Chapter 565: Use poison to fight poison
Three months are not long or short.
And in these three months, a lot of things have also happened.
First, Star Alliance released information about the Reapers to the public and announced the blockade of all mass repeaters, completely entering a state of wartime emergency. The people who learned about this naturally developed panic and suspicion, but fortunately, most of them were relieved after learning that the Inquisition would join the combat against the Reapers.
After all, the combat effectiveness of the Inquisition Court is here. Before, the citizens of the Star League have seen how they dealt with the Batali people like cutting melons and vegetables. In addition, religious bonuses and the secret intentional or unintentional guidance of the Star League official, many people regard the Inquisition Court as the guardian of mankind - well, this is actually true.
Of course, it is not that there are no "knowledgeable people" who believe that human beings should not choose to be isolated in the country, but should face up to the coming threats alongside other races. Isolating yourself will only allow the reapers to defeat each other. At this time, it should show the power of the united civilization of the universe.
Unfortunately, most of these people were led to the territory of other alien civilizations by Liumier''s invitation letter as early as the beginning, and then the Star Alliance also destroyed the two main repeaters leading to their galaxy, resulting in the fact that the group of people could not come back at all. Although the remaining people were shouting loudly, most of the people did not accept their tricks.
After all, they also have their own simple logic - those alien fleets can''t even win the court, is there any use to unite with them? At that time, we might have to draw our own fleet to help them. What if this causes our own troops to be invaded by the other party?
At this time, we can only sweep the snow in front of the door, don’t worry about the frost on others, right? We can''t sacrifice ourselves to help those who have invaded us before, we have no brain problems! What are the cold teeth of lips? They are not the same as us. What do they count as?
Then… the harvester is here.
For the Godcastle Council, the appearance of the Reapers was indeed "unprepared". Although they did make some arrangements after being warned by Star Alliance, they did not expect that the Reapers would appear directly in their hometown!
This is actually not surprising.
I have said before that the quality repeater and the repeater are like a train station. Therefore, in the past, all races chose to use large troops to block the mass repeater, so that when the other party arrived at the station, they would be attacked.
But the problem is that the harvester is not a passenger of this train, and the entire mass repeater is made by them. Strictly speaking, they are considered drivers!
Since the driver drives the train, where to drive and where to stop, but the driver has the final say in the station?
So, just as the racial army such as Turi and Asari gathered to block the mass repeater, the harvester drove the car directly over the station and stopped directly at the door of his hometown.
When they received a rescue request and found that they were stolen by the other party and rushed back, the harvesters had already begun to attack and harvest the home stars of various races.
Even if those alien alien fleets rushed back to their home planet, there would be no good results, because there was only one massacre waiting for them.
In the dark universe, hundreds of warships like huge metal octopus swim in it. They are like a community of octopus in the sea of ??the universe, wandering ruthlessly in the world.
"The target has been locked, attack!"
Staring at the huge Reaper battleship rushing towards him and others, Captain Turui looked solemn, and then he raised his hand and issued an order.
"Let''s fire!!"
A series of fire burst out from the Turui battleship and blasted towards the harvester in front of you. However, even the most powerful space fleet in the God Fortress, their firepower hits these Reaper battleships, but they only bring a little ignition. At the same time, the tentacles that looked like metal octopus in the front section of the Reaper Battleship slowly unfolded, and then a red energy beam suddenly shot out from it!
“————!!”
The bright red energy beam swept past, as if sawing wood, easily cut off the three Turi warships blocking themselves in the middle. In just a moment, Turi''s three main battleships completely turned into flames and disappeared into the universe. Then the Reaper warship continued to sail forward. The Turi warship behind him did not know whether it was unable to dodge or tried to stop it, but actually crashed towards the Reaper warship head-on-on, and then turned into a burst of sparks like a moth to the flame.
The Reaper Battleship passing through the flames was unscathed and continued to move forward.
“…………”
Seeing this scene, everyone in Xinglian couldn''t help but gasp.
"This is... the Reapers'' fleet."
Li Longcheng stared at the screen tightly and clenched his fists. Star Alliance has not fought with the Reaper before. At first, after the ghost of the **** castle, Sailon, was brainwashed by the Reapers, he led a Overlord-class Reapers warship to attack the **** castle, and was finally destroyed by the Star Fleet.
