Chapter 142 Bloody Battle

Seeing the two thunder beasts waving their huge sickles and rushing towards the ground troops, Qi Yiming, who was standing in the bridge, had no idea what to do.

As the commander of the ground team, Chen Cheng was already a little panicked. He had never faced such a large creature before.

Every time the two thunder beasts on the opposite side landed on their hooves, the ground under their feet would tremble.

"All siege tanks, aim at the closest thunder beast and shoot!"

The ground troops had no time to retreat now. The heavy troops on the outer defense line had long been entangled with the insect swarm.

If they retreated now, not only would they suffer huge casualties, but even the inner guard troops behind them would be in trouble.

But seeing the thunder beasts getting closer and closer to them, everyone instinctively retreated slowly.

The outer defense circle was slowly compressed inward, and some springtails had even broken through the outer defense line and entered the inner defense circle.

Fortunately, there were not many of them, and the inner guard troops responsible for guarding the siege tanks took a lot of effort to kill these fish that slipped through the net.

But when they looked back at the outer defense line, the huge body of the Thunder Beast had covered half of the sky, and it was waving its pair of huge sickles to madly harvest the lives of the heavy armored soldiers.

With a sweep, the Thunder Beast brought dozens of heavy armored vehicles into the air, and then threw them far into the swarm behind it.

The lone heavy armored vehicles were soon overwhelmed by countless insects.

Then the pair of sickles opened to both sides and clamped fiercely.

The dozen heavy armored vehicles sandwiched between the giant sickles were instantly cut in half, and the driver's blood instantly sprayed out from the broken ends.

When the siege tanks, which were highly expected, concentrated their firepower to shoot at the Thunder Beast closest to them, the attack effect had already made the tank drivers doubt their lives.

They used all the powerful bullets, but without exception, they only left a shallow dent on the Thunder Beast's thick outer armor.

There was no damage to the Thunder Beast at all.

Seeing this situation, Chen Cheng had already made up his mind to die: "Father, don't worry about our casualties, carry out orbital bombing on the Zerg."

"Bullshit... I am still so cold-blooded as to abandon my comrades. Find a way to hold back the Thunder Beast... Support will be here soon."

Chen Cheng smiled bitterly. Where was the support?

He really couldn't think of any powerful weapons on the Xuefeng that could deal with the two behemoths in front of him.

At this point, it was impossible not to fight desperately.

"Everyone abandon the inner circle defense and enter the front line. The internal security troops will be responsible for other insects, and the heavy troops will attack the Thunder Beast with all their strength."

The members of the internal security troops wore exoskeleton armor that was extremely thin in the eyes of the Thunder Beast, filling in the front-line positions, and the shaky outer defense line was slightly stabilized.

The freed-up heavy troops concentrated all their firepower to attack a Thunder Beast.

Under the concentrated fire of all the heavy troops, the Thunder Beast was finally damaged.

But everyone despairedly found that the Thunder Beast that had been collected became ferocious, and attacked the human troops in front of it more frantically with red eyes.

After ordering Chen Cheng to defend to the death, Qi Yiming immediately started the decomposition program of the Xuefeng.

It was not that the Xuefeng could not enter the atmosphere of the earth-like planet in front of them, but that the Xuefeng had to provide necessary fire support for several other battlefields in orbit.

It was not only Chen Cheng's heavy troops that were attacked by the swarm of insects, but also ground troops in other directions were besieged by a large number of swarms of insects.

Although the insects that appeared in other battlefields were just some miscellaneous soldiers with low individual combat power, the combat power of the ground troops there was relatively weaker.

Soon the Redemption was separated from the combination of the Xuefeng, and entered the atmosphere of the earth-like planet under the command of Hao Chenqi.

At this time, Chen Cheng's heavy troops had been ravaged by the crazy Thunder Beast, and the outer defense line was completely torn apart.

A large number of springtails and cockroaches entered the inner part of the defense circle and launched a fierce attack on the siege tanks behind the defense line.

On the outer defense line, only dozens of temporary battle groups composed of surviving combatants were making their last desperate struggle.

Suddenly, half of the sky that was originally covered by the thunder beasts completely darkened. When all the surviving soldiers looked up, the Redemption had already arrived above their heads.

Several secondary guns on the ship had aimed at the huge thunder beasts and fired wildly.

The thunder beasts' indestructible biological armor in their eyes just now was instantly penetrated by the high-energy laser beams fired by the Redemption's secondary guns.

Although the thunder beasts were tall, they had no power to fight back against the warships flying in the air. In just one encounter, a thunder beast was smashed by the Redemption's secondary guns. Its huge head, the whole body fell to the ground like a mountain, crushing a large number of insects.

Seeing the thunder beasts that were just showing off in front of them were killed instantly, the morale of the ground troops was greatly boosted. One by one, they launched a desperate charge against the surrounding insects, creating a small counterattack climax.

The Xuefeng in the planetary orbit also provided a new round of covering fire for the ground forces.

The battlefield-blocking orbital bombardment once again interrupted the attack of the Zerg's follow-up troops. With the perfect cover of the Redemption, Chen Cheng's heavy troops soon organized a defense line again.

Chen Cheng roughly counted the number of people. His Raptor Squadron had lost more than 70% of its personnel, and the casualties of the Internal Guard were close to 85%.

Fortunately, after the battle line was stabilized, squadrons from other places were gradually added to the battle line, which made Qi Yiming's heart, which had been hanging, feel relieved.

After the two thunder beasts were solved by the Redemption, the queen seemed to have lost the will to resist, and the attack waves and density of the Zerg slowed down.

The Raptor Squadron then moved forward again with the support of the Redemption.

At the entrance of the cave, after successfully solving hundreds of elite insect individuals, Chen Cheng finally led people into the cave where the queen was hiding.

The inside of the cave was dark and humid, and from time to time, a few larvae were discovered and killed by the soldiers of the Internal Guard.

They advanced about 20 kilometers into the cave before entering an underground cave of tens of thousands of square meters.

The queen they had been chasing was lying on the ground weakly, looking at the humans who entered the cave with desperate eyes.

There were two huge insect eggs around him, and dozens of biomass pipelines were connected to the bottom of the eggs. A large amount of biomass was being transported into the two huge insect eggs through the pipelines.

Chen Cheng and his team had only entered the cave for less than 3 minutes, and the two eggs had grown a circle at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The outer wall of the eggs was very thin, and a little strong light could be used to see the insects inside trying to devour the biomass. One egg was obviously a thunder beast, and the other egg was hatching a very small Leviathan.

No wonder the queen was lying there weakly, it turned out that it was hatching Leviathan.

The queen and the thunder beast must be killed, as for what to do with the Leviathan that was still hatching, Chen Cheng really couldn't make up his mind, so he could only notify Qi Yiming, who was still on the Xuefeng, to come down and take a look.
