Chapter 531: General Attack
On the 78th Earth Day of the Expeditionary Force, Commander-in-Chief Markham launched the first general attack with the Kepler Giant Zerg, more than 10,000 large warships of all kinds joined the battlefield, drones and mobile suits made millions of sorties, the Giant Bug Legion also surprised the Expeditionary Force, roughly estimated to reach tens of millions, the war illuminated the space, and the human race was still in the lead in long-range firepower, all kinds of laser cannons, neutron guns, laser cannons, and space torpedoes continued to sweep the local insect swarm, The Spacestar Fortress of the Hanxing Fleet released one of the ultimate weapons of mankind, the antimatter collapse bomb, when the two sides fought fiercely for more than 30 earths, from the situation, the expeditionary force achieved very huge results, and the losses were not small, with the destruction of a large area of the giant insect swarm, the overall advantage gradually showed an overwhelming situation, the mutation suddenly appeared, the clouds covering the vast sea surface of Kepler scattered, and countless giant insect nests flew towards space, and at the same time the depths of the sea, A giant blue beam wrapped in spiral energy passed through Kepler's atmosphere and blasted towards the space fortress at the core of the Star Han fleet, and the human mecha and warships along the way lost their energy, and once they came into contact, the ship was destroyed and killed, and the energy shield of the space star was opened, which was also the energy shield of human power.
This terrifying beam directly weakened most of the energy shield of the Battlestar, and destroyed one-fifth of the area of the Battlestar, the human fleet began to retreat, and the first general attack of the expeditionary force came to an end.
It didn't take long for the Kepler area that had been cleared by the expeditionary force to be filled with giant insects, and the suspended broods were like nightmares.
The giant worm has shown a steady stream of production capacity, and its proximity to the planet Kepler makes it much more convenient to supply than humans, and the human front line is too long.
Markham's combat style is surprisingly steady, when he saw the number of giant insect reinforcements, he decisively ordered a retreat, although he could take the risk of taking advantage of this opportunity to eliminate a wave of giant insects, but then he would fall into entanglement, and the battle damage suffered by wanting to evacuate the battlefield was incalculable, and this battle was obviously not a wave of all in, and even said that the giant insect should be a preparation that Theseus and other humans did not know, and this risk could not be taken.
The damage to the Battlestar this time was somewhat serious, and it also caused a lot of casualties, a nuclear-powered furnace has been completely destroyed, there is also a radiation leak, the engineering ship has been repaired overtime, and before the Battlestar is repaired, the expeditionary force will not easily launch a general attack.
The major fleets returned to their anchor points to repair, repair the warships, and treat the wounded, while also waiting for the second wave of weapons and equipment supplied by the logistics forces.
More than half of the Fifth Fleet, and the most severely damaged expeditionary force, was also withdrawn from the outpost to the end, and was atop the Third Conquest Fleet on Mars.
The hunter also participated in the general attack, but did not arrange the task of the outpost, no matter how strong the individual strength is, it seems to be a drop in the bucket in such a geometric multiple battle, of course, the hunter's results are very significant, especially Li Hao, Maxis and other top masters do disrupt the local battlefield of the giant worm, and as long as the mecha is not damaged to the point that it is unbearable, their continuous combat ability is very strong, and they can fight back and forth in the insect swarm, which also makes the giant worm taste the same.
In the laboratory of Battlestar, Sawutian, who was transported here, had lost consciousness, but his body was still moving autonomously, and was rapidly multiplying in a strange state of proliferation, frozen with liquid nitrogen by a group of scientists such as Jerrys, even during the war, they were studying day and night, and when Battlestar was hit, there was chaos outside, they didn't care at all, for fear that their test samples would be destroyed, and nothing else mattered.
Sawutian's body is dead, but the strange thing is that the body is still active, and it intends to proliferate disorderly, but such proliferation will only lead to collapse, and finally die completely, they still analyzed a different energy fluctuation from Sawutian's body, this weak energy fluctuation should be Theseus's "divine power", this seemingly inconspicuous energy fluctuation allows this body that should not exist to survive with the mentality of a creature, but now there is no means to retain this power, and the body of Sawutian is completely dead, This power will disappear at any time, and what it contains also makes everyone's hearts itch, the existence of this power can not only confirm that life can be created, but also that the soul can be given.
It is highly probable that the existence of humans, the Earth, and even the solar system is not accidental.
This has reached a consensus in Jares and their hearts, does Theseus have a certain connection with human civilization?
Could it be that humans were actually the seeds left behind before the Nemerian migration?
Humans and Nemerians are infinitely close in form and other aspects, except that the soul of Nimer is more powerful and closer to the gods of human legends.
