Volume 3 Insect War Chapter 173 Landing Battle
The yellow sand of the planet in front of you is long, and even in space, you can still feel the desolation of the earth's surface. From the screen in front of him, Morning Star noticed that the number of alien insects on this planet was very large and widely distributed, and there was a faint feeling of arranging troops. Morningstar simulated many times in his mind to lead the team to infiltrate, but he was overthrown by himself, and it was completely impossible to succeed.
Looking at Taciris standing beside him, Morningstar felt that his heart was also heavy, and he seemed to realize that the upcoming battle was going to be a tough one. The data is constantly being collected and aggregated, and Talbrin is very efficient and the information is transmitted very quickly. Several combat staff officers were busy and constantly analyzed. Find the best place to land.
The main objectives of the mission were two devices containing the "personality", which the technicians of Talbrin needed to extract the personality into a special instrument for storage, during which time it had to be protected. The road to the personality storage device was not very smooth, and the combat staff had simulated several tactics, and the result was that it was necessary to break through with arms. Such a situation could only lead to one consequence, and that was the siege of the landing force by the Alien Worm Force.
After Morningstar and Tasiris discussed, they synthesized the opinions of the operational staff officers of both sides and quickly formulated tactics. The landing site was chosen, the route was planned, and a troop of three races was triggered towards the unknown planet.
Although Morningstar has always considered himself a person who has been on the battlefield, this is the first time that Morningstar has participated in such a large-scale group battle.
Unlike the landing methods of human troops, the Psenchus were more direct and violent. The main ship on which Taciris was riding seemed to the Morning Star to be a huge plate, fastened to the frame of a triangular operation. Although the appearance is different from Morningstar's aesthetics, Morningstar still has to admit the terrifying power of this ship. The attack method called orbital strike was expected by some Chaohu Morning Star, perfectly avoiding the friendly units on the landing ship, and the beams of white light accurately fell on the hostile air force units that were constantly flying towards the landing ship in the air.
As the vanguard of the landing force, Morningstar did not summon it this time, but directly drove into the landing ship and landed with the landing ship. The landing went very smoothly, and under the cover of the orbital strike of the Talblin flagship, the landing force reached the surface in full force and immediately launched a formation for defense. Talburin's technicians immediately deployed the teleportation field, while several soldiers in the landing force controlled their weapon systems and defended.
The first wave of Worm troops to arrive at the landing site were Jumping Worms, these small but extremely agile Worm soldiers have been playing the role of charging on the battlefield. In Leighton's notes and Quinn's introduction, Morningstar learns that the attacks of the Alien Bugs have always been continuous, and that this first wave of attacks is just the beginning, and that the follow-up attacks will soon come.
The commander who landed with Morning Star was Bai Shiishi's new disciple on Itgleason, named Kong Xinyu, who was originally a mid-level official of the Shadow Guard and had commanded many of the Shadow Guard's operations. After Baishi discovered his potential and guided him, Kong Xinyu grew up quickly and accepted the mantle of Baishi, and this battle was his first actual battle. Kong Xinyu is a middle-aged man in his forties in the Republic, with a very ordinary face, belonging to the type that is difficult to find in the crowd, but a pair of eyes are shining all the time.
Morningstar has always believed that there are no mediocre talents in this world, they just entered the wrong industry. Kong Xinyu obviously belongs to the kind of person who is in the wrong business, when he was in the shadow guard, although he was also a small commander, but those tasks were more related to intelligence gathering, surveillance, and eavesdropping, although Kong Xinyu's wisdom has not had any major problems, but it can only be regarded as decent, and there is nothing commendable. Shiraishi's discovery of his talent was also by chance, at a meeting, Kong Xinyu, who was in attendance, commented on a historical battle at Shiraishi's request, and Kong Xinyu's views made Shiraishi's eyes shine, so Kong Xinyu's identity was achieved today.
"The tank insect troops are arrayed, the mecha troops are protected in the front row, and the anti-aircraft fire is deployed and between the tank troops and the mecha troops, the first round of firepower is prepared." Kong Xinyu's eyes were shining at this moment, and he commanded to lift his weight lightly, and after quickly making defensive deployments, he quietly looked at the jumping insect troops that were rushing towards the defense camp in the distance.
The landing camp is located on a high ground on the edge of a cliff, with a very good view and at the same time reducing the fear of enemies on all sides. On the high ground, Morning Star was driving a trap and standing at the front of the mecha troops, and the alien troops were constantly approaching the camp in the distance, and the pressure brought by the black oppressive color was simply unbearable. There was silence in the team's communication channels, and even the sound of each other's breathing could be heard clearly. The swarm of insects that were gradually approaching, the sound of the crusts stepping on the ground was like the galloping of thousands of horses, which had already shook the ground under their feet slightly, and the piercing neighing sound could be faintly heard.
