Chapter 365 Hiss~ Could that Tyranid siren be the guide?
yah~
A series of bioelectric entanglements.
The hive mind finally recovered from its sluggishness, and its thinking became active again.
The current situation is rather bad, but there is still a chance to save it.
There is not only one pilot creature in the Leviathan Hive Fleet, there are also five other narwhal ships located in other locations.
If any of these pilot creatures successfully activates the space compression navigation channel, it and the hive mothership can use it to leave this dangerous area.
The will of the hive has decided to go to other star regions, hide at the edge of the stars to restore the swarm, and stay away from the savior!
In the void.
Several narwhal worm ships followed the bioelectric instructions.
These Tyranid bio-ships swam quickly in space like whales, flying towards the area of the hive mothership from different directions.
The entire Leviathan Hive Fleet is cooperating with the actions of the pilot creature.
Protecting their safety at almost any cost.
hiss~
Those living biological ships used their own flesh and blood to build a new line to resist the invading artillery fire, and biological ships were dying every moment.
Over time.
The narwhal insect ships are getting closer and closer to the hive mothership.
……
The bridge of the Dream.
There is a tense atmosphere here.
The huge projected star map in the air marked the location of the narwhal worm ship.
Today, the entire Redemption Fleet is executing the blocking plan proposed by the Lord Savior, with the goal of completely destroying the Narwhal Zerg ships in order to cut off the retreat of the Leviathan Hive Fleet.
Prevent Leviathan from escaping from the Baal system and leaving behind trouble.
The person in charge of these plans was the commander of the Third Redemption Fleet, Voladi, who arrived at the Dream and temporarily took over the entire Redemption Fleet.
"First Fleet Eighth Battle Group, advance 500 kilometers to the right wing!"
Voladi kept his eyes fixed on the star map and continued to issue orders, trying to break through the Terran defenses with battle groups from other fleets.
Give the Third Fleet the opportunity to attack the Narwhal ships.
At this moment, Voladi was a little nervous.
These days, the Third Fleet of Redemption has been marking and studying the Horned Bug Ships, looking for opportunities to destroy them.
For this plan, the Redemption Fleet suffered additional casualties.
If he fails to successfully destroy all the Narwhal warships, causing the Leviathan hive mothership to escape, he will probably have to apologize to the Lord Savior.
Of course, what made him even more nervous were those gazes.
Behind Voladi, the Lord Savior and more than a dozen captains were standing, watching this annihilation battle against the Tyranid pilot creatures.
The gazes of everyone, especially the Savior, made the commander of the Redemption Third Fleet sweat profusely.
However, this did not affect Voladi's command.
Under his tactical arrangement, the Redemption Fleet predicted the enemy's actions and continuously attacked and cut off Leviathan's biological fleet.
This ultimately created a gap in the defense.
The Redemption Third Fleet successfully took advantage of this opportunity and destroyed another narwhal ship.
This eased the atmosphere inside the ship slightly.
That meant that Voladi's tactics were successful, and he was able to break through the defenses and kill the Tyranid pilot creatures time and time again.
"We must not let that guy get away..." Ron thought silently as he looked at the star map.
The Leviathan Hive Mind has a very strong learning ability and is a bit vindictive.
If we let it escape this time, the Savior Territory will face an even more terrifying insect swarm in the future.
Moreover, in his mind, the Leviathan Hive Mothership was the most lucrative trophy of this battle, and many future plans would require the Hive Mothership.
It is not just an alien enemy, but also a source of large amounts of meat protein and the future of territory biotechnology.
It’s simply full of treasures!
If you let it run away, you will suffer a huge loss.
Perhaps in the eyes of the Empire, being able to repel the Leviathan with relatively few casualties was already an unprecedented victory, worthy of building a huge memorial plaza and holding a triumphal celebration lasting a standard Terran month.
But in Ron's opinion, in a large-scale battle, if you can't get rich quickly and gain huge profits, you can't make a fortune.
That's pure blood loss.
not to mention.
He signed contracts with the business representatives for the Tyranids' cooperative development projects.
What if Taillon ran away? That would be so embarrassing...
