Chapter 726: Battle of Macragge 9

On the distant horizon, a black swarm of Zerg drop pods came like a surging black tide. They were like huge moving shadows, approaching the city of Macragge at a suffocating speed.

This once prosperous city is now facing an unprecedented crisis.

However, the citizens of Macragge did not sit still and wait for death. Long before the Zerg drop pods appeared, the city's void shield system and powerful anti-aircraft firepower network had been fully deployed and ready for battle.

When the dense swarm of Zerg airborne pods finally came into the range of fire, deafening artillery fire suddenly rang out, and millions of shells whizzed towards the sky like raindrops, instantly covering the entire sky tightly.

The scene in the city was equally spectacular. Every house and every street had been carefully transformed into an indestructible firing point for the Astra Militarum soldiers.

Here, no matter men, women, young or old, as long as they are still able to move, they will step forward without hesitation and bravely take to the streets.

The men carried heavy ammunition boxes on their shoulders and marched with firm and powerful steps; the women held medical kits and shuttled between gunfire and bullets to rescue the wounded; the children were not to be outdone and helped pass on light weapons and supplies, and even the white-haired old people contributed their remaining energy.

At the same time, in the center of the city, the last two companies of the Space Marines of the Ultramarines Legion stood like a Great Wall of Steel.

Unlike the Astra Militarum soldiers, these battle-hardened warriors chose not to fire blindly into the air.

They have sharp eyes and quick movements, and with their extraordinary combat skills and excellent equipment, they quickly clear out those Zerg units that have successfully landed on the ground and are still alive.

Whenever a hideous Zerg creature appears, the Space Marines will deliver a fatal blow without mercy to ensure the safety of the city.

"Ms. Yuton, what are you doing?" an attendant asked cautiously.

I saw Yutun tightly holding the power sword that was emitting powerful energy fluctuations, his posture as straight as a pine tree.

She was wearing a light blue, close-fitting power armor carefully customized in the Macragge style, which perfectly outlined her tall and agile figure.

At this moment, she was standing quietly on the spacious balcony in the mansion, her eyes as cold as frost, staring up at the sky.

"Guilliman..." Euden whispered the name softly, as if calling someone far away.

There was no expression on her beautiful yet old face, but her eyes revealed a deep worry and determination.

Yuton's sight slowly moved towards the dark swarm of insects in the sky. They were like a surging black tide, covering the sky and the earth.

However, faced with such a horrifying scene, Yuton only frowned slightly, then turned around expressionlessly and left the window indifferently.

At the same time, in the sky above the city, the reassembled naval aviation fighter fleet was on full alert.

A formation of 100 Lightning fighters was like a silver lightning, shuttling between the clouds at an astonishing speed; a formation of 150 Tie fighters was arranged in a tight formation, with machine guns spewing out hot tongues of fire; and a formation of 50 X-wing fighters circled flexibly in the air, ready to launch a fatal blow to the enemy at any time.

In an instant, red beams of blasting energy streaked across the sky like dense raindrops, and the shining light of the bomb illuminated the entire sky.

The huge biological drop chambers were instantly torn into countless pieces under the fierce attack, turning into bloody debris that fell from the sky one after another.

These drop pods originally carried a large number of terrifying Zerg warriors in an attempt to invade this prosperous city, but in the face of the brave pilots, their conspiracy was doomed to fail.

However, the swarm's reaction speed was beyond imagination. In the blink of an eye, countless flying insects broke through the thick clouds like a black torrent and swooped down on the fighter planes with the force of thunder.

"Attention all formations! Attention all formations! Disperse immediately! Disperse quickly!" The commander shouted orders through the communication channel at the top of his lungs.

The swarm of insects that covered the sky and the sun was like a rolling black cloud, sweeping in with a suffocating feeling of oppression.

Although more than a dozen fighter jets tried their best to dodge left and right, some of them were still unable to avoid the surging swarm of insects and were ruthlessly swallowed up in an instant.

The powerful firepower they were equipped with seemed so small and powerless at this moment. Facing the dense and overwhelming swarm of insects, this little attack was simply no match for them.

"Hurry up! Scatter! Scatter!" The pilots anxiously controlled the fighter planes, trying to escape the swarm's encirclement.

But unfortunately, more and more fighters were devoured by the swarm, and their numbers were so large that the raging flames produced by each fighter explosion could be easily covered up by other swarms.

At this point, the once impregnable sky defense line has been completely lost.

At this moment, those fighter jets that are still struggling are like a group of poor lambs waiting to be slaughtered without any ability to fight back.

"Bang!" Accompanied by a deafening sound, a biological airdrop chamber several meters high crashed into the city like a meteorite.

In an instant, dust flew, the earth shook, and the entire battlefield trembled.

Then, the huge hatch that looked like a mouthpart slowly opened, and dozens of fighting insects with ferocious fangs crawled out of it like wild horses.

They bared their fangs and claws, looking aggressive, as if they wanted to tear everything in front of them into pieces.

However, what was unexpected was that this biological airdrop chamber was not just a means of transportation. Since it had biological properties, after successfully dropping off the Zerg, it actually began to show amazing changes.

I saw that the originally hard and cold shell gradually softened and secreted a light purple liquid.

The liquid spread rapidly, forming a thick fungal blanket that began to ruthlessly devour the surrounding land like a plague.

The bodies of the soldiers who unfortunately fell on the battlefield were quickly covered by the fungal blanket and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if they had never existed. This scene is chilling.

"The enemy has entered the city! Everyone, pay attention, prepare for battle! Prepare for battle!" After seeing this scene, the soldiers in the fortress couldn't help but feel panic and anger in their hearts.

They knew very well that if the Zerg invasion could not be stopped in time, the consequences would be disastrous.

As a result, they had to quickly adjust their tactics and divert part of the firepower originally used to defend against enemy forces outside the city to focus on dealing with these enemies who suddenly landed on the ground.
