The festered legion that surrounded the celestial wreckage like a swarm of insects was disrupted by a small battleship. It turned out that Hao Ren's judgment of these "Mad Lord derivatives" was correct: they seriously lacked the ability to think rationally. Even if they had any remaining thoughts, they had all given way to violent destructive tendencies. If there was a more "eye-catching" and more threatening target appearing in their perception range, these monsters would immediately divert their attention and launch a meaningless pursuit.
Of course, this kind of "strategy" was not omnipotent. The reason why the festered legion could still be called a "legion" was that they had at least the ability to unify and coordinate their actions. They would be interested in new targets that appeared in their perception range, but they would not give up their real purpose of fighting.
Therefore, the encirclement around the celestial wreckage was only chaotic and torn apart, but not all of them followed the Petrachelys into space.
But this was enough: all Hao Ren needed was to create a gap in the encirclement.
On the green land covered by the planetary debris, the sprites clearly saw what was happening in space. They saw the silver-white battleship that suddenly appeared, saw the battle between the silver-white battleship and the "bad guys", and saw the battleship bravely charging into the enemy army alone. The sprites were deeply moved by this brave and fearless battle and cheered for this "ally" of unknown origin. While they cheered, they watched helplessly as the silver-white battleship made a circle among the enemies, then turned around and flew away …
"It flew away! It flew away! The battleship actually turned around and flew away! "
"It's not here to help. It just got lost and accidentally barged in! We are still doomed! "
"We are going to die, we are going to die, we are going to die …"
"Can't you say anything other than 'we are going to die, we are going to die'!"
"Wait a minute, look! There seems to be something coming out from behind! "
While the sprites were making a ruckus again, there were still some sprites who were watching the situation in space carefully, so they immediately noticed the strange things that were emerging from the dark background of the universe.
At first, the noisy sprites did not hear the shouts of their compatriots, but after a while, they all quietened down, because the things that emerged from the background of the universe were not just one or two, but thousands upon thousands of them. Soon, it reached a point where they could not miss it no matter what …
Countless sparkling "light films" appeared in space. After the light films faded, the silver-white spacecraft, which looked like a combination of insects and machinery, finally showed their ferocity. They were like reapers coming from the shadows, or like a swarm of insects eyeing their prey. These cold and merciless metal creations, with a suffocating aura, stared at all the festered monsters in an endless array.
In an instant, the besiegers became the besieged.
Even the festered, who lacked the ability of logical thinking, could not help but hesitate in the face of this sudden change. But before this moment of hesitation passed, the armed drones had launched an unreserved attack. They carried a double-barreled main cannon that was one-third the size of themselves. Apart from the necessary energy, propulsion, and shield devices, the entire body of the drone was built for this main cannon. They were mobile turrets, ready for battle from the day they flew off the production line. At this moment, the opportunity to fight was finally in front of them. The bright light of the drone swarm could finally illuminate the battlefield!
Thousands of muzzles were spewing deadly energy beams, and silent explosions bloomed in every corner of the battlefield. The festered finally reacted at this time, relying on their war instincts to launch a frenzied counterattack. But their formation was completely messed up.
These minions of the Mad Lord had completely destroyed their original formation in order to pursue the previous enemy. There were many obvious gaps and dislocations in the dark army, and a large number of monsters in the outer area of the encirclement had moved to a position that did not belong to them, which further exacerbated the chaos on the battlefield.
The drone swarm did not let go of this advantage, and under the effect of the war command set, they quickly amplified this advantage. With super agility and the ability of short-distance warp, the drone swarm quickly found the dislocations of the festered monsters and launched a fierce attack. Then, they rushed into the enemy's formation from these weakly defended places and wreaked havoc.
From space, this scene looked like erosion and devouring: the silver-white drone swarm seemed to wrap a mass of loose black sludge like mercury, and invaded through the cracks on the surface of the black sludge. As they invaded, they devoured, and the silver-white was like a spreading flame burning the black sludge.
The festered monsters would not sit still. While they had lost the initiative and position advantage, their own counterattack was already quite powerful. The armed drones were not a very strong combat unit. While they had powerful main cannons and super agility, it still did not change the fact that they were fragile.
