heavy fog

The nations of the Moby Whale galaxy signed an alliance in Gemini, and the Holy Glory Empire was not idle either.

Controlling the occupied area, mopping up the remaining enemy forces, disintegrating resistance, and even destroying the spirit of the people in the conquered country, they have done this kind of thing many times, and they are so proficient that they don't need to think carefully, just follow the regulations.

The hidden forces in the Republic of Moldia were exposed one after another as the scope of the search expanded day by day. They either surrendered or attacked by suicide, but they were unable to resist the army of the Holy Glory Empire.

In about ten days, the territory will be completely checked.

Then there would be a second detailed search, targeting inhabited planets, finding hidden secret bases, or die-hards who hid their weapons in the crowd.

The concept of the Holy Glory Empire is that as long as they hold a weapon, they are the enemy. Unarmed and wounded soldiers will not respond even if they yell at the refugee camp.Anyway, they have been firmly guarded. Unless you pick up an iron rod and sharpen your toothbrush, you can't find any weapons in the refugee camp. The food rations are all low-quality compressed food pills, and there is no chance to use tableware as a murder weapon. .

"The third echelon reports that there are ruins of a secret base on a planet with the coordinates X257 in area c."

The jet-black hull, square and heavy like a big box, entered the atmosphere of a crimson planet, and the radar scanned the Molvia military base.

The light wave communication continued to come out from the answering machine:

"Confirmed, this is the source of the surrender signal, but there are no signs of life here, please request the next step."

Two days ago, they received a surrender radio wave from this remote and desolate star field. The content was roughly that a minister of the Republic of Molvia and the army base of the secret military forces intended to surrender to the Holy Glory Empire.

Perhaps in the eyes of the people of the Moby Dick galaxy, the treatment of refugees and captives by the Holy Lake Empire is abuse, but they don't think so-suffering can sharpen people's souls, and if they want to return to the kingdom of God, they have to abandon Those who enjoy and comfort.

For the lost who are willing to take the initiative to seek refuge under the glory of God, the empire still welcomes them.

Don't even think about good treatment, but certainly not thrown into a refugee camp.

"After a detailed search, according to intelligence, the Morvia opposition party does have a secretly trained army."

Instructions came from the communicator. Obviously, this was the news of betrayal by other surrenders.

The spaceship with a huge bright red Jerusalem Cross emblem on its hull descended slowly, then opened a thick energy defense cover, and flew into the collapsed crater.

The gates of the base are gone, the passages are partially blocked, and the remains of some armed robots can be seen here and there.

A damaged battleship stopped at the gate of the base, the break was scorched black, and there were several corpses on the ground.

"They had internal strife."

These details were clearly displayed on the screen of the Holy Radiance Empire's search of the spaceship.

"Go ahead, just catch one survivor, and don't bother with the others."

The military of the Holy Glory Empire is mixed with the power of the Holy See. Many priests are low-level military officers. Those who stay in the Holy See cannot marry, while those who leave the Holy See to join the government and army can have families. This is the difference between the two.

The man in charge of this spaceship is a blue-robed clergyman who has just retired. He uses spiritual energy to control the spaceship's instruments and carefully observe the environment of the ruins of the base.

Some parts of the passage collapsed badly, and the direction of the armed robots falling to the ground was chaotic, as if they were fighting with each other. Judging from the traces on the scene, it should be that after the declaration of surrender was issued, some people who were unwilling to surrender rioted and escaped in the chaos. I didn't expect that the only battleship left at the gate of the base had an explosive device inside.

The question is, are all the people in the base dead?

"The third echelon increases support."

Two more dark square battleships came to this planet, passed through the passage, and joined the Pathfinder in front. After a brief communication, the bow of one of the ships slowly protruded out of the two-meter-diameter muzzle.

"boom!"

The base of Morvia is still very strong, and this level of energy bombardment can only blast the blocked passage ahead.

Smoke and dust flew, and the scattered machinery was blasted into slag, running through five or six meters. In the front was the distorted and smoking parking command room. The roof was gone, the glass was all broken, and there was no one in it.

"No vital signs responded."

