The artillery arrays and torpedoes in the asteroid belt have dragged down most of the creature warships in the hive fleet, but they can't bring the hungry Tyranids to a standstill forever.

After all this time, more and more Tyranid bio-warships are breaking out of the asteroid belt, bypassing the Imperial fleet and their space battlefields, and heading straight for the Long River.

Therefore, no matter how many Tyrannic's biological warships and air-dropped spores were destroyed by the weapon array on the Long River Star, the number of Tyranid creatures gathered over the Long River Star not only did not decrease, but became more and more.

The arrays of weapons that were supposed to support the Imperial fleet were forced to aim over the planet to clear the Tyranids that had obscured the skies.

The vibrations they produced when they fired reached the hearts of everyone on the Long River Star, and the air shouted. Endless artillery fire and lasers have even caused some large-scale anomalous natural phenomena in the sky above the Long River Star.

Burning debris drew black lines from the sky.

During Tyrann's ongoing landing, pieces of metal and flesh from the collision between the Imperial Anti-Aircraft Fire Network and Tyranid creatures rained down on the planet.

"General Wadez, the reason for the frequent malfunction of weapons in numerous artillery positions has been identified."

In a city on the Long River Star, Vadez, the commander of the Blood Lion Army, was using the telescope in his hand to look at the Tyranid Zerg in the sky.

He was observing the aliens who were about to start a battle with him.

While there are more sophisticated instruments in the command room that can gather and present more detailed information about the Tyranids, Wadez prefers to see the incredible number of Tyranids through his own eyes.

Beside him, a soldier who had been sent out reported to him on the investigations he had gathered.

"As you might expect, this is a malfunctioning weapon caused by the Tyranids."

"After investigation, weapons maintenance personnel have found numerous Tylen microbes in those malfunctioning weapons."

"They got into the weapons through tiny cracks or passages. Corroded, devoured some of the lines in those weapon arrays, or multiplied en masse, completely blocking them. ”

"But we've cleaned it up. And those damaged lines will be repaired. The malfunctioning array of weapons has been put back into service. ”

The soldier's tone was filled with joy, after all, if such a large array of weapons could not be reused, it would definitely be a huge loss for the Long River Star.

After hearing the soldier's report, Wadez did not take it lightly, and ordered the soldier on the side.

"We had to be fully prepared and order the technicians to inspect all the equipment."

"Yes."

The soldiers, having received the order, immediately left their positions and went to convey the instructions of General Wadez to the rear.

And just after he left, another soldier hurried in.

"It has been reported that our technical sergeant has detected a large number of microspores and microscopic organisms from the atmosphere that do not belong to the Long River Star."

"They come from all sorts of spores that the Tyranids are throwing at us."

"Even in the cities protected by the Void Shield, there are traces of these Tyranid microbes."

Wadez waved his hand to show that he knew, and then let the soldier leave.

Once the empire and the orcs fought a large-scale battle, and the empire was deeply impressed by the orcs' inextinguishable reproductive spores. Wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and regenerate.

In order to clean up the reproductive spores of the orcs, the Empire's troops are equipped with a large number of detection equipment.

And now, when confronted with the little contact with the Tyranid creatures, these devices have once again discovered tiny Tyranid creatures that resemble orc reproductive spores.

But unfortunately, the Imperial forces on the Long River Star currently have no means of countermeasures.

Those cannons and laser arrays can destroy the Tyranid bio-warships that are larger than the Imperial battleships, but they can't destroy the microbes.

Once faced with the reproductive spores of the orcs, the Empire usually tested them through equipment after the victory in the war, and then used fire weapons to completely burn these spores throughout the planet.

Or use one of the few Colossus weapons to scatter a large number of nanobots into the atmosphere, and they will clean the planet of orc reproductive spores.

But neither of these methods is feasible for the current Long River Star.

At this time, there are many Tyranid biological warships dropping sporangia and spore mines on the surface of the earth, except for the cities and fortresses protected by the Void Shield, other places are extremely dangerous.

It was impossible for the Empire commander to let a large number of soldiers leave the defenses and go to other parts of the planet to clean up the microbes of Tyrann.

Moreover, the Tyranids have never stopped stocking sporangia and spore mines.

The large explosive spores followed the sporangia in surprising numbers, and when they exploded, they released more small spores as well as their sickle-shaped shrapnel.

These spores are so tiny that they can even be carried by the wind and enter the city through the Empire's Void Shield device.

The speed at which the Imperial soldiers cleaned up was definitely not as fast as the speed at which Tyron put it on. So just like the battle with the Orcs, even if the Imperial forces want to clean up these Tyranid microbes, they will have to wait until the end of the war.

Not to mention the huge Colossus weapon, the empire did not send it to the White Deer System to support at all. The Empire does not use the Colossus weapon in regular space warfare, as it was not created to destroy enemy fleets.

Although it is the planetary capital of the White Hart System, Changhe Star has a certain industrial capacity and is capable of creating a batch of nanobots. But its production is nowhere near enough to clean an entire planet of Tyranid microbes.

So, even realizing that the Tyranid Zerg had extended their tentacles beyond the anti-aircraft fire net of the Long River Star. There's nothing good about it either.

Fortunately, the impact of these Tyranid microbes on the Imperial forces is not huge at the moment. The real threat was still intercepted in the sky by the Empire's array of weapons.

As long as these Tyranid microbes and spores don't grow Tyranid creatures when they land like the reproductive spores of orcs.

......

......

While the Imperial fleet and the Tyranids are fighting in space, when the numerous Tyranids break away from the asteroid belt and head over the various imperial worlds of the White Hart System.

A fleet of hundreds of warships has been driven into the asteroid belt from the shadow of the outermost gaseous planet of the White Hart system, Gatu.

