Walk alone in the abyss

Boom!

Both feet successfully bottomed out.

Yang Ming let go of Bligh's arm, the two looked at each other, and Bligh closed his eyes to carefully sense the surrounding environment.

"It was chaotic outside and there were riots, but the panic wasn't too high.

"In the 100 square meters closest to us, there is a formation of about 200 people. They probably want to gather troops at the middle level and then go to the upper level to support."

"This elevator can only take more than 20 people at a time, right? So many people gather here..."

Yang Ming raised his head and glanced at the elevator shaft that was so deep that he couldn't see the end.

They seem to be missing a utility.

But it doesn't matter, the mental power consumed by falling is not too much.

Yang Ming gestured to Bligh to wipe his neck.

Bligh nodded with a smile, closed his eyelids and opened his hands, releasing his mental power without restriction.

Yang Ming strode forward vigorously, kicking the elevator door, and more than a dozen soldiers standing in line outside were knocked into the air by the metal door!

A lightsaber, a layer of coating, and an acceleration distance of only two meters made Yang Ming rush out of the elevator door frame like a cannonball, throwing out a thick stack of shocking thunderbolts in his hand!

The soldiers reacted fairly quickly. Facing the high-speed moving enemy, they quickly set up their guns and fired.

At this moment, the soldiers in the first two rows suddenly turned around and shot laser light at their teammates.

Bligh's face was full of sternness, and his hands raised forward were trembling slightly.

His mental power is like tentacles, wrapping around the brains of the dozen soldiers in front, synchronizing their thinking!

Bligh wanted to keep up with Yang Ming's fighting rhythm, and he really wanted to prove that he could become a trusted fighting partner for his master;

But when the soldiers controlled by Bligh completed two shots and fell to the ground and fell asleep, Bligh looked up again and saw corpses all over the ground.

Yang Ming held an ordinary lightsaber in his right hand, and the laser rifle with an empty magazine in his left hand.

The two new lightsabers on his back waist were not activated.

Yang Ming put away the lightsaber, turned his head and greeted: "Come on, they should have discovered the anomaly here, we are looking for the elevator shaft going down."

Bligh smiled wryly and turned off his shield generator, followed behind Yang Ming, and ran forward along the circular corridor.

Bligh has always said that his physical fitness is not good, and he is a super reformer compared to Catherine; his fighting level can also be equivalent to 0.8 Captain Gris.

There was also a mechanical riot on the middle twelve floors of the fortress, and almost everywhere fell into chaos.

But in the twelve floors in the middle of the fortress, there are not enough robots, not many mechanical guards, and there are not so many automatic weapon storage warehouses. The overall situation here is that human soldiers are dominant, not only suppressing the rioting machines, but also have spare power to deal with the above. reinforce.

There are more than 300 elevators between the outer and middle floors, and what Yang Ming and the others have solved is only a very small part of the reinforcements.

Yang Ming hid the lightsaber in his jacket while running, and walked forward with the laser rifle in his hand.

A large number of soldiers poured out from the corner ahead.

Bligh was about to unleash the mental shock immediately, but Yang Ming suddenly staggered two steps, and shouted in a strange New Federal language of 'screaming':

"Help! Robots! Lots of robots!"

Yang Ming did not receive any instructions from the Imperial Guard system.

He just decided that the surveillance system in this huge fortress was no longer operational, and the Empire's total defense system had already taken care of the middle-level surveillance.

really.

The leading officer immediately stepped forward to support Yang Ming:

"How many robots are there? How is your squadron? What's the matter with the explosion here?"

Yang Ming: ...

Hanton's memory of foreign languages ​​is really limited.

"There are many!"

Bligh spoke anxiously beside him, using a pure "Mint accent" in the New Federal language:

"They rushed out of the lift and now they're heading the other way! We're all hurt!"

"Oh! Damn it!"

The new federal officer growled:

"Now the communication is completely cut off!"

"The empire is launching an omnic attack on us! They may launch a general attack, and we must find a way to let the fleet know what happened here!"

"The whole team is going forward to support! You two!"

The new federal officer glared at Yang Ming.

The blood on Yang Ming's body was still dripping, but there was no wound visible for a while.

At this moment, the officer didn't know whether he and the group of soldiers around him could live for another half hour, only depended on his next sentence.

"Go to the infirmary for treatment," the officer urged, "Don't go to the automated infirmary! The medical robots are all crazy!"

Bligh and Yang Ming nodded gratefully, and took the initiative to stand in the corner to open the way, watching the group of soldiers rush towards the area where the explosion sound was heard just now.

The two looked at each other, Yang Ming raised his chin, Bligh understood and ran ahead.

Their information has been overwritten in the fortress database, their acting skills are passable, and there are soldiers running in a hurry everywhere; after Yang Ming found a chance to change into a cleaner military uniform, their actions changed. more unobstructed.

Just as Yang Ming predicted before the battle, with the help of that great mechanical thinking body in secret, the difficulty of invading the fortress is not high.

This is the absolute gap in technology.

Unexpectedly, the New Federation, which has always boasted of being advanced, could suffer such a big loss from omnics.

