In Peterson's sight, when the planet was the size of a washbasin, the space worm tunnel in the outer atmosphere of the planet was included in the attack range of the mixed fleet.
Without any hesitation, when the main gun aiming prompt came on, veins popped out of Peterson's throat:
"Fire!"
More than 300 miscellaneous firepower ships composed of noble private troops began the first salvo.
The battleship's main gun sprayed out hot ion beams;
Various types of projectile weapons have been launched in advance.
Peterson stood on the command platform of the battleship, thinking about what else he could do.
Under the dispatch of the Imperial Guard system, the fleet began to carry out synchronous reverse propulsion, rapidly reducing the relative speed between itself and the planet, ensuring that it would enter the battle in the shortest possible time.
In a few minutes, another group of reinforcements will arrive from other directions.
The Empire's entire territory defense system has mobilized over a thousand main battleships to return to Blue Star for emergency support.
The system has not given up on the people here indifferently.
On the big screen, Peterson could clearly see the purgatory-like scene.
The ground has been submerged by a black wave, and of the 30 million people on the surface, there are only a few floating vehicles and small spaceships escaping outward.
Above the surface, dozens of patrol security gunboats are currently avoiding the swarm of insects.
——They tried to lure the bugs away, but they were ignored by the bugs.
A large number of bugs have begun to dig underground in the city. The ground paved with composite materials cannot stop the sharp blades and highly corrosive slime of these bugs.
In the insect tunnel, a false queen appeared.
As cunning as it is, it has not really left the insect tunnel. Its body is still in another airspace, using the insect tunnel to command the insects on the periphery.
Peterson felt a little doubtful in his heart.
What's the motive behind the bugs' attack on Guilan Star? Is it just a massacre?
If the purpose is to massacre humans and increase the psychological pressure on the human army, then why not sneak attack a large number of planets slightly outside, behind the insects?
Even if the bugs can achieve some results by launching a raid here, they will inevitably be surrounded by the imperial reserve fleet and pay a heavy price.
Although Peterson is a bit young and energetic, it does not mean that he cannot think.
He stared at the figure of the pseudofemale on the screen, and a somewhat bold idea suddenly came to his mind.
The other party is fishing?
…
Dongfeng.
Yang Ming raised his head and squeezed a ball of liquid into his mouth. He had just changed into his combat uniform, and leaned lazily on the locker near the tail cabin of the Dongfeng, exhaling softly.
Still a little tired.
He was awakened by reason.
The news from Li showed that an insect plague broke out on an administrative planet called Guilan on their way. They could just help the humans there solve the disaster. At the same time, they put pressure on the Queen and told the insect that these two ancient god life forms
We have arrived near the frontal battlefield.
If you wake up half an hour early, the overall impact will not be too great. Later on, as long as you control the frequency of releasing mental shocks, your continued combat effectiveness will not be affected.
The sound of the shower nearby gradually stopped.
Within two minutes, Wusha walked out barefoot in a baggy combat uniform. She pressed the button on her waist, and the combat uniform instantly sucked out the air and wrapped around her slender body.
Her mental state is not bad.
"Baby, I'm a little weak," Posuo said.
Yang Ming rolled his eyes, glanced at the wrist guard on his right wrist, and whispered: "There will be a temporary battle later to repel the insect swarm and protect the people on the planet. Remember, don't get too deep."
Chase."
"It'll be fine if I come with you," Whisper said softly.
Yang Ming laughed: "You are completely unreasonable when you go crazy."
Li's voice suddenly sounded: "Major General Hanton, Ms. Whispering, we still have twelve minutes to arrive near Guilan Star, but we have discovered some anomalies."
"What's abnormal?"
"To put it simply, this seems to be a trap for the two of you," Li Kuai said. "The pseudo-queen who controls this insect swarm is hiding in the insect tunnel and has not appeared. The insects are looking for underground shelters like crazy. According to
According to my calculations, based on their current advancement speed, the time it takes to find the underground shelter is basically the same as the time it takes for you two to return to the Blue Star battlefield."
Yang Ming frowned tightly: "Do you suspect it's a bait set by the Queen?"
"Yes," Li's voice was still brisk and clear, "Under the multiple effects of planetary gravity and star gravity, the space worm tunnels that appear stably in the planet's atmosphere can still be maintained, and the worm tunnels themselves are enough to withstand our fire attacks.
, this has exceeded the ability of ordinary sixth-level queens. From this perspective, this insect tunnel can only be opened by target No. 1."
Yang Ming and Po Suo looked at each other.
Li's voice became a little solemn:
"Looking at the overall situation, I shouldn't say this to you. You can ignore the people who returned to Blue Star and directly proceed with the war according to the first combat plan.
