Chapter 1601: The Call for Help of Caesar Celatis
boom! boom! boom……
The roar of the dark matter torpedo of Andromeda α1024 spread throughout the entire Andromeda galaxy through quantum communication.
Palesi nobles of Andromeda α001 Templar star, when they heard the bang of the explosion of the battleship, it was like a heavy hammer hitting their faces.
Prince Epsis saw with his own eyes that the commander of the fleet he had selected from his family died in battle like this, and his emotions were very complicated.
He knew very well that the commander of the fleet wanted to prove his ability to him, but the result did not satisfy him, and he even risked his life.
In fact.
Prince Epsis was more than a thousand light-years away. When he gave orders to the fleet commander in the battlefield, he did not think carefully, but subconsciously believed that the strength of vacuum zero-point energy should be verified in actual combat.
Originally, such an order was normal. In normal thinking, even if the space battle failed and the pursuit fleet chose to evacuate, it would usually be able to withdraw safely.
It's just that he ignored the experience of the human second fleet in super-light space battles, which eventually led to such a result.
In fact, after Prince Epsys gave the order, he regretted it a little, but the words have been said, even if the fleet suffers some losses, they can still gain experience, so they did not withdraw the order.
Unexpectedly, the commander of the fleet he personally selected would die in battle like this.
He knew very well in his heart that this young fleet commander was eager to show his ability, and he was a little less calm.
Even if you regret it now, it's too late.
Except for Prince Epsis, the high-level Palesi and nobles in the main hall of the Templar Star Palace began to panic.
Because Andromeda alpha 1024 is in a bad situation.
The few human fleets dominated the battlefield with a crushing advantage.
Their fleet of 300,000 nobles is like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered in a sheepfold, with no advantages except for their large number.
And Andromeda α1024 stellar ring is like an insurmountable mountain, blocking the front of the 300,000 fleet.
at this time.
A piece of information was sent to Templar.
"The rebel army of Caesar's Court is gathering towards Andromeda α1024. There are three rebel armies, the number of which exceeds 70,000."
When the nobles in the Saint Reese Hall heard the news, their expressions became even more ugly.
The fleet of 70,000 low-level rebels seems to be much smaller than Palesi's fleet of 300,000 nobles.
However, the 300,000 aristocratic fleet already has no advantage in the face of the resistance of humans, mechanical empires, and photosynthetic civilizations. With the addition of 70,000 rebels joining the battlefield, the advantage in the number of battleships will also decrease.
If this continues, the situation of Andromeda α1024 will become more and more unfavorable.
A military staff officer of the Triangular Fleet walked to Mekkatorque and said in a low voice: "From the battle reports sent back by the noble fleet, the vacuum zero-point energy warships transformed by the nobles are completely unable to fight against the dark matter-class warships of humans. So far, humanity’s Dark Matter-class warships still have zero battle damage, only a few small torpedo ships have been lost.”
Mekkatorque has been paying attention to the battle situation, his expression is getting more and more dignified, and his heart continues to sink when he hears the report from his old subordinates.
After thinking for a moment, he reported to Saint Reis Celatis on the throne: "Your Majesty, it's time for the Royal Fleet to set off."
Saint Rhys Celatis frowned, and asked doubtfully: "Didn't you say before that you will wait for the noble fleet to cross Andromeda α1024 and join the Templar Star before launching a decisive battle?"
A sneer flashed across Mekkatorque's expression for a moment, and then he replied in a cold tone: "The 300,000 noble fleet should not be able to make it through, and can only go to war."
"The tactics you discussed before are not like this." Saint Rhys Seratis was still hesitant, because starting the battle now is completely different from the combat strategy formulated at the beginning.
"I also want to fight according to the original tactics, but the battlefield is changing rapidly, and there is never a fixed number. The 300,000 noble fleet can't make it through. It is credit for them to contain the human fleet of Andromeda α1024.
The decisive battle of Andromeda α001 can only rely on the current Templar fleet. "Mekkatorque replied with a serious tone.
Prince Epsis returned to the hall and said aloud: "Follow General Mekkatorque's order, let's go to war. If we continue to drag on, the situation of the war may become more and more unfavorable to us."
Even the prince said so, and Saint Rhys Celatis no longer objected, saying: "Since this is the case, I have to ask the general again, what are the chances of winning?"