Three Holy Radiance Empire spaceships slowly entered again.

There were dozens of people manipulating the scanning radar, and all they could detect was the faint sound of the ventilation system working, as well as the reflected waves of the temperature adjustment facilities, and the sound of some small-scale explosions deep in the base was recorded.

"There are mixed electromagnetic waves ahead."

The muzzle blasted a passage again, and a large number of broken armored chariot wreckage flew out, smashing the wall with a ping-dang clang, the ground was twisted, and the metal passage was full of gaps and holes, and it could be seen that it was falling continuously. Flashing camera.

"This should be the main battlefield where the conflict broke out."

"Strange, why did not see the body."

The people on the three black spaceships communicated with each other in doubt, and soon they got a new order from outside the atmosphere, also searching and sweeping the third echelon officer of this star field: no survivors, find the laboratory here to keep The data chips and records, just take them away.

——The Holy Glory Empire has the strength to crush this country, but the empire will never let go of any high-tech civilization materials, keep the useful ones, and discard the unnecessary ones. This is a common method of plundering and occupying.

The scanning radar is imaged on the screen, and the base's weapon arsenal and laboratory are on the bottom floor.

It took about 5 minutes for the Holy Radiance Empire spacecraft to continuously analyze and judge the image of the base, avoided the load-bearing area, blasted away the metal wall, and successfully arrived near the weapon depot.

The doubts in their hearts were getting deeper and deeper, because they didn't see any corpses along the way.

"The dispatcher of the third echelon reports that the personnel of the base are suspected to have fled abroad, and their intentions towards our country are unknown, and they request a search in the nearby star field." The blue-robed priest put down the communicator, and at this time the radar showed a mixed electromagnetic wave response ahead.

"This is the laboratory!"

"Very good, electromagnetic waves prove that some instruments should still be working..."

They aimed the muzzle at the channel for the Nth time.

Although they look down on the military power of Morvia, when exploring and searching the base, the soldiers of the Holy Empire followed the regulations and called in two more spaceships vigilantly. When searching, there were no dead ends in the direction of the scan. The other two ships were hovering left and right to observe, and they would immediately find out if something was wrong.

"echo--"

They yelled almost at the same time, the muzzle blasted the floor, and there were strange sounds on both sides of the wall.

"Crack!" Several holes of different sizes appeared on the passage wall.

"Enemy attack! Retreat and adjust your position."

The words were shouted like this, but the soldiers of the Holy Glory Empire didn't care at all. If Movia's weapons wanted to penetrate their protective shields, they would have to focus their fire for at least 5 minutes.

Both sides of the black lacquered hull protruded from the muzzle at the same time, and there was a burst of bombardment against the wall of the base.

The gun barrels hidden in the metal walls exploded one after another, and even the walls collapsed with the explosion. Seeing that this mechanism is completely over——

"boom!"

The eyes of the blue-robed clergyman went dark, and he fell to the ground with a sharp pain in his head.

The spaceship shook violently, and was hit by a solid object.

"What's going on? Where did the attack come from..."

The sound stopped abruptly, and the blue-robed cleric clearly saw through the screen that two powerful alloy tentacles protruded from the collapsed wall, and his spaceship was engulfed by them. in a large loss.

"Attention! This is a trap!"

The other two spaceships that escaped by chance fired at the alloy wrists that were 20 meters long and three meters thick.

Part of the outer shell of the wrist shattered, revealing the gold inside.

"No, attack the bottom, there is the main body!" The blue-robed priest on the trapped spaceship shouted with a communicator, and sent the scene recorded by the instrument to his companions.

Only then did they see that the part of the alloy wrist wrapped around the spaceship automatically produced countless tiny suction cups, greedily devouring the energy shield. In just a few seconds, the shield reached a warning red.

The energy of the shield was continuously replenished to the spaceship, but the metal monster didn't like it enough, the tentacles curled up again, and more suction cups emerged, and the speed of replenishment couldn't keep up with the consumption.

"boom!"

The entire ground was blasted away by the Holy Glory Empire.

Two beams of light, like spotlights, made the screen white...

"It's really a monster!"

