Chapter 1213: Weakness
Zhao Chen didn't hold back and tapped her on the head.
“We should have ten T6 Seraphim Ballista-class interstellar long-range hunters here right now,” Zhao Chen said, looking at Tao Beibei beside him.
Although Tao Beibei is only the captain of this starship, Emperor Zhao Chen is here after all, so she will also take on some of the duties of a secretary.
It's no coincidence that her starship was chosen as Zhao Chen's flagship.
This is because Tao Beibei was already on the list of candidates to be trained as a senior military officer.
That's why this opportunity came about.
Tao Beibei was naturally aware of this, so she would try her best to perform well here.
“There are ten,” Tao Beibei said.
"You are responsible for contacting the captains of the other nine Seraphim Ballistae and relaying my orders."
"Later, launch a unified attack on the area I command!" Zhao Chen said in a deep voice.
Tao Beibei's eyes lit up.
He immediately understood His Majesty's thoughts.
"Understood!" She immediately began to explain these things.
Soon, ten T6 Seraphim Ballista-class interstellar long-range hunter ships were already on standby.
All ten massive crossbows began charging, and dazzling "arrows" were ready to be fired!
"Chu Xuan, Xue Xiaoxiao... mobilize all the interstellar gunships and interstellar missile ships under your command to form two attack formations."
"Once the first wave of attacks by the T6 Seraph Ballista-class interstellar long-range hunter ships has ended, the interstellar gunships will immediately launch their attack! Afterwards, the interstellar missile ships will follow orders and provide fire support if necessary." Zhao Chen looked at the marshals and commanders on the command channel and issued his orders.
"Understood." Chu Xuan and the others also understood His Majesty's arrangements.
Given the current situation, this plan is the most appropriate.
Although I don't know what the outcome will be, I still have to give it a try.
What if it succeeds?
Even if they fail, the JF-17 will only lose some ammunition.
Compared to the other two, this attempt was entirely worthwhile.
Soon, everything was ready.
"All Seraphim Ballistae, listen to my command." Zhao Chen looked at the attack area drawn on the interstellar sand table.
This was synchronized across all interstellar warships.
The captains of the ten Seraphim Ballista-class interstellar long-range hunters, including Tao Beibei, awaited the Emperor's orders.
"At 6:20, three minutes after the start time, the launches will proceed sequentially from ship number one to ship number ten, with a ten-second interval between launches."
Do you understand?
"Understood!" Tao Beibei and the other ten captains replied in unison.
At this moment, everyone was staring at the time, watching it tick by.
The final time was only about five seconds away from the Emperor's requirement.
Tao Beibei was the first to raise her hand, her eyes like those of a hunter. Then, glancing at the ticking time, she decisively gave the order: "Fire!"
In an instant, a crimson arrow hurtled toward its target at incredible speed.
Before any collision occurred, the second ship of the Seraphim Ballista-class interstellar long-range hunter had already launched.
An explosion occurred in the distant attack area.
The dazzling flames were like fireworks bursting into existence.
Before [N O V E L I G H T] the first firework had completely dissipated, a second one appeared.
The ten T6 Seraphim Ballista-class interstellar long-range hunters fired at ten-second intervals, almost with perfect precision.
The total time taken was one minute and forty seconds.
Zhao Chen looked up and glanced at the scene in the video.
Because of the continuous explosions, it was impossible to determine the extent of the damage caused in the target area.
At this moment, Zhao Chen did not hesitate and issued an attack order to the second attack echelon.
"All interstellar gunships, target the designated area and unleash saturation fire!" Zhao Chen issued the second attack order.
Compared to the first attack, this second attack was far more terrifying in intensity and far more frequent.
Based on the area and effect of the explosion, it can be concluded that a very large "hole" definitely appeared in the area where the attack occurred.
All that's needed now for all the interstellar warships to do is accurately fire their shells into that "hole".
Zhao Chen stared at the scene.
This attack lasted for a full five minutes.
It eventually stopped.
The reason for stopping was not that the attacks by these interstellar gunships had ended, but rather that the objectives of the attacks had been achieved.
Zhao Chen glanced at the black and white image next to him.
It is quite obvious that a tree-shaped object located inside the large fleshy wall has been attacked.
This is Zhao Chen's goal.
Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need to consider anything else.
Now all we need to do is wait and see the results.
Zhao Chen and the generals of the Xiaolong were all waiting for the outcome of this attack.
Time passed little by little.
The smoke and dust from the explosion dissipated.
A huge cave suddenly appeared on the fleshy wall, looking very abrupt.
But it is real.
Deep inside the cave, you can see a large, burning tree-like creature.
It has many roots.
These are the tentacles that launched the attack just now.
But now, these roots are withering at a rate visible to the naked eye.
And this change is only just beginning.
The large fleshy areas surrounding this tree-shaped creature had all dried out.
The closer to the outer edge, the faster it dries up.
Soon, the outermost fleshy wall became like a riverbed that had dried up for many years.
It is gray in color.
After a short while, these dried-up areas crumbled like ash at the slightest touch and dissipated into the surrounding area.
This cracking is occurring in more and more arid areas and is spreading to other regions.
If giant sandworms exist in these collapsed areas, they will float in space and instantly lose their original ability to move.
They became sitting ducks, and were killed one by one!
"Oh my god!" Tao Beibei exclaimed, covering her mouth.
Zhao Chen said relatively calmly, "It seems we were right."
The existence of this Zerg nest is undoubtedly its core.
However, with such a large size, it would be difficult to grow to this size using only one core.
That means there might be other nodes that are similar to nodes.
This tree-like insectoid creature is such a node.
Their existence serves two purposes: firstly, to protect the Zerg nests.
On the other hand, it is to consolidate the framework of the Zerg nest and even expand outwards.
Once these large, tree-like creatures in an area are destroyed...
That area would also collapse instantly due to the loss of support.
Upon hearing His Majesty's explanation, Tao Beibei nodded in understanding.
All of what we just did was an attempt to realize this possibility.
The current result proves that their attempt was correct.
The area that collapsed at this moment far exceeded the area they had destroyed with their continuous firepower.
"Chu Xuan, Xue Xiaoxiao, you and the others continue to fight using this method."
"Use minimal ammunition output to open a shipping route as quickly as possible!" Zhao Chen issued the order to the two marshal commanders.
The path has been found; the rest is up to the two marshals.
