StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 564 Eat Me Yamato Cannon

In the dead jungle where the torrential artillery fire of the Tyrannian Empire fleet intertwined with the biomass shells of the primitive zerg, countless dexterous and fast fighters shuttled among them in the shadow of the large battleship and the extremely ferocious small primitive zerg. A ship like the Valkyrie frigate is nothing but a flat boat in a stormy sea.

No human fleet in the Koprulu sector has ever reached such a scale, and there has never been a war like this in the history of the Tyranid humans.

And the supreme commander of the empire, General Edmund Duke, always looked down on the world, as if he had already won the battle.

The gunfire under the porthole of the bridge of the flagship Norad III swept across, sometimes huge space torpedoes and ATVX missiles flew by rapidly, and the dot matrix defense system on the sampan was using lasers to intercept all kinds of strange and Primal Zerg projectiles, spewing strong corrosive acid, fell on the energy shield and splashed in all directions.

The battlefield is littered with debris and body parts, and the rate at which life is lost is multiplied.

The Imperial Fleet, who is well versed in the theory of firepower superiority, always holds the upper hand. The Imperial engineers who designed new warships adopted many pioneering ideas in the Minotaur class, such as more laser cannon groups, for targeting flexible small raiding ships Secondary guns and increased missile launch pods.

Higher speed, stronger artillery, thicker armor, significantly increased hull volume and affordable cost make the Minotaur a new class of capital ships for the Tyrannian Empire.The newer Gorgon-class prototype, the Vulcan, is said to have firepower like divine punishment.

As for Augustegler's Pride-class battlecruisers, there are very few, only about eight, and they are battleships personally commanded by the emperor of the Tyrannian Empire. Some components cannot even be mass-produced, and can only be stamped and welded by engineers.In contrast, August's Pride firepower is stronger, and the more powerful plasma cannon is enough to instantly kill the Minotaur.

An unknown number of caliber shells were poured on the battlefield in just over 20 minutes and used in orbital bombing. This fleet was able to destroy the city in an instant.

This doesn't make Duke's heart rippling. He has seen more cruel scenes than this. When the war between the Protoss Empire and the swarm broke out with Aiur as the center, the boundless fleet and boundless war spanned many galaxy.

"Except for the Bennett, Thomas, Flash and Indomitable Will, which were unable to keep up with the fleet due to hull damage, the jump engines of all warships are ready." Scott said.

Such a picture popped up on the main screen of the Norad III. The jump technician in the cabin is making final preparations, while the other picture is the drone assembly platform in the armory.

"Confirm the jump coordinates for the last time, listen to my password and prepare to follow Norad III to jump." Duke ordered while looking at the mechanical watch in his hand.

Not only battlecruisers as capital ships, but also large frigates, destroyers, Viking fighters and Wraith fighters all have different types of jump engines. Although the distance is limited, it is enough to keep up with the short-distance jump of the fleet.

On the tactical main station simulated with three-dimensional images, the mighty army of the original Zerg is still arriving through the constantly opening wormholes, overwhelmingly rushing towards Duke's imperial fleet.

Slifan's swarm, the mother of the original swarm, is the most numerous of the original swarm, and it mainly wins by numbers.By contrast, Agdra's Ash Swarm is made up of massive flame-breathing fire-breathing worms, while Zulven's Swarm is made up of powerful ancient primordial zerg and their countless centuries of history. Composed of the most powerful offspring.

At this moment, the number of the Slivan bug swarm is close to [-] million, and from the calculation of the observation results of the huge original bug swarm trajectory, this is only a part of the original bug swarm.

However, these swarms are not enough to occupy the Bracken galaxy, and in the three-dimensional universe, they are just a point emitting heat in the dark, and they are pink krills gathered in the ocean.

On the screen, these shimmering red lights are attacking the Imperial Fleet densely.Even if the firepower of the imperial fleet has a clear advantage, in the eyes of the original Zerg, the opponent is still the defender.

This is not to say that primitive swarms, like their distant relatives, attack with no loss and no fear.The nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is also reflected in the original Zerg, the difference is that they only succumb to the strong.

Marshal Duke would not stand here stupidly waiting for the enemy to attack. He spent most of his life in the charge of the enemy when he was over half a century old. Even if he only had two landing craft in hand, he still had to adopt an offensive strategy.

