Chapter 293: Eight-Winged Flying Snake
The Reaper finally finished replacing its thrusters and took off again to go to the battlefield.
[Expected to be in 8 minutes. Enter the battlefield ......]
The thrusters were replaced, and the energetic Reaper more than doubled its speed, reaching the battlefield as fast as possible under Mu Chen's control.
The two Dreadnoughts were almost unable to hold out, the No. 1 ship had been pierced a hole, and the Marines were covering the repair team to do the repair work, but the fierce fighting apparently didn't give them much time to tinker.
"Ship No. 1 is out of battle and goes to the Luban to complete the repair work!"
"Ship No. 2 pay attention to dodge and give up the main attack position! Cover ship 1 with the Grim Reaper. ”
The Reaper rejoins the fray, instantly unleashing thousands of anti-aircraft missiles to clear the swarm of the dreadnought 1 mothership, reducing some of their pressure and shielding them for their evacuation to the outskirts of the battlefield.
Mu Chen's plan is to ensure that there are two warships that can fight on the battlefield at any time and fight as long as possible, anyway, the ammunition reserves of the Reaper fleet are sufficient, and the maintenance efficiency of the Luban is also very high, so there is no need to fight with injuries.
"The damaged fighters will also be evacuated with the No. 1 battleship and go to the Luban to repair the damaged equipment, and the other fighters will follow the Grim Reaper, and we will crush these miscellaneous pieces into slag like a grinding plate!"
In general, the number of casualties of the Zerg army is still far greater than that of the Reaper fleet, after all, they can only attack with the most primitive means of attack, if a laser cannon is installed on each giant horned flying insect, I am afraid that the Reaper fleet will be wiped out long ago.
After more than 3 hours of high-intensity fighting, nearly half of the Zerg's flying units have been wiped out, and they can no longer form a group-scale operation, and the flying units of the Reaper fleet can relax a little.
The dirty work is still handed over to the Zhiji Mad Lion to deal with, anyway, this thing is not afraid of pain, and the power is no worse than that of a space fighter, and after activating the self-detonation system, it can also cause great damage.
The Reaper circled with the Dreadnought 2 space carrier, followed by hordes of space fighters, keeping the swarm in a limited area and clearing it with extreme efficiency.
At this point in the battle, the Reaper fleet finally saw a glimmer of victory, and also figured out a more effective way to fight, besieging the Zerg around the Scarlet Planet Base, and gradually eating away at the living force of the insect swarm from the periphery, not seeking to be able to kill these insects directly, as long as they can make their wing membranes damaged and unable to fly, the giant horned flying insects that have lost their mobility will soon die on their own.
Mu Chen suspected that these giant horned flying insects were like sharks in the ocean, and they had to keep flying for a moment or they would die.
This is an extremely important discovery, and if this is the case, the Reaper fleet will be able to target these bugs more effectively.
"Attention units, the focus of the attack is on the wing membrane of the Giant Horned Flying Worm, which should be their weak point!" Mu Chen conveyed this order to all fleet crews through the Commander Channel.
The subsequent results responded to Mu Chen's speculation, and the giant horned flying insects soon died one after another after the damage to the wing membranes, although it is not clear what the exact reason is, but it doesn't matter what it does, the reason is a headache for those biologists, as long as it is effective.
This discovery made the crew's confidence even more sufficient, they never thought that Lord Death would discover the weakness of the Giant Horned Flying Insect so quickly, this observation was terrifying.
You must know that the busiest person on the entire battlefield is the supreme commander of the fleet, who not only needs to command the fleet to fight, but also thinks about tactical matters, but the Grim Reaper can still keenly detect the enemy's weaknesses in this situation.
It's no wonder that Lord Death is invincible, this kind of non-human observation and battlefield smell is enough to make everyone bow down.
The Reaper's fleet is imposing, and the swarms have been wiped out, and the airspace is about to be cleared.
But just when everyone thought that the battle was about to end, a crack opened in the blood-colored planetary base again, and a huge insect crawled out of it.
"Hiss......" Everyone gasped, what are you kidding? Still coming?!
Everyone knows this giant bug, as the video material provided by Proxima Centauri includes fighting it.
This giant bug is a supership that can bite Proxima Centauri in two, with eight bones and wings on its back, and it flies incredibly fast, a notch faster than the Reaper.
Because its attack method resembles that of a python on the earth, it was named the "eight-winged flying snake".
I've only seen this guy on video before, and I haven't realized how fast it is, but now I finally have this opportunity.
Eight wings flicked at the same time, this big guy with a full 1,000 kilometers rose into the air, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the vicinity of the Reaper fleet, and without hesitation, he got into the group of fighters, and his huge body twisted, and many hurricane fighters that couldn't dodge were hit and soon crashed.
"Fly the troops out, don't get together!"
"Get out of the way of the dreadnought, I'll lure this guy away, you look for a chance to attack him!" Mu Chen ordered.
At this time, it's too late to think about it, this eight-winged flying snake can really destroy the Reaper fleet, the super battleships of the Proxima Centauri can't withstand its strangulation, and the battleships of the Reaper fleet may not be able to bear it either.
This eight-winged flying snake was even more difficult to deal with than the previous flying centipede, because it was so fast.
