Nuclear bomb
Su Ziyu's expression gradually became serious.
He did not expect that the empire's army would use nuclear weapons so quickly. What was even more surprising was that the nuclear weapons did not destroy the huge Titan Soldier. In this crystal wall system, there are only so many super giant combat units that can withstand nuclear bombs. The Leviathan (biological battleship) of the insect swarm, the Titan-class battleship of the humans, and the WARBOSS battleship of the orcs, but he did not expect what was in front of him. The Giant Divine Soldier was actually able to carry it down.
The signal is interrupted.
He cannot observe the situation on the battlefield now, but there is no doubt that the pressure on the imperial army is already very high at this moment.
Ordinary people will misjudge the power of nuclear weapons to a certain extent, but as someone who has played with small and medium-sized nuclear bombs many times, Su Ziyu has a rough understanding of the power of nuclear weapons.
Are nuclear weapons very lethal
no doubt.
Very big.
However, nuclear weapons also have some serious flaws, that is, they need to be launched and detonated, and they carry out three-dimensional strikes. Conventional small and medium-yield nuclear weapons will produce a fireball about one kilometer in diameter when they explode. This is the most powerful part. It can be said that In this range, even Su Ziyu would probably not survive. Without a super powerful protective barrier in this area, it would almost be said to be certain death. But outside this range, the power of nuclear weapons begins to drop significantly, which is at least bearable for legendary level beings.
When a nuclear explosion occurs, a shock wave of 1 to 2 kilometers will be generated outside the big explosion in the central area. The shock wave within this range plus thermal radiation will almost certainly kill ordinary people. However, if equipped with advanced exoskeleton armor, there is With proper shelter, the probability of death is about half, and radiation damage is bound to be suffered.
Further outward, the depletion speed of the shock wave and thermal radiation will increase significantly, because the energy of the nuclear bomb is released in three dimensions. It is a huge range attack, and the further it goes outward, the weaker its lethality.
If you want to greatly increase the power of nuclear bombs, you must rely on huge yields.
In fact, in the interstellar era, the frequency of using nuclear bombs is not high, because the side effects of using nuclear bombs are great, and the interstellar era pursues more penetrating point damage. In a certain small range, It causes a huge amount of damage at a single point. The power of nuclear bombs to kill is actually not much higher than that of light electromagnetic weapons. Many energy weapons gather huge amounts of energy at a certain point, which will also cause a big explosion. If the melt gun of the Dreadnought Mecha is turned on to its maximum power, it can also cause a range explosion of about half a kilometer in diameter.
Sizzle.
Just when Su Ziyu was hesitating whether he should take action, the holographic projection screen appeared again.
At this time, the giant soldier in the distance had already rushed to the defensive line of the imperial army. Its body part had some damage, but it was not caused by the nuclear bomb, but another silver-gray behemoth.
Titan mecha.
The ancient lost empire developed about a dozen different Titan mechas, and their main targets were super-large ground war machines.
Compared with the Titan Soldier, which is like a mountain, the Empire's Titan mecha is much smaller, but it is faster, more flexible, and equipped with a variety of weapons, from kinetic energy weapons to energy weapons to all kinds of weapons. Missiles are almost everywhere. However, its flaw is also obvious, that is, the Titan mecha only has a relatively weak ghost force field shield, while the Titan soldier is covered by the extremely powerful WAAAGH force field. When this force field is attacked by a nuclear bomb, It has been weakened a lot, but it can still block a lot of long-range damage.
The light curtain protecting the imperial army has been shattered.
Queen Isabella thought that the empire's defensive front could stop the enemy's offensive, but in fact it could not stop it at all. After the light curtain was broken by the super energy beam of the Titan Soldier, the mighty orc troops rushed in almost immediately into the defensive line.
Part of the command system was directly paralyzed, and the defensive formation composed of armored troops was unable to stop so many orc war leaders.
This time there were more orc leaders appearing on the battlefield.
They have been modified to a higher degree than the orcs that appeared before. A small number of orc leaders have even implanted a large number of mechanical prostheses, which are almost equivalent to half mechanical creations. Even if other orc leaders do not have mechanical prostheses, their appearance The skeletal armor also almost covered the entire person. From a distance, it looked like a mountain of iron.
These are all legendary psychic warriors who can tear apart tanks with their bare hands.
Yes.
The strength of an orc leader is probably close to that of a legendary warrior, plus a level 6-7 psyker. They have terrifying physical defense, a tough energy protection field, abnormal regeneration capabilities, and a range of WAAAGH The resonance force field is equivalent to a large-scale blessing BUFF.
