Him and their stars

"Be prepared for impact!" Nelhana ordered through wide-area communications to all the soldiers in the landing craft.

You know, when the space oscillation begins to dissipate, the next step will naturally be the abnormal high-speed flow of air, which will naturally produce strong winds. Although the Empire's armored landing craft, which can launch forceful airdrops outside the atmosphere, will not be blown away by strong winds, at least some turbulence will definitely occur.

However, Yu Lian stood up directly, walked to the landing craft terminal, climbed onto the observation deck, and looked directly at the distorted space light group in the distance with his naked eyes.

He tried to let his spiritual sense extend in that direction, but after just a little while, he already felt a mixture of shock and anger. The emotion was indeed too strong, so strong that Yu Lian could feel it from more than a hundred kilometers away.

This can only show that the opponent's mental power is very strong, but he cannot control it. It is more like the spiritual reaction of some kind of super large fantasy beast.

Leviathan? Yu Lian frowned slightly, then shook his head. Again, if they were really Leviathan, Charlie would have run away with them long ago. There is absolutely no reason to stay on this planet and get beaten.

So, it must be the Lord Insect.

Insect swarms have no emotions, they are just biological weapons. However, even if Charlie is in her full form in the future, it is impossible to control tens of billions of insect swarm units by herself. As a result, there were various middle-level commanders of the swarm, the so-called Lord Insects.

Lord bugs have different intelligences and knowledge, as well as their own personalities and emotions, and can even be said to have individual souls. However, it is difficult for them to be regarded as independent individual lives, but more like clones of the master. They have an unobstructed spiritual link with the master that can communicate even across light years. Of course, they also have absolute loyalty and obedience.

Of course, there are also individual and ability differences among Lord Insects. However, due to war security considerations, their individuals will not be too large. The largest Lord Insect that Yu Lian had ever seen in his previous life was the size of a mammoth. When mixed in with the thunder beasts, it was like a chicken standing in a group of cranes. If it shrank to the center of the group, it would be completely out of reach.

Of course, this is under the premise of excluding those Leviathans in space that can be used as battleships.

In short, although the commanders among these insect swarms are not big, their individual wills control countless insect swarm legions, so it is understandable that their sense of presence is too strong, and it is understandable that their emotions are a little intense.

...In other words, the swarm lords who were just born in this universe don't know how to cover up their own spirits.

In other words, Charlie had just given birth to the lord of the insect swarm. Her natural disaster has just begun.

Yu Lian quickly made this judgment, and immediately felt a little relieved, thinking that there should still be room for rescue.

At this time, the three rounds of fifteen space concussion bombs thrown by the two high-altitude support gunboats had all exploded in the rugged mountains and undulating hills.

If it were in a space battle, the vacuum burst caused by this bomb would be able to barely flatten a heavy cruiser weighing hundreds of thousands of tons. In fact, during the battle of the Far Shore Nebula, the guys from the Thirteenth Fleet threw hundreds of them at once in order to deal with those few space-bubble torpedoes and establish a space-shock isolation zone.

However, on the surface, the effects of such an attack are quite astonishing.

At this time, those space bubbles that caused people's visual dislocation have dissipated, and the rolling mountains in the distance have changed their appearance. The rugged mountains and wider hills are like being lifted from a higher place by a god with supreme power. It seems that it has been directly obliterated in the dimension, and has turned into a flat desert and sand dunes.

This is the largest sand sea in the Far Country Planet, and it has been extended for hundreds of kilometers to the west due to the power of man-made efforts.

However, Yu Lian knew that it could not be considered a real desert. Those sand dunes that suddenly appeared were formed by the grinding and crushing of mountains and rock walls by vacuum explosions. They were only a shallow layer. When the winds pick up, these deserts will be blown away, leaving only bare rocky ground and even underground rivers.

However, all the vegetation in the hilly area on that side has been torn into pieces by space. It is not known how long it will take to recover afterwards. What impact it will have on the ecological environment of the entire Far Country planet is beyond Yu Lian's imagination. Yes.

There is no way, this is life too!

At this time, the two high-altitude support gunboats suspended behind the clouds had stopped attacking. They probably felt that the attack just now had completely wiped out even hundreds of divisions on the ground, let alone a group of alien monsters. Some imperial officers even felt that Yu Lian might have overreacted.

