Chapter 564, Fleet Decisive Battle

On the war ark ‘Alfonzo II’, the meeting of the sages ended urgently.

There was no need to continue.

The core theme of their meeting was to summarize the information and try to determine the location of the main fleet of the alliance.

But now, there is no need.

The main fleet of the alliance has appeared in front of them and launched a strong attack on them.

The screens around the conference hall where the sages were located immediately lit up, and the observation signals of the outside of the starship were received one by one. Some of them were processed pictures, and the other part was pure data flow.

These data streams, on conventional human ships, require special technical experts to access the information, and after processing and translation, they can be reported to the captain and commander.

But on the fleet of the Mechanicus, there is no need.

The sages are both commanders and superb technicians.

The information is connected to the core processor of the brain, and they can quickly understand what is happening at the moment.

They were ambushed by the main fleet of the alliance. Of the eight giant ships mentioned in the intelligence, seven were present, and only the Flying Wing, which had been attacked by the Rage Flame and was seriously damaged, seemed to be present.

But in the absence of the Flying Wing, a ‘Ghost Shark’ battle barge was added. This is the flagship of the Blood Shark Regiment, a battle barge specialized in rapid strikes.

The overall combat power must have increased.

But in any case, the strength of the Ark Fleet is far superior to that of the Alliance.

This made the seven mechanical sages on ‘Alfonzo II’ feel a huge sense of disbelief:

“How dare they?”

This was not only what they thought in their hearts, but one sage even said it directly.

No matter how they thought about it, they couldn’t figure it out.

Ambush?

This was indeed an ambush. After entering the Bowan galaxy, they contacted the local planet. Bowan Star should not have turned to the Alliance so far, and they also said that they had never observed any traces of the Alliance fleet.

Now it seems that it might be a deception, or the Alliance used some means to cover up their whereabouts, so that the Alliance's actions in space could not be observed on Bowang Star.

The latter is more likely, because before the Alliance Fleet took the initiative to show up and take action, the Ark Fleet could not find the Alliance's traces, so naturally it could not demand too much from the people of Bowang Star.

Of course, this is not important.

The Alliance has already appeared, and investigating the cause is not what we need to do now.

Ambush, for the attacker, is naturally advantageous.

But in interstellar naval battles, the advantages that ambush can bring are very limited.

It's not that they were accurately ambushed at the jump point, and there would be a situation where the void shield and firepower system need to be restarted. During normal navigation, although the ship will not fully activate the void shield, according to the standards of safe navigation, these defense systems must still maintain a minimum level of operation.

As soon as they are hit, they can immediately increase the operating power and enter combat status.

The same is true for the firepower system.

The Alliance ships opened fire, and the Mechanicus fleet was able to use the fire control system to lock the Alliance ships as targets and quickly fire back.

The Alliance only gained a preliminary advantage through the ambush.

It was indeed useful. In the early stage of the surprise attack, the Mechanicus fleet was hit by a wave of firepower when the shield was not fully activated. Then, with the shield fully activated, it was hit by another round of volleys before it began to counterattack.

But in general, the damage was not great.

It was actually quite extreme for the Alliance to launch an attack without being discovered by the Mechanical Ark Fleet. No matter how powerful the lurking means were, it was impossible to be discovered only when they were very close to the Ark Fleet.

The distance between the two sides at the start of the battle was quite far.

The farther the distance, the lower the hit rate of various weapons; in addition to missile-type weapons, the power of macro cannons and light spears will also be attenuated to a certain extent.

In this way, the threat caused by the two rounds of firepower that the Alliance can launch first is actually relatively limited.

The Ark Fleet suffered some damage, but it was mainly concentrated on some small ships.

Their destruction had little impact on the strength of the entire fleet.

When the Ark Fleet launched a counterattack, the Alliance was also naturally damaged, and some small ships were destroyed.

In general, the Ark Fleet must have suffered more losses.

But it was completely within the acceptable range.

And then, the two sides set up their positions and fought head-on.

At this stage, the first-mover advantage gained by the Alliance through ambush has been fulfilled, and the two sides will eventually compete in fleet hard power.

In this regard, the Alliance Fleet will not have any advantage.

So why did the Alliance Fleet take the initiative to fight this battle?

Originally, it was thought that the Alliance, which was so well hidden, had some great conspiracy, and the sages had held more than one or two meetings for this.

In the end, this is it?

That Gu Hang, has lost his mind?

Alfonzo's sages really can't figure this problem out.

"It's not a bad thing. At least, we now know exactly where the main fleet of the Alliance is, right?"

"They are right in front of us."

"Destroy them! Victory to Alfonzo!"

Since then, a naval battle that has been regarded as the largest in the entire Aozlaw star field for hundreds of years has broken out.

The total number of ships above the battlecruiser level that participated in the battle on both sides has reached 22! Added together, that may be worth more than one trillion tax coins.

