"yes!"
The crew members who received the order began to execute it. Soon, a communications officer turned to look at the porthole and reported loudly:
"Sir, your holographic image has been released to the public channel!"
Hearing this, Leon nodded lightly, and then continued to stand looking down, remaining silent without words.
It wasn't until he saw two squadrons composed of Viking fighters and Longsword bombers passing the bridge at close range on the right side of the ship, appearing in his field of vision, and quickly approaching the Titanium mother planet, that Leon used cold, In a ruthless tone, he said:
"I am the third son of the Lord of Humanity, Leon. I don't care what purpose or intention you have in invading our training planet. However, no matter what, congratulations on your success in attracting my attention and my father's attention.
Today, in return, I will give you a sincere gift, a gift that will make your home planet "revitalized" again. Please be sure to accept it. "
At this time, all the battleships and ground cities in Titanium can see Leon's holographic projection and the "gift" that Leon mentioned.
As for whether they could understand it, Leon didn't care much. He just made habitual announcements when deciding the survival of a planet with life and intelligent races.
Remember http://m in one second. et
Outside the bridge.
The Titanium Fleet, unable to understand human language, continuously launched salvos of artillery fire at human warships such as the Hymn of Courage, trying to annihilate the "hateful invaders" who raided their home planet.
It's a pity that no matter how many there are and how hard they fight, they can't penetrate the human shield in a short time.
On the other hand, after the Dark Angel Legion completely drove out of the fault space, they relied on their shields and ignored the attack. They first opened the distance between the battleships and formed an inverted "V" formation suitable for firing together.
Immediately afterwards…
ri～-——!
The front end of the ship's hull shines with a bright blue energy-charged light.
Phew~——!
The straight blue light trajectory immediately cut through the space, penetrated all the Titanium battleships along the way, and broke through the atmosphere unimpeded, allowing the 15, 25, 35, and even the 50-ton tungsten ferroalloy projectiles of the main gun of the Praise of Courage to shoot out at unimaginable speeds. "Smashed" on the earth of Tipu's home planet.
Boom--Boom--Boom! ! !
Mushroom clouds composed of soil, debris and smoke, and of different sizes and sizes are generated almost simultaneously. Even in low-Earth orbit or in the space beyond, such a spectacular scene can be clearly seen.
Although there was a gap of more than ten times between the two sides, the battle situation was still one-sided, and the Titanium Empire was crushed by humans in all directions.
For example, the main gun salvo just now destroyed and paralyzed nearly thirty warships of various types in an instant, once again making the Tipu commanders doubt their "human" lives.
"Good" is when the electromagnetic main gun fires a volley, and the godless body releases the "◇" diamond-shaped giant net, which instantly swallows and squeezes the battleship group. Otherwise, their racial advantages will be exerted on the spot -——
escape!
The confrontation between the two sides provided excellent cover for the two bombing squadrons with extremely small targets. They quickly left the fighting area and headed to the north and south poles of the Titanium Pu mother planet.
During this period, many enemy planes noticed these two bombing squadrons, but they were all eliminated by the Vikings who were responsible for escorting them.
In addition, the Vikings and Longswords were too small, so the entire defense force of Taipu was focused on dealing with the Dark Angel fleet, and had no time to take care of these two bombing squadrons.
Besides…
How capable can a mere carrier-based aircraft squadron be?
…
The Titanium mother star is on the equatorial surface in the middle of the night.
On the endless desert plain lies the capital of Titanium, which is large in scale and similar to human urban areas in terms of architectural style and layout.
At this moment, people in the capital are panicking.
In the central area of the capital, there is a huge palace with a strong ancient style.
The top floor of the parliament hall.
The wooden floors here are neat and clean, and can achieve a certain mirror reflection effect even under lighting.
At the same time, there were dozens of Tipu people kneeling on cushions with old faces and wrinkled skin.
On the other hand, the Taipu man kneeling on the main seat was quite young, but his expression, eyes, and unstoppable trembling body all showed that he was now in extreme fear.
Human beings who are afraid of the "unknown".
Through the gorgeous clothes and the sword on his waist, it is not difficult to guess that the old and serious Tipu man should be the minister of the Tipu Empire, while the young and confused man is the emperor of the Tipu Empire.
It may be that he inherited the throne in accordance with due procedures, or he may be a puppet controlled by many ministers, but at this time, no matter what estrangement or hatred there was between the monarch and his ministers, it disappeared because they provoked humans.
