Chapter 426: Xinaluo Royal Expedition
Fleet Boom!
The flames of the explosion suddenly bloomed under the red starry sky.
The micro-missiles and laser weapons equipped with the battle armor drew beautiful arcs in the air, and finally slammed into the "greedy" giant insect.
Yes, greedy.
Gurchi could only think of this word to describe the giant insect that fell from the sky.
Even though the scorching laser beams and micro-missiles hit the giant insect hard, the giant insect did not put down the half-high tower in its mouthparts, and even accelerated the swallowing action!
Of course, the most fundamental reason may be that the weapons equipped with the battle armor are too weak-neither kinetic weapons nor energy weapons can cause large-scale damage to the hard armor on the surface of the giant insect.
"We failed to break the enemy's armor"
Although the weapons carried by the battle armor are low-end weapons that should have been eliminated long ago, Gurchi and Gesen were still shocked by the scene in front of them.
Whether it was the high-energy laser weapons with astonishing temperatures or the micro-missiles filled with high explosives, which one could a normal creature withstand with its flesh?
Not to mention creatures, the ammunition that had been poured out in the past few minutes was enough to blow some smaller asteroids into cosmic dust!
But...
it didn't cause any damage to the giant insect! !
Oh, no.
Strictly speaking, their attack was still somewhat effective - the shiny armor on the back of the giant insect had a slight damage, probably equivalent to the degree of a car paint being scratched!
Time passed by bit by bit.
Amidst the continuous shrill creaking sounds, the half tower made of high-strength composite materials was completely immersed in the body of the giant insect.
Then, under the horrified gaze of Gurchi and Gerson, the slight damage to the armor on the surface of the giant insect was repaired at an extremely fast speed.
This was not the most critical thing.
The most crucial point is that if Gurchi is not mistaken, compared with the previous one, the surface of the armor that the giant worm has regrown seems to be shining with the luster of the monitoring tower - in just a few minutes, the giant worm has turned the tower it has eaten into its own use! !
After eating half of the tower, the giant worm finally noticed the two "ants" that kept attacking it.
[Gerson...]
The moment he met the giant worm's scarlet eyes, Gurchi, who was in the battle armor, suddenly felt a strong chill rising from his back. He swallowed hard and tried to say something: [How about we...]
The voice has not fallen yet.
The giant worm let out a shrill hissing sound, and driven by the eight pairs of abdominal feet under it, it suddenly rushed forward and pounced in the direction of Gurchi and Gurchi!
At the same time, the giant worm's claws in front of it and the tail wrapped in spikes also roared and smashed towards the two tall battle armors! !
In the flashes of warning light, the light of the shield system lit up around the battle armor.
Gurchi did not think much, and almost instinctively controlled the battle armor to raise its two mechanical arms, firmly protecting the heavy visor at the head of the armor.
Bang!!!
With two dull collision sounds coming from the front and the back, a strong sense of impact came from the battle armor under him. Gurchi only felt a tightness in his chest and lost consciousness instantly!!
After an unknown amount of time, Gurchi gradually regained consciousness in a sour creaking sound.
Various warning lights popped up on the control interface of the battle armor.
The shield system is down; the transmission system is down; the energy system is down...
Just a glance, this latest model of battle armor is on the verge of being scrapped!
The most thrilling thing is the tearing scratch with a faint arc flashing on the chest of the armor below the visor - if this scratch is a little higher, Gurchi, who is behind the visor, will be completely pulled out of the cockpit of the battle armor!
"Squeak...squeak..."
The sour chewing sound continued. Gurchi took two deep breaths and looked in the direction of the sound despite the strong discomfort in his body.
He held his breath at just one glance!
More than half of Gesen's battle armor had entered the giant insect's dark purple sharp mouthparts!
Under the chewing of the giant insect, the solid battle armor was like waste entering a crusher, and quickly turned into countless debris of different shapes! !
Gurchi's pupils quickly dilated, and extremely deep fear gushed out from the depths of his eyes. Then, he used his long-degraded vocal cords to make a shrill roar without real meaning.
From this moment on, for the first time, he felt a strong fear of the deep, mysterious starry sky above his head.
...
Outside the palace wall.
The starry sky, the giant insect, the fight...
Scenes flashed through Gurchi's mind quickly, and finally, the picture stopped on the dark purple mouthparts chewing up and down.
The afterimage slowly dissipated, perfectly overlapping with the deep sky above his head, as if... the entire starry sky had become the giant insect's huge mouth that kept opening and closing! !
Gurchi's body trembled violently, and in just a few seconds, he felt a thin layer of cold sweat seeping out of his back.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
The sound of the heartbeat passed through his chest and bones and entered his degenerated ears.
He gasped rapidly, subconsciously trying to divert his gaze.
