Chapter 792: The Ultimate Weapons of the Rota Empire (5) |
"They can't hold on any longer. Why hasn't the Marshal taken action? Once the front line collapses, it'll be too late for anything!" a general roared in a hushed tone.
He couldn't fathom what the Marshal was planning; they were at a critical juncture!
At that moment, another general suddenly spoke up, "The Marshal isn't here. We must think of alternative solutions. Do you think we should tap into the Empire's reserves?"
Instantly, all the generals fell silent, the channel becoming eerily quiet.
After a moment, a general spoke up, "Are you suggesting that?"
"Exactly. Aside from the Empire's ultimate weapons, I can't think of any other solution."
The Empire's ultimate weapons could annihilate an entire Small Galaxy with a single strike. However, their power was so immense that they had been sealed and remained unusable.
The problem was, without the Emperor's permission, who dared to deploy such a thing?
"Shouldn't we consult the Emperor first?" a general hesitated.
With the Marshal absent, no one could make a decision, but they couldn't afford to waste time at this critical moment.
After some discussion, they ultimately decided to deploy the ultimate weapons. If the Marshal and the Emperor held them accountable later, they would face the consequences together.
The location of the ultimate weapons was not on Rota Star but on a planet surrounding it. Fortunately, this planet was beyond the reach of the widespread influence of the Milky Way. Otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to consider deploying the ultimate weapons.
Three generals, acting as representatives, set out for that planet.
On this planet, there was an army stationed to protect the ultimate weapons, with a general at the level of a Large Galaxy in command.
"What brings you three here?" the general blocking their way asked with suspicion in his eyes, likely thinking they had betrayed the Empire.
"We're here to borrow the power of the ultimate weapons. The Red Alert Empire is too powerful, and we can't match them. Imperial Star is in great danger. We must use the ultimate weapons," one of the generals explained.
"You might not be aware of the situation on the battlefield. Let me tell you..."
They tried hard to persuade the general, but he remained unmoved, waving his hand dismissively, "Unless there's a communication or token from both the Emperor and the Marshal, no one is allowed near the ultimate weapons!"
The three exchanged glances and decisively took action. One general was no match for three, making the rest of the plan easier.
The ultimate weapons of the Rota Empire were, in fact, the planet itself. The planet had been transformed into a formidable weapon capable of unleashing a strike that could destroy an entire Small Galaxy!
Of course, once activated, it would take a considerable amount of time before it could be used again.
The three generals pressured the personnel on the planet to activate the ultimate weapons, targeting the frontline headquarters of the Red Alert Empire.
At the frontline headquarters, currently under the command of Les, he rarely intervened as Rota Empire generals appeared frequently. After all, his methods were different from humans, and prolonged involvement could raise suspicions. Revealing the presence of a Protoss member among the high-ranking officials of the Red Alert Empire would be detrimental.
At this moment, Les frowned. He had a foreboding feeling. Considering he was once a Constellation-level Powerhouse, even though his power had diminished, his intuition remained unchanged – a Constellation-level intuition.
"Something's wrong, very wrong. With my current strength, I have a sense of impending disaster. Could Rota Empire have employed some sort of tactic?"
Just as he was contemplating this, two unparalleled attacks struck directly at the planet where the Sub-base was located!
"Instant Upgrade Device, Iron Curtain Device, Absolute Defense!"
Les immediately activated these three superweapons, and the attacks landed on the Sub-base in an instant.
Boom!
A massive explosion sent all the fragments of meteorites in the vicinity of the planet flying.
The planet shook precariously, cracks appearing everywhere as if it could disintegrate at any moment. If it weren't for the Instant Upgrade Device, which elevated the Iron Curtain Device three levels instantly, this planet might have already exploded.
Les was drenched in cold sweat. If he had been even slightly slower, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
This was the frontline headquarters, and yet it had been infiltrated without detection. Could it be that the enemy's stealth capabilities could deceive the SpySatellites?
Les looked up, and there were two figures in the sky, the long-absent marshal and Zhenyuan.
"What was that just now? It actually blocked our combined full-force attack?" Marshal was full of disbelief.
For this beheading plan, he had specially invited Zhenyuan, risking the danger of the defense line being breached, to come here directly.
Yet, their combined full-force attack failed to shatter this planet, which was beyond comprehension. With their strength, a casual strike could easily obliterate an ordinary uninhabited planet, and a full-force attack could shatter a life-bearing planet.
Regardless of what they thought, the two defense superweapons could only be used once. If the enemy attacked again, the Sub-base wouldn't withstand it.
Les, knowing he couldn't match their strength, had to escape!
Just as Les was about to use the Hyperspace Teleportation Device, a bright light enveloped the entire Small Galaxy, surpassing even the stars within it!
Danger! Danger!
Les's intuition told him that this crisis was even more terrifying than the one just now.
"What the hell is this? What kind of thing has the Rota Empire come up with?" Les really wanted to cry. If he had known, he might as well have gone to the frontline to battle directly instead of enduring this anxiety here.
However, after he activated the Hyperspace Teleportation Device, he found himself still in place; the device had malfunctioned!
"Boss, save me!"
Su Chen immediately learned about Les's situation. He knew the marshal must have some plan, but he hadn't expected him to be so audacious, directly rushing to the frontline headquarters. Was this an attempt at the beheading plan?
Normally, if one side lost its most authoritative figure, chaos would ensue. However, the other side was unaware of the situation in the Red Alert Empire. Even if the frontline headquarters were truly lost, the morale of the Red Alert Empire wouldn't be affected.
While the marshal's appearance wasn't surprising to Su Chen, the radiant light covering the entire Small Galaxy left him puzzled.
"System, what is this? A new cosmic phenomenon?"
"Master, this is a superweapon used by the enemy. Its power surpasses the superweapons currently possessed by Master!"
