Chapter 2774?()σSince it can’t solve the problem, then just solve it yourself
When the flagship 'Noxus' and the more than 300 battlecruisers 'sinked' the Canopy Star and floated in the vast sea area south of the mine base, including the flagship 'Noxus'
All the warships included opened their shields in fear and uneasiness, preparing to meet the enemy's orbital bombardment that might come at any time. When a large number of troops were dispatched from the fleet and quickly took over the ruins of the city in the southern continent,
When the more than 300 marines finally breathed a sigh of relief, Darius, as the supreme commander, hurried back to the command center of the mine base and finally saw a certain troubled boy inside.
Girl heads.
However, when he just met his head of state Anne, before he had time to ask about certain things, Darius first took over a copy of the emperor's personal information from the Terra Empire from an officer next to the head of state.
Letter of persuasion to surrender.
"Well?"
"Another surrender letter?"
"Tsk!"
"Now that both sides are fighting to this extent, do they still want to do this?"
At first glance, Darius couldn't help but be a little surprised by the conspicuous desk above the document.
"etc!"
"Emperor of Terra?"
"Is it really sent in the name of the Emperor of Terra?"
But soon, Darius was slightly shocked by the signature above, and finally understood why such a thing appeared at this time.
"He's here so soon?"
"Earlier than scheduled?"
Then, while he was surprised and muttering to himself, he thought for a while and had to hold back his original idea of ​​asking his head of state something, and instead began to browse quickly:
——————
To the planetary government of Huagai and the Federation of Heroes of the Koprulu Sector:
I am the emperor of the Terra Empire, and I control the vast galaxy. Maybe you should have heard of my name and some of my deeds, so I won’t go into details here.
So far, I have led the Great Crusade Fleet and countless Astartes Space Marines to conquer countless planets and recovered countless lost human colonial worlds and home planets. Wherever I go, I surrender.
Now, Terra and humanity are rising again in the Milky Way, and the influence of the subspace storm is gradually fading. Human colonies that have been isolated for thousands of years will also be recovered. Humanity will surely gather under the same banner again.
Under one regime!
Now, I am here, in the Taiwei Galaxy, and have officially set my sights on you - the Huagai Star and the Federation of Heroes from the Koprulu Sector.
I know that you have considerable strength, unyielding courage and firm determination, but please believe that those you rely on are just futile and meaningless wails in front of our Great Expedition Fleet.
Any existence that once tried to block our progress has now become dust in the universe.
And the reason why I asked people to write this letter of surrender today is not out of my kindness, but just because I don’t want to see more human beings in ruins, and I don’t want to see more planets ravaged by war.
That's all.
I hope you can recognize the situation clearly, respond as soon as possible and send representatives to our ship to discuss matters related to unconditional surrender and joining the empire for the sake of your planet and people.
Once you refuse and choose to continue to resist, then what awaits you will be ruthless fire, and everything you have seen will be reduced to nothing.
I hope you can see the situation clearly and don't give up on the long-term peace and prosperity of mankind just because of temporary gains and losses.
This is an ultimatum issued in the name of the Emperor. It is your only choice and your only way out.
Please do not try to challenge my patience and sincerity, and do not underestimate the power and determination of the empire!
Terra Empire, Emperor

"..."
Soon, Darius finished reading it, then slowly closed the holographic document before looking at a certain troubled little girl.
"Führer, do you want to contact them?"
"It can be seen that although some of the words are still very harsh and condescending, compared to the previous Horus, this emperor seems to have more sincerity?"
While asking and evaluating, Darius couldn't help but subconsciously frowned.
Because he knows better than anyone else that there is no point in making contact at this time. After all, their fleet has just sunk into the Huagai Star. Now they are just meat on other people's chopping boards. It is probably not enough to contact and negotiate.
It is just humiliating itself, and there is no room for negotiation or bargaining chips left.
Furthermore, there is an old saying that is actually very good, that is: ‘A weak country has no diplomacy’?
But now, Huagai Star is a veritable "weak country". They don't even have the last fleet and the last confidence.
The last thing is that they never seem to have the intention to surrender and join Terra, not before, not now, and never in the future!
"To contact them?"
()
"No!"
