Chapter Fifty-Six: A New Swarm
The original dreadnought mechs were intended for dying space marines.
The dreadnought is their new life, their body, but also their grave, their coffin, the living nervous system and electronic biochemical fibers inside the dreadnought completely connect the human nerves with the magnetic muscles of the dreadnought, once a creature is connected to the dreadnought, then he will never be able to leave the metal womb of the dreadnought, his fate is to fight in this walking coffin until the last moment.
Although the technology of the electronic nerve bundle has improved a lot since then, it is still difficult to separate the human body from the mecha once the connection is completed.
Because this is the creation of a mechanical ascension.
The warriors who were selected to be attached to the Dreadnought mechs all underwent a ritual of 'pure spiritual purification', which meant that they no longer had physical desires, and their food could only swallow the nutrient solution rationed by the outside world.
The sense of pain is weakened, the senses are strengthened, the life is long, and the physical body gradually degrades, but the spirit will further merge with the dreadnought.
The final shape is one of the creations of the mechanical ascension.
A top-notch warrior with a human mind, rich in combat awareness, but without any physical weaknesses.
Only by gradually abandoning all physiological needs can we achieve true mechanical ascension!
As for the last step of the mechanical ascension, it was to completely seal the brain soul consciousness into this terrifying mechanical can, but the price paid by the [mechanical mind] was too great, and even the ancient lost empire did not carry out the final procedure of the mechanical ascension.
Of the three stages of mechanical ascension, the Dreadnought is the last step of the first stage to create a war machine.
Rumble!
While Su Ziyu was observing these dreadnought mechas, the fierce confrontation between them and the orc leader had already begun.
Completely different from the exoskeleton armor worn by other soldiers, the combat ability shown by the dreadnought mecha is completely one in the sky and one underground, obviously the appearance of the mecha is quite bulky, but the speed at which they move is quite amazing, with the help of the rocket thruster behind them, the dreadnought mecha almost instantly turned into an afterimage and rushed towards the green-skinned giant in front.
Bang!
The collision that occurred at the moment of the hand-to-hand exchange produced a shock wave that directly shook the nearby soldiers to the ground.
The Dreadnought weighs only about 12 tons, which can be said to be quite light in many heavy armors, but the energy device used inside it is a miniature reactor, not a nuclear battery with a conventional heavy exoskeleton, so you can imagine how terrifying their power burst is.
A power sword with a dark blue electromagnetic beam slashed at the throat of the green-skinned giant, and the moment it touched the opponent's body, the energy collision visible to the naked eye erupted into a dazzling electric light.
Blood splattered.
THE POWER SWORD BROKE THROUGH THE ORC LEADER'S WAAAGH FORCE FIELD, LEAVING A DEEP WOUND ON ITS NECK.
But the orc leader didn't care about this, it reached out and wiped the blood on its neck, and it was visible to the naked eye that the flesh was quickly regenerated and healed, and the little organs exposed on the chest were completely different from those of humans, not a normal lung structure, but a spor-like thoracic body.
"The Dreadnought!" The old memories of the orc leader were awakened, and it seemed that it had fought such an iron lump.
In some distant galaxy, it was just a bomb boy at that time.
Because it was lucky enough to kill one such dreadnought, it directly advanced to become the orc boss, and since then it has been out of control, all the way forward, and also destroyed another orc that competed with it for power, and finally grew into a powerful orc boss.
The power claw on its left hand was modified from parts from the Dreadnought.
“WAAAGH!!!”
The orc leader raised his head and let out a roar, and in the next second, even Su Ziyu felt an obvious spiritual power, but it was not real spiritual energy, but the embodiment of the orc WAAAGH force field, and its performance in the material plane was extremely close to spiritual energy.
One foot out.
The resulting shockwave instantly shook the nearby soldiers away, and even the steel body of the dreadnought mech shook.
- Trample!
- Charge!
The figure of the green-skinned giant almost turned into an afterimage and rushed up, its head position was an armored helmet that looked a little wild and simple, and there was a sharp metal impact angle at the top, when it collided with the dreadnought mecha in front of him, it instantly broke through the extremely hard armor and pierced directly into the shoulder of the dreadnought, accompanied by the terrifying kinetic energy impact, the dreadnought mecha was directly picked up by it, and after more than ten meters in the air, it fell to the ground with a bang, and there was no more movement.
