As soon as Yang Wei's projection was connected to the virtual combat command center, he felt the tense and depressing atmosphere.

He had received news that the first planet had appeared, and that thirty-two million people of the empire had been slaughtered by the Zerg.

The disaster occurred on a planet on the inner side of the Imperial border, and the two small administrative planets with shelters nearby were unharmed.

According to the data sent back by the shelter system, the Zerg carried out a comprehensive excavation in order to find the humans hiding underground, and the Imperial ship group was actively mobilizing at the moment, but it was unable to directly attack the direction of the invasion of the swarm.

In this virtual hall, there are people running in a hurry everywhere.

When Yang Wei found Thomas, the lieutenant general was standing in front of a large screen, with a little thought in his eyes, and his expression did not show any joy or anger.

"General."

"Well," Thomas nodded, and said in a low voice, "the shielding technology has stood the test and has saved billions of lives so far, thank you Hanton, this is on behalf of the Imperial soldiers." ”

Yang Wei didn't say anything, and asked directly: "What is the current situation?" ”

"That's pretty much what we calculated."

Thomas raised his hand and swiped over it, and a rough scale map of the empire's territory appeared on the large screen in front of him, on which two large red arrows appeared.

"Just two galactic times ago, most of the galaxy was invaded by the Zerg, and fierce battles broke out in many areas.

"Although the main direction of attack of the Zerg is ours, it is not us who are the most affected right now...... Alas, humanity always has to fight natural disasters.

"The military department has begun to implement the R3 plan, in these two areas, the first sniper attack on the two swarms, with the main combat purpose of depleting the number of swarms, the appointment given to you by the military department is to accompany one of the two combat units, you can choose by yourself.

"In addition, this sniper Zerg battle is under the command of the Emperor Guard system, and you also need to obey the command and dispatch of the Emperor Guard System."

Thomas drew two circles on the map.

Yang Wei nodded slowly, with a bit of thought in his eyes.

"Do I need to strike head-on?" Yang Wei asked.

"The military department has taken into account the news you reported, and the specific situation needs to be determined by the Imperial Guard system itself," Thomas said, "Please rest assured, the Imperial Guard 2.0 system is on standby at any time, and there is nothing unusual about the Imperial Guard system at present." ”

Yang Wei: ......

Of course she wasn't out of the ordinary, she wasn't fine.

"Okay general," Yang Wei said, "I will obey orders and fulfill my duties as a soldier of the Empire." ”

Thomas laughed, and the projection patted Yang on the shoulder.

"Hanton, I actually know that you are burdened with some heavy missions, and you also have a certain rejection of the Empire, but you have to accept the shackles of the Sherman family.

"But Hanton, we must win this battle, and we must win it beautifully.

"If the Empire's losses are too heavy, when the insect tide recedes, we will be greeted by encirclement and suppression from all directions.

"The Empire needs a hero to step up, and you have the ability to do so...... The empire has officially prepared a live broadcast room for you, and the picture of you killing insects can be seen by every person in the empire. ”

Yang Wei said: "It's just seen by the people of the protected empire." ”

"The same Hanton," Lieutenant General Thomas said in a deep voice, "the first battle is crucial to morale, the whole army will watch your figure, choose a sure opponent, kill it, preferably a sixth-order pseudo-female worm or those fifth-order female worms mixed in the swarm, it must be within your grasp." ”

"Is the assault regiment I want assembled?"

Thomas said, "They're already waiting for your summons, Captain Grace, right?" The Special Force of the Stronghold of the Heavenly Wrath gathered the most elite forces, plus fifty-two Overalters, led by the asexual Angel Bligh. ”

Yang Wei nodded, and he suddenly laughed: "General." ”

"Huh?"

"Can you help me with the follow-up political implications?"

"I can only promise you on my own behalf," Lieutenant General Thomas held out his right hand, "that I will march and retreat with the heroes of the Empire." ”

Yang Wei thought for a few seconds and shook hands vigorously with Lieutenant General Thomas.

"Let my commando team go to the second marked area to prepare for battle, the command system of the military headquarters excludes me, I will take the opportunity to go out and broadcast the war live throughout the empire."

"Good luck."

Shout!

Yang Wei's projection disappeared in front of Lieutenant General Thomas.

The vice admiral sighed softly, clicked the exit button in the field of vision, and the light and shadow in front of him flowed, returning to the picture of the command center of the command ship.

Outside the porthole, there are countless ships sailing in sync.

He will lead the three major battle clusters of the Empire to face the vanguard of the Zerg's strongest swarm in the predetermined area ahead.

To Thomas's regret, he could not directly command the campaign.

In the middle of the command ship, a beam of light flickered brightly and dimly at the rate of breathing, and in the beam, the figure of the girl was quietly suspended.

The Empire's entire territory defense system has been turned on at full capacity.

……

In the Dongfeng, Yang Wei was conducting the final inspection before the battle.

There are more than a dozen mechanical guards on the bridge, and 026 and Mimiri have rushed back to the vicinity of the Falling Wind Empire, where they will lead the Dark Star fleet on a pseudo-queen hunting mission.

