Chapter 363 Heaven's Gate
While the coalition forces in Tasanis were desperately bombing nuclear bombs, Lehman was already dragging a large number of insect troops and almost rushed to the ambush point. Dagas, a brainworm who was now quite unhappy with Lehman because he was plotted by Lehman, was commanding his own group to chase after Lehman.
At this moment, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon on the surface of Tasanis. Although Dagas did not shout "How can I lose when I ride my face?", he also felt a sense of avenging his previous shame. The feeling of aggrievance that was calculated step by step by step by step by almost disappeared. It commanded the Zerg army to pursue it relentlessly and felt quite confident.
But we cannot misunderstand Dagas here. Brainworms are not fools among humans. Dagas's confidence is actually just like Napoleon's mood when he saw the British army in the Sovanin Forest retreat under the command of Wellington during the Battle of Waterloo. At that time, the British vanguard had begun to retreat, and all parts of the coalition forces were running around under his cannon. Napoleon could not foresee what would happen later. He was in a good mood at that time because of a professional's comprehensive judgment of the situation.
Put Napoleon aside and return to the brainworm Dagas, Dagas's good mood is also based on a professional judgment, or it should be said that it is an illusion created by Lehman that it is not yet known. This illusion is that Lehman has already lost his skills.
This is an illusion created by a long preparatory process. The main component is that Lehman deliberately created his strategy and tactics in several battles, which were based on nuclear bombs as the core - whether it was a nuclear raid of a submarine, a battle that exploded brainworms like a Trojan horse or other battles; there was also the battleship girls of Cyborg who deliberately ordered Lehman to use the appearance of a human battle cruiser, and on his escape, Lehman ordered the action of launching nuclear bombs at a gradually panic frequency to prevent the insect swarm from advancing.
All of this created an illusion for Dagas, that is, Lehman really had no other means.
Of course, although Dagas felt in a good mood, he did not relax too much vigilance. It still carefully controlled the troops to pursue Lehman. This cautiousness was different from the qualities of famous human generals, but the effect was very similar. The Zerg's pursuit troops had not lost much so far. Dagas also considered what the purpose of Lehman running like this, perhaps to lure the swarm out of Tasanis, but this was meaningless...
Because from a grand strategy perspective, the Lord has changed the policy of the Tasanis battle. The original looting war against the psychics and population has become an annihilation war against the living forces of humans and the Astral Spirits. A local war has been elevated to the level of a regional decisive battle. In this case, the Lord mobilized the three tribes to devote all their efforts to the decisive battle. Under this overwhelming advantage, the Zerg has enough ability to divide the troops and divide them into three strands to complete the annihilation.
So it doesn't make sense to drag him away. He just came to eliminate Lehman. Tasanis had other ethnic groups in charge, and Lehman's plan would never succeed--Dagas thought so, so what else would Lehman's purpose besides this?
Just as Dagas was thinking like this, Lehman's fleet changed a little again. Under Dagas's gaze, the engine part of the last battleship of Lehman's fleet emitted dazzling sparks. The ship shook violently, and then the inside of the hull, especially the engine, burst out with flames. Then the ship lost its power and began to circulate in place.
The swarm was about to pounce on him when he saw this, but Dagas urgently stopped him. He commanded the swarm's large force to bypass the warship and continue to pursue. The experience of dealing with Lehman forced Dagas to consider whether there would be any traps buried in the body of this warship, which seemed to be overloading and running too long and was out of control. Thinking of this, Dagas ordered the main force to circumvent, leaving a lord and a few troops to board the ship for inspection.
Because of this detour, the distance between the swarm and the Atonement Fleet was reduced a little further. Then, under Dagas's satisfactory gaze, the Fletcher-class destroyer with failed engines did explode a nuclear explosion in the hull, blowing the small troops boarded the ship into slag, which made Dagas even more satisfied. In its opinion, Lehman was really exhausted, otherwise he would not have used all the ships as bombs.
The insect swarm was more active. Lehman's fleet rushed left and right, and many Fletcher-class engines failed and fell behind, and they were on the spot. However, this time Dagas did not even send small troops to inspect the troops, and directly ordered the troops to continue chasing like a big snake winding forward in the universe.
"Commander, there are only 10 Fletchers left. If you abandon it like this, you will not be able to maintain the fleet's air defense fire circle. Please allow us to fire super gravity cannons!" Seeing that the ships in the fleet were thrown more and more by Lehman, Zeppelin couldn't help but step forward and whisper to Lehman. In her opinion, the insect swarm is no longer bait now. What is it that wastes ships and nuclear bombs?
"I will definitely send you back to Optimus Prime to upgrade your intelligence after the fight," Lehman looked at Zeppelin, who was angry and funny, angry, and said stupid things. "You fire now, how much do you think you can kill? The super gravity cannon takes a long time to launch preparation. I have seen it. Even if you warship girls adopt a combination tactic and transform into a super fortress, it still takes at least 37 seconds to prepare for fire. How many do you think those bugs can run away in 37 seconds?"
