2384, Bloody Battle of Fondor (six)
Thinking of the huge nest, the adjutant couldn't help but tremble all over.
It's indeed as Sefrans-Tann said, it's disgusting, but it's more... fear.
Because when you see that terrifying lair and those terrifying mutated creatures, you won't associate these things with anything related to "civilization." All you can think of are terms like devouring, destroying, and doomsday.
And this is indeed what Alexia is doing.
On the holographic combat terrain map, it can be seen that the scope of Alexia's lair is rapidly expanding. Those terrifying tentacles continued to spread along the underground. Every time they conquered a factory or a residential area, they would devour all the creatures inside, even the energy sources. All of them would be devoured.
It's amazing that these tentacles don't even let go of robots. Judging from the mutated semi-mechanical monsters, it seems that because the number of living creatures on Fondor Planet is too small, some mechanical parts are used as skeletons to save some biological materials.
The number of monsters appearing near the lair has increased to nearly 150,000 in just half a day! Moreover, these monsters continue to expand outwards and have captured dozens of surrounding factories.
"General Tann... We should..." The adjutant didn't know what to say at this time.
"Cooperate with her." Sefrans-Tann said coldly, "Send out our armored troops to open a gap for Alexia's biological weapons army."
"Actually, some frontline Commander have complained quite a bit. They feel that fighting side by side with such a monster is a bit..." The adjutant considered his words.
"Colonel Yi Hai, if you encounter Commander like this, you should know how to deal with it. Do you still need me to teach you?" Sefrans-Tann said in a cold tone, "Stop this kind of thinking immediately. It must not spread in the army."
"Yes!" The adjutant quickly stood at attention and saluted.
Fondor Planet ground, Alexia-Ashford's nest can no longer be stopped.
There are hundreds of thousands of mutant monsters, some flying in the air and some running on the ground. They attack every target around them without fear of death.
Sefrans-Tann quickly made strategic adjustments. She began to deploy her troops near the nest, using armored units such as Scorpion tank and M-90 Wolverine anti-aircraft vehicle to provide long-range fire support to Alexia's mutant army.
Although these mutant creatures are powerful, they do have a very fatal weakness-that is, the lack of long-range firepower. No matter how resistant these biological weapons are, they can't be killed by one blaster beam, and they can't be killed by ten rounds, so what about a hundred rounds? What about a thousand rounds? How about a few more large-caliber high-explosive bombs?
Alexia does seem to be thinking of ways to solve these problems, including mutating and hatching some creatures that can spray venom remotely, and hatching a large number of flying creatures. At the same time, the tentacles that were spreading underground also began to transport mutant creatures through the opened underground passages, and launched a surprise attack on the back of the Fondor Planet defenders.
However, these methods are not as useful as an armored division sent by Sefrans-Tann!
So now on the ground battlefield of Fondor Planet, the defenders of the Galactic Empire saw such a horrifying scene - the invisible Reaper in the sky, Banshee Fighter was bombing indiscriminately, and the plasma grenades launched by Siege Tank in the distance continued to fall. Scorpion tank is approaching quickly, and the 90mm caliber electric thermal cannon fires a large number of armor-piercing shells at an extremely fast rate of fire, penetrating bunkers, destroying firepower points, and crushing all resistance positions.
And behind these is a vast sea of mutated creatures!! The number could not be calculated at all, and as far as the eye could see, there were only countless hideous and terrifying monsters.
Even though the defenders of Fondor Planet stabilized their position with the help of a large number of K-X security robots and a large number of automatic turrets and blocked the attack of the Kingdom of Dawn armored troops, the tide of mutant creatures did not give them any chance at all!
When tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of mutated creatures rush forward, no matter what the defense line is, it will collapse instantly!
And such despair and fear are starting to spread from the center of the nest to the surrounding areas.
After continuously expanding and occupying more Energy Center, the huge nest began to squirm violently. Then, the top of the nest cracked, and an extremely bloated mutant monster that looked like a meat ball flew out, with a diameter of dozens of meters!
