Chapter 790: The invasion of the alien species
. The Eternal Covenant of Lorenxia is the most important holy object in the human world. It even represents the power of the life in the galaxy to talk to the God.
In the past, after the covenant was used by Isanissa, it was divided into three parts and delivered to the Rose Federation, the Holy White Melody, and the Sigma Mechanical Council for preservation. Each of them has a special seal and defense force, which is not easy to steal or rob.
But the delegation that came to ask for the covenant this time was officially authorized by the Federation. The Rose Federation is the main body of mankind. In a sense, the order of the Federation Center is the will of human civilization, which makes the Holy White Melody unable to resist.
After careful migration, the Eternal Covenant of Lorenxia in the Holy White Melody was placed in the starship and escorted back by the fleet.
Even if it is one-third, even if it is still sealed, even if it has not yet revealed its true power, the movement of this covenant has also brought a slight ripple in the Sea of Aijika, attracting many hidden forces to spy.
'Prin is doing something extremely dangerous. Hasn't she ever considered why so many Sun-level singers in the history of the Federation never thought of taking back the three covenants?'
'That is indeed the key to changing civilization, but it is also a magic box in mythology. Once opened, it is difficult to close.'
'The civil war in Aimuralin caused many inheritances to be lost and many information to be erased. No wonder the younger generation of singers don't understand.'
'Will anyone go to rob it? No force dares to seize the holy relics from the main fleet of the Federation now.'
...
'On the surface, there is indeed no such thing, but Pulin's behavior has broken a certain tacit understanding. In my opinion, the Third Fleet and the Fourth Fleet will reconsider whether to continue to support this singer in ruling.' '
The mission of these two fleets is to protect human civilization from being overthrown, and it is also the most fundamental agreement to maintain the Rose Federation. Pulin's current behavior is undoubtedly shaking the foundation. '
"The Third Fleet is the embodiment of Emuralin's will. Many of their officers have been in the army for generations. Their ancestors are the soldiers and relatives of martyrs who followed Emuralin to participate in the civil war 400 years ago. After the victory of the war that year, Emuralin resettled and compensated the families of the sacrificed soldiers, and most of their descendants rejoined the Third Fleet after they reached adulthood, even if they were doing logistics and maintenance work."
"The Fourth Fleet is the inheritance of Isainessa's will. Even after the purge during the civil war, there are still many people who follow Isainessa's will, and the inherited Golden Flame Flower Organization will also select trustworthy people from them to join the Fourth Fleet."
"The status of these two fleets is special. The decrees of the federal central government have limited binding force on them. In their eyes, even a Sunday-level singer is nothing more than a passing cloud."
"They should not directly participate in the opposition to Pulin, but their neutrality and inaction alone will give others some hope."
"But after nearly 20 years of purges and suppression, as well as huge economic success, are there still forces in the federation that oppose Pulin?"
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤A
fleet is shuttling across the galaxy at high speed. The magnificent outline of the Red Angel-class battleship, with its red and black color scheme, is particularly majestic and solemn. In fact, within the Federation, this is also the most advanced battleship, with no rivals of the same level.
[The superluminal winch thruster has reached the critical value, and the starship is about to exit the superluminal cruise mode and enter the cooling and resting state]
A broadcast came from the channel inside the starship, and then the scenery outside the battleship became clear and stagnant again, indicating that the starship has returned to the low-speed cruise state.
[The rest time is 5 hours, during which the crew can carry out daily activities, please remember to return to the safety cabin before the end]
The lights in the channel inside the starship lit up, and then many people walked out of the closed safety cabin to get some fresh air.
When sailing at superluminal speed, except for a small number of high-level extraordinary people who can withstand the violent tearing of time and space and inertia, most of the crew members have to enter the safety cabin to sleep to avoid injury.
"Huh, we are finally getting to the central star field. After this rest, we will return to the home port next time." Several logistics personnel walked out of the room with their heads resting on their heads.
"It's not that simple. We have holy relics on board. We will probably have to make a troublesome handover after we return. We can't rest for a while." The companion complained.
"Ah, that's really troublesome. I would have asked for leave earlier. I didn't rush to go on this mission. This month is also my turn to rest."
"It's too late to talk about this. Let's go eat something later. The food on the ship is pretty good."
"Let's go. I heard that today we have a T3-level gourmet meal."
