Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

Overlook from above.

It was already noon on the Teloker metropolitan area, and energy shields consisting of hundreds or even thousands of hexagons were successively raised in various areas of the metropolitan area.

The scorching sun's rays directly shone on the energy shield, and even caused a certain degree of optical pollution. Fortunately, most people stayed in their respective residences, or were placed in stadiums, shopping malls and other buildings.

Moreover, above the core area of ​​the metropolitan area, there are two Paris-class frigates moored, which seem to be preparing to provide artillery assistance to ground troops.

reduce distance.

Come to the 29th district of the outer city.

The energy shield separates the bustling and intricate neighborhood from the outskirts where there are many warehouses and residential communities.

On the edge of the energy shield, there are many fortifications built by the Ministry of Engineering and civil engineering teams, working overtime to facilitate the entry of military and public security personnel for better preparedness and defense.

Even the veterans who retired from the UNSC were deployed between the streets and buildings according to the instructions.

And District 07 of the metropolis, which has a rail elevator, is now rushing to transport underage children to the transportation hub station on the low-earth orbit, and then use cargo ships, merchant ships, and all civilian ships with jumping capabilities to evacuate as many children as possible. To the safe galaxy.

The entire Telokal is at a standstill, and the economic losses have not yet been counted, but it will take at least half an earth year to restore it to its original state.

What's more, whether the feared unknown Zerg has a main force approaching, or whether they can rely on their flesh to navigate in a vacuum, etc. are all unknowns.

The most important thing is that none of the psykers have noticed that anything with strong hostility is coming towards Telokle, and even the chaotic and evil space is very peaceful.

That's why, the head of the district, who is in charge of people's livelihood and economy, had to express his support due to Sergeant Ran Ze's existence and tried his best to assist in the evacuation work, but his heart was bleeding...

There is no way, no matter what the result is, Tyroker is facing the result that needs to be rebuilt.

———————

…

at the same time.

Teloko in low Earth orbit.

Dozens of civilian ships opened the dark blue vortex entrance almost at the same time, carried the children into the fault space, and disappeared into this space domain.

As a hub station connecting the low-Earth orbit and the surface, it is protected by the local UNSC fleet of Tylokal, one Yandu-class ship, two Firm-class ships and two Paris-class ships.

Inside the Yandu-class bridge as the flagship...

Sir. A crew member sitting on the right side of the bridge watched the real-time data displayed on the holographic screen in front of him, and reported loudly to the captain, who is also the commander-in-chief of the Tyrokl Navy: So far, we Thirteen million civilian minors have been evacuated.

Thirteen million...

Standing in front of the porthole of the bridge with his hands behind his back, the Admiral of the Navy was looking out into the dark space outside and lost in thought.

The holographic nameplate that appeared on the commander-in-chief's left chest displayed the words Horn Rector, Age: 82, Military Rank: Rear Admiral.

After listening to the report, the major general nodded slightly, then turned slightly sideways, looked to the left side of the bridge from the corner of his eye, and asked:

Is there any movement on the radar?

No, sir. A crew member in charge of monitoring and monitoring immediately shook his head and said, Whether it is conventional radar or spiritual radar, the feedback I read is green.

They're all green? The major general frowned.

The Yandu class has a variety of shipboard radars, among which are the conventional and spiritual radars mentioned by the previous crew member.

Conventional radar is very different from traditional electromagnetic wave radar. Quantum technology is used, and the existing star map information is used for comparison to analyze whether there is an incoming enemy.

The furthest detection distance of the Yandu-class shipboard radar is about two light years, and the radar can also gain insight into the fault space within this range, or the space distortion caused by navigation technologies such as warp speed and warp speed.

Theoretically, once there is any thing or fleet trying to break into the Tylokal galaxy, the Yandu class should be able to capture and lock it in advance.

The spiritual radar can detect whether there is any abnormality in the fluctuations in different spaces nearby.

but…

Neither the physical universe nor the different space could find the problem. On the contrary, the major general's heart sank, and he turned away from the porthole. While preparing to sit back to the captain's seat, he did not forget to say:

Tell the ground personnel to immediately stop the use of the track elevators and hub stations, and quickly evacuate all staff.

yes.

