Chapter 1002: The Power of the Ruins (Part 1)

The smartest politician is one who can turn everything into a political event and use political means to resolve it.

The old face on the big screen opposite had disappeared, replaced by streams of flames flowing in front of the battleship formation.

More than 20 landing craft, carrying the expectation of His Royal Highness, crossed the high-altitude orbit of the wandering planet, pierced the thin atmosphere, and flew towards the huge black mouth where the edge and end could not be seen in the distance.

Inside the cabin, the blood wolf warrior with the high-frequency sword on his back sat in the ejection seat and carefully checked the various equipment he was carrying. During the whole process, he could only hear the sound of buckles opening and closing and loading magazines, other than that, there was no verbal communication.

Behind the landing craft formation that was getting farther and farther away, 2,700 warships covered the entire airspace, which was as dark as a rain cloud, with a sense of oppression that made people breathless.

The warships under the Hydra Legion did not see a ray of light, like a coffin in the void. This kind of painting and modification gave the enemy navy soldiers a strong visual and psychological impact in the war, and then won an advantage in morale, especially for the Covenant Navy. For an army that has never actually fought, it is tantamount to a psychological nuclear bomb.

But the enemy they are facing today is not the Covenant Navy, nor Captain Tang's tribal troops, but the dark sinkhole.

The wandering planet is still moving forward at a constant speed, and still rotating at a constant speed. When the landing craft that was in charge of picking up Bridge and others back to the ship entered a high-altitude orbit and flew to the Magic Wolf, more than 20 landing craft headed for the tiankeng also crossed the horizon and entered the ruins internal.

According to the information provided by Church, there is a screening area in the upper area of ​​the ruins, and the landing craft with high energy response will be intercepted by the gravitational bubble and lose the ability to move. Including the driver, commander, and blood wolf commandos, they are all on guard, and when the landing craft encounters obstacles, they will start the ejection procedure, and continue to move forward with the help of the silver steel-level power armor and the Griffon Knight-level power armor.

However, what they didn't expect was that the landing craft was not blocked at the depth noted in Church's report, but was replaced by the brightness change of the distant crystal wall. Ever since the landing craft entered the range of the ruins, the light revealed by those honeycomb lattices became more and more intense, becoming like a raging flame, giving people the illusion of being in purgatory.

At this moment, the active curve on the display above the dashboard attracted the attention of the pilot of the landing craft, which represented the level of activity of the energy overflowing from the center of the earth. Some pilots believed that this change was due to the brighter light radiation from the hive crystal walls, but some pilots didn't think so, and chose to contact the Fleet Command Center to report this anomaly.

Who knew that the unimpeded communication just now was suddenly interfered by an unknown force, and even the quantum communication terminal specially carried to resist electromagnetic interference was useless.

At the same time, in the deep space behind,

The battleship of the Phantom Fleet, which was at the forefront of the battleship array, received an alarm from the gravitational meter, and the rapidly oscillating gravitational waveform shook into a ball on the indicator.

"What's the matter?" Some unknown captains asked, but no one could answer. This gravitational shock came and went quickly, and it returned to normal after a few breaths, and the waveform tended to be gentle.

Just when many crew members were full of doubts and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the 21 landing craft located inside the tiankeng suddenly encountered an extremely strong suction force, gushing out from the ruins to the depths, which caught people off guard.

The imbalance indicator light flashes rapidly, the alarm bell makes a sharp and piercing sound, and the swaying hull shakes the blood wolf warriors and their commanders who are on standby in the rear cabin. The buttocks and the whole body are shaking, making a ping-pong-pong sound.

"What's the matter?" The same question as the commander of the rear battleship resounded through the cockpit of every landing craft.

"The ruins...the ruins suddenly had a suction force, which disrupted the balance of the landing craft." The pilots turned on the auxiliary injectors one after another, trying to balance the hull by increasing the thrust, but they couldn't match the growing force at all. The suction counterbalanced, and the landing craft even tilted to one side due to the influence of the auxiliary injector.

