Nuclear bomb?

Su Ziyu's expression gradually became solemn.

He didn't expect the Empire's army to use nuclear weapons so quickly, and what was even more surprising was that the nuclear weapons did not destroy the huge God Warrior. In this crystal wall system, there were only so many super-giant combat units that could withstand nuclear bombs, the Zerg's Leviathan (biological warship), the human Titan-class warship, and the Orc's WARBOSS warship. He didn't expect that the God Warrior in front of him could actually withstand it.

The signal is interrupted.

He couldn't observe the situation on the battlefield now, but there was no doubt that the pressure on the imperial army was probably very great at the moment.

Ordinary people will have a certain degree of misjudgment about the power of nuclear weapons, but as someone who has played with small and medium-sized nuclear bombs many times, Su Ziyu has a general understanding of the power of nuclear weapons.

Are nuclear weapons very lethal?

Without a doubt.

Very big.

However, nuclear weapons also have some major flaws, that is, they need to be launched and detonated, and they are three-dimensional strikes. Conventional small and medium-yield nuclear weapons will produce a fireball with a diameter of about one kilometer when they explode. This is the most powerful part. It can be said that within this range, Suzi fish are unlikely to survive. Without a super strong protective barrier in this area, it is almost certain to die. However, outside this range, the power of nuclear weapons begins to drop significantly, at least for the life of the legendary level, it is bearable.

When a nuclear explosion occurs, in addition to the huge explosion in the central area, a shock wave of 1 to 2 kilometers will be generated. The shock wave within this range plus the thermal radiation will almost certainly kill ordinary people. However, if equipped with advanced exoskeleton armor and with appropriate shelter, the probability of death is about half, and radiation damage is inevitable.

The further outward, the decay rate of the shock wave and thermal radiation will increase significantly, because the energy of the nuclear bomb is released in three dimensions. It is a huge range attack, and the further out, the weaker the lethality.

If you want to significantly increase the power of a nuclear bomb, you must rely on a huge equivalent.

In fact, in the interstellar era, nuclear bombs are not used very frequently, because the side effects of using nuclear bombs are very large, and the interstellar era pursues more penetrating point damage, causing huge damage at a small point. The power of nuclear bombs is not much higher than that of light energy electromagnetic weapons. Many energy weapons gather huge amounts of energy at a certain point, which can also cause a big explosion. If the heat gun of the dreadnought mecha is turned to maximum power, it can also cause a range explosion of about half a kilometer in diameter.

Sizzle.

Just as Su Ziyu was hesitating whether he should take action, the holographic projection image appeared again.

At this time, the Giant God Soldier in the distance had already rushed to the defense line of the Imperial Army. There was some damage to its body, but it was not caused by a nuclear bomb, but by another silver-gray behemoth.

Titan mecha.

The ancient lost empire has developed about a dozen different types of Titan mechas, whose main target is super-large ground war machines.

Compared to the giant God soldier that looks like a mountain, the Empire's Titan mecha is much smaller, but it is faster, more flexible, and equipped with a variety of weapons, from kinetic weapons to energy weapons to various missiles. However, its flaws are also obvious, that is, the Titan mecha has only a relatively weak psionic field shield, while the giant God soldier is covered with an extremely powerful WAAAGH force field. This force field has been weakened a lot when it was attacked by a nuclear bomb, but it can still block a lot of long-range damage.

The light curtain that protected the imperial army has been shattered.

Queen Isabella thought that the Empire's defense line could stop the enemy's offensive, but in fact it couldn't. After the light curtain was broken by the super energy beam of the Giant God Soldier, the vast orc army almost immediately rushed into the defense line.

Part of the command system was directly paralyzed, and the defensive formation composed of armored troops was simply unable to stop so many orc war chiefs.

This time, there were more orc leaders appearing on the battlefield.

The degree of their modification is higher than that of the orcs that appeared before. A small number of orc leaders even have a large number of mechanical prostheses implanted, which is almost equivalent to half a mechanical creature. Even if other orc leaders do not have mechanical prostheses installed, the exoskeleton armor on their bodies almost wraps up the whole person. From a distance, they look like a lump of iron like a mountain of flesh.

These are all legendary psychic warriors who can tear apart tanks with their bare hands.

Yes.

