Chapter 365: Hiss~ Is that Tyranid Siren leading the way?
Zila~
A series of bioelectric entanglements.
The Hive Mind finally recovered from the sluggishness, and its thinking became active again.
The situation at hand is relatively bad, but there is still a chance to save it.
There is not only one pilot creature in the Leviathan Hive Fleet, but there are five other narwhale bug ships located in other locations.
If any one of these pilot creatures successfully activates the space compression navigation channel, it and the hive mothership can use this to leave this dangerous area.
This Hive Mind has decided to go to other star fields and hide at the edge of the stars to restore the insect swarm, far away from the savior!
In the void.
Several narwhal bug ships followed the instructions of bioelectricity.
These Tyranid biological ships swam rapidly in space like whales, flying towards the area of the hive mothership from different directions.
The entire Leviathan Hive Fleet is cooperating with the actions of the pilot creature.
Keeping them safe almost at any cost.
Hiss~
Those living biological ships used their own flesh and blood to build a new front to resist the incoming artillery fire. Biological ships were dying every moment.
over time.
The distance between the narwhal insect ships and the hive mothership is getting closer and closer.
……
The bridge of the Dream.
There is a tense atmosphere here.
The huge projected star map in mid-air marks the position of the narwhal insect ship.
Now, the entire Redemption Fleet is executing the blocking plan put forward by the Savior. The purpose is to completely kill the narwhal insect ship and cut off the retreat of the Leviathan Hive Fleet.
Prevent Leviathan from escaping from the Baal System and leaving behind consequences.
The main person in charge of these plans is the commander of the Third Redemption Fleet Voladi. He arrived at the Dream and temporarily took over the entire Redemption Fleet.
“The Eighth Battle Group of the First Fleet, advance five hundred kilometers to the right wing!”
Volady locked his eyes on the star map and continued to issue orders, trying to break through the Tyranid defenses with battle groups from other fleets.
Give the Third Fleet a chance to attack the narwhal ship.
At this moment, Volradi was a little nervous.
Over the past few days, the Third Redemption Fleet has been marking and studying the hornships, looking for opportunities to annihilate them.
For this plan, the Redemption Fleet suffered more battle losses.
If he fails to successfully annihilate all the narwhale bug ships and causes the Leviathan Hive Mothership to escape, he may have to apologize to the Savior.
Of course, what made him even more nervous were those eyes.
Behind Volady, Lord Savior and more than a dozen chapter leaders were standing, observing the annihilation battle against the Tyranid pilot creatures.
The gazes of everyone, especially the savior, made the commander of the Redemption Third Fleet sweat a little.
However, these did not affect Volradi's command.
Under his tactical arrangements, the Redemption Fleet anticipated the enemy's actions and continued to attack and cut Leviathan's biological fleet.
Ultimately creating a defensive gap.
The Third Redemption Fleet successfully used this opportunity to destroy another narwhal insect ship.
This softened the atmosphere inside the ship slightly.
That means Volady's tactics were successful. He was able to break through the defenses again and again and kill the Tyranid pilot creatures.
"We must not let that guy escape..." Ron thought to himself as he looked at the star map.
Leviathan Hive Mind’s learning ability is too strong, and it is a bit vindictive.
If we let it run away this time, the Savior’s Territory will usher in an even more terrifying insect wave in the future.
Moreover, the Leviathan Hive Mothership is also the richest prize in this battle in his mind. Many future plans will require the Hive Mothership.
That is not only an alien enemy, but also a source of large amounts of meat protein and the future of territorial biotechnology.
Simply full of treasures!
Let it run away, which means blood loss.
Perhaps in the eyes of the empire, being able to repel Leviathan with less battle damage is an unprecedented victory, worthy of building a huge memorial square and holding a triumph that lasts for a standard Terran month. celebration.
But in Ron's view, in a large-scale battle, if you can't get rich and get huge benefits, you can make a fortune with blood.
That is pure blood loss.
not to mention.
He signed a Tyranids cooperative development project contract with those business representatives.
How embarrassing it would be if Tai Lun ran away...
