Chapter 429 Never retreat!
One, two, three...
At the moment when the brilliant fireballs rose slowly, five giant scorpions rushed forward and rushed into the neatly-formed Xinaluo fleet at the same time.
They quickly selected their respective targets - five Xinaluo small frigates at the outermost edge of the fleet.
Even though the surrounding warships poured all their ammunition on these giant scorpions, they still could not stop their forward momentum.
In just a few seconds, these giant scorpions rushed to the side of these small frigates in a wave of space fluctuations.
Like the giant scorpion that led the battle, they jumped up and hugged the Xinaluo warships at the outermost edge of the fleet with their strong and hard abdomens, and then smashed these warships with their scorpion tails covered with barbs.
Boom! Boom! Boom!! !
Before the first ball of fire dissipated, five new balls of fire rose slowly outside the Xinaluo fleet!
What was even more desperate was that these giant scorpions did not covet the food that was in their mouths as before.
At the silent hiss of the leading giant scorpion, the giant scorpions loosened their ventral feet, used the impact of the warship explosion as a springboard, and rushed straight to the nearest Xinaluo warships.
Then, there was a series of identical attack behaviors - the ventral feet fixed the warships, and the scorpion tail smashed the warships.
Relying on the dark purple shield and its own hard armor, this extremely simple attack behavior became a horn of death!
So far, no Xinaluo warship can escape this simple three-axe operation!
Just a face-to-face, the formation that the Xinaluo fleet had maintained before was in chaos.
What antimatter naval guns coordinated cover, what warships coordinated attack...
At the moment when the giant scorpion jumped into the face, the combat order issued by Artesia before was completely useless.
Chaos!!
The light of the antimatter naval guns was wantonly swayed in the starry sky, and the slender and deep air blades also whistled and shot towards the nearest giant scorpion, even though they could not cause any damage to the thick-skinned giant scorpion!
…
Xina Luo Royal Expedition Fleet, flagship command center.
I don’t know when it started, the chaotic fluorescent light that originally filled the entire command center and flickered continuously has turned into a dim and steady light.
Gurchi’s face was pale, and his body was shaking as he looked at the rapidly decreasing string of numbers on the screen in front of him - these were the coordinate parameters of each alien life form.
In just a few tens of seconds, dozens of giant scorpions had all rushed into the interior of the Xina Luo fleet!
"Beep - beep - beep -"
a series of dull warning sounds echoed in the command center, and each sound meant that a Xina Luo warship had lost the communication link with the flagship.
Artesia stood in the center of the command room, staring blankly at the dozens of bright yellow fireballs with a little red on the screen, and the dim light on the surface was also flickering slightly.
The gap in strength between the two sides... is too big! !
Is this really the alien life form that invaded Xina Luo's mother planet? !
[General! Retreat! 】
Several deputy generals shouted anxiously beside her: [If this continues, the Xinaluo Royal Expedition Fleet may have to...]
At the same time, a communication message from Chen Fan also popped up in front of Artesia.
[This is the Varela, Artesia, stop the combat mission immediately and retreat to a safe area! ]
Not only the deputy general, but even the Star Envoy asked her to retreat...
But...
should she really retreat?
Artesia couldn't help but flash a trace of confusion and unwillingness in her eyes.
Just a face-to-face encounter, is this expedition fleet that holds all the hopes of the Xinaluo civilization going to retreat in disgrace?
If they really do this...
will the Xinaluo civilization still have the courage to leave this star system?
Counterattack the mother planet... is there really a chance to achieve it?
She gritted her teeth, and a little struggle appeared in her eyes.
[General Artesia! Can't retreat!!! ]
Suddenly, a dazzling fluorescent light came from the side, attracting the attention of Artesia and several deputy generals.
A combat armor stood up from his seat. Under everyone's gaze, the heavy visor slowly rose, revealing Gurchi, who was pale and trembling slightly.
[General Artesia.]
The fluorescence on the surface of Gurchi's body trembled irregularly, revealing his inner panic without any cover, but he still narrated as calmly as possible: [Fifty years ago, the soldiers who participated in the war to defend the mother planet knew that once they showed the idea of running away and retreating in front of these bugs, there was only one way waiting for you, death.]
[They will attack your back without hesitation, and even create various obstacles to prevent your retreat.]
[In the battle to defend the mother planet, only soldiers who charge forward have a glimmer of hope of survival.]
Gurchi closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath: [Besides, we have no way to retreat. Behind us is Xinaluo Star. If a bug takes the opportunity to go to Xinaluo Star, the consequences...]
Artesia trembled slightly, and she could even imagine the scene of the devastation in her mind! !
Beside him, a young deputy general tried to refute Gurchi's words: [The Star Envoy is here...]
