The swarm's frenzy

The sudden appearance of a rain of fire in the sky attracted everyone's attention.

The orbital monitoring and many defense platforms outside the jungle world Luna and the ice world Gheasmag had already been destroyed by the Tyranid creature fleet in the battle, and Navy Fleet was even driven out of the Planet orbit. The Imperium troops on the ground had no idea what was happening in space.

However, in fact, the Kraken swarm is counterattacking the Iax fleet in space.

The intact tentacle tried to sweep away the part interrupted by Heart of the Forge.

For this reason, the remaining tentacles of Kraken Hive tried to use their size advantage to knock Heart of the Forge away. However, Bio-Pulse could not match the speed of Men of Iron's pulse signal.

Through data analysis, Iax easily analyzed the attack trajectory of this giant target. After controlling Heart of the Forge to the extreme to avoid the limb of this extremely powerful giant creature, the second round of precise strikes successfully doubled the profit.

Both tentacles were completely broken off by Annihilation Cannon, which was several light minutes long at the end.

However, Great Devourer was completely angered, and for the first time, he controlled the insect swarm and acted in a way that was not in line with his style.

The two tentacles extended further, and then began to stagger toward Heart of the Forge at the edge of Star System.

While waving, countless Tyranid creature ships were thrown out from the tentacles.

Facing the massive Psychic Power organs growing in wider biological structures, the strength of the Psychic Shield is also increasing to a geometric degree. Even the Doomsday Weapon carried by the Heart of the Forge must be struck multiple times to cause effective damage.

Combat pressure in space began to surge.

At the same time, on the surface of Planet.

Tyranid creature jumped into Digestion Pool crazily, Bio-ship approached low-Earth orbit in groups, and each Bio-ship began to stare at the nearest Capillary Tower, sucking biomass fiercely.

Bio-ship, which originally lost weight due to the creation of ground insect swarms, has grown in size visibly to the naked eye.

These Bio-ship are undergoing rapid transformation.

Ultra-high-density giant Monomolecular Bone Blade began to grow from the heads of these space Behemoth.

Thick bone plates wrap around the head and vital organs.

Bio-engine gradually evolves physically.

The appearance has changed somewhat like the swordfish on Ancient Terra, but of course the premise is that the array of biological weapons on its body is enough to make a cryptophobic patient comatose.

The brand new Tyranid creature began to accelerate in space, and then rushed towards the rampaging Heavy Assault Cruiser.

Men of Iron's Mechanicus Ship ship is much more powerful than Imperial Ships.

But in the face of so many Bio-ship, it is inevitable that damage will begin.

Although the Lance Weapon on the bow of the Assault Cruiser can smash these weird Bio-ships less than two kilometers in size head-on.

But space war is ultimately a three-dimensional war.

When more than a dozen Bio-ships rushed towards these Assault Cruisers, which were nearly 20 kilometers away, from all directions, carrying the huge Monomolecular Bone Blades, the situation became worse.

The thick shield is relatively fragile against the giant 'Torpedo' whose speed is far less than that of the cannonballs but whose quality is already quite astonishing.

In order to cope with the nano-repair of Men of Iron, Great Devourer also evolved a kind of Acid Blood with extremely terrifying corrosion ability for these Bio-ship.

Although Assault Cruiser is equipped with multiple Railgun arrays, these short-range, high-burst, high-rate orbital weapons can project a large amount of live ammunition in an instant and smash everything close to it into pieces.

But the Tyranid creature ship is a battleship after all. The thick bone plates and astonishing number allow them to still get close to these hedgehog-like Men of Iron Ship.

Imperial Fleet took a lot of time to recover from the battle between Heart of the Forge and Kraken's tentacles, and reorganized his formation to try to assist Men of Iron Mechanicus Fleet in the battle.

However, the Men of Iron scene horrified these Imperium soldiers.

