The cluster consciousness chose a good time to launch the general attack. At this time, the two orc planets were the farthest apart in their orbit around the star.

Moreover, because of the pull of gravity, the Orcs' space fortress, the air defense system on the Harvest II, and the Orcs' pirate fleet are all at a farther distance than usual.

The plan of the cluster consciousness was to take advantage of the fact that the three firepower fulcrums of the orcs could not be fully taken care of and break through a gap, either to severely damage the orc fleet or to land on the Harvest II and engage in a tug-of-war with the orcs on the ground.

The orc fortress is very strong and difficult to destroy in a short time. As long as one of the three fulcrums is used to open a gap, the stalemate situation will be much better.

To execute the plan of the group consciousness, He must first face the space mines of the Orcs. The group consciousness is very familiar with these large and small Orc mines, but it is also very troublesome, because the Orc mines are different every time, and there is no pattern to follow, so it is difficult to target.

In order to break through the space minefield, the group consciousness released a large number of self-destructing locusts, and a smaller biological ship with acid cannons to sweep the mines. The efficiency was not high, firstly because there were too many orc mines, and secondly because some mines were very ingeniously designed.

For example, when a swarm of locusts approached, some special ones among those air mines would fly over and crash into the swarm of locusts. The huge explosion produced a shocking impact effect, killing large numbers of self-destructive locusts.

The Tyranid biological ships that tried to use acid cannons to fire and clear mines were also affected and suffered considerable losses.

When the group consciousness sent out troops to sweep the mines, the orcs would not watch, and the nova cannons, heavy light spears, space torpedoes, etc. fell into the Tyranid biological fleet one after another. Every minute and every second, the group consciousness was losing Tyranid biological ships.

Chapter 196: Fierce Battle Above the Rich II

Long-range weapons have always been the weak point of the Tyranid biological ship, and it cannot break through the air mine area in a short period of time. Soon the Zerg fleet will enter the anti-aircraft firepower range of the Abundance II, and then the Zerg fleet will suffer a more serious blow.

As a last resort, the swarm consciousness sent out large biological ships as pioneers in order to improve the efficiency of minesweeping. In order to ensure the success of this attack, the swarm consciousness intentionally strengthened the overall protection of the biological ships, and some of the biological ships had thick carapaces on their heads.

At the cost of casualties, the Tyranid biological fleet began to forcibly break through the air minefield. With a cluster awareness of 10,000 Tyranid biological ships, some losses could be tolerated.

Upon discovering that the Tyranids had begun a desperate attack, Boss Rotten Tooth also ordered his men to unleash desperate firepower in an effort to weaken the Zerg's combat effectiveness as much as possible in the long-range phase.

However, there were too many Tyranid biological ships. After suffering casualties of more than a thousand biological ships, the cluster consciousness still achieved its combat goal. More than 6,000 Zerg fleets suppressed the Ork Space Fortress and the Orc Fleet, and 3,000 Zerg fleets surrounded Harvest II.

There were some small Ork space stations and artillery batteries in the synchronous orbit of the Harvest II, but facing so many Tyranid bio-ships at once, they did not last long before being destroyed.

What really caused serious damage to the Tyranid bio-ship were the air defense positions located at the South Pole and the North Pole of the Abundance II. The orcs built these two places like a steel continent.

There are broken iron plates and tunnels everywhere, and occasionally one or two dark holes can be seen. Some of the holes are giant light spear launchers, and some are missile launchers.

Many tall 'towers' stand on the metal continent. A large number of greenskins drive various vehicles across the metal continent, delivering shells and energy to those anti-aircraft 'towers'.

The roars of these huge turrets, which looked like "towers" from a distance and mountains from a close distance, shook the entire continent. Every time the turret fired, it was like a thunder. The sky covering the continent was like boiling water, rolling and breaking under the destruction of these shells and energy weapons. Even the smallest cloud would be torn into pieces without even a fragment.

The acid and bio-plasma dropped by the Tyranid bio-ships in space are simply not enough to destroy a continent, and many of them will be blocked by the field shields built by the orcs. Only occasionally will a turret be destroyed by the firepower of the Tyranid bio-ships.

In contrast, the Orcs' anti-aircraft firepower can hit the Tyranid bio-ships hard, and the effect is very good as long as they hit them. It is often the case that one shot can hit a Tyranid bio-ship, and it would be better if the hit rate was a little higher.

