Chapter 380 Suicide Charge
As the data link on the drone was activated, the supercomputer on the Crescent began to calculate frantically.
After a short calculation, all drones were assigned tasks individually to prevent too many attacks from being concentrated together and causing unnecessary waste.
The drone swarm that was originally gathered together instantly split into tens of thousands of small groups and rushed towards their respective targets.
Seeing the surrounding "dark clouds", the warships of the Davis Expansion Committee began to fire frantically.
However, the attack beams that became very thin in order to concentrate energy caused very limited damage to the drone swarms that were like locusts.
Coupled with the flexible maneuverability of the drones, a round of attacks by tens of thousands of Expansion Committee warships only killed less than a thousand drones.
At this time, the Expansion Committee had lost the initiative, and the drone swarm was very close to their fleet!
"Target those warships that released drones. As long as we kill these motherships, those hateful "bugs" will naturally lose command!" An officer in the bridge of the flagship of the Expansion Committee fleet ordered in a deep voice.
The Expansion Committee warships that decided to use the decapitation tactic began to accelerate continuously and rushed towards the drone mothership fleet hiding outside the battlefield.
"Attack immediately!" Li Mingze, who saw the intention of the Expansion Committee warship, ordered decisively.
Countless drones accelerated suddenly, but unexpectedly, they did not use machine guns or missiles to attack as everyone in the Expansion Committee thought, but instead crashed into their warships fearlessly.
"It's ridiculous, you think you can break our shield by crashing." The commander of the Expansion Committee fleet had not finished speaking when the first drone suddenly exploded after hitting the shield of the Expansion Committee warship.
A small sun appeared in front of the commander of the Expansion Committee fleet. Only then did he realize that something was wrong. These were not drones at all, but nuclear torpedoes that could act autonomously!
In fact, these drones were also equipped with machine guns, but these machine guns only targeted enemy fighters and drones. Facing an enemy with strong defense like the Expansion Committee fleet, these drones had only one way to self-destruct.
Now he realized that something was wrong, but it was too late. The strategic mistake allowed most of the drones to enter their defense circle.
Waves of explosions began to appear in the Expansion Committee fleet. The suicide attacks with tens of millions of explosions per second covered the entire starry sky with dazzling light.
The entire starry sky was like bathing in a sea of light. Eva's fleet, which relied on optical sensors, had stopped attacking after losing its ability to search for the enemy, waiting for the light produced by the explosion to dissipate.
This super chain explosion lasted for nearly thirty seconds. In this half-minute, two billion drones all hit the shields of the Expansion Committee warships and turned into a streak of light.
The damage caused by the superposition of two billion nuclear torpedoes easily shattered the shields of tens of thousands of warships of the Expansion Committee.
Taking advantage of his illness to kill him, Eva, who was always paying attention to the battlefield situation, seized this favorable opportunity and decisively ordered her less than 70 million mechanical warships to rush towards the Expansion Committee fleet.
The Davis Security Council fleet also reacted in shock and rushed towards the Expansion Committee fleet behind Eva's mechanical fleet.
At this time, the four fleets of the Empire quietly withdrew to the vicinity of the drone hive fleet, on the grounds that defending the hive fleet could produce more drones and completely defeat the fleet of the Expansion Committee!
In fact, only Li Mingze knew that the nutrient solution carried in the drone mothership had been exhausted. Not only that, the dual-purpose reactors of the Empire that could self-destruct and provide energy had been completely consumed.
Although the drone mothership can be manufactured with the help of material transmission, the manufacturing speed is really a drop in the bucket for the number of drones that easily reach hundreds of millions.
"Your Majesty, our transport ships carrying nutrient solution and ordinary reactors are on the way." Tianyi came to Li Mingze and said softly.
"When they arrive, start supplying the drone mothership immediately!" Li Mingze nodded.
Now they just wait quietly for the battle to end and save their strength.
Half an hour later, a supply fleet consisting of tens of thousands of small transport ships arrived on the battlefield through the wormhole high-speed channel.
Seeing that the enemy had more reinforcements arriving, the commander of the Davis Expansion Committee was very anxious.
"Don't get entangled with these warships anymore, and do your best to kill those drone motherships!" The Expansion Committee saw that their warships were disappearing under the concentrated fire of Eva's warships and Davis Security Council warships, and hurriedly adjusted their strategy.
"Sir, the enemy is retreating, we can't catch up at all!" A soldier hesitated and said with a stiff upper lip.
"Then activate the main guns!" The commander of the Expansion Committee gritted his teeth and unlocked the main guns of all warships.
Because these main guns require too much energy, and can only shoot at a single target, they were not activated when fighting with Eva's fleet.
However, now in order to deal with enemies far beyond the range of the secondary guns, the main guns can only be activated.
With the unlocking of permissions, all the golden warships of the Expansion Committee began to spread out six flying wings, and six rays of light shot out from the tips of the wings, converging into a golden beam of light in the air and flying towards the distant Imperial Fleet.
"Evasion!" Li Mingze felt something was wrong when he saw these golden warships begin to transform. Fortunately, he noticed it early, and most of the imperial warships turned their bodies to avoid this fatal blow.
However, some drone motherships and supply ships that were carrying out supplies were not so lucky.
Thousands of golden beams of light instantly penetrated thousands of drone motherships.
All objects disappeared where the golden beams passed, and the warships were blown into pieces after a transparent hole was opened.
The new shields and energy-absorbing organizations that the empire was proud of did not play any blocking role in front of these golden beams, and were shattered in the blink of an eye.
However, when the fleet of the Expansion Committee fired the main guns, the secondary guns could no longer be used. Eva seized this opportunity and ordered the mechanical fleet to rush into the fleet of the Expansion Committee for a boarding battle.
One by one, the ship-grabbing landing pods were launched from both sides of Eva's mechanical warships to the warships of the Expansion Committee.
As these landing pods drilled into the warships of the committee, robots crawled out of the landing pods and crawled towards the bridge of the golden warship.
But Eva miscalculated! The golden battleships were the same as the Empire's man-ship integration plan. Each battleship had only one pilot, who was protected by thick metal. No matter how many robots you had, they were helpless.
