What does it feel like to be surrounded by 100 million bugs?
Disgusting, quite disgusting, extremely disgusting in all kinds of ways!
Sure enough, as I said before, surrounded by all kinds of worms, reptiles, armyworms, arthropods... yikes... every day, when you open any holographic projection, all you can see besides the worms is them.
Internal organs with blood and flesh flying everywhere. It’s hard for me to imagine how Pandora and Viska can happily go to outer space to charge into battle every day and still eat half a bowl of rice when they come back...
Under the influence of shallow time acceleration, all our defense forts have finally entered normal operation. The entire Black Egg Planet has been armed to the rear with tens of thousands of orbital defense cannons and more ground-based anti-aircraft cannons, and 100 million bugs.
We arrived as promised. Just seeing the endless sea of insects on the holographic projection gave us goosebumps, even though they were taken care of by low-Earth orbit laser cannons when they were still one day away from us.
There were heavy casualties in the laser beam, but for the total number of 100 million insect waves, the battle damage of several million was not even one-tenth. Those dead bugs were even simply pushed to the front to serve as reactive armor.
Cannon fodder, I bet that the cost of making such a bug is even cheaper than the plate Sandora eats every morning - why did I suddenly think of such a curious metaphor?
After paying a moderate loss, more than 100 million Zerg of all kinds finally flew to the synchronous orbit of the Black Egg Star. Then they encountered a truly powerful blockade here and could no longer move forward. The defense led by Sicaro
The legion formed a powerful psionic energy shield, covering the entire planet. The strong energy floating on it can not only firmly resist the impact of the insects, but also allow the latter to be burned to ashes during the impact.
After millions of melee reptiles were lost in the battle, the Zerg commanders clearly realized that this mysterious shield was more dangerous than any defensive device they had ever seen, so they decisively gave up using suicide attacks to destroy it.
The planetary shield's attempt pushed the reptiles (perhaps I should call them puppies?) back to the rear of the position, revealing a densely packed number of tens of millions of ugly flying dragons.
But after actually seeing these things called flying dragons, I couldn't help but burst into laughter on the spot: How dare these things have the word "dragon" on them?
It's basically a dried grasshopper with a toad's head and two bat wings stuck on its back, bastard! This thing is simply several times more disgusting than the aliens created by Blizzard's designers! Not only are their bodies covered with dark brown
The fleshy lumps and the carapace full of thorns make the face so ugly that it makes you want to mosaic your own eyes. What's even more disgusting - these guys actually spit at our beautiful sky blue shield!
Since when did the dragons in StarCraft become spitting trolls? Isn't this different from the setting? By the way, shouldn't these guys spit out a bunch of bugs... Well, it seems that that one is more disgusting...
Okay, it’s decided, this operation is tentatively named “For Clear and Beautiful Blue Skies”.
That's it for the rants, now we still have to face the situation of being surrounded by 100 million bugs. The flying dragon - although I really don't agree with this name - is the most effective flying unit of the Zerg race and is indeed worthy of its role in the StarCraft plot.
According to our measurements, the corrosive acid they spit out has a kinetic energy no less than that of conventional physical artillery and an acidity sufficient to corrode titanium alloy armor. Such an attack power is emitted by a carbon-based creature. It is really shocking.
I don't lament the Zerg's exaggerated DNA mutation ability, but facing the Xiling units with psionic energy shields, these Hylodrasks will definitely fail. The corrosive attacks they are most proud of have no effect on psionic energy, and
I want to rely on the kinetic energy of a bubble of saliva to penetrate the planet's shield... I am confident that I can make these saliva dragons spit out stomach bleeding!
On our side, when the laser cannons known for their range lost their biggest advantage, the psionic storm obelisks ushered in their spring. These huge towers that take five minutes to charge each time are worthy of their reputation.
The name "King of AOE" (bubble language), every time the obelisk arranged on the orbital platform under the shield is surrounded by blue-purple electric light, a psionic storm ball with a radius of dozens of kilometers will appear in the Zerg army
In the center, these rampaging and dangerous ball lightnings can turn thousands of Zerg into carbide without any pressure. Of course, I am referring to those regular Zerg units, some of which I have never seen before. They should be the high-level flying dragons.
