Chapter Seventy-One: Soul Eater
Hearing the sea shark's order, the well-trained fleet immediately went into action, without the slightest fear of the wreckage and insects that covered the sky and the sun.
Yang Jingzhong didn't have anything to do, so he took the binoculars and looked at the enemy not far away. Somewhat unexpectedly, he still only saw a few basic units of the Zerg in the entrance exam, and did not have many special units that he knew.
In this regard, Wolf's explanation is that in order to reduce the difficulty of the novice star area, the Zerg only have these basic units, but usually the Zerg harass players very frequently, and can usually cause great damage to players who are not fully prepared.
"Look at it like this, the Zerg is estimated to have ten integrated troops (in the game, an integrated unit of the Zerg is composed of ten Eritan 200,000 scorpions, and the Zerg force of this size can roughly tie with a provincial fleet, but in actual combat, there is rarely a situation where a provincial fleet and an integrated Zerg force fight each other)." The marauder stood beside Yang Jingzhong, and there was already a slight tremor in his voice.
"What? Are you scared? Or do you have a phobia of intensity? Yang Jingzhong put down the binoculars and saw that there were already dense beads of sweat on the heads of the marauders, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
"I'm not scared, I don't feel comfortable thinking about the scars left by my friend's dad after being attacked by scorpions." The Marauder involuntarily shrunk his neck, "I heard that this game even has wounds and pains, and to be honest, instead of being so badly injured, it is better to let me enable remote cloning." ”
While the two were talking, the five Sun-class battleships had already broken away from the wormhole's shackles and opened their defensive fields near the wormhole. The shield condensed by the Scorching Sun class was far more solid than the Haoyue class.
The movement here also attracted the attention of the bugs, and the swarm that was still attacking the remnants of the fleet from a distance immediately divided most of its forces and turned around and rushed towards this side.
"The beam cannon is concentrated on attacking Eritan, each ship releases Vulture-class fighters, and the close defense cannon is ready to teach the bugs a lesson!"
As the order was given, dozens of fiery and huge pillars of light shot towards Eritan, instantly breaking ten Eritan into pieces of minced flesh. The swarm seemed to be caught off guard by this firepower, and it was supposed to be the scorpion swarm acting as a meat shield to consume the fleet's first round of defensive firepower, but this time the scorpion swarm did not wait for the scorpion swarm and rushed directly towards the fleet.
More than 3,000 detonation insects spun at an unimaginable high speed and rushed towards the fleet, unlike the detonation insects that Yang Jingzhong encountered in the exam, the defense ability of these detonation insects has obviously risen a notch, and the small laser cannon hitting them has nothing to do, and the killing effect of fragments is not very ideal.
Even so, the fleet still killed most of the detonation insects, and only a few dozen of them smashed on the shield, but the power of the explosion only blew up a few ripples in the shield, and the people on the battleship did not feel the shock at all.
"Sea shark, is there a gravitational wave shield?" The marauder threw down the binoculars and walked up to the sea shark on his own initiative.
"Gravitational wave shield?" The sea shark frowned, "What do you want that thing for?" ”
"If you just open the defensive force field, it's completely the impact of the hard seismic blaster. Admittedly, the shields of your five Sun-class battleships are very strong enough to withstand the current attack, but your shields are still rapidly decreasing. If you can use the Gravitational Wave Shield to reduce the speed of the Retarded Shock Blaster, the durability of the defense field will increase significantly. ”
The sea shark stared at the marauder, neither giving an order nor scolding him.
"If you don't believe me, forget it, anyway, it's your fleet that is lost, I don't feel distressed." The Marauder shook his head and turned to step down from the podium. "Captain." The sea shark's gaze was still fixed on the marauder, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Here." An officer with two bars and three stars on his shoulder immediately replied.
"From now on, the command of the fleet is handed over to the marauders!"
"What?!"
At this time, not only the captain was dumbfounded, but the marauder and Yang Jingzhong were also dumbfounded, it was just a suggestion, how could it be transferred to the command.
"Aren't you a self-proclaimed defense genius, now is your time to perform." The sea shark slapped the marauder's arm hard, "If you can't hold out until all the ships are out of the wormhole, roll up and get out of the way." ”
"Yes, mission guaranteed!" The marauder's brain didn't work much anymore, and he just nodded vigorously.
"Hey, aren't you afraid of burying your entire fleet here?" Yang Jingzhong watched the sea shark walk down the podium and stand next to him, shaking his head with a wry smile.
"Hey, what am I afraid of, if he really can't stand it, my fleet won't lose much." The sea shark felt Yang Jingzhong's puzzled gaze, so he continued to explain, "I haven't penetrated into the interference range of the mother worm, and now I can't stand it, I just turn around and run, it's a big deal to lose some cruisers and destroyers to save the main force." What's more......"
