"Units 2 to 8 are following me. Team Cosmic Knight will assist from the side. Units 9 to 12 will stay behind to protect the replacement module!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, eight Greedy Mechs and twelve Cosmic Knights rushed towards the three Combat Bugs that were flying in from the gap in the energy barrier, while the remaining four Greed Wolf Mechss came to form a small guard formation around the replacement module that was moving towards the designated coordinates.

"No. 7 and No. 8, I have marked the targets. You stick to target 2 and target 3 respectively. No. 2 to 6 follow me and use the encirclement and killing formation to annihilate target 1 first. Team Cosmic Knight is wandering around the periphery. If there is an opportunity, take action directly!"

"Yes!"

After everyone heard the squad leader's order, they immediately responded in unison and immediately began to act according to the tactics.

Within the barrier, two mechas were seen accelerating instantly, and relying on their powerful maneuverability, they immediately bypassed the Combat Bug at the front, leaving it to the hunting team behind them.

After bypassing the first Combat Bug, the other two immediately came into their sight. Without any hesitation, they raised the Ion Beam Rifle in their hands to be slightly standard, and then shot at the two Combat Bug.

At such a close range, with Combat Bug's huge body, it is impossible to avoid it.

Even so, after all, the power of the weapons used by the mecha is relatively small, and it is only close to the power of the close-defense weapons of a battleship. No matter how accurate the shooting is, it only makes some cracks on the shells of the two Combat Bug.

However, this was enough. The two Combat Bug were in pain, their eyes suddenly turned red, they turned around and rushed towards the mecha that attacked them.

On the other side, Combat Bug, who was the first to rush into the barrier, had also met the hunting team.

The entire team has a clear division of labor. Some are deliberately approaching to provoke and attract attention, some are flying around Combat Bug and attacking, and some are looking for opportunities to attack vital points on the periphery, etc.

It can be clearly seen that these mechas and Cosmic Knight must have gone through a long period of training, and their cooperation with each other is extremely tacit.

Of course, this war insect was not able to persist for long, and soon lost its life under the constant attacks of the hunting team.

After taking care of this one, the hunting team immediately pounced on the other one that was stuck to No. 7.

Using the same method, all three Combat Bug that rushed into the gap were hunted down in just over 30 seconds.

"Isn't the module in place yet?"

The captain looked out through the gap in front of him, and saw a large number of Combat Bug rushing towards the gap in front of him, at least thousands of them.

If they were to rush in, it would not be something that a team like him could solve.

"3 seconds left...210"

"Module E3129 is in place. The one-way energy barrier has started to activate. The activation is completed and the gap is closed!"

"Huh, it's really a bit dangerous!"

Listening to the communication from the bridge command team in his ears, and seeing the gap in front of him being covered by the light blue energy barrier again, the captain couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In the same situation, as time goes by, more and more modules run out of energy and need to be replaced. This happens constantly. At most, there are even more than 200 modules being replaced at the same time.

Every module replacement was a war, and the most dangerous one was that a large number of Combat Bug gathered at the gap itself. When the gap appeared, more than 200 bugs rushed into the barrier in an instant.

Finally, after mobilizing three squadrons and paying the price of three mechas and five Cosmic Knight, the gap was closed again.

Gradually, as they broke through the escort fleet, more and more Combat Bug came to Gonggong.

Looking from the outside, Gonggong can no longer be seen at all. Outside the energy barrier of the entire battleship, there are already piles of bugs.

And this makes it more and more difficult to replace the energy barrier module!

When any gap appears, at least one to two hundred bugs will take advantage of those tens of seconds to rush in. The days when we only had to deal with a few Combat Bug like in the beginning are gone forever.

However, fortunately, Gonggong carried enough mechas and Cosmic Knight, otherwise it would really be impossible to cope with the situation of fires everywhere.

Unconsciously, three days have passed since the war started.

The baits Lin Fan and Bilodis's Third Legion First Fleet on the first line of defense are still standing still. On the contrary, the Zerg have lost more than 1 trillion, which can be said to be more than half of the casualties.

If the fleets of other civilizations had suffered such casualties, they would have been defeated long ago, but the Zerg is different. The grassroots war bugs have basically no concept of fear and retreat. Even a Combat Bug dares to pounce on an entire fleet.

However, Socrates was not in a good mood at the moment. Every time he felt that there was a breakthrough and he could solve this huge threat to the warship, his hope was quickly extinguished. For him, the experience of these three days, it can be said that hope comes easily and goes easily.

Gonggong, which seemed to be crumbling under the Zerg attack, could always be blocked at the last moment, causing Socrates to fall short.

As Lin Fan said, you always feel that there is hope and you will succeed in the next moment, but every time you are just one breath away.

This is how Socrates feels. Every time after a breakthrough fails, he will think that this time he succeeded in just one breath, and he will definitely be able to do it next time!

So, I wandered between hope and disappointment for three whole days, and until now, I am still trying!

However, no matter how much he was tricked by Lin Fan, Socrates had some reaction at this time. Inadvertently, his losses had exceeded half, and most of the losses came from the tens of billions of warships on the second line of defense (15 billion Level 4 Civilization warships, and more than 30 billion Level 3 Civilization warships that arrived in three days)!

In other words, when I was racking my brains to conquer that huge battleship, I was beaten from the side for three days without fighting back? Isn't this a bit stupid?

Um? Did you forget something? That's right!

Socrates suddenly remembered something, and then checked it through the Zerg's mental network.

It remembered that it had arranged for the nearest 5 Hybrid Swarm to come over three days ago. It was already very close now, and it would reach the battlefield in one day!

After sensing the positions of the five Hybrid Swarms, Socrates showed a smile, although no one could tell from its huge and ugly insect face that it was a smile.

At the same time, A211 Defense Zone, the first line of defense, is inside the Gonggong bridge.

"Commander, 5 Super Swarms have been discovered 5AU away. They are coming towards our A211 Defense Zones. Contact is expected in a day!"

"Sure enough!"

Lin Fan nodded, it was exactly as he expected!
