Chapter 637: The Attack of Spore Mine

"The enemy has been spotted. The Diana is gone. Next, be prepared to counter the enemy's boarding attempt." Mikael Fabian, the third captain of the Ultramarines, stood on the bridge and directed the battle. His voice was low, firm, and full of majesty.

Mikael Fabian is a stubborn and pragmatic warrior whose hatred for the xenomorphs is so strong that his eyes burn with rage.

This hatred makes him a ruthless opponent who will never back down no matter what adversity he faces.

During the fierce battle, Fabian demonstrated his abilities as a company commander of the Ultramarines Legion.

His tactical arrangements were precise and every move was carefully considered to ensure that losses were minimized and victory was achieved.

"The strike force should prepare for battle and activate the defense system to the maximum!" Mikael ordered.

His tone was serious and firm, giving people a sense of irresistible power.

As his orders were given, the atmosphere in the bridge dropped to freezing point, as if it could freeze people.

Hundreds of Space Marines quickly gathered around Mikael. They were tall, well-equipped, and exuded a powerful aura.

More Space Marines were deployed at various key positions on the battleship, ready for battle.

In the operations of the 3rd Company Strike Force, they are not limited to traditional tactics.

Among them, there are tactics like the Legion's First Company using Terminator armor.

This powerful armor gives warriors unparalleled protection and combat effectiveness, enabling them to perform missions in harsh environments.

These tactics were mainly used in the operations of infiltrating space ships and sweeping asteroids, and achieved remarkable results.

Not only that, the 3rd Company also sometimes employs a unique tactic - the use of Centurion Terminator armor.

This suit gives warriors greater strength and defense, allowing them to unleash incredible firepower in close combat.

Through saturation firepower, they can clear out the aliens in every aisle and every cabin, leaving the enemy no chance to breathe.

"Vala, get ready for battle, it's going to be a tough battle." Mikael said seriously to Vala beside him.

Samdar, the veteran Ultramarines standing next to Vala, was wiping the chainsword in his hand while nervously and excitedly making final preparations for the battle.

He was well aware of the difficulty of this battle, but he also looked forward to showing his true strength in this world.

"Newcomer, you will follow us for a while. You only need to kill those fish that escape the net. Leave the rest to us." Samdar patted Wala on the shoulder and encouraged him.

He knew that for a newly recruited soldier, participating in combat for the first time might be nerve-wracking and unsettling, but he believed that Vala was more than capable enough for the role.

“Newcomer, follow us closely and don’t fall behind, or you’ll be beaten to pieces.” Varius, another veteran of the Ultramarines Legion next to Vala, teased.

There was a mocking smile on his face, as if he wanted to ease the tense atmosphere in this way.

"Okay, Varius, stop lying to the newbies. Generally speaking, as long as the mission is not too dangerous, our casualty rate will be very low." Samdar stuffed the last bomb into the magazine in his hand, and then said to Varius who was teasing Vala on the side.

Varius shrugged and said with a smile: "I was just joking. Everyone relax a little. Leave the rest of the battle to us."

At this time, the Zerg fleet had begun to change direction and directed its attack directly at the Space Marine battle barge.

The massive biological warship began to move once more, the biological turrets on its flesh and blood body beginning to attack the approaching Space Marine battle barge.

Light blue plasma flames and highly corrosive sulfuric acid were sprayed out, and spore mines around the Zerg fleet also crashed into the battle barge.

These spore mines are made up of genetically modified organisms that can float in the air and explode once they come into contact with the enemy.

The huge swarms of spore mines are the living mines used by the Zerg. Any non-Zerg creature that approaches them will explode.

There are special air bags inside the spore mines, which allow them to float along the ground or in space and will not explode accidentally when they come into contact with other objects.

If left unattended, a spore mine can float for days, weeks, or even years until someone unwary gets close enough.

What is amazing is that these spore mines actually possess the most basic animal intelligence.

Their interiors are filled with all sorts of poisons, germs and chemicals, while their bodies are covered in sensitive tentacles that detect heat and vibrations in their surroundings.

When these spore mines sense the presence of fire nearby, they will explode without hesitation, attempting to eliminate the enemy in this way.

At this moment, tens of thousands of spore mines seemed like mines buried deep in the universe, rushing towards the battle barge at an extremely strange and difficult to track speed.

Faced with this situation, the anti-aircraft gunners on the Imperial battleships took decisive action and quickly activated all the equipment that could be used to counter.

A large number of anti-aircraft shells poured out like raindrops, and dense sparks flashed around the warship.

The spore mines that had just approached the warship were quickly overwhelmed by the powerful firepower and eventually detonated in deep space.

"Great fight, guys! Kill these disgusting bugs!"

A bearded naval artillery officer shouted excitedly, and one spore mine after another was gradually destroyed in the artillery fire.

"This is the Endurance! It's approaching you!"

"Watch out for torpedoes! Watch out for torpedoes!"

Along with shouting at the top of one's lungs, dozens of bombs with strange shapes were fired from the biological warship, heading straight for one of the frigates like an arrow from a bow.

"The void shield cannot be activated! Cannot be activated!"

"The plasma shield is overloading! Overloading!"

"Ammunition depot! The ammunition depot exploded!"

Along with screams of terror, the originally intact warship turned into a charred wreckage in an instant. Burning flames and thick smoke filled the air, as if foreshadowing the arrival of a nightmare.

"Fuck! This is getting serious!"

Just as the Imperial fleet was regrouping, the Zerg fleet launched another fierce counterattack.

As an advanced Zerg unit capable of commanding an entire fleet, the Cerebrate possesses amazing intelligence and powerful computing capabilities.

It is like a ruthless commander, using its biological fleet with the precision of a scalpel. Every attack is carefully planned to ensure the greatest victory at the lowest cost in the fierce battle.
