Loud sirens sounded in every battleship of the First Expeditionary Fleet, even non-combatant ships like the Enlightenment.

Scarlet lights flickered in the corridors, passages, warehouses, and other areas, and it looked as if someone had smeared those floors and walls with blood.

Soldiers and officers of various units, as well as those engineers and technicians, rushed to their posts amid the sound of sirens.

The corridors and lower decks, the train stations inside the ship, the warehouses, the weapons control room, the power room, etc., are all noisy sounds.

Even the Holy Judge was like that, full of the roars of officers, and the mechanical hoarse orders of technical sergeants.

Among them, the most tense is the escort formation of the various warships.

As soon as the alarm was issued, the command clearly ordered that except for the pilots who had just completed their rotation and were in urgent need of rest, all the other pilots should arrive at their posts as soon as possible and be ready to attack.

Aisha, a high-ranking officer who had just fallen asleep, jumped up from her bed, hurriedly put on her uniform, washed her face with cold water and trotted to the escort command room.

By the time she arrived at the command room, Deputy Manfrey and other mid-ranking officers had already arrived, and a large number of data windows were surging like an avalanche, reflecting the huge command room exceptionally brightly. The floating giant projection shows the enemy Void Power and the Imperial Void Power, which refreshes every second, representing the enemy's red dot as it moves closer to the Imperial fleet, and war is on the verge of breaking out.

Elsa walked briskly to her position, and the officers stood up and saluted her.

Without looking at the officers along the way, she walked briskly through them and walked to her position. It's not that she's disrespectful, it's just that the situation is so urgent that she really doesn't have time to do this.

"What's the situation?" She asked as soon as she sat down.

"Detected enemy fleets, about the size of our expeditionary fleet." Manfrey saluted, reported, "The scanning system has also detected a large number of small targets approaching us, most likely a formation of Void fighters. ”

"Didn't the command keep saying that there were no enemies in the Marantai system!! There is no fleet, and there are no space stations! How did a fleet suddenly run out again! Damn bastards, are they going to kill someone. Elsa wanted to put a gun to the heads of the bureaucrats and ask them how they worked, she suppressed her anger, because anger did not help the current state of affairs, only to exacerbate the chaos, she regained her composure, looked at Manfrey and asked, "How many squadrons have taken off?" ”

"The Holy Judge has currently taken off eight hundred and twenty squadrons, and with the previous cruise, it is estimated that twenty thousand Void fighters are in space. Counting the formation of fighters taking off from other warships, the number of Void fighters can reach 100,000. ”

"Damn, that's it." Elsa showed a hint of sorrow, "Let them speed up, be sure to establish the first line of Void defense before the enemy enters range, and do not allow the enemy Void fleet to harass our warships." ”

100,000 Void Fighters sounds like a lot, but the problem is that the radius of a Void War can reach hundreds of thousands of kilometers, or even millions of kilometers.

Don't think that only battleships and cruisers are the main force of the Void War, fighter formations are also an indispensable part of the Void, they are like hungry wolves, once a prey shows a flaw, they will swarm and destroy each other with the advantage of speed and numbers.

Even if all ten fighter formations are killed, as long as they can be exchanged for one of the opponent's warships, it will be all blood gain, and if anyone survives, they can basically be promoted. The escort formation is also an important line of defense to protect the warship, and having an escort formation does not necessarily make the commander victorious, but if any battleship does not have an escort formation, it is basically not far from death.

No matter how strong an elephant is, it is possible to lose the advantage of fighting because of the interference of ants, or even be bitten alive by ants, and the Void Fighter is those ants.

"Anyway, how could a fleet suddenly appear." Aisha's tone was full of confusion.

Manfrey on the side couldn't give her an answer, he was just an adjutant, and he didn't even have the power to connect with the intelligence department and the detection department. The other officers were also unable to answer, and they did not know the specific situation.

In fact, not only these middle-level officers, but even the high-ranking officials of the expeditionary force such as Wang Ben are also confused. Why did an enemy fleet suddenly appear, in the previous many scans, they obviously didn't find any clues, why did the enemy suddenly appear??

"The enemy's ships may be made of some kind of special material that can absorb signals, and when we entered those bug nests before, the communication signal was disrupted, and the deeper we got, the worse the signal became, and it is very likely to have something to do with this. If these bugs are an interstellar race and have the ability of interstellar warfare, they will definitely have some knowledge of electromagnetic communications, radar waves, neutron waves and related camouflage, and even have a way to deal with it. ”

Liu Xia combined his own experience of escaping death from the lair and put forward his own opinion, which was supported by the general technical consultant - Morton.

