Chapter 513 The Corrupter

Anderson, feeling disgusted, quietly asked the Hive to continue to retreat and keep a distance from the battlefield.

As the two sides continued to get closer, the exchange of fire officially entered a white-hot stage.

In the direction of the Lehman fleet's advance, the Zerg fleet deliberately increased the depth and thickness of the array.

In addition to the continuous impact of the cannon fodder troops, most of the remaining pioneer ships have tacitly slowed down their speed.

Using conventional rays to concentrate fire, the super fortress was covered with uninterrupted fire.

More pioneer ships also kept approaching from other nearby directions to fill the loose fleet array.

High-energy rays and light spears were densely intertwined on the front of the battlefield.

The Zerg fleet suffered huge losses every moment, and could only slightly delay the advancement of the super fortress.

However, the fleet that detoured from the side easily completed the encirclement without paying any price.

Looking at the overall situation, it can be clearly seen that the pocket array is shrinking.

Even though the elite warships under Lehman's command have very good performance, they still have the defects of conventional warships.

The firing range of the warship's main gun is limited. If you want to adjust the main gun's firing angle significantly, you must make the entire warship turn appropriately.

This is simply impossible when maintaining the fleet array and advancing in a single direction.

If the brain worms had not deliberately limited the intensity of their firepower with the goal of capturing more enemy ships.

I am afraid that the continuous high-intensity coverage attack would have caused huge damage to the small and medium-sized warships surrounded by the Lehman fleet.

Even so, the rapid deterioration of the battle situation still exceeded Lehman's expectations.

The Zerg fleet, which had completely flanked, attacked the advancing Lehman fleet.

The small and medium-sized warships in the encirclement had already been in a melee with the Zerg's pioneer ships at this time.

The ray towers all over the hull of the pioneer ship had no blind spots in the close-range fight.

No matter how good the mobility of these elite warships was, how strong their control technology was, and how thick their defense shields were, they had no way to dodge the efficient and coordinated concentrated fire attack.

As more and more small and medium-sized warships were firmly involved.

The entire Lehman fleet array soon became visible to the naked eye.

From a distance, it looked like a cabbage that was peeled off layer by layer, exposing the inner core of the cabbage completely.

Following closely behind the [Glorious] super fortress, the heavy battleship fleet that was advancing at high speed went to the rear of the encirclement and cover.

The ship-borne close-in defense guns continued to spew flames, weaving a dense fire net.

Trying to intercept the swarming pioneer ships to avoid confusion in the formation.

However, although the pioneer ship was not equipped with a defense shield, it even lacked hull armor.

As long as the engine of a ship filled with fungal blankets is not damaged, the power system can still operate.

Even if the main frame is twisted and damaged, it can still be prevented from disintegrating under the strong adhesion of the fungal blanket.

If the control room of the battleship is completely destroyed, the single-eyed worms in the neighboring battleships can instantly take over the control of the ship.

Even the command team far behind can temporarily take over these uncontrolled pioneer ships through the detection mesh in the battlefield.

In fact, the pioneer ships of the cannon fodder troops are remotely controlled insect-free ships.

If it weren't for the limited energy of the brainworm farmers, they would not be able to take care of the fine control of all the battleships alone in the ever-changing battlefield.

In order to save insect capital, they have already changed all their pioneer ships to pure insect-free control mode.

One after another, the fearless pioneer ships, bearing the bombardment, broke through the interception fire net, and quickly approached the battleship formation.

The fearless and fearless momentum made the other shipboard crew members feel cold.

The death squad is not scary, but the death squad that cannot be stopped is scary!

Seeing that the pioneer ship, which has been sieved and completely deformed, still did not slow down or change direction, and continued to rush forward crazily.

"Boom..., boom...."

The pioneer ships that jumped over the fire net came into close contact with the heavy battleships one after another.

Under the high-speed collision, the tough fungal blanket could no longer maintain the damaged hull, and the fragmented wreckage flew away immediately.

However, before the collision, countless ship-borne Zerg combat units had already scattered like a swarm of bees that had exploded.

The first wave of assault pioneer ships used as cannon fodder did not carry a diverse combat swarm of Zerg.

The only Zerg unit on board was the "Pyroblast Dragonfly" after multiple upgrades.

Or, it can no longer be called "Pyroblast Dragonfly" now.

Compared with the initial version, the latest improved "Pyroblast Dragonfly" has changed greatly in appearance.

It is more appropriate to say that they are new combat units redesigned based on the "Pyroblast Dragonfly" gene template.

In order to adapt to the void combat environment without weight and air resistance, the "Pyroblast Dragonfly" cancelled the original three pairs of wings.

Relying entirely on the innate energy of void creatures, it moves like a swimming fish.

And the new combat function positioning has replaced their body surface with heavy chitin armor to strengthen defense.

It can be regarded as completely getting rid of the original fate of being broken at the touch.

The thick and long tail behind the buttocks used to maintain balance has also been replaced by tentacle-like limbs.

The various functions contained inside all enhance their speed and flexibility.

The head has claw-like limbs and sharp mouthparts, which help them to forcibly tear open the shield of the warship or cling to the surface of the ship.

The biggest change is the size.

For example, these guys can be more than 15 meters long, and the lava core in their bodies has reached a diameter of three meters to match the body.

The power of the energy stored inside after the explosion is geometrically increased compared to the original.

Not only that, the damage effect of their self-detonation is no longer a simple high-temperature killing, but a highly corrosive energy shock.

It is completely different from the original Flame Dragonfly, and it is a biological version of a heavy missile.

Now, it may be more appropriate to call it [Corruptor]. (With pictures)

Corruptor

The first wave of cannon fodder fleet's desperate advance is to launch these Corruptors at close range.
