Chapter Seventy-Three: Air Combat
After reporting on the situation of the Kronos Hive fleet, the one-horned Sarkozy did not leave, but accompanied Wei Mu and others to the star of Ziafria, wanting to witness the final outcome of this journey.
This is pretty good, and there is another high-end combat power by his side.
Although dealing with two hive tentacles at one time is a pot of raw rice, it is necessary to eat it.
The preparatory phase of the war has long been over, and the remaining battles are dominated by recklessness.
As soon as the Greenskins entered the Tiamat system, they were greeted with a warm welcome from the Tyranids.
Endless swarms have been waiting in the void for a long time, just waiting for the incoming enemy to appear. Millions of creature ships form a giant encirclement network in an attempt to strangle the Battle Moon in advance.
It seems that the Great Devourer is by no means a manifestation of a huge instinct as some scholars say, this guy has a lot of thinking ability, and he also knows that once the battle moon is close to Ziafria, it is equivalent to losing this battle - for Wei Mu and the others, even in the worst case, they can let the battle moon directly hit the giant flesh and blood building on the planet, and it is a big deal that both sides will die.
Of course, Wei Mu is definitely not aiming to die with the other party. But what if you are in a hurry and are in a hurry?
No one knows what this war will turn out in the end.
It's just that in any case, the result of the destruction of the building is unacceptable to the will of the hive, and he has put too much effort into it.
So, the black-pressed swarm pounced on the Battle Moon. Countless acid-spore shells poured out of the biological warship and fired wildly at the Greenskins.
In response, the Battle Moon unfolded a giant waaagh for protection! The stance, like a translucent green film, enveloped the entire ship in it, and the shells of the Tyranid bombarded the stance, like throwing a pebble into a lake, only to ripple from the beginning.
The greenskins used the powerful technology inherited from the ancient saints to easily eat the damage, and if they wanted to rely on long-range firepower to tear through the defenses of the battle moon, it was estimated that they would have to fight until the sky was wasted.
And Greenskin is not the master who will not fight back when he is beaten, and in the same way, counterattacks from countless artillery fire erupt from the surface of the battle moon, like a magic ball lamp hanging high above the night bar venue, constantly releasing beams of light, cutting through the surrounding darkness again and again.
Due to the dense stationing, a large number of Tyrann's biological ships were hit and torn apart by the cannon fire of the Battle Moon, and eventually turned into wreckage in the cold void.
These lost biomass cannot be recycled, because the universe is so huge, just like a drop of ink being dripped into the ocean, deliberately collecting these broken resources will lead to more consumption.
The Great Devourer soon realizes that it is unrealistic to rely on aerial combat to stop the Battle Moon.
In that case, then it is true that in the Warhammer universe, it is true that they will jump to the gang in case of indecision.
The Hive Will threw countless warriors onto the surface of the Battle Moon, and a massive number of swordsworms, spear worms, samurai, and executioners descended from the void, and like moths biting apples, they attacked the core of the giant ship, trying to completely destroy the behemoth from within.
And inside the Battle Moon, waiting for them are the number of orcs as high as tens of billions.
The Greenskin Warriors have long been stationed at key nodes on the Battle Moon, relying on the small indoor space to fight to the death against the invading insect swarm.
Their defenses are so solid that the bugs can't break through even the most superficial layer of the skin, and sometimes it only takes a single overweight boss to hold the entire entrance, and the corpses of the bugs slaughtered by the boss are hundreds or even enough to block the passage.
In addition, there are a large number of bizarre mechanisms inside the Battle Moon, such as the walls of some areas can move at will, invading insects will be directly crushed into a pile of flesh, and in some places there will be gravity imbalance, and the insects will be suspended in the air, becoming a group of live targets at the mercy of others.
However, the attack of the swarm did not take its toll on the Greenskins.
Before entering the Tiamat Star Zone, Wei Mu had the orcs use the gravity manipulation system of the Battle Moon to capture hundreds of meteorites from the universe and transform them into fortresses.
Although these battle meteorites look rough, the role they can play should not be underestimated.
Not only can they be used as kinetic weapons, falling directly from the sky and smashing them in the enemy's face, they can also carry at least 10,000 troops, which is equivalent to a giant airdrop warehouse, and can be used as a fortress after the drop, so that the orcs can rely on it to fight, which can be described as a weapon that kills three birds with one stone.
It's just that now that they have been attacked by the hive fleet in advance, Wei Mu has no way to provide protection for these battle meteorites floating outside the battle moon, and the swarm has naturally launched an attack on them, and destroyed them with a massive advantage in troops.
The millions of orc soldiers stationed in the battle meteorite put up a stubborn resistance, but were eventually swallowed up by the army of biters.
Staring at the light spots that disappeared from the screen one after another, Wei Mu's heart was full of mixed feelings for a while.
Although he repeatedly told himself that the Greenskins were nothing more than weapons and that he should not be saddened by their sacrifices, the Greenskins themselves were very happy to be able to fight to the death in a great battle.
However, seeing the Greenskins fighting to the last minute to achieve his goal, even before being consumed by the flames, he was still very moved.
"Only victory is the best way to pay tribute to the victims." Moore, who was on the side, saw his worries and spoke with relief.
In the vast human empire, similar sacrifices occur almost daily.
Most of those who died had no honor, no records, and some even had no names, but it was because of their efforts that human civilization was able to continue.
"I know, Moore...... Just to swing the sword at this dark universe, in order to resist the cruel fate brought by it, how much blood has been shed by human beings, and how much blood must continue to flow? Wei Mu sighed deeply at this.
"You've done a good job, Vimu, at least this orc legion didn't clash with the Empire, they fought for the order of the galaxy under your leadership, and many bloodshed were avoided as a result." Stern said.
"That's right." Wei Mu nodded, "But it's not enough. ”
He was well aware that it was not a question of how heroic the battle was.
As long as the major forces of order in the galaxy are still stabbing each other, no matter how brave you are, you will hold down the gourd and raise the scoop, and you will never be able to solve this messy situation.
It may be a dead knot, but someone has to untie it.
