Chapter 406: First Battle!
The first contact between the Imperial fleet and the Zerg swarm quickly entered a fierce stage as soon as it began.
After the Imperial Dreadnought opened fire, a pseudo-queen appeared with a large swarm of Zerg and tried to surround the human fleet from multiple directions.
Both sides seem to be testing each other.
However, the insect swarm's probing had already caused a small amount of "panic" on the Empire's side.
Stealth Zerg are special adults above level five. They are special operations adults evolved by the Zerg against human fleets. They have the ability to fly and are usually used as front-line soldiers in harassing operations against human fleets. There are more than six different forms.
Hundreds of thousands of hidden insect swarms suddenly appeared and began to attack the outer protective shields of some battleships.
Their forelimbs are equipped with special electromagnetic vibration frequencies, which constantly try to resonate with the protective shields of human ships, intending to enter the inside of the shields and directly attack the hull.
The hull of a ship that comes into contact with the fifth or sixth stage adults will be torn into holes in a very short time.
There was panic on the human side, but the operators of each ship still received accurate and precise instructions.
The close-range defense guns fired in a staggered pattern.
A large number of hidden insect swarms were directly melted!
The small drone swarm that had been prepared for a long time quickly entered the battle.
One by one, manned mechas ejected their combat bays. The mecha operators, who had been waiting for a long time, were tense and, as they had been trained, used their automatic aiming systems to lock onto nearby bugs and then pressed the fire button.
The micro missiles dragged their tail flames towards the nearby insects, and the gaps between the warships had become another battlefield!
A supply ship suddenly exploded!
The light radiation from the explosion caused the protective shields of more than ten nearby ships to fluctuate at the same time!
Thousands of mosquito-shaped stealth insects, more than ten meters long, flew out in the explosion and launched a suicide charge towards the ship in all directions.
But more mechas and drone swarms rushed out of the ship.
Lasers lit up one after another, and less than ten percent of them missed their target .
On the periphery, the insects have completed the encirclement. The two huge swarms above and below are like terrifying monsters with huge mouths opened, trying to swallow the more than 6,000 ships in one gulp!
Shoot, shoot, shoot!
The operators of each ship executed the various instructions that appeared in front of them and in their ears at the fastest speed.
These conventional combat warships of the Empire have exerted their performance to the limit at this moment.
Those commanders and generals can only play a supplementary role at this moment. Some experienced generals have roughly calculated that when the upper and lower swarms of insects come into direct contact with the fleet, only 20% of their number will remain, which will not pose much threat to the fleet.
Moreover, the closer they are to the ships, the greater the effect of their heavy bombs.
Supply ships shuttled around the Whale Head, replenishing energy in an orderly manner, giving the soldiers the confidence to face the subsequent insect swarms...
Right at this moment!
A shrill warning sounded behind the 'whale group'.
The space vibration device installed by the Empire in the rear seemed to have failed, and dark gaps appeared in the rear.
Another pseudo-queen insect emitting a gentle white light appeared. At a height of more than 600 meters, its upper body was anthropomorphic and its lower body was terrifying, which made many veterans feel numb.
The second pseudo-queen was surrounded by three hundred Zerg warships, and these Zerg warships all had dazzling golden patterns on their bodies.
Double team from front and back!
In the first encounter, the Zerg revealed their new evolved characteristics!
On the ship, everyone from generals to soldiers were having difficulty breathing.
This is almost a battle that is bound to be lost. The only difference is how many insects they can consume and how much contribution they can make to fighting the insect tide!
Some people lowered their heads and retched due to excessive pressure, some people couldn't help but swear when they saw the swarm of insects appearing behind them, but no one stopped the work in their hands.
The despair in their eyes could not extinguish the passion in their hearts.
At this time, all the ship operators received the same message.
Move forward!
Charge forward!
The route of the charge was tilted upwards! The ship made a 30-degree clockwise adjustment, with 60% of its firepower concentrated on the upper side. The dreadnought targeted the false queen in front of it!
In the command center, in the beam of light, Li had already raised her hands. Her eyes were extremely bright, and a faint sneer appeared at the corners of her mouth.
The Imperial fleet launched an attack charge on the Zerg swarm ahead!
The Zerg's response is more direct.
They ignored the deep minefield ahead, and all the warships were deployed to launch an encirclement and attack on the Imperial fleet!
They tried to use the swarm of insects tactics to annihilate this human army!
…
"Quick! Hurry up!"
Gris kept yelling, and they, who had just received new orders, retreated from the assault boat and gathered on the catapult track in the front cabin of the assault ship.
Gris really couldn't understand what this commander was thinking.
But now, he and his teammates all felt the crisis of life and death.
There were bugs everywhere, up and down, front and back.
The Imperial fleet was charging head-on, and the assault ships they were on had already reached the front area of the fleet after continuous and precise maneuvers.
They were right next to the dreadnought.
Fifty thousand transformed warriors from Skywrath Fortress, wearing their armor, boarded thirty-two of the Empire's most advanced assault ships, guarded two dreadnoughts, and charged head-on.
