Chapter 283 Reach
For most players, the Z14 star field is also their first experience in large-scale space fleet combat, including fleet battles, gang-hopping battles, ground sweeps, air raids, and joint operations--so, for this star field, everything Players are naturally familiar with the story that happened, and Duanmu Huai is no exception.
It's actually not complicated to say. This is a war between the human force UNSC and the alien race Covenant. It doesn't matter how it starts. Simply put, what the player has to do is to help the UNSC wipe out the Covenant - at least the main mission is Very simple.
However, after subsequent investigation, the player learned another story about this star field: there once was a race called the Forerunners in this star field. After the Black Hole Project ended, the human empire was completely destroyed and the survivors fell apart. One of the expedition fleets provoked an alien creature called the Flood somewhere, similar to the Tyranids. They adhered to the principle of running away if they can't fight. In principle, the expedition fleet ran to the Forerunner territory and launched a war with the Forerunners.
In the end, the human expedition fleet without backup was defeated, but what happened next made the players furious - the Forerunners conquered and captured the planet controlled by this expedition fleet at the time, and wiped out all human empires Clues and traces of the past existence of civilization, the survivors were forcibly degraded, exiled to another planet, and left to fend for themselves.
What a blasphemy! What a heresy! How bold!
The lowly alien dares to keep humans in captivity like animals. Do you think the Inquisition and the Order of Extermination are just a living wage? !
If the Forerunners of the player's era were not dead, the player might have completely destroyed the entire Forerunner civilization.
But...it's not like they don't have a target to vent their anger on.
That's the Covenant.
The Covenant is also an alliance of alien races. More importantly, they believe in the Forerunners and call themselves the successors to the Forerunners' mantle.
Oh, you want to inherit the Forerunner, right?
You should have no problem with the father paying his debts to the son.
Go to hell, alien bastard!
Duanmu Huai's goal was simple, to defeat the Covenant, destroy all Forerunner artifact rings, and then execute the remaining surviving Forerunner missionary who was currently imprisoned in the name of the Inquisition.
Let the forerunners know that humans are not to be trifled with!
The reason why I chose Reach is very simple. As mentioned before, Xinghai OL is a dynamic and real-time changing game, which means that it is different from ordinary online games. Because the time is different, the situation experienced by each player is also different. . In this case, Duanmuhuai certainly doesn't know what stage the Covenant and the UNSC will reach, and he has no ability to predict.
However, you can use some markers for reference.
The Reach Star is the symbol chosen by Duanmu Huai.
The dynamics of the war between the UNSC and the Covenant, and whether Reach has fallen is a huge sign. If the Reach Star has not fallen, then Duanmu Huai can just wait and see on the Reach Star, waiting for the arrival of the Covenant. If Reach falls, Duanmu Huai can then go directly to the UNSC's home planet, where he will wait for the Prophet of Truth and the Covenant Legion.
However, when Duanmu Huai led the fleet to reach the Star of Reach, the situation in front of him still surprised him somewhat.
After all, just after the transmission was completed, this system task jumped out and slapped him in the face!
[Emergency mission activation——Battle of Reach]
[This planet is being invaded by an alien race, eliminate the aliens and protect the homeland of mankind! 】
[Mission goal: Ensure that Reach will not fall and destroy the Covenant fleet]
Yo ho! This time... is a bit interesting!
Seeing this news, Duanmu Huai was also stunned. The Battle of Reach was considered the most important node in the war between the UNSC and the Covenant. It was the Covenant that won the victory and directly burned the glass ball of Reach. Most of the players came after this, and only a small number of players came in advance and joined the battle.
But they were unable to change the situation.
The reason is very simple, that is, the Star Alliance's super flagship aircraft carrier COS Long Night is too powerful.
According to those players, this battleship was extremely large, with a length of 28 kilometers. At that time, the first players to enter the starry sky had destroyers or cruisers, and they were simply unable to fight against such a behemoth. Therefore, the player was not able to destroy the battleship at that time, and was later killed by the NPC through the plot.
But even so, the UNSC and the players still lost the battle and had no choice but to evacuate. If later players join the UNSC camp, they will be told about the fall of Reach, coupled with the stories of the senior players, so most players are very familiar with this matter.
If it had been before, Duanmu Huai would have had some headaches, but now he was not afraid.
The long night is awesome, even my glory queen level is not just for free!
Let you, the Star Alliance, have a taste of the power of my pink bunny number!
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai also decisively issued the order.