The strength of an orc chieftain is roughly close to that of a legendary warrior, plus a level 6-7 psychic. They possess terrifying physical defense, tough energy protection field, abnormal regeneration ability, and a wide-range WAAAGH resonance field, which is equivalent to a large-scale blessing BUFF.

And the ratio of such orc chiefs is about 10,000 to 1, so there must be a war chief among 10,000 enemy troops.

"In the interstellar age, only elite combat units can decide victory or defeat." Su Ziyu shook his head and sighed.

According to historical records, the ancient lost empire did not send out large numbers of troops when fighting on planets. They simply dispatched Space Marines, who descended from orbit in small regiments to decapitate the target's command center, capital, or military fortress. It would usually take no more than a day to capture a planet, and only after the opponent's main force was destroyed would they send out the Astra Militarum for subsequent occupation.

it is a pity.

Now the main force of the Empire is the Astra Militarum, which means that they only have the ability to clean up the battlefield and are not at the same level as the main force of the Orks.

It's impossible to stop it.

The light exoskeleton armor equipped by the Astra Militarum had no ability to engage in head-on combat with the Orc chieftains. They could only deal with those Orc boys. As long as any Orc chieftain rushed into the Astra Militarum's defense line, neither the heavy armored forces nor the Astra Militarum elite could stop him. The mobility of the armored forces made them living targets for them.

Queen Isabella.

There was a depressing atmosphere in the command room. With the sound of alarms, a man dressed as a general stood up and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty."

"The right wing has been breached."

“There was also a lot of pressure on the left wing.”

"The enemy's vanguard is already within a hundred kilometers of the capital."

The physical fitness of orcs is quite terrifying. They can fight almost all day and all night. However, unless humans have undergone genetic and mechanical modification, the physical fitness of regular Astra Militarum troops cannot be maintained at peak condition after only one or two hours of high-intensity combat.

Above the combat command room, Queen Isabella's beautiful face was filled with solemnity. She stared at the fleet of warships in the sky. After pondering for a moment, she said in a serious tone, "Let the Knights attack."

"The knights from other places will descend directly on the track."

"Their target is the Imperial Capital!"

The orcs had obviously discovered the capital of the empire. The place that was attacked the most severely on the entire front line was the capital, which was also the area where she was.

"Yes!" The middle-aged general saluted and turned to leave.

Next second.

A series of frequency-synchronized reports rang out in the command room.

"The Mechanical Knights are on standby."

"The Blood Raven Knights are on standby."

"The Royal Guards are on standby."

Queen Isabella silently watched the battlefield. She turned around and glanced at the guard beside her, a woman wearing blood-red interstellar armor. Then she whispered, "Let the Blood Angels regiment stand by as well."

"I have a hunch."

"The enemy's real attack is about to begin."

Inside the Golden Palace, some changes appeared on the holographic projection in front of Su Ziyu. While the orc leader was rampaging on the battlefield, streaks of light suddenly streaked across the sky in the distance, and then some warriors equipped with interstellar armor appeared on the battlefield from behind.

Compared to the bulky exoskeleton armor, the armor of these Space Marines is more body-hugging, and the weapons they wield are also very special, some are equipped with light blades for close combat, while others are equipped with various powerful energy guns.

But not all interstellar armor is designed in this way. The first to confront the orc leader head-on on the battlefield was another knight regiment. Their interstellar armor was extremely wild, all of which were super-heavy armor with external psionic protection fields. Although they did not use light blades, they used some powerful kinetic weapons and some strange guns and cannons that could be assembled actively.

Mechanical Knights.

These were all recruited elite members of the Mechanicum. Su Ziyu had experienced their methods and their strengths were basically legendary. More than half of them were semi-mechanical life forms, with their limbs and bodies transformed to a certain extent into ancient mechanical prostheses, a very tough active metal with self-repairing ability. Their eyes were ancient mechanical eyes, and their important internal organs were all artificial organs. Their dynamic visual ability had almost reached the limit of what the human brain could use.

There are two promotion paths in the Imperial Knights.

But the disadvantages are also obvious. They can only use psionic field belts and cannot cast any psychic spells themselves.

Boom boom boom!

Streams of light from the sky fell onto the battlefield.

Tracks coming down.

The Imperial Knights' support troops have arrived at the battlefield!

Sizzle.

Along with the sound of the gates opening, agile figures flew out, either flying at low altitude or teleporting, ignoring the orc boys around them and rushing towards the war leaders.

