The Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 35 35. Space Front (II)

As the terrifying purifying light sprayed out from the huge crystal at the bottom of the mothership, the Tyranid fleet also began to make emergency evasive actions.

The giant blue laser cut through the dark night sky and hit the Tyranid fleet fiercely. Due to the strong energy emitted by the mothership, a cruiser that was in the front and had no time to evade was directly vaporized in the terrible energy. Some other hive warships also suffered a devastating blow. The powerful energy beam directly drew several "straight lines" in the hive fleet.

Some hive warships that survived by chance were surprised to find that the original shells and meat where they were attacked had all turned into a light blue hot energy crystal, which was also the original function of the mothership. In fact, the mothership was not originally designed as a combat aircraft carrier. To put it bluntly, it was originally an armed mining ship. However, after the terrible civil war, the elder sons of the ancient saints found that they had lost a lot of military technology, so most of the ships were re-armed with civilian ships and used as naval vessels.

The mothership used as a mining ship is not the same as the traditional mining ship, because the traditional mining field is just mining, while the mothership directly turns a planet into a mineral deposit when there is no mineral grass.

The powerful energy is transmitted to the entire planet, and finally the materials on the entire planet produce a chain reaction and eventually become a nuclear fusion fuel. However, this kind of mineral has a big hidden danger, that is, it is easy to explode under the extremely strong high temperature just created. At this time, if someone throws a fire on it, then you can see the whole planet become a brilliant cosmic fireworks.

So after the first attack, the hive fleet soon ushered in the second attack. Although this time the attack was only the artillery bombardment of the Void Battleship and the Storm Battleship, the high-energy crystals attached to the surviving Zerg Hive Fleet caused another huge explosion.

Although this round of attack has successfully destroyed a large number of enemy warships, Zeratul is not happy at all. Because he can see that there are still a large number of narwhals gathered here in the distance, constantly transmitting terrible biological warships to this battlefield to make up for the losses just now, and continue to approach the mixed fleet in front of them.

They are powerful, but the enemy is endless.

Zeratul watched the pierced Zerg Hive Fleets quickly heal again, and his heart was already half cold. At this time, the communication channel that had been silent for a long time finally heard a panting voice

"Everyone, we need your help!"

After hearing that the voice was Vallat, Zeratul felt a little annoyed. This group of dwarves has not come to support until now, so why are they asking him for support?

"I'm sorry, we are now engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the Hive Fleet, and we can't spare you more warships!!"

"But we are also fighting with the Hive Fleet!!"

"What?!"

At this time, Zeratul looked back in panic after hearing this, and his heart instantly fell into an ice cave.

It turned out that they had been attacking only a small part of the Behemoth swarm. In fact, the entire Eight Peaks Star had been completely trapped in the Hive Fleet, just like a small reef standing in the river and about to be knocked down.

Now, no matter which direction of the three axis coordinates, the shadows of those insects are everywhere! The number of Behemoth swarms that swept across the southeast of the galaxy is estimated to be at least tens of thousands of biological warships. In the famous Battle of Macragge, these terrible warships quickly fell to the hometown of the Ultramarines, turned into terrible behemoths, and finally forced the Space Marines into the fortresses at the North and South Poles.

Zeratul knew that he was still a little too optimistic about the number of these swarms. These terrible biological warships could completely drown them with the advantage of the sea of ​​​​worms!

Zeratul understood that with such an absolute advantage in numbers, no matter how hard they fought, it would be futile. The best way now was to leave the encirclement before the Hive Fleet completely surrounded them and make other plans.

But it was difficult for them to break through the layers of encirclement with just their dozens of warships, so they had to find some help.

"Mr. Vallat, please forgive me for being blunt, but the number of the Tyranid fleet has greatly exceeded our expectations! We must retreat! We ask you to immediately evacuate the civilians on the planet and break out with us!"

After hearing this, Vallat, who was fighting bravely on the front line, had a sickly red face as if he had just drunk a whole barrel of mead.

"Don't even think about it!!! Eight Peaks is our home, if you want to escape, you can escape by yourself, you damn cowards!!!"

After hearing his answer, Zeratul gritted his teeth and sent several more communications, but all the dwarf lords scolded him back, especially Wotan, who directly threatened them that if they dared to run away, all their original words would not count.

But Zeratul couldn't care less. After all, he was 100% defeated in this situation. Saving his life was the most important thing. He quickly took his troops back to defend Aiur.

The dwarf fleet watched the golden fleet leave here quickly, and then ran back quickly.

Seeing this scene, Valrat asked in confusion

"Why are you back again?"

Zeratul just answered vaguely

"Nothing, I just don't want to see you die!"

Hearing this, the honest dwarf was actually a little moved for a moment, and felt a little guilty when he thought of what he had just said. It seems that this group of Protoss is not as he thought, as if he had wrongly blamed them.

But in fact, the mixed fleet was really planning to withdraw, but before they had gone far, the optical instrumentation officer brought a frustrating news, that is, most of the hive fleet had gathered at the entrance of the webway, and it was impossible to return by the original route. Now the only way is to go through

a former Eldar abandoned webway gate under the Eight Peaks Star, and find a way to reactivate this gate to withdraw everyone.

As for the warships? They can only be temporarily sealed here using the phase shield and time displacement system, and come back to pick them up when they have time in the future. The Protoss with primary time technology are not worried that the bugs will have a way to crack that terrible defense measure.

And even if these warships are really lost, it doesn't matter much. Anyway, automated production can wait for another 200 or even 100 years to create a fleet larger than this scale. As long as the war stimulates the production momentum of the entire empire, the army will have a steady supply.

Now under the terrible attack of the Tyranids, the defense line of the space dwarves has begun to collapse, and soon the brutal ground war will begin. At that time, there will be another tough battle waiting for the defenders of the Eight Peaks.
