Chapter 1: Attack and Defense of Gear City
The dragon is also an insect, and it can be disturbed and ridden. But if there is a scale under his throat, and if he has a baby, he will kill. The dragon's neck has scales, and if it touches it, it will kill in anger.
I think the same is true for my new fifth-generation mecha, Reverse Scale, which is in the year 333 of the Guangwu Era, and the location is shown on the screen on the north side of Gear City.
According to the information obtained by the intelligence, this time the spore insect will dispatch a fleet-level mother insect swarm to attack Cogwheel City. We, the Queen of the Revolutionary Army, decisively decided to devote all the combat strength of the Revolutionary Army to the defense of Gear City.
I glanced at the time, and it was about 3 a.m. with less than 2 hours and 43 minutes left before the first arrivals of the spore insect contaminated herd. The temperature was as low as 0 degrees, and many of the revolutionary army mecha team members who were on standby here were frozen enough, shivering and crawling and half-squatting on the cold ground.
I'm worried that before the first batch of spore insect death squads arrives in Gear City, my Ninth Squad will be unable to fight properly due to frostbite.
"That large red patch looks like magma, but what's the deal with this anomalous low temperature?"
The gaps in the huge gears of Gear City were filled with bright red, hot, churning magma like huge waves, and huge bubbles erupted from its surface from time to time.
Cogwheel City is not under the jurisdiction of my team, so I am not familiar with the terrain here, and I didn't expect the brutal environment here before I set off.
"Captain Lin Mu, that's indeed magma."
Although the mecha soldier who spoke was 2 years older than me, he was still just a new recruit in my eyes, and he was stunned by his lack of actual combat experience.
"Mecha soldiers, let me ask you, why is this magma-baked Gear City so cold?"
This is my doubt, and it is also the doubt of the whole team of mecha soldiers.
"Answer the captain, the situation of this gear city is quite special, the builders who first built this city considered that the high temperature of the magma would cause inconvenience to the immigrants, so they made some means, and I heard that a refrigeration system was installed at the bottom of each gear, so it led to the current situation."
Listening to his tone, it seems that he has a fairly good understanding of the structure of Gear City.
"Gear City has been abandoned for so many years, and this refrigeration system is still functioning?"
I continued to ask questions.
"Although this gear city has been abandoned for many years, this refrigeration system uses a new fourth-generation nano core technology, and its service life is much longer than other systems."
"In that case, Vice-Captain."
I gave the military order loudly, and my voice was loud.
"Here! What instructions does the captain have? A strong man with a full beard stood up and saluted me forcefully.
"Order all staff to move forward, and direct the spore insects to pollute the herd."
"Yes! Captain, but captain, wouldn't it be easy for me to expose my target and become a living target for the polluting beast. ”
Uncle Hu is right, the advance staff is easy to be detected by the scouts of the spore insects, and it is easy to be besieged by them. But it doesn't make much sense to stay here any longer, for a mothership-sized swarm of spore insects, the damage from an ambush is a drop in the bucket.
Even if the revolutionary army is fully combatively invested, it is still a disadvantage ratio of 1 to ten, is the queen planning to give it a go?
Or are we all just her outcasts......
"Do you think the queen has transferred all the revolutionary army to defend this cogwheel city, and she is here to play an ambush?"
Uncle Hu paused, and then reacted.
"Could it be that the queen is planning to start a full-scale war!"
Uncle Hu is not unreasonable, but for the decision of the upper echelons, those of us who resist the gun, we only need to choose to obey, and there is no need to be too suspicious.
"I heard that the queen used to grow up in the slums of Cogwheel City......" a mech soldier chimed in.
Maybe that's the case, or maybe there's something else, but that's not something we should be thinking about, all we need to do is get rid of more spore insects.
After a morale-boosting session, I summoned my purple mech heavy artillery melee fighter to lead the Ninth Squad north. In the process of moving, although we encountered obstacles from other squads, due to my insistence, the other squad leaders did not make drastic hostile actions.
"Lin Mu! What are you doing? Unauthorized transfer from the combat area will be executed by the Queen. ”
A man's image flashed on the display screen inside my purple mech, and I immediately cut off the radio, turning off the advice I had with my fellow captain-level comrades.
"It's the same ending, and I decided to bury a few more spore insects."
"Let's go!"
As I commanded, the mechanical sound of the mech moving reached the tip of my ear, as well as the click of switching weapons, and the footsteps of the mech soldiers.
About half an hour later, I led the Ninth Team to the front line, and all of them climbed the rectangular wall of Gear City, which was far from the center of Gear City, the temperature was much warmer, and this place overlooked the whole of Gear City.
Although it has a wide field of vision, it is extremely easy to be besieged by spore insects.
The temperature is low, but the vision of Gear City is relatively clear under the double illumination of moonlight and magma, and the night vision effect of its own mecha is extremely stable, and I can basically see the whole picture of Gear City.
As far as the eye can see, the metropolis is now in tatters, made of many regular round gears with long diameters. The various luxurious complexes are more or less broken, and the gears are connected to each other, and if one gear can be turned, the whole city can be moved. Underneath the gears, is a sea of magma.
This is the whole picture of Gear City - a ruined city.
Suddenly, at this moment, the sound of radio waves-like interference came to my ears, and many small images appeared on the display radar of the mecha screen, and they were moving in the direction of my team in a regular manner. When I noticed the anomaly, I immediately reacted and took action.
"Report what's going on!"
"Captain Lin Mu, the scout of the spore insect has arrived in advance, the distance is about 2 kilometers, and it will arrive here in 2 minutes."
Vice-Captain Hu stayed inside the third-generation mech and radioed to me, and then informed the entire team.
Hearing this unexpected battle situation, all the members were like they had been beaten with chicken blood.
The ninth squad I led included my elite squad of 15 people, with 13 mechs in the second generation, and 15 in the third generation, including my purple fifth. The total combat effectiveness is still average-to-high, and I think it's relatively easy to clean up a group of spore insect scouts.
"Report the number and distribution of the enemy, all of them are in combat mode, and they are on standby for my orders."
"Yes! Captain, according to the number of squads displayed by the radar, about eight squads, are evenly distributed, and advance towards us in a square pattern. ”
The sound of the mech's weapon loading is very regular, and my squad of second-generation aircraft are all loaded with heavy machine guns, neatly arranged in a row on the fence, the muzzles are aimed at the sky, and the weapon shells are ready to fire lethal weapons and shells at any time.
Blasting spore insects into fragments and debris.
