"Entering combat distance. Norad is about to make contact with an enemy ship." Lieutenant Colonel Scott did not care whether a super monster as big as a battleship should be commensurate with an enemy ship. He just glanced back and forth at the data sent back by the sensor with the rigor of a soldier.
.
The lights on the bridge were brightly lit, and the marshal's staff officers in blue and black thick woolen coats were running around. Every crew member in front of the console was staring at the information on the screen. At this time, no one could have the slightest sense of loss.
Distracted.
Outside the portholes shaped by nanomaterials is a rising energy shield force field, and the bloody stumps of the original insect swarm are scattered in the sky of continuous gunfire. The bridge is silent, only the tramping of military boots and the sound of tapping, a
The sound a person makes can immediately attract enough attention.
"The direction angle is 140 degrees and the speed is 170 knots. This guy is 3/4 mile long, and his head is covered with thick bone plates and armor." He reported to Marshal Duke:
"Tactical analysis shows that it has a very high probability of choosing to attack our ship by impacting the hammer-shaped bone shield on its head."
The original zerg was shaped like a slender Terrador narwhal, but it was much larger, and it also had multiple pairs of huge paddle-like fins and strong claws, and was similar to
To some kind of weird lizard.
This group of primitive zerg that swallowed up the space genes of the dominating swarm is very different from their past form on the land of Zerus, and has transformed into the top predator in space at an extremely alarming rate of evolution.
Survive, adapt, evolve.
In essence, the original zerg that stepped into space still retained the characteristics of the original zerg, such as the ancient zerg fangs that have been passed down to this day.
The original zerg were originally a group of wonderful little dinosaurs that ran around in the hot and humid tropical jungle between the Zerus volcanoes all day long. Now they have become some kind of space dinosaurs.
"It's very similar to the attack method that Jim's wild dog would choose. He is as brainless as the current bastard." Duke narrowed his triangular eyes, like a snake spitting out messages.
"Open fire, no matter what method you use, kill it. This is not worth your fuss. The real main force of the Zerg is still behind." He said: "The entire fleet is free to fire."
Duke's order was quickly passed to the squadron commander, the captains of each battleship, the gun commander and the fire control system. The Swordfish, King Power and Korhal Monarch in the same direction as the Norad III all turned around.
Each artillery crew pointed at the primitive zerg that was rushing towards the own flagship.
After a burst of astonishing broadside salvo, bright orange light penetrated the dark space, blasting bone-deep wounds on the body of the primitive zerg. But how ferocious a monster that can grow to such a size is, so
The pain is not enough to defeat it.
This ferocious monster has never seen the giant steel ship of the Tyranids. It may still be wondering how such a weak and fragile creature evolved to what it is now.
But it will figure it out soon. As long as it swallows those iron-gray steel giants, it can grow laser-shooting eyes like its opponent.
perhaps.
The main gun of the King Power opened fire, and then the bow of another battlecruiser also erupted with extremely bright fire. Even standing on the bridge of the Norad III, one could see this shocking scene.
scene.
The primitive zerg suffered a fatal blow from the Yamato cannon on its head, almost opening its skull, and another laser-compressed nuclear blast beam knocked off its head.
"It's dead." As Scott said, more primitive zerg followed behind him, and they hungrily devoured the flesh and blood of the giant beast regardless of the dense rows of fire from the cannons of the Imperial fleet.
It can be seen that these little monsters, which may not be much bigger than a glider, just swallowed the flesh and blood of a similar creature, and their bodies expanded in a circle. The primitive zerg showed no resistance at all to eating its own kind. This is what they have done since their birth.
What I have been doing since.
Several Valkyrie frigates opened fire immediately, each missile bay rotating to lock on the target, and rows of rockets roared out, causing a lot of damage to the dense primitive insect swarm, so that they were even closer to each other as they advanced.
Have to keep enough distance.
Thousands of Ice Dragon fighters and Viking fighters took off from the cabin of the Mammoth-class transport carrier. These powerful fighters are still as tiny as dust in front of real battlecruisers, but they are fully capable of serving as capital ships.
Provide adequate support.
As more and more primitive zerg were blasted to pieces by the firepower of the Imperial fleet, a vast area in the Bracken system was covered with large swaths of flesh and blood.
