"Whoosh whoosh-!"

"Zi——!"

In the boundless space from Jupiter to Mars, the Birmingham-class battleships, after adjusting their formation, rotated their turrets, aimed their thick muzzles at the Celestial Being and sprayed dazzling beams of powerful light. The VLS and air defense arrays on both sides continuously poured deadly steel rain towards the ELS attacking from afar.

"Shoot! Shoot! Shoot them all down."

All the captains were shouting, asking their vehicles to cooperate with friendly forces in air defense operations.

If the ELS Tianren's air defense is a dense rain curtain, then the human side's air defense is an iron curtain that is so airtight that not even a fly can fly through.

The fire chain formed by hundreds of warships cooperated with each other in the starry sky to harvest enemies from alien planets. The effect of the composite air defense array combined with the AI ​​of the shipborne host was not as simple as 1 plus 1. The AI's reaction speed was as fast as lightning. Often, the ELS mimicry would be quickly identified as soon as it appeared on the radar screen, and the air defense array would be used for a rapid attack. No ELS mimicry could get within ten kilometers of the warship.

Even with the surface shield formed by GN, the ELS Regeneration Gundam, which has become extremely durable, will immediately use missiles and electromagnetic cannons to destroy it in a dense formation after being recognized by AI.

Wearing the thickest armor and enduring the most vicious attacks, even if the driver of the Transformer simulated by ELS is very skilled in driving, facing the AI-controlled fire control that can shoot wherever it is pointed and automatically block the maneuvering route, the outcome is nothing more than having the shield overloaded, and then being blown into a dazzling firework in the universe by the subsequent continuous locking and firepower output.

This shows that Xiao Renwuwu's idea is correct. Facing the annoying fly party, the navy's tactics may not be ineffective. The concept of professional fleet will not be outdated. I want both flies and big ships and big guns!!!

The idea behind the Higla Empire's space army is that the flies on their side need to have overwhelming space control advantages. The warships are more specialized, and the main battleships have powerful anti-aircraft firepower, including missiles, close-range missiles, laser cannons, and electromagnetic cannons. Even the Salamis-class missile destroyers can replace all their missile modules with air-to-air missiles, temporarily acting as professional anti-aircraft firepower ships.

It was precisely because of the dedicated space carrier Doros class that the other warships did not need to consider the carrying and logistical maintenance of MS or VF warships when they were built. In addition, with the help of a group of beautiful scientists, Xiao Renwu's technology tree did not make rapid progress, but he could start a project a day and the progress bar could increase by 10%. Therefore, the automation level of the warships was improved, and the number of crew members was much lower than the number of crew members of the warships built when he just crossed over. The empty crew cabins were no longer needed. In addition to providing better living conditions for other crew members, the extra space was converted into missile containers and stacking more and stronger firepower.

But we can't learn from the battleships in the Gundam series, which can do everything but do nothing well. They have no loadouts, no firepower, and their air defense has been weakened to a pulp. They even have hand-operated turrets, and then put a small piece of mental sensing frame on the seat, which is a magical operation, even though it is fought by new humans.

Even though countless people were killed or wounded under such powerful anti-aircraft firepower, and even the more precious ELS regeneration Gundams and new electronic warfare individuals were thrown into this meat grinder-like Shura battlefield, the ELS not only did not give up, but instead charged forward more frantically. The metal mimicry life forms knew that if the human beings' hidden weapons of mass destruction hit the mother core again, they would be finished, and they could only try to destroy the human fleet and force them to retreat.

The Higla Empire Space Army also thought so. As long as they could delay time, the Genesis Artillery Group could fire another shot and completely destroy the ELS's mother core, ensuring victory in the battle.

The two sides fought in the space domain that stretched for tens of thousands of kilometers, and lives were lost every second. Whether it was human warships or metal mimicry life forms like ELS, they all had only one thought in their minds, and that was to kill the other side.

Finally, an ELS broke through the iron ball's defense line and approached the human warship. This medium-sized ELS relied on its huge and sturdy body to withstand the anti-aircraft firepower, opened its tentacles and pounced on the warship. According to the previous hunting process, once it successfully contacted the opponent, there was basically no hope of a comeback.