Fortunately, everything is going smoothly.
If nothing unexpected happens, we can catch Leviathan and bring him back in the next few days to give him a good beating!
As the war continued, one narwhal ship after another was destroyed.
But the atmosphere on the bridge became tense again.
Because the remaining narwhal warships were getting closer and closer to the hive mothership, Leviathan's biological fleet had adjusted its strategy and its defense was tighter.
It is difficult to use the Nova main gun to launch a sneak attack as in the beginning.
If the Narwhal Ship is allowed to successfully return to the Hive Mothership, the Redemption Fleet will completely lose the opportunity to attack!
In the void.
The Redemption Fleet and the Leviathan Hive Fleet were constantly maneuvering, with mechanical artillery fire and biological weapons filling all the space.
Warships of both sides continued to fall.
If you look down at the stars, you can find that the fleets of both sides have been divided into dozens of groups, which are constantly moving and entangled, constantly bursting out dazzling light in the void.
These battlefields surrounded the narwhal warships in a spherical shape and moved with them.
After all, this is a war in space. The battlefield is three-dimensional, and all areas available for attack are up, down, left, right, front and back.
Any negligence in any direction or angle may lead to a fatal attack.
The Leviathan Hive Fleet defends every space node and protects the Narwhal ships at all costs, even if all the biological ships die.
The Redemption Fleet was desperately trying to break through Tyranid's defense line and attack Tyranid's pilot creature.
This war has reached a critical juncture, and any mistake will lead to failure!
Both sides are racing against time, but with different goals.
Leviathan is making its last struggle, trying to leave this galaxy in order to get a chance to develop again.
The Redemption Fleet hopes to keep Leviathan and completely crush this group of Tyranid aliens, thus achieving the greatest victory since the Empire encountered the Tyranids!
boom--
Macro cannons, light spear rays, and torpedoes destroyed one living biological ship after another that was protecting the narwhal worm ship, and the silent roar of the worms spread in the area.
While the Tyranid Flesh Defense Line was being re-formed, a cruiser accelerated at full speed and rushed towards the target.
Inside the bridge of the cruiser.
The passionate music of the Savior resounded, not only here, but the entire ship was filled with the same music.
This was their last loyalty.
Just now, the commander announced this order to the ship, and then drove the ship at full speed towards the narwhal ship and died together with it.
Now, this ship and all its crew members have entered the countdown of their lives.
Some crew members were terrified, some knelt down and prayed quietly, and some continued to work, but there was no riot on the ship because of this order.
Instead, it seems exceptionally quiet.
This is war.
When they stepped onto the ship, they vowed to live and die with it.
In fact, when participating in this battle, these crew members were already prepared to sacrifice themselves and left behind suicide notes.
The hull was shaking violently.
A ship's technician held onto the metal wall and walked with difficulty to the porthole, looking out into space.
The hideous, huge flesh tentacles were waving, trying to capture the ship. Each of the tumorous spikes on the tentacles was larger than any engineering vehicle he had ever driven.
"God is above..."
The technician's eyes revealed a hint of fear and he couldn't help but exclaim.
This was the first time he had seen these alien monsters so close, and he couldn't imagine how terrifying it would be if they descended on his home.
Fortunately, they had the protection of the Savior, so none of this happened.
His eyes passed over the tentacles and saw a terrifying whale-like insect body in the distance.
That's the alien monster they have to deal with.
in view.
The alien monster became bigger and bigger, and its entirety could no longer be seen.
The technician saw the hideous eyeball of the alien monster, and the eyeball alone was several dozen meters in size.
more importantly.
He saw the fear in the alien monster's eyes.
"Hey, it turns out... these damn bug monsters can also be afraid!"
The technician couldn't help but sneer. He had always thought that these insect-like aliens were cold and emotionless beings.
But soon a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.
The technician knew that at this distance, the ship would collide with the alien monster in more than ten seconds.
I am about to face death.
He was dying, dying for loyalty.
His soul will return to the Garden of Eden described in the Book of Salvation and usher in eternal peace.
There are no demons, no aliens, no hunger and no war.
Their souls need not be disturbed.
