2793. New line of defense
"But you only mentioned one of them. That...Unseen Queen." Protoss bioengineer Shure-Dahl said.
"There is another person who we have never met. When I embraced the insect swarm, he was already here. He controlled the insect swarm and transformed the insect swarm. Because of his existence, the insect swarm continued to grow and develop. Because of his existence, the insect swarm will surely devour the entire galaxy!" Wilk replied with a smile, "He is King of the Swarm."
"King of the Swarm? Who is this guy? Where does he come from?" Sefrans-Tann asked.
"I don't know his message, but I can feel his powerful power and vast spirit every moment." Wilk said, "If you want to know any message about him, you might as well go and see for yourself."
"So, let's talk about your other companion. Romi-Ploo, is there anything special about the so-called Unseen Queen?" Sefrans-Tann asked.
"When you meet her, you will naturally understand." Wilk said lightly.
"So, where is her lair? Are you going to go deeper along the Lago Planet channel?" Sefrans-Tann asked again.
"Yes. The premise is... you must be able to find her." Wilk answered without hesitation.
"If you don't plan to answer, we naturally have many ways to make you speak." Schur-Dahl said.
"What are you planning to do? Torture me?" Wilk said with ridicule, "If you place your hopes on your poor biotechnology, that would be ridiculous."
Sefrans-Tann raised his eyes and looked at Selendis beside him. The Protoss executive said coldly, "This man no longer has any emotion or pain. There is no need to waste time anymore. Let us see the intelligence on him ourselves."
Shure-Dahl bowed to Selendis and said, "Then, I will start his anatomy."
After saying that, he closed the communication.
Sefrans-Tann also connected to the communication in the direction of Fefze and Holy Advent Cult Cardinal Adra at this moment, asking, "What are the movements of the insect swarm on the front line of Fefze?"
[They stopped reinforcements.] Adra said, [Bishop Ronnis has sensed that Psionic Link among the insect swarms has disappeared. The current insect swarms only move on planets, and the threat is extremely reduced. However, the firepower of my fleet is still not enough to purify Fefze's insect swarms.]
"Let's hold on to the defense line of Jobar first." Sefrans-Tann nodded, then turned to Selendis and said, "According to the Psionic Link that Archon Ronnis sensed before, the Lago Planet we are currently in is the Qidian of the Largo hyperspace channel. And Lago Planet is the portal to the unknown world."
"You want to say that after passing Lago Planet, there will be a new world - the world of Kilik Swarm." Selendis said.
"That's it." Sefrans-Tann said, "So what we have to do now is to build Lago Planet into a fortress to completely block Kilik Swarm's way of invading the galaxy. Then, after completely clearing out the insect swarms outside, we can launch an attack in this direction."
"Fortress? Do you plan to build a star gate?" Selendis asked.
"The star gate must not be built here. The current Chiss territory must not add any more star gates." Sefrans-Tann said, "This line of defense can only be built hand by hand by our engineering team."
"I agree." Selendis nodded.
In the next few days, Sefrans-Tann began to command the fleet to completely eliminate the insect swarms around Lago Planet.
Because there are still a large number of insect swarms coming here from other planets at this moment. Although Psionic Link has been cut off, these insect swarms still follow the last instruction they received before and come to Lago Planet to surround their nests.
For a time, Lago Planet was besieged by a swarm of insects.
Tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of insect swarms attacked Lago Planet frantically, and Sefrans-Tann had to redeploy their fleets around the planet to shrink and defend.
This battle was very dangerous, because before, in order to attack Lago Planet over a long distance, their fleet had been seriously exhausted, and then they had a fierce battle with the insect swarm of Guardian Wilk.
Moreover, after Darth-Lilim and Seras entered the Colony, Wilk also directed the insect swarms hidden under the planet to launch a counterattack. The insect swarms hidden under the organic matter that almost covered the entire planet also numbered in the tens of millions, far from the millions scanned before.
However, under the sharp command of Sefrans-Tann, they still broke through Wilk's defense line, and finally were able to penetrate three Protoss Carrier into the planet's atmosphere when Wheel of Fortune went crazy, reinforcing the beheading operation of Wilk.
