Chapter 269 The old commander’s decision
If a general attack is not launched at this time, the commander knows very well that the insect swarm will return to its original state before long.
So at this stage, he must find a way to delay the recovery progress of the Zerg.
He also knew that this matter was very difficult for him.
According to current intelligence, the Zerg army prioritized attacking their Taylor No. 1 stronghold, and then attacked their Taylor No. 2 transportation hub.
Because there was a starry sky beast on Taylor 1, he suspected that the bugs were frantically collecting resources there.
Although their civilization made very slow progress in collecting giant beasts from the stars, he knew very well that when bugs collected these things, their progress would definitely be countless times faster than theirs.
The huge body of the starry sky beast will provide sufficient nutrients for the Zerg, so it will not take long for the Zerg to recover the lost troops, and it is even said that the number will increase again.
And this is also the thing that worries him the most. After all, compared with the Zerg's reproduction speed, their warship manufacturing speed is simply as high as heaven and earth.
In addition, the Zerg are still so rich in nutrients, and there is no way to fight in the later stage. If you want to win now, the only way is to take them down with one blow.
"Although your reproduction speed is much faster than ours, to reproduce, you need not only resources but also nests."
"In order to allow the nest to absorb nutrients more quickly and increase the number of reproduction, your nest must be in the Taylor No. 1 area."
At this point, the commander glanced at a metal door behind the command room.
"If I use that super weapon at this time, I might have a chance to destroy the insect nest you set up on Taylor 1."
"And all your bugs in that galaxy will also be buried with the insect nest. If this plan succeeds, then you will only have the bugs from Taylor 2 left."
"If we want to clean up these bugs it's very simple."
Thinking of this, the old commander turned around and walked towards the door.
After passing numerous identity verifications, the door slowly opened, and what came into view was a corridor made of special metal.
The corridor was filled with various mechanical turrets. Looking at everything in front of him, the old commander slowly walked deeper into the corridor.
This seemingly inconspicuous corridor is actually the most defensive place in their entire Taylor civilization.
The corridor's metal was constructed first, the strongest metal they could yet create.
Except for metal, these seemingly inconspicuous small forts are actually high-energy particle cannons, and there are also a large number of anti-matter bombs buried under the corridor.
The corridor itself also has its own shield generating device. If there is a problem, the entire corridor will be protected by the shield.
And when the corridor is protected by a shield, if there is no other operation within 5 minutes.
Then all the buried antimatter bombs will explode, detonating the thing deep in the corridor.
And when that thing is detonated, the entire galaxy where he is now will be reduced to ashes.
Now the old commander decided to use this thing to eliminate that bunch of bugs.
The old commander was quite confident about whether this weapon could eliminate the bugs.
This weapon is of great significance to the old commander and other Taylors.
Because this weapon is the strongest weapon of the entire Taylor civilization, and it is also their last trump card in the face of powerful invaders.
They named the weapon the Annihilation Bomb.
The commander of the Taylor civilization did not know how powerful the annihilation bomb was, but he knew that the power of this weapon must be greater than all the weapons in their hands now.
Thinking like this, he soon came to a room of about one thousand square meters.
Looking at the huge instrument not far away and the golden ball floating in the center, the old conductor was also fascinated.
This golden ball is not big, its overall diameter is only about five meters, and it looks inconspicuous.
Perhaps if a golden ball like this one is found by other low-level civilizations, they will most likely treat it as an ordinary metal ball.
This sphere is so inconspicuous and unremarkable.
But the Taylor civilization, which has been studying it for centuries, knows that this ball has unparalleled destructive power.
Centuries ago, a fleet of Televan's fleet accidentally entered a wormhole, and in the wormhole they discovered a giant tower-like building of an advanced civilization.
And this magical metal ball was what they found inside the giant tower-like building.
And inside that huge tower-like building, they also discovered this strange ball.
If you know that such a huge tower was built to store a ball, then you don't need to think about how important this ball is.
So they brought this ball back for study. As the research deepened, they gradually discovered that this ball was not simple. There was a special substance stored inside the ball.
After many years of research on this substance, they discovered that it is a substance called condensed matter, although their civilization also studies condensed matter.
But their research is actually at a relatively early stage, and the most important thing is that the condensed matter in the ball in front of them is completely different from the condensed matter they are studying.
There is a very big difference between the two. If we insist on saying so, there is no problem that these two condensed matter are different things.
