Elsa sat on her commanding throne, staring intently at the observation window of the Holy Referee. The other ships of the First Expeditionary Fleet were suspended in the void, and the cold glow reflected by the gas giants caused their weapons to cast huge black shadows on the sides.

As the first red dot appeared at the edge of the projection, alarms sounded in all areas of the Holy Judge, and the members of the workstations, escort formations, artillery crews, and other groups all ran around, ready for a bloody battle.

"We found thousands of targets, and they were supposed to be the first wave. Fix the reports, and their number has reached tens of thousands. The officer in charge of the Void Detection Array shouted, and a dense red dot appeared on the tactical projection.

"There is an anomalous gravitational perturbation." There were officers who made loud announcements.

"The estimated contact time is 36 minutes, and the whole fleet is ready."

Elsa fed the Divine Judge's Void Lens data into a private database, through the massive optical lenses. I saw distorted rays of light, like ripples suddenly appearing on the surface of a calm lake, and the swarm had a special faster-than-light device that distorted the light, making it ripple like ripples.

They use faster-than-light flight mode outside the galaxy, approach the galaxy, and after entering the gravitational range of the star, they exit faster-than-light flight and enter regular flight.

"Prepare for battle." Elsa gave the order, "In the name of the God Emperor, we will fight until the last moment. ”

The ripples in the void disappeared, and countless creature ships appeared in front of the people of the Void Fleet with their hideous and terrifying appearances.

The ships of the swarm are diverse, some resemble slugs, some resemble whales, and some resemble octopuses, similar in appearance to sea creatures, but many times larger in size.

They use bioplasma thrusters that emit a green glow to propel towards the location of the Imperial fleet.

The quiet communication channel was instantly filled with cacophony as the ships shouted slogans and dispatch orders, and the propulsion engines spewed light that lit up the entire void. The battle erupted after the two sides came into contact, and a dense mass of beams and missiles with flying paths flew towards the dense group of biological ships.

The number of enemies is unusually large, and the tactical panels of all ships are obscured by the maddening number.

Within hours, the void was filled with shattered carapace fragments and massive pieces of flesh, frozen bodily fluids condensing into ice between the corpses of the bioship.

However, the number of enemies is incalculable, and destroying one biological warship will bring twenty to its place, leaving the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet in a bitter battle.

In between battles, the swarm also unleashed a group of small ships to devour corpses on the battlefield, using huge digestive sacs to convert them into nutrients that could be used to repair the massive creatures.

Even some of the broken Imperial ships were dismantled by them, absorbing the metal and marble into the armor shells of the biological ships, and even more jaw-droppingly, even the broken energy stacks were reactivated by them to become their own bio-powered energy piles.

The swarm's bio-ships also have their own special bio-force fields, which, when activated, have an effect similar to the Imperial Energy Shield, which is covered in a thick carapace made of rock and frost, which protects the vulnerable parts of the building.

In addition to their weapon systems are torpedo spikes and living missiles, as well as wattle fangs carrying a large number of metal-eating creatures, these creature ships also have giant tentacles that burst out when they get close to the Empire's ships, and their sharp spikes and inverted blades will envelop the Empire's ships.

Elsa saw a cruiser captured, struggling violently in a flesh-and-blood trap, the shield generator on the surface shattered, and the tail engine burst into bright light, but it was never able to escape the enemy's grasp.

Eventually, it was overwhelmed by more tentacles and snapped in two.

Whether it's ranged or melee, the swarm has enough restraint, and with the sheer numbers, it's hard to imagine any enemy that can withstand their onslaught.

The Imperial fleet did its best, and every captain was ready to fight for his life, but in the face of countless fleets of swarm creatures, they continued to rout.

Even if the Holy Judge continued to unleash attacks that were enough to destroy the stars, it only delayed the rout, and could not achieve any overwhelming advantage.

The swarm crushes the empire with its sheer numbers, even if it is all it takes, but the number of swarms is too large, and the imperial expeditionary fleet is losing the initiative in this battle.