The outcome of this war will directly determine the trend of the entire southern battlefield.

In an instant, the ships of both sides that launched a fleet decisive battle bombarded each other frantically.

The brilliance of countless light spears, macro cannons, and missiles covered this large area of ​​airspace.

In the starry sky, fire and explosions intertwined into a spectacular war picture. The macro cannons and light spears of the Alfonzo fleet bombarded the alliance ships, and each bombardment made the space tremble, as if to tear the void apart. Although the alliance fleet fought back hard, it was obviously at a disadvantage in terms of firepower. Under the continuous attacks, the energy of their ship shields gradually decayed, and some had begun to crack.

The sages of the Alfonzo fleet exchanged battlefield information through the internal communication network.

"We have the advantage in firepower, continue to suppress!" The voice of a sage sounded in the network, and his words were immediately recognized by others.

In this contest of power, the Alfonzo fleet was determined to defeat the opponent in one go.

A dragon snake-class battlecruiser of the Ark Fleet: "Iron Will" is at the forefront of the battle line.

Its main gun is like a deadly sickle, harvesting the lives of enemy ships again and again. Its captain, a ruling bishop who is almost integrated with the ship's command organization at the bridge of the ship, is understanding the battlefield situation through countless information directly transmitted to his mind. At the same time, countless information also came out of his mind, and with the assistance of many servo skulls and engine prophets, it was transformed into action commands to drive various functional units of the ship.

The overall strength of the alliance fleet still needs to be affirmed. Eight giant ships are a force that cannot be underestimated in any case.

However, in the current head-on battle, the Ark Fleet, which had an absolute advantage in firepower, still quickly suppressed the opponent.

Especially the Emperor-class battleship and the War Ark, which were two huge core firepower platforms of the Star Wars, and one was stronger than three.

Under their cover, the ‘Iron Will’ was like a fish in water on the battlefield, and several Alliance ships had been destroyed by it. And now, it has set its sights on an Alliance Moon-class cruiser.

The shield of that ship had already seen blood, and it was forced to burn out by the artillery fire from all sides. It was moving in the formation of the Alliance fleet, hiding behind it to buy time to restore the void shield.

However, the ‘Iron Will’ did not intend to give the opponent this opportunity.

The Moon-class did not find that it was being targeted, and the ‘Iron Will’ only needed to use the X-class main gun ‘Destruction Judgment’ at this time to give it a shot, and there was a great chance that it would be directly destroyed.

A Moon-class ship is certainly not one of the eight giant ships of the Alliance, but it is by no means unimportant.

If one is destroyed, the firepower of the Alliance fleet will be reduced.

Victory is accumulated bit by bit.

However, at this moment,

the void shield of the "Iron Will" suddenly became abnormal, and the shield surface fluctuated, as if torn by some unknown force.

In the bridge, the alarm sounded suddenly, and the captain immediately issued an order: "Do your best to stabilize the void shield! Adjust the course and avoid the focus of firepower!"

But it was too late.

In the next moment, the void shield of the "Iron Will" completely collapsed.

Then, as if premeditated, the Alliance fleet hit the shieldless hull with a series of missiles and light spears.

The armor of the battlecruiser is not an advantage. Without the void shield, the speed advantage is not very effective in this battle battle environment. The battlecruiser that was subjected to concentrated firepower has a survivability that is not much better than the Moon-class ship that they just targeted.

Amid the fierce artillery fire, a huge explosion tore the once mighty battlecruiser into pieces, and the wreckage and flames drifted in space.

This scene was captured by other Alfonzo ships and immediately caused a commotion.

The loss of the ‘Iron Will’ was a huge blow to the Alfonzo fleet. It was not only a loss of strength, but also a heavy blow to morale.

The sages quickly adjusted their tactics and tried to make up for this sudden gap.

“Find out the cause immediately. We can’t let this happen again!” The voices of the sages were transmitted nervously and quickly in the communication network.

The situation on the battlefield changed in an instant. The offensive of the Alfonzo fleet was slightly chaotic because of this sudden situation, and the balance of war seemed to begin to swing at this moment.

But they still have powerful firepower and indestructible will.

The sages of the Alfonzo fleet knew that the victory of this battle was still in their hands.

However, the loss of a battlecruiser was still painful.

Although the Alfonzo was impressive, there were only nine battlecruisers in their fleet.

Moreover, the death of the ‘Steel Will’ was a bit too bizarre.

We must find out the cause, and further, find a solution, otherwise the trouble will be too great.

The cause was quickly confirmed by them: psychic energy.

It was the power of psychic energy that tore the void shield of the ‘Steel Will’.

"Gu Hang... and the Storm Mage Corps of the Alliance... The psychic power they possess is more powerful than what is mentioned in the intelligence."

Du Bo made such a judgment.

