Everything happened so suddenly.
When the five drones "Eagle MK2" dispatched by Heinrich were on a mission to clean up the automatic turrets and mines deployed on the colonial satellite Mycenae, they suddenly opened fire on the friendly aircraft piloted by humans behind them. Before Inrich could react, the Wutai Yingyang type controlled by the human pilot was killed in a daze.
"What???"
Heinrich's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide, unable to say anything. It took several minutes for him to regain his composure. His first reaction was to suspect that Mycenaean hackers had remotely controlled these drones. Of course, he would never have imagined that the AI "H" responsible for controlling these drones would declare war on humanity.
"Knock it down! Shoot the drone down! Use all your firepower to attack! Main gun! Use the main gun quickly!"
The main gun originally planned to be fired by the "Ghoul" after the Osiris entered the range was now forced to target the drone, but it only killed one drone with one shot.
"Quick! Cannons! Missiles! Stop them!!"
Heinrich shouted at the top of his lungs, but he could not stop the four drones from approaching and approaching. Until the "Ghoul" entered the range of the anti-ship rocket launchers they carried.
"What the hell..."
Following a series of explosions, the Ghoul disintegrated, turning into another piece of cosmic garbage mixed with steel, plastic and broken limbs. The Osiris in the distance has seen the changes in the enemy camp, and they still don't know what happened.
Li Youde said to himself with a confused look on his face: "The enemy's warship was killed by our own people? Could it be that... their army mutinied?"
"Report, the other four HER warships approaching the capital were also sunk by humanoid weapons sent by themselves!"
"This...if it's an army mutiny, it would be very cooperative, right? Let's take a look at those new humanoid weapons first."
"Captain, those humanoid weapons began to move towards the 'Lion Gate' after sinking the battleship!"
"The technicians on the deputy bridge have analyzed the enemy's images, and they are all 'Yingyang MK2'!"
"MK2... is a drone. Although we don't know what happened yet, the number of enemies has been reduced. It's up to us to take the initiative!"
Under Li Youde's order, the Osiris began to move towards the four drones. There is no doubt that four drones alone are no match for the fully alert Osiris. As they approached, Lieutenant Anton sniped two of them, and the remaining two were surrounded and killed by the humanoid weapon teams A and B.
The siege of Mycenae ended without any danger.
But in the colonial satellite "New Rome", the capital of the Holy Roman Empire in the universe several sectors away, the disaster has just begun.
As the capital of the empire, New Rome had a standing defense force of 10 warships and 150 humanoid weapons. If a defense force of this size is engaged in a war, it can quickly severely damage or even directly defeat a large force. Not long ago, the Capital Defense Force added 80 new Eagle MK2 drones.
On January 25, RX Era 2201, due to the rebellion of AI "H", 80 drones originally responsible for guarding New Rome turned around and attacked "New Rome".
Everything happened too fast. Although the Capital Guard had far more humanoid weapons controlled by human soldiers than drones, nearly half of the area was caught off guard and was quickly breached. More than 20 drones Able to enter urban areas and engage in indiscriminate attacks. In an instant, one-third of New Rome was in flames. In other areas, buildings collapsed, traffic was paralyzed, and people wailed all over the place.
Since most young people, both men and women, have joined the war of aggression as soldiers, the current residents of New Rome are basically the elderly, children, and dignitaries who do not need to go to the front line. This has resulted in a complete lack of manpower for rescue and evacuation in the city when a disaster occurs. Many people can only run around in despair, facing death.
"Impossible, this is impossible..."
Emperor Manfred stood on the balcony of the palace castle and watched his once prosperous imperial capital turn into a sea of flames in an instant. The corners of his mouth twitched and his body trembled.
"Your Majesty, there are many citizens outside the palace gate asking to come in for refuge..."
"Your Majesty! Go to the underground escape tunnel! If New Rome disintegrates, you only have a few minutes to escape by boat.
"Run away? Do you want me to run away like a coward!? Go and protect Mary and leave me alone!!"
"Your Majesty! The princess is still young, and the empire cannot live without you!"
"Shut up!!"
Manfred angrily smashed his fist on the balcony railing, turned around and roared:
"I won't die! I am a great man who changed history, the only emperor of the Earth Circle. No one can kill me!"
"Shut up, Father! If you don't want to run away and be a coward, then how about yelling at the inferiors on the balcony? Are you a hero!?"
Princess Mary's voice suddenly emerged from behind the crowd. When the ministers and guards moved aside, Manfred saw his daughter staring at him with a sharp look he had never seen before.
"Father, listen to them and run away! Then go and make up for your crimes. Even if you don't want to run away, as an emperor you should at least give a speech to encourage the fleeing citizens and the fighting soldiers!"
Emperor Manfred stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar face of his daughter. In his memory, Mary's childish face was originally full of the arrogance of a noble lady, and she would listen to him show off the empire's achievements with an expression of admiration. But now her expression is resolute, vaguely revealing a hint of warmth that cares for her. She is completely unlike the arrogant and spoiled little girl before.
"Mary...you're starting to look like your sister."
"I understand now that my sister is right. She ran away from home knowing that she could no longer get you back on track, but I don't want you to die here! Father, do you know why I have been seriously ill since I came back from Earth? Is it? It’s not that I have a strange disease, but I can start to hear people’s wailing in my mind. It’s the wailing caused by war! Knowing this, I am no longer afraid of the voices in my head. At this moment, I can hear the citizens Our despair and grief, they need help and encouragement!”
Mary's words stunned those present. They thought Mary was sick and confused to say that she could hear the voices of a large group of people.
Manfred dismissed his daughter's scolding, turned around, and coldly ordered the guards to take her to the refuge room.
"Father! You...!"
Mary still wanted to convince her father, but at this moment, a drone appeared in everyone's sight. Before anyone could react, the drone fired a rocket towards Manfred's position.
"father…"
The rocket's velocity was so fast that before Mary could finish her words, the shock wave of the explosion sent her flying to the wall of the corridor. Thanks to the two guards who had just stood in front of her, they used their bodies to protect Mary from fatal injuries when the explosion occurred.
"Well…"
Mary's ears were ringing and her whole body was in pain. The magnificent room in front of her just now had turned into ruins shrouded in thick smoke.
"Father!! Cough cough cough..."
No one responded to her. Mary wanted to stand up and look for her father, only to find that one of her legs had been pierced by a steel bar. She cried out in pain, but no one responded to her. There is no doubt that everyone present except Mary is dead, including her father, the arrogant Holy Roman Emperor of the Universe, Manfred Adenauer.
