Chapter 247: Trapped in the Insect Surround!
"The Sherman Empire is suffering from a large-scale insect plague?"
Edwang stared at the dedicated communication channel in front of him, which contained a half-body projection of Yang Ming.
This is the bionic robot that Yang Ming left in Luofeng. It is responsible for showing its presence and consolidating its influence on its human subordinates on weekdays.
The person who was talking to Edwang at this moment was naturally Xiaolu.
“Yes, Adwan, to be precise, an insect plague has broken out in the Sherman Empire, caused by the New Federation itself. There are a total of thirty-five fourth-order insect swarms, and several quasi-fourth-order insect swarms.
“The Sherman Empire will suffer a huge blow, but according to my estimation, this blow will not really hurt the empire’s vitality.
“But we have to prepare in advance.”
Edwan immediately asked: "Does our fleet need to go over for support? If it is near the imperial border on our side, can it rush over in time?"
Lu was silent for a few seconds, then reminded, "There are a large number of fleets heading out from the Imperial Star Circle. Even if our elite fleet rushes over, it will only cause confusion in the command system and may not be able to help. Moreover, according to the relationship between the suzerain and the suzerain, they must issue a defense order before our fleet can rush over to help."
"Ming, I see hesitation in your eyes."
Edwin sighed:
"The Zerg are the enemy of humanity, and this is something we must keep in mind.
"Let's prepare our army for battle. As long as the Sherman Empire issues a defense order, we will go over to help them guard the administrative planet.
"Also, the soldiers of Luofeng should not stand in front of the soldiers of the Sherman Empire. Don't let our fleet and soldiers become cannon fodder."
Lu: "I 'll arrange it."
"From the tone of voice, you are his assistant, right?" Edwang narrowed his eyes and stared at Yang Ming.
"Uh, the boss is preparing to attack and can't communicate with you."
"How about you show it to me? I haven't seen Ming for a long time. He's always very busy."
"I need to ask the boss... the boss agreed."
Adwant leaned forward and stared at the screen carefully.
The bust of Yang Ming flashed a few times and quickly disappeared, and the scene in the tail cabin of the Dongfeng appeared.
The tail cabin has become very crowded at this moment.
Two six-meter-tall Ghost melee mechas stood side by side, and more than a dozen tracked robots were busy around them, adding more energy shield generators to the Ghost.
A twelve-meter-tall new Red Devil firepower mecha is full of wires. 026, wearing a ponytail and loose maintenance clothes, is standing beside it on a ladder. She has goggles on her eyes and an operating panel in her arms, and is performing the final debugging of the mecha.
Yang Ming, who had already put on exoskeleton armor and a helmet, was now tinkering with something in the corner.
The scene zoomed in, and Edwang immediately discovered that Yang Ming was fiddling with the hilt of the lightsaber, with an attack countdown next to it.
There are only three minutes left to prepare.
"Can I say hello?" Edwan asked.
"I'll ask the boss about this!"
In the picture, Yang Ming raised his head and looked at the projection ball floating in front of him, and also saw the bust of Edwang.
Ed Wang immediately said: "Mr. Ghost, I am your fan!"
"Your Majesty," Yang Ming took off his helmet, revealing his handsome face, "Are you ready to face the political impact that this insect plague will cause?"
"Not yet," Adwant frowned, "Will the Empire go to war against the New Federation?"
"It's hard to be sure," Yang Ming said. "If this insect plague has caused serious damage to the Empire's combat power, the Empire will probably not declare a full-scale war. Since the New Federation dares to take such radical measures, they will definitely have a response later."
Adwan sighed, "What I am worried about now is that the New Federation will form regional alliances and declare war on the Empire in turn, leading to a full-scale war in the galaxy."
"This is actually unlikely. The New Federation must rely on the League of Nations to barely resist the pressure from the Empire," Yang Ming said. "Although the four major gangsters in the galaxy all have dreadnoughts, there is a clear gap in the number and power of dreadnoughts. Moreover, dreadnoughts are not the ultimate deterrent weapon of the Empire. The conventional military strength of the New Federation is also significantly different from that of the Sherman Empire."
Yang Ming reminded earnestly:
"At this stage, we just need to fulfill our duties as a vassal state. Edwang, you must be patient."
"Yes," Adwan sighed softly, "No matter what, the people of the empire are innocent."
"I'm going to attack, this is it for now."
"Oh, attack? Wait Ming, can I see how you attack?"
Yang Ming didn't understand.
Is there anything good about this?
"Okay, let my assistant help you with the live broadcast. Get the mecha ready!"
"receive!"
026 shouted from not far away, lowered his head and went into the control room of the Red Demon mecha. The mechanical spine and the seat interface fit perfectly.
The wires around the New Red Demon fell off at the same time, and the tracked robots retreated to the corner in an orderly manner.
The mecha's head slowly raised up, and its red eyes quickly lit up.
