This was absolutely the most unique subjugation battle, there were no earth-shattering flashes of fire, no passionate head-on charge, everything silently fell into a deadly silence.
Seventeen hours ago, the Herrscher suddenly began to approach, Mei immediately evacuated non-combat personnel, and led the rest of the people with the Minerva as the core, to go out and meet the enemy, there were quite a few dissenting voices at the time.
As the defending side, why would they abandon a sturdy fortress to take the initiative to meet the enemy, being in an unsupported state, isn't that looking for death?
An hour ago, all these dissenting voices disappeared, and all that was left was shock and admiration for Dr. Mei.
When the two sides were close to three hundred kilometers, they had already torn a gap in this domain by relying on a dense formation, and were about to break through it with a volley of fire, but the Herrscher got there first.
Pardofelis's two legs were trembling, right below her feet, a 'Raven' was disintegrating in the air, throwing out all kinds of human bodies and goods like trash.
On closer inspection, everyone was dead, there were no wounds, their faces held shock and bewilderment, their vitality was instantly cut off.
Th-this is a Herrscher??
This was Pardofelis's first time on the battlefield, and she encountered this kind of hellish difficulty, the key was that she had diarrhea early in the morning, and had to grit her teeth to stand firm on the battlefield.
The originally dense formation at least gave her some courage, and then without even seeing the enemy, dozens of Fusion Warriors along with thousands of soldiers were instantly erased.
"Looks like our luck is good." Aponia stood on a 'flying saucer', watching the airborne mothership sink into the white clouds, this 'sword' had swept past the two of them.
No, a flashlight should be more appropriate, within the range of this beam of light, even high-level Fusion Warriors would fall unconscious instantly.
"Sister Nia, don't joke, is this still considered lucky?" Pardofelis wished she could jump down right now, quickly dig a pit and bury herself, and then fill it with ten meters of concrete.
"Take a deep breath Pardo, believe in Mei, believe in your comrades, believe in Ryan."
Aponia was always that gentle, her azure eyes had become solemn, the Herrscher had concentrated His authority, turning the scattering into a sweeping beam, reducing the number of targets that needed to be suppressed, and in a certain sense, increasing His lethality.
This was still because the distance was relatively far, if it were any closer, perhaps she would have died instantly as well.
He anticipated the tactics the Fire Moth would adopt, and with this, it became very difficult to use a dense array to approach at the same time and burst that domain.
Nothing could be seen with the naked eye, but thankfully a 'beam of light' sweeping over appeared on the tactical terminal, and Aponia grabbed Pardofelis's hand tightly.
"Hold on tight Pardo, we can't die at this time."
"The second strike is coming, bow down 35°, full speed evasion!"
"Ballistic simulation complete, all units on the path scatter!"
The Minerva was like a headfirst dive into the sea, the strong sense of weightlessness made everyone grab onto the nearby fixed objects, the engine was roaring, making this giant ship extremely fast.
Mei lowered her head, pursed her lips, and glanced at Mobius who had the same expression next to her, that cold face had no trace of a smile on it.
The plan was seen through, according to the initial idea, she would adopt a tactic of sending out everyone in one go, even if there was one more ordinary person, it would require a little bit of energy to bind him.
So the difficulty of the plan was how to let most of the people break through that ring-shaped domain and approach the core area at the same time.
"I didn't expect Him to do this, directly concentrating His authority to sweep, your dense formation is like a huge target!" Mobius said with a frown, being on the same boat, there was no sarcasm in her words.
At least this woman reacted very quickly, after discovering that something was wrong, she immediately used Prometheus for ballistic calculation, so the damage of this second 'slash' was much smaller.
"What makes a Herrscher strong has never been their authority, but their learning ability, and the one in front of us is even better at learning." Mei looked up with the suddenly ascending warship, watching the lonely red dot on the large screen, and felt a chill run through her.
A mere person fighting against eighty percent of the Fire Moth's forces, sweeping from three hundred kilometers away, it was almost like a science fiction novel.
"He's afraid of a worthless demise, so He won't follow the old ways like His predecessors, He's indeed very difficult to deal with."
"I don't care how He is, just say what to do."
The premise of the operation was without Ryan, the preparations before the war were very well done, but when she truly faced it, Mei felt immense pressure, this endless stream of methods was very difficult to deal with with just intelligence alone.
But I have to be the protagonist.
Mei adjusted her glasses, and seeing the hundreds of additional death messages, she roared and ordered: "All units maintain distance, the first round of fire suppression begins!"
The distance was still far, but Mei felt that since the enemy was concentrating His authority, there was an opportunity to exploit, at least this chaos could not be allowed to continue spreading.
At that moment of life and death, no one dared to hesitate, the remaining four 'Ravens' and high-orbit attack satellites were all in place, roaring as they sent out their firepower.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh--
The trails of the missiles tore the sky to shreds, carrying a massive amount of Honkai energy flying into the distance, these were artificial binding points, just to increase the Herrscher's load.