At this time, the other people nearby saw the blood stains on the power claw of the orc leader's left hand, and it actually stabbed into the cockpit with its sharp power claw at the moment of impact.
"It's too weak!"
"You are not fearless! ......" The orc opened his mouth to utter a strange language, but everyone present could understand it, even those watching the projection of the whole system.
It's the power of psionic energy.
In response, it was greeted by a series of dazzling laser beams, and almost at the moment when the orc leader attacked, the surrounding dreadnoughts were also recharged, and these old dreadnoughts were equipped with weapons such as multi-tube hot melt guns and twin laser cannons.
Conventional exoskeleton armor simply can't provide enough energy, only the reactor of the dreadnought can supply enough energy.
Boom Boom!
The beam emitted by the hot melt gun caused the temperature in the area to rise rapidly, and when it reached a certain critical point, it directly produced a large-scale explosion, and the penetration of the dual laser cannon was quite amazing, and the energy beam directly left a bottomless pit on the ground.
“WAAAGH!!!”
The greenskin-skinned giant's slightly mutilated burly body burst out of the flames of the explosion, and it swung its serrated blade and turned to pounce on the nearest dreadnought, which also ejected its power sword in an instant, and the rocket thruster behind it burst into flames, and the two figures staggered across a distance of hundreds of meters in less than a second.
Poof.
Green blood poured out of the orc leader's chest like a fountain, and a shocking scar on the outer armor nearly ten centimeters thick soaked the ground, and its figure slowly fell, its extremely strong body twitched and gradually died.
The other side.
The figure of the dreadnought froze in place, and then it slowly fell to one knee as if it had lost its strength, and its head, completely protected by metal, fell little by little, and finally its massive body collapsed with a bang.
There was a dead silence on the battlefield.
The other dreadnoughts silently walked towards their comrades in front of them, reached out to lift his steel body, and walked to the rear of the battlefield with his corpse and grave.
Fight like Kilkenny cats.
Su Ziyu silently looked at the holographic projection in front of him, and muttered in his heart: "Legendary power......"
This orc leader is undoubtedly the strength of the legendary rank, and those warriors equipped with dreadnought mechs have also reached the legendary combat power. However, it is different from other worlds, because the weapons in this world are so destructive that even if there is a battle between the most resistant legendary warriors, the victory or defeat may only be in an instant.
Whether it is the terrifying brute force and WAAAGH force field of the orc leader, or the super explosive power and power sword of the dreadnought mecha, the destructive power generated in an instant is quite amazing.
This kind of battle is completely a wrong step, life and death are divided!
………………
The first wave of tentative attacks by the Orcs was eventually blocked.
However, the brief victory did not delight anyone, as they found that the enemy was still as strong as the legend had been.
Ordinary orc boys can deal with three or four astral armies even with machetes, and as for the other bomb boys, psionic kids, orc bosses, etc., it makes the soldiers of the empire feel a huge pressure. THE WEIRD WAAAGH FORCE FIELD WAS NATURALLY ONE THING, BUT THE TERRIFYING PHYSICAL FITNESS OF THE ORCS WAS JUST AS SHOCKING.
To use a simple example, even the most ordinary orc machete kid can resist a wave of heavy machine gun fire with his physical body.
"Dissect their corpses."
"Collect weapons on the battlefield and bring them back to the lab together for analysis." Empress Isabella said calmly, keeping her eyes fixed on the sky.
The orc's weapons are extremely crude, with a steampunk wild vibe.
But their power is even more amazing than imagined, from small fart pistols to large super submachine guns, to all kinds of weird weapons, such as shock guns, dimensional guns, fart cannons, etc., obviously look like they are scrapped products, but in the hands of orcs can still emit huge power.
These weapons were all imitated from the trophies captured on the battlefield.
Most of the weapons are similar to human weapons, including some power claws, serrated swords, exoskeleton armor, etc., which look like imitations of human equipment, and they are also crudely made, but they still have powerful combat capabilities.
The other part of the strange weapons may come from the legendary Elves, and dimensional concussion weapons have always been the signature of the Elves.
Orcs use their strange minds to imitate these powerful weapons.
