Chapter 428 Seen Through!
"Is the gap in strength between the two sides so big?"
Looking at the Starry Zergs who regarded the autonomous turrets as a buffet, Chen Fan's face changed completely.
According to Queen Ophelia's description, the previous Xinaluo civilization barely won a tragic victory after paying a heavy price - it is not difficult to judge from this that fifty years ago, the alien life forms that invaded Xinaluo's mother planet were only at the level of a sixth-level civilization.
Although many of these autonomous turrets are defective products with lower power, the output power of all autonomous turrets still reaches the level of a sixth-level civilization.
In other words, if Ophelia is not wrong, the strength of the two sides should be equal.
At worst, the Starry Zerg may have a slight advantage. After all, the technological system of the Xinaluo civilization has been lost in large quantities, which will inevitably lead to a decline in combat power.
But now it seems that the strength of the two is not at the same level at all!
There is no doubt that
the problem must be with those Starry Zergs!
Without any hesitation, Chen Fan quickly connected the communication with the Xinaluo Palace: "Queen Ophelia, take a look, are these insects the same species as the alien life forms that invaded Xinaluo's home planet fifty years ago?"
In the holographic communication interface, Ophelia looked extremely solemn.
She frowned slightly, carefully identified them and nodded: "From the appearance, they are indeed the same species."
"But..."
Ophelia showed hesitation, and shook her head after pondering for a moment: "Their size is far greater than the alien life forms that invaded the home planet at that time."
"I remember that the largest alien life form at that time was only more than fifty meters, and the body length of most life forms was between thirty and forty meters."
Size!
Ophelia's words directly awakened Chen Fan.
The Zerg that invaded Xinaluo's home planet fifty years ago was only thirty or forty meters long; fifty years later, the average body length of these Zerg reached five hundred meters; and the Zerg mentioned by [Suzheng] was as big as a planet...
A terrifying guess slowly emerged in Chen Fan's mind.
"These bugs..."
He swallowed hard and said what he was thinking: "Are they just juveniles that have just started to grow?!"
As soon as he said this, everyone's faces changed a little.
"No, no..." Isa murmured in a low voice with a somewhat stiff expression, "If the juveniles are so powerful, then the adult ones..." "
The adult ones are probably the bugs that Su Zheng saw that are as big as gas giant planets." Chen Fan took over the conversation, "In terms of strength, it can be basically confirmed that they are definitely above the eighth-level civilization!"
"The most important thing now..."
Chen Fan's voice was a little hoarse: "Is there any adult Zerg in this universe?"
As soon as the voice fell, the atmosphere in the cockpit completely stagnated.
"Attention!" An electronic synthesized voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silence in the cockpit, "The Xinaluo Royal Fleet is approaching the first line of defense."
"The Royal Fleet?!"
Chen Fan's face changed slightly, and he asked anxiously: "Didn't they agree to be responsible for the second line of defense?!"
"Why are they near the first line of defense?!"
With Yi's reminder, he belatedly remembered the general attack order from Artesia.
If it were the situation fifty years ago, there would be no problem doing this.
But the opponent now...
is no longer the Starry Sky Zerg of fifty years ago! !
Once a head-on collision, it is estimated that this Royal Expedition Fleet will be the next buffet served to the Starry Sky Zerg!
"Damn it!!"
Chen Fan cursed in a low voice, and then quickly issued an order: "Notify Artesia and let them stop the combat operations immediately!"
Before the voice fell, in the holographic interface, those giant scorpions who were obsessed with "artillery string" had raised their heads and cast their eyes on the rapidly approaching Xinaluo Royal Fleet in the distance! !
They gently swung their scorpion tails behind them, accompanied by a little space-time fluctuation coming from their bodies. Their huge bodies were like sharp arrows, and they took the initiative to rush towards the Xinaluo fleet!
"It's too late!" In a flash, Chen Fan had made a decision. He quickly pressed a few holographic buttons on the console, and stretched out his hand to tightly grasp the joystick in front of him: "One, start the jump engine!" "Prepare for jump entry!" ... Xinaluo Royal Expedition Fleet, flagship. Fifty years ago, before the star zerg invaded, the Royal Expedition Fleet was responsible for extra-system surveys and scientific research tasks. It was not until the star zerg appeared and the Xinaluo mother planet was in danger that this fleet gave up writing and joined the army, and underwent large-scale transformation to become a war fleet. Because of this, the starships in the expedition fleet are not large in scale. Even the flagship is only at the level of 10,000 meters, which is completely incomparable to the super-large starships of the human alliance. Inside the flagship, the soldiers of Xinalo wearing combat armor sat nervously in their respective seats, and the screens in front of them flashed extremely complex real-time battlefield data. A faint soft light flickered in the spacious command room, and this was Artesia and some other fleet commanders issuing orders.
