Chapter 513 The Corrupter
Anderson, who felt disgusted in his heart, quietly asked the hive to continue to retreat and keep its distance from the battlefield.
As the two sides continued to get closer, the exchange of fire officially entered a fierce stage.
In the direction of the Lyman fleet's advance, the Zerg fleet deliberately increased the depth and thickness of the array.
In addition to the continuous impact of the cannon fodder troops, most of the remaining pioneer ships have tacitly slowed down their speed.
Use conventional rays to focus fire to cover the super fortress with non-stop firepower.
More pioneer ships are also approaching from other nearby directions to fill up the loose fleet array.
High-energy rays and light spears are densely interlaced on the front of the battlefield.
The Zerg fleet is suffering huge battle losses every moment, and can only slightly slow down the advancement of the super fortress.
But the fleet that rounded off from the side easily completed the outflanking at almost no cost.
Looking at the overall situation, it can be clearly seen that the pocket array is constantly shrinking.
Even if the elite battleships under Lyman have very good performance, the shortcomings of conventional battleships also exist.
The firing range of the battleship's main gun is limited. If you want to significantly adjust the shooting angle of the main gun, you must make the entire battleship make a moderate turn.
This is simply not possible when maintaining the fleet array and conducting a straight-line advance in a single direction.
If it weren't for the fact that the brainworms were aiming to capture more enemy ships, they deliberately limited the intensity of their firepower.
The continuous high-intensity coverage strikes have now caused huge losses to the small and medium-sized warships on the periphery of the Lyman fleet.
Even so, the rapid deterioration of the war situation still exceeded Lyman's expectations.
The Zerg fleet, which had completed the side flanking attack, brazenly attacked the advancing Lyman fleet.
The small and medium-sized warships on the periphery were already fighting with the Zerg pioneer ships at this time.
The pioneer ship's ray towers all over the ship's hull had no blind spots in the close-range fight.
No matter how maneuverable these elite warships are, how powerful their control skills are, and how thick their defensive shields are, they will never be able to dodge an efficient and coordinated concentrated fire attack.
As more and more small and medium-sized warships are firmly involved.
The entire Lyman fleet array soon became visible to the naked eye.
From a distance, it looks like a cabbage that has been peeled away layer by layer, completely exposing the core of the cabbage.
The high-speed advancing heavy battleship fleet closely followed the [Brilliant] super fortress and lost its outer cover.
The ship's close-in defense guns continued to spit out tongues of flame, interweaving into dense fire nets.
Try to intercept the swarming pioneer ships and avoid chaos in the formation.
However, although the pioneer ship was not equipped with a defensive shield, it even lacked hull armor.
As long as the engine of a ship filled with creep is not damaged, the power system can still operate.
Even if the main frame is twisted and damaged, it can still be prevented from disintegrating by the strong adhesion of the carpet.
If the control room operating the battleship is completely destroyed, a monocle on a nearby battleship can instantly take over the control of the ship.
Even the command team far behind can temporarily take over these out-of-control pioneer ships through the detection mesh in the battlefield.
In fact, many of the pioneer ships of the cannon fodder troops are remotely controlled insect-free ships.
If it weren't for the limited energy of the brainworm farmers, they would not be able to take care of the fine control of all battleships on their own in the ever-changing battlefield.
In order to save the cost of insect power, they have already switched all their pioneer ships to pure insect-free control mode.
One after another, the pioneer ships risked their lives and endured the bombardment. After breaking through the interception fire network, they quickly approached the battleship formation.
This indomitable and fearless momentum sent shivers down the spines of the other ship's personnel.
The death squads are not scary, the scary thing is the death squads that cannot be stopped at all!
Seeing that the pioneer ship had been beaten into a sieve and its hull was completely deformed, it still did not slow down or change direction, and still rushed forward crazily.
"Boom..., boom..."
The pioneer ships that jumped over the firepower network came into close contact with the heavy battleships one after another.
Under the high-speed impact, the strong bacteria blanket could no longer maintain the damaged hull, and the fragmented wreckage suddenly flew away.
However, at the moment before the collision, countless ship-borne Zerg combat units scattered like a swarm of exploded nests.
The first wave of assault pioneer ships, used as cannon fodder, did not carry a diverse swarm of combat bugs.
The only ship-based Zerg unit is the 'Pyroblast Dragonfly' that has been upgraded many times.
Or, it can no longer be called a 'Pyroblast Dragonfly'.
Compared with the original version, the appearance of the latest improved version of 'Pyroblast Dragonfly' has changed greatly.
It is more appropriate to say that they are using the "Pyroblast Dragonfly" gene as a template and redesigning the new combat unit.
In order to adapt to the void combat environment without gravity and air resistance, the 'Pyroblast Dragonfly' canceled its original three pairs of wings.
Relying entirely on the innate abilities of void creatures, they move like swimming fish.
The new combat function positioning has replaced their bodies with thick chitin armor to strengthen their defense.
It can be regarded as a complete escape from the original fate of being broken at the touch of a touch.
The thick long tail behind the buttocks used to maintain balance has also been replaced by tentacle-like limbs.
The various functions integrated inside all enhance their advantages in movement speed and flexibility.
The heads are equipped with claw-like joints and sharp mouthparts, which help them forcefully tear open the shield of the battleship, or adhere to the surface of the ship's hull.
The biggest change is the size.
Now, these guys can grow to more than 15 meters, and the lava core in their bodies has reached a diameter of three meters to match the body.
The power of the energy stored inside after the explosion is geometrically increased compared to the past.
Not only that, the damage effect of their self-detonation is no longer a simple high-temperature killing, but a highly corrosive energy shock.
It is completely different from the original Flame Dragonfly, and it is a biological version of a heavy missile.
Now, it may be more appropriate to call it [Corruptor]. (With pictures)
Corruptor
The first wave of cannon fodder fleet's desperate advance is to launch these Corruptors at close range.