Liu Xia's words are very reasonable, if these insects were born in other galaxies but can come to the galaxy, then they are by no means a race that knows nothing about technology. Because that kind of race can't cross the galaxy, look at the races that have fled beyond the galaxy, it's because they like to stay outside the galaxy, no, they just don't have the courage to cross the distance of hundreds of thousands of light years, the more barren and uninhabited the place, the more chaotic and disordered the subspace is, because there is nothing there. Unlike the Milky Way, which has given birth to too many lives, order has become a part of it. ”

"The order of reality also affects the subspace, so there are still traces to follow in the shallow subspace, as long as you follow a certain method, you can complete the journey of the subspace. Outside, the subspace is pitch black, all chaotic and disorderly, if they don't have the right direction, they won't be able to reach another galaxy at all, they will be lost in the subspace, even if they go out, they may be sent far away, and there is no hope of returning to the galaxy. ”

Morton's words once again gave people a new understanding of these bugs, they are not brainless animals that only act on instinct. The fact that these bugs have been able to cross distant interstellar distances and arrive here means that their knowledge of the universe has reached an extremely high level.

Their level of technology may be even higher than that of the original Human Alliance, and when you see what they look like, you have to use the shallow knowledge of humans to trap them. There are many ways to develop technology, and it doesn't necessarily mean that it has to be a steel flame to be technology.

At this point, a request pops up in the projection in front of everyone.

Finnew resent a packet.

After Wang Ben reached out and clicked on this data, he found that it showed the movement trajectory of the insect swarm and the detailed appearance of the photograph.

"I analyzed the movement trajectory of the swarm fleet, which may have been hidden in the asteroid belt and used meteorites to obscure our observation and scanning, plus their biological warships seem to be able to absorb cosmic radiation, so we ignored them."

As they listened to Finnew's report, they observed the footage of the creatures and ships in which they looked strange.

Some resemble slugs, some resemble void whales, some resemble squids dragging long tentacles, and some resemble beetles, but they are only a million times larger, ten million times larger.

Some of the creatures have wings, fins, and so on, and every combination of life is revealed, they are fused, they are transformed.

These strange creatures fly in ways that humans can't imagine, and of course they are not only composed of biomass, but also some inorganic substances, such as rocks, metals, etc., I don't know how they do it, they may eat it and then secrete it, forming a hard carapace connected to flesh and bones, and its defense is by no means weaker than that of human alloy armor.

"The swarm, a good name." Wang Ben said, "Hiding in the asteroid belt to avoid detection, it seems that they are really cunning and smart, and they are not brainless creatures." Elsa, Void Warfare is your domain, no problem, right? ”

"Don't worry, I'll shred these bugs." Elsa said.

"I believe in you." Wang Ben walked to the observation window, looked out, and looked directly at the biological warships that emitted light from the tail, these bugs were much more advanced and powerful than the Kra parasite, and it would be a more tragic battle than the Big Dipper Star Field.

There is a reason why the God Emperor assigned them here, even if it is the first legion after the split, it is also the first choice to undertake big battles and tough battles.

"The swarm." Wang Ben lowered his voice, clenched his fists, and stared directly at the void outside, his gaze gradually becoming solemn. Marantay's swarm is estimated to be just the beginning, and in the interior of the sector, there will be even more of them.

But no matter what, he will do his best to win, for the sake of the God Emperor, and for the sake of the entire human race, these damned alien races must be expelled.

And on the bridge on the other side, Elsa gave the order to go to war.

Several heavy battleships led by the Quang Ninh formed a spearhead formation, other light battleships, heavy cruisers lined up on both sides, and the Shengju was at the back of the formation, forming a standard battle formation.

The dense artillery fire began as soon as the swarm fleet came into range, surging and lighting up the void in an instant, while the creature fleet launched a counterattack at the same moment, squirting scorching plasma streams and beams like wriggling cysts.

The sound of bells and sirens, as well as the humming of machinery, echoed through the battleship as swarms of Void fighters swooped down on the enemy and fought their way through the vast void.

Every time the light appears, it means that someone has returned to the arms of the God Emperor.

The battle is intense at the beginning, with both sides draining each other's vital forces in the most brutal way.

While the Void War was in full swing, another war was also quietly unfolding, but this war had not yet been realized by humanity.

The swarms are more cunning than one might think, and they will also use tactics, all sorts of insidious tricks, and they will use them as long as they can win.