——"Mind is in chaos!"

——"Mind connection!"

An invisible psychic energy wave erupted, and the charging orc army instantly fell into widespread chaos. Some orcs directly started firing wildly with their large cannons, and some orcs had red eyes and slashed at each other madly. It was obvious that their minds had been disturbed by the outside world.

--"gravity!"

--"paralysis!"

——"Blinding Pulse!"

——"Dizzy Pulse!"

——"Lightning Storm!"

Under the interference of psychic energy, the gravity on the battlefield was distorted to a certain extent, and some orcs were frozen in place. Then a large amount of electric current gathered into lightning bursts, directly attacking indiscriminately any targets within a hundred meters.

All those who are qualified to undergo advanced genetic modification in the empire are psykers above level six, and mind warping is basically a compulsory course for them.

The imperial defense line, which had been close to collapse, held on once again.

Compared to the bulky dreadnoughts, the Empire's Knights possess unparalleled maneuverability. Rocket flight thrusters are simply incomparable to mind warping, and the light blades activated by psychic energy can easily penetrate the orcs' WAAAGH force field. Even the orcs' Slayer mechs can be cut in half by the light blades.

"Where is their main force?" Su Ziyu frowned as he looked at the holographic projection in front of him.

The troops sent out by the orcs now are very strong.

However, Su Ziyu did not see the enemy's main fleet, and most importantly, WARBOSS did not appear either.

This doesn't make sense!

"Something's wrong!" Su Ziyu's intuition told him that he seemed to have overlooked something.

Next second.

Su Ziyu was teleported directly into the Mind Synchrony Center, and then he sat on the chair suspended in the center of the Mind Synchrony Center. An enormous amount of spiritual energy poured out like running water, spreading in all directions, and in an instant it had covered more than half of the planet.

“Oh no!”

Some images appeared in Su Ziyu's telepathy, and then another tragic battlefield emerged in his mind.

In the sky.

A creature that is more than fifty kilometers long and looks like a giant whale is rampaging. It is surrounded by densely packed orc fighter planes. Thousands of Far Eastern artillery fire are covering its body. The continuous explosions are constantly weakening the psychic protective field covering its body surface.

This psychic energy fluctuation seemed somewhat familiar to Su Ziyu.

As if I had fought with it before.

With the naked eye, tens of thousands of flying dragons can be seen pouring out of the body of that huge monster frantically. On the outskirts of the battlefield, countless flying dragons are rushing towards the orcs' warships and fighter planes like dark clouds. They spew acid and use their bodies to ram and bite the enemy. In the blood that is spilled all over the sky, they are not afraid to die together with the enemy. The brutal battle leaves the ground littered with the corpses of orcs and alien insects. At the same time, in addition to the swarms of insect dragons, there are also many wild alien insects on the battlefield. They seem to be summoned and controlled, and are constantly pouring towards here.

The main force of the orcs is actually here!

Their primary target of attack was not the imperial army, but the Zerg nest entrenched in another continent.

——"Leviathan [Super Giant Living Battleship] [Zerg Nest] [Tyranid Evolution (Unfinished)] [Level 10 Psionic Unit]!"

The swarms of insects in the sky engaged in a melee with the orcs.

Leviathan's huge body made it bear too much firepower coverage. Its own psychic shield could no longer resist. With violent explosions, Leviathan's body suddenly fell hundreds of meters. Pits of flesh and blood appeared on its broad back. With angry wail, Leviathan crashed directly into the orc fleet in front. Its huge body rushed forward at an astonishing speed, as if another psychic energy was being injected into its body. The originally broken psychic field gathered again and instantly tore open a bloody path. Amid the successive explosions, Leviathan rushed out.

Buzz buzz buzz.

Countless alien insects spewed out from its two side cavities like a swarm of bees. They formed a dark cloud with a diameter of tens of kilometers. When they came into contact with the orcs' warships and fighter planes, violent explosions immediately sounded.

"Help……"

One after another, the orc steel warships chased after them. A ray of light seemed to appear in the sky, and then the gravity magnetic field around Leviathan was distorted. The next second, a powerful energy beam fell from the sky and directly penetrated the right side of Leviathan's body, forming a bottomless flesh and blood hole with a diameter of nearly ten meters.

In Su Ziyu's mind, a weak telepathic message sounded again:

“Help us…”