The technician always thought that he was the most devout believer and would not have any fear of facing death.
Able to face chaos and aliens bravely, and give everything for the savior without hesitation.
But when death really came, he was still afraid. The technician held on to the handle on the wall even harder, but his body still couldn't help shaking.
He was ashamed of this and felt that he had failed to live up to his faith.
The technician closed his eyes and recited aloud the scriptures from the Holy Book of Salvation to ease the fear in his heart.
Suddenly, he thought of something and felt a little relieved.
The ship is about to destroy an extremely important target, and if successful, it will gain great merit and glory.
That is the glory that belongs to all.
Unlike the confused people of the empire.
The citizens of the Savior's Territory do not live in a muddle; they are allowed to know many things and clearly know what they are doing.
Sacrifice for what.
Instead of dying in confusion of fear and despair, without even knowing what caused your death.
This is also one of the reasons why the Savior's territory is particularly cohesive.
"God of savior, my name may be engraved on the memorial monument of the world of Ers Heaven. This is truly unprecedented..."
The technician thought so.
That is an unimaginable honor. Only the names of heroes can be left on the memorial monument that covers several kilometers and towers into the clouds, and be passed down forever.
He is a hero too.
As for generous pensions, family honor and the like, the technician didn't think about them.
He was alone and his family had long been destroyed in the alien invasion. It was the savior who gave him a new life.
He endured the headache caused by the Tyranid alien shadow and suddenly opened his eyes, wanting to witness the demise of the alien insect monster with his own eyes!
The ship approached the alien monster at high speed. The fear in the other's eyes was clearly visible. The sticky chitinous skin was so ugly.
"For the Savior..."
At the end of his life, there was no fear or regret in the technician's eyes.
There was a violent collision, the porthole shattered, and then a dazzling fire ignited, quickly occupying every space on the ship.
boom! ! !
The cruiser completed its sacred mission, and the sparks of the explosion engulfed the narwhal ship.
The Tyranid pilot creature made a sound like a whale, struggled continuously in the burning flames, and then died!
……
"Do not!!!"
Inside the core chamber of the void beast, the hive mind let out an unwilling hiss, and the worry and fear in its eyes grew stronger.
Another narwhal ship died under the attack of the human fleet.
This is undoubtedly a huge blow.
The Leviathan Hive Fleet has lost five Narwhal ships, with only one still alive and heading towards the Hive Mothership.
Now, all forces have been mobilized to protect the narwhal ship.
That was its only hope of getting out of here.
However, the Hive Mind did not have much confidence in this.
The savior's attack was too fierce, and perhaps he had other means hidden. The Tyranid pilot creature was in danger.
"Perhaps, I can seek reconciliation from the Savior?"
The ancient insect wisdom suddenly came up with such a ridiculous idea.
It knew that the savior was not as extreme in his hatred of alien races as other humans in the empire.
not to mention.
His fleet still retained a lot of strength, and if he attacked desperately, he could still cause great casualties to the Savior's army.
There may be an opportunity for negotiation, even if it comes at a cost.
For example, some of the Tyranid technology.
Even if the hope is a little slim, you have to try!
The biological instinct of the Leviathan Hive Fleet was aroused, and it wanted to survive and gain more evolution.
Moreover, word of the terrible threat posed by the Savior must also be spread.
Let the rest of the Tyranids know.
This ancient Zerg wisdom believes that he understands the Savior's hive will best, and only he can lead the Tyranid Vanguard tentacles to destroy the Savior.
Allowing the Great Devourer to enjoy the galaxy better.
So you have to survive!
In such a battlefield, it is not easy to contact the savior. The communication channel of the human fleet is protected by some kind of existence, making it difficult to transmit accurate information.
The Hive Mind dispatched several invisible bio-ships loaded with brain worms to fly towards the Savior's flagship.
Once these biological ships get a little closer to the ship, they can use the brain worm as a node to contact the savior and communicate with each other.
It was willing to evacuate and give some of Tyranid's biotechnology.
……
The bridge of the Dream.
In the star map projection in the air, the red dots representing the narwhal warships went out one after another, leaving only a glaring red dot.
