Chapter 738: Chapter 697: Boarding Battle
"Probe launch completed, subsystem online."
"Scanning all frequencies."
"Duty fighters have taken off, battle squad launched."
In just a few seconds, all the operations were completed, and our units were marked on the star map as blinking green dots, crisscrossing the galaxy like a large net.
However, it was already too late.
A strong tremor suddenly hit, followed by the sound of metal twisting, and in just two seconds, the roar of explosions came.
The main control brain projected the image of the battleship, showing the longitudinal cross-section, and it magnified the damaged area for the captain to see.
"Connection from turret 3762 to turret 3899 severed, estimated destroyed, damage to the entire ship’s compartments 2%, communication and energy supply in the forward area affected, explosion impact range... casualties... under statistics..."
The captain stared in disbelief at the visitor beside him, this was simply unimaginable.
The visitor, having reached the high ranks of the empire and commanded a fleet, was naturally no fool, even if his abilities couldn’t compare to military leaders like Ronan or Kanak, he was still significantly stronger than the average Kree.
"Status of our shields," he bypassed the captain and directly asked the brain.
"Shields intact, Your Excellency, the visitor."
This answer from the brain was even more baffling, what kind of attack could ignore the shields and directly damage the battleship’s structure? And break hundreds of turrets in an instant?
Even the Skrulls’ strongest battleships couldn’t achieve this, right?
"Could it be..." The visitor suddenly paused, as if recalling something: "Current status of damaged compartments?"
"3%, rising... intruder detected, internal defense mechanisms activated, warrior squads dispatched to passages 304, 307, compartment passages isolating."
The visitor seemed unsteady, he held his head slightly swaying, but very soon, his blue skin turned purple with rage swelling in his chest.
A great humiliation, one of the empire’s most powerful flagships, yet it was boarded by the enemy like this? All the operations conducted earlier, the search squads dispatched, were they all in vain?
It felt as if Ronan had slammed a hammer into his chest, leaving him stifled and dizzy.
If the enemy was still in space, the firepower of fighters and other small battleships had a purpose, but now that the enemy was successful in boarding the flagship, apart from sending marine squads to help, there were no other options.
Our advantage vanished in an instant.
The opponent’s situation is unclear, but wielding cold weapons implies they excel in melee combat, Kree warriors, though brave and fearless...
"Order space squads to return and join the siege of the intruders, come to the flagship for reinforcements."
The visitor issued the order, his complexion was unspeakably grim.
Things already happened this way, he imagined how the accusers would mock him, not to mention Supreme Wisdom surely already knew what happened here, it’s like a god able to connect to every brain.
The captain thought it might be an overreaction, but still executed the order.
Kree military regulations were such that no matter what opinion you held about the superior’s orders, you couldn’t refute them, otherwise, it would be insubordination, punishable by death.
You can have your own ideas, but if you want to implement them, then climb higher, until becoming an Accuser, commanding your fleet independently, only then might your opinions hold some practical value.
Of course, Supreme Wisdom’s orders are paramount, they must be executed, anyone defying them is a traitor.
To the Kree Empire, the captain of a large battleship is worthless, the empire has millions of such captains, Supreme Wisdom wouldn’t bother connecting to their minds.
"Retrieve real-time combat projections of the battle area," the captain merely supplemented with this sentence.
If combat begins, then collecting adversary intelligence is crucial, whether it’s combat habits or offensive and defensive methods, all must be recorded and calculated.
However, seeing the live stream, they were struck by an enormous blow.
Still the black and yellow figure, now standing in the dark compartment devoid of energy, only one red monocle flashing brightly.
Dozens of Kree warriors attacked him from various angles, continuously firing their energy weapons.
Kree are relatively reliant on equipment, their genes rarely trigger superpowers, which is why they conducted Inhuman experiments, as human genes are more susceptible to change.
If they can’t transform themselves into biological weapons, they have no choice but to change other races, even if they undergo various modifications, at most becoming more resilient, able to float at an extremely slow speed.
That’s it, that’s all their capabilities.
In the future, they might manufacture powerful beings through technological equipment, like the first generation Captain Marvel Mike Will.
As a Kree, he himself lacked superpowers, completely reliant on Kree’s latest technology—the Negative Decay Bracelet (Nega Bands).
This bracelet greatly amplified his spiritual power, able to absorb solar energy and convert it into other superpowers like super strength, faster-than-light flight capability, emitting photon shocks, and free space activity.
Getting stronger by basking in the sun makes sense.
As for the second generation Captain Marvel Carol, it’s more complex.
Many assumed Carol was merely a United States pilot, but actually, her mother was a Kree warrior and was awarded by the Kree Queen, commander of the Kree Empire Defender Squad.
She was originally a mixed blood of Kree and Earth people, inadvertently returned to Krim Star Hala, struck by a photon pulse ray, transformed into a super warrior needing no reliance on equipment.
At this time, the invention of the Negative Decay Bracelet was still decades away. Kree warriors could battle in space using combat suits and helmets, but still relied on guns, energy, and oxygen.
Attention returned to the compartment projection, the Kree warriors now equipped with the most powerful individual weapons usable inside the battleship, their tactics and formations perfectly met military regulations.
But the monster in the darkness wielded cold weapons in hand, those two giant swords scraping two long sparks on the compartment wall, fiercely crisscrossing...
The leading half of the squad was sliced into halves.
The command bridge grew silent, even the sound of touching terminal or pressing buttons vanished, everything turned dead silent.
A cold weapon previously dismissed brought them the most primal shock, as a weapon, even a rock wielded by a competent user could unleash terrifying power.
The opponent’s simple, efficient, brutal, and swift attack accompanied by allies’ screams in the monitor, with the blood and limbs flying due to lost gravity, appeared so straightforward.
Such carnage, no heat weapon could compare to.
An atmosphere called fear gradually spread in the air, simultaneously, the battlefield seemed entirely out of the Kree’s control.