In fact, the operation was already on the verge of failure at that time. Wheel of Fortune went crazy, Das-Lilim was seriously injured, and Seras was no match for Wheel of Fortune. Once the reinforcements arrived too late, the consequences would be disastrous!
However, this has also led to the current unsatisfactory state of their united team Expedition Fleet, and they are once again struggling in the face of the continuous impact of Kilik Swarm.
Sefrans-Tann also discovered in actual combat that despite the fact that Protoss is usually awesome and boasts loudly, their aircraft carriers are actually not very suitable for fighting against such a large-scale insect swarm.
Those Interceptor drone are indeed extremely powerful in combat, but they can only kill one insect at a time. Facing tens of millions of super insect swarms, how long will it take to kill them one by one?
If the aircraft carrier uses the Purification Beam designed for Orbital Bombardment to clear out the insect swarms, it will indeed have a good effect, but it will become a cannon to fight mosquitoes, and the energy consumption will be astonishing. After all, it is a weapon used for Orbital Bombardment, so the bigger the power, the better. Now that they have just experienced a war, the use of energy must be very economical.
Therefore, after destroying the infected Imperial fleet with crushing force, the combat effectiveness of Protoss Carrier plummeted.
In contrast, as the battle time continued to lengthen, Tyran Heavy Industries's newly built Royal Behemoth-class Heavy Cruiser became the protagonist.
This Heavy Cruiser, led by energetic expert Zhang Jiarui, has greatly improved the iconic Yamato Cannon, reducing the power of Yamato Cannon, reducing the range, and adjusting the performance of the electromagnetic field that binds the plasma cluster.
As a result, the charging time of Royal Behemoth-class's Yamato Cannon becomes very short, and the energy of two shots can be stored in advance. At the same time, the plasma group emitted each time will spread greatly under the action of the electromagnetic field, and the diffusion range of a single shot can even reach dozens of kilometers!
In actual combat, the Royal Behemoth-class is simply a powerful weapon for the insect swarm. As long as these warships open fire, the insect swarm as dense as a dark cloud will be blown up into large areas of blank space within a short time. It is precisely because of the support of these warships that other warships, including Protoss Carrier, have enough time to recharge and adjust their formations, and gradually stabilize the battle line.
Zhang Jiarui After Darth-Lilim left, he finally found his tough guy demeanor. Anyway, fighting against the insect swarm did not require too sophisticated tactics. He simply kicked away the firepower officer of the battleship he was on and took charge of it himself, commanding the battleship to fire.
He laughed loudly and took a video while preparing to send it to Rory-Swann, mocking that Kinetic Maniac fiercely.
The Lago Planet defense battle lasted for four full days, and the insect swarms stopped their crazy attack. According to Holy Advent Cult Archon Ronnis's perception, after this battle, the Psionics sensors on many surrounding Draon Planets were much weaker, indicating that the number of insect swarms in those places had begun to decrease.
At this time, Sefrans-Tann began to order Orbital Bombardment to Lago Planet.
And in order to save energy, Protoss Carrier did not participate in the actions of Orbital Bombardment. Instead, other warships launched nuclear bombs for bombing.
Huge mushroom clouds continued to explode on the surface of the planet, and the fleshy membranes all over the planet were exploded into literal pieces of flesh and blood. The entire planet's atmosphere was filled with a terrifying stench and filled with insect spores. The atmosphere was visibly turned into a disgusting color mixed with lavender and light green.
At the same time, the Governor Shien-Morabito also sent a robot transport fleet to deliver supplies to the fleet. And according to Sefrans-Tann's request, the transport fleet also sent two sets of production lines for the production of nuclear bombs, which were produced on site and dumped immediately after they were built.
There is no way, before the spaceport actually starts to be built, their fleet must maintain sufficient combat effectiveness to prevent Kilik Swarm from breaking out from the other side of Lago Hyperspace Lane.
No one knows what is on the other side of Lago Hyperspace Lane. Even the induction of Archon Ronnis cannot detect the fluctuations of Psionics in that area, as if it is shielded by some kind of force.
