With the support of a ninth-level civilization, do you want me to believe in electronic gods?

Chapter 426: Xinaluo Royal Expedition Fleet

boom!
The flames of the explosion suddenly bloomed under the red starry sky.

The micro-missiles and laser weapons equipped on the combat armor drew graceful arcs in the air and finally smashed hard into the "greedy" giant insect.

Not bad, greedy.

That was the only word Gurki could think of to describe the giant insect that fell from the sky.

Even though the scorching laser beams and micro missiles bombarded the giant insect fiercely, the giant insect did not put down the half-tall tower in its mouthparts, and even accelerated the swallowing action!
Of course, the most fundamental reason may be that the weapons equipped with the combat armor are too weak - whether it is kinetic weapons or energy weapons, they cannot cause large-scale damage to the hard armor on the surface of the giant insect.

We failed to penetrate the enemy's armor

Although the weapons carried by the combat armor were low-end weapons that should have been eliminated long ago, Gurchi and Gesen were still shocked by the scene before them.

Whether it is high-energy laser weapons with astonishing temperatures, or those miniature missiles filled with high explosives, which one is an attack that a normal creature can withstand with its body?
Not to mention living things, the ammunition poured out in the past few minutes is enough to blow some smaller asteroids into cosmic dust!

But rather...

No damage was done to the giant insect!!
Oh, no.

Strictly speaking, their attack did have some effect - the shiny surface of the giant insect's armor on its back was slightly damaged, probably to the extent of a scratch on a car's paint!

Time passes bit by bit.

Amidst the continuous and sharp creaking sounds, half of the tower made of high-strength composite materials was completely submerged in the body of the giant insect.

Then, under the horrified gaze of Gurchi and Gesen, the slight damage to the giant insect's armor was repaired at an extremely fast speed.

This is not the most critical.

The most crucial point is that if Gurchi is not mistaken, compared with before, the surface of the armor that the giant worm has grown back seems to be shining with the luster of the monitoring tower - in just a few minutes, the giant worm has turned the tower it has eaten into its own use! !

After eating half of the tower, the giant insect finally noticed the two "ants" that kept attacking it.

[Gerson...]

The moment he met the giant insect's scarlet eyes, Gurchi, who was in the combat armor, suddenly felt a strong chill rising from his back. He swallowed hard and tried to say something: [How about we...]

The words haven't finished yet.

The giant insect let out a shrill hissing sound, and driven by its eight pairs of abdominal legs, it suddenly leaped forward and pounced towards Gurchi and Gesen!
At the same time, the giant insect's claws and its tail covered with spikes also roared and smashed towards the two tall battle mechas! !
Amidst a series of warning flashes, the shield system's light lit up around the combat armor.

Gurchi didn't think much about it, and almost instinctively controlled the combat armor to raise its two mechanical arms, firmly protecting the heavy visor at the head of the armor.

Bang! ! !
As two dull collision sounds came from the front and the back, a strong sense of impact came from the battle armor under him. Gulchi felt a tightness in his chest and lost consciousness instantly! !

After an unknown amount of time, Gurchi gradually regained consciousness with a sour creaking sound.

Various warning lights popped up on the combat armor's control interface.

The shield system is down; the transmission system is down; the energy system is down...

After just one encounter, this latest model of combat armor was on the verge of being scrapped!
The most thrilling thing was the tearing scratch with a faint arc of electricity flashing on the chest of the armor below the visor - if this scratch was a little higher, Gurchi, who was behind the visor, would be completely pulled out of the cockpit of the combat armor!
“Squeak… squeak…”

The sour chewing sound continued to be heard. Gurchi took two deep breaths and looked in the direction of the sound, enduring the strong discomfort in his body.

Just one glance and he held his breath!

More than half of Gesen's combat armor has already entered the giant insect's dark purple sharp mouthparts!

Under the chewing of the giant insect, the solid battle armor was like waste entering a crusher, quickly turning into countless fragments of various shapes! !

Gurchi's pupils dilated rapidly, and an extremely deep fear gushed out from the depths of his eyes. Then, he used his long-degenerated vocal cords to let out a shrill roar without any real meaning.

From this moment on, for the first time, he felt a deep fear of the deep, mysterious starry sky above his head.

……

Outside the palace walls.

Starry sky, giant insects, fighting...

Scenes flashed rapidly through Gurchi's mind, and finally, the picture stopped on the dark purple mouthparts chewing up and down.

The afterimage slowly dissipated, perfectly overlapping with the deep sky above, as if... the entire starry sky had become the giant insect's huge mouth that kept opening and closing! !
Gurqi's body trembled violently, and in just a few seconds, he felt a thin layer of cold sweat seeping out of his back.

Boom! Boom! Boom! !

The sound of his heartbeat traveled through his chest and bones and into his degenerated ears.

