Chapter 84: Invasion of the Zergs
These small groups of scattered Zergs are not to be feared. After the Rutes discovered it, they immediately organized the local army to clear and trap them. But it made them feel worried.
Gilbert's figure appeared on the big screen in the meeting room, and behind him were several insect corpses. These insects were as small as a fingernail, but as tall as a hill, and they were brightly colored. Sharp jagged feet.
"The bodies of these Zergs are extremely hard, and they can walk directly in the universe. Ordinary lightsabers can't cut through their carapaces. There are only a few weak spots on the whole body of each kind of Zerg, which are relatively fragile. For example, this one is like a hill. Only the few inches between the eyebrows are easier to strike."
He patted the big worm beside him, motioned the camera to zoom out, then took out a light blade and stabbed at the opponent's carapace, the piercing sound disappeared instantly, Everyone endured the palpitations and looked at the screen. The camera had zoomed in again. On the carapace of this hill-like Zerg, there was only a faint white mark. Gilbert wiped it with his finger, and even the white mark are gone.
He zoomed out again, jumped high, jumped on the Zerg several times in a row, came to the top of the opponent's head, raised the light blade and stabbed it hard. But even so, this relatively fragile brow is still hard and highly corrosive. After the light blade was pulled out, it was slightly distorted.
Gilbert threw away the light blade and shrugged, "That's it."
Everyone in the conference room looked at him, and their expressions became heavy without exception.
As the leader of the Rutes, Gilbert's physical strength needless to say, is completely equivalent to the double-s physique of the empire. But their army is not all double-s-level strongmen, many of them are only A-level, and even some B-level logistics personnel, and human beings cannot be exposed in a vacuum for too long, they can only drive mechas to fight. It also means that once the Zerg entered the mecha, their soldiers would have no power to fight back.
Cheng Ji said: "We need some time to make preparations."
Gilbert smiled helplessly, "Then we can hope for success."
"What?" Cheng Ji was stunned, thinking carefully for a long time, before hearing He Yunchen next to him said coldly: "I'm waiting for the good news."
"Oh, is that so?" Gilbert greeted him, and then he waved his hand and said, "Sure enough, you know me best, so wait for the good news and see you later."
The screen went black all of a sudden, and then there were several battle videos with the Zerg. The overall strength is not top-notch, except for the hill-like Zerg that seems to be their leader, the other Zerg can be easily dealt with with mechas.
Looking at this message, although Gilbert's face did not appear on the screen, everyone couldn't help but think of his enthusiastic face, and secretly clenched their fists.
The Blue Star Empire borders on Rutes, and its teeth are cold. Once Rutes falls, the Zerg's next attack target will become the Blue Star Empire. The Zerg were like wild beasts driven by instinct, they only knew how to kill and devour, and they couldn't coexist with any race. Don't expect them to know how to back down, and there is no possibility of negotiation. Only fighting is their only choice.
Cheng Ji said in a deep voice: "The news of the Zerg race is temporarily blocked to the public. At the same time, we will start dispatching troops and supplies, and we will gather and set off in three days." But before they finished their preparations, a large number of Zerg races had already emerged in large numbers, launching an offensive to various planets. The number of Zergs was too large, and Root's army retreated steadily. Several marginal planets in Rute's territory were quickly occupied by Zergs. Gilbert couldn't be more enthusiastic, and sent three emergency messages to the Blue Star Empire for help.
Watching the battle video sent by the Rutes and seeing the dense Zerg figures overwhelming the sky, the faces of the heads of the Imperial Army's headquarters became more dignified than ever. Last time they only felt the powerful fighting power of a single Zerg, but this time, they understood that compared to their fighting power, the most terrifying thing about the Zerg was in their numbers.
Two fists are no match for four hands. A warrior manipulating a mecha may be able to kill five or ten Zerg, but what if there are a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand? No matter how strong he is, he will still feel tired, and once tired, he will be rushed up and devoured by the eager Zerg.
This is a more terrifying existence than enemies from alien planets.
Cheng Ji, the emperor of the Blue Star Empire, said in a deep voice, "Which army is the closest to the Rutes people?"
