Chapter 277 Discovered the enemy’s ambush
At this time, in the interstellar dust belt, the Emperor Penguin was controlling his Euglena to carefully scout around.
Because this area is relatively special, there is a large amount of dust material inside that will interfere with the invisibility of the Euglena.
Although the invisibility ability of Euglena is powerful, it has a flaw, that is, it cannot have too many things nearby.
For example, if there are a lot of meteorites, buildings, etc. nearby, once they touch these things, the invisible eyeworms will be knocked out.
Therefore, after entering this dust area, the invisibility ability of the Euglena becomes ineffective.
Because this eyeworm of the emperor penguin is a third-stage eyeworm and is expensive, he also controls it carefully.
In addition, there was an accident before, which made him cherish this soldier even more.
Of course, he was mentally prepared for battle losses, but he thought that if he could avoid it, he would try to avoid it.
After all, it would be a pity if the Euglena that has evolved to this stage dies.
Because it is now the last step away from the complete form of Euglena.
At this time, he only needs to buy another evolution scroll, and then he can directly evolve to the highest stage of handworm.
So before this last step, he will definitely try his best to survive.
Originally, there were rewards for evolution scrolls on the Starry Sky Behemoth at the beginning, but later on, everyone changed the cooperation mode.
Although everyone produced a lot of evolution scrolls in that batch of missions, because they were common property, they were all sold at auction to make up for the war losses.
This also caused his plan of full-level evolution to fail.
After all, those evolution coupons were basically bought by rich people. With his financial strength, it is definitely unrealistic to compete with those rich people.
So now he can only put his hope on the epic mission.
In fact, as long as he wanted to, he could have all the members of the guild jointly fund the evolution of a one-eyed beast.
But in doing so, this one-eyed monster becomes everyone's.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with being everyone's favorite, but as a gamer, things for public use will never be as good as your own.
After all, you have to consider paying compensation after the death of public things, which is very troublesome.
In this way, considering the safety, the Emperor Penguin is not moving very fast.
Now that he has ensured that this area is completely safe, he will then plan to move to the next area.
About half an hour passed like this, and the Emperor Penguin finally detected the enemy's warship.
About 700,000 kilometers ahead of him, he spotted the signal from a battleship.
When he discovered this signal, he immediately became alert and then cautiously moved towards the target direction.
Then he used the surrounding meteorites as a cover, plus the Zerg's own signal perception shield, and began to slowly approach the battleship.
He was very vigilant as he approached.
As he approached, he would observe the surrounding situation from time to time. Not long after, a warship about a hundred meters long appeared in his field of vision.
At this time, this battleship naturally saw the Emperor Penguin.
To be precise, he shouldn't have seen an emperor penguin, but a meteorite floating towards him.
This is the skill mimicry of the Euglena. After getting close to the battleship, the Emperor Penguin used the two skills of Energy Devouring Copy and Mimicry to disguise itself as a meteorite in order to prevent being discovered.
In fact, under normal circumstances, he didn't need to get close to this battleship, but when he saw that the shape of this battleship was familiar, he felt that something was wrong.
So in order to make sure, he chose to get closer and take a look at the situation.
But when he approached this battleship, he was shocked, because this battleship was not the super-civilized battleship he thought. This battleship was actually a reconnaissance ship of the Taylor civilization.
"A battleship of Taylor civilization?" Emperor Penguin said with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Why did the battleships of Taylor civilization appear here? And judging from their posture, they seem to be preparing to ambush."
"After being beaten like this by us, are they still so brave?"
After understanding the situation, the Emperor Penguin immediately told the other players the information here.
When other players learned this information, they were also very surprised.
"What the hell? It's Taylor civilization for half the day?"
"Holy shit, I never thought it was them.
And after being defeated by us so many times, they still dare to attack. It can be seen that they are very brave. ”
"I have to admit that the people of Taylor Civilization are indeed brave enough.
In this case, brothers, we will not be polite to them, and go directly to teach them how to behave. ”
"Everyone, don't panic. Although Taylor civilization is not strong in terms of strength.
But they dared to ambush, so I'm thinking that they should be confident enough, so we have to take a long-term view on this matter. ”
At this moment, the player responsible for peripheral observation also received information.
"Brothers, I'm sorry, the fleet from the Taylor civilization is ready to set off. Judging from this posture, it should be for the rendezvous."
"Holy crap, why did we choose this time to join forces? We haven't finished investigating the situation there yet."
"Do you think this NPC has such good intentions and will take action after you get the information clear?
I estimate that after they join forces, they will most likely attack us immediately. ”
"Then what should we do next? Should we return to the insect nest to garrison or say..."
