Chapter 626: A Creature Battleship Gone Crazy

The process of hiding the fleet took them nearly three hours, and the majority of the time was spent navigating the asteroid belt. After all, it takes time to fly in the asteroid belt and find the right shelter. When the entire fleet was hidden in the asteroid belt, the two Star Destroyers began their own operations.

When they came before, their reconnaissance planes were all observing from a distance, and they did not attract the attention of the crazy people who encountered the battle in the distance. In order to attract as many enemy ships as possible, the two Emperor-class Star Destroyers took on the most dangerous task of attracting firepower.

Most of the people on board were emptied, one operated directly by Cortana and the other by the remaining crew. They formed an offensive formation and accelerated all the way, rushing straight to a place only one astronomical unit away from the target planet.

Such a close distance naturally alarmed a large number of crazy battleships, most of them were strange-looking, most of them were more than 5 kilometers long, and most of them looked like a combination of caterpillar + octopus + whale magnified countless times.

The bodies of these bio-warships are section-by-section, each with a diameter and length of at least several hundred meters. Every part of the exterior of the hull appears to be a living thing, but inside there are man-made spaces of varying sizes for the war madmen.

Depending on the function, some of these creatures have soft hull shells, while others are covered with thick carapaces, and what they all have in common is that important parts of the hull have many compound eyes of various sizes and pores of unknown significance.

Each compound eye on the surface of the ship is very large and not very regular, and the smallest compound eye is several stories in diameter, and they are combined in various strange ways to observe all kinds of visible and invisible light in the outside world.

It was with the help of these oversized, telescope-accurate compound eyes that these living creatures were able to observe the invading Emperor-class warships. Like the vast majority of "Zerg-like" forces that rely entirely on biotechnology, the Battle Maniac has a strict hierarchy.

They mainly confirm the status of each individual in the group through the level of individual combat effectiveness. Therefore, the higher the command level, the higher the combat effectiveness of the madman. The highest-ranking leader in this outpost attacking the galaxy is a super-strong monster that is nearly 4 meters tall and has little in common with his kind.

He was of the same race as the other relatively normal-looking war madmen, but they seemed to have little in common. The body shape and posture of ordinary war madmen are typical bipedal upright walking animals, and the body shape is not particularly different from humans.

But this war-mad high-ranking nobleman, known as the Grand Commander, looks like a completely different race. This is because war madmen have a very distorted social culture. In order to enhance their combat effectiveness and obtain a higher social status, many adult war madmen will "graft" organs and even limbs of other powerful creatures to their bodies.

Most of the madmen who choose this path will graft the legs or arms of a strong creature to themselves, but some of the most crazy people will gradually abandon their entire body and replace it with the body of another creature altogether.

This is the case with the great commander in front of him, who has gradually removed his original body and replaced it with his current body through self-mutilation again and again. If you look at someone who likes fantasy background literature or games, you will definitely think that it is a demonic creature.

He has all the characteristics of demonic creatures, a strong red and black body. Sharp claws and teeth, giant horns on the top of the head and sharp barbs behind the joints, and even a forked, sharp, barbed tail...... These are typical demonic traits, and it took this battle madman boss a century and a half to make himself like this.

The reason why it took so long was because not all modifications would have a positive effect, and transplanting and grafting the bodies of other creatures was full of dangers, even for a race that was naturally adaptable like the War Maniac.

In many cases, the organs of powerful creatures that he had hunted with great effort could not be transplanted into himself, or there was no enhancement effect after transplantation. Many war-mad people who are obsessed with self-modification will hang up in the process. Those who survive and become stronger will prove themselves through guò duels or foreign wars and achieve a higher social status.

This battle-mad commander called Khurel proved his strength half a century ago. At that time, he defeated all his opponents in the largest arena of the home planet of the Mad Maniac, successfully promoted from the lower nobles to the new high-ranking nobles, and after that served as the commander-in-chief of the vanguard forces invading the galaxy.

He has been out of the core of the battle maniac for half a century, and he is not very vigilant, because the war maniac is fighting a civil war in the home galaxy at this time. And he, like many high-ranking nobles who have not yet been involved, decided to be a spectator in the civil war, quietly waiting for the end of the civil war.

What few people know is. Although the war madmen had made a plan to attack the galaxy a century ago, due to the long-term death within their race and the civil wars that broke out from time to time, the plan to invade the galaxy was always in preparation and interrupted.

