From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man - Chapter 439

Boom. Boom——!

In the night sky of the capital city, as meteorites fell one after another, deafening roars were heard one after another.

Hiss——!

Not only the movement caused by the meteorites hitting the ground and buildings, but also the roars of warrior bugs and tiger bugs were clearly audible, as if announcing the official launch of this invasion.

Looking down from the sky, the streets and buildings of the entire city were covered with traces left by meteorite impacts, with smoke and fire everywhere.

Every time a meteorite hits the ground, it is followed by a mess.

Then, a large number of bugs will surge out of these impact sites, and like a tide, they will rush to the areas where fortifications have been set up, and quickly advance to the locations where armed units are stationed.

Ri~Buzz——Buzz——! !

Of course, the remnant fleet deployed above the city was not idle. The moment the “meteor shower” entered the range, it immediately activated the anti-aircraft artillery array and intercepted it with dense barrages.

However, facing the huge biological fleet composed of 100,000 space transport insects and plasma insects, the anti-aircraft firepower of the remaining fleet seemed insignificant and was simply a drop in the bucket.

Before long, this biological fleet released tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of insects to the surface of the capital city.

A surging sea of ​​insects quickly formed between the streets, and the black pressure continued to expand around, as if to devour all life.

The mercenaries, police officers, special police, militia, mobile infantry and assault soldiers who had been ready for battle, naturally could not sit and wait for death in the face of the upcoming sea of ​​insects.

In fact, before Leon issued orders and various instructions, they entered the combat state, and maintained real-time contact with each other through wireless communication to ensure the stability of the front.

Da-da-da-! !

The sound of gunfire also surged like a wave, and the sound of artillery was accompanied by dazzling flames, echoing on every street in the capital city.

The various armed units deployed in the buildings continued to pour a large amount of ammunition into the sea of ​​insects.

As the vanguard of this invasion, the warrior bugs and tiger bugs could not play their absolute advantage in numbers in the face of the current urban environment as they would in the open wilderness.

Puff-Puff-!

With the roar of guns and artillery, bullets and artillery groups penetrated the insect tide. Some hit and destroyed their nerve centers, and then they immediately became limp; others tore their limbs and torsos, causing their blood to splash in the air, instantly dyeing the streets “green”.

The bullets of various guns either hit their nerve centers or tore their limbs and torsos, causing green blood to splash on the spot.

Hiss-! !

These insects with extremely low individual intelligence would still instinctively make heart-wrenching howls because of pain after suffering a fatal blow, and they would echo in every corner of the city.

The first wave of insects that successfully broke through the anti-aircraft firepower of the remnant fleet and successfully landed undoubtedly suffered extremely heavy losses.

After all, the various armed units deployed in the capital city, as well as the local Campbellites who could fight with guns, were waiting for this moment.

Thousands of mobile infantrymen responsible for the eastern defense line, all held their weapons tightly, their eyes were sharp, and they pulled the triggers tightly, launching a fierce firepower counterattack against the surging sea of ​​insects.

The various insects crowded in the streets had no chance to escape at all.

Moreover, they were accustomed to attacking in groups, and obviously failed to realize how important bunkers and tactics were in urban combat.

It was precisely because of this that the first wave of insects that landed continued to suffer heavy losses, and the warrior insects and tiger insects fell almost in rows.

Moreover, the complex terrain and narrow alleys of the city greatly restricted the performance of the insects, making it difficult for them to fully exert their numerical advantage.

The firepower output of the mobile infantry continued, and even those soldiers with poor shooting skills could easily hit the target by closing their eyes and shooting out of the window.

As the bugs fell to the ground one by one, their morale rose. The pressure that had been intensifying before the war gradually strengthened their fighting spirit.

The falling shells made a clanging sound, and dust and smoke mixed together.

The rhythm of the battle gradually accelerated, and every gunshot and explosion seemed to be paving the way for the upcoming greater challenge.

In fact, with the continuous deployment of the Arachi biological fleet, countless bugs of all kinds were constantly pouring into the city.

Especially those huge tank bugs. Although they were far less than the “mass-produced” warrior bugs and tiger bugs in terms of individual numbers, they made all armed units feel unprecedented pressure with their extremely strong firepower and destructive power.