"Every time we go on a mission, we will provide a batch of T3-level gourmet food. This expense is not small, but our 'Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star' faction is not short of money."
"Thanks to Lord Pulin, now I can support my family of five by working alone, and we live a very comfortable life."
Two hours later...
In the restaurant, a group of people gathered at the table holding wine glasses. On the table were various exquisite leftovers, soup, bones and residues on the plates, making a mess.
"Hic~ Another glass." The drunk man staggered and raised his glass again and stood up.
"Haha, look at him." The people around laughed, but they were not much better. Many of them had red faces. It was unknown whether they drank too much wine or ate too much exquisite extraordinary food, and their magic power and blood were too full.
"I'll do it~" Another man stood up. He looked a little confused, but he was still mumbling.
Then he raised the bottle to fill himself up and prepared to raise it high.
The golden wine in the glass was about to be raised, but the sudden shaking caused most of the wine to spill out. He looked quite puzzled, but at this time, not only him, but many plates and cups on the table also slipped and fell to the ground, making a rustling sound.
"This is..." He opened his mouth slightly.
Is it an earthquake? But this is inside the battleship, how could there be an earthquake? If it is not an earthquake, there is only one possibility.
The battleship was attacked .
Red alarm lights lit up everywhere inside the starship, and sharp chirping woke up any members who were still resting and sleeping.
[Enemy attack, enter the first level combat state, all crew members please enter the combat position, the dangerous area channel begins to be closed...]
[Enemy attack, enter the first level combat state, all crew members please enter the combat position, the dangerous area channel begins to be closed...]
...
A series of mechanical notification sounds made the crew members in the starship sober up instantly. Many people began to take hangover medicine, and some other high-level extraordinary people directly evaporated and excreted the alcohol.
Soon, the sound of rapid running and air flow sounded in the main channel. It was the small shuttle inside the starship and the combatants wearing exoskeleton armor.
Explosions and vibrations occurred everywhere in the starship. Some crew members hiding in the lounge squatted in the small room carefully and nervously, praying that this accident would end quickly.
Most of the crew members did not know what happened, but they kept hearing the curses and screams from the public channel of the headset during the battle, mixed with the sound of dense bullets.
"...Damn alien species!" Finally, one of the sentences was heard by the hiding personnel.
Alien species? Many people did not understand this unfamiliar word, but those who carefully hid in the restaurant soon knew the origin of this word.
Like a blue-purple nebula light sand flashed by, a figure with strange butterfly wings on her back suddenly appeared here. She was covered with a thin and tough silver metal armor, covering her graceful figure, but the focus was not here. This strange figure's eyes instantly swept across the scene and found that there were many low-level passengers hiding here.
"Heh." A slightly cold sneer, and then the light in her eyes flowed, and the colorful light in it changed like a kaleidoscope.
This pair of strange and charming eyes swept across the whole scene, and all the passengers who saw it instantly became dull, as if their spirits were absorbed and lost by an invisible vortex.
More than ten seconds later, they fell to the ground one by one, died with an inexplicable smile on their faces, and there was no sign of breathing.
The built-in surveillance camera in the restaurant faithfully recorded this scene, and then many fighters came and began to fight with this special "alien".
In the fierce fire, bullets swept through densely, but this strange figure flashed several times in the restaurant, avoiding the storm of metal bullets, and then appeared in front of the combatants in an instant. The silver-purple long sword in her hand slashed coldly, cutting these combatants into smooth and smooth surfaces, causing them to fall in a pool of blood.
After the strange figure dealt with the combatants in the restaurant, it continued to flash and move in the space inside the starship to search. Her target must be the sacred object "Loranxia's Eternal Covenant" that was protected by layers.
On the central control AI screen inside the starship, the identity information of this group of raiders began to be listed, and the current position of each one was marked in the 3D rendering of the starship.
[Unknown Enemy]
Identity: New Race - Illusion Eye Species
Extraordinary Occupation: Natural Sequence 7·? ? ?
Important features: spatial flickering displacement, pupil technique, mental erosion, high-wave cutting blade, Poinna metal armor (anti-laser)
Danger level: extremely dangerous (red), non-sequence 6 combatants must avoid direct confrontation
Response methods: high-speed autonomous combat unit (level 6 and above), micro-machine combat armor, starship internal defense system, elite combat members (level 6 and above)
A remote passage in the starship At this time, the white indicator light kept flashing, and then the closed hatches on both sides of the passage were all opened, revealing the silver combat units that exuded a cold breath.
