The Imperial fleet led by Karni was broken into pieces, and the formation was scattered.

An attack formation composed of a dense group of warships, scattered into small detachments of dozens of warships, struggling to maintain their presence in the vast ocean of the hive fleet.

It is difficult to continue the spectacular scene of concentrating forces, setting up an attack formation, and firing a salvo of nearly 100,000 warships together.

Although that would allow the Imperial Warship to maximize its firepower advantage, and with a shocking salvo, it could kill tens of thousands of Zerg Creature Battleships, but now the Hive Fleet is on the verge of overwhelming the Imperial Fleet.

If the rigid formation continues to be maintained, not only will the firepower advantage not be brought into play, but the Imperial warship will also become an immobile can in the galaxy, which will be opened by a large number of Tyranid Zerg one by one, and then devour the "food" inside.

Therefore, under the threat of the imminent hive fleet, Karni had to disperse the fleet cluster.

But this situation was expected before the battle of Karni.

The dispersal of the Imperial fleet was not like a defeated general, but in an orderly and arranged manner, changing from a large combat unit to a small combat unit.

The Empire's fleets had known for a long time that they would not be able to annihilate them all before these hive fleets rushed to the various imperial worlds of the White Hart System. And with the huge disparity in strength, it is impossible for them to completely stop it.

Therefore, Karni's goal at this stage has never been to destroy this fleet. Instead, they are trying to reduce the number of Tyranids in space, and drag most of the Tyranids so that they cannot invade the Imperial World of the White Hart System.

Do your best to reduce the pressure on the planets of the White Hart System, so that the number of Tyranid creatures that the Imperial forces will face on the planet's surface will be greatly reduced, and the attacks on the fortress cities when resisting the attack of the Tyranid Zerg will be much lessened.

lest while the Imperial fleet is still fighting in space, the targets they have to protect, the Imperial world behind them and the people of the Empire on it, have been overwhelmed by endless swarms.

The reason why Karni thought that the hope of victory in this battle was slim was because he believed that the Imperial world would not be able to hold out for long under the terror of the Tyranid Zerg.

If that happens......

"If you can't save your planet, you can also give other planets a chance to fight by attracting as many Tyranids as possible. A few planet-destroying ammo should solve all the problems, and think how glorious these stories will sound to posterity! —A loyal inquisitor

But as long as those imperial worlds do not fall and hold on, then the imperial fleet will continue to fight against the hive fleet in space for a long time.

Then there will be many new possibilities for war.

It could be that a new Hive fleet has arrived in the White Hart system, or that the Imperial fleet has been eaten up by the Hive Fleet in a long battle.

But it is also possible that the White Deer System can wait for the follow-up support of the Empire, or the Zerg choose to retreat from the White Deer System, or Karni led the Imperial Fleet to spend tens or even hundreds of years to annihilate the Worm Hive Fleet.

In short, the imperial world is the most important thing in this war. The Tyranids want to devour, and the Imperial forces want to protect.

In space, the fleets of both sides are fighting around these worlds. As long as the flag of the Empire still stands on the planet, then this war will not end.

Therefore, the Imperial Fleet implemented this tactic of breaking up into parts at this time, not only because the Hive Fleet paid a lot of casualties to get close to them, but also because this tactic could allow the Imperial Fleet to drag down enemies several times, or even dozens of times its own, so that fewer Zerg warships could reach the sky above the Imperial World and reduce the pressure on the Imperial World behind them.

Previously, the Hive Fleet did not hesitate to pay huge casualties and charged forward against the artillery fire of the Imperial Fleet, just to start a decisive battle with the Imperial Fleet.

Under the disparity in the number of warships between the two sides, the Imperial fleet had no chance of winning in a head-on collision.

But when the hive fleet approached, the Imperial fleet immediately dispersed, using the advantage of mobility to make the hive fleet pounce.

And when the hive fleet wanted to leave, those battleship detachments immediately gathered under the order of the commander and seized the advantageous fighters to attack those zerg biological warships.