And the ratio of such orc leaders is about 10,000 to one. There will definitely be a war leader among the 10,000 enemy troops.
"In the interstellar era, only elite combat units can decide the outcome." Su Ziyu shook his head and sighed.
According to data records, the ancient lost empire did not send out a large number of troops when fighting against the planet. They directly dispatched space warriors to descend directly from orbit in small groups to behead the target's command center, capital, and military fortress. , it usually takes no more than a day to capture a planet. After the opponent's main force is eliminated, the Astra Militarum will be sent out for subsequent occupation.
it is a pity.
Now the main force of the empire is the Astra Militarum, which means that they only have the ability to clean the battlefield and are not at the same level as the main force of the Orcs.
There's no stopping it.
The light exoskeleton armor equipped by the Astra Militarum has no ability to fight head-on with the orc leaders. They can only deal with those orc boys. As long as any orc leader rushes into the Astra Militarum's defense line, whether it is a heavy armored force or an astral force. Even the elite troops cannot stop them, and the mobility of the armored forces is a living target for them.
Queen Isabella.
There was a depressing atmosphere in the command room. Along with the sound of sirens, a man dressed as a general stood up and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty the Queen."
"The right wing has been breached."
"There is also a lot of pressure on the left wing defense."
"The enemy's vanguard is already close to a hundred kilometers away from the capital."
The physical fitness of the orcs is quite terrifying. They can fight almost all day and night. However, unless the physical fitness of humans is genetically modified and mechanically modified, the physical fitness of the conventional Astra Militarum cannot be maintained at its peak state for up to one or two hours of high-intensity fighting.
Above the combat command room, Queen Isabella's beautiful face was full of solemnity. She kept staring at the group of battleships in the sky. After pondering for a moment, she said in a solemn voice: "Let the Knights attack. "
"Knights from other places are coming directly from orbit."
"Their target is the imperial capital!"
The orcs have obviously discovered the capital of the empire. The most severely attacked place on the entire front is the capital, which is also the area where she is located.
"Yes!" The middle-aged general saluted and turned to leave.
The next second.
A synchronized report sounded in the command room.
"The Mechanical Knights are on standby."
"The Blood Crow Knights are on standby."
"The Knights of the Praetorian Guard are on standby."
… … …
Queen Isabella silently watched the battlefield. She turned around and glanced at the guard beside her, who was a woman wearing blood-red interstellar armor. Then she whispered: "Let the Blood Angels be on standby."
"I have a hunch."
"The enemy's real attack is about to begin."
Inside the Golden Palace.
There were some changes in the holographic projection in front of Su Ziyu. While the orc leader was rampaging on the battlefield, streaks of light suddenly flashed across the sky in the distance, and then some warriors equipped with interstellar armor appeared from behind. On the battlefield.
Compared with bulky exoskeleton armor, the armor of these space warriors is more close-fitting, and the weapons they hold are also very special. Some are equipped with light blades for close combat, while others are equipped with various powerful energies. firearms.
But not all interstellar armors are of this design. The first to face off against the orc leader on the battlefield was another knight war group. Their interstellar armors were extremely wild, all super heavy armor, with external Although the nether energy protective force field does not use light blades, it uses some powerful kinetic energy weapons and some strange guns that can be actively assembled.
Mechanical Knights.
These are all elite members of the Mechanicus Cult. Su Ziyu has learned their methods, and their strength is basically legendary level. More than half of them are semi-mechanical life forms. Their limbs and bodies have been transformed to some extent into ancient mechanical prostheses, an extremely tough active metal with self-healing ability. Their eyes are ancient mechanical eyes, and their important internal organs are all artificial. Organ, dynamic visual capabilities have almost reached the limits of what the human brain can use.
There are two promotion paths for the Knights of the Empire.
The first is the genetic modification of space warriors mastered by the imperial royal family and nobles. It involves a total of sixteen modification processes. It takes a long time, has a low probability, consumes a lot of resources, and also has certain requirements for its own qualifications.
The second is the advanced transformation of the mechanical ascension route mastered by the Mechanicum, which mainly involves the implantation of ancient active mechanical prostheses. All important organs in the body are replaced with bionic internal organs, and the operating efficiency is twice the limit of conventional humans. to three times, possessing quite terrifying combat power and recovery capabilities. If an organ or limb is damaged, it can be replaced at any time as long as there are spare parts.
But the shortcomings are also obvious. They can only use the psychic field belt, and they cannot cast any psychic spells themselves.
Boom boom boom!
Streams of light in the sky fell on the battlefield.
Orbital coming.
