Stellaris from the Automata Era

Although the combat troops on the command ship built bunkers, missile towers and other defensive buildings at the first time and blocked all possible passes.

But Warfield, who had experience fighting insects, knew that this was not enough to stop their advance.

In fact, just by looking from a distance, everyone can see a lot of higher-level insects. These existences alone are enough to break through their defenses and massacre the soldiers who are holding here.

But what surprised everyone was that the Zerg did not seem to be in a hurry to attack Warfield's defensive position, or they did not intend to kill the commander just like that.

The Zerg outside seemed to be conducting tentative attacks on the Tyranids in batches, trying their best to avoid damaging the basic numbers.

Even so, it has brought tremendous pressure to the defenders.

As the war continued and the number of soldiers decreased, even Commander Warfield had to go into battle with a gun and fight the bugs in the makeshift trenches.

Of course, what really accelerated the deterioration of their defensive situation was the consumption of ammunition that could not be replenished due to the lack of a production line and the arrival of reinforcements.

A whistling sound that was clearly different from the flapping wings of the swarm dragons was heard in the sky.

"Cannon fire?" Almost everyone immediately recognized the source of the sound. "Tank artillery! Reinforcements!"

Although tanks are usually quite powerful when attacking their own people, everyone who heard the sound and was still alive couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity.

Their heavy firepower had long since run out of ammunition in the previous defenses, and what was still placed on the front line were just large coffins used for deterrence.

Therefore, from the moment the scream was heard, they instantly understood that their support had arrived.

In response to their thoughts, accompanied by screams, dense artillery shells fell directly around various Zerg units.

The powerful explosives directly took the lives of many insects, and then the entire battlefield became chaotic.

The sudden intruders were obviously also expected by the Zerg commander. From the moment the first batch of Zerg were attacked by artillery fire, a wonderful chemical reaction occurred.

Compared with the previous slow and steady pressure attack, a large number of insects seemed to be commanded online and began to attack Warfield's defense position with all their strength.

What's worse is that facing this overwhelming attack, Warfield has no way to resolve it for the time being.

"This is a frontline bunker! We need support! We need support! Aa ...

"Damn it."

The radio transmissions from the frontline garrisoned in the bunkers have fallen silent, so there is no need to mention their fate.

The reason why the battle between the Tyranid soldiers and the Zerg can last until the end is largely because the Zerg never leaves anyone alive. If they want to survive, they have no choice but to kill the Zerg.

"These guys aren't coming for me."

It was not until now that Warfield finally realized that the Zerg had no intention of killing him immediately. The slow and steady attack was entirely to wait for his reinforcements to arrive so that they could wipe out everyone in one go.

After all, the most troublesome thing for the Tyranids to deal with the Zerg is their defensive positions. As long as they can establish their own defense line, many times the most ferocious Zerg Queen will not want to launch a frontal attack.

Naturally, to deal with the Terrans, we must find a way to make them come out of their shells. It would be best to surround them and attack their reinforcements.

Now that his reinforcements have arrived, there is naturally no value in continuing to use Warfield.

Although he had already understood the key points, he could no longer stop it from happening.

Moreover, rather than the established facts that had already happened, what he needed to focus on most now was how to keep himself, this loser, alive as long as possible until the reinforcements arrived in front of them.

"Everyone listen up, don't let any bugs in!"

Because the initial front-line bunker had been breached, this meant that this group of people would have to rely on the dug trenches to hold their ground.

But the actual function of this thing is actually just that. If it is used against a race that also uses weapons, the trench may still play its due role and become a solid barrier.

But for the Zerglings that have a large number of melee Zerglings as cannon fodder, the trenches may also restrict the hands and feet of the Tyranids. After all, if the Zerglings rush in in such a narrow environment, their weapons may kill their own people first.

However, because the Zerg also has a large number of ranged units, it can be considered an effective defense against bugs like Hydralisks and Mutalisks.

The only thing Warfield could be thankful for now was that they had lost a lot of firepower and might have been judged as low-threat targets by the Zerg.

Attacking them was a mixed force consisting of a large number of Zerglings and a smaller number of Hydralisks and Mutalisks, while higher-level bugs like Ultralisks, which posed a significant threat, seemed to be heading straight for the rescue force.

In their eyes, attacking the Terran Empire's manpower is the first goal, which gives Warfield a lot of breathing space.

But it was just a respite. If things went well, the Tyranid army that came out of the defense circle should not be a threat. However, this time the Queen of Blades seemed to have underestimated the invading reinforcements.

Because she soon discovered that her outer troops had been penetrated. A lightly armed force that didn't even seem to be wearing power armor rushed directly into Warfield's defense line with the cover of artillery fire.