Paulson said: "Sage Du Bo, we can't let Gu Hang continue to do this, otherwise even if we can achieve the final victory, the loss will become unacceptable. Now, only you have the ability to fight against his psychic power."

"You don't have to say it."

Sage Du Bo left the bridge after saying this.

With the help of the mechanical structure, his body floated, passing through the corridor inside the ship at a very fast speed, and came to a hidden cabin.

Here, there is a huge machine, its surface is covered with complex patterns and symbols, emitting a faint blue light, as if whispering the oldest secrets of the universe. At the center of the machine is a sphere composed of energy fields, which imprisoned a huge and strange creature.

Its appearance is terrifying, like a long worm. The body is dark purple, and the surface is covered with wriggling blood vessels and tendons, which looks twisted and disgusting. Its head is unusually large and is covered by a layer of chitinous shell. The gaps in the shell are full of dense eyes, each of which emits a faint green light, revealing its psychic power. Its tentacles constantly rub in the energy field, making an unsettling buzzing sound.

Those who have a deep understanding of the Void Zerg can quickly determine that this is a very rare thing among the Void Zerg: a neuroprotozoan, or a brain worm tyrant.

Brain worms may be the latest type of Void Zerg beasts to evolve. In the few historical records of the Void Zerg a thousand years ago, there was no such worm.

The earliest report occurred a thousand years ago. Especially in the last few hundred years, it has become more and more.

Some reports believe that this is a new war machine that has evolved after the Void Zerg successfully cracked and transformed the genes of some psychics, or even a powerful psychic race.

They are powerful psychics who can use the psychic power gathered by the hive master brain.

These creatures have evolved to the extreme, and their shrunken bodies and swollen heads rely entirely on psychic power as a power source. They can only rely on psychic energy to float themselves, hovering above the battlefield, launching psychic attacks on the enemies below, or transmitting orders from the hive master brain to the smaller Tyranids.

And 'Tyrant' is the name for some powerful individuals in the Void Zerg.

Combining the two, the neuroprotozoan known as the Brainworm Tyrant is imaginable how powerful it is.

And this one, even among the brainworm tyrants recorded in the Empire, is particularly large in size.

Sage Du Bo stretched out his hands, and countless nerve cords stretched out from his arms and his back, connecting to the equipment in front of him.

As he operated, the brainworm's eyes began to flash more frequently, and its tentacles also accelerated the frequency of rubbing.

Suddenly, a strong psychic wave was released from the brainworm's body, penetrating the energy field and spreading into space. It was like a huge net, capturing the psychic power wandering in space.

These forces were originally under Gu Hang's control and acted recklessly, but now they have encountered unprecedented opponents.

In the void of space, two psychic forces began a fierce confrontation.

Psychic energy is invisible and intangible, but when the two collide with each other, they will emit substantial light waves.

The psychic storms collided with each other, making a deafening roar - this sound was not transmitted through vibrating sound waves, but more like it resounded directly in the minds of every creature.

The visible light waves and storms intertwined, sometimes the psychic waves of the brainworms prevailed and suppressed the storm; sometimes the storms counterattacked and tore the light waves apart.

This silent battle was staged in the starry sky, like two invisible beasts fighting. Every collision caused the surrounding space to distort, and directly had some impact on all the starships present.

The information exchange between starships, and even within starships, was greatly disturbed. Even if the anti-interference equipment was fully pulled, it could not be completely shielded.

The decisive battle between the two ships became chaotic and excessive.

Gu Hang was in his own bridge, and the azure light in his eyes was already extremely brilliant.

Countless psychics of the Storm Mage Corps were connected to him. But in the confrontation just now, several Storm Mage couldn't hold on.

Those in good condition only had blood coming out of their mouths and noses, and looked listless, but they were still able to disconnect the psychic connection and crawl to the side to rest.

Those in poor condition had their brains exploded into a blood mist.

Gu Hang frowned.

The strength of the psychic power that suddenly appeared on the battlefield was beyond his expectations.

Gu Hang certainly wouldn't be naive to think that the Alfonzo Ark Fleet, with such a large scale, would have no means to fight against psychic power.

But in general, the Mechanicus is not a force that is good at using psychic power. They may have some strange technology that can be used for good protection. It's just that it's not common to use psychic power to do something actively.

It's just that the current situation exceeded his expectations.

It's not impossible that Alfonzo also raised a powerful psychic.

However, the scale of the psychic strength that appeared on the battlefield was a bit excessive.

This is definitely at the level of an Alpha-level psychic.

This means that this is definitely not a power that ordinary people can master.

Where can Alfonzo get a stable Alpha class for them to use?

What's even stranger is that Gu Hang can still feel that the psychic power against him has a very strange... taste.

It doesn't look like a human psychic, nor does it look like the psychic power used by the abyss demons that Gu Hang has dealt with many times.

What the hell is this?
