Chapter 2910 Escape from the Python Mouth (Part 2)
After receiving the order, the ships in the evacuation area began to launch a salvo. In addition to the Eternal Loyalty, the main attack force also included the Huangquan-class heavy cruiser Snake King, and the Executioner-class large-scale The cruiser Silver Redemption and the battle barge Inscription fired huge cannonballs and hot lasers into the depths of the void, and the intense beams of light hit the Tyranid biological ships one after another.
The bow main gun of the Eternal Loyalty launched an astonishing blow. In a burst of scorching brilliant beams, a huge swallowing ship directly burst, and the mountain-sized fragments fell from the living things. It flew out of the ship, and its soft internal organs ruptured as the body decompressed. Kilometers of internal organs spilled into space, and were then caught by the gravitational field. They dived towards the surface of the planet through the atmosphere, and their broken shells glowed with red heat. Light, pink flesh roasted as it hurtled toward the planet.
But entanglement was not the original intention.
"Report! The last transport ship has completed the recovery of personnel and equipment!"
"Notify all ships and start all engines!"
The imperial fleet, which had adjusted its course, immediately began to accelerate and sail along the planet's orbit towards the other end of the planet at high speed.
"The other two fleets immediately broke away from the battle and headed to the edge of the galaxy for a subspace jump."
At this time, the Hive Fleet still entangled the planet was still in the "activation" stage, although It intends to hunt down human ships, but has no way to execute it immediately, so it pours its anger on the evacuation fleet "nearly before its eyes". It can feel that the individual it fears is among them.
"This is the Tyranid bioship, a terrifying miracle."
As a fragrant breeze suddenly drifted from the busy bridge, those highly nervous mortals suddenly felt their slightly groggy brains shaken, but no one dared to pay attention to the reason for this.
There were no outsiders on the Eternal Loyalty, so Soshyan didn't say anything when Veronica appeared on the bridge. She said she wanted to see what the Tyranid Hive Fleet looked like, and there was no reason to refuse.
Soshiyang nodded and whispered:
"They came from outside the galaxy. How big and how many they have is still unknown, but from the extreme star field to the storm Their traces appear in the star field, which shows that they have a wide range of activities."
Veronica sighed.
"Is there really no pure land in the universe?"
"The pure land is created by oneself, but the emergence of Tyron also represents another kind of hope. At least in the face of huge threats, even the most stubborn .The alien haters also had to accept certain compromises.”
At this time, the fleet had already circled the orbit of the planet. The hive mind did not react to this behavior, but the Tyranid biological ship was in the galaxy. The relatively slow speed inside became a fatal weakness at this time. They tried their best and could not catch up with the imperial ships that were fully powered and accelerated by orbit.
Some crew members couldn't understand why they didn't evacuate immediately, but Veronica had already guessed Soshyan's intention, and a smile appeared on her face.
"You are looking for the opportunity to release weapons of destruction." "Yes, if I anger it, it will definitely come to me. The Hive Mind cannot resist the temptation to destroy me. But we are faster than them. If more, they will follow us around the planet, taking a longer path than they currently have, and they will catch nothing and we will slip away.”
"A gravity slingshot."
Soshiyang nodded slightly, then glanced at the time, and then said loudly:
"Launch an atmospheric incineration torpedo!"
The next second, six atmospheric incineration torpedoes were launched one after another towards the planet below.
This torpedo is one of the Empire's main weapons for enforcing the Extermination Order. Its function is to literally ignite all the oxygen on the target planet, turning it into a blazing little sun for a long time.
As six torpedoes entered the atmosphere, a catastrophic explosion erupted. A terrifying plasma fire pillar erupted from an altitude of tens of thousands of meters. The huge power caused the entire world to feel violent vibrations. The air was quickly ignited, and billowing flames rose around the planet.
Countless Tyranid creatures were screamed and annihilated in the flames and impact. The huge capillary tower was torn off and ignited. Even the diffuse poisonous mist became an accelerant, causing the sky-burning fire to spread across the sky. Spread on the ground.
Looking down from orbit, flowers of death are blooming rapidly on the surface of the planet.
The hive consciousness finally realized what was happening and let out a terrifying roar. Even ordinary people without psychic potential could feel the sharp roar in their ears. Veronica even frowned. He frowned, and an invisible spiritual barrier rose up to resist this roar that was comparable to the roar of a god.
But at this time, the human fleet had completed "accumulation" and was "launched" from the planet's orbit like an arrow from the string, passing through the blank interception of the Tyranid biota. Except for the two frigates, they were unfortunately hit and sunk in the end. , the other ships escaped smoothly and accelerated all the way towards the edge of the galaxy. At this time, the Hive Fleet changed from a giant python that strangled its prey to a stupid snake entangled in a piece of burning coal. The Hive Consciousness tried hard to take back everything. The biomass that could be recovered was unable to chase the escaped Soshyan.
Soon, the three fleets converged, leaving behind the destroyed galaxy, starting the subspace engine and sailing into the subspace.
During this period, Soshyan convened all chapter commanders and company commanders for a stage combat summary meeting, and praised Malakin's actions, and then took out the ground combat and space A series of data collected during the battle were comprehensively analyzed on this Tyranid Hive Fleet, and a consensus was finally reached that this fleet has a very strong learning ability and evolutionary speed, and there have been a large number of people who are not already in the Empire. Regarding the biological weapons in the records, Nulus, who attended the meeting, said that the Empire's Tyranid database has not been updated for hundreds of years. The data from this battle needs to be handed over to the Alien Tribunal in time as new evaluation data. Soshyan also expressed this. No comments.
After all, the Tribunal is still the most convenient organization to mobilize the power of the empire. It is unrealistic to completely bypass them.
After the meeting, Soshyan also took everyone to a battleship of the Mechanicus. This battleship belonged to Zhao Akada. Although it also participated in the battle, its main role was research. Inside are a large number of research rooms and cages.
"Based on the anatomical data of one hundred Tyranids of various sizes, we discovered a unique phenomenon."
In a huge circular laboratory, hanging on tall metal stands There were more than a dozen corpses of Tyran warrior bugs and sword bugs with different weapon types. Their shells and skins were torn open by countless small silver iron hooks, fully exposing the internal structure, and even the skulls were cut in half. The brain tissue is displayed in front of everyone. These are all preservatives, and you can see that they are covered with a shiny oil film.
