I Am the Swarm

If the Swarm had a logistics base in the Rickon system, it would be possible to slowly consume them out of range of the Rickon's main cannon.

The two sides can even confront each other for several years or even decades, until the resources in the galaxy are exhausted.

But there is no if now, the swarm must capture Lazer planet before the metal elements in the primordial class are exhausted.

After taking the lead in attacking for more than 20 rounds, the Taikoo-class cluster finally entered the range of the main cannon of the Rickens. The Riken tribe, who had been beaten for a long time, had long been looking forward to this moment, and immediately issued an order to counterattack.

The land-based cannons on Lazer star fired first, but because the energy system needs to give priority to energy supply to the laser defense array, only 80% of the cannons are firing.

But even if it is 80%, there are tens of thousands of them, and because of the faster rate of fire and the red light all over the sky, it is much more powerful than the silent electromagnetic shells several times.

Facing the incoming red light, the Taikoo group deployed their formation, reduced the energy supply of the electromagnetic gun, lowered its firing frequency, and gave priority to supplying most of the energy to the engine organs.

The engine organs were running at full power, and the Taikoo-class was covered with blue arc flashes, the sound and light effects were immediately raised, and the forward speed was also instantly accelerated.

Because of the sudden acceleration of the Taikoo class, the previous round of energy beams did not make any progress, and all of them were empty.

"Block them!" Khamis yelled.

The fleet and space rail guns that were previously hiding behind Star Lazer also turned out at this time, the base of the main gun rotated, and opened fire immediately after adjusting the angle.

The number of energy main cannons, which were still at a disadvantage just now, suddenly doubled, and the huge number of red beams seemed to dye the dark starry sky red.

On the other side, the Taigu class, which was covered in blue electric light, rushed forward without hesitation in the face of an even stronger resistance.

The red light and the blue light quickly approached and collided together. Against the dark background dotted with stars, it was extremely beautiful and spectacular.

But this beauty is accompanied by the disappearance of life.

Due to the intensive attack in this round, more than 20 Taikoo-class ones lost their ability to move. There is nothing wrong with them themselves, but they need to lie in space for a period of time before they can recover.

However, the adults and larvae carried in their bodies were affected. The adults were larger in size and had many bacterial strains in their bodies. They were just injured, but more than a dozen of the 200-30-meter-class larvae died.

For a cluster of tens of thousands of animals, this loss is negligible, so the blue electric light continued to move forward.

During the third round of salvo, the supercomputer of the Rickon tribe had corrected the relevant parameters, and with the closer distance, the violent energy beam arrived faster.

Among them, about 20% of the Taikoo-level controllable dodge positions are almost all covered. There is no way, these Taikoo-class can only bear it and continue to move forward.

In this round of red and blue collision, a total of more than 300 immemorial corpses were killed, and thousands of adults and juveniles were blown up.

The rate of fire of the energy cannon was very fast, and after a while, the fourth round of strikes followed, because the distance narrowed again, this time nearly 500 Taikoo-level lying corpses, and more than 2,000 adults and juveniles were damaged in battle.

During the four rounds of strikes by the Riken tribe, the Taikoo class also took the time to launch a round of counterattack. Tens of thousands of electromagnetic projectiles, in addition to causing some warships of the Riken tribe to dodge, disturbed some shooting rhythms, and exploded a few dodges with clumsy actions. Apart from the rail cannon, there is no other gain.

The fifth round of bombardment from the Rickens arrived, and the red and blue collided again. The blue left nearly 800 ancient-level lying corpses, and more than 3,000 adults and larvae were lost.

However, before the sixth round of the Rikon's bombardment came, the Taigu class's position had already reached the adult combat radius. The two sides of the space octopus split open, and adults emerged from it one by one. Adults ranging from 20 meters to 100 meters instantly expanded the size of the swarm army several times.

The Taikoo class, which had lightened its burden, sped up again and rushed past the coverage of the sixth round of Rikon's shelling. The red light and the blue light were staggered. Apart from killing hundreds of adults running at the end, this shelling had little to gain.

Immediately after the parameter modification, the seventh round of shelling made great achievements again, and the red light and blue light collided violently again. Nearly a thousand Taikoo-class were left behind, hundreds of adults were blown up, and the loss of larvae was incalculable.

But before the eighth round of shelling arrived, the Taikoo-class cluster entered the larvae's combat radius. If it is said that putting in adults just now is like a python coming out of its hole, then now it is a swarm of bees leaving the nest.

A large black mass of larvae rushed out of the Primordial Class body. Even though some were lost before, the number of larvae still exceeds one million.

After several rounds of shelling, there are still more than 8,000 Taikoo-class ones that can move normally, and 5,000 of them no longer move forward, but deploy the electromagnetic gun again, and projectiles are ejected during the arc flash.

Unlike the previous round, which was a hasty shooting under extremely fast movement, the accuracy of this stable shooting was greatly improved, and a large number of shells flew towards the space rail gun.

These things are not weak in firepower, but they are bloated, move slowly, and do not have the cooperation of the laser defense array, so they are the best priority targets.

At the same time, the remaining more than 3,000 Taikoo-class ones gathered together. Every hundred of them formed a layer of physical defense, forming a full 30-layer defense at the top.

Adults and juveniles gather behind them. With the current shooting angle of the Rickens, it is basically impossible to injure those adults and juveniles without completely penetrating through the thirty layers of defense.

The Primordial Class, which had no internal burden at all, increased its speed again during the flash of the blue arc, covering the small and medium-sized combat units behind it and rushing forward.

"Stop them!"

It took a very short time to re-adjust the parameters, rotate the main gun, and adjust the angle. The defense system of the Riken tribe completed all of this with the cooperation of supercomputers and artificial intelligence.

But at this time the electromagnetic shells had arrived, and as expected, thousands of orbital cannons with little protection were blown up.

As the two sides gradually approached, the advantage of the flying speed of the violent energy beam was gradually wiped out. When the distance was longer, the difference in the flying speed of the shells for nearly half an hour and several minutes was obvious.

But the distance is close, the gap between three minutes and tens of seconds is not too big.

When the projectiles of the second round of long-range support of the Zerg Primordial Class were fired, the energy beams of the Riken's counterattack also reached the front of the Zerg Troop.

If the red light and blue light just now were astigmatism, then now they are condensed javelin collisions.

The 30-layer defense of the swarm army lost two layers, and dozens of Primordial-class were smashed into powder, becoming the first Primordial-class to be killed in this battle.

The remaining more than one hundred Taikoo-class ones were also severely injured.

But this time, they didn't have the chance to lie dead in space, but were directly supported by the defensive layer behind them and continued to move forward.

They will serve as the first layer of protection in the next round of red light impact, showing their final value.
