Chapter 289 Extermination Order
There is nowhere to hide for those who are weak-willed and indecisive. Only quick action and firm belief can save mankind. No sacrifice is too great, and no betrayal is too small.
——The Dogmatic Book of the Inquisition, Chapter 28 "The Order of Extermination"
Sitting on the chair, Duanmuhuai fiddled with a small obsidian box in his hand. It looked simple and unpretentious, with the pattern of the Inquisition and a motto printed on it. It seemed to be just a small seal that could be seen everywhere.
However, many times, the problem is not the thing itself, but the value it represents.
Just like in many games, the things that NPCs use cautiously in the background settings are basically cabbage for players to use casually.
The same goes for extermination orders.
In the game, it has almost become a habit for players to use the Extermination Order, just like playing a fighting game and then using a big move after a set of combos. This is not because the players have fallen into heresy, but simply - the times
The background is different.
In the past era of the Human Empire, humans occupied almost the entire galaxy. Every planet was the property of Holy Terra, and every soul belonged to the Emperor. The biggest enemy the Inquisition faced was the Gnawing Empire.
Internal chaos and heresy rebellion, in this case, they naturally have to be cautious when using the extermination order.
But now the situation is completely different.
The development of mankind is almost starting from scratch. A large number of aliens have occupied interstellar space. They have even built huge fleets and launched ruthless and cruel attacks on mankind. During the period of the human empire, it may be difficult to find large galaxies where aliens gather, but now
, such galaxies abound.
Using an Extinction Order on these planets puts no psychological pressure on players. Even in the game, many players' favorite thing to do is to lead a fleet to directly kill the opponent's home planet through various methods, and then throw an Extinction Order over to play.
Beheading attack. Wait until the opponent's home planet is extinct, then add insult to injury to deal with the alien legions whose morale has been greatly reduced.
Cruel, ruthless, and efficient.
This is the Inquisition.
But now, Duanmuhuai wants to go one step further.
He picked up the seal in his hand and stamped it heavily on the parchment in front of him.
"Due to the ruthless killing of humans by the aliens, there is no longer any need for them to exist. Therefore, in the name of the Inquisitor, I am here to issue the No. 1 Extermination Order against the Covenant Urs System. Let these aliens feel the ruthlessness of the Inquisition.
Fury, and repent in destruction."
Duanmu Huai raised his head and gave the order.
"Deploy the Wanyi giant ship."
Standing on the deck, looking at the burning stars in front of him, Commander Hood remained silent. In the end, he accepted Duanmuhuai's invitation and brought a team of senior generals to the flagship of the Tribunal. On the one hand, this was to show friendship.
, on the other hand, they are also curious about what method the Tribunal will use to eliminate the Star Alliance.
But now, they were extremely shocked.
The reason is very simple, that is the elusive way of movement of the Inquisition fleet.
Whether it is the UNSC or the Covenant, most of their technologies come from archaeological excavations of the Forerunners' ruins, so their technology trees are actually very similar. It's just that the Covenant started earlier, so they have more points, while humans started later.
, so the number of points is relatively small.
However, both sides use hyper-light engines for space navigation, which will naturally inevitably produce some kind of space fluctuations. As long as they can master this kind of space fluctuations, they can lock the opponent's location. This is why the Covenant fleet arrived on Earth before.
The reason for being discovered by the Earth's defense network. Similarly, if humans want to launch an attack deep into the Covenant, they will be captured by the Covenant using similar means.
However, the Inquisition's warships seem to use a completely different method of movement.
They are as elusive as ghosts, and the Covenant's surveillance network is completely unable to capture the Inquisition's fleet, so much so that they have even penetrated deep into the Urs system!
This is no ordinary galaxy in the Covenant. This is the home of the elite, one of the top races of the Covenant!
There are a total of five star systems occupied by the Covenant.
These include the Hawthorne galaxy where the high-ranking prophet family of the Star Alliance is located, and the Urs star system where the elite family that represents the absolute force of the Star Alliance is located. Next are the soldiers of the Star Alliance - the hunter "Lekgoro" and similar
Among the insect Ami, there are also the Udeo galaxy where the Jackal beasts live, the Domsak galaxy where the Jiralhanae tribe lives, and the Barao galaxy where the Grunt beast tribe lives.
Among them, the Hawthorne Galaxy is naturally the well-deserved core area of the Covenant, and its importance is equivalent to the human solar system. However, the importance of the Urs System is not weak. After all, the commander of the military forces of the Covenant lives here.
It goes without saying that they are an elite clan, and their military tactics and qualities go without saying.