"In the star field around Andromeda α001, the chances of winning are at least 60%. Even if human civilization is not completely defeated, at least it will be a lose-lose situation. Even if there is only a little bit of Palesi's heritage left, it is far superior to human beings. The glory of the temple will not be extinguished. ’ replied Mekkatorque.
"Then who will lead the fleet to go to war?" Saint Rhys Celatis looked at the high-ranking members of the military council in the hall.
No one answered.
Only Mekkatorque saluted and said, "I will personally lead the fleet to go out."
...
Three hours later.
The temple of Andromeda α001 shone dazzlingly, and the power of Redios spread in the star field around the star circle of the temple.
The southeast direction of the low-speed spectacle began to change, and an exit appeared.
Mekkatorque commanded fifteen thousand royal fleets, flew out of the spectacle of low light speed, formed a formation in deep space, and confronted the Carbon-based Alliance fleet.
Among the carbon-based alliance fleets, there are mainly human expedition fleets, and the number of fleets of machine empires and photosynthetic civilizations is about 8,000.
The number of warships in the human expedition fleet here is 10,000.
Mekkatorque commanded the real Pope's fleet, with a number of 15,000 ships, and the two sides were evenly matched.
The two huge fleets confronted each other in space, each of them formed a formation, and did not start a war immediately.
After the fleet lined up, Mekkatorque took the initiative to initiate a communication.
Communication access to Shenzhou.
"If it is not a hostile relationship, I would appreciate you and your civilization, it is indeed very suitable for survival in the universe."
Mekkatorque took the initiative to speak and said a seemingly plain sentence.
This sentence is equivalent to acknowledging that human civilization is powerful in the universe. At least for 50,000 years, the Palesian civilization has never been as miserable as it is now.
"I'm different from you, and I appreciate you very much, but your civilization, that's fine." Fang Yuan responded calmly.
When Mekkatorque heard this, a wave of fluctuation flashed across his expression.
After a moment of silence, he said again: "The methods you used to start the Palesi civil war are ruthless and effective enough.
"At first, I didn't understand why you were able to consume the heritage of the temple through a civil war.
"Later, after I studied your civilization, I finally understood.
"A civil war like this will happen every few hundred years in your civilization.
"However, there has never been a civil war in the history of the church.
"Even if it is a higher civilization, there are still shortcomings in fields that have not been experienced.
"However, as long as this war is over, the history of the church will also experience civil war. Even if such a thing happens again in the future, it will not cause such serious consequences.
"This is the catastrophe of Palesi. After the catastrophe, civilization will be revived. I have already seen the future."
Fang Yuan listened carefully to his words, and asked: "What if you can't survive this calamity?"
"In this battle now, I can't guarantee who will win and who will lose, but..."
Mekkatorque's tone suddenly became solemn: "However, I can see clearly the future of civilization. Paleser's background, even after the civil war, is still profound.
"The former Triangulum civilization, such a weak civilization, gave birth to a mechanical empire after the calamity.
"Based on Palesey's background, after the catastrophe, only stronger existences will be born to lead civilization to revival."
Of course Fang Yuan could tell that the person he was talking about was Lazul, the ancestor of machinery.
Lazul was born at the end of the Triangulum civilization, experienced the process of civilization demise, and finally set off a mechanical revolution, established a mechanical empire, and joined two other civilizations to establish a carbon-based alliance, which continued the civilization war for 50,000 years.
Lazul is the great existence born of the Triangulum civilization after the calamity.
The current situation of the Palesian civilization is actually much better than that of the previous Triangulum civilization.
At least for now, the Palesi civilization has not surrendered, it is still proud, it is still the civilization with the strongest comprehensive strength, and the advanced civilization with the deepest foundation.
Fang Yuan showed a slight smile, and said: "According to what you mean, Saint Rhys Seratis can't lead Palesi civilization to revival, it needs to wait for another great existence to be born."
When Mekkatorque heard this, his expression changed immediately.
This sentence was not only heard by him, but also by Palesi's high-ranking officials, nobles, and Saint Rhys Celatis on the throne.
Although this sentence came from Fang Yuan's mouth, the key points mentioned in the words were indeed from Mekkatorque's mouth.
Mekkatorque immediately sensed the murderous intent hidden in these words.
If Prince Epsis was sitting on the throne, Mekkatorque might not be worried, but if it was Saint Rhys Celatis, then something might be wrong.
