Thinking of the huge nest, the adjutant couldn't help but tremble all over.
It was indeed, as Severance Tann said, disgusting, but more...fearful.
Because when you see that terrifying lair and those terrifying mutated creatures, you won’t associate these things with anything related to “civilization.” All you can think of are terms like devouring, destroying, and doomsday.
.
And this is indeed what Alexia is doing.
On the holographic combat terrain map, you can see that the scope of Alexia's lair is rapidly expanding. Those terrifying tentacles continue to spread along the underground. Every time a factory or a residential area is conquered, all the creatures inside are swallowed up.
Even the energy was no exception, everything was devoured.
It's incredible that these tentacles don't even let go of robots. Judging from the mutated semi-mechanical monsters, it seems that because the number of living things on the Fangdo planet is too small, some mechanical parts are used as skeletons
, which can save some biological materials.
The number of monsters appearing near the lair has increased to nearly 150,000 in just half a day! Moreover, these monsters continue to expand outside and have captured dozens of surrounding factories.
"General Tann... we should..." The adjutant didn't know what to say at this time.
"Cooperate with her." Severance Tann said coldly: "Send our armored troops to open a gap for Alexia's biological weapons army."
"Actually, some frontline commanders have already complained. They feel that fighting side by side with such a monster is a bit..." The adjutant considered his words.
"Colonel Yi Hai, if you encounter such a commander, you should know how to deal with it. Do you still need me to teach you?" Severance Tann said in a cold tone, "Stop such thoughts immediately. They must not be allowed in the army.
spread among them.”
"Yes!" The adjutant quickly stood at attention and saluted.
…
On the surface of Fondo Planet, Alexia Ashford's lair cannot be stopped.
There are hundreds of thousands of mutated monsters, some flying in the air and some running on the ground. They attack every target around them without fear of death.
Severance Tann quickly made strategic adjustments. She began to deploy her troops near the lair, using armored units such as Scorpion tanks and M-90 Wolverine anti-aircraft vehicles to attack Alexia's mutant army.
Provide long-range fire support.
Although these mutated creatures are powerful, they do have a very fatal weakness - that is, the lack of long-range firepower. No matter how resistant these biological weapons are, they can't be killed by one explosive beam, and they can't be killed by ten rounds, so what about a hundred rounds?
What about a thousand rounds? How about a few more large-caliber high-explosive bombs?
Alexia does seem to be thinking of ways to solve these problems, including mutating and hatching some creatures that can spray venom from a distance, and hatching a large number of creatures that can fly. At the same time, the tentacles that are spreading underground are also starting to pass through.
Use underground passages to transport mutated creatures, and launch surprise attacks from behind the enemy's multi-planet defenders.
However, these methods are not as effective as an armored division sent by Severance Tann!
So now on the ground battlefield of Fangduo Planet, the defenders of the Galaxy Empire saw such a horrifying scene - the invisible God of Death in the sky, the Banshee fighter planes were bombing indiscriminately, and in the distance,
The plasma grenades launched by the siege tanks continued to fall. The Scorpion tank approached quickly, and the 90mm caliber electric thermal cannon fired a large number of armor-piercing shells at an extremely fast rate of fire, penetrating bunkers, destroying fire points, and crushing all resistance positions.
And behind these, there is a vast sea of mutated creatures! The number is simply impossible to count. As far as the eye can see, there are only countless ferocious and terrifying monsters.
Even though the defenders of Planet Fangduo stabilized their position with the help of a large number of K-X security robots and a large number of automatic turrets, blocking the attack of the Kingdom of Dawn armored forces, the tide of mutant creatures did not give them any chance at all!
When tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of mutated creatures rush forward, no matter what the defense line is, it will collapse instantly!
And such despair and fear are starting to spread from the center of the nest to the surrounding areas.
After continuously expanding and occupying more energy centers, the huge nest began to squirm violently. Then, the top of the nest cracked, and an extremely bloated mutant monster that looked like a meat ball flew out.
It’s dozens of meters in diameter!
After receiving the notification from Alexia Ashford, a Behemoth-class battlecruiser immediately flew over and cooperated with dozens of ghost fighters to protect the monster. Then the Behemoth-class battlecruiser stretched out its cargo loading and unloading equipment.