Relying on the propulsion system on the Imperial battleship, which is far more powerful than the Zerg biological warship, the initiative of the battle is completely in the hands of the Imperial battleship.

You can't hit it, you can't prevent it, you can't shake it off.

Compared to the previous firepower salvo, a small detachment could only destroy one or two Zerg creature warships in a single battle, and the damage to the hive fleet was negligible.

But if you add up the damage inflicted by all the battleship detachments on the Hive Fleet, then the number of enemies destroyed is not a lot at all. Even more damage than the previous volley of fire.

But this does not mean that a firepower salvo is unnecessary, and if it were not for the previous rounds of firepower salvos that weakened the number of a wave of hive fleets, then this tactic would not have had this effect.

And, don't look at the fact that at this time, the Imperial warships can pull the hive fleet by virtue of their mobility, due to the small number of warships in each detachment, if they are heavily damaged or surrounded by the hive fleet, then there is a high probability that they will be broken into the ship and devoured by a steady stream of Tyranid creatures.

The Tyranids can make countless mistakes, while the Empire's warship detachments can only make one mistake.

In the past, firepower salvos relied more on the firepower configuration of the battleships and the arrangement of formations, but now the tactics are more dependent on the abilities of the respective Imperial captains.

If you run into an incompetent captain, then in this case, the probability of becoming food in Tyron's mouth will be greatly increased.

Although on the "Eagle", the commander-in-chief Karni kept giving orders and instructions to the captains. But the specific execution still depends on the captains, after all, it is impossible for Karni to arrange everything in place.

At this time, a large number of staff members of the strategic command center of the "Eagle" reported to Karni the military-related information they had collected and mastered.

Their way of reporting is to send the information in the form of text to the holographic screen in front of Karni.

It was clear that Karni was at the front of the strategic command room, but they did not choose to convey the message in words.

It's not that Karni has lost his hearing, it's not that all of these people have become mute, but because in this kind of battlefield where tens of thousands of warships are fighting, there is too much information.

Of course, there is no problem for a person to report the information for which he is responsible to Karni through words.

So two people, three people, hundreds of people in the strategic command center at this time opened their mouths together?

I'm afraid I can't hear anything from the noise.

That's why people choose to send messages to Karni in the form of text.

Another reason is that text can convey information more quickly than speech.

A line of text that Karney can read at a glance. And if it's a discourse, it takes a second or two for Karney to hear it speak.

In war, time is the most precious thing. No time can be wasted.

In front of Karni, a large amount of text appeared on the holographic projection at a rapid speed, and then quickly disappeared. The text keeps scrolling on the holographic projection.

The actions of the fleet, the reports and recommendations to Karni, the assembly and cooperation of the detachments, the transmission of orders, the movements of the Tyranids, the execution of the plan......

All kinds of information like a fortress burst the brain.

However, while quickly digesting these news, Karni used his superhuman brain and super battlefield awareness to command and dispatch nearly 10,000 detachments, and his command was flexible and his tactics were changeable.

With a dozen tactical displays on his face, the enhanced Space Marine mind absorbs a myriad of different pieces of information and translates it into a battle plan.

No human being could do such a thing.

Even among the same space marines as Karney, there are only a handful of people who can make the most of their supernatural powers, and even fewer who can use them in the field of command.

Under Karni's command, the Imperial warships repeatedly attritioned the Hive fleet, making the number of Zerg biological warships smaller and smaller.

Although, according to the number of hive fleets, it may take decades, even centuries, for the Imperial fleet to completely wipe them out.

But in any case, the advantage of the Tyranid in the duel is getting smaller and smaller.

And just as Karni was concentrating on the holographic star map showing the entire battlefield, while looking at the many displayed information, a message in large red appeared above the entire projection.

"The tentacles of the hive fleet have reached for the Long River Star!"

In the asteroid belt of the White Deer Galaxy, more and more Zerg biological warships broke away from it, and they gathered and advanced towards the various imperial worlds in the White Deer Galaxy.