But as mentioned before, Xiao Renwu installed explosive counter-attack devices on the surface of each warship. For a medium-sized ELS to rush over and capture a warship like this would undoubtedly be courting death.

The shrapnel and shockwaves from the explosion below prevented the medium-sized ELS's simple brain from reacting to what was happening. It only knew that its life was fading. The brain quantum waves sent back to its peers for analysis only contained a few bytes. "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much."

This lucky yet unlucky medium-sized ELS was not the first to die from the battleship's counterattack, and of course it was not the last. As the number of iron balls in front decreased, more and more ELS broke through the first line of defense. They were eager to erode and assimilate human warships to enhance their own combat power, but there were still MS troops standing in their way.

The MS troops, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately rushed towards the ELS, led by the new humans/transformers.

"Tactical Squadron 123 is launching a flanking attack on the fleet. Attention, allies." Li Abao zeroed in on the small ELS group and Regeneration Gundam that were attempting a surprise attack from the side. After reporting his position on the communication channel, he immediately assigned tasks to the tactical squadron: "Ghoul-1, Ghoul-2, follow me. Ghoul-3 and -4, provide tactical guidance."

Chapter 255: Destroying ELS 8

"3rd Fleet received. We will provide cover and fire support on your flanks."

Li Abao's request was quickly responded to by the fleet, which used its huge mountain-like hull and powerful firepower to provide support to the MS troops. The Mars Control Base also controlled the Iron Ball troops near this battlefield to come and provide assistance.

"Thank you!" Li Abao smiled and saluted the 3rd Fleet before switching to the team's internal communication. Li Abao's voice echoed simultaneously on the 123 tactical communication channel, "Squad, turn left and cut in. Repeat the turn and cut in. Let's do something big!"

"understand!"

"Ahhhhhhhh! The captain ran away!"

"What?!"

Li Abao, who was waiting to enter the battlefield, could not contain his extremely excited mood. He stepped on the pedal and increased the accelerator to the maximum. The backpack on the back of the Bull Gundam, which also served as a weapon mount, burst out with an extremely dazzling light blue tail flame. The powerful thrust pushed the dozens of tons of the machine to break away from the team. There, tens of millions of unmanned iron balls were fighting with an even larger number of ELS.

The willful captain sang a lively little song, not caring about the squad communication channel that was already in chaos because of his sneaking out. His vehicle seemed to sense the driver's passion, and the armor unfolded to reveal the psychokinetic skeleton inside that shone, symbolizing the light of hope. The Bull Gundam, with greatly improved mobility and maneuverability, inserted into the battlefield from the left like a comet out of nowhere, bringing a little shock to the ELS-mimicking transformer/transformer complex enhanced human!

The surrounding warships stopped firing at the right time, making way for the MS troops to pass safely. The addition of carrier-based aircraft allowed them to shift their focus to dealing with the medium-sized ELS.

The Higla Space Army's MS troops charged like a bird of prey, instantly scattering the ELS mimicry machines guarding the ELS Celestial Being. They had not expected the enemy to be so bold as to penetrate from the side directly into the face of the artillery fire.

The simulated Gundam and Iron Ball turned their bodies and rushed towards the eye-catching blue tail flames of the MS troops. They could not let the enemy get too close to the Celestial Being.

The ELS Regeneration Gundam does have superior performance, but in the face of the Bull Gundam and her driver who have fully engaged in combat in both large and small battles and have activated the awakening mode, the mimicked Transformer is completely at a disadvantage.

"too slow."

Li Abao looked at the ELS Regeneration Gundam in front of him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his arm quickly pushed the joystick. The Bull Gundam picked up the powerful rocket launcher as if it were his arm according to the driver's idea, accurately predicted its maneuvering trajectory, and then quickly pressed the attack button on the joystick.

Just like the white devil in a certain UC universe, Li Abao loves live-fire rocket launchers and is also good at shooting in advance. He uses three high-explosive grenades to maneuver at high speed, trying to avoid the GN particles that are scattered all over the surface of the ELS Regeneration Gundam that is rushing towards the Bull Gundam.

