From Cannon Fodder to Sweeping Across Thousands of Stars

Chapter 574 Annihilation

After Amber controlled the ‘ATLAS modified’ to break through the siege and directly hit the ‘Lighthouse’, although this super-heavy HCP still had some basic functions online, the plasma propulsion array used for navigation and maneuvering in the universe was still scrapped.

So if Amber wanted to leave now, she definitely couldn’t expect to use the ‘ATLAS modified’ to return to the original route, and could only think of another way quickly.

“Lilith, are there any HCPs left in the hangar of this heavy cruiser?”

“Without the Master, the hangar control terminal shows that all HCPs have been ejected. Some of them joined the main HCP of the Federation to participate in the attack, and the other part was guarding near the battleship, but they were also almost beaten up.”

As Amber shuttled through the passage inside the ship at a very fast speed and quickly moved towards the area where she could leave the battleship, Lilith was also nervously checking whether there were other vehicles that could be used on the battleship.

Although the single-person ship-breaking operation that Amber took her to carry out this time was indeed very exciting, no matter how exciting it was, she had to evacuate safely in the end, so Lilith didn’t dare to neglect it at all.

"Master, can we use a lifeboat?"

"No, the maneuverability is basically zero. We can't survive such a fierce firefight outside. If we are hit, we will evaporate with the boat."

"What about the transport boat?"

"It's also an iron coffin, and the target is even bigger."

Hearing this, Lilith began to panic, because she looked around and found that there were no other vehicles that could be used on this heavy cruiser.

"Damn. If there was a combat boat on this ship, it would be great!" Amber said with some annoyance.

When the combat objectives were formulated before, the initial plan was to evacuate through the 'ATLAS modified', and at worst, to use the HCP on this battleship to leave the ship.

Who would have thought that these two ways would not be used now.

However, people are often forced to do something in difficult situations. Almost in the next second, Amber's mind flashed a bold idea as if it was a blessing.

"Although the enemy has no combat boats, we do, Lilith! Are there any combat boats following me near this heavy cruiser?!"

"Yes, Master!" Lilith quickly realized what Amber wanted to do, and quickly marked more than ten heavy armored combat boats that were relatively close on Amber's command interface.

Seeing this, Amber did not hesitate at all, and quickly shouted in the command channel of the previous coordinated advance:

"Is there anyone brave and skilled nearby? Come and pick me up!"

——

"General! The 'Lighthouse' has lost contact! At the same time, the induction beacon has been re-modified by the relevant authority ten minutes ago!"

On the flagship where Major General Stoner was, an officer on duty told him the bad news anxiously.

"Ten minutes ago? How come we only got the news now?!"

"General, Atlas's information blocking capability is beyond our expectations. The fleet's current communication efficiency is very low, not to mention the warships like the 'Lighthouse' which are located far away. We even need to receive the news through 'relay transmission'"

Hearing the somewhat aggrieved voice of the officer on duty, Major General Stoner also put away the idea of ​​scolding, or after hearing that the guidance beacon was modified, he was already panicking.

If the 'Lighthouse' was sunk or the attack guidance operation was blocked, he would not be so panicked.

"Where is the modified position of the induction beacon?"

The officer on duty shook his head helplessly: "No, I don't know. General, the 'Lighthouse' has now been separated from the tactical network and all signal receiving units have been turned off."

Hearing this, Major General Stoner had already come to a terrible conclusion in his heart, so he issued a new order without any hesitation:

"Order the warships near the 'Lighthouse' to sink it immediately!"

"What?!" The officer on duty widened his eyes after hearing this order, and some couldn't believe what he heard.

"I said, order the warships near the 'Lighthouse' to sink it immediately!"

"Yes, General!" Major General Stoner was like an angry old lion at this moment. This momentum directly made the officer no longer have any doubts. He immediately turned around and left to prepare to issue orders.

After issuing this order, Major General Stoner also slumped in the captain's seat, with his fingers crossed and squeezed tightly.

If someone familiar with him was present, they would know that this navy major general was in extreme tension at this moment.

At this moment, the tactical information coordinator broke out a piece of news that completely plunged him into the abyss.

"Report! Authorized space fluctuations have been detected, which is the jump attack signal of the proton annihilation bomb! But"

"But what?!"

"But the location of the breakaway point is in the central area of ​​the large fleet"

As soon as these words came out, the bridge suddenly fell into silence, and everyone was wondering if they had heard it wrong.

Even the battlefield information coordinator couldn't help but recheck the information on the workbench in front of him several times, and then came to a conclusion that made him despair.

He didn't read it wrong.

It's unknown how long the silence on the bridge lasted, until Major General Stoner suddenly woke up in panic.

"Quick! Pass my order! The entire fleet will disperse immediately!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a blue-white light lit up in the center of the federal fleet formation without warning.

When the light went out again, a nearly 100-meter-long object with a low-visibility paint and a shape resembling some kind of heavy anti-ship missile appeared in this space.

Including the four commanders of the federal navy fleet, the captains of the surrounding warships noticed the abnormality at the first time. They cast their horrified eyes on the terrifying object that suddenly appeared. As commanders and captains of the main battleships, no one did not recognize this thing.

The captain of a battleship widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, and his lips trembled slightly:

"This... How is this possible?"

His voice echoed on the bridge, but it seemed so powerless.

Another captain who reacted shouted frantically into the communicator: "Emergency evasion! The main propulsion array is overloaded!"

But it was too late.

The proton annihilation bomb was like a silent god of death, and it exploded instantly in full view of the public.

A dazzling light burst out instantly, as if a supernova was born in the center of the federal fleet.

The light was so strong that the optical sensors of all warships reached the threshold of light intake in an instant.

Then, the collision between antimatter and matter triggered a violent annihilation reaction, and an unimaginable huge energy spread around at an astonishing speed.

The deflection field and physical armor of the warship were like paper in front of this terrifying force, and they were instantly shattered.

The metal hull was twisted and torn by the powerful annihilation reaction, emitting a silent wail, and flames and arcs spread wildly inside the warship. The crew shouted in fear, but their voices were soon annihilated in endless destruction.

The scope of the annihilation reaction expanded rapidly, and all matter was completely destroyed wherever it went.

The steel giant ships that humans were proud of were like paper toys, turning into powder in an instant, without even a trace of wreckage left.

Most of the warships in the center of the large fleet were completely swallowed up by the power of antimatter before they could even react, and disappeared without a trace.