Now, the area where the red dot is located is the core of the battlefield.
In the airspace near the narwhal worm ship, the fleets of Tyrone and the Savior were stacked up layer by layer, blocking out the sky and the sun. The warships in the inner layer could no longer see any starlight.
There were only the dark shadows of the battleships and the invisible barrier of artillery fire.
"Fortunately, I noticed the alien enemy's trick in advance..."
Voladi's tense nerves relaxed a little.
Not long ago, there were some changes in the formation of the Terran fleet, which seemed to be intercepting artillery fire and clearing some passages.
This is obviously abnormal behavior. It is very likely that the Tyranid fleet is trying to launch a sneak attack on our command flagship, the Dream.
He noticed all this in time.
Although that was just speculation, the radar did not detect any threat.
For safety reasons.
Voladi still tried his best to adjust the formation and mobilized artillery fire to intensively bombard the relevant areas.
However, the facts were as he expected.
The cunning Tyranid aliens sent several invisible biological ships to approach from different areas, trying to launch a sneak attack here!
Fortunately, he did not let down the savior and completely eliminated the potential threat.
The Hive Mind's attempt failed.
None of the invisible biological ships sent out could get close to the savior's flagship, and all were accurately destroyed.
“Why was this discovered?
Those invisible biological ships are almost impossible to detect!"
The pupils of the Hive Will's compound eyes shrank, with an incredible look: "Could it be that the Savior has predicted my actions?"
It fell into more anxiety.
Afterwards, the Hive Mind tried again.
It controlled a Tyranid siren to leave the battlefield and go to a safe airspace.
According to the memories it had acquired, it positioned the tentacles of the living biological ship in a non-threatening posture that humans could understand.
Then he controlled the other party to slowly approach the Savior's flagship.
Inside the Dream.
The ship's monitoring equipment discovered a strange Tyranid Kraken and projected the image.
The strange behavior of the Tyranid alien left everyone confused.
So weird...
The Tyranid siren had almost half of its body erected, its eyes clear, and it didn't look threatening at all.
Its tentacles entangled to form the shape of a human hand, which was then raised high, just like a human lowering his posture and trying to surrender.
He almost shouted, "Captain, don't shoot, I'm one of you."
Ron and the Chapter Master gathered together, watching the projection in the air, trying to analyze this phenomenon.
"That Tyranid is a little strange."
Dante said something repetitive and then stopped talking, as if he just wanted to prove that he was seriously participating in the analysis.
"Emperor, the Tyranid alien is showing a gesture of surrender. Does it mean that we should let it go?"
Tiberus Clawblade scratched his head lightly and gave an extremely absurd answer that subverted the image of Tyranid.
He himself was a little bit unconvinced.
After all, in the Empire's impression, the Tyranids are cold-blooded devouring machines, without any emotions or feelings of any living creature.
Currently, only scholars in the Savior Territory and Bale believe that the Tyranids have emotional behaviors similar to those of humans. These aliens can feel fear, hatred, and have the instinct to survive.
Simply put, their higher-level units are intelligent life forms.
This is also in line with the basic logic of biological evolution. Even some wild beasts have enough intelligence.
They know not to rush at humans who bring sprayers, they know the difference between being full at one meal and being full at every meal, and some of the best ones even know to choose egg yolk pie and a chicken burger one meal at a time.
What’s more, it is such a huge alien civilization.
Moreover, they are developing and evolving consciously, and can use different tactics according to different enemies and calculate the pros and cons. It is impossible for them not to have basic wisdom and desires.
Ron pinched his chin and frowned slightly, throwing away his conservative thinking and making a bold guess: "This is probably a mutated Tyranid alien with independent consciousness. Could it be the guide among the aliens?"
A guide temporarily out of control appears among the Tyranids, and there seems to be nothing wrong with him.
He also has a good devil brother.
This was a very imaginative conclusion, but he could not imagine what the real truth was.
Who could have thought that the enemy commander would come out to lead the way?
anyway.
That Tyranid alien is worth contacting and has great research value.
Under the command of the Savior, several warships slowly approached the special Tyranid Siren...