However, the enemy continues to recover the destroyed biological ships on the battlefield, digest them or repair them, and the defeat of the Empire is a certainty.

As the Void battlefield fell into decline, the ground-based forces that stood firm caught the attention of the swarm.

The will of the swarm does not care about attrition, the unique population mode allows the swarm to continuously recover the resources on the battlefield, don't watch many insects and beasts being killed, and feel that the swarm has suffered heavy casualties.

In fact, those killed insects and beasts will be dragged back to the digester, turned into nutrients again, and fed to the newly born swarm warriors, after a battle, the loss of the swarm is actually not large.

If you can win this battle and absorb all the biomass of human beings, this battle will not only be lost, but also a small profit. Therefore, instead of using orbital bombardment, biological extinction and other means, the insect swarm will also carry out ground landing warfare, just to completely annihilate the human race, and then absorb the biomass and genetic information of the human defenders.

On the surface of MLT02, boulders mined from canyons and mountains have been piled up to form a fortress complex, and countless giant machines are buried deep in it, and the shield is activated at the first flash of light in the sky. A thick violet glow covered the entire fortress complex like an inverted bowl, sheltering the children of the empire who were waiting for them.

The massive shield generator of a mountain shook the rock floor and spread out in all directions, allowing everyone to feel the power of technology.

The expeditionary fleet fell to the downwind, and the swarm fleet managed to break through and drop a large number of airdrop pods on the planet MLT02.

They were huge, dragging their flicking tail tentacles and slamming them into the ground like meteorites.

The defense system on the ground was activated as soon as the alarm sounded.

With the cooperation of many top military talents, the temporary fortress on the surface of MLT02 has been turned into an impregnable meat grinder.

Artillery shells, lasers, missiles, torpedoes and other weapons are fired into the sky, and the sound of vibration is incessant.

Most of the creature pods were destroyed in the air, and fell to the ground as scattered pieces of flesh.

However, such a fierce fire still could not stop the parachute of the insect swarm, and some creature pods fell to the ground, and quickly took root on the ground, as the cyst covered with the carapace of the creature opened, the body size was two meters long, and the forelimbs were like two huge scythes of the knife insects continued to pour out, pounced on the huge fortress group, and soon formed a wave of black pressure, making a clicking sound.

"For the sake of the God-Emperor." The head of the Obsidian Mecha Corps, Stya, roared angrily, her voice coming from the mech's speakers, and the other mech knights responded to her with the same roar.

Hundreds of mechs are assembled at the key entrances of the various fortress groups, ready to defend against the swarms.

The number of insect swarms is huge, some are like knife insects, one or two meters long, small and flexible, the forelimbs are extremely sharp and the size is very exaggerated, and some are tens of meters high, and when they move, the whole earth is trembling.

The Mechknights prop up their massive armor shields and activate their back thrusters to become the first line of battle against the swarm.

Energy shields can only defend against ranged attacks, or melee attacks that are too fast, and are basically useless if the enemy uses ground attacks.

Behind the plane side was the city wall, and the guns on it were constantly roaring, bombarding the swarm of insects on the ground, and each explosion shook the ground, and the tower-like flames rose into the sky, and the earth was burning.

However, no amount of mad fury could stop the black swarm.

There are countless of them, and they are black and oppressive, like a huge flood that bursts the embankment, and even if ten thousand are killed by the Imperial side, one hundred thousand will crawl out of those pods.

"Repel them." Stia roared, and the missiles behind the mech flew out with a whizz, landing on the swarm that pounced on them, emptying a large area, but after a while, it was refilled.

Stya activated his melee weapon, a Titan spear covered in a dazzling arc of electricity, a fifteen-meter-tall insect beast was pierced by a single shot, and a high-temperature beam of light was sprayed from the shoulder of the other giant mech's arm, destroying the insect beast's head.

++Melee kills +1++

The prompt came to mind, and the mechanical spirit let out a cheer, but Stya was calm, not overwhelmed by the thrill of killing.

Her mind flashed through all sorts of data, thermal images, electrical signals, dynamic corrections, or command's orders and the movements of her subordinates, and she fused with the mechanical spirit, using its eyes and senses to feel the battlefield firsthand.