But the range advantage of the Imperial battlecruisers only ends here. The primitive zerg are not only fangs and claws, they quickly launched a counterattack. The primitive corruption flying insects can spit extremely corrosive acid, and some primitive zerg
The zerg spit out strong acid spores, concentrated bile, specialized bony bristles, and even ionic red flames, like the breath of a dragon.
With only pressurized nozzles and amazing muscles, the acid and spikes they spray can be accelerated to incredible speeds, which are powerful and fast enough to compete with human laser cannons.
Despite having suffered heavy casualties before then, the primitive zerg counterattack still caused trouble for the Imperial fleet.
The battlecruiser at the forefront of the fleet formation had to raise its shields to resist the long-range attacks of the primitive zerg, but the attached small and medium-sized ships were unable to withstand it. Many small ships performing reconnaissance missions were unfortunately hit and immediately turned into
There was a bright fire. Some pilots did not have time to eject from the cabin, and they became the first victims of the Battle of Bracken.
Duke immediately ordered the fleet to adjust its formation and expand the shield field, and this order was quickly implemented.
During the Guild Wars, capital ships only relied on strong armor to resist attacks, but now the well-developed shield field can put the Minotaur-class battleships in an advantageous position.
"Vulnerable." Duke stood on the bridge and looked out the porthole, but his eyes seemed to be farther away. He was a cold man and would never be shaken by the destruction of several ships.
Duke knew the significance of this battle. If even someone like him could not lead the fleet to repel the swarm, then he believed that there would never be another one in this vast empire.
This is indeed the case. The imperial fleet only used six salvos to severely damage the invaders who broke into the Bracken system, giving the arrogant insect swarm a blow in the head.
But from beginning to end, the primitive zerg never retreated. Although they had independent consciousness, they were not very smart and relied solely on their fighting instincts to launch attacks.
The primitive zerg are indeed not united enough. Even on the battlefield, they will challenge the leader of the tribe to a duel whenever they get the chance.
"A new wormhole appeared in 484,5, with a diameter large enough for forty Minotaur-class battlecruisers to pass through side by side." Scott said:
"This is the largest wormhole, and the one who comes here is not evil."
The primitive zerg swarm learned the ability to open wormholes from the master swarm, but unless they knew the clear coordinates, they could not jump directly to the hinterland of the empire. Therefore, the primitive zerg could only keep moving forward like a torrent. This is
This gave the Imperial Fleet a chance to block the attack.
"I want to see what that is." Duke said, "Upload the results of the radar scan to the home screen."
"Uploading." Scott said.
On the main screen of Norad III, an unparalleled monster is emerging from the wormhole. It is a primitive zerg with an unusually large body. In the green image reconstructed by three-dimensional holographic projection, it looks like a living creature.
A giant tree with a mushroom-like umbrella.
For some reason, Scott thought of a giant, green broccoli with legs, and gave himself a small nod to his sense of humor.
"Srivan, the mother of the swarm, we got the name of this original leader of the swarm from the dark priest Azma." Scott said to Duke:
"When Azma was walking through the jungle of Zerus, he noticed this extremely terrifying creature. At the beginning, Srivan, the mother of the swarm, was far from as big as it is now, and she did not have the ability to open wormholes.
.But at that time, Slifan was already quite intelligent and could strengthen the strength of his tribe by constantly hatching primitive burrowing insects."
"Until Slivan met Sass, the Lord of the Gamu Swarm under the Overlord, Slifan fought with Sass's swarm in the Eternal Scar of Zerus for four years. During this period, it even ate
We passed Cerebrate Sars once, until the Jormungandr swarm joined the fight and was driven back with overwhelming force."
"Sass the Brain Worm? It's actually still alive." Duke is also a general who has experienced many wars and knows the reputation of the Sass the Brain Worm.
This cunning and ferocious brainworm is very famous. It was the first brainworm to be killed and resurrected by Emperor Augustus.
"It is still alive and can be continuously resurrected by new masters." Scott said: "According to the record of the Ian crystal given to us by Master Azma, only the Cerebrate Sass has been eaten by the original Zerg.
But I was eaten four times."