There may be a void, or it may be a larger Hive Nexus, no one can be sure. But what is certain is that Kilik Swarm will not retreat easily, Unseen Queen, and another completely unknown King of the Swarm are still hidden in the fog.
In that direction, that may be the real challenge.
The battle report that occurred at Lago Planet has been sent to High Command of Dawn Star Planet, and they are requesting more reinforcements from the rear, especially the royal Behemoth-class, hoping to send more.
Selendis also admitted the fact that Protoss's aircraft carrier was not suitable for fighting against large swarms of insects, but she also told Sefrans-Tann that Protoss also had weapons that could cope with such a battle situation. As long as Twilight Council agreed, those weapons would be sent over.
"Why do you have to get Twilight Council's consent for everything, big or small?" Sefrans-Tann complained, "As big as sending a fleet, as small as sending a few Templar, do you have to hold a meeting to discuss it?"
"That's because Protoss is essentially unwilling to be involved in the war. If he must intervene in the war, the scale of the war must be strictly limited. At this time, Twilight Council must play the role of an opponent." Selendis explained, "And we must convince the opposition parliament so that the issue of sending troops can be passed."
Sefrans-Tann nodded and did not discuss this issue further.
After all, she has also seen the terrifying technology of Protoss. Their aircraft carriers are just not suitable for the battlefield here, but they are not not powerful enough. In the early days of the Lago Planet campaign, she could vividly remember how Protoss Carrier destroyed the infected warships of the Empire.
So in that case, the weapons Selendis mentioned that are specially designed to fight against such high-density small units are certainly worth looking forward to.
Things seem to have come to an end, maybe the next step is to repeat Orbital Bombardment, purify the insect swarm, and establish a defense line.
Sefrans-Tann suddenly opened her eyes, and her weak the Force suddenly felt an extremely dangerous feeling!
She jumped up from the bed suddenly, raised her hand and grabbed her yellow Lightsaber, which she had almost never used, in her hand. She turned her head and looked at the time. It was now Galactic Standard Time three forty-seven in the morning.
Generally, fleets on expeditions will arrange sleep according to a unified time standard. If there are no other requirements, then this standard is Galactic Standard Time.
Sefrans-Tann only felt ridiculous because she was still on Selendis's flagship Destiny Judgment. Where did the danger come from?
The bedroom she lived in was specially arranged for her by Selendis, according to human standards. She walked out of the bedroom and found Selendis standing in the control center, with a holographic projection in front of her eyes.
"Shul-Dahl?" Sefrans-Tann discovered that the other party was Protoss's bioengineer, "Did there be any major discoveries in the anatomy of that Wilk?"
"Indeed." Seeing Sefrans-Tann approaching, Shure-Dar said calmly, "I conducted a thorough dissection of Wilk and found that his brain has been strengthened by the insect swarm. The current Wilk is actually no longer the same person as he used to be, but an aggregate of Hive Mind."
Sefrans-Tann Still feels like something is wrong, but I can't explain why.
Selendis on the side asked, "So, through your dissection, can we find the information about Unseen Queen-Romi-Ploo? Or, the information about Lord of the Swarm."
"The information on Lord of the Swarm is still unknown, but I have discovered the key information on the invisible Queen. She is in the middle of Grogor Planet and Lago Hyperspace Lane." Shure-Dahl said, "Come to my laboratory and I will show you my results."
Selendis fell silent, and after a long time, she slowly said, "Open fire and sink Shur-Dahl's ship."
Severance-Tann was shocked, "What are you talking about? You actually want to sink..."
She suddenly thought of something and turned her head to look in the direction of the holographic projection. Sure enough, the aura of Protoss bioengineer Shul-Dahl looked slightly different from a few days ago.
Kilik Swarm, since they can infect Jedi Knight, then they naturally have the ability to infect Protoss!
"Even without Khala's link, I can still clearly sense the changes in Shure-Dahl." Selendis's mood fluctuated violently, and then he repeated again, "Fire!"