The UNSC has been fighting fiercely with the Star Alliance for so long, so it naturally knows how powerful these elites are.
It can be said that the Urs Galaxy is equivalent to the "military base" of the Covenant. If it can be destroyed, it will be enough to greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the Covenant.
Not only that, but the decline of the elite clan that controls the power of the Covenant's military will also cause turmoil and chaos within the Covenant.
After all, wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
The same goes for aliens.
It's just that Commander Hood still doesn't understand how the Tribunal plans to act. You must know that the Urs galaxy is the base camp of the elite family. Of course, there are a large number of fleets stationed here. It is not that humans and the Covenant have ways to destroy a planet.
They can all use space battleships to emit high-energy beams to the ground to burn it - commonly known as burning glass.
But for both the Covenant and the UNSC, this is a very time-consuming method. Even the Covenant requires several warships to attack the planet at the same time, and it takes a certain amount of time to do it. This is
The remote planet is still there, but now in this crisis-ridden Urs galaxy, how does the Inquisition plan to act?
"Du-du-du-!!"
Just as Commander Hood was thinking, suddenly, an alarm sounded, and then, Miana's voice sounded as leisurely as ever, like a tour guide introducing the scenery in a tourist area.
"Please pay attention~~~The Tribunal is about to issue an extermination order~~~Please pay attention~~~"
"Extermination order?"
Hearing this, Commander Hood suddenly became energetic, and the senior generals around him also looked back at the surrounding decorations. Then, they saw a huge warship suddenly appear not far from the window.
It docked next to the star of the Urs Galaxy.
This is a long, narrow and huge "I"-shaped battleship. It looks even bigger than the human space station. Right now, this battleship is docked at the edge of the star. Then, Commander Hood and his party saw a
The beam burst out from the core of the battleship's center and was injected directly into the star!
"Oh my God! They're actually going to do this!!"
Seeing this, a senior general was stunned and screamed!
"What's wrong? Do you know what they are doing??"
Looking at the general beside him, Commander Hood asked. The general looked pale and took a breath before he spoke.
"Sir, if I guess correctly, the Tribunal is... planning to detonate the star and completely reduce the entire Urs galaxy to nothing!"
"What?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
"Can this be done?"
"Theoretically...there is no problem, as long as there is a strong enough energy supply...but we don't have it, and I'm afraid the Star Alliance can't do it either!!"
In fact, as the senior general said, it is not difficult to detonate a star, as long as there is enough energy.
Well, the problem is that there is enough energy.
Even the Kabal tribe, the original builders of the Wanyi giant ship, did not solve the energy problem. At that time, if their Wanyi giant ship wanted to start, they had to defeat a nearby planet and extract the energy from it.
Then inject it into the star to explode the star.
But Duanmu Huai doesn't have to go to such trouble. The Ancient Sage's reactor is so terrifying. One is not enough to stack two, and two is not enough to stack four. Is this also called a problem?
If you install a motorcycle engine on a bicycle, it can run at the speed of a motorcycle.
Of course, whether it can be sustained is another matter.
Just when everyone was stunned, their minds went blank, and they had no idea how to respond, Duanmuhuai had silently connected to the Star Alliance's missionary network.
"Aliens, this is your last moment of survival. As a price for threatening humanity, you will be completely destroyed in the wrath of the Tribunal. Your souls will never escape the purgatory fire of the Tribunal until the final destruction and death.
The end day...Repent, this is your end."
After saying this, Duanmuhuai closed the communication and issued the order.
"Prepare to evacuate."
"It has been detected that the interior of the star has reached a critical point and is preparing to evacuate."
The next moment, the heavy deck slowly fell down, completely isolating everyone's vision. Then the Tribunal fleet disappeared silently into the starry sky and disappeared.
Just at this time, the Covenant fleet, which had assembled a large army, arrived in a hurry, but... it was too late.
The star burst out with hot, shining brilliance at this moment, and then completely exploded.
The bright, golden light turned into a huge shock wave, spreading in all directions. All planets along the way were completely destroyed in this stellar explosion like destroyed stones. Their atmospheres were evaporated, their mantles ruptured, and then the entire planet followed.
In this way, they fell apart and turned into dust in the universe. As for the Covenant fleet, they were also unable to escape the explosion range of the star. They didn't even have time to react, and were directly swallowed by the brilliant light - in the dazzling,
It completely disappeared in the hot, pure white light.
In this way, the Urs Galaxy, the second largest galaxy in the Covenant, was completely destroyed.