They disguised themselves as meteorites and approached the Imperial ships and crawled silently on the hulls, and when they were close enough to the entrance, they abandoned the meteorite shells, leaving only the baby's fist-sized body inside the battleship.

On deck 202, more than a dozen insects disguised as meteorites silently infiltrated the Holy Judge along the shielding force field. Due to the alarm, the Holy Judge was in a panic at this time, no one realized that something had infiltrated, and this target was too small, which was completely different from the void wars that humanity had experienced before.

The bugs are not brainless and ferocious monsters, they are intelligent hunters, and when they enter the inside of the battleship, they are the first to stay away from the noise of the crowd, and they may expose themselves to the lone soldiers and staff.

Two soldiers were stationed at a center and served as guards. It's a boring job, and usually, they pass the time with small talk.

"It's going to be war again."

"I hope this time goes well, I want to be promoted."

"Haha, you're not afraid of dying."

"If my life is gone, I will be gone, but if I can't get ahead, I won't be willing to die."

The two chatting vigorously had no idea of the bugs crawling above them.

Just when they let their guard down, thinking that there would be no enemies inside, two bugs flew down.

They eject air from their bulging bellies and extend a thin film that they use to orient themselves. The two bugs rushed towards the two soldiers at great speed, and one of them happened to be opening his mouth to speak, and the bug went down his mouth, causing him to blush instantly.

The other soldier was stunned when he saw this, and before he could react, another bug appeared on his face, and its sharp forelimbs instantly cut through his skin and crawled through the wound.

"Damn, what is this." The soldier kept slapping his hand on the face of the squirming face, his tone full of fear.

The two tried to sound the alarm, but the bugs were clearly carrying some kind of neurotoxin, and they fell to the ground and convulsed. After a while, their whole bodies were motionless, and after a few more minutes, they opened their eyes again and got up from the ground.

Apparently, there was nothing abnormal, except for a slightly stiff expression and uncoordinated body movements.

The two of them moved their hands and feet to adjust to their bodies, and one of them opened his mouth, only to see a long tentacle sticking out of his mouth, dropping mucus ticking, and there was a hollow bone tube at the end of the tentacle, as if it was used to discharge something.

The soldier manipulated the tentacles to crawl and whip through the air at will, and it took a few moments before he retracted the tentacles.

At this time, the sound of footsteps came, and another soldier ran over panting, propped his hand on the door, and said to the two, "I said that the two of you must be fishing here, two disloyal fellows, you will fish when the war starts." ”

The soldier walked in with a smile on his face and chattered, "Take me with you when you touch the fish." To be honest, the ground commandos just can't do it, every time those guys go to war, we can only watch, and we can't even get any merit, it's really infuriating. When will I, Sergeant Rolf, become Lieutenant Colonel Rolf? ”

The two stiff-faced soldiers watched the newcomer chatter without any change in expression.

One stood in front of him, and the other silently circled behind the other.

Rolf laughed as he pulled out three fine cigars from his bosom, "This is from the chief, good goods." You two bastards are so blessed to be brothers with me. ”

As he spoke, Rolf sensed that something was wrong, and he looked up to see his companion with a stiff face, and he was blocked by another person behind him.

This scene instantly chilled his heart, there was a problem at first glance.

In order to protect the fragile human civilization, the Empire has opened up a portion of its knowledge of subspace to the Expeditionary Force.

Rolf was a scumbag at school, but he had also learned about strange creatures and the strange events that took place in various worlds.

After entering the army, instructors and military instructors will also admonish them from time to time and organize learning. In the military code, the military also deliberately wrote some precautions.

One of them is that if you find that your partner is abnormal, then he may be really abnormal, or even no longer your companion, please tell your nearest pastor and boss, and even all the senior you have access to. Even if it's a false positive, you won't be punished in any way, just pay more attention next time, and be careful not to make multiple false positives and waste the energy of the people involved, otherwise you will be seen as an accomplice if a real weird incident happens because of your false positive.

The Empire is a strict guard against strange invasions, encouraging people to monitor each other, report cultists, and report those around them who may be corrupted.

In daily study, the instructor requires all soldiers to put loyalty first, no matter what the situation, loyalty first, even if their parents, lovers, and brothers are shot in front of them, they must remain loyal and not make wrong decisions because of selfish feelings.