The robot arm grabbed the monster and flew towards the other side of the planet.
After flying to an energy power station thousands of kilometers away from its mother nest, the monster lay directly on the energy power station and began to absorb energy. Soon, the monster began to proliferate and began to grow larger, and then
, actually began to grow a hatching opening on its body, and mutated creatures began to hatch out of it.
Alexia's lair started to split apart!
As these small nests continue to increase, the mutant creatures she hatches will grow at a geometric level! It is really only a matter of time before it completely swallows up the entire Fangduo planet!
In such a scene, if Tang Xiao were at the scene, he would probably sigh: Sure enough, the end point of all biological weapons is the insect swarm!
But it is true that the structure of the T-Veronica virus and its final form are really similar to those of the Zerg.
Compared with other viruses that pay more attention to individual mutation and strengthening, T-Veronica virus is the most social because it contains the genes of the queen ant and also contains some plant genes. It is completely
The Veronica virus has established an extremely powerful population with the queen as its core.
Isn’t this the Zerg race?
It can only be said that mankind has worked hard to develop biological weapons, and the final destination is just the starting point for the Zerg race.
Alexia Ashford's Veronica tribe would have been completely destroyed within a few days if they had only appeared alone on the Fondo planet. Tang Xiao actually knew this from the original setting.
Although he had discovered the form of the Veronica virus, the reason why he still indulged Alexia's research was because - the Veronica virus, compared to the Zerg, whether it is the current Zerg or the Kilik swarm
That said, they are both weaker and more controllable.
Sometimes, being weak is also an advantage. Not only in terms of controllability, but also because of such weakness, it can be used by humans. Created and produced by Alexia Ashford through the research of T-Veronica virus
Various by-products, including body enhancement, various incredible transplant surgeries and amputated limb regeneration, as well as various targeted drugs with obvious effects, were all developed because of the weakness of the T-Veronica virus.
Compared to the Zerg, which is extremely powerful but has no use for the development of human civilization other than being released to bite people everywhere, the Veronica virus is undoubtedly more useful.
Just like the T virus that Shirley Birkin is currently promoting, it is now used less and less in the military and more and more in people's livelihood. This is also a very positive example. When technology develops to a certain level, raccoons
It is absolutely impossible for a disaster like this to happen in the city, and it cannot pose any threat.
And Shirley Birkin has now begun to study some newer and more powerful viruses. It is said that she is currently further improving the T-virus from the perspective of some deep-sea creatures, and has also applied to retrieve some extremely powerful viruses from the mothership database.
Confidential technology files. However, no results have been reported yet - only two projects have been secretly approved, 'Abyss' and 'Sleep God'.
However, Alexia's Veronica tribe is now weak, but its number is extremely large. With the full cooperation of Severance Tann, there are orbital bombardments of warships and ghost fighter Banshees in the sky.
Fixed-point strikes, armored assaults by Scorpion tanks, and long-range support by siege tanks, these forces allow the Veronica tribe to fully unleash its characteristics.
What is the biggest difficulty in fighting across galaxies?——The projection of troops.
Because if you want to completely occupy a planet through ground combat, instead of getting a glass ball that is completely burned by orbital bombing, you need to invest a very huge ground force. And such a huge army eats, drinks, litters, and consumes ammunition.
The supply of medicines is astronomical. An army of one million sets out, followed by tens of thousands of transport ships!
Generally speaking, the Galactic Republic's approach is to conduct limited orbital bombing, cooperate with elite ground troops to directly land near the planet's capital, and then directly capture the planet's administrative center and replace it with an obedient regime. This is also the most labor-saving method.
Or like the Confederation of Independent Systems, just throw away a huge robot army. The disadvantage is that it is rigid and costly, and it also requires a large number of spaceships to transport the robots. The advantage is that the requirements for supplies are very low. Considering that the Confederation of Independent Systems is generally
The side that loses in the fleet battle is the main factor because of its low supply requirements.
Alexia is now establishing her own mother nest on the Fondo planet, which is to directly omit the step of projecting troops and use local materials to create a large and cheap army.
