My Clone Empire

As for why there are captive humans in the territory of the Zerg, the reason is very simple. You know, although the Federation is now sunset, they still have a large number of weapons of mass destruction.

In order to make the people of the federation be wary, the Zerg can only keep some populations on the planet as hostages!

In this way, for fear that the carpet bombing would harm civilians, the Federation fleet did not dare to carry out a devastating attack on the colonial planet occupied by the Zerg.

At the same time, the humans chosen by the Zerg to survive are generally the most knowledgeable people on the colonial planet, usually engineers and scientists.

This kind of person has low combat effectiveness and no ability to resist, and can continue to maintain the operation of the factory and the mining of the mine for the Zerg.

And those young adults, veterans, the old, the weak, the sick, etc. were turned into rations for the Zerg.

This massacre plan, which only leaves the elite population, also ensures the safety of the Zerg on this planet.

After all, if it is ordinary people, they may kill them together with the Zerg, and the Federation will not feel too heartbroken.

But if the captives on the planet are technical workers, engineers, scientists, etc., then it will be very difficult for the Federation to attack. After all, if these people can be rescued, the strength of the Federation will be greatly enhanced!

Anyway, the Zerg wouldn't eat these people, so they would simply put them under the trusteeship of the Zerg for a period of time. This is the common thinking of the top federal officials.

Facing the 100 million surviving humans on this planet, fleet commander Luo Hong was also tangled.

If he burns these 100 million people to ashes together with the Zerg, although the task can be carried out smoothly, they will definitely bear a lifetime of guilt and cold-blooded infamy.

This is 100 million lives, not simply hundreds or thousands of people!

If these populations can be placed under the rule of the Andromeda Company, then the development speed of the Andromeda Company will be greatly accelerated!

Judging from the images taken, most of these preserved people are technical personnel with knowledge and culture, and it is rare to see muscular guys.

It would be a lie to say that you are not interested!

"Sir, what should we do?" The first officer of the flagship looked at Luo Hong in confusion.

"Wait a minute, I'll contact the higher-ups!" Luo Hong turned and walked towards the secret communication room.

A few minutes later, Luo Hong came back, his expression relaxed.

"The boss ordered us to leave a part of the troops to land on this planet, and the rest of the warships will continue to move forward!"

"That's it! The flagship and 100 cruisers stay, and all the other battleships continue to move forward!" Luo Hong chose a small number of battleships to stay on this planet, while the other main forces continued to attack the Zerg. Anyway, it won't be long before the Second Fleet will catch up, and a hundred cruisers are enough to suppress the Zerg troops on this planet. He is confident that he can win the ground battle in a short time and rescue the hostages, so that they can catch up with the large forces as soon as possible.

As for the position of the original commander, it was temporarily handed over to the deputy commander of the fleet's backup flagship.

Here I have to talk about the management structure of the Titan Group fleet.

First of all, the commander of the flagship is the commander-in-chief of the fleet. When the flagship is destroyed and the commander sacrifices, a spare flagship in the fleet will automatically be promoted to become the flagship.

There are as many as four such spare flagships!

Once the spare flagship and commander are all sacrificed, they will be continued according to the rank in the fleet, and the person with the highest rank will automatically become the new commander. If there are too many people of the same rank, the rank will be based on the age of service. The older the age of service, the lower the rank forward.

Luo Hong didn't know that his decision made him miss the upcoming battle ahead.

The siege fleet of the Zerg has rushed to deploy to their next target planetary system in front of the Andromeda company fleet, and now they are only waiting for the Andromeda company's fleet to come to their door.

Luo Hong didn't expect the Zerg to have such a deployment. Considering that he was better at landing battles, he chose to stay in this planetary system in order to end the battle as soon as possible.

When the main force of the fleet left, a hundred cruisers began airborne on the planet.

In order to force the enemy to the ground for hand-to-hand combat with ground troops, the Zerg did not build anti-aircraft weapons on this planet.

After all, if the warship is attacked by ground anti-aircraft weapons in orbit, it is likely that the planet will be considered too dangerous and give up rescuing the hostages.

Instead of using anti-air weapons, put your enemies on the ground and let them fight hand-to-hand with Zergs who are proficient in ground combat!

In the Andromeda Expeditionary Fleet sequence, it is different from the battleships responsible for dealing with the enemy's main battleships and the White Eagle-class destroyers for dealing with the enemy's swarms and small battleships.

The main task of the cruisers in the Andromeda Expedition Fleet is to protect the safety of the battleships, and at the same time shoulder the important task of covering the landing troops.

Each cruiser is equipped with a large number of marine soldiers and combat robots, and the weapons of the cruiser are also improved for ground attack.

After determining the landing site, a thousand large landing craft rushed out of the cruiser.

It is said to be a boat, but it can actually be called a landing ship! The length of each landing craft has reached fifty meters! Each cruiser with a length of one kilometer is equipped with only ten large landing craft.

The front of these landing craft has a thick U-shaped armor, which protects the safety of the front, side, up and down five directions of the transport boat like a warhead.

It can allow the landing craft to rush through the enemy's firepower network in the enemy's powerful ground anti-aircraft firepower.

On the second half of the landing craft, sixteen near-anti-aircraft guns are installed. These near-anti-aircraft guns are mainly used to prevent enemy missiles and fighters.

Although the Zerg has no missiles or fighter planes, they still have flying units such as wasps, so these close-in defense guns have been retained.

When the bullet-shaped landing craft rushed into the atmosphere, the Zerg troops on the ground began to reveal their weak anti-aircraft firepower.

A large number of biological material spikes fly high into the sky at high speed under the promotion of the biological thruster at the tail.

These extremely high-strength spikes are like steel needles, as long as they hit the flying landing craft, they will be directly inserted into the armor of the landing craft's head.

But fortunately, the armor of the landing craft still resisted these flying acupuncture shells.

When the landing craft lowered their altitude and reached the low altitude, each landing craft almost turned into a hedgehog, and the armor on their heads had been filled with gray spikes.

"Quick, quick! Prepare to airborne!" Inside the landing craft, the captain of the landing team carried by each landing craft closed his mask and shouted loudly while waving his arms.

At the same time, the side of the landing craft began to stretch out wings that were almost as wide as the landing craft. These wings not only allowed the landing craft to glide in the air, but also ensured that the landing craft could keep sliding for a very long time even if the anti-gravity device was destroyed. Long enough to deploy all troops safely to the ground.