"However, from the perspective of the Empire's full-scale defense system and some of the connections between us, I need to explain the relevant matters to you clearly.
"Next, you two can choose to support Gui Lanxing, or not to support Gui Lanxing.
"Behind each option, I have a mature battle plan and backup plan for crisis response.
"The difference is that if you don't support Guilan Star, the situation for you two will be more secure. If you go to support Guilan Star, you have to bear some risks and must exercise restraint. You must not rush into the insect tunnel."
Posuo looked at Yang Ming: "I listen to you."
Yang Ming crossed his arms and leaned against the wardrobe to think carefully: "How long will it take for the fleet to arrive at the planet the fastest besides us?"
"A group of people have arrived, but they are unable to effectively suppress the Zerg," Li Dao said. "You chose the no-rescue option, and the estimated number of dead people is 120 million. You chose the rescue option, and the estimated number of dead people is 6,000.
About nine million."
Yang Ming took a breath and said, "Go to the rescue. There is no way not to rescue me. I will leave later. Posuo will be responsible for plundering the formation. If I encounter an ambush from the Great Queen, Posuo will support me from the outside."
"Okay," Li nodded lightly, "Is this option confirmed?"
"Yes," Yang Ming smiled, "Whether she can be saved or not will make her conscience uneasy. She is just a fake queen, so it's not a big deal."
"The combat plan has been corrected. Please go to the tail cabin of Dongfeng to gather immediately. Dongfeng is about to enter sublight speed flight."
"clear."
Yang Ming jumped up immediately.
He was a little tired before, but now he is full of energy and full of energy.
…
Return to Blue Star, the road ahead for the Dongfeng.
Peterson's battleship has started full-gun firing mode.
The bugs that jumped into space to intercept this fleet threw light bombs from their abdomens from a distance and sniped at this motley army.
Both sides continued to reduce their numbers as they rapidly approached.
Some old battleships that have not been maintained enough are full of flaws under the long-range attacks of insects.
Moreover, they do not have enough shield ships. After all, each great noble has a limited number of private warships, and the quotas are mostly limited to firepower ships.
Judging from the current situation, their mixed fleet is facing a frontal attack on the fifth-order adults. It is somewhat overestimating its capabilities, and the fleet's advancement speed is getting slower and slower.
In the command channel, these aristocratic private army commanders who have no command authority are constantly complaining:
"Our fleet cannot destroy this worm passage at all!"
"We are killing ourselves! This will kill us!"
"There seems to be a strange coating on the periphery of this insect tunnel, and our attacks are distorted! This does not alleviate the situation at all!"
Peterson frowned and looked at these, the middle-aged man who just taught him seriously.
He already wants to exit this live channel.
Peterson said coldly: "The ion cannon will suffer a certain loss at long distances, and the thin atmosphere will greatly reduce our attack. There is only one way now, rush up, and shorten the distance to the insect tunnel as much as possible! We are guaranteed to launch weapons
The delivery accuracy will definitely break the insect tunnel!"
"Are you crazy Peterson!"
"This is not your planet, there is no need to fight so hard!"
"Damn it, I've already lost five ships! There's no way I can deal with my lord!"
"Now is not the time to discuss our identities!" Peterson couldn't help but yell, "Although we don't have military status, we still wear military uniforms! We are gathered together to protect the homeland of all of us! Now we have to consider the gains and losses of our respective lords, then
There’s a bullshit meaning!”
"Peterson! Watch your words!"
"Your Saka planet relied on the white ghost's shadow to obtain sophisticated ships, but we did not!"
"Those bastards embezzled most of the private military funds!"
"Damn it! This young man is right! We should be like soldiers of the empire now! Didn't any of you come out of the army? You must not retreat!"
Peterson decisively exited the live chat.
He took a deep breath and was just about to go and stay behind the console when a dialog box suddenly popped up on the screen of the console.
[Empire-wide defense system:
One hundred and twenty ships are now needed to launch a frontal charge against the Zerg swarm in order to draw down the swarm's forces.
The imperial hero White Ghost and his partner are about to return to Blue Star with support.
Please choose for yourself whether you want to fight with the heroes of the empire with a total of sixty warships as the main combat force.
Note: This action will involve great risks, and there is no guarantee that you will escape unscathed.】
The boss is here!
Peterson was delighted at first, and then stunned.
He immediately held onto the projection screen in front of him and said steadily: "Empire's entire territory defense system! Call the defense system!"
"Speaking."
"This is a trap! This is most likely a trap for the white ghost!"
Li's voice was silent for a few seconds, and then sounded again: "He knows."
Peterson was stunned for a moment.
"He chose to save the people here, saving tens of millions of human lives. Do you have any more questions? Captain Peterson."
"No, no more."
