Chapter 1300 Intense Battle
Yin Tong waved her hand dismissively and said:
"I am well aware of my physical condition. Let's deal with the invading Zerg first."
Although Yu Meng, who was standing to the side, did not agree with Yin Tong's approach, she understood the special circumstances, so she looked at Nalan Hangdao:
"Colonel, thank you for your hard work in monitoring Commander Yin's health in real time. I will assist you if necessary."
The implication was that she would force Commander Yin to rest.
Having received Grandmaster Yu Meng's promise, Nalan Hang relaxed and nodded.
Yin Tong, who was standing to the side, felt helpless after hearing the conversation between the two, but she still took the lead in stepping out of the treatment room and heading to the main command room.
During the period when Commander Yin Tong was resting, Chu Yuanzhen took over the main command. When a large number of black beetles poured out of the wormhole again, he began to issue combat orders to rebuild the defense line and not give the Zerg any chance to break through.
However, this time the situation was different from before. The swarm of black beetles was protecting a medium-sized black beetle and was about to break through the defense line. Moreover, this time the swarm was mainly for protection, protecting the medium-sized black beetle tightly, and was only focused on breaking through the defense line of the Third Army.
When Commander Yin Tong arrived at the command center, Chu Yuanzhen truthfully reported his findings to the commander and shared his speculations:
"Commander, based on the information given to us by Sage Yun, I suspect that this protected black beetle may be the queen beetle responsible for reproduction in the insect race, and it is highly likely that it is a queen beetle that has not yet grown up, so it has not entered the reproduction period."
However, once the mother insect draws enough power from our galaxy, it will quickly enter its reproductive phase, resulting in a continuous stream of new insectoids being born, becoming their vital force for conquering the federated system.
Yin Tong looked at the heavily protected black beetle on the main screen and said in a deep voice:
"Major General Chu, immediately dispatch the attack fleet to attack them. We cannot allow that queen insect to have a chance to break through the defenses."
"Yes, I have already ordered the Third Attack Fleet to attack the Mother Worm and we will not allow them to break through the defenses."
Orders from the main command center were relayed to the three lines of defense, and the battle in space escalated once again, with soldiers of the Third Army Group rushing into the battlefield.
Concealing her form, Yunxi released her divine sense to observe the entire battle. When she saw the mother insect that was being carefully protected, she felt a sense of unease, as if the insect race was being too deliberate.
However, the mother insect was indeed in its juvenile stage. It was clear that the insect race sent it to the Cloud Sea Galaxy through a wormhole so that the other party could quickly absorb its power and enter the mature stage, so that the mother insect could begin to reproduce.
Just as Yunxi was analyzing the Zerg's intentions, the Third Army launched two hydrogen-uranium bombs to deal with the large black beetles surrounding the mother Zerg and to completely eliminate the most dangerous mother Zerg.
The shockwaves from the two hydrogen-uranium bomb explosions pushed the Third Army's defensive line back three kilometers, creating a gap. The mobile warship group immediately filled this gap, but Yunxi frowned and said:
"not good!"
It turned out that the Zerg surrounding the large black beetle swarm that was attacked by the hydrogen uranium bomb were indeed blasted into dust, but the presence of these fleshy pads allowed the large black beetles surrounding the mother beetle to withstand the aftershocks of the attack.
Moreover, they were rapidly absorbing the power of the hydrogen-uranium bombs, risking their own exploding, and then transferring this explosive power to the queen insect surrounded in the center. The queen insect was growing rapidly at a visible rate, its size increasing dramatically in a very short time. Yin Tong was surprised by the way the Zerg were absorbing power, which also meant that they could no longer use hydrogen-uranium bombs, otherwise they would be indirectly providing power to the Zerg.
Chu Yuanzhen frowned as he looked at the mother insect on the screen, which was growing larger and larger.
"Commander, we can no longer use hydrogen-uranium bombs, otherwise the queen insect will grow even faster."
Yin Tong rubbed her temples and said:
"Dispatch the mech squadron for the main attack, with the attack fleet providing support. Let's take down that queen insect first."
"Yes!"
After Chu Yuanzhen accepted the order, he immediately issued it. Tens of thousands of mechs flew out from the warships of the three defensive lines of the Third Army. However, this time they were not equipped with beam cannons. Instead, the mechs were equipped with melee weapons. They abandoned long-range attacks and chose close combat.
Yunxi was relieved to see that Yin Tong had sent out a mecha team carrying large melee weapons. Clearly, they had seen through the Zerg's scheme. However, close combat required a high level of reaction speed from the mecha warriors, and a slight mistake could turn them into food for the Zerg.
However, based on the previous battles and the information she provided, it seems that the mech team can still cope. But as more and more Zerg emerge from the wormhole, Yunxi feels that they probably won't be able to hold out for long.
Just then, Yunxi sensed a spatial fluctuation, and then she saw a large fleet of warships appear behind the Third Army's defensive line, clearly having arrived at the battlefield directly through spatial jump.
Yunxi's divine sense swept over the newly appeared fleet of warships, and then she saw a black-haired man with golden eyes ordering the mecha force to go into battle to assist the Third Army Group in holding the line. Moreover, this mecha force was all beast-shaped, and the warriors who controlled these beast-shaped warships all had powerful beast genes in their bodies.
The addition of the beast-type mech squad briefly relieved the pressure on the Third Army Group, but because they were new to the battlefield and had not grasped the weaknesses of the Zerg, they suffered casualties in the first encounter. However, this time, after the mechs were destroyed by the Zerg, the mech warriors would immediately transform into beast form to buy themselves a chance to escape.
Yunxi felt that these warriors were somewhat like demon cultivators in the cultivation world. Because they were strong enough, they could walk in the starry sky and even confront the insectoid race head-on.
However, because they were separated from their mechs and lost a layer of protection, they became the main targets of the Zerg, who saw them as excellent food.
These warriors, transformed into beast forms, also knew how to cooperate, leveraging their beastly advantages to fight the Zerg without showing any fear.
Yunxi watched with great interest and secretly rescued the exhausted orc warriors, sending them back to their warship. The rescued soldiers of the Second Army were somewhat puzzled and quickly reported the situation to their superiors.
The black-haired, golden-eyed man was Black War, the commander of the Second Army Group. He was an orc whose true form was a black panther. His fighting style was fierce and ruthless, and no prey he set his sights on could escape.
After receiving the message from Yin Tong, Hei Zhan knew that this battle would be difficult. These interstellar Zerg were a tough nut to crack. So, after receiving orders from the military, he quickly assembled the Second Army Group and used space jumps to rush to support them.
He arrived just in time. Before understanding Yin Tong's strategy, he only dispatched mech units for support. At this moment, he was communicating with Yin Tong. The two were both old rivals and old partners. After a quick and effective communication, Hei Zhan grasped the current battle situation and said directly:
"Yin Tong, this is a great opportunity to train the army, but if we fail to hold the line, the entire Yunhai star system will become food for the Zerg."