The tank bugs, which were originally behemoth units, could spray high-temperature flames, causing a very devastating blow to the only more than 100 main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles.

At the same time, the high-temperature flames they sprayed could even penetrate the walls of the giant buildings, seriously threatening the soldiers deployed in the buildings, and also making the entire city’s defense line begin to be precarious.

Boom-boom-!

What made the situation even more serious was that the space plasma worms entrenched in the near-Earth orbit were also “not to be outdone”, pouring down a rain of plasma artillery groups on the capital city.

Although the power of these plasmas would be greatly weakened when they penetrated the atmosphere at high speed, they still caused the entire city to be engulfed in flames, as if it were in purgatory on earth.

The armored units deployed at the crossroads suffered heavy losses in the face of tank bugs, plasma bugs and successive insect sea offensives.

No matter how thick the armor is, it can’t withstand high-temperature plasma, flames, and claws that can tear apart steel.

Faced with such an offensive, the motorized infantry and assault troops were unable to escape from buildings and bunkers. Walking onto the street at this moment was tantamount to “throwing themselves into a trap” with no possibility of survival.

In just over ten minutes, the size of the insect wave quickly expanded from the initial hundreds of thousands to millions.

This was despite the fact that personnel from various armed units almost never took their fingers off the trigger, and continued to pour ammunition regardless of the heat and damage of the barrel.

If it were not for the obstruction and attack by armed personnel from various ministries, tens of millions of insects would have gathered in the capital city.

Faced with such a situation, no one was taking any chances at this moment, and their morale was severely damaged.

At first, they thought “insects are nothing more than that”, but now, every soldier feels powerless.

Even though they tried their best, it was still difficult to stop the spread of the insect tide and the increase in number.

What made them feel even more desperate was that as the fighting continued, their comrades around them and around them began to suffer a large number of casualties, and their ammunition reserves were gradually exhausted.

The communication channels were filled with desperate pleas for help, calls for help, and requests for evacuation. Morale plummeted in this atmosphere.

We have to admit that although the Araki Zerg in the “Starship Fleet” universe are called the “weakest Zerg”, they are after all powerful beings capable of interstellar navigation and sweeping the galaxy.

The warrior bugs that charge forward have sharp claws that can tear through steel, and a hard shell that can withstand small arms attacks.

The important part responsible for controlling combat, movement and receiving the will of the insect swarm, the brain, is also protected in multiple ways to ensure normal reception of instructions and coordination of the insect swarm.

The tiger bugs, which are not as numerous as the warrior bugs but cause great trouble to the motorized infantry, are the “comprehensive upgraded version” of the warrior bugs.

Their shells are designed to be stronger enough to withstand attacks from heavy weapons, and their movement speed is almost the same as that of warrior bugs.

The amount of ammunition required for the Morita firearms used by ordinary mobile infantry can be imagined when facing tiger insects. It is undoubtedly a “thankless” task to kill them.

In other words, commandos equipped with AMWS (modular) firearms can use individual soldier systems and mechanical skeletons with auxiliary aiming, as well as high-explosive armor-piercing projectiles to accurately shoot through the nerve centers of tiger insects, so that they can completely lose their combat capabilities. Complete an effective kill. Not only that, those huge tank bugs are the “natural enemies” of federal armored units. They can be said to be both offensive and defensive. While they are extremely destructive, they are also extremely difficult to kill.

Moreover, their high-temperature flames also have a long range. As long as the federal armored units fail to kill them immediately, they will face the end of being covered and devoured by the flames.

Therefore, the existence of tank bugs means that the federal main battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and the Campbell administration’s explosion-proof vehicles are particularly vulnerable to the insect tide.

Those larger tank bugs crushed the federal armored units in all directions.

Judging from the quantity, quality and staggering breeding speed, the Arachi Zerg is indeed a qualified Zerg.

If there were not more than 2,000 assault troops present, it would be difficult to hold on to the defense line for even ten minutes with more than 30,000 mobile infantry fighting against the raging waves of the Araki Zerg.

However, the capital city’s eastern front seems quite solid at this moment.

After all, the commander-in-chief responsible for the defense of the east end is the superhuman Maggie Shaw.

——

Boom. Boom——! !