Peterson's Adam's apple trembled, looking at the constantly beating buttons in front of him, he raised his hand and grabbed the walkie-talkie on the side, and quickly switched to the ship-wide channel dedicated to the Sakaar escort fleet.
"Bros."
Peterson took a deep breath:
"I'm Peterson.
"There are sixty of our ships here. This is the hard work of our Saka planet, so now we are soliciting opinions from all ships and must respond within half a minute.
"Now we need a group of death squads! We are the only ones who can stand up here!
"If we attack forward at full speed, more than half of the brothers may not be able to return to Saka. If there are elderly people and children at home, please take the escape hatch and eject backwards later.
"If I hear no objection within half a minute, I will issue an order to launch a fleet charge into the worm tunnel.
"Now open the feedback channel for each ship's NCOs, countdown, thirty standard seconds!"
All channels on the ship are surprisingly quiet.
Suddenly, a young voice cursed:
"Ink stains! Fighters are fleeting!"
"attack!"
"agree."
"agree."
"agree."
"Hurry up and give the order, Deputy Commander-in-Chief!"
"No wonder you can only act as deputy and have no courage at all."
"Bring out the flag of our lord boss!"
"who are we?"
"ghost!"
"We're little fucking ghosts! Haha! Little white ghosts!"
Peterson smiled sarcastically, his eyes bursting with sharp light: "Saka Star Guard Fleet! The whole fleet obeys the order!"
Dozens of young captains shouted at the top of their lungs: "Yes!"
"Our unit! We are about to conduct an operation to cover my lord! The lord will attack the insect tunnel in the opposite direction! Our mission is to attract more insect swarms!
"I command!
"The Saka star escort fleet broke away from the current battle sequence, released the reverse braking, and the entire fleet set the insect tunnel port as the target point and advanced at full speed for twenty seconds. Then all energy was supplied to the combat system!
"Restrictions on all weapon systems have been lifted!
"Saka Star Guard Fleet! Advance four!
"Please fight until the human side is completely victorious!"
"No. 2 ship received!"
"No. 4 ship received!"
"Received", "received", "received", "received"... the continuous feedback sounded almost simultaneously.
Sixty battleships were the first to break away from their original marching sequence. The engines that had originally been reversely braked began to accelerate. In just a few seconds, they separated from the battleship group.
Immediately afterwards, more than forty warships in the rear battleship group adopted the same propulsion method.
The battleship group seemed to be split in half, and the ships at the rear were forced to directly seize all control. All energy was supplied to the main and secondary guns, trying to open a passage for the hundreds of battleships in front.
Peterson clicked the agree button on the panel in front of him.
He seemed to have lost all his strength and fell backward into the chair.
His orders may cause most of his brothers to die...but this is the pressure a commander must bear!
Peterson took a deep breath, his expression quickly regained his composure, and walked behind the front porthole with his hands behind his back, staring at the swarm of insects and light bombs ahead.
Outside the porthole, because of the rapid acceleration, the protective cover sparked colorful lights.
The explosion of light and shadow that appeared in the side window did not attract his attention at all.
"The entire ship releases combat mechas, airships, and drones to supplement firepower!"
"yes!"
In the entire Saka star frigate, not a single lifeboat broke away backwards.
…
On the other side of the battlefield.
The Dongfeng, relying on its own sub-light speed flight, has already left those hundreds of ships behind.
On the back of the Dongfeng, Yang Ming's Ligui mecha was carrying a huge flight backpack, and a boxy package hung on its chest.
Li Guihao kept his posture of bowing forward, waiting for the countdown in front of him to end.
He didn't know what kind of battle was happening ahead.
He has already formulated a complete combat plan with Po Sa. At the moment, Po Sa is standing under the particle transmission machine. Later, he will use particle transmission to directly enter the planet's surface to delay the erosion of the underground shelter by insects.
Nine, seven, five, three...the countdown returns to zero.
The Ligui began to run wildly, and the electromagnetic acceleration field around it surged slightly - because the initial speed at this moment was already huge enough, and any increase in speed would easily affect the structure of the Ligui.
Yang Ming did not disable the shielding device. He was like a red cannonball, hitting the insect path at high speed.
Almost at the same time, the particle transmission machine started working, a beam of bright light shot through the chaotic space, and a whirling figure appeared above the surface of the earth.
She suddenly raised her head and glared at the sky, her whole body burning with bright red flames. She glared viciously at the pseudomother worms in the hole in the sky, lowered her head and swooped down towards the swarm of insects on the surface.
Whistling held her hands empty, and the gloves of the combat uniform were blown to pieces. Groups of pink cells squirmed wildly, and two sharp knives appeared in her palms.
The surface insect swarm suddenly fell into panic.
The false queen in the hole seems to be about to descend.