With such an attack, they might not even have any cells left, so what's the point of collecting them?

Of course, it is more likely that there are no alien species here at all. His Royal Highness King Suliuka just listened to the slander of an Earthling and launched weapons of mass destruction on his own land.

But at this time, Colonel Nelhana Mehra also stood up from the cabin and entered the driver's cab directly. Ignoring the astonishment of the pilots, he frowned and looked into the distance.

At this moment, today's storm flashed out without warning, as if there were really gods here calling the wind and rain.

This is the effect when air naturally flows into the vacuum created by space oscillations.

More than twenty assault landing craft hovering in the sky began to sway violently, as if they were in the center of an earthquake. However, after all, these are weapons that have been honed over time by the Empire. They can be used for orbital airborne landings or for ramming enemy ships, and their performance can vary. They quickly stabilized themselves in the storm and still hovered in place.

Even the soldiers and equipment in the cabin were fixed early, and naturally no collisions occurred. Of course, Nelhana, who did not have any fixed facilities, was a psyker. Although there were no fixed measures, she still stepped on the floor as if there were roots in the soles of her feet, motionless.

...Well, her nearly three-meter-tall coat of arms weighs half a ton, so it should be difficult to topple.

"Coming," she said.

"Your Excellency?" The pilots looked at each other, and the captain asked one more question: "Are you..."

"Well, prepare for anti-air fire." Nelhana said.

The captain, who was more than twice the age of Miss Knight, did not ask any further questions, but ordered all the gunners on the landing craft to get into position immediately. At the same time, he did not forget to convey this order to all the airships.

Although there was no response from the radar on the airship, since it was an order from a psyker, it meant that some unscientific targets should have been discovered.

Sure enough, after a few seconds, some black spots vaguely appeared in the violent airflow. At first, everyone thought it was just an illusion. It was not until those black spots expanded, and turned from a few to hundreds, that the pilots' mortal eyes finally confirmed that they were really enemies.

With Nelhana's third-ring psychic vision, she had even identified the appearance of those black spots, which were the large "flying bats" that had appeared outside the city of Far Country before, and she couldn't help but marvel.

"Tsk, there are actually so many of them? None of the stone cockroaches in the countryside of Namoka have this kind of vitality! Where are they hiding?"

Yu Lian thought that this should be an insect nest passage buried underground. That kind of thing can hide under the rock wall to form a special shelter, and can also move quickly by chewing the underground rocks like a sandworm, and the movement is very small-at most, it is from a woodchuck to a big tree. otter. This thing has rough skin and thick flesh. As long as it shrinks into the ground, it can use the thick rock layer to resolve most of the blows from outside the surface.

To the swarm, this is a strategic delivery vehicle on the surface.

But even with this thing, those insect swarms also withstood quite violent blows, otherwise they would never have had such a small number of troops.

You know, the lord is not some cannon fodder. Even for Xia Li, it is not easy to produce a lord. And an insect swarm with a leader can be regarded as an independent combat group. Dragon worms used to compete for air supremacy all start at least in four figures.

"If there weren't those few concussive bombs just now, there would be more." Yu Lian said with a smile.

Miss Knight had to admit that what the other party said made sense. Anyway, I estimate that there are only one or two hundred "big bats" flying over from the opposite side. Judging from their flight speed and size, they pose little threat to our own side. But if one or two thousand head rush in, it will be a bit troublesome.

And at this moment, in the depths of the valley that had turned into sand dunes in the distance, the storm formed an air flow barrier and suddenly a thick green light beam appeared, like a bright but suppressed will-o'-the-wisp ignited from behind the mist. Flooded into the sky.

At that moment, it was as if the door to hell had opened, and demons and monsters were preparing to step on the green light and launch a surprise attack on heaven.

"...Ion cannon?" Miss Nelhana was really shocked this time.

In fact, Xia Li called those thorn mother insects and said they were insects, but in fact they were clearly a semi-fixed special air defense unit. It usually moves very slowly, even having to be carried by worker bees, but as long as it finds a place to pop its belly and butt, it can form a firepower platform that can be used both on the ground and on the ground. The energy core inside the worm capsule is very close to the biological battery and can be condensed into plasma energy cannons, which are very sharp against the air or the enemy.

...However, I am still stunned!

