Chapter 657: Everything that has passed is prologue
Sandstone Mountain, an endless and desolate place, stands out from the surrounding desert by virtue of its triangular pyramidal appearance. Its small view of the mountains made it a strategic base for swooping the entire desert area, and the expeditionary force gathered all the heavy armoured troops here to form the Desert Eagle War Outpost.
This is where the Boromis Logistics Mechs and Starfleet Immortal Combined Task Force headquarters are located.
The signal in the command hall of the Glory Fortress flickered, and a communication device built by the Guardian Legion of the Origin of the Moon War mapped all the war scenes in the Sandstone Mountain and projected them onto the screen in the central hall.
Dadora Cholobi, the leader of the Boromis Mechano Warfare Regiment, talked in a low voice with the guards around her, and her expression eased when she saw Qin Hao, Xia Duoduo, and Zhou Min coming in, and she casually threw the tactical tablet over: "The Zerg are at war with the war outposts, our stronghold is firmly defended, and the Sandstone Mountain is still under our control. However, the Zerg seem to be waiting for something, and now the attack frequency is extremely loose. ”
"Let the Muyue Guardian Crusader Vanguard go to support," Qin Hao stared at the tactical tablet, and saw that those zergs were emitting a light gray light, blocking all those magic bullets, and then he said in a deep voice to Zhou Min beside him: "Mars Holy Light Crusader Avengers should also go together." ”
"Is the density of sand and gravel mountains too great?" Zhou Min saw that half of the expeditionary force had been invested in Shashi Mountain, and he was afraid that he would enter the Zerg ambush and suffer too many casualties, so he couldn't help but stop it.
"This is the first battle of Tannick in the strict sense of the word, and it is too risky to invest half of the combat power, right?" Xia Duoduo was also suspicious, she saw that Qin Hao's face was extremely serious, and her voice couldn't help but decrease.
"Yes, it's too risky to put in half of it......" Qin Hao stretched out his fingers to support his chin, his eyebrows furrowed slightly and agreed with Xia Duoduo's words: "Order the Earth Front Army's Ersi War Mage Corps and the Muyue Battle Mage to join forces to go with you, build a range attack array, and conduct air combat at the same time!" ”
"You're going crazy! How can it be increased! Xia Duoduo stood up from his chair and waved his arms to protest loudly towards Qin Hao: "All our heavy combat preparations are here!" ”
"Xiao Hao, since then, only the Guardian Legion of the Origin of the Moon War and the Ninth Combined Brigade of Martian Melee Defense Mages are left in the Fortress of Glory. If they attack the West, the real intention of feinting at Sandstone Mountain is to destroy the stronghold...... Too presumptuous. Zhou Min frowned, staring at Qin Hao, making his last effort.
"I know that...... Compared to the sturdy fortress of glory, the Sandstone Mountain has no danger to hold, even if the desert eagle has built countless bunkers, it does not have much advantage compared to the zerg who are good at drilling holes. If we lose Sandstone Mountain, the Zerg will be able to use it to lay siege to the Fortress of Glory. The lack of water in the desert is basically self-defeating......" Qin Hao glanced at the topographic map of the Sandstone Mountain, and focused a few times on the desert eagle sentry.
"But, the Zerg will sneak up from underground!" Xia Duoduo didn't buy Qin Hao's analysis at all, and her head turned quickly: "Since the Zerg can drill holes, they can completely drill underground near the Sandstone Mountain, and appear near the Glory Fortress or even in the city. Without the wind and sand blocking them underground, it is entirely possible for them to sprint directly, and our front-line troops are obviously not in a hurry to return to help! If you lose the fortress of glory for the sake of the desert eagle, the gain will outweigh the loss. ”
"Then just keep them out."
"Look at what you can, the Zerg are underground, there is no location tracking equipment, can you know where they are emerging from?"
"There's really no tracking device, but it's not difficult to locate. We just need to set up the receiver in the direction they are likely to go and wait for the rabbit. ”
"Waiting for the rabbit?" Xia Duoduo whispered, and only then did he understand what Qin Hao was about to say: he already had a way to deal with the Zerg infiltration.
She blinked her eyes a few times and raised her face: "How big is the interception rate of your method?" It's not okay if the interception rate is too low, and you also know that after the Zerg breaks through the glory barrier, the individual team may not be able to deal with it. ”
"There's no need to worry about this, my method is actually very simple. Detection instruments are buried at intervals underground, and a network is used to make predictions, and mobile insect traps are set up to round up and kill places with a high probability. Qin Hao thought that it would be implemented soon, and there was no need for secrecy, so he raised his head and told all the plans.
"Are you saying that the two troops left behind in the Fortress of Glory are to hunt insects except for necessary defenses?" Zhou Min was amazed by Qin Hao's idea, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was feasible. It's just that...... Will there be too many people now? There are more than 2,000 people in the two legions left, even if only half of them go to capture the Zerg, this 1,000-person insect hunting army is too spectacular, right?
"Yes, as long as the Zerg does not dispatch the general level, it will be foolproof." Qin Hao tapped lightly on the stone table and expressed the worry in his heart: "I'm afraid that the Insect Emperor will come to attack alone, and the insect catching team will fall into a desperate situation." ”
When everyone heard Qin Hao's words, the emotions that had been relaxed instantly became tense. They are all gambling, betting that the insect emperor will spare his life and will not risk breaking into the encirclement.
"As far as I know, all insects, flying insects, and reptiles are camouflaged, which shows that they are actually very desperate for their lives. As long as this insect emperor has no problem with his brain, he will never come out, and he may breed in the hive like those female worms! Hee-hee-hee-he......e-he
It's just that her words are not funny, and everyone is silent.
