I Am the Swarm

Although electromagnetic guns have the disadvantage of slow flight speed of shells, they have the advantage of super long shooting distance. At this time, the electromagnetic guns can easily attack the coalition forces that are not within the range of energy weapons.

The premise is that they do not dodge or avoid.

This is of course impossible! How can there be creatures that do not dodge in the face of attacks that can seriously injure themselves?

But the coalition fleet at this time really couldn't dodge these electromagnetic projectiles.

Because their formation is too dense, they lack room to dodge. If they patronize themselves to dodge, they may run into the friendly army next to them.

Besides, if they dodge, it will inevitably stop their progress and disrupt the overall formation.

But for this kind of attack, even if they don't avoid it, they still have a way to deal with it. The Duoqi tribe used to have a repulsive position generation device, but now there are all big bosses who are stronger than the Duoqi tribe, so naturally there will be no such device.

And even if they didn't, after reading the Zerg's information, they know that they like to use electromagnetic guns, and they will install them before fighting.

Sure enough, when the electromagnetic projectile was still on the way, the coalition warships at the forefront started to repel it. A continuous repulsive force field is enough to nullify the attacks of the bug swarm.

But the bug swarm didn't expect any results from these two waves of attacks.

The repulsive position is an extremely energy-consuming device, and it is not a device that must be turned on routinely. Ordinary civilizations will not specially set up energy supply equipment and systems for it.

Therefore, when the repelling position is turned on, except for the warships of a small number of races such as the Tero race, more than 70% of the warships have reduced engine output power by a few points, and their speed has inevitably slowed down.

At this time, one of the disadvantages of the coalition forces was revealed, that is, the coalition forces were composed of the IWC cards, and the performance parameters of each warship were different. Coupled with the complex command system with many factions, their synergy index was very low.

Take Weller's flagship for example. He stayed in the center of the battle formation. Except for a few frigates that belonged to the Tero tribe, the rest were battleships of weaker civilizations.

When the repelling position was just opened, those warships were all stopped and their speed slowed down, but Weiler's warships were not affected.

You must know that the current fleet is sailing at sub-light speed, and the battleships seem to be separated by hundreds or thousands of kilometers, but they are in the blink of an eye. Caton just now caused one of his frigates to almost collide with a foreign warship.

This kind of thing happened in many places in the battle, causing some riots, and one of them even actually collided. These accidents and riots caused disharmony in the war that was originally considered a whole.

This is the purpose of the swarm. After another two rounds of electromagnetic guns were fired, the unaffected Trot warships moved forward bravely, making them in the position of sharp knives, moving forward, and even showing signs of being out of touch with the two wings.

The coalition commanders quickly discovered this and prevented them from continuing to accelerate, but these operations made the formation of the coalition forces a little worse.

A moment later, the sharp swords of the former army entered the range of the energy weapons of both sides, and for a moment, the two sides opened fire at the same time in tacit understanding. The red energy beams that filled the sky added another color to the dark void.

Just like when facing electromagnetic guns, the huge number of formations left neither side with much room to dodge. However, Zerg fared better.

First of all, the battle array that was set up in advance has a more reasonable layout, and although the coalition forces also had this layout at the beginning, they have lost it during the charge.

In fact, the Zerg's arms are all space octopuses. This thing is a living body, just like between people, as long as the force is within a certain limit, there is no problem in colliding with each other.

And the steel warships of the coalition forces are like cars. Although it is fine to touch it, but the solid body is more cumbersome, and it is difficult to control this speed.

Therefore, it can be seen that the space octopuses can evade the firepower of the coalition forces in a small area, but the coalition warships can only resist.

Since the coalition army's sharp knives are charging to the line, the Zerg are waiting for work, so when they enter the range, the attacks from the Zerg direction are far more than those from the coalition side.

In this case, when the coalition commanders did tactical rehearsals, they discovered this problem. Therefore, they installed thick reactive armor on the warships that act as sharp knives.

As long as the sharp blades can withstand two rounds of rolling fire, the flanks and allied forces on both wings can rush into the shooting range and share the pressure of the sharp blades.

But the mistake in coordination just now made the sharp blades too protruding, causing them to suffer four rounds of grinding firepower bluntly.

The calculations of the coalition forces are relatively accurate. After two rounds of firepower exchanges, most of the warships in the sharp knife department have severely damaged reactive armor and slightly damaged hulls. A very few of them were particularly unlucky, and suffered an attack that exceeded the upper limit in a short period of time, and their armor was broken down. But the number of this part is very small. When the two rounds of firepower exchanges are completed, less than 10,000 ships have withdrawn from the battlefield.

But in the third and fourth rounds that followed, the so-called sharp knife department suffered a lot. Although the warships of the Trojan civilization and others are advanced enough, in a battle of this order of magnitude, quantitative changes have caused qualitative changes. Unless there is a generation difference, it is useless to be so advanced.

After four rounds of exchange of firepower, the battle damage ratio of the Sharp Knife Division has soared from 3/1000 to over 40%, and the surviving battleships are also not light, and their combat effectiveness is doubtful.

It can be said that a simple command and coordination error reduced the sharp knife department by nearly half, and this is the most essential part of the coalition.

In the current sharp knife department, they with the tip of the knife knocked off, there is a high probability that they will not be able to complete the pre-arranged task of cutting the Zerg battle formation.

"MD, what are the troops on the flanks doing?" The coalition commander's heart was bleeding at this moment. Most of the sharp knives were his Trot warships. This was the most powerful and sharpest fleet in the alliance. As soon as the war started, the losses were heavy.

This mistake made him face accusations of dereliction of duty from the clan afterwards. If it was the accusations of those foreign races, given his status, he would not care at all, because the Trouts were his backing, but now, the accusations came from the backing itself, which was very serious to him.

But there is no need to think about the future for now, because he has to get through the immediate crisis first.

When Weller led the fleet to invite the swarm to join the Star Sea Alliance, there were only a few hundred thousand warships in the fleet, and there were several voices, representing the interests of multiple parties.

But now, there are nearly twenty races, and within each race, it is difficult to see a monolithic one. The complex relationship inside can be tied into a ten thousand year knot.

In the past, the commander of the coalition forces could rely on his absolute strength to suppress these messes, but now the loss of the headquarters fleet will make his voice in the coalition forces drop rapidly.
