I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 297 The Wheel War Gradually Encroached

What appeared before the newly joined Zerg troops was a tragic and bloody battlefield.

On the thousands-kilometer-long battle front of the human fortress, three armies of different races are exchanging fire with the human defenders.

To the north there are large Tyranid forces, to the south a legion of greenskins, and to the east an army of rotting greenskin demons.

While the three armies were attacking the human fortress, they were also engaging in fierce fighting at the border between them.

To the south of the Zerg forces, in front of them was a red demon army attacking the fortress.

The Zerg commander ordered his soldiers to backstab the red demon troops without hesitation.

Faced with the alien troops blocking its offensive route, it chose to destroy them simply and brutally.

Soon, the Zerg commander discovered that these red-skinned creatures were more difficult to deal with than the green-skinned creatures he had encountered before.

Of similar size, these redskins are stronger and faster than the Tyranid soldier bugs, and ranged attacks seem to have little effect on them.

The opponent fanatically waved a huge scarlet weapon and rushed into the insect swarm, engaging in hand-to-hand combat.

Although these weapons were extremely backward and their fighting methods were extremely primitive, they were able to cause huge casualties.

Easily cut through the soldier insect's chitinous shell that is strong enough to resist bullets.

The injuries, which were not fatal, were able to kill the soldier bugs with strong vitality.

What’s even more bizarre is that after these red-skinned creatures were killed, their bodies turned into black smoke and disappeared, leaving no biomass behind.

The Zerg cannot get any supplies from the other side.

Such enemies are really annoying to the Zerg.

[Subspace creatures... have no hunting value... snatch the prey... competitors... must be eliminated...]

After thinking about it, a small part of the [Hive Will] that possessed the Zerg commander blacklisted these red-skinned creatures as those that must be eliminated.

Command the high-level soldier insects to go forward and wipe out these annoying creatures.

After paying the price of half of their high-level soldier insects, the Zerg troops finally wiped out this group of troublesome red-skinned creatures.

The Zerg commander, Tyranid Tyrant, even took action personally and killed the particularly powerful winged leader of the other side.

The gray swarm overwhelmed the Khorne Legion and took over the offensive line.

What greeted them was the pouring artillery fire from human artillery batteries and city walls.

Countless shells and scorching light beams formed a waterfall-like curtain of death, blocking the front line of the Zerg.

Like cutting potatoes with a knife, he cut the edges of the swarm piece by piece.

But the huge swarm of insects as a whole is still moving forward.

Eventually, thousands of soldier bugs broke through the fire network and entered the city's steel jungle.

Blocking their way forward were steel barricades, barbed wire, and trenches.

As well as bunkers and shooting positions of various sizes set up in the buildings.

Grenade launchers, laser guns, heavy machine guns, howitzers, electromagnetic cannons... countless weapons of all calibers poured down like a rain of bullets, accurately hitting the high-speed moving soldier insects.

A large number of soldier insects that had just survived the artillery bombardment turned into pieces and scattered on the ground in the blink of an eye.

The streets were instantly covered with Zerg body parts.

The soldier insects at the rear stepped on the piles of corpses of their own kind and ran wildly with terrifying screams.

They don't care about death at all.

There are endless numbers of them, more than human bullets.

As soon as one fell, several others would jump over the corpse and continue forward.

After all, relying on the advantage in numbers, one-third of the soldier bugs broke through the firepower network of human soldiers and reached the trenches and bunkers.

They were greeted by a group of tin-can tough guys wearing power armor, holding heavy bolter guns and shining power weapons.

A steel wall of God-forged Astartes warriors.

“Roar!~”

A group of Tyranid warriors were the first to break through the fire network and pounce on the Astartes warriors.

The Astartes warrior in front who was shooting with a bolt machine gun took a step back, and the Astartes with a power weapon in the back stepped forward and attacked with a sword.

Kill these ignorant Tyranid warriors with ease.

Astartes equipped with melee weapons blocked the front and acted as shields.

Equipped with long-range weapons such as bolters, melta guns, and plasma cannons, the Astartes are transformed into flexible and precise mobile turrets.

The Librarian Astartes who control psychic power roam around the battle lines, constantly casting blessing magic on their brother warriors or blocking the enemy's psychic units.

There are also Astartes priests who wield the power of faith and can bring the Emperor's glory to the front lines, enhancing the warriors' strength, giving them courage and healing their wounds.

The Astartes warriors worked together in perfect harmony, forming an unbreakable line of defense.

Like a solid gate, it firmly blocked the impact.

The Zerg's advance stopped here. No matter how large their numbers were, they could not break through this last line of defense.

Like material on a conveyor belt hitting a crusher, the vanguard of the swarm was constantly crushed.

The Zerg commander was not anxious even though he failed to break through the human defense line in one go.

In other words, the Zerg do not feel anxious.

Nor will there be fear or terror.

They will only execute and complete combat orders without emotion, always stable and efficient, and not be disturbed by any subjective factors.

The swarm of melee units continued to advance.

The ranged troops bombarded non-stop.

Highly toxic mucus, parasitic spores, living shells…all fell into the human defense line.

Most of the attacks were intercepted by the small shields on the defense line.

But the remaining small part still caused casualties to the human defenders.

A live artillery shell luckily broke through the interception and landed in the trench of the human defenders.

Hundreds of thumb-sized rodent bees flew out from the exploding living shells, whizzing towards the nearby human soldiers.

The rodent wasp's ferocious mouthparts can quickly bite through plastic steel armor. Even humans wearing fully enclosed armor can be immune to poison gas attacks and have excellent bulletproof capabilities.

But it was still reduced to a pile of bones within seconds after being gnawed by a large number of rodent bees.

"boom!"

High flames engulfed the trenches.

Burn the group of rodent bees along with several wailing mortal soldiers to ashes.

This is how we eliminated this group of terrible insects.

Similar situations occur from time to time on human defense lines.

Even with sophisticated defensive equipment, humans cannot completely avoid the damage caused by the Zerg's terrible biological weapons.

The garrison was losing men at an inexorable and "slow" rate - hundreds or thousands per minute.

Compared to the Zerg numbers that were decreasing by tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands every minute, this was already slow.

In order to ensure the solidity of the entire defense line, after a certain amount of casualties occurred, the human defenders had to actively retreat and shrink the defense line.

To ensure sufficient firepower density and resistance.

However, the position was inevitably compressed and eroded by the enemy bit by bit.

The defense circle is shrinking little by little.

From the outermost ring, to the second outermost ring, to the third ring, the fourth ring... under the successive attacks of wave after wave of Zerg, Greenskins and Demon armies, the human fortress is slowly falling.

However, this disadvantage quietly changed as the Hope Legion Command secretly issued a radical combat order.