Artesia frowned, carefully looking at the screen of the giant scorpion attacking the autonomous turret.
The overwhelming combat power and unusually large size made Artesia feel a little uneasy.
She was born relatively late, so she did not personally experience the war fifty years ago - not only her, but most of the soldiers in the current expedition fleet have not personally experienced that guard war!
The many sequelae and long time brought by the war ruthlessly harvested the lives of most veterans.
Beside Artesia, Gurchi, wearing a brand new combat armor, operated the shipborne reconnaissance equipment in front of him with ease.
This job is similar to his previous job on the home planet, except that the reconnaissance target has changed from thieves who steal the light stone veins to alien life forms that invaded the Xinaluo civilization, that's all.
Not only is the nature of the work similar, but the operation methods of the shipborne detection equipment and the monitoring tower are very similar.
In addition, he had experience in confronting the Zerg head-on, so after joining the expedition fleet, he was transferred to this position as soon as possible.
[The enemy's coordinates have been locked!]
Gurchi looked at the rapidly flashing numbers on the screen in front of him with a serious face, and reported to Artesia who was standing not far away: [General, we can attack the enemy at any time!]
Before the voice fell, a violent flash of light lit up in the flagship command room.
[General, we have been discovered!] Gurchi's face changed drastically, and he said to Artesia in a hurry: [The alien life form is moving towards the fleet! ! ]
[Attack! ! ]
Artesia's eyes flashed, and she directly abandoned the last bit of hesitation and uneasiness in her heart, and issued an attack order to the fleet.
Boom boom boom! !
A series of white light beams that were several times thicker than the autonomous turrets flashed in the starry sky, accurately shooting at a giant scorpion in the front.
The giant scorpion did not choose to withstand the attack of the antimatter cannon, but swung its huge body, cleverly changed its direction, and easily avoided the first antimatter torrent.
The next second.
Hundreds of white beams of light shot from all directions, blocking all possible routes of the giant scorpion!
Faced with such an offensive, the giant scorpion showed no sign of retreating. It opened its huge mouthparts and let out a silent hiss. The dark purple shield around its body suddenly became brighter.
It sped up its movements and directly met the antimatter cannon released by the Xinaluo flagship!
No damage at all!!
Under the comprehensive protection of the dark purple shield, the antimatter torrent could not touch the giant scorpion's body at all, and naturally could not cause any damage.
Even the giant scorpion opened its mouthparts, ready to repeat the old trick to swallow the gluttonous feast in its mouth.
Inside the Xinaluo flagship, watching the actions of the leading giant scorpion, Artesia in the battle armor raised her mouth slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
I've been fooled.
[Now! ]
Artesia gave a stern order: [Release the air blade! ! 】
Accompanied by a strong space wave rippling around the flagship, a constantly twisting fine black mark appeared in front of the flagship.
Swish!!
The black mark shot forward and slashed at the giant scorpion in the lead along the path of the antimatter torrent!
Space rift!!
This is the strongest weapon inherited from the era of Xinaluo's mother star.
So far, the entire Xinaluo civilization, only the starships of the Xinaluo Royal Expedition Fleet are equipped with this weapon!
Naturally, this is also the confidence of Artesia to dare to issue an attack order!!
The deep space rift rushed through the starry sky, and under the cover of a large number of antimatter naval guns, it was almost impossible to observe with the naked eye.
Seeing that the empty blade was about to hit the target, Artesia inside the flagship subconsciously held her breath.
Can it... succeed? !
The answer is naturally no.
Under Artesia's gaze, the slender scorpion tail that had been surrounding the giant scorpion gently swung at an angle and happened to be horizontal in front of the space rift.
At the same time, a deep black light lit up on the surface of the scorpion tail.
Before Artesia could react, the air blade had already hit the scorpion tail that was flashing with black light.
Like a drop in the ocean, the slender space crack instantly disappeared in front of everyone.
At the same time, the leading giant scorpion slowly lowered its scorpion tail, and its two pairs of small eyes glowing with scarlet light looked at the distant Xinaluo flagship.
Artesia saw a strong sense of ridicule in the other party's eyes.
Seen through.
The plan to use antimatter naval guns to cover the air blade's attack was completely seen through by the other party! !
These insects are extremely intelligent! !
Before Artesia could react, the leading giant scorpion had already accelerated and suddenly pounced on one of the Xinaluo warships.
The eight pairs of abdominal feet firmly grasped the flat Xinaluo warship. With a sour creaking sound and the suddenly dim shield light, the sharp feet directly pierced the armor layer of the warship!
Then.
It raised its long scorpion tail and smashed it hard at the warship fixed by the abdominal feet!
Boom!
In the dim starry sky, a bright fireball suddenly rose up! ! !
