Chapter 3003: Fierce Battle in Westeros (1)
After talking about his plan, Bahram looked at the others, and Mark nodded immediately.
“I think it’s okay.”
After thinking for a moment, Oscar said slowly:
“It’s okay, since we have to fight, there is no second choice. ”
"Then let's deploy it accordingly."
Soon, the prepared Imperial fleets in the system began to move. At this time, Tyranid's tentacles were almost approaching Westeros IV, and the two Imperial squadrons Waiting three million kilometers away from the planet, on the back side of the planet, hiding themselves out of sight of Tyran's tentacles. Although their presence is difficult to escape Tyran's sensing organs, for his greedy devourers It is said that the most important thing is the fat that reaches your mouth.
The central fleet led by Bahram accelerated towards the Tyranid fleet. At this time, he was closer than ever to the Tyranid Hive Fleet. They were like huge waves sweeping across the galaxy, almost obscuring them. The light of distant stars and the variety of biological ships are so numerous that they can almost shake the strongest faith.
It seemed as if in front of his eyes, a giant jaw was slowly opening, trying to swallow him in.
The appearance of the Tyranid biological ships was almost not consistent, and some had a shape on the front. Huge blades, or armored beaks, some with long tentacles, others with ramming horns as prows, or carrying oversized biological weapons hidden in huge, never-closing throats.
Although many biological ships are covered with the chitinous carapace common to most Tyranid creatures at the front, and the carapace is huge, other parts seem to have no other protection except skin, which seems to be a weak point in attacks, and the tail is also very long Surprisingly, Bahram did not know whether attacking the tail would reduce or even destroy their mobility. In addition, the carapace of these biological ships also had the iconic sulfur spots of the Cerberus Hive Fleet.
Bahram realized that there was actually a terrible consistency hidden in the Tyranids' diversity, and this consistency was their most powerful weapon.
"Report! The enemy ship has launched a landing!"
The picture came from the imager, and there was already a picture in the orbit of the blue planet Westeros IV. A group of bloodthirsty parasites, like ticks lying on their prey to suck blood, pierce their vicious mouthparts towards the planet. The most conspicuous among them are more than thirty giant biological warships, which are heading towards the upper atmosphere. Zone descended, tentacles poking out from below, ripples rippling down the sides of the bio-warship as they sprayed clouds of spores onto the planet's surface.
This is also the only thing that the Tyranid fleet is thankful for. At least they do not have the concept of "orbital bombing", let alone destructive weapons.
"The left and right wing fleets, attack."
After receiving the order, the two fleets attacked from the back of the planet, bypassed the planet, and fired fiercely at the Tyranid ship that was trying to drop more sporangia, and was caught off guard for a moment. The Tyranid biological ship suffered heavy casualties. Intense lasers and cannonballs tore through the Hive Battleship's vesicles, and excrement consisting of atomized bodily fluids rolled out.
In response, the biological battleship shifted awkwardly to one side, while using its spasmodic launch holes to eject a series of biological torpedoes, biological plasma, and unique high-temperature crystals. These counterattacks hit humans Ripples arose on the void shield of the ship.
The firepower of both sides spliced bright lines of blue and red against the backdrop of the galaxy.
With a series of torpedo strikes, the head of a huge Tyranid Kraken was blown into pieces, and a huge amount of liquid and organ fragments spurted from the front wound. Although the symbiotic weapon creatures were still firing, the bioship was dead, A large amount of gas was sprayed randomly from the tip of the thruster, and then it slowly broke away from the formation and fell towards the planet's ground. Due to the violent friction with the atmosphere, it turned into a huge fireball.
"Huh? Did you shoot down the enemy ship?"
The huge meteor fell towards the surface of the planet. Although the atmosphere ablated most of it, the remaining ones were still huge. When it hit the ground, even distant Texhar could feel the vibration of the earth.
Defending a city is not an easy task, even for space warriors, especially since this planet is still relatively backward and the cities are basically flat, but they are forced to accommodate more than ten times the original number. population.
This is Sancha City. As the name suggests, the city is built at the intersection of two rivers. This is a very traditional urban layout, which also causes its urban area to be cut into three parts by the river, but the advantage is that the river It seems that it can at least serve as a barrier. Originally, the city was the fifth largest city on the planet, with millions of residents, mainly small-scale industry, commerce and religious industries. It was surrounded by large areas of countryside, but now there are many people gathered in this city. With a population of tens of millions, it has become more crowded than ever before. All open areas, squares, parks, and churches are occupied, and even if it is not enough, many people are forced to use simple rafts on the relatively gentle river. as temporary shelter and set up tents.
Accustomed to the towering and huge hives of the empire, Texhar felt very uncomfortable with this kind of primitive settlement, but now he had to defend this place, otherwise it would become the Tyranids' granary.
The troops stationed in Trifork City include 450,000 auxiliary troops and 3 companies, the 7th and 9th companies of the Astral Knights, and the 3rd company of the Flesh Tearers. Each of the three companies is responsible for a city area, and There are millions of living beings among them. If it was in the past, this would not be a heavy task, but facing the Tyranids.
In order to make up for the lack of military strength, many young and middle-aged people were ordered to enlist in the army, but it was said that they were enlisting in the army. In fact, it is to give them primitive weapons and tie them to the battlefield until they die - although the hive city is violent and dark, there is no shortage of the same good and bad weapons, and in these worlds ruled by the state religion, the force is appallingly weak. , let alone the most basic laser gun, all kinds of homemade live ammunition weapons commonly seen in the hive city are rare items.
So much so that many militiamen actually only have cold weapons, such as spears made of metal railings, or swords temporarily collected from various places, allowing these untrained people to fight hand-to-hand with Tyranid, Tyk Shardu thought he was crazy.
But there is no way. Someone has to fill in the battle line. Due to the expansion of the city, it has actually exceeded the scope of the original city wall. Now we can only use various torn down building debris and dug trenches to build several lines of defense. , these defense lines must at least have living people there to be effective. What's more terrible is that once humans gather in excess, chaos will inevitably breed. In order to maintain the stability within the city, some limited weapons must be supplied to guards and Patrollers, used to suppress various crimes and riots.
"This is only one ship, and I don't know how many there are on the track."
Withdrawing his gaze from the sky, Texhar cast his gaze into the distance. He was responsible for the left city area, which used to be mainly a commercial gathering place. , there are rivers on both sides, and only in front is an open plain dotted with woods, but those woods had all been burned two days ago to open up a shooting area.
