I Am the Swarm

It's a pity that it's too late to "escape" now, and the encirclement is close to closing.

Because most of the energy was sent to the engine, the already sparse artillery fire became less threatening, and the First Fleet took the opportunity to break into the firing range.

The gunners, who had been beaten for more than ten days and were unable to fight back, had their anger gauges full, and the sky filled with red energy beams sprinkled on the advance area of ​​the Taikoo cluster.

The rate of fire of the energy weapons of the Rickon tribe was much faster than that of the electromagnetic cannon, and under the full attack, they actually shot out a rain of light.

Even if the Primordial class has good resistance to energy weapons, if it hits this level of covering strike hard, it will probably suffer heavy damage.

There is light and rain blocking the road in front, and there is a minefield threat on the side. If the swarm troops want to avoid the attack, they can only dodge to the rear.

But in this way, the original retreat plan came to an end.

Between being destroyed now and being destroyed later, the swarm commander chose the latter.

The advance momentum of the Taikoo-class cluster stopped, and then the fleet flicked its tail as a whole, wading through a short section of minefields, and retreating towards the rear.

Seeing such a scene, Khamis clenched his fist fiercely and swung it in the air: "Okay!"

At this time, in the communication channel, the laughter of Novaru, the commander of the Third Fleet Corps, sounded: "Haha, well done Khamis! We will be there soon!"

The bug swarm was turned around, and the other two reinforcement fleets watched this scene.

One hour seems to be a long time, but in space warfare, the time for several rounds of shelling will pass quickly. After turning around and turning back, it was even more difficult for the swarm fleet to adjust its formation and attack the encirclement circle, and it was too late to say.

This indicated that the first phase of the Rickon's tactical plan had been achieved, so Novaru couldn't help laughing.

The swarm troops obviously understood their situation, instead of continuing to attack the minefields and firepower nets, they took advantage of the situation to increase the output power of their engines and flew towards the interior of the Riken galaxy.

"Be careful! They are jumping over the wall in a hurry! Novaru, get to your position quickly. If you put them in the inner circle, you have to go to the staff headquarters with Massai to drink tea!"

"Fuck!" Novaru couldn't help but swear.

Because of his defeat, Masai was relieved of his military power and went to the staff department as a special staff officer. Going to the staff headquarters to have tea with him, doesn't that mean that because of a mistake, he was also removed from the military power?

This damn Khamis looked like a good man, but he didn't expect to speak so viciously. After the war, he had to find an excuse to fight him.

Novalub has a violent personality. Although he is already in a high position, it is still common to fight. He used to fight with Masai, and now it is normal to add another opponent.

But even though he thought so, Novaru's military literacy is not lacking, otherwise he would not be able to achieve his current position.

The engines of the more than 780 warships of the Third Army were overloaded, and the speed suddenly increased by a few points.

In fact, the current situation is not as urgent as it seems. This kind of reaction of the swarm army has long been calculated by the Riken tribe. Therefore, on this path, there are also minefields.

The area that Novaru needs to block is not large, even if he doesn't speed up, he can basically close the gap in time. However, it is also possible that mistakes may occur, allowing some of the Primordial Level to break through successfully. Although the probability is very small, it is not impossible.

Therefore, it is better for him to be quicker. Although it is not a big trouble even if he misses a few, it will not reach the level of lifting military power, but there are always flaws.

The Third Fleet, which was advancing at full strength, made no mistakes in the end, and successfully blocked the way before the swarm troops left. At this time, the Second Fleet also arrived at the designated location, and the encirclement was completely closed!

"Press them to Star Lazer!" Khamis shouted over the comm channel.

"You don't need to say it!" Novaru choked, this guy is very vengeful.

In four directions, three fleets blocked three directions, and the only one that was not blocked was Lazer Star, which was also a specially reserved passage.

——

"Haha, there is a gap for us, very good, as they wish, move forward at full speed!" Sarah gave an order, and the Taikoo cluster turned around and moved towards Lazer Star.

——

Seeing that the swarm found the "gap" in the encirclement and moved towards it cooperatively, the communication channels of the three major fleets were filled with a festive atmosphere, as if the battle had been won.

Indeed, the swarm fleet that was about to run out of ammunition was indeed like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in front of them.

The swarm troops and Star Lazer are moving in opposite directions, so the two sides will meet in a short time. But at this moment, the Riken troops on Lazer star showed their ferocious side.

Much of the camouflage covering has been removed, revealing the artifacts beneath them. Huge steel bases, thick and long barrels, and densely packed ground defense facilities are all over the surface of the planet.

Thousands of fusion reactors provide energy for these steel behemoths. Terrifying energy is gathered, and then red light is ejected from the muzzle.

The cost of these land-based turrets is much cheaper than that of warships, so the number is particularly large. At this time, the number of turrets firing has reached more than 30,000, which is several times more powerful than the three major fleets.

This is the trump card of the Ricken tribe, and it is their confidence to eat the vanguard of the swarm with a small amount of battle losses.

All the actions before were aimed at forcing the swarm troops in this direction and entering the effective strike range of the land-based turret.

Although this method can only be used once due to the limitation of Lazer Star, Zerg who have been fooled once will definitely take precautions. But it doesn't matter, these powerful planetary defense measures will make Lazer Star like a bunker, stuck in the swarm's marching route.

Any swarm troops that pass by it need to show respect for its powerful attack capabilities. Any military operations must take into account the existence of this nail, which will greatly affect the range of activities and energy of the swarm troops.

Facing the overwhelming energy beams, in the eyes of the Rickens, facing such ferocious firepower, the swarm troops should give way first, and then turn around and break out in the direction where the three major fleets are defending.

But it takes time to turn around and readjust the formation. At this time, only the three major fleets need to concentrate their firepower to intercept, disrupt the rhythm of the swarm troops, and hold them for a while.

Under the double attack of land-based artillery fire and warship firepower, this force will soon be defeated.

As long as the swarm troops are scattered, they will lose the ability to attack the encirclement, and they can only be slowly eaten away in the end.

As long as you win this battle, you will not only enjoy endless credit and honor. At the same time, it will wipe out the impact of Massai's fiasco at the beginning, boost the morale of the race, dispel the doubts of most people, and make subsequent military operations smoother.

However, this is just their wishful thinking.
