"Superstar Stage ......"

"The final stage of the Flood Demon has evolved into a stage that has the ability to travel faster than light and can independently carry out the whole universe to infect, but although this stage is generally called the superstar stage... But in fact, the gap in the middle is too big... From just being able to sail in hyperspace to the Great Ark that could directly infect the Star Path and destroy the Precursors, forcing the Precursors to activate the Halo Array to commit suicide..."Ian thought of the original Flood Demon Group in the canon set and weaponized the infected Star Path.

If we really get to that stage, I'm afraid I'll have to consider a galactic evacuation... However, the evacuation of this magnitude, and the situation that has eroded to that extent......

Ian shook his head, throwing that form of a pit out of his mind.

"It's true that the gap is too big..."

"Maybe for the forerunners, when the flood demons can carry out the free infection of the whole universe, it will be the time when the intelligent beings fall into the countdown to total defeat." Of course, it is also possible that 343 Industry is too lazy to write in detail......

"The battle is a tunnel battle with unknown terrain, are you all right?" When placing the lightsaber on her forearm, Ian saw the greatsword in Denissa's hand.

"Oh, this... Don't worry, with our arm strength and combat skills, we can use our strength even in a cave where we can only stand upright.

After all, demons don't like to fight in open areas, and it's not uncommon to be attacked indoors or in caves. Denisha smiled.

Ian walked behind him into the airborne capsule, a medium-sized airborne capsule used in a low-intensity and high-density environment, which could carry four mobile armor and four quadruped walking support combat robots.

This combat robot has a material storage module and four small armament modules.

This time, for example, it was equipped with a plasma flamethrower and a 60mm grenade launcher to provide fire support to the Marine Corps.

Well, the kind of fire support that burned the Flood clean.

"According to the scans, there are several vent-like structures in the vicinity, and infected Flood demons are constantly crawling out of them. In addition, this is also the closest location to the suspected corpse brain beast's lair, about two hundred kilometers all the way down. ”

"......" Listening to the CIC's announcement, the landing force was stunned for a moment.

"How much?" Ian patted his helmet, thinking he had misheard.

"Two hundred kilometers, sir, the shell structure of this place is more than a hundred kilometers thick, non-destructive sweeping, this is normal, right?"

“…… Also, why is there no normal landing battle here... Either you have to run a 20-kilometer marathon or you have to run 200 kilometers all the way to it... Wouldn't it be nice to have a regular gang fight..."Ian put on his helmet and sighed.

"There's no way, there are huge ships dozens of kilometers long on your side, even ancient creatures that have been operating for tens of thousands of years, and there is no normal." Denisha secures her body to the drop pod.

"All staff, the airdrop is ready."

"See you on the surface, then." Ian also immobilizes the body.

It didn't take long for the lights inside the drop pod to switch to red, and the holograms on the walls of the drop pod activated, showing the scenery around the drop pod.

"It's not going to be... emmmm… Does it cause discomfort? Ian looked down at the shield world beneath his feet.

"Next time, let's change it to a screen, this system is also the first time we use this system." Denisa's eyes twinkled as she looked at the surface forty kilometers below. "It's a little too exciting."

"Arrive at the drop site, drop the drop pod begins."

The airdrop indicator turned green, and hundreds of drop pods were ejected from the Enterprise's airdrop class A.

Another fresh experience... Ian looked at the approaching earth through the monitor on the inside of his helmet, feeling the acceleration and the increasing gravity just now.

"The height is twenty-five thousand, the angle is good, there is no anti-aircraft fire on the ground."

"The density of the air rises, and it bursts into the atmosphere."

"What a strange planet... The atmosphere is just over 20 kilometers away..."

"Stabilization wings unfurled."

Four full-motion air rudders pop out of the drop bay. Slightly adjust the angle of the drop pod breakout.

"The temperature of the body rises, and the cooling device is activated."

"The heat dissipation film unfolds."

"The height is fifteen thousand, the speed is Mach four, and the reduction wing is deployed."

"A dynamic reaction was detected on the surface, and the bomber fleet arrived at the predetermined position and began to open a landing field."

At an altitude of 10,000 meters, a formation of one and fifty Tu-22R bombers swept by. Drop massive amounts of white phosphorus incendiary and thermobaric bombs.

About three thousand tons ...

The low-resistance incendiary bomb was the first to bounce, blasting the ground into a sea of fire.

Countless flood demons wailed and died in the sea of fire, and then, the thermobaric bombs, which had been accurately measured and covered, reached a predetermined altitude, sprayed a huge amount of fuel, and mixed well with the ground air.

Subsequently, the delay tube ignited at the same time, detonating 150 1,000-kilogram thermobaric bombs that arrived at the scene at the same time.

Extinguish the fire, level the ground in one go.

"The bombing mission is complete, the tactical objectives have been fully achieved, and now we are returning." The leader of the bomber formation observed the situation in the bombing area.

Plants, floods, building wreckage, and flooding mushroom blankets within a radius of fifty kilometers were all incinerated.

The fire caused by the incendiary bomb was also extinguished by the subsequent thermobaric bomb, and the shock wave even blew away the combat-type flood demon ten kilometers away from the periphery of the explosion.

"Yes, this is the Jinpu,...... Allowed to return, hard work. ”

"This is Jinpu Air Traffic Control, communicating with the Airborne Forces of the Hellsong Warband. Air support has departed and is expected to arrive in 1 minute and 30 seconds.

After further consolidating the landing site, army armored units arrived. ”

"I understand, our troops will directly carry out the task of clearing the tunnel and hunting the corpse brain beast after landing, and the work of ensuring the retreat route will be handed over to you."

"Altitude 5000, parachute deployed."

The parachute above the drop pod unfolded, and with the braking engine that started to work, it quickly reduced the speed of the drop pod.

“3… 2… 1…”

The people in the cabin were combat-ready.

"Landing."

The explosive bolts of the four hatches detonated at the same time, blowing up four large hatches.

"Discover the Flood Demon and the battle begins." In the distance, a large sword raised a light machine gun and fired at the flood demon who crawled out of the vent.

"Well, then, let's go down from this place." Ian and Denisha walked over to a metal hole, and an ultrasonic scan of the armor showed that it was not only empty, but also super deep.

"There are a large number of small individuals approaching under the dynamic radar tactics, inferred to be infected floods, and slightly larger objects approaching in the rear, inferred to be aggregate floods." A large red dot appeared on Denissa's armor.

"Understand, let's get to work." Ian pulled out the Blaster Gatling from his waist, and the 15mm machine gun flipped out of his backpack and pointed forward.

"Start the magnetic shoe, snap mode. The gravity restraint device is activated, in the direction of gravity, directly below. Ian was the first to walk into the vent.

And the vents are perpendicular to the ground openings, so...

Now Ian is walking on the wall of the vent pipe perpendicular to the ground.

Later, the big swords also followed.

"Hold the line, fire!"

In the next second, the Marines lined up in a dense formation as if they were in the arquebus era and shot them to death, and the dense barrage swept the flood demons off the pipe wall like sweeping the floor.
