"Order, ships go forward and head to 269."
It is useless to hide at this time. It is necessary to eliminate the Tyron Assault Worm Hive Ship before it creates trouble. Bahram decisively ordered the flagship to change its direction, with the purpose of making the other party change its direction. Bahram has noticed that Tyron's biological ships will greatly reduce their speed when turning. They do not have the ability of inertial navigation such as the Spiritual race or space necromancers.
As the Eternal Loyal left the fleet and headed for a new direction, the charge of the Hive Mothercraft immediately began to turn around, which caused its speed to slow down.
"Change cyclone torpedo ready for launch, sideways macro cannons, keeping the flank fire passages unobstructed."
Bahram calmly issued the order, and at this time the flagship was completely out of the protection of the fleet. Once a problem arises, it may be a catastrophe.
But here is already within the influence of the planet's gravitational field. He believes that such a huge mass of biological ship will definitely be affected, and its steering will be very difficult.
As he expected, after turning a 90° bend, the speed of the Hive Mothership suddenly dropped to one tenth of its original speed.
The Eternal Loyalty quickly turned with the help of its powerful engine, and at the same time, the array of extinction-type macro cannons on the port side began to roar, slamming out the huge armor-piercing bombs and crossing the void.
The fierce artillery fire instantly blew the head of the insect nest mothership into a crater, but it could not kill such a giant beast. At this time, the torpedo also completed its launch preparation.
In the flames of the plasma, several shots ran towards the slow-down Horde Mothership. The moment it hit its body and head, the nuclear flame destroyed one-third of its body, and the behemoth eventually twitched and died.
But Bahram didn't have time to cheer, because behind the dead nest mothership was filled with uncountable enemy ships.
"Flagship Returns to Formation."
Just as the Eternal Loyalty returned to the fleet, Tyron's bio-ship also chased and fired.
Soon, the battle became increasingly fierce. Hundreds of Tyron biological ships arrived at the orbit of Westeros IV. Just as they dropped cysts, the fleets on the left and right wings also came up again. However, because the attacks on Tyron ships were much more than before and could not be quickly cleaned up, the number of cysts released increased exponentially.
At this time, tens of thousands of Tyron bioships surrounded the main fleet of the Astral Knights' Chapter from a grand scale, just like an isolated island that was stubbornly insisted in the surging sea. At this time, the number of the central fleet was no longer enough to stop the insect tide, but maintaining a stable strategic point can help the fleets on the left and right wings quickly annihilate the enemies in the orbit.
Then Bahram can use his last resort to maintain his original strategy.
"The Fourth Strike Squadron reported that the left hull of the Saint Shield was subjected to continuous attacks, and the firepower output was reduced by 23%!"
"Logon Squadron reported that the number of carrier-based aircraft is less than 54% of the combat readiness reserve value!"
"The First Squadron of the Vipers reported that all the reserved ammunition has been fired!"
Listening to reports from all over the place, Bahram tried to keep himself calm, but sweat began to appear on his face. His eyes were collecting a large amount of combat information at all times and constantly sending instructions to strive to keep the group's firepower at a relatively balanced level.
At this time, the biological warships could be said to have surrounded the entire fleet from all directions. The heavy rain of spines, biological torpedoes and plasma continued to burst out light on the void shield. The more violent lasers and artillery fire in response to their fiercer lasers and artillery fires, hundreds of thousands of automatic defense turrets weave dense air defense nets, struggling to intercept the cysts and torpedoes flying towards the ship's regiment. The fury and sword-tail fighters shuttled through the rain of bullets and attacked the terrible creatures soaring in space.
The wreckage of thousands of Tyron ships and millions of Tyron creatures floated in the void, but this hardly made their number appear to be reduced, and among the cruisers, there were also slowly rotating steel wreckage.
Seventeen ships have been sunk. Although most of them are small ships, the main ships have begun to suffer serious injuries.
"Sir! Triumph sends a red signal!"
"What!?"
The red signal means a "deadly battle". Bahram was shocked and hurriedly looked at the observation camera beside him.
The situation of this Mars-class battlecruiser is already very serious. Because it is located at the outer periphery of the ship, it has been attacked relatively intensively, but the most deadly is Tyron's landing spores. Those spores stick to the powerful battleship like tumors, spreading from the bow to the stern. Bahram can almost imagine how many ferocious beasts are filled with it.
"Company Commander Falzad!"
Bahram quickly called the commander of the battleship, the third company commander of the battleship.
"Captain Falzad! Can you hear it?"
After a burst of noise, the other party's vague voice came, as if there were fierce gunfire and beasts roars in the background.
"...I am here."
"How is the situation!"
"Everything... is under control..."
"Can--"
Bahram wanted to say why he didn't report any situation immediately, but he swallowed it in the end.
In the end, he changed to a more gentle statement.
“Reinforcements are needed?”
"No...we can solve it...Damn it! Kill that samurai worm!"
Bahram looked at Talos.
"The third company is in danger, but now the teleportation is disturbed by Tyron. What should we do?"
Talos glanced at the situation and said:
"To withdraw the Triomphe, reinforcements will use two Terminator tactical squadrons to cooperate with heavy combat aircraft squadrons and transport boats to transport them up with Stormbirds and Transport Boats."
"good!"
Soon, Bahram issued an order to the Triumph's bridge to retreat, and the victim-class combat barge Storm replaced its fire position.
At the same time, several stormbirds and transport boats left the Eternal Loyalty and galloped towards the Triumph that was staggering backwards. They were carrying two squads of Kentka Terminators in the eleventh company, and what they were trying to save was a ship filled with Tyron creatures...
"Why are there more and more..."
The front, which had obvious gaps, was still resisting the fierce attack of the insects, like a gray island in a tsunami of bones and blood. Hayes stood on the observation post, and his brave figure stood under the banner, facing the craze of greed.
The swarm extended from one side of the plain to the other, and endless tides rushed to the northern defensive positions of Sancha City, unable to wait to tear everything to pieces.
Further apart, giant sporidia and flame-swallowing insects were approaching with symbiotic living cannons. Their shaking gait made their high protruding backs shaking, but whenever they were about to enter the launch position, heavy artillery and warships behind the human positions immediately bombarded the creatures and killed them before they could even launch them.
Chapter completed!
