"...The evacuation progress is being carried out according to schedule and is expected to take...49 hours."
Watching the transport ships rising from all over the planet that was almost enveloped by the spore cloud, Soshyan withdrew his gaze from the observation window. At this time, the orbit of the planet was already filled with the remains of dead Tyranid biological ships, some of which
It was even twitching, like a star ring made of flesh and blood.
The empire's ships formed two lines of defense. Some of the ships were in orbit to provide warning and ground support, and some were to intercept Tyranid's tentacles in the distance.
Under Soshyan's repeated strict orders, the fanatical Silent Fleet at least did not plunge into the Tyranids' cluster, but when the war became anxious, the situation still turned in favor of the Tyranids.
There is only one reason.
There are so many of them that Soshyan cannot even let the Royal Court's fleet leave now, otherwise biological ships of terrifying magnitude will soon flood the entire galaxy. Most of the Tyranids are still being restrained by the Royal Court.
I looked back at the tactical instrument. As always, it was densely covered with eye-catching red dots. It seemed that I couldn't kill them all no matter how hard I tried.
At this time, Soshyan even felt a sense of powerlessness. With such a powerful force, what could he do in the face of this endless tide of insects?
Even if he kills those Tyranid biological ships without any resistance at all, it may take many years.
Facing an enemy like Tyran, we still need collective strength, ethnic strength, more ships, more abundant resources, and stronger productivity to fundamentally form the power to fight with the opponent. Individual strength lies here.
Facing an opponent that relies entirely on numbers to win, it really cannot play a decisive role.
"Sir, a red invasion signal has been sent from the direction of Westeros 4."
Hearing the nervous voice from the loudspeaker, Soshyan walked slowly to the tactical instrument. As the camera zoomed in, an even more shocking situation emerged. At this time, it can be said that the entire galaxy was almost plunged into a scarlet ocean.
, but there is a relatively large "vacancy" in the fourth quadrant, which is marked in yellow. That is the location of Wang Ting's fleet, and planets 3, 4 and 5 are surrounded by red marks when viewed from the big map.
, but the area around No. 5 is the densest. The other two planets are still relatively empty, but "tentacles" have already begun to reach out to them. This is the advantage brought by the sheer number of Tyranids.
They can attack from any direction and angle in the galaxy, while the human fleet can only defend one area.
In this case, facing an invasion that is not that "huge", we can only choose to let the ground defense forces hold on first, and wait for No. 5 to complete the evacuation mission before turning to the next planet. However, the flashing mark on the tactical instrument
Look, there is obviously a swarm of insects that exceeds the "normal" size and is quickly heading towards the planet Westeros IV.
The place has actually been invaded, and the orbit was just "conveniently" cleared when reinforcements arrived, but there are still many Tyranids remaining on the ground. If this Tyranids invade, the defense situation on the planet's surface will only change.
More severe.
But how much power does Soshyan have now to spare for support?
After looking at the status of various ships on the screen, he got the answer.
No.
He cannot spare a single battleship to support that planet now. All battleships are under multiple times of offensive pressure, and withdrawing any one of them may have a devastating impact on the situation.
This was Tyron, damn Tyron, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't think of a reasonable enemy.
"Send some frigates, some personnel, ammunition and equipment, and let the defenders on the ground hold on."
Talos made a suggestion at this time, which was what Soshyan was considering, so he nodded.
"That's all it can do..."
"Sir! A signal from an unknown source has been detected, it's very strong!"
"Mark it."
Soon, a flickering ripple appeared on the edge of the star map, as if a stone had been dropped into the red ocean.
"Unable to confirm identification!"
The inability to confirm the logo meant that it was most likely not an imperial ship. Soshiyang suddenly thought of something and raised his head slightly.
"Is it finally here..."
"Transmitting target image——"
Ten minutes later, a picture covered with a thin layer of snowflakes appeared on the secondary screen of the tactical instrument. It could be roughly seen that it was a fleet, dragging ripples of energy to form an assault formation.
On another secondary screen, these fleets are presented in a 3D outline.
The three leading ships were the largest, followed by two smaller ones, and finally there were six smaller ones behind them.
Seeing the outlines of these ships, Soshyan finally confirmed the person coming, and Talos looked at him on the side.
"Short man?"
"Well, I've been waiting for them for a long time, and finally they're here."
Soshyan stretched out his hand and zoomed in on the three ships headed by him. This should be the Longbeard class that Master Walker mentioned. Their shape is very different from humans. There is a unique cross-shaped wing at the stern. Soshyan guessed that this
Perhaps it has something to do with their unique engine. This engine is called the "electromagnetic spoon" by the Walker patriarch. The specific principle is not understood by Soshyan, but it can give the Furnace spacecraft the ability to launch a gravity bow, which is the Tai
The way the Hornwhale insect ship moves, it can also perform "subspace dive", which is a short and controlled subspace jump, similar to water rafting, quickly entering and exiting the subspace, and avoiding the inconsistencies in the subspace.
Stable turbulence can always leave the subspace at the right time and place.
And this is why Sosh Yang spent a lot of money to hire Hearthborn warships. Now they are the only ones who can sail quickly without being disturbed by the shadow area of the Hive.
The main body of the Longbeard class is also very special, like a flat and slender octahedron, with an extra layer protruding in the middle, like an arrow with a sleeve in the middle, and a huge furnace with a beard is carved on the bow.
The descendant mask is the so-called ancestor of Wotan, but Soshyan has always been curious, what exactly is the so-called Wotan?
Although the Royal Court has established an embassy and office in the Wotan Federation in the center of the galaxy, the intelligence collection work is progressing very slowly. The Hearthborn loves to make money, but his tone is also very strict. For the "ancestors" and "Ironborn"
The topics are extremely sensitive, and he would become furious if he was thought to be spying on intelligence. This caused a diplomatic crisis and forced the replacement of several diplomats.
In order to maintain the relationship with the Wotan Federation, the Royal Court cannot go too far, so the intelligence has not made much progress, let alone touching such core secrets.
According to Lord Walker, the Longbeard class is mainly responsible for ground attack and personnel delivery tasks, so it is positioned closer to the battle barge and its long-range firepower is not very strong. However, as the distance approaches, they are seen facing four approaching Westeros.
When the Tyranid biological ship opened fire, Soshyan realized that Lord Walker might be a little modest.
