Chapter 416 The Ultimate Queen!
Yang Ming did not expect that before he had his own dreadnought fleet, his Dongfeng had already begun to enjoy the treatment of being escorted by a fleet of six dreadnoughts.
The scale of the universe is enough to plunge any civilization that cannot master the technology of jump into a spiral of despair and decadence.
The main battlefield of the empire's fight against the Zerg swarm, which has buried more than 100 million soldiers, has once again welcomed a new batch of jump fleets.
The six most elite battle groups of the Imperial Army, plus more than twenty reinforced mixed fleets, totaling 16,000 of the Empire's most advanced conventional fleets, deployed a "harrier eagle" formation to escort the "small" Dongfeng.
They crossed the line of fire that had marked the last retreat of the Zerg swarm.
This is equivalent to taking the initiative.
In the space ahead, a large number of insects surrounded a star, like two dark clouds.
The Imperial fleet sailed into the vicinity of the star system , and the gun barrels of six dreadnoughts were locked onto the star's core.
If the powerful energy generated by the stellar explosion could be used to easily melt these bugs, it would be absolutely the best thing for the empire.
Insects are not stupid.
They began to use the wormholes that had been hatched earlier to travel short distances and gathered again at the edge of the star system.
The nineteen pseudo-queens are all "elite" with a body size of over a kilometer.
The number of active insect swarms here is still astonishing, but the good news is that after the previous continuous fierce fighting, the number of level 6 adults has dropped significantly. The threat posed by the level 5 swarms that have been replenished from other star fields is far lower than that of the level 6 adults.
This is the strongest Zerg army in the Milky Way, and also the direct lineage of the Queen. Every Zerg is hatched from eggs laid by the Queen, and has also gone through long years of accumulation.
Now, the Queen’s task before ascending to another dimension is to release this accumulation.
As long as the empire is defeated, this swarm of insects will directly rush to all parts of the galaxy, and those fourth- and fifth-order queens hiding at the edge of the galaxy will rush here in the shortest time possible to slaughter humans, occupy resources, and accelerate their own advancement.
It is no exaggeration to say that today's confrontation is a battle for the survival of the race.
The sixth-level adults began to assemble battleships.
This is the 'skill' they learned from the human army, and the Zerg warships are not just for show. These powerful warships composed of sixth-order adult insects can not only release biological energy, but also perform short-distance jumps, which have caused huge trouble for the human fleet before.
Now, the offense and defense have changed.
The swarm began to fight.
The Imperial fleet maintained a constant speed forward and the formation began to unfold, which was the most common and most effective iron wall battle formation.
The battle formation is supported by six dreadnoughts, with heavy battleships and super-large gunboats as the firepower fulcrum, accompanied by light battleships, main cruisers, and large gunboats as firepower supplements, which can form an effective firepower sniper belt.
Before the battle began, each ship began to release mechas.
Behind the iron wall battle formation, hundreds of large space carriers began to release swarms of drones. The main purpose of the drone swarms was to protect the warships in front and fight against the special insects that could get close to the warships.
There was no challenge.
There were no passionate slogans or shouts at the top of their lungs.
Everything is calm.
The soldiers of the Empire calmly operated their workbenches, engine rooms, and weapon systems, calmly followed orders, calmly welcomed the coming of the insect swarm, and calmly faced the extremely high death rate of 30%.
They have no choice but to win, by any means necessary.
No matter which planet they come from, now, behind them is their respective home.
The shield ship moves forward.
Umbrella-shaped protective shields were arranged neatly, and the human attack fleet became a rock, a tiny island in the universe.
The tide of insects surged forward like a wave.
Cunningly, they chose to infiltrate and surround this fleet, and their commanders had already realized that there must be stronger sniper forces on the two wings of this human fleet.
The battlefield changed rapidly in silence.
Li's figure appeared above the fleet, with his back to the stars, gazing at the deep space.
Tow boats sailing secretly appeared on both wings.
Fleets began to gather in four directions: left, right, top and bottom of the main battleship.
