Chapter 410: Encircling Wei to Rescue Zhao and Attacking the Mothership
"It's really a one-way trip with no chance of return..Tyranids...are they the most powerful beings in this galaxy?"
Farsight led officers at all levels to learn about the Zerg's information. The more they knew, the more despair they felt in their hearts.
Lin Heng did not want to dampen their enthusiasm for war, but today was different from the past. Blind self-confidence would strangle their own umbilical cord when facing the Zerg, which would only lead to their continuous defeat.
"At this stage, they are almost at the pinnacle, and in the eyes of the Death Watch, these troops are just the vanguard of many armies."
"But by the time they arrive, I will probably be buried."
Yuanjian smiled helplessly. The girl Juxing wanted to comfort him, but after opening her mouth, she had nothing to say.
"Yeah." Lin Heng nodded and said, "Maybe after this battle, no one will know where you are buried. This is still good luck. If it's not good, the bugs will eat your poop and you won't be able to make it..."
"Can you say something nice? Is this how you humans mobilize before a battlefield?" Ju Xing couldn't help but retorted.
But Lin Heng didn't care whether she was happy or not. After all, if he shouted that he was doing it for the Emperor of God, they wouldn't understand.
"No need to talk about it. Anyway, be prepared to be the first to die... but it's very glorious. After all, we are going to beat their mothers directly."
After sailing for more than ten days, after seeing the planets that had not yet been completely destroyed, everyone knew that they were about to catch up with the Zerg.
The shadow of the hive obscured the warp, completely blocking all means of communication and completely failing psychic language.
The closer they got to the world of Far'Shia, the fresher the traces of the battlefield became, which made everyone constantly discuss tactics, but in the end Lin Heng and everyone chose the most dangerous one.
Right now, give up gathering with the remaining defenders and attack the hive mothership directly from the rear of the swarm. Either they die or they die.
"Okay, jump out!"
3 battleships, 8 large cruisers, and 13 small cruisers instantly burst into light among the swarm of insects in the rear.
The number of starships and frigates is not important, because they will eventually become one of the debris in the sea of stars.
So, the moment the wormhole opened, the hive mind in the Zerg mothership sounded the alarm. Unfortunately, even though the transmission of information was faster than the speed of light, the movement of the Zerg ship was not the same.
The opened wormhole tore apart a large number of harvester ships, and super-heavy railguns, plasma blasters, furnace missiles, and electromagnetic guns simultaneously emitted their own light.
Fighter jets began to spew out of the attack aircraft's launch bay, like spring flowers that release pollen when touched, but this time it was not the transmission of life...it was endless death.
"Spread out in threes as planned! One battle train, two large patrols, and three small patrols surround on three sides, and the rest are all mobile. There is only one target - the Zerg mothership!"
It was a ship that was twice as big as any battleship-sized insect ship Lin Heng had ever seen. It completely transcended the scope of living creatures and was more like a huge meteorite floating in space.
According to the calculation of the battleship AI, the mothership is more than 10.8 kilometers long, 5.6 kilometers wide, and 5.2 kilometers high. Although it is not as large as the Ramirez-class star fortress...but it is a living organism.
The AI could not detect the thickness of its dark chitinous carapace, but after seeing that the super-heavy electromagnetic cannon that shattered the escort insect ship with one shot could only leave a mark less than two meters deep on its carapace, it knew that the thickness was no different.
"Buzz!"
Just when the Tau were catching the Zerg off guard, some isolated motherships suddenly trembled, and a shock wave visible to the naked eye in space broke out.
An energy band similar to a super-large EMP swept through the Tau ships like a wave. In an instant, all ships, regardless of size, lost power and stopped working. The AI system was urgently restarted, but the larger the ship, the longer it took.
"time!"
"Battleships take 5 minutes! Cruisers take 3 minutes! Starships and frigates take 20 minute, and fighters take seconds!"
"The Zerg's reinforcements are coming... I hope there are still coalition ships on the Far' Shi'ar Gate World... Farsight, prepare to board them."
There was a discrepancy between the plans and Lin Heng's words weighed heavily on everyone's mind.
"Oub'Rotai 9.0, I appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the fleet. Do not stop bombing until the ammunition is exhausted..."
"9.0 AI received. If necessary, I will lead the fleet in a glorious charge."
In silence, the eight men jumped onto the Blind Shark stealth attack aircraft and led a group of Tau warriors wearing XV46 Vanguard Void combat uniforms, who were specially designed for boarding operations, to charge.
