Chapter 18: The Tadarin Star Spirit
In the old but clean warehouse, there are a variety of equipment and weapons parked, but although these equipment and weapons are old or damaged, the soldiers who picked them up are still reluctant to abandon them easily.
No way, the current Rangers are living quite poorly, and even outdated weapons may be used for them one day.
"There's an order on Reynolds' side, and we're going to have to deal with the Star Spirit next time."
For the first time, there were traces of people in this dilapidated and unoccupied place.
"Zhao! Have you ever fought with the Star Spirit? ”
Chief Piris yelled at Zhao.
"Nope! Sir! ”
Zhao Yi replied loudly.
He didn't have any more thoughts about the commander's deliberate name-call, he knew his situation, an ordinary recruit, he was good for nothing but to survive a defensive battle against the insects.
"Do you know what a star spirit is?"
"I don't know! Sir! ”
"The Star Spirit is an alien race similar to humans. He's probably that tall. The two-meter-tall Chief Piris put his hand over his head, and then stretched his hand as high as possible, and after reaching the extreme, Zhao Yi finally saw the scale of the star spirit drawn by the chief.
Roughly three meters.
Three meters tall, even as tall as Pyris in battle armor may not be able to match the height.
"They are good at melee combat, they can tear a lot of things with a light knife in their hand, they can fight armor siege tanks, anything. They have plasma shields on them, similar to those used on battleships. And some of them will magic. Well, that's all. ”
Seeing Zhao Yi's forced look, Piris thought that he didn't know anything about the star spirit, so he explained a little bit of the star spirit to him very carefully, so as not to overwhelm him after meeting the star spirit and affect the whole team.
Star Spirit?
Zhao Yi set off ripples in his heart. In the timeline, the Rangers fight against a terrifying astral force on the planet Monlaith. This astral force believes in strength, and continues to improve its strength in battles year after year - because it is quickly defeated by the frontal attack of the insects and the surprise attack from behind the human in the battle. Of course, because of Jim Renault's powerful protagonist aura, the artifact guarded by this star spirit force finally fell into Renault's hands.
His thoughts turned, and he looked at the fleshy devil man in front of him: "Got it! Sir! ”
"Alright guys!" After seeing that Zhao Yi had a minimum understanding of the star spirit, Piris also put a little relieved: "If you want to drink, drink quickly!" Continue to practice combat skills. The mission will start in about a few days. ”

Icy cold, scorching. Two contradictory sensations arise at the same time, giving one a very bad feeling.
These are the Tadarin Star Spirits.
The Tadarin Star Spirit building on the ground is dominated by black with scarlet accents. It looks very eerie.
Renault was a little distracted for a while, looking at these somewhat familiar Star Spirit buildings. Unlike a Tadarin Spirit, Renault also knows several friends from the Mainstream World of the Spirits, such as Tasada, Atanis, Zeratul, and Phoenix. It's a pity that these few of his star spirit friends have either died, or traveled among the stars, or led the entire star spirit.
It's been a long time since I've been in touch.
"These spirits are very different from the ones we're used to."
Matt said.
"Whatever! Let's get off the boat and him!" ”
Tykes couldn't wait, and the smoke from his nostrils was about to blow out the stereoscopic projection of the star map.
Matt frowned slightly.
"Don't worry, Tykes, the stars aren't easy to get along with, we need to be good... Plan. ”
"Warning! Insect biological signals detected. ”
Almost at the same time as the word "plan" was spat out, the mechanical adjutant sounded the alarm. Matt frowned, tapped on the projection, and soon, something appeared in the projection that they wanted to see.
Countless insect creatures emerged from the ground, and at the same time, one after another airdrop bags appeared in the sky. They fall to the ground, sending a large number of advanced units of the Worm.
"Are these guys still drilling in the ground?"
Tykes wondered.
Jim glanced at his friend, then continued to look at the star map.
The Star Spirit Temple where the artifact is placed, the insects that march towards the temple in a big way, and the Tadarin Star Spirit who swears to protect the temple.
"Damn! Those bugs want artifacts too. Renault gritted his teeth: "Adjutant! Count the time it took for Tadarin to be defeated. ”
The metal woman's head turned slowly, and her upper and lower jaws began to close.
"The number of insects far exceeds the Star Spirit, and it is expected that the Tadarin Star Spirit will be defeated soon."
Soon~
In the past, the mechanical lieutenant would report the exact time, but now, she just said "soon". However, it only takes a little thought to understand why the mechanical lieutenant came to this conclusion.
First of all, the number of insects coming from high in the orbit has not yet been determined, and the Tadarin Star Spirit on the ground is the new Star Spirit faction that has been encountered for the first time. The only arithmetic parameters that can be used are the quantity ratios between them. Being able to be confirmed by the adjutant that the Star Spirit will be defeated shows that the number ratio is really huge.
The only thing Renault knows now is that there are many, many alien insects.
"Hey, we can't fight on two fronts, man."
"Of course." Renault looked back at the stereoscopic image projected by the projection, and soon he saw a possible opportunity.
The tall figure of the star spirit can't stretch out here, and the insects who like the group charge don't like it here.
Looking back at the other side, the insects and the star spirits fought on the avenue leading to the temple at the foot of the mountain, and on this side of the sheep intestine path, only a small number of insects fought with the star spirit fanatics.
"If we're lucky, we'll only need to fight against a small number of Star Spirits and Alien Worms."
Renault pointed to a small clearing away from the avenue of the Star Spirit Worm. "Let's deploy the forward base here and act quickly, maybe we can get that artifact before the star spirit reacts!"
Now that the plan has been confirmed, Matt quickly perfected Renault's plan, and as the Hubelion quickly cut into the atmosphere, the sudden appearance of the human ship almost attracted the attention of both warring parties.
The host of the insect continued to send the head of the airdrop sac, and moved slightly away from the steel behemoth that could easily kill him. And the Star Spirit does not have a fleet high in orbit, so I can't see any reaction from them.
Transport planes dropped a large number of Marines onto the ground, and in addition to the Marines, anti-heavy armor, anti-turret raiders, and siege tanks were dropped on the ground.
