Chapter 624, Shadow of Subspace

At the same time when the Varuk fleet emerged from the jump point, the small Mechanicus fleet that had previously lost its trace also appeared not far from the main fleet of the Alliance.

Without any foreplay, these ships did not even try to open fire. They understood that with the little firepower in their fleet, it would not make much sense to bombard with all their strength. Shooting down one or two small boats would not have an effective impact on the war situation.

They had a more important task.

These Mechanicus ships were advancing madly towards the main position of the Alliance fleet, and the posture seemed to want to crash into it.

Crash... In some old and outrageous naval textbooks, it can be regarded as a tactic, but it is obviously too ridiculous, so that in actual wars, except for a few unexpected situations, it cannot be seen.

But these crazy ships seemed to be doing this.

They must not be allowed to succeed.

Even in the face of Varuk's main fleet, which appeared at the jump point in advance, the Alliance fleet still allocated some firepower to deal with these crazy ships.

Adhering to the idea that no matter what they want to do, if they are blown up, the problem can always be solved, the Alliance fiercely concentrated fire, and in a very short time, the void shields and energy shields of these ships were blown up. Only the ship armor was left, which was obviously not enough to compete with the Alliance's fierce firepower.

After several rounds of artillery fire, the armor-penetrating firepower almost blew up all these ships into space junk.

At this stage, the main firepower of the Alliance fleet was even still dealing with the main forces of the Varuk fleet that had just completed the jump and had no time to deploy shields.

Two fleets of similar size, even stronger than Varuk, fought a decisive battle at a location like the jump point. If there is a first-hand advantage, it must be used as much as possible.

Opening fire first may not completely determine the outcome of this war, but it is obviously a big weight on the scale. As long as one or two main ships of the opponent are blown up at this stage, it will be a huge victory; even if it doesn't work, it is also good to destroy more frigates and cruisers.

The Varuk fleet used some special technology to deceive the alliance's cosmic observation capabilities and arrived early, leaving the alliance somewhat unprepared, which was already reducing the alliance's first-mover advantage; and the small fleet that came out from the side also attracted some firepower, which also reduced the pressure on the arrival of the main force of the Varuk fleet.

However, the alliance fleet soon discovered that this was just a small matter.

Originally, it was thought that the problem had been solved after the small fleet that came from the side was blown up. Although in the previous report, it was mentioned that they had a strange technology of releasing "spores" that could directly threaten their own ships. However, if the ships were blown up by you, no matter how powerful this technology is, it would be useless, right?

Not really.

After those ships were blown to pieces, they had just focused their main attention on the battle at the jump point, and were fiercely projecting firepower, trying to take advantage of the stage when the enemy ships had no time to open the shield and cause as much damage as possible. Suddenly, more than 30 alliance ships reported to the fleet headquarters that their ships had been invaded.

That kind of 'spore' appeared again.

It looked like a huge insect egg that looked larger than an ordinary landing spacecraft. This egg-like thing seemed to have floated out from the wreckage of those small fleets. The purple-black appearance was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye - at the scale of the universe, anything is actually not easy to observe with the naked eye.

However, the multiple observation methods of the Auspicious Instrument and the Star Language Tower did not detect the approach of this strange space object.

By the time it was detected, it was a bit too late.

In the process of slowly passing through the void shield, the ship's short-range firepower shot down some, but not much. Generally speaking, whether it is fighting pirates, human civil war, or dealing with monsters such as greenskins, when encountering boarding operations, the opponent usually has to choose some places suitable for landing. The deck, muzzle, bottom cabin of the ship... These places are relatively weak, and there are places to enter. Even if you want to smash a hole to break through hard, it should be convenient.

For this reason, the ship's short-range defensive firepower will also focus on these positions.

However, the attack target of these eggs is not here.

They just found a place to stick it casually. The eggs have some kind of stickiness. After sticking, its surface quickly melts, and the mucus formed dissolves the outer armor of the ship.

The range of dissolution is only about ten meters, or even a few meters. For a huge warship, it is not a big injury. Even if the enemy's firepower comes through the void shield, it is not easy to hit the dissolved part at a scale of thousands or tens of kilometers.

As for the problem of "leakage" caused by the dissolution of part of the armor and hull of the ship, there is no need to worry. Any ship of scale has made very detailed plans for such risks. It should be isolated when necessary, and the ship damage management department is not a freeloader.

