StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

"Entering combat distance. Norad is about to make contact with an enemy ship." Lieutenant Colonel Scott did not care whether a super monster as big as a battleship should be commensurate with an enemy ship. He just glanced back and forth at the data sent back by the sensor with the rigor of a soldier.

The lights on the bridge were brightly lit, and the marshal's staff officers in blue-black thick woolen coats were running around. Every crew member in front of the console was staring at the information on the screen. At this time, no one can be distracted in the slightest.

Outside the nanomaterial-shaped portholes is a rising energy shield force field, and the bloody remains of the original insect swarm are scattered in the sky of continuous gunfire. There was silence on the bridge, except for the sound of military boots and knocks. The sound of one person can immediately attract enough attention.

"The direction angle is 140, and the speed is 170 knots. This guy is 3/4 mile long, and his head is covered with thick bone plates and armor." He reported to Marshal Duke:

"Tactical analysis shows that it has a very high probability of choosing to attack our ship by impacting the hammer-shaped bone shield on its head."

The original zerg was shaped like a slender Terrador narwhal, but it was much larger. It also had multiple pairs of huge paddle-like fins and strong claws, and was similar to Some kind of weird lizard.

This group of primitive zerg that devoured the space genes of the dominant swarm was very different from their past form on the land of Zerus, and transformed into the apex predator in space at an extremely alarming rate of evolution.

Survive, adapt, evolve.

In essence, the original zerg that entered space still retained the characteristics of the original zerg, such as the ancient zerg teeth that have been passed down to this day.

The original zerg were originally a group of wonderful little dinosaurs that ran around in the hot and humid tropical jungle between the Zerus volcanoes all day long. Now they have become some kind of space dinosaurs.

"It's very similar to the attack method that Jim's wild dog would choose. He is as brainless as the current bastard." Duke narrowed his triangular eyes, like a snake spitting out letters.

"Open fire, no matter how you use it, kill it. This is not worth your fuss. The real main force of the Zerg is still behind." He said: "The entire fleet opens fire freely."

Duke's order was quickly passed to the squadron commander, the captains of each battleship, the gun commander and the fire control system. The Swordfish, King Power and Korhal Monarch in the same direction as the Norad III all turned around. Each artillery crew pointed at the primitive zerg that was rushing towards the own flagship.

After an astonishing broadside salvo, bright orange light penetrated the dark sky, blasting bone-deep wounds on the primitive zerg's body. But how ferocious a monster that can grow to such a size is, such pain is not enough to defeat it.

This ferocious monster has never seen the giant steel ship of the Tyranid humans. It may still be wondering how such a weak and fragile creature evolved to what it is now.

But it will figure it out soon. As long as it devours those iron-gray steel giants, it will be able to grow laser-shooting eyes like its opponent.

perhaps.

The main gun of the King Power opened fire, and then the bow of another battlecruiser also erupted with extremely bright fire. Even standing on the bridge of the Norad III, you can see this shocking scene. scene.

The primitive zerg suffered a fatal blow from the Yamato cannon on its head, almost opening the skull, and another laser-compressed nuclear blast beam knocked off its head.

"It's dead." As Scott said, more primitive zerg followed behind him. They hungrily devoured the flesh and blood of the giant beast regardless of the dense rows of fire from the Imperial fleet's guns.

It can be seen that these little monsters, which may not be much bigger than a glider, only ate the flesh and blood of a similar creature, and their bodies expanded in a circle. The primitive zerg have no objection whatsoever to eating their own kind, which is exactly what they have been doing since their creation.

Multiple Valkyrie frigates opened fire immediately, each missile bay turning to lock on the target, and rows of rockets roared out, causing a lot of damage to the dense swarm of primitive bugs, so much so that they were separated from each other as they advanced. Have to keep enough distance.

Thousands of Ice Dragon fighters and Viking fighters took off from the cabin of the Mammoth-class transport carrier. These powerful fighters are still as tiny as dust in front of a real battlecruiser, but they are fully capable of serving as capital ships. Provide adequate support.

As more and more primitive zerg were blasted to pieces by the firepower of the Imperial fleet, a vast area in the Bracken system was covered in large swaths of flesh.

