Planet Aila, Executor Base.
"Why!!!!"
Dika's angry roar echoed throughout the base.
In the war room, all the executives, including Lianna who stayed, were silent, looking at Dika with complicated eyes.
In these eyes, there was sympathy, doubt, and... gloating.
Of course, more of it was still speechless and a little timid.
——They saw with their own eyes a low-level civilization being executed, using force to complete a complete strangulation of an executive's main fleet, or rather the entire fleet.
Yes, strangulation.
Whether it was the missile cluster at the beginning or the main fleet that followed, the human fleet was already ahead of the Legion's weapons in terms of weapon power. As a result, within five minutes of the human surprise attack, Hall lost more than 160 warships.
Then, the main fleet of humans entered the scene, and energy cannons all over the sky instantly covered Hall's fleet - Hall's fleet was turning to target the human assault warships, exposing its most deadly waist at an extremely slow speed.
And then...no more.
Four hundred and thirty-six warships turned into fireworks all over the sky under the powerful human main guns, leaving only thirteen fast destroyer frigates to escape the battlefield.
It can be said that the entire army was wiped out!
And under such tragic losses, the human losses... are almost negligible.
"Lianna!" After roaring, Dika immediately turned to look at Liana who was looking thoughtful: "You have to give me an explanation!"
Lianna was thinking about what technology was used in human weapon systems. When she heard this, she looked over instantly: "What explanation?"
"If it weren't for you..." Dika gasped heavily, his thick arms supported on the table, and he glared at Liana: "If you hadn't insisted on communicating with humans, how could humans know the status of my fleet? If one of his detectors comes over, I can destroy one!"
"My battleship was exposed to the enemy's eyes for several months!!" Dika clenched his fists hard and said word by word: "You must give me an explanation!"
The other commanders looked at Liana after hearing this.
Frankly speaking, they had some complaints about this woman...
A quasi-prophet who doesn't understand military operations and even has Sumaya's stance, just because of his relationship with the CEO... he is dictating the eighth-level mission, and even vaguely regards himself as the number one person in the base... …
She really should give an explanation.
Facing Dika's anger, Lianna slowly frowned, and then her eyebrows slowly rose.
"Are you sure?" Lianna said solemnly.
"Why am I not sure?! You said you need to understand the enemy. How much do you know? Where is your report?" In anger, Dika completely ignored Lianna's identity and status. He only knew that... he had lost the executive officer of the fleet. , means losing everything.
In addition to facing endless investigations, even if the hearing can exonerate him, his executive status... cannot be saved.
Returning to his home planet and being a fat man waiting to die is the best ending for him.
How could he be willing to do so?
"Very good." Liana took a deep breath and looked at everyone: "If you think so too, then I will return to my home planet now. At the same time, I will truthfully report and prove all the battle processes, and accept the Supreme Council and the Review by the House of Prophets. If I am responsible for the review, I will never shirk it.”
"Below, I will read all the scenes and decision-making steps of this battle, including the current meeting minutes."
Liana stood up slowly as she spoke, her eyes sweeping across everyone with a sharp look: "Are you sure?"
Everyone was slightly startled, and then shuddered!
Except for Dika, everyone woke up in an instant!
Although they had quite a bit of criticism towards Liana, everyone knew... The most fundamental problem with the annihilation of Dika's army today was that the human battleships were too powerful. The secondary reason... was Dika's anger at the beginning. He made the mistake of turning the main force to pursue, and did not accurately judge the human intention. So when the human missile destroyed the warship he aimed at the jump point, the enemy's main force was able to jump over without any worries.
If...Dika can be more calm and only send flanking warships to deal with the enemy's advance commando, then even if the enemy's missile cluster comes over, at most one-third of the warships will be lost, so that he can calmly deal with the enemy's follow-up troops. ——Even if we take 10,000 steps back and the main human force no longer jumps, we can still maintain the balance of power.
At the very least, we can defend galaxy 32718.
