Chapter 92 The Mighty Mechanized Legion Engages the First Fleet
At this moment, within the Emerald Heng system, the observation station at the edge of the galaxy is constantly monitoring the actions of the AI Legion.
At the scene of the Mechanized Legion, an observation device hidden inside a meteorite is transmitting live footage of the scene to the main base in the Emerald Galaxy.
"It's truly magnificent. When will we be able to have a fleet of this size?"
"I don't know. If it were before the Omnic Legion appeared, I might have said we'd have to wait, but now, it's really hard to say."
Why?
"Did you know that our technology is actually in a phase of explosive growth? New technologies emerge every day. By the time a warship is designed and manufactured, it is already outdated."
During such periods of technological breakthroughs, warships designed are often several generations behind mainstream technology. Therefore, large-scale shipbuilding is not undertaken during these times, as it would waste both time and resources.
Hearing his colleague's words, the officer nodded as if he understood but not quite.
"Alright, guys, that's enough chit-chat. We need to finish our analysis of the entire omnic army as soon as possible and hand it over to headquarters back home."
"Yes, sir."
Soon, the analysis report on the Omnic Legion was sent to headquarters.
Looking at this massive fleet, everyone felt an unprecedented pressure.
"Order the outer defense line to activate the gravity devices at full power to prevent small enemy units from boarding the enemy."
"Order the biological fleet to immediately proceed to the outer defense line, relying on the outer defense facilities to block the enemy layer by layer, and buy time for the central defense line."
"Yes, sir."
As soon as the order was given, the outer defense line was greeted by uninvited guests.
"Buzz!"
As the streak of light appeared, everyone knew that this was a situation that would occur when warp drive was discontinued. The outer defenses also activated their radars at full speed, constantly scanning the scene.
"Report: Unknown warship detected, locked on, confirmed to be an AI warship. Proceed with the attack?"
"Don't rush, wait for the enemy to get closer, everyone be quiet."
These are merely the enemy's advance reconnaissance forces. It would be absolutely foolish to easily expose our defensive firepower because of these warships.
"Only a few hundred warships? They seem to underestimate us. Have they finished analyzing all of these warships?"
"The analysis is complete. Among these warships, there are 100 frigates, 50 destroyers, 30 cruisers, and 20 battlecruisers. There are no aircraft carriers or battleships."
"Hiss, this number is going to be tough to deal with."
Looking at the fleet's configuration, even the commander on site felt a bit of a headache.
Frigates and destroyers are manageable, and even cruisers can be destroyed by deploying defensive firepower. However, these 20 battlecruisers, with their powerful armor and firepower, are a bit too much for our side's weapons to handle.
The reconnaissance fleet, having exited warp drive, also immediately detected the anomaly.
[Beep beep, scanning initiated. Civilized artifact detected. Analyzing... Analysis complete. Man-made object confirmed. Warning: High-energy reaction detected. Confirmed as a defensive facility.]
[Warning: Small biological warship detected. Combat analysis initiated.]
[Analysis complete. Target threat level is low. Data uploaded. First Fleet is about to arrive.]
The reconnaissance fleet of the AI Legion quickly analyzed the combat capabilities of the outer defense line and reported the relevant intelligence directly to the main fleet.
Upon receiving the data, the First Fleet of the Mechanized Legion immediately set off and headed in this direction.
The rest of the main force waited in place.
The Emerald Galaxy has abundant mineral resources, but its energy resources are largely untapped.
These legions are universally hated throughout the galaxy, so they absolutely cannot stay in one place for too long, otherwise they may be discovered by inspectors from advanced civilizations.
Moreover, compared to the activities of traditional civilizations, the activities of machine civilizations are the most unique and the easiest to identify, so the main fleet will not easily enter the Heng system unless absolutely necessary.
However, the main fleet will not leave, since one-tenth of the fleet is still on a mission and needs to wait to regroup.
The First Fleet, with its tens of thousands of warships, was more than capable of annihilating this suddenly appearing biological civilization.
The observation station, upon discovering that a large number of warships had broken away from the AI Legion, immediately reported the situation.
Upon learning of the AI Legion's actions, the headquarters immediately deduced that these departing warships were heading in their direction.
"It's obvious that the other side looks down on us and thinks it's unnecessary to send out all their forces. But they're right. Not to mention the entire fleet, just these 10,000 warships are enough to give us a run for our money."
At present, their methods are okay against cruisers, but they are already struggling against battlecruisers. As for battleships, only the main guns of small planetary destroyers can damage them.