"That...... I don't think the Zerg will come in," Estini, who was sitting in the back, stood up, "I used the power of Danur to wipe out the Zerg who attacked the Crystal Clan. Although it is impossible to inflict fatal damage on the Zerg, it can also make the Bug Emperor jealous.
In addition, Danur's power is carried out against the Insect Emperor, and according to the thickness of the Frozen Wall, it should have caused some damage to her. She wouldn't take risks when she was weak, after all, the Worm Emperor wasn't that easy to promote. ”
"She? Are you saying that the Worm Emperor is the mother? Xia Duoduo looked at Estini and calmly uttered his first formal words.
Estini looked at Xia Duoduo in astonishment, and then ecstasy, thinking that the grievances between himself and Xia Duoduo had been resolved. The corners of her mouth turned upwards and she smiled: "That's true, the frontline scouts did find that the Worm Emperor is a woman, and she is a charming woman on the upper body and a six-legged monster on the lower body. ”
"Humph!" Xia Duoduo found that he took the initiative to talk to Estini in addition to being nervous, and couldn't help but feel distressed and indignant: "Mother's is a lot of things! Let me catch her, I have to discount her extra legs! ”
Qin Hao saw that the two of them were reconciled to each other, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, and then he quietly returned to his original state: "Without further ado, order the troops to go to Shashi Mountain to set up defenses." At the same time, the remaining troops embedded detection instruments and summarized all the information to the headquarters! ”
After Qin Hao finished speaking, he whispered to Xia Duoduo, who was close at hand, "Duoduo, can you stay here?" I'm afraid that I won't be able to take care of you on the frontline battlefield. ”
Xia Duoduo felt Qin Hao's warmth, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled brightly at Qin Hao. But he stubbornly said, "I don't!" I can take care of myself! ”
After speaking, as if to prove himself, the Xuanyuan Sword rotated rapidly around his body. On the back, a pair of wings flowing with light flickered, extending into the sky, and the cold ice and the Bi appeared on the waist, and the two pieces of the broken Hebi were flat and smooth, as if they had been carefully polished.
Just like his own domain, an absolute realm of three feet in size was formed around Xia Duoduo's body.
Although he didn't know what Xia Duoduo's field was, he also knew that nothing could hurt her in this three-foot space. looked at Xia Duoduo again, and the pride hidden in his pitiful eyes had to give up. Approaching her, he whispered, "Follow me when you get to the front." ”
Xia Duoduo's eyes flashed, she had planned to wait for Qin Hao to insist repeatedly, and she would give up reservedly. Now I actually give myself a single plane.,Well,It seems that it's still my sister's charm.,Raided this piece of wood.。 The corners of her eyebrows were raised, and her face was filled with a smug smile: "Hmph! Don't worry, sister will definitely take care of you. ”
Qin Hao smiled helplessly, and then nodded towards Zhou Min and Qiao Luobi: "Next, you will be in charge here, and there is only one purpose, that is, reverse infiltration!" Show up and catch one! ”
"Lord Adjudicator, what about the captured captives?" Qiao Luobi's eyes rose upward, ignoring Qin Hao and Xia Duoduo's dog food to show affection, and asked with a serious and pleasant expression: "Leaving all of them behind will cause a great burden to our supplies." ”。
She was not very familiar with Qin Hao and Xia Duoduo, but she knew that it was these two adults that the mechanical goblin could rely on to see the light of day. The infinite gratitude that welled up in her heart led her to lead the mechanical goblins to join the expeditionary force.
These mechanical goblins, who were full of infinite enthusiasm for machinery, quickly found their place and took on the task of logistics support for nearly 10,000 people.
"This ......" Qin Hao never thought of keeping the prisoners, he thought about it again and again and asked Estini for help: "What do they eat?" ”
Estini was full of guilt for Xia Duoduo in her heart, and her mind was all on Xia Duoduo, secretly looking at her from time to time. She woke up suddenly when she heard Qin Hao's inquiry, and only after a moment did she speak: "They eat everything, it's like a calamity, and the reason why Tannick is so desolate is because of them!" That's why we isolate them with walls of ice. ”
"Desolation?" Qin Hao looked at the image of flying sand and stones on the central screen, and had already guessed seven or eight in his heart, and still asked unwillingly: "It turns out that it's not a desert?" ”
"No, the land beneath our feet used to be a grassland, a grassland as far as the eye can see. Irrigated by the Dhanur Tidal Lake, the whole Tannik is green. Compared to the blue water balloon, Tannick is a green cradle of life. ”
Estini squinted her eyes, recalling the beauty of the past, and the pain that had accumulated in her heart filled her heart. She clenched her fists so hard that her sharp nails dug into her flesh.
"Lord Xia Duoduo once disliked my good looks...... Ugly, in fact, I am the same as I used to be, but after losing the energy of the Danur Tidal Lake, the life energy is exhausted, and the crystal skeleton will appear. We have sworn to expel these invaders from Tannik in memory of our former glory, so we can accumulate life energy and manifest ourselves as Crystal Skullmen. ”
"That'...... Your original name wasn't Crystal Skullman, was it? Xia Duoduo seemed to feel something, and abandoned his prejudice and anger against Estini. Xin asked softly as if he had stopped water, "Since you are related to life energy and tidal lakes, you must have them in your name." ”
"Indeed, we have been in Tannic for hundreds of millions of years, we are connected with the fate of Tannik Tidal Lake, and we are also in harmony with the Great Danur, and even our lives are given by Danur. Ours is the Danur Lakemen, the last descendants of Tamnick's guardians of nature. ”
