Arden knew the identity of the person in front of him very well. He was the supervisor of the Star Alliance. When the Lord of the Stars was away, he would be in charge of the entire Star Alliance.
What's more, he is still a disciple of that great being. Just this level of status is enough for the Phantom Clan to treat him with the highest etiquette.
"The frontline forces have returned to the vicinity of the Karen system. You must seize the time to evacuate the last batch of residents. I will let the drone army resist the attack of the swarm. You must evacuate all residents within five days. Walk."
Su Changqing said in a serious tone.
Now is the time to make a choice. The Covenant cannot continue to protect Karen Star. The number of Desolate Zerg is too large, and the drones cannot be supplemented. Just rely on those ordinary dark weapons. There is no way for a spirit person to fight against an entire insect realm.
Now only five level six insect swarms have forced them to this point, but these numbers of insects are just a drop in the bucket for the entire insect domain.
Therefore, for the safety of the people here, Karen Planet must be abandoned, and the residents inside will leave one after another under the leadership of the Phantom Legion. According to calculations, in five days, the drone cluster outside to resist the insect swarm may It will be defeated, and by then the planet Karen will also be swamped by the endless swarm of insects.
…
Outside the Karen galaxy, the Mokdor void turbulence area.
This is a very large uninhabited land between the Karen Galaxy and the Phantom Galaxy. Because of the void turbulence caused by the spiritual energy tide that appears all year round, there are no planets in this area, not even a small meteorite. No longer exists, because all the celestial bodies here have been crushed by the crazy void turbulence.
This area has naturally become a natural barrier for the Covenant to resist the Zerg. Even the Desolate Insects, which are as powerful as all the Star Beasts, cannot get through this area unscathed.
The drone cluster has been deployed here, and it only needs to hold on for five days before the residents of Karen and several planets in its system can safely evacuate.
This battle is extremely difficult. A hundred drone swarms fight against five level six insect swarms, which is equivalent to twenty drone swarms fighting one insect swarm on average. This ratio is quite disadvantageous for the drones.
Because the drone swarm here refers to a drone unit that can be controlled by a primary controller. Compared with the number of insect swarms, it is almost equivalent to five hundred clusters equal to a sixth-level insect swarm.
The current situation is that one hundred swarms are fighting five level six insect swarms, which shows how bad the situation is.
That is to say, there is the natural danger of the Mokdor Void Turbulence Zone here, and the two remaining God-killer-class drones are stationed at the rear. This makes this battle a certain possibility, and it will not be a face-to-face encounter. It was overwhelmed by the swarm of insects.
Of course, the possibility here only refers to the possibility of persisting for five days. As for winning with less and more defeats, you can really only see it in story books.
At this moment, on the edge of the Void Turbulence Zone, the Covenant's First Fleet, Second Fleet, and New Third Fleet were neatly arranged in formation. This is a powerful dark spirit formation that can deal with all the enemies in this area. The spaceship has a huge amplification effect.
At the same time, on the periphery of the fleet, a hundred drone clusters have been prepared. They are controlled by fifty-two controllers. Among these controllers, the strongest one is Li Zixuan. He is now the leader of the entire Star Alliance. The head of the Swarm Operations Department can control thirty-seven drone clusters at the same time with just one person. If there is a chance in the future, when the organization formally establishes the Swarm Legion, he is also the most likely to be promoted to the leader. candidate.
On the front line, at the Star Area Operations Headquarters, Su Changqing's figure appeared here quietly.
"watch dogs."
Everyone bowed to him, and the initial nervousness seemed to disappear with his appearance.
This person is currently one of the well-deserved core executives of the Star Alliance. Even on the surface, he is the one with the highest authority in the entire organization except the Lord of the Polar Stars.
His personal presence at the scene gave all the soldiers courage and confidence. He was like a shot in the arm, giving everyone hope to persevere.
