Chapter 541: Frustration

Under the guidance of the heavy shield ships ahead, the coalition assault force smoothly advanced to the front of the Zerg troops.

After entering the final assault distance, the unmanned shield ships that were originally blocking the front automatically dispersed to both sides, making way for the assault fleet in the rear.

And the assault camp of the second line also immediately picked up, and the thrusters in the tail suddenly erupted into thick flames, and the speed of the entire front was increased in an instant.

Naturally, the Zerg side would not sit idly by and ignore this, and as soon as they saw that the front end of the coalition fleet began to change formation, the Zerg had already sensed that the attack of this coalition fleet was about to begin.

However, this is not an opportunity for the Zerg.

In the previous attack, the large warships responsible for the defense of the coalition fleet blocked all the attacks launched by the Zerg, and the Zerg really didn't understand that these warships didn't care about their own attacks at all, even if a colleague fleet was destroyed by the attack just now, they wouldn't have the slightest reaction.

Moreover, the defense capabilities of these warships are so strong that the targets that the Zerg really need to attack are almost not affected by the attack.

Now that these obstructive warships have finally dispersed, although this also means that the coalition fleet is about to launch a real attack, it also gives the Zerg a chance to inflict real damage.

Just as the heavy shield ships at the front of the coalition formation moved out of their positions, the Zerg began to attack for a long time.

For a moment, dense beams of energy shot out from the Zerg's camp, heading straight for the gap left by the heavy shield ships, which, according to the Zerg Center's prediction, should be the starting point for the coalition to launch an attack.

Covering the firepower with a large amount of energy attack in advance can not only cause a lot of damage to the coalition forces before the battle officially begins, but also disrupt the assault formation of the coalition fleet, which will help you gain the initiative on the battlefield faster when the battle officially begins.

However, although the Zerg Command Center has already considered this extent, it still underestimates the deployment ability of the coalition fleet.

In the process of directing an assault operation, no commander will easily expose the vulnerability of his own fleet in front of the enemy's position, and if there is, it is likely to be a huge trap.

However, due to the constraints of the conditions, Zhang Yunfan does not have the ability to set up this kind of Zerg who is stubbornly defending the position at this time, but naturally he will not give the Zerg troops a chance at this time.

The reason why the coalition fleet changed its formation was only to remove those heavy shield ships that had no attack ability to make room for the real attack force, but if only a small number of shield ships were left as the glue for the stability of the front, it would also enhance the fleet's combat capability.

When the energy of the Zerg camp attacked the formation, the heavy shield ship that remained behind was immediately ordered to move forward and directly pushed to the front of the assault formation, blocking this round of powerful attacks of the Zerg.

Of course, these heavy shield ships also paid a corresponding price for this.

Due to their thin numbers and the lack of replacement fleets to share the damage, these heavy shield ships that protected the rear assault fleet could only end up being defeated.

But the silence of these fleets was exchanged for the security of the entire assault camp, ensuring the sharpness of the coalition attack.

The wreckage of the battleship was quickly cleared out of the assault channel, and the assault camp of the coalition forces officially began the assault operation, and the entire fleet quickly rushed towards the target area along the assault channel vacated by the forward formation.

At this time, due to the previous energy storage attack, the Zerg army could not immediately launch the next round of attacks at this time, and could only watch these coalition fleets get closer and closer.

However, the Zerg side is not without any means to deal with it.

Originally, the Zerg did not intend to completely annihilate the entire fleet of the Coalition in the previous attack, and for the surviving troops of the Coalition, under the assumption that they would continue to launch a surprise attack, heavy troops were arranged in front of their assault, and all of them were one of the most powerful defensive species in the Zerg.

As long as the coalition assault fleet launches an attack here, their attack will definitely be blocked by this strong defense, and when the time comes, they will gather the surrounding Zerg troops and annihilate these blocked coalition fleets in one fell swoop.

On the battlefield, the coalition assault fleet was moving at high speed in the direction of the previous advance as expected by the Zerg, and soon collided with the thick defensive line carefully prepared by the Zerg.

The high-speed assault fleets that Celestial Shadow and Celestial Decision belong to have a characteristic is that they have super high movement speed, but their firepower configuration and defense capabilities have been slightly reduced, so it is indeed a bit tricky for this difficult formation to break.

Seeing the coalition fleet's plan, the Zerg was overjoyed, and the fleets around the front immediately surrounded it.

However, fearing that these fleets with ultra-high movement speed would break away immediately after the offensive was frustrated, these troops did not attack at the first time, but began to take the initiative to attack, wanting to completely cut off the escape route of these warships.

At this moment, a powerful wave of energy suddenly erupted in the rear of the coalition fleet, and before the Zerg troops who had broken away from the defensive line and prepared to encircle could react, a powerful laser beam attack had already descended on them.

Of course, these are the fire support camps set up by Zhang Yunfan alone, although these warships are only drawn from the two fleets that do not emphasize heavy firepower, Tianying and Tiandu, but it is precisely because of the number that these fleets are demanding in terms of attack intensity that those heavy warships cannot compare.

After a round of attacks, these Zerg troops that broke away from the formation were beaten in pieces, and then under the surprise fleet that approached the front of the formation, these encircling forces were finally completely wiped out.

Unfortunately, due to the blockage of the formation, it was difficult for these rear support firepower to strike at the strongly-defended Zerg positions directly in front of the camp, so it did not really help the assault fleet to break through the formation.

And the Zerg also learned to be obedient this time, and the surrounding Zerg troops no longer broke away from the formation, but on top of the formation, they began to concentrate fire on the coalition assault fleet, but fortunately, because the deployment surface of the coalition assault fleet was small, it was not intensively attacked.

The remaining Zerg who could not attack the assault fleet could only vent their anger on the other fleets of the coalition camp.

During this time, the coalition assault fleet tried several more attacks, but there was still no progress, and the Zerg's strongly-defended front felt no pressure at all.

For a moment, the coalition's assault fleet defense was in a dilemma.
