Char Planet Low Altitude Orbit.
The bridge of the flagship of the Earth Federation Expeditionary Force, the USS Alexander.
"General! News came from the ground. The lieutenant came to the command platform, and Gerald was engrossed in the real-time situation of the space battlefield.
"News of the Blazing Crater Zone?" Duggall stared intently at the message on the podium, and said.
"Yes, General." The adjutant nodded, hesitated for a moment, and still said: "But the 'World Comprehensive Scientific Research Station' has fallen, and the front-line base has been attacked by alien troops, and none of our people have survived. ”
"Uh-huh? What did you say? Dougall didn't think about it at first, but suddenly, he suddenly looked up and stared at the adjutant, "All? ”
"All! Checkmate. The adjutant nodded affirmatively.
"Rubbish!" An angry rebuke suddenly came from the admiral's mouth, "What are the intelligence services for?" Why is there no news at all? And what about Marcus, who is in charge of intelligence? Let him talk to me right away! ”
To make Duggall so angry is enough to prove the importance of the "World Comprehensive Scientific Research Station", obviously, the war has continued until now, and he has seen the amazing continuous combat ability of the swarm, although Kellygan's troops have failed to inflict devastating damage on the expeditionary force, but from the beginning of the war to the present, the expeditionary force has eliminated countless aliens, no matter how you look at it, it seems that the expeditionary force has won a great victory. But over time, Gerald has come to sniff out unusual smells. They eliminated countless bugs, but the offensive intensity of these alien creatures remained the same, the fleet wiped out a wave of swarms, followed by another wave, as if it would never be finished, the starry sky was already dyed red with blood, and the number of swarm corpses floating in Char's low-altitude orbit was not tens of millions but millions, and it was gradually increasing.
Dougall thought of a terrible consequence, and he found that the expeditionary force was gradually being eaten away. The fall of Keha was a big blow to Gerald, and then the rebellion of other planetary worlds destroyed the previous achievements, and even Blessik was killed, and it was impossible for the expeditionary force to establish a new logistics supply line in a short period of time, which meant that this huge fleet of standing supplies consumed an unusually staggering amount of supplies in wartime not only could not continue to fight, but the fat and strong body became a burden.
Unless, Gerald, gives up the Charl that he already has, unless everything starts from scratch according to the original strategy. But obviously, the admiral will not accept this, which means that the previous efforts are meaningless. It is the embodiment of a loser, and he will never accept it.
For this reason, he made a big gamble at the expense of the entire expeditionary force, and the bet was all on the planet Char and the swarm controlled on this planet, and he firmly believed that as long as he completely controlled the master, all the problems of the swarm would be solved.
But just now, the fall of the "World Comprehensive Scientific Research Station" was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him.
Gerald had already clearly discerned the general strategy of the enemy. The alien tried to use the endless army of swarms to exhaust the expeditionary force, and he knew that the swarm could continuously send troops into space, and everything was based on the nests on the surface of the planet, and if the nests were not ended, then the bugs would never be finished.
And the ultimate task of the "World Comprehensive Scientific Research Station" is to eliminate the nests of insect swarms in the trenches of the dead bones. Gerald had high hopes for this, hoping to drag the swarm with the swarm and eventually wipe it out, as it seems. This thought is about to be shattered.
"Marcus! I'm thinking about whether you're capable of taking this position, why did the enemy suddenly attack the 'Blazing Crater' and we didn't hear anything at all? When Duggal saw Marcus's news, his face was extremely gloomy.
"General. Our reconnaissance satellites radiated to the surface of the entire planet, and monitored the crater area of the rocky crater 24 hours a day, but until the alien attacked the research station, we did not find a large-scale alien on the surface. Marcus shuddered, adding, "The results of the investigation have emerged, the xenomorphs evaded our electronic reconnaissance through the tunnels underneath and raided our base. ”
"The ground of the blazing crater is hot magma, could it be that bugs can survive in lava?" Dougall looked at him questioningly.
"Of course not, the first discovery of an underground worm creature that can pass through the solid underground, this underground worm is like a subway that opens a smooth passage to the research station, and they raided our base in this way." Marcus explained.
"Underground worms, unexpectedly discovered for the first time, unforgivable, the technology team is a bunch of waste, and they haven't been able to crack the alien technology tree until now!" Dougall roared, everyone was silently bearing the general's wrath, and no one dared to speak, and after a long time, Gerald calmed his anger, "If the enemy's lair is not leveled, the battle in space will be endless." Prepare a main force to parachute on the ground to strengthen the defense of the Corroded Land, I expect that the other side will definitely make a move on the main lair controlled by us, the alien is the key to winning this war, and the science and technology team has not been able to solve the problem of controlling the master? ”
At this moment, how much Duggal wished that Stukov was by his side, if he was there, I am afraid that he would have already controlled the Juggernaut and Alien forces, and whenever he thought of this, he regretted it
Trenches of bones.
"Congratulations to Her Majesty! The humans of the blazing crater have been wiped out, and the rebellious swarm and a nearby lair have been conquered. Duran said respectfully.
"Well done, the main nest crisis has been resolved, and now it's finally our time." Empress Blade's eyes surged with blazing red flames, and she stood up from the throne in the lair, her eyes looked down on the entire lair, and the countless eggs in the hatchery stirred their pulses in an orderly manner, and one by one the insects broke out of their shells, and then poured into the evolution chamber, and after completing the third level of evolution, they could join the battlefield.
"The swarm!" Her will descended on the sea of consciousness of every insect in the community, "The final battle is coming, my community!" Carry my will and wrath to destroy the controlled dominants and rebellious swarms, and don't let any of its brainworms survive. ”
Kellygan was very sure that the Earth Federation would do everything to stop him as much as possible, but even so, she was extremely confident that the UED Expeditionary Force would definitely not be able to resist her and her powerful army, her army was firmly in hand and was more powerful than ever.
At this moment, the insects in the entire nest seemed to be screaming, all for their empress!
"But Her Majesty." Duran suddenly asked, "Only the Dark Templar's Void Psychic can inflict devastating damage on the Juggernaut and its Brain Worm, and I have no doubt that your mighty forces will eventually break through the Corrupted Lands, but I have to warn you that even if we send all of your troops to attack the Juggernaut and the Brain Worm, we may not be able to inflict final destruction on it." ”