Fortunately, everything is going smoothly.
If nothing unexpected happens, Leviathan can be caught and dragged back in the next few days and trained hard!
As the war continued, one narwhal ship after another was wiped out.
But the atmosphere on the bridge became tense again.
Because the remaining narwhale insect ships are getting closer and closer to the hive mothership, Leviathan's biological fleet has adjusted its strategy and defended it more tightly.
It is difficult to use the Nova main gun for a sneak attack like at the beginning.
If the narwhal insect ship is allowed to successfully return to the hive mothership, the redemption fleet will completely lose the chance to attack!
In the void.
The Redemption Fleet and the Leviathan Hive Fleet are constantly mobilizing, and mechanical artillery fire and biological weapons fill all the space.
Warships on both sides are constantly falling.
If you look down at the stars, you can find that the fleets of both sides have been divided into dozens of groups, and they are constantly moving and entangled, constantly emitting dazzling lights in the void.
These battlefields surround those narwhal ships in a spherical shape and move with them.
After all, this is a war in space. The battlefield is three-dimensional, with areas above, below, left, right, and front available for attack.
Carelessness in any direction or even angle may lead to fatal attacks.
The Leviathan Hive Fleet defends any space node and protects the narwhal ships at all costs, even if all biological ships die.
The Redemption Fleet is desperately trying to break through the Tyranids' defense front, trying to attack the Tyranids' leading creatures.
This war has reached a critical point, and any mistakes will lead to failure!
Both sides are racing against time, but with different goals.
Leviathan is making its final struggle, trying to leave this galaxy to get a chance to develop again.
The Redemption Fleet hopes to keep Leviathan behind, completely crush this Tyranid alien force, and usher in the greatest victory since the empire encountered the Tyranids!
Boom——
Macro cannons, lance rays, and torpedoes destroyed the living biological ships protecting the narwhal insect ships one after another, and the silent neighing of the insects spread throughout the area.
In the gap between the Tyranid flesh and blood defense line being re-formed, a cruiser accelerated with all its strength and rushed towards the target.
Inside the cruiser's bridge.
The passionate sacred music of the Savior resounded, not just here, but the same sacred music resounded throughout the ship.
This is their last act of loyalty.
Just now, the commander announced this order to the ship, and then drove the ship with all his strength towards the narwhal ship, and perished with it.
Now, this ship and all its crew have entered the countdown to life.
Some of the crew members were afraid, some knelt down and prayed quietly, and some continued to work, but there was no commotion on the ship because of this order.
On the contrary, it seemed particularly quiet.
This is war.
When they set foot on this ship, they swore to live or die with it.
In fact, when participating in this battle, these crew members were already prepared to sacrifice and left suicide notes.
The ship's hull is shaking violently.
A ship's mechanic held on to the metal wall, walked to the porthole with difficulty, and looked out into space.
The ferocious, huge tentacles of flesh and blood were waving, trying to capture this ship. Every thorn on the tentacles was larger than any engineering vehicle he had ever driven.
"The savior is above..."
The mechanic's eyes showed a trace of fear, and he couldn't help but exclaimed.
This was the first time he had seen these alien monsters so close, and he could not imagine what a terrifying sight it would be if they came to his home.
Fortunately, they had the protection of the savior, so they didn't let this happen.
He looked past the tentacles and saw the terrifying whale-like insect body in the distance.
That is the alien monster they want to deal with.
in sight.
The alien monster is getting bigger and bigger, and it can no longer be seen in its entirety.
The technician saw the ferocious eyeball of the alien monster. One eyeball alone was dozens of meters in size.
More importantly.
He saw the fear in the alien monster's eyes.
"Hey, it turns out...these damn insect monsters are also scared!"
The mechanic couldn't help but sneered. He always thought that these insect aliens were cold, emotionless beings.
But soon there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
The mechanic knew that at this distance, the ship would hit the alien monster in more than ten seconds.
I am about to face death.
He was going to die, to die for his loyalty.
His soul will return to the Garden of Eden described in the Holy Scriptures of Redemption and usher in eternal peace.
There are no demons, no aliens, no hunger and no war.
