Chapter 386 Trap 2
As long as they were not killed instantly, their injuries had almost no effect on the combat power of the killers due to the efficient operation of their adrenal glands.
They swung their sickles wildly, chopped the mechas in front of them into pieces, or even tore them apart.
If it weren't for the large number of void fighters, they could provide fire support to their comrades who were driving mechas from a distance with their high-speed advance characteristics.
When the mecha troops were fighting with the killers, it was almost a one-sided massacre.
As the interception troops of the lizardmen fell into a melee, the suppression firepower of the entire outer defense line continued to decrease.
More and more killers broke through the crossfire zone and joined the battlefield.
Buddy, the fleet commander in the flagship, stared at the three-dimensional star map projection, his face becoming more and more solemn.
The green light spots representing their own interception troops in the projection were dimming and disappearing in large areas every minute and every second.
The marked real-time data was constantly jumping, showing a cliff-like downward trend.
The defense line built by mechas and battle machines was like a circle of marshmallows that was constantly dissolving, shrinking inwards rapidly.
However, the number of red light spots representing the Zerg units was still increasing, becoming denser and brighter.
The Zerg looked like a surging scarlet wave.
Buddy knew that the brightening of the light spots in the projection meant that the vital signs of these void creatures had significantly increased in energy levels during the battle.
This was a behavior of frantically extracting the essence of life in a short period of time to improve physical functions and combat power, which was completely a desperate act.
Even though the fleet in the rear was still pouring firepower continuously.
But the scarlet wave was always covered by a large amount of firepower, and when a gap appeared, it would be instantly filled again by other Zerg units around.
"The interception forces retreated in order, using frigates and destroyers as nodes to rebuild the defense line."
Seeing that the battle situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable, Buddy had to order adjustments to the formation.
The fleet only had over 10 million mechas and fighters, and faced with the Zerg swarm that had surged to nearly 2 billion, it was already at an absolute numerical disadvantage.
Even if the combat loss ratio was more than ten times, he couldn't afford it.
Moreover, Buddy knew that with the rapid casualties of fighters and mechas, the number of interception forces would drop sharply, and the enemy would sooner or later break into the defense line formed by frigates and destroyers.
Now shrinking the defense line and reducing the defense surface can also maintain the intensity of fire suppression as much as possible.
And with the flexible frigates as cover, the interception forces can also avoid the frontal impact of the Zerg swarm and greatly reduce casualties.
Even the smallest frigate, with its heavy hull armor and defensive force field, can effectively block the lightning attack of the Thunder Dragon.
Even if the Zerg swarm breaks into the defense array, fighters and mechas can still play a high mobility and fight the enemy between the warships.
Suppressing his uneasiness, Buddy chose the tactic he thought was most suitable.
But before long, the entire fleet paid a heavy price for his wrong decision.
The swarming killers were originally chasing the retreating mecha troops.
But after approaching the frigate and destroyer formation, they quickly changed their target.
In the consciousness network, a simple command from the brain worm made them instantly give up the small enemy units they had been chasing.
Countless killers quickly changed their movement paths, no longer paying attention to the fighters and mechas, but directly rushed to the nearest warship.
The densely packed killers, despite the bombardment of the warship's secondary guns, surrounded the frigate, which was only more than 200 meters long.
They rushed to raise their huge sickles, the divine patterns on the blades suddenly lit up, and then slashed fiercely at the outer armor of the warship.
The high-frequency oscillating divine sickle cut through the defense field in just a few breaths, and then fell on the hull.
The heavy outer armor was like a coconut shell split by a sickle. As long as the force was strong enough, no matter how thick the alloy armor was, it could not withstand the cutting of the high-frequency vibration divine blade.
In less than a minute, the outer shell of the warship was cut into hideous cracks.
The airflow rushing out from the inside had no effect on the huge killers at all.
Instead, the breath of life carried in the airflow constantly stimulated their killing desire.
With the tearing of the giant claws, the killer dug a big hole in the crack in the blink of an eye.
Then they couldn't wait to squeeze into it from the hole and break into the warship.
"Ang............."
A violent roar sounded in the warship.
Their rapidly opening nostrils finally smelled the rich breath of life, which made the killers immediately excited.
The giant beast wielding the sickle began to run wildly in the ship, rushing all the way.
The structures inside the ship groaned in a dull manner, and everything that blocked them was like tofu in front of the high-frequency vibration of the divine blade.
At the hatch at the end of the target of the killer, a large number of soldiers wearing life support devices and equipped with power armor were holding various weapons in fear and madly shooting at the terrifying beast that was crushing them.
However, these small-caliber light weapons could not cause any substantial damage to the blood-colored scales of the killer.
The distance of dozens of meters was almost reached in an instant.
These soldiers inside the ship did not even have time to think about turning around and running away.
The killer who had arrived in front of him had already swung the huge sickle forward fiercely...
Without any room to evade, the soldiers at the front exploded into a bloody mist amid a harsh buzzing sound.
The soldiers who were a little further behind also had their internal organs shattered by the spreading high-frequency shockwaves.
For creatures of small size and substandard body strength, the killing effect and range of the high-frequency shock blade are undoubtedly extremely powerful.
The killer, who scored a goal with one strike, lowered his head in an excited roar, stretched out his long tongue with barbs, and rolled it on the ground.
In an instant, the broken corpses of the enemy and even the blood on the ground were rolled into his mouth.
The Zerg who had just woken up from hibernation always found it difficult to resist the desire to eat.
Especially for those who had never eaten anything other than fungal blankets since birth, facing this snack with a strong biological smell and bloody taste.
Even if the battle was not over yet, he couldn't help but take a bite first.
Such a horrible scene would be extremely terrifying for most intelligent creatures.
As intelligent beings, the Dragon Vein Lizardmen were obviously no exception.
The surviving soldiers who witnessed this scene all turned pale at this moment, and moved their trembling feet backwards at the same time.
Even if there was a leader behind them who had the power to execute them on the spot, it would not stop them from retreating.
