I Am the Swarm

Parts of the structure of the Primordial Class that was pushed at the front had been carbonized and blackened, and these carbides were broken and scattered under the rapid movement.

With almost no drag in space, the debris would travel far, far away.

The ninth round of artillery fire came, and they played their last value.

With their help, although the third layer of defense was completely disintegrated, the fourth layer of defense was only lightly damaged.

"Aren't they afraid of death?"

"Concentrate all firepower and prevent them from approaching!"

This kind of tactic of using the body as a shield to cover the charge is probably only a special force system like the swarm, which can be used as a conventional tactic.

If any commander dared to frequently use this type of tactic in a civilization of the Ricken race, he would have been dragged to a court-martial long ago.

But I have to say that this tactic is very effective.

When most of the Rickon's firepower is attracted by the meat shield, the 5,000 Taikoo-class in the distance can shoot with peace of mind. And under their cover, the Rickens must show due respect to these tens of thousands of electromagnetic projectiles, but they are dodging, and the shooting rhythm will inevitably be affected.

Under the chain reaction, the meat shield chariot only consumed 26 layers, and rushed to the front of the Riken defense line.

In the face of the menacing space octopus, the warships of the Ricken tribe did not dare to go straight to the front. While the warships were retreating, the cabin door opened, and a large number of fighter planes flew out of it.

Today's Riken warships, in addition to each of them routinely carrying hundreds of main fighters and wingmen, are also equipped with a new type of small unmanned aerial vehicle.

This new drone is only 2.5 meters long, not as big as some of the previous missiles. In fact, both in appearance and in function, it is very similar to missiles.

On the outside, it looks like a missile embedded with a pair of small wings. Except for a small-caliber cannon installed in the belly, it has no other long-range firepower.

However, except for the fire control radar at the front of the fuselage and the jet engine at the tail, most of the space in their main body is filled with explosives.

They are targeted products specially developed for larvae who like to fight in close quarters. They will follow the formation of fighter planes to fight. Because of the small caliber of the machine guns, it is difficult for them to rely on long-range firepower to pose a threat to the hatchlings.

But if the larvae are close to the fighter planes, they will actively intercept them. If the larvae use their arms and legs to catch them, it is time for them to return to their job of "bombing".

Thanks to the number of such small missile aircraft, the three major fleets and more than 2,000 warships have released nearly 100,000 fighter aircraft and about 500,000 small missile aircraft.

A total of 600,000 mechanical units rushed towards the adults and larvae of the insect swarm. Judging from the momentum, they did not lose the wind in the slightest.

When the two sides were separated by two to three hundred kilometers, the Ricken fighter formation suddenly stopped its forward momentum and braked neatly in space.

Because the stormtroopers of the swarm still had several layers of ancient-level meat shields in front of them, it was difficult to break through the ancient-level defenses with the firepower of the fighters. Therefore, if they collide head-on, I am afraid that the formation of fighter planes will suffer heavy losses.

Besides, the formation of fighter planes was meant to contain the troops, and they didn't want to engage in close combat with the space octopuses at all. Therefore, they scattered in all directions after a sudden stop. The entire formation was like a big net, waiting for the arrival of the swarm troops.

On the side of the swarm, the space octopus didn't dodge at all, and crashed into the big net.

The fighter planes formed up to pass the toughest meat shield of the swarm stormtroopers, and launched a fierce attack on the space octopus from all sides. The dense red energy beams crossed the starry sky and shot at the swarm troops.

Although these energy beams are mixed with the cannons of many missile machines, the dazzling beams themselves interfere with the swarm's actions.

Many hatchlings were severely traumatized by fighter beams as they avoided these cannon beams. Fortunately, there were too many of them, some large adults moved to the outermost circle of the charging team, using their bodies to block these attacks.

Finally, after several rounds of main artillery fire, the Rickens broke up the ancient-level tanks of the swarm stormtroopers, and the stormtroopers lost their hard "shields". The remaining adults and juveniles could not withstand the attack of the main artillery fire. .

When the next round of main guns came, they took the initiative to disperse, and the stormtroopers, who were unable to maintain a dense formation, also stopped their forward momentum.

Afterwards, they were completely entangled in the formation of fighter planes and could not be stored.

The insect swarm immediately adjusted its plan, and the adults and larvae attacked freely. While advancing, priority was given to solving the formation of fighter jets.

Noticing the change in the tactics of the swarm, the Rikens no longer aimed their main guns at these vanguard troops, but aimed at more than 5,000 long-range Taikoo troops in the distance.

Just now, these guys took advantage of the Rickens attacking the forward troops' meat shields, and they may have played a few rounds of output with peace of mind, almost destroying the Rickens' rail guns.

The main cannon of the Rickon tribe hastily turned its muzzle. In addition to using the main cannon to hit those small and medium-sized combat units, which feels a bit like a cannon hitting mosquitoes, another reason is that the long-range Taigu class that can be output with peace of mind, their destructive power is really Too big to let them output at all.

With the involvement of long-range artillery fire, the long-range Taigu class must maintain irregular movements, increase the amount of calculations of the Riken tribe, and reduce the possibility of being hit by themselves. In this way, their long-range hit rate and shooting frequency will drop significantly.

The same is true for the Riken fleet on the other side, they also have to move, after all, the destructive power of electromagnetic projectiles is much higher than their energy beams.

As a result, on the battlefield, a situation of long-range fighting against long-range and melee fighting close combat has formed.

A battle with a range of 100 kilometers, in the vast space, is indeed no different from close combat. The original plan of the Rickens was to keep the fighter formations apart and use long-range firepower to continuously consume the vital strength of the swarm troops.

But the real implementation of this plan is quite difficult, because the scene is too chaotic!

The two sides caught in the melee are surrounded by friendly or enemy forces in all directions.

Maybe the target you locked with yourself is more than 50 or even 100 kilometers away, but there may be another enemy unit 100 meters away from you.

In this kind of battlefield, because of the different reference objects, it is impossible to tell the distance. No unit can guarantee that all enemy units around 360 degrees are outside the safe range.

Therefore, this also led to the fact that perhaps the Riken driver was having fun with his opponent, keeping a safe distance of tens of kilometers and flying a kite. Seeing that the opponent was about to be killed, a third party inserted from the side would instantly kill him.

Moreover, this kind of chaotic battlefield requires a huge amount of calculations at all times. With the super calculations of the Riken tribe, it is impossible to give early warning for all emergencies.