The crew in charge of communications received the order and started contacting the metropolitan area.

Not long after, the brightly lit junction station could be seen outside the porthole on the right side of the bridge, but now it has fallen into darkness, and the passenger and utility elevators are also heading towards the surface area of ​​Metropolis 07 through the tracks.

Tick! Tick!

As soon as the staff at the hub station had finished evacuating, the warning sound suddenly resounded throughout the entire bridge, and the crew members in charge of using radar surveillance immediately reported:

Sir! The directions of coordinates 2300, 1003, and 0027 were detected, and the space distortion caused by the abnormal gravity was found to be relatively fast. It is expected to reach the edge of Tyrok's gravitational range in 140 seconds. It is very likely that it is the main force of the unknown Zerg. fleet!

It's finally here. Hearing this, the major general immediately swept away the haze just now.

After all, that kind of uncertain situation is the most tormenting. Now that he has a clear goal, the major general will no longer be troubled and entangled, and calmly ordered:

The fleet is in formation, and the main guns and auxiliary guns are recharged. After the group of bugs finish their unknown means but relatively backward super-light flight, they will fire me a salvo. Don't be stingy with ammunition reserves.

Yes, sir!

Following a series of orders issued by the major general, the fleet, which was already in combat mode, raised its alert again.

One hundred and forty seconds passed in a flash.

And the main fleet of the unknown Zerg also appeared on the edge of Tyroker's gravitational force as reported by the crew.

but…

Its scale far exceeds the fleet's estimate.

The number is beyond words. If the size of the UNSC fleet is like an ant, then the main force of the Zerg is a boy or girl with a portable kettle, who wants to destroy an ant nest.

In terms of size, they are no longer on the same level at all.

And the rear admiral does not need the assistance of the holographic screen, just looking forward through the porthole, he can see densely packed biological battleships in the dark space,

Through visual inspection, the major general guessed that the number of this Zerg fleet was at least about a million, and the data presented on the holographic screen showed that the largest number of biological battleships in the Zerg fleet was also about 800 meters long.

Even if all the active forces of the Thirteenth Legion arrived, they were far from reaching the scale of a million battleships, let alone a few frigates.

but…

Fire! After a brief surprise, the major general still waved his left hand forward and said in a raised voice, Give them a taste of our ammunition!

yes!

Ri~—Whew! ! !

Before the words fell, the Yandu class, the Firm class and the Paris class launched a salvo of artillery fire.

The straight ballistic trajectory and the huge artillery group emitting bright blue light passed under and on both sides of the porthole one after another, and instantly came into contact with the Zerg fleet.

Boom~! boom·! !

Although the piercing and explosion effects were fierce, they couldn't cause even a single ripple in the entire Zerg fleet.

However, the attack of the fleet will not stop because of this.

At this time, the Yandu class and the two firm class ships released the diamond-shaped metal pillars on both sides.

Immediately afterwards, a total of fourteen metal pillars about 30 meters long were arranged around the fleet in a hexagonal matrix, and then...

hum! ! !

It released a matrix beam of light that was also hexagonal and emitted blue light.

Bark! !

This matrix beam attack was like the cutting effect caused by the hundred-armed giant on the swarm of insects when the battle broke out in the east of Olivelan Town not long ago, and it also caused large-scale damage to the swarm fleet.

Even so, the rear admiral and the crew were not happy, because the Zerg fleet as a whole was still safe and sound.

Therefore, after seeing the Zerg fleet launching a counterattack and releasing millions of bioplasma cannonballs and bone spurs at them, the major general ordered in a deep voice:

Notify all personnel on this ship to take all available transport planes, airborne pods and escape boats, and rush to the metropolitan area immediately.

Notify the remaining ships of the fleet, and immediately rush to the atmosphere to assist the Shock and the Indistinct (the two Paris-class ships left over the metropolitan area), and provide artillery support for the ground troops as much as possible.

In the current situation, we have lost the conditions to continue to control the orbital control, so retaining the vitality and delaying the arrival of the Thirteenth Army has become the primary goal.