The sea shark leaned his head to Yang Jingzhong's ear and said in a mosquito-loud voice: "I can still help you detect this so-called mainstay, isn't this a double win?" ”
"Okay, everything is arranged by the big guy." Yang Jingzhong patted his brain, headache, the cruiser that was used carefully as the main force in his place was just a consumable item for the car in the Sea Shark.
The Marauder walked over to the astrolabe, his finger quickly swiping over the fleet map, and the ship model spun like a spinning top.
His palm pressed on the model of the ship that rotated wildly, and when the ship stopped, his fingers flexibly assigned a good position to each battleship, forming the five corners of the pentagon, and the cruiser that was comfortable out of the wormhole was evenly distributed to the boundary of the pentagon, consolidating the defensive force field formed by the battleship. As for the two directions in which the upper and lower defenses are relatively weak, the lack of defense is made up for with firepower.
At the same time, he also dispatched fifteen Haoyue-class battleships as mobile troops, and if the Zerg concentrated their forces on which corner, these fifteen Haoyue-class cruisers would rush to reinforcements as soon as possible.
"Has the spherical formation been eliminated now?" Yang Jingzhong glanced at the astrolabe and said with a little surprise.
"It's not like elimination, it's just that the fleet is not fully configured now, and it is not easy to allocate ships using a spherical array, so his division is indeed suitable for the current situation. However, at present, there are indeed many people who are experimenting with defensive formations other than spherical formations, but with little success. By far the most commonly used formation is still a spherical formation. The sea shark explained.
The Shock Worm suffered a big loss, but it was not completely wiped out, and the remnants of about 1,000 Shock Worms retreated to the rear of the scorpion swarm, preparing to follow after the scorpion attack.
As the formation of the battleships changed, so did the way the bugs attacked. Tens of thousands of scorpion swarms are divided into two directions, up and down, and the target of the attack is the wormhole protected by the center of the fleet.
The gravitational wave shield acts first, slowing down the scorpions. The flanked fleet immediately returned fire with ferocious fire. The Zerg's two-sided attack method is conducive to the development of the fleet's firepower. Unlike the spherical array firepower is very evenly distributed, whether the bugs attack from above or from below, it is equivalent to the impact of the fleet lined up in a plane, and every cannon of the battleship will not be wasted, and the bugs that are concentrated and rushed down like arrows will be flanked by the Sun-class battleships from the five corners and the Haoyue-class cruisers from the five sides.
The outcome of the battle was not unexpected, and the attack of the scorpion swarm and the detonator was completely destroyed. Due to the hysteresis of gravitational waves, the queue that should have been slender strips was compressed into a veritable spindle, and the huge density light in the middle was a continuous beam of light from the scorching sun, which could sweep through the entire line of bugs.
The bugs failed in the first wave of attacks, and immediately realized that the enemy in front of them was quite well-equipped, not the previous rabble, and that they could not annihilate the Sea Shark fleet before they were all freed from the wormhole, and they had to regroup their forces to attack.
The rest of the Zerg attacking troops all retreated, and in an instant, the originally impermeable line of sight became clear again.
"Wow, the color of this star is snow-white." When the "black fog" recedes, the first thing that catches your eye is the glittering star in the distance, which is much brighter than the other nearby stars because of its distance.
"Don't patronize and enjoy the scenery, there will be a lot of enemies behind." The sea shark snatched the telescope from Yang Jingzhong's hand, "I suddenly feel that that guy is much more useful than you, a provincial fleet to replace him, why not?" ”
"It's only a provincial fleet, you can use it to fool the beggars." Yang Jingzhong couldn't help but roll his eyes, really, a provincial fleet wants to buy someone from my alliance, dreaming?
"Those five, five are the most expensive."
"Impossible, if you can take out five provincial fleets to buy my brother, then believe me and you won't have an opinion if I raise the price again, right? Why don't you give fifteen, and I'll definitely sell fifteen. Yang Jingzhong got off the face of a profiteer.
"Count it, if I really send out fifteen provincial fleets, you will definitely have to raise the price again, and in the end, I am afraid that you will not be willing to put the entire alliance into it."
Yang Jingzhong smiled, but he didn't deny it.
"So, what's next for us?" Yang Jingzhong glanced at the star map, the fleet was basically out of the shackles of the wormhole, and it only needed to assemble a little before it could move forward.
"Our goal is to occupy the fourth planet in our current system, this planet is called the Soul Eater, as long as we capture the Spirit Eater, our mission will be successfully completed." The sea shark took over control of the star map and showed a rough model of the star system.
"Soul Eater? How did you choose such a ghost name, it sounds weird. The marauder walked up to Yang Jingzhong's side, his brow furrowed.
"Because the prototype of this planet is Sengerman Star, where the fleet of country Z was greatly injured by the vitality of the Zerg ten years ago."