The advanced version of flying units seems to have the ability to control special energy. Even if they are enveloped by a psionic storm, they can often escape from the lightning with all their strength. This kind of survivability makes me have to re-evaluate the strength of the Zerg. If not
If we set up a certain level of planetary defense system in advance, perhaps we will suffer a lot of losses if we directly face the impact of a 100 million insect wave...
And in the process of strangling these Zerg, I also saw how efficient and cruel the real war race is: because of the existence of the astral-level psionic shield, those melee-type basic Zerg units that I call "puppies" seem to
It was abandoned. When the Zerg commander discovered that it was impossible to break through this shield in a short period of time, these Zerg cannon fodder that were used as consumables were actually used as... food!
A large number of basic Zerg that had been confirmed to be useless were ruthlessly torn into pieces by their kin, and then sent to the rear of the battlefield, where there were a large number of worm tissues and cosmic materials (such as meteorites or broken spacecraft wreckage) fused together.
Weird things, perhaps their portable hatching tanks and various nests, the torn "puppies" and the remains of the Zerg killed in the battle were thrown into these crawling disgusting organs, and then they turned into the most disgusting organs.
Useful units: Flying dragon, and...well, I don't know what that is...
And I also found a very concerning phenomenon: many of the Zerg units responsible for the frontal attack were temporarily created at the back of the battlefield. These bugs, including some samples of "Regenerative Wyverns", were brought back by the assault ship.
After dissection, we found that they had no digestive organs or eating tools, and their lifespan was only a few days, just like the bug we initially found in the sniper cannon, which meant a huge drop in their production costs and production speed.
Great improvement, the newly discovered Zerg attack method gives us a bit of a headache - where the hell is this family planning plan, you bastard!
"If we don't eliminate those hatching ponds, I'm afraid this battle will drag on for a long time."
After discovering that the number of bugs was declining far slower than the speed at which we could destroy them, Sandora released a large number of invisible detectors and headed towards the battlefield that had been completely filled with bugs.
These hatching sites were discovered in various locations. It was obvious that these disgusting space insect nests allowed the Zerg to maintain extremely strong reproductive capabilities during the war. Although the disposable Zerg they created had a short lifespan, their combat effectiveness was no better than that of human hosts.
The station tank is poor.
"But to attack these hatching sites, we must break through the super defense line formed by at least 40 million bugs, and there are many high-level bugs with special abilities among them. Hyperspace strikes cannot lock targets at such close range. If we attack directly
, our troops are not enough, and until the number of bugs is reduced to a certain level, there is nothing we can do with these hatching ponds far behind the enemy's rear."
This is really a depressing situation. Don’t you think these Zerg can’t come back a few days later? At least it will allow us to develop with peace of mind for a while! Now we have just completed the establishment of the base. We need soldiers and ships. It’s so powerful.
All the warships are still lying on the ground busy with infrastructure construction, and suddenly they have to face this overwhelming enemy... Isn't this a scam!? Do you really want me to endure the pain and demolish the general city that has just started to get on the right track, and drive the empire?
Admiral goes to kill cockroaches?
Forget it, I don’t want to worry about those things that are there but are gone.
The current battlefield situation is very complex. Although the Zerg have a terrifying numerical advantage of 100 million, Xiling Technology has an absolute qualitative advantage, and the opponent lacks a sufficient number of top-level units. We are not at a disadvantage, but the enemy
This bizarre method of warfare is really disgusting - in fact, due to the endless suicide attacks of the Zerg, several Imperial warships that were close to the weak points of the planet's shield were buried under the sea of worms.
But generally speaking, we are still invincible with our powerful Xiling fleet.
Pandora and Viska are now leading their respective main armies to take on the important task of wiping out the Zerg's active forces. It is obvious that these two little lunatics are very happy with such a task. They rely on the foul combat power of the elite troops to run rampant surrounded by the flying dragons.
, tearing apart the dense formation of insects one after another with huge scars, but even Pandora can hardly extend its killing range to a thousand kilometers outside the planet's shield - the insect swarms there are too dense
.
