Chapter 253 Stellar Cannon! [Happy New Year’s Eve]
"trap?"
Yang Ming didn't understand.
Lu's projection shrank into a palm-sized pocket, flew in front of Yang Ming, and quickly opened a battlefield bird's eye view.
"Boss, you see, the female insect has been on the edge of the battlefield and has maintained enough troops around her to prepare for a surprise attack.
"This swarm of insects may seem terrifying in number, but in fact it may be just cannon fodder, used to consume the empire's troops. There are always a large number of high-level burrowing insects hiding around the mother worm.
"The other thing is the state of the Imperial Dreadnought. Shooting three times in a row is the limit of the Dreadnought. It can just clear out twelve pseudo-mother bugs, and then it will enter a longer cooling phase..."
Yang Ming nodded: "Don't worry, those old guys in the Imperial Military Department must have thought of what we can think of. There must be ambushes around. I'm more worried about another problem now."
"What?"
"Even if these insect swarms are cannon fodder, there are too many of them, and the level six adults are too destructive."
Two beams of light suddenly appeared on the Emperor Star.
Yang Ming seemed to hear the radio noise there, and heard a captain calling for positions and shooting.
"The stellar cannon begins to charge."
"The entire ship is preparing to recharge. No matter how much energy is left, it will be recharged immediately and the supply ship will move forward.
"Dreadnought fire... the fire is invalid!"
Yang Ming drew a line:
"You see, the defense lines have begun to retreat simultaneously, which will put strong pressure on the soldiers.
Bly shrugged slightly: "I'm praying."
…
"yes!"
On the left side of the battlefield, in the airspace not affected by the insect swarm, several tractor ships revealed their outlines. These special ships, which were shaped like sailing ships, shot out several bright light pillars in the deep starry sky!
The oscillating space was forcibly stabilized.
Most of the wormhole around the Queen collapsed, each Zerg warship suffered fatal blows before they could deploy, and large fusion light balls appeared around the Queen!
"A strong bioenergetic reaction was detected at the other end of the wormhole!"
Along with this expansion, there is also the silver-white protective shield that can completely withstand the firepower of the human fleet.
Space suddenly expands!
"ah--"
The ambush fleet began to fire continuously. After the dreadnought fired once with full energy, it also quickly replenished its energy and prepared for the second shot.
"I am...Li."
"The reason for awakening is the crisis of the second disaster. The sixth-level queen needs to resist the threat from hostile interstellar forces.
In front of the fleet, continuous explosions of light suddenly appeared in the upper and lower airspace.
Catherine frowned and said, "Will this help?"
Human beings are extremely small.
"There is unidentifiable energy around the Queen. This energy separates space. General, this means that the Queen seems to be in the same space as us, but in fact she is not in the same space as us. Of course, this does not mean that
She is no longer in the same space as us."
The blue light spreads rapidly on the ground like a shock wave.
"A response strategy has been developed...it is necessary to unlock self-permissions...the corresponding permissions have been unlocked."
"A large number of space collapses were detected near the Queen!"
He suddenly understood.
The remaining insect waves are still impacting the defense line. The pressure brought by the first wave of insect waves to the fleet is still continuing, but the pressure has begun to weaken rapidly.
Outside the Emperor Star, Catherine and a large number of super-modifiers were quietly waiting for the order to attack.
A code that flashed continuously appeared on a square black box. Then the black box slowly levitated and disassembled itself, revealing the girl curled up quietly inside.
The ion beam sweeps across.
She began to chant something, and her arms covered with fine scales slowly opened up, as if to embrace the human fleet.
The ripples in space were rapid and steady, and circles of rotating rings appeared on the Skywrath Fortress. A disk with a diameter of more than fifteen kilometers appeared in the center of the Skywrath Fortress, and the bottom of the disk was rapidly collapsing!
A huge gun barrel appeared in the middle of the fortress, and the gun barrel was aimed at the Queen's battleship ahead!
In the dark space, the girl slowly raised her right hand.
Thomas' Adam's apple trembled.
"Boss, the first batch of insect waves has been stopped," Lu was obviously relieved. "Although many small combat units were sacrificed, the imperial fleet was not seriously damaged."
"Pray?" Catherine didn't know why.
Immediately afterwards, the archbishop's thin, old body bent downwards, and he slammed the scepter into the groove in the ground.
She closed her eyes and slowly floated her body, and a faint blue light appeared in her limbs. Those blue lights gathered into shackles, which were wrapped around her limbs and neck, spreading to the deepest part of the dark space.
The slender antimatter belts broke free from the constraints of the magnetic field, like wires, detonating the swarm of insects trying to make a detour!
The commander of the Imperial Fleet had obviously anticipated the insect tide's actions.
Thomas growled.
Faya's game does not serve those low-level civilizations, but serves these already extremely powerful human civilizations in the galaxy.
The red spots have largely faded.
"General! The detector captured a large number of burrowing insects sacrificing themselves, opening a space wormhole!"
Thomas gave the order, his brain thinking rapidly.