After simply testing the firepower gap, the cluster consciousness quickly changed its tactics. More than 2,000 Tyranid bio-ships collectively turned and hovered in the planet's synchronous orbit, trying to stay above the equator as much as possible to reduce the firepower coverage.

The biological fleet descended in altitude while clearing out the orc shipbuilding factories in orbit. The cluster's will felt that even if this attack failed again, it would seriously damage the green-skinned orcs' production capacity.

At the same time, Tyranid airdropped spores that covered the sky and the sun, and fell in a full circle along the Abundance II.

More than a billion Tyranids were dropped, and they fought fiercely with the greenskins on the ground. When the Orc shipbuilding factories in orbit were dismantled, the remaining Tyranid bio-ships fell directly into the atmosphere, crashed to the ground, transformed themselves into biomass, and continued to fight the greenskins on the planet.

Because the Great Devourer dared to deploy so many biological warships at one time, the Tyranids quickly opened up the situation in the ground battle of Harvest II, occupied the equator, took root in the equatorial region, and used it as a starting point to attack the North and South Poles.

If the fighting continues like this, the Tyranids will likely retake Harvest II.

In the battlefield of space, Rotten Tooth calmly commanded the battle. Under his command, the space fortress and the Orc fleet continued to attack those Tyranid biological ships. One after another, the Tyranid biological ship was blown into pieces, but their number was still so large. The investment of cluster consciousness this time was too huge.

Some Orc warships were getting excited and started to leave their positions without following orders and charge towards the Tyranid fleet. Rotten Fang immediately ordered the medium firepower on the Orc fortress to destroy the leading Orc warship as a punishment.

"You useless guys, listen to me, no one is allowed to charge without my order! Just follow orders and stay in the designated position no matter how much you wahaagh! If anyone takes the lead in making trouble, this guy will end up like this. I, the boss Rotten Teeth, always keep my word!" Rotten Teeth shouted in the communication channel.

Without a leader, the restless Orc warships retreated and returned to their positions. They were able to restrain their waaagh instincts, mainly because the greenskins were still very obedient in front of the boss they admired.

The reason why he ordered his men not to risk attacking was because Boss Rotten Teeth knew very well where his strengths and weaknesses were. Moreover, the current temporary advantage was not enough. Based on Rotten Teeth's experience, he felt that the Zerg must have a backup plan and would not necessarily deploy all of its fleet.

If you attack rashly, you may give the bugs a chance to divide and surround you and defeat them one by one.

While he was thinking, there was a sudden loud noise, and the entire fortress command room shook. Almost all the greenskins fell down. Rotten Tooth pressed his hands on the sand table, crushing the edge of the sand table to prevent himself from falling down.

"Damn it! What happened?" Rotten Tooth asked loudly after steadying himself, but the only response he got was the groans of the fallen technical guys. Then Rotten Tooth realized that he didn't need his guys to tell him the answer.

A huge mouth bit onto his command room. The densely packed big teeth were clearly visible. The whole mouth was constantly squeezing the command room. Some teeth-grinding sounds of steel being squeezed by huge force rubbed against the rotten-toothed ear.

The bug actually launched a sneak attack. How did such a big bug bypass the dense firepower and attack his command room? Rotten Tooth was very surprised.

The swarm's own evolved collective consciousness has increased the biological ship's attack speed and concealment ability, allowing some huge biological ships that are even two to three times the size of ordinary battleships to launch secret raids.

At the same time, these super-giant biological ships not only attacked Rotten Tooth's command room, but also attacked the orc fleet, disrupting the formation of the first row of the orc fleet.

When Rotten Tooth used the heavy weapons on the fortress to blow up the Tyranid super-giant biological ship that was biting his command room, the vanguard of the Tyranid fleet had already rushed into his formation, and the space battle entered the close-range melee stage.

Chapter 197 Big Bang

Boss Rotten Tooth wanted to swear so badly that he couldn't help but stomped to death a fart spirit who was cleaning up the damaged command room and sweeping up the remains of Tyranids.

The bugs were really despicable. They raided his planet No. 2 and attacked his fleet, which led to the current disadvantageous situation. He originally planned to severely damage the bugs' fleet within ten days and then go to support Planet No. 2.

Judging from the current situation, he has been put at a disadvantage by the bugs, and from a pessimistic point of view, he is about to lose Planet No. 2.

From a bird's-eye view of the battlefield, the three orc space fortresses of Boss Rotten Tooth are arranged in an inverted T-shape, forming a horn, which is convenient for mutual support and firepower coverage.