(˙o˙)
Anne was not stupid. Of course, she knew that running to negotiate at this time was just a waste of time, so she quickly denied and waved her little hand, and led Darius to the other side of the command center.
"I just asked them to show it to you. I don't have time to negotiate with that bastard Emperor of Terra!"
(-)
Of course, the most important thing is that she is afraid of trouble, and now it is too late even if she wants to negotiate, and her plan will be implemented soon.
"I see!"
After hearing this and seeing that the head of state did not make any trouble at this time, Darius could not help but feel a little relieved.
"Almost forgot!"
"The Führer!"
"Now, according to your order, we have parachuted all our warships and all bases and personnel outside the Huagai planet to the planet again. We are currently staying in the southern sea area."
"Can I ask a question..."
"What are your next plans, and what are we going to do?"
Although he is very reassured about his head of state, it is definitely impossible for him to say that he is not worried, uneasy, and trembling with his behavior of abandoning his martial arts and seeking death!
Therefore, after meeting the head of state, I thought about the Horus fleet that would turn back at any time, and that it might take less than three or two hours to get the fleet that I had managed to put together for several months and my precious flagship Noxar.
With the Si included, he would soon be blown up into a pile of broken copper and scrap metal by the opponent's orbital bombardment. He felt that seconds were flying by like a year, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. He just wanted to get there as soon as possible.
He got an answer from his own head of state that completely put him at ease.
"You want to know?"
()
Hearing this, Annie, who was walking forward, stopped and turned to glance at him playfully.
"certainly!"
"Please let the head of state inform you!"
"Then I can explain it to the officers and make them feel more at ease?"
Darius didn't talk nonsense, he spoke straightforwardly, and openly admitted the fact that he couldn't feel at ease at this moment, and neither could the officers.
"But I don't want to tell you now!"
(-)
However, seeing the other person's behavior, Annie, who was very playful, suddenly started to take advantage of it, winking playfully and laughing strangely at the other person's astonished expression.
"That's a secret!"
()hey-hey
If the other party was indifferent, she might not be able to help but explain it in advance and make a fuss. However, if the other party looked so impatient and took the initiative to ask, she just didn't want to say it and said
Be prepared to keep the secret until the last moment.
Although the last moment was quick, but anyway, her temper was so bad, she just wanted to see them look like they were obviously anxious, but there was nothing they could do to her!
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"..."
Come on!
Upon seeing this, Darius was immediately speechless. The corners of his mouth and eyes couldn't help but twitch, and he didn't know what to say.
"Is it that city in the south?"
"I heard that you took Dutch and the others to capture an underground facility, and then spent nearly three days modifying a giant sacrificial circle?"
"But what's the use of that?"
However, Darius is the de facto supreme commander of the Huagai Star after all, and he also immediately sent troops to capture and completely control the important city ruins after the fleet 'sinked' the Huagai Star. Therefore, even if
Even if it was his own head of state, he could probably guess that it must be related to that thing.
However, he did not understand the specific methods of his head of state, and did not know what the other party had to do to enable himself and the Huagai Star to perfectly avoid the Horus Fleet and the main force of the Emperor's Great Expedition Fleet, as the other party had promised him before.
And buy yourself enough development time and environment.
Is it possible that the Head of State will take the initiative to release more warp demons and let them entangle the Horus fleet and the main force of the Terra Emperor's Great Expedition Fleet?
"ha!"
(*^▽^*)
"I won't tell you!"
(`)~
Anne did not deny the other party's speculation, but at the same time she did not admit or reveal more.
"Anyway, you will know soon!"
╭()
She just smiled mysteriously and walked forward happily and bouncing again, preparing to go to a command room further inside the command center that could directly issue orders and control various departments on the entire Canopy Star.
"..."
Seeing this, Darius sighed and felt helpless. He did not continue to ask questions. He just frowned and reluctantly continued to follow his head of state. Then he was not in the mood to talk to those who saw him and the head of state.
The officers who then took the initiative to salute and say hello.
"correct!"
(′ o′)
"That big project in the Necrontyr Necron camp should be completed by now, right?"
(_)
Suddenly, a certain naughty little head of state who was jumping up and down in front stopped again, turned his head and asked Darius in a crisp voice, who didn't know what he was thinking.
"Well..."
Seeing the head of state suddenly asking about that matter, Darius couldn't help but be a little surprised and stunned.