Grace suddenly understood.
If they can kill the false queen head-on, the Zerg swarm in front will lose most of its combat effectiveness. Even if the Zerg swarm can connect to the command system of the queen in the rear, it will cause widespread chaos. The fleet will have the opportunity to enter the jumpable area and retreat before more Zerg reinforcements arrive in the front!
Before he could marvel at the clear thinking of the Imperial Guard system, Gris had already sensed that they were about to face a severe battle of attrition.
"Captain Gris, I'm from the Empire's Total Defense System."
A calm female voice suddenly appeared in his earphones:
"You will launch an attack on the pseudo-queen in front of you in four minutes. I have already lifted the restrictions on the weapons you can carry. You will carry two exotic matter shaped energy bombs. You only need to send these bombs to the vicinity of the pseudo-queen. Once they come into contact with a space Zerg of sufficient mass, you can destroy the queen.
“Please remember that the exotic matter bomb is very precious. You only have two chances. It is up to me to decide whether to detonate the bomb.
"Now, please make a broadcast to the commandos and boost their morale."
"Where is Ghost and Hanton?"
"He has not yet accessed the command system. Can he make a broadcast?"
Grace closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, and seemed to understand something, and said slowly: "Okay."
Ding, ding ding.
"I'm Gris."
Grace said in a deep voice:
“You have all seen the current situation, so I won’t say any more nonsense. Now is the time for us to stand up.
"If we kill the queen in front of us, we will have a chance to find a way out.
"This is just the vanguard of the Zerg tide. This is just their attempt to test our human fleet. If we can't even resist this level of Zerg tide, they will wantonly slaughter our families and loved ones."
Boom, boom.
There was a humming sound coming from the assault ship, and the dreadnought next to it had begun its third rapid charging.
Gris raised his voice:
"Now! Our ships are speeding forward! The dreadnoughts will clear the obstacles ahead for us.
“The command system has marked the two core teams!
"What we have to do is charge forward! Don't retreat! Use your last bit of energy to tear open a gap in the enemy's formation and let the core team get close to the queen!
"Follow the guidance of the dreadnought! The Ghost is waiting for us ahead!"
ghost!
White ghost!
The evasive gazes of many cyborgs became firm.
They are not afraid of charging towards death, nor are they afraid of being buried in the swarm of insects. They are only afraid that their sacrifice will be in vain and their life will become meaningless.
Yes, they still have White Ghost.
This commando team came to this battlefield just to follow the white ghost!
More than thirty assault ships began to advance at full speed!
Towards the dark starry sky;
Towards the densely packed red wall on the biological radar;
Towards the glimmer of hope for the fleet behind!
"One last check of weaponry."
Gris's deep voice suppressed his surging fighting spirit.
The four walls of the assault ship's front cabin were lit up with blue light, and the strong magnetic field acted on the five to seven meter high mechas. Even though the pilots inside were cyborgs, they were under tremendous pressure and breathing became a little difficult.
The swarm of insects discovered this branch fleet that had rushed out, and countless spots of light lit up from the tails of the fireflies, covering the assault ships in a saturation manner.
At this moment, the light of the dreadnought tore through the darkness ahead!
The huge ion beam pounced on the hideous pseudo-queen at the limit of its range!
The light bullets were evaporated, and the wall formed by the swarm of insects was torn apart. The pseudo-queen seemed to be on the verge of death, but right in front of the pseudo-queen, a group of sixth-order shield beetles spread their thin wings on their backs.
That is the Zerg defensive wall called the Wall of Despair!
And there are more than ten floors!
Balls of light bloomed in front of him, making it difficult for Gris in the cockpit of the mecha to open his eyes; and when Gris was expecting that the attack of the dreadnought could tear apart the opponent's defense, he found that although a huge gap was torn in the last layer of Zerg barriers, a layer of distorted light and shadow appeared around the pseudo-queen.
Subspace protection shield!
These pseudo queens actually inherited the subspace protection shield of the big queen!
At that moment, despair surged into Gris' heart again, and Gris ' eyes were trembling, but the trembling quickly turned into determination, anger, and ferocity!
Assault ship charges at full speed!
The swarm of insects gathers together and attacks forward!
The rear fleet’s 30 percent firepower effectively covered the area, creating !
More than thirty ships are like more than thirty sharp arrows.
No retreat!
Charge, now only charge!
Gris listened to the increasingly suppressed breathing sounds in the team members' channel and wanted to encourage them, but found that his ordinary modified body could not withstand the current acceleration pressure, and even speaking became a little difficult.
But he tried to keep his tone as calm as possible.
"Everyone, prepare the reinforcement injections, and release the weapon safety."
"Repeat, prepare the reinforcement injection, release the weapon safety."
Boom!
The ship suddenly began to tremble, and sporadic rain of light bullets, carrying with them a group of special insects that moved at an incredibly fast speed, had already rushed to the front of the assault ship.
They were hitting the hull.