The number of warships deployed on the front battlefield, not including the "replenishment ships" below 500 meters, has exceeded 50,000.
Half of the empire’s military strength is here!
The war broke out first on the left wing, and the fleet fired and moved in an orderly manner.
Humans and Zerg began a fierce battle in this airspace.
In just half a galaxy, fierce battles broke out simultaneously in the left, right, up and down directions. Ships were constantly blown into cosmic dust, and countless insects continued to dissipate in the light of the main guns.
It was at this moment that Yang Ming finally understood where mankind's obsession with the energy levels of warships' main guns came from.
If the firepower is insufficient, the whole game will be lost.
"whirling."
"I am here."
On the back of the Dongfeng, two mechas equipped with flying backpacks stood side by side.
Yang Ming was giving his final instructions before the battle: "Remember our goal today. As long as we can bring the Queen to the battlefield, we will have accomplished most of our mission."
"Um."
Yang Ming continued, "Remember our next battle plan . This time we will attack in turns. Now the insect tide is being held back from four sides, and the battle array in the middle will soon press forward. I will tell you which pseudo-queen to attack. I'm not with you, so you must learn to control yourself... If you really can't do it, bite your tongue."
Posa muttered in a low voice: "I prepared a sobering potion."
"That thing really worked for you?"
"You can try," Posa snorted.
Lu's voice came through their headphones: "Boss, we have received the order to prepare for the attack."
"I'm sorry, Lu."
Yang Ming whispered.
Lu smiled and said, "Boss, your consideration makes sense. If we don't arrange it this way, we won't be able to control the exact timing of the experiment. By the way, I also need to learn how to command and dispatch more than tens of thousands of ships. This is also my shortcoming."
"How are the preparations going on Hera's end?"
"Everything went well," Lu said softly, "Miss Hera is now equivalent to a pseudo-queen. To be precise, we now have more than a thousand pseudo-queens on hand."
Yang Ming raised his eyebrows slightly.
drop!
The acceleration track on the Dongfeng began to shine blue.
Lu also switched to combat readiness and projected a series of information in front of Posa.
Two minutes later, the fleet in the center began to press forward. Posa catapulted the Ghost forward, as if she was leading nearly 20,000 warships alone.
Bioshield is off.
The whirling breath attracted the attention of all the insects in the world.
However, the insect swarm did not gather in high density to give the Imperial fleet an opportunity to take advantage. They still maintained the basic logic of dispersing and rushing forward, but right in front of Posa, the sixth-level adult insects gathered into a barrier.
The dreadnought fired its first salvo!
The main fleet group in the center began to output full firepower.
Several gaps were torn in the swarm's barrier, and the Ghost driven by Posa locked onto a false queen and began to accelerate its maneuver.
The terrifying power of the Imperial Guard System was once again demonstrated here.
Every secondary gun and all the firepower points of the central main battleship group are under R's precise control.
The shipborne main brain formed a complete computing network. The Empire's unified network continuously provided off-site computing resources, and the entire space was filled with hundreds of different communication methods.
The main fleet group in the center has only one mission, and the six major battle groups have only one task - to cover the charge of the ancient god life forms.
The swarm of insects began to attack fiercely. The false queen tried to retreat, but the swarm of insects behind her had already pressed forward, making it unable to find a suitable escape route.
The queen seemed to have issued some kind of order, and the fake queen actually charged towards Posa.
Both sides are testing each other.
But when Posha attacked the fake queen, she did not hesitate at all.
After more than ten minutes of fierce fighting, the first pseudo-queen was ripped open by Posa, and the Ghost Mecha seemed to be trapped in heavy siege, but the second round of shooting from the three dreadnoughts cleared a way out for Posa.
The insect swarm was only slightly disturbed, and the swarms in the edge areas were harvested by the law;
Four-fifths of the swarm controlled by the pseudo-queen still maintained their battle formation and their fighting will was not affected.
Obviously, the Queen is in control of everything.
Posa did not want to fight and turned around to retreat.
