"Wha~----!"
In an instant, there was another 'lightning' of blue light, quickly sweeping towards the Flood fleet in a vertical direction.
Boom--!
More than ten Flood warships were destroyed by this 'lightning' attack.
Just two 'lightning' attacks caused the Flood fleet to lose nearly a hundred battleships, equivalent to one-tenth of its number.
And these 'lightnings' are exactly from the six Dreadnought Warship controlled by Serena.
Just look at the left side of Star Killer-class Flagship. The six warships are arranged in a small matrix, five in a circular array, and one in the circle. Just like when the matrix was used to open the portal, the five Dreadnought Warship are connected to each other by cyan-blue beams, and the beams converge on the Dreadnought Warship in the center.
The difference is that when the portal is opened, the beam emitted by Dreadnought Warship located in the center of the matrix is a faint blue light.
But the two 'lightnings' just now emitted blue light representing Forerunner Technology.
(In the first two episodes of <Halo Legends>, there are scenes where the Forerunners use Dreadnought Warship to form a matrix to destroy the Flood fleet.)
Inside the bridge at this time.
The edge of the second floor of the bridge.
Standing behind the railing, William looked through the giant porthole in front of the bridge and used his extraordinary eyesight to clearly see the damage to the Flood fleet.
"Without waiting, six Dreadnought Warships can suppress the Covenant Fleets infected by the Flood. They are indeed the forerunners of Tier 3 Civilizations."
Phew~----!
While William was sighing, the Dreadnought Warship matrix controlled by Serena fired another vertical attack at the Flood fleet.
See the situation.
William asked Halsey, who was standing on his left hand side, in a low voice. "Catherine, if you can crack this matrix technology...
Then can frigates like Paris-class and Rodger Yang-class also have the firepower of Dreadnought Warship?"
"Hum..." Halsey did not answer William directly, but after pondering for a moment, he raised his head to meet William's gaze and said:
"I have been deciphering the Forerunners' matrix and teleportation technology for the past two months. Both of these technologies require large-scale devices to generate. This is why Dreadnought Warship is unmanned.
The portal is more like some kind of space cutting technology, a cutting technology that is really like folding two pieces of paper in half and piercing them with a pencil.
In other words, it reaches the destination in an instant, which is several orders of magnitude better than the Federation's Wormhole Engine.
After all, according to the results of computer simulations, it can be known that when the battleship enters the wormhole generated by Wormhole Engine, it will be in a completely stationary state for up to three minutes.
Three minutes is enough for the fleets of advanced civilizations to change the situation of the battle.
Even the Forerunners can't shrink the matrix device, so even I can't do anything, I'm sorry..."
"It's okay, there's nothing to be sorry for." William raised his hand and gently touched the top of Halsey's head, and said with a smile:
"Wouldn't it be great if each fleet was equipped with several Dreadnought Warships? Conventional navigation relies on warp speed, and crossing galaxies relies on matrix, right?"
"Yeah." Halsey also nodded with a smile.
Phew----~!
Just after the conversation ended, the Dreadnought Warship matrix fired another beam attack, further weakening the Flood fleet.
And this kind of 'lightning' that emits blue-blue light can also clear the spore haze surrounding the Flood fleet, but the effect is slightly inferior to Kaisa's Bio-Shield.
"Boss." At this time, Carmen also turned to William and reported:
"The Divine Body troops and MS formation have entered the range of the Flood Fleet and are currently fighting the Flood Fleet. Will our flagship provide fire support to them?"
After hearing Carmen's report, William turned to look out the window and saw the Flood fleet that was already igniting a ball of sparks, and then nodded and said:
"Okay, Tactical missile, which fires the Hector 1 type warhead, will provide barrage support, and Gauss Cannon, Plasma Cannon and Beam Particle Cannon will perform precise shooting."
"Yes!" Carmen responded loudly, then looked down the bridge, waved her hand and ordered:
"Lock the enemy warship!"
"Quantity fifty-three, locked."
"Fire!"
Following the conversation between Carmen and the crew, many missile bay doors were opened above the Star Killer-class's hull, and then a large number of Tactical missile took off into the sky.
They turned ninety degrees and shot towards their respective targets quickly.
At the same time, Gauss Cannon with blue ray ballistics, Plasma Cannon with faint blue plasma, and Beam Particle Cannon with orange-yellow beam also carried out Volley of Fire under Carmen's order.
A moment.
The sparks of the Flood Fleet became more and more dazzling. For those who didn't know, they thought they were setting off battleship cannon-level fireworks.
Seeing that the battle situation has been decided.
William turned to look at Serena who was not far behind him, and said softly to her, "Serena, just let Dreadnought Warship maintain the defensive state."
Hear the words.
Serena's pupils returned to normal, then he nodded and said, "Yes."
However, just as Serena returned to normal, his pupils flashed with blue light again, and he quickly walked to the right hand side of William. Shen Shenghui reported:
"Boss, according to Young Master Ivan's report, the Flood fleet's resistance was not intense, and after suffering heavy artillery fire from our side, it actually chose to fall towards the surface of Craftworld."
"Falling towards the surface of Craftworld?" William frowned and said, "It seems that Gravemind has appeared again. The other party clearly wants to engage in ground combat with us."
"That's right." Halsey on the side also echoed, "Because of the existence of Templar Defender, our warships cannot conduct orbital attacks. It seems that it is a bit difficult to purify the Flood on Craftworld at once."
"..." William was silent for a moment.
Then he looked at Craftworld out of the porthole again, staring at the central area of Craftworld's surface, thinking for a moment and then said softly:
"There is a 'guide' on the large man-made celestial bodies of the Forerunners. If we can find this guide...
Then the possibility of eliminating the threat of the Flood is still very high."
"Guide?" Serena was stunned.
"That's right." William said quietly, "It's the Forerunner's Artificial Intelligence. It controls most of the authority of the celestial body where it is located."
"The vast majority of authority?" Halsey discovered the key point and said, "Does it mean that those leaders do not have absolute control over the creations of the Forerunners?"
"Yes." William turned to look at Halsey again and explained:
"You once said that we humans were the 'Recycler' finalized by the forerunners. Even the elites said so, so we humans should also have control over the core technology of Craftworld.
So, since that Gravemind wants to engage in ground combat with us, then we will engage in ground combat with it.
However, if I find the leader and activate Craftworld's comprehensive defense mechanism, then it will just have to wait for death."
With that said, William ordered Serena: "Serena, let Kaisa prepare, purify the divine body and MS led by Ivan, and let them return to Star Killer's hangar first."
"Yes."