"Humans, your ability to calculate the internal conflicts of your opponents is indeed very powerful, but it also makes me feel sick. Is it that difficult to decide the outcome in an upright manner?" Mekkatorque snapped.
Fang Yuan's smile became brighter, and he continued: "To be honest, Caesar Seratis' leadership is better. If he didn't encounter any accidents, I think he has hope to revive Palesai, but it's a pity..."
"Let's go to war. Stop talking nonsense!" Mekkatorque immediately interrupted Fang Yuan, and then communicated with each other, ordering the fleet to prepare for war.
...
After the communication is cut off.
Fang Yuan looked back at Zhao Anya, and said: "Proceed according to the previous plan."
"Okay, I've already made arrangements. Three hours later, I will arrange for the battleship to send Caesar Seratis back. The excuse is to ensure the safety of Caesar's court. When the battleship is transferred, Caesar Seratis will Tees will have an opportunity to convey information, it depends on how he uses it." Zhao Anya repeated the arranged plan.
"Very good, let's see how this nobleman who is determined to lead Palesei to revival decides." Fang Yuan said.
at the same time.
Mekkatorque gave the order to fight.
The Human Expeditionary Fleet and the Palesi Royal Fleet began to fire at each other's main guns at long distances to test the opponent's firepower level and arrange battle strategies at the same time.
Mekkatorque ordered the wings of the fleet to spread out to both sides, making an outflanking motion.
At the same time, some battleships began to disappear from the radar of the human scouting ships, hiding themselves.
After the destruction of the Felwood ghost fleet, the Palesi civilization tried every means to cultivate a new ghost fleet.
Although the effect is not as good as the previous trump card Ghost Fleet, it can still exert a good effect.
Carbon-Based Alliance side.
The fleets of the Mechanical Empire and the Photosynthetic Civilization spread out to both sides, preparing for flank defense.
At the beginning of the war, the exchange of fire between the two sides was not intense.
After going on for three hours, the fighting started to get intense.
At this time, a warship came to the side of the Shenzhou, and after the warship connected, Caesar Celatis was pressed by the guards and transferred to the destroyer.
The destroyer pulled back, preparing to withdraw from the battlefield.
After being transferred to the destroyer, there was a short gap in the surveillance network, and Caesar Seratis found an opportunity to transmit information to the outside world.
He only hesitated for half a second before sending out a message.
Almost at the same time.
Mekkatorque discovered that a message appeared in the secret communication channel left by his teacher Zandar Ikochi.
Only a few students of Zandar Ikochi knew about this secret communication channel.
It used to be the place where Caesar Seratis, Mekkatorque and several other Zandar Ikochi students met secretly, but after Caesar Seratis returned to Templar to usurp the throne, this communication channel stopped used.
Mekkatorque once again discovered that there was a message transmitted in this communication channel, and when he opened it, he saw the message transmitted by Caesar Seratis.
He didn't look at the content of the message immediately, because this message might affect the battle situation, or even the fate of civilization.
It took three seconds for Mekkatorque to open the message.
The content of the information is very intermittent, and it is obviously very difficult for the other party to convey the information.
After the message was opened, it was a distress message.
The message included the flight direction of a destroyer.
In addition, there is a passage from Caesar Celatis.
"This is Palesse's only hope of recovery, Mekkatorque.
"I don't know the language to convince you, but civilization is torn apart and every decision now counts.
"I don't know if you still remember the years when you fought in the Triangulum Galaxy, if possible, I would rather go back to that time.
"We can not be controlled by any nobles, and we can command our fleet at will, rampaging in the Triangulum galaxy.
"At that time, we were invincible.
"It's a pity that the era we were born in wasn't the best era.
"If I were given another ten years, or even five years, civilization would not be what it is now.
"Mekkatorque, civilization has been torn apart. I don't know if you are willing to admit that even if you win this decisive battle, it will not be able to cover up that Palesi's system is extremely corrupt.
"Although the rebels are driven by human civilization, they are right in saying that the aristocracy is the biggest scourge of civilization.
"You came from the bottom of the group, and you know best how difficult it is.
"The decaying system needs a thorough reform in exchange for the revival of civilization.
"During this time, I thought a lot before I finally made this decision.
"If I still see the light of day, I will overthrow the aristocratic system and make Palesi a brand new civilization, truly climbing the ladder of god-level civilization."
After reading this message, Mekkatorque fell silent for a long time...