Because this is the time when their empire's survival is at stake.
Fierce arguments broke out in the hall, with high-pitched voices speaking alien and human languages to analyze the situation and speculate on what the "gift" declaration that Leon conveyed to the public channel meant.
Of course, there are only two topics of debate from beginning to end, fight to the end, or surrender and admit defeat.
The result is obvious. After their most proud cosmic fortress was destroyed by the Hymn of Courage, the capitulation faction occupied the absolute upper hand.
But this young emperor was very troubled. As soon as he ascended the throne, he faced the threat of green-skinned orcs, and then ushered in a comprehensive crushing counterattack by humans.
What a coward...
I can't vent my anger, but there is nothing I can do.
In the end, the emperor sighed heavily and seemed to be ready to adopt the capitulation faction's suggestion and take the initiative to negotiate with Leon to discuss an armistice agreement of "peaceful coexistence".
However…
"boom--!!!"
There were no warnings or warnings, and the impact was devastating, making all decisions empty talk.
Emperor Tipu and his ministers only remembered the forced and extremely humiliating decision to surrender before everything turned dark, and the mentality of revenge that lurked patiently, waiting to bite humanity hard after humans accepted their decision to surrender.
Leaving the halls and palaces and observing the ground from the sky, you can find that the entire down payment... no, it should be that the entire planet's surface has fallen into a "sea of fire."
To be precise, the earth cracked, and the magma spewed out uncontrollably. The earth and the sky seemed to be connected into one, and it was extremely turbid.
Leaving the atmosphere of Titanium's parent star and observing in the space where the Hymn of Courage is located, you can clearly see the giant mushroom clouds rising from the north and south poles into the sky.
The surface of the earth has been "washed" by shock waves and earth fission, and hundreds of millions of Taipu people have died from the shock wave far exceeding the speed of sound before they were aware of the danger.
Ignorance is painless, this is what Leon calls the "gift".
The two bombing squadrons that took the initiative to break away from the battle at the beginning of the war carried one of the weapons specially designed to execute the "Extermination Order", the Nova III nuclear bomb.
This nuclear bomb, which is pronounced and spelled the same as Nova, consists of a lithium triterpene shell and fourteen 60-million-ton TNT-equivalent Havoc IV nuclear bombs inside the shell.
Once detonated, it is not as simple as 14x60 million = 840 million tons of TNT equivalent. Its lithium triterpene shell will cause the explosion process to be "instantly compressed" and then released extremely quickly, increasing the power exponentially.
As for the mission that the bombing squadron has to perform, it is very simple, that is, to drop a Nova III nuclear bomb at the South Pole and North Pole of the Titanium mother planet to implement the "surface zero" extinction effect.
The Anthem of Courage has six more, but there is no need to throw them all. In fact, one can make Earth-like planets unsuitable for incubation and life for ten thousand years.
However, in order to give the Titanium Pu Empire and even the "audience" of various forces who are paying attention to this expedition a perfect performance, two stars are enough.
In low Earth orbit.
The fierce confrontation fell into a period of "silence" as the Titanium mother planet turned into a primitive "fireball".
The Titanium Fleet did not expect that humans actually possess "one-click zero" extermination weapons, and their morale collapsed.
If a human fleet saw the destruction of the earth "at close range", it would also collapse, but with human temperament, it would be more likely to die together. Asta even wanted to join the gang alone and tear apart all the enemies in sight. .
It is obvious that the Titanium race is not human.
Although they were devastated by the destruction of their home star, the matter had come to this, and they could not escape... no! Preserving strength is the highest priority and the wisest choice!
So faced with the Courage Anthem and the other twenty-six Dark Angel warships, which were unable to break through the defenses and had extremely fierce firepower, the Titanium Fleet, which was responsible for defending the home star, immediately changed its direction and entered a state similar to the jump navigation, "stretching" into a flat straight line. , disappeared into this space.
However, there were still more than thirty 100-meter-class Titanium battleships that seemed to refuse to execute the evacuation order and charged towards the Dark Angels without hesitation.
See this.
Leon naturally showed absolute respect, ordered the fleet to reorganize, and fired another salvo of main and secondary guns.
The straight blue light trajectory and the huge elliptical cannon shot across the space immediately, "sinking" the last thirty or so Titanium battleships.
