"Boss, we'll be at Marker Number Three in fifteen minutes."

"There's a little bit of a situation here, boss, do you want to sleep for a while? Not awake yet. ”

"Be one with me...... Ah! ”

Ritsu's realistic projection covered her forehead and crouched down next to the medical cabin.

Yang Wei sat up from the rest cabin with a dark face, and then saw the projection screen in front of him.

The image he had seen in that 'strange state' before resurfaced.

The difference is that the projection screen shows a real-time image from a certain part of the Empire's airspace.

There is no place for the Valkyries here.

Yang Wei was silent for half a minute.

He understood how powerful this queen was.

The queen of the fifth-order swarm already has a strong combat power, and is no longer the weakest link of the swarm.

The Sixth-Order Queen, who is about to ascend to the Dimensional Queen, is already the most powerful creature in the Milky Way galaxy in her own right, and can even lead the swarm to cross the boundless intervals of large galaxy clusters and migrate across large galaxies.

In short, the empire is in big trouble.

"How's the Imperial Legion going to defend itself?"

Ritsu didn't dare to joke more, so he stood aside honestly and turned on a series of projection screens.

The first line of defense outside the Emperor Star Circle has gathered nearly two thousand firepower warships at this moment. Four dreadnoughts, like giant gun barrels, were guarded by various ships, suspended in different directions on the front.

Yang Hao could see at a glance that the empire must have buried ambushes nearby.

This formation is obviously to fight a war of semi-encirclement and annihilation.

Behind the arc of defense lines paved with these firepower warships, there are countless supply ships, transport ships, and maintenance ships.

In the rear of the battlefield, you can still see the continuous leaping light, and there is still a steady stream of ships converging here.

Counting the entire net worth of the Falling Wind Empire, it is not comparable to one-tenth of the military power gathered here......

There is also a gap between empires and empires.

What's more, this is far from the entire military power under the control of the Imperial Military Department.

At this moment, there are still more than a dozen 'extermination battlefields' in the empire that are fighting fiercely, and the rest of the battlefields that have eliminated the mother insects, and there are also a large number of local defense fleets clearing the remaining insect swarms.

This is the military power of the Empire.

Yang Wei asked: "How far are we from the No. 3 target point?" ”

"Thirteen minutes," Ritsu reminded, "Boss, this queen is too powerful, even if the Empire's invincible ship group can stop her, it will inevitably pay a huge price, the Imperial ship group is likely to stretch the defensive line, you better ......"

"We continue to support the established Third Administrative Star, and we still aim to exterminate the fourth-order female worm."

Yang Wei Zhengse said:

"My physical strength is improving, but my spirit is already very tired, and I can only support one more battle."

"The process of this battle is as long as possible, after I destroy the queen, the purpose is to clean up the remaining swarm, if the Imperial Military Department sends an order, it will be said that I am injured and comatose."

"I have to avoid this sixth-order female worm, this is not an existence that I can fight against at this stage, if I show up, it is likely to become her priority target."

"This is a war that belongs to the Empire."

"Yes," Ritsu breathed a sigh of relief.

She is really afraid that her boss will be a big hero of the empire as soon as her brain is hot.

Yang Wei looked at the projection screen for a while, opened the Imperial Star Map again, searched carefully for a while, and raised his hand to draw a barren star field.

Po Sa is in that direction.

He jumped out of the rest cabin, took the combat uniform and toothpaste-like nutritious meal from 026 on the side, quickly replenished his energy, dressed neatly, and ran towards the tail cabin.

He gave up a ghost mecha before, and now he only has one ghost available.

"Boss," 026 chased after him, "026 has applied to fight!" ”

"Well," Yang Wei nodded, "When I kill the queen, you come out and harvest the insects together." ”

"Okay...... Yes, sir! Boss! ”

……

'Thomas, the safety of the empire is on your shoulders. ’

Lieutenant General Thomas stood in front of the command podium with a gloomy face.

This two-thousand-meter medium battleship has opened the all-domain command mode, and in Thomas's sight, each warship formation has become a chess piece, as long as he makes any move, pushing, dragging, and moving these formations, there will be corresponding ships to get the command order and complete the transfer as soon as possible.

The air combat flag is a compulsory course for every imperial general.

Of course, Thomas's orders will be optimized and completed by the supercomputer group through detailed deduction and calculation.

- This way of commanding war can only appear in super-large-scale wars of ships and regiments.

Come on, swarm.

Thomas adjusted his breathing to keep his mind calm, and he repeatedly deduced the tactics he might use.

He didn't think about what his future holds.

Behind him was the most densely populated administrative district of the Empire.

In this battle, there is no way back.

"The target swarm has begun to jump, and the landing point is the third prediction point."

So close to them directly?

It seems that this queen did not take the regular fleet of the empire into account.

Thomas has received detailed information that this queen had invaded the Empire a thousand years ago and was successfully expelled by the Imperial Fleet.

Today's empire, even if it is a little weaker than it was a thousand years ago, is not something that these non-human beings can watch!

"Report the white ghost location."

