The Death Knell

"It is impossible to divide the troops. It is impossible to divide the troops in this life."

In an asteroid ring in the Andromeda M31 planetary system, a spacecraft with three people and a dog was turned off and lurking. The light of the pale pink star made their spacecraft look very inconspicuous, like space junk.

In the cabin, Su Ming was giving a lecture to Black Bolt with his legs crossed.

After the jump was completed, he did not encounter an enemy immediately. Black Bolt expressed his confusion, so he raised a sign and asked Deathstroke. Deathstroke said to wait, and when the insect swarm arrived, a few people would launch a surprise attack.

Black Bolt held up the wooden sign with a righteous look on his face and wrote frantically: "Leave me and Tetanus to deal with the bugs, and you go deal with Galactus."

Then Su Ming said the previous sentence, expressing his determination not to act separately.

"The number of insect swarms is difficult to handle, and it takes time for the Galactus to fight alone. We can only maintain our lives through tactics. There are so many asteroids here, and the sensor effect is limited. I really like it here."

I don't know why, after hearing Deathstroke's words, Black Bolt and Tetanus both tensed up. They always felt like Deathstroke was planning to steal something from them.

But this feeling went away as quickly as it came. He tore up the piece of paper and wrote again:

"Why? Isn't it a more efficient choice to divide the troops?"

Su Ming shook his head, revealed the lower half of his face, took a bottle of wine and took a sip:

"Even if the enemy's strength is overwhelmingly superior to the opponent's, it is definitely unwise to divide the troops. Blind pursuit of efficiency on the battlefield will result in the same result as the blitzkrieg of World War II, and the universe is much wider than the Soviet Union."

The Dark Knights next door is an example. In fact, according to the plan of the Laughing Bat, their plan to involve the Zhenglian in various places to defeat each other and challenge them individually is not wrong.

One of Kuangxiao's only mistakes was that he didn't expect Su Ming to appear. Deathstroke gathered a team and killed several dark knights.

Another mistake was not expecting the Joker's attitude. He thought that since he was both Batman and the Joker, the Joker in the main world would like him.

This is the case with Su Ming's team now. If they are put together, they will have the strongest human shield in the Marvel Universe, good single and group attack methods, plus the big dog's long-distance teleportation.

But what about separation? Black Bolt and Big Dog cannot defeat Galactus, and Deathstroke and Carol may also be held back by the swarm.

It's definitely a bad idea to split up your troops before you know what kind of enemy your side will encounter first, and only superheroes like to split up.

Besides, Andromeda is the hinterland of the Skrull Empire. Although several planetary systems passed by the Zerg pioneers should have been evacuated, as long as there is a move here, the Skrulls will react no matter what.

If three people and one dog are together all the time, it will be much more convenient whether turning in or out.

Black Bolt lowered his head to think, and slowly placed the wooden sign on his lap. He accepted Deathstroke's statement. He put his hand on the big dog's head and touched it slowly.

In fact, he had never been on the battlefield, or even fought with others in a real sense. He just asked questions to cover up his inner panic.

Deathstroke naturally knows these.

He was drinking and joking around sitting still, of course, to adjust the atmosphere and make the tools and dogs not too nervous. It would be too late to be nervous when hundreds of millions of insects rushed over.

"Skrull patrol discovered."

At this time, Carol, who had been sitting in the driver's seat, whispered, as if she was worried about being heard.

Su Ming moved closer to the front window and took a look. Even without instruments and equipment, he could see the green and purple-painted fleet with the naked eye. If the Kree fleet looked like a conventional prismatic hull, Nask Lu's battleship is more like an oblate plate.

The fleet, like a black cloud in the universe, was sailing majestically on the route outside the asteroid belt. The space disturbance caused by the giant ship's engine even made the small spacecraft of a few people tremble slightly.

"Ship type?" Deathstroke put down the bottle and put his fist on his chin.

Carol operated the control panel and tried her best to observe the fleet without being discovered: "One mothership, twenty cruisers, fifty frigates, no supply ships, there must be a military port in the nearby star field .”

"It's a small fleet. With this configuration, it should carry less than three million people. I don't know if it will be enough..." Deathstroke drew out his weapon, covered his whole face with a black and yellow mask, turned around and walked towards the warehouse. Go: "Remember to open the door later."

"Is anything enough?"

Carol turned to ask, but the death knell was gone. She only saw the corner of the black cloak flashing past, and the warning light for the warehouse's loss of pressure and temperature also lit up on the console. Almost instantly, she saw the death knell dragging in front of her. The golden light flashed past.

He headed towards the fleet.

"Are you going to deal with the Skrull fleet alone?" Carol sighed, picked up the bat gas tank at hand and planned to go out to help.

But Black Bolt reached out to stop her, and quickly wrote a word on the answer board in her confused eyes:

"Bait."

Carol understood, and now she turned to look at the small bright spot in the universe, her eyes filled with shock. Did Deathstroke intend to drag this fleet here to use it as bait to attract the Zerg? When did he make this plan?

