Chapter 577: Battle of the Emperor Worm 251!_2

General Thomas frowned slightly, "Inform all armed forces near White Ghost to support White Ghost in time!"

"Yes, General!"

"General, why not call White Ghost over here for support? Can’t he restrain the Insect Swarm? Even if it could affect the insects, it would be good."

"You can’t ask a hero who has defended the citizens of the Empire to do what he’s already incapable of."

Admiral Thomas said indifferently,

"He has shifted battlegrounds three times in a row, attacking the Mother Worm alone each time; exhaustion is expected. He has already averted a great loss for the Empire.

"The next enemies are ours, they belong to the Empire."

In Admiral Thomas’s command perspective, a thin black line appeared in the starry sky ahead.

Space was inherently vacant, cold, and dark, but that black line was so abrupt.

"General! The target Insect Swarm has completed the jump!"

"The enemy is accelerating, expected to enter our maximum attack range in twelve minutes!"

"The Insect Swarm is starting to spread out! They’re enveloping the Mother Worm! The estimated number of the Insect Swarm... thirty-nine billion! According to the biological energy feedback, the vast majority are Sixth-Rank adult insects!"

General Thomas kept pondering.

Generally, some mutant individuals would appear in an Insect Swarm, as well as individuals of a higher rank.

But a Sixth-Rank mass was the ultimate form of the Three-dimensional World (including the time dimension as the four-dimensional world) Space Worm Clan, no Seventh-Rank adult insect could exist in this dimension.

How difficult was it to deal with a Sixth-Rank adult insect?

A normal Sixth-Rank Basic Insect, between six to twelve meters in length, had a relatively simple body structure, with half its weight composed of a hard shell.

Sixth-Rank Basic adult insects could fire biological energy Light Bullets from their tails and mouthparts, powerful enough to easily destroy small patrol ships; they could also link up with each other to produce even stronger Light Bullets, and the energy carried by these Light Bullets was directly proportionate to the number of combined insects.

Not only were their long-range attacks astounding, ordinary Sixth-Rank adult insects could also activate Energy Shields to protect themselves.

Their blade limbs could easily tear through the outer armor of battleships, and the corrosive liquid sprayed from their mouthparts could melt the alloy of ordinary ships.

And those, based on the ordinary adult insects, had mutated to produce various special insects... fre(e)webnove.l.c.om

"The Mother Worm is slowing down!"

The cry from the signalman halted General Thomas’s thoughts, focusing him on the screen before him.

The giant Mother Worm started slowing down, maintaining relative stillness with the Human Fleet, but the majority of the Insect Swarm did not stop their advance and instead continued to accelerate.

The original thousands of huge Insect Race Battleships had quickly restructured.

Sixty percent of the Insect Swarm spread out in space.

Their vast numbers, just like this powerful Human Fleet, were still minute against the backdrop of space.

Dispersed attacks on the Human Fleet were a common tactic of high-rank Insect Swarms, effectively reducing losses during their charge.

Within the charging Insect Swarm, a large group of Sixth-Rank adult insects contracted once more, forming twelve gigantic battleships and protecting twelve Fake Mother Insects at the very center of the battleships.

The logic of this war was simple.

If more than half of the insects broke through to the ship formation, the Human Fleet would lose any chance of victory.

Their task was to annihilate the Insect Swarm in front of them!

"Signal all ships." Correct content is on freew.ebnovel.c om.

General Thomas’s voice appeared at every point along the defensive line:

"The Insect Swarm has begun a dispersed charge toward us.

"Dreadnought combat groups, lock onto the airspace of the Fake Mother Insects, take them out within three charging cycles.

"Battleships, activate full auxiliary cannon mode, cover with secondary fire, and conserve main cannon energy.

"Star Patrol Ships, activate full cannon mode, gunships fill in firepower gaps as indicated by the command system.

"Shield Ships, advance."

"Repeat, Shield Ships, advance."

Within the Human Fleet, more than two hundred umbrella-shaped large ships slowly moved forward, extending thick photon membranes in front of the fleet.

The Insect Swarm surged ahead, their movement distorting the gravitational field, causing the hulls of the human ships to hum with vibration.

The soldiers silently carried out commands.

Officers watched various displays with tension.

The General gazed into distant space, watching the Mother Worm.

Beyond the range of the ships, it squeezed out orange-yellow spheres from its tail, spreading a dazzling curtain of light across space.

...

Goosebumps.

When Yang Ming saw this scene through the holographic display, he no longer knew how to express the shock at the bottom of his heart.

Glancing once more outside the Mecha control room at the lower-rank insects in disarray, he couldn’t help thinking these Fourth-Rank insects...

were somewhat cute.

Weren’t the Sixth-Rank Insect Swarm excessively strong?

Within the holographic projection, four ion beams, each hundreds of meters in diameter, suddenly flashed; the Insect Swarm was torn open by four long slits, and four Insect Race Battleships wrapped around the Fake Mother Insects were instantly crushed, triggering a chain of ’Vacuum Nuclear Explosions’ along their path.

Yang Ming clearly saw that the powerful barrier formed by the Sixth-Rank Insect Swarm allowed those four Fake Mother Insects to survive for over a dozen seconds under the fire of the Dreadnoughts.

Still, the Insect Swarm continued to charge.

The remaining eight Fake Mother Insects showed no reaction, the Insect Swarm distributing evenly, seemingly engulfing the Human Fleet.

Insect Race barrage approached, the Shield Ships’ Energy Shields unfaltering.

The fleet formation’s perimeter had several dozen ships with vulnerable protective shields, and over ten small battleships were directly breached, becoming the first casualties of the Insect Race’s attack.

More than three hundred battleships began firing with their secondary cannons!

Thousands of Star Patrol Ships became the main force of long-range combat.

Various gunships served as fire support, filling in every gap with firepower.