"What?!" The Transformer that ELS mimicked was none other than Crazy Li. Facing the Bull Gundam's incredibly precise attack, even he cried out in disbelief, "Are all the enemy Gundam pilots monsters?!!!"

Before Crazy Li, who was mimicked by ELS, could drive the Reborn Gundam to counterattack, two more grenades hit its arms, destroying its weapons and shield. Crazy Li still had some driving skills. Even though he had lost his weapons, he immediately controlled the attitude and nozzle, trying to adjust his posture, switching to GN cannon mode, and using long-range artillery fire to kill the pursuing Li Abao.

The gun was fast from seven steps away, and accurate and fast within seven steps. The two were less than one kilometer apart. The Bull Gundam quickly threw away the rocket launcher that had emptied its ammunition, and quickly picked up the beam rifle placed behind his waist with his right hand and fired a shot at the cockpit of the Regeneration Gundam.

A light green beam of light passed through the cockpit of the ELS Regeneration Gundam. The flames from the explosion engulfed the pilot, adding a small firework to the dark universe.

"Hmm? Up there!"

Li Abao, who destroyed the ELS Regeneration Gundam, had a flash of confidence in his mind. Almost following his instincts, he immediately controlled the body to raise its head, and the Vulcan cannon on the head fired two rapid chains of fire at the seemingly empty space.

Several plumes of smoke from the explosion suddenly appeared on the upper part of the Bull Gundam, and the radar also captured the target, which was the GN Fangs of the ELS Regeneration Gundam. They used the ELS propulsion method and did not have obvious traces like GN particles. It was obvious that another Regeneration Gundam had arrived, and it was still a very insidious character. However, Li Abao's reaction was unexpectedly fast. The GN Fangs were detonated before they even fired, and became cosmic garbage.

"Captain, the bazooka is coming!"

Li Abao is naturally not fighting alone. His teammates followed his pace. A Bull Gundam handed over its fully loaded rocket launcher. At the same time, EWAC Jegan also found the deployment position, an asteroid wreckage that was broken into several pieces. She will provide early warning and guidance for the team here.

"To deal with this evil, let's all work together!"

"Yes, Captain."

Five or six flying wing-shaped floating cannons rushed straight towards the ELS regeneration Gundam that was attacking by surprise. Such scenes were everywhere on the battlefield. The performance of the Bull Gundam was combined with the composite enhanced humans, leading a large group of assault-type Jegans to suppress the ELS mimics, and the fleet's sword reached the Celestial Being.

"The strike fleet rushes forward quickly and destroys the enemy's warships!"

The attack of the MS troops broke the stalemate. Xiao Renwu immediately ordered a full-scale attack and the fleet pressed forward. At this time, there was no time to worry about sacrifices, otherwise the ELS Tianren would open fire again and their warship would be sunk again.

The fleet group opened fire while advancing, compressing the ELS's maneuvering space, but doing so was undoubtedly very dangerous. The ELS wanted to erode and assimilate the battleships at all times, but the fleet remained motionless. The powerful anti-aircraft firepower network made them like hedgehogs, making it difficult for the ELS to approach. Now that the battleship group was moving, they had the opportunity and launched a charge towards the Imperial Space Force from all directions.

The Space Force was not to be outdone and launched even more fierce firepower to stop the ELS attack waves.

But no matter how tight the defense is, there will always be a loophole. A Salamis-class missile destroyer on the periphery had all its explosive counterattacks exhausted by the fearless ELS. In the interval between the replacement of the anti-aircraft missiles, four or five medium-sized ELSs wrapped around the warship at lightning speed, like octopus tentacles piercing into the thin-skinned and large-filled armor and began to assimilate.

"Warning, warning, ELS begins to invade the hull."

Bright red warning lights illuminated the sweat-soaked foreheads of the crew members on the bridge deep inside the ship. They operated the controllable gates to lower and prevent the ELS from invading.

"The front of the Sword of the Nymph has been invaded by ELS. The exterior of the ship is engulfed by ELS, and the lifeboats cannot be deployed. In the middle of the ship, the Marines and the Cyclops are organizing a counterattack!"