"Send someone to clean up the battlefield!" A man dressed as a general said in a deep voice.
on the battlefield.
Those places sprinkled with orc blood do not know when some strange spores have appeared, it looks like a small mushroom, with the command room order, soon a team of soldiers wearing protective clothing came out, they took flamethrowers, spit out a fire dragon dozens of meters long, the blazing high temperature directly incinerated the flesh and blood on the battlefield, and also directly destroyed the spore life that had just developed underground.
Thundered!
Bursts of explosions rang out.
Small mushroom clouds rose in the distance, which were cloud bursts that were fired, and the rising flames were accompanied by terrifying heat, directly melting the sand and gravel on the ground.
The hair and flesh left behind by the Orcs will hatch new orcs, and a new hatching cavity will soon be born under the spore mushroom, which is the newly born orcs. The Empire has long gathered information on this, and only a thorough incineration with the high temperature of a flame can kill the activity of these spores.
Meanwhile.
On the other side of the continent, fierce fighting continues.
In a huge hive covering an area of nearly fifty square kilometers, countless hunters are pouring into the central area of the hive, which has long been infiltrated by the blood of the swarm, and there are mountains of swarm corpses everywhere.
Behind the corpse of the thunderbeast like a small mountain, a burly orc giant man jumped out, it flew out directly, kicked the other thunderbeast back several meters in a dull loud noise, and then raised its hand to aim the muzzle of the cannon on its arm at the flying dragon in the sky.
Bang bang bang!
The bullets exploded in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen flying dragons fell from the sky with a mournful roar.
"Is this the swarm?"
"So weak!"
The blood-red pupils exuded unruly rage, and the burly orc leader leaped out violently, rushing directly to the most central hive base.
Behind it, hundreds of orc bosses let out a roar, holding all kinds of cold weapons and guns to quickly rush forward, directly breaking through the encirclement of tens of thousands of hunters, and rushing to the direction of the base with the pace of the orc leader.
The corpses of the swarm were almost piled up, and it was only a short confrontation, and the battle loss ratio between the two sides was close to 1:100.
In other words, it is possible to replace a green-skinned orc with nearly a hundred swarm combat units.
Crushed by physical strength.
Regenerate and restore the roll.
Equip weapons to crush.
Even the overwhelming swarm units that can break through their WAAAGH force fields must face the exoskeleton armor equipped on these orcs, as well as their own terrifying regeneration and recovery capabilities.
The hunters' minions had never been so weak, gnawing at the heavy armor of the orcs as if they were approaching ten centimeters.
Hive base.
An incubation chamber directly approaching sixty meters was beating slowly and vigorously, as if it were a huge heart, pumping nutrients from the entire base bit by bit.
Suddenly.
A cold light streaked through.
With a loud thud, the orc leader's advance was halted, and a hunter with a metallic carapace appeared, its scarlet eyes looking at its broken fangs, and then at the green-skinned giant in front of him, who didn't care to wipe the blood from his face.
In the darkness, one by one the strange-looking Zerg crawled out.
They look as if they are a combination of organic and inorganic creatures, and their body structure is completely different from other Zerg, with slight humanoid characteristics, the carapace exudes a metallic luster, and some of the Zerg also extend bone-like cold weapon organs from their bodies, and the cavity structure of some worms is completely solidified, forming a biochemical firearm similar to a living body.
"Tyranid?!"
The expression of the orc leader finally showed a hint of surprise, followed by a hint of fanatical battle intent welling up, and it roared excitedly, "Thousands of years! ……”
"I didn't expect to be able to meet the evolved Tyranid!"
"The orcs have been waiting for you for a long time."
“WAAAGH!!!”
An earth-shattering roar rang out.
All the orcs instantly entered a state of extreme excitement, and then the WAAAGH force field on their bodies formed a strange psionic wave, which transmitted some kind of information in a resonant way.
In a flash.
The whole world was surging, and I don't know when huge warships have appeared in the sky, they are entering the atmosphere of this planet, and the target is the distant imperial capital and the huge insect hive here.
"It's too late!"
"Awaken the Leviathan !!"
A powerful psionic energy fluctuation erupted instantly, and the entire insect hive suddenly began to wither at a speed visible to the naked eye.
