Although the Covenant Fleet was the majority in terms of numbers, the Sea Mist Fleet was naturally superior in terms of quality. As a command ship, Iona was not able to break through the fire of three Covenant warships, not to mention these specialized cruisers and battleships.
All of a sudden, gunfire flew everywhere, beams of light crisscrossed through the starry sky, and shot straight at the Star Alliance warships. The Iron Knight carrier-based aircraft flew between the fleets, turning the Star Alliance landing ships that were about to rush into the Sea Fog Fleet for close combat into fireworks.
The Covenant's previous success in battles finally hit a wall in the face of the sea fog. Although the UNSC warships had enough attack power, they were weak and fragile, and they had not even invented a shield in all these years. Therefore, when the Covenant dealt with the UNSC fleet, they basically fired a round of plasma cannons first, and then rushed in to place landing ships. Since the UNSC warships had no shields, they basically had no chance to struggle and were pinned to the ground by the Covenant and stripped naked.
However, the outer barrier of the Sea Fog Fleet alone consists of two layers of shields and Klein force fields, which are basically impossible to break through. Not to mention that unlike human warships, the Sea Fog warships do not need corridors, passages or cabins at all. Almost all places except the command room are filled with various weapons, ammunition, equipment and drones.
This means that even if the Star Alliance landing ship went through great pains to get outside the Sea Mist Battleship, it might not even be able to open a passage after spending a lot of effort...
Under the suppression of the Sea Fog Fleet, the Star Alliance immediately began to lose ground. However, Fang Zheng did not take it lightly. The reason was very simple, that is, there was a great general in the opponent's camp.
At the beginning, the Forerunners' warships didn't take the Sea Mist Fleet seriously at all, and obviously, they sped up and flew towards the research station. It wasn't until the Memory of Nessin appeared that the missionary seemed to feel a little threatened. Fang Zheng saw the other side's warship slowly turn around and aim at the direction of the Memory of Nessin.
The next moment, dozens of orange-red beams burst out and shot out instantly, passing straight through the sea fog fleet and hitting several large warships including the Memory of Nesin.
"Holy Light, grant me strength!"
However, at the same time, accompanied by a light shout, Fang Zheng saw the Eternal-class aircraft carrier Glorious in the rear suddenly burst into dazzling light all over its body, followed by dozens of Iron Cavalry carrier-based aircraft roaring through the fleet. Wherever they passed, all the warships were covered with a huge white shield, and then the energy beam that burst out from the Forerunner warship hit the warship wrapped in the shield.
It had to be admitted that the Forerunners were still superior in terms of attack damage. The shields only lasted for eight seconds before quickly dissipating, and then the shields and Klein force fields of the Sea Mist warships themselves also began to decay rapidly. Fortunately, the Sea Mist fleet still blocked the Forerunners' attack, but most of the warships also had their shields broken, and even some destroyers that were accidentally hit had their armor broken, with damage reaching the structure directly.
However, at this moment, another timid voice sounded.
"Unicorn...will try hard!"
As Unicorn spoke, the carrier-based aircraft in NTD mode passed through the fleet again, and then the Sea Fog warships that were originally severely damaged soon emitted a gentle green light, and the damage on their hulls was repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Fang Zheng was not surprised by this. Although it was true that the Forerunner's technology was very powerful, the Sea Mist AI on his side was not just a core that controlled the battleship. Each mental model had quite unique skills, such as the shield of Glory and the treatment of Unicorn just now.
I can't beat you in science, so are you afraid of my dual cultivation of science and magic? !
However, just because Fang Zheng can accept it doesn't mean others can accept it as well.
"You actually, actually dared to hurt this king!!"
Elizabeth's voice of frustration echoed in the sea fog network. Her memory of Nessin was the largest in size and was the enemy's main target, so she naturally suffered more damage. Although Elizabeth's ship was not seriously damaged by the Klein force field of the sea fog warship itself and the shield of the Protoss, it seemed that this mental model was obviously a proud character, and was very dissatisfied with being hit by the enemy.
"Kneel before the Queen!!"
As Elizabeth spoke, the closed launch port at the front of the Memory of Nessin slowly opened, and a huge dark blue prism crystal emerged from it. At the same time, all the warships blocking Elizabeth's way quickly dodged to both sides.
The prism crystal began to glow gradually, and as if in resonance, the tops of the unfolded petals also flashed blue light. The blue light beams emitted from the prism crystal and the tops of the five huge petals gathered at the launch port in front of the prism crystal - the next moment, it turned into an unmatched torrent of energy and rushed towards the Forerunner battleship.
"What's this?"
The missionary who was operating the warship was also shocked by the sudden torrent of energy, but he did not take the opponent too seriously, because according to the detected values, although the light beam released by the warship was powerful, it was still far inferior to the Forerunner's warship.
The missionary has absolute confidence in the Forerunners' technology. He is not afraid even if the Forerunners come again. How could he be afraid of these civilizations that cannot even reach the second level of technology?