But the range advantage of the Imperial battlecruisers only ended there. The primitive zerg did not only have fangs and claws, they soon launched a counterattack. The primal corruption flies can spit extremely corrosive acid, while others spit strong acid spores, concentrated bile, specialized bony bristles, and even ionic red flames, like the breath of a dragon.

With only pressurized nozzles and amazing muscles, the acid and spikes they spray can be accelerated to incredible speeds, which are powerful and fast enough to compete with human laser fire.

Despite having suffered heavy casualties before then, the primitive zerg counterattack still caused trouble for the Imperial fleet.

The battlecruiser at the forefront of the fleet formation had to raise its shields to resist the long-range attacks of the primitive zerg, but the attached small and medium-sized ships were unable to withstand them. Many small boats carrying out reconnaissance missions were unfortunately hit and immediately turned into a bright flame. Some pilots did not have time to eject from the cabin, and they became the first victims of the Battle of Bracken.

Duke immediately ordered the fleet to adjust its formation and expand the shield field, and this order was quickly implemented.

During the Guild War, capital ships only relied on strong armor to resist attacks, but now the well-developed shield field can put the Minotaur-class battleships in an advantageous position.

"Vulnerable." Duke stood on the bridge and looked out the porthole, but his eyes seemed to be farther away. He was a ruthless man and would never be swayed by the destruction of a few ships.

Duke knew the significance of this battle. If even someone like him could not lead the fleet to repel the swarm, then he believed that there would never be another one in this vast empire.

This is indeed the case. The imperial fleet only used six salvos to severely damage the invaders who broke into the Bracken system, giving the arrogant insect swarm a blow in the head.

But from beginning to end, the primitive zerg never retreated. Although they had independent consciousness, they were not very smart and relied entirely on combat instinct to attack.

The primitive zerg are indeed not united enough, even on the battlefield, and they will challenge the leader of the tribe to a duel whenever they get the chance.

"A new wormhole appeared in 484.5, with a diameter large enough for forty Minotaur-class battlecruisers to pass through side by side." Scott said:

"This is the biggest wormhole, and it comes with bad intentions."

The primitive swarm learned the ability to open wormholes from the Overlord Swarm, but unless they knew the clear coordinates, they could not jump directly to the hinterland of the empire. Therefore, the primitive zerg could only continue to advance like a torrent, which gave the Imperial fleet the opportunity to stop it.

"I want to see what that is." Duke said, "Upload the results of the radar scan to the home screen."

"Uploading now," Scott said.

On the main screen of Norad III, an unparalleled monster is emerging from the wormhole. It was a primitive zerg with an unusually large body. In the green image reconstructed by the three-dimensional holographic projection, it looked like a giant tree with a mushroom-like umbrella.

For some reason, Scott thought of a giant green broccoli with legs and gave himself a small nod to his sense of humor.

"Srivan, the mother of the swarm, we got the name of this original leader of the swarm from the dark priest Azma." Scott said to Duke:

"When Azima was walking through the jungle of Zerus, he noticed this extremely terrifying creature. At the beginning, Srivan, the mother of the swarm, was far from as big as it is now, and she did not have the ability to open wormholes. . But at that time, Srifan was already quite intelligent and could strengthen the strength of his tribe by constantly hatching primitive burrowing insects."

"Until Slivan met Sass, the Lord of the Gamu Swarm under the Overlord, Slifan fought with Sass's swarm in the Eternal Scar of Zerus for four years. During this period, it even ate We passed through Cerebrate Sars once, until the Jormungandr swarm joined the fight and was driven back with overwhelming force."

"Sass the Cerebral Worm? It's actually still alive." Duke was also a general who had experienced many wars and knew the reputation of the Cerebral Worm Sass.

This cunning and ferocious Cerebrate is famous for being the first Cerebrate to be killed and resurrected by Emperor Augustus.

"It is still alive and can be continuously resurrected by new masters." Scott said: "According to the record of the Ian crystal given to us by Master Azma, only the brainworm Sass has been eaten by the original zerg. But I was eaten four times.”

