Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 328 The Wall of Sighs
The machine guns of the close-range anti-aircraft guns were all activated, and bullets as dense as a heavy rain continued to shoot down the insects that were approaching rapidly.

The close-range anti-aircraft guns with 10,000+ rounds per minute drew one curve after another in the sky above the battleship.

A storm of bullets struck, and the Zerg bodies were torn into pieces one after another wherever they passed.

Compared to the artillery array warship group that can penetrate the entire insect sea with one shot and tear a vacuum zone in the insect sea, the human warships packed with close-in anti-aircraft guns can not kill as many insect swarms as the warships at the rear.

But he also has an unparalleled advantage, that is, he can quickly clean up the swarms of insects that try to lie on the hull of the spacecraft.

The close-in anti-aircraft gun type weapons are far from comparable to other types of weapons in terms of the movable angle of firing and the muzzle tracking speed.

Although all human warships were completely surrounded by the insect swarm at close range, in fact, a vacuum zone was almost torn out between the insect swarm and the hull.

The densely packed anti-aircraft guns weaved a net of death firepower around the hull at a special angle. Any insect swarm that crossed the boundary would be torn to pieces by the dense bullets.

The swarms of squirming worms surrounded the battleship, but in fact only a few zerg could crawl on the hull of the battleship to attack the armor.

When the human battleship group in front was wrapped up, the artillery array in the rear became a little panicked.

Although no one still dared to start the engine and retreat back, it was obvious that the battleship's salvo was a little messy and uneven.

Just when everyone was waiting for the human fleet in front to be penetrated by the insect swarm and explode one after another, they immediately gave up the attack, started the engine at full power and retreated backwards.

No matter how long we wait, the human battleship group is like the Great Wall standing here. It always feels like it is going to fall, but it never falls.

The swarm of insects has surrounded these human warships. It can be imagined that no matter how exaggerated the density of the anti-aircraft guns is, it cannot withstand the swarm of insects that are pouring over like a tide.

As time passed, scattered insect swarms did begin to break through the anti-aircraft fire network and penetrate into the armor of the battleship.

However, at this point, what awaits them is the next wall of sighs.

The artificial dragon scale armor resisted the attacks of the sickle insect swarm head-on.

The continuously sputtering sparks only left some traces on it, and it was obviously still a long way from complete breakdown.

But soon the close-range anti-aircraft gun next to it had turned its muzzle, and the fierce fire snakes spitting out it completely tore it into pieces.

Hard armor and an output environment where almost every Zerg can be torn apart by just lying on the hull and slashing twice.

The human battleship group withstood the dense attack of the insect swarm, buying enough time for the tens of thousands of artillery arrays behind to deal with the attack.

The sea of ​​tens of thousands of artillery bombardment arrays behind them finally came to their senses.

"The whole army will cut off the energy supply except the weapon system, and the full version of the artillery array will be activated!"

As the order was issued, the various hull lights on the tens of thousands of artillery array warships behind were extinguished.

In the corridor, the big lights originally used for lighting were turned off one after another, and the sound of various machines gradually stopping due to the power outage came from inside the ship.

All the light on the entire battleship has disappeared, and the energy shield surrounding the battleship has gradually faded away from the hull.

Even the last bit of basic pre-start energy from the engine was deducted, and all of it was supplied to the weapon system.

At this moment, these are not tens of millions of warships, but tens of millions of space stations.

There is no need for lighting inside the ship, because the light from the tachyon light spear is enough to illuminate the inside of the ship.

At this time, not only the warships of the Star Ocean Community and the Kingdom of England and France could penetrate the entire insect sea with one shot, Portman and Field's combined nearly 30 million warships could also hit them from beginning to end with one shot.The overall firepower has increased by more than [-]% than before, but the cost is also serious. Once the human fleet in front cannot hold on, then all the tens of millions of warships in the rear will be in vain.

However, Qin Xu said that he would lead them to defeat the Zerg.

So, just keep moving forward!
The shelling array sea composed of tens of millions of battleships has greatly improved in terms of rate of fire and intensity compared to before.

The overwhelming sea of ​​insects was constantly being cleaned by ferocious firepower.

Round after round, I don’t know how many rounds were fired.

But as long as the human fleet in front is still there, the artillery array in the rear will not waste a second of stable output time.

Gradually, the insect swarm passed through the relay, and you slashed at the artificial dragon scale armor one after another.

As trace after trace accumulated, the dragon scale armor spread on the battleship's armor finally had a tendency to be penetrated.

"nervous?"

The vibrating sound of the insect swarm attacking the armor continued to be heard from the top, once, twice, three times, and everyone could clearly feel that the sound was approaching little by little.

Hearing Qin Xu's question, the deputy swallowed subconsciously because of nervousness, and just wanted to nod, but then he reacted violently and shook his head.

Qin Xu smiled, pulled out a laser sword from under the command chair, pressed the switch, and a yellow laser shot out.

Following his movements, everyone in the command room made the same move, and for a while, the sound of lasers blazing out of the command room was endless.

"Don't be nervous."

Qin Xu smiled, and then connected to the communication channel of the entire army, "From now on, everyone will take out their weapons and act in full compliance with my orders."

"Yes!"

The top of the battleship was broken, and a scythe insect fell from the sky.

Qin Xu simply slashed at him, but the sickle insect wanted to block.

But that was actually just a fake move. Qin Xu casually changed the angle at which he slashed the laser sword, and the sickle insect's abdomen exploded instantly.

Under the omniscient and prescient command of Qin Xu, the insect swarms that broke into the battleship tried to invade the energy center through various channels, but they were not discovered until they entered the energy center.

The energy reactor here is actually stalled!

The human battleship did not start its engines, nor did it use the shaped arc launcher of its main gun.

Most of the weapons on the ship are near-air defense weapons, which do not require much energy, so more than 90% of the energy reactors of the battleship are turned off.

If the swarm wants to cause the entire spacecraft to self-destruct by breaking through the energy reactor, it can only attack the 10% of the energy reactor that is turned on.

This place has long been heavily guarded by human soldiers, and there is no possibility of a breakthrough by the insect swarm in a short period of time.

With Qin Xu's predictive ability, the Zerg directly lost this possibility.
