Chapter 512: Countermeasures 2
Under the coordination of multiple Cerebrates, each Zerg fleet also showed excellent collaboration.
In the process of rapid advance, countless pioneer ships quickly completed their position adjustments and soon formed a huge pocket formation, heading straight for the Lyman fleet.
"After knowing that ultra-long-range rays are ineffective, are you finally willing to face them head-on?"
After noticing the movements of the Zerg fleet, Lyman looked calm, as if everything was under control, and he ordered unhurriedly:
"Each ship activates its defensive shields at full power, and its main guns are charged and on standby!"
The radar system equipped on his warships is not enough to achieve target locking at such a distance.
If you fire now, let alone destroy the enemy ship, it will be difficult to hit accurately. It is a complete waste of energy reserves.
Looking at the swarm of pioneer ships, Lyman, who looked calm on the surface, couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After the opponent saw the power of [Guardian Glory], they were willing to give up their absolute range advantage and launch an attack brazenly.
It was one of the easiest situations Lyman expected to deal with.
[Brilliant] Every time a large-scale divine spell is launched, a massive amount of divine energy crystals are consumed.
The existing energy reserves of the expedition fleet, where supplies cannot be obtained in time, make it difficult to maintain the effects of large-scale magical spells for a long time.
Moreover, the principle of [Guardian Glory] does not absorb energy as Anderson guessed. It mainly relies on energy hedging and mutual annihilation.
While withstanding the attack, the amount of divine energy crystals consumed will also skyrocket.
Faced with endless ray strikes, [Guardian Glory] will reach its upper limit sooner or later.
If the opponent continued to consume the enemy at a distance according to the previous attack intensity, that would be the last thing Lyman wanted to see.
"Judging from the coordination of these advancing fleets, that special individual has indeed moved to this battlefield."
"The fleet's course remains unchanged and continues to pursue the nest."
"After the engagement, focus the fire on the area directly in front, and we will directly penetrate the opponent's array!"
Lyman did not want to get involved with the pioneer ship group. His target was only that special individual.
If you delay for too long, if the special individual God wants runs away again, it will only be more troublesome later.
The warships on both sides were speeding up like crazy, like two hungry beasts meeting on a narrow road, with no way out.
Only by facing the threat of death can we have a chance to survive.
Not only Lyman's subordinates turned pale at this moment, but even the single-eyed insect crew members in the pioneer ship were all frightened to death when faced with this battle.
Single-eyed insects who can successfully graduate have always been afraid of death and full of desire for survival.
If it weren't for the absolute suppression of the brain worms, these cowards would have abandoned the ship and run away.
As the distance got closer, the Zerg pioneer ship rushing forward suddenly launched an attack without any warning.
The mushroom-like umbrella-shaped bow shrank rapidly, revealing an ever-expanding ray tower.
At this moment, a large number of red-eyed barnacles almost completely drained the thick fungi covering the bow of the ship.
Violent energy gathered in their bodies, until the moment before their bodies were destroyed, extremely violent energy burst out with their lives.
The high temperature and violent particles released by the scarlet rays caused the space to appear faintly distorted.
After blasting out high-energy rays, the front part of the pioneer ship had completely evaporated.
If the hull of the ship were not filled with germ blankets and had excellent heat insulation properties, most of the single-eyed bugs and combat bug swarms located in the middle and rear of the hull would have been wiped out.
This is certainly not a conventional tactic for pioneer ships.
They are the cannon fodder units launched by the brainworm farmers to launch suicide attacks in order to avoid greater battle losses.
Super long-range strike, the killing effect is not ideal?
Then get closer and then fight!
Even if the damage effect is not good, long-range attacks cannot be completely abandoned.
After carefully evaluating the effective range of the Lyman fleet, the brainworm farmers specifically set the most advantageous attack distance based on the performance of their warships.
Relying on its longer range and taking the lead in firing, the Zerg pioneer ship firmly held the upper hand advantage.
A life-threatening tactic of injuring yourself first before injuring the enemy, coupled with a greatly reduced attack range.
This wave of attacks has an energy level and intensity that far exceeds the previous ones, and it can be regarded as a high-energy ray output close to the face.
A large number of scarlet rays, after arriving at the giant obelisk-shaped fortress where divine light circulated, were quietly annihilated in the thick golden glow.
It was silent, without any ripples.
The brainworms who were monitoring the real-time battle situation were slightly disappointed when they saw this behind the scenes, but they were not discouraged.
The initial target of the attack was not this mobile fortress.
The frontal troops took the lead in firing, which seemed to sound the clarion call for war.
More Zerg pioneer ships began to launch scarlet ray strikes at the Lyman fleet from the side.
The Zerg warships with absolute numerical superiority were in the process of surrounding them from different directions.
Instead of focusing on the frontmost super fortress, the [Brilliant], the attack targets other battleships in the rear.
"Boom boom boom......"
The small and medium-sized battleships outside the array instantly exploded into brilliant fireworks after being hit.
The images captured by the mesh worms are reflected in the scarlet pupils of the brain worms in real time through the consciousness network.
"Haha, it really works!"
"Let me just say, if such a large-scale defense method is spread to each warship, there will definitely be a limit to what it can withstand."
"Since there is a weak point, let's open a breakthrough from here!"
…………
While the brainworms were cheering, Lehman in the [Glorious] had a blank expression on his face.
The runes engraved on small and medium-sized warships were limited, and he had long been prepared to lose some of them.
It was not until the Zerg's frontal fleet entered the range of its main guns that Lehman coldly ordered:
"Fire!"
The heavy battleships following the [Glorious] opened fire first.
The barrels full of complex divine patterns, in the midst of violent humming, the dazzling spears surrounded by electric light burst out of the barrels.
The dense streams of light flashed from the position of the fleet and hit the advancing pioneer ship.
When the light spears exploded, the violent energy and scorching high temperature annihilated everything in the explosion area.
Even the pioneer ships affected were crushed into dust in the expanding shock wave.
"Fuck the big slot!"
Seeing such a killing effect, the brainworm farmers were all shocked.
But after he realized what was happening, he was not angry but happy.
"We've made it, we've made it, we're going to get rich!"
"Yes, look at the power, these warships are definitely top-notch configurations."
"Not to mention capturing them completely, even if we salvage the wreckage, the precious metals alone are worth a lot of money!"
"Let's let the small combat units contain the mobile fortress, it can't escape anyway."
"That's right, take care of the warships first, and save the hard bones for last."
"Let the cannon fodder troops stick to them and try to break into the warships to fight boarding battles!"
The brainworm farmers found that considerable profits were in front of them, and their subjective initiative was instantly stimulated.
They began to actively control their fleets, and the offensive rhythm of the swarms immediately took another step forward.
Feeling the excitement of the neighbors in the consciousness network.
Anderson, who had been slacking off, had a constipated expression on his face.
After observation, he could see that the target of the Lehman fleet was his hive.
Even when facing attacks from all directions, the other side did not make any move to adjust its course.
"The idiot on the other side is trying to get me at all costs!"
"I just conducted a deterrent interception."
"Are you really going to chase me?"