Yang Ming put on the helmet and heard a faint noise from his neck. The helmet connected to the gray-white exoskeleton mecha automatically.
The Ghost mecha spread its limbs, and Yang Ming jumped up and immediately flipped over, fitting precisely into the cockpit, holding the operating rings with both hands and his feet were buckled in metal foot covers.
The two mechas moved forward ten meters at the same time.
Two robotic arms stretched forward, adding flight modules to the two mechas.
"Loading complete."
Yang Ming's Ghost walked towards the tail cabin on its own.
At the same time, two projection screens popped up in Adwang's office. Adwang stared at the back of the Ghost and heard Lu's calm report.
"Already connected to the front battlefield."
"Permission to enter the battlefield has been obtained. Our ship is about to enter the battlefield boundary."
"The commander of the Imperial Fleet has asked how to cooperate with our ships. He has suggested that they suppress the area around the Queen."
"Swarm expansion: 80%."
"The queen has been locked."
Yang Ming's voice was very calm: "Dongfeng continues to move forward and open the acceleration channel on the upper part of the tail cabin."
"Yes, Dongfeng continues to move forward, the acceleration channel has been opened."
The screen in front of Edwan shook slightly, and the real-time image of the battlefield appeared in his eyes.
He could see countless showers of light.
In the rain of light, old-style imperial warships of various sizes were spread out in the outer space of an ochre-colored planet. At this moment, the main guns and secondary guns were firing freely, and ion beams and laser beams of varying thicknesses, as well as a large number of missiles were rushing towards the deep space against the rain of light.
These rains of light are energy attacks coming from the dark universe.
And at the starting point of the light rain, countless space Zergs formed a dark cloud in space.
Edwang felt his scalp tingling and clenched his fists nervously.
Lu's voice was still calm and accurate:
"The thirty-two main battleships in front are coordinating synchronously, aiming at the Queen's location and starting synchronous charging.
"Shooting countdown, ten, nine, eight...speed up and prepare...five, four, three...
"Open fire head on."
Thirty-two hot blue-purple ion beams tore through the darkness of outer space, illuminating the night side of the planet, and a series of fusion halos flashed along the way of the ion beams.
A large number of insects were directly evaporated.
It was as if flowers were blooming in the darkness, and several dazzling walls of light opened up at the same time!
The ion beam energy was isolated outside the light wall, and hundreds of strange-looking insects behind the light wall lost their ability to move at the same time.
Hundreds of light bombs with a diameter of more than ten meters exploded from all parts of the Zerg swarm, launching a fierce counterattack against the thirty-two main battleships; several of their own shield ships immediately increased their energy output to help the main battleships that were charging their main guns to open up their blue and white shields.
The troops here are only the local defense fleet and the permanent defense force of the planet.
They can only hold back the swarm for a while.
Under this wave of Zerg attacks, two shield ships were almost running out of energy.
Wait a minute!
Edwin frowned as he watched the scene.
The mecha that had already jumped onto the back of the Dongfeng opened the acceleration channel above the tail cabin and prepared to accelerate...
What is Ming going to do? This is the space where the Zerg forces are deployed, not in an underground environment!
Lu's voice sounded: "Main gun fire."
A deep purple beam of light with a diameter of one hundred meters suddenly burst out from the corner of the battlefield!
The Zerg protection shield near the Queen, which had just dimmed, lit up again. However, due to the insufficient number of shield worms in the rear, one side of the shield was directly melted by the ion beam, and dense fusion light balls appeared along the way.
A huge gap was burned in the area where the insect swarm was most densely populated, and adult insects with golden patterns were constantly crawling around.
The Queen is there.
The evil ghost attacks!
The powerful electromagnetic acceleration channel gave the Ghost an extremely high initial speed. It was like a red cannonball, rushing towards the direction where the Dongfeng had just fired!
The back thrusters ejected balls of matter, providing the Ghost with a constant supply of thrust!
Edwang heard the vibration of the mecha parts, heard Yang Ming's heavy breathing, and heard Lu's constant warnings about the pressure limit.
Adwant could barely breathe.
He was so nervous that his muscles were tense. He looked in disbelief as the mecha rushed through the passage that the Zerg had no time to close, towards the Zerg queen, towards the deepest part of that dark space!
charge!
Charge forward without hesitation!
The Dongfeng released a magnetic halo, and the Ligui slowed down drastically at the end of its charge!
Yang Ming let out a low growl. This was the limit of what he could normally endure!
Countless insects surrounded him, and dense rain of light bullets hit Yang Ming.
Dense marks appeared in front of Yang Ming's eyes, and the mecha's right hand had already grasped the hilt of the giant light blade.
"Law assisted driving!"
"yes!"
The projection screen in front of Edwan suddenly disappeared.
He stood up immediately and wanted to say something, but was afraid of disturbing Yang Ming and his assistant.