Among them, the largest one undoubtedly ran to Changhe Star, which is the planetary capital of the White Deer Galaxy. The sheer size of the population is a different attraction to Tyranny.

But now the Imperial fleet in space no longer has the strength to intercept these Tyranid warships, and they have done their best.

Next, it's time for the astral troops and space marines stationed on the planet's surface to behave.

No, wait, they shouldn't be out yet.

It should be the time for the manifestation of those extremely powerful weapons of various models that make up the ground and orbital defense system, which are located on the surface of the planet.

As the hive fleet advanced towards the White Hart System, the imperial worlds of the White Hart System had already armed themselves. A variety of weapons to defend against space attacks are emerging.

Buried deep underground, the Defensive Laser Silos, the oversized missile launchers, and the massive array of electromagnetic railguns have been firing since the Tyranids and the Imperial Fleet went to war.

They vibrate like an irregular heartbeat. Now, those giant laser cannons and macro cannons have also joined them. The entire planet seemed to tremble in the fury of the weapon array.

There is a limit to the number of weapons that can be installed on a battleship, the cabin, the power system, the shield system, ...... There are many other things that require space.

None of this is a problem for a planet, and it can carry weapons far larger than a warship.

At this time, the Long River Star can be said to be a weapon platform orbiting the star, and its firepower is enough to rival a fleet.

As those Tyranid ships approached the Long River, the countless artillery fire on the Long River showed no mercy to these abominable aliens.

Even if it's food, the Long River Star is definitely a canned antcow. If you want to taste it, it is possible to pay with your life.

Under the fierce firepower, the Tyranid finally rushed to the sky above the Long River Star at a great cost, just as they had previously advanced against the firepower salvo of the Imperial fleet.

However, the Imperial Ships can once again move away from the Tyranids with their mobility, but the Long River Star cannot.

When the Tyranid Zerg came to the sky above the Long River Star, countless spores fell from the sky.

These airdrop sacs are companions within hive ships and are designed to penetrate the atmosphere. Usually hang on the mothership with tentacles to absorb nutrients like an umbilical cord. Before performing a planetary raid, it will swallow large and small instances of Tyranid.

When the airdrop bag enters the atmosphere, the heavy chitin armor can protect it from the heat, and the chitin layer will spread out during the subsequent landing, acting as a second layer of deceleration.

However, these slowed down empty sacs are defenseless targets in front of those weapons and facilities.

The numerous automatic cannon muzzles on the Long River Star were aimed at the sporangia that fell from the sky. Staggered explosions and solid bullets rained down on the sky in a torrential rain of destruction.

Numerous anti-aircraft cannons roared, and defensive lasers emitted a column of blinding light that twisted the air into a stormy current.

Under the dense anti-aircraft fire of the Long River Star, many of the sporangia had not yet landed, and even the loaded Tyranid creatures were shattered by the dense rain of bullets.

"For the great glory of the emperor, for the protection of the long river, open fire!"

The sound of artillery was deafening, and the various fortresses and defensive positions on the Long River Star fired endless artillery fire into the sky, destroying the Tyranid creature ships and airdrop bags.

At the edge of the city on the Long River Star, numerous heavy weapons roared, emitting a large amount of plasma and lasers, so much so that the city itself and its surroundings experienced an unnatural heat boost.

But no matter how many airdrop sacs are torn to pieces by shrapnel or energy explosions, there is always more to be filled.

The Tyranid has too many airdrop sacs, and there are many spore mines and splore spores in them to attract firepower, which makes a large number of airdrop sacs fall from the sky through the interception fire net.

However, so far, the Taryns have not been organized. The empty sacs that fall are usually not very large, and the larger giants of the Tyranid have not yet dropped enough of them.

Sometimes, however, the "small" threat is much greater than the "big".

The empty cephalic cysts and spore mines destroyed by the fire released countless microorganisms into the air, and these microorganisms fought against the invisible bacteria, viruses, and microscopic biomes of the Long River Star.

Some of these creatures are designed to contaminate weapons or destroy machines, and most of them begin to devour the world as they fight for their survival.