But the next second.
He clenched his teeth hard, forcing himself to look directly at this seemingly ordinary starry sky!
Traces of blood appeared at the roots of Gurchi's teeth, and his expression became ferocious.
Not only Gurchi, facing the sudden appearance of the starry sky, quite a few Xinalo people showed varying degrees of fear and horror.
But...
More importantly, the Xinaro people were getting more and more excited and determined to take back their home planet!
[Counterattack the home planet!]
[Long live the queen! Take back our homeland! !]
[……]
They controlled the old mechanical armor under them, raised their mechanical arms high, and issued silent shouts.
The originally quiet imperial city became completely noisy at this moment.
Feeling the soft fluorescence coming from his side, the fear and horror in Gurchi's eyes gradually dissipated, and his body, which had been shaking constantly, also returned to its former calmness.
The disordered fluorescence on his body surface quickly stabilized and merged into the faint fluorescence emitted by his companions around him.
Like his fellow tribesmen, he raised his arms high and issued a silent shout to General Artesia standing on the top of the city wall:
[Counterattack...]
[Counterattack! Counterattack!!]
...
One day later.
The edge of the Xinaluo star system.
The khaki starship sailed out of the star system and finally hovered in the crowded starry sky.
In the cockpit, Chen Fan looked solemnly at the boundless starry sky outside the porthole.
Around the investigator starship, there were densely packed defensive turrets that the Xinaluo civilization had spent decades to build!
According to Queen Ophelia's request, they will be the first line of defense against the starry sky Zerg!
Behind this defense array built by countless automatic turrets, driven by antimatter engines, a series of flat-shaped old starships slowly sailed out from the depths of the Xinaluo star system.
This is the last fighting force of the Xinaluo civilization.
The Xinaluo Royal Expedition Fleet was built during the Xinaluo mother star period, and eventually followed the Xinaluo civilization to leave their homes and come to this remote star system.
Perhaps because of the long journey, or perhaps because of the silence in the starry sky for more than 40 years, these warships are covered with a thin layer of interstellar dust, and the warships themselves look very old. Chen Fan can even see some traces of war on the surface of some warships.
They are the second line of defense against the starry sky Zerg.
Yes, at Ophelia's repeated requests, Chen Fan and the investigator starship became the third and last line of defense of the Xinaluo civilization!
[We have lived in this star system for forty years. Now, the Xinaluo civilization needs a war to adapt to this cruel universe as soon as possible.]
Ophelia said: [This is good for the subsequent Xinaluo expedition plan, and at the same time, it is also good for the investigation plan of the Star Envoy.]
After consulting Wang Jing, Chen Fan agreed to this proposal that was bound to cause sacrifice.
The reason is very simple.
On the one hand.
As Ophelia said, whether it is the expedition that the Xinaluo civilization is about to launch or the investigation work that the Human Union is about to conduct on the Xinaluo mother planet, it does not need a cowardly race that can only live on the planet!
On the other hand.
Chen Fan carefully inquired about the situation of the mother planet defense war fifty years ago, and found that the alien life form described by Ophelia was quite different from the starry sky Zerg in his cognition.
Although the two have the same appearance, their strength is very different!
The former, although they have a strong body and the ability to cross the starry sky, will still be severely damaged when facing powerful ship-borne antimatter weapons and space weapons.
And the latter...
even [Suzheng] is not their opponent.
Such a huge difference is definitely not normal.
For the next expedition and investigation, and to ensure victory in the future war, Chen Fan really needs a lot of information about the star bugs.
So...
the two lines of defense of the Xinaluo civilization became the best touchstone - they can test the true strength of these alien life forms for Chen Fan!
Of course.
Having said that, Chen Fan is still ready to help at any time.
"Attention!"
Yi's electronic synthesis sounded in the cockpit, interrupting Chen Fan's somewhat divergent thoughts: "High-intensity space-time field fluctuations are detected, and the target will arrive near the Xinaluo star system in thirty seconds."
"The precise coordinates have been predicted."
As the voice fell, a huge red dot that was slowly flashing appeared on the holographic star map above the main console!
Chen Fan's expression condensed, and he quickly reached out and operated in the holographic interface.
"This is the Varela."
"General Artesia, the enemy's landing coordinates have been determined."
As he said, he transmitted the calculated coordinates to Artesia in the Royal Expedition Fleet.
[Star Envoy, thank you for your help. 】
Artesia's response quickly appeared in front of Chen Fan. At the same time, the endless artillery batteries arranged in the starry sky turned around and aimed their black muzzles at a small area in the boundless starry sky.
[Next, let's leave it to the Xinaluo Royal Expedition Fleet! ]
Artesia was full of confidence: [All autonomous artillery batteries, start charging! ]
