The cruel war between eating and being eaten began quietly.
At this moment, the large number of Mechanicus fleets and orbital defense platforms parked in low-Earth orbit have become the first line of defense for the Forge World.
Countless laser arrays and powerful light spears launched a continuous bombardment on the huge Tyranid Hive Fleet.
Soon after, space torpedoes were rapidly launched towards the predetermined huge target!
The narwhal worm ships, which relied on their chitinous biological armor that was several hundred meters thick to withstand this terrifying firepower, also spewed out countless void combat units from their huge biological entrances.
Under the cover of the even larger Kraken, the Sentinel Bees and Escort Bees quickly launched a desperate assault on the huge fleet of the Mechanicus!
Even though the large number of defensive turrets within the Mechanicus fleet had almost turned into metal gyroscopes, forming a cross-barrage firepower network, it was still difficult to resist these Tyranids who had learned the Astartes' boarding tactics.
After dozens of Sentinel Bees smashed into the colorful void shield of a large metal ship and the biological hull was forcibly embedded in the heavy armor, the hundreds of knife worms carried by each Sentinel Bee would immediately invade the ship's passage, hacking and tearing apart any living thing within their field of vision.
At this moment, inside the large number of damaged ships, the vanguard soldiers of the Skitarii wearing heavy armor would launch raids in groups towards the direction of the enemy's invasion.
They are almost like mobile radiation sources, and are the most lethal combat units to the flesh-and-blood Tyranids.
However, just as a large number of Mechanicus ships and low-orbit defense platforms were being attacked and raided.
A larger number of narwhal warships also successfully passed through the first line of defense of the forging world.
Even though they will have to endure more horrific firepower and torpedo bombardment from surrounding ships.
But after countless narwhal warships dispersed, the first round of spore units, numbering hundreds of millions, had been successfully deployed! At
this moment, even the combat troops hiding in the trenches and even in many foundries could clearly see the biological spores struggling and wriggling in the air!
"All Hydra air defense platforms, open fire immediately!"
Rorschach, who was rapidly observing the battlefield situation in front of rows of light green projections, gave the order to attack without hesitation.
In an instant, a large number of quadruple-barrel anti-aircraft guns on the Hydra air defense platforms, together with a larger number of Tornado missiles, began to launch fierce strafing and bombing at the countless spores in the sky.
In a short period of time, the sky of the entire Forging World was almost completely obscured by the flames of the explosion and the thick smoke.
Even with such intensive ground firepower, many spores still managed to land successfully.
Those spores far away from densely populated areas were not completely eliminated by the quick-reacting ground forces, which also caused many Zerg combat units to gradually gather after breaking out of their shells.
About a few hours later.
The first massive wave of Tyranid swarms appeared on the light green projection in front of Rorschach.
Staring at the Tyranids that were baring their fangs and claws, Rorschach, with no emotion on his face, quickly said,
"The ground forces begin launching Hellstrike missiles and cyclone missiles to wash the ground with firepower. Let's first reduce the number of insects! Also, let all the logistics factories in the hive cities start the production of ammunition and vehicles!"
As soon as the words fell.
Countless Hell-Strike Missiles and Tornado Missiles launched continuous bombardment from inside the foundries towards the direction of the insect swarm.
The horrific and rolling flames and shock waves instantly submerged a large number of Tyranids and temporarily blocked their way forward.
In the following period of time, the missiles were launched continuously and the flames of explosions almost never stopped.
The advantage of being in a forge world is that as long as the industrial hive city does not fall immediately.
Then before the raw materials are exhausted, there will be basically no significant change in defensive firepower.
And as time goes by.
The Mechanicus fleet in the sky gradually fell into a disadvantage, and even countless low-orbit defense platforms were basically destroyed by the Tyranids.
It was not until this time that the true test for the Forge World Griffin IV came.
Boom boom
As countless biological robes continued to fall deep into the ground, numerous Tyranid units gradually stepped out of the cyst.
Perhaps the main fleet of the Tyranids had already learned the intelligence information about the Forge World in advance.
In just over a dozen hours, more than twenty living Titans, whose sizes were comparable to those of the Empire's Titan creations and were tens of meters tall, and the Tyranid Insect Saints appeared on the battlefield one after another!
And right beneath the huge arthropods of those Tyranid Zerg Saints, the Tyranid Zerg swarmed out like a purple tide!
At this moment, Rorschach slowly drove the power armor and stood up.
He looked up at the huge creatures that were vaguely visible to the naked eye.
Rorschach took a deep breath.
Immediately order the Griffin Titan Legion to attack freely according to the battlefield situation. Their only goal is to eliminate these enemy Titans that are powerful enough to break through the industrial city!
Rumble——
The next moment, the divine machines from the Mechanicus Titan Society slowly moved with extremely heavy and huge steps.
They gradually dispersed and launched more intense fire coverage towards the direction of the Tyranid Insect Saint like moving metal hills!
Boom boom boom!
Accompanied by waves of terrifying sound and scorching light that were enough to blow away countless buildings.
The most powerful laser weapon of the human empire, the 'Volcano Cannon', was quickly activated by a Sky Punishment Titan, and it directly crossed the entire battlefield, and with just one strike, a Tyranid Bug Saint that was galloping forward was paralyzed!
At the same time, the knight armors from the Winter Clothes Knight Family and the Cadmus Knight Family also launched a defensive mission around the God Titans like agile mobile vehicles.
As Knights, their only duty is to prevent the endless Tyranids from threatening the Titans themselves!
Almost at the same time, countless Hell-Strike Missiles launched from a large number of foundries once again landed inside the Tyranid positions, causing even more terrifying explosions and flames.
At this moment, the Titan Legion gradually took action on the battlefield under the suppression of powerful firepower.
Using ten Warhound-class Titans and twenty Predator-class Titans as an assault formation, they continued to hunt down the Titan-class units of the Tyranids.
The War General-class Titans and Sky Punishment-class Titans that were responsible for supporting the rear continued to use the terrifying firepower weapons installed on their huge limbs.
Repeatedly interfering with any Tyranid Zerg Saints who wanted to engage in close combat with the attacking Titan formation!
However, just when the situation on the entire battlefield seemed to be gradually tilting towards the Human Empire.
The light in the sky gradually dimmed.
More narwhal warships dropped batches of spore units like a heavy rain!
At this moment, a terrifying tug-of-war of production and endurance has just begun!
Thank you for your support!
