Chapter 636: Insect Swarm Overlord

"This is the Diana! The enemy is attacking our battleship! Requesting support! Requesting support!"

This Tempest-class frigate was being attacked by densely packed biological airdrop pods. Countless swarms of insects broke out of their shells the moment they landed inside the warship, and then rushed towards the human soldiers closest to them.

After the war with the Human Empire, the Zerg began to evolve slowly, and when faced with this relatively small warship, they already had enough power to crush it.

"Paralyzed control room..."

The node creatures controlled the swarm of Zerg troops and rushed towards the control room of the frigate. The endless swarm of Zerg devoured countless human soldiers like a wave.

"Quick! Build the wolf spider turret! Activate the lower deck cleaning device! Suppress these disgusting bugs!"

Under the loud shouts of the officers, the burly soldiers got busy.

They quickly set up the heavy Wolf Spider automatic cannon turret, adjusted the angle, and aimed the black muzzle at the gap in the battleship.

At the gap, countless fighting insects and springtails rushed in like a tide. The harsh sound of steel colliding was endless, and the sound of the sharp Zerg claws scratching across steel was creepy.

Some human soldiers couldn't help but cover their ears, trying to block out the terrifying sound.

"The enemy is coming! Open fire!" The officer gave an order, and red lasers and shining heavy bombs poured out instantly. Hundreds of Zerglings that had just appeared were instantly blown into balls of blood mist, emitting a pungent bloody smell.

"Suppress them! Bring up all the heavy firepower you can!" Sergeant Reid shouted loudly. He was commanding the battle on the front line. The various terrifying insects in front of him made his scalp tingle, but he was not afraid and stood firmly at the forefront.

However, such resistance was meaningless in front of the insect swarm, and countless insects attacked the position like raindrops.

Their defense system seemed vulnerable under the impact of the Zerg swarm. A large number of Zerg creatures continuously rushed into the battleship and engaged in fierce battles with the crew on board.

However, this had no effect in the face of the endless swarm of insects. Following screams, one area after another was lost.

In the battleship's command room, the captain anxiously shouted into the communicator: "Request support! We need more firepower to repel these insect swarms!"

However, the response he received was silence. Other warships were also besieged by the Zerg swarm and were unable to provide effective assistance.

"How many Marines are left to fight?"

The commander asked grimly, his voice full of tension and anxiety.

"The Marines... have been wiped out!" an officer answered with difficulty, "The guards on the battleship also suffered heavy casualties, only one in ten survived..."

This news hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer, and the entire control room fell into a dead silence. Everyone looked at each other with despair on their faces.

"Emperor...what should we do?" someone murmured to himself, his eyes full of fear and helplessness.

"There is only one way..."

An officer stood out from the crowd and said slowly, "It is impossible for us to win this battle now. All we can do is to kill the enemy to the greatest extent possible. This is the only thing we can do..."

"I understand. For the Emperor."

Everyone nodded, however, just as they were about to implement the plan, a more desperate situation was slowly approaching.

The alarm sounded again, and on the screen a huge figure was crawling along the cabin towards the command room.

"Damn it!" the commander cursed.

"Emperor...what kind of monster is this?" The captain looked at what was happening in front of him in horror. He could hardly believe his eyes.

The surveillance screen showed a huge and ferocious creature gradually approaching them.

The sharp blades on its body easily tore through the bodies of any soldiers who dared to approach it, as if they were just fragile papers.

The monster's huge body was like an indestructible wall of steel, blocking all attacks from the soldiers.

The laser weapon fired at its hard shell, leaving only a few insignificant white spots.

The explosive shells struck its body, but could only barely penetrate its bone-white skin.

The monster seemed to have no fear of human weapons, destroying everything with amazing speed and power.

"Damn monster! Kill it! Kill it!" Countless soldiers screamed in despair. They tried desperately to destroy this terrible enemy, but to no avail.

Every time this Zerg Overlord swung its sharp bone blade, a dozen mortal soldiers would be instantly blown into a bloody mist, and their lives would disappear in an instant.

Under the fierce attack of this terrifying Zerg Overlord, the last line of defense of the soldiers in the cabin was gradually disintegrating. Although they tried their best to resist, they seemed powerless in the face of such a powerful enemy.

Fear enveloped the entire cabin, and people began to realize that the battle might be doomed to fail.

However, they were still unwilling to give up and continued to fight the monster desperately, hoping to find a glimmer of hope.

"For the Emperor! The corridors of this warship will become the coffin of you, a monster!"

An officer, covered in blood, stumbled to the corner of the wall in a miserable state, supported himself on the wall, and stood up with difficulty. He looked at the Zerg Overlord who was slowly approaching in front of him with a firm look in his eyes.

"Try this, monster!"

The officer suddenly let out a roar and slammed a red button beside him.

In an instant, scorching flames gushed out from the top of the passage, like a blazing torrent, mercilessly rushing towards the Zerg Overlord.

At the cost of his own life, the officer successfully blocked the Zerg Overlord for one minute.

However, the tens of thousands of degrees of heat did not cause fatal damage to the Zerg Overlord. Although its carapace had been burned black, the flesh beneath the carapace was not seriously affected.

"boom!"

As the iron door of the command room was torn open, dozens of ferocious Zerglings rushed in first.

"For the Emperor! Fight them!"

The remaining officers rushed forward as they spoke, but they were quickly swallowed up by the endless swarm of insects.

"Attack the Diana. Don't let the Zerg get this battleship."

The warships around the Diana turned their guns and continued to fire at the fallen Diana.

The Empire would not allow its sacred warship to be infested by evil aliens. This ending was actually a relief for the warship.

Billions of insects on the Diana were instantly engulfed in flames, and were buried along with the warships beneath their feet.
