Chapter 59: The Swarm Strikes
After that, several more Terra months passed.
The humans on Oster have long been evacuated, and the rear defense line is also in full swing.
Under the constant call of the Green Prophet, more than 10,000 super-heavy bosses have gathered here, tens of thousands of warships are hovering in the outer orbit of the planet and ready to go, and there are countless orc boys waiting to be beaten, various bunkers, strongholds and fortresses have sprung up, and tunnel fortifications have emerged one after another.
And according to the information sent from the rear, the orc powerhouses in the entire Octarius star field have begun to surge at a rate far greater than before, and they are all ready for this magnificent war.
And the terrifying enemy who tried to devour everything is now close to them.
The first signs come from subspace.
The proximity of the Leviathan Hive fleet brought a great shadow, preventing the navigators from seeing the light released by the Terra Torch, and the Starwhisperers did not dare to observe the movements of the Sea of Souls, or the great will would easily drive them into madness.
Then a boundless darkness clouded the sky, and countless swarm creature ships arrived above Oster.
They surround the planet like a giant bacterium in the microcosm devouring another, smaller bacteria, trapping its prey, shrinking, slowly strangleholding, and then digesting.
The Great Devourer was hungry, and the attack from the swarm soon descended on Oster.
The orc ships opened fire on the incoming bugs, and countless cannonballs rained down on the body of the Tyranid behemoth.
However, the creatures were too big to kill them with unusually ferocious firepower, and even then, there would always be more bugs to take their place in the place of their dead compatriots.
The acid spore bombs sprayed by these biological warships were not to be underestimated, and the orc waste ships were penetrated one by one, and the outer orbit of the planet was suddenly plunged into a sea of fire.
Parallel to the intense space rush was the landing on Oster itself, with millions of spore airdrops being projected from the body of the mothership and raining down on the planet's surface.
Their numbers are so dense that the air defense system formed by the orcs does not even need to be aimed, but just blindly shoots into the sky, and can easily hit the target, and even kill multiple birds with one stone per shot.
"Praise the second brother Mao, praise the green prophet!"
The orc boys sitting in the defense and control turret were overjoyed, under its continuous attacks, countless falling airdrop sacs were blown into a pile of slime, and the number of kills on the display screen skyrocketed, this is simply the most fun shooting game in the whole galaxy.
Although the efficiency of their interception of targets cannot be reached even 1 in 10,000.
Most of the airdrop bags managed to land on the ground, and many even landed directly into the orc positions.
Such an airborne attack can usually deal a huge blow to the enemy's defenses, but the orcs are so numerous that they can easily deal with it.
Not only that, but after the orcs killed the lonely bugs, the farts ran up to them, grinding the corpses of the bugs into powder and spilling them into the dirt.
As a Green Prophet, the Green Prophet repeatedly emphasized to the Greenskins the importance of this move, and that the battle against the Tyranids was essentially a battle to consume their biomass.
Turning bugs into green mushrooms in the field can effectively reduce their power, and the Great Devourer won't realize this until a long time later.
So they have to seize this golden time to take as much biomass as possible from the bugs.
As for the bugs that charged head-on towards the greenskins, they were greeted by mines, shells, machine guns, and countless machete boys in the trenches.
In the early stage of the war, due to the adequate preparations, the defensive pressure was not great.
This is also a moment that Vimu must seize.
The early stage of the war was relatively smooth, and he gave more rewards to the orcs, which could improve the self-confidence of the orcs and help the boys quickly grow into big guys, and the big guys quickly grew into bosses.
Therefore, since the war officially began, Wei Mu has been walking around the front line almost every day.
In addition to Moore and Stern's safety, he also carried hundreds of orc technician boys with him, took them to watch the grand war unfolding on the front lines, and then asked them if they had any genius ideas in their heads.
This should be the right way to unlock orc technology, at least every technician kid who has visited Wei Mu has said that he suddenly had a burst of inspiration, and then returned to the workshop to start working on all kinds of outrageous weapons.
It takes time to make a big killer, and it doesn't have an immediate effect, just like when he sprinkled bugs into the soil and encouraged the orc boys to grow into big guys.
But it is precisely because of the lag of the effect that the puzzle pieces of the victory of the war are placed in place piece by piece, and the greedy devourer is still unaware of it.
His attention was drawn to that guy, the incomparably powerful orc warlord, the legendary warrior who won three worlds in one battle, the overlord.
After Wei Mu's various operations, today's overlord is more famous, has more kids, and is naturally more burly in terms of physique, which is a whole circle bigger than when they first met, but the combat method is still quite barbaric.
It is almost always in the place where the war is at its highest, fighting with countless bugs.
Since the start of the fight, the blood of the bugs on the claws of the Overlord Power has not dried up.
Wei Mu used the influence of his Green Prophet to equip it with a hundred overweight bosses, originally to protect it from insect assassination. As a result, with this big help, the offensive of the overlord became more and more unscrupulous, and he took the initiative to break out of the defense line at every turn, and worked with countless insects.
There is nothing wrong with this guy himself, the fight is very happy, but the over-armored boss and the guards next to him can't stand such a fierce battle, and there will be a lot of attrition every day.
At first, Wei Mu was still terrified, for fear that this invincible general he had finally created would be given in vain due to an accident, and the sword on the battlefield would have no eyes, who knows what will happen?
As a result, Wei Mu can see that as long as the surrounding security forces are still operating normally, unless the overlord deliberately sends people to the head, no matter how fierce he is, it is not a problem, but it can create many opportunities for the fart spirits to recover the corpses of bugs.
So he continued to draw new elite troops from other places to continue to build for the overlord, so that the hive will would have a good headache for this powerful orc warlord.
He was actually looking forward to it, which was equivalent to consuming other green skins to increase the experience of the overlord, and he didn't know how far this orc warlord could evolve in the end.