After this period of preparation, they launched thousands of them at once, and sure enough, that invisible giant sword did not slash down again, Mobius stared intently at the light spot on the screen.
Three hundred kilometers, two hundred fifty kilometers, two hundred kilometers...
Thousands of light spots disappeared at the same time in her expectant gaze, the lively scene of the launch just now was like an illusion, making her snake eyes narrow and her body feel cold.
"Seamless conversion? How can we fight this?!"
The sweeping beam and the all-encompassing domain converted in an instant, just now it was an invincible spear, and in the blink of an eye it turned into an unbreakable shield, this is what you call a combination of offense and defense, and as the domain expanded, the warship's energy began to be consumed rapidly, and communication was once again cut off.
The Herrscher was reminding them that even in the most conventional state, they were not a match.
Mei's expression was also very ugly, as if she had seen an unsolvable problem.
If they were together, they would be targets, if they scattered, it would be equivalent to adding oil to the fire, how many people would have to die to reach the critical point, the strongest Herrscher so far, truly lived up to His reputation.
"Something's wrong, why didn't He press on directly, still keeping His distance? Why didn't the Herrscher of Binding make a move, this concentrated beam is the best time for Him to show His authority. Why is He guarding against Elysia's authority?"
Three questions in a row stunned Mobius, she once again understood the terrifying nature of this woman, at this time she still had the leisure to think about the Herrscher's motive.
"Is it necessary, it'll only take some time to grind us to death."
She reluctantly gave an explanation, the authority once again gathered into a 'beam of light' with a diameter of one kilometer, and swept over silently.
The artificial intelligence immediately calculated and fed back the trajectory to the tactical terminal, but 'seeing' it didn't mean they could dodge it, dozens of fighter jets on the starboard side crashed like they had lost power.
Boom boom!
Fireballs remained in the sky, they had crashed into each other while trying to dodge in a hurry, no one is a robot, they wouldn't panic when a certain death attack came, and it was counterintuitive that they couldn't see it with the naked eye and had to rely entirely on information guidance.
"Air Force Third Squadron all dead!"
"Salvation team's first squad has lost more than half."
"Raven Three's right engine is offline, maintaining flight balance!"
The alarm sounds in the bridge rose and fell, being able to continue working at this time already showed a steel-like heart, but it was useless, the Herrscher still maintained a distance of three hundred kilometers, cruelly and mechanically, sweeping once every few seconds.
"Mei, fire cover, let me lead the charge." Kevin's face appeared on the screen, he was holding the Judgment of Shamash in his hand, his match rate was the highest besides Ryan.
"This is meaningless, even if you bring people closer, the Herrscher will expand His domain again, and you are far from enough to reach the critical point." Mei's tone was still without fluctuation, her brain was like a computer unaffected by emotion, calmly planning everything.
Through preliminary intelligence and calculations, the limit of the Herrscher of Binding's domain was five hundred kilometers, this distance could only affect ordinary people, but the two-hundred-kilometer mark of this circular domain was a threshold.
Under an all-encompassing, spherical domain, Fusion Warriors would be affected, and in a situation where they could not touch the upper limit, even high-level Fusion Warriors could only rush within a hundred-kilometer range.
The tactic of adding oil to the fire was meaningless, only a small number of strong people would die before they even got close, the only chance of winning was for everyone to enter at the same time, exceeding that critical point of nearly 10000HW.
"But the Herrscher is alive, it's impossible for Him to act according to our will!" Kevin showed a serious expression in front of Mei for the first time, when it was time to fight for their lives, how could he think too much, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted it, and he scratched his head.
"When will Ryan come back?"
"The headquarters' backup energy has already been exhausted, I don't know." Mei didn't want to argue with Kevin, she just said lightly: "I have already made the worst plan, you prepare yourself."
Prepare yourself.
Kevin clenched his greatsword, his eyes twitching, not many people knew about this confidential operation, because the price was too heavy.
The Fire Moth would advance selflessly to their deaths, finding a way to get to the critical point, and then he would use the Judgment of Shamash to launch a fatal blow, burning everything, regardless of friend or foe.
Can I do it? Can I succeed?
He had no confidence at all, he only felt the hand holding the sword trembling slightly, not to mention having to personally burn his comrades and companions, the Herrscher of Binding gathering His authority could very well neutralize the attack.
But looking at the friendly forces flying around like headless flies, Kevin suddenly found that he had no choice.
Finality has not yet arrived, and every Herrscher represents Finality, how can there be so many perfect plans, since Ryan is not here, this responsibility can only be borne by him, and he must bear it!
The Flame-Chaser who bore the name of 'Salvation' stood up straight, even if the world line changed a lot, some core remained stubbornly, Kevin didn't have much time to convince himself, a gentle female voice came from the communicator.
"Everyone, please follow me and advance, please vent your suppressed fighting spirit to your heart's content."
The nun with a very faint presence flew at the very front, on her back was Pardofelis who was so scared she was trembling like a maggot, under the influence of the 'Precepts', whether they were willing or not, everyone began to charge.
Charging towards death.