They are biting the hull!
The simulated gravity field brought by the bugs began to force the assault ship to slow down.
A golden countdown appeared on the cockpit screens of all team members.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4...
Gris took a sharp breath.
The front doors of the assault ship opened at the same time, and the front cabin acceleration magnetic field was output at full power!
The mechas rushed out of the front cabin like cannonballs and rushed towards the swarm of insects!
The rear fleet has 50 percent effective firepower coverage.
Mecha group, clear the area ahead!
Grace repeated the instructions he heard:
"Protect the core team! Follow the instructions you see! Don't stop!"
He swallowed, and saw the continuous explosions in the periphery from the corner of his eye. The quiet vacuum-like environment and the large-scale flames formed a sharp contrast.
"Brothers... they need us."
"A large team received."
"The Fifth Brigade received."
"Sixth Team received."
"The Third Brigade received..."
Butterfly-shaped tail flames spurted out from behind each mecha.
The warriors driving them rushed into the darkness and the embrace of the Zerg.
The core team is protected in the most core area.
But the swarms of insects that appeared in front of them were swarming towards these commandos who were carrying high-lethal weapons that could threaten their commanders.
The mechas fired the various weapons they carried.
However, Gris saw no possibility that they could break out from the front.
Sudden;
Suddenly, Grace seemed to hear a "boom" heartbeat, and that voice, that voice with a bit of coldness and questioning.
"Li, why do you deny me access to the command system?!"
"The timing of the battlefield is up to me, soldier."
"Let them retreat. I'll go and deal with that fake queen!"
"I cannot quantify your power. They are backup plans. Please do not question me. You can protest and give feedback to the committee after the war."
In Grace's headphones, the familiar voice fell silent.
He suddenly reacted.
The White Ghost is here! The White Ghost is hiding somewhere!
The Imperial Guard system wanted them to charge head-on to attract the firepower of the frontal swarm and create conditions for the White Ghost's surprise attack.
In the Dongfeng.
Yang Ming quickly pressed buttons one after another, and the Ghost mecha popped up in the tail cabin and stood on the back of the Dongfeng.
Ahead, the 500-meter-long electromagnetic acceleration field is ready!
"First mate, evacuate the battlefield immediately after ejection!"
"I understand," Kolev's voice was low and powerful.
"Full power acceleration."
"Repeat, full speed."
Yang Ming took a deep breath, stretched his body, and embedded his hands and feet into the inner layer of the mecha. This seven-meter-tall, slightly slender mecha began to rush forward.
A series of explosions occurred behind the mecha, and dazzling arcs of light burst out from the electromagnetic passages on both sides.
The huge thrust almost made Yang Ming groan in pain!
In just a few seconds, the Dongfeng pushed the Ghost Robot to one thousandth of the speed of light! (Note: not the initial zero speed.)
In Yang Ming's eyes, there was only the figure of the fake queen.
Even though the biological shielding device was still turned on at this moment, even though he was still a ghost that the Zerg could not notice, but now, the desire to kill in Yang Ming's heart was almost uncontrollable.
The last of his sanity turned into a loud shout:
"Gris! Save our strength!"
The jammer is off.
Countless noisy sounds appeared in Yang Ming's ears.
The entire swarm of insects on the battlefield almost paused for a moment, and many insects turned their heads to look towards the front where the fake queen was.
There, a scarlet meteor streaked across the sky at high speed and hit the fake queen.
There, a beam of red light suddenly burst out. It was not aggressive at all, but like a ball of fire, it was reflected in the eyes of these insects.
It was like a giant appeared there!
There was a mecha there, unfolding a twelve-meter-long light blade that vibrated at a high frequency!
The fake queen turned her head suddenly and let out a series of sharp screams. Countless insects rushed towards the evil ghost mecha.
But at this moment, Yang Ming's eyes in the mecha were bloodshot and his gaze was icy cold. It seemed that dissolved cell tissues appeared at the ends of his limbs. These cell tissues had completely wrapped and filled the Evil Ghost!
Give it life;
Give it eternity!
The Evil Ghost raised its head and roared. The red flames turned into shock waves that swept in all directions. The eyes of the horrible adult insects with golden patterns became dull, but the speed of this mecha did not slow down at all.
Full speed ahead!
The simulated gravity fields cancel each other out!
A butterfly tail flame appeared behind the Ghost Mecha, closely following the red shock wave it released!
The shock wave ignored the subspace shield!
The false queen covered her head in pain, and the surrounding subspace shield dissipated in an instant, and the ghost mecha just passed the edge of the collapsed shield!
The false queen suddenly turned her head, let out a sharp roar similar to a mental shock, and slapped the Ghost Ship with her palm!
The light blade slashes horizontally!
The Ghost slid in a zigzag pattern like a real living organism, instantly cutting through the false queen's arm and slashing towards its ever-swelling forehead!
A few seconds later, a white shock wave appeared behind the swarm.
There was a large-scale riot in the Zerg ahead, and the Imperial fleet dived downwards at full speed.