"Activate the void shield, keep other warships dispersed, and the Eye of Truth locks the enemy's position! Report at any time!" Duanmu Huai is completely true to the Covenant warships. Don't look at the Covenant fighting UNSC and Sun Tzu. That's Because the UNSC has just entered the universe not long ago, the battleships don't even have shields, they are all armor-resistant. If they can't withstand the structure, they will die. The Covenant took advantage of the shield. To defeat the Covenant, the UNSC had to break the shield first and then the armor. At this time, it had already been crippled by a wave of firepower from the Covenant.
But facing the Inquisition, the Covenant does not have this advantage. Their shield technology is also very average. Naturally, it cannot compare with the Inquisition's Void Shield.
Of course, body shape is also an important factor.
In fact, in space fleet wars, it is common for flagships to fight each other. The reason is very simple. Unless there is some special mechanism, ordinary warships cannot break the defense of flagships. As mentioned before, there were Inquisition players fighting against the Long Night in the game at that time, but their destroyers and cruisers were too small to stand up to the Long Night's huge 28-kilometer-long hull, and they could not be broken in a fight. Defense, if the defense is broken, it will be difficult to cause any damage with this kind of firepower.
But Duanmu Huai's Pink Bunny is different. His Glory Queen is also 28 kilometers long, almost as big as the Long Night. Coupled with the BGF of the main gun and the modified light spear plasma turret and macro cannon, Duanmu Huai is confident that this sudden advance will not cripple the Long Night and give him the last name!
Of course, this is not without problems, that is, the Queen of Glory is huge and slow, and will be spotted by enemies from a distance. In other words, if Duanmu Huai rushes over like this, the opponent will definitely notice it and take precautions.
But... Duanmuhuai has web channel technology!
The Eldar have similar tactics. As the elders of the Ancient Saints, the Eldar can also use the Webway, and their cosmic battle is to use the Webway to hide themselves, get as close to the enemy as possible, and then directly travel out and attack them from behind. The enemy strikes hard, and then breaks away with another blow.
Therefore, the Eldar warships are very fast, hit and run, and cannot be caught, which is very annoying.
Duanmu Huai now plans to learn from the tactics of the Spirit Clan. Of course, with the size and speed of the Queen of Glory, it is impossible to hit and run, but... there is no need to run!
The reason why the Eldar chose to hit and run was because they gave up the Void Shield and focused all their strength on Invisibility.
This is like a cheetah, which is first-class in concealment and explosive power, but has weak defense. Regardless of the attributes of protecting animals, normal people can kill them one-on-one.
So Eldar warships are like assassins, fast, crisp and ruthless.
But... Cheetahs can sneak attack, and so can giant bears!
A black bear emerges from the grass and slaps you in the face. How can you still run away?
I'll yell at Demacia and you'll die anyway?
So Duanmu Huai decided to first send a reconnaissance ship to lock the position of the Long Night, and then directly rush into the network channel, rush to the enemy ship, slap it in the face, and directly destroy the pride of the Covenant!
Let them know that the Inquisition is not to be trifled with! !
At this time, the girls also came to the tactical command room. After all, they also knew that there was going to be a war, a space war, and everyone was a little nervous.
"Mr. Knight, what are we going to do?"
Lorena did not participate in the girls' "education course" last night, so she was not a little embarrassed like the others, but asked as usual.
"Nothing needs to be done."
Faced with Lorena's inquiry, Duanmu Huai shook his head.
"In a space war, unless an individual's power is strong enough, it is of little use. Well...you will understand what I mean soon."
At this time, the reconnaissance ship had also locked the position of the Long Night. The other party obviously did not expect that there was a fleet on the back of the planet eyeing it, and it was currently staying leisurely in the orbit of Reach. There was no sense of defense at all - Well, since you are so arrogant, wouldn't it be impolite if I didn't take the opportunity to drag you into an alley and torture you?
That's right, it's your fault, not mine.
Soon, Duanmuhuai confirmed the mark again and started the transmission.
The next moment, the fleet of the Tribunal disappeared quietly, and then—————— suddenly appeared in front of the Long Night!
Facing the equally huge giant alien warship in front of them, the girls widened their eyes in surprise, but Duanmuhuai just glanced at it and then issued an order.
"Fire."
The shining light spears and macro cannons erupted from the side at this moment, and then, the roaring beams and shells hit the Covenant super aircraft carrier in front of them like a torrential rain! !
In the blink of an eye, this huge battleship was completely enveloped in fire and explosions! !