The Orc Pirate Fleet carried out long-range fire output behind the space fortress, and many air mines were laid between the three space fortresses to limit the efficiency of the Tyranids in attacking the space fortresses.

Among the three space fortresses, the largest and strongest one is the inverted fortress of Pinzitou where the boss Rotten Tooth is located, and it is also the one with the least pressure now.

The left side of the space fortress on both sides was under the greatest pressure, and the Tyranid bio-ships almost covered it. A large number of combat insects jumped down from the Tyranid bio-ships, and some were turned into charcoal by the high voltage electricity on the ground as soon as they landed, or were smashed into pieces by bullets from large guns.

However, more Tyranid fighting bugs rushed down, more than bullets. They continued to move forward by stepping on the corpses of their own kind, pouring into the fortress and fighting with the greenskins guarding inside.

The main attack direction of the Tyranids was on the left wing. There were too many of them. After covering the left wing fortress, they continued to advance, crossed the fortress, and collided with the Orc fleet behind the fortress, and started fighting.

If the left wing is crushed by the Tyranids, the massive Tyranid bio-ships will be able to use their numerical advantage to deliver a fierce left hook to Rotten Tooth's fleet and space fortresses.

Faced with such a dire situation, Boss Rotten Teeth had no choice but to use his trump card. He took out a metal box and when he opened it, there was a red button with a picture of Gogo painted on it.

The rotten-toothed boss showed a ruthless look on his face and pressed the button hard.

Deep in the left wing fortress, a large number of bombs were buried in the shadows. It was so dark that nothing could be seen, but a dazzling red light flashed on one of the bombs.

Soon, this red light spread in the darkness like an infection. Under the red light, countless bombs could be seen clearly. Few greenskins knew that so many bombs were buried under the space fortress.

The flashing red light was chaotic, but the rhythm was slowly balancing, until the flashing frequency of the red light was completely consistent.

In the silent universe, a huge explosion occurred with the Left Fortress as the center, and the cosmic battlefield fought by the Green Orcs and the Tyranids suddenly disappeared. The intense light produced by the explosion swallowed everything and submerged it in the white world.

The self-destruction system of the space fortress was a backup plan that Rotten Tooth had prepared long ago. All three fortresses had it. When the white light of the explosion slowly faded, the cluster consciousness had lost at least two thousand biological ships, and the entire formation had sunken a large area.

Seeing that his backhand had severely damaged the Zerg fleet, facing a total of only more than 3,000 Tyranid biological ships, Boss Rotten Tooth immediately ordered his men to launch a counterattack. His order was only one word, which was waaagh.

The entire communication channel was like a barrel of explosives, ignited in an instant, and the orcs who had been frustrated for a long time responded to their boss with waaagh. After the Zerg fleet lost its numerical advantage, it suffered heavy losses in an instant under the pincer attack of the Orc Pirate Fleet and the Orc Space Fortress.

The Orcs will be even more powerful when they are waaagh, which is very obvious even in space. The waaagh position will protect the Orc warships and make their warships faster and their artillery fire faster.

Under normal circumstances, the cluster consciousness should order its own Zerg fleet to retreat. In such a chaotic battle, the exchange ratio is too ugly. Boss Rotten Tooth also deduced this, and he desperately encouraged the orcs to attack, entangle as many Zerg warships as possible, and cause more casualties.

The Zerg fleet was retreating, but it was not a retreat from the battlefield. It was more like a carefully calculated pull and containment.

After chasing for a while, Rotten Tooth felt something was wrong. Why were the bugs so hesitant this time? Could they have some conspiracy? He knew that bugs were cunning. But Rotten Tooth became cautious and began to scout around. He still couldn't see any ambush, and the number of bug warships was indeed decreasing.

Am I worrying too much? Rotten Tooth couldn't help but think.

Suddenly, a crazy kid stumbled into the command room and shouted, "Boss Rotten Tooth, Planet One is under siege! Bugs, lots of bugs on it."

In order to prove the truth of his words, the Nervous Boy tapped Rotten Teeth. He originally wanted to tap his forehead, but he was too short to reach Rotten Teeth's forehead.

On the Abundance One, countless Tyranid bio-ships in space covered half of the planet, and the defense system and shipyard in orbit were all destroyed. On the ground, the entire planet was raining insect spores. Those spore sacs contained countless ferocious combat insects, and they were also endlessly hungry.