Once this point is solved, there will be no disadvantages in conquering the Fangduo planet.
…
Almost 10 days after Alexia's lair was established, the time has come to 12 BBY, 7 years in the Galactic Empire calendar, and 23 years in the Dawn Kingdom calendar (reminder, the Star Wars calendar has 35 days in a month and 10 months in a year)
, and the Kingdom of Dawn is also using this calendar, but the way of counting is different from that of the Galactic Empire).
At this time, Alexia Ashford's lairs had appeared in large numbers on the Fondo planet, and millions of mutated creatures, supported by Dawn Kingdom's aerial strikes, were sweeping every inch of the planet like a tide.
The war situation on Fangduo Planet has begun to collapse visibly to the naked eye.
In contrast, the Death Squadron led by Darth Vader is still fighting back and forth with the Given people's defenders in the underground caves of the planet Yago-Dur. This time, Severance Tann has changed hands.
strategy, has seen the dawn of success.
Although the Fangduo planet has now been completely blocked by the Kingdom of Dawn fleet, some news still reaches the center of the empire. And among the news received by the top brass of the empire, almost none of it is good news.
From this piecemeal information, the imperial military only came up with a few key points: the Kingdom of Dawn used biological weapons on a large scale, and the organized resistance on Fangduo Planet has been dismantled, and is now basically divided into industrial zones.
Each fights on its own. Moreover, the industrial production capacity on Fangduo Planet is still very huge, and a steady stream of robots are being produced, but there is a shortage of raw materials.
However, even from this information, it can be easily concluded that it is difficult to persist on Fangduo Planet.
This important industrial world must not be lost. This is Emperor Palpatine's very firm order in the Imperial Council. Everyone can imagine that once the Fangdo planet is lost, there will inevitably be consequences in the military and political circles of the Galactic Empire.
Cause a bloody storm!
However, at this time, both Palpatine and the imperial military still agreed with Darth Vader's strategy of continuing to besiege the planet Yago-Dur. The reason was actually related to Severance Tann's
The judgment is the same - once we withdraw from the Yago-Dur planet and engage in a fleet battle, the result will be nothing.
Severance Tann didn't want to return to a confrontation, and neither did the Galactic Empire.
Therefore, on the one hand, the Galactic Empire military continued to prepare to reinforce the Fondo planet, and on the other hand, it also urged Darth Vader to achieve his goal as soon as possible and capture the Yago-Dul planet.
After discussion, the task of reinforcing the Fondo planet fell to the current Governor of the Fourth Army of the Galactic Empire, Wilhuff Tarkin. In fact, the closest to the 20th Army to which the Fondo Planet belongs should be the 2nd Army. However, the 20th Army to which the Fondo Planet belongs should be the closest.
At the end of the Clone Wars, the Second Army suffered a tragic defeat under the leadership of Jedi Master Mace Windu. It suffered heavy losses and lost trust as a result, and its political status plummeted. Therefore, this important task was deferred to the Fourth Army.
Wilhuff Tarkin currently doesn't have many battleships in his hands. A large number of battleships have been transferred to Darth Vader. He doesn't want to touch this hot potato at all, but Palpatine's order has been issued.
He had to find a way.
So, he found the black hole.
The Black Hole is Palpatine's dark advisor, the behind-the-scenes controller of the Imperial Intelligence Agency, and the true leader of the Imperial Tribunal. Although Wilhuff Tarkin has never been interested in things like the Force,
Now he can only turn to the black hole, hoping to get help.
"Reinforce the planet Fondo? Hahahaha... Governor Tarkin, you really shouldn't accept this mission." In front of Wilhuff Tarkin was a human-shaped shadow, and nothing could be seen inside.
"The strategic position of Fangduo Planet is extremely important. When His Majesty the Emperor entrusts me with this task, he is also entrusting me with a heavy responsibility. I should not shirk it." Wilhuff Tarkin said this, but his anxious expression was
It's been written on his face, and he doesn't seem to be trying to hide it.
"Hehehehe... However, what is happening on the Fondo planet now does concern me. Yes, I will help you, Governor Tarkin..." the black hole said, "Remember, you owe me a favor.
