(Chapter 49) Tyranid Zerg (Seeking Follow-up)
Commander Emma, who hurried to the command post inside the fortress position of Planet Tyranny, was looking up at the sky with an incredulous expression.
"What's going on! What the hell is going on up there?! ”
Just look at the sky dome red by artillery fire, countless warship wrecks fell like meteors.
About an hour ago, the garrison stationed inside the system suddenly sent the unbelievable news to the planetary command channel that they had been attacked by an unfamiliar force while the system's outposts and radars were in peace.
Just moments after the message was sent, distress signals poured into the communication like a tidal wave from various warships, and from their descriptions, the elite garrison fleet was now suffering a one-sided slaughter.
In a moment, with a loud bang that seemed to tear the sky, under the incredible gaze of the fortress soldiers, they saw that the Revelation-class dreadnought ship, anchored in the planet's orbit, was dragging flames and falling straight into the planet's atmosphere.
It looks like the battle in space has come to an end......
Facing the tragic scenery in front of them, even those veterans of the legion who had experienced a hundred battles couldn't help but feel shocked, and for a while, everyone's hearts were filled with questions.
Who is the enemy? Where did they come from? What's going on in this galaxy?
Staring out the window at the burning sky, they saw a huge shadow, something slowly blocking the planet's light, plunging the earth into darkness.
In the next second, another fortress in the distance began to shoot a torrent of fire into the sky, just as the Emma commander was still wondering where the target was.
"Sir! Radar has detected a large number of targets breaking through planetary orbits! ”
What? Can......
As soon as the radar operator's voice fell, the air defense running group at the top of the fortress finally noticed what was happening in the sky.
A large number of abscesses were like egg-like twisted creatures, like a torrential rain falling from the sky, like a rapidly falling black curtain, until then a sense of foreboding began to spread in the heart of the fortress commander.
"Don't save ammo! Intercept them for me! ”
In an instant, the fortress's turret began to spew flames with all its might, sending hail of bullets into the sky, and even several anti-aircraft guns, ignoring the risk of overheating the breeches, fired the shells with the proximity function towards the black mist overhead.
But even though many of the eggs were shattered in the air, more still fell to the ground, and with the sticky sound of the flesh exploding, some of the foul-smelling eggs fell straight into the fortress.
Seeing that the still writhing creature landed not far away, some of the soldiers inside the fortress raised their laser rifles and began to get closer to them, trying to figure out what it was.
However, not long after, with a terrifying scream, more than a dozen clawed knife insects burst out of the lump of flesh, and some soldiers were killed by their scythe-like claws before they could even see their appearance.
Seeing this, the soldiers in the back row couldn't help but pull the trigger, and under dozens of accurate shots, those fragile knife insects were quickly successfully killed.
But before the soldiers could recover from their previous shock, more and more eggs had fallen rapidly in the shadow-covered sky in the direction they were.
The guards inside the fortress realized that the egg-like creature was actually a living airdrop.
With hundreds of millions of drops, the entire planet Tyranid was soon surrounded by these bugs.
With the roar of the battleship crashing to the ground, the fortress's cannons roared at the hundreds of millions of insect swarms, and even as Emma's soldiers stubbornly repelled wave after wave of insects, the number of enemies increased over time.
As the battle progressed, the soldiers in charge of the defense gradually discovered a strange phenomenon, if a bug died, its kind would be swarmed to devour the corpse of the defeated.
Soon after, as the devouring behavior continued, the insect tide in front of him actually grew at an astonishing rate, and in the initial invasion, those insects were just like wild beasts that would only bite with their claws.
There are now a large number of ranged spearworms among them, and through a spear-like creature that lives on its arms, these bugs can shoot corrosive bone spurs at the defenders inside the fortress.
What's even more troublesome is that these seemingly savage creatures have actually evolved to be able to fly, and Emma's pilots were originally able to control fighters to support the front line, but now they are entangled with those flying insects.
Watching the development of the battlefield form, it was the first time that Officer Emma, who was in the command post, felt such a tremendous pressure, and there seemed to be some force in the dark that was guiding the swarm to make them grow rapidly.
For a moment, he yelled at the nervous communications officer on the side.
"Where is the reinforcements that labor and management want?"
The officers knew that if the current situation did not change, it would not take a day for this important border system to be completely lost.
In the next second, I heard the communications officer trembling and trembling, looking like a frightened chicken.
"No news......"
"Something is interfering with our communications, I've tried everything since the beginning......"
Looking at the desperate expression on the other party's face, the officer and everyone present knew that he was finished.
Soon, just as the battle on the ground was gradually reaching its climax, more than a dozen huge tentacles were seen extending from the shadows of the sky, each as huge as a mountain peak.
Ignoring the battlefield on the ground, they plunged into the surface at different angles and began to slowly drill into the interior of the planet.
The actions of these tentacles caused a continental-level earthquake, tearing apart the positions of countless Emma, destroying many of the fortresses that were still resisting, and at the same time a large number of insect swarms were being swallowed by the ravines that were born.
However, the tentacles did not stop, and now they were gradually reaching for the inner heart of the planet, which was what the hungry swarm really wanted to obtain.
It's not the millions of poor Emma that they want to eat, it's the planet itself.