After receiving the notification from Alexia-Ashford, a Behemoth-class battlecruiser immediately flew over and cooperated with dozens of Wraith fighter to protect the monster. Then Behemoth-class battlecruiser stretched out its mechanical arm for loading and unloading cargo, grabbed the monster, and flew towards the other side of the planet.
After flying to an energy power station thousands of kilometers away from its mother nest, the monster lay directly on the energy power station and began to absorb energy. Soon, the monster began to proliferate, and its size began to grow larger. Then, hatching openings began to grow on its body, and mutated creatures began to hatch out of it.
Alexia's lair started to split apart!
As these small nests continue to increase, the mutant creatures she hatches will grow exponentially! It is really only a matter of time before the entire Fondor Planet is completely devoured!
In such a scene, if Tang Xiao was at the scene, I am afraid he would also sigh: Sure enough, the end point of all biological weapons is the insect swarm!
But it is true that the structure of T-Veronica Virus and its ultimate form are really similar to Zerg.
Compared with other viruses that pay more attention to individual mutation and strengthening, T-Veronica Virus has the strongest social nature because it contains the genes of Queen Ant and also contains some plant genes. The complete Veronica Virus has established an extremely powerful population with Queen as the core.
Isn't this Zerg?
It can only be said that mankind has worked hard to develop biological weapons in the direction of biological weapons, and the final destination reached is just Qidian of Zerg.
In fact, if the Veronica group of Alexia-Ashford only appeared alone in Fondor Planet, I am afraid they would be completely destroyed within a few days. Tang Xiao actually knew the form of Veronica Virus from the original setting, but the reason why he still indulged in Alexia's research is because - Veronica Virus is weaker and more controllable than Zerg, whether it is the current Zerg Zerg or Kilik Swarm.
Sometimes, being weak can be an advantage. Not only in terms of controllability, but also because of its weakness, it can be used by humans. Alexia-Ashford produces various by-products through T-Veronica Virus's research, including body enhancement, various incredible transplant surgeries and amputated limb regeneration, as well as various targeted drugs with obvious effects. They were all developed because of T-Veronica Virus's weakness.
Compared to Zerg, which is extremely powerful but has no use for the development of human civilization other than being released to bite people everywhere, Veronica Virus is undoubtedly more useful.
Just like T-Virus, which is currently featured on Sherry-Birkin, it is now used less and less in military applications and more and more used in people's livelihood. This is also a very positive example. When technology develops to a certain level, disasters like Raccoon City are absolutely impossible to happen and cannot pose any threat.
Sherry-Birkin is now also studying some newer and more powerful viruses. It is said that she is currently making further improvements to T-Virus from the perspective of some deep-sea creatures, and has also applied to retrieve some extremely confidential technology files from the mothership database. However, no results have been reported yet - only two projects have been secretly approved, 'Abyss' and 'Sleep God'.
However, although the Veronica group of Alexia is now weak, their number is extremely large. With the full cooperation of Sefrans-Tann, there are Orbital Bombardment with battleships in the sky, and Wraith fighter Banshee Fighter's fixed-point strikes, Scorpion tank's armored assault, and Siege Tank's remote support. These forces allow the characteristics of the Veronica clan to be fully brought into play.
What is the biggest difficulty in fighting across galaxies? ——The projection of force.
Because if you want to completely occupy a planet through ground combat, instead of getting a glass ball that is completely burned by Orbital Bombardment, you need to invest a very huge ground force. And the food, drink, ammunition consumption, and medicine supplies for such a huge army are all astronomical. A million-strong army sets off for battle, followed by tens of thousands of transport ships!
Generally speaking, Galactic Republic's approach is to use limited Orbital Bombardment to cooperate with elite ground troops to directly land near the planet's capital, and then directly capture Planetary Administrative Center and replace it with an obedient regime. This is also the most labor-saving way.
Or just like Confederacy of Independent Systems, just drop a huge robot army. The disadvantages are that it is rigid and costly, and it also requires a large number of spaceships to transport the robots. The advantage is that the requirements for supplies are very low. Considering that Confederacy of Independent Systems is usually the losing side in fleet battles, its low supply requirements have become the main factor.
