Chapter 1448 Coming
A huge global holographic star map floats in the center of the hall, its blue halo originally representing peace!
At this moment, it was covered and swallowed by a deep red shadow that spread rapidly from the edge of the solar system, as thick and viscous as filthy blood.
The shadow moved with a speed that was terrifying.
Xiao Ce stood before the star map, his posture as upright as a javelin, his black combat uniform outlining his taut lines.
His face was half-lit and half-shadowed by the changing light of the star map, only his eyes, as deep as an endless black hole in the universe, coldly reflected that catastrophic crimson.
The deep hum of the Star Network Hub operating at full power was the only sound in the entire hall, and the data stream poured down the light screen in front of him like a raging waterfall.
"Your Highness! The crimson shadow has broken through Neptune's orbit! Its speed...cannot be locked! It is still accelerating!"
Da Lei's voice was a little hoarse!
The alarm lights on the monitoring console in front of him had merged into a blinding crimson.
"Energy characteristic analysis complete!"
The characteristics of the 'Star Hyena' capital ship are 99.8% consistent with those recorded in the Ice Cave Beacon and database!
The number...is enormous! An exact count is impossible, but it's estimated that there are over thirty capital ships and thousands of escort and attack vessels!
Another top analyst from the Tianji Academy spoke from the side, his voice trembling with disbelief.
"Trajectory prediction...Target area...West! Britain and Western Europe!"
The engineer in charge of the orbit calculations almost shouted himself hoarse.
On the star chart, a scarlet band of light, representing the predicted trajectory, like the scythe of death, precisely slices across the Atlantic Ocean, its point of impact pointing directly at Britain!
Xiao Ce was clearly surprised to hear these reports...
He had assumed they would come straight for them.
However, instead of heading west...
This scene surprised Xiao Ce.
At the same time, these people are being treated with some respect.
At least, these people aren't stupid...
"Morgana!"
Xiao Ce's voice was terrifyingly calm, instantly piercing through the barriers of space!
The system connects directly to the command center at the deepest part of the Western Polaris Factory via the Star Network Hub.
"Your Highness! I'm here!"
Morgana's voice immediately rang out!
The background is filled with the piercing sound of air raid sirens and the roar of troops urgently assembling.
Clearly, their defenses have been activated.
Her image was projected beside Xiao Ce, her fiery red hair seemingly tinged with the smoke of war, her heroic face taut, her eyes sharp as knives, as if he had already guessed.
"They...have arrived?"
"Descent coordinates, above your head."
Xiao Ce spoke succinctly, each word carrying immense weight: "The scale exceeds expectations. Orbital bombardment is about to begin."
Polaris Factory, underground facility, full-power defense.
Ground troops should disperse to pre-established fortifications, rely on these positions, and delay and attrition tactics. Direct confrontation is strictly prohibited.
Your task is to survive and record everything about them!
"understand!"
Morgana clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles turning white. There was no fear in her eyes, only burning fighting spirit and a sense of resolve to die for her homeland.
"We swear to live and die with the North Star! For the Prince, for the rear, we will buy time!"
She didn't say another word, and the image disappeared instantly, clearly indicating that she had entered the most intense battle preparation.
"Frank!"
Xiao Ce turned his gaze to another communication channel.
"Your Highness, is the banquet about to begin?"
Frank's gruff voice rang out, accompanied by the roar of heavy transport ships docking and the commotion of troops being urgently mobilized. He had clearly also learned of the situation through the shared information from the Starlink hub.
"The fleet is targeting the west. Your unit's coordinates are relatively far east, but still within the strike range."
Xiao Ce spoke very quickly, “Immediately abandon all non-essential heavy equipment! Utilize the port’s underground bunkers and submarines to preserve our manpower to the greatest extent possible!”
To coordinate with Morgana's flank control, but preserving strength is the top priority! Xiao Dingshan and his three companions have been moved to the deepest, safest bunker and are under close guard; they are still useful.
"Yes, Your Highness! Don't worry, I'm tough!"
Frank roared, and then the communication was cut off.
The command has been issued.
Xiao Ce's gaze returned to the rapidly expanding global star map.
That deep red shadow had broken through the Earth's magnetosphere, and the massive silhouette of the ship began to clearly appear outside the atmosphere.
"Star Network Hub, highest authority."
Mobilize all satellites, ground radars, deep-sea sonar, and global detection nodes.
I want to see every single detail of their arrival.
Xiao Ce's voice was like a frozen command.
The eerie blue light emanating from the core of the Star Network Machine suddenly intensified, its computing power being squeezed to its limit.
Instantly, the main light screen in the control hall was split into countless images.
From different angles, distances, and wavelengths, it captures the impending apocalyptic scene on the western horizon from all angles!
East of the British Isles, above the junction of the North Sea and the English Channel.
The originally gray and white clouds were suddenly and violently torn apart and pushed apart by an invisible force, forming a huge hole with a diameter of tens of kilometers.
Immediately afterwards, the space itself seemed to be violently twisted and folded by an invisible giant hand.
...
Countless blinding, dark red lights, seemingly from hell, pierced the sky first!
Boom... Rumble...!!
Not just one sound, but a massive, muffled roar, millions of sounds overlapping, powerful enough to shatter the soul!
That wasn't an explosion of air, but a terrifying wail as the spatial structure was violently ripped open and the atmosphere was instantly ionized, compressed, and ignited!
The entire surface of Western Europe felt a strong tremor at that moment, as if the earth was shaking in fear.
Under the gaze of countless eyes frozen in terror below, and captured by the cold lens of the Star Network Hub, the colossal steel beast that blotted out the sky descended!
The first to pierce the edge of the cloud cave were countless tiny fighter jets, like bloodthirsty locusts.
They were entirely black, with grotesque, razor-like shapes, their wings twisted into irregular sharp angles, and their engines spewing out streams of eerie blue particles.
Their numbers are countless, and their appearance is like a black tide of death!
In an instant, it covered the entire sky as far as the eye could see, emitting a sharp, piercing buzz like the flapping of wings of millions of metal insects, blocking out the sunlight and turning daytime into a steel twilight!
Following closely behind was a truly colossal creature.
One, two, three...
A total of twelve giant landing ships, each over five kilometers long and resembling moving mountains, slowly descended from the center of the distorted space.
Their appearance is like a combination of a deep-sea behemoth and an industrial furnace, with thick, rough armor plates, sharp rams, and menacing turrets.
Dark red energy veins flowed across the surface of the ship, like magma surging beneath cooled volcanic rock.
The massive hatch, like the gaping maw of an abyss, slowly opened on the ship's belly, revealing a dense array of combat units gleaming with a cold red light.
They are like steel islands suspended in the air, casting shadows that instantly cover the vast land and sea below.
Between and above the landing ships are various types of attack ships, which are slightly smaller in size but much more numerous.
Like piranhas guarding a school of sharks, they dart nimbly through the water.
The ship's various menacingly shaped gun barrels, missile launchers, and energy weapon focusing arrays gleamed with stored energy, and a chilling killing intent poured down as if it were a tangible force.
At the very top of this torrent of steel, above the churning, eerily purplish-red clouds, an even larger, more despairing silhouette loomed in the distance.
That was the bow of the flagship "Abyssal Roar".
Even with only the tip of the iceberg visible, the enormous, suffocating ram and the massive main cannon muzzle gleaming like the eye of an abyss were enough to completely shatter any gazer's will to resist.
It was like a god of destruction suspended in the clouds, coldly overlooking the land that was about to become a purgatory.
