I Am the Swarm

More than two minutes later, the energy cannons of the swarm were fully charged. Individuals above the ancient level with atomic furnaces needed more energy because of the larger caliber of the energy cannons, but the charging speed was the fastest. Next is the individuals below the ancient level. Due to factors such as the cannon body and the distance from the energy source, the charging time is slightly sequential.

"Fire!" Not standard equipment has both advantages and disadvantages, but at this time the swarm cannot wait for all the individuals to be fully charged. When more than 80% of the individuals have completed charging, Sarah decisively gave the command to fire.

Because of the first round of data correction, although the number of energy cannons in this round of salvo has been slightly reduced, the damage caused is even greater than before.

More than sixty Doki warships were blown up, and nearly a hundred warships were incapacitated.

"How could this be!?" Diallo roared in disbelief after receiving the latest battle damage data.

He originally thought that the first round of attack was due to the backward technology of the energy weapons of the swarm, which resulted in low power and poor accuracy, so he confidently commanded the fleet to use the reactive armor on the front right side to harden the second round of attack by the swarm.

As a result, the Zerg Swarm was not due to backward technology and lack of power, but because it was the first time it was used on such a large scale and for such a long distance.

This caused Diallo to make a misjudgment. In addition, the reactive armor on the front side is not as thick as the front side, and this posture will expose the position of the engine on the side and rear. , magnifying this flaw. As a result, the Doki fleet suffered heavy losses in the second round of the swarm attack, and more battleship engine systems were destroyed.

"Start at full speed and widen the distance." Diallo scratched his hair violently.

"Your Highness, what about the personnel on the damaged battleship?"

"Set a coordinate point on the path we came just now, send it to them, and let them evacuate by themselves! We must leave immediately, or the losses will increase!"

"Understood, Your Highness." Asrit sighed inwardly. In this battlefield environment, one can imagine the success rate of using ships such as escape pods to evacuate from the battlefield.

Letting them evacuate on their own would hardly be that different from suicide, but she knew Diallo's order was correct. It may take several hours to rescue all the hundreds of warships that have lost their ability to move. This time is enough for the swarm to fire hundreds of rounds.

If these personnel continue to be dragged here, there will only be more and more damaged warships and wounded people until the entire fleet is buried here.

"No, Asrit, I think it's bad, let those personnel abandon the ship and find a way to go to the Rickon tribe!" Diallo rubbed his hair again and changed the order.

After thinking about it for a while, Aslit figured out the crux of the problem. Although this is not the home of the Doki Clan, and the Zerg Clan is not easy to mess with, there is still a soft persimmon to pinch.

Let the abandoned ship personnel go to the defense line of the Riken tribe. If the Zerg race chases after them, it will be equivalent to diverting the water to the east. Regardless of whether the Riken tribe participates in the battle or not, it will involve part of the Zerg tribe's force and reduce the pressure on the main fleet.

If the Zergs don't chase after them, then after seeing the technological strength of the Duoqi civilization, the Quanlikens will not dare to stop them, and even wait for them.

No matter what the result is, the Duoqi tribe is not too bad.

The red energy beam streaked across the sky, and after the third round of volleys, the Duoqi fleet began to accelerate, keeping the bow of the ship obliquely facing the direction of the swarm, and gradually moved away from the battlefield around the swarm.

Because of Diallo's self-confidence, the Duoqi fleet rushed too far forward. As I said before, this distance is almost equivalent to a hand-to-hand battle in space. The party with a speed disadvantage cannot leave the battlefield.

As the side with the speed advantage, the Duoqi fleet still has a certain hope of escaping. At this time, it was impossible for them to turn the bow of the ship and retreat directly in a big way. That would expose the rear main thrusters to the swarm's view, which at that distance would be suicidal.

Therefore, the Duoqi fleet must use the reactive armor on the front of the battleship to resist the Zerg artillery fire. Then, using the charging interval of the swarm, open the front and side thruster shields, and retreat obliquely backward.

In this way, the speed of retreating with the propellers in two directions is much faster than the speed of retreating straight back with the propellers in the front alone.

In fact, there are not many swarm combat units that can switch energy cannons here in Izumoxing, and there are only tens of thousands of them at full capacity. Calculated according to the standard configuration of two main cannons per unit, there are only about 20,000 main cannons.

As for the warships of the Doki fleet, although there are only more than 2,000 ships, each battleship has at least eight main guns. Like Diallo's flagship, there are sixteen main guns, so the main guns of the Doki clan The number of cannons is no less than that of the swarm, or even more.

Coupled with their energy cannon technology, it is indeed a bit better than the swarm, plus a more complete package, experience in use, and faster charging and shooting speed. Although the two rounds of attack by the swarm killed more than 10% of the Dodge fleet, the three rounds of shooting by the Dodge fleet achieved more results.

If you continue to fight head-to-head, the high probability of being completely wiped out is the Izumo Zerg base.

But Diallo didn't dare to do this at all, because even if the Zerg base on the side of Yunxing was forced to eat, the Dorchi fleet would suffer heavy losses. Now his sphere of influence is more than ten light-years away from his own side, and there is no support at all, while the reinforcements from the star near-orbit base on the Zerg side only need five hours to arrive on the battlefield one after another. If he is entangled with the Zerg here, if he is dragged here, he will only be overwhelmed by more and more sea of ​​insects.

Therefore, no matter what the price is, he must command the fleet to distance first, and distance will produce beauty. Only with distance can the advantages of technology be magnified. Only after opening the distance, Diallo has the capital to stand up.

——

"Your Majesty, they intend to withdraw from the battlefield."

"Well, I see. The commander of the opponent seems to be a decisive person." Sarah nodded slightly, squinting her eyes expressionlessly, wondering what she was thinking.

"Your Majesty, those remaining personnel seem to be withdrawing to the Riken tribe, what shall we do?"

"Leave them alone for the time being, and let the Liken tribe help us find out who the other party is." The Liken tribe accepted the disabled and wounded soldiers of the Doki tribe, and they would definitely ask about something. No matter what they asked, it would be better than now. Ignorance is stronger.

"How about our battle damage?"

"972 Taikoo-class tanks withdrew from the battle sequence, and 2243 Taikoo-class tanks were seriously injured, but they can still continue to fight after emergency repairs."

"Not bad, pay attention to data collection, don't care about casualties now, energy is given priority to supplying weapon systems, taking advantage of their indifference to fighting, and achieving more results."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