The Dongfeng still had half an hour to catch up with the Empire's battle cluster against the second swarm.

He will attack stealthily, in the form of a sneak attack, with the full firepower support of his own side, attack and kill a sixth-order pseudo-queen, and boost the morale of the three armies of the empire.

The mood is inexplicably a little upset.

This should have been affected by the threat of the Great Queen.

Yang Wei sat in the captain's chair, tilted his head and sighed softly.

There was a sound of footsteps on the side, and Po Xiao walked behind him and handed a golden bracelet to Yang Wei.

"What?"

"The weapon that Faya has given," she said briefly, "will be able to link with me by putting it on your wrist, and I will be able to provide you with a remote supply of bio-energy, as well as some other supports." ”

She was a little sullen.

Yang Wei laughed, held the bracelet in the palm of his hand, and felt a kind and familiar biological energy coming from it.

"You were uncomfortable for a long time, and you came up with this?"

"Well," she said, sitting aside and staring at the big screen in front of her, "our predators are here." ”

Yang Wei tried to put the bracelet on his hand, and the bracelet seemed to come to life, expanding and shrinking on its own, nesting it on Yang Wei's wrist, and then slowly flattening it, turning from a bracelet to a hand guard.

Yang Wei suddenly felt a warm current spread throughout his body.

The voice sounded directly in his head: "How does it feel?" ”

"It's amazing, it's like we're all alone."

"Combat synchronization, energy coordination," she said, "with you in charge." ”

"Thank you."

Yang Wei whispered: "And,, we have no natural enemies, only enemies." ”

"Why?"

"The term "natural predators" is like a kind of fatalism, as if we exist to defeat another creature, but we are not," Yang said slowly, "We should have our own goals in life and find our own value in existence, whether this value is actively sought or passively inherited." Destiny and mission, these two concepts can be distinguished. ”

Po Xiao nodded slowly, slightly fascinated by the big screen.

"Alright, I'm going to prepare for battle, and I'm going to check the mechs and stuff."

Yang Wei patted his thigh, exhaled softly, and got up and walked to the tail cabin.

"Will you be afraid?"

Po asked suddenly.

"Me?" Yang Wei turned his head slightly, looked at this girl who was full of holy breath, and asked rhetorically, "Are you afraid?" ”

"Well," she replied, "I'm a little afraid of the queen, and her biological abilities are terrifying. ”

"I'm fine," Yang Wei waved his hand and continued to walk towards the tail cabin, "People who have died twice are afraid that their wishes will not be fulfilled, not death and survival." ”

Po Xiao nodded slowly, slowly stood up, walked to the position where Yang Wei had sat just now, and sat down slowly with his chair.

The robot behind the console turned its head to look at this side, and Kolev's voice came from inside:

"Little girl, that chair is not for anyone to sit on."

She was puzzled: "Why? ”

"That's the captain's position."

Kolev laughed and didn't say anything more.

With a light tiptoe, he spun around twice in his chair, got up and walked to the couch in the corner, humming the pop song he had just heard.

……

Half a galactic time later.

The Dongfeng sails stealthily in a meteorite belt.

Outside the meteorite belt, pitch-black warships flew across the airspace; In front of these pitch-black battleships, a great wall of metal made of alloy is rapidly changing formations in front and rear.

On the bridge of the Dongfeng, the robot controlled by the elder Kolev sat quietly behind the console, his fingers only a few centimeters away from the two buttons.

He was staring at the passive biological detection radar in front of him, and there were already thousands of Zerg warships marked on it, including many giant Zerg warships 30,000 meters long, each battleship was composed of fifth- and sixth-order adults spreading their bodies to form a hard shell, and a large number of low-level adults or special insects were hidden inside.

Quite a few warships also have long-range strike capabilities.

And that's just the vanguard of this torrent of swarms.

Kolev was looking for their target, waiting for Yang Wei's order, and the two buttons in his hand, one was responsible for accessing the imperial command system, and the other was for the release of the tail cabin mecha.

As long as they are connected to the command system, there is a high probability that they will be exposed because of communication and contact.

- The Zerg have this ability to detect.

Therefore, the ghost attack and access to the command system can only be carried out simultaneously.

After thinking about it, Kolev decided to give full play to his role as a first mate and encourage the lost young man.

"Oh, Hanton."

Kolev said slowly: "Are you nervous now? ”

In the dim and cramped mecha control room, Yang Wei, who was facing the small screen in front of him, came back to his senses slightly: "What are you nervous about?" I'm a veteran, and I've experienced this scene I don't know how many times. ”

Kolev reminded: "This time it's the queen of the fifth and sixth orders, not the third and fourth orders you killed before. ”

"Now I am an ancient god lifeform, not a simple quasi-ancient god lifeform before," Yang Wei smiled, "Moreover, the set of mecha I am using now has adopted some black technologies that the empire does not have, and its combat power has been more than doubled compared to before." ”

"Don't you show all your hole cards," Kolev muttered, "The insect tide will recede, and the days to come will not pass?" ”

Yang Wei: ......