Black Bolt's guess was correct. Su Ming left the warehouse this time to destroy the mothership's engine.

There is at least one General Skrull on it. As soon as the mothership stops, the small battleships guarding it will also stop, waiting for the mothership to regain its ability to move.

Because the action route of the Bru Zerg is particularly unknown, we only know that the Zerg vanguard passed through a series of planetary systems belonging to Andromeda such as M31 and M34. The large army will follow this route to the earth. The Skrull Empire also moved these few Immigration to the planetary system.

However, the M31 planetary system is still hundreds of light-years in diameter, and it is impossible to determine which specific route the Zerg army will take.

On the other hand, Su Ming asked about the patrol route of the Skrull fleet through "enthusiastic" alien friends when he was in the Golden Palace. The Skrull Empire sent many fleets of this size to patrol back and forth in the evacuated unmanned galaxy, looking for Traces of swarms.

That's why a few of them lurked in the asteroid belt close to the route. After all, instead of searching everywhere aimlessly and risking being discovered by the Skrulls, they might as well use three million cans of meat to see if they could Attract the swarm of insects.

Fleet soldiers are almost the same as submarine soldiers. As long as the ship loses power, it can only float in space waiting for rescue or death. The Skrulls are no exception. The meat wrapped in iron is canned.

A fleet of their size, whether it is on mobile alert or trying to repair the ship, the energy it emits will definitely attract the attention of bugs, and the residents of nearby planetary systems have been evacuated. In other words, only the fleet and Deathstroke's The team is considered as food along the way.

I just don’t know if the insect swarm will think that there are too few millions of people to eat...

It would be best if this fleet could call in more people to support it. If the entire Skrull Empire faced off against the Bruzers, Deathstroke would have more tactical options. Maybe he could even negotiate a deal with the Skrull Queen.

Flying, accelerating, through the icy universe.

Tens of thousands of kilometers away is the Skrull colony that was plundered by the vanguard of the swarm. The planet that might have been full of vitality is now exuding an ominous purple-black color. Not only has all the biomass on it been swept away by the bugs, the planet has also been poisoned. Infection, it is unknown how many thousands of years it will take to reuse it.

If we don’t want the earth to follow suit, we must stop the bug first and delay it until Galactus enters the scene. When the time comes, both sides will first make dumplings out of the insect swarm, and then it will be time for the real battle to begin.

Deathstroke flying through the space tightly held the God Killer in his hand. His red one eye stared at the thruster of the Skrull Mothership, which was several kilometers in size. He circled quietly and disappeared from the shadow of the giant ship. .

............................

"Tsk, the quality of the Skrull battleship is good." Deathstroke got into the mothership through the hole, ignored the alarm that was still sounding the pressure loss alarm, and walked in the corridor while chatting with Black Bean Sprout: "I just don't know about the battleship Where is the engine room?"

Strangler shook for a moment, and a thought came to him. He was not sure whether alien battleships would have something like an engine room like Earth battleships.

"Well, that makes sense. Then let's destroy the energy core. If you want to fly, you have to use energy. As long as it doesn't cause an explosion, the meat is still useful." Su Ming touched Douya's head, and the smooth hand felt very soft.

The cloak shook its collar, and it became excited when it heard the energy. It had not eaten something like the core of an alien battleship yet.

How to eliminate the battleship's power without causing an explosion? Of course, the best way is to absorb the energy source. It knows that its opportunity has come.

It quickly rubbed Deathstroke's mask, rubbing it until it sparkled, showing that it was very capable.

"Okay, the decision is yours!" Su Ming seemed to suddenly become enthusiastic, and just as the cloak swayed happily, he flicked the collar of the cloak with his fingers: "Do you think I would say this?! See first Let’s decide based on the actual thing. If the Skrulls use the ‘Faith Engine’, then only strangulation can eat that thing.”

The Faith Engine is a special spaceship power used by Marvel's "Cosmic Truth Church". They soak believers in jars and convert their spiritual power into energy to propel their giant church equipped with an engine. Cities travel through space.

It can be regarded as green energy. After all, as long as there are corpses and newborns, the system can almost be said to be perpetually moving. But a cruiser requires millions of people to drive it and takes up a lot of space inside the ship. It’s hard to say whether it’s cost-effective or not.

The cloak wilted again and let out a silent cry.

‘Don’t be an engine of faith! ’

Su Ming was actually just teasing it. The technological tree climbed by the Skrulls was similar to that of the Kree. They were both civilizations that followed the technological route. For them, the mysterious side of the Faith Engine was completely incomprehensible.

But the Skrull Mothership is a large multi-layered disk with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers. Where will the energy be located?

While flying forward in the bottom cabin, Su Ming tried to use the cosmic translator to find things like road signs. However, when he encountered the maintenance team who came to inspect the damage to the hull, he knew that the leading party was there.
