Finale: When Hell Comes to Earth (49)
After a period of greetings, Keiji Genda and the others were led to the combat command center, where an adjutant explained to them in detail the battlefield information collected during this period and the latest battlefield situation.
"So, this battle is about to end with our victory, right?"
After listening to the report, Keiji Genda looked at the adjutant with a serious face, observing every change in expression on his face.
"Yes, with our joint efforts, the hunt for the Juggernaut will soon be completed, and the xenomorph tide on the front of the battlefield is about to collapse!"
"Well, that's good! Thank you for your hard work, Liu Sang."
After confirming the information, Genda Keiji thanked Adjutant Liu, and showed a document from the terminal to Chang Tianle with a straight face
"General Chang, due to the very tragic nature of this battle, many of the Alliance's troops have been crippled or even wiped out by the entire formation, and the Supreme Council hopes that you can temporarily take off your heavy responsibilities and return to the Alliance Headquarters to report to them on the specific situation. As for the battle at the front, it was first put in command of Admiral Fred, and it is said that in the end, the situation was reversed by the plan he proposed. General Chang, do you have any different opinions? ”
Chang Tianle smiled bitterly in his heart, understanding that the members of the committee had already made plans for the fruits of victory in the near future. Fred's proposal was certainly an important factor in turning the tide of the war, but in fact, it was the combat units that desperately completed the designated tactical objectives that were the biggest contributors! This statement of the committee is obviously taking credit for Fred! Although this distribution is extremely unfair, what can you do if you are weak?
"General Fred's leadership and strategic skills are excellent, and I am very relieved to have him in command of the final battle."
Ever since he knew that the investigation team had arrived, Chang Tianle had already guessed that things might change, and that it was impossible for others to let the Nangong family pick the last fruits of victory, which would then give the Nangong family an unparalleled reputation after the war. With the laurels of human heroes, they can easily make up for their losses and make their strength to a higher level, this kind of thing is not willing for any force to happen except for the Nangong family itself!
Chang Tianle just didn't expect that all the factions would compromise with each other in such a short period of time, which can only show that the Nangong family is really unlikable within the alliance.
Chang Tianle is not keen on power and reputation, and he doesn't care who led the coalition to win the final victory, all he wants is to let as many soldiers as possible return to his relatives alive, so he also chose to compromise. As for Nangong Yun, who sacrificed himself for the future of the alliance, Chang Tianle could only say sorry in his heart.
Chang Tianle was quickly arranged to return to the battleship of the alliance, and he suddenly felt a little uneasy before the hatch closed, but soon laughed at himself in his heart, you are just an old man in better spirits, there are still so many elites in the command, and the sky will not fall without you......
At the same time as the battleship carrying Chang Tianle took to the air, the landing field reinforced by the commandos in the depths of the dense forest also welcomed a group of visitors.
Several huge transport ships descended from the escort formation and fell to the ground, and a slightly haggard Suzuki Minami led a group of dusty researchers out of one of the battleships.
"Director Suzu, I really didn't expect that the first guests here would be you."
Shi Lei looked surprised at Suzuki Minami, who came in a hurry, not to mention the strange fact that the people from the research institute came to the front line before the landing force arrived, Suzuki Nan went out only a handful of times throughout the year, and it was enough to surprise people to suddenly come here in person.
Minami Suzuki has always been vigorous and resolute, and after completing the simple negotiation process in accordance with the regulations of the alliance, he went straight to the point:
"I'm here to pick you up, and anyone else who wants to go back can also hitchhike together, and I've brought enough ships to send them back to their designated locations."
"This is different from the description on the mission, doesn't it tell us to stick to the landing field?"
Shi Lei glanced at his terminal task and it was not refreshed, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, he didn't know whether to continue to persevere, you must know that none of the personnel who disobeyed the woman in front of him ended well.
"The landing force will not come again!"
Suzuki Nan glanced at Shi Lei angrily, even if she was as strong as her, it was impossible to blatantly instigate her subordinates to disobey military orders at this critical moment, and she brushed her hair that was blown away by the wind She then explained:
"I got the exact news that the Marines will not be coming again. Since satellite positioning is now available, the command center has changed the landing operation to use the destruction strike of the outer space fleet, and there is no point in you defending this place anymore! I believe that you will receive other instructions in the near future. ”
"The Supreme Commander of the former finger has been replaced?"
Shi Lei immediately grasped the key to this, if the colonial people did not accept the supreme power to lead this battle, it would be impossible for them to put all the fleets into the battle.
Regarding Shi Lei's astuteness, Suzuki Minami nodded approvingly
"Now is the time for the old and the new forces to alternate, and it is just the right time to withdraw you to the rear after completing the mission. I've been following the battlefield these days, and there are always signs of the Juggernaut's engagement with us, though some surprises. But the Juggernaut's ungodly treatment of you in the heart has alerted me - it's not like it has no troops at its disposal, so why hasn't it tried to extinguish your hidden danger? ”
"You mean, there's a killer trick it hasn't used yet?"