The human fleet turned its firepower, and as the strength of the two increased, the human fleet established a temporary, slight advantage over the Zerg, and their target was locked on the second false queen.
Yang Ming attacks.
The two Ghost ships intersected in the ion beam jungle. The state of Posuo was very stable, which made Yang Ming completely worry-free.
Another series of fierce battles.
The Imperial fleet and the Zerg swarm were engaged in a tactical game in a vast space. The two sides had already engaged in close combat, with a large number of Imperial ships being damaged and the number of Zerg also decreasing significantly.
The tense situation on the battlefield often requires reinforcements to break it.
Behind the Zerg swarm, two tunnels with a diameter of more than 100 kilometers opened silently, and a new Zerg swarm joined the battlefield.
Behind the imperial fleet, traction lights continued to light up, and the conventional combat forces that the empire could mobilize were deployed to the front battlefield in an orderly manner.
This is the decisive battle.
Twelve minutes after Yang Ming attacked, the second fake queen was killed.
The fleet in the center was like a rock, breaking through the insect tide.
The two sides began to engage in close combat.
Human warships, mechas, drones and swarms of insects repeatedly appeared in a small airspace.
Yang Ming returned and Posa attacked again.
The Dongfeng has reached the front of the fleet, and its powerful firepower is also playing a small tactical value.
Two hours after the war started.
The six false queens were conquered by Yang Ming and Po Suo respectively.
The human fleet gained a slight advantage, but both sides paid a heavy price.
The balance began to be tipped at this time.
At the upper left of the insect swarm, one hundred and twenty-eight traction light beams flashed at the same time!
One after another, three-thousand-meter-class heavy battleships with black paint and closed portholes appeared under the light column!
They have extremely exaggerated main gun shapes, and the overall shape is like a laser pistol with the handle sawed off. The energy under those main guns has been overloaded and is gushing forward at the same time!
Nearly four thousand pure heavy battleships joined the battle first!
Four thousand azure and bluish-white beams of light directly evaporated the insect swarm in the airspace ahead!
Next to these heavy battleships, kilometer-class light battleships, comprehensive supply ships, and shield ships, arranged in a '1:2:2:1' pattern, appeared one after another.
The flag of Sherman's Empire flew in the space above the ship.
Levi's Fleet!
The empire's most core combat force has joined the battle sequence at this moment!
Moreover, at once, there were a total of 4,000 heavy battleships, 8,000 light battleships and the same number of supply ships. What was even more exaggerated was the 4,000 large shield ships with certain counterattack firepower.
What does "all the same color" mean?
This is all the same color!
These pitch-black warships were like deep-sea mines thrown into a fish pond, tearing through the insect tide with unstoppable force and cutting off the retreat of at least half of the swarm.
In the corresponding other direction, more than 8,000 pitch-black warships appeared from a distance, identified a certain area, and began to bombard continuously.
The Zerg reinforcements hiding in that area were defeated and their whereabouts were revealed.
With Yang Ming and Posa killing six pseudo-queens, the Zerg tide was already in a weak position. The participation of Levi's fleet directly tipped the balance of victory.
The Zerg tide is also the accumulation of Zerg.
And this accumulation is being rapidly consumed.
The problem that the queen must consider at this moment is that if she really abandons all the Zerg and still cannot take down the Human Empire, then when the Human Empire's fleet made of semi-permanent materials begins an expedition to the edge of the galaxy, the Zerg will suffer a fatal blow.
This is Reason’s battle plan.
It's simple to say, but incredibly complex to execute, and it accurately controls the queen.
Finally, after Yang Ming and Po Suo rested, they launched another surprise attack...
Coo-coo-woo——
Yang Ming and Po Suo stopped what they were doing at the same time and looked ahead.
"She's here."
"She's here."
"Lü, inform Li that the Queen is here."
"yes."
However, just as Lu finished agreeing, the deep space behind the insect tide seemed to be torn open, and a nebula that was nurturing stars could be seen, as well as the super-large queen mother body slowly flying out in front of the nebula background.