Either the hull was penetrated by tungsten iron projectiles, or it was blown up by a plasma cannon, or the engine lost power, and the hull was "pulled" by the gravitational mother star to the magma-filled surface.
Inside the bridge of the Hymn of Courage.
Leon, who stood behind the porthole and witnessed everything and personally issued the order of extermination, had a cold face from beginning to end.
Sympathy, pity?
Leon, who is already one hundred and twenty-six years old, has long lost the confusion of his youth. For his father and for mankind, it is no longer a slogan for him to use as a war cry.
Treating enemies, especially enemies of different races, with sympathy and pity is an extremely irresponsible and extremely naive expression of one's compatriots.
Not every race is as focused on promises and straightforwardness as the elites and iron-blooded ones.
Even the Marr people who had taken refuge with their entire clan, and the "Elven Queen" Erinmir, were "willingly" made human vassals because of Sui Bian.
Profit and racial survival come first.
If there was no protection provided by Sui Bian, or in other words, without Sui Bian's human race, it would not be worth it for Eileen Mir to lead her people to seek refuge.
Once Sui Bian suddenly "disappeared", even if ten Primarchs and hundreds of thousands of Astartes were stationed, the Marrs had no confidence that humans could resist the counterattack from another space.
There was a moment of silence.
The last enemy ship is confirmed to have fallen.
Leon turned away from the porthole and walked to the center console to watch the battle situation in the entire star field.
Currently, about 75% of all the remaining colonies in the Titanium Empire are being attacked and occupied by the expeditionary force. Of these 75%, half of the Titanium side has lost orbital control and has to engage in ground combat with humans.
Since the remaining 25% of the expeditionary force are still jumping and sailing in the fault space at this moment, they are temporarily protected from human "visits".
In this comparison, Leon is the fastest efficient.
However, the goal of this expedition is to allow mankind to take the opportunity to fully establish a foothold in this star field. Robert will certainly not abuse extermination weapons.
But under Robert's instructions, only the Titanium mother planet received "special care", so Leon threw two Nova III nuclear bombs to the Titanium mother planet, which accelerated the end of the war.
Observe a little.
Leon said: "Inform the Warmaster that we have completed the initial goal and are ready to rush to the 045 system to provide support."
"Yes, sir."
The crew members who received the instructions reported to Robert, who was also in the fault space, and then made preparations to rush to the 045 system, which they temporarily named by the number.

…
Shortly after.
Navigating through a fault tunnel with beautiful, bright water walls and a length of nearly 20 kilometers, the Dawn Guardian is approaching the "light point" at the end of the tunnel at extremely fast speeds.
Soon, the "light spot" became larger and larger, until the entire exit of the vortex was clearly visible. At the same time, the Dawn Guardian had passed through and returned to the physical universe.
And around the Dawn Guardian, thirty jump exits appeared one after another, sending Zeus, Gorgon, Achilles and other ships of all levels belonging to the Ultramarine Legion out of the fault space.
All exits dissipate.
The fleet reorganized its formation.
And a planet covered with forests and lakes, and one of "her" satellites appeared in front of us.
The strange thing is that although the surface of the satellite, which is "only" about a hundred kilometers in diameter, is as desolate and bare as the moon, if you look closely, you can find that its surface seems to be made of different types and sizes. Metal plates are randomly and haphazardly spliced together, and there are also a large number of buildings protruding from the surface.
At first glance, I thought it was a "fake" shield world created by humans.
However, no matter how you look at this satellite, it looks like a "man-made" mothership made of scrap metal stacked together and ready to fall apart at any time, but it can defy common sense and maintain a stable structure.
In addition to this mothership, within the gravitational range of the planet and in the low-Earth orbit, there are also battleship groups of different specifications, different appearances, or simply not looking like battleships.
Some of them look the same as the pirate ships of the 18th and 19th centuries.
The crystal debris and fragments floating in the orbit, as well as the surface filled with smoke and fire, all indicate that before the Ultramarines arrived here, unimaginable fierce battles broke out.
The result of the fierce battle was that the defenses in the planet's orbit were completely destroyed by such a bizarre group of "ragged" battleships.
The war extended to the ground. No matter how brave the planet residents were, "they" lacked the support of friendly forces. The moment they lost orbital control, they were destined to defeat and fall.
Inside the bridge guarded by dawn.
Robert, who was staring at the mothership in the distance, could not help but frown and mutter to himself: "Battle Moon..."
