The Divine Guard fleet that broke into the insect swarm was currently strangling the war insects frantically.
In fact, these gods wouldn't want to use this style of play if they could help it.
But isn’t there anything we can do?
In order to stabilize the theocratic rule, all troop transport ships were not equipped with weapons.
At this moment, even if all the 300 million divine guards were deployed outside the ship, they would attack with individual weapons.
Even these individual weapons are all energy weapons.
But it is still just a personal weapon, with low power and short range.
If it were conducted as a fleet war, this kind of range would not be effective at all.
Therefore, they can only be allowed to rush into the insect swarm and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the endless sea of insects.
There are 10,000 Divine Guards on each battleship, which is equivalent to 10,000 low-power close-in defense guns.
In terms of quantity, it is indeed quite scary.
However, the rate of fire of the God Guard's individual weapons is not as fast as the close-range rapid-fire firepower of the battleships. Although it can have some effect, it is just that.
As a result, it directly turned into a war of attrition.
But a war of attrition against the Zerg?
I’m afraid no civilization can win, right?
Even if you can inflict 1 to 100, or even 1,000 or 10,000 battle losses...
That's of no use either.
Less than half an hour after the war started, the losses of the God Guards had reached as high as 30%.
This is still the case when ten gods take action from time to time, and there are also hundreds of divine envoys to assist in the battle.
Otherwise, I'm afraid there won't be many of these divine guards left.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the gods also discussed with each other, and then...
------
Federal Military Department Conference Room.
Looking at the progress of the war in the picture, everyone shook their heads.
These gods of Masar really lack the basic concepts of interstellar warfare.
Not to mention anything else, the configuration of the fleet array alone has big problems.
Next, it depends on how big the loss is before they can react, using the method Shang Jiang Xingchen said before, or...
Until the end, you couldn’t even imagine it?
Just then.
"Look, the gods are taking action!"
Although the Masar Empire is all trapped in the sea of insects.
Through observation, it is impossible to see the internal situation.
but...
On the radar of the reconnaissance ship, something was discovered.
Three of the ten largest light spots broke away from Masar's fleet array and pierced the entire insect sea, heading towards the insect swarm command hierarchy behind them.
It cannot be said that it was penetrated, because from the radar point of view, these three light spots are just a front line, and there are no traces of action.
It's as if this sea of insects doesn't exist.
One minute later.
The reconnaissance ship detected a huge energy reaction, and immediately...
Behind the sea of insects, in the area where the mother worm leaders and the swarm leader are, there is a light point with the strongest energy response...
Disappeared from radar.
"The female insect leader has been killed now?"
"Quickly, inform the scout ship for further confirmation!"
In the conference room, a military staff officer shouted loudly.
Not only him, everyone was a little surprised.
After all, he is a Zerg leader, and he is very large.
Back then, when the Federation killed the Zerg leader, it was not a one-hit kill, but the effect of multiple attacks.
As a result, we saw the three gods rushing forward, just making contact with the leader of the swarm, and then they were done?
"Report, the reconnaissance ship has confirmed that the reaction of the swarm leader has disappeared, and it can basically be determined that he is dead!"
hiss...
"Guys, actually this is not surprising."
"Although we lost a lot of effort in killing the leader of the insect swarm in the Triangular Galaxy, that was only because of the space weapons."
"At that time, the only space weapons we could use were space cutting and space penetration."
"No matter which one it is, there is no comprehensive form of damage. Therefore, even if the leader of the swarm cannot block the space attack, the damage we can cause is very limited, unless it directly hits the fatal vital point."
"The key is that since the mother worm leader evolves into the swarm leader, the shape and body structure of each head will be somewhat different. It can be said that no two worms are exactly the same starting from the swarm leader."
"This situation also makes it difficult for us to determine the critical location of each insect swarm leader."
Just when everyone was taking a deep breath, Jiang Xingchen spoke.
After hearing what he said, everyone nodded.
This is indeed the truth.
It's like shooting a dinosaur with a rifle.
Even if you were given a bullet that could penetrate everything, one bullet would only cause a negligible penetrating wound to the dinosaur.
It's not much different from a human being being pricked with a needle.
Of course, if you can hit the fatal spot with one blow, it can be done.
Basically, you can easily identify the lower three levels of the seventh level of Zerg.
Because, although the basic war bugs are divided into many types, the shape of each type is still the same.
The same is true not only for basic combat insects, mother insects and mother insect leaders.
But when the female insect leader evolves again, things get a little weird.
When each female insect leader evolves into the leader of the insect swarm, its shape and body structure will be very different, just like different races.
Anyway, so far, the Federation has not discovered two insect swarm leaders with the same appearance or body structure.
The same is true for the leader of the insect group and the prince.
Therefore, it is unrealistic to study one insect swarm leader to obtain the fatal weaknesses of all insect swarm leaders.
In addition, space cutting and space penetration are not injuries in any form.
