I Am the Swarm

The battle lasted for hundreds of hours, and the Rickon fleet never got close to their firing range.

If the Rickens rushed headlong, they would definitely be able to reach the position, but at that time, the fleet was estimated to be almost exhausted, and after entering, it was almost a dream to withdraw again.

But they are not completely without results. Although they can't hit the swarm fleet, the swarm fleet will not take the initiative to approach them. Therefore, the swarm fleet has been confined to move in a small area.

Moreover, although more than 50 warships withdrew from the battle sequence, it was only temporary. Due to the timely withdrawal, none of the warships were completely destroyed.

After such a long bombardment, the swarm fleet was not without loss.

"Your Majesty, we don't have much metal reserves in the primordial body. If we continue to fight like this, the electromagnetic cannon will run out of ammunition in a short time." Taila was the head of the bodyguard during Queen Sarah's time, but after transforming into an intelligent body After that, the two parties are already equal.

Even if they were classified as Daofeng together later and became a superior-subordinate relationship, they still called each other by their first names. But under Rowan's interference before, Tara would still call Sarah Her Majesty the Empress, not only Tara, but also other intelligences.

Because Rowan wants to completely hide behind the scenes, the swarm needs a leader on the bright side, and Sarah, who was once the queen of a clan, is very suitable for this position.

Sarah was among the first batch to be transformed into intelligent bodies. Even those who were earlier than her were either her teachers or her subjects. Therefore, this transformation of identities was very natural and reasonable.

"Reduce the number of bombardments and give the Rickon some hope. Don't scare them away." Sarah replied calmly. Compared with being a queen, she still likes the feeling of commanding a fleet to fight, especially this kind of traveling in the star sea. The naval guns fired at each other, just thinking about it made her excited.

"Obey, Your Majesty!" Acting must be performed in full, and the etiquette must not be sloppy in the slightest.

The weakening of the swarm's artillery fire was immediately noticed by the Rickens.

This is very obvious, not to mention that there are advanced instruments constantly monitoring, even ordinary soldiers, who have been baptized by artillery fire for more than a hundred hours, can also perceive at this time that the current amount of shelling is far less than before.

"Their ammunition consumption is too much, and they are not as unscrupulous as before." A captain shouted excitedly.

"It is estimated that although the frequency of shelling has not changed, the number of shells is only 47% of what it was just now." A staff officer reported the data just obtained.

"Very good! Keep up the good work. If we can consume all the opponent's ammunition before the reinforcements arrive, even if we don't destroy any of their units, the first achievement will be ours!" Khamis encouraged loudly, and quietly touched the cold sweat on his head .

They had been avoiding the shelling just now, but they couldn't fight back. The morale of the army was extremely low, because no one knew whether the car they were riding in would be hit by the shells in the next second.

In this case, every second is like a year for the Riken tribe, which is extremely tormenting.

And don't look at the serious consumption of ammunition by the swarm, but in fact the consumption of the Riken tribe is not low.

More than 700 warships ran at full speed for more than 100 hours, and the energy consumed was astonishing. At the same time, because of the constant changes in the direction and angle of travel, the spirit of the crew is highly concentrated. Even if each battleship has three fleet teams, which are constantly taking turns to rest, under the oppressive atmosphere, the crew has reached the limit.

On the contrary, those ordinary armed men only need to pray that they will not be hit by shells.

Now that there is good news that the other party can't hold on, everyone knows that what they have done is not useless, which greatly boosts morale.

Although in essence, although the amount of shelling has decreased, there are no fewer waves of attacks at all, but the coverage is sparser.

Converted into data, the hit rate has dropped from 2% to 1%. In fact, there is not much difference at all. It is still a matter of luck. But this change felt completely different to the Rickens. From the data point of view, the difference was completely doubled.

In the next few days, the two sides continued to face off like this. The Rickens circled around the Zerg Swarm troops, while the Zerg Swarm shelled to prevent the Rickon fleet from approaching.

The bombardment firepower of the swarm has weakened again now, and the total number of electromagnetic cannons fired is estimated to be only over 2,000, which is less than 30% of what it was at full strength. And the Rickon tribe has also ushered in new changes. Some functional ships with strange shapes rushed to the battlefield from the interior of the galaxy.

There are thirty-two of these functional ships in total. The overall shape is similar to that of a battleship, but the number of main and auxiliary guns on the outside of the hull is extremely small. There are only two main guns and eight auxiliary guns.

They are empty mineships that have only joined the battle order in recent years, and they can quickly deploy mines in space. These landmines are divided into several models, ranging in size from half a meter to two meters. The power is directly related to the body size. The larger the body, the more power.

These landmines are equipped with external solar panels, which can stand by for a long time in space, and are equipped with an automatic enemy detection device. When an enemy unit is close to the surrounding three kilometers, it can start its own jet engine, quickly impact and adsorb to the target. detonate itself.

At the same time, they also have an invisible coating on the outside, which can absorb and refract radar waves. Although they can be easily observed with an optical system or even with the naked eye, thousands of kilometers in space are extremely short, and most of them rely on radar to detect their way. When they are seen by the naked eye, it is too late to dodge. Therefore, their invisible coating still has some effect.

These empty mineships can quickly deploy these mines in a certain area. Hamis transferred these ships to block the space for the swarm troops to move.

In a few more days, the Lazer planet will reach the nearby revolution orbit. The Razer planet is not covered by the atmosphere. Although the Rikens have done proper hiding, if the optical observation system is advanced enough, they can still find the surface of the planet. Something is wrong.

There are some unknown bulges that do not conform to the laws of nature.

However, the Zerg fleet did not respond to this, and Hamis and other senior commanders speculated that the opponent's related technology was relatively backward, so they called in targeted air mine ships.

One is to prevent the Zergs from escaping. They have played with their opponents here for so long. If the opponent retreats first at a critical moment, that is not very good.

The second is that the opponent's observation device is not good. If you turn around and hit a minefield directly, you can not only save a lot of effort, but also earn a lot of credit.

So, under the cover of the First Space Fleet, these air mineships followed the fleet in circles around the swarm fleet, while setting up minefields in some specific areas.

Due to the limited number of mines carried, it is certainly impossible to arrange all of them in such a wide area, so they only arranged some minefields in a confrontational manner, and at the same time set aside passages for their own people to pass through.
