Chapter 516: More Powerful Weapons
……
Ryan was still in a trance when the fleet left the edge of Tyrone's Gate and then parted ways for Terra or the Five Hundred Worlds, and even finally the flagship arrived at Tera.
Horst's apprentice, who followed Ryan to the trip, was also in a trance.
On the way back, Horst's apprentice sat opposite Ryan.
A primordial body with a height of nearly four meters, a mortal with a height of one meter and a half, one big and one small, sat opposite each other and walked the whole way.
There is only one word to describe their state at this time.
Stupid.
Ryan had mixed feelings.
On his way here, he was about to prove that he was the most qualified commander of the Empire right now by fighting the biters.
So although the original body is reluctant to help the Tyrone Star Zone, when he comes, he will even take the initiative to help the Tyrone people with advice and take on the most difficult combat missions, because he needs to prove his ability.
Now, however, Ryan feels like a fungiper.
I ran over to join in the excitement with joy, but unfortunately the excitement ended, so I left.
It even made Ryan feel guilty, not for Tyrone, but for everyone in the fleet.
As for Horst's Inquisitor Apprentice, he felt no guilt.
The purpose of the Inquisition staff is very clear, that is, to go to join in the fun, to take a look at Tyrone's secret weapon, which is the ability of the Iron Man, and then make a record so that the Inquisition will not be ignorant of this weapon.
In short, no matter what the purpose of the fleet is to go to Tyrone, they are now scattered, and those who should go to the five hundred worlds will go to the five hundred worlds, and those who should go back to Terra will return to Terra.
"Are the Tyranids not as strong as I thought?"
Ryan suddenly asked Horst's apprentice.
Although this apprentice is still an apprentice, he is already a full-fledged inquisitor, and as Horst's apprentice, he has this privilege.
Because of his identity and status, the apprentice inquisitor knew a lot about the Tyranid Zerg and knew more than Ryan.
"The Leviathan hive fleet nearly destroyed Baal."
"Dante, the leader of the Holy Blood Angel War, had to ignore the Holy Scriptures and let the various sub-regiments fight in the form of legions."
"No matter how strong you imagine the Tyranids are, they are actually a hundred times stronger than you think, they are the most fearsome predators."
The Inquisitor replied to Ryan.
Ryan fell silent after hearing this, bowing his head, the expression on his face becoming more and more solemn.
"But then again, no matter what kind of strong enemy there is, there are weaknesses after all, and whether or not they can win depends not necessarily on strength, but also on whether the combat method is particularly targeted." Again, the judge said.
Ryan knew what the weaknesses of the Tyranid were, and he had studied them when he came.
The biggest weakness of the Tyranid is that they are not good at Void Warfare.
If there is a reliable naval fleet, it can directly gain an advantage in the first stage of the invasion of the hive fleet.
No matter how many billions of bugs are in a biological warship, as long as the biological ship is blown up, they will all die.
Even Ryan had analyzed the Battle of Baal.
The angelic heirs were almost wiped out, does this mean that they are weak? Of course not.
It can only show that the naval fleets of Baal and Hades are really rubbish.
In the Battle of Hades' Shield, the Hive fleet passes through the asteroid fields that can freeze them, and then all of them are frozen.
But the Navy made a crazy decision at this point: get close to the frozen hive fleet and attack at close range.
As a result, because of this decision, the Hades Navy was completely wiped out at the beginning of the war.
If the Holy Blood Angel has a fleet like the Tyrone Navy, let the Hive Fleet try, and the decisive battle location will definitely not be Baal, but the Hades system.
But this is the truth, but it does not explain the current problem.
"What kind of fleet can wipe out an entire hive fleet?" Ryan asked.
"I don't know." The Inquisitor shook his head, "Anyway, I don't think it is possible for either the Imperial Navy or the Tyrone Navy to directly annihilate the Hive Fleet in the Void Battle, because there are too many of them, and the creature ships in the Void look as many as there are bugs on the ground." ”
With that, the Inquisitor thought for a moment, and then talked about the celestial engine.
"The Tyrone have a weapon called the Celestial Engine, but ...... Even the Celestial Engine couldn't have defeated the Hive Fleet so quickly. ”
"According to the records collected by the Inquisition during the Battle of Cadia and the Battle of Agrippina, the Celestial Engine is indeed invincible, but it is impossible to directly annihilate an enemy fleet in a galaxy."
"Thorax, this Chaos Lord has organized a casting world large enough to completely capture Agrippina, and this unfortunate ghost was the first to be attacked by the Celestial Engine."
"His fleet was crushed by the Celestial Engine's weapons almost instantly, but it was not completely destroyed, and he was able to escape before the Celestial Engine fired the next time."
"The Hive Fleet is at least dozens of times larger than the Thorax Fleet, how could it be annihilated so quickly by the Celestial Engine?"
After listening to all the Inquisitor's words, Ryan nodded in agreement.
The Tyranid Zerg is not good at void warfare, but this weakness is also compensated for by the numerical advantage, and if you want to use the fleet to play an advantage when the hive fleet invades, you can't just send warships to rush over.
Ryan had thought about how to deal with the Zerg who invaded Tyrone, that is, to contain and disperse them as much as possible, and then use the fleet to play to the advantage.
And this process will be very long, and it may take two or three years.
Switching to a celestial engine, I'm afraid it will take a few months.
It is now certain that the Tyrones have a more powerful Void Weapon than the Celestial Engine.
Due to the existence of this Void Combat Weapon, which is more powerful than the Celestial Engine, the Hive Fleet was quickly obliterated.
Let's say it's not the Zerg who fights Tyrone.
Ryan was completely instinctive in his thinking, putting the empire and Tyrone in opposing positions, and then asking himself soul questions.
If there is no Tyranid, if it is Tyrone and the Empire that are in conflict...... So was he dead just now?
Void warfare is different from ground warfare.
Even if it is a frigate with no name, its light spear can kill a primordial in one instant, but only if it has a chance to blast the primordial.
And if the Tyrone is an unknown and powerful Void Warfare weapon, if it is used against the Primordial......
"This is a crisis for the Empire." Ryan suddenly sighed.
"Huh?" The Inquisitor's apprentice looked up at Ryan.
"I say it's a crisis for the Empire." Ryan repeated.
The Inquisitor said thoughtfully, "But if you look at this from a human perspective, you will be glad from the bottom of your heart." ”
Hearing this, Ryan's eyes widened in shock.
"To stop a swarm invasion, we need to issue an extinction order to the worlds they go by, empty the biomass, and then make great sacrifices to stop them from ......"
"But now that humans have more powerful weapons, maybe one day they won't have to pay that much to stop the bugs."
"Don't you think it's human luck?"
Listening to the words of this inquisitor, Ryan lowered his head, and suddenly felt a trace of guilt.
