Throughout the Sanctuary Star Cluster, the fragile peace created by the efforts of all parties collapsed due to the sudden void invasion in the capital area, and the war was instantly rekindled.

Compared to the Tyranids appearing in the capital area, the loss of the entire academy is not that important.

After all, as far as the final ending of the Garden of Silence is concerned, it is far better to have this ending stolen by mysterious forces than to be occupied by insects.

The Renaissance-class battleship formation stationed in the Garden of Silence fought to the last moment. Unfortunately, the void tightly blocked the hyperspace channel leading to the Eternal Capital, which not only prevented the reinforcements of the Imperial Guard fleet, but also completely blocked the Garden of Silence.

The defender's retreat.

Also blocked were Lu Feng and his party who had just stolen something.

Since it was impossible to evacuate the Court of Silence through conventional routes, the Fireworks simply lurked at the edge of the Court of Silence, monitoring the battle between the Imperial defenders and the Tyranids throughout the process.

It has to be said that the Empire's Renaissance-class battleships have very strong firepower, and their performance far exceeds that of the old-timer Empire-class battleships. In the early stage of the firefight, they once pushed the invading Tyranids back to the vicinity of the rift, causing heavy casualties to the Void side.

But it is a pity that this revival-level formation is not equipped with some specialized weapons targeting void rifts, so it can only adopt the most efficient method to suppress the artillery fire of void rifts.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case.

Could it be that as the last sharp blade of the empire, even the Imperial Guard is dead?

Lu Feng only found out later that the imperial imperial army was actually conducting targeted research on the void, and that the Court of Silence was the empire's most cutting-edge scientific research center, and all its scientific research essence was within the academy!

To be precise, the cutting-edge dreadnought that wanted to leave the port from the academy was designed and built by the Imperial Academy of Sciences in response to the void invasion.

Who would have imagined that Lu Feng would take care of the delivery room and the delivery room without even having a chance to have a caesarean section?

Afterwards, Lu Feng felt somewhat ashamed for a few seconds when he learned about this, but based on his position, he quickly accepted the gift from the Royal Academy of Sciences.

With the imperial people's hundreds of years of research accumulation and the joining of tens of thousands of scientific research elites, Shentang's strength will soon take off.

Talk about returning to the battlefield of the Garden of Silence.

After the new dreadnoughts originally used to restrain the Void Rift were stolen, the Imperial defenders tenaciously tried a variety of advanced solutions and weapons, but unfortunately the results were minimal and the Void Rift could never be closed.

The two sides went through a brutal battle of attrition that lasted for 72 hours. It was not until a Tyranid behemoth tore through the void and burst into the battlefield at the cost of heavy damage that the Imperial defenders were forced to withdraw to the military port base and continue to hold on.

During this period, they had tenacious fighting spirit, superb tactics, skillful operations, powerful battleships, rapid firepower, bravery and loyalty, and brought unbearable and tragic casualties to the arrogant Tyranids.

Even Lu Feng, as a bystander, could clearly feel the Tyranids' rage.

At this moment, Lu Feng could not hide the shock in his heart and his admiration for the imperial defenders.

The Imperial Guard Fleet is indeed the most powerful military force in the entire Sanctuary Star Cluster, bar none!

Although he doesn't want to admit it, there is a visible gap between the young Shen Tang fleet and its software and hardware.

It is really a pity that such an iron army is about to collapse here.

The Tyranid Behemoth is the ultimate war weapon of the Tyranid Zerg. It is comparable in size to a dreadnought. As the first Tyranid Behemoth enters the battlefield, the second and third ones also join the battle in sequence.

Looking back at the Imperial defenders, apart from the crumbling fortress shields, there are only two scarred Renaissance-class battleships still fighting tenaciously.

The Imperial defenders could not hold out much longer.

Lu Feng couldn't help but feel a little cherished for money.

It would be great if these human elites could be used by me, but it is a pity that it is not realistic for them to change their allegiance. If nothing happens, they will remain loyal to the empire and the emperor until their death.

And where is their emperor?

He is old and can only survive by feigning death. The most important capital area of ​​the entire star cluster is occupied by a group of void aliens and greedy politicians. Until now, they have not been able to break through the blockade and provide some support to the defenders of the Court of Silence.

If Lu Feng guessed correctly, of the three hyperspace cores created by his ancestors, except for his own, one was on Mordiggian's Monarch, and the last one was probably in the hands of the Empire.

Such an artifact must be installed on a super weapon of the dreadnought or above level by the Empire.

As long as this super weapon is dispatched and leads several Imperial Guard fleets to perform hyperspace jumps, then the invasion of the Court of Silence will be easily solved, and these tenacious Imperial soldiers will be able to survive.

pity,

I don’t know if this super weapon is not ready; or if the senior officials of the empire are too afraid of death and do not allow the Imperial Guard fleet to leave the Eternal Capital; or if the void aliens have penetrated too deeply, completely blocking the operation of the empire’s machinery...

In short,

Until the bloody battle in the Court of Silence progressed to the fifth sidereal day, Lu Feng still did not see any reinforcement spacecraft appear in this cold galaxy.

It seems that the defenders here were ruthlessly abandoned.

Lu Feng laughed silently.

That is contempt and ridicule of this decadent empire.

"Oh, you are really rich and powerful. I feel so worthless for such loyal and brave elite soldiers who just throw them away at their will..."

