Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 126 The Fleet of a Type II Civilization

Meanwhile, similar scenes were unfolding across the entire surface of the planet, in various human cities and experimental bases.

Large numbers of human scientists and mechanics were gathered together and then boarded spaceships to fly into space.

During this period, although various financial groups mobilized the resistance forces to launch a frantic counterattack, it had no effect whatsoever.

Only then did those with a modicum of sense realize they had been deceived by this so-called imperial civilization. Even Parks, deep underground in the secret branch of the Hevag Agency, frowned slightly.

Has the empire's strength increased?

How could this happen so suddenly?

It seems that the previous empire was showing weakness to them, and the other side had obviously guessed the relationship between the Asars and the Type II civilization.

"It's going to be ahead of schedule!" Confirming his thoughts, he looked up at the huge World Tree image on the dome and sighed silently.

……

1320th year of the Yuanxing calendar

This year was later known as the "Doomsday Era" in the Yuanxing human civilization.

The dark starry sky began to shine as points of light flickered, the dense clusters of twinkling lights gathering a brilliance that at that moment even overshadowed the stars in the galaxy.

The next second, the points of light disappeared. Countless unfamiliar warships floated in neat formations outside the galaxy.

The largest of these warships is only a little over five kilometers long, while most of the rest are two or three kilometers long or even a few hundred meters long.

In the very center of these battle fleet formations is an oval-shaped warship that is six kilometers long.

Inside the warship, a slender figure fully armored with four arms sat in the main seat.
"Gentlemen! Our ancestral planet Lemuria has detected that the human population has reached the target, and the Ether Crystals, after our cultivation, have once again reached a mineable quantity. The AI ​​has sent us a message that the nascent human civilization has discovered the value of the Ether Crystals and is now mining them extensively. Moreover, unknown civilizations from other star sectors have also established themselves there. Therefore, this mission will likely be extremely difficult for us, but we must complete it. Bring all the Ether Crystals back! You should all understand the importance of this mission; we must hurry, otherwise, if the quantity of Ether Crystals fails to meet the Elders' requirements, I'm afraid neither of us will escape unscathed!"

“Lildan! I understand the importance of the mission, but shouldn’t we awaken those pioneers first?” Another heavily armored creature with four arms spoke, looking at the humanoid figure who had spoken earlier. “According to the data transmitted back, that pioneer race has developed self-awareness. And within that civilization, they consider themselves gods…”

"Gods?" Another four-armed humanoid armored creature asked with disdain. "Tubo! Even we dare not presume to call ourselves gods, yet these... creatures we created actually harbor ambitions to surpass us."

"Kanqi! They are artificial humans created by fusing human genes with our own. Don't underestimate humans... The greed and desire in their hearts are one of the direct reasons that made them the dominant force in the great war ten thousand years ago!" The first creature, named Lierdan, spoke calmly.

"But so what? Aren't we still like livestock in the eyes of humans, at their mercy to be raised and slaughtered?" As she spoke, another female creature with a somewhat delicate voice casually glanced at her slender thighs. "They can't cause any trouble! We are the only overlords in this sector!"

"Alright! Now... attack with all your might!"

"Yes!"

……

A dense, thick asteroid belt, composed of countless meteorites of varying sizes, blocked the path of the Type II civilization fleet.

These meteorites were nothing out of the ordinary for them when they visited this galaxy several times in the past to collect ether crystals.

But for some reason, they sensed a strange danger emanating from the meteorite.

"Send reconnaissance ships to explore first!" Lierdan ordered. Thousands of small ships, each less than 100 meters long, leaped out of formation and flew towards the asteroid belt ahead. Meanwhile, in the command center of a ship somewhere within the star system, Tie Hui watched the enemy fleet's warships sent out to scout the asteroid belt. A lewd smile spread across his face!
"Everyone, get ready! Focus all fire on the enemy's largest warship and take it down at all costs."

Tie Hui doesn't care how many there are.

Before the war machine of the human empire, all aliens have to bend over and stick their butts out.

What kind of tactics are these... just engage in a direct gun battle, board the ships and fight each other!

After receiving the safety messages from the reconnaissance ships, the commanders were somewhat bewildered. Logically, since they already knew of their arrival, they should have set up various traps and mechanisms in this asteroid belt, which was the easiest place to intercept them.

But there's not a single sound yet?

boom--

The sudden, massive tremor spread throughout the ship like ripples on water.

"What happened? What's wrong?" Ximis, the female creature, asked anxiously.

"Reporting, sir, our ships are under attack! Several massive warships are attacking us from all sides, above and below. The power of their attacks exceeds the maximum capacity of our shields! They…"

boom--

Another tremor, but this time the sound was like two heavy metal objects colliding.

"Retrieve the video footage and launch a full-scale counterattack!" Lierdan shouted the order. As the video was brought up, his pupils constricted sharply.

What kind of warship was that?
For some reason, a strangely shaped ship instilled a sense of fear in him.

A clear red light occasionally flashed through the gaps between the layers of rhomboid armor plates, like the red veins throbbing inside a giant beast.

The armor plates are engraved with dense patterns of sacred words, as if they were the result of a fervent religious worship.

At the top of its bow is the emblem of the Seraphim Legion. Looking back, the dense array of massive cannons along the long hull is awe-inspiring.

The Gothic buildings at the very back, along with the plasma tail engine, illuminated the sacred words and patterns carved on their surfaces. Even Lildan, upon first seeing them, felt as if these sacred texts were resounding with hymn-like chanting in the vacuum.

"Damn it! How can such an ancient-looking warship have such power!" Lierdan cursed angrily, but as he looked at the number of warships displayed in the video, his originally solemn face slowly relaxed a bit.

There aren't many! Even if they have powerful performance, you can still overwhelm them by sheer numbers of your own warships.

"Hahaha... Damn aliens! Taste the wrath of the human empire!" Malcado roared in the warship's command center.

"Charge into their formation and unleash a full-scale attack..." he shouted the order to the captain, then addressed the Black Templar warriors behind him, "Brothers! The Emperor is watching us! Annihilate the Xenomorphs!"

"By the Emperor!"