The greenskins on the planet are still resisting fiercely, but judging from the pictures sent by the Psycho Boy, time is no longer on the greenskins' side. The bugs will expand their advantage little by little until all the greenskins are wiped out.

"How is this possible! How did the bugs get behind us? Why didn't anyone tell me?" The angry Rotten Tooth kicked the Nervous Boy to the ground. His brain was working at high speed. He suddenly thought of the bug battleships that raided his headquarters. They were better at concealment and sneak attacks.

The number of the insect fleet was much larger than he had imagined. They could actually open up two fronts! Rotten Tooth was in a dilemma whether to stick to Planet No. 2 or return to Planet No. 1 for reinforcement.

Fortunately, during Rotten Fang's attack, the Tyranid bio-ships finally retreated, and only a little over a thousand of them withdrew from the battlefield. Rotten Fang could at least choose to deploy its fleet to the orbit of the Harvest II to provide bombing support for the greenskins fighting the Tyranids on the ground and eliminate them as soon as possible.

Holding on to the only planet is also an option, but the future battles may be pessimistic because the Rotten Tooth boss may be sandwiched by the prepared Tyranids at any time.

"Do you think you are the strongest boss?" Suddenly, an idea appeared in the mind of the confused Boss Rotten Teeth.

"Of course! Of course I'm the strongest. I killed so many bugs. How many bosses can do that!" Rotten Tooth immediately responded angrily.

"Then prove it to us!"

On the other side of the Rich Galaxy, Cheng Mingrui appeared above Rich No. 5 with his fleet.

Chapter 198 Burn it all out

Through the excellent radar system on the Slippery Boss, Cheng Mingrui soon discovered that the Harvest V in front of his fleet had become the dining table of the Tyranids. They were so greedy that they had eaten up half of the entire planet.

The strange thing is that there are basically not many Zerg fleets above the entire planet, most of them are auxiliary ships. Cheng Mingrui thinks that it may be because his attack was launched too suddenly, making the Tyranid Zerg unable to react in time.

I'll kill you while you're ill! Cheng Mingrui immediately ordered the fleet to attack.

The Slippery Boss and the Ancient Giant dispersed into a bombing formation and slowly occupied a favorable position above the Abundance No. 5 and began orbital bombing.

The location of Harvest V is relatively safe at the outermost part of the galaxy, and building giant spore towers for air defense would consume a large amount of biomass, so the Tyranids only had a small amount of air defense preparations and soon fell into the dilemma of being passively attacked.

The surface of Planet No. 5 was boiling, burning, and cracking. This time, Cheng Mingrui installed a more comprehensive orbital bombardment system specifically for the Slippery Boss. The orcs named this system Burn All.

On the largest continent of Harvest V, the Tyranid biological structures cover the entire continent. Digestion pools and poisonous vines are everywhere, greedily absorbing every usable resource on the planet.

The shadow cast by the Slippery Boss was clearly visible in the sky above the continent. Some of the low-level Tyranid combat insects covered by the shadow could not control their survival instincts out of fear. Some fled backwards, while others raised their heads and roared threateningly at the Slippery Boss in the sky.

A circular hole opened up in the ground of the sly boss, and the energy of destruction was brewing inside. When the energy reached its peak, a red beam of light pierced into the center of the continent like a judgment from heaven.

The shock wave from the underground explosion overturned the layers of the ground like a rolling earth dragon, and the scorching flames spread outward along the shock wave. Not only the biological buildings of the Tyranids, but also the water, air, everything seemed to be scorched by the flames ejected by the stars. Nothing was left except the gray and black surface and flowing magma.

One shot from the Slippery Boss burned up half the continent.

Those Ork warships transformed from Ork Monoliths were too simple to be equipped with orbital bombing equipment, so they were sent out to expel and destroy the Tyranid biological facilities and biological ships in space.

These remaining Tyranids appear large and scary in appearance, but they are actually auxiliary units without much combat power. They are used to transport and process biomass, or to hatch Tyranid bio-ships.

More than 1,200 orc boulders of various sizes were divided into several small teams and soon cleared out all the Tyranid creatures above Harvest No. 5.

Cheng Mingrui only operated the Slippery Boss to fire one shot and then stopped the orbital bombardment. He left the rest of the matter to the other orc Gu Juji. While the Tyranids were caught off guard, he wanted to lead the fleet to the next planet.