Hunting one insect beast was nothing, and then the second one came, fierce and fierce, straight at the mecha controlled by Stya, pierced by the giant spear she swung again, and then picked up the insect beast like an ancient knight, and threw it into the crowd.

The self-aiming hot-melt cannon on his arm shone with a scorching light, and in that direction it was a single shot, killing several behemoths at the same time.

The number of kill prompts is constantly increasing, and insects and beasts are constantly being hunted, but the number of enemies is endless, and no matter how many are killed, they never decrease, and the Empire is constantly being consumed.

Knights have always been a symbol of nobility and power, but they are also synonymous with duty and mission, and they stand on the first line of defense against the swarms, blocking the swarms from the walls and providing enough depth for the troops in the rear.

Stya watched as one companion after another's communication channels turned gray.

"For my emperor." A firm male voice sounded, "The will of the human race will conquer the universe and the gods." ”

Then came a dazzling light, like a brilliant new sun, flooding the nearby insect swarm, instantly emptying a large area.

In this desperate war, another knight blew up his mech, proving his loyalty to the God-Emperor with his own life, and the oath he had made to fight to the death against the enemies of the human race.

There was no time to grieve, and there was no time to remember, the comrades of the Obsidian Mecha Regiment could do nothing but a flash of sadness, and they had to hold on until they fell, and the enemy trampled on their bones and wreckage.

An alarm sounded, and Stia subconsciously fired a missile from his back, hitting a worm beast that pounced on him, shattering half of the opponent's body, however, another titan creature giant beast collided with him.

The titan creature behemoth was more than thirty meters tall, with four legs supporting a huge body, and its back was covered with heavy armor.

Under the brutal impact, the armor shield placed at the front was pierced by the opponent's giant scythe, and even Stia's mecha was damaged, and a terrible hole was cut in the abdomen, and the oil flowed out, and there were bursts of electric sparks.

A hurried alarm echoed in Styya's mind, and the mech's spear pierced the beast, pinning it to the ground, but before Stya could retreat, another beast pounced, and Stya's mech fell to the ground with a thud, and the systems let out a painful wail.

Stia's mind stopped thinking for a moment, and then countless images flashed, she was the person from Regulus, the old man of the first expeditionary force of the Empire.

She lived in a time of darkness and despair, when the war between the two camps was almost crazy, and they did not hesitate to summon the evil creatures on the other side to devour their own people, but also to win the battle and gain the dominance of Regulus.

The battle was evil, they were only to satisfy a group of self-righteous fools, there was no salvation, there was no hope, everyone thought it would be the last madness of humanity to fall into the abyss.

However, the battle ended in a way that no one could have imagined, and the God-Emperor rose up, like the sun piercing the night, bringing light, bringing hope, and his hoarse cry would surely lead them out of this terrible hell.

He unified Regulus, defeated the invading Sith Empire, and launched the Galactic Expedition. Stia remembered the poverty of the empire when it had just been founded, the empire was so poor that even the warships were patched together, the weapons and equipment of a regiment were all different models, and the Regulus was a wasteland and wreckage.

But now, she had heard that Regulus had become extraordinarily prosperous, and in the future, it would become the center of the Milky Way, with magnificent and beautiful buildings that covered the entire world, and oceans and verdant mountains again.

Stia had dreamed that one day, when the Galactic Expedition was over, she would return to Regulus and see what she had fought for, and at that time, she would proudly tell everyone that she had worked hard to follow the Emperor and create what she is today.

But now, Stya knew she didn't have a chance, and a quick flickering message told her that the mech had been crushed and that the monsters were trying to shred it.

"For the sake of the Divine Emperor, for the sake of mankind." Stya shouted like the dead knights, and then activated the self-detonation program.

Dazzling light burst out from the location of the energy pile, piercing through the mech, like a rapidly expanding bubble, enveloping the nearby insects and beasts.

Stya saw the endless light, and the dead companions appeared in the light and smiled at her, and she smiled too, because her duty had been done.
