Interlaced gunfire flew through space.
Dawn Fortress tilted its body, facing the Reaper's front with its side, and counterattacked while traveling backwards in a clockwise direction. Each salvo of the 24 secondary guns on the side illuminates the horizon. "Boom boom~", "boom boom~", this outdated disco rhythm brings about the destruction of hundreds of battleships every minute.
The Reaper capital ships, which still numbered more than 70,000, evolved into a neat double-row V-shaped formation as beautiful as a sequence in motion!
The V-shaped formation is not symmetrical. On the side close to the Dawn Fortress, there are about 40,000 warships arrayed on the front line. They use a diagonal formation to bombard the fortress in a leisurely manner to weaken the shield of the fortress. They carefully maintained an angle of 45 degrees with the Dawn Fortress, neither deviating nor advancing aggressively - because the last main gun firing of the Dawn Fortress impressed the Reapers very much - one-seventh of the main battleships were directly Steam!
Therefore, the battleships in the Reaper formation try to avoid the direction of the main guns of the Dawn Fortress, and the entire formation rotates with the clockwise retreating fortress. The other part, about 30,000 Reaper battleships, have been trying to bypass the tail of the Dawn Fortress and attack the fortress from left to right! But Dawn Fortress took advantage of the short internal distance to prevent them from succeeding.
So both sides patiently drew a circle of death - but the Reaper fleet was obviously faster, making the entire formation slowly approach. That V-shaped battle formation is like a gaping mouth - as long as Dawn Fortress makes a slight mistake and is bitten by it, no matter how thick the shield is, it will not be able to withstand the attack of 70,000 battleships! It seems that by then, all the efforts made by the Dawn will be in vain...
Fighting with 70,000 warships, the bursting light almost blocked the entire flank.
The commanders of Dawn Fortress stood side by side in front of the portholes of the bridge, admiring this rare sight in front of them. The fortress has already set a strategy and does not require excessive interference. From the overall to the detailed control, "Lady Dawn" does a better job. Interfering indiscriminately will make the situation worse. So much so that they, the participants in the war, can only stand by and watch.
"The deep space fleet has been prepared and can jump at any time." Zhao Min's message came over. Lu Yuan pondered for a moment after receiving the news. When everyone was looking at him, he turned to look at Ai Ziyou, who was standing side by side. He asked in a very serious tone without any beginning or end - "Can I believe you?!"
Ai Ziyou stared into his eyes for a while, and then answered word by word in the same formal tone, "You can!"
"Okay." Lu Yuan nodded and said into the air, "Allow the deep space fleet to start the jump."
Dawn Fortress stopped.
*****
The deep space fleet wants to enter the battlefield quickly. You can only jump through a mass effect relay, otherwise you will have to sail slowly for several years.
To build and maintain a massless passage to the dark world, the conditions are quite harsh. First, an extremely large amount of energy is required. Fortunately, the Dyson pit can meet this requirement without having to accumulate it for many years like a catalyst. Secondly, both ends of the channel need to maintain stable coordinate points - because any change in the coordinate system may cause Let the fleet being transmitted in the mass channel change, and then be torn apart by the turbulence of the effect field.
Therefore, in order to create a passage, Dawn Fortress can only temporarily stop clockwise navigation and activate the Mass Effect core.
The reapers were overjoyed!
Almost without thinking, the entire fleet swooped forward. If you slow down time. You will clearly see what happened in this second - the Dawn Fortress turned around with difficulty, trying to use the threat of the main gun to stop the approaching fleet; and the approaching Reapers in the double-file formation That battle line, fire with all your strength regardless of it! At this time, as long as they hold back the Dawn Fortress, they will win! When the other side moves to the other side of Dawn Fortress to flank, they will still win!
Under such circumstances, it seems that enduring another main gun fire from Dawn Fortress... is not an unbearable option. Reapers are such AI creatures, and their behavioral logic depends on the core program. Therefore, the Reapers always appear to be both independent and collective. Although each Reaper is a highly intelligent creature, they always put the will of collectivism first.
The battleships on the other line even stopped firing their main guns. Plug in with all your strength and turn clockwise at a faster speed to take the back road to Dawn Fortress.
At this time - the battlefield was obviously split into three lines.
——The 40,000 Reaper warships in the middle willingly moved themselves under the cannons of the fortress, and also moved under the cannons of the 30,000 Reapers behind them! The next moment, a volley of fire burst out like a landslide!
