My Clone Empire - Chapter 696

As for why there are humans in captivity in the Zerg territory, the reason is very simple. You must know that although the Federation is now sunset, they still possess a large number of weapons of mass destruction.

In order to make the people of the Federation cast a rat-rejection device, the Zerg can only keep some of the planet’s population as hostages!

In this way, because of the fear that the carpet bombing would injure civilians, the Federation fleet would not dare to carry out a devastating attack on the colonial stars occupied by the Zerg.

At the same time, the humans that the Zerg chooses to keep are generally the most knowledgeable part of the colony star, usually engineers and scientists.

Such people have low combat effectiveness and no resistance, and they can continue to keep factories and mines operating for the Zerg.

Those young and middle-aged, veterans, the old, the weak and the sick, etc. have been turned into the rations of the Zerg.

This slaughter plan that only left the elite population also guaranteed the safety of the Zerg on this planet.

After all, if it were ordinary people, they might be killed together with the Zerg, and the Federation would not feel too painful.

However, if the captured people on the planet are skilled workers, engineers, scientists, etc., then it will be difficult for the Federation to start. After all, if these people can be rescued, the Federation’s strength will be greatly enhanced!

Anyway, the Zerg won’t eat these people, so they just put it under the custody of the Zerg for a period of time. This is the common idea of ​​the federation high-level.

Facing the 100 million surviving humans on this planet, the fleet commander Luo Hong also struggled.

If he burns hundreds of millions of people with the Zerg to ashes, although the task can proceed smoothly, they will definitely carry a lifetime of guilt and cold-blooded infamy.

This is one hundred million lives, not just a few hundred or thousands of people!

If these populations can be placed under the rule of Andromeda Company, the development speed of Andromeda Company will be greatly accelerated!

Judging from the images taken, most of these retained people are technical personnel with knowledge and literacy, and muscular guys are rarely seen.

It’s fake if you can’t say it!

“Sir, what shall we do?” The first officer of the flagship looked at Luo Hong with a tangled expression.

“Wait a minute, I’ll get in touch with the higher-ups!” Luo Hong turned and walked towards the secret communication room.

A few minutes later, Luo Hong walked back, and his expression at this time had relaxed.

“The boss ordered us to leave a part of the troops to land on this planet, and the remaining warships continue to move forward!”

“This way! The flagship and a hundred cruisers remain, and all the other warships continue to advance!” Luo Hong chose a small part of the warships to stay on this planet, while the other main forces continued to attack the Zerg. Anyway, it won’t take long for the second fleet to follow, and a hundred cruisers are enough to suppress the Zerg forces on this planet. He is confident to win this ground battle in a short period of time and rescue the hostages so that they can catch up with the large forces as soon as possible.

As for the position of the original commander, it was temporarily transferred to the deputy commander of the fleet’s reserve flagship.

Here I have to talk about the management structure of the Titan fleet.

First of all, the commander of the flagship is the commander-in-chief of the fleet. When the flagship is destroyed and the commander sacrifices, a spare flagship in the fleet will automatically be promoted to become the flagship.

There are as many as four such spare flagships!

Once the backup flagship and commander are all sacrificed, they will continue according to the rank in the fleet, and the person with the highest rank will automatically become the new commander. If there are too many people at the same rank, they will be ranked according to the age of service. before.

Luo Hong didn’t know that his decision made him miss the upcoming battle ahead.

The encirclement and suppression fleet of the Zerg has rushed in front of the Andromeda Company fleet to deploy to their next target planetary system, and now it is only waiting for the Andromeda Company fleet to come.

Luo Hong didn’t expect the Zerg to have this deployment. Considering that he was better at landing battles, in order to end the battle as soon as possible, he chose to stay in this planetary system.

When the main force of the fleet left, a hundred cruisers began to airborne the planet.

In order to force the enemy to the ground to engage in hand-to-hand combat with ground forces, the Zerg did not build air defense weapons on this planet.

After all, if a battleship is attacked by ground-based anti-aircraft weapons in orbit, it is likely that the planet is too dangerous to give up rescuing the hostages.

Instead of using anti-aircraft weapons, place the enemies on the ground and let them fight against the Zerg who is proficient in ground warfare!

In the Andromeda expedition fleet sequence, it is different from the battleships that deal with the enemy’s main battleships and the White Eagle-class destroyers that deal with the enemy’s Vespa swarms and small battleships.

The main task of the cruisers in the Andromeda Expeditionary Fleet is to protect the safety of battleships, and at the same time shoulder the heavy task of covering the landing forces.

Each cruiser is equipped with a large number of Marine Corps soldiers and combat robots, and the cruiser’s weapons are also improved weapons for ground attacks.

After determining the landing site, a thousand large landing craft rushed out of the cruiser.

Said it is a boat, it can actually be called a landing ship! The length of each landing craft reached fifty meters! Each cruiser with a length of one kilometer is equipped with only ten large landing craft.

The front of these landing craft has heavy U-shaped armor, which like a warhead protects the safety of the transport boat in the front and side, up and down five directions.

It allows the landing craft to rush through the enemy’s firepower net in the enemy’s powerful ground air defense fire.

The rear part of the landing craft is equipped with sixteen near-defense guns, which are mainly used to prevent enemy missiles and fighters.

Although the Zerg did not have missiles or fighters, they still had flying units like Vespas, so these near-defense guns were kept.

When the bullet-type landing craft rushed into the atmosphere ~www.mtlnovel.com~ the Zerg troops on the ground began to show their weak anti-aircraft firepower.

A large number of biological material spikes are driven by the tail biological thruster to fly high at high speed.

These extremely high-strength spikes are like steel needles. As long as they hit the landing craft, they will be directly inserted into the armor of the landing craft’s head.

Fortunately, the armor of the landing craft still resisted these flying needle-stick shells.

When the landing craft lowered to a low altitude, each landing craft almost turned into a hedgehog, and the armor on their heads had been filled with gray spikes.

“Hurry! Get ready for airborne!” In the landing craft, the captain of the landing team carried by each landing craft closed his face mask and shouted while waving his arms.

At the same time, the sides of the landing craft began to stretch out wings that were almost the same width as the landing craft. These wings not only allowed the landing craft to glide in the air, but also ensured that the landing craft could keep glide for an extremely long period of time when the anti-gravity device was destroyed. Long enough to safely deploy all troops on the ground.