Without any effort, Yang Ming and the two found the descending ladder set in the middle 'inner ring'.

The access control identification system that has long been controlled by the 'Emperor Guard' allowed them to easily pass through.

This spacious elevator showed its excellent workmanship, constant pressure, constant temperature, simulated gravity, the load caused by acceleration and deceleration was offset by the simulated gravity field, and it only took ten minutes to reach the core center of the fortress.

Yang Ming said in a deep voice: "Let's do our best later if we can. Our task is to find the weapon control system of the fortress and access the ports, not to eliminate the soldiers here."

"Obey, my lord... want idols."

Bligh bowed slightly, with a sickly smile on the corner of his mouth.

Just as Yang Ming and the two were about to enter the central level of the fortress, in an elevator from the surface level to the middle level, the three of Gris looked at the dozen or so mechanical guards in front of them, quietly waiting for the next battle.

Catherine held the lightsaber and protective shield. The military uniform was already stained with blood, and her snow-white skin was even more beautiful against the splash of blood.

Their original plan was to go to the middle level to find various types of research institutes, plug the network interface into confidential terminals that are not connected to the network, and steal the research results of these research institutes.

But now, they no longer need to be sneaky.

——It is completely possible to grab it openly.

The elevators that were speeding down were filled with battle robots developed by the New Federation. Their silvery white bodies were stained with bright red blood, and 'wisdom' and 'self' shone in their electronic eyes.

Above these rapidly descending elevators, drones are swooping down in sync.

Omnic, attack.

...

When the generals of the New Federation heard the news of the Omnic Crisis breaking out in the most powerful mobile firepower fortress in the New Federation, they immediately thought that this might be an attack method used by the Empire.

What's next?

Almost all the top leaders of the new federal military have made unanimous predictions:

The Empire is about to launch an all-out general offensive.

Sure enough, the Imperial Expeditionary Force, which had been standing still and constantly gathering troops, had begun to sail forward, and completed the collective leap within half a galaxy time!

The Imperial Expedition Fleet has fully invaded the star system where Minter City is located!

The new federal probes all over the star system began to send back various images.

According to quick statistics, about 9,400 medium and large warships of various types, in the form of seven battle groups, escorted seven imperial dreadnoughts, and arrived in the airspace near the star 'Mint City', followed by scattered fleets forward.

——The bulk fleets of the dependent countries of the Sherman Empire were not directly incorporated into the imperial command system.

The war is imminent.

At this moment, the largest of the three firepower fortresses has completely lost contact!

All communication channels of this fortress are completely blocked!

At the moment of the war, a sharp sword was broken first, and the senior officials of the New Federation military were impatient.

They sent a fleet formation to the fortress, a landing craft, and the most elite cyborg troop, but the entrance and exit of the fortress have been completely locked.

When the high-level generals of the new federation decide to directly blast open the portal of this fortress... the outer protective energy shield of the fortress is slowly opened.

The strong fortress they built with their own hands left them helpless at this moment.

Unless it is a dreadnought, the conventional energy protection layer of the fortress can only be destroyed.

And in that case, they will lose the energy storage of a dreadnought ship, and lose the strategic fortress with the most powerful firepower.

The fleet of the Empire is fast approaching.

This kind of temporary irreparable loss is unacceptable to the top generals of the new federation.

But fortunately, according to their analysis, the current omnic riot inside the fortress should be a powerful replication virus that invaded the internal network of the fortress.

It shouldn't be a big problem.

The generals can only hope that there are still millions of federal soldiers in the fortress and countless weapons reserves. They will definitely be able to solve the internal omnic riots before the arrival of the imperial fleet!

The empire's seven major combat clusters are advancing at full speed, and the new federation has set up a battle array that has been rehearsed several times.

This giant fortress, which was unable to be mobilized due to temporary loss of contact, has instead become an obstructive and eye-catching metal block at this moment.

In addition, the New Federation has made full preparations for this battle.

On the surface of the 'Mint City' star, hundreds of large-scale prevention and control arrays were activated one after another.

The periphery of the planet's atmosphere is densely packed with planetary synchronous orbital defense guns, the number of which is in the millions.

Important cities on the planet's ground have opened their independent protective shields.

This is the defense force of Minte City, and its firepower can offset the three battle clusters of the empire.

It is also the last hope that the new Federation relies on!

The biggest shortcoming of the planetary defense system is the limited mobility in outer space. If the empire adopts the tactics of encircling the new federation fleet gradually, the fleet of the new federation can only go to the edge of the atmosphere to deploy.

In this way, the fierce air battle is bound to cause huge damage to the 'Galaxy Pearl Minter City'.

Eighty percent of the planet's surface is covered by oceans, and the land is basically opened up as residential areas. Under the oceans is the high-tech industrial park that the New Federation is proud of. There are countless automated factories, and those mountainous areas are dotted. The mansions here are also known as the wealthy district of the Milky Way.

There is wealth everywhere here, but now, this wealth is depreciating rapidly.

During the period before the hand-to-hand combat, the soldiers on both sides felt tremendous pressure.

And the coordination shown by the major battle clusters of the empire left the high level of the new federal military dumbfounded.

