1838. Inhumane crime

"General! Particle Beam Lance is fully charged!" On the Eternity bridge, the adjutant reported to Lieutenant General He Ru.

"Don't shoot! Keep the battlecruiser on the opposite side." He Ru waved his hand, "This ship is moving forward, just attack it!"

He could clearly see that the battle had entered a decisive stage - Xilu people's fleet was completely unable to resist.

No matter how powerful Xilu people's drones and communication systems are, and no matter how weird they appear, they cannot directly influence the situation of the battle.

After Exploration Fleet's other warships and fighter formations noticed the power of the opponent's drone swarm, they all moved closer to Eternity to form a defensive formation. According to Lieutenant General He Ru's command, they each performed their duties and were responsible for one direction. These warships will serve as the peripheral Air Defense Circle of Eternity, making it impossible for the opponent's drones to attack.

And to put it bluntly, even if the more than 2,400 drones launched by the opponent are allowed to continuously attack Eternity, it is estimated that they will not be able to cause much damage to Eternity until next year.

After all, those drones are micro drones with a length of 2 meters. They can carry only that much firepower and cannot cause damage to the opponent's capital ship at all.

But the threat Endless-class Super Carrier poses to the battleships of Xilu people is real! Eternity The three-door Particle Beam Lance on the bow of the ship has been condensing and not firing, and remains charged. This is to tell those Xilu people that I have the ability to kill you again at any time.

Even if Particle Beam Lance is not used, the extremely powerful firepower carried on Eternity is unmatched by Xylosian fleet. Coupled with the fire support of Steadfast-class Cruiser and Dagger-class light cruiser, Xilu people's warships were destroyed one by one, leaving them completely unable to resist.

Their final struggle was to let the remaining drones attack the powerful Air Defense Circle built by Eternity.

More than 2,000 drones rushed towards Eternity like moths to a flame, but under the attack of the outer anti-aircraft firepower of the surrounding warships and the dense close-range anti-aircraft fire of Eternity itself, they were quickly wiped out in pieces. The advantage they had when facing Wraith fighter and Viking fighter before, but facing the towering giant Eternity, they have no resistance at all!

About an hour after the battle started, the overall situation was decided!

Xylosian fleet More than 2,000 drones have been destroyed. One battlecruiser has been blown to pieces, and another is dying and floating aside. There are still six 400-meter cruisers and eight 300-meter Light Cruiser, all of which were seriously damaged.

Those four aircraft carriers have not been attacked too much, but what else can the four aircraft carriers that have been stripped of their carrier-based aircraft do in front of a fully armed fleet?

"Particle Beam Lance, A turret fired a warning shot! Then asked the other party to surrender on the public frequency again!" He Ru said seriously.

One of the three bow doors Particle Beam Lance, Eternity, which had already been charged, opened fire immediately! The spiraling beam was launched instantly, shooting away from the opponent's only remaining battlecruiser! Even if there was no direct hit, the powerful energy attached to Particle Beam Lance directly melted a large piece of the outer armor of the battlecruiser whose shield had been damaged!

[Stop the engines, lower the shields, and surrender immediately!!] In the public channel, the electronically synthesized Xilu people language began to play continuously.

But this time, in the face of the desperate power of Exploration Fleet, especially Eternity, those Xilu people who had shown extremely xenophobic and cruel characters from the very beginning of their contact finally chose to give up.

One by one, the warships shut down their engines and lowered their shields.

Well, actually until now, they have no shield to lower...

Hangar Platform of Eternity opened, Huang Yehao and Cummings led the Fourth Legion warriors with more Marines warriors took off in a transport ship, approached Xilu people's battleship, then entered through the open hatch of the battleship, and went straight to the bridge to prepare to capture their Commander.

Among them, Huang Yehao took 100 Fourth Legion fighters and 1,000 Marines fighters and flew to the largest battlecruiser Xilu people on ten transport ships.

After Hangar Platform stopped, they only saw hundreds of Xilu people looking at them blankly.

Huang Yehao frowned, and he found that these 'Xilu people' seemed to be the kind that were considered to be female Xilu people in their previous anatomy research, which were smaller and thinner.

But in general, they still look like velociraptors or lizards, with beak-like mouths, short and flexible forelimbs, well-developed lower limbs and tails, and dense scales.

"It doesn't seem right?" Huang Yehao said with a frown, "If these Xilu people don't gather all their women and use them as labor, then there are other situations... subraces? Or subordinate races?"

Marines immediately took control of the scene and gathered all the 'Xilu people' together, leaving a few to lead the way. The rest asked them all to leave Hangar Platform and squat inside the warehouse.

1,000 Marines were divided into 10 groups to control each cabin of the battleship. Huang Yehao himself led the most elite Fourth Legion soldiers towards the bridge.

When entering the corridor, something suddenly happened. All I saw was a turret suddenly protruding from the ceiling of the corridor! The turret fired a strong current, hitting the leader 'Xilu people' directly! He suddenly screamed and seemed to be in extreme pain. After struggling for more than ten seconds, he fell to the ground with smoke all over his body and was already dead.

The first time the turret appeared, it was destroyed by a burst of Huang Yehao fire, which also sounded the alarm for him. He drove these 'Xilu people' to explore the way ahead, and at the same time, through the translation of Omni-tool, he asked them to take him to the bridge.

But one of them, 'Xilu people', timidly told Huang Yehao while gesticulating that they were not qualified to go to the bridge. If they must go, the electric shock device in the corridor will cause them to die in a very painful way.

Huang Yehao nodded and said, "Then point us in the direction and we'll blast all the way there!"

'Xilu people' nodded one after another, and their originally sluggish and numb appearance actually gained some energy? They seemed very excited about Huang Yehao's decision?

At the same time, the salvage ship taking off from Eternity also began to clean the battlefield. And when one of the salvage ships approached the wreckage of a 400-meter cruiser, the driver was suddenly stunned!

I only saw several strange cabins in the center of the cruiser. Due to the damage caused by the explosion, the contents of the cabins flew out...

Shockingly, hundreds of corpses!!

And these corpses are obviously not crew members! Because they are not Xilu people, and they are not wearing anything!

What's even more terrifying is that these corpses are withered, their postures are painful and twisted, and most of them have various tubes inserted into them!!