Given the current distance of half a star system between the Imperial Fleet and Slivan, the mother of the swarm, the Yamato cannon has a certain chance of hitting Slifan, but what Duke wants is an accurate hit rate, but what he wants is to concentrate firepower on An instant one-hit kill.

So Duke's plan is crazy, just like in the past, he is going to jump on the enemy's face and slap him before walking away.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Duke decided to directly smash the entire fleet in the opponent's face.And if the leader is Jim Raynor, he may choose to abandon the Bracken galaxy and pretend to retreat, and then lay a lot of traps on the only way the original swarm must pass.

Still, Duke isn't some brainless brat who will do whatever it takes to get away when he's sure it's over.He just likes to firmly hold the initiative on the battlefield in his own hands.

"But what about the warships that are too late to keep up?" Lieutenant Colonel Scott asked.

Obviously, if the fleet jumps, the remaining ships will soon be exposed to the terrifying and ferocious fangs and claws of the primordial swarm.

Unless the hull is severely damaged or the warp engine compartment is just punctured, it is impossible for a capital ship to fail to keep up with the warp.This shows that the health status of the ships Scott just mentioned is already very bad.

"Once the original worm mother realizes that her life is threatened, it will shrink the group to protect itself, and our people can evacuate safely." Duke just looked at his watch.

Even if Scott didn't explain one by one, Duke could still count the number of crew members on the four battlecruisers.Although the hull is larger and there are more systems, the crew of the Minotaur-class battlecruiser is not necessarily larger than that of the Behemoth class. The superior artificial intelligence-assisted operating system can well make up for the shortage of manpower. Optimize unnecessary positions.

The load of the Minotaur-class battlecruiser is probably between 4000 and 6000, generally around 4000, including some marines.The sinking of a battleship will take many lives, and the quality of the crew of the First Fleet is the best, and it will take more than time and money to train them.

"If it doesn't go as you expected," Scott said hesitantly.

This is an easy-to-understand truth, and everything cannot develop as Duke expected.If Slifan didn't do what Duke expected, tens of thousands of people would be reimbursed just like that.

Edmund Duke was the most experienced admiral in the Imperial Navy, not even Horace Warfield, which is why Emperor Augustus Mengsk entrusted him with such a heavy responsibility.

Duke's upper and lower limits are very high. When he is strong, he can push back Tassadar. When he is frustrated, he can't even beat the pirates.Sometimes it is difficult for him to see the enemy's traps clearly, and it is even more messy to see people.

Using soldiers like gods does not need Duke at all.

"The empire will remember their sacrifices, and the emperor will shed tears for them." Duke's face was cold and expressionless. He was the kind of villain who would leave his subordinates behind and run away. He and Warfield were two extremes. .

"Get ready to jump, count down to command 10." Duke said.

"For the empire." Scott made a prayer gesture: "For the emperor."

The vortex flash of time and space was almost fleeting, and the moment when Norad III, the flagship of the Imperial Fleet, took off seemed to be stretched infinitely by time, but there was no ripple.

This was a signal that more than 6000 warships and fighter planes of various types, including battlecruisers, took off at the same time, and hundreds of thousands of imperial navy soldiers faithfully and without hesitation carried out the orders of the marshal.And it is a manifestation of the well-trained and high morale of the Imperial Navy. Generally speaking, such an order will probably cause mutiny.

This epic scene of such a large scale left the original Zerg at a loss, and it took them a few seconds to figure out what happened.Only super-primitive zerg with psionic powers are capable of jumping in deep space, and such primitive zerg are extremely rare in this group.

The imperial fleet jumped a distance of more than a dozen astronomical units in an instant, piercing the heart of the Slivan swarm like a giant sword holding the sky, and the battlecruiser that jumped out even smashed many of the original Zerg.

Immediately afterwards, the deadly orange single chain poured from the Imperial battleship, and thousands of missiles and space torpedoes were ejected, including the super-nuke capable of separating hundreds of tactical nukes.

The weapons that poured out immediately cleared a huge empty space in the center of the original swarm, and the battlefield was reversed. The concentrated imperial fleet lined up one by one, forming a firepower network facing all directions.