Hearing the driver's answer, the soldiers on standby in the back cabin felt a little relieved, wondering if they had entered the strange gravitational zone mentioned in the intelligence. At the combat meeting before departure, the general who planned this operation told them that after the landing craft enters the tiankeng, it will trigger the gravitational trap of the relic and be imprisoned, but there is no need to worry, the gravitational bubble will only be born to objects with a relatively strong energy level Response, soldiers wearing power armor will not be hindered.

Many people began to do the final inspection before the ejection, and only waited for the landing craft to be wrapped in the gravity bubble before starting the second step, using the specially-made power armor to continue diving into the depths of the ruins.

Unfortunately, they failed to do so, and the second step was aborted. The 21 landing craft were like flat boats caught in the vortex of the ocean. After struggling a little, they were rolled up by the rapidly growing suction force and turned to fly deeper.

The fast flashing lights inside the cabin were replaced by crackling sparks. The mental shock brought about by the spinning of the ship made many people dizzy. The rattling alloy steel plate seemed to be violently torn by a big hand. The cracks in the car penetrated, and the pressure loss and oxygen leakage turned the driver in front into a bloody corpse.

They couldn't figure out why it happened, what happened. Someone endured strong dizziness and vomiting, and asked loudly: "Commander, this is completely different from what was said at the combat meeting..."

Yes, it is completely different, there is no gravitational bubble, only a gravitational tide... No, it is a gravitational storm, like a scalpel used to dismember a corpse, easily cut the outer skin, cut the peritoneum, pull out the contents, and become countless Fragments, sucked into the endless dark abyss.

"The blue fox team called the command center... The blue fox team called the command center..." In the dilapidated cockpit, the speaker of the communication system echoed a slightly distorted call for help.

The sinking of 12 landing craft was not the end, but the beginning. Three breaths after the rapidly oscillating gravitational wave disappeared, a huge suction from the ruins to the depths engulfed the action team, and at the same time broke through the earth's crust at the speed of light, constructing an extremely large gravity well, pulling dozens of people above the wandering planet. A fan-shaped area at an altitude of 10,000 kilometers is shrouded in it.

A gravitational storm is not like a volcanic eruption or a tsunami, and there is no spectacular or majestic prelude. Almost at the moment when Woolf Keith, the deputy commander of the Hydra Corps, received the warning, the gravitational storm had reached the airspace where more than 2,700 warships were located, and turned into a huge gravity well that narrowed downward, bringing all warships under its influence. scope.

Many people had no time to react, the tail thrusters were still in low-power mode, and the huge hull accelerated forward under the action of gravity, like a tornado carrying scattered gravel on the ground. The body fell towards the tiankeng, and the emergency activated auxiliary injector sprayed out blue flames, but it was powerless to resist the suction.

"How did this happen? Why did this happen!" Woolf Keith's face with a striking scar concealed shock and bewilderment under his fortitude. He is not a waste, how can he be a waste if he can be the deputy commander of the Hydra Legion. But in the face of this kind of power that human beings can only look up to and pray for, strategies, skills, martial arts and so on have no effect.

What is one force to drop ten meetings? This is called one force to drop ten meetings!

Just imagine, the scene of more than 2,000 warships rushing slowly and quickly towards the huge black hole on the ground of the wandering planet, engulfed by a gravitational storm, is so magnificent and magnificent.

It takes a process to go from relatively static to high-speed travel. Some captains try to reverse the posture of the battleship, facing the crater with the stern of the ship, and at the same time overload the tail thruster group, hoping to get rid of the pull from the wandering planet.

Some warships did it, but more warships didn't, especially those heavy and large ships. Most of the small warships that turned successfully were located in the front row, so most of them were smashed head-on by the large warships that failed to turn around, like two pieces of earth that collided together, splashing countless steel fragments and bringing explosions. With flames, contorts, flips, and falls with speed.

The flames of the tail propellers of the small ships that were not hit soared, and they flew forward for a certain distance, and some even avoided several large ships flying in the face. powerful.

It was nothing more than a dying struggle, the burst of engine thrust far outpaced the increase in gravitational pull from below, so they first flew, then ran, then crawled, and finally turned backwards. Some propulsion systems malfunctioned, exploded with a bang, and were attracted by the continuous suction, becoming a member of the wreckage flow, spinning away?