"I didn't expect that there is such a thoroughgoing war species in the world," even Sandora sighed with a headache, "tearing low-value members of the same species into pieces and using them as nutrients to produce warriors more suitable for the battlefield, even
Collect all the flesh and blood scattered on the battlefield and use them as materials for the next batch of soldiers... Even we Xiling apostles have not reached this level of war."
I have reservations about Sandora's words - aren't the Xiling Apostles enough of a war species?
"Hey! Ah Jun, don't show that questioning expression! We do have such a thing as art!"
Seeing the completely unconcealable expression on my face, Shandora, who was calmly directing the oncoming troops to attack the enemy just a second ago, immediately pouted in grievance. In front of me, this iron-blooded queen was even more beautiful than Qian Qian.
She still looks like a little girl.
"The art of the Xiling people?" I was speechless and looked away. Are you referring to those emperors who are free to use laser micro-carvings of the entire imperial code on their bullets?
The battle with the Zerg unsurprisingly fell into a war of attrition. We tried to drop eop-03 outside the atmosphere to eliminate the opponent. The first drop achieved good results. Although the vacuum environment is not suitable for chain reactions, this kind of
The powerful nether energy bomb still successfully used the density of the Zerg itself to eliminate more than 10 million of the opponent's living forces, but the bugs clearly learned better the second time they were dropped. They chose the moment they sensed the terrifying power.
Escape far away, maybe they are not smart enough to discover the principle of eop-03, but they are so unlucky that they encounter the fatal flaw of the nether energy bomb: without contact with enough matter, eop-03 will not be able to
Producing a chain deflagration reaction, in this way, the damage caused by a simple explosion of a piece of psionic crystal to 100 million Zerg is meaningless.
In addition to the range-of-range destruction weapons other than this specification, various ground anti-aircraft firepower and battleship main guns are powerful, but in the face of the astonishing base of the bugs and their curious recruitment methods, the effects of point-kill and line-kill are really disappointing.
Not a compliment.
Is this a classic case of quantity over quality?
"If we continue fighting like this, it won't be a problem to destroy the enemy, but it will consume too much."
Sivis looked at today's battle report with a depressed face.
"Don't we have more effective swarm weapons?"
I frowned, the war technology of Xiling Apostle is so advanced, why is it so troublesome to deal with these low-level creatures?
"The most effective weapon is naturally eop-03, but its weakness has been discovered by bugs by chance, and the psionic storm obelisk is still not strong enough to face 100 million enemies. The adaptability and evolutionary capabilities of these bugs are amazing
The several immature biochemical weapons and conventional radiation weapons we tried only took effect a few times, and all the bugs evolved antibodies - we don't know how they share their DNA information with the same species, but if
There is no way to solve the sharp decline in the effectiveness of our weapons caused by the rapid evolution of the Zerg. To exterminate these huge numbers, I am afraid we will have to fight a protracted war."
Qian Qian was lying on the table in boredom, counting her hair, when she suddenly raised her head: "By the way, don't you have the kind of ultimate laser that can sweep across the entire sky? Ultraman's rays don't act as photosensitive waves, so they don't count!"
Faced with this girl's remarks, which were purely confusing, I decisively gave her a knife.
At this time, Viska, who had just come off the synchronous orbit, ran into the command room and jumped happily. As soon as he saw me, he rushed up to me happily and asked for credit: "Brother, brother! Ten million! Ten million! Today!
My troops destroyed a total of ten million Zerg!"
Although I don’t want to hurt my dear sister, but did you know? Nearly 7 million of the 10 million bugs you eliminated will become lively enemies again the next day!
We were troubled by the number of bugs and their tenacity, when the automatic door of the control room suddenly slid open gently, and Tavel walked in.
Strictly speaking, it was Tavel's mass *** that walked in. The edges of "her" were shaking with an unstable spectrum, and her body was almost translucent. It was obvious that what was here was not her true body.
"Tavel, are there any new research results?"
I nod to this dedicated female scientist. She uses quality assurance to conduct research in several fields at the same time in several research laboratories, and all her achievements are quite impressive. I am amazed. If one of those miserable commanders
If someone can work half as hard as she does, I would be grateful to my Lord Dingdang.
