Ever since the appearance of the aliens he swore to himself that he wouldn't drink again until they were defeated.
He had to keep himself sober.
A clear mind was the only way to command a war.
A few days ago he'd received word that His Majesty the Terminator had gone into seclusion. When he emerged he would be stronger than ever, and would come to take command of Terminator himself.
He'd studied the detailed records of Tyrannosaurus, Heron, and Arachnid's battle against the alien planets.
He now had a better understanding of how powerful the aliens were.
Not only were they strong as a group, but they were also individually terrifying.
Tyrannosaurus' commander, Admiral Kang, had almost perished under their assault.
Fortunately the Paragons from Skyfire Avenue had been there, otherwise Tyrannosaurus would have been destroyed.
War could break out at any moment, and the Northern Alliance's economy had been shaken to the core. Society was in turmoil.
If they could not end this war in a short period of time, human civilization would probably regress.
Brown sighed and shook his head. Terminator was stationed on the outskirts of the Northern Alliance, where two of the Northern Alliance's most important planets needed protection.
On Luo, Tyrannosaurus and two other bastions were stationed.
With Terminator's power, there was no doubt that it would become the main force in the battlefield in the near future.
Just how strong were these alien planets?
They'd have to face them to find out.
Just then, a piercing alarm sounded. A frantic voice picked up from the emergency line.
"Marshal, we've discovered the appearance of a strange cosmic energy."
Brown's heart tightened. He hurried back to his desk. "Give me a detailed report.
Where is it coming from? "
"It's all around us. It's like an encirclement.
The energy fluctuations are strong.
It's starting to affect us.
Requesting shield activation. "
Without hesitation, Brown said in a deep voice, "Activate the protective shield. Maximum strength is 50%. Prepare to increase the strength at any time."
Terminator was the largest Bastion ship in all of human history.
It took an astronomical amount of energy to activate a single shield.
But now was a special time, and Brown couldn't care less about energy consumption.
He issued a series of commands, and all the passageways on the surface of the Terminator were closed. A layer of white light spread out from the Terminator, protecting it from the outside.
As he gave the order, Marshal Brown looked out of the porthole.
His pupils constricted violently because he saw a huge purplish-red vortex just opposite his porthole.
An image flashed through his mind. He could still remember it clearly. It was brought back by the Eastern Alliance's Skyfire Avenue reconnaissance team.
The scene at that time, wasn't it …
"Activate the protective shield to 100%. Charge the main cannon. Prepare for the highest level of combat.
All units, prepare for battle.
Terminator soared into the sky, full speed ahead.
No matter the cost! "A series of urgent orders came out of his mouth.
He was already aware of the approaching danger.
Terminator's protective shield strengthened rapidly, like a giant white eggshell, protecting its body within.
Like Tyrannosaurus, Terminator was a massive ship. It was spherical in shape, shaped like a planet, with its main cannon at its base.
This was also the reason why Brown had ordered for the Terminator to ascend as fast as possible.
It took time to recharge its main cannon. Even at the cost of everything, it would take at least fifteen minutes.
Such a powerful weapon had to be built up over a long period of time.
Just then, three balls of light appeared around Terminator.
They were three huge planets. When they appeared at the same time, the entire space felt like it was collapsing.
There was a huge vortex at the center of each of the three planets.
The vortices spun violently, exerting a powerful suction force.
Terminator may be humanity's most powerful Bastion ship, but it also has its limits.
Due to the huge suction force generated by the three planets that were much larger than it, its ascending motion was immediately affected.
"The alien planets!" Brown's heart sank.
Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined the war would begin in such a manner. The home worlds would be the first to appear, and in such a manner.
"All weapons, fire at full power!" Brown was almost roaring as he gave the order.
As soon as the alien planets appeared, they surrounded Terminator, humanity's strongest bastion ship.
Under their suction, Terminator could not even turn its main cannon around to face them.
However, Terminator's attack power was indeed formidable. All the planet's railguns fired in an instant. Countless rays of light burst forth from Terminator like a giant hedgehog, displaying its formidable attack power.
The three planets were covered in a layer of purple light. When the railguns struck, the purple light seemed to cave in, like a rubber ball being squeezed inward. However, the planets themselves were unharmed.
Just then, giant tentacles erupted from the planet's surface. The tentacles stretched out and reached for Terminator.
Some of the tentacles were repelled by the orbital cannons, but others slammed into Terminator's protective shield.
For a moment there was a blinding light.
Tyrannosaurus and the three bastions had resorted to tactics in the first battle. Now, however, they were using brute force to crush their foes.
"Admiral, the shields are down to sixty percent capacity."
"Forty-five percent …"
"Thirty-five percent …"
The aliens' tentacles were filled with terrifying power. Their suction pads were constantly draining Terminator of its energy reserves.
Terminator was like a bug caught in a spider's web. It struggled and struggled, but the web only grew tighter and tighter.
It's finished …
Brown issued orders mechanically, but he knew that Terminator was doomed. Without reinforcements, it couldn't escape.
Even its main cannons couldn't be used to its full potential.
A fierce light flashed in the old admiral's eyes.