They have a strange appearance, with multiple legs similar to spiders and sharp sickle blades similar to mantises. There are two rows of about 12 round holes of different sizes on the head as observers, which are constantly opening and closing, scanning everything around, like the eyes of a spider.
After these combat units are activated, they will quickly run to various places in the starship according to the command of the central master control AI. The seemingly redundant eight legs can be extremely conveniently used to borrow power in various channels of the starship, making it extremely light and sensitive to move, and the whole body is like an afterimage.
Since these phantom species invaded the starship, they have been flashing all the way, shuttling around in the starship, killing the crew members they saw along the way. Occasionally, when they encounter an opponent that is difficult to deal with, they will not get entangled, but quickly pass by and look for the next target.
Facing such an enemy, the defense forces in the starship were exhausted for a while, and various loopholes appeared. After all, fighting with the new race was a long time ago, and this generation of soldiers did not have enough experience.
Fortunately, the central database in the Federation still retains the information of that year. Those combat units that are not afraid of illusions and mental corrosion and have high-speed reaction capabilities are the antidotes specifically targeted.
In a passage, the phantom species that flashed again seemed to have predicted the landing point. As soon as she came out, two silver cold fronts rushed over and directly cut her strange butterfly wings. As if they were cut by sharp scissors, the two butterfly wings fell. In addition to flying, such butterfly wings are also the source of the ability of the phantom species to flash in space.
The pain stimulated the consciousness of this Phantom Eye. She looked at her enemy with a cold gaze. Her eyes flashed with a revolving lantern of light again, like a changing kaleidoscope.
Unfortunately, her opponent was a cold machine, and was not susceptible to mental erosion. After cutting off her wings, it turned around again and rushed with a sharp blade.
The sound of fragmented and dense collisions rang out in this passage. The two sides went back and forth for only a few seconds, but it seemed like a war. Many holes were cut in the silver metal armor on the woman's body, and the silver mechanical unit opposite her was not doing well either. Several limbs were cut off, and the movement was no longer swift. Several holes were cut in the observation hole of the head, exposing the electronic components inside.
The two sides fought again. This time, the silver mechanical combat unit was torn and destroyed, turning into a wreckage with sparks. After all, this Phantom Eye was a high-level elite of Sequence 7, and it was not something that a sixth-level combat unit could solve alone. Its sacrifice also bought enough time. When this Phantom Eye was about to stop bleeding and heal itself, pairs of blood-red eyes emerged from the darkness on both sides of the passage.
The sharp blades slashed across the ground quickly. They rushed out from the shadows, revealing their silver metal structures. These gathered sixth-order combat units began to put great pressure on the illusion species, especially after she lost the means of rapid flashing and transfer.
The battle broke out again in this passage. One after another, the silver combat units continued to press the activity space of the illusion species. The high-voltage currents flowing on their bodies were connected to each other, interfering with the activities of the illusion species through the currents, and then using their sharp forefeet to cut and attack. Whenever they were attacked by the silver swords in the hands of the illusion species, complex circuit patterns flashed on the metal shells, instantly strengthening the structure, making it difficult for the sword blades to cut.
Fierce and cruel battles took place again in this narrow space, and the sound of silver sparks colliding kept flashing.
…
A minute later, the bloody silver combat units left the passage and rushed to the next location, while the passage behind them had returned to silence at this moment, and only broken debris and corpses could be seen.
Similar battles took place in various places on the starship, and not every time they could just cut off the strange spatial flickering ability of the illusion species. Many silver knife spiders failed to kill these invading enemies in their siege, and they moved and passed through more and more space, gradually approaching the "holy object" placed in the core area of the starship.
[Activate the Silbi defense system, the core area space will be cut off after 120 seconds]
White probes extended from the inner wall of the starship, and began to condense fine high-energy halos on them. Once the countdown ends, these high-energy halos will spread and connect to each other, blocking the space in the center of the starship and hindering the use of any space-based abilities.
In the core hall guarding the holy object, rows of small mechas gathered at this moment, ready to fight, and suspended autonomous units were everywhere, monitoring the surrounding environment.