"I have good news to bring you, my Majesty," Tavel's voice sounded a little distorted by interference, "We have finally made a breakthrough in the analysis of Sylvia's soul. A person exists in the shared database.
The changes in the Imperial Emperor's files after simulating abyss radiation are more than 80% similar to Sylvia's soul. We believe that the former Imperial Emperor is Sylvia's true identity - theory
That’s how it goes.”
Could you please stop adding that uneasy "in theory" at the end of every conversation?
This is indeed good news that can relieve our depressed mood at this time. It successfully diverted my attention: "Sylvia's true identity is indeed the former emperor of the empire? Which one?"
Although I asked this question, I guess I wouldn’t recognize it even if Tavel told me. There are as many as 135 people in the Xiling Emperor’s Council, and they are far apart from each other. Except for the occasional exchange of information in the entire empire’s communication link
They have not even interacted with each other for a long time, and even Shandora didn't even remember her colleagues half...
Tavel took out an information screen and read the words on it word by word: "The horror sculptor Belavila was gradually promoted from an ordinary officer and succeeded the head of the Xiling after the death of the previous emperor. The mysterious Xiling
Apostle, whose branch race is called 'Raven', is also the most powerful raven in the empire. Her combat power was once praised by a certain Lord God in the Star Territory, and this is how she got the title of Terror Shaper - that was originally a high-ranking Raven in the Star Territory.
She is a title of the Dark God Clan. She uses unprecedentedly powerful arcane magic, flames, and shadow power to fight. She once destroyed the entire planet with a thunderstorm in ten minutes. Now Sylvia occasionally bursts out of an energy vacuum.
'Maybe it's Raven's soul talent that's causing trouble. She doesn't destroy the energy, but converts it into arcane power and draws it away - but because she has forgotten how to control those energies, these energies will eventually be released.
into the void.”
An apostle of the mysterious department? Is this really a coincidence? The leader of the mysterious department, Alaya, is already a fool, and now another apostle of the mysterious department is also a fool? Should I say, cherish your IQ and stay away from magic?
"Terror Shaper?" Sandora murmured to herself thoughtfully, "I seem to have heard this name before. He is a relatively low-key emperor, and his territory is far away from me, so I don't know much about it.
——Tavel, do you have any other achievements? Just discovering Sylvia’s true identity should not be enough to satisfy your research interests.”
What Sandora said was indeed true. Tavel immediately showed a happy expression, and then said to us with pride: "I hope your two majesties will like my gift. They are already standing in front of the portal of the Time and Space Management Center. This
A small force may be able to exert unexpected effects in the subsequent battle."
A few minutes later, the army Tavel mentioned was completed and gathered in the square in front of the Crystal Tower.
"In fact, we discovered the secret deep in Sylvia's soul a few days ago, and then I prepared this surprise," Tavel's mass *** station said as more than a hundred new units were transmitted
With a proud light on his face, he said, "The former Imperial Emperor Bellavera is a very special existence. She gradually advanced from an ordinary heroic combat soldier. This makes our research possible. Through inverse calculation
With Sylvia’s soul, we analyzed the key technology of the raven, and then copied these Xiling apostles who are masters in group strikes-mass-produced raven."
Tavel said, stepping aside and letting me personally review these... great magicians from the Xiling Empire.
Because they were copied from Sylvia's soul, these ravens were all female without exception, and had very similar looks and long silver-white hair to the cute king. One hundred of them stood neatly in slow motion.
In front of me, the faces of Xiling recruits who had just come off the production line were full of resolute and courageous looks. But it doesn't matter. After hanging around with those veterans, especially some commanders, sooner or later, these glorious recruits will
Becoming a virtuous person - Vega's scorpion soldiers are now starting to learn mahjong...
Ahem... I've definitely gone off topic.
What they were wearing was not the silver-white alloy light armor and metal combat boots commonly used by imperial soldiers, but long black trench coat-like waisted shirts and long boots of the same color. After observing them for a long time, I suddenly felt
The ravens in front of me look like female versions of Sephiroth from the back...