The fighter jet restarted, and after twenty seconds of flying disorderly in space due to inertia, a new spray began again. The other ships saw the deep red signal of the main ship, so the death squads on all the ships followed Farsighted's footsteps.
The mothership also began to deploy its defensive measures, with hundreds of Tyranid crones gushing out of the cavities around it every second.
They stretched their flesh membranes and soared around the mother ship, their lower abdomens bulged and their sacs squirmed and compressed, and the acid cannonballs immediately burst out.
The weapons of the Titanium also began to show their power. Gradually, the lights in the dark space became more numerous, and the second round began.
Blind Shark stealth attack aircraft kept flying in the darkness, avoiding the wreckage while also paying attention to the attacks of the Tyranid crone. Hundreds of Blind Sharks moved forward stealthily through the blockade.
Once the hull was snugly fitted over the exposed connective flesh membrane, the circular hatch's fusion cutter began to cycle.
After the internal airlock was established, but before it opened to allow access to the interior of the target ship, a sharp hissing sound and a golden light filled the interior of the cabin.
Those spots of light were like candles in the dark night, attracting moths to fly over, but unfortunately this time the moths were able to really put out the flames.
Rapid-fire cannons blocked the approaching insects, psychic power flowed in space, and the gradually restarted ships began to fight back, and the quickly arriving swarm guards and destroyers also responded.
...
In the distance, in what everyone thought was the dark night, Far''Shiye was actually just obscured by the swarm of insects.
And in the asteroid belt not far from the planet, the dormant Combined Fleet was concentrating on waiting for the moment to attack.
The Tau ships docked above the human star fortress, deep in the star fortress that had never been touched by the aliens. For the first time, the Tau stood on the deck as allies.
Alexi, Pervis, as well as the captains of each chapter, chapter masters, warship commanders of the Astra Militarum and the Navy, and leaders of the four major clans of the Tau were in the same room, discussing whether to abandon the third home world.
"Fuyi.Po, blog.An Within a few months, the Titanium tribe has lost two of its home worlds in succession, and the rest of its territorial worlds have also been completely destroyed. This is something that has never been seen in the history of the Titanium tribe.
We cannot abandon Far'Shia. Reinforcements from Tau and other worlds will arrive soon. As long as we hold on for 30 days... not 20 days, we will be able to hold on until hope arrives."
"Don't fucking believe in your Greater Good... Forget 20 days. If you're not careful, the planet's defenses could be breached in two days. If the star fortress hadn't withstood two assaults, you would have turned into digestive fluid long ago!"
Alien Inquisitor Clark angrily criticized the leader of the Tau. In fact, she should have led the Imperial troops away from here long ago, but the Zerg forces were too large.
The ships were unable to open the subspace shuttle port and drag the star fortress across the Zerg swarm in the normal way, which forced everyone to fight and retreat at the same time, moving further and further away from the territory of the Empire.
"Reporting to His Excellency the Inquisitor, the Beckett Telescope has detected commotion in the direction of the mothership, and a large number of Zerg ships in the surrounding area and in low-Earth orbit have left again."
The news from the observation room shocked everyone, and the holographic image that was sent afterwards made them examine it for a long time.
"Are there troops attacking from the rear?"
"The surrounding star regions no longer have the ability to organize fleets."
"They are heading straight for the mothership!"
"It saves a lot of time. Even the insect ships in low-Earth orbit have been mobilized. We have to help!"
"Fuck it! Blue Fish, this is all we have, send out as many troops as possible, stop the insect ships that are retreating to defend, and send out assault troops to overtake them and attack the mothership directly!"
Even if the combined fleet and Farsight's fleet were combined, they would only have less than half of the Zerg's ships. It would be a pipe dream to want to break through the defense.
Now justice has come from heaven and the opportunity cannot be missed. Whether the current dilemma can be solved depends on whether the silent cooperation this time is tacit.
Ships were gathering, the battlefield was shifting, the fighting was intensifying, and the number of casualties was increasing exponentially.
Lin Heng finally got into the body of the mothership. They broke through several meters of flesh and blood membrane and connective tissue and stepped into the fallopian tube of the ejection sac sheath.
This is the fastest passage, at least much faster than cutting dozens or even hundreds of meters of flesh and blood. In addition, there is no internal structure map of the mothership, so everyone can only choose to drill into the hole.