Soon after, all the insects inside lost their signal.

What kind of monster is this!?

However, the matter was not over yet. The lightly armed troops who helped stabilize the front quickly demonstrated technology that the Queen of Blades had never seen before, unleashing a huge amount of firepower from a small, square robot.

The attack spread outward from the originally surrounded area. In an instant, the swarm of insects not only had to withstand the frontal fire, but their interior was also covered and bombed.

Because the two sides are already close to each other, the firepower inside may be more accurate than those tanks outside.

At the same time, the Terran high-tech team outside also arrived at the scene one after another, cooperating to confine all the insects to the tank fire.

For a moment, the Blade Queen, who was still immersed in the great victory, suddenly felt confused. Did the commander of the opponent change?

She even vaguely saw the figure of her old friend from the tactics of these soldiers. If it weren't for the sign on the opposite side that showed the imperial army, she would have thought that Renault had already defected to the empire.

"Thank you for coming, humanoids, right? I know you guys," Warfield said after a breath. Perhaps because of the variable of the humanoid, the general on this fateful line managed to save his right hand. "I hope you're not the only ones here."

"We are enough."

Chapter 213: Terran sends a diplomatic mission to Earth

The Queen of Blades' encirclement and suppression of the Tyranids was basically doomed to failure. With Raynor's flexible use of his troop combinations, he pinned the Zerg army within the coverage of artillery fire.

In this situation, the Zerg simply cannot withstand such losses. It's not that there are not enough of them, but that the current tunnel worms are unable to release all of their forces.

Before reaching a certain size, the current insect swarm is just adding non-recyclable biomass in vain.

If we continue to fight like this, we will not be exchanging bugs for combat losses, but for the enemy's ammunition production speed.

As a former Terran, the Queen of Blades naturally knew everything about them. The efficiency of their assembly line factory might not be much slower than that of the insects.

Instead of waiting to exchange a base with full production capacity for ammunition, she might as well choose an open area and defeat the Terrans head-on.

With this in mind, the Queen of Blades gave up on sending more parts to the current battlefield, so soon no more worms emerged from the interior of the tunnel worm.

Of course, the Zerg army already on the battlefield had no intention of retreating. Compared with the accidental losses caused by their escape, it would be better to replace a few more Tyranid combat units.

As the Zerg swarms on the battlefield gradually decreased, the entire Char surrender operation basically came to an end.

Let's shift our perspective first.

The battle on Char will probably continue for some time. It is undeniable that the Tyranids' landing attack was brutal. Although they have been suffering heavy casualties, they have indeed posed a substantial threat to the Queen of Blades.

It was not until the Tyranid front-line base was re-established on the planet Char that the Zerg leader, the Queen of Blades, hurriedly recalled her various Zerg swarms across the galaxy.

The Zerg swarms that were originally overwhelming and fighting across various galaxies were quickly curbed and began to move towards their home star.

Of course, their obvious retreat would not be let off by other races, whether it was the Terran Empire that was already struggling or the Protoss fleet that was busy running around between battlefields.

Almost at the same time, they launched a pursuit and blockade of the Zerg troops. Although many of them did not know the reason why the Zerg suddenly stopped, no normal commander would miss such a good opportunity.

Therefore, the battle surrounding the Chars turned the war situation in the entire Koprulu sector into a mess.

However, these have little to do with Yan Luo. The geographical location of the earth itself does not have any actual borders with any race.

He is now as stable as a country on the other side of the ocean in the old times. As long as he continues to implement his isolation policy, the turmoil in the universe will have nothing to do with him.

The premise is that no one comes to provoke him.

The Terran Empire finally recovered from its battle with the Zerg. After looking back, they turned their gaze back to the remote Earth and cast their own scrutiny.

In fact, there has never been a country on the planet Koprulu as miserable as Terran, so they naturally would not think that they are the only intelligent life in the universe.

But at the same time, every time they come into contact with a race different from their own, it almost always starts with war, whether it is the Zerg or the Protoss.

The Tyranids because they can be said to have shed blood for almost all of Koprulu.

Based on historical lessons, Terran almost immediately took xenophobic measures to deal with the trend, even without the imperial high-ranking officials making a big fuss to divert the scandal.

Their people will essentially choose the path of confrontation. After all, those who believed that the Zerg could communicate have long since died and fed the Zerg.

"So what did those Terrans do to me again?" Yan Luo briefly withdrew his gaze from the planet Char and asked the human figures around him.

According to previous reports, a Terran warship has approached the Earth's control area. Yan Luo originally thought that this was another test by the Terrans, but the results seemed different.