The Tyranid Zerg collective consciousness of the Fertility Galaxy had never expected that the war situation between galaxies would turn out like this. Its original plan was to attract the attention of the main force of the Ork fleet by making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. It first sent a main force of a biological fleet of 10,000 ships to attack the Orcs' Planet No. 2.

After attracting the attention of the orcs, at the same time, a force of 5,000 biological ships with enhanced concealment and raid capabilities launched a surprise attack on the orcs' planet No. 1.

His tactics were very successful. Planet No. 1 was suppressed. Although the Zerg fleet on Planet No. 2 suffered heavy losses due to the self-explosion of the Orc fortress, a large number of combat Zerg were spread on Planet No. 2. It would take a lot of time for the Greenskins to wipe them out. Besides, this attack destroyed most of the Orcs' production capacity buildings.

As long as we accumulate a swarm fleet of the same size, we can completely sweep across the greenskins in the rich galaxy.

The sudden appearance of the Screw Clan, a new clan of Orcs, disrupted all plans of the collective consciousness. An Orc fleet of such a large scale and such well-equipped equipment could not be stopped by the current collective consciousness.

The collective consciousness of the Harvest Galaxy has not yet evolved its own Zerg fleet. According to the intelligence sent by the Great Devourer, the Screw Clan has a weapon that can cause a genetic chain collapse. In theory, as long as the Zerg is dense enough, this weapon can destroy all Zerg units.

The cluster consciousness quickly calculated the feasibility of various plans and finally chose a more conservative plan, which was to leave some troops behind as a cover, while most of the swarm fleet evacuated with as much biomass as possible.

He divided his computing power into three parts. One part was on the Harvest II, where there were a large number of Tyranid combat insects and sufficient biomass. He could divert the attention of the native orcs of the Harvest Galaxy here.

The second one was on the Abundant One. Originally, the collective consciousness planned to quickly fight a few encirclement and annihilation battles here and then start harvesting the biomass of the One. Now, He just wanted to avoid losses, so He stopped all large-scale attacks, leaving only the guerrilla fighters and greenskins to contain them, and then collected all the fighters to plunder as many resources on the One as possible within three days and began to retreat.

The third share is where the most computing power is allocated, namely, Fengrao No. 4 and No. 3.

On the surface of Cornucopia IV, swarm consciousness rapidly changed the performance of Zerg buildings and the supply of biomass, and large numbers of mountain-like spore towers rose from the surface of the planet.

In space, those fragile Tyranid bio-ships that were like balloons and only stored and transported biomass retreated immediately. Those large and difficult-to-move space units immediately entered the planet's gravitational field under the push of other bio-ships, fell to the planet for recovery, and strengthened the defense of Abundance IV.

Abundance III is the planet that has been operated by the collective consciousness for the longest time. There are 5,000 Tyranid bio-ships in the planet's orbit, which are the reserve force of the collective consciousness. The queen insect that can give birth to 1,000 Tyranid bio-ships at a time is also above this planet.

The other biological ships were filled with biomass under the command of the collective consciousness and would begin to retreat in two days, but the large queen insect would definitely not be able to escape.

After eating two transport ships loaded with biomass, the queen spit out a kind of silk and quickly wrapped herself into a huge cocoon. The queen's body inside the cocoon turned back into biological soup and began to evolve in a transformed form under the control of the collective consciousness.

Leaving a troop behind to cover the retreat and preserve their own manpower to the greatest extent, the collective consciousness also contacted the Great Devourer and passed on their plans and important information about the emergence of the Orc Screw Clan.

While the cluster consciousness was executing its plan in an orderly manner, Cheng Mingrui drove the Orc Monolith led by the Slippery Boss to the Abundance Planet No. 4 and was about to launch an attack.

Chapter 199 Meteorites Fall from the Sky

Abundance IV and V are similar. The surface of the planet is also covered with insect biological buildings, poisonous vines, and the poisonous air fills the entire planet. Only space is very clean, without even a single insect hair.

The Orc Monolith is a traditional Orc design, with fast charges, thick armor, and strong firepower, but it does not have space bombing capabilities.

Just as Cheng Mingrui was thinking about whether to tilt the fleet down, facing the planet sideways, and bomb the Tyranids on it, green meteors rose from the surface of Planet No. 4. Judging from the landing point, the target was Cheng Mingrui's Orc fleet.

That was the anti-aircraft firepower of the spore towers on the planet. The essence of the green meteors was extremely concentrated corrosive acid. This was a temporary defense arrangement set up by the cluster consciousness to buy time for retreat.