"You guys? Don't pretend to be scary, it's a violation of discipline. Rolf said as he touched the gun, he thought about sounding the alarm directly, but he was afraid that it was just a prank by the two of them, and when the time came, these two unlucky guys would definitely be punished, as a hardcore brother, he decided not to make a big deal and scare these two guys with a gun first.

However, the other party was faster than him, and in the moment of being pounced, Rolf truly understood for the first time the reason why the instructor asked them to put their loyalty to the God-Emperor and humanity above family, love, and friendship.

That kind of rule is cruel and inhumane, but it is the way to minimize human losses in this dark universe.

If you put your loyalty to the Emperor and humanity first, even if you can't save your own relatives, lovers, and friends, you can save other people's relatives, lovers, and friends.

He should be the first to raise the alarm, even if it is a false alarm, there will be no punishment, the punishment will be the two friends who joke with him, he will also be rewarded, and his boss will praise him for acting carefully, observing sharply, and being loyal to the God Emperor more than anything else.

But he had illusions about his brother that it might just be a prank, and that if the alarm was sounded and it was found to be a prank, their friendship would be lost.

Rolf looked in horror at his brother standing in front of him, who opened his mouth, revealing sticky tentacles sticking out of his mouth, and then slammed into his mouth, filling it to the brim.

Rolf struggled as hard as he could, but after a few moments, his eyes were glazed and he was powerless to struggle any longer.

After a while, he got up again, his face stiffened like the other two.

They numbly walked out and towards more people.

And bugs in other places have also quietly completed parasitism.

They are constantly picking on lone people, quickly expanding their ranks and infiltrating important areas. While this Void Station was in full swing, no one expected their invasion.

Sima Changguang walked out of the arguing strategy room, intending to catch his breath. Void warfare doesn't require ground troops, and they, the army commanders, have nothing to do but watch the battles and encourage their soldiers.

As for the tactic of gang jumping, it is exclusive to legionnaires, ordinary troops have not yet completed universal strengthening, and to carry out gang jumping is to deliver food, and when the imperial army fully completes the reinforcement, Shangfeng may let these ordinary troops go to jump gangs, for now, don't even think about it.

Sima Changguang stood in a shadow, skillfully lit a cigarette, the fire appeared in the darkness, he took a deep breath of smoke, making the fire brighter and brighter, and his heart became calm at this moment.

Tobacco and alcohol have the effect of calming people down, and it is the best choice when you are anxious.

The two soldiers walked straight from the other side of the corridor to Sima Changguang, who was smoking, and their steps were slightly numb and mechanical, making Sima Changguang show a trace of confusion and a faint uneasiness in his heart.

"Who are you and how did you get here??"

"I'm Sergeant Rolf. Dexter. Among them, the soldier was expressionless, looking like a living corpse, and he had a mechanical feeling when he spoke, but he was obviously a living person, and he would speak with a certain emotion, even if he was well disguised, he would have emotions, and indifference and calm were also a kind of emotion.

"I ask why you're from here??" Sima Changguang frowned, he put his hand on the gun pouch on his waist, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger. Before his father, Sima Gong, died, he was the commander of the Star Guard in Betelgeuse.

At that time, he often acted with the Demon Hunting Court and had seen many types of strange events.

There are some strange people who will possess and move on the body of humans, and they don't seem to be abnormal on the outside, but in fact, they have been corrupted, and even their thoughts have been distorted. Sima Changguang had suffered this loss, if he hadn't been saved by Dante, who was traveling with him, he was afraid that he would have died a long time ago.

"I'm Sergeant Rolf. Dexter, I'm here to deliver the intelligence papers. The soldier repeated again, while the other soldier bypassed, trying to cut off Sima Changguang's retreat.

Sima Changguang relied on his intuition and sensed that something was wrong, he immediately pulled out his gun and pointed it at the head of the sergeant named Rolf, "Now, immediately hold your head in your hands and squat, you have been arrested." ”

Probably realizing that his disguise had been discovered, the soldier pounced on Sima Changguang, and a long tentacle stretched out from his open mouth, and another soldier also pounced towards Sima Changguang, also sticky tentacles stretched out from his mouth.

Based on the simple brotherhood, Rolf did not sound the alarm at the first time, which led to the expansion of the parasitism of the swarm. Please don't hold every character to a high level of morality, even after a lot of battles, people will still make mistakes in terms of camaraderie, loyalty, and duty.

I don't know how to draw an AI with a parasite, so let's imagine it according to the parasitic beast larvae.

Six thousand two, the first chapter, and one more chapter in the evening, brothers, ask for votes every day.