And now... not only has his main fleet been wiped out, but he can no longer even assemble a fleet capable of carrying out the mission...
Such an executive has ceased to exist in name only.
If Liana really writes the report selflessly—even if she is selfless and does not make any snitches—then the entire base will drink a pot!
Apart from anything else, if Hall knew that his old sweetheart was forced to leave, who here would be happy?
Despite Hall's usually smiling appearance, no one here could bear his anger.
"No, no, no."
"Prophet, please sit down."
"Think about it in the long term, think about it in the long term - Dika, calm down, the most important thing for us now is how to write the report. Right?"
"Yes, the report is the most important! And although the enemy's battleships are powerful, we still have an absolute advantage in numbers, and didn't the boss return to his home planet? Calm down, let's summarize first."
"Now that humans have entered the 32718 galaxy, they will deal with me and Qiu's main force from two sides. The two of us combined have more than 1,200 battleships, which is enough to surround them."
"You're right!"
Amid everyone's murmurs, Qiu and Pika stood up. One held down Dika, who was already in a trance, and the other walked to Lianna's side and invited the other to his seat again with a smile.
Liana bit her lip, closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and then slowly said: "Now, there is not much we can do except summarize. In the final analysis, we still need to make the higher-ups realize that what we The enemy we face is unprecedented...an enemy we have never encountered before.”
"They have a highly developed civilization, a technology tree that is similar but different from ours, and they also have a stronger..." The conversation Hall had with her before leaving came to Lianna's mind - Hall thought worriedly, Humanity's greatest advantage, or the Empire's greatest disadvantage, is potential.
"potential"
"There is no paradise for human beings, so that they will always have unlimited potential to explore the unknown."
"so……"
Lianna's eyes flashed with fierceness.
"I admit that my previous judgment was wrong and I should review it. Now, I think..."
"In the universe, such a NB civilization is not allowed to exist."
…
…
Mobis home planet, Seer Academy.
There is a saying in the Holy Empire - a prophet never meets in private, unless the two are going to fight to the death.
The reason for not meeting in private is simple. The prophets in the House of Prophets have the right to communicate directly with the Paradise. This right makes their status so high that the Supreme Council must respect their opinions.
At the same time, the prophets are divided into different schools, specializing in different fields, and grasping different directions. Although all the knowledge of the prophets comes from the Paradise, knowledge is never limited to the Paradise.
What is a prophet? A prophet is someone who knows something before others do.
What they explore is an area that even the Promised Land cannot give an accurate explanation.
Therefore, of course, there will inevitably be cognitive conflicts between the prophets - when there is no referee, this conflict is likely to lead to the most intense confrontation.
In the past thousands of years, countless prophets have fought against each other because of their different ideas, and this has even triggered confrontations between their respective schools. This situation not only gave the House of Prophets a headache, but even the Supreme Council was helpless.
So much so that there was an unwritten rule later on. After becoming a prophet, try not to meet in private - of course, this is mainly due to the consideration of avoiding taking sides.
But today, three prophets appeared in the office of Prophet Klin.
One of the other two is Volt, ranked twenty-second, Grena's teacher. The other one is Dolei, the ninth-ranked dean of the Seer Academy.
The dean of the Seer Academy adopts a voting rotation system. Apart from presiding over the academy meetings, he has no special authority. If his ranking is not high enough, he will be reduced to announcing the dean.
The real right to speak in the Seer Academy has always been in the hands of the top ten.
The three prophets sipped tea with calm faces and talked about the artistic furnishings in Prophet Klin's room, including the inconspicuous murals and handicrafts that can be seen everywhere - these furnishings, which at first glance are not surprising, are actually from all over the world. Behind every civilization in the universe, there is a story that may be grand or subtle.
While the three of them were chatting, the door opened. The next moment, Hall's tall figure appeared at the door.
"Good afternoon, three teachers."
Hall had calmed down. He greeted the three prophets politely, and then calmly walked to the empty seat next to him.