But sir... what about you? a crew member asked.

I will operate this ship and continue to maintain the matrix beam until the last moment. The major general's tone was calm.

boom! ! boom! !

With that said, the counterattack of the Zerg fleet also had a fierce confrontation and collision with the energy shield generated by their fleet.

It's just that this round of offensive was not enough to directly smash the shield. On the contrary, the surface a thousand kilometers north of the metropolitan area suffered.

Sir! You need us to better operate this ship!

That's right sir!

Hehe... Seeing his subordinates resolutely stay, the major general finally showed a little smile, and then nodded in agreement without getting too entangled:

Okay, let those bugs see what we human beings rely on to gain a foothold in the galaxy!

Yes, sir!

Everyone in the bridge became very excited.

Next, the two firm-class ships and the two Paris-class ships sailed into the atmosphere according to the order, and before the two firm-class ships left the low-earth orbit, they were returned to the Yandu class and the major general and his party, leaving a diamond shape that could form a beam matrix metal post.

In less than three minutes.

Sir, all personnel have evacuated the ship except us.

Very good. After listening to the report, the major general stared at the Zerg fleet outside the porthole with blazing eyes, and said decisively: Speed ​​at seven knots, move forward, rush into the enemy group, and let the matrix beam achieve the maximum killing effect.

Yes, sir!

Outside the bridge at the moment.

The Yandu-class frigate charged towards the swarm fleet, and the fourteen diamond-shaped metal pillars, which are matrix nodes, also moved rapidly with the Yandu-class, and were constantly releasing matrix beams at the swarm.

Get closer.

Shua~! Shua~!

The Yandu class deployed the missile bays on both sides of the hull, releasing nearly a hundred missiles carrying antimatter and plasma warheads.

boom! ! boom! !

In an instant, nearly a hundred blue and white miniature suns rose from the front of the swarm.

If ten thousand Yandu-class and firm-class ships were present, and then a matrix and salvo of artillery fire were carried out, then the swarm fleet in front of them would not be able to make any waves at all.

It's a pity that the major general and others' suicidal offensive and the only Yandu-class ship's lethal effect are really negligible.

soon.

The Yandu class and the fourteen matrix nodes were devoured by millions of living warships, and they were under fierce concentrated fire attacks.

In just a moment, the energy shield generated by the Yandu class itself was shattered by the bioplasma.

However, when it was broken, six matrix nodes formed a barrier emitting blue light, which replaced the energy shield and temporarily assisted the Yandu class to withstand the attack, while the remaining nodes continued to shoot beams.

But this is not a long-term solution.

Inside the bridge.

Looking out through the porthole, you can see dense bugs constantly hitting the barrier, and the holographic screen next to the major general's right hand also shows that the percentage of the barrier is constantly decreasing.

A crew member turned his head and reported: According to the current trend, the defensive barrier will be broken in eighty seconds.

Sir. Another crew member asked, What should we do next?

After speaking, all eyes on the bridge were focused on the major general.

How to do it? The major general said, still in a calm manner, Turn up the engine power of this ship to the maximum, no need to consider the risk of collapse, and give the bugs a real light show.

Speaking of this, the major general stood up, raised his right hand as a standard military salute, and continued with a slightly lower voice, It's an honor to work with you, and I hope we can reunite in the sea of ​​souls.

Yes, sir!

Hearing this, all the crew members also stood up, saluted the major general and responded loudly, and then proceeded to perform the so-called real light show.

Outside the bridge.

All matrix nodes immediately formed a hexagonal shape, while the Yandu class, which lost its barrier, needed to resist all attacks with its hull.

And when it was about to be fragmented, the fourteen matrix nodes burst out with unprecedented brilliance, and then...

R~——!

Phew~——!

Viewed from a distance, a Z-shaped matrix light beam twists and sweeps forward at close to the speed of light, almost cutting the swarm fleet horizontally.

Although the matrix beam just now destroyed and burned thousands of living battleships, which was slightly different from the Zerg fleet as a whole, it still relieved a lot of pressure for Teroker.

As for the major admiral and the crew, they manually overloaded the engine the moment the matrix burst into light.
