Chapter 34: Overwhelming Superiority
A newly grown sacred tree, although it has not yet grown from a small sapling to a forest like its ancestors, is already flourishing and has begun to see grandeur.
A small part of its drooping branches had touched the ground, and had grown roots, and was trying to burrow into the ground, but then it had a bit of bad luck, and a downed transport airship fell from the sky, and the place where it fell was not far away, but it was not close, so the impact was not small, but not large. And a piece of metal was blown away by the explosion of the airship's fuel depot, severing the drooping branches.
Although fortunately this branch has taken root in the ground, such a lazy waist is also doomed to its tragic fate in the future - it has to use such a weak body to compete with the former main body around it, and in this competition, as a congenital deficiency, it is destined to have no chance of winning.
Maybe it's because of this, its remaining branches are piled up on the ground as if to lament its ill-fated fate.
But even in this case, it did something good.
Beautiful teeth are hidden under this clump of branches.
Mei Ya used a quadruple sight as a telescope to observe the crashed airship, and found that the airship had been fatally injured, the onset was relatively slow, but it was unstoppable, and the combat robot on board broke through the metal wall of the airship and jumped off the airship. There are also three mechanical praying mantises, who are apparently in the role of flight attendants at this time. They unfurled the gangplank from the outside, and two large, medium-caliber smoothbore guns stepped out of the gangplank, and the mechanical mantis hurriedly ran into the burning airship, and a short time later ran out of the engine room with equipment boxes, apparently rushing supplies and ammunition.
Unfortunately, although there are ten combat robots surviving, there is a clear division of labor among the robots, and no one else can do the work that the mechanical mantis can do.
The combat robot is equipped with a rotating machine gun, which has a fast rate of fire, strong firepower, and fast ammunition consumption, so logistics supply is very important, looking at the supplies carried by the three mechanical mantises, Meiya plans to find a way to blow them all up.
However, luck seems to be on Meiya's side, and when the three mechanical mantis are running on the gangplank, another big explosion occurs in the cabin, which lifts all three mechanical mantis into the air, and one of the equipment boxes almost hits Meiya's head, causing her neck to shrink.
One of the three mechanical mantis was completely destroyed, the other became a neurotic that would only spin in place, and only one was well preserved, although it was a little lame, but the function did not completely disappear.
Seeing this as an opportunity, Miya crept out of her hideout, glued a plastic ** with a timer to the nearest crate, and dodged behind the sacred tree.
It didn't take long for the injured mechanical mantis to begin collecting supplies scattered on the ground, including the one with the ** on the beautiful teeth.
As the mechanical mantis went away, Meiya breathed a sigh of relief - just now she had been worried about being discovered by the mechanical mantis, the distance between the two sides was too close, as if the mechanical mantis was also alert, once gave up the collection, and looked around, but fortunately, there was no danger, Meiya returned to the observation point, the back and bottom of the stump.
All the robots retreated to a safer place, and the airship continued to burn, emitting an unpleasant smell.
The mechanical mantis began to overhaul each other, but just when it was about to be repaired, the ** installed by the beauty tooth exploded again, and the head of one mechanical mantis was blown off, and the other forelimb was damaged and lost its maintenance function.
The combat robots began to leave and headed for the direction of the base camp, where they would attack without a supply of ammunition and without maintenance support.
The surviving mechanical praying mantis spun around in place, but it could not complete even the most basic functions of a transportation platform.
However, the dental treatment must be 100% safe. She waited patiently.
Finally, the heavy footsteps of the battle robot completely disappeared into the dense forest, and Meiya stepped vigilantly out of the hideout.
The mechanical praying mantis sensed the danger, but its functions were severely impaired in all aspects, and it was unable to defend itself effectively, so it could only spin around in a frenzied manner.
The beauty tooth easily glued another piece of plastic ** to its body, and a few seconds later** exploded, and its pain was over.
Mei Ya breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, the burning of the airship became more and more violent, Mei Ya was worried about being affected by the next explosion, and was about to retreat, but found that another creature crawled out of the burning airship, this person's body size is very close to that of a human, but only the upper half of the body, and it is on fire, this is definitely not a human.
However, this half of the body still aroused the curiosity of the beautiful teeth, because so far, no such human mechanism has been found.
Mei Ya ventured forward and helped fight the flames on Half of the Man, but it seemed too late, and by the time the fire was extinguished, Half Man would not move, but Mei Ya found that the Half Man had not been cut in half by some force, butβit had been made to look like this at all, like a screw, although it had a metal head similar to that of a human.