The deafening explosions of plasma cannons roared throughout the eastern front, as if the heaven and earth were shaking.

The heat wave and debris generated by the explosion splashed out, reflecting the nervous and determined faces of the soldiers.

Ta-ta-ta! !

“Ah! Die! Die!!”

“Fake! You want to eat bullets?! You want to eat too?!”

“Hold on! Hold on! Wear these bastards to death!!”

The soldiers, mercenaries, and police officers deployed in apartment buildings, office buildings, and various buildings were like ferocious beasts, roaring at the top of their lungs, and pouring ammunition out of the windows without hesitation, letting loose as much as they wanted. with their anger and fear.

puff! Pfft——!

With the sound of gunshots, the insect tide was attacked by a dense rain of bullets. Groups of insects fell instantly. Green blood soaked the entire street like a dirty river, filling the air with a pungent stench.

Broken limbs and claws are scattered everywhere, forming a horrifying “picture”

In the corners of various buildings, there are even “mountains of corpses” ranging from five to ten meters piled up, forming excellent “springboards” and “ladders” for their kind.

hiss–!

Those insects that didn’t understand fear were still howling, trampling on the corpses of their kind, and charging towards the middle and upper floors of the building.

This puts increased pressure on the soldiers who rely on buildings to serve as bunkers and fortifications.

However, just as more than a dozen tiger insects were preparing to use the mountain of corpses to attack the fire point on the seventh floor of an office building——

Puff——Puff————! !

Following a violent crash, the tiger insects were suddenly smashed into pieces by an afterimage.

The dozen or so tiger insects lost their form in an instant, their severed limbs and claws scattered like rain, and green blood dispersed in the air, instantly dyeing the surrounding walls green.

At this moment, the mobile infantry and assault soldiers at the seventh-floor firepower point realized that the afterimage caused by the extremely fast movement speed was their battlefield commander, Maggie Shaw.

“It’s Captain Shaw!”

“Woohoo!! We are saved!”

“Hahaha! Apes, continue to suppress the bugs with firepower!”

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

The morale of the soldiers suddenly rose after seeing Maggie appear in the area they were defending.

Although everyone was confused about why Maggie suddenly became like “Superman”, some non-commissioned officers also realized that Maggie might be a spy of the Human Empire, but in the face of a powerful enemy, Maggie, who was like “Superman”, was undoubtedly a shot in the arm.

Everyone didn’t care about those political struggles. Maggie was able to defeat all the tiger bugs at this critical moment with unparalleled speed and strength, directly demonstrating her peak superhuman combat ability, which made everyone feel that “we can handle it!”

So Maggie is like a firefighter who puts out fires everywhere. If she reports on the communication channel where support is needed, Maggie will rush to support with great speed and strength.

However, Maggie’s current image shocked everyone.

Her combat uniform and armor are already tattered, full of scratches and holes, which means that she has experienced extremely fierce fighting.

The tiger bug blood has dyed her “ragged” clothes green.

The once bright equipment is now in tatters, and there are even blood spots in several places, which also means that she, who has “iron bones”, cannot remain unscathed in the endless waves of insects.

“Huh”

Maggie, who was seriously exhausted, took a breath, and then said on the communication channel:

“Group 044 continues to hold the position and pay attention to the remaining ammunition. I don’t want to hear that you have to use your hands and feet to fight the insects in close combat before the support of the human empire arrives.”

“Yes, Captain!”

The sergeant in charge of commanding Group 044 responded loudly.

“Yeah.”

Maggie said nothing more. Looking at the waves of insects in the streets, she was ready to continue to use her own physique and strength to forcibly carve a bloody path.

Swish!

As Maggie ran, the sound of sonic booms came out.

Maggie, who turned into a residual image again, was in the sea of ​​insects as if she was in an empty space. There was no Arach insect that could stop her steps with physical strength.

However, several plasma artillery groups were “quietly” heading straight for Maggie’s way.

It seems that the insects also know how to call for orbital bombing, and the surrounding environment is so noisy that Maggie didn’t notice the incoming artillery group at all.

However————

Hu~——！ ！

Boom————！ ！

However, with a strong airflow, the several plasma artillery groups were directly offset by the raging fire.