Yu Lian was now sure that the person hiding there must not be Xia Li, but a certain fledgling lord. If you are more experienced, you should know the moment you are bombed that you have been targeted by the empire's heavy military group. Your first reaction at this time should be to immediately dig into the ground and run away with a bucket.

However, instead of running away, this guy even fought back.

After being bombed, there were only five or six thorn insect mothers left and more than a hundred remaining dragon insects. How could they really pose a threat?

There is a price to pay for being young! Yu Lian thought.

Sure enough, the ion beams that penetrated into the clouds did not create a bigger explosion. Instead, they penetrated into the dark clouds and gradually disappeared. It is not known that they were dodged by the two gunboats. Still blocked by the shield.

Then, a few minutes later, there was another thunderous rumbling sound, which suddenly sounded like a divine punishment, falling from the sky from behind the distant clouds.

The Imperial Army is very professional. Although they were full of wonder at the vitality of the insect swarm, the movements in their hands that had been honed for thousands of times would naturally not stop.

This time, what landed like a meteor shower was dense hive missiles.

Moreover, they really listened to Yu Lian's opinion and used more advanced intelligent tracking bombs instead of heat source tracking bombs. If you have to deal with thousands of targets, so many missiles blasted out in this round are still quite painful. However, if there are only more than a hundred heads, it is completely acceptable.

The Imperial Army did not continue to use space shock bombs, probably because they were convinced that the insect swarm had been severely damaged and did not want to use weapons of mass destruction to decompose all the cells of the target.

Immediately afterwards, in the airspace in front of everyone's landing craft, orange-red heat sources continued to rise, directly forming a blazing wall of fire, covering almost all dragon insects in it.

When a few super brave dragon insects emerged from the fire, a large piece of their body was missing, and there was even a fire in the wound position, but they still moved forward bravely. That was a double concept in the literal sense. Burn! If it were another enemy, an imperial soldier who was full of martial virtue and pretentious, he might even salute them.

But since it is an unknown alien monster, the step of saluting can be omitted directly. The anti-aircraft gunners on the airship had already fired, directly interweaving the shells into a dense fire net.

Soon, these remaining dragon insects didn't even have time to spit out the explosive blade insects, and were torn to pieces by the fire net on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, there were two consecutive roars that suddenly exploded. The crimson light track was like a scar stabbing directly in the sky, whizzing straight towards the corner of the sand sea. It was the direction where the plasma cannonball had just been shot, and it was also the direction where the thorn insect mother was. .

Yu Lian estimated that the empire's radar had not yet detected the heat source of the Thorn Insect Mother, but at least it knew to cover the enemy's direction with fire.

Look, you are indeed young!

By this time, the continuous wall of fire formed by the missile explosion had dissipated, and twenty airships passed through the airspace here and crossed the mountain range that had been flattened by more than half. We have officially entered the hills... er, or the original hilly area that was turned into sand dunes by the concussion bomb.

Miss Nelhana glanced around. With her three-ring psyker's dynamic vision, she could already see the remains of the alien species that crashed into the earth without even using the addition of technological products.

They have almost been carbonized by the high temperature of the missile explosion, but something should still be extracted.

"D Company and G Company of the 507th Regiment are preparing to airborne, set up defenses on the spot, and start collecting debris." Nerhana instructed.

As a result, one of the airships stopped moving forward and began to land vertically towards the ground. It was probably afraid that too much movement would blow away the sand and the alien debris inside when it landed, so it didn't land very slowly.

"The rest of the company continues to move forward. In order to prevent other ambushes from the alien species, please stay alert and move forward with caution."

The so-called "caution" means not to drive too hard and keep moving forward at a constant speed. Although Miss Nelhana was young, she did not take it lightly because she was suppressing and beating these bugs. She always maintained a clear mind and rational judgment. This is a bit like the "Iron Wall Mela" of later generations.

but……

Yu Lian frowned and used his spiritual sense again. At this time, he could still feel the emotional fluctuation just now, but it was much calmer and was still weakening a little bit.

Going to run away?

Ha, this is the correct way to open the Swarm Lord.

Yu Lian curled his lips, got off the observation deck, and strode to the hatch. Under the horrified eyes of several Panzergrenadiers nearby, he opened the locked hatch with one hand and jumped out. hatch.