Their souls need not be disturbed.
The mechanic has always thought that he is the most devout believer and will not have any fear in the face of death.
Able to bravely face chaos and aliens, and sacrifice everything for the savior without hesitation.
But when death really came, he was still afraid. The mechanic gripped the grip on the wall harder, but his body couldn't help but tremble.
He was ashamed of this and felt that he had betrayed his faith.
The mechanic closed his eyes tightly and recited verses from the Bible of Salvation loudly to relieve the fear in his heart.
Suddenly, he thought of something and felt a little lucky.
What this ship is about to destroy is an extremely important target. If it succeeds, it will receive great merit and glory.
That is the glory that belongs to all.
Different from the confused imperial people.
The citizens of the Savior’s Territory do not live in a hazy state. They are allowed to know many things and can clearly know what they are doing.
What to sacrifice for.
Instead of dying in confusion under fear and despair, not even knowing what caused his death.
This is one of the reasons why the Savior Territory is particularly cohesive.
"Savior above, my name may be engraved on the memorial monument in the world of Erth. This is really unprecedented..."
The mechanic thought this way.
It was an unimaginable glory. Only the hero's name can be left on that monument, which covers several kilometers and towers into the clouds, and will be passed down forever.
He is also a hero.
As for generous pensions and family glory, the mechanic did not think about it.
He was alone, and his family had long been destroyed by the alien invasion. It was the savior who gave him a new life.
He endured the headache caused by the Tyranid alien shadow and suddenly opened his eyes, wanting to witness the death of the alien insect monster with his own eyes!
The ship approached the alien monster at high speed, and the fear in the opponent's eyeballs was clearly visible. The sticky chitin skin was so ugly.
“For the savior...”
At the end of his life, there was no fear or regret in the mechanic’s eyes.
A violent impact came, and the portholes shattered, followed by dazzling firelight, which quickly occupied every space of the ship.
Boom! ! !
The cruiser completed its sacred mission, and the sparks of the explosion engulfed the narwhal insect ship.
The Tyranid pilot creature made a cry like a whale, struggled in the burning flames, and then died!
......
"No!!!"
In the core chamber of the void beast, the Hive Mind screamed unwillingly, and the worry and fear in its eyes became more and more intense. .
Another narwhal insect ship died under the attack of the human fleet.
This is undoubtedly a huge blow.
The Leviathan Hive Fleet has lost five narwhale bug ships, and only one is still alive and is rushing towards the hive mothership.
Now, all forces are mobilized to protect the narwhal insect ship.
That is its only hope to get out of here.
However, the Hive Mind does not have much confidence in this.
The savior's offensive is too fierce, and he may have other means. The Tyranid pilot creature is in danger.
"Perhaps, I can seek reconciliation from the savior?"
The ancient wisdom of the swarm suddenly came up with such a ridiculous idea.
It knew that the savior was not as repulsive to the alien race as other humans in the empire.
not to mention.
My own fleet still maintains a lot of strength. If it attacks desperately, it can still cause huge casualties to the savior's army.
There may be an opportunity for negotiation, even if it costs some money.
For example, the technology of some Tyranids.
Even if the hope is a little slim, you must try it!
The biological instinct of the Leviathan Hive Fleet was inspired, and it wanted to survive and gain more evolution.
Moreover, the terrible threat about the Savior must also be spread.
Let the rest of the Tyranids know.
This ancient swarm wisdom believes that he is the hive mind that knows the Savior best, and only he can lead the Tyranid Vanguard Tentacles to destroy the Savior.
Let the Great Devourer enjoy the galaxy better.
So you have to survive!
In such a battlefield, it is not easy to contact the savior. The communication channel of the human fleet is protected by some kind of existence, making it difficult to transmit accurate information in the past.
The Hive Mind dispatched several invisible biological ships loaded with cerebrates and flew towards the savior's flagship.
Once these biological ships are slightly closer to the ship, he can use the brainworm as a node to contact the savior and communicate with each other.
It is willing to evacuate and pay for some Tyranid biotechnology.
……
The bridge of the Dream.