"The dean speculated that this brainworm might have liked the feeling of being eaten, so he chose to be caught on purpose."
"." Duke didn't laugh at this strange Nerazim joke, he didn't care at all.
Cerebrates can be resurrected by the Overmind, making them virtually immortal.
"Any other useful information?" the marshal asked.
"Almost all powerful primal zerg patriarchs are capable of spawning their own swarms, but all of them combined are not as powerful as Slivan," Scott said:
"Srifan can spit out deadly acid. Because of its huge size, it looks like a moving mountain. When the acid falls, it turns into a deadly rainstorm. The most terrifying thing is the ovipositor in its body, which can produce dozens of drops every day.
With tens of millions of eggs, these eggs can instantly turn into terrifying primitive zerg."
"Want to overwhelm us with numbers?" Duke smiled: "There is only one way to deal with insects, burn them with fire, and if that doesn't work, flood them with water. Of course, this has to be considered two ways."
"Marshal, Slifan is using spiritual energy to transmit information to us."
"Everything changes, everything dies, nothing in the world is eternal. Everything is flowing, everything changes with the changes of nature, and the times are advancing in constant changes."
In the translation equipment of Norad III, this became a poem by the ancient Earth poet Ovid.
This is a slightly shrill male voice.
"What is it talking about?" Duke is not illiterate, he just doesn't like to write.
"Can you make it understand what I'm talking about?"
"Of course." Scott knew the temper of his old commander. No matter what, Duke never lost his words: "But scolding him will not help."
"Tell it, this is the Tyranid Empire." Duke said, "Either get out now, or we'll give it a kick in the butt."
"Be strong when strong, children, for the sake of Zerus!" Slifan responded with a loud spiritual scream, which made anyone who heard it unable to help but feel terrified.
Srifan's primitive insect swarm quickly passed through multiple gradually formed wormholes and launched an attack. Their number immediately exceeded five million. At the same time, there were tens of thousands of ferocious monsters every second.
Appears from Srivan's back.
The most numerous primitive zerg among them is similar to some kind of giant locust, with a large amount of acid accumulated in its bloated abdomen, and there are also a large number of primitive flying snakes.
These primitive flying snakes are mainly evolved from the primitive mutalisks that absorbed the genes of scorpions. Their role on the battlefield is similar to that of scorpions, and they can control the battlefield by spitting out poisonous clouds that confuse their vision.
The primitive flying snake can also use a soft nasal tube made of ruminant intestine to drag enemies towards it, just like a frog that uses its tongue to ingest insects.
A large number of primitive zerg flew over the edge of the Bracken system and attacked the Imperial fleet, using all available attack methods to attack.
The situation was immediately reversed. The newly emerged primitive zerg were not only more numerous, but also stronger and faster. They were even able to dodge the battle cruiser fire during high-speed shooting and advance in the brilliant tongues of flames.
A battlecruiser named Imperial Glory came under concentrated attack. Large numbers of primitive locusts penetrated the battleship's energy shield, and violent explosions shook the huge battleship.
The explosion in the middle of the ship was the most violent, almost tearing the battleship apart. Painful screams and flames filled the entire cabin, and a large number of debris scattered in the universe. The primitive zerg swarmed into the interior of the battleship and began to devour human beings.
Broken limbs. Even the primitive flying snake used its nose tube to search for the leftovers in the wreckage of the battleship.
This is the feast of the original zerg, the desperate end of the human warriors.
The sister ship of the Imperial Glory tried to rescue, but was immediately attacked fiercely. A Augustgrad Pride-class battlecruiser, the Red Empress, jumped around the Imperial Glory and used scorching electromagnetic force to
The field burned away the primitive zerg attached to the battleship.
The fate of the Imperial Glory only caused Duke to shift his gaze, and he then pointed at Slifan on the radar scan.
"Course 340 degrees, the entire fleet will maneuver and jump following the flagship Norad III." Duke already had a plan in mind:
"All warships warm up their main guns and prepare to fire according to my instructions."
It is obvious that even Duke can understand that in the primitive zerg swarm of the tribal system, the leader is the brain and heart. As long as the leader is killed, the primitive zerg will immediately fall apart.
