Chapter 384: Lurking Swarm of Insects

However, the development of the battle situation was once again beyond Buddy's expectations.

The Zerg warships at the front, carrying a large amount of artillery fire, showed no signs of firing after approaching the flagship.

Instead, they seemed to ignore the flagship, and with a small turn, they crashed into the nearby heavy cruiser array.

The Zerg fleets that followed continuously, under the heavy firepower bombardment of the cruiser formation, kept approaching, posing as if they were going to fight a boarding battle.

"Uh............."

Buddy was stunned by the Zerg fleet's coquettish operation.

Although these heavy cruisers were not equipped with defensive divine rune arrays, the large defensive force field transmitters they carried had an output power far beyond that of small and medium-sized warships.

"What on earth is the other side doing?"

Just when Buddy was surprised, the Zerg warships, which had been damaged by more than half, finally completed the established goal of breaking into the enemy formation.

Although Cleaver's fleet has more than 10,000 ships, the majority are small and medium-sized destroyers and frigates, with a number of nearly 9,000.

Among them, 6,000 frigates are located in the two wings of the fleet array.

The remaining 3,000 Zerg warships, mixed in the center of Cleaver's fleet, have a local numerical advantage.

The Zerg fleet, which is full of cruisers, has countless sacs on the fungal blankets covering all Zerg warships before Buddy can figure out what they are going to do.

Then the sacs broke, and the ejection hatch that had been opened was faintly visible in the blood mist that gushed out.

Tens of millions of fire-explosive dragonflies shot out with the buzzing sound of high-speed catapults.

These precision-guided flesh bombs rushed to the nearest enemy warships immediately after arriving in the void.

In just a moment, the violent flames and shock waves swept across the entire central fleet with Buddy's flagship as the center.

The scope of this explosion was no less than the main gun salvo of the Cleaver cruiser formation before.

That was the cruiser main gun, which took five minutes to charge to reach its maximum power.

Although the double defense barrier on the flagship resisted the high temperature and explosion, the continuous high-intensity shock waves.

Still caused the entire giant ship to vibrate violently during the shock wave transmission.

The gravity mimicry equipment in the ship failed several times during this violent vibration.

Except for Cleaver's god phantom, which was not affected, the members on the ship who were caught off guard were thrown all over the place.

In the projection light screen, most of the optical detection images first flashed a dazzling white light, and then automatically switched to a dark background, and a prompt box popped up.

"The detection equipment has been damaged, and the signal input is interrupted."

After regaining his footing, Buddy hurriedly asked the communications officer to switch the projection to the observation screen of the frigate formation.

At this time, the entire airspace has returned to darkness, and the flames and shock waves have disappeared without a trace.

Only the large amount of wreckage that spread throughout the airspace and drifted away rapidly in different directions under inertia proved that the previous explosion was not an illusion.

More than 3,000 Zerg warships have all sunk, turning into wreckage mixed with pieces of broken fungal blankets.

The situation of the Longwa fleet has improved a lot.

Except for a few ships in the core area of ​​the explosion, most of the remaining heavy cruisers are still relatively intact.

It's just that the defense field generators of most of the warships were overloaded instantly and were seriously damaged.

Buddy frowned as he looked at the quickly summarized battle damage data.

But Clever's face was full of contempt.

"The other side is really ruthless, but I still underestimated the difference in strength between the two sides."

"Want to fight to the death? It's just a meaningless struggle."

Seeing the attitude of the gods, Buddy opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't speak after all.

"It's really not right."

He didn't think that the other side would not take the next step after suffering such heavy casualties.

Just when Buddy hesitated, the communications officer who returned to his position suddenly cried out in shock.

"This..., Your Excellency the Commander, there is an emergency!"

In the three-dimensional star map of the projection screen, the surrounding airspace that had been checked by the unmanned reconnaissance device had now appeared in large red blocks.

The communications officer immediately projected the real-time images sent back by the unmanned reconnaissance device onto the light screen.

The originally dark and quiet void was now boiling, and the densely packed Zerg units completely occupied the entire screen on the light screen.

In the gaps that occasionally appeared between the Zerg swarms, they could see more Zerg combat units rising into the air from the fragments of the God's Domain in the Star Shattering Belt.

Not only were there the self-explosive insects that they had just seen, but there were also two larger and more ferocious monsters.

"Damn it! These monsters are all void creatures!"

Buddy had seen the battle footage of the scout fleet before and knew that the other side had creatures that could fight in the void.

But he had never thought that the number of the other side's void creatures would be so large.

The phantom of the god of Clever beside him had also stopped smiling at this time, and his expression looked very ugly.

Buddy, whose back was instantly soaked with cold sweat, had no time to guess the thoughts of the gods at this time. He hurriedly gave orders to the intelligence officer:

"Quick, turn on the life scanning equipment at full power!"

After a few seconds, the large-scale life scanning detection was completed.

On the three-dimensional star map cast by the dome of the bridge, the newly appeared red blocks quickly turned into dense life signal light spots.

The real-time number marked with it is close to one billion, and it is still skyrocketing.

After getting this result, Buddy made a prompt decision and immediately shouted to the communications officer: "Order the entire fleet to turn around, shrink the defense array, and retreat immediately!"

Hearing Buddy's order, Clive raised his eyebrows slightly, pursed his thin lips but did not speak.

Buddy, who suddenly felt a chill on his back, did not care to think too much at this time and continued to issue orders.

"After completing the formation change, the cruiser main guns are charged and these damn monsters are launched with long-range firepower!"

"The destroyer formation, give priority to the surrounding divine domain fragments, and carry out firepower coverage!"

"The entire fleet ejects fighters and mecha units to intercept the raid of small units!"

Buddy's response strategy is simple. He plans to keep a distance first, and if he can't beat them, he can evacuate at full speed.

Even if there are many ferocious monsters, as long as they are not allowed to get close to their own fleet, the threat they cause is very limited.

The firepower coverage of the destroyer formation on the fragments of the divine domain can wipe out all the monsters that have not yet appeared nearby.

Even if these small units adopt the desperate charge tactics, there are large-scale fighters and mecha troops to intercept them.

In his prediction, the most optimistic situation is that his own warships may be able to rely on the advantage of ultra-long-range firepower to continuously cause damage to these ferocious monsters.