Of course, the missionary would not admit that he was really shocked when the Memory of Nesin appeared, because according to the memories of the Forerunners, he could not imagine that there was any civilization of this form in the Milky Way... Could it be that humans, like their ancestors, have discovered the gift from the pioneers?
But this energy is very strange and does not belong to any known energy. What exactly is it?
Although he was somewhat confused, the missionary did not care. He had already begun to prepare for a counterattack. After the opponent's attack was over, he would immediately activate all the attack systems of the Mantle of the World and completely destroy the fleet, letting them see the power of a true forerunner!
"beep--!!"
However, at this moment, the missionary suddenly heard an alarm coming from the warship. He quickly came to his senses and looked forward. Then the missionary widened his eyes in surprise, because he saw on the screen in front of him that the power of the light beam was increasing exponentially!
If the initial attack was unable to cause damage to the Mantle of the World, now its power is almost enough to break through the Mantle of the World's shield!
What a joke! What kind of power is this? !
Seeing this scene, the missionary was also shocked. He had never seen such a ray attack mode that could increase its power exponentially, and was caught off guard. However, since the missionary was determined to destroy mankind, he naturally had some skills.
"All energy is immediately filled into the energy field, and this ship begins to retreat!"
Soon, under the orders of the missionaries and the cover of the Covenant warships, a huge energy wall suddenly emerged from the periphery of the Mantle of the Immortal, blocking the attack of the Memory of Nesin, while its hull slowly moved to the side, trying to escape from the attack track of the Memory of Nesin.
The attack power of the Memory of Nesin was getting stronger and stronger. Before the Mantle of the World could completely dodge, the azure prism beam suddenly broke through the Mantle of the World's defense and whizzed past its hull. Several flames suddenly burst out from the hull of the Mantle of the World, and the part that was hit by the prism beam instantly decomposed and cracked, creating a small gap.
"snort!"
Seeing that the Mantle had dodged her attack, Elizabeth snorted in dissatisfaction, and then turned off the prism beam - after all, this thing couldn't be used for moving shooting, otherwise she would have smashed the Mantle to pieces with a "whip".
“Not bad, not bad.”
Compared to Elizabeth's dissatisfaction, Fang Zheng seemed very satisfied. According to the introduction in the store exchange, the three Arks of the Protoss each have different functions. The Pride of Otalis specializes in space warfare, the Spear of Adun is mainly for ground attacks and ground deployment, and the Memory of Nesin is specifically used to deal with "knocking on the door".
Yes, it is just like a “battering ram” used to breach the fortress gate.
The attack principle of the Memory of Nessin is the same as that of the Void Radiance Ship. They both bombard the enemy with energy beams generated by the prism core, and the power of this beam will double in a short period of time, and its power has almost no upper limit. This means that if the Memory of Nessin is given enough time, it can even destroy a planet with one shot.
Since this type of light beam cannot be moved and fired, and the "energy storage" time is too long, it is not suitable for air combat. However, it is most suitable for attacking large warships and air fortresses that move slowly, are huge in size, and have strong defenses.
If the missionary had not acted decisively and ordered the Mantle to take evasive action in time, the shot from Elizabeth would have been enough to send him home to get married.
But now...it's almost the same.
Great, it's time to take matters into your own hands.
Seeing that the other side's flagship had stopped moving, Fang Zheng knew that it was time for him to act. He did not expect Elizabeth to kill the Forerunner flagship in one second, but as long as he could contain it, he would have a chance to act. Sure enough, after realizing that the other side's attack was enough to destroy his warship, the missionary immediately became much more cautious and no longer rushed to the space station.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fang Zheng also asked Iona to quickly approach the research station, and then teleported to appear next to the sergeant.
At this moment, the sergeant seemed to be talking to a few people. Fang Zheng's sudden appearance surprised many people. Immediately, several soldiers pointed their guns at Fang Zheng, but Fang Zheng ignored them, just glanced around, and then looked at the sergeant.
"How's it going? Has the evacuation started?"
"Evacuation in progress."
In response to Fang Zheng's question, the sergeant nodded, then he looked forward.
“This is the reassembler.”
"Is this it?"
Fang Zheng also looked forward, and soon he saw a pure white columnar object standing not far in front of him. Judging from its appearance and the patterns on it, it was obviously a creation of the Forerunners.
"Wait, you're the one taking it away?"
At this moment, an old man dressed in researcher's clothes came over and looked at Fang Zheng.
"You can't do this. We've spent a lot of time..."
"I am not here to discuss this with you, ma'am."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng walked over and knocked on the reassembler.
"I'm just informing you of my decision. Well... indeed, it's not a good idea to just take it away. How about this, to commend you, I decided to give you a banner and 500 yuan. What do you think?"
"Why?"
Everyone present was stunned when they heard Fang Zheng's answer, but before they could say anything else, Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and placed it on the reassembler.
"That's all. Goodbye everyone... Sergeant, we'll contact you if you need anything later."
Before he finished speaking, accompanied by a flash of light, Fang Zheng and the reassembler disappeared in front of everyone.
All that was left on the ground was a red banner and... five hundred yuan.