Miya couldn't guess what this guy was doing, so she simply took a picture of it, and then jumped away from the scene, trying to stay as far away as possible from the exploding airship, and continuing to track the whereabouts of the combat robot.
There are three airships flying over the base camp, and the other two have not yet arrived.
Ah Jun ordered all anti-aircraft firing groups to prohibit shooting, because the firepower of the anti-aircraft firing group was nothing in the face of the huge transport airship, both in terms of range and power.
Only 23-mm anti-aircraft guns conducted exploratory fire.
Four twin 23-mm anti-aircraft guns hit the fire, aimed at the belly of an airship, and shot desperately at what was suspected to be a hatch position, the airship seemed to be scared and began to escape, but it was too late, there was a huge explosion in the belly of the airship, the airship disintegrated in the air, and all kinds of debris rained down from the sky, like a metal storm.
Jun realizes that he is wrong, he should not be here, the Normans have a much more powerful weapon system than they predicted.
Sure enough, while the ground personnel of the base camp were hiding from the metal storm falling from the sky, only the gunners of the 23-mm anti-aircraft guns still held on to their posts, so they suffered heavy losses, which greatly weakened the firepower of the anti-aircraft guns, so the remaining two airships finally arrived at the intended target, and the hatch in the belly slowly opened.
Ah Jun said to the air crew, "What else can we do?" β
The air crew commander said slowly: "Run, hide, and pray." β
The airship dropped two huge **, and because ** was so huge, it was even equipped with a parachute.
Ah Jun gave the evacuation order, and all the anti-air firearms were fired, hoping to stop the catastrophe.
But to no avail, with two loud bangs, making people mistakenly think that the whole planet was trembling because of this, two huge mushroom clouds rose from the base camp one after another, and the gusting wind caused by the shock wave blew down the surrounding trees, and then everything returned to silence.
At a distance of about twenty kilometers from the bombing point of the base camp, there was a makeshift camp. The main force of the base camp led by Irina and the military representatives of the various city-states were mostly stationed here.
This was a plan of retreat that had been made before, and the Normans had come prepared, with a huge war machine, not a makeshift cobbled-together army that few heavily armed coalitions could handle. But this battle must be fought, because fighting is also a kind of contact, and only by fighting can the weakness of the enemy's war machine be discovered.
Looking at the mushroom cloud rising in the direction of the base camp, everyone's mood was very heavy, and the probability of surviving such a huge explosion was too low.
"Your Excellency." An adjutant approached Irina and asked, "What should we do?" β
Irina said firmly: "The reconnaissance team remained to be responsible for observation and rescue, and the others continued to retreat. β
Meiya also saw the tragedy of the base camp in the forest, her angina was painful, her hand touched the flower shovel given to her by Ah Jun, her legs were weak, and she knelt on the ground, with tears in her eyes.
"I'm planning to have a litter of rabbits with you." Mei Ya muttered to herself, grief-stricken.
But she is a well-trained elite warrior after all, and she quickly returns to normal, burying her grief in her heart, holding back tears, and continuing to track down the Norman robot.
After learning that Meiya was on guard near the fallen Norman airship, Ah Jun took care of his own selfishness and sent a search and rescue force, mainly composed of tree elves and leopard people, but Kekexi also joined in.
The small force also witnessed the explosion at the base camp and was eager to take revenge, but Cocosi stopped the reckless and useless act, and after a brief argument, they continued on their way, intending to gather the scouts and fixed posts they could along the way, and then make a detour through the jungle and return to the control area of the city-state alliance.
But they ran headlong into a Norman unit of combat robots.
It's an encounter.
At first, the mecha unit had the upper hand with its superior firepower and protection, but the search and rescue team was composed of mutants who were good at surviving in the forest, so they quickly formed a formation and disappeared into the dense forest.
Losing sight of the enemy, the robot began to scatter in search, but at that moment, the search and rescue team launched a counterattack.
Kekexi is tall, powerful, and has four arms, so her weapons and equipment are also very special.
Her main weapon is a 12.7 mm caliber assault rifle, which is custom-made, and its prototype is an anti-materiel rifle, and the shooting accuracy is also maintained after being converted into an assault rifle, so in many cases, Kekexi prefers to snipe opponents by point fire, especially for this kind of combat robot, three burst shots can not only ensure accuracy, but also ensure effective killing.
Her serpentine body wrapped around a large tree branch, aimed at the weaker back armor of a combat robot, and pulled the trigger.
