"Grand Admiral Thrawn, one of our fleets has not responded for three Terra hours. It seems that it has been attacked by the enemy. We now plan to send a fleet to provide support." An officer in a gray uniform stood in front of Grand Admiral Thrawn, holding up a document and reporting.

"Colonel Grace, you are in charge of this matter. Those bugs are much more troublesome than we thought." Thrawn frowned and stared at the latest combat intelligence in front of him, then responded lightly.

"Understood, sir." The man called Colonel Grace nodded, then turned and left, while Thrawn was still staring at the latest report on the Zerg at his desk.

According to the current speculation about the Zerg fleet's route, the Zerg will attack from two different directions at the same time, which just confirms Thrawn's conjecture.

He murmured to himself in a low voice: "The enemy's attack direction, they should be planning to attack the eastern border area of ​​the empire."

"Sir! Lord Guilliman is communicating with us!"

Just as Thrawn was thinking, the communication request from Macragge's Glory was connected, and what came into view was Guilliman's face, which was as delicate and masculine as an ancient Roman art sculpture.

"Greetings to you, Master Primarch." Thrawn said respectfully.

"I didn't expect the Empire to allow demihumans to serve as fleet commanders. The Empire is very open-minded in this regard."

Guilliman looked at Grand Admiral Thrawn's light blue skin and deep red pupils and complained.

"Master Primarch, do you have any orders for us to carry out?"

Thrawn ignored Guilliman's sarcasm and asked directly:

"Yes, our fleet's think tank has detected a huge gathering of psychic forces within the Zerg fleet we are facing. The Warp power contained in it is enormous. The enemy's main force should be in our direction. We need to rebuild our defense line to deal with the enemy's next offensive." Guilliman said solemnly while looking at Thrawn.

There was a hint of anxiety and worry in his eyes, as if he had foreseen what might happen in the future.

He knew that this battle would be very difficult, but they had to go all out to achieve the goal of defending the empire's territory.

Guilliman took a deep breath and continued, "Once the enemy breaks through our defenses from any direction, we will have to sacrifice several sectors to shrink our defenses. At the same time, when shrinking our defenses, we will also have to implement the tactic of building walls and clearing the fields to prevent the enemy from obtaining any resources."

His voice was deep and firm, full of determination and courage. He knew that this would be a cruel war and they would have to pay a huge sacrifice to win.

As Guilliman's voice sounded, a speculative map of the Zerg fleet's advance route appeared on the screen nearby.

On the screen, countless red lines intertwined to form a complex network, representing the possible travel path of the Zerg fleet.

Every red line means a possibility, and every choice will affect the development of the entire battle situation.

Guilliman stared at the screen, studying every red line carefully, trying to find the best defensive strategy.

His brows were furrowed, and he kept thinking about various options in his mind. He knew that time was running out and they had to make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"My Lord Primarch, based on our intelligence department and known evidence, we have concluded that there should be a queen among the Zerg who is similar to a leader and controls the entire swarm." Grand Admiral Thrawn reported to Guilliman in front of him.

"Our next strategic approach should be based on defense rather than offense. We must first obtain intelligence on the enemy so that we can develop countermeasures against the enemy's attack."

………………

While Guilliman and Thrawn were talking, Mikael had already led his team into the Void Whale.

Although jumping into a Zerg ship might seem like a foolish decision, it is the only way to break the stalemate at the moment.

Prior to this, the Military Affairs Department had conducted in-depth research on the Zerg's command network structure.

They found that if they wanted to completely eliminate the threat of a swarm fleet, the first priority was to cut off the fleet's node organisms.

Once the node organisms are successfully cut off, it is equivalent to severing the enemy's command system, causing the Zerg to fall into chaos and eventually be surrounded and destroyed by the Imperial fleet.

"In the name of the Emperor! Charge!"

High-temperature molten rays shot fiercely at the Void Whale from the boarding ship. The scorching light burned like the sun, burning the skin and flesh of the Void Whale into ashes, forming a huge gap leading to the interior of the Void Whale.

With the breakthrough of the boarding ship, the originally quiet interior of the Void Whale suddenly became noisy.

The bugs began to swarm towards the Space Marines who were coming to board them frantically. Their speed was astonishingly fast, like a raging torrent.

"Assault quickly! Don't get entangled with the enemy! Our primary goal is to kill the node creatures!"

Mikael looked at the countless swarms of insects pouring out of the flesh and blood channel and said solemnly.

He knew that these swarms of insects were just appetizers and the real threat was yet to come.

Their mission is to eliminate these insect swarms as quickly as possible, then enter the flesh and blood channel, find and destroy the node creatures.

Mikael quickly gave the order: "The assault guns lead the way! The rest of you provide cover around!"

As his order was given, a Terminator veteran holding an assault gun immediately rushed forward.

This Terminator veteran was experienced and had fought in many battles. Faced with the swarm of Zerg coming like a tide, he pulled the trigger without any hesitation.

The assault gun is a medium-caliber rotary automatic gun that uses an electric motor to drive the six barrels to rotate, and can fire a large number of bullets in a short period of time.

This weapon is very effective against groups of enemies, especially those in large numbers like the Swarm.

Dense rain of bullets attacked the swarm of insects, making crackling sounds.

Each bullet carried huge kinetic energy and easily penetrated the body of the Zerg.

The swarms of insects turned into pieces in the rain of bullets, and green blood splattered everywhere.

However, the Zerg did not retreat, and they continued to rush towards the location of the assault gun.

Seeing this, Mikael immediately ordered other soldiers to increase fire support and let the assault gun continue firing.

For a moment, the entire corridor made of flesh and blood was filled with gunshots, explosions, and the screams of insects.

"Ho ho ho ho ho!!!"

Realizing that things were not going well, the node creatures in the Void Whale also began to awaken their internal defenses. In the bloody biological corridor, monsters one after another crawled out from the walls, floors, or ceilings of the corridor.