"Our engine has lost power, and the friendly forces around us are trying their best to fight back. They won't be able to provide assistance in the short term."

The busy staff still performed their duties even in such a dangerous situation, because the friendly forces outside were rushing over desperately, but unfortunately, in order to ensure the capture of the space army's warships, the ELS gathered a large number of medium-sized ELS and regeneration Gundam, and the Celestial Being opened fire again.

"Captain, we have no way to retreat."

The signalman stared at the radar which had not yet failed, his tone remaining calm.

The man called the captain fell silent. He looked around, taking in every crew member still at their posts, and then asked, "How much time do we have left?"

"Contact has been lost mid-segment. We have about two minutes left."

The communications soldier, who was staring at the screen, saw that several compartments in front of the internal bridge had fallen. He estimated the situation in his mind and immediately shouted out the situation.

"Damn it, he didn't even have time to leave a suicide note!" The captain made a small joke, easing the tension on the bridge. The crew members around him all smiled knowingly. They knew that the captain had learned this habit of speaking during his vacation on Earth 1. After the joke, the man returned to his usual serious demeanor when commanding. He said seriously, "Notice to the entire ship, overload the engines of the engineering team, release the safety, and detonate all explosive ordnance."

The man in the captain's uniform spoke in a calm tone, as if the battleship that was about to self-destruct was not the Sword of Nymph that was eroded by ELS. His eyes memorized the faces of every crew member.

The crew members responded:

"I guarantee you the mission, Captain!"

The engineering team overloaded the engine, and the maintenance team, with more than half of their personnel killed or injured, disarmed the missile container and activated the self-destruct sequence. No one hesitated.

"boom--!"

The power of the nuclear rocket propulsion engine overload explosion was no less than that of the onboard reaction bomb. Coupled with the fully loaded anti-aircraft missiles, the Sword of Nymph and the medium-sized ELS wrapped around her were buried in the rising huge fireball, and the surrounding ELS regeneration Gundams were blown away by the shock wave.

A bigger explosion occurred in the distance. The ELS Tianren was blown up by the main fleet's positron city-breaking cannons, and the ELS's defense line collapsed.

Chapter 256: Destroying ELS

"The 1st Fleet's troops are almost exhausted and need to be replenished urgently."

"The number of Iron Ball troops has dropped sharply to 30 million."

"In order to avoid being corrupted by the ELS, the crew of the Sword of the Nymph chose to self-destruct and sacrifice themselves for their country."

In the flagship Queen of Glory's combat command center, all the staff were in a hurry and sweating profusely. The commander's orders, the fleet's command and dispatch, and the logistics support were enough to keep the enhanced people busy.

Until the Salamis-class missile destroyer Sword of Nymph's dreadnought self-destruction, at the cost of all crew members' deaths, shattered the ELS's strategic intention to erode and assimilate the warships. The busy staff only stared at the screen and mourned for their comrades for a second before continuing their work.

It's not that clones are inherently ruthless, but if they stop and an order that should have been conveyed is not delivered, then the entire link of the space army will have problems, and the lack of connection will kill more people. Whether they are natural people or clones, they are all soldiers and cannot let their emotions affect the entire situation.

"Our losses are too great."

After issuing the order to assault the entire fleet, Xiao Renwu, who had remained silent until now, suddenly asked his adjutant Greena, who had been standing beside him and was responsible for paying attention to the details he did not notice and making adjustments. The man's tone was full of fatigue and heartache. The space army suffered heavy losses in this battle. As of now, six Birmingham-class battleships and fifteen Salamis-class destroyers have been sunk, and even two Dolos-class aircraft carriers located in the rear have been severely damaged, and have no choice but to return to the Mars base.