This is a fleet led by Kazar, a company commander of the 39th Star Marines and the "Destruction Eagle" Legion.

The fact that Karny sent the commander of the first company of his own regiment to take command shows the importance he attached to this fleet.

When the hive fleet was approaching the White Deer system, the fleet had been observing the movements of the hive fleet through the ship's detection equipment, and then hid its whereabouts with the Gato star.

From the direction of the hive fleet, only Gato can be seen, but not the fleet led by Qajar behind it.

Karni had placed a force here on purpose, not to use it as a surprise attack on the Tyranids.

A few hundred warships alone could not control the war between the Empire and Tyranid in the entire White Hart system.

However, these hundreds of warships may be able to save more humans than all the people in the entire White Deer System combined.

......

"Go here, go ahead."

Khazar, who was on the bridge, pointed to a spot on the hologram and gave orders to the helmsman.

When the Tyranids had just entered the asteroid belt, Khazar left Gatu with his fleet. And after waiting for so long, he finally waited for an opportunity.

The direction of the Qajar fleet at this time was a battlefield on the periphery of an asteroid belt.

There were many minefields and weapons platforms in the area, and nearly 10,000 Tyranid bio-warships had to stop in this area.

Now, most of the Tyranid bio warships have left, and all that remains are the corpses of the Tyranid bio warships floating in the void and dozens of bio-ships tasked with retrieving biomass.

Khazar's mission, like those of the Tyranid creature ships, is to collect the corpses of the dead Tyranid creatures.

But the process is the same, but the purpose is diametrically opposed.

Tyrann's bioship recycles this biomass in order to bring it to the Norn Worm and recreate Tyranid creatures to devour the galaxy.

The purpose of Kazar's recovery of the corpses of these Tyranid creatures is to bring them to the Empire's biological researchers to study the weaknesses of the Tyranid Zerg so that the Empire can better resist the attack of the Tyranid creatures.

Although the Imperial fleet had inflicted a lot of damage on the Tyranids before, the corpses of those biological ships were quickly devoured by the subsequent Tyranid forces.

The Imperial fleet could not "prey on worms" in front of a large number of hive fleets.

However, under the previous salvo of the Imperial fleet, the losses of the hive fleet were so great that they had to abandon the creatures that had been destroyed in the asteroid belt and gather their forces to support the vanguard.

And when the attack on the various imperial worlds of the White Deer System was frustrated, the Tyranid could only let more troops support those landing forces. Only a small fraction of the bio-warships are left to recover biomass in the asteroid belt and destroy the array of weapons laid out by the Empire.

The number of Tyranids in the current asteroid belt has been greatly reduced, and there are corpses of Tyranids everywhere. It was a good time for Khazar to lead the fleet to collect materials for the research center of the empire.

......

"Company commander, cough... Ahem, those aliens were repelled by us. ”

Burke coughed, reporting to his superiors through the communicator that blood was oozing from his mouth.

The Warframe's vital signs detection system sounded a warning in his ear, but Burke ignored it entirely.

He knew he was going to die.

On this asteroid, the engineers of the empire built nothing but an array of weapons.

But Burke thought he would die, not because of the lack of medical facilities or medical means on the asteroid, but because of the countless Tyranid creatures that were roaring.

The sound of the swarm silenced everything.

The menacing hiss of various Tyranid creatures, the clicking of chitin carapaces colliding with each other, or the painful screams of a bioweapon as it is fired.

The comrades around him are exhausted, and perhaps in the next Tyranid attack, they will all fall. Then the abominable Tyranid creatures will suck the flesh beneath their armor.

They've been through an untold number of Tyranid creature attacks.

In the beginning, they were able to fight back as planned, forming a defensive formation around the building, and forming an impenetrable barrier with their guns and flamethrowers.

Any blade and soldier insect that tries to pass through the barrier will be torn apart by the blast or engulfed in flames, while the larger cannon bugs and samurai will be reduced to the smoking, molten remains of the multi-barreled hot melt guns.

Even without armored vehicles and heavy tanks, the Empire's soldiers were able to resist the Tyranid attack.

But the Tyranns continued to rush to their lines.

Every time they wiped out a group of Tyranid creatures, another batch of Tyranid airdrops crossed a long distance, descended on the surface of the asteroid, and then frantically attacked everything they saw.

Looking at the batch of airdrop bags that landed in the sky again, Burke knew that they could not annihilate all the Tyranid forces, and they would eventually be overwhelmed by countless Tyranns.

But he would never let those Tyranids eat him easily.

Burke turned off his vital signs detection system, took a potion from his pocket, and injected it into his body, which allowed him to keep going.

"Burke." The voice of the company commander was heard over the communicator.

"We've spotted an Imperial fleet, but nearby Tyranid biowarships are approaching it."

"Go ahead with our mission, attack it with those laser cannons, don't let it go, get its attention."

Having received the order, Burke returned to his operational post, a skilled gunner and at the same time the commander of an artillery squad.

"All artillery, aim at those biological warships in space," Burke ordered his men in the communication channel, "to get their attention." ”

Burke's order was responded to by a blast, and the guns in his vicinity simultaneously turned around and opened fire into the sky.

In the vicinity of this asteroid, several Tyranid bio-warships are roaming through space, dropping airdrop bags onto various asteroids and recovering the biomass of the Tyrannical creatures that have been destroyed in space.

An Imperial fleet in the distance caught their attention, causing them to slowly approach them.

Although a sudden attack caused their attention to be temporarily diverted to a nearby asteroid, the attack did little damage.

So only one Tyranid bio-warship was heading towards the asteroid, while the remaining ones were still heading towards their original line of defense.