"But..." Zeppelin knew that she could not refute. The time for the fire preparations her commander said was correct, but this could not stop the warship girl from being unhappy. In the end, she could only look at Lehman with a little aggrievedness and stopped talking.
Lehman didn't have time to notice Zeppelin's little wife's aggrieved look. He was staring at the star map with all his attention. After beating the rhythm with his fingers for a short while, he suddenly waved his hand and gave an order to Zeppelin:
"Prepare to abandon the three Fletcher levels, wait for my signals, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, abandon!!!"
Zeppelin immediately conveyed the signal. No matter how she didn't understand, she was also a soldier on the battlefield. Executing orders was the most basic quality. So under Zeppelin's faithful command, three more Fletcher-level Fletcher-level engines seemed to have an accident. One glance, sparks were charged and then they began to circle. Dagas skillfully bypassed these three Fletchers and continued to pursue them.
But what Dagas didn't notice was that the abandoned Fletcher's "wrecks" that had now reached 12 were gradually gathering behind the butts of the swarm in a chaotic spin that looked like the engine failed.
These "debris" and a series of other factors gradually formed some dangerous elements, which were as dangerous as the ditches near Mount St. John to Napoleon of Waterloo. But just as Napoleon, who was in a good mood, ignored the warning of the guide's shaking his head, Dagas also ignored the dangers gathering around him under Lehman's constant smoke bombs.
The Atonement Fleet gradually approached the tip of the original A-shaped battlefield, and the ambushed location--the warship King Kong has led the Special Mixed Fleet to build the meteorite belt into a hedgehog area full of automatic turrets. However, the biggest change is about 8 meteorites floating quietly in the universe. This meteorite has been transformed according to Lehman's richness.
The specific transformation is to split and transform the flagship armed forces of King Kong as a warship and install them on these 8 meteorites. The so-called flagship armed forces are special armed forces that only the warships have the authority to deploy as the fleet flagship. King Kong's flagship armed forces are a space teleportation device. The original purpose is to quickly teleport the Atonement Fleet to the battlefield, but it is not the case now.
Seeing Lehman getting closer and closer with his worms, King Kong, who was in an absolute silence, finally waited for the signal beam sent by Lehman's flagship Earl Zeppelin. With the order of the warship, which had been so overwhelmed, the entire meteorite came alive. Countless artillery fire and missiles made it look like there was a sudden wave of meteor showers in the universe. This wave of destructive meteor shower flew past Lehman's fleet, slowing down the insect swarm at the front of the pursuit queue.
[Is this your backhand? Not good enough] Such thoughts flowed through Dagas's consciousness, and then ordered the bugs with long-distance shelling to speed up and shoot out beams of high-energy particles, smashing the meteorite turret, and quickly sparse the intercepting firepower.
"Start nuclear bombs backwards, flagship fleet, prepare for ultra-short-range jumps, King Kong Special Mixed Fleet, prepare to launch flagship armaments simultaneously," Lehman stared at the watch tightly, and suddenly waved his hand down like a slash, "Leap!"
The flash of the nuclear explosion exploded between the Atonement Fleet and the swarm. In the dazzling light, Lehman's fleet disappeared invisible in the flash. Under the shadow of space fluctuations and flashes, the flagship armed forces on the eight meteorites were activated at the same time. A super-large space leading to the empty space of birds three light years away without shit, and the birds without shit were immediately opened on the route of the swarm's progress!
Dagas did not have time to give new orders in time due to a brief surprise and confusion. In this fatal moment, a large group of Zergs who could not stop the car had rushed into the space and were moved to three light years away. Seeing the troops being swallowed by the door in large numbers, Dagas, who had been in a trance for more than a second, also woke up and hurriedly ordered the Zergs to brake suddenly.
The swarm of insects braked in time, but even so, there were flying mantles and self-destructing mosquitoes in units of tens of thousands, and many shelling motherships like small Leviathans rushed into the space gate and were thrown to nowhere.
At this moment, Lehman's fleet also escaped from the short-distance jump and emerged from behind the insect swarm. Dagas sensed the signal of Lehman's fleet and turned the direction and wanted to kill him back, but he suddenly found that the "wrecks" that had been bypassed before had blocked their way.
"Kingam Special Mixed Fleet, Flagship Fleet, activate the super gravity gun shooting program, free target selection, bait fleet, and volley nuclear bombs!"
The rain-like nuclear missile was shot out from the "wrecks" and rushed towards the dense and chaotic insect swarm. Dagas naturally would not eat it hard, but just when it was planning to control the insect swarm to avoid the nuclear missiles, the warning from the master arrived. Dagas also felt the two terrifying gravitational fluctuations in the pincer attacking direction of the troops!
[That human was indeed hiding its strength. They had gravitational weapons. Leave that, Dagas!!!] The master was roaring.
The nuclear bomb that blocked the road and the super-gravity cannon that crossed the road in two directions. After watching the insect swarm fall into panic, Lehman turned his head and said to Zeppelin:
"Send a signal to the main fleet and take this opportunity to implement the gate of heaven."
Zeppelin happily conveyed the order, and Dagas, facing a cross-strike that seemed to be a dead end, had to make a decision to cut off his arm.
