If Hu Yu were here, he would definitely recognize this fleet. It was the same civilized fleet that had hunted down Mr. Daozi and destroyed thousands of Hunter-Killer more than a hundred years ago.
Since the stop here was only brief, and the Deep Blue had already gone far away, Hu Yu did not deploy a large number of reconnaissance satellites. With 2 million Stealth Killer, there was only one biological ship that needed protection, so the defense force was more than enough. Therefore, Hu Yu was completely unaware of the arrival of the alien fleet.
Academician Xiao's research has been preliminarily completed, and the biological warriors have been tested. The remaining task is to destroy all the insects on this planet. The biological warriors killed more than 5 billion insects, but the insect swarm still has more than 5 billion insects. The number of insects has been reduced by half, but the combat power has only been reduced by less than 20%. The remaining insects are all of the tenth to fifteenth tiers, and there is also a sixteenth tier Insect King.
200,000 Stealth Killer broke away from the fleet and flew towards the Zerg swarm, launching a fierce attack. Wave after wave of antimatter bombs were dropped onto the surface, and the violent annihilation reaction turned the planet into a star. In an instant, the Zerg were blasted to pieces, with their corpses flying everywhere and their fluids flowing freely.
The energy from the annihilation of antimatter and matter exploded at a single point. The insects hit had almost no chance of survival, and the violent energy spurred the surrounding swarm of insects to tumble for tens of kilometers before finally coming to a stop.
After the first wave of attacks, tens of millions of Tier 11 and Tier 13 insects died, while Tier 14 and Tier 15 insects survived the explosion thanks to their powerful bio-armor and energy manipulation. Many were only injured and not completely killed. With hundreds of kilograms of antimatter dropped, the insect swarm's combat power was reduced by less than one percent. At this rate, the only way to kill them would be to drop all of the remaining 500 tons of antimatter from the fleet onto this planet.
The swarm was enraged. They had discovered the fleet's presence, especially the 300-meter-long Insect King, which had a thousand legs. Its two pairs of forelegs were exceptionally thick, curving together like bull horns. Its body was covered in alternating yellow and black stripes, and its enormous head was filled with fangs. Its tail branched into four limbs, each with sharp, eagle-like claws. A single blow from this thing would be fatal or severely wounded. At this moment, it began to organize the swarm to launch a counterattack against the Stealth Killer fleet.
Only then did Hu Yu understand why the combined might of all the civilizations in the galaxy had failed to completely wipe out the swarm. This wasn't just a swarm of insects; it was practically billions of biological warships. 200,000 Stealth Killer were instantly overwhelmed by the swarm. With one against two thousand, the Stealth Killer ' antimatter bombs were simply insufficient.
The commander of the battle at this time was Lieutenant General Li Zhixiong, also known as "Little Zhuge." He was short and stocky, less than 1.7 meters tall and weighing less than 110 pounds. He had dark skin, shifty eyes, and a shrewd, cunning look. If he took off his uniform and wore ordinary clothes, he would look exactly like a market vendor.
Although he was not particularly handsome, he was a capable and competent general. In the Earth era, Li Zhixiong was just an unknown squad leader. He saved countless civilians from the cracks in the siege of cities by the Zerg swarms on many occasions. He repelled the Zerg attacks many times with various tricks. Although some of his schemes were shocking, he always won in the end. He grew up and called himself the Little Zhuge" of the army.
At this moment, Li Zhixiong is commanding the fleet aboard the Deep Blue, 40 light-years away from the battlefield. With the four-dimensional channel and holographic command system, the crew and commanders do not need to be physically present on the battlefield. It is not surprising that the warships may be fighting here while the operators are on the other side of the universe.
This battle was the first true clash between human warships and the Insect Race, a clash between high-level Zerg and advanced warships. The warships, with their superior maneuverability, weaved through the Zerg swarm. Li Zhixiong divided the entire airspace and 200,000 Stealth Killer into 360 sections. Such a detailed division was not something everyone could control, but Li Zhixiong could. Li Zhixiong Li Zhixiong more than 100,000 orders, which impressed the other lieutenant generals. Li Zhixiong, who was usually somewhat carefree and jovial, became a completely different person once the battle began, commanding thousands of troops and strategizing as if everything was under his control.
"Sector 37, warships 28, 69, and 526, what are you doing? Immediately rescue warship 138."
"Sector 149, warships No. 56, 58, 234, and 483, coordinate with warships No. 73 and 74 to immediately use gravity bombs to eliminate them, otherwise you will be surrounded and annihilated in five minutes."
"Sector 358, Warship 456, do you think antimatter is free? You've used 0.3 kilograms of antimatter in just five minutes. At this rate, you'll be out of commission in 20 minutes. You've only killed 40 bugs. What kind of training did the instructors give you?"
"Sector 7, warships 25 and 89, well done. Remember, use the reflector beam frequently. Our warships are more maneuverable than the swarm. The reflector beam takes a little longer, but it's cheaper. You'll be rewarded after the battle."
"Sector 243, I also commend you. You have the highest casualty ratio. In another hour, you'll have wiped out all your warships. Are you a bunch of idiots? Sectors 242 and 244, end the battle as soon as possible and support Sector 243."
Commands, laced with curses, were relayed to every operator aboard the Deep Blue. In this situation, strategy was useless; everything depended on the commander's improvisation.
The swarm and the Stealth Killer fleet were mixed together, and the characteristics of biological and technological warships were fully displayed on the battlefield. Although the swarm was huge in number and had strong attack power, the Stealth Killer dared to rampage through it. If the swarm had been replaced by technological warships from other civilizations, the Stealth Killer' rampage would have at least resulted in mutual destruction.
The swarm of insects was equally formidable. Besides their sharp claws that could attack the warship's weak points, some Tier 14 and 15 insects could also spray spheres over two meters in diameter from their mouths. Some of these spheres exploded upon impact with the Stealth Killer, and if the energy of the explosion hit the Stealth Killer's weak tail area, it could completely destroy the Stealth Killer. Others did not explode, but rather stuck to the Stealth Killer's surface like clumps of glue. Once this glue was stuck on, all kinds of sensors became ineffective, engines immediately stopped working, and antimatter and gravity bombs detonated directly inside the warship when the launch channels were stuck on, blowing themselves into pieces.
Compared to the explosive energy balls, these paste balls are more troublesome. On the surface, they don't cause any damage to the warship, but in reality, just one or two paste balls are enough to destroy a Stealth Killer. Fortunately, neither the energy balls nor the paste balls can match the speed of the Stealth Killer's conventional power engine.
Nevertheless, the Stealth Killer still suffered significant losses, with over 50 million Tier 14 and 15 insects. Each insect, judging by its size, could launch at least ten projectiles, resulting in over 500 million projectiles on the battlefield.
A worm seized a warship and began to frantically tear at it. The warship's operator immediately stopped the ship's movement. The worm then used its dozens of legs to crawl to the stern of the warship, preparing to sabotage it by attacking the engines. Just as the worm raised its claws to strike the engines, the warship's operator restarted the engines. The extremely high temperature instantly burned the worm's claws and half of its head to ashes. The lifeless worm detached from the warship, leaving only its dozens of legs struggling in the air.