"The city wall under your feet was forged by your compatriots and your comrades who spent thirty years of hard work. This is a solid barrier to stop the desert insects. Behind you are countless innocent lives. The hope for the continuation of each race and civilization is the firm belief that the Star Alliance pursues!"
"This universe is suffering. Zerg, Era, demons, and countless bloodthirsty star beasts are coveting this place. If we don't unite and resist to the end, then when the two universes are completely integrated, There will no longer be a place for us here!”
"So, we must hold this position! Guard our territory! Guard our home! The combined strength can create miracles, brothers and sisters! Let us light up the darkest void with the fire of faith! Victory will definitely belong to Us! Hope never dies, and the Star Alliance will last forever!"
"Hope never dies, and the Star Alliance will last forever!"
"Hope never dies, and the Star Alliance will last forever!"
"..."
Screams rang out, and everyone's fighting spirit reached an unprecedented height.
Su Changqing looked at the excited crowd and nodded secretly.
He had a calm expression on his face, giving the impression that he had everything under control.
But in fact, only he himself knows how hopeless he is now.
He can say this kind of morale-boosting words, but no matter how well he says it, it is useless because the strength gap between the two sides is so huge that it cannot be made up by pure morale. Yes.
Therefore, even though Su Changqing said that he would fight to the death to defend this line of defense, he knew very well that this was simply impossible.
If the insect swarm was really unable to resist it, then he would have no choice but to say sorry to the people of Karen.
He was willing to help the people of Karen Planet evacuate out of an overall strategic perspective. However, once the cost paid by the Covenant here was too high, he would have no choice but to give up here.
Fleets 1 to 3 of the Star Alliance are all here. These are the main fleet of the Star Alliance, which can also be said to be the foundation of the Star Alliance. It is absolutely impossible for Su Changqing to destroy them here.
These words are naturally not humane to outsiders. He will only issue an order to retreat when necessary, and he will take away as many people as he can.
According to the intelligence from the reconnaissance force, the insect swarm has entered the void turbulence area. However, due to the environmental limitations there, it is unknown where they have moved to. It is only estimated that it will not take more than two days at most. The group will arrive at where everyone is now.
This is the benefit of natural danger. The void turbulence area will even interfere with the coordinates of the wormhole positioning, making it impossible for the Zerg to directly open the wormhole and jump over, and can only spend a lot of time in the process of crossing the turbulence.
Everyone couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, hoping that those insects would come later, and it would be best if they were all trapped and died in the turbulent flow of the void.
They have all seen the horrors there. If the Covenant had not spent a lot of time to establish a stable transmission channel, it would not be so easy to support the front line of the Phantom Galaxy.
However, such good days did not last long. On the third Covenant Day, the desert insect swarm finally broke through the turbulence and reached the defense line area established by the Covenant.
"Swarm Operations Department, attack on all fronts!"
Su Changqing did not wait for the opponent to come to the door, but sent the swarm combat unit into the void turbulence in advance to intercept. A hundred drone clusters were fully dispatched, and two God-killer-level drone battleships followed behind. Launched a deadly sniper attack on the insect swarm that was breaking through here.
The battle lasted for two days and two nights. Not many people knew the details of the battle. By the time the Swarm Operations Department came back, only the last five drone clusters were left, and there was even a God-killing one. The person was left there.
Only less than 20 of the fifty-plus controllers in the Swarm Operations Department died. Relatively speaking, their death rate is relatively low. After all, this profession is just like the Summoner. Basically, you don’t need to do it yourself. If you go to the front line to fight, you just need to hide behind and control the drone to fight.
"Your Excellency, Supervisor, I'm sorry, we have tried our best..."
Li Zixuan was seriously injured, and the other dozen or so people were not much better. They were under a huge mental load, especially in terms of mental strength. If they encountered some bugs that were good at mental attacks, it would very likely cause a direct mental collapse.