After sighing, Lu Feng turned to look at the March 7 projection aside.

"How prepared is our fleet?"

"The First and Second Fleets of the Shen Tang Dynasty, the Dreadnought Ship Death Omen are ready and can join the battle at any time! The Dreadnought Ship Baihe still needs to be debugged, but it can also be operated for a short period of time!"

The Death Omen is the Markkan's Wrath 3 type dreadnought captured from the Veggar people, and the White River is the experimental ship just snatched from the Empire.

"Very good. The main goal of this operation is to test the Tyranid swarm, collect combat data, and accumulate combat experience. The secondary goal is to test the capabilities of new warships and rescue surviving imperial soldiers.

The casualty indicator this time is 10%, let Yin Hang formulate a battle plan."

"Understood. I will help control the Baihe. It's not a big problem."

After just a few days of research, the Shentang Academy of Sciences, with the help of imperial researchers, roughly understood the strategic significance of the Baihe.

As a special battleship designed specifically for the void, the White River is equipped with a void core that is larger than the Xinhuo. The void crystal core inside comes from the collection of the imperial royal family.

With this void core providing psionic energy, although the White River cannot sneak into the void, it can activate a powerful psionic energy shield, use up to 8 psionic energy cannon arrays to fire violently, and intervene through a special psionic energy

It interferes with the Tyranid's psionic shield and reduces its strength.

Although it has not been tested yet, this instrument seems to have a certain function of suppressing void cracks. The specific effect will depend on the subsequent actual combat results.

The Fireworks sneaks closer to the battlefield.

Subsequently, a huge subspace window suddenly opened next to the imperial fortress, and a large number of warships with the emblem of Shen Tang swarmed out, led by the huge dreadnought ship Death Omen, and the killer White River was controlled by March Seven

He lives in the formation, surrounded by a large number of Shen Tang warships.

Both warring parties were stunned by the sudden appearance of the fleet.

Both sides are at the end of their game. Although the Tyranids have the upper hand, their powerful troops all need the support of psionic energy. Obviously, the laws of the material universe greatly restrict their ability to obtain psionic energy, so they are also painfully affected by the imperial defenders.

The beating was severe.

The Shen Tang fleet appeared at the right time.

The Xinhuo took the lead and fiercely approached a giant squid-like Tyranid beast.

First, a round of nether energy cannon bombardment hit the opponent's rotten flesh everywhere, and then the stardust deciduous tree showed its power. Countless golden branches stretched out from the hull, fighting with the tentacles of the giant beast. At every moment, both sides were fighting.

The tentacles were broken and torn into pieces, and they were even beaten!

This shocking scene not only stunned the surviving imperial defenders, but even the Shentang warriors themselves did not expect that the small Xinhuo could actually fight a monster several kilometers long.

Lu Feng was quite surprised by this.

The Stardust deciduous tree has been carefully cultivated by him and Lin Yuexi. It is normal for it to have such power when it has entered the mature stage. It is really not in vain to hurt it.

In addition to the Xinhuo, the rest of the Shentang fleet also performed very well.

Although it was not up to the level of the Imperial Guard Fleet, it had a lot of vigor and energy, and fought very seriously and tenaciously.

The gradually dimmed battlefield once again erupted into overwhelming light spots, which were the colors of countless Shentang turrets and missiles. Under the firelight that filled the sky, the ugly Tyran monsters were completely purified and turned into cold corpses in the star space.

.

At the same time, the imperial defenders also established contact with the Shen Tang fleet.

Unsurprisingly, the other party first questioned the reason for Shentang's sudden appearance in the hinterland of the empire, and then asked Shentang to help defend the empire's base and wait for support.

Lu Feng didn't have the same understanding as these poor people who had been brainwashed by the empire, and directly stated his purpose.

"My fleet will evacuate this galaxy later. If any of you want to leave together, just take a boat to follow. We will not wait until the deadline."

After saying that, Lu Feng hung up the communication and left the final decision to the other party.

Next is Shentang's own training time. This is the first time for the boys of the Shentang fleet to have a large-scale firefight with the Tyranids. The experience is very valuable and they must try more tactics and techniques that they usually have no chance to operate.

So as time went by, the solemn and solemn atmosphere on the battlefield was dissipated by the Shen Tang fleet.

Why is it that the more I hit, the better I get...

The real reason is that the Tyranids are tired of fighting. Bugs are not metal. They need to keep returning to the mothership to refill biological ammunition and replenish biomass energy. The repair time is not much faster than that of humans.

The number of Tyranid Zerg is far less endless than that of Zerg Zerg's flying dragon sea. They follow the path of coexistence of quantity and quality, so after being consumed by the imperial defenders, their status declined sharply.

At the same time, the psionic energy interferometer on the White River was successfully activated, successfully cutting off the Tyranids' psionic energy supply chain, causing all their proud void shields to fail, and even the void rifts were suppressed and temporarily closed.

.

After some experiments, the design expectations were basically met, and the operation was a complete success.

After 6 hours of fighting, Lu Feng took the initiative to order a retreat. The huge Shentang fleet retreated into the subspace gate in an orderly manner. Also evacuated was a scarred Fuxing-class battleship, which contained all the survivors of the imperial defenders who were willing to evacuate.

or.

Although the White River temporarily sealed the void rift, unfortunately the effect was not permanent.
To be continued...