This is still based on the premise that the opponent does not have an energy shield.
"Alright, all we have to do is resist for a year and do our best."
"Order the outer defense line to conduct routine inquiries after the enemy approaches. If there is no response, launch an attack without seeking instructions."
Although I know the Omnic Legion is no good, I'll try to be polite first, just in case there really is a chance.
However, it is clear that this "what if" scenario does not exist here.
Upon arriving at the scene and seeing these defensive lines, the First Fleet launched the first attack.
"Warning: High-energy attack detected en route. Shield activated, defending."
On the defensive line, the intelligent protection system reacted very quickly, activating its shield the instant a high-energy attack occurred.
As the energy was rapidly neutralized, half of the first wave of attacks was blocked, while the remaining half crossed the line and continued to advance into the void of space.
"Counterattack! Counterattack! Launch missiles! Main guns fire!"
As soon as the commander of the outer positions gave the order, all firepower immediately opened fire and quickly flew towards the first AI fleet.
"boom!"
As a series of flashes of fire appeared, some of the warships in the front row were instantly destroyed.
"The biological frigate will advance and quickly approach the enemy fleet to carry out a boarding operation."
These biological frigates lack sufficient firepower. Although they are intended to be used as cannon fodder, if used properly, they can play a very good role.
These bio-frigates are already packed with all sorts of bio-soldiers. These soldiers are specially made, capable of surviving in space, and possess formidable attack power. Even the armor of the destroyers cannot withstand the attacks of these bio-soldiers.
Once the bio-frigate can get close enough to the fleet to a certain distance, it can release the bio-warriors inside.
As the biological spacecraft was activated, 2000 spacecraft rapidly rushed to the battlefield.
"boom!"
Upon entering the battlefield, a biological frigate was destroyed by an enemy warship, and the soldiers inside were not spared either, instantly exposed to outer space. Some of those that were closer would climb onto the nearest biological frigate to hitch a ride.
Those that were farther away could only float in space, relying on inertia to slowly drift toward the AI fleet.
However, the biological warships weren't just taking hits without fighting back.
"Heh~ that!"
As thousands of spittle plumes shot out, these plasma plumes rapidly approached the android fleet.
"boom!"
With a series of explosions, nearly a thousand warships were destroyed.
Seeing this result, the headquarters was very pleased, as it proved that the plasma squadron was still very powerful and could easily destroy enemy warships.
The bio-frigates move very fast, but the android fleet reacts even faster.
Just as the biological fleet approached the AI fleet, only 1500 of the original 2,000 biological warships remained.
"Hiss~ Ha!"
At the stern of the bio-frigate, countless soldiers surged out and climbed onto the hull.
With the help of reaction force and their own airbags for fine-tuning of their course, these combatants are also very fast, almost as fast as space fighters.
At this moment, countless biological soldiers traversed the void of space and swiftly landed on the warships of the AI fleet.
"Rip!"
As the steel plates were destroyed, the bio-soldiers quickly entered the warship's interior.
However, these spaceships are intelligent machines, and their internal layout is very different from that of conventional human warships. Therefore, there are no corridors inside, but rather various skeletons intersecting and crisscrossing each other.
Within these skeletons are tracks, which are for the use of maintenance robots inside the warship.
"Activate the energy senses of these soldiers, locate the energy core, and destroy it."
"Yes, sir."
As the energy senses were activated, a huge energy core appeared not far in front of them.
"roar!"
With a roar, the bio-soldiers immediately cut through the obstacles, quickly clearing away any barriers in their path.
"call out!"
The bio-soldiers were indeed powerful, but the AI fleet was not to be underestimated. With a laser beam, it struck the bio-soldiers directly, killing one of them.
At this moment, the guard robots inside the warship arrived, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle in the confined space.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
The two sides fought back and forth, locked in fierce combat, and the surrounding fleets were in a similar situation.
However, as the number of troops in the AI Legion increased, the bio-soldiers were also struggling to cope.
Fortunately, the bio-soldiers on some of the warships that occupied the upper decks quickly eliminated the enemy omnic legions and then rushed over to provide support.
The number of biological combatants here is limited, because it is not easy for these biological warships to transport them.
So although they had an advantage in some areas, they were still cannon fodder for the overall battlefield. Time was running out, and soon, with the last biological soldiers being eliminated, more than half of the biological warships that had been engaged in close combat with the AI legion withdrew.
Seeing this, everyone relaxed slightly. The combat power of the biological warships was still quite strong. Next, they could let these warships rely on the fortifications and engage in guerrilla warfare.
