Chapter 15: Rescue

The battlecruiser slowly slowed down the speed of its engines, and with great control of efficiency and stability, the force to maintain the suspension was finally overtaken by the gravity of the Masala, and the battlecruiser landed slowly and steadily towards the ground.

The atmosphere rubbed against the thick armor, creating bursts of orange-red mist on the armor of the battlecruiser. With the thrusters powered at half speed or even slower, the battlecruiser crashed into the atmosphere more and more rapidly.

After about three or two minutes, the battlecruiser had already appeared in the inner circle of the atmosphere.

Calibrate the position and determine the direction. Matt Horner frowned slightly as he looked at the host alien biosignals on the monitor.

"The thrusters are advancing at full speed, and the No. 6 and No. 9 gun crews are firing at the insect host."

Spotting the host is not just a way to vent, but more importantly, it is important to eliminate these watchers, so that their every move is not watched by them.

Due to the large size of the reminder and the fact that the airsac-shaped body has no aerodynamic principles at all, the host's movement speed is extremely slow, and under the blow of the naval guns, all of them are reduced to pieces of minced flesh and scattered to the ground.

After clearing the nearby airspace, the battlecruiser's speed had increased to the fastest level, and with its sheer size, her speed seemed a little slow, but she had lived on this battleship for years, fought for years, as if the battleship had become a limb of Matt. He knew that the speed had reached the fastest point.

"Hurry up and !!"

The Imperial Commander shouted at the top of his lungs, and under his repeated drives, a whole demoralized force advanced at a slow pace.

Of course, the slow march was not just due to low morale, there were also some practical reasons.

Several siege tanks were successfully incapacitated by the irrigation of blasting insects and cockroach acid, and had to be dispatched by SCVs for quick repairs. Many Marines also faced this situation, and the splashes of acid either corroded the mask, or corroded the armor, and most unfortunately, corroded the joints, making it difficult for them to move.

It takes some time to rush to repair, it takes time to regain mobility, and even more time to reach the speed it was before damage.

However, in reality, there are not many opportunities for choice, and in a situation where the insects may rush out at any time to fight another ambush battle, it is best to maintain the ability to maneuver at all times.

So the Imperial Commander gave the order to restore the SCV's operational capability, and not to waste too much time.

And the SCVs also faithfully fulfilled the order, just-

Can this slow-moving, demoralized army really defeat Renault's rangers and capture Jim Renault alive?

Not to mention the lowest level of marines, even the commander himself, was skeptical.

"Cheer up! Guys! The report said that the rebel base contained only twenty marines, not even a single siege tank. We might have just gone through the motions and the rebels surrendered! ”

In order to boost morale, he even fancied to belittle the combat effectiveness of his own enemies.

But it doesn't seem to be of much use, and morale is irretrievably low after all.

No one looked up at the commander who usually rode on their heads, and there was no time to know the great baggage in the commander's heart.

"Warning. Seismic movement has been detected and tunnel bugs are entering. ”

"Tunnel worms? These damn bugs! ”

Cursing was no longer enough to express his anger, and Renault began to join the battle with his rifle in hand, but soon, seeing the commander trying to take a risk, loyal soldiers stopped him.

Renault brought his soldiers here to liberate the people, not to let them die here in vain. On all lines of defense where the swarm reached the base, he used a casualty reduction tactic - using a lot of ammunition to send them to hell instead of risking the lives of his soldiers.

Now, the Rangers are running out of bullets, and once they run out of bullets, they will kill them all at once in order to reduce the casualties they have spent a lot of ammunition.

"Boom~~~~Boom~~~"

There was a terrible vibration on the ground, which directly made the battle-hardened man unsteady on his feet.

Tunnel bugs!

It would be devastating if it were in the base, but Jim knew that under the base's feet were metal plates several meters thick, and as far as he knew, none of these tunnel worms would be able to penetrate the thick rock formations and have the strength to penetrate them. Not a single one.

Looking back, a brown creature suddenly rose from the ground, and after flying a lot of soil, it returned to the ground under the weight of the planet, but the barb on its body made it stuck on the ground and would not shrink back into the earth.

It was dark brown and covered in the soil of Masala as it traveled through the ground, and its mouth was large enough to fit an unfolded siege tank, spraying countless fungus-like substances from the holes around its mouth, and at the same time, its mouth was wide open.

"Vomit ~~~~~"

A disgusting sound suddenly rose, and in the sound of vomiting, countless alien insect units streamed out along the mouth of the pit worm.

Huge cockroaches, hideous chilling snakes, jumping insects that can quickly kill people. If these spews of alien units made the scalps of the Marines present tingle, then what jumped out next made everyone present chrysanthemum.

Green, lively poisonous explosive insects

"Hurry, hurry! Priority point is to shoot poisonous explosions!! ”

The Marines pressed the trigger, trying to numb the fear in their hearts with the vibration sensation coming from their arms, but they ...... What the hell is a cockroach protecting a poisonous explosion insect like a cub!

The bullets in the hands of the Marines that can pierce through the jumping worms can't do damage to the cockroaches, a tank-level creature, let alone the poisonous blasters that are protected behind them. The insects are also very clever in using their reins to make steady progress.

However, their good luck was running out, and a cannonball that fell from the sky directly smashed the cockroach into a lump of meat sauce.

Steady as a siege tank! Thank God!

The Marines muttered how cute the little cubs they had first discovered in the siege tank, and at the same time sent bullets into the body of the poisonous blaster.

The poisonous insects that explode one by one are like green flowers blooming in the dark night, dazzling and joyful.

"Siege tanks, listen to me! that monster out there for me! ”

Calibrate the firing elements and slowly calibrate the angle of the shelling. The siege tanks are ready to take the tunnel worms.