"It is the 13th and 14th Guards of the Fourth Army, and also the garrison of the 21st Planet."
"Send the order, let these three teams go to Rute star immediately for support."
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Everyone understood that what the emperor said was correct, although the battlefield was not within the territory of the Blue Star Empire, but Rute star. The domain is adjacent to the Blue Star Empire, and the two sides have always been allies and friendly forces. Whether it is public or private, the Blue Star Empire must send troops to rescue, otherwise the consequences will only be defeated one by one by the Zerg.
However, the total number of these three troops is less than 20,000, and they can only be regarded as the vanguard of reinforcements. They need to establish a line of defense on the front line to wait for the main force to arrive.
Cheng Ji moved his eyes to the marshals of the legions below, "How is the mobilization of the troops of each legion?"
"The first group has mobilized 700,000 people!"
"The second group has mobilized 650,000 people!"
"The third group has mobilized." ..."
The seven major groups have a total of 70 million soldiers, of which the elite 5 million troops have all been assembled, there are another 500,000 logistics troops, 200,000 special operations troops, and 20 million nutrient solutions, all ready to go hair.
"Marshal He of the First Group Army is fully responsible for this incident. All the armies immediately mobilized their forces, and..." Cheng Ji looked around the generals for a while, and finally fixed on He Yunchen, "Commanded by Major General He Special Forces, set off immediately, the rest of the troops will follow with supplies, and the rest will be under martial law, ready to reinforce at any time!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
When Ruan Tang learned of the news about the Zerg fight from star network, He Yunchen had already led the 200,000 soldiers of the Special Forces and left Capital Star.
Although Ruan Tang has never experienced war, he has watched a lot of war films. The impression left by war on him is blood and death. This made him start to worry about He Yunchen's safety, but he couldn't do anything except wait.
"Brother, why didn't Brother He come here?" Ruan Yu couldn't help but miss He Yunchen who would play with him for several days.
"Brother He has something to do. He went to another planet and will be back soon." Ruan Tang suppressed the worry in his heart and squeezed out a smile.
After the war with the Zerg began, the star network was full of news about the front line. This war is related to the future of the Blue Star Empire, and it is also related to the future of everyone. Cheng Ji will give speeches on the news from time to time, to build confidence in the public, and share the good news on the front line with the public.
But amidst the steady stream of good news, no one knows how much damage the government has been hiding.
The war on the front line quickly became fierce, and the number of Zergs was more than they imagined. Except for some Zergs that appeared in the vanguard, more new types of Zergs also appeared on the front line, each with powerful The natural ability and the corrosive ability of the hill-type Zerg caused serious damage to the mechs and battleships. Even with the support of more than five million imperial soldiers, they could barely resist.
The coalition forces of the Rutes and the Blue Star Empire are currently using the relatively complex terrain of Celt Planet as a temporary base, struggling to resist waves of Zerg attacks.
In this tense and dangerous battlefield, it is completely impossible for millions of soldiers to continue to eat natural food, so nutrient solutions to supplement nutrition and maintain physical strength are essential. Several resource stars in the Rute territory were severely damaged, and there were difficulties in the supply of nutrient solution. Therefore, more nutrient solution needed to be transported from the Blue Star Empire. At the same time, mechas, energy, weapons, and medical treatment needed to be replenished. Supplies and other military supplies.
Countless materials were continuously sent to the front line.
However, at this time, an unexpected accident happened. The Valens, the old enemies of the Blue Star Empire who had been fighting for thousands of years, actually tore up the peace treaty, took the opportunity to hijack the empire's transport ship, and killed all the soldiers on board. All supplies were looted.
Military supplies worth hundreds of millions of coins were robbed, which had a great impact on the war. Without the timely replenishment of mechs, energy, food, and weapons, the frontline soldiers fell into a crisis.
"What on earth do these Valenians want to do?!" When the news came back to the Blue Star Empire, Cheng Ji could no longer maintain the composure of an emperor, and almost flipped the table in the meeting room, "Are they want to died?"