The bridge area of ​​most of the remaining battleships of the Phantom Fleet was full of ghosts and wolves, "Save us... who will save us...God, please have mercy on your children and help them escape the sea of ​​suffering...I want to live, I don't want to die... woo woo woo woo……"

They survived the battle with the 53rd Fleet, they survived the battle with the ships of the Angel of Thrones, they survived the asteroid storm that engulfed the space around the rogue planet. Unfortunately, this time they did not survive.

After all, the Hydra Legion is the elite force of the empire. Even in the face of the incomprehensible situation in front of them, they did not cry like the soldiers of the local lord's fleet. They were full of nostalgia for life and sunshine, so they were unwilling, resentful, sad, and even Pee your pants.

Before the bridge exploded, they shouted "For glory!" When the two ships collided, they shouted "Long live the Emperor!" When the gunpowder burned their bodies, they used their will to overcome the pain and shouted hysterically, "Xu Della mighty, Monya will win!"

On the bridge of the Gravedigger, Woolf Keith touched the long and narrow scar extending from the corner of his right eye to his lip with his hand, and the mechanical arm of his left hand hit the combat command platform, splitting the touch panel in half.

The flagship of the Sons of War, the Apophis, is a semi-relic warship, and the Gravedigger is also a semi-relic warship. Possesses a powerful communication jamming capability, which can improve one's own advantage in disguise by weakening the command ability of the enemy fleet. It is conceivable how precious it is and how high its status is in the Hydra Legion. However, no matter how powerful it is, no matter how strong its auxiliary ability is, it will become useless in the face of that monster that can devour everything.

Since the discovery of the wandering planet, Belek and Rockefeller reported the situation here to Halifax, and then a Captain Tang was killed halfway, and started a fight with the Phantom and the Golden Ring Fleet. In order to be able to capture this strange planet with great scientific research value, and defeat Tang Fang at the same time. 13 His Royal Highness not only dispatched one part of the Hydra Legion to guard him and the Ptolemaic space station, but also dispatched one from the front line to form a joint fleet consisting of more than 2,500 warships.

The Gravedigger came to deal with the Angel, but unfortunately Halifax did not expect the Phantom Fleet and the Golden Ring Fleet to encounter an asteroid storm, and the two thousand-ship regular fleets only survived with more than 100 ships. Of course, because of the existence of the ruins, he was determined to win the wandering planet, and Tang Fang and others became secondary targets instead.

"Order the ships to activate their weapon systems, target the Ypsilon ruins... free fire!" Woolf Keith gave the attack order with a cold face. He knew that Halifax was very fond of this relic, and he was even more envious of the Ipsilonians inside. He regarded it as the most precious thing in the world, and he wanted to know it quickly.

13 The prince was dazzled by interests, but it doesn't mean he was also dazzled by interests... No matter how much money you have, you have to spend it wisely. Facing the current situation, the first priority is to save the life of His Royal Highness, not to consider the gains and losses of the ruins.

Since the dark monster likes to eat, let it eat as much as it can at one time, let the flames and explosions fill its stomach, as long as the ruins are destroyed, the gravitational storm will naturally disappear.

His facial features, the scars on his face, and the light in his eyes all showed that the deputy commander was a tough and brave general. He is indeed a general with outstanding achievements in countering the rebellion. What's even more rare is that he also has a delicate heart, calm and calm, good at discerning the opponent's weaknesses, and has a quick plan in times of crisis.

Under such an order, those battleships that were attracted by the gravitational storm and fell quickly, like being captured by an invisible demon drilled out of the abyss, and pulled into the boundless darkness responded one after another. Various magnetic rail weapons, missiles, torpedoes, laser cannons, and even nuclear warheads , take a quick battleship step, shooting into the bottomless darkness.

It is frustrating... No, it should be frightening. The projectiles and lasers fired by the magnetic rail weapons are like stones thrown into the quagmire, without any response, and those missiles, torpedoes, and nuclear warheads are dismembered into pieces when they penetrate into a certain range of the sinkhole. Large and small fragments, a few exploded and turned into torches to disperse the darkness ahead, illuminating the road to the underworld.

"How is it possible!" Not only Woolf, but even the bridge staff of the Gravedigger couldn't help exclaiming. (To be continued.)
