Abaddon feels very uncomfortable now. The spores on his body have withered a lot. He is very depressed. It seems that he has never won the war.
He originally thought he could hold on to the galaxy for a month or two to see the situation, but as a result, the invading enemy fleet became larger and larger.
In just half a month, there are almost 60,000 Stellaris Council warships in the entire galaxy. This is a terrifying number. This is a military force that no Hatchery can currently resist.
Not only did they blow up the Dyson membrane and destroy the Hatchery space buildings in the entire galaxy, they also continued orbital bombing of the planet.
If Abaddon had not built many defensive spore towers out of caution, he would have been unable to hold on long ago.
For the time being, he can still control the ground, but on the space battlefield outside the planet, the Swarm fleet can only control one-third of the planet's airspace.
The time left for Abaddon is getting less and less. Cerebrate's calculation results indicate that he cannot defend his own planet, so he must find a way to break out.
This planet, half of its surface area covered by Creep, is slowly rotating. The arrival of golden sunlight dispels the darkness and spreads light to the earth.
Facing this light, a fleet of one thousand Antill is advancing steadily in planetary synchronous orbit.
A large number of acid projectiles trailing blue-green tails are breaking through the atmosphere and bombarding them, forming a death zone. The Antill fleet is throwing various torpedoes downwards while rushing into the atmosphere.
Many battleships were unable to evade and were destroyed by the huge acid liquid. Some even used shields to withstand it but were still crumbling. Their posture was unstable and they were torn into two pieces when they entered the atmosphere.
More than a hundred warships were lost outside the atmosphere. After entering the planet, the blue sky just came into view. A few gray lines rose from the ground. If you look closely, you will see that they are Swarm air combat troops composed of self-exploding mosquitoes, Mutalisk, and flying insects.
Some of the larger and more powerful warships in the Antill fleet left the formation and headed towards the Swarm air force. A large number of manned and unmanned fighter jets also flew out from inside the aircraft carrier-like warships.
The air battle between steel fighter planes and various bugs is very exciting, with dog fights and tail biting, and various destructive weapons appearing frequently, dyeing the blue sky battlefield with the color of blood and flames.
A manned fighter jet formed a combat team with three unmanned fighter jets. They cut into the sides of a large number of flying insects at a speed of Mach 2, and dozens of missiles accurately penetrated the flying insects Swarm.
The flying insects immediately began to scatter and evade, and the missile controlled by the combat computer soon exploded at the most suitable location, and instantly a large amount of high-temperature flames ignited the sky.
Many flying insects were burned to death and fell from the sky like grasshoppers. Some stubborn ones still rushed out with flames all over their body.
Before the pilot had time to be happy, several self-exploding mosquitoes flying at higher speeds collided with them. In one breath, all four aircraft except one drone were destroyed.
As such consuming and strangulating air battles continued, the remaining Antill fleet began to accelerate its landing. Their mission was to land and build a ground base as soon as possible before the friendly forces were overwhelmed by the endless sea of insects.
Of course, some battleships have different missions, such as the battleships Kunzhao and Yanblade ride on.
Wearing a full set of equipment, they are four meters tall and have powerful exoskeleton powered armor, which allows the two of them to exert superhuman fighting power. Of course, what kind of weapon goes with what kind of warrior.
An injured person who has not been strengthened and modified will only injure himself if he wears such armor. Soft flesh is much more fragile than machinery.
There were more than two people in the cabin. There were fifty super soldiers like them, organized into two squads. A battleship that could break into the atmosphere only carried fifty people. It seemed a little small, but in fact, this was already the load limit of a battleship of this size.
Because the fifty soldiers are accompanied by their supporting weapons, including two spider tanks that can pass through complex terrain, four personnel carriers, and a self-propelled cannon that can be used for attacking fortresses when placed flat, and can be used for air defense when raised.
The infantry equipment is even more complex, and is also fully equipped with mortars, flamethrowers, heavy bolters, high-explosive mines, various plasma weapons, and melee weapons.
This is why a battleship that normally can carry 500 people can now only carry 50 people.
"Everyone please review the mission briefing. If you have any questions, speak up now." Captain Yan Ren said in the communication channel.
After seeing that everyone was fully prepared, Yan Ren's eyes fell on Kun Mao, the vice-captain.
Kunmao looked at him seriously and closed his helmet, "With my body, I can break the enemy's sharp blade."
Kunmao said something in the communication channel, the traditional words Antilians said when he went on an expedition.
"With my body, I can defeat the enemy with a sharp blade." Everyone in the channel repeated this sentence.
The streamlined battleship quickly flew to the target location. The weapons on the battleship bombarded a large number of Swarm units, buildings, and Creep on the ground before slowly landing and unloading the fifty super soldiers and their equipment.
After sorting out their equipment, the fifty super soldiers boarded their vehicles and headed for the target location.
The mission briefing is very simple. Overcome all difficulties and place the guidance beacon at the core of the Swarm air defense spore tower to prepare for targeted elimination.
In addition to the guidance beacon, there are also small fusion weapons on the transport vehicle. When necessary, they are also required to enter and blast the spore tower.
The seven vehicles did not travel safely for a long time before a large number of Swarm units appeared on the ground and came to kill them. Various types of bugs, large and small, with output ranging from near to far, and they were all coming in a steady stream.
Two spider tanks became the core of the breakthrough. There are wheels under the six legs of the spider tank, which allows the tank to cross complex terrain and advance at high speed on flat ground.
The main weapon of the tank is a quadruple high-frequency electromagnetic gun, which is located on the head of the spider. There is also a cab that can accommodate a super soldier.
The small Swarm cannot withstand the firing of the electromagnetic gun. Not only does this gun fire fast, but its power also causes range damage. The disadvantage is that it consumes too much energy. It must be cooled down for half a minute after ten minutes of shooting.
This combat mission lasts for three hours. The tank's power is sufficient. If it cannot be completed within three hours, no matter how much power it has, it will be useless.
The transport vehicle also had on-board machine guns, and the super soldiers also opened the windows and fired outside. Countless bugs that came up were killed by such a dense firepower net.
Some bugs with long-range attack capabilities are blown away by the main gun on the back of the Spider Tank. This main gun can fire high-explosive shells and armor-piercing shells. This is also newly developed equipment, with a long range and high power.
Soon, a Ultralisk with four fangs appeared in front of the convoy. Ordinary projectiles could not penetrate its carapace at all, and the electromagnetic gun only added a few more black spots on its body.
It rushed over fiercely, threatening to scatter the convoy and overturn it.