The three people's eyes were on his face at the same time.
"The three teachers should have received news of the battle in galaxy 32718."
"Received." Klin also nodded calmly: "I only know that one of your executive officers lost 423 battleships in a battle, and the entire army was wiped out. But the enemy only lost a few To twenty warships.”
"Yes, this was an incredible battle. If I hadn't seen the battlefield records, I would have thought that there was a powerful civilization that used orbital ships against my men." Hall nodded slowly, and then He opened the leather bag behind him and placed a palm-sized electronic device on the coffee table.
The device started up and shot a funnel-shaped light curtain upward.
The real-time battlefield record starts to play.
In the picture, Dika's more than four hundred warships were in a cone formation, aiming their main guns at the only jump position, faithfully guarding the galaxy's front.
Suddenly, there was a gravitational fluctuation at the rendezvous point. The next second, an enemy ship with a strange shield appeared out of thin air. Then, the warship used the force of the jump to quickly start and swept towards the fleet at an incredible speed. side.
At this time, Dika's fleet did not respond at all.
"I must explain that this is a response recognition mechanism, because Lianna is communicating with humans." Hall glanced at Prophet Klin, and immediately explained: "We have always believed that this kind of communication will have an impact on our follow-up Mission and battle plans are beneficial. At least until today."
Prophet Klin nodded slowly and motioned for Hall to continue.
Three seconds later, Dika's fleet had recognized the invasion, and the first light began to sweep across the sky. .
Then... one after another, human assault ships passed through the jump point and circled towards the flank of the fleet.
At the same time, Dika also realized the enemy's intention and began to direct the main fleet to turn, intending to use intensive fire coverage to destroy the enemy's high-speed warships.
"At this time, we can see... the enemy has begun to release missiles - in human language, they call them missiles, which means weapons that can be guided automatically." Hall calmly pointed to the dense stars in the sky .
"Frankly speaking, if it were me, I would be panicked."
Dolei, the rotating dean, turned his head and looked at him with sharp eyes.
"Because we have seen the power of human missiles. But... this is not important." Hall breathed out softly and continued to control the playback: "Pay attention."
The three prophets looked at the screen again.
I saw that the light spots representing the missiles were extremely fast, and almost instantly reached the sub-light speed realm.
But at this moment, the five main battleships suddenly burst into fireworks all over the sky.
Hall paused the playback.
The three prophets instantly looked at the fireworks in the sky.
"I said, if it were me, I would be panicking." Hall took a deep breath and looked at the three of them.
"If I'm not mistaken...this is a super-light weapon."
"In other words, super-light missiles!"
Following Hall's voice, he quickly flipped the screen backwards for a second.
At this time, the intelligent brain intervenes in the calculation and begins to mark each light point with a number.
After playing it again, none of the numbers disappeared.
"Three teachers, you are the most intelligent beings in the universe." Hall clenched his hands tightly, frowned, and had deep reluctance in his eyes.
"Can you explain to me how this works?"
The expressions of the three prophets became extremely solemn at this moment.
Dore Prophet even regained control of the projector and played it several times, but the final result... was exactly the same.
Before those sub-light speed missiles arrived, five battleships were already wiped out.
After a long silence, Prophet Dore looked at Prophet Klin.
"You are an expert in the field of super-light speed. Do you know... apart from tachyons, what other substances can exceed the speed of light?"
Prophet Klin shook his head slowly, with deep worry in his eyes.
"Maybe it's not material."
"what is that?"
"Curvature." Prophet Klin took a gentle breath: "Changing the curvature of the space where matter is located can achieve displacement beyond the speed of light."
The other two prophets were slightly startled, and then took a breath of cold air at the same time!
"I don't think such an awesome civilization can appear in the universe anymore."
Prophet Klin stood up slowly. He glanced at Hall first, but his eyes stopped on Dorey's face.
"Dean, I suggest...the Legion raise the incident to level zero."