As soon as Mu Chen's words fell, he saw the eight-winged flying snake spraying dark green corrosive slime and flying towards the Death.
Mu Chen hurriedly controlled the battleship to dodge, made a flying action with a limit folding, and narrowly escaped from the mouth of the eight-winged flying snake.
But before Mu Chen could breathe a sigh of relief, a violent impact came from the port side of the battleship, directly knocking the Grim Reaper out of the side for hundreds of meters.
It turned out that the eight-winged flying snake twisted its neck and smashed its huge head into the Death's hull like a battering ram at the moment when the Reaper dodged its own bite.
The impact caused the Grim Reaper space carrier to shake violently, and it felt like a small ship sailing in a storm.
[Warning, warning! The port side received a heavy blunt hit, the hull defense level dropped by 25%, and some of the energy shield generators were severely damaged......]
Mu Chen frowned, he didn't expect that he had reached this point and had not completely gotten rid of the attack of the eight-winged flying snake, it was not good to go on like this.
"5 tear gas canisters and 5 smoke grenades!" Mu Chen gave an order, and 10 special missiles were launched from the stern of the ship.
Smoke and tear gas quickly exploded in the head of the Eight-winged Flying Snake, but only slightly distracted and did not stop the Eight-Winged Flying Snake.
However, this was enough time, and the Grim Reaper took advantage of the gap and quickly opened up the distance between it and the Eight-Winged Flying Serpent.
Mu Chen controlled the 20 particle beam cannons on the stern of the ship to aim at the eight-winged flying snake that was shaking its head and wanted to get rid of the tear jerking effect as soon as possible, and after waiting for the charge to be completed, he immediately pressed the launch button.
The 20 particle beams hit the head of the eight-winged flying snake at the same time, sending out a violent explosion
。
The eight-winged flying snake let out a painful roar under the pain, even if there was no medium for sound transmission in space, Mu Chen could still feel the sound wave caused by the roar.
"Made, this reptile is too difficult to deal with!"
No one thought that the concentrated attacks of the 20 particle beam cannons did not cause much damage to the eight-winged flying snake, but completely angered it.
Seeing that the Death had escaped from its range of attack, the Eight-Winged Flying Serpent no longer chased it, but turned its head to look at the slower Dreadnought space carrier not far away.
"It's not good, the eight-winged flying snake is rushing towards you!" Mu Chen hurriedly issued an early warning to the Dreadnought 2 space carrier through the fleet channel.
It's a pity that he's still a little slow......
The eight-winged flying snake flapped these eight huge wings, and in an instant, it came behind the Dreadnought No. 2 space carrier, opened its big mouth and bit it down fiercely.
The energy shield of the Intrepid space carrier only lasted less than 5 seconds before it was completely shattered, and this bite directly shattered the energy shield, gritting his teeth fiercely at the stern of the ship, swallowing the thruster on the tail of the Dreadnought 2 in one gulp!
This is definitely not good news, the situation of the Dreadnought 2 is very bad, the loss of the tail thruster means that they have completely lost their propulsion, and they can't even dodge the action, and the next round of attack by the eight-winged flying snake may destroy the battleship directly.
Mu Chen watched this scene with a cracked eye, and turned around ruthlessly and flew in the direction of the eight-winged flying snake, it was too late to charge the main gun, so he could only use stupid methods to delay some time, at least to create some opportunities for the crew on the Intrepid to escape.
That's right, in this case, abandoning the ship and escaping is the only way, and there is no chance that the Dreadnought No. 2 battleship will survive.
The Grim Reaper hit the belly of the eight-winged flying snake, and also launched hundreds of electromagnetic pulse bombs, this special missile can generate a huge current, which is generally used to interfere with the radar auxiliary system of the enemy ship, but now it is used by Mu Chen, hoping to use a huge current to cause a short-term paralyzing effect on the eight-winged flying snake.
It's a pity that this eight-winged flying snake's ability to resist electric shocks is too strong, and it only regained its sanity after being paralyzed for a moment.
Mu Chen didn't have any good options, so he could only use the impact angle of the Reaper's head to try to push the eight-winged flying snake away.
Fortunately, the collision angle was indeed extremely sharp, and it actually managed to cause some abrasions, and a large amount of red blood flowed out of the abdomen of the eight-winged flying snake, mixed with the dark green slime in its body, and sprayed out, dyeing the black Death space carrier with a layer of strange color.
Taking advantage of this brief opportunity, the captain of the Dreadnought 2 space carrier immediately gave the order to abandon the ship, allowing his crew to enter the escape pod and leave in the shortest possible time.
"Captain, the crew has completed their escape, let's retreat too!" The deputy captain glanced at Captain No. 2, who was still sticking to his post, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Let's go, I'm the captain of this battleship, let me accompany her on the last journey......" The captain said with a smile, a hint of relief in his tone.
"No, Captain, let's go together! We can't leave you behind! The deputy captain said anxiously.
"Vice Captain, obey orders!" Seeing that his old buddy was reluctant to leave, the captain turned his head and said to the crew around him: "Take the deputy captain away, you enter the captain's escape pod, and leave immediately without delay!" ”
"Captain, you can't do this!" The co-captain struggled and shouted, but he was firmly controlled by the crew, unable to move at all, and could only watch as he was stuffed into the escape pod by the crew.
