I Am the Swarm

Rickens are equipped with two to four energy weapons, and are also equipped with four space torpedoes. Although due to the size of the fighter jets, the equipped energy weapons have a small caliber and need to be shot intensively to pose a certain threat to the space octopuses, but the huge number of them makes their long-range firepower not to be underestimated.

But they made a wrong decision, and the Rickon fighters rushed towards the space octopus of the swarm.

If they keep a distance and use long-range firepower to continuously consume, disrupt the evasion route of the space octopus, and cooperate with the large-caliber firepower output of the main and secondary guns of the battleship, it will be difficult for the space octopus to win.

However, they took the initiative to approach, just in line with the wishes of the swarm.

Although these mechanical fighters are also very flexible, there are jets at the tail and bottom of the fuselage to propel and change the direction of movement. But compared to being in space, like a space octopus swimming in the sea, this is really not enough.

The middle door may not be good enough for snipers, but for dogfights in the air, these mechanical units are really not good.

The arms and legs of the space octopus are densely covered with various output devices, which allow them to change the direction of flight or stop suddenly anytime and anywhere.

Although the Riken warships used non-stop shooting to kill some space octopuses during the charge, but once the two sides came into contact, the battle situation changed in Lima.

The nimble space octopuses shuttled nimbly among the Riccan aircraft group, and their arms and legs could instantly absorb and hold the fighter plane when they passed by it.

Those drones are cannon fodder coming off the assembly line, although their shape and armor can withstand the tearing of space octopuses. But space octopuses can turn them into space junk by sacrificing an arm or two and blasting their engines.

However, this method hurts one thousand enemies and one hundred self-damages, which is slightly flawed. Therefore, the knights controlling the space octopus immediately found a more technical attack method.

They no longer attack the Riken fighter planes by themselves, but instead cling to the fighter planes, using their fuselages as cover to guide those space fishes to attack.

At the moment when the attack comes, they can use their mobility to separate themselves from the fuselage, and the unlucky fighters will be directly blown up by their own missiles.

This kind of operation directly made the Riken tribe use a mouse, and the torpedo missiles did not dare to launch.

But it doesn't matter, the space octopus has other tricky operations, they can cling to the fuselage, work together with the fighter, and guide the fighter to change the forward direction and hit its own units.

Moreover, these guys are still molluscs, and their arms and legs endow them with strong adsorption force, allowing them to move flexibly on the fighter plane. One second it was still on the top of the fuselage, and the next second it jumped under the belly of the fuselage, which made other fighters who wanted to attack with energy weapons fearful.

Later, it even evolved to the situation where the space octopus used its arms and legs to pull off the torpedo missiles mounted on the fighter plane, and then threw them out to attack the Riken fighter plane.

The wrong decision of the commander of the Riken tribe made the scene very embarrassing and chaotic for a while. The space octopus was like a duck to water, using the enemy's cover to keep playing with each other.

The Riken fighters were shy, and did not dare to use any weapons lightly. Even the main and secondary guns of the battleship stopped firing for fear of accidentally injuring friendly troops.

"Withdraw the fighter plane!" General Masai became a little annoyed. The opponent's unconventional attack style made him very embarrassed in front of his colleagues.

The pilots of the Ricken fighters had long wanted to end this extremely uncomfortable attack, and immediately turned the nose of the plane and returned as soon as they received the retreat order.

However, in the scorching battlefield, they were not able to unilaterally withdraw from the battlefield at will. The space octopus clinging to the Rickon fighters, like a hitchhiker, also flew towards the fleet with the fleet.

The Rickens found these guys who got on the bus without buying a ticket, and urgently changed the order.

They began to no longer care about their own units. Those space octopuses clinging to the drone were caught off guard by a sudden wave of attacks and suffered heavy losses.

Only those space octopuses clinging to piloted fighter planes survived.

The Zerg Swarm did not expect the Riken tribe to be so decisive. The strong man cut his wrists and would rather lose thousands of drones than destroy the enemy. But this is indeed the best way, otherwise, the fleet that is stuck in the face of the space octopus will be killed by the space octopus sooner or later if they cannot return.

However, they are still not ruthless enough. There are still hundreds of space octopuses that are capable of combat with the help of manned fighter planes. They can still play a very good containment role, hidden dangers cannot be eliminated, and this group of fighters still cannot return.

And at this moment, the second wave of troops from the swarm arrived on the battlefield.

The main and auxiliary guns of the Riken warships turned their muzzles and aimed at them.

The configuration of this wave of swarm troops has changed slightly. Of the more than 500 ancient-level space octopuses, only 400 are responsible for transporting troops, and the rest are equipped with at least two electromagnetic guns. They will be at the rear of the team. Provides long-range fire support.

At this distance, the electromagnetic gun already has quite a threatening power. It only takes a little more than a minute for the projectile to reach the Riken fleet.

Such a short period of time makes it almost impossible for a huge warship to avoid it.

Moreover, the energy fluctuations emitted by the space octopus when moving and exerting force are very similar to the energy fluctuations when the electromagnetic gun is fired. In such a complicated battlefield environment, the detection equipment of the Rickens did not detect the attack of the electromagnetic gun in the first place.

Therefore, more than a hundred shells in the first round directly beat the Liken tribe a little bit.

The dozen or so battleships at the forefront of the fleet absorbed all the firepower. Although their frontal armor was very thick, the attack power of the electromagnetic guns carried by the ancient space octopuses was also very impressive.

For these big guys with a body length of more than 500 meters, the length of the electromagnetic gun is generally more than 300 meters, and the diameter of the projectile is more than one meter. The damage caused by such a cannonball hitting the Riken battleship was quite astonishing.

The front half of the two battleships were directly shattered by the strong power impact, and the hulls of the remaining battleships also suffered varying degrees of damage.

A harsh siren sounded inside the battleship, and the damaged cabins were shut down urgently.

Individual strength becomes insignificant in this level of war, especially for races that cannot directly survive in space.

Many Rickens were blown into space from the damage of the battleship, some of them were wearing protective clothing, and their condition was slightly better. And those Rickens who were just wearing simple uniforms would die in a few minutes.

The friendly forces around the damaged battleship rushed to rescue, but at this moment, the second round of electromagnetic shells arrived.