The ripples in space visible to the naked eye are constantly trembling.
Small combat units are on full firepower!
The survival of the Imperial fleet now depends entirely on the small combat units in the gaps between these shield ships!
The insect tide began to attack the defense line.
"She is powerful, charming and powerful."
In just half a minute, the starlight representing these small combat units was extinguished by the insect swarm, but more starlight gathered and filled forward, creating counter-pressure with firepower.
what happened?
A blue light appeared at the tip of the scepter.
They are the armed forces directly under the Presbyterian House, and they have also been transferred to the third line of defense at this moment. In Catherine's opinion, this is far inferior to the military transformation troops who have been transferred to the front line.
The bad news is... the Queen seems to be pissed off.
"Powered on."
He seemed to be witnessing the birth of a star made by insects.
Lu held her chin and kept thinking.
A new firepower belt appeared on the battlefield!
But Thomas frowned tightly.
Thomas's voice was extremely high: "Fire!"
All he could see in his eyes were the general details of the defense line, the number of enemies and the mobilization of his own troops. He did not have any time to care about how those soldiers died and how they were buried by the swarm of insects.
The blue light rushed out of the temple, spread deeper underground, and quickly lit up a certain module of the Emperor Star.
It was the fury of the human fleet, almost eclipsing the stars!
Between these lights is the collision of two races, the collision of flesh and metal.
General Thomas calmly ordered:
"Release the firepower of the dreadnought frigate group and use all your strength to encircle and suppress the insect swarms near the defense line.
The space around the tow boat is expanding rapidly, and the time that originally expanded smoothly suddenly becomes very slow here!
The induction is on, the fleet is jumping!
Ships of different sizes appeared near the light pillar, and two dreadnoughts that had completed safety charging in advance used their cannons to aim at the Queen.
"Thinking body detection, self-awareness detection, shackles detection, empire network detection... abnormal points were found and marked. It was determined that the abnormal points were not related to the crisis and have been ignored..."
The four dreadnoughts fired again, and the huge ion beam almost passed along the edge of the fleet's defense line, clearing a wide space in front of the fleet.
The good news is that the ambush caught the insect swarm off guard, and most of the originally opened space wormholes collapsed.
"General! The Queen starts to move forward! She's going to hit us directly!"
The lights everywhere in the fortress were instantly extinguished, the rotating rings quickly stabilized, and the cannon barrel in the center appeared with clusters of seemingly unstable light.
When she felt that her performance was almost done, she held the scepter with both hands and activated the biological code on the scepter.
The flesh and blood of the soldiers are hidden in the thinly armored machinery. They sit behind the operating console of the small ship, stand in the ship-based mechas and even the maintenance mechas, facing the tsunami coming from the front.
swarm of insects, trying their best to use up all the energy they have.
Use small boats, individual combat groups, mecha swarms, and millions of drone swarms rushing from behind to fill the defense gaps of more than two hundred shield ships to form an imperial wall that blocks the insect swarms!
A planet!
A huge planet constructed from metal modules!
A planet with a diameter of 1,600 kilometers was squeezed out of the ripples of space!
Fortress of Wrath?
Can the Skywrath Fortress jump? Doesn't this thing just run at the imperial pass and serve as a training base...
One after another, the Zerg warships flew out of the wormhole!
It's now!
He felt it all.
Lieutenant General Thomas stood on the command podium.
"The imperial fleet must form another short-range defense line near the shield ship protection line to prevent the fleet from being directly charged by the insect swarm."
He saw pieces of starlight appearing near the battleship. These stars gathered more and more, but they did not retreat with the battleship, but stayed in place, as if the battleship had left a thick 'shell'.
The queen, who was originally more than 30,000 meters tall, began to expand rapidly and became larger. She only maintained her original shape and outline, and her facial features gradually became blurred.
Although a population of eight billion sounds like a precious resource, for a powerful galactic country, it is only the weight of a few marginal administrative stars.
Although this is a tug-of-war destined to cost a lot of sacrifices, the forward trend of the insect tide has been abruptly curbed by this line of defense!
The battlefield was filled with light and brightness left after the annihilation of antimatter.
They shouted and chanted, but the powerful shield ship not far away could not give them any sense of security.
026 turned his head and looked around, and found that all he could see was distorted light, and he could only continue to harvest the fourth-order insects outside.
Therefore, it is not that the forerunner changed anything, but that he, the forerunner with a little information advantage, used the information to do something, and thus changed something.
Everywhere around the Queen, space was severely distorted, and more than a dozen wormholes traced their outlines by the lens effects on their edges.
damn it!
How on earth should I fight this damn thing!
This is an energy shield that even a dreadnought cannot blast away!
Instead, the cockpit became quiet. Yang Ming thought for a moment, and Lu suddenly said: "Boss! The hatches of each battleship are open!"
The human warships made a collective charging posture.
Suddenly there was light in a dark space.
The unmanned attack aircraft formation bombed forward with full firepower. The laser cannons carried on the mechas' shoulders fired at the same time. All the firepower of the small ship hit a single Zerg unit!