But the drone swarm was huge, so huge that it was hard to count how many drones there were on the battlefield.
When the number of the nest reached a certain number, their proliferation rate would far exceed the speed of counting, and when the warp link was unblocked, the speed of their delivery would far exceed the speed of your brain processing!
So the drone swarm began to use their huge numbers to overwhelm the festered monsters, who also liked to overwhelm their opponents with numbers.
Countless drones were hit by the filthy energy beams or flesh cannons, instantly turning into bright flames. But the destruction of each drone often meant that dozens or even hundreds of new drones had entered the battlefield.
The shimmering light film in space continued to shine as wave after wave of armed drones deactivated their stealth mode and joined the battle.
Further away, the sudden flash of light that signified the end of the warp jump was like a bright galaxy fluctuating violently. That was still a continuous stream of reinforcements from all over Star Cluster X and the home planet of the Executors.
As he observed the minions of the Mad Lord in space, Hao Ren realized that the waters here were very deep, and he was now in deep water. So he decisively ordered the drone swarm to reinforce before Nolan went to the battlefield.
The drone swarm had now taken root in nearly one-fifth of the area of Star Cluster X, and countless nest factories were producing combat units day and night. There was absolutely no shortage of soldiers, and the battlefield was not too far away from the area controlled by the drones. The drone swarm had received the order to participate in the second half of the battle.
While they would certainly be much later than the drone swarm that were hiding around the battlefield in advance to observe, it seemed that they were not that late.
The drone swarm almost "wrapped" the entire battlefield into the battle, and the silver-white light engulfed the black army inch by inch.
The sprites stared blankly at the sky. Ninety percent of their vision was silver-white.
"To be honest, it's a little weird …" In space, Hao Ren's Petrachelys had long left the main battle zone and was watching the real-time images from the drone swarm on the edge of the battlefield. He saw that the minions of Chaos initially fought back with their frenzied "will" and ferocious attacks, but they were quickly defeated by the drone swarm's interspersed blockade and numerical suppression tactics. "These monsters … look ferocious, but they are all attacking indiscriminately. Even those majestic looking battleships can't fire a few decent shots, and the minions around them don't have any decent coordination or cover. To be honest, while the drone swarm has the numbers to crush them, these monsters shouldn't be suppressed like this … If they had a little bit of strategy, they wouldn't be like this. "
"How can something that has been contaminated by the Mad Lord have any strategy?" Vivian crossed her arms. "Didn't Lockmarton also go crazy in the end?"
"I'm just lamenting that these minions of the Mad Lord who have flown into space are not much stronger than their distant relatives on the ground … At least in terms of intelligence, there's not much change. This is not a challenge at all."
After saying this, Hao Ren did not say anything else but focused on the image displayed on the holographic projection. Because the battle had reached its final moment, he wanted to see how the monsters were killed.
The army of corrupted mutants had almost collapsed in the face of the crushing attack of the armed drones. Pieces of burnt flesh and twisted metal wreckage were everywhere in space. Many of the wreckage hit the space continent's energy shield and instantly evaporated into a puff of smoke. The last group of monsters was being wiped out by the drones' superior firepower at a speed visible to the naked eye.
They fought back frantically, scurrying in chaos, trying to break the encirclement of the drone swarm from all directions.
Hao Ren watched the scene quietly.
Then he saw these blind monsters suddenly stopped moving for a moment, and then launched a breakout in one direction.
The smaller fast-moving units charged in front as cannon fodder and meat shields, while some swollen sarcomas with special abilities floated around the formation to provide energy protection. The only remaining black battleship of the monster army was in the middle of the formation, and it began to use its more efficient sub-cannons to wipe out the nearest drone swarm.
Hao Ren's calm expression instantly froze.
But that was the end of the breakout force's struggle. Although they showed a strange order at the last moment and produced some results, the number of armed drones was just too many.
The black battleship and its escorting monsters were shot by millions of cannons, and they were wiped out in a matter of seconds.
The chaotic battle was over, but in the last few seconds, Hao Ren was left with a huge hole.