At this moment, the Ghost Mech was already deeply surrounded by insects, and Edward's expression was dull and filled with shock.
He believed in Yang Ming and he must be confident in choosing this fighting method.
Edwang sat down slowly, leaning back in his chair, staring at the photo of him, Emilia, and Yang Ming in front of him, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
'Your Majesty, if a country cannot even agree with its political leaders, the country will inevitably suffer from division and unrest.'
'Your Majesty, even if you have a close relationship with Gutonmaha, Leon and others, if they betray you, we won't even be able to provide a convoy.'
Edwan chuckled, cleared the voices in his mind, took a document and read it carefully.
They are consistent.
Adwant has confidence in this, and he must have confidence in this.
…
"The swarm has begun to defend! They are rushing towards where the queen is!"
"The White Ghost is charging in! It's charging into the swarm!"
"Fire! All ships, fire!"
"Don't be stingy with your energy! Cover the White Ghost! The bugs have gathered together! Use all your energy to fight! Don't let the bugs recover!"
The command channel was filled with chaotic shouts.
The local defense fleet, which had retreated to the edge of the planet, was now shooting at the Zerg desperately.
Some ships have even begun to mobilize the energy that should have been used for the protective shields.
At this moment, there were only a few light bullets flying towards them, and they did not need to defend themselves for the time being.
As for later...
If White Ghost can complete the decapitation, the Zerg will self-collapse; if White Ghost fails, even if they give all their energy to the protective shield, they will not be able to support new reinforcements.
At this moment, there are too many places that need reinforcements.
Three minutes after the Phantom Flame rushed into the swarm, the swarm began to shrink at an accelerated rate.
The insects on the periphery formed several huge circles, which seemed to have constructed some kind of force field to hinder the movement of the Ghost.
A few minutes later, crimson waves erupted from within the swarm and swept in all directions.
Across the distant vacuum, many people seemed to hear a loud shout.
It sounded like the roar of a ghost or the roar of a spirit.
The swarm of insects fell into chaos, the outer ring collapsed directly, the individuals in the swarm seemed to be confused, and many insects began to spin in place.
The human fleet's firepower continued to cover the Zerg's formation, and countless gaps were torn on the sides.
Fierce fighting.
charge.
As if to keep up with the mecha's pace, ships of all sizes began to charge towards the swarm.
Under the pressure of firepower, the swarm of insects began to retreat on a large scale!
This should not be an order from the queen. It seems that the insects are instinctively avoiding human fire.
The queen and the male insects are no longer able to command the outer insect swarms!
The scarlet wave erupted again, and in the middle of the wave, a figure jumped out of the belly of the mecha, dragging a huge light blade, and went straight into the gap in front that was opened by the scarlet wave.
Inside the gap, the queen trembled and dodged backwards, uttering mournful cries and sharp howls.
Behind Yang Ming's helmet, which was stained with insect blood, his cold eyes were devoid of any emotion.
A few minutes later.
The swarm of insects seemed to be dispersed by a beam of strong light, and the human fleet began to harvest the scattered swarm of insects.
In the bridge of the Dongfeng, Yang Ming knelt under the particle transmitter, holding the hilt of the huge light blade in his hand. He took off his helmet and kept breathing heavily.
An extreme feeling of weakness swept over his body, but soon...
strength.
The power fills every part of his body and bulges outward in every cell.
He fell forward and then rolled to the side, out of range of the particle transporter.
Several robots rushed over quickly and helped Yang Ming inject the gene stabilizing fluid according to special operating procedures.
"Begin the recovery of the Ghost."
"The Dongfeng has left the battlefield... Boss, should we rush to the next area immediately?"
"Well," Yang Ming's breathing began to calm down, "The time on the road is enough for me to rest."
Lu reminded: "The main gun of the Dongfeng also needs to be charged."
Yang Ming waved his hands, indicating that he didn't want to talk now, and continued to lie on the floor, trying to clear his mind.
To fight against the Zerg in space, one must act in one go. If one is trapped on the periphery of the swarm, then even if he and Posa, two ancient god transformers, are combined, they will be destroyed by the swarm's swarm tactics.
"Boss, I'm a little undecided about the choice of the second battlefield."
"Why?" Yang Ming wondered.
"There are three planets that need support the most right now. They are close to us and it takes almost the same time to get there," the lawyer paused, "one of them is Sakaar."
"There's a swarm of insects there?"
Yang Ming frowned slightly.
"Give priority to support, I have several friends there."
"Yes, Boss, the route has been re-planned."
…
In the tail cabin, there is the cockpit of the Red Demon mecha standing in front of the cabin door.
026 pursed his lips and looked at the Ghost being towed back by several drones outside, with several black lines on his forehead.
Because of the different positioning of the mecha, the Red Demon can only provide some fire support near the hull.
So, instead of excitedly following her boss to make random preparations, she might as well continue doing some maintenance work.
