Chapter 1599 Reckless

Millions or even tens of millions - when the size of the nest is large enough and the production line enters the cycle, the number of drone swarms is no longer an irrelevant issue. Their proliferation rate will even exceed the loss rate of a large-scale battle. When the fleet begins to jump, there may only be a few million drones in the team, but by the time they reach the end, the fleet that has been continuously replenished from various nests has expanded this number to a whole zero.

Therefore, there is only one accurate word to describe a large-scale drone swarm at any time: countless.

Countless drones entered the jump state. The waves emitted when the jump engine started made the entire space fluctuate violently like an ocean in a storm. The starlight swayed and twisted into groups, and cracks opened in the universe. This one The huge legions operated simultaneously under the control of one command, swooping towards the clear and unmistakable coordinate point, and welcoming their mission with a carnival-like attitude...

"This is the first time I've seen someone who can use F2A in such an epic way," the data terminal's voice was full of despair. In order to express its mood, it even activated its "Patian" form for the first time in a long time. The girl with long straight golden hair and cerebral thrombosis was lying on the console next to her with a look of despair on her face, "My partner, you only pressed two buttons in total, can you not show off the aura that makes you scold Fang Qiu on the battlefield?"

Hao Ren rolled his eyes at Patian: "Don't underestimate these two steps of operation, timing is very important, okay! And I am a policeman, where do you want me to learn the skills to command battles - drones I know how to fight, I just need to do my best!"

After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to play with the battle module in front of him, F2 then A, F2 then A... Because there was always a steady stream of drones coming off the production line, and even rushing to the front line from the distant space beyond the X star cluster to support operations, So he is quite busy...

"As expected, it's better to set it back to full automatic. Manual F2 is quite tiring," Hao Ren spread his hands, "I'll just be responsible for A..."

Patian returned to the terminal form with a bang, and slapped Hao Ren on the face: "You still can't operate your uncle's two buttons! Who was so excited to mess with such a battle module before!"

In the end, Vivian couldn't stand it anymore: "Can you two be more serious? We are preparing to go to the front line anyway."

"You have to find a way to relieve the pressure before the war." Hao Ren saw that Vivian was indeed a little serious, so he had to wave his hands and explain, "After all, this is the first time to participate in a war of this scale."

Even though he looks as stable as Lily on the surface, in fact he is already panicking like Lily in his heart (nothing wrong with him).

At this time, Nolan suddenly jumped out: "Boss, there is a battle report from the hub direction. The Guardian Legion has been in full contact with the Corruptors, and the drone swarm will arrive on the battlefield in forty-five minutes. Can we leave too?" ?”

Hao Ren raised his head and glanced at the report form showing the situation in each war zone: At the location of the base group, the drone units left behind had already exchanged fire with the enemy, and the corrupted legions were still rushing into the blockade, even if the "hub" The war has begun and they have no intention of retreating - everything is as planned. The decline shown by Salaman's Guardian Legion in the long war has made those crazy minions make rash judgments. They think that the Guardians There is no need to worry. They still have a huge advantage in fighting on two fronts, and the weakening of the base group's defensive strength has given them a huge encouragement. They are determined to pull out this sudden nail this time.

"Let's go too."

Accompanied by the distortion of light caused by the space jump, the Giant Turtle Platform, the Nakdar Fortress, and the second combat echelon composed of millions of armed drones disappeared into the vast space.

The "hub" galaxy, above the Guardian's position.

The fierce battle has lasted for dozens of minutes. After the battlefield shields of both warring parties were consumed to the threshold, a large number of debris fragments began to be generated and accumulated in space. Salaman stood on the bridge of the flagship "El". on the battlefield, paying attention to the progress of the battle through countless holographic images and his own telepathy.

The "hub" covered with a crystal-like barrier was left far behind. Even if you looked back, you could only see a bright ball smaller than a table tennis ball. Aguda's majestic figure stood on the edge of the battlefield. The huge starship hovered like a behemoth dormant in the darkness, constantly providing artillery support to the Guardian Legion with various ultra-long-range weapons built on the surface. The mighty black starship shuttles across the battlefield, constantly throwing heavy annihilation bombs and scorching high-energy beams at those twisted monsters - how long has it been since this scene appeared?

Since Nakdal was destroyed and Agudal was severely damaged and lost power in that battle, the Guardian Legion's defense lines have been shrinking repeatedly. The numerical disadvantage and the enemy's pollution ability have left Salaman and his army in dire straits. In the long war of three thousand years, the Guardians took the initiative only a handful of times - and they were only limited to the early few hundred years. After that, the Guardian Legion, which failed to regain the lost ground and failed to break through the blockade, could only Being able to huddle in a small area of ​​​​a few astronomical units around the hub can be said to be resisting, but it seems to be just hanging on.

Until today, the Guardian Legion finally took the initiative to advance the front again.