"General! The White Ghost has annihilated the third fourth-order female worm and saved one-sixth of the population of the target administrative star! Judging from the battle situation, the white ghost was almost exhausted, and in the process of fighting with the fourth-order queen, he was surrounded by the Zerg guards, and the queen was killed by high-performance bombs and mecha self-detonation. ”

Thomas frowned slightly: "Notify all the armed forces in the vicinity of the White Ghost and support the White Ghost in time!" ”

"Yes, General!"

"General, why don't you send the white ghost here to support, isn't he able to restrain the swarm? Even if it affects bugs. ”

"You can't ask a hero who has defended the people of the empire to do what he can't do anymore."

Lieutenant General Thomas said indifferently:

"He has transferred three battlefields in a row, each time he has gone alone to raid the Queen Motherworm, and it is natural that he has recovered huge losses for the Empire."

"The next enemy belongs to us and to the empire."

From Thomas's commanding perspective, a thin black line appeared in the starry sky ahead.

The universe is already empty, cold, and dark, but the black line is so abrupt.

"General! The target swarm has made the jump! ”

"The enemy is accelerating forward, and it is expected to be within our longest range in twelve minutes!"

"The swarm is starting to unfold! They wrap the mother worm! Estimated swarm size...... Three billion .9 billion! According to bioenergetic feedback, the vast majority of them are sixth-order adults! ”

General Thomas pondered.

Generally speaking, there will be some mutant individuals in the swarm, and there will also be individuals of the higher order.

However, the sixth-order swarm is the final form of the spatial zerg in the three-dimensional world (the calculated time dimension is the four-dimensional world), and there will be no seventh-order adult to survive in this dimension.

How difficult are sixth-order adults to deal with?

The body length of the ordinary sixth-order basic insect is between six and twelve meters, and the body structure is relatively simple, and half of its body weight is made of a hard shell.

Tier 6 basic adults can fire bio-energy light projectiles with their tail and mouthparts, which can easily destroy small patrol boats; They can also allow individuals to link with each other to jointly produce more powerful light bullets, and the energy carried by this light bullet is positively correlated with the number of adult combinations.

Not only are the long-range attack methods amazing, but ordinary sixth-order adults can already activate energy shields to protect themselves.

Their blades could easily tear through the outer armor of battleships, and the corrosive liquid ejected from their mouthparts could directly melt common ship alloys.

And those, on the basis of ordinary adults, mutated to produce various types of specific insects......

"The mother worm is starting to slow down!"

The signal corpsman's shout caused General Thomas to pause his thoughts and focus on the screen in front of him.

The giant female worm began to slow down, remaining relatively stationary with the human colony, but most of the swarm did not stop moving forward, but continued to accelerate.

The original thousands of giant Zerg warships have been quickly reorganized.

Sixty percent of the swarms spread out in space.

They are huge, like this powerful human ship, but they are still incomparably small in the background of space.

Dispersing and assaulting human ships is a common tactic used by high-level swarms, which can effectively reduce the losses of swarms when charging.

In the swarm of insects that rushed forward, a large number of sixth-order adults shrank again, and they combined into twelve giant battleships, protecting the twelve pseudo-female insects in the center of the battleship.

The logic of this war is simple.

As long as more than half of the bugs pounce on the battleship group, the human fleet will lose its chances of victory.

All they have to do is destroy the swarm in front of them!

"Command the ships."

Thomas's voice appeared throughout the defensive line:

"The swarm has scattered towards us."

"The Dreadnought battle group locks onto the airspace where the pseudo-female worms are located, and defeats these pseudo-female worms in three charging cycles."

"The battleship turned on the full secondary gun mode, and the secondary gun covered the killing, saving the energy of the main gun."

"The cruiser turns on the all-gun mode, and the gunboat fills the firepower gap according to the command system mark."

"Shield ship forward."

"Repeat, shield ship forward."

In the human ship group, more than 200 large ships in the shape of umbrellas slowly moved forward, spreading a thick film of light in front of the group.

The swarm swarmed forward, disturbing the gravitational pull of space, sending humming vibrations from the hull of the human ship.

The soldiers were silent as they completed one command after another.

The officers stared nervously at the various displays.

The general looked out into the distance, staring at the she-worm.

Outside the range of the ship, orange-yellow balls of light were squeezed out of the tail, and a brilliant light curtain was spread out in the cosmic space.

……

Get one’s dander up.

When Yang Wei saw this scene with holograms, he didn't know how to express the shock in his heart.

Looking at these low-level insects flying around outside the mecha control room, I always feel that these fourth-order insects ......

It's pretty cute.

Is the sixth-order swarm too strong?

In the holographic projection, four ion beams hundreds of meters in diameter suddenly shone brightly, and the insect swarm was torn open with four long cracks, and the four Zerg warships wrapped in pseudo-female worms were instantly defeated, triggering a series of 'vacuum nuclear explosions' along the way.

Yang Wei clearly saw that the powerful barrier formed by the sixth-order insect swarm allowed the four pseudo-female insects to survive for more than ten seconds under the fire of the dreadnought.

The swarm is still rushing forward.

The remaining eight pseudo-female worms did not react, and the swarm was even dispersed, faintly surrounded by the human ship.