These are the two key reasons why the Federation cannot quickly kill the leader of the swarm.
But those gods are different. What they use is not a space attack, but a pure energy attack, but it is different from the energy attack of ordinary technological civilization.
After all, the energy used is not the same kind at all.
And their attack methods are also very rich.
In addition, as long as the gods do not deliberately condense entities, they are in the form of pure energy.
In this form, it rushes directly into the insect leader's body without any obstruction, and then destroys it from the inside...
It doesn't seem impossible.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the gods instantly killed an insect swarm leader.
Of course, it may also be caused by the leader of this insect swarm being careless and not deploying defensive measures.
But no matter what, when it comes to killing high-level Zerg, these gods are more capable than the federal fleet.
After succeeding in one blow, the three God-Emperors did not stop.
Instead, they dispersed directly, and within the population command hierarchy behind the insect sea and insect mound group, began...
Massacre!
The swarm leaders were all dead, and the remaining female worm leaders were even more unable to resist.
After all, they were only the existence of the third level below the insect mound. They were not too powerful and were simply killed in droves.
In just a few minutes, thousands of female insect leaders had been slaughtered.
Next, the gods set their sights on the insect mound group.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Xingchen knew that Sisko's battle...
The curtain will come down soon.
What’s so great about the Star Zerg?
It’s an endless amount!
But in terms of quantity alone, the strength is very limited.
However, apart from their endless numbers, the most important thing about the Zerg is...
There is strict discipline.
This kind of discipline is not formed spontaneously, but is formed through the Zerg spiritual network and the absolute control of the superior Zerg.
Therefore, after the remaining worm mounds and the female worms in the worm mounds were all slaughtered.
So what's left of the swarm...
It's just quantity.
Even without the control of the mother insect, the actions of the basic combat insect will become very slow.
That was also the reason why every time Jiang Xingchen fought against the Zerg when he was still in the Death Nebula, he always tried to kill the mother Zerg first.
As long as the female insect dies...
The remaining war bugs are not enough to cause trouble at all.
------
More than ten hours later.
The Battle of Sisko ends.
In fact, this battle could be considered over when the last female insect died more than ten hours ago.
However, it still took the gods, divine envoys, and divine guards more than ten hours to clean up the ocean-like basic combat insects.
In fact, it cannot be said that the cleanup has been completely completed.
Because during this process, at least 30% of the war bugs moved in various directions because they lost the control of the mother bug.
And if you want to clear them all out, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort from the boss.
However, although they won the victory, the losses on the god's side were not small.
At last count, 37 divine envoys died, 17,000 troop carriers were completely destroyed, and the Divine Guards' losses reached as high as more than 200 million people.
This is just a swarm...
These gods know that more than ten star systems have fallen, and they have confirmed more than 50 insect swarms of this size.
As for the unconfirmed ones, who knows how many there are.
Originally, this crusade was intended to eliminate all these insects.
But the current result seems to be that less than 2% have been killed, and my side is disabled first.
Then how to fight next?
It’s not necessarily possible to rely solely on gods, right?
If you do this, the faith supply will not be able to keep up.
After all, the supply of faith today is only about half of what it was at its peak, but the number of gods has expanded five times!
So, after discussion, the ten gods decided not to continue moving forward, but to stop and ask Andrew for help.
Yes, they want reinforcements, lots of reinforcements!
------
In the main temple, Andrew was a little confused after receiving the news.
What the hell, you were instantly disabled in the first battle?
However, after listening to the detailed report from the gods on the front line, he also fell silent.
I thought it was just some bugs, but now it seems that it is really difficult to deal with.
Let more gods fight on the front lines?
This is definitely impossible. If we really do this, I'm afraid it won't be long before the faith in Andis's domain is supplied...
Completely drained!
What to do?
After thinking for a long time, Andrew still decided to massively expand the ranks of the Divine Guards.
At least, until the problem of faith supply is solved, the Divine Guards will be the main combat force in the Divine Domain.
At the same time, the number of divine envoys will also increase significantly.
After making the decision, Andrew told the frontline leader not to continue the attack, but to focus on holding the defense line.
At the same time, several gods should be sent out to harass the Zerg in other stars, slowing down their pace, and buying more time for themselves.
And Andrew will gather hundreds of billions of God Guards soldiers and tens of thousands of divine envoys from other star systems far away from the occupied areas within a month.
In addition to gathering existing forces, Andrew also plans to quickly select believers from various star systems to form new divine guards and divine envoys.
And this army expansion plan is to triple the current number of divine guards in the divine domain...
To plan.
Anyway, these divine guards and divine envoys do not use faith energy.
It doesn't matter how many there are.
As for whether it will be infiltrated by the rebels, and eventually a large number of the God Guards will rebel like Bellant did before?
That's not something Andrew needs to worry about right now.
After all, those are the bugs that eat up all the believers in each star system.
This is currently the greatest threat to the gods.