As a result, the boarding ships immediately occupied nearly a hundred oviducts that spewed insect eggs. Before those cysts squeezed out of the chrysanthemum-like cavity, the explosive cannons and tracking missiles blew open the wrinkled cavity, and a maze of flesh and blood leading to the cyst chamber was opened.
“Puka, puka!”
In this flesh and blood factory, all the transport equipment is made up of synaptic tentacles covered with tumors. When the enemy breaks in, the sheaths on the walls immediately crack, and the knife worms stained with tissue fluid begin to roar hungry.
"ZAAAAA!"
Yuanjian, wearing XV86 combat uniform and holding an alien sword, turned into a red light and killed instantly. Those newly born knife bugs were as easy to chop as melons and vegetables in his hands.
The sheath was squirming, and the ripened life was about to be born. The foresighted sword arrived first and pierced the sheath together with the insect inside, but "pop, pop, pop" sounded and more than a dozen cracks appeared around it in an instant.
"Don't waste time here. There are thousands of square meters and nearly ten thousand capsules. Even if we burn them all, it will only be a drop in the bucket.
Each team should destroy the mothership as much as possible and incinerate the biomass storage room. We don't have any information about the mothership, so make all arrangements on your own!"
Lin Heng was also wearing an XV86 combat uniform, with a sword and a knife, one white and one black. The spiritual energy around him was rolling like frost and condensed on the sheath. He was telling the mothership that he was here and there was no need for the other party to look for him anymore, because the flesh and blood it wanted to devour was in his body.
"Found it. 12 locations. Have your men burn them all to ashes!"
Lin Heng materialized the storage room he had explored, and then directly transmitted it to Yuanjian through the independent channel of the combat suit. After receiving the layer, the other party immediately sent it to the rest of his subordinates. The two looked at each other and nodded, then rushed straight into the interior.
The intricate cavity was not suitable for human walking. The flesh and blood passages crisscrossed like large capillaries. Lin Heng even had a sense of déjà vu as if he had returned to the bottom nest of the hive city.
"You can also choose one and don't have to follow me."
"One more person means one more strength."
"Oh, then you should get ready."
"For example?"
“KAAAAZAAAAA!”
...
"Fully left! Turn the void shield engine to maximum!"
The left engine spewed out blazing flames, propelling the Holy Grail-class cruiser to draw a beautiful arc in the air.
"Load and prepare the left macro cannon! Gather energy for the deck's light spear!"
Metal projectiles about 100 meters long were pushed into the gun barrels with a "dong dong dang dang" sound. Fourteen large cannons were all loaded, and two or three light spears burst into light.
"Hold on! Hold on!! Hold on!!!"
Behind the hundred viewing windows were hundreds of fiery gazes. They did not care about the light that illuminated them, they only stared at the swimming aliens.
Either you die or I live...
"Fire!!!"
The Zerg is indeed terrifying, but they have one weakness. Once the biomass ships reach the designated location, they need to use their own tail fins for propulsion, and their speed is completely behind that of the Empire's ships.
The Imperial ships, sacrificing firepower and armor for speed, overtook the Zerg fleet one after another. They charged forward without regard for their own lives in order to delay the enemy's return journey as much as possible to allow the large forces behind to catch up.
Fire! Explosion. Dismemberment! Death. As the Tyranid ships were torn apart, the Imperial ships were also broken and twisted.
A squadron of ships, four domesticated ships, and 15 imperial soldiers were exchanged for the stagnation of the insect ships. Their mission is the same, to sacrifice your lives for a higher will!
"Keep accelerating."
"Your Excellency the Inquisitor, let me remind you that once the acceleration exceeds..."
"Shut your stinky mouth, you're going to faint, people are going to die, what do you think we are doing now? I told you to speed up!"
Clark's questioning made the order technician shut up. Everyone understood, everyone was clear, and everyone was responsible.
"Battleships and cruisers form an A-formation to break through the outer defenses and attack the Zerg mothership. Whether Tau or Human, once you reach the artillery attack range, no instructions are required, immediately aim at the Zerg ship and open fire."
However, even if they disagreed, the crew members and technicians, whose eyes began to turn red and whose breathing became increasingly difficult, as if something was locking the opening of their alveoli, had no chance to express their dissatisfaction.
"We must surpass the Zerg blockade within two hours. After four hours, every single one of them must jump in and start hacking. Get my Inquisitor Terminator armor ready, and get the Machine Spirits of the Teleportation Array Order to behave themselves."
Perhaps... they still want to offer their loyalty to the Emperor in the end...
"It's time to fight to the death!"
