Chapter 850: Head-grabbing
Chapter 850: Head-grabbing
Chen Yanqing couldn't escape.
During the previous observation operation, his ship came too close to the orbit of Ankachi VIII.
The look Broken Bones gave him was not just his imagination, but a real look.
His ships were indeed exposed.
As a result, under the frenzied siege of several subsequent Orc vanguard ships, his ship ultimately failed to reach the jump point and was eventually destroyed by the large Orc ships that caught up with it, and he himself was killed.
If he was still in his prime, perhaps the situation would not be so bad. Of course, he did not have the great power of Gu Hang, but as an A-level psychic with a relic-level psychic crown, he had a chance to get rid of the small vanguard ships that were entangled with him before the large green ships arrived.
In that case, the final result may not necessarily be avoided, but at least the chances are greatly increased.
However, in order to get close for observation, not only was the ship too close, but too much of his spiritual energy was consumed in breaking through the blockade and obtaining observation images.
The terrifying waaagh force field and the subspace shadows brought by the swarm of insects were fiercely intertwined, entangled and fighting with each other. In the fight between them, it was not easy to "insert" psychic observation, even if it was just to obtain some fragmentary images.
During the entire observation phase, Chen Yanqing's vomiting of blood and bursting eyeballs were manifestations of backlash.
Even the holy relic-level psychic crown was damaged and cracked.
By the final stage of his escape, he was actually almost at the end of his rope, and had no way of fighting for a better chance of escape.
Gu Hang still felt it was a pity.
He still admired Chen Yanqing, the great wizard from Holy Terra.
On the one hand, Gu Hang regarded him as a representative who came from the Imperial Psionic Order and grew up in the Alliance Storm Mage Corps. He was a banner of the fusion of the two psychic forces under his command, which had strong symbolic significance.
On the other hand, he also has greater potential and has the opportunity to grow into an S-level psychic in the future.
Pity……
In fact, if Gu Hang wanted to save him at all costs, it was not impossible.
Chen Yanqing has a psychic crown.
In addition to being a powerful psychic spellcasting relic, the greatest value of this thing lies in the psychic connection between the crown and Gu Hang himself. Not only can it smoothly break through various blockades, psychic information is transmitted between the holder of the psychic crown and Gu Hang, but it can also support Gu Hang to briefly descend next to the crown in the form of a weakened version of his incarnation.
Even though the Psychic Crown was close to being damaged, it was not completely broken after all. Gu Hang's avatar could not stay like a complete crown for a month or two, but at least it could hold out for an hour or two.
Anyway, this psychic crown is about to collapse, so it won't be a loss to make use of it and save a promising psychic master.
But in the end, Gu Hang did not choose to do so.
It is very dangerous. If you get entangled with it for too long, you may be caught by the bone-crushers that come by boat.
If the incarnation was destroyed, it would cause great harm to Gu Hang.
It would be fine if it was a normal situation, but at this critical moment, Gu Hang's own strength was the ballast stone for the victory of the human army. If he was accidentally injured before the decisive battle, it might represent the trend of the entire war.
Another point is that Gu Hang also has his own things to do.
He wants to catch the queen of worms.
Based on the observation clips that Chen Yanqing had sent back earlier, although the cause and effect were not particularly clear, some of it could be guessed.
The Zerg's fight for life is not blind. The Queen of Zerg used some unknown means to lure the Bone Crusher out from the deepest front of the Greenskins. At the critical moment, the war fortress driven by the Bone Crusher rushed into the Zerg's defense line and killed everyone.
But it also symbolizes his isolation.
Even if there are still a large number of greenskin units inside the war fortress, the defense strength is definitely different from being inside the defense line.
This was a trap set by the Zerg, and they could even be considered successful. The scene then changed to show the three-headed Zerg Overlord and several executioner tyrants, who, under the cover of the neuron worms, broke into the mobile war fortress and launched a decapitation operation against the Bone Crusher King.
The power invested by the Zerg was extremely powerful, and the plan was extremely successful.
However, whether the success of the strategy can lead to ultimate victory is another matter.
This green-skinned king is almost the most famous in the entire universe, and the fighting strength he displays is too exaggerated.
The Zerg ambush had already taken shape, with the cover of long-range bio-cannon bombardment, and with three Zerg Overlords, seven or eight Executioner Tyrants at close range, and two Neuron Zergs constantly teleporting more Zerg beasts up to surround Crusher, isolating him from the support of other green-skinned troops, and they managed to break through the Zerg ambush!
During this process, the Bone Crusher King should have been injured, as can be seen from the observation footage.
However, for the Greenskin King, this level of injury is not important. His strong and sturdy physique and the Greenskin racial talent can allow him to recover quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
What was even more terrifying was that a hearty battle ended with his victory, and his strength increased rapidly under the reinforcement of the Waagh force field.
Even Gu Hang couldn't help but complain, how could this be an ambush? Wasn't it just the Zerg giving experience to Bonebreaker to help him grow?
On the other hand, this wave of the Zerg seems to have suffered serious damage.
Top-level units like Zerg Overlords and Neurons can't stand too much loss. The Zerg can produce endless cannon fodder, but replenishing these top-level units takes a long time, and may require some special, strong enough biomass.
With so many losses at once, the Zerg swarm is about to collapse.
Even with the Queen's support, the death of these top units would not cause the Zerg to lose a large number of nodes at once, leading to the collapse of the Zerg. However, it at least made the Queen realize one thing: she had failed.
Even this couldn't kill Shattered Bones, and she had no stronger means to kill the beast.
And due to the excessive loss of top-level units, the Zerg will be at a huge disadvantage in the next frontal battlefield and will be on the verge of collapse.
There are human troops outside, tightening the pocket and encircling them.
It's completely over.
Seeing no hope of victory, the Queen of Insects decided to run away.
But, want to run?
It's not that easy!
Even if she was brave enough to give up most of the troops that could not be rescued in the first place and let them be sacrificed, it would not be easy for her to escape.
Using conventional navigation, her core biological fleet was fleeing into the endless dark universe. But following closely behind was the fleet of the Bone Crusher King, chasing them relentlessly and entangled them so that she could neither run away nor run fast.
In particular, the racial talents of the Orcs came into play again. They used the remnants of the top Zerg units and a large amount of ground Zerg nest debris, dismantled them and pieced them together on their own junk ships. The new spaceships formed were particularly effective in tracking and attacking Zerg biological fleets.
If the greenskins continue to chase like this, they will sooner or later catch up with the Queen and kill her.
How could Gu Hang let this happen?
The queen insect is delicious and very nutritious.
What's more, if Broken Bones destroys the Queen of Insects, he will become even more powerful.
Gu Hang was already having a hard time dealing with this level of broken bones. If it got any stronger, it would be very troublesome.
It is particularly important to get the Queen's head before the greenskins.
Just as Chen Yanqing had expected, the Queen of Glory battleship tore through the veil of the subspace not long after, and landed in the Ankachi VIII system with a huge human fleet.
The fully powered navigation engines guided the huge human fleet, temporarily bypassing the planet itself and chasing after the Zerg fleet that was escaping from the greenskin fleet in the depths of the universe.