Minami Suzuki did not deny Shi Lei's speculation
"It's always right to be careful, I'm afraid you two-legged ones won't outrun those four-legged ones."
That's the purpose of Minami Suzuki's purpose, and she doesn't want to risk the most important people in her life, regardless of whether the Juggernaut still has a hidden means to win. In the face of danger that can threaten his own life, the final counterattack of the Juggernaut must be an irresistible killer move!
No matter what kind of super-level creature it is, the power it controls is beyond human imagination!
Minami Suzuki has no doubt about this!
After much consideration, Shi Lei finally accepted Suzuki's suggestion, and he gathered everyone to convey his thoughts, which was undoubtedly unanimously approved. The most important concern of ordinary non-commissioned officers is when they can leave here safely, and grand strategy or anything is not a reference criterion for their actions.
A few hours later, all that was left of the landing site was hastily abandoned fortifications, all that was left behind was all sorts of garbage, and the crisp sound of hollow canisters churning in the wind.
After a while, several Cerberus sneaked out from behind the dense trees, looked at the camp again and again, and began to check the entire landing site with their noses against the ground. After several searches, the frightened Cerberus finally confirmed that all the people in the camp had been evacuated, and happily waged their tails back into the woods.
——————
In a dense forest more than ten kilometers away from the camp, it was densely packed with all kinds of elite xenomorphs, the most of which were hell two-headed dogs.
The Cerberus, who were resting on the shady ground, suddenly stood up with their ears pricked up, and looked ahead with their mouths open, until a few of their kind came into their sight, and they all lay back lazily.
The scouting Cerberus trotted along the path left behind, through the Cerberus camp and into the depths. There are a wide variety of large xenomorph elites gathered here, and they are the killer of the xenomorphs in many battles, from the rough-skinned and thick-skinned ramming-horned rhinoceros, to the strong iron-backed orangutans, and many fierce and swift manticores...... They nest in their sphere of influence in groups according to their species and strength, and are oblivious to other fierce beasts that are close at hand.
In the middle of this group of transcendent aliens, a large area was vacated, and a fiery red red ray and a huge body of Cerberus each had one head.
The returning Cerberus sat down in front of Kerrlos in order of their status in the group, and then the one at the head of the row began to whine incessantly.
"They say the people in the camp have left the forest in a flying iron bird."
Cerberus twisted his head to relay the information he had just gotten to the Chir.
"You can't be wrong, right? Will they be hiding? They are known for their cunning! ”
Chi Xiao still had some doubts, and those people said that it was too sudden.
Cerberus left only one head to continue communicating with the Cerberus, and twisted the other head towards the red rays:
"My subordinates can't be mistaken!"
"Yes, yes, you can't be wrong, the smell left in the camp is from a few hours ago, and no new smell has been found nearby, they must have withdrawn!"
The other head also hurried to help.
Cerberus, who didn't care much about the details, stopped communicating with his own family, and the last one turned his head:
"Chi Xiao, why did the master tell us not to take the initiative to attack them? Obviously, our power is more superior! ”
"Probably because there is also a king with divine power in the camp opposite, the master is not willing to have a king-to-king situation too early, after all, there are other competitors."
The six large eyes of Cerberus instantly widened with an incredulous expression
"One king enters the vicinity of another king's throne only under the escort of a few guards?"
"Cerberus, don't ask me! How could I possibly know something that even the owner couldn't figure out! ”
"Chi Xiao, could the master be mistaken? I don't feel like there's a strong man like a master among them! ”
"Cerberus!"
"Well, well, I shouldn't question the greatness of the master......"
Seeing the angry appearance of the red ray, Cerberus felt weak, whether it was the degree of evolution or the trust of the master, the red ray left himself far behind, and continued to provoke it would only embarrass himself.
Cerberus was silent for only a moment, and then suddenly raised his head sharply, and his eyes sparkled:
"That...... Chixiao, now that they're all gone, don't we have to stay here anymore? I've been suffocated for the past few days! ”
After saying that, the heads of Cerberus skimmed at the large xenos who were resting, and saliva flowed from their mouths. According to the rules of the Juggernaut, members are not allowed to attack each other after the formation of the xenomorph legion, and Cerberus has been hungry for the food that is close to him!
Chi Xiao swept away the unpromising look of Kerlos, and said disdainfully:
"That's right, now it's time to disband the legion!"
"Hahahaha......"
Cerberus laughed maniacally, then raised his head to the sky and roared
"Woo~~~"
The various alien species that were lying lazily on the ground just now immediately dispersed as birds and beasts, and disappeared in an instant!
