Chapter 1068: Battle of Stoke (IV)
Looking at the actions of the Black Mang Empire's Third Guard Corps, Lin Fan immediately realized that something was wrong.
After all, with the federal fleet besieging the exit of the passage, the best way for the Third Guard Corps to reduce casualties would be to immediately disperse the formation upon arrival and meet the enemy with a loose formation.
But what about now?
They suddenly used a super tight array, so tight that it was almost as tight as the feeling when the Zerg formed the swarm of insects.
In this way, not only will casualties be increased, but casualties will actually be increased!
But is the commander of the Black Mang Empire a fool?
Obviously, the fleet commander of an old empire that is constantly at war with other civilizations cannot be a fool, otherwise the Black Mang Empire would have been destroyed long ago.
Well, if the commander wasn't too stupid, the only problem could only be with those huge ships that had just arrived.
"Notify all combat units to use the most penetrating attack method and break through the Third Guards' array. I want to know what those oversized ships in their array are doing!"
"Yes, Marshal!"
Of course, the combat units that Lin Fan was referring to at this moment were not those Canglong-class battleships. After all, the battleships' attack methods were relatively simple, and there were no weapons with stronger penetrating power than the black cavity focused energy rays currently used.
Therefore, what Lin Fan was referring to were the one hundred civilization guardians of the Federation and the one hundred thousand top dark energy users who had just been deployed!
The order was quickly transmitted to the front line, and everyone took action, launching their strongest and most penetrating attacks. The attack arrays composed of thousands of top dark energy users also took action.
The next moment, more than 200 beams of light of various colors and different powers shot towards the entrance of the fault channel.
The defense array formed by the Third Royal Guard Fleet was like tofu, which was easily pierced by a chisel and was completely defenseless.
The attack that penetrated its array continued to shoot into its interior without any obstruction.
However.
It's already a beat late.
After the array was blasted open with hundreds of holes, the Federation also saw part of the scene inside.
They were terrifying beasts with hideous faces and huge bodies. After sensing the attack, they instinctively released something like a shield barrier, directly blocking the light beams that had been weakened to a certain extent due to penetrating the fleet formation.
"Black cavity creature!"
Inside the flagship Cambridge, Lin Fan gritted his teeth and whispered as he watched this scene.
What are black cavity organisms?
That is to say, the state of the semi-black cavity life form belongs to the same dimension as the state of Garlon before Lin Fan and others helped him evolve.
It is countless times more powerful than the peak dark energy, but it is far inferior to the real black cavity life form.
In a one-on-one situation, it is not difficult for a black cavity life form to kill or subdue a black cavity creature. Even a one-on-two or one-on-three situation is not a problem!
But the problem now is that there are 1,200 black cavity creatures on the other side. Based on the number of civilization guardians on Lin Fan's side, each person has to deal with 12 of them!
This is quite difficult, no, it should be said that it is completely disadvantageous.
Moreover, there are also black cavity life forms in the Third Guard Corps, and there are as many as 50 of them.
If we don't find a way to get rid of these black cavity creatures before they arrive, once the black cavity life forms of the Third Guard Corps join in, the Federation will definitely not be able to stop them!
"What a great trick! But how did you do it?"
Even from Luo Li, Lin Fan had never heard of any civilization that could control the black cavity creatures. What seemed impossible to him had become a reality.
As expected, what Luo Li said was right. Any god-level civilization should not be underestimated. With the chaos technology that has infinite plasticity of the Royal Guards, any bizarre thing could happen!
Once you are careless and underestimate the enemy, the outcome will be destruction!
"Scan those black cavity creatures in detail and find any abnormalities for me!"
"Yes, Marshal!"
There is one thing Lin Fan can be sure of, there are inherently hostile genes between black cavity creatures and cosmic creatures, and the two can never stand on the same front and join forces to fight the enemy.
Therefore, the only possibility is that the Black Mang Empire has mastered some method or technology to control the black cavity creatures. In this case, no matter what method or technology is used, it will definitely leave some unusual places on or inside the body of the black cavity creature. As long as these places are found.
It is possible to break the current situation.
Fortunately, although the black cavity creatures are very strong, most of them do not have ultra-long-range attack capabilities, and basically use close combat as the main means. Among them, only a small number of individuals can use large-scale and ultra-long-range attack methods like Garlon before.
Therefore, for the time being, Lin Fan was not worried that these black cavity creatures would endanger the fleet on the defense line, but if a solution was not found after a few minutes, then there were only two options left for Lin Fan.
One is to abandon the ambush and evacuate the entire fleet immediately.
The other option is to get rid of these black cavity creatures at the cost of heavy casualties, and then get rid of the Third Guard Corps at the cost of being half-crippled.
Obviously, no matter which path it was, it did not meet Lin Fan's original expectations.
"Marshal, we have detected some devices of unknown purpose in the brains of these black cavity creatures!"
"Look, it's right here!"
An expert on the bridge opened the scan results and pointed to an abnormal area in the brain.
"Is there a way to destroy it?"
"We don't know the method they used, let alone the reason. It is basically impossible to destroy it under such circumstances!"
Shaking his head, the expert said.
"So, is it possible to cut off its connection with the outside world? Since it is controlled, there must be a channel for transmitting commands, right?"
"That's true, but if you want to intercept or crack the communication used to transmit commands, you still have to understand the methods and principles used. For now, I, Su Ri'an, can track the connection between them, but it will still take a lot of time to analyze the specific technology used and crack it."
Still shaking his head, the expert spoke again.
"Is there really no way out? Wait! You just said that we can track the transmission of the signal. Do you mean we can find which warship is controlling these black cavity creatures?"
"Yes, but this does not help to crack their chain of command!"
"What if I destroy the battleship in charge?"
"this."
"Stop talking about this and that, just tell me, is this useful?"
Seeing the expert hesitating, Lin Fan interrupted him and asked.
"If there are no other secondary systems on the second battleship, then we should be able to cut off control of it!"
"If there is a secondary system, then just keep on blasting it, right?"
Hearing Lin Fan say this, the expert was dumbfounded.
But it seems.
Is this the truth?