Although they did not study that special condensed matter clearly, after many years of research, they still figured out what the ball was like.
Obviously, this ball is a powerful condensed matter weapon.
The power of this weapon was beyond their imagination. Of course, since they had such a good thing in their hands, they must make use of it. Later, they continued to study it.
Finally, after hundreds of years of hard work, they mastered how to use this ball.
After mastering how to use it, this weapon was strictly protected by them as the last resort of civilization.
Not everyone has the opportunity to see this method, only a few people in civilization have the opportunity to see it and use it.
The old conductor is one of them.
Although using this weapon usually involves a very long process, today's veteran commanders don't have to worry about it that much.
As the commander-in-chief of the battlefield, compared to several other people, he has the privilege of direct use.
So he decided to launch this super weapon directly.
Because of the current situation, he could only do this.
Standing on the launch pad, the old commander looked at this perfect sphere and couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts.
At this moment, he understood very well that when he ordered this super weapon to be launched, it meant that the strongest trump card of their civilization would disappear.
In other words, if they encounter a powerful civilization again in the future, they will have no means to resist it.
His behavior might ruin the future of their entire civilization, but at this moment he decided to do it.
Perhaps his behavior was irrational, and there was even some personal emotion in it.
If he connected the causes and consequences of the entire incident, anyone in their civilization would think that the decision he made now was irrational.
The launch of a super weapon like this requires multi-party consultation before a final decision can be made, because no matter how smart you are, your thinking is limited.
It's possible that you've been blinded by a lot of things.
The commander in front of him may have made this decision not only because of the Zerg itself, but also because of the tens of thousands of soldiers who died in the Taylor II galaxy before.
Although the commander at this moment knew very well that his decision had nothing to do with those people.
But if his words were spoken, no one would believe them.
Although many times this process will take a long time.
But it is undeniable.
Different people have different emotions towards different things, so many people need to make a joint decision, because only such a decision is the closest answer to the right answer.
But the commanders of Taylor's civilization knew they didn't have so much time.
Now the war situation is very urgent, and he cannot allow him to consider so many processes.
You must know that the Taylor civilization is not only facing one civilization at this moment, they also have the Eternal Night Civilization fighting against them.
In order to deal with the Zerg, he dispatched most of the troops on the front line, which also led to a complete collapse of the battle situation on the front line.
Many colonial galaxies have been lost to the Eternal Night Civilization, and they have built defenses and supply routes there and begun to advance towards the interior.
Therefore, the current commander of the Taylor civilization is very clear that he must eliminate one of the civilizations as quickly as possible. Otherwise, their civilization will most likely be destroyed.
And now even if it is not a bilateral battle, there is a high probability that they will be wiped out by the Zerg, not to mention that apart from the Zerg, they will also have to face a civilization.
"Although my behavior contains some of my personal thoughts, it is not an exaggeration to say that I insist on going my own way."
"But now I have no choice."
Having said this, the commander-in-chief of Taylor Civilization let out a long sigh. He knew exactly what his fate would be after he launched the sphere.
He will be judged civilly.
He knew very well that he would be taken to court and put on prison uniform.
In previous battles, he sacrificed tens of millions of people in order to save those battleships. This act alone was enough to ruin his reputation.
The main reason why they did not attack themselves was because the current war situation in the entire civilization was tense.
They need themselves, so they can survive.
But he also knew very well that he would definitely not be able to escape punishment, and he would definitely be settled by Qiu Hou in the end.
I was already carrying such a big thing, and then I took such action.
Even if our civilization needs us again, they will not be able to bear it after they have done so many outrageous things.
"So, I have no choice. Even if I go through the normal process, there is a high probability that you will not pass."
"You will take my previous behavior into consideration, which will undoubtedly greatly increase the time of the entire process."
"And when this period of time has passed, then I am thinking that the Zerg may have recovered, no... not only have their combat power been restored, but they will also be stronger."
"So I must destroy them before they recover, although some of you may think that my actions are too cautious."
"But I trust my judgment. I trust my judgment. These bugs are just like the crystal bugs on our planet."
"Even if only one is alive, it can breed into tens of thousands of them in just a few years, causing irreparable losses."
Crystal worms are a special kind of bugs on Taylor's home planet. They are hermaphrodites and have amazing fecundity. According to the records of Taylor civilization.
When Taylor civilization first entered the industrial stage, it suffered a global crystal insect disaster.
