Imperial Army Fleet flagship · T2 Fire Leopard-class Medium Interstellar Battleship · Bridge
"What is that starship doing?!" Captain Victoria Shaw watched in surprise as the Blizzard Zero charged directly toward a T2 Zerg Nest Mothership, with a small group of Zerg in front of it.
"It looks like… it looks like it's going to crash into it…" Commander Elena Vance was dumbfounded.
Captain Shaw said with a solemn expression, "The Blizzard Zero's main cannon should take about five minutes to reset and reload. Only three minutes have passed since the last shot, so the main cannon cannot be used yet. It must have lifted its starship engine restrictions; its speed is estimated to be over 130 knots!"
In just a few minutes of observation, Captain Shaw had already figured out some combat information about the Blizzard Zero. And at this moment, they were all silent. Their eyes were fixed on the video screen, watching the starship, like an ancient knight ready to die, about to charge into the enemy ranks!
The Zerg guarding the T2 Zerg Nest Mothership also sensed the danger at this moment and immediately transformed into a 'black whirlwind' and rushed over, attempting to intercept the starship. At the same time, the T2 Zerg Nest Mothership's abyssal maw slowly opened, aiming at the rapidly approaching starship. Bio-plasma cannons began to charge in its abyssal maw, flashing with blue light.
Meanwhile, the Blizzard Zero had already charged head-on into the Zerg swarm!
From the perspective of Captain Shaw and the others, the Blizzard Zero plunged into the Zerg swarm, but because the Blizzard Zero's speed was extremely fast, even surpassing the speed of T1 Flying Bugs and T2 Hydralisks. What would it look like when two high-speed moving objects collide? One side would be torn apart.
And now, these Zerg were playing that role. T1 Flying Bugs and T2 Hydralisks crashed into the Blizzard Zero's hull, and before they could even attack, they were turned into a puddle of flesh, their green fluid becoming the Blizzard Zero's new paint job.
And the crew members inside the Blizzard Zero at this moment personally experienced the feeling of being in a storm. In any part of the starship, a continuous 'thump, thump, thump' sound could be heard, and the ground beneath their feet was shaking.

"Report, frontal hull armor overall damage reached 10%… 12%… 14%…"
"Report, flank hull armor overall damage reached 3%… 5%… 7%…"
Crew members continuously reported various hull conditions. The continuous 'thump, thump, thump' impact sound in their ears made many crew members on the Bridge feel as if a shadow had fallen over their hearts.
Charlotte, as the temporary captain, however, had a crazy look in her eyes at this moment; her long-dormant blood was burning!
"What's the current speed?!" Charlotte asked loudly.
"Speed is 135 knots… Although the speed has been somewhat affected by the Zerg impacts, our starship's speed is still gradually increasing… Um… do we still need to accelerate?" The crew member responsible for speed control was already sweating profusely. Looking at the number that had turned red and was still constantly jumping, she felt her heart beating several times faster than usual!
"Continue to accelerate!" Charlotte said.
Charlotte looked at the video footage transmitted from outside the starship. To be honest, there was actually no image visible now, only a pitch-black expanse, because the entire outside of the hull was covered in Zerg! They were moving against the flow within the Zerg swarm! Due to the extremely high speed, these Zerg simply could not cause effective damage to the hull armor; the only effective damage might be their suicidal impacts.
Although not visible, on the starship radar, the Blizzard Zero was getting closer and closer to that largest energy signature.
Finally!
The scene before them brightened—breaking through the darkness!
The Blizzard Zero burst out of the Zerg swarm, and the T2 Zerg Nest Mothership opposite was almost 'within reach'. The T2 Zerg Nest Mothership was opening its gaping maw, its bio-plasma cannon almost ready, about to fire!
"All secondary cannons, point-defense cannons! Full firepower!" Charlotte roared.
The secondary cannons and point-defense cannons, already prepared, fired simultaneously. The bio-plasma cannon also fired, and the two collided, forming a spectacular fireball effect and a large cloud of smoke, with the sweeping shockwave blowing away the scattered Zerg far and wide.
A few seconds later, the Blizzard Zero burst out of the explosion's smoke.
"Ram it! Keep firing the point-defense cannons!" Charlotte roared!
The crew member next to her immediately used the ship-wide communication and shouted, "All hands prepare for impact! Repeat, all hands prepare for impact!…"
All crew members on the Blizzard Zero immediately prepared for the impact, grabbing onto anything they could to steady themselves.
The next moment, the rapidly charging Blizzard Zero directly crashed into the bow of the T2 Zerg Nest Mothership. The size difference between the two was actually several times over. But don't forget—what kind of hull did the Blizzard Zero use? That was the hull of an Interstellar Battleship, and its average hull strength was second only to an Interstellar Frigate among hulls of the same class. Coupled with the speed boost, this directly turned the Blizzard Zero itself into an accelerated 'starship projectile'.
Under the terrifying impact force, the T2 Zerg Nest Mothership's bow directly caved in, and at the same time, the entire Zerg Nest Mothership hull shifted to one side. Meanwhile, the Blizzard Zero's point-defense cannons were still firing relentlessly.
On the Blizzard Zero's Bridge, several female crew members, due to the sudden collision, lost their grip and were thrown through the air, falling heavily to the ground, sprawling on their backs. Fortunately, they only suffered minor injuries. Ignoring their injuries, they immediately returned to their combat stations.
"Report, frontal hull armor overall damage reached 50%!"
"Report, speed decreased to 100 knots… 90 knots… 80 knots…"
"Report, the Zerg swarm behind us is catching up!"
Charlotte said nothing, just stared! It was as if, at this moment, her eyes could penetrate the hull armor and meet the gaze of the T2 Zerg Nest Mothership before her.
Finally, under the violent impact, the T2 Zerg Nest Mothership's position shifted. As the Blizzard Zero's hull rubbed against the T2 Zerg Nest Mothership's hull, the two ships scraped past each other.
"Full speed ahead! Keep charging!" Charlotte immediately shouted.
With no obstacles blocking it, the Blizzard Zero began to accelerate its course again, this time heading toward the main battlefield where the Imperial Army fleet was located. Behind it, a large swarm of Zerg, like a black tide, pursued.
As for the T2 Zerg Nest Mothership that was hit, one-third of its bow had collapsed, and one side of its hull was riddled with numerous bullet holes. From the looks of it, this bio-starship was already on its last breath.
Who would have thought that a T2 Zerg Nest Mothership would be 'rammed' to death by a T2 starship? Was this… luck?

"All T2 Young Bee-class Light Interstellar Drones and T2 Bumblebee-class Heavy Interstellar Drones, gather and tear open a gap for the Blizzard Zero! Have the Imperial Army fleet coordinate with us." Zachary Chase watched the Blizzard Zero gradually approaching on the starship radar.
At this moment, there was still a Zerg battle line obstructing them. The Blizzard Zero's situation was still somewhat dangerous, with a Zerg battle line in front and a swarm of Zerg pursuing from behind. It was like a sandwich, where a slight misstep could lead to being completely devoured by the Zerg.

Actually, even without Zachary's message, Captain Shaw knew what to do. She issued orders with a serious expression!
"Pass on my order—at all costs! You must tear open a breach for me!"
