The Zerg frontier outpost that was leveled by the mecha more than ten hours ago has been abandoned by the swarm, and there is no re-stationing of troops. Squadrons of mechs pulled out of the battleship and settled here and quickly set up simple fortifications.

"There was only a little bit left of the whole knight order back then"

James sighed as he looked at the hundreds of mechs busy on the battlefield

"More than 40 years have passed, we are all old, and now we can only do logistics work. I always feel ashamed of those seniors! ”

Another white-haired old man jumped out of the construction truck and picked up James' conversation.

Although everyone finally agreed to let them participate in this battle, out of consideration for their health, Death and Life did not agree to let them fight on the front line, but arranged all of them in logistics to take on the task of adjusting and repairing mechs.

"Grandpa, you can't say that. Isn't it your credit that these hundreds of antiques from more than 40 years ago can go to the battlefield normally? As for going to the battlefield and fighting those xenos, leave this kind of thing to Dad and us! ”

A handsome young man with a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose then got out of the car and boarded a mecha with ten fingers converted into maintenance tools.

"Wata, this is the war doctor you modified yourself? Seems pretty good! ”

James looked at the unusual mech, and said casually

"Of course!"

When it comes to his masterpiece, Watazuha's whole body is excited

"In order to maximize the efficiency of my mecha, I have specially modified the fingers, and installed various axles so that all tools can rotate quickly in all directions, so that it has the ability to quickly repair the mecha on the battlefield, making battlefield repair possible, and ensuring the ......safety of the driver's life to the greatest extent."

Watayu talked for more than twenty minutes, and James listened quietly with a wry smile.

"Wataru, look, isn't that the girl in the video?"

Seeing the girl sitting in a row with the King Kong mecha fixed to the roof of the transport car, James's eyes lit up and he thought of a way to get out.

Watara, who was completely immersed in his own world, glanced at James's finger and couldn't take his eyes off it. The mechanics of the mecha and the aesthetic girl are paired together to form an unusually harmonious picture: the beautiful and abnormal girl closes her eyes lightly, leaning on the mecha that is fixed to the roof of the car in a seated position. The transport car moving at a constant speed brought a warm gust of wind, blowing the long bangs on her forehead, and the beautiful and slender eyebrows trembled from time to time with the bumps of the body.

Wata, who had never been interested in mecha modifications, suddenly felt the breath of spring, and his heart was filled with indescribable warmth, and he quietly watched the vehicle carrying the girl out of his sight

"Grandpa James......"

Wataba was about to ask James for details about the girl, but when he looked back, he found that the place where James was supposed to stand was empty

……

"Hi Johnny!"

Liu Yuxin, who was high up, found Johnny who was hiding in the wall with the supply box at a glance, and waved happily to say hello.

Johnny, who seemed to be asleep just now, jumped up and looked at the sound, and soon found Liu Yuxin in the car

"Hi my beautiful goddess, I'm so happy to see you again!"

The colleagues around him all looked at him with contempt. Nima! Just now, I was weak and pretending to be dead and lazy, and the cute girl began to live as soon as she came, this beast!

Liu Yuxin's toes touched the roof of the car, and the person jumped down, took Johnny's hand and looked at him carefully for a while

"Well, it's good that there are no after-effects, otherwise I wouldn't have been at ease"

Johnny waved his hand rather arrogantly

"What's that? I've been injured more times in battles with the Queen of the Swarm, which one is not worse than this? Rest assured! ”

Smoke and dust rose from the position to the battleship, and soon a force composed entirely of man-wolf mechs appeared at the edge of the field of vision. It is said that it is a human wolf, because the mecha is indeed a wolf-headed human design, except that it has no external armor and wings that are very similar to Anubis, and the leader in front of the team is a black-brown jackal man who also carries heavy armor.

"Shadow of the Dead!"

Johnny said in surprise

"I didn't expect Captain Paint Star to send reinforcements from Seth and Shadow of Death in the defense team!"

Seeing Liu Yuxin's confused face beside her, he hurriedly explained to her

"Set is a land combat type of the same series as my mecha, and Shadow of Death is also an expert in hand-to-hand combat, and is an important component of defending the safety of warships and landing against the enemy.

The speed of the group of mecha was very fast, and as they were talking, they had already approached Liu Yuxin's position. The lead mech made a stop gesture, and the entire legion stopped running almost simultaneously and stood in the clearing.

"On the orders of Captain Lacquerstar, Set and Shadow of Death are temporarily assigned to the command of the Captain of the Guard, and are at the disposal of the Captain of the Guard."

Why me? Oh, yes, too. Naturally, it is impossible for the warship escort team with extremely high vision to obey the command of the surface humans, and the only one suitable to command them is himself.

"Okay, you go and take a break first, I'll call you if you need to."