Finding Theseus has become the key to this battle, through soul positioning Jeris and others are trying to estimate the general situation of Theseus, and the energy cannon that hit the Battlestar also provides them with a reference, such an ability is definitely not the power of the giant worm, but the Nemerians, and the enemy that humanity finally faces is gradually being exposed.
The front line is in a big war, and there are also endless debates within the solar system, and large-scale anti-war demonstrations broke out in various parts of the four federations, especially the moon and the earth, and some insect rights organizations believe that human beings are invaders, and this war is not necessary at all, and human beings should coexist peacefully with giant insects, plus the casualties and social instability caused by the war have bred various social problems.
Fortunately, the mainstream opinion within the Solar System Alliance is still relatively unified, this battle must be fought, and at the same time must be won, at all costs, even if it is to destroy the Kepler planet, the new information obtained by the expeditionary force is also continuously summarized to the alliance headquarters, after realizing the existence and control of the Nimerians, even if the Kepler planet is lost, it cannot be allowed to fail, once the giant insect goes to the solar system, human beings will become domestic animals, and there will be no chance to kneel.
In troubled times, the Virgin Mary is beheaded first, the opinions of the four federations are very unified, civilization wars, there is no fluke, human beings are gone, what is the meaning of the universe?
A steady stream of supplies is being transported to the front line, and the radicals within the alliance prefer to use the Janibekov cannon once and for all, although it will be much more difficult to rebuild, but this is the most advantageous way, but this is the last hand of humanity.
Markham and others on the front line also had this plan, Jares and they basically determined the area where Theseus was located according to the weak connection of the soul band, and the cannon on the sea may be a smoke bomb, and the first base of the human race in Kepler has now become the base camp of Nangong Aerospace and the giant worm.
"I don't think the war of attrition is against us, Theseus must be stalling for time, completing evolution, especially his potential impact on humanity cannot be ignored, and this war needs to be ended as soon as possible."
Everyone is very worried about Theseus's huge mental ability and omnipresent influence, it has not yet reached that extent, but some people have already had an impact, the key is that they don't know yet, let it develop, the consequences are unimaginable, giant insects can continue to produce and consume, but humans can't afford to consume, it is still under control, if the battle damage is too large, the pressure inside the solar system is also huge, if it is not handled well, it will also produce immeasurable problems, and the support that Markham and others have received is also that the alliance has withstood the huge pressure, Even after the end of the war, they may not be judged well, but it doesn't matter, as soldiers, they know their responsibilities.
"Our goal is not to exterminate the giant worm, nor to destroy Kepler, but to eliminate Theseus, which is the scourge of our human existence, and the giant worm itself is not so aggressive and reproductive."
"We adjusted Plan B, wait for the supplies to arrive and launch another general offensive, open a breakthrough, send the special operations forces down, destroy five bases, and if the operation fails, use Janibekov artillery!" Pang Pai said.
The fleet is constantly harassing with drones, and at the same time, it has been discussing the battle plan, Markham and others are staring at the black circles, and all kinds of intelligence on the front line and rear are constantly feedback, although the alliance supports, but it cannot support a protracted war, after all, the war takes place in distant Kepler, there are really a considerable number of human beings who do not understand, although the alliance gives reasons, but some people are only willing to believe in their own cognitive judgment, and this is also a considerable part of the group, this pressure is also huge.
Combining various factors, and taking into account the situation at the front, it was urgent to launch a landing plan.
"Is it necessary to have five bases, the range is too large and the difficulty is high."
"Base No. 1 must be the main attack point, this one will be led by Li Hao, but the other four bases must also be destroyed, we have no second chance, this time we will put all the landing troops into it and forcibly destroy it!" Markham said in a deep voice.
There is a high probability that Nangong Aerospace is in the No. 1 base, but the other four bases are also the base camp of giant insects, and a large number of giant insects are pouring out of them, which cannot be left alone, this battle is two-pronged, air strikes, ground cutoffs, and it has always been believed that the combat command of giant insects is commanded by the mother nest or brain worm, and now it is completely under the control of Theseus, and cutting off the command is the key to this battle.
Of course, if you take 10,000 steps back, the ground battle will fail, or the destruction of Theseus will still have no effect on the giant worm, and at that time you will have to use the Janibekov Earth Axis cannon, the energy source of this planetary-level destruction weapon is antimatter, and the accumulation of dark matter by human beings is still quite slow, and the Battlestar only has a chance to shoot it, but as long as it hits, Kepler's surface and shallow creatures will become history.
The experiments of the Janibekov Earth-axis cannon are all in some uninhabited and inhospitable satellite and laboratory data, and this will also be the first time it will be used in real combat.