Alexia is now building its own mother nest on Fondor Planet, which is to directly omit the step of projecting troops and use local materials to create a large and cheap army.
Once this is solved, there will be no disadvantages in capturing Fondor Planet.
Almost 10 days after Alexia's nest was established, time has come to 12BBY, Galactic Empire calendar the Empire 7 years, Kingdom of Dawn calendar 2 3 years (as a reminder, the Star Wars calendar has 35 days in a month and 10 months in a year, and Kingdom of Dawn also uses this calendar, but the chronological method is different from the Galactic Empire).
At this time, Alexia-Ashford's nests have appeared in large numbers on Fondor Planet. With the support of Kingdom of Dawn's aerial strikes, millions of mutant creatures are sweeping every inch of the planet like a tide.
Fondor Planet's battle situation has begun to collapse visibly to the naked eye.
In contrast, Death Squadron led by Das-Vader is still fighting back and forth with the defenders of the Givin in the underground cave of Yago-Dur planet. This time Sefrans-Tann's home-changing strategy has seen the dawn of success.
Although Fondor Planet has been completely blocked by Kingdom of Dawn fleet, some news still reaches Imperial Center. Almost none of the news received by Imperial military's top executives was good news.
From these fragmentary intelligence, Imperial military only came up with a few key points: Kingdom of Dawn used biological weapons on a large scale, Fondor Planet's organized resistance has been disintegrated, and now they are basically fighting on their own in industrial divisions. Also, the industrial production capacity on Fondor Planet is still very huge, and a steady stream of robots are being produced, but there is a shortage of raw materials.
But even from this information, we can easily draw the conclusion that Fondor Planet is having a hard time persisting.
This important industrial world must not be lost. This is a very firm order from Emperor Palpatine on Imperial Senate. Everyone can imagine that once Fondor Planet is lost, it will inevitably trigger a bloody storm in the military and political circles of the Galactic Empire!
However, at this time, both Palpatine and Imperial military still agree with Das-Vader's strategy of continuing to besiege the planet Yago-Dur. The reason is actually the same as Sefrans-Tann's judgment - once we withdraw from the Yago-Dur planet and fight another fleet battle, the result will be nothing.
Sefrans-Tann don't want to return to the confrontation, and Galactic Empire doesn't want to either.
Therefore, on the one hand, Imperial military continued to prepare to reinforce Fondor Planet, and on the other hand, he also urged Das-Vader to achieve the goal as soon as possible and capture the planet Yago-Dur.
After discussion, the task of reinforcing Fondor Planet fell on the current Governor Galactic Empire Fourth Army, Wilhuff-Tarkin. In fact, the one closest to the 20th Army to which Fondor Planet belongs should be 2nd Legion. However, Second Army failed miserably under the leadership of Jedi Master Mace-Windu at the end of Clone Wars. It suffered heavy losses and lost trust, and its political status plummeted. Therefore, this important task was deferred to the Fourth Army.
Wilhuff-Tarkin currently does not have many warships in hand. A large number of warships have been transferred to Darth-Vader. He does not want to touch this hot potato at all, but Palpatine's order has been issued, and he has to find a way.
So, he found Blackhole.
Blackhole is Dark Advisor of Palpatine, the behind-the-scenes controller of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, and the true leader of Imperial Inquisitorius. Wilhuff-Tarkin Although he has never been interested in things like the Force, now he can only ask for help from Blackhole, hoping to get help.
"Reinforcement Fondor Planet? Hahahaha... Governor Tarkin, you really shouldn't take this mission." In front of Wilhuff-Tarkin, there was a humanoid shadow, and nothing inside could be seen.
"Fondor Planet's strategic position is extremely important. By entrusting this task to me, His Majesty the Emperor is also entrusting me with a heavy responsibility. I should not shirk it." Wilhuff-Tarkin said this, but the anxious expression was already written on his face, and he did not seem to intend to hide it.
"Hehehe... However, what is happening to Fondor Planet now does concern me. Yes, I will help you, Governor Tarkin..." Blackhole said, "Remember, you owe me a favor."