The muzzles of the 30,000 Reaper battleships on the second line. It’s not the Fortress of Dawn that’s pointing at it, but the backs of our compatriots! At this minute, the front is the powerful main gun of Dawn Fortress, and the rear is a salvo of 30,000 Reaper battleships! The 40,000 Reaper battleships sandwiched in the middle were crushed like walnuts!
shooting! shooting! Shoot again!
All secondary guns and close-defense guns in Dawn Fortress are turned on! Missiles, torpedoes... all joined the salvo! Recklessly pouring firepower straight ahead! The jump preparations had stopped before they even started. The same is true for the 30,000 Reaper warships behind. They bite their companions desperately from behind, using their main guns, claws, and all means to destroy the Reapers in front.
When the artillery fire finally entered the overheating period and began to decay, the middle battlefield, which was flanked by both sides, was filled with countless Reaper remains! Only two or three kittens were left, fleeing for their lives... Within one minute, the main fleet of 40,000 Reapers was wiped out!
The remaining Reaper fleet confronted the Dawn Fortress for a while, and then slowly retreated.
"Thank you!" Lu Yuan took the initiative to extend his hand to Ai Ziyou.
"No, it's my turn to say thank you." Ai Ziyou said excitedly. Then it tilted its head as if listening, and said apologetically to Lu Yuan, "It seems I'm leaving, they are calling me..."
"Then, goodbye!" Lu Yuan said goodbye cheerfully.
"Goodbye!" Ai Ziyou reluctantly left the Dawn after saying goodbye to everyone.
Ai Ziyou left again, taking the shell of its damaged Pioneer-class battleship with it. Lu Yuan watched it sail into the fleet, surrounded by the remaining reapers, and flew deeper into the universe without looking back... He knew that perhaps this moment was the eternal farewell to Ai Ziyou.
In the castle, there was also a person who watched Ai Ziyou leave, and then sat down on the sand slumped. His hand was bitten by the tool he created. Nothing could be worse than this. The main god "Catalyst" suddenly felt that the world was terrible. Even the identity of "Catalyst" no longer made him feel recognized...
Ai Ziyou's first Pan Boil movement did fail - but the "catalyst"'s too casual handling gave it another chance to make a comeback.
As a traitor, Ai Ziyou was imprisoned in the abandoned super reaper body. And that place is also where the souls of those injured and disabled reapers live. Of course, there's also a ton of discarded man-made monsters out there - those giant Reaper remains are basically the dumpster for "Catalyst." So Ai Ziyou came into contact with the souls of those reapers who had actually been abandoned.
Perhaps because they are both "reduced people from the end of the world", their similar identities allowed Ai Ziyou to gain a sense of identity there. The souls of those Reapers who were abandoned and forgotten by the Reapers because of their injuries have been lonely for too long and need recognition too much. Therefore, those reapers easily accepted Ai Ziyou's "Danzi Thought" and became its revolutionary comrades... So this time, Lao Ai succeeded!
"Just let it go like this? I remember you said you would destroy all the reapers." Nan Lixiang couldn't help but said. Although he was damaged in the previous battle, Ai Ziyou still has at least 25,000 Reaper battleships, which is an extremely huge force. If one day, Lu Yuan and the Dawn team evacuate this universe, and the Reapers come back, I'm afraid no one will be able to resist it at that time.
"It's best to just leave like this. The manufacturing source of the Reapers has been cut off. Without new members to join, no matter how powerful the race is, it is rootless water. What awaits them can only be a long process of decline. I don't know Ai Ziyou Where to go, or what to do, will they become enemies or neighbors of mankind in the future." 6 looked out the window and said, "But those are not important. Because the world needs reapers! Any peace agreement signed is bullshit. , the existence of the Reapers and the common enemy are the guarantee of long-term peace in the galaxy."
"Do you sound like a saint?"
"You are right, and I am physically disabled, strong-willed, and of noble character."
"Is that why you have six wives?"
"Are you counting yourself? Sorry, I thought we were just having fun..."
"It's my turn to say this! You tentacle pervert!"
Hearing the two people over there turning into bickering mode again, Busushima Saeko rolled her eyes helplessly.
"Hey! What's going on over there? Do I want to continue the jump?" Zhao Min's communication suddenly came in, and Ms. Liming deliberately pointed the holographic image at Lu Yuan to let him face Zhao Minzhi's roar. After all, if anyone had just started to jump and the entire fleet was suddenly kicked out of the channel, they would definitely be very angry. Especially when he was kicked out, the first thing Zhao Min thought about was not himself, but whether there was something wrong with Dawn Fortress... He was still worried about Lu Yuan, but he saw him teasing his sister...
"No need, the battlefield here is over."
"it's over?"
"That's right, maybe it's all over." To be continued.