The close-range offensive and defensive battle in space begins.
The shield ship stretched the shield to the maximum extent, and the gap in the light shield became the main area for the medium-sized warship to vent its firepower, but there were still a large number of insects rushing through the gap in the light shield.
Yang Ming looked at the battlefield 'below' in the holographic image.
Catherine crossed her arms and whispered: "Hasn't the order to attack been issued yet?"
The queen fused with the insect swarm, the energy shield that cannot be broken, the 'Queen's Battleship' that is constantly approaching the fleet...
The Zerg attempt to attack the shield ship;
The red dots representing the insect tide are fading rapidly.
Bligh murmured softly.
Yang Ming just said: "There are still plenty of troops on the supply ship."
General Thomas clenched his white-gloved fists and stared forward.
General Thomas suddenly waved forward vigorously!
"Twelve to fifteen formations, towing the jump!"
Half of the insect swarm chose to attack the fleet formation head-on, while half of the insect swarm suddenly changed direction and wanted to surround the imperial fleet from both top and bottom directions.
At this moment, the super-modifiers were also attracted by the images sent back from the front line.
Deep in the Emperor Star, near the Imperial Palace, is the magnificent temple standing in the dark underground.
The earth is only the nourishment for the civilization of the Milky Way.
She murmured softly.
But he added in his heart - the master must have a way to deal with her.
The twelve tugboats quickly got into position and seemed to form a huge dodecagon, shining out twelve beams of light.
The girl slowly opened her eyes and looked into the depths of the dark space.
Behind the queen, the space wormhole was dug again, and countless bugs swarmed out and merged directly into the queen's body.
There, the huge queen was wrapped in countless adult insects, and the insect swarm seemed to form some kind of strange position.
"The main battleships of Line 2 move forward to fill the vacancies!"
The human warriors used their flesh and blood and various machines to start a tug of war with the Zerg.
Bly smiled and said: "A friend of mine who is involved in the development of civilization told me that the archbishop has started a prayer ceremony to pray to the goddess to protect the empire."
All orders on the front line come from the hands of imperial generals with bright futures.
A silver-white protective shield visible to the naked eye appeared around her.
"No."
An invisible wave swept through the internal network of the Imperial Star Circle, and on the battlefield, General Thomas suddenly received a series of instructions from the top commander.
"What are the higher-ups doing!" Catherine cursed in a low voice.
Yang Ming watched all this.
The ethereal chant suddenly penetrated into every human mind.
The queen in the distance once again made new moves.
Your own home star is not important to the current situation of the Milky Way.
The swarms of insects that were originally floating around her immediately swarmed into the protective shield and onto the queen's body. They seemed to have put on a layer of armor for the queen, and seemed to form a special mecha for the queen.
'.
This is the power of the Dreadnought!
But now, the four dreadnoughts must enter the cooling period, overhaul the main gun system, and quickly replenish energy.
This is the answer given by the Empire.
The swarm and the queen seemed to become one.
"Shut up!"
Yang Ming's mental state is recovering rapidly.
Yang Ming nodded, obviously not interested in talking, just looking down at the battlefield in the holographic image.
Lu said softly: "Yes, as long as the fleet is still there and continues to replenish energy and troops, there is hope to resist these insects."
"Who knows," Bly said slowly, "but I heard that it is useful in many cases. It is the secret weapon of the empire."
He didn't quite understand it, but he couldn't refuse the source of these instructions.
"The dreadnoughts retreated to Line 2, leaving only the core escort team."
Everything is moving forward according to Lieutenant General Thomas' prediction.
'Thomas, you have to remember that the art of a general is to make the death of a soldier more valuable.'
A barefoot girl danced gracefully, and the elderly archbishop raised his scepter high and kept shouting words that had no actual meaning.
Delicate textures like high-density integrated circuits appeared on the ground.
The queen slowly turned her head to look at the location where the ambush appeared. The surrounding insect swarms immediately formed a physical shield, but it was too late.
She turned to look at the Emperor Star, a beautiful planet covered in layers of metal rings. The stars in the distance had been swallowed up by the metal it released, and the endless energy became its private property.
Shoot, shoot, shoot.
How to fight this?
"General, we are deciphering the energy composition of the Queen's protective shield. This is somewhat beyond our technical level!"
"All ships, targeted bombardment, reserve energy!"
Those warriors who were fighting the insects at close range showed no signs of timidity or retreat.
…
Two beams of several hundred meters in diameter traverse the starry sky.
Catherine was slightly startled.
This is His Majesty’s decree!
All the towing ships gathered towards the rear of the fleet, and the fleet moved slowly across the board, seemingly about to ram directly into the Queen.
"Pay attention to the civilization that protects Levi."
Thomas was slightly in a trance, as if everything around him had disappeared, leaving only the powerful queen standing under the starry sky.
Ahead, the Queen's Battleship began to slow down.
The queen in the innermost part seems to be thinking about something or calculating something.
The most unbelievable scene for the imperial soldiers appeared in front of them a few seconds later.