Kong Xinyu still didn't give the order to launch, the light in his eyes was even brighter, and Morning Star knew that he was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity that could cause the most damage. The preparation time for the tank to shoot is about three seconds, and the strike range of a single bomb is about a circular area with a radius of ten meters, and this kind of direct blow is not very powerful in the face of the swarm of insects rushing like a tsunami. Morning Star also knew that Kong Xinyu was waiting for an opportunity, and from the moment Morning Star stood at the front of the line, he found a narrow passage a few hundred meters in front of the camp, and if he could concentrate the tank attacks on this area, the intensity of the blow would increase exponentially.
The swarm was getting closer and closer, and just before reaching the narrow passage, Kong Xinyu shouted: "Direction one hundred and seventy-five, distance seven hundred, launch!" ”
The sound of the tank pounding on the ground from the head sounded rhythmically, causing the ground under the camp to resonate. Then a muffled sound came from the tank from the back of the pipe, and acid bombs emitting a crystal green light roared into the sky, as beautiful as a picture. But Chenxing knew that this beautiful color was a fatal signal, and turned his head to look at the narrow passage in the distance, and the acid bomb between them accurately covered that area, except for a few jumping insects that rushed first, the entire jumping insect army was cut off by the corrosive area formed by the acid, and the jumping insects directly hit by the acid bomb were even more miserable, and after making a sad sound that shook the sky, the body was quickly dissolved by the strong corrosiveness, and disappeared on the spot with white eyes.
It is said that the momentum of the jumping insect charge becomes no longer terrible after being blocked by the tank worm, and even if a few jumping worms successfully pass through the acid area, they are basically seriously injured, and their combat effectiveness drops sharply. And those jumping insects who choose to detour are divided into several units because of the terrain, and the difference in offensive routes has led to a serious decrease in density, and the threat has also decreased. And the continuous falling orbital strikes in the air caused a huge harassment to these scattered alien insect troops, and by the time the jumping insects rushed to the camp, they could only be regarded as stragglers. The Morning Star, who was in the front row, roared loudly and led the mecha troops to rush into the jumping insects, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
The original intention of the appearance of the human mecha unit was to fight against those opponents who were large in size and explosive in combat effectiveness, and Xiang Jumping Worm, a class that relies on the advantage of numbers, is vulnerable in front of the mecha, not to mention that the number of Jumping Worm troops at this time no longer has an advantage.
Just when Morning Star led the mecha troops from Itgleason to slaughter all directions, Kong Xinyu was already keenly aware that the follow-up alien insect attack was about to arrive. In the sky, a black wyvern was heading towards the camp, and Talbrin's fixed defensive weapons had already been folded and were ready to strike. Along with the defensive weapons, there is a dexterous weapon known as the Phoenix Fighter, which is more agile and more powerful than a human warplane.
In the sky, several rays of dazzling white light tore through the formation of the Wyvern troops like scalpels, and the Wyvern that was hit was directly evaporated into gas by the high temperature, and there were no bones left. And the nimble Phoenix fighters quickly mastered air supremacy under the protection of orbital strikes. At the same time, under Kong Xinyu's orders, Itgleason's mechanical Wyvern troops also rose into the air one after another, further consolidating air superiority. Compared with Talblin's Phoenix Fighter, Itgleason's Mechanical Wyvern is more comprehensive, and can not help but assist Phoenix Fighter to attack Wyvern troops attacking from the sky, and can also bombard the reinforcements that constantly appear on the ground, and has become the most eye-catching star on the battlefield for a while.
Morning Star, who had cleaned up the jumping insect troops, led the mecha unit back to the camp under the command of Kong Xinyu, although it lost two mechas, but this unit had already been trained by Baishi and rescued all the pilots under the protection of each other. The first round of firefighting was over in just a dozen minutes, and the Morning Star side, which had gained air supremacy, could basically intercept all the follow-up ground attack forces, and the occasional few fish that slipped through the net could not pose a lethal threat to the camp.
In the middle of the camp, the Morning Star broke away from the trap, and the strange way of breaking away made the people of Psenchus extremely curious. Ignoring the curious gaze around him, Morning Star walked in front of the tank bug unit, constantly comforting the little soldiers who had entered the battlefield for the first time and were stimulated by the bloody images. After comforting the driver, it is natural to praise these big guys who have made meritorious contributions. When Morningstar stroked the head of one of the tank bugs, the guy whined and screamed with excitement. Morningstar didn't know what it was excited about, but the comfort it deserved was still there, and he touched the big heads of the tanks one by one, and the replies he got were all shouting. It's puzzled, but it looks pretty good, at least these tank bugs didn't hit themselves with their big heads.
returned to Kong Xinyu's side, and Quinn and Andahir were also there. Several people were pointing at a holographic image, as if they were studying something.
Morningstar walked between Quinn and Anshidar, stretched out his hands to the left and right, and the landlord's equally slender waist was glared at by Anshidar. Quinn didn't react to Morning Star's movements, holding his chest and pinching his chin as if thinking about something, and Kong Xinyu, who was standing opposite Morning Star, also had a serious face.
"What's wrong? How do you feel like you're both not happy about winning the battle? Chenxing looked at Kong Xinyu and asked puzzled.