"A destroyer, or more accurately, a diplomatic ship, at least that's what they call themselves."

Yan Luo nodded.

The diplomatic team sent by the Terran Empire was both unexpected and reasonable.

The communication between civilizations cannot always be praised with blood and fire, although their previous efforts at communication were all stained with blood and death, causing most people to feel a little ppsd.

But there is always no shortage of fearless and courageous people in this world. Of course, it is more likely that the humanoid soldiers that appeared on the Ranger ship made them instinctively believe that the Earth should be different from the Protoss and the Zerg.

They belong to a race that should be able to communicate. At least their human-like appearance makes them let down their guard. This group of people should not be here to destroy the country and the race.

With this mentality, the Terran Empire successfully formed a death-defying (crossed out) diplomatic team and headed towards the Earth-controlled area. They are now in urgent need of understanding the form and speed of this group of people.

"So do we need to meet them?"

The manager Xinghong asked Yan Luo a question.

In essence, the Earth is in a dual political state, with humanoid and mechanical life forms jointly in charge of external discourse.

Because Yan Luo had considered possible contact with extraterrestrial civilizations a long time ago, Yan Luo had long ago delegated the relevant powers related to this area.

It is impossible for him to pay attention to every aspect of the earth, but the composition of the humanoid high-level is too complex (single), and they in turn put the decision-making back in Yan Luo's hands.

As for the mechanical life forms, as their rulers, they are the pointers to the general direction of progress. Generally speaking, they will only complete the goals, and the episodes and goals within the goals are left to the rulers to consider.

"Let's meet." Contact with the Terran Empire is a must. Yan Luo currently needs their complete technology tree to make up for his own shortcomings.

However, the resistance of their lower-class people made this process difficult to carry out. It is understandable when you think about the fact that Yan Luo had previously admitted that the humanoid's behavior was kidnapping.

Although the humanoid conspiracy theory is still being promoted within Terran, public opinion can be easily reversed. As long as the other party's propaganda machine is willing to cooperate, even coal briquettes can change their color.

"Send one of your men with Adam to contact the Terrans."

Although it would be better to send human figures for communication, as the leader of both parties, Yan Luo decided to be fair.

Of course, Yan Luo still had to personally monitor their conversations with the Terrans. After all, the humanoid and mechanical life forms were still too naive, and politics was often too complex for them to grasp.

Chapter 214: The Empire Sends You Sincere Greetings

Major Morse and his men walked into the temporary meeting room set up for them by the humanoids, almost trembling.

If Yan Luo could pay more careful attention to the situation of the Terran Empire, he might soon discover that the Terran Empire is currently in a weak state.

Although the Zerg had already fallen into a state of retreat in the Koprulu sector, their previous all-out offensive still dealt a huge blow to the Tyranids.

Especially after the imperial prince took away half of the military forces, Terran's situation of barely defending itself became even more precarious.

But after the imperial prince paid a heavy price to conquer Charles, the empire's life suddenly became much better.

But this was only temporary. As the Queen of Blades finally felt threatened and decided to pull back most of the Zerg to rescue her, Mengsk, after weighing the pros and cons, ordered the entire empire to use its remaining military forces to counterattack and stop the attack.

After all, that prince was his only biological child, even though he had the ambition of "how can a prince be a prince for seventy years" and chose to cooperate with his enemies.

But it is undeniable that after Mengsk's death, the throne of the empire will still be handed over to the other party.

However, before the prince could officially use the surname Mengsk to crown himself the second king, he still had to go through some trials and tribulations.

Therefore, in essence, the conflict between the prince and the emperor is at most a conflict between high-level interests, and it may even be something Mengsk is happy to see.

After all, he himself did not come to the throne in a legitimate way. If his descendants did not have some strength and courage, they would soon be driven off the throne by the empire full of warlords after his death.

Since I can still suppress him now, I might as well give him more space to gain experience and let him learn the cruelty of political struggle.

Of course, Mengsk probably didn't expect that the prince would be so bold as to head directly towards the Zerg's lair, and he didn't expect to learn from an insider that he could still deliver most of his troops.

This meant that before he could start teaching the other party how to play politics, he had to save his life first.

The Zerg cannot be allowed to return to the savior planet, otherwise they will drown the Tyranid troops on Char. At this moment, he and the Protoss next door have different goals but the same path.

He could even go to greater lengths to stop the Zerg's frantic retreat.

But his actions were not without cost. From the moment he decided to stop the Zerg, it meant that the Empire became the main force to crush the Zerg army, and this time it would be a battle to the death.

Because both the Empire and the Zerg have key figures on the planet Char, from the very beginning everyone was engaged in a fierce and tense battle of life and death.
