Kerry calmly watched the blue spheres rise like raindrops, and instead felt relieved. Resistance was good. Only with resistance could they discern the Zerg's troop deployment, and from that deployment, infer their battle plan. "Raise the energy shields and force a landing!"
In fact, Kerry did not need to give the order. Blue energy shields had already enveloped over thirty disc-shaped landing craft. Though the blue spheres flying upward from below were tremendously powerful, their speed was merely average, so the landing craft pilots were not worried—until a blue sphere that should have passed one landing craft suddenly changed direction and slammed viciously into it!
Boom! The explosive shockwave instantly destroyed the landing craft's energy shield. The shield emitters at its four corners burst apart from overload, and the shockwave continued into the hull. The foot-thick armor was torn apart like paper. The Alien Dust soldiers near the impact point suffered terribly as the blasted armor plates twisted inward and pierced into the ship. More than a dozen Alien Dust soldiers were impaled through the chest by the curled metal plates and died on the spot!
A powerful rush of air surged in through the breach, throwing the pressure inside the landing craft out of balance and causing the entire hull to shake violently. Fortunately, the disc-shaped landing craft was large enough; otherwise, that single shot would have been enough to wipe out everyone aboard.
"Disengage immediately! Disengage now! Move, move, move!" The landing craft captain roared and rapidly slammed his right fist onto the red button beside him!
The entire circular vessel split apart from its center. Cracks appeared every thirty degrees, with the hull sections on either side staggered above and below one another. The circular warship had become two layers! The twelve separated thirty-degree fan-shaped hull sections