"Does this need to be said? It must be to strike first now. We are relatively close to their main force, so we must have arrived much earlier than them.
After arriving, catch them by surprise and try to cause them heavy losses before the second fleet arrives.
In this case, when the second fleet comes, it will be the Calabash Boys who save Grandpa, one by one. ”
At this moment, a slightly cautious player said: "But now we only see their reconnaissance ships. We don't know how many warships they brought over this wave."
"What if they have more warships?"
"This worry is completely unnecessary. Let me explain it to you. First of all, we have already cleared a batch of their warships in the area where the starry sky beasts are.
Immediately afterwards, Taylor No. 2 had a big battle with us, causing them to suffer a lot. After that, they took the initiative to attack us, and we took away another batch of fleets. ”
"With such a combination of punches, how many warships do you think they can defeat?
They are no better than our insect swarm. To develop troops, we only need the larvae to hatch in half a day and a day.
It doesn’t take much to say how long it takes to build one of their battleships, at least it’s measured in years”
"The fighting during this period of time is too much for even us, let alone them."
"It's not like you haven't seen the total number of warships on the Dyson sphere civilization before. You must know that they can build a Dyson sphere on the planet.
Their resource acquisition is so exaggerated that even such a civilized warship cannot even destroy a hundred thousand units with tens of thousands of units. ”
"And this Taylor, why do you think they are so wealthy? I'm thinking they are definitely not as wealthy as the Dyson sphere civilization.
So since they are not as wealthy as the Dyson Sphere civilization, how many warships do you think they have left after all our troubles?
If nothing else, they must have made a desperate move by sending troops this time, sending all the warships of civilization. ”
After hearing this player's analysis, many players also expressed their opinions.
"If what you said is true, we only need to clear out this wave of their troops, then we will win.
But if we choose to just carry it on if they are desperate, I feel we will suffer a big loss. ”
"Although we are powerful now and we are really going to fight this kind of battle where victory or defeat is determined by one battle, I think we still have to be cautious."
"How to be cautious? Now we only have two combat areas. The first combat area is the dust belt, and the second area is the defense zone we have deployed in the galaxy."
"If we fight a battle of this level in the dust belt, even if we are wiped out by the group, we can still purchase troops to fight in the galaxy to cooperate with our galaxy defense."
"This can be regarded as double insurance!"
"If we choose to fight in the galaxy, then if we lose, we really lose.
Therefore, no matter how we play, in a sense, it is our best choice at the moment. ”
"The changing environment of the cosmic dust belt is more conducive to the advance of our banelings. Coupled with the innate advantages of our insect swarm, we will have a much easier time fighting in this battle." "Even if we fail here, we can still With the last line of defense, they will definitely not be able to withstand two consecutive attacks.
At this time, they only have two choices. The first choice is to continue to fight hard and die, and the second choice is to withdraw. ”
"No matter how they choose, the only fate waiting for them is destruction, because even if the remaining defeated soldiers retreat, they will not be able to withstand our next attack."
"As for our losses, there is no need to worry at all.
Because don’t forget, the Taylor civilization has multiple ore galaxies. As long as their combat power is eliminated, then it is time for us to harvest. ”
"We have worked hard for so long, am I just for this moment?"
At this time, everyone couldn't help but nod in agreement when they heard this player's opinion.
Obviously, this player's tactics are undoubtedly the safest, and now the interstellar dust belt is consuming them to the maximum extent.
Then a wave of defensive battles will be fought in the local system, and the enemy will have no way out and will only be forced to fight.
At that point you have only two choices, either continue the charge or retreat.
If you continue to charge, the players will eat up all the waves of troops you charge at.
It doesn't matter if you want to go back, the players will immediately launch a full-scale attack on all your systems.
Players were not afraid of attrition during your heyday, not to mention that you were consumed so much, so in the current situation they can only be forced to fight.
So at this juncture, if they want to win, the only way is to fight to the end and fight to the death.
Otherwise, if they continue to squeeze out toothpaste like before, they will be consumed by the players sooner or later.
Based on the players’ previous understanding of this game, they know very well that the NPCs in this game are very witty.
Therefore, we will definitely adopt all-out war tactics instead of deliberately using toothpaste squeezing tactics to boost players' performance.
So with such expectations, the team of players set off towards the interstellar dust belt.
In this kind of total war, players do not need to know too much information. Whether it is the number of the opponent's warships or the formation of troops, it is not important to the players.
Because no matter whether you understand it or not, you still have to face it.
Now what the players are thinking about is how to consume the enemy's troops to the greatest extent after the battle.
At this time, I am concerned about the interstellar dust belt, the gathering point of Taylor Civilization and Eternal Night Civilization.