However, the key point is not the dissolution of the armor, but the huge number of Zerg soldiers that subsequently emerged from the eggs.

The reason why it is described as a soldier is because it roughly looks like a human being; and the reason why it is prefixed with Zerg is mainly because its head, arms, and body structure have too many Zerg characteristics, and also have many mechanically modified features.

It should be a new type of modified servitor developed by some kind of insect swarm technology developed by the Mechanicus. The combination of mechanical modification and biological modification technology can produce something with really strong individual combat strength.

From this perspective, the initial goal of those small ships that rushed over was not just to attract firepower. Rather than being blown up, it is better to say that they came here to commit suicide.

After the self-explosion, the insect eggs released caused at least 30 Alliance ships to fall into chaos.

Among them, there were even two main ships of the Alliance: the Eagle Horse and the Golden Pass.

The former is an aircraft carrier and the latter is a battleship.

Gu Hang himself was on the Golden Pass.

It was simple to deal with these problems on the two giant ships.

There was no need for Gu Hang to take action. There were enough marines in the ship, plus the Glory Guards, to handle it. Not to mention, the Space Marines of the two regiments, the Fury and the New World Torch, were also deployed in place, enough to eliminate the invaders.

It did not affect the ship's combat.

However, it is difficult to deal with some other small and medium-sized ships that have been invaded.

The Alliance's Marine Corps has generally been pulled to the T4 level. The ships are equipped with sentinel mechas, individual exoskeletons, walkers and other armored vehicles with good performance, and even a small number of elite troops wearing commander-type power armor.

But despite this, without the help of space warriors, large-scale glory guards or battle sisters, it is still difficult to completely suppress these invading monsters.

These invaded ships will not be destroyed, but chaos inside the ships is inevitable, which affects the combat efficiency of the ships.

Gu Hang did not pay too much attention to these issues.

They are all small tricks.

After a layer of small combos, the Alliance's first-hand advantage has indeed been reduced a lot.

But it doesn't matter.

These have some impact on the balance of victory, but to be honest, it is not big.

He always remembers that his most powerful weapon is his own psychic power.

As long as his psychic power can be used normally, the victory of the war will always belong to the Alliance.

However, he also did not forget the inexplicable anxiety that appeared before.

If it is understood as a dangerous sign, then up to now, this sign is far from being fulfilled.

As for the combo tricks that Varuk made, it is quite useful, but it is far from making Gu Hang anxious.

It is nothing more than affecting the first-hand advantage of the Alliance. Seeing that almost all members of the Varuk fleet have passed through the astral tunnel and have appeared in front of the Alliance fleet to set up a battle formation. The void shields that should be opened have been opened, and the total price paid is only four cruisers plus less than 20 destroyers and frigates, which is not large.

But so what?

Gu Hang's psychic power is already stirring, and all members of the Storm Mage Corps are in place.

The targets have been selected, so let's find the mechanical ark that looks the largest first.

Gu Hang is trying to tear open its void shield.

It was not the first time that the entire alliance fleet cooperated with their boss. They turned their firepower and waited for the void shield to be torn apart before concentrating their firepower, aiming to destroy it as quickly as possible.

But in this process, Gu Hang was fully prepared and kept a little bit of reserve.

If the previous anxious premonition came true, it would most likely come true in this place.

Maybe Varuk had some means to deal with his psychic power.

Gu Hang wanted to see what it was.

Then, it really came.

When Gu Hang tore open the curtain between the Kingdom of Storms and the real universe, intending to use all his strength to descend on the power of the Kingdom of Storms and tear open the void shield of the mechanical ark, he suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes.

It was not dizziness, but it was really black.

That was the perspective seen through the Kingdom of Storms, a thick shadow enveloped his entire Kingdom of Storms.

Varuk's means actually came from the subspace!

This really surprised Gu Hang!

I didn't expect it...

The subspace shadow covering the Kingdom of Storm God cut off the power from the Kingdom of God to the real universe.

Even Gu Hang's own psychic power was affected.

Then, the subspace shadow in the main film was still covering the entire battlefield.

Not only Gu Hang, but all psychics felt heavy pressure!

At the same time, Alfonzo's fleet opened fire.