In the star map projection in mid-air, the red dots representing the narwhale insect ships were extinguished one after another, leaving only a dazzling red dot.
Now, the area where the red dot is located is the core of the battlefield.
In the airspace near the narwhal insect ship, the Tyranids and the Savior fleets were layered on top of each other, blocking out the sky and the sun. The warships in the inner layer could no longer see any starlight.
There was only the dark shadow of the battleship and the invisible barrier of gunfire.
"Fortunately, I noticed the alien enemy's tricks in advance..."
Volady's tense nerves relaxed slightly.
Not long ago, there were some changes in the formation of the Tyran fleet. It seemed to be intercepting artillery fire and clearing out some channels.
This is obviously an abnormal behavior. It is likely that the Tyranid fleet is trying to sneak attack our command flagship, the Dream.
He noticed all this in time.
Although that was just speculation, the radar did not detect any threats.
For safety reasons.
Volady still tried his best to adjust the formation and deployed artillery fire to intensively bombard the relevant areas.
However, the facts were as he expected.
The cunning Tyranid aliens sent several invisible biological ships to approach from different areas, trying to sneak attack here!
Fortunately, he lived up to the savior and completely killed the potential threat.
The Hive Mind’s attempt failed.
None of the invisible biological ships sent out could get close to the savior's flagship, and they were all accurately annihilated.
“Why can this be discovered?
Those invisible biological ships are almost impossible to detect! "
The pupils of the compound eyes of the Hive Mind tightened, looking incredible: "Has the savior already predicted my behavior? ”
It fell into more anxiety.
After that, the Hive Mind tried again.
It controlled a Tyranid Siren to escape from the battlefield , to a safe airspace
According to the memory it acquired, it made the tentacles of this living biological ship assume a non-threatening posture that humans could understand.
Then control the opponent to slowly approach the savior's flagship.
Inside the Dream.
The ship's monitoring equipment discovered a strange Tyranid siren and projected the image.
The strange behavior of the Tyranids left everyone confused.
It's so weird...
The Tyranid Siren is almost half erect, with clear eyes, and does not look threatening in any way.
Its tentacles entangled to form the shape of a human hand, and then it was raised high, like a human being lowering his posture and trying to surrender.
I almost shouted "Captain, don't shoot, I am one of our own".
Ron and the Chapter Leader gathered together, watching the projection in mid-air, trying to analyze this phenomenon.
"The Tyranids are a bit strange."
Dante said something like a wheel and then shut up, as if he just wanted to prove that he was seriously participating in the analysis.
"Emperor, is the Tyranid alien's gesture of surrender asking us to let it go?"
Tiberos' claw blade gently scratched his head and said a subversion Tai Lun's vivid and extremely absurd answer.
He himself didn’t believe it.
After all, in the Empire's impression, Tyranid aliens are ruthless devouring machines without any emotions or emotions from living creatures.
Currently, researchers in the Savior Territory and Baal believe that Tyranids have emotional behaviors similar to humans. These aliens are fearful, hateful, and have survival instincts.
To put it simply, their high-level units are intelligent beings.
This is also in line with the basic logic of biological evolution. Even some beasts are intelligent enough.
They know not to irritate humans who are trolls, and they know the difference between a full meal and a full meal. Some outstanding people even know to choose egg yolk pie and chicken for a meal.
What's more, such a huge alien civilization.
And they are developing and evolving consciously. They can also use different tactics according to different enemies and calculate the pros and cons. It is impossible to not have basic wisdom and desire.
Ron pinched his chin, frowned slightly, and put aside his conservative thinking to make a bold guess: "I'm afraid this is a mutated Tyranid alien with independent consciousness. Could it be the leader of the aliens?"< br>
There seems to be nothing wrong with the appearance of a leader who is temporarily out of control among the Tyranids.
He also has a good demon brother.
This was already an imaginative conclusion, but he could never imagine what the real facts were.
Who would have thought that the enemy leader would come out to lead the way?
Anyway.
That Tyranid alien is worth contacting and has great research value.
Under the order of the savior, several battleships slowly approached the special Tyranids...