Xiao Renwu knew from the beginning that war would result in casualties. For this reason, he and his harem group discussed with the General Staff for a long time and made many plans based on the characteristics of ELS. Some of them were effective, such as attaching explosive anti-aircraft weapons to warships to prevent the erosion of ELS. Some of them were ineffective, such as the Iron Ball Unit being invaded and controlled by the new electronic warfare ELS. If Tessa had not felt that the enemy, as a civilization, although existing in the form of a metal mimic life form, might have electronic countermeasures, and deployed a quantum computer in the Mars Control Center just in case, the 60 million Iron Balls might have become the minions of ELS.

But it was too tragic. The sacrifice of the Sword of Nymph made Xiao Renwu realize that these dozens of loyal crew members died for him and for the safety of the space army.

Faced with Xiao Renwu who was trapped in self-blame, Greena did not answer his question immediately, but stretched out her soft hand to hold the man's hand, passing the warmth to him. A virtuous and caring woman would use her actual actions to comfort her partner, instead of letting the lover who once put the ring symbolizing the vow on her finger to limp away helplessly.

"You've prepared every possible countermeasure, but the battlefield situation is ever-changing. No one can fully predict the enemy's situation. That's something only gods can do."

Greena had seen too much sadness and death in that world, and had also experienced betrayal. She expressed her understanding of war. She didn't want Xiao Renwu to be too emotional, although she liked Xiao Renwu's willingness to save innocent people for his ideals and emotions. She continued:

"We are your sword and your shield. You are our commander. Everything we do is for you."

With Greena's comforting gesture, Xiao Renwu calmed down and hid the heartache and sadness deep in his heart. As a commander, he could not do anything for the dead, but he also had to protect the living who were fighting with ELS on the battlefield.

"Genesis satellite artillery groups attack the remaining ELS groups on the battlefield, and warships focus on attacking the ELS mother core. Our Higla Empire must completely eliminate these aliens that are hostile to us. Kill them all, destroy them all, and leave no one alive!!!"

Xiao Renwu cheered up and shouted to completely destroy ELS. His voice was heard through the communication channel among all the combat units still fighting. The morale of the space army, which was already indignant because of the destruction of the ELS Tianren and the death of friendly warships in a despicable sneak attack, was greatly boosted.

The group of warships charging at full speed formed a standard formation. The powerful firepower erupted from the line-up bombardment could not be stopped even by the Tianren, which was hatched again in the metal ocean. Before it had time to use the 80mGN beam cannon, it only lasted less than half a minute before being sunk again by Xiao Renwu's army, becoming a record of the space army.

The disadvantaged ELS group could only retreat to their mother core and fight desperately. They did not think of escaping through a black hole, or they could not escape with their mother core damaged. They knew very well that they had a mortal feud with humans, and the war would only stop when one side completely disappeared from this universe. Therefore, the ELS's will to resist became stronger and stronger, and small and even medium-sized ELS continued to merge together to form a mimicked regenerated Gundam, the Europa exploration ship.

When the two sides were fighting fiercely, suddenly, a bigger guy teleported out from the blue screen, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back for ELS.

The Higla Empire's unique hyperspace technology ELS is no longer unfamiliar to them. What they fear are the five terrifyingly large warships that are jumping over.

If the Birmingham-class battleships are moving mountains, then the newly emerged battleships are moving continental plates. They are super battleships with a total length of 1,500 meters and a weight of 1.5 million tons. They are also the absolute main force of the Higla fleet, the Higla battlecruiser.

The five warships that Xiao Renwu had not yet named were lined up in a row. Their exaggerated sizes made the Birmingham-class and Doros-class ships that were avoiding them look like dolphins swimming next to a blue whale. With a total length of only one thousand meters, they were truly the weakest of the weak in front of the Higla battlecruiser.

The battle continued without any accidents as the battlecruisers and Genesis satellite artillery groups unleashed their might. The ELS core was broken into two parts, and the remaining ELS individuals were pulled out and killed one by one. They had no idea of ​​escaping and all died under the artillery fire of the Higla Empire Space Army.

Xiao Renwu, who had a harder fist, paid the price of more than 10,000 casualties and more than 20 warships of various types, but he also completely wiped out the ELS, which was worth billions and was loitering at his doorstep and made him unable to sleep or eat. The newly deployed Shigla battle cruiser played a significant role.