Half a century has passed since Khurel took office, and his vigilance has long been polished. After the mastermind observed the abnormality, the mastermind of the control of the biological battleship immediately transmitted the information layer by layer to this great commander. But at this time he was not aware of the danger.

Seeing that it was reported that only large ships were passing by, he thought that he had just encountered some commercial fleets exploring the galactic border, so he sent two biological warships to intercept and destroy each other. Although located at the edge of the galaxy, they have encountered outsiders from time to time over the past few decades.

With the exception of a small ship, they destroyed all the ships that had stumbled into the area to ensure that the Savannah wouldn't leak before the invasion began, though even he, the vanguard commander, was unsure when the invasion plan would be officially implemented.

Under his orders, only two bio-warships of normal size sprang into action and rushed towards the two Star Destroyers. The two bio-battleships had the general appearance of caterpillars, twisting their bodies as if they were real caterpillars, turning their heads and swimming in the direction of the Star Destroyer.

The two biological warships swim with a huge electrical charge on their bodies, and the "skin" on most of their bodies will also spray out clouds of faint black mist. Under the effect of the electric potential difference, the black fog is ignited in an orderly manner to become a high-temperature and high-pressure plasma, which pushes the biological warship to swim.

Their heads have large, stadium-like mouthparts that not only contain sharp teeth, but also have a unique launcher that can shoot ultra-hot plasma or corrosive venom to destroy unprotected hulls.

Ten minutes later, the two Star Destroyers of the expedition team had already entered the firing range, and the two battleships on the opposite side were still swimming forward with great effort, and they were not even ready to fire, at this time they were more than 40 light-seconds apart, and they were at least 170 light-seconds away from the main force of the Encounter Maniac fleet in the distance.

At this distance, the two Star Destroyers belonging to the expedition were able to determine the exact situation on the other side, and the same was true for the Crazy Men in battle. The expedition team was surprised that the battle madman actually sent only two warships to deal with it, which did not achieve the effect of them attracting all the enemies to dispatch, and in the battle madman battleship opposite, the mastermind was surprised to find that the opposite side was not a merchant ship.

"Inform the Grand Commander, it's the warship of the Galactic Empire!" ......" The battle mad commander who commanded the two biological warships gave the order, but before he could confirm the message, the opposite expedition had already opened fire.

At this time, the relative distance between them was only about 30 light seconds, which was within the optimal range of the Emperor-class Star Destroyer. At this distance, the Star Destroyer can both ensure a high hit rate and maximize the thermal damage of each gun.

Since the biological warships that encountered the madmen did not have such a long range, the first round of firefighting was completely dominated by the expedition. After a round of shelling, two biological warships were riddled with holes, and one of them was almost broken by the hit.

"These guys are not strong at all, unless the imperial army in the future is mentally retarded, how can they be suppressed by these "meat balls"? Cortana, who was in control of Star Destroyer One, commented after the first round of shelling that the ship's optical sensors had just transmitted the lethal effect on the opposite side.

Seeing the effect of the first round of blows, she couldn't help but feel a little fluttering, after all, the last time she had the opportunity to control a battleship to participate in the battle was a long time ago, when she first learned that the battle madman was still in the air, she thought that these guys on the biotechnology side would have the strength of the ancient flood demon on the aura plane, but now it seems that it is not the case.

"Be vigilant, the battle isn't over yet" reminded Master Chief, who saw the same time-lapse as Cortana, and saw the two bio-warships being beaten into a hornet's nest in front of them, but he was not as optimistic as Cortana, after all, this was their first encounter, and although the first round of shelling was effective, there was no evidence that the two bio-warships had been killed.

Sure enough, after more than ten seconds, the image that came with the light changed their perspective. Although it is an image of the fact half a minute ago, the scene shown in the image makes people can't help but cry out.

It turned out that after being hit by the first round of artillery fire, hundreds of large holes appeared in the hull of the battleship that met the madman, completely destroying at least about 5% of the flesh and blood that made up the hull. But most of those large holes were covered by shrunken hulls very far apart.

In other words, the opponent's biological warship squeezed its own body and blocked most of the wounds! Although there are still some parts of the hull that cannot be restored in a short time, it is obvious that the other side is still capable of fighting.

To make matters worse, after being shelled, the bio-warships on the opposite side not only did not flinch or show the appearance of being damaged, but on the contrary, the two bio-warships rushed over at a faster speed than before! (To be continued......)