[What if the Star Envoy makes a mistake!] Gurchi glared at the deputy general with burning eyes and shouted, [Do you dare to gamble with the lives of all the Xinalo people and the life of Her Majesty the Queen?!]
The deputy general was speechless.
He didn't dare.
Not to mention him, even Artesia couldn't bear this responsibility.
[What's more, is it really okay to leave all the tasks of resisting the invasion to the Star Envoy?] Gurchi looked straight at Artesia and expressed the concerns that Artesia had always had in her heart, [Will the Xinalo civilization that survived under such protection still be the Xinalo civilization?]
[Do our descendants still have the courage to face this starry sky?!]
Gurchi took a deep breath again, and the trembling fluorescence on his body gradually stabilized: [General, please give me a small warship, I am willing to intercept these alien life forms!]
As soon as these words came out, the command center fell silent again.
[I understand.]
Artesia exhaled a long breath, and the fluorescence around her gradually stabilized: [Unless all the alien life forms are dead, otherwise...]
[The Xinalo Royal Expedition Fleet will never retreat!]
[Notify the fleet to adjust the formation and concentrate all firepower on the leading insect! 】
Artesia's expression was somewhat ferocious: [Tell everyone, even if you use warships to ram them, you must stop these bugs outside the Xinaluo star system!!!]
[In addition...]
[The flagship enters the field!!]
...
Frontal battlefield.
A strong space-time fluctuation was heard around the Xinaluo flagship that retreated to the rear of the fleet - at this point, the alien lifeforms have discovered the Xinaluo civilization, and it is meaningless to cover up the curvature engine!
Surrounded and protected by a group of warships, the huge Xinaluo flagship flexibly rushed towards the extremely large giant scorpion on the front battlefield! !
At the same time, orders were issued from the flagship to the Xinaluo warships.
The participation of the flagship obviously injected a dose of adrenaline into the chaotic fleet. The Xinaluo fleet, which was originally like a pile of loose sand and fighting separately, struggled to integrate a new fleet formation around the huge flagship.
These warships firmly guarded the flagship, and under the leadership of the flagship, they rushed towards the giant scorpion that had long been locked by Gurchi! !
To capture the thief, first capture the leader! !
Facing the oncoming huge fleet, the leading giant scorpion did not hesitate at all. It opened its sharp mouthparts and let out a silent hiss. The giant scorpions scattered around tried to use the same trick again, trying to attack the small warships from the side of the fleet, thereby hindering the fleet's momentum to charge forward.
But...
before the giant scorpion got close, the small warships selected as the attack targets took the initiative to break away from the fleet formation and went straight to the giant scorpion that opened its abdomen to try to fix itself!
For the "food" that was delivered to the door, a trace of confusion flashed in the giant scorpion's scarlet eyes, but it still subconsciously hooked its abdomen, and the long scorpion tail also rose up, trying to accumulate power and then make a fatal blow.
The next second, a message came from this small warship, drifting towards the surrounding Xinaluo fleet and the Xinaluo star system behind.
[Recapture the mother planet! ]
[Xinaluo fleet, never retreat! ! ! ]
Boom! ! !
Before the giant scorpion could react, an extremely violent explosion suddenly exploded in its abdomen! !
This small warship took the initiative to release all the antimatter in the warship! !
The huge energy generated by the annihilation of positive and antimatter, almost without any waste, all hit the abdomen of the giant scorpion! !
Even with the dual protection of armor and shields, such a large explosion still caused considerable damage to it!
A trace of pain flashed in the giant scorpion's scarlet eyes, and a silent hissing sound came from its open and ferocious mouth!
Its body twitched violently, like a centipede being poured with boiling water, and it quickly curled up into a ball.
Such scenes occurred in every corner of the fleet.
Faced with the obstruction and attack of the giant scorpion, all the small warships chose the same way of fighting - even if they had to collide, they had to win a chance for the Xinaluo flagship to counterattack! !
At this moment, the Xinaluo fleet even completely abandoned defense! !
Long and thin space cracks appeared in front of the fleet, shooting at the leading giant scorpion at a very high speed!
Faced with such a fearless fighting style, the giant scorpion that was chosen as the target finally showed its timidity.
A strong space-time fluctuation flashed around its body, trying to escape from this troubled place.
[Quick!]
Inside the Xinaluo flagship, Artesia looked at the gradually increasing space-time fluctuations around the giant scorpion and clenched her fists: [Faster, faster! ! ]
But...
the situation did not seem to develop as Artesia expected.
Before the attack from the Xinaluo fleet arrived, the giant scorpion's figure suddenly became illusory!
It successfully entered the superluminal curvature state and disappeared in the visible universe! !