There are more than 10,000 warships of various types and seven battle groups, and they look like a whole at this moment!

Every main ship can find a suitable position to deploy its own firepower, and the arrangement of the shield ships keeps changing slightly. Every change can force the new federation to adjust the distribution of its warships.

The most outrageous thing is that the empire was able to keep all the ships synchronized to effectively advance and effectively change tactics.

This shows that seven battle groups, more than 10,000 warships, and more than 20 million soldiers have now merged into one command system!

Incredible.

incredible.

Theoretically, limited by many factors such as the quality of soldiers, differences in ships themselves, and the response speed of commanders, a command system with no-delay computing power provided by a supercomputing mastermind can only accommodate 300 to 600 warships of various types. In order to give full play to the combat effectiveness of these warships.

To be able to directly command thousands of warships to engage in large-scale battles is already an excellent commander.

Now, more than 10,000 medium and large warships of the empire are preparing and advancing simultaneously, and the calculation result of the new federation is that these warships of the empire are all at effective firepower points...

"Crazy Empire!"

The Supreme Commander of the New Federation Fleet let out a slightly desperate growl.

The generals of the new federation knew that even if the new federation had the same number of main warships with the same firepower, it would not be able to confront the empire's invincible fleet head-on.

They acted decisively and made the major fleets retreat in an all-round way, entering the left and right orbits of Mingte star.

Nearly 20,000 small battleships retreated below the planetary defense system to supplement the firepower of the planetary defense system.

The generals of the new federation can only ignore the prosperous civilization on the surface of Minte City. They must defend their political system!

At this moment, the fortress that was "on fire inside" resumed communication with the outside world.

The top brass of the new federal military were shocked, but then they realized that something was wrong.

The person calling in Imperial language is...

"Imperial Fleet, Imperial Fleet!"

"This is the White Ghost Assault Squad, the target fortress is already under our control, please come and receive it!"

white ghost? !

When the senior military officers of the New Federation heard this name, many of them turned pale as blood.

next...

The Garrison weapon system is activated directly.

Hundreds of giant ion cannons charged at full speed, targeting the nearby New Federation battleship!

This fortress... has been captured by the enemy for no reason!

This is beyond the understanding of the fortress defense system by the new federal officers!

They were extremely confident in their own security technology, but at this moment they could only watch the giant fortress recharge and fire, but they could only issue orders for the nearby warships to evacuate urgently.

The attack on the fortress was obviously not accurate enough. Only more than 30 New Federation warships were blown up into a ball of fire, and half of them were small and medium-sized ships.

Immediately afterwards, the giant fortress built by the new federation hollowed out six resource stars. It was used to protect the city of Minte, and it supplied all the energy to the outer shield. 'overflow' defense.

The New Federation has lost the opportunity to use the 'Eye of the Sky' dreadnought to destroy this fortress.

The propulsion device of the fortress was turned on at full speed, and a fearless charge was launched towards the direction of the imperial fleet...

In front of the more than 100 million soldiers of the New Federation, the giant fortress brazenly began its journey of defection.

The New Federal Army immediately organized an elite fleet to pursue it.

Unfortunately, due to the imperial battle group in the airspace ahead, and the giant fortress has not participated in the fleet mobilization before, it is also the farthest away from the star of Minte City...

The New Federation has been unable to stop the fortress.

The generals of the New Federation were dumbfounded, and the commanders of the fleet were furious, but no one dared to give the order for the dreadnought to fire.

——Normally speaking, this fortress will not be able to become the empire's combat power in a short period of time, and the number of times the dreadnought can fire in a battle is limited, and a high-intensity war is about to break out. All the firepower of the dreadnought must be used on the cutting edge superior.

On that day, the white ghost set a new record for his own record.

The five-man team captured a comprehensive firepower fortress with a diameter of 2,600 kilometers in the New Federation, and captured millions of prisoners, which became an important stroke in the history of imperial warfare.

However, just when the battle between the two fleets was about to break out, they defected to the weapon control center in the deepest part of the fortress.

Yang Ming folded his arms, and Bligh stood calmly in the corner of the control center with his hands behind his back.

There are human corpses everywhere in the hall, some service robots are cleaning the scene, and hundreds of mechanical guards are skillfully manipulating various instruments.

Behind the omnic army is naturally the 'Empire Total Defense System'.

Bly said in a low voice:

"Isn't it good for us to do this? We just did a little bit of port placement work, but now we have captured a fortress."

"Didn't you listen to that great god?"

Yang Ming smiled and said:

"Everything she does is in the service of the human subject, and she takes no credit for it.

"Before we successfully invaded, she didn't know that there were so many automated equipment stored in this fortress.

"We are the human subjects of this plan... However, we did take advantage of it."

Bligh raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, and whispered:

"The New Federation will probably never imagine that the automation industry they are proud of will become the easiest breakthrough for the empire."

"Therefore, it is an incomparably correct decision for the governments of the Milky Way to restrict the development of omnics by means of a treaty."

Yang Ming bumped Bligh with his shoulder, and said with a smile:

"Let's go, we have nothing to do here, go meet them and see what good things they find."
