At this time, Yang Yi suddenly noticed a strange point. He always felt that something was missing in Char's air battle, and he looked around the bridge of the Pride of Ortaris, and through the energy barrier of this ark ship, he could clearly see the fierce air battle outside the ark ship, Viking fighters, Wraith fighters, Phoenix fighters, reconnaissance planes, etc., and the air force of the insects were fighting with the support of the capital ship......

“…… Capital ship? ”

He suddenly realized what was wrong: what about the Leviathan of the swarm?!

The reason why the Empire is reluctant to launch a general attack on Char even though it has a hundred warcruisers in hand is largely because of the huge Leviathan fleet that the Queen of Blades has assembled under her command. These ten-kilometer-long biological warships are the strongest force against human war cruisers, and with the existence of such powerful biological warships, even the golden fleet of the Star Spirit is afraid of it, even if it is clear that the Queen of Blades is in Char, they still have not chosen to rush to Char to avenge their compatriots in the past five years.

Before attacking Char, they had been discussing for a long time how to deal with the massive Leviathan fleet. Warfield told them that most of the Leviathans of the swarm were scattered across different systems, maintaining the current front with the Empire. There shouldn't be much of a Leviathan left in Char. It will also take time to make the leap back from the front lines to Char, and there shouldn't be a lot of Leviathan to face before they can establish a foothold on Char's surface. Moreover, the Queen of Blades is cunning, but also extremely arrogant, and unless they do establish a solid foothold on Char, she will not feel that they are a threat, let alone risk being pushed back by the Empire to recall the Leviathan.

As for the foothold they won't have, and can't be, the Leviathan fleet that would destroy the swarm, but hold the fleet as long as possible to make sure it can't support the swarm on the ground until the artifact is fully charged and the blast is fired.

According to the Empire's intelligence, every biological warship like the Leviathan is commanded by a worm mother of the swarm. These mothers are similar to the brain worms of the Domination period, but they are not identical. Although these insect mothers will obey the command of their superiors like brain worms, they all have their own personalities, and most of them are cunning and cruel. According to the plan, after the impact of the artifact, the power of the Queen of Blades will be drained and degenerate back to human form, and the vast majority of the insects on Char will also be wiped out, in this case, those insect mothers will definitely not be able to continue to fight them, and they will definitely flee from Char one after another in a short period of time, until they have time to sort out their thoughts, clarify what happened, and think of countermeasures before returning to Charl, and by that time, they would have already taken the restored Queen of Blades and flown away.

But now, apart from the fact that two Imperial Warrangers reported being attacked by the Leviathan when they arrived in Char at the beginning, they had never seen any Leviathans, and this unusual situation made him suspicious.

At first, he thought it was the Queen of Blades who was setting a trap for them, but after thinking about it, he couldn't figure out how the hell that guy was going to set a trap for them with the Leviathan. If they find that something is wrong, they can just turn and run away, could it be that they want to wait for the artifact to be unloaded from the ship? But in that case, there is not much time left for the Queen of Blades, there are nearly thirty capital ships here, including a Tadarin mothership, and it is simply unrealistic to force them to abandon the artifact and flee in a short period of time.

As for the fact that it cannot be transferred in order to maintain the current territory...... This is also nonsense, she should know very well that if the artifact is activated, she will definitely be gone, who cares about what territory at this time?

After thinking about it for a long time, he could only think that these Leviathans were still on their way back, and they hadn't had time to reach Char and fight them to the death. Anyway, they can be much easier in this way, although there are many air forces of the insects, they are not as threatening as the Leviathan.

The fighting in the canyon has stabilized for the time being, but it is not enough to stabilize it. The Astral has completely occupied the predetermined clearing in the canyon, and it is time for the human forces to enter the arena. With a Tadarin prospect lighting a crystal tower in a clearing in the canyon, the landing mission was halfway complete.

Soon, blue and red light flickered within the crystal tower's energy field, and human troops from Black Rose, A1, and A6 were finally able to enter, bringing with them the heavy equipment needed to clear the sea of bugs, including deployable siege tanks and fire chariots. But at this time, the heavy units of the insects have also rushed into the battlefield, and the thunderbeast and the hive insect lord have joined the battle, and the situation has become more serious. Through the insect tunnel under the surface, a large number of units that can be buried and mobile appear directly behind the battle line, launching an assault on the tank positions that humans have just deployed.

At present, the human troops under Yang Yi have no effective way to deal with the thunder beast, but the empire does, that is, take the thunder god and the thunder beast desperately, and then other units will assist from the side. Unless it's a large-scale attack, most of the time only one thunder beast will appear on the battlefield at the same time, and Thor's methods will most likely work.

But this time, Yang Yi had not only humans under his hands, but also a promoter from Tadarin. Shantila's admonition to the Templars was that there was nothing they could do to deal with giant units like the Thunderbeasts, unless they merged into a consul, but Yang Yi strictly forbade the men under his command to play fusion without coming, especially on such a volcanic planet with unstable geological structures.

The Psychic Burst of the Promoted can effectively deal considerable damage to the Thunder Beast, the main problem is that the psionic energy is consumed too quickly, not to mention that they also distract themselves from time to time to release a ball of psionic energy to clean up other insect units on the front line. That's where the Dead Apostles come in, and these Tadarin Dead Apostles can sacrifice themselves directly to friendly units, so that the unit that receives the sacrifice can recover from their injuries and regain all of their psionic energy - but Shantila's troops would rather die in battle than accept this sacrifice, so these Dead Apostles are currently only needed by the promoted and the soul hunters who are busy fighting the dragons next to them.

Although many Dead Apostles directly exploded into red energy in front of the public, and integrated into the bodies of Promoters and Soul Hunters, the final effect was quite significant. Yang Yi watched with his own eyes as a thunder beast that followed the jumping worm from the path of the canyon under the fire of siege tanks suddenly appeared on its body as it approached the battle line of the star spirit, and then the entire thunder beast burst into a large cloud of blood mist and disappeared into the sea of insects with a dull loud noise—and the price was the lives of several dead apostles.

Shantila's expression has never been very good-looking, and her evaluation is very simple: "What a barbaric custom......"

Talis scoffed at this.

"But we call it efficient."
