I Am the Swarm

The front thrusters of the Yuntu battleships were turned off one by one, and the rear thrusters started to work. At the same time, the energy system began to operate at full capacity, and the weapons began to warm up and recharge.

The gathering of energy, the energy fluctuations created by the 50 million warships are astonishing, not to mention the current swarm, even the swarm hundreds of years ago can detect the coming of danger.

Therefore, along with the change of the Yuntu Clan, the insect swarm also began to change. The originally dim biological lights on the Primordial Class became brighter again, and occasionally electric arcs flashed, and the swinging of the arms and legs became more frequent.

The battle was started by the Yuntu tribe. After all, they had no reinforcements, and every delay would be disadvantageous to them. Relying on the advanced technology of the energy system and the longer range of the main gun, they took the lead in firing a salvo.

However, the always-vigilant insect swarm had already prepared, and the troops in front of the muzzle made some fine-tuning of their formation. The Taikoo-level arms and legs swayed, and they gathered in a line with each other, forming a long line of straight lines.

This reduces the bombardment area and at the same time, the Taikoo in the front row can also act as a shield for the teammates in the rear. After a round of artillery fire, more than a dozen Taikoo-class at the forefront of each long line were penetrated and blown up. But the Taikoo class behind them rushed towards the Yuntu fleet under their cover.

Before the second round of the main guns of the Yuntu battleship fired, apart from the Taikoo class that attracted fire from the front, some of the Taikoo class from other directions had already entered the range, and the red energy beams flying all over the sky towards the Yuntu fleet. Since the Yuntu Fleet was surrounded, facing attacks from all directions, they didn't have much room to pull or dodge, and could only rely on thick reactive armor to resist.

The technology tree usually rises in general, and the Yuntu family, which is leading in energy, engines, weapons, etc., is also good at materials science. The first salvo of the insect swarm only caused damage to the surrounding Yuntu warships, and less than a thousand ships were actually damaged and exploded.

Although this has something to do with the fact that there are not many Taikoo class that have reached the range, and the firepower has not reached the peak, but it can still be seen that the strong defense of the Yuntu warships.

After receiving a round of firepower, the outer uniform map battleships immediately shrank inward from the gaps in the formation, and a large number of engineering robots flew out of the ship's cabin to repair the damaged parts urgently.

The new and intact Yuntu battleship filled the vacancy just now and acted as a new round of human shields.

"Release the drone!" Yuntu Fleet Commander shouted.

The side hatch of the Yuntu warship opened, and drones shining with metallic luster were ejected, and then ignited to take off. They formed formations one by one, some of them came to the periphery of the fleet to scatter and circle around, trying to absorb and block part of the swarm's artillery fire, while the other part directly charged at the swarm and counter-charged the Taikoo class.

In previous battles, the drones of the coalition forces generally played a defensive role, resisting artillery fire and intercepting adults and larvae of insect swarms. The Yuntu Clan was also the first character to release drones to charge the swarm as soon as the battle started.

The commanders of the Yuntu fleet can see very clearly that they are now encircled by the Zerg, and they must try to place the battlefield as far outside as possible, so as to prevent the encirclement from shrinking continuously, and finally lose the pulling space completely.

For these Yuntu drones that rushed up proactively, the Taigu class basically ignored their long-range attacks. Among the ten Yuntu battleships captured by the swarm before, there were also such drone deployments.

Although the technology of the Yuntu tribe is not bad, they are not capable of configuring advanced energy systems and dark energy long-range strike weapons on such a small combat platform, so these drones still use the old-fashioned energy cannon system, but the various The parameters are higher than other civilizations.

However, due to the limitation of body size, this small-caliber energy cannon, no matter how high the parameters are, cannot cause serious damage to the ancient-level biological armor that has been upgraded many times without causing qualitative changes.

The Yuntu tribe also understands this, so they installed dark energy mines in some drones in advance. This kind of weapon originally deployed on the waterway, combined with the drone, forms a suicide tracking missile.

This tactic is not a temporary idea. Many weapons of advanced civilizations have strong compatibility. When these drones were manufactured, they were even poured with mine buckles for this moment.

The small-caliber energy cannon of the drone can be ignored, but the power of the dark energy mine should be respected. The Taikoo class itself only has long-range strike weapons and close-range combat skills, and its ability to strike at mid-range is very weak.

It is impossible to hit these drones with Taikoo-class main guns, and this kind of thing that explodes on touch is the nemesis of melee combat. Fortunately, in order to fill the gap in the mid-range strike, each Taikoo-level storage bag carries some adults and larvae. This is the moment when they come into play.

At this time, some of the fastest-flying Taikoo-class drones had already collided with the drone group, and the light of the explosion instantly shone in the void. The instantaneous ultra-high energy output, even the ancient biological armor, cannot resist it.

The charge of the Primordial Class was stalled, but fortunately, a steady stream of adults and juveniles had joined the battlefield at this time, crossed the position of the Primordial Class, and charged towards the Yuntu drone.

Unmanned fighter jets and space octopuses have their own advantages and disadvantages. The space octopus has stronger abilities such as dodging, maneuvering and turning, and its combat effectiveness in a small area or in a closed space will be greatly magnified. But in terms of speed, the structure of the drone is more advantageous, especially in the vast space environment. Once the space octopus does not stop the drone, it will be difficult to catch up.

If the swarm's strategic depth is further, these are nothing, but the current situation is that the Taikoo-class still maintains a certain speed forward, and the unmanned fighters only need to cross a thin layer of defense between adults and larvae. Come into contact with the ancient class.

The Yuntu tribe also discovered this, the fighter planes did not entangle with the adults and larvae, and the airborne energy cannon fired, trying to drive them away or destroy the defensive formation.

But at this moment, the mouths of the storage pouches of the adults suddenly opened, and out of it sprayed out space version spiders and war bugs about 20 centimeters in size. There were so many of them that they quickly covered an area.

These space version spider war bugs, because of their size, they are not equipped with any propulsion system and are a purely defensive unit.

Most of their body is occupied by a special silk vesicle. Thin spider silk sprayed from their arthropod joints and abdomen to the surroundings, quickly covering this area.

Although these spider silks are very thin and transparent, they are almost invisible, but they have excellent toughness. Even if they stick to the adults and larvae, they will not be torn off, but they will move forward with the spiders and war worms.

Thus, such a scene appeared on the battlefield. Some spiders and war bugs floated in space with silk threads floating around them, while others hung on the space octopuses, rushing towards the formation of Yuntu fighters with them.
