Chapter 143 Attack From the Ground
"Captain Holly, there is news from the "King". An enemy is taking off and preparing for close-in defense operations."
Sitting upright in the captain's chair, Holly's face turned serious.
The sky where the incident occurred was covered with thick clouds, so the fleet could not know the situation on the ground.
They could only get some information sporadically from the reports of the exploration team.
Hearing this, Holly said in a serious voice: "Send a message to all ships. The enemy is about to attack. The close-in defense system is in place and ready to attack!"
With Holly's order, the close-in defense automatic guns of each ship slightly turned their muzzles and aimed at one side of the planet.
"It's the King, the King has appeared..."
With a cry in the bridge, Holly looked at the starry sky outside the window.
On the surface of the planet on one side of the fleet, a golden light rose up, broke through the atmosphere, and entered orbit.
"The incoming target is found, an unknown large blue demon creature with energy attack capabilities, and the threat level is high!"
The blue light flashed, and a holographic picture appeared in front of Holly.
The picture shows the target captured by the optical device.
In the atmosphere, more than a hundred large humanoid creatures are breaking through the atmosphere with their bodies.
They are extremely fast, and long blue tail flames are sprayed from behind them.
"Biological weapons?"
Looking at the incoming target in the picture, Holly's eyes flashed with surprise.
At this time, outside, in the atmosphere of "Terra Star".
More than a hundred big blue demons rushed into the sky like rockets, broke through the constraints of gravity, and entered the low-Earth orbit.
"Swish..."
As soon as they entered, they crashed into the planetary shield.
The huge impact force broke their bodies into pieces and turned them into a mass of meat paste.
"Huh..."
This scene made Li Meng, who was staying in orbit, look stunned.
He never expected that the big blue demon would be blocked by the planetary shield.
He always thought that the planetary shield was to protect the outside but not the inside.
This is indeed the case. Although entering the planet requires volume requirements and slow speed.
But when leaving the planet, no matter how fast it is, it will not be stopped by the planetary shield.
Could it be...
Looking at the planetary shield shining with bursts of fire-colored halos, Li Meng's face showed a thoughtful expression.
Li Meng thought of a possibility.
Could it be that the existence of the planetary shield is not only to defend against asteroids, but also to trap things inside the planet.
For example, the blue devil...
Will it be like this?
Li Meng didn't know, but it was very likely.
Otherwise, it couldn't explain why the planetary shield only stopped the blue devil and had no reaction to other things.
Li Meng remembered that Donald said that the planetary shield of "Terra" was composed of a kind of nanorobots in parallel.
Maybe those nanorobots have a certain intelligence and recognition ability.
Li Meng had a hunch that the planet in front of him was extraordinary and hidden some secrets.
Not all the big blue devils hit the shield.
Only more than a dozen big blue devils flying in the front hit the shield, and the other big blue devils turned and stopped in time.
This action is enough to show that the big blue devils have a certain wisdom.
Otherwise, they would not stop to avoid, but would crash into the shield all at once.
They seemed to know the existence of the shield, but they could not know the exact location of the shield.
They did not attack the shield in vain, but turned away.
The big blue demon that broke into the atmosphere was covered with flames and turned into big fireballs that swept across the sky.
However, at this moment, something strange happened.
I saw the blue light shining in the clouds on the surface of the planet.
The next moment, the clouds were disturbed and dispersed, and thirteen thick blue light columns shot up into the sky.
Its speed was so fast that it broke through the atmosphere in the blink of an eye and hit the shield.
The diameter of the light column exceeded 50 meters and was continuous, causing the shield to flash.
As the clouds were dispersed by the light column, the earth was in full view.
On the other side of the light column was the wasteland where the stone mountain was located.
Compared with before, there were thirteen more huge turrets on the wasteland.
Its shape was similar to a bucket, with a thick base.
The overall color was blue-black, and it was covered with blue light sources.
Thirteen turrets were arranged in a ring formation.
Thirteen huge blue beams of light shot straight into the sky and connected to the planetary shield.
"Are they attacking the planetary shield?"
Li Meng saw this scene.
He saw the blue beams of light that dispersed the clouds, and saw the shining planetary shield.
Did the exploration team wake them up?
In the past, before the Empire arrived, "Terra" was very quiet.
In the past six months, in addition to discovering some native creatures on "Terra", no blue demons were found.
Today, the Empire discovered the stone mountain and found traces of blue demons.
Seeing this, Li Meng frowned slightly.
Although he didn't know how strong the shield was.
But if the blue beams continue to attack, the planetary shield will be breached no matter how strong it is.
Thinking of this, Li Meng moved his mind and used psychic communication to contact the astropath on the fleet flagship.
In the bridge of the flagship of the "Firestorm-class" escort ship, the astropath's figure flashed.
"There is an order from the "King" to immediately transport torpedoes into the shield and launch an orbital strike on the location of the stone mountain."
Sitting upright in the captain's chair, Holly looked at the planets in the starry sky outside with a serious face.
Something happened...
He saw thirteen blue beams of light rising from the earth and crashing into the planetary shield.
The beams of light were blue, and should be plasma high-temperature jets, a kind of energy ion beam.
If those things on the surface of the planet were allowed to enter the universe, it would be troublesome.
Thinking of this, Holly's face sank.
He said in a deep voice: "Contact Donald, the great sage of science and technology, immediately. We need his help."
The torpedoes on the battleships were stored in the ammunition depot and were not convenient to move.
Because the planetary shield has a speed limit on the aircraft entering and exiting, it is impossible to rely on the launcher on the bow to launch.
They can only transport some high-explosive torpedoes from the arsenal and send them inside the shield.
Then activate the torpedoes, accelerate into the atmosphere with their own power, and attack the target.
Soon, it will take only a few minutes.
In the depths of the dark starry sky, the huge space-time gate stands quietly outside the asteroid group.
Suddenly, the white light curtain ripples.
One after another, the engineering machines pushed the high-explosive torpedoes out of the space-time gate.
One, two, three...
A total of twenty high-explosive torpedoes more than 100 meters long approached the "Terra" star under the push of the engineering machines.
It took more than an hour for the engineering machines that transported the high-explosive torpedoes to enter the planetary orbit.
And the thirteen huge light columns rising from the ground also lasted for more than an hour.
Pushing the high-explosive torpedoes, the engineering machines slowly passed through the planetary shield.
After passing through the planetary shield, the engineering machine quickly released the high-explosive torpedo.
The high-explosive torpedo that passed through the shield slowly moved forward by inertia.
After flying for only a hundred meters, the steady thruster sprayed out a white tail flame.
Driven by powerful power, the high-explosive torpedo suddenly accelerated and entered the atmosphere directly.
A total of five high-explosive torpedoes broke into the atmosphere one after another, turning into large fireballs that swept across the sky.
Looking up at the sky from the ground, you can see a meteor shower falling to the ground.
The clouds had long been dispersed, and the endless forests, wastelands, and stone mountains were in full view.
