My Clone Empire - Chapter 698
While the Zerg troops were suppressed by explosions and bullets shot from tall buildings, some marines began to **** the human survivors hiding in the buildings outside the city. The rescue mission on the ground is progressing in an orderly manner and very smoothly!
“No!” Commander Luo Hong frowned. It was because it went too smoothly that he felt something wrong. The Zerg’s combat effectiveness shouldn’t be so weak, and he was dragged down by the thousands of infantry fighting vehicles and combat robots on his side. If the Zerg is this kind of fighting power, then it is impossible for them to beat the Federation so badly!
“All troops contracted their defenses, gave up fighting, and returned to the fleet!” Luo Hong hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat.
Hearing the commander’s order to retreat, the crew members in the bridge were a bit stunned and cast a puzzled look at him. After all, it was their commander who advocated rescue at the beginning, and it was their commander who chose to stay. Now that the rescue operation is going so smoothly, it seems that it is about to succeed, but their commander says…give up!
Luo Hong looked at the puzzled expressions of the people around him, and sighed in his heart. He knew that this order was a bit abrupt to them. Although they would definitely carry out the order he gave in the end, after all, soldiers regard obeying orders as their bounden duty. Knowing that if they don’t explain clearly, they will definitely have doubts in their hearts, which will affect the morale of the soldiers, so he explained: “The action is going too smoothly, and the Zerg’s combat effectiveness will never be as they are now. At such a low level, if something goes wrong, there will be demons. Who knows what conspiracy these bugs have or what they hide…”
“Let the landing craft return to the battleship first, and then we will make a decision after we inquire in detail!”
“Although it is important to rescue the hostages, I will not gamble the lives of our hundreds of thousands of soldiers in order to rescue these hostages!”
The crew sighed softly when they heard this. Everyone has a selfish side. In the face of danger, between unrelated people and their companions, they will definitely choose their companions first. This is human nature.
They could not refute this reason, and the order to retreat was quickly passed on.
However, before the ground troops retreated, they still rescued more than 100,000 people, which gave them a little comfort.
Just as the landing craft carrying the hostages was about to return to the fleet, a lake on the land suddenly emptied, revealing a bottomless cave.
Immediately afterwards, Zerg warships rushed out from the ground. In the blink of an eye, thousands of Zerg warships had already rushed into orbit.
When the cruiser staying in the orbit and preparing to dock with the landing craft reacted, the black and overwhelming Zerg warship had already outflanked them.
“Quick! Stay away from the planetary orbit! Accelerate! Open the distance with the Zerg fleet!” Luo Hong knew that he could not head-to-head with the Zerg fleet now. Opportunities are divided and eliminated. His strategy cannot be said to be bad, but the reality is so cruel.
“The number of enemy ships is increasing! At present, it has exceeded 30,000! The number is still increasing!”
“It’s a good calculation!” Luo Hong slammed the console hard, annoyed in his heart.
This planet is actually a trap laid by the Zerg! Only a small number of Zerg troops are stationed on the planet, and 100 million human hostages are left as bait. This prevents the enemy’s large troops from washing the ground with missiles, and misleads the enemy into thinking that there are only a few Zerg troops on the planet. Therefore, the number of warships left to rescue the hostages will not be too many, but it will not be too few. After the enemy’s main fleet leaves, these hidden Zerg warships will emerge and swallow the enemy’s warships left behind to rescue the hostages. This can not only reduce the active force of the enemy’s main fleet, but also cut off the enemy’s back path!
At this time, Luo Hong was eager to swallow his flesh and drink his blood for the Zerg. It is conceivable that once the passage of the First Fleet to the new home star is cut off by the Zerg, it will not be the Zerg who will be making dumplings, but their Andromeda. Develop the company’s fleet!
“Strategic retreat! Go and join the Second Fleet!” Luo Hong gritted his teeth and made this very difficult decision for him, because he knew that their retreat, the 100,000 Marines on the planet’s surface Will fall into a dangerous situation of isolation and helplessness, but he has to do so. The power of the enemy and ourselves is too far apart, thirty thousand to one hundred. Perhaps a single Zerg warship is not as powerful as their cruisers, but ants often kill elephants. Their hundred cruisers rushed up, probably not enough for worms to fill their teeth. Yes, although desperate death can cause a certain amount of damage to the Zerg fleet, it will not be able to reverse the battle, and the Marines on the ground will also not get well.
But if they can rendezvous with the Second Fleet, then they will be able to counterattack with the Second Fleet, and the situation may be reversed by then.
Now I just hope that the number of Zerg fleets hidden on this planet will not increase.
“All warships obey orders! Immediately enter a super-luminous state and return to the new home planetary system!”
“All the ground forces have entered a state of guerrilla warfare, waiting for us to come and rescue when we merge with the second fleet!”
Thanks to the advanced super-light engine on the battleship, Luo Hong and his battleship quickly got rid of the pursuit of the Zerg fleet.
And the Zerg fleet did not continue pursuing, their first task was to intercept the logistics line of the first fleet of the Andromeda Development Company. Now that they can’t catch up, they won’t be foolish and keep chasing.
At the same time, the First Fleet, which had just arrived at the destination and lifted the super-light speed state, was covered by the overwhelming firepower of the Zerg after the super-light speed was lifted.
The Zerg encirclement and suppression fleet that had been waiting here was directly arranged into a pocket, and the flying warship of the Andromeda Company plunged into this pocket.
Countless plasma shells covered the entire sky, and the bridges of all warships were covered by these blue electric lights.
In a state of emergency, the bridges of these warships began to descend rapidly into the warship.
Fortunately, they had already considered the possibility of being attacked by the Zerg garrison in this planetary system before the superluminal state was lifted.
But they did not expect the firepower of this ambush to be so fierce.
A large number of covered plasma shells directly burned the shield of the outermost warship of the fleet.
When these warships that had lost their shields were about to replace their positions with warships in the fleet, the wasp swarm behind the plasma shells rushed up.
Among these wasps, there are still a large number of elite wasps sent by the brood ship.
The purpose of these bugs is very simple, and that is to let the elite hornets complete their boarding operations while the first fleet is being defeated.
Destroy the outer First Fleet warships directly from the inside ~www.mtlnovel.com~ so that they can turn these warships into their own use. This kind of formed warship is a biological warship replacement that Zerg likes very much now.
Although the combat effectiveness of these warships will be reduced after biochemical transformation, they do not need to spend more energy to cultivate new biological warships.
The nutrient needed for maintenance of a warship combined with machinery and biology is also greatly reduced.
Therefore, this battle will not only destroy the First Fleet, but also capture most of the First Fleet warships, thereby increasing the combat effectiveness and diversity of the Swarm Fleet.
The destroyers and battleships that had lost their shields were easily rushed to dangerous distances by the wasps.
Even if these battleships are piled up with anti-aircraft weapons, the number of Zerg’s wasps is too much.
As if not only eliminated forever, there will be more tops after a wasp dies! A few minutes later, these wasps had already broken through the warship’s air defense firepower net and landed on the battleship’s hull. And the plasma launcher in the mouth of the Vespa also began to destroy the anti-aircraft weapons on the shell of the battleship one by one, thereby reducing the casualties of the troops behind.