"Well……"
"It should be finished, right?"
"After all, it's been such a long time..."
?????55.?????
After pondering and estimating for a while, Darius quickly nodded, thinking that the Geller force field project should be completed in terms of time.
"But what's the use?"
"We don't have any use for that thing anymore."
Then he asked with some confusion, wondering why his head of state suddenly asked about that matter.
In his opinion, if the main fleet of the Emperor and the Terran Empire's Great Crusade did not come, and if there was only the Horus fleet in the Taiwei system, the Necrontyr Necron Tomb and the layout inside would definitely be of great use.
, even the key to the success of their previous plan!
But now the situation is different. After learning that the Emperor and the main force of the Great Expedition Fleet are coming, that plan has been shelved, and the layout of the Necrontyr Necrons has been directly discarded by him as useless, even recently
I've never asked.
“Very useful!”
(_)
"very useful!"
(`)
But specifically how it works, Anne doesn't want to say too much.
"oh?"
Darius couldn't help but be a little surprised. He didn't expect that the thing they abandoned could still be used, and it sounded like the head of state attached great importance to it?
"Then how to use it specifically?"
So, he hurriedly asked.
"I won't tell you!"
()
However, a certain troubled little girl head of state was still not prepared to say too much.
"You'll find out later anyway!"
(￣▽￣)~*
"hey-hey……"
(**)
She just laughed strangely under the expectant and hopeful eyes of the other party, and then continued to skip forward.
"strangeness!"
"Is it possible that there is some connection between the Geller force field and the magic circle?"
"The distance between the two is so far, it shouldn't be that big..."
"What's the use?"
"Well……"
Staring at the retreating figure of his head of state, Darius frowned again and began to rack his brains.
"Ah!"
"Forget it, we'll find out soon anyway!"
After a long time, he still couldn't figure out the key to it, so he simply stopped thinking about it, then shook his head with some emotion, and hurriedly continued to chase his head of state, wanting to see what the other party was going to do later.
After all, according to what the head of state just said, the answer to the mystery should be revealed soon, probably within two or three hours, that is, before the Horus fleet returns to the orbit of the Pagoda Star and launches an attack?
…
soon!
Three hours later.
As expected, the Horus fleet returned to the Pagoda Star. Then, in addition to suspending and evacuating most of the landing forces in accordance with the Emperor's instructions, they also deployed hundreds of warships to Darius and the others.
In the sky above the "sinking" area of ​​more than 300 warships, they opened the muzzle of the macro cannon aggressively, preparing to attack those "sinking" ships that had toyed with them for a long time and caused a lot of casualties to their fleet.
The battleship executed an orbital strike, paralyzing the only resistance on the Huagai Star in one fell swoop.
However……
At this moment, something they never expected happened.
Fate played a huge joke on them at this moment!
At that critical moment, when Horus's fleet macroguns and light spears had just been charged, when they were about to start orbital bombardment and attack those floating on the sea who could only open their shields in vain and prepare to resist.
When the cruisers went to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish, suddenly, bursts of strange subspace energy quickly spread on the Canopy Star, and every inch of land and every wisp of air on the Canopy Star was involved.
, not long after, before everyone could react, the entire Huagai Star suddenly disappeared?
That’s right!
Just disappeared, literally!
Huagai Star...
How could such a big planet, with a total mass of seventy trillion tons, disappear so inexplicably?
It was as if it had never existed, completely wiped out from all of their sights. The prosperous life planet that originally existed in orbit, the planet that had been tormented by war and subspace demons, was at this moment.
It instantly became nothingness, leaving only a dark and silent vacuum of space.
At the same time, the Horus fleet that was originally gathered in the orbit above the Huagai star was instantly confused due to the sudden disappearance of the planet. The sudden disappearance of gravity caused their ships, especially those in synchronous orbit, to
The ship shook violently and swayed.
Some even broke off in the air due to the disappearance of gravity and the breaking of the balance of force, or their speed and vector lost control and violently collided with the nearest friendly ship, causing flames to instantly appear one after another in this silent void.
flashes.
"!!"
"not good!"
"It's a gravitational shock!"
"quick!"
"Notify the entire fleet!"
"Prepare for impact!"
"spread!"
"Let them all disperse!"
"Be on guard!"