Seth's pilot obeyed Liu Yuxin's orders and led the members of Deathwing to begin building their own station in a corner.

Soon after, the logistics troops also slowly drove in, bringing logistics vehicles with various functions.

"Captain Liu, Captain James wants to discuss a combat meeting with you, please come to the command center!"

The communication from the terminal interrupted Liu Yuxin's curiosity about the frontier position of the giant clan's construction

"Okay, I'll be right here!"

By the time Liu Yuxin arrived at the headquarters temporarily set up by engineering vehicles, all the people had already arrived and sat in the corresponding positions, while the position of the military chief was vacant.

Well? Looks like they want me to preside over this meeting! Liu Yuxin slowly walked to the position and sat down.

"Okay, now that all the people are here, let me introduce the general situation."

James stood up and pulled out a 3D topographic map on the conference table

"We are about 300 meters below the surface, and although the permafrost is relatively hard, it is easy to cause landslides if you use powerful heavy weapons. Therefore, we can only use small arms or engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Zerg in the whole campaign, which is very disadvantageous to us."

"We set the forward position here because we want to fight a war of attrition with the Zerg in this place where there are scaffolds to support and can barely use heavy fire support, and try to reduce their strength as much as possible."

"After the first batch of Zerg was annihilated, we began to advance towards the tunnel, and after stabilizing the battle line, we opened up a safe tunnel to connect with the ground to ensure that the alliance has an endless source of support for us."

"Can you guarantee that the swarm will fight us on the battlefield of our choice?"

Judging by the performance of the swarm, their commander has a fairly high IQ, why would they fight the enemy in such a place?

James said with a smile

"The biters don't know we've got new supplies. In the past, every time we were ready to attack, in order to prevent our lair from being affected by the flames of war, they would choose this place to consume the strength we had stored. Every once in a while, the Zerg will gather and fight us here for positional warfare, and it has been the case for so many years, and this time it will be no exception. ”

"Okay, after the first wave of the offensive is contained, I will lead the Shadow of the Dead as the vanguard to open up our connection with the surface!"

——————

The trenches more than a meter deep were filled with all kinds of mechs, and they used the tunnels scattered throughout the position to quickly adjust their key defensive positions.

"Master Fu Jing, do you think we can win this time?"

Johnny and Fu Jingzhu were placed in the reserve by Liu Yuxin, and stayed behind the rear of the position with the Shadow of the Dead. The entire sniper battle does not require their participation, avoiding the loss of living forces before entering the assault phase.

"You should be able to win, right? This time the power is unprecedentedly strong, although we don't know how many scorpion kings and queens there are in the hive, but we also have the support of the entire surface, not to mention that the Lacquer Star Defense Minister has supported the entire Shadow of the Dead! ”

The entire Shadow of the Dead uses a production version of Anubis, and with such a strong backing, there is really no reason to lose.

"Well, that's right, they're all the elite of the battleship marines."

"Boom"

A blinding light rose directly in front of the position, and the entire underworld trembled, and countless small rocks fell from the cracks in the crumbling dome and smashed down on the mechs below, making a crisp "dang dang dang".

"It's finally begun!"

Fu Jingzhu whispered to himself, the explosion just now was the sound triggered by a portable lightburst bomb, and it also heralded the beginning of the sniper battle

"It's getting started!"

Liu Yuxin looked at the xenos who were rushing up and whispered

Their chosen position was at the point where the walls began to deform and fall, and a 500-meter-long defensive line was stretched out on the open ground to form a phalanx, sniping at the xenos emerging from various cracks.

In fact, there is no difficulty for them to start a defensive battle here, due to the presence of battleship firepower. All those who don't care, in front of their positions, will be smashed to pieces by the fire of the murderous battleship. In order to avoid accidental damage, the frontal position has only sporadic precision support attacks.

For ordinary xenos, the mechs hiding in the trenches only need to aim, shoot, aim, and shoot again.

The xenos who rushed to the position were constantly shot in the rain of bullets, and rolled forward and fell to the ground. But the Zerg seemed to emerge endlessly from all over the place, slowly breaking their vision, and they built a wall of flesh on the entire front of the position.

"Gollum"

"Gollum"

……

Under the cover of cannon fodder, the long-range counterattack of the swarm began.

"Shield!"

With James's command, the edges of the countless shield furrows stood diagonally, and the green rancid juice rained down on the surface of the shield, making a sound of corroding metal. But the shield was very targeted, and the acid that corroded the metal floor into a large hole did not cause any real damage to the shield.

"Light Bomb!"

Balls of light were thrown at the enemy line by the mechs with long-barreled launchers. A series of violent explosions and light radiation swept across the battlefield, smoke rose from the entire position, and the smell of barbecued meat filled the air.

This round of projectiles of lightburst bombs cleared the entire battlefield!
