The light flickered in the air.
They were like starlight, but they were not starlight. They were dazzling and beautiful, but they only brought death and destruction.
Boom!!!
If there was a sound, it would be something like this, an extremely loud sound.
The light was like rain. When the countless crystalline flying machines spread out like a huge net, the rain of light poured down.
The light passed through space and collided with the first line of defence before them … the wall of rocks.
Light exploded, and stone fragments flew everywhere. The fortress built by the Incan swarm in the void was hit by the first wave of bombardment. Amidst the continuous flashes of light, the gigantic void wall was slowly dissipating.
The Primordial realm did not use any tactics. They did not attack from the side, nor did they use missiles that could turn. They did not approach the wall either. Instead, they launched a barrage of attacks from very far away.
Therefore, they would first attack the Void City Wall built by the swarm. This wall was not randomly put together. The swarm had specially selected some very strong minerals underground, and then used some special smelting to create a high-strength material. Therefore, it was not destroyed in an instant.
Of course, they were not originally used as walls. Instead, they were thrown at the Primordial realm's world like meteors. However, as the Primordial realm did not plan on avoiding them, the pile of rocks just happened to be used as walls.
It bought some time for the insect army behind.
"There are a lot of them … How many are there? A hundred thousand? Two hundred thousand? "
Cryopteris stood at the 'top' of the space station. Through a transparent wall, it looked at the flickering light in the space outside. It was thinking of a tactic.
More accurately, it was not Cryopteris who was thinking. Cryopteris was only a 'transfer station' right now. It was transferring the consciousness from afar to here to give orders.
"How far away are they? Around ten thousand kilometers … That's not very far, but they've maintained their distance … They're still cautious … Yes, the Primordial realm hasn't relaxed completely. They don't think the insect swarm has been completely paralyzed. "
"If they think the insect swarm hasn't been paralyzed, will they retreat? They probably won't … Instead, they might attack with all their strength, because that would mean that all their tactics have failed. They can only fight to the death. They'll attack even more ferociously … "
The conversation that seemed like it was talking to itself meant that Cryopteris had transferred more than one consciousness over. However, even if different consciousnesses were connected together, they could still work together very well.
"Anyway, let's just … throw those rocks out first."
The rocks in the air began to move.
An order was sent out from Cryopteris' location to the insect swarm in the surrounding space.
Although the nervous system was temporarily paralyzed, the organs and muscles of the insect swarm could still move, and they were able to receive orders.
When they could no longer receive orders from the nervous system, these organs would instead receive orders from creatures recognized by the swarm. This allowed them to move again.
… However, this was not perfect.
When the Roaring Beetle began to control the swarm, it realized that the swarm would not respond to its command immediately. Instead, they needed to wait for a certain amount of time.
About a few tenths of a second. This slight delay was fatal in battle, so Cryopteris needed to give orders in advance and take the waiting time into account.
But even so, there were still many problems. After all, the battlefield was ever-changing. Aside from that, the Explosive Howler Bug also found that there were many other problems. For example, it could not perfectly control all the bugs. If it were to give orders to the entire swarm, it would cause more delay, and some of them would not respond. It had to give orders in batches.
After some calculations, the Boileroom … or rather, the commander connected to the Boileroom believed that the swarm could only exert 70% or less of its power in this state.
Therefore, they did not intend to fight directly. Instead, they wanted to ensure that as many of their troops as possible survived before the insect swarm recovered.
Therefore, they came up with a strategy in their mind.
The meteorites in the air began to move.
There were no beetles dragging them. Instead, there were a large number of units behind the meteorites. They were called 'fire armors' and were mainly a variant of the exploding armors. They were like pillars that were embedded on the surface of the meteorites. They would burn their own lives and release powerful energy to push the meteorites forward.
Facing the rain of light, the meteorites began to move forward. Because they moved at the same time, the entire huge wall made of meteorites was moving forward.
However … as soon as the movement began, the meteorites began to explode and dissipate one by one.