"We encountered a gravity attack!"
"repeat!"
"My fleet has been attacked by gravity!!!"
It was not until this moment that the officers who had managed to stand firm in the chaos and shock on the huge bridge of the flagship of the Horus fleet, the 'Vengeful Spirit', finally realized and began to respond urgently.
The entire fleet issued orders one after another, and at the same time began to give orders hysterically.
"Report——"
"Report to the legion commander!"
"Huagai Star, it...it disappeared!"
"That's not a cover-up!"
"It's not some invisible technology, it's really disappearing!"
"We cannot detect any original gravity of the planet!"
"It, it's really gone!"
"besides!"
"The entire system of the Taiwei galaxy has also experienced terrible gravitational chaos. The balance has been broken. We must leave quickly!"
"Legion Commander!"
"Please give the order!"
Immediately afterwards, after the situation gradually improved, a Luna Wolves Astartes officer ran to Horus with a cold sweat on his face and reported anxiously loudly.
That’s right!
The current problem is no longer as simple as the disappearance of a Canopy star and the gravitational shock to their fleet, but a series of major problems and changes brought about by the disappearance of the Canopy star, especially since their fleet is still at the focus of gravitational runaway.
Such a bad situation!
Next, they can foresee that due to the disappearance of the Canopy Star, the Taiwei Galaxy, which has been running stably for countless billions of years, will undergo a huge orbit change and shock. This is not like the usual situation where their fleet smashes or destroys a planet.
Simple!
You must know that no matter whether a planet is shattered or destroyed, its material will still remain in its original orbit, and the overall gravitational coefficient will not change much.
But now, the humans in those star regions and Huagai Star don't know what they did. They directly 'took away' an entire planet in an instant. Then, the huge material disappeared instantly, and a series of gravitational forces followed.
Problems with astronomy are fatal and confusing. At this time, their best thing to do is to turn on the engine and leave at full speed, directly running outside the tiny galaxy, otherwise it will be too late.
"..."
However, the Primarch Horus did not answer.
He just stood in the command room of the flagship in a daze, staring intently and absently at the location that once belonged to the Canopy Star.
But at this moment, the originally beautiful planet surrounded by our own fleet has disappeared...
It's gone...
"..."
Therefore, it was inevitable that his face was filled with shock and confusion, and his once firm and wise eyes became hollow and confused at this moment.
Apparently!
He seemed unable to believe or accept such a fact.
Because his fleet, his soldiers, and his Luna Wolves have sacrificed so much, but now, at this critical moment, everything has become meaningless?
"??"
"Legion Commander?"
Seeing this, and seeing that his original body was still dumbfounded and unmoved, the Astartes officer urged again. When he saw that there was still no response, he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, then turned around and ran away.
The order was issued beyond the scope of authority.
Because this was a matter of life and death for the entire Sixteenth Legion fleet, he couldn't care about that much at the moment.
And the same!
In the starry sky beyond the terrestrial galaxy, at the Mandeville Point, the main force of the Emperor's Great Expedition Fleet, which was being assembled and dispatched, also immediately detected the shocking news.
"!!"
However, unlike the shocked and stupid Horus, although the Emperor was also very shocked, he discovered something out of the ordinary and quickly recovered from the shock.
"that is……"
"Ah!"
"interesting……"
However, although he was vaguely aware of some situations and began to think about the specific reasons for the disappearance of the planet, his face did not show any obvious emotions. He just sighed softly, and then his deep eyes flashed sharply, like
It was like crossing the barrier between the real physical universe and subspace and looking at the starry sky outside the porthole.
"Order!"
"The fleet is on standby for further observation!"
"Other!"
"Bring Horus back immediately!"
"When he comes back, let him come to see me."
Immediately afterwards, before the deeply shocked imperial officers could continue to discuss the unheard and unseen situation and speculate on various possible reasons, the emperor appeared to be extremely calm and issued an order, requiring all fleets to stop everything immediately.
Action, requiring the Horus fleet to immediately withdraw from the Taiwei system and await further instructions.
"yes!"
"As commanded!!"
A forbidden soldier next to him responded loudly, and then glanced enthusiastically at the emperor who didn't show much expression even when he saw the strange situation. Then he strode away to convey their greatness.
The Emperor's orders.
