Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 316 Zerg boarding battle

There are many types of Zerg, such as the Zerg with the largest number, which directly break into the spacecraft and cause damage, which are called assault type Zerg.

The Assault Zerg is a highly mobile Zerg Scourge with powerful scythes and teeth that can move quickly through a vacuum and attack enemies.

Common Strike Bugs include Mantis Bugs and Lightning Bugs, which are usually the same types of bugs found in Zerg Motherships.

Mantis bugs, also called sickle bugs, are the main combat unit of the Zerg race in space warfare.

It looks like a mantis on Earth, with a three-section body and strong forelimbs that can attack and defend flexibly.

It is about 1.5 meters in length, and its body color is usually green or brown. It has natural camouflage ability and can blend in with the surrounding environment, but this camouflage ability will fail in a vacuum.

The nano-sickle and tooth-like jaws in the hand are very sharp, which can easily penetrate the armor of enemy warships and cause heavy damage.

On one of the Field fleets being pursued, the Zerg targets on the radar had been completely connected to each other at this moment, completely losing any effect.

"Reporting to the commander, the number of Zerg has dropped to a level that we can handle. Please fight back!"

In the bridge, the deputy said to the captain.

Looking at his excited look, some people thought that after winning this war, they would win.

The portion of the zerg that pursued them had indeed been reduced to a number they could understand.

But this does not mean that the overall number of Zerg has declined.

Even the planet is still continuously being emitted from it.

In this case, even if we turn around and eliminate this group of Zerg, what will happen?

However, soon, without waiting for the captain to think for long, the situation here was seen from above.

This part of the fleet faced the smallest number of Zerg, requiring them to fight back immediately.

The superior has already spoken, and the captain has no reason not to listen, so he can only bite the bullet and let the whole ship turn around to respond.

The first wave of lightning bugs came up first. They looked similar to mantis bugs and had faster movement speed. They were suitable as the first vanguard troops to break into the defensive firepower of battleships.

From a distance, you can't tell how fast these bugs are, but the closer the distance is, the more people inside can feel how abnormal the other party's movement speed is.

They can move very fast in the universe at a speed visible to the naked eye. The universe doesn't look very far away, but in fact the two sides are tens of millions of kilometers apart.

When the lightning bed was far away, everyone could already feel his speed, and after he got close to the hull, the speed became even more dazzling.

It's not so much a bug flying in front of them as it is a galloping missile flying over.

The Guardian point defense system and heavy anti-aircraft guns on the battleship can kill the Zerg like a point-detonation missile, but the gamma laser launcher and giga-level cannon on the battleship are all scrapped.

There are constantly Zerg being detonated by the air defense force on the battleship, and new Zerg are constantly filling in and landing on the battleship.

Although the main guns of the battleships were still firing at the sea of ​​insects, they were only attacking the bugs in the distance. The bugs were already lying on the armor, and most of the battleships were powerless.

The lightning bugs that broke through the defense began to attack the surface of the battleship with the sharp scythe in their hands, and released acidic substances to destroy and corrode the battleship's armor.

Not long after, under the damaged armor, it found a pipe on the battleship that was not completely sealed. This pipe led directly to various parts of the battleship.

Just when he wanted to go in, the heavy anti-aircraft gun next to him immediately turned its gun.The next moment, the lightning bug was torn into several parts, the fragments flew everywhere, and blood sprayed out.

The limbs of the Zerg were dancing around, leaving blurry shadows in the space.

However, no matter how the heavy anti-aircraft guns continued to fire out dazzling fireworks, no matter how they created a large hole in the sea of ​​insects.

A steady stream of Zerg has also begun to officially land on this crumbling battleship.

The following Zerg came like a tsunami, and they used sharp scythes to cut the pipe.

The scythe was extremely powerful and had a high degree of physical adaptability. It quickly expanded the small hole and began to spread through the pipes to various parts of the battleship.

After entering the battleship, the Lightning Worm continued to look for other entrances and exits, using its claws and acid to attack these points.

The following sickle bugs soon lay on the surface of the battleship, and quickly found the passage for the lightning bugs to break into the interior of the battleship.

It can be seen that a sickle insect has been torn into several parts by bullets from anti-aircraft guns. Although there is green blood flowing on the body, the injuries are being repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It doesn't mean that they are intact as before, but their powerful self-repair ability allows them to move freely even if they have a broken hand or a broken leg.

Don't worry about dying from excessive blood loss while walking.

An emergency alarm sounded in Field's battleship, and the soldiers were forced to take up their weapons and prepare to fight the Zerg without any preparation.

The mantis bug uses its strong forelimbs to slam all obstacles in its way, and quickly eliminates all soldiers.

There were explosions in the battleship. The mantis seemed to have destroyed part of the battleship's engine. Various explosions occurred one after another on the battleship.

A large group of sickle insects passed through the corridors and cabins, hacking to death all the soldiers who blocked them, while quickly looking for the next target.

Eventually, they discovered the battleship's control room and swooped down there.

"I really want to ask, are the things we are doing now really meaningful?"

Field's soldiers held the laser gun tightly, focused on the rushing Zerg, and kept shooting.

The Zerg have a flexible body, and the Soldier's bullets don't always hit their target accurately.

However, the space in the cabin is limited, and no matter how hard the Zerg hide, they can only stay in this space. It doesn't take long before they are sieved by laser guns.

"I don't know either, but there is no way out."

Rather than the fear of being forced into hand-to-hand combat due to the Zerg invasion, what these soldiers feared more was that they simply could not kill them all.

They can indeed kill a Zerg with a few shots.

But if there are dozens, hundreds, or tens of millions of people on the other side, will their current efforts be effective?
"Stop complaining. We have the smallest number of Zerg in this fleet. We must defeat them no matter what!"

The man who looked like a commander shouted loudly to the other soldiers in the control room, then took out his gun and started shooting at the Zerg who broke into the control room.

The zerg kept charging at the soldier, trying to attack him with their sharp scythes.

The soldiers retreated while firing their laser guns, while also instinctively using various bunkers to cover themselves.