"The leader speculated that this brainworm might have liked the feeling of being eaten, so he chose to be caught on purpose."

"." Duke didn't laugh at this strange Nerazim joke. He didn't care.

Cerebrates can be resurrected by the Overmind, making them virtually immortal.

"Any other useful information?" the marshal asked.

"Almost all powerful primal zerg leaders are capable of spawning their own swarms, but all of them combined are not as powerful as Slivan," Scott said:

"Srifan can spit out deadly acid. Because of its huge size, it looks like a moving mountain. When the acid falls, it turns into a deadly rainstorm. The most terrifying thing is the ovipositor in its body, which can produce dozens of drops every day. With tens of millions of eggs, these eggs can instantly turn into terrifying primitive zerg."

"Want to overwhelm us with numbers?" Duke smiled: "There is only one way to deal with insects, burn them with fire, and if that doesn't work, flood them with water. Of course, this has to be considered two ways."

"Marshal, Slifan is using psychic energy to transmit information to us."

"Everything changes and everything perishes. Nothing in the world is eternal. Everything is flowing, everything changes with the changes of nature, and the times are advancing in constant changes."

In the translation device of Norad III, this became a poem from the ancient Earth poet Ovid.

It was a slightly shrill male voice.

"What is it talking about?" Duke is not illiterate, he just doesn't like to write.

"Can you make it understand what I'm talking about?"

"Of course." Scott knew the temper of his old commander. No matter what, Duke never lost his words: "But scolding him will not help."

"Tell it, this is the Tyranid Empire." Duke said, "Either get out now, or we'll give it a kick in the ass."

"Be strong when strong comes, children, for the sake of Zerus!" Slifan responded with a loud spiritual scream that left anyone who heard it with lingering fear.

Srivan's primitive swarm quickly passed through multiple gradually formed wormholes and launched an attack. Their number immediately exceeded five million. At the same time, tens of thousands of ferocious monsters appeared from Slifan's back every second.

The most numerous primitive zerg among them is similar to some kind of giant locust, with a large amount of acid accumulated in its bloated abdomen, and there are also a large number of primitive flying snakes.

These primitive flying snakes are mainly evolved from primitive mutalisks that absorbed the genes of scorpions. Their role on the battlefield is similar to that of scorpions, and they can control the battlefield by spitting poisonous clouds that confuse their vision.

The primitive flying snake can also use a soft nasal tube made of ruminant intestine to drag enemies towards it, like a frog using its tongue to ingest insects.

A large number of primitive zerg flew across the edge of the Bracken system and attacked the Imperial fleet, using all available attack methods to attack.

The situation was immediately reversed. The newly emerged primitive zerg were not only more numerous, but also stronger and faster. They were even able to dodge the battle cruiser fire in high-speed shooting and advance in the brilliant tongues of flames.

A battlecruiser named Imperial Glory came under concentrated attack. Large numbers of primitive locusts penetrated the battleship's energy shield, and violent explosions shook the battleship's huge hull.

The explosion in the middle of the ship was the most violent, almost tearing the battleship apart. Painful screams and flames filled the entire cabin, and a large number of debris scattered in the universe. The primordial zerg swarmed into the interior of the warship and began devouring human remains. Even the primitive flying snake used its nose tube to search for leftovers in the wreckage of the battleship.

This is the feast of the primal zerg, the desperate end of the human warriors.

Imperial Glory's sister ship tried to come to the rescue, but was immediately attacked fiercely. An Augustgrad Pride-class battlecruiser, the Red Empress, jumped around the Imperial Glory and used a scorching electromagnetic force field to burn away the primitive zerg adhering to the battleship.

The fate of the Empire's Glory only caused Duke to shift his gaze, and he then pointed at Slifan on the radar scan.

"Course 340 degrees, the entire fleet will maneuver and jump following the flagship Norad III." Duke already had a plan in mind:

"All warships warm up their main guns and prepare to fire according to my instructions."

It is obvious that even Duke can understand that in the primitive insect swarm of the tribal system, the leader is the brain and heart. Once the leader is killed, the primordial zerg will immediately fall apart.