Salaman himself was also thinking about whether this was a blind adventure - the "observer" who suddenly appeared and his drone army were completely unfamiliar, and the guardian giant had never heard of this universe. There is such a force in the world. It is impossible for any race with extraordinary talents to suddenly develop to such a powerful level in the short ten thousand years since my mother left. Therefore, the observers and drones are most likely to be From outside the world, at least from outside the known world.

The concept of "outside the world" is not unfamiliar to the Guardians. Although they have not been able to confirm the existence of the world barrier and have not found a way to cross the world, various data models and certain things done by the Creation Goddess Experiments have confirmed the existence of "world limits" and "rules outside the world", so Salaman can make bold enough guesses about the observer who suddenly appeared.

So can such a force that most likely comes from outside the known world be trusted?

In any case, in order to cooperate with this mysterious observer, the Guardian Legion has proactively pushed the front line forward. The scale and method of advancement were decisions made by Salaman and a group of think tanks after carefully weighing the risks. Faced with a possible opportunity, the Guardians can't do nothing, but they can't put all their belongings on it: if those drones really come to help, then this advancing front will become the Guardian's counterattack The springboard, if those drones do not come, then the legion will have ample opportunity to retreat back to the hub defense circle.

Salaman shook his head and shook the useless thoughts out of his mind: after making the decision to attack, there is no point in thinking back or regretting anything. This is not what a qualified commander should do.

He looked at the tactical map on the holographic projection. The battle line had reached a stalemate, and this stalemate would not last long: the Guardians were unable to maintain such a battle line. Their ability to launch this raid even relied on the Corruptors to separate. A wave of armies went to attack the "nests" of those drones, but even so, the combat power of the Corruptors from Amantir was still far greater than that of the Guardian Giants.

The Guardian's Agudal Fortress is sitting on the edge of the battlefield, and the Corruptor's Amentir is also there. It is suspended at the end of the battlefield. The dark star shrouded in an ominous dark red light is like an eyeball full of malice. Watching Agudal's every move, even though its doomsday weapon has been damaged and cannot be activated, as a planetary fortress, its other firepower is still enough to deal with Agudal, who is also in a semi-disabled state.

The two planetary fortresses confront each other, and the comparison in strength of the conventional armies is clear at a glance. Under this situation, the Guardian Legion will soon be exhausted.

“When are those drones going to show up?”

The young adjutant asked somewhat uncomfortably.

Salaman's voice was still calm: "Don't panic, there is still a little while before the appointed time."

"I hope those things show up soon," said the adjutant, "otherwise this will be a pointless sortie."

For many races that have just become citizens of the universe and are still in a "low-speed civilization", a space battle is long. The huge battlefield and slow weapons and equipment mean that each firefight may last for more than several days. However, for those who have entered super In the speed of light era, a race of demigods with near-regular power could decide the outcome of the entire war in just a few dozen minutes - the Guardian Giant and the Corruptor knew each other's ins and outs, and this was even more so when the battle lines were close.

The Guardians have shown signs of decline across the board.

But before the adjutant reported the worse news, Salaman suddenly looked up in a certain direction in the universe with a feeling.

There was a silvery white light flashing there.

Reports from all areas of the battle line instantly converged on the bridge of the flagship——

"A very large-scale space distortion was observed! It is a very large-scale, unprecedented large-scale!"

"UAVs are entering the battlefield from the KS35-26 area, their number...cannot be judged!"

“Drones have also been spotted in other areas!”

"There are drones here too, and they circled directly behind those freaks!"

"It's no longer possible to visually observe the Corruptors here, drones, all the drones are in the field of vision!"

Salaman raised his head blankly, looking at the space scene directly transmitted back through the external viewfinder.

He saw ripples in the entire universe, and the silvery white waves were not coming from any specific direction, but surging in all directions at the same time.

He inexplicably remembered the words the "observer" sent during his last contact:

"As for tactics, you don't have to worry about this. The tactics of the drone swarm are just reckless. With my operation, don't you just frame A and go over?" "Everyone jump in and masturbate. I will direct you like this. Throw a thousand first." Thousands of armed drones are going in to fool you. If you can’t kill them, throw in another 10 million..." "You can crush them to death. What tactics do you want? What tactics do you want? Just consolidate your front line. There is no need to fight with the drones." Man-machine team cooperation - you can't cooperate with this thing." "Let me tell you, I am a professional conductor, you have to believe me, how can a professional conductor be wrong..."

The man who called himself the "Observer" gradually became blurry in Salaman's mind. The other person's face seemed to merge with the silvery white waves in space, but those incredible remarks gradually became clear, and the initial doubts and worries At this moment, everything disappeared. Salaman finally understood what those unreliable statements meant. He now only had one thought: So that's it.

"Drones! There are drones everywhere! They have occupied more than 90% of the sky!"

The adjutant’s voice sounded so far away that it seemed like it was in the horizon…
