After receiving the order, the ships in the evacuation area began to launch a salvo. In addition to the Eternal Loyalty, the main attack force also included the Underworld-class heavy cruiser Serpent King, the Executioner-class large cruiser Silver Redemption, and the battle barge Inscription. They fired huge cannonballs
And the hot laser shot into the depths of the void, and the intense beams of light hit those Tyranid biological ships one after another.
The bow main gun of the Eternal Loyalty launched an astonishing blow. In a burst of scorching brilliant beams, a huge swallowing ship directly broke apart, and fragments as big as a mountain flew out from the biological ship.
The soft internal organs burst as the body decompressed, and the kilometers-long internal organs spilled into space. They were then caught by the gravitational field and swooped toward the surface of the planet through the atmosphere. Its broken shell emitted a red blazing light, and the pink flesh was in the air.
Roasted when impacting the planet.
But entanglement was not the original intention.
"Report! The last transport ship has completed the recovery of personnel and equipment!"
"Notify all ships and start all engines!"
The imperial fleet, which had adjusted its course, immediately began to accelerate and sail along the planet's orbit towards the other end of the planet at high speed.
"The other two fleets immediately broke away from the battle and headed to the edge of the galaxy for a subspace jump."
At this time, the Hive Fleet still entangled the planet is still in the "activation" stage. Although it intends to hunt down human ships, it cannot execute it immediately, so it pours its anger on the evacuation fleet "nearly before its eyes". It can feel
The individual that makes it fearful is among them.
"This is the Tyranid biological ship. It is truly a terrifying...miracle."
As a fragrant breeze suddenly drifted from the busy bridge, those highly nervous mortals suddenly felt their slightly groggy brains shaken, but no one dared to pay attention to the reason for this.
There were no outsiders on the Eternal Loyalty, so Soshyan didn't say anything when Veronica appeared on the bridge. She said she wanted to see what the Tyranid Hive Fleet looked like, and there was no reason to refuse.
Soshyan nodded and whispered:
"They arrived from outside the Milky Way. It is still unknown how big and how many they are. However, their traces appear from the Extreme Star Field to the Storm Star Field, which shows that they have a wide range of activities."
Veronica sighed softly.
"Is there really no pure land in the universe?"
"The Pure Land is created by oneself, but the emergence of Tyranids also represents another hope. At least in the face of huge threats, even the most stubborn... alien haters have to accept certain compromises."
At this time, the fleet had already circled the orbit of the planet. The hive mind did not react to this behavior. However, the relatively slow speed of the Tyranid biological ship in the galaxy became a fatal weakness at this time. Even if they tried their best, they could not
Catch up with the Imperial ship with full power and orbital acceleration.
Some crew members couldn't understand why they didn't evacuate immediately, but Veronica had already guessed Soshyan's intention, and a smile appeared on her face.
"You're looking for an opportunity to unleash your weapons of destruction."
"Yes, if I anger it, it will definitely come to me. The Hive Mind cannot resist the temptation to destroy me. But we are much faster than them. They will follow us around the planet and take a longer path than they currently have.
Path, they couldn't catch anything, so we slipped away."
"A gravity slingshot."
Soshiyang nodded slightly, then glanced at the time, and then said loudly:
"Launch atmospheric incineration torpedoes!"
The next second, six atmospheric incineration torpedoes were launched one after another towards the planet below.
This torpedo is one of the main weapons used by the Empire to execute the Extermination Order. Its function is to literally ignite all the oxygen on the target planet, turning it into a blazing little sun for a long time.
As the six torpedoes entered the atmosphere, a catastrophic explosion erupted. A terrifying plasma fire pillar erupted from an altitude of tens of thousands of meters. The huge power caused the entire world to feel violent vibrations, and the air was quickly ignited and billowing.
Flames surged around the planet.
Countless Tyranid creatures were screamed and annihilated in the flames and impact. The huge capillary tower was torn off and ignited. Even the diffuse poisonous mist became an accelerant, allowing the sky-burning fire to spread across the earth.
Looking down from orbit, the flowers of death are blooming rapidly on the surface of the planet.
The hive consciousness finally realized what was happening and let out a terrifying roar. Even ordinary people without psychic potential could feel the sharp roar in their ears. Veronica even frowned, and an invisible sound
The psychic barrier then rose to resist this roar that was comparable to the roar of the gods.
But at this time, the human fleet had completed "accumulation" and was "launched" from the orbit of the planet like an arrow from the string, passing through the blank interception of the Tyranid biota. Except for the two frigates that were unfortunately hit and sunk in the end.
, the other ships escaped smoothly and accelerated all the way towards the edge of the galaxy. At this time, the Hive Fleet changed from a giant python that strangled its prey to a stupid snake entangled in a piece of burning coal. The Hive Mind tried hard to take back everything.
The biomass that could be recovered was simply unable to chase the escaped Soshyan.
Soon, the three fleets converged, leaving behind the destroyed galaxy, starting the subspace engine and sailing into subspace.
During this period, Soshyan convened all chapter commanders and company commanders to hold a combat summary meeting, and praised Malakin's actions. Then he presented a series of information collected during ground operations and space operations.
A series of data, a comprehensive analysis of this Tyranid Hive Fleet, finally came to a consensus, that is, this fleet's learning ability and evolution speed are very strong, and a large number of biological weapons that are not in the empire's previous records have appeared.
Nulus, who attended the meeting, said that the Empire's Tyranid database has not been updated for hundreds of years, and the data from this battle needs to be handed over to the Alien Tribunal in a timely manner as new evaluation data. Soshyan has no objection to this.
After all, in the final analysis, the Tribunal is still the most convenient organization to mobilize the power of the empire. It is unrealistic to completely bypass them.
After the meeting, Soshyan took everyone to a battleship of the Mechanicus. This battleship belonged to Zhao Akada. Although it also participated in the battle, its main function was research, and there was a lot of research inside.
room and cage.
"...Based on the anatomical data of a hundred Tyranids of various sizes, we discovered a unique phenomenon."
In a huge circular laboratory, more than a dozen bodies of Tyranid samurai bugs and sword bugs with different weapon types were hung on tall metal stands. Their shells and skins were torn open by countless small silver iron hooks.
, fully exposing the internal structure, even the skull was cut in half, and the brain tissue was displayed in front of everyone. These were all preservatives, and you could see that they were covered with a shiny oil film.