The support troops of the Imperial Knights have arrived on the battlefield!
Zi.
Along with the sound of the gate opening, strong figures flew out one after another, either flying at low altitude or moving instantly, ignoring the orc boys around them and rushing towards the war leaders.
- "Psychic confusion!"
— "Mind connection!"
An invisible wave of psychic energy erupted, and the charging orc troops immediately broke out into a large-scale commotion. Some orcs fired wildly with large tuts, and even more orcs slashed at each other with red eyes. Apparently, their minds had been destroyed. There is interference from the outside world.
-"gravity!"
-"paralysis!"
— "Blinding Pulse!"
— "Stunning Pulse!"
— "Lightning storm!"
Under the interference of psychic energy, the gravity on the battlefield was distorted to a certain extent, and some of the orcs froze in place. Then a large amount of electric current converged into a lightning burst, which directly targeted targets within a hundred meters. Differential strikes.
Those in the empire who are qualified for high-level genetic modification are all psykers of level six or above, and mind bending is basically a required course for them.
The imperial defense line, which was already on the verge of collapse, once again held firm.
Compared to bulky Dreadnought mechas, the Empire's Knights have unparalleled maneuverability. Rocket flight thrusters are simply incomparable to psychic leaps. The light blades activated by psychic energy can easily penetrate the orcs' WAAAGH. The force field, even the orc's Slayer mecha, can still be cut in half by the light blade.
"Where is their main force?" Su Ziyu frowned as he looked at the holographic projection in front of him.
The troops sent by the orcs now are very strong.
However, Su Ziyu did not see the enemy's main fleet, and most importantly, WARBOSS did not appear either.
This is not common sense!
"Something's wrong!" Su Ziyu's instinct told him that he seemed to have overlooked something.
The next second.
Su Ziyu teleported directly into the Psychic Coordination Center, and then he sat on a suspended chair in the center of the Psychic Coordination Center. A huge amount of spiritual energy poured out like running water, spreading in all directions, covering everything in an instant. Most of the planet.
"Oops!"
Some pictures appeared in Su Ziyu's telepathy, and then another tragic battlefield appeared in his mind.
In the sky.
A giant whale-like creature that is more than fifty kilometers long is rampaging. Its body is surrounded by dense orc fighter planes. Thousands of far-reaching artillery fire is shrouding its body, and explosions are coming one after another. The ground weakens the psychic protective force field covering the surface of the body.
This psychic fluctuation made Su Ziyu feel a little familiar.
It was as if he had been at war with him.
It was visible to the naked eye that tens of thousands of flying dragons and insect swarms were pouring out from the body of the behemoth. On the periphery of the battlefield, countless flying dragons pounced on the orc warships and fighter planes like dark clouds. They spit out The acid collided and bit with its body. In the blood that was spilled all over the sky, it did not hesitate to die with the enemy. The extremely brutal battle left the ground covered with the corpses of orcs and insects. At the same time, in addition to the flying dragons of the insect swarm, there were many others on the battlefield. Wild insects, as if they were summoned and controlled, are constantly coming here.
The main force of the orcs is actually here!
Their primary target of attack was actually not the empire's army, but the insect nest entrenched on another continent.
— "Leviathan [Super Giant Living Battleship] [Insect Swarm Lair] [Tyran Evolution (Unfinished)] [Level 10 Psychic Unit]!"
Swarms of insects and orcs all over the sky were fighting together.
Leviathan's huge body withstood too much firepower, and its own psychic shield could no longer resist. With the violent explosion, Leviathan's body suddenly fell hundreds of meters. Pieces of flesh and blood pits appeared on the broad back. Accompanied by angry screams, Leviathan crashed directly into the orc fleet in front. The huge body rushed forward at an alarming speed, as if there was another spiritual energy coming. Injected into its body, the originally fragmented psychic energy field gathered again and instantly opened a blood path. Amidst the explosions one after another, Leviathan rushed out forcefully.
Buzz buzz.
Countless insects spurted out from the cavities on both sides of it like a swarm. They formed a black cloud with a diameter of tens of kilometers. When they came into contact with the Orcs' battleships and aircraft, violent explosions were immediately heard.
"Help… "
One after another, the orc steel battleships chased over, and a glimmer of light seemed to appear in the sky. Then the gravitational magnetic field around Leviathan was distorted. The next second, a powerful energy beam fell from the sky and penetrated directly. The right side of Leviathan's body formed a flesh and blood cavity with a diameter of nearly ten meters and a bottomless depth.
In Su Ziyu's mind, a weak spiritual message sounded again:
"Help us..."