Because they had been bombarded for a while, some of the meteorites only had a thin layer left. When these meteorites shattered, many holes appeared on the wall.
Through these loopholes, a large number of light balls flew out and flew towards the Zergs inside. However, they only killed one type of Zergs.
The flashing red Armor Burst charged forward and collided with the incoming bullets, turning into blooming fireworks along with them.
Under the interception of the Armor Burst, the other insects did not move forward. Instead, they quickly retreated.
"We need to draw them closer." Cryopteris said as he gave the order for a full retreat. All the insects began to retreat.
Their target was the barren world behind them … the rear.
Relying on the Armor Burst and the wall that was full of holes but not completely destroyed, the insects had already retreated to an altitude of over a hundred kilometers. They then circled around the Tumbler and flew to the other side.
At this moment, Cryopteris saw an extremely dazzling light in the distance. The stone wall had completely vanished under the light of the Primordial realm's barrage. Countless bullets passed through the point of explosion and flew towards the retreating insects.
The Armor Burst was unable to stop all the bullets. They flew into the swarm, and each explosion meant the destruction of a large number of units.
A huge beetle blocked the rear of the group. It spread its wings, and a large number of worms opened their mouths. However, the beetle was immediately reduced to dust when a sphere approached it.
"There's a conflict. They're slow to react. No, it's a problem with their control."
Cryopteris noticed this problem.
He could not directly give orders to the beetle and the worms within it, or the overall response would be very slow. He had to give the beetle and the worms two orders at the same time, but that would be far too slow. The two orders would cause some conflicts between them. For example, if two units received two orders at the same time, they would need more time to react.
The resulting mistake would be fatal. Cryopteris immediately gave out another order when he saw the barrage of bullets chasing after the insects.
"Leave them behind."
A portion of the insects remained behind. They stopped flying and fired at the barrage of bullets closest to them. At the same time, they used their bodies as a wall to block the barrage of bullets and continue chasing after other units.
When they were reduced to dust, the remaining insects had basically arrived behind the Tumbler. The Primordial realm army and their flickering barrage of bullets were blocked by the huge figure of the world.
The Primordial realm's attacks finally came to an end because they discovered that the Primordial realm did not chase after them.
The insects had completely circled around to the other side of the Tumbler. If the Primordial realm wanted to attack them, they would have to circle around. This clearly made the Primordial realm hesitate.
In reality, they should have been rather stunned since the very beginning because they thought the insects had been paralyzed, but they had begun to move again.
However, they could not just retreat like that, so they continued to attack. Very soon, the Primordial realm discovered that the insects were not fighting and were instead trying to retreat, so they attacked even more fiercely.
However, when they discovered that the insects had circled around to the other side, they hesitated again.
This seemed very much like a trap. Should they circle around and attack them?
Cryopteris believed that was what the Primordial realm was thinking. However, he still remained vigilant in case the Primordial realm suddenly decided to chase after them.
At this moment, Cryopteris also paid attention to the situation in the space station.
"You idiot! Place the nerve here and place the spare cells here. Poke it and sever it, and the spare cells will replace it. Do you understand? "
"Gah! You don't understand! That's not what the prompt said! "
Blood Mist and Scorpion were in front of the Courage System. A Void Cockroach lay below the Courage System. A large number of mechanical arms extended from the bottom of the system, dissecting the Void Cockroach.
"You two, is the treatment not done yet?"
Cryopteris' voice suddenly rang out from the system, giving them a fright. "Although we're safe for now, we don't have much time!"
"Gah?" Blood Mist said, "Are you free? Come and take a look. I think it's almost done … It's just … "
Boom!!!
Before he could finish, the entire space station shook violently. At the same time, Blood Mist and Scorpion felt the air around them being sucked in by a great force, flying in a certain direction.
"Gah!" The two of them, the Void Cockroach, and the Courage System all flew into the air at that moment. They were all sucked in the same direction.
"This … This is …"
After tumbling through the air many times, Blood Mist discovered that it was already in the void outside the space station.