This old guy loves to teach people when he has nothing to do.

Yang Wei reminded: "Pay attention to the situation on the front line, our target is the command center of the bugs, when the pseudo-queen appears, if she does not enter the state of being protected by the package, this is our best chance." ”

"Be careful, don't be greedy."

"Okay first mate," Yang Wei said with a smile, "help me keep an eye on my ship when I attack." ”

Kolev paused for a few seconds, then suddenly said: "The front line is beginning to fight." ”

"Hmm," Yang Hao took a deep breath, "keep an eye on that side...... Don't worry, Ritsu is watching this now, too. ”

"Understood," Kolev suddenly became serious.

Although he is just a pirate leader, he does not dare to be careless at this moment.

Front.

The iron-walled battle arrays of the Empire's thousands of warships began to release high-energy beams.

The hundreds of Zerg warships at the front exploded like fireworks, and the bugs quickly spread a thick layer in the longitudinal dimension, rapidly approaching the empire.

A large shield beetle slowly moved forward, and their heads released a gentle light that had the same effect as the shield ships of human warships, forming the first battle array.

And further behind, batch after batch of Zerg warships slowed down and began to unfold synchronously.

The universe seems to be blooming with hundreds or thousands of magnificent flowers of life.

The insects at the front seem to be testing the firepower of the human ship.

High-level shield beetles and battleship insects rushed to the front, and the insects gathered into 'rivers', closely following behind these thick-skinned shield insects, and then these dozens of rivers began to spread in all directions.

If you zoom far enough, you can see that the bugs seem to be simulating a man-eating flower, spreading their huge calyxes in an attempt to completely engulf the human ship in front of them.

This way of deployment also made it impossible for the firepower of the human ship group to be effectively concentrated and exploded, and the effect of the main guns of dreadnoughts and heavy battleships was greatly reduced.

Full fire!

According to the battle plan, the Empire's Iron Wall Battle Array erupted with powerful firepower and began to retreat in unison.

The light of the ion beam continues to shine.

The swarm battle formation suddenly began to accelerate forward.

Regardless of casualties, they went forward one after another, but only maintained a basic spiral battle formation, and it seemed that as long as they could get close to the human ship group, they could achieve a substantial victory.

The human ship group increased its retreat speed, and countless deep space mines were trapped in the retreating airspace.

The swarm is about to touch the minefield, and the insects suddenly move up and down, simulating the sudden increase in the gravitational field in both directions.

The sixth-order special insects mixed with the ordinary adults suddenly became powerful, and a pitch-black void appeared in the space, and in the hollow, countless insects flew out one after another.

A large number of insect swarms began to leap up and down the iron wall!

Due to the influence of the powerful simulated gravity field, the movement of the Imperial Ironwall Ship Group has been slowed down to a certain extent.

The commander of the human side, the Empire's Territorial Defense System, responded immediately.

The iron wall is closed.

It was as if an alloy 'whale' appeared in the space, and dozens of whales formed a group of ship whales!

The human ship uses firepower ships and shield ships to form the periphery of the head of the 'whale', and the energy supply ship and multi-functional maintenance ship form the core, which ensures that its backward speed remains stable and in tune while outward.

The swarm is coming down and down!

In the command ship, the right hand that Li stretched out slowly pressed down, and suddenly clenched again.

The hulls of battleships turned on the launch system.

Countless high-performance blasting warhead missile swarms swayed their tail flames and flew towards the swarm of insects above and below, the light of the shaped projectiles flickering.

The swarm erupted with long-range firepower, and balls of light formed a fire barrier.

The firepower of the human ship escalated again, and the four dreadnoughts fired at the same time, and the dreadnoughts turned on the swing mode, and the ejected ion beam showed an offset of six to twelve degrees.

The upper and lower swarms have been torn open by four huge gaps!

The human ship group began to deploy accurate firepower!

Ahead.

Goo –

Quite a few humans heard this whale call.

A dark, distorted shadow of light appeared in the direction where the swarm had first appeared.

There, a pseudo-female worm more than 600 meters tall and exuding pure white light appeared on the frontal battlefield surrounded by hundreds of giant Zerg warships.

On the frontal battlefield, Grace, who was standing behind the porthole of the assault ship, and the heavily armed reformed soldiers behind him, looked at this scene with solemn faces.

This is just the initial offensive of the Bug Tide.

The Zerg has already shown such a strong strength.

Can they really win this war?

"Prepare for battle!"

Grace shouted at the top of his lungs, "That's our goal!" ”

"The swarm is starting to accelerate!"

"There's a spatial disturbance behind us!"

Suddenly!

The protective shields of many warships on the periphery of the human whale group flickered to varying degrees.

"Damn it! Hidden bugs have rushed in! They began to attack the outer layers of the ship! ”

The receiver on the wrist of Grace and the others flashed at the same time.

The order to attack has been given.
