Chapter 766 Massacre
The number of plasma balls flying on the ground continued to rise, and more and more plasma worms came from the interior of the mothership to the surface to participate in the air defense mission.
In less than ten minutes, the anti-aircraft firepower of the Zerg mothership increased to twice its original size.
When the Empire's landing fleet reached the orbit of the mothership, more than 20% of the landing ships had been wiped out by these plasma cannons!
Two billion Empire clone soldiers disappeared in space before they stepped on the ground of this planet.
At this time, the Empire's landing fleet had just entered the low-Earth orbit of this planet, and the landing had just begun!
The Zerg Queen, who had already reacted, sent all the newly created hummingbird worms to the direction of the Empire's fleet landing.
The damage caused by these hummingbird worms to the Empire's landing ships was far greater than the plasma ball and bone spur attack just now!
Because these landing ships were not equipped with heavy weapons, their own light weapons could only cause some damage to these hummingbird worms through concentrated fire.
But the number of hummingbird worms was too large! The number of just-hatched batches has reached 50 million, and is still increasing rapidly at a rate of one million per second.
Using their small bodies, these hummingbird worms shuttled through the fleet of imperial landing ships, and the bone spur shells in their firing chambers were fired at the imperial landing ships passing by from time to time.
If the landing ships concentrated by these bone spurs are lucky, they can still withstand these attacks with their armor.
If they are unlucky and are pierced into weak defensive positions by these bone spurs, then these detonated bone spurs will be able to tear the entire landing ship directly from the inside.
The seemingly huge landing ships are nothing more than slow-moving targets and prey in front of these hummingbird worms.
Not only are there no heavy weapons on their bulky bodies, but even the heavy armor has been abandoned by the landing ships.
They simply cannot effectively defend against the bone spur shells of these hummingbird worms!
In the flashes released by the explosions of landing ships, less than 50% of the landing ships rushed into the atmosphere of this "planet".
This layer of atmosphere was obviously artificially created. When the Imperial landing ship entered, it seemed as if it had crashed into cotton. Not only did its speed slow down greatly, but the outer armor also heated up sharply due to friction.
In contrast, the speed of the hummingbird worms that followed remained unchanged, their bodies were still so agile, and even their shells did not generate super high temperatures due to friction.
This layer of atmosphere was obviously created to resist invaders.
Taking advantage of the delay of the Imperial landing ship, the battleship worms behind took the opportunity to catch up. Their tentacles kept flying behind them, and the firing chamber at the bow of the ship closed and opened. Whenever the firing chamber opened, bone spurs and plasma shells would be ejected from it.
The Imperial landing fleet was immediately attacked from the front and back, and a large number of casualties began to occur.
The Zerg, who were attracted by these landing ships, did not notice that behind this group of landing ships, a hundred ships that had entered stealth mode were quietly approaching the Zerg mothership.
The 100 stealthed ships are all carrying elite warriors of the Empire. They have only one purpose, that is, while the Zerg are distracted by the landing clone soldiers, these warriors will directly kill into the core of the mothership and detonate the antimatter bombs in their space backpacks!
At this time, the Zerg Queen is not really concerned about the landing of these Imperial landing ships.
Because even if there are more Imperial soldiers landing on the mothership, it will not cause any harm to her.
After all, this mothership not only carries hundreds of billions of advanced Zerg units, but it is also the body of the Zerg Queen!
Any creature that lands on her body will be known to her in all its dynamics, and she can even control her own organization to kill these landing "bugs".
As for the Empire, if it wants to detonate antimatter bombs on it, she has her own way to deal with it!
Now her main focus is still on the Imperial fleet on the battlefield not far away, because in her opinion, these fleets pose a far greater threat to her than these landing Imperial clone soldiers.
If the clone soldiers who were landing knew what the Zerg Queen was thinking, they would definitely stamp their feet and beat their chests and want to cry but have no tears. It seems that their current life and death situation is the result of the Zerg Queen's casual action. If the Queen is determined not to let them land, then they will not have a chance at all.
In the landing ship led by the Imperial landing fleet, the whistling cold wind poured in from the holes blown out around the landing ship.
The commander couldn't help but frowned when he heard the howling sound of the wind like the sobbing of hundreds of ghosts. As a command ship, this landing ship has specially strengthened its armor, but even so, it is still riddled with holes.
More than 20 soldiers have died in these explosions, and this landing ship has run out of fuel, and even the thrusters have begun to strike from time to time.
It is very likely that this landing ship can no longer hold on to landing, and the other landing ships in the fleet are basically in a similar state.
After all, there are too many flying bone spurs and plasma shells. Even if they are not directly hit, it will not be good to be touched by these attacks.
"Sir, we can't hold on any longer! If the Zerg continue to attack, we will all be killed here!" A soldier moved to the commander's side step by step with difficulty in the howling wind and shouted loudly.
The plasma shells just now caused the communication system of this landing ship to go on strike. It will take a long time to recover. If they want to communicate, they can only rely on shouting.
As clone soldiers, these soldiers are not equipped with mental linkers, so they can only use this primitive means of communication.
"Wait for my order! Everyone prepare to airdrop directly!" The commander nodded gently after hearing this. He also knew that his people could not hold on any longer. This landing ship may disintegrate in the air at any time.
At this time, another bone spur shell penetrated the hull and pierced the soldier who just shouted out of the landing ship!
The commander's arm just stretched out weakly in the air twice and then retracted his hand in despair. After all, these bone spur shells were too fast. By the time he reacted, this bone spur shell had penetrated the entire landing ship.
Fortunately, this bone spur shell only penetrated the hull directly and did not explode in the landing ship, otherwise all the people on their ship should have been blown to ashes.
At this moment, the commander suddenly discovered that the flames outside the battleship that had illuminated the starry sky due to the fierce battle between the two sides suddenly disappeared, and the lights inside the battleship no longer flickered.