After he said that, he passed out. Su Changqing stepped forward and used his healing power to stabilize his injuries. Then he looked carefully and said:
"He suffered mostly mental trauma. I think the same is true for other people. Xiao Shun, please contact Lord Lingxing and ask her to help with treatment. Only she can cure this kind of injury."
Su Changqing assigned these people to Xiao Shun, who then contacted Pei Lingsu for treatment. Xiao Shun was the director of the Star Alliance Medical Department and was responsible for all medical-related matters.
"Attention everyone, the target is about to enter the warning area, all warships switch to firing mode and prepare to attack! The evacuation of Karen Star West has entered the final stage, we only need to hold on for one more day! Don't let down the swarm operation The opportunities created by our colleagues in the Ministry!”
At this moment, all the fleets of the Covenant Alliance entered combat mode, and the large formation surrounding the edge began to speed up, forming a small spiritual energy tide in this area.
The strength of the Star Alliance fleet is very strong. Even if it is placed in the entire Dark Star Alliance, it is still among the top batch. This is all due to Yang Yangyang and Ji Xiaoqi's constant trade and trade with Ji Xiaoqi over the past few decades. The various families in the Dark Star Alliance maintain a cooperative relationship and collect various resources to enhance their own strength.
With the support of advanced equipment, the combat power of the Star Alliance fleet is no longer the same as when it was first formed. The only disadvantage is that the number is too small. If it can form an effective group combat power like the ancient families, Then there is no need to give up the Karen star front for a few level six insect swarms.
"The swarm has appeared! Fire!"
Finally, with the commander's order, all the warships opened fire at this moment. Before the worms had time to react to what happened, the vanguard force at the forefront suffered a devastating blow.
Driven by the dark spirit engine, all the attacks of the ship are real dark spirit damage. This form of damage is the weakest resistance of the Zerg. It has an unfavorable adaptive evolution when dealing with physical attacks. In this It won't have much effect at all under the attack of dark spirits.
Only the spiritual carapace evolved by mid-to-high-level Zerg species by consuming a large amount of essence in their bodies can protect against such damage.
"Very good! That's it! Keep it this way! We have sufficient supplies! Don't worry! Everyone, give me a hard beating!!"
Seeing that the insect swarm was suppressed, the soldiers showed joy, and the commanders were constantly boosting their morale while quickly arranging the supply of subsequent energy output.
Facts have proved that the Covenant's firepower is very powerful, and any existence that underestimates this will not end up well.
"Be careful! A new enemy is coming!"
The Zerg quickly responded, and several huge beetles comparable in size to stars appeared, blocking the front of the Zerg swarm.
These bugs are responsible for the defense of the bug swarm, and are called black-scale armored guards. They usually exist as guards for the bug mother, but now they actively stand up to absorb damage.
These three black scale armored guards are already in high-level forms, and are more than one level stronger than the armored guards seen in the small insect swarms.
The attacks of the Covenant fleet fell on the three black scale armored guards and were all blocked. Although the three bugs were shaken, they did not fall so easily for a while.
That is to say, seizing such a short opportunity, the insect swarm immediately launched a counterattack.
The space was distorted, and thousands of strange figures flashed away. When they reappeared, they were already inside the Covenant line.
"Be careful! It's the Void Ripper!"
"Boom boom boom!!"
In the blink of an eye, bursts of sparks erupted from hundreds of warships. Their defensive shields did not play a big role, because the Void Ripper directly tore apart the space to attack, and its destructive power was astonishing.
"Not good! They are attacking our formation!"
Someone saw the intentions of these bugs. The spacecraft they destroyed just now were all key nodes of the combined formation. Damage appeared at these locations, and the large formation deployed by the Covenant immediately began to waver.
The negative effects brought about by the shaking of the formation are not just as simple as the weakening of attack and defense. The most worrying aspect is the stability. You must know that after the Zerg forms a certain scale, there will be an Insect Territory, and this is in front of you. If the insect domain brought by several level six insect swarms is not protected by corresponding formations, then these warships will become a pile of scrap metal in a short time.
