Volume 4: The Seed of Holiness (32)

Rows of barracks and hangars have risen in the wind and snow, and transport planes and load-carrying spacecraft have landed on the tarmac one after another, hastily unloading the supplies and soldiers they are carrying and roaring away without stopping for a moment.

More than a dozen long, narrow transport planes flew into the camp, and under the command of the guide, the four vector engines of the spacecraft changed to shoot downward, slowly lowering their altitude, and accurately landing on one stop sign after another.

Groups of hoplites with mechanical exoskeletons ran down the ship in a neat line, forming a phalanx in the ice and snow. A hoplite with an exoskeleton painted with a tiger on it ran up to a ground crew member and gave a military salute

"Hello, comrade. I am the 103rd Combat Company of the 1181st Heavy Infantry Division and am ordered to support the Antarctic front. ”

"1181 Company? Let me see...... Oh, your station is in this place, please follow the instructions on the tactical map"

The ground crew on the tarmac quickly searched through the database of the Antarctic Field Command Center to find the corresponding target and connect with the opponent's terminal to light up the destination.

Watching the group of hoplites leave, the ground crew patted the snow on their bodies

"This is the sixteenth company that has arrived today, and it looks like the battle is about to begin......

In the surface command center as warm as spring, Chang Shengshi's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he flipped through the battle records with the rock leaf insect clan over and over again. Due to Liu Yuxin's outstanding performance, the human side has unexpectedly many powers, and the entire alliance thinks that it is nine out of ten to win this battle, but there is always a faint uneasiness in the heart of the long-term command of the battle.

According to the current battle reports, the swarm of rock leaf insects encountered is not very different from before. At a time when the races are evolving at a rapid pace, they have been stagnant for 40 years? This is just too unconscionable.

But almost all the supplies and personnel were in place, and a general offensive was imminent. With so many people and equipment gathered here, the amount of supplies consumed every day is astronomical, and this is no joke. If he can't come up with a convincing reason for the big guys, he will have to delay the attack, and I believe that the military order to transfer him out of the base will soon appear in front of him.

No, I can't leave here! Chang Shengshi glanced at the rest of the command center. The others except him were discussing how to divide and destroy the swarm, completely unaware of what was wrong with the swarm's decades-long performance, and letting them command the battle would only be more radical and daring. Chang Shengshi didn't question their command ability, but they didn't put the swarm in the position of an equal opponent, thinking that they were just a group of low-level creatures with no intelligence, so they lost their vigilance.

This battle was started by itself, and he must be responsible for the thousands of Alliance soldiers involved. If one negligence causes the death of countless soldiers, then you can only live in endless repentance for the rest of your life. In the end, Chang Shengshi connected to James's communication

"Captain James, I want to go to the front line to confirm something, can you arrange a few guards for me?"

"Lieutenant General Chang, what are you doing here? You must know that the front line is very dangerous, and you, a field commander-in-chief, should not go out there! ”

James vehemently opposed Chang Shengshi's proposal

"The biters had the power to defeat one of our knights more than forty years ago, and from the records you have reported, they have not made the slightest progress in the past few decades, which is very unusual. If the evolutionary efficiency of rock shale swarms is really so low, they should not be the ones who stand out in this evolutionary competition. ”

Chang Shengshi said what he noticed the anomaly, causing a brief silence, and James finally agreed to Chang Shengshi's request after a long silence. In the past forty years, James has fought the worm blade countless times in order to return to the ground, and each time it ended in a fiasco, and the flexible attack methods of the worm swarm have made them suffer. Aside from the identities of the two sides, James still admires this old opponent very much, and his concern about the very unreasonable performance of the swarm is not unreasonable.

When Chang Shengshi rushed from the command center to the underground forward command post, James had already selected a guard for him, Chang Shengshi was the supreme person in charge of this battle, and James also took great pains for his safety. In addition to Anubis and Horus, the highest combat power in the third generation, a mecha with a crocodile head was also arranged. There is no doubt that this alligator head is certainly the best of them all.

"This is Qi Xiang, and the mecha piloted is Sobek, the strongest warrior under the leader."

"It's hard work, you want to accompany me to the hinterland of the swarm to adventure"

Chang Shengshi thanked him sincerely.

These few are not affiliated with the Alliance, and it is entirely because of James' commission that they will accompany him at the risk of being besieged by the biters.

James reached out in front of everyone to draw an offensive line with his fingers on the tactical map, and then stopped at a fork in the road

"In half an hour I'll gather all my forces to launch a feint, and a few of you will follow the action in the large force and lurk in this location. There are a lot of forks in the road for you to hide and maneuver, and when we get back to our starting positions, the swarm will push the battle line back to its original position, and there will definitely be a lack of precautions for you to act at the right time. Be careful, don't push too hard. While the omniscient eye of Horus keeps all of their units invisible before your eyes, once you are exposed, you will be surrounded by swarms of insects deep into the heartland. ”

"Don't worry, Daddy James, we're here, I'll make sure he's okay."

Johnny patted his scythe, full of confidence

——————

Half an hour later, hundreds of mechs poured out of their nests and quickly broke through along the tunnel, clearing the swarm sentries along the way with a devastating force, and fought a short but fierce encounter with the hastily assembled swarm on the fork in the road.

A jellyfish-like Zerg sentry hurried past the fork. It stopped suddenly, looking at a rock wall with a dozen of its own eyes.

Behind it, several dog-headed pangolins (later referred to simply as war bugs) dissatisfiedly put their heads on the fat skirts of the top sentries to show their displeasure with the aisles it occupied. The sentry, who had found nothing, withdrew his gaze and continued on his way.

Shortly after they left, the wall was torn open from within, revealing a few dusty mechs. One of the eagle-headed mechs pointed to one of the many forks in the road

"This road is supposed to be the gateway to their center, from which more people have been sent to the front than the other forks combined"

Chang Shengshi glanced at the path pointed out by Fu Jing. This tunnel is obviously wider than the others, and it should be a transportation tunnel specially dug by the insect swarm to facilitate the entry and exit of large zergs. The dark mouth of the cave resembles a gaping mouth, as if it wants to devour every creature that dares to enter the cave.

Once they entered the cave, they would lose the space to deal with the insect swarm, completely cutting off their own retreat, even a battle-hardened soldier like Chang Shengshi couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.

Lord Fu Wei, who was driving Horus, led the way into the tunnel

"It's all here, there's no reason to go home empty-handed, right? My omniscient eye can observe all the movements in a radius of several hundred meters, and it is not impossible to avoid them completely. ”

There is no way out for himself, for the sake of the thousands of alliance soldiers at the Antarctic base station, this tunnel must be entered!

Chang Shengshi followed Horus and walked into the cave for the second time.