There were three or four Tyranid creature ships that had never been seen before on many Heavy Assault Cruiser ships. Huge bone spurs poked into the silver-white hull.

Dark green blood continuously spurted out from the connection point between Bio-ship and the hull.

The holes in the hull were gradually enlarged.

However, Men of Iron soon found a way to deal with it.

The Strike Cruiser in the rear began to carry out Plasma attacks on these Mechanicus Ship ships that were poked by four or five Bio-ship.

The blue beams hit those connection points accurately.

The scorching heat turned the outer armor red.

And the acidic blood begins to ignite.

These terrible corrosions were gradually suppressed.

Even though the hull was glowing red, the large corroded holes revealed the internal structure.

But these Mechanicus Ship ships still did not stop fighting.

That kind of scene makes Navy Soldiers a little creepy.

It was as if the remains of the dead were fighting.

Waves of blue light brought out by Railgun continued to splash out.

A large number of Tyranid creature ships were blown up in space.

As a ray of light flashed, the cruelty of the war continued to increase rapidly.

The huge Bio-ship group thrown out by Tyranids's tentacles launched a surprise attack on Iax's rear fleet.

Several huge Narvhal suddenly appeared below Strike Cruiser's fleet with a group of Siren Kraken-class (Kraken) warships.

These Bio-ship boats with long tubular mouths that look like fish bones spit out biological acid similar to Acid Blood at the Mechanicus Ship group above.

These slowly flowing liquids have no intention of triggering the Long-range Strike Cruiser shield.

Although the Mechanicus Ship ship responded very quickly.

After recognizing the enemy appearing under the hull, the Plasma Cannon array at the bottom opened fire immediately.

However, after an alarming amount of acid was spilled, several Cruisers were still contaminated by acid.

These acids directly touched the Plasma weapon array that emitted astonishingly high temperatures.

As the lines were damaged, stunning explosions occurred on the weapons array beneath the hull.

The violent explosion turned large pieces of outer armor into fragments and then sprayed them out in all directions, clearing some Kraken Kraken battleships.

But they have the same problem as Heavy Assault Ship.

There are too many enemies.

The entire Mechanicus Fleet only has more than a hundred ships.

The Bio-ship group thrown out by the two tentacles exceeded a thousand ships.

Coupled with the raids of those small Frigate, Iax had to further increase the computing power to operate each ship in a more refined manner.

What's more important is the battle on Heart of the Forge's side.

Many new wounds have been added to the two tentacles.

A huge amount of blood and minced meat were sprayed almost all over the outside of Star System.

There are also several huge gaps in the hull of Heart of the Forge.

The thick shield has been shattered, and bits of silver light continue to shine on the hull.

Even if the nano-repair system is operating at full capacity.

However, the Heart of the Forge that separated most of the Nanomachines to decompose the previous Kraken Hive meat pieces cannot now complete the quick repair that it once did.

As for the structural damage on the hull, it is actually far more serious than what appears from the outside.

One of the two Annihilation Cannon doors at the bow of the ship was damaged.

The restraint device on one side of Supermassive Mass Projector is severely deformed.

The hole on one of the tentacles of Kraken Hive is big enough to pass through a Phalanx. It was the hole that Heart of the Forge used to shoot out a severely damaged Heavy Assault Cruiser as a cannonball just now.

The hull was corroded to only one-third, and was almost broken. Heavy Assault Cruiser The front half was quickly decomposed into metal material by Heart of the Forge to repair its own damage. The rear half of the hull and Energy Core were forced into an overload state.

Then Super-Mass Driver threw it out as a cannonball.

The terrifying mass brought by the solid hull and high-strength metal coupled with the terrifying kinetic energy almost penetrated the tentacles with a diameter of ten light minutes.

The wreckage of the ship's hull, which was already torn apart by the impact, was as if a Frag Grenade had been stuffed into the broken skin wound.

With the horrific explosion in the hull and the superposition of previous damage, this tentacle was almost on the verge of breaking.
