The scene of the gamma ray cannon sweeping across the insect swarm was as if Socrates had experienced it personally through the insect swarm's spiritual network.
Even he couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in his body.
"Why do they attack in this way? They are just like the third-level king insect!"
Among the Zerg, at the bottom are various war bugs, and above them, the king bug is the leader of these war bugs.
War bugs have very low intelligence and basically rely on instinct to act, but king bugs are different. Starting from the fifth level king bug, they have wisdom, and while possessing wisdom, they also have various abilities.
Of course, King Insects are also divided into levels. There are five levels in total. King Insects of different levels also have huge differences in their abilities. Level five King Insects like Socrates are actually the third level of King Insects.
The weakest among them.
Finally, the one who leads the entire group and commands all the king insects is the only king insect among the Zerg tribe.
As Socrates said, among king insects, once they evolve to the third level, they will have powerful attack methods. Although the methods of use are somewhat different, they are essentially similar to the federal gamma ray cannon.
You must know that among the King Insects, the strength gap at each level is huge, which is why Socrates was a little frightened after seeing the gamma ray cannon attack.
After all, this is already the method of the third-level king insect, and there are only a dozen or so third-level king insects in the entire Zerg clan. To Socrates, they are a superior existence that spans two evolutionary levels.
Through the Zerg's spiritual network, Socrates stared intently at the huge battleship in the distance.
This threat must be eliminated as a priority.
Thinking of this, Socrates immediately awakened five mixed insect swarms that were relatively close through the Zerg's spiritual network, and moved towards the A211 defense zone.
After doing all this, Socrates once again focused all his attention on the command of the two mixed insect swarms.
Lin Fan doesn't know this yet.
Wells Line of Defense, Area A211.
Inside the Gonggong Titan-class battleship.
On today's battlefield, counting from the Federation's third line of defense, the positions of all parties are the third line of defense, the second line of defense, the first line of defense, two super insect swarms, and the Federation's First Army.
"Commander, the swarm of insects has begun to no longer chase the First Legion, but is coming towards our position."
I saw two super insect swarms that were still chasing the first legion. They immediately gave up the pursuit and turned towards the second line of defense. To be more precise, their target at this moment was the Gonggong Titan.
Battleship.
"Well, this is coming for us. It seems that the intelligent bug behind it thinks that we are the biggest threat and must be eliminated first."
"Order Bilodis to take the first fleet of his Third Army as the escort of the Gonggong and go to the first line of defense with this ship. At the same time, he orders all the fourth-level civilization fleets on the second line of defense to do the following.
Ready to attack!"
"yes!"
Lin Fan was planning to use himself as bait.
Well, a qualified bait!
Essentially speaking, it doesn't matter if Lin Fan doesn't bring a convoy, because ordinary war insects cannot pose any threat to the Gonggong.
However, this battle is different from the past. There is an intelligent insect command behind the Zerg. When it finds that it cannot capture the Gonggong, it is likely to ignore the Gonggong and directly attack the second line of defense.
Therefore, the 10 million battleships of Bilodis's Third Legion's first fleet were a kind of tactical disguise. They used 10 million battleships to surround the Gonggong in a desperate protective posture, so that the Zerg would be unable to do so for a while.
Touch Gonggonghao's side!
Delay as much time as possible to give all the fourth-level civilization fleets on the second line of defense more time to attack without hindrance, as well as time for more warships to assemble later.
Among the third legion of the expeditionary force, only Bilodis's first fleet can complete this task. After all, the other nine fleets are all fourth-level civilization warships from affiliated civilizations and do not have space shields.
In the group, that is seeking death.
Soon, Bilodis's fleet had gathered around the Gonggong, surrounding it airtightly inside, forming a tight defensive formation, and then headed towards the first line of defense.
The federal warships were very fast. In less than a minute, they crossed 5 million kilometers and reached the first line of defense.
At this moment, the two super insect swarms are still 6 million kilometers away from the first line of defense. After all, they were led some distance away in order to catch up with the first army.
"Start placing one-way energy barrier modules around the Gonggong!"
"clear!"
Suddenly, countless drone-like things were continuously ejected from the Gonggong, and they were constantly adjusting their positions between the Gonggong and Byelodis' fleet array, seeming to form a new one again.
circle of protection.
"The launch of the one-way energy barrier device has been completed. A total of 2,785 units have been launched, and there are still 2,215 units left in the ship's reserve."
"All modules are expected to arrive at their predetermined positions in 37 seconds."
"37...36...3..2..1..0"
"Report to Commander, all one-way energy barrier modules are in place and can be activated at any time!"
"Okay, start now!"
"yes!"
The next moment, the nearly 3,000 unknown devices surrounding the Gonggong all trembled slightly and were activated at the same time, releasing a light blue energy shield in front of them. Of course, it was just
one way.
After these 2785 one-way shields are connected together, the Gonggong is completely protected. If viewed from the outside, it looks like the Gonggong has deployed an energy shield.
Of course, this device was not originally designed to be used in this way, but to assist in defense. In other words, it was used to protect other facilities or warships in times of crisis.
After all, the Gonggong itself has a space shield, so there is no need to defend it in this way. Moreover, this method is still in the category of energy shield. Compared with the space shield, its defensive power is completely different.
However, in order to confuse the intelligent insect in the Zerg tribe and give him some hope, Lin Fan opened his mind.
"Commander, all one-way energy barrier modules have been activated!"
"Okay, the remaining modules in the ship are also ready for launch and can be replenished at any time!"
"clear!"
After looking at Liang Xue who went to make arrangements, Lin Fan turned his head and looked at the tactical image in front of him again, and saw two swarms of insects approaching him at a speed of 8,000 kilometers per second.
At this time, the distance from where I am is almost 5 million kilometers away.
