Chapter 20: The First Victory

Transport planes flickered up and down, transporting boatloads of war materiel or soldiers armed to the teeth to the vicinity of the defensive line, and soon, under the distribution of the command center, Renault's rangers were clearly divided into two sides.

On one side, the SCV was rapidly building makeshift bunkers as a makeshift line of defense, while on the other side were a large group of raiders and siege tanks armed with EMP grenades.

Although Renault didn't want to fight on two fronts and chose to march from this small path, he always left some way back, so it was best to have a small number of siege tanks and fortress marines to guard against the sneak attack of insects.

"We're going to fight the Star Spirit now?"

Zhao Yi looked confused, and he looked around with a rifle.

"That's right!" "Don't be too quick when you encounter the Astrals, let the Marauders attack first - their EMP grenades can weaken the Astrals' shields and speed, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to lock on to them." ”

Every bit of experience from veterans is very valuable, Zhao Yi firmly remembered it in his heart, and nodded like garlic.

Even if Piris couldn't see him nodding under the mask.

The troops moved forward slowly and methodically, and as the team moved forward slowly and orderly, sensing began to appear on the psionic sensors.

That's the Star Spirit.

The astral spirits looked fragmentary, and when the Rangers discovered them, they also discovered the human army that coveted their artifact. Thin-numbered, they began to hover around the army, waiting for more friendly forces to arrive.

Soon, the psionic sensor sensed that hundreds of meters away, there were several huge beings, and the huge and mottled data was uploaded to the command center, and soon, the command center transmitted the analyzed information to each soldier's mask.

It was a few astral buildings.

It could be the Star Spirit Gateway, it could be the Crystal Tower, or it could be the Photon Turret that could easily beat a Marine into meat sauce.

It's stupid to send troops up to explore, and it's bad to risk soldiers when there are siege tanks. Jim Reynolds certainly wouldn't let that happen.

Siege tanks are erected, then bombarded with astral buildings with a terrifying range of long range in siege mode. Soon, the Star Spirit Building on the psionic sensor weakened slightly.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

The earth-shattering cannon roared to the ears of every Marine and Marauder, and they didn't feel harsh because of the strong noise resistance of their battle armor.

The fact that the human troops could shoot so far was really beyond the expectations of the Tadarin Star Spirit, and what was reflected on the Marines' psionic sensors was the small light spots representing the Star Spirit troops moving chaotically and rapidly.

Soon, the light points of the two Astral Spirit Buildings disappeared from the sensors, proving that the two Astral Spirit Buildings had been successfully pulled out.

The number of gathered Star Spirits soared to the number of fifty!

How destructive can fifty Tadarin Star Spirits be? In fact, Zhao Yi didn't have any bottom in his heart. In Zhao Yi's memory. The ability of the Star Spirit to be a single individual is far superior to that of humans and insects. Unlike the insects who win by numbers, each individual star spirit is very powerful. They are good at winning with quality.

Every Marine and raider present was on full alert, and Zhao Yi found that from the beginning, only half of the siege tanks were firing.

These non-firing siege tanks are supposed to surprise the oncoming Astral Zealots.

There were already seventy or eighty of the assembled Star Spirits, which was obviously one to two compared to the number of Rangers' Marines and Marauders. And they also thought that they could completely annihilate this human force that was twice as large as them, and they began to approach the human force in an orderly manner.

"Boom !!"

"Boom !!"

Two blue lights suddenly flashed in the sky, which were the light and heat generated by the explosion of the Star Spirit Building.

"How dare these humans destroy our buildings! We're going to put them to death! ”

The angry fanatic shouted at his companion, and as soon as the words fell, an extraordinarily grumpy fanatic no longer swept slowly to the proper distance of the charge, and he ran straight away, pouring psionic energy into his legs.

"Chirp!"

The zealot's feet, with two psionic aftermaths like scarlet ribbons, rushed towards the human forces they couldn't even see.

The reckless actions of this fanatic aroused the fighting spirit of all the fanatics at once. Hope. Imbued with psionic energy and increasing movement speed, the warriors quickly disappeared in front of their eyes as afterimages in the eyes of the slayer.

The Slayer only has four mechanical legs, but he doesn't move fast! The Killers, who were also eager to drink the blood of the invaders, reluctantly overdrew the spiritual energy in their bodies in exchange for rapid movement and flashing to close the distance.

Soon, the fanatics sensed the location of the human troops through their psionic powers, and at this time, they held their breath and continued to charge. However, the continuous charge had caused their speed to begin to decrease significantly. Soon, the most powerful and reckless fanatics of the group appeared before the human forces.

An EMP covered shot from the howitzer in the hands of the Marauder, specially designed to fight the fearsome zealots of the Starlings, is on full display here. The exploding EMP grenade generates an EMP stance that weakens the shield and psionic energy of the Astral Spirit unit, along with the warped stance that can be generated by a regular grenade. In an instant, the Zealot, who had lost most of his speed shield and psionic energy, was in the dark.

Marines can easily target Zealots and fire accurately, while siege tanks can fire shells at them.

Dadada!!!!

Bang bang bang!!!!

Boom Boom Boom !!!!

Jim Reynolds, who was far away in the command center, saw the boys under his command wasting firepower like this, and his face suddenly turned a little pale - grenades with EMP ability are not ordinary expensive!!

Fortunately, the raiders also knew that the grenades they fired were expensive, so after two rounds of shooting, they gave up, allowing the Marines and siege tanks to continue to use their remaining heat. After a while, the light on the psionic sensor was more than half missing.

The ground was riddled with cannonballs, and the armor, weapons, and parts of the body that represented the star spirits had been reduced to dust and dispersed into the air under the attack far beyond their imagination.

Not far away, the slayers who witnessed the death of the fanatics were so frightened that they ran directly towards the temple with their four thin calves.