That was also the darkest period in the history of the entire Taylor civilization.
All the crops were devoured by these bugs, and countless Taylors starved to death during that period.
Although this incident has been going on for a long time, people of their generation have never heard of this kind of bug at all.
But the commander of the Taylor civilization knew very well the disaster that this bug could bring, because his ancestors were the ones who survived that disaster.
And their families have kept very detailed information about that disaster. Of course, many families still keep the same information.
But not every family will let their descendants remember it. Most of them choose to forget.
Also because of family reasons, the commanders of the Taylor civilization believed that the disaster brought to them by the Zerg in front of them must be more serious than the disaster caused by the crystal bugs in the data.
After withdrawing his thoughts, the old commander of Tek Civilization issued the launch order.
At this time, as his order was issued, red lights began to flash around the building in the center.
Then some small red arcs appeared, and then the huge disk under the sphere began to emit a dazzling red light.
What was surprising at the time was that all the red light was absorbed by the sphere floating in the air. Not only that, but even the surrounding red arcs were also absorbed.
Then the commander of Taylor Civilization glanced at the console and saw that the energy in the entire base began to decrease at the speed of the naked eye.
This is the home planet of Taylor Civilization and the place with the largest ore reserves of Taylor Civilization.
In addition to being used as wartime consumption, these ores also have another function, which is to provide energy to the sphere.
As time went by, the movements here naturally attracted the attention of the top leaders of Taylor Civilization.
After all, the energy reserves of the entire planet were greatly reduced, and they quickly figured out the reason.
But even if they knew the reason at this moment, it was impossible to stop it, because as the launch order was issued, the entire operation process would be irreversible.
If it is cut off forcibly, it will most likely cause the sphere to become unstable and explode on the spot.
And once this sphere explodes here, their entire planet will not be spared.
So at this moment, even though they wanted to stop it very much, they were powerless.
At this time, inside, as the energy output increased, the sphere began to rotate at this moment.
As he continued to spin faster and faster, when the speed reached a certain level, the surrounding light and lightning became distorted.
By this time, the energy output in the entire area had reached its extreme. Countless energy was absorbed by the sphere, and then the rotation speed of the sphere began to slow down.
Slower and slower as time goes on.
Until finally it stopped.
At this time, this sphere is no longer what it looked like before. Now it has turned into a blue irregular light group.
Although it is emitting enough light to illuminate everything at the moment, if you look at it, you will find that its light is not dazzling.
Not only is it not dazzling, it is also very soft.
The old conductor of Taylor Civilization was also fascinated by this ball of light. It was so blue, just like the cloudless sky, it was so blue that it made people profound.
Then as the last energy was absorbed by it, the space was distorted in the next moment and it disappeared here.
Looking at the disappearing light mass, the commander of Taylor Civilization knew that it had set off, and its destination was the planet where the Taylor 2 Civilization Sky Behemoth was located.
After doing all this, the commander of Taylor Civilization could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, he knew that he had one last thing to do, so he took out a special communicator and pressed one of the buttons.
"Finally, I can rest assured." At this point, the commander of Taylor Civilization breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly walked towards the exit.
When he walked out of here, there were already soldiers outside.
"Commander Kotlay, do you know what you have done?" As soon as he came out, he heard a stern question from an old man dressed similarly to him.
"You should know me very well. After I make such a decision, I also know very well what I will face next."
The old man fell silent after hearing what Kortle said.
Although he didn't know why the old man in front of him would do such a thing in spite of the world's disapproval.
But he knew very well that there must be a reason why he made such a decision.
It's a pity that those people won't listen to this reason.
so. . . . .
Thinking of this, he sighed, then waved to the soldier beside him, "Take it down."
The soldiers who heard the order walked behind Commander Kotlay, but did not do anything else.
Because the commander in front of them had extraordinary significance in their eyes, these soldiers would not take him away like a prisoner despite orders from above.
This is respect for him.
Naturally, Commander Cortlet would not think about escaping or anything. He was seen walking slowly in the direction of escorting the spacecraft.
And when he passed by his old friend, he said softly: "The countdown has started..."
When he heard him say the three words "countdown", his old friend's pupils shrank slightly, and then he covered it up very well.
After taking a deep look at Kortle, he walked in the direction of another battleship.
In an intelligent civilization with independent consciousness, there are various individuals with different ideas.
Each of them has a different view on the same thing, and these different views also lead to their different behaviors.