Of course, at that time, the Reapers had only one warship, and it was a righteous group fight, and the Shepard brothers were active, so Star Alliance did not find it very difficult.
But it turns out that when such warships appear in hundreds or thousands of postures, that is another matter.
“Fortunately we destroyed the mass repeater.”
At this time, General Hackett couldn''t help but sigh.
"Yes..." Hearing General Hackett''s feelings, Li Longcheng nodded. Although Duanmu Huai once warned them about the reapers'' sneak attacks using mass repeaters, he could only realize how terrible this power was if he saw it with his own eyes. This is not something you can solve by deploying your troops on your home star or mass repeater. As harvesters who can freely manipulate mass repeaters, they can completely use this technology to appear at will in any place with weak troops in the galaxy... This is the biggest crisis.
Even the Turri fleet, the most powerful army in the Divine Fort, has no power to resist in front of the Reapers army, so you can imagine that other races may not have any good endings.
Although Star Alliance has also begun to build brand new main ships on a large scale in order to fight against the Reaper Fleet,... it has only built dozens of ships, and it is still a bit stretched to face so many Reaper battleships.
There is nothing we can do about this. After all, even if the warship can be built, the crew was not born out of thin air. They are not like Duanmuhuai, who can directly create a bunch of dolls to control the warships.
“As of the moment, how long will the Reaper Fleet arrive?”
"I don''t know, maybe one or two months, I hope it will take longer. Mr. Duanmu said he will find a way to delay the arrival of the Reaper."
"All we can do is to hurry up and prepare as quickly as possible."
As he spoke, Li Longcheng and General Hackett looked at each other and sighed.
After all, they have made a choice, and as for whether this choice is correct, it is only for fate.
So what is Duanmu Huai doing at this moment?
In fact, Duanmu Huai is currently on the home star of the Turui clan, and he has only one purpose here, that is, what he said to Li Longcheng before, to delay the speed of the harvester as much as possible.
“………Hmph, sure enough, even if it’s Thunder, it’s just that.”
Standing on the ruined city streets, looking at the corpses all over the ground, Duanmu Huai''s expression did not change at all. Of course, he came here not to help Turui resist the harvester. This was not beneficial to Duanmuhuai. However, he did not intend to let the reapers do whatever they wanted here, for example...
"Roar——!!"
Suddenly, a beast-like roar sounded, and then Duanmuhuai saw a monster with pale skin and blue light on his eyes. He suddenly rushed out of the alley next to him, and roared at Duanmuhuai. Then Duanmuhuai punched his head and turned into a headless corpse.
"Hmph, it''s indeed a corpse puppet."
Looking at the monster in front of him, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly. This is the specialty of the harvesters. They will insert dead bodies on pillars and transform them into corpse puppets to use them as a large army attacking on the ground. Once the entire planet is cleared, these corpse puppets will be taken away, transformed, and become part of the real harvester.
From this point of view, the attack methods of the Reapers and the Tyran Zerg are quite similar. They both supply explosive soldiers on the spot. The more they die, the stronger they will be.
For Duanmu Huai... this is equivalent to a rehearsal for dealing with the Zerg.
"You like to play with corpse puppets, so... let me see if your corpse puppet is powerful or my corpse variant is more cruel. Is it the Reaper strong or the Blood Moon powerful!"
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai reached out his hand, and then a soul card appeared in his hand.
Activate—[Blasphemous sphere]!
“Boom——!!”
The next moment, the ground behind Duanmuhuai suddenly broke, and then a pitch-black stone tablet broke out from the ground and stood erected on the ground. Then, bright red runes gradually lit up on the surface of the black stone tablet!
Invisible fluctuations swept across the entire ruins. The next moment, the bodies of the sharp people on the ground suddenly began to expand and twist. Sharp bone spurs popped out of their arms, and the squirting and twisting tentacles were sprayed out of their open mouths. Then, these monsters stood up one after another...
"Eliminate all enemies standing in front of us and destroy them completely!"
“Roar woo!!”
With Duanmu Huai''s order, the next moment, countless corpses made sharp roars, and then they dispersed in all directions like hungry beasts!
And for the Turi people, this is the beginning of the nightmare.
