Every Tactic-Boarding!
Upon assuming office, Cracked Jaw immediately took control of the fleet and faithfully carried out the orders of the High Councilor: to completely destroy humanity's will to resist while minimizing losses, avoiding widespread damage to the Earth, and protecting minerals and resources!
It has to be said, this is very naive.
The seemingly contradictory decision to both preserve Earth's mineral resources and minimize energy consumption is problematic.
It is clearly built upon the ultimate arrogance of the Supreme Council Elders, and even the entire Devourer Imperium!
From beginning to end, the Devourer Imperium never regarded humanity as an equal opponent, but rather as ants that could be wiped out at will.
Unlike Stone Tooth, Cracked Jaw was shrewd and keenly aware that the reason it had been chosen by the elders of the Supreme Council to become the new fleet commander was because it was willing to obey orders!
Stone Tooth is very powerful. He has commanded many wars against the Devourer Imperium in the past, and has achieved brilliant results with minimal losses!
But it is precisely because of this that Stone Tooth has gained increasing prestige among the new generation of Devourers, and even the majority of the entire fleet supports it.
However, the greater Stone Tooth's prestige, the more glaring it became to the elders of the Supreme Council!
No matter where it is or what civilization it is, there will always be struggles for power and profit, and the Devourer Civilization, as a sister civilization that is extremely similar to humans, has naturally inherited this trait.
If it's the boss's request, just agree to it!
Whether it can be completed is another matter entirely.
However, before the Cracked Jaw could even rejoice for a few seconds, it suddenly received a notification from the AI: "Cracked Jaw Commander, signal detected."
Approaching rapidly.
What's this?!
On the display screen in front of the Cracked Jaw, the AI detected several tiny signals moving at an extremely fast speed, approaching the Devourer Imperium.
If it weren't for the AI's reminder, it might have even ignored it, mistaking such a tiny, pitiful signal radiation for a few meteorites.
"Zoom in." Cracked Jaw stared intently at the magnified image, then, upon seeing that it actually consisted of several human warships,
He couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Hahaha, so it's a human warship? It's so small, are they here to die?"
Compared to the Devourer Imperium, which has a diameter of 50,000 kilometers, these warships are like a louse on the body of this steel behemoth.
Moreover, the warships were almost completely dilapidated and looked extremely ancient.
"Ha, such an outdated warship, it thinks it can break through our blockade?" This made Cracked Jaw somewhat disheartened. With a sneer, it issued its first order as fleet commander, "Have the outer fleet destroy it."
Hovering around the massive metal ring, the swarming, densely packed, beehive-like Devourer Battleship immediately locked onto the human warship that had intruded into the restricted area.
Then, several dazzling beams of light, leaving seemingly distorted trails, crashed straight into the human warships!
A dazzling ball of light exploded in the pitch-black universe!
Just when Cracked Jaw thought that the human warships should have been wiped out in the previous attack, the AI sent back bad news!
The dazzling light dissipated, and the human warship was still there, completely undamaged. The Devourer Battleship's attack was like a tickle!
"How... how is this possible?!"
Not only the Cracked Jaw, but even the fleet at the front line was shocked by this scene.
Their weapons are ineffective against humans?!
"Special energy defense devices have been detected deployed on the human warships; our attack has been blocked," the AI provided its analysis.
Cracked Jaw then realized that the human warships were all enveloped in an energy shield; it was that Energy Shield that had blocked their attacks!
"Use the Matter Disintegration Beam, quick!" Seeing the human warship accelerating towards them, Cracked Jaw suddenly panicked and hurriedly ordered the AI to stop it.
"Commander, please confirm whether using the Matter Disintegration Beam at this distance could have consequences, affecting the Imperium equatorial region and causing the death of 15% of the population in residential areas."
The Matter Disintegration Beam is the Devourer Imperium's most powerful energy weapon. Similar to the Ecological Decomposition Beam, but modulated with gamma rays, it is powerful enough to disintegrate a large warship in one hit!
However, using Matter Disintegration Beam at this distance would also cause the Devourer Imperium's ring to suffer aftershocks, resulting in uncertain damage!
Looking at the analysis presented by the AI, Cracked Jaw stared intently at the bright red numbers and the cost, and fell into hesitation.
"Commander, are you sure you want to use the Matter Disintegration Beam? The enemy is accelerating and is expected to enter the inner ring in 3 minutes." The AI urged it to make a decision as soon as possible.
But the more this happens, the more complicated the Cracked Jaw becomes.
"Let's not use the Matter Disintegration Beam." Ultimately, the hesitant Cracked Jaw, faced with immense pressure, chose to back down. "Use the defensive array, activate the Quantum Resonance Barrier to intercept."
Azure, honeycomb-like energy enveloped the entire Devourer Imperium's warships!
"I refuse to believe they can break in!"
Cracked Jaw wiped the cold sweat from its brow, quite confident in the defensive capabilities of this barrier.
This is a powerful barrier created by locking the vibrations between particles through the "Strong Interaction Force," which is absolutely impossible for humanity to break through with its current level of technology!
But instead of slowing down, the human warships seemed to go mad, accelerating to their limits at the apex, dragging trails of flame as they charged headlong into them!
"Are these people crazy?" Looking at this scene, Cracked Jaw found it hilarious. "Hahaha, they don't actually think..."
Could it shatter the Quantum Resonance Barrier?!
But, the next second...
The smile on Cracked Jaw's face froze.
Human warships were enveloped by unknown energy and seemed to vanish into thin air, suddenly leaping to the inside of the barrier. The "Quantum Resonance Barrier," on which so much hope was placed, became a joke at this moment!
"What happened? How did they get in?!"
The man with the Cracked Jaw looked terrified and flustered, with a vague sense of foreboding.
"Sorry, Commander Cracked Jaw, insufficient data to analyze." Even the Devourer Imperium's AI couldn't analyze something it had never seen before.
"Collision warning! Collision warning!"
"Target landing area: B-2, operational command and communication terminal!"
The human warship unleashed a burst of intense heat from its bow, melting the frontal armor, and then mercilessly rammed into the inner lining of the Devourer Imperium's warship!
"Quickly, send men to stop them!"
Even if the Cracked Jaw were incredibly stupid, they could guess that humanity's goal was to sabotage their communication and command terminals, attempting to cripple the Devourer Imperium's warships!
Meanwhile, after successfully storming the Devourer Battleship, Alvin stepped out of the landing craft, tidied his slightly disheveled hair, looked at the terrified Devourer civilians around him, threw out a Teleportation Beacon, and smiled, "Sorry, let me call some people over."
The Teleportation Beacon is highlighted, and a beam of light pierces the sky!
Immediately afterward, amidst the clamor of air currents, figures emerged from within, including Space Marine and Knight Mech, but what terrified the Devourers even more were the pure Silicon-based lifeform!
"Kill them all."
