Although the first wave of the insects was contained, this was only the beginning, and the large number of jumping insects was just an appetizer.

Swarms of Insects are constantly charging at the defensive positions, and although the petrified lizard cannons kill the swarms of Bugs, the endless number of Insects seems to never be able to kill.

Soon, the Insect Offensive on Masala escalated, with more advanced Swarm units appearing on the battlefield, such as Swarm Hosts and Allosaurus.

Large swarm hosts took root outside the range of the defensive line, and then a large number of locusts hatched out and rushed towards the position.

These locusts, hatched with very short lives, are disposable cannon fodder for the swarm, and they only need a little biomass to be able to create to attract enemy fire.

The swarm launched round after round of charges, and although each charge was suppressed by the soldiers on the first line of defense with abundant firepower, the long fire coverage also made the ammunition on the line somewhat stretched.

"Where's the ammo box? Change ammo for this tarantula battery. A squad leader on the left side of the line screamed at his men, his laser rifle shooting at the rushing jumping worms until the battery was depleted.

His soldiers dragged a box full of explosive ammunition from nearby and hurriedly replaced the tarantula turret that had ceased fire, and with a click, the tarantula turret once again sprayed a barrage at the rushing jumping insects.

"Damn flying bugs, where are the anti-aircraft guns? Where is our Air Force? ”

A large number of allosaurs approached the line like dark clouds, and before they could throw blades at the humans on the ground, Thunderbolts and Fury Interceptors intercepted them.

In an instant, a huge amount of explosive bombs and lasers slashed through the sky, and the high-power multi-laser directly roasted the allosaurus in mid-air, and the nuclear fusion warhead of the explosive bomb directly shattered the allosaurus from the inside out.

The allosaurus in the sky decreases at a speed visible to the naked eye, but the attacks of these flying bugs are not without effect, the allosaurus throws bladeworms capable of "degrading explosions", these bladeworms can penetrate the armor of Viking fighters, although the fighters of the Human Empire have always been known for their rough skin and thick flesh, but hundreds of successive attacks still severely damaged the fighters in the air combat with the allosaurus.

Compared to the furious interceptor, which was more heavily armoured, the weaker Thunderbolt suffered losses after multiple rounds of armor attack. Five or six Thunderbolt fighters fell to the ground in smoke, and the pilots above were afraid that they would not be able to escape because they had fallen into the control zone of the alien insects.

"Find a way to get rid of the spores on their backs, they're hatching more bugs." When the company commander in the high place discovered the host of the swarm, he immediately commanded heavy weapons to clear them out.

Under the manipulation of the mechanical priest, the tarantula turret mounted with the Helios missile launcher slowly rotated to aim the muzzle in the direction of the swarm host.

The spirit of the tarantula turret locked onto the target and immediately launched all the Herios missiles, and the swarm hosts in the distance had already sensed that something was wrong and wanted to change positions, but before they could pull their bodies out of the ground, the missiles had already landed on the ground.

Eight Herios missiles caused a violent explosion that swept away dozens of swarm hosts.

"It's a good fight, reload the missiles quickly."

Just as the technicians were methodically reloading the Herios missile, there was a violent tremor on the ground, and several tunnel worms suddenly rushed out of the ground, spitting out a large number of jumping insects, stinging snakes and cockroaches in the defensive line.

"The bugs have entered the first line of defense, what should we do?"

"Space Marines have entered the battlefield to stabilize the defenses."

On the second line of defense, Sergeant Maghra pulled out the power axe from his waist, and after pressing the switch on the axe handle, the entire axe blade was instantly covered by a crackling blue arc of electricity.

Margha then jumped into the trenches of the first line of defense, and as soon as he had entered them, several jumping worms rushed towards him.

Looking at the few bugs rushing over, Margera's heart did not fluctuate, he just raised his left hand, and then pulled the trigger, bang, two gunshots, the blaster pistol directly shot and killed the first two bugs, and then Magra swung his tomahawk to slash at the remaining jumping worms.

Magra was a soldier of the War Dog Legion during the Great Expedition, and he was not well known among the War Dog Legion, but his superb axe skills made him an excellent non-commissioned officer.

The jumping worm was struck by the crackling power axe as if it had actively crashed into his axe blade, and the carapace that had once resisted the laser rifle shot was like butter cut by a hot knife in front of the axe blade, and the flesh of the insect was melted by the ultra-high temperature, emitting an unpleasant smell of burning.

The blades of the axes flew, and with just a few careless swings, more than ten insects died at the hands of Margera, not even the cockroaches with hard shells, and the chitin shells that could withstand Gauss rifles in front of the power axe were as thin as paper.

Marghera's carnage was just a microcosm of this battlefield, and as the Space Marines threw themselves into the battle against the swarm, the first line of defense was once again solidified.

With the expansion of the Star Marine company, the original relatively abundant power weapons have also become somewhat scarce, so the power weapons that every Space Marine can equip have become used by non-commissioned officers and veterans, and the recruits use chainsaw swords uniformly. On the battlefield of Massala, half of the Space Marines are fighting with chainsaw swords.

Compared to the efficiency of power weapons, the chainsaw sword is quite brutal, and in the roaring turning sound, the single-molecule sawtooth stirs the flesh and blood of the insect into a blur, and the juice overflows, and the blood of the insect is also stained with the armor of the warriors.

While the first line of defense was solid, the battle in the air was also coming to an end, and the fighter wing of the expeditionary force cleared the threat of the Insect Air Force to the excavation base with a large battle loss ratio.

"Commander Zemol, I'm Lieutenant Ilan on the front line, the allosaurus in the air has been dispersed, and Thunderhawk can be sent for close air support, coordinates B3-F06"

"Lieutenant received, the 3rd Thunderhawk Squadron will arrive in five minutes." Hanging up the radio, Zemmor immediately began to dock with the Opal Dragon battleship in orbit.

Soon, four Thunderhawks were propelled by rocket engines into the atmosphere, and the Thunderhawk gunboats, equipped with a large number of heavy explosive bombs and six Hell Strike missiles, were able to efficiently clear enemy units on the ground.

After entering the atmosphere again, the Thunder gunboat quickly approached the battlefield at a speed of 2,000 kilometers per hour, and after the Cygnus Soul locked onto the most dense location of the insects, all six Hell Strike missiles were dropped, and the above heavy bombs also began to fire indiscriminately, and each gunboat pulled out at least six bullet chains.