He breathed rapidly and subconsciously tried to divert his gaze.

But next second.

He clenched his teeth and forced himself to look directly at the seemingly ordinary starry sky!
Traces of blood appeared at the roots of Gurqi's teeth, and his expression became ferocious.

It wasn't just Gulchi. Faced with the sudden appearance of the starry sky, quite a number of Xinalo people showed varying degrees of fear and horror.

but……

More importantly, the emotions of the Xinalo people are gradually rising, and they are determined to take back their home planet!

【Counterattack the mother planet! 】

[Long live the Queen! Take back our homeland! ! ]

[……] They controlled the old mechanical armor beneath them, raised their mechanical arms high, and let out silent shouts.

The originally quiet imperial city became completely noisy at this moment.

Feeling the soft fluorescent light coming from around him, the fear and horror in Gurchi's eyes gradually dissipated, and his originally trembling body returned to its former calm.

The disordered fluorescence on the body surface quickly stabilized and blended into the faint fluorescence emitted by its surrounding companions.

Like his people, he raised his arms high and shouted silently to General Artesia standing on the top of the city wall:

【Counterattack...】

【Counterattack! Counterattack!!】

……

after one day.

The edge of the Xinaluo star system.

The khaki starship sailed out of the star system and finally hovered in the crowded starry sky.

In the cockpit, Chen Fan looked solemnly at the boundless starry sky outside the porthole.

Around the investigator starship, there are densely packed defensive turrets that the Xinalo civilization spent decades building!
According to Queen Ophelia's request, they will be the first line of defense against those star Zerg!
Behind this defense array built up of countless automatic turrets, driven by antimatter engines, a number of flat-shaped old starships slowly emerged from the depths of the Xinalo star system.

This is the last fighting force of the Xinalo civilization.

The Xinalo Royal Expedition Fleet was built during the Xinalo home planet period, and eventually followed the Xinalo civilization to leave its homeland and come to this remote star system.

Perhaps it was because of the long journey, or perhaps it was because they had been silent in the starry sky for more than forty years, the surface of these warships was covered with a thin layer of interstellar dust. The warships themselves looked very old. Chen Fan could even see some traces of war on the surface of some warships.

They are the second line of defense against the star zerg.

Yes, at Ophelia's repeated request, Chen Fan and the investigator starship became the third and last line of defense of the Xinalo civilization!
[We have lived in this star system for forty years. Now, the Xinaluo civilization needs a war to adapt to this cruel universe as soon as possible.]

Ophelia said: [This will be beneficial to the subsequent Xinaluo expedition plan, and at the same time, it will also be beneficial to the Star Envoy's investigation plan. ]

After seeking Wang Jing's opinion, Chen Fan agreed to this proposal which was bound to result in sacrifices.

the reason is simple.

on the one hand.

Just as Ophelia said, whether it is the expedition that the Xinalo civilization is about to launch, or the investigation that the Human Alliance is about to conduct on Xinalo's home planet, neither requires a cowardly race that can only live on a planet!

on the other hand.

Chen Fan carefully inquired about the situation of the defense of the mother planet fifty years ago, and found that the alien life forms described by Ophelia were quite different from the star Zerg he knew.

Although the two have the same appearance, their strengths are vastly different!

The former, although possessing a strong body and the ability to cross the starry sky, will still be severely damaged when facing powerful ship-borne antimatter weapons and space weapons.

And the latter...

Even [Su Zheng] is no match for them.

Such a huge difference is definitely not normal.

In order to prepare for the next expedition and investigation, and to ensure victory in future wars, Chen Fan does need a large amount of information related to the Star Zerg.

then……

The two lines of defense of the Xinalo civilization became the best touchstones - they could test the true strength of these exotic life forms for Chen Fan!
of course.

Having said that, Chen Fan was still ready to help at any time.

"Notice!"

Yi's electronic synthesized voice sounded in the cockpit, interrupting Chen Fan's somewhat divergent thoughts: "High-intensity space-time field fluctuations have been detected. The target will arrive near the Xinaluo star system in thirty seconds."

"The exact coordinates have been predicted."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge, slowly flashing red dot suddenly appeared on the holographic star map above the main console!

Chen Fan's expression froze, and he quickly reached out and operated on the holographic interface.

"This is the Varela."

"General Artesia, the enemy's landing coordinates have been determined."

As he spoke, he transmitted the calculated coordinates to Artesia, who was in the Royal Expeditionary Fleet.

[Master Star Envoy, thank you for your help. 】

Artesia's response quickly appeared in front of Chen Fan's eyes. At the same time, the endless artillery batteries arranged in the starry sky changed directions and aimed their black muzzles at a small area in the boundless starry sky.

[Next, let's leave it to the Xinaluo Royal Expedition Fleet! ]

Artesia is full of confidence: [All autonomous turrets, start charging! ]