Others are also puzzled by this. If it is an invasion of ordinary alien intelligent creatures, it will be fine. These Valenians may still have the possibility of forming an alliance with each other in exchange for benefits. But for the Zerg, there is no such thing as an alliance. All life forms in the entire universe are just food for them. They have no intelligence and no interests. All their behaviors are just to satisfy the instinct of eating .
No one expected that the Valens would recklessly attack the transport ships of the Blue Star Empire. If the Blue Star Empire and Rutes fell, they would also be swallowed by the Zerg.
"These Valenians are simply lunatics!"
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
"Immediately ask the various nutrient solution companies to speed up the production of new nutrient solution, and send another batch to Celt Star as quickly as possible, and start from No. The second and fourth armies dispatched 100,000 mecha fighters to accompany them for protection!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
The Blue Star Empire raised another 20 million nutrient solutions within three days and sent them to Celt star urgently, with 100,000 The mecha warriors accompanied him for protection, so they shouldn't be captured by the Valens again.
It's just that they underestimated the madness of the Valenians.
Those lunatics would rather use a suicide attack to blow up the transport ship and the nutrient solution in it, rather than let them deliver the things to the frontline soldiers. At the same time, on the empire's rear defense line, Valen also sent troops to harass and test, in an attempt to take advantage of the emptiness inside the empire to capture the empire.
In the front, there was a fierce attack by the Zerg, and in the back there were the Valens. Under the situation of flanking front and back, almost all the imperial army rushed to the two battlefields. However, due to the lack of supplies, the army's combat power could not be maintained, and the situation on the front line was very fast. It took a nosedive.
The continuous news of casualties coming back from the front line made all the top military officials of the Blue Star Empire very anxious. The general of the Third Army, Gao Meng, even wanted to personally lead troops to encircle and suppress the territory of the Valens, and make those greedy and selfish lunatics pay the price, but He Weiye stopped him.
"Do you need to experience the shameless tactics of those lunatics to shoot and change places again? You have the kung fu to fight guerrilla warfare with them. It is better to lead the troops to transport the supplies to Celt Star yourself. Split all the supplies, except the transport ship In addition, each mecha is also equipped with a thousand nutrient solutions, energy and weapons are all installed on the mecha, at least a part of it can be guaranteed to be delivered to our soldiers!" He Weiye said angrily.
"Understood..." Gao Meng also knew that what He Weiye said was reasonable, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart, and went to gather the troops of his group army, preparing to go out again.
Marshal He personally ordered that the nutrient solution to be transported to the front line this time should use the newly developed nutrient solution developed by the nutrient solution company to ensure that the soldiers can get the maximum supply.
After those nutrient solution companies took over the production and sales of beverages such as Coke and Sprite, according to the production methods of these beverages, they also added some fruit flavors to the nutrient solution on a whim, and this improved version of nutrition was born. Liquid, which is preparing to be promoted to the market, is now in stock in several warehouses and can be used immediately. On the other hand, Marshal He also hopes that the fructose contained in the improved nutrient solution can better help the soldiers absorb nutrients and replenish their physical strength.
The previous agreement to build a canteen in the military headquarters was originally out of welfare considerations, but what people didn't expect was that it also promoted the training of soldiers and the improvement of combat capabilities. In order to go to the cafeteria to taste delicious food earlier, the fighters trained very actively, striving to complete the training tasks as quickly as possible. Many fighters performed far better than before in the stage evaluation, and some even showed physical and mental health. Breakthroughs in power levels.
The Academy of Sciences later carried out related research based on this phenomenon, and concluded that eating itself will produce a kind of pleasure, and chewing can help relieve tension. Sugar triggers the release of chemicals in the brain that help balance, make it easier to fall asleep and reduce sensitivity to pain.
In the case of extreme shortage of supplies, hunger and exhaustion will amplify the mental pressure of the soldiers infinitely, so Marshal He believes that these improved nutrient solutions may be able to replace natural food, and make the soldiers fighting on the front line feel nervous Get relief and stay in good fighting shape.
When he was exhausted, Ruan Tang took the initiative to find him, expressing his hope to provide a portable natural food called "canned food".