The Zerg rain of bullets struck, and the energy shield of the shield ship did not move at all.

There were dozens of ships on the edge of the formation that were in danger of being shielded, and more than a dozen small warships were directly broken through the shields and became victims of the first wave of attacks of the Zerg.

More than 300 battleships began to shoot with secondary artillery covering!

Thousands of cruisers became the main force of long-range operations.

Gunboats of all types were used as firepower supplements to steadily fill all firepower vacancies.

The swarm melted rapidly under ion beam and laser irradiation.

The rear supply ship opened the bomb bay, and countless missiles dragged the tail flame and scattered the fire into the airspace ahead.

Deep space mines began to detonate in batches, and countless balls of scorching light appeared in the swarm, tearing open regular gaps in the spread of the swarm.

The swarm doesn't care.

The swarm continued to disperse evenly, maintaining an accelerated forward rush as if the front was their final destination.

The human ship group is in full swing.

The four dreadnoughts continued to recharge, but it would take about five minutes for the second shot to be completed.

The dreadnought's firing strength has been carefully calculated, and it is not a full-energy shot, but just enough to defeat the pseudo-female worm, otherwise the charging interval cannot be so short.

In the past hundred years, the largest war between humans and the Zerg has entered a white heat.

"Alas......"

Yang Wei sighed softly and moved his neck back.

He was hiding in the cockpit of the New Red Oni at the moment, sitting in the co-pilot's seat.

The new Red Ghost is a two-person cockpit, with a cockpit tilting design, the co-pilot on the top, mainly responsible for the fire control system, and the main pilot on the bottom, with full operation authority.

At this moment, 026 is driving the Red Ghost, responsible for driving and firing, constantly chasing the bugs fleeing in space.

The Dongfeng was right behind them, its secondary guns constantly strafing, sweeping away small swarms of insects that could pose a threat.

Yang Wei didn't spend too much mental energy when he killed the third queen, and he didn't have to worry about anything at the moment, just responsible for maintaining the intimidation of the insect swarm, enjoying the strange creatures harvested by his subordinates, and observing the all-out war taking place in the distant star field.

Yang Wei suddenly thought of something.

"Lil, what are they doing in the new Federation?"

"Gathering troops," Ritsu frowned, "they didn't seem to expect such a powerful Zerg to appear in the Empire. ”

Yang Wei frowned and said, "They want to sneak attack the empire?" ”

"Uh, no, they're defending against Minte," Ryu snorted, "they're scared to death now, and they're afraid that the Zerg will also go to them to retaliate, and the whole territory has entered the highest level of defense." ”

Yang Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

He really didn't want to see this hypocritical new federation grow bigger and stronger.

"It's different," Yang Wei sighed, "It's all different." ”

Ritsu naturally knew what the boss was talking about.

What is happening in the galaxy now is completely different from the background that the boss had known in the first Trials of Civilization games.

Ritsu really wants to put a mirror in front of his boss and tell the boss that the biggest promoter of all this anomaly is right in front of him.

It's clear that the boss messed it up himself.

The boss single-handedly caused the Empire's insect plague to break out in advance, and the empire took the initiative to clear most of the buried insect sites......

"Boss, are we over here?" "There must be a lot of biological energy over there, and that's billions of sixth-order adult ......."

"Are you going to die?"

Yang Wei snorted and said indifferently:

"Be content, who can guarantee that if we pass, the mother worm will not take me as the first goal to get rid of?"

Lu smiled: "This is not like the boss, boss, you are usually very brave." ”

"That also depends on the situation, I am naturally fearless in the face of the third-order and fourth-order insect swarms, but the sixth-order peak mother worm ...... Whoever loves to go will go. ”

"Where's the?"

"She's hiding too," the corners of Yang Wei's mouth twitched slightly, thinking of the swaying singing he had heard before.

The information contained in it is not only to remind Yang Wei that 'the natural enemy is coming', but also to remind Yang Wei to 'hide quickly', so as not to lose his gene.

"Li, take advantage of the chaos to mobilize all the exploration ships of the Molly Miss Mining Group and go to the barren star field that I circled to search."

Yang Wei's eyes flickered with a faint light.

Po Xiao probably didn't expect that the 'contact' inspired by the mother worm this time just exposed her hiding area.

In the holographic projection, the four dreadnoughts opened fire again.

Yang Wei continued to immerse himself in it, feeling this suffocating space battle.

Four dreadnoughts fired two salvos, and the swarm lost eight pseudo-females and seemed to have suffered huge losses.

But in reality, the first swarm to charge forward had already crossed two-thirds of the distance at this moment, and they had only lost a quarter of their numbers.

According to the calculation of the law, nearly forty percent of the insect swarms will rush to the defense line formed by the shield ships.

Yang Wei couldn't help but think, if he was a commander, what should he do at this moment?

The overall defense line is moved back to increase the buffer space;

But that doesn't seem to be enough, and there must be other ways to slow down the swarms and allow the ship's firepower to quickly eliminate them.

Ritsu suddenly spoke next to him: "Boss, this seems to be a trap." ”