This is Duke's attack, that is, simple and clear fleet riding face.

Edmund Duke is good at taking advantage of what he has in his hands, not hiding it.

This devastating firepower blow immediately exploded in the center of the primitive zerg, and even aroused the fear of some primitive zerg, causing them to flee in all directions.Judging from the wisdom of the original Zerg still staying in tribal competition, this is really incomprehensible.

Humans may be one of the strangest races that the original Zergs have ever encountered. They can be very united, and sometimes even sacrifice a lot of people to rescue the old, the weak, and the sick, but they are sometimes brutal, killing countless people casually compatriots,
Marshal Duke's flagship Norad III is at the forefront of the fleet, surrounded by countless primitive zerg.Those ferocious primitive Zergs have the characteristics of dinosaurs and insects at the same time. Some are gorgeous like plankton shining with silver light, while others are Komodo Tyrannosaurus with bloody mouths. The only common feature is that they are all dangerous And brutal.

And Lieutenant Colonel Scott once saw a similar picture in the Marine Ecological Museum in Auguste Grad. Outside the huge glass curtain wall, all kinds of strange aquatic creatures were lying on the glass with their teeth grinning, trying their best to Stretch out your tongue with all your strength to reach the human inside.

They are so passionate, so passionate that they want to integrate humans with themselves.

A primitive flying snake patriarch as long as the Norad III tried to stick its long tongue tube to the shield of the battleship and pull it towards itself. Surprisingly, it almost succeeded, But other small primitive flying snakes trying to emulate just slammed into it.

Norad III's energy shield only lasted for more than a dozen seconds before it began to fail. A slight shaking indicated her situation.

But Duke still had time to order a glass of Tarsonis brandy.He is so confident that he is convinced that he will win.

Matt Horner is cautious, and Duke is just a prodigal son on the battlefield.On the gambling table, if Duke had a table of chips, he would definitely bet on them all.

The huge primordial Zerg leader Slivan was right in the center of the porthole of the bridge. It was indeed a super monster the size of the moon, a broccoli root with a ferocious mouth.

Now, this monster with a bloody mouth is screaming out of fear. That is not a sound, but a spiritual scream that can reach the soul. Just this kind of attack made hundreds of crew members on the Norad III fainted.

Even so, the translated language is poetic expletives.

Countless primordial zerg surrounded and protected their great mother, as if at the center of the vortex.

After devouring the brain worm, Slivan's wisdom also increased accordingly. It keenly hid out of the range of the human battlecruiser, using the heirs clinging to its world tree-like body as a barrier.

The main guns of more than 110 Tyrannian Empire battlecruisers aimed at Slifan, and the same light flashed from the huge muzzles.

"Fire," Duke said.

A compressed nuclear blast pierced the distance between Norad III and Slivan, the mother of the swarm, reducing all primordial zerg in its path.The Yamato guns of the Minotaur-class battlecruisers were three times more powerful than the original version, enough to penetrate the armor of the Alexander.

This was a salvo of Yamato cannons, more than 100 beams capable of destroying cities and compressing nuclear explosions bombarded the huge body of Slivan, the mother of the swarm, and the explosion caused instantly burned countless of Slifan's offspring.

Slifan is probably the first individual creature to be able to enjoy this kind of treatment. The previous record holder was the flagship of the Old Federation Fleet. She survived the sixth round of the Yamato cannon.

More than 100, enough to destroy the city of Tarsonis twice.

The roar seemed to be still echoing in Duke's ears, and these Yamato cannons were just opening the way for the fusion missiles behind.Each Battlecruiser carries a mass of Fusion Weapons, enough to wipe out multiple Hive Worlds of a Swarm.

During the continuous bombing, Slivan was immediately torn apart, its crown was torn apart, its body was almost split in two, and blood sprayed out like a mountain torrent.

But even so, Slivan was still alive, only weakened.

Suddenly, the primordial swarm no longer attacked the imperial fleet, but flew towards Slivan.The scene was eerie, like a colony of ants swarming into syrup.

"They didn't collapse," Scott said.

"But they didn't avenge their mothers either," Duke said.

The offspring of Slivan were hungry to devour their mother's flesh, and one of them would take her place.