Inside a cruiser.
"Clay, are you looking at your father's photo again?"
At this time, the captain of the fighter team saw his team member Clay sitting on the Eagle not far away and staring at a photo in a daze.
After hearing the captain's words, the soldier named Clay hurriedly put the photos away.
Seeing his actions, the captain couldn't help but feel a little funny.
The next moment, the captain used the battleship's spray system to jump onto the wing of the Eagle fighter. Then he walked up to Clay and patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, your father's revenge will definitely be avenged!"
After listening to the captain's words, Clay nodded, his eyes full of determination.
This warrior is called Clay, and his father is the captain of a spaceship.
But unfortunately, his father's fleet was sent to the cockroach civilization not long ago to check the situation. As a result, that fleet was wiped out by the Zerg.
Clay was extremely sad after learning about his father's death.
From that moment on, he secretly swore in his heart that no matter what the price, he would destroy the Zerg to avenge his father.
This idea has been extremely firm from beginning to end, but now when the decisive battle is about to begin, he has no idea at this time.
As for the power of the Zerg, it only knew a little bit about the battle videos shown to them by their superiors.
But this little bit was enough for him to realize that these bugs were completely different from the bugs he imagined.
What they were shown above was the information about the decisive battle at Taylor 2.
In that battle, he saw millions of mechas being torn apart by swarms of insects that were several times smaller than them.
You must know that those are the mechas of the Taylor civilization. Because their civilization has been at war with the Taylor civilization before, they are very aware of the power of the mechas of the Taylor civilization.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the fighter plane he controlled.
The Flying Eagle, with a total length of 40 meters, is named after its overall white and black paint job because its shape resembles a hunting eagle.
This fighter is equipped with twenty energy turrets and five ion turrets.
An aircraft carrier can carry five such fighters at the same time.
As the most advanced fighter aircraft in civilization, it once won many wars for civilization.
Therefore, this fighter plane is indestructible in their eyes.
His powerful firepower coupled with his strong defense make him always perform impressively on the battlefield.
But at this moment, Clay knew very well that this battleship, which he thought was extremely powerful, might be as fragile as paper in front of the Zerg.
Because through the previous video data, he saw the extremely powerful Televan mecha being easily penetrated by the insect swarm.
They had fought against the mechas of the Taylor Civilization. In a one-on-one situation, their fighters were no match for the mechas of the Taylor Civilization.
Those mechas have super defensive capabilities and maneuverability, and their firepower is also very powerful.
Not only that, he also has super high-damage melee capabilities. Especially when both sides are out of ammunition and food, he can easily tear the fighter to pieces with his light blade.
However, such a powerful mecha was easily penetrated by the insect swarm.
They couldn't last even one round against the Zerg.
When fighting against such powerful mechas and bugs, they can only trade quantity for quantity. So what about their fighter planes?
This fact gave him a blow to the head and made him fully aware of the power of the enemy.
He is not the kind of new recruit who has just been recruited, he is an experienced veteran who has experienced several battles.
He knows the strength of his opponent, and he can also deduce the strength of the enemy through the intelligence of the opponent's battle.
So now that he knew all this, he was filled with worry.
But he knew that they had no way out now, and they understood the meaning of death.
The Zerg already know the coordinates of their own civilization and Taylor's civilization.
Therefore, if they choose to give in, what awaits them will be the same fate of being destroyed as the Taylor civilization.
For the sake of civilization and for his father, he must fight to the end.
At this time, the captain on the side seemed to see through his thoughts, "Boy, don't be too pessimistic. For this attack, both civilizations used all their strength."
“And this time we are making a surprise attack, so we don’t give them much time to react.
As long as we have an advantage in the opening, then the rest of the battle will be easy for us. ”
"I hope so." Clay replied after hearing what the captain said.
And just when he was about to say something more, he suddenly heard an alarm sound coming from the battleship.
The moment the alarm sounded, the captain on the side suddenly changed his expression.
"No!" As he said this, he immediately shouted at the surrounding soldiers: "Everyone immediately return to the fighter plane and prepare for battle!"
At this time, the soldiers who were still checking various data of the fighter plane immediately rushed to the cockpit as quickly as possible.
After hearing the order, Clay immediately started the fighter plane and entered the standby state.
"Bugs! The bugs are coming!"
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! We have been discovered!"
"All combat units be prepared. The Zerg army is rapidly approaching us and is expected to enter the crossfire range within three minutes!"
At the same time, the communication device also transmitted news of the enemy attack, and Clay, who heard all this, also started the engine of the fighter plane and waited for the moment when the order was issued.