The ELS subjugation campaign, which was a great victory in the eyes of others but a tragic victory in the eyes of the Higla people, ended. The entire fleet made a hyperspace jump back to the mother planet to rest and recuperate, leaving the people in the Mars control base to continue to control the millions of iron balls involved in the intense post-war search and rescue work. Many of the MS troops' Gundams were blown up, and the core fighters that became them were still floating on the battlefield and urgently needed rescue.

Moreover, the ELS corpses scattered across the battlefield and their broken mother cores are of great recycling value. The mining fleet of the Shigla Empire is already on the way. Xiao Renwu needs these corpses. In addition to recycling resources, the most important thing is to grind these dog bastard aliens who don't understand human language into ashes and build a monument on Mars for his sacrificed soldiers.

Chapter 257: Tribute to the Dying

The largest building complex in the capital city of Xihe, the Shigra Empire, and the royal palace.

It used to be dazzling and glorious, the most dazzling masterpiece of the first high-tech city built by the great Emperor Xiao Renwu. But today, with thunder flashing across the sky and drizzling rain falling, this palace, which embodies the perfect combination of historical charm and technology, seems to be covered with a layer of gloom and sadness.

The new Gundamium alloy steel used to manufacture manned mobile suits has now become a large metal monument. It lies quietly in the square that was once bustling with people, "coldly watching" the crowd of mourners wearing black raincoats. The names of one person after another are being engraved on the solid surface with a laser. The high temperature causes the water attached to it to emit white steam, like floating souls.

"Chen Lin, Rigel, Zhao Jun..."

The names of the soldiers who died in the ELS battle were engraved one by one by laser instruments on the monument made of Gundamium alloy. A total of 9,234 people from the Higra Empire Space Army died. The monument, which took several hours to carve and has not been completed until now, is enough to make people complain in the cold rain that God had to shed His tears of mercy at this point in time.

Of course, condolences are voluntary for the people. Xiao Renwu will not force those who have just joined his country to have a great sense of belonging. Xiao Renwu does not have the exaggerated golden fingers like the farming protagonists in novels, who can instantly increase everyone's loyalty. Being grateful for a little and then resentful for a big meal is the true portrayal of human nature.

The notice issued by Xiao Renwu was to mourn the fallen soldiers. The people who participated in the mourning could use sacrificial ceremonies accepted by the empire and adopted in their hometowns to express their respect for the deceased, and then they could choose to continue mourning or leave.

If someone really cried and wailed, even more sad than if a loved one had died, Xiao Renwu would have to doubt their motives. The space army is made up of first-generation clones, and their relatives and offspring are all the result of union with the opposite sex who are also first-generation clones. In this case, Xiao Renwu would send the Security Bureau to investigate secretly.

As for whether he was a filial son of Runren, Xiao Renwu didn't believe it. The country had only been founded for three years, and it was impossible for the cross-universe animal husbandry technology to develop so fast.

The people mostly expressed their condolences with flowers. They lined up in neat rows to offer flowers to the space soldiers who died in the vast universe. Soon, the metal monument with the names engraved on it was filled with flowers that were in stark contrast to the gloomy weather.

Unlike the common people who had a choice, the nobles and officials appointed by the empire were required to attend such a major event as mourning, unless they were unwell or too old to do so. The leaders of Xihe City all stood in the square.

Most people knew that mourning the fallen soldiers was a commendable act, but some people inevitably felt resentful about standing for several hours in such weather, feeling that their time was wasted, but they did not dare to show any impatience.

Because under the metal monument more than ten meters high, Xiao Renwu was also wearing a black raincoat, standing alone at the front. The sparks produced by the laser engraving did not make him move.

The reason why the officials were so honest was because Xiao Renwu was good at wielding a sword.

Several actions against religion, corruption, and private collusion to wield the butcher knife are enough to deter anyone with ulterior motives. The explosive suppressant Jegan who made a big splash in the action is a person who can stop children from crying at night in the Shigla Empire. In addition, the Shigla Empire advocates freedom of speech, but people must bear the corresponding responsibility for what they say. Any inappropriate remarks will attract a heavy blow from the Security Department.