Is this the queen in the final form of the low-dimensional world?
According to the data that Lu showed in front of Yang Ming, the queen had an altitude of 6,000 kilometers. From the outside, she looked like a human wearing a long skirt, with a very clear face and hair-like bulges on her head.
That long skirt is actually the Zerg Queen's outer shell for self-protection, and inside is the horrible and dirty Zerg abdominal structure.
Even at this moment, various sixth-order adult insects continued to fly out from under the skirt to supplement the front-line insect swarm.
Yang Ming looked out and sighed, a trace of fear arose in his heart, but he then swept the fear away.
This is their natural enemy.
The queen slowly opened her arms, as if to embrace the light of the stars. Dense swarms of high-level adult insects gathered into long black snakes, extending outward under her arms.
She is the insect tide.
"So strong," Posa whispered.
Yang Ming said: "Don't worry, we don't need to deal with her today, we have the stellar cannon."
As soon as Yang Ming finished speaking, pillars of light rose from twenty-four giant induction ships directly above the imperial battle formation.
The nearby Zerg tried to interfere with these guide ships, but the nearby human warships had been prepared for a long time and unleashed stronger firepower than before.
The space was twisted and folded. The pinnacle of humanity's current jump technology, the most powerful star cannon fortress in the Milky Way, the Wrath Fortress, 'slowly' appeared in the expanding space.
The stellar cannon has already been charged.
A huge subspace coating slowly rose in front of the Queen.
When space was depolarized, violent streams of rays and ions appeared inside the star cannon.
Two-thirds of the Skywrath Fortress's reserve energy was transformed into a beam of light by this giant gun barrel with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers, lighting up the entire starry sky!
Clear the area ahead!
More than 200 million adult insects were directly or indirectly affected by this attack and evaporated in space.
The space barrier built in front of the Queen was broken almost instantly, and a huge beam of light hit the Queen's chest, seeming to burn and melt her body.
In the next ten minutes or so, the entire battlefield was eclipsed.
The human fleets were unable to receive signals normally and were temporarily fighting on their own;
The swarm seemed to be confused, which meant that there were some fluctuations in their connection network.
However, when the beam disappears.
The queen stood quietly high in the sky, her huge body still upright, with most of her chest broken, like her giant open mouth.
'ah--'
The Queen let out a sharp scream like a whale.
The nearby swarms of insects rushed back, quickly filling the Queen's wounds.
Obviously, this blow dealt a heavy blow to the Queen, but it was not fatal enough!
She withstood the stellar cannon!
The Queen was unable to re-complete the Warp coating immediately, so the second shot from the Skywrath Fortress would have to wait for a relatively long period of time.
Many generals of the empire began to feel cold in their hands and feet after seeing this scene.
However, Yang Ming and Po Su suddenly heard a chuckle.
"It's so weak. Is it just this weak? I've really overestimated this bug all along."
Li spoke softly, his voice, which had always been calm, now had a hint of playfulness.
“Major General Hanton, Lu’s host, you and Posha’s real combat mission has appeared. Please use the weapons given to you by the Fayya people to delay the Queen here.
“Give me thirteen minutes and thirty-two seconds to prepare. The Queen will try to escape in six minutes, and you must leave her body behind.
“In addition, if you want to defeat the Empire, it is far from enough to rely solely on the ‘Mechanical and Evolutionary’ classification technology accepted in the second test.
"However, you now have the opportunity to challenge him, Hanton Yangming Earth Pioneer, the great Lord of the Dark Star. In addition, Miss Hera's experiments are very interesting and creative. Her experiments can help you easily complete the delayed tasks."
Yang Ming suddenly turned his head, but all he saw was a chaotic battlefield behind him.
Li's voice returned to its original state:
"Please attack."
Yang Ming was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed. He turned his head and raised his right fist behind him, with his middle finger firmly raised.
"Posha, let's attract the Queen's attention! Lu, use your own judgment to decide whether to start Hera's experiment!"
"yes!"