The people of the Holy Brilliance Empire, who quickly adjusted the screen resolution, saw an extremely horrifying scene. There was a huge raised hillside with two terrifying big eyes staring at the falling prey from above.

The "mountain slope" rolled over, revealing a dark crack hidden in the thick body.

The gust of wind blew up, and a strong suction force was sent out, and the cracks became wider and wider, forming a dark hole with a diameter of 30 meters, and a large number of metal fragments flew into it.

The monster's own body also slowly pulled down with this suction.

"We were fooled, the entire base was swallowed by this monster!"

There are no pillars or walls on the ground floor. Looking around, it is the body of this big guy with a strange color. It is as strong and shiny as metal, rolling and moving. The passage above shakes violently with its movements. It deformed and became a new tentacles, sweeping over overwhelmingly.

"Turn on the anti-gravity system! Start all the engines!" The blue-robed cleric yelled in panic, because the spaceship wrapped by the tentacles had been slowly sent to the monster's crack-like mouth that emitted powerful suction.

"No, the energy shield can't hold it anymore!"

As soon as the words were finished, the spacecraft shook violently again, and several instruments exploded with black smoke.

The hull began to make strange creaking noises.

Most of the battleship's hull is enveloped, and if it is forced to fire, it will explode along with itself.

They could only hope that their companions would come to rescue them, but looking at the undamaged radar scans, the scene was so horrifying that they even stiffened their fingers for crossing and praying.

The other four thicker and longer alloy wrists firmly blocked the upper part of the top floor, that is, the gap that was blasted by the three spaceships when they came.

The main guns of the two Holy Radiance Empire spaceships strafed, and the tentacles continued to have metal collapse, and were swallowed by the monster's suction force.

The trajectory of one of the spaceships is skewed.

The people of the Holy Glory Empire were frightened, but the Morvians inside the monster were also very...

They were gathered together and locked in a cabin, and the screen projection showed the situation outside. Even from the perspective of a monster, they felt extremely terrifying. One mentally fragile Morvian official fainted.

"Adjust the magnetic device for absorbing metal, the mode is waiting to be switched, and a new mode is being generated."

The main body of the monster - Starfish Buyer said in a blunt mechanical voice: "Secondary analysis of the metal composition of the shell of the enemy battleship."

Numerous symbolic images were arranged on the screen, and the reference was the Holy Radiance Empire spaceship that was wrapped in tentacles and part of the hull had been deformed.

"Adjustments are complete!"

Buyer rolled over his body, and the cracks closed and then opened again. At this time, some fragments could be seen flying quickly, and some remained motionless on the wreckage of the wall. However, the three Holy Glory Empire warships could not control their hulls and shook violently in the air.

Buyer's sturdy system is like an infinite number of magnets waiting to be switched, each of which is aimed at a metal with the strongest suction.

In order to pursue sturdiness, the spaceships of the Holy Radiance Empire have a high content of certain metals. If it is not for the offsetting effect of the alloy and other metals, the two spaceships of the Holy Radiance Empire will crash.

"Engine, full engine... Where's the distress signal?"

"When the attack first started, the external communication channel was jammed!"

The two spaceships of the Holy Radiance Empire flew in a hurry, no longer trying to meet the four huge tentacles, but trying to escape from the gap.

This policy is obviously correct. The strong suction also has a certain impact on Buyer. Its entire body is pulled down. If the spaceship is trapped in its tentacles, it is naturally good to narrow the encirclement and shorten the distance. good idea.

Now that the spaceship is struggling to damage the energy shield, and trying to rush out with full firepower, Buyer's huge body has become a burden.

Feeling the sudden loss of suction, the people on the spacecraft did not feel happy, but fear.

——This monster is intelligent, and it gave up this attack method.

"God, what is this?"

Starfish Buyer's huge body suddenly rolled up against gravity and the center of gravity, bursting at the speed of sound in an instant, like a huge blanket, wrapping his tentacles and the three spaceships together.

Seeing the screen suddenly go black, the Morvian was taken aback, thinking that there was something wrong with the monster mecha.

Starfish Boyle muttered, "I have an engine too, idiot."