Kong Xinyu looked at Quinn with his eyes, and Morning Star also turned his head, just in time to meet Quinn's eyes. After staring at each other for a moment, Quinn gave Morningstar a sweet smile and said, "I don't feel right, there is probably the same existence on this planet as me." I don't know if you've noticed, the jumping insect troops that were blocked before, if they were wild insects, they wouldn't care about life and death at all, at most they would fill up that clothing area with corpses, and they wouldn't stop attacking. There is also the formation of the Flying Dragon Force, and from what I know about the insects, they will not have such a neat lineup. ”
"You mean, the other Destiny Responders? Could it be the man? Quinn's words made Morningstar feel a little stressed.
Quinn shook his head and replied, "Not really, the appearance and style of the troops are very different, these alien insect troops have obviously not been modified in any way, they are all in normal form." ”
Morning Star breathed a sigh of relief and said with some embarrassment: "It's good if it's not that guy, I don't have the confidence to beat him." ”
Quinn stretched out her slender jade and pointed at Morning Star's forehead and said, "Go ahead and get busy with you, your muscles are more suitable for that side, and you don't need to worry about these things." ”
With a black line on her face, although Morningstar thinks she is very smart, but in the face of Quinn's jokes, Morningstar doesn't want to, and can't bear to refute her. Leaving the podium, Morningstar circled around the massive camp and found that the Psindus troops were entering the battlefield as they arrived, along with a variety of weapons that Morningstar had never seen before. And those warriors who were infused with personality made Morning Star feel extremely curious, and he couldn't help but communicate with several of them, and the results obtained were not as ordinary as Morning Star thought. Although these warriors were imbued with the same personality, there were still individual differences, and the answers to the same questions asked by Morning Star were also varied, not exactly the same as Morning Star had previously thought. It also reassures Morningstar that it's a good thing that there are differences, at least these warriors won't die the same mistake on the battlefield.
The situation on the periphery has gradually stabilized, and since the air supremacy has been controlled by the Morning Star's side, the Insect Force has also stopped attacking. In the news sent back by the reconnaissance team, Morningstar found that Quinn's speculation was likely correct, and that this alien unit had a commander, as could be seen from the scattered alien insects withdrawing from their own fire coverage.
The battlefield jumping technique of Psenchus is indeed very good, and in a short period of time, this landing camp has been set up in a similar shape, like a fortress posture. The necessary facilities in the camp have also been established, all the human dwellings are the "shoebox" marching tents provided by ItGleason, the supply system of the insects has also been built, and the morning star has watched a small insect slowly evolve into a hive, consuming a few crystals. Not to mention the people of Pusenchus, the white balls of light that filled the ground appeared almost simultaneously, and at the same time the necessary facilities were folded into the camp, and the envious Morning Star was about to lose control of his saliva.
When Morningstar returned to the vicinity of the command room, he was surprised to find that the commander of the Talblin Login Force was waiting for him.
The commander was a human-looking Psenchus, and he didn't know what kind of force kept his feet off the ground and suspended in the air. An angular armor showed his noble status, and the constant flashes of lightning between his hands seemed to intimidate his opponents. Under the mask, the face is faintly visible, except for the light blue skin and the shining eyes, he can be regarded as a beautiful man in the human concept.
"Looking for me?" Morningstar walked up to the other party and asked puzzled.
"My name is Frass and I am the commander of the Talburin landing force." Frass introduced himself.
"To get down to business, it's not like I don't know you." Morningstar rudely interrupted Frass to introduce himself and get straight to the point.
Frass didn't show the slightest displeasure, like a gentleman among men, and said with a smile on his face, "Don't you understand how those bugs behaved to you?" ”
"You know?" Morningstar didn't know what purpose the other party was holding to stop him, although they were allies, they weren't necessarily friends.
Flas took a few steps closer to the morning star and said leisurely, "I can smell a smell from you, a smell that I've been trying to forget. ”
This is worth it, Morning Star hurriedly raised his arms and sniffed himself, there was no smell, he still looked at Frass in puzzlement, and said, "I didn't smell it?" Is your nose more sensitive than mine? ”
Suspended in mid-air, Flas suddenly descended, his feet touching the ground, and turned his head to look at Morningstar dissatisfied, surprised that Morningstar had not grasped what he meant. Floating back to its original height, Frass continued, "Forgive me for being careless, it should be the breath. ”
"How?" Morningstar asked.
Flas turned his body and looked at the air troops still fighting in the distant sky, a little melancholy, a little confused, and continued: "A hundred years ago, I had the privilege of participating in a battle with the Primordial Insect Force, and I had the privilege of personally fighting their commander. That guy was too strong for a dozen of us to defeat him. And the aura on your body is very close to him. ”
Morningstar misinterpreted Frass's meaning, thinking that the other party had doubts about his identity, and said unhappily, "Then you mean that you are doubting me?" ”
Frass smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "There is no need to be hostile to me, your experience has already been told to us by Elder Tula, so I won't doubt you, I mean, the gene in your body that belongs to the alien worm may come from that primitive alien worm, or even more ancient." ”
