Chapter 5: The Battle Begins
In the depths of the nebula, from time to time one or two huge meteorites are revealed. Because of the magnetic field, the light of the nebulae near them became unusually thin. It took two days for the spacecraft to find its destination in the nebula. As the spacecraft slowly descended, Chenping and the others woke up from their slumber one by one to prepare for the landing.
There are a total of seven ships that have entered the Nebula, and in addition to five of them are troop carriers, two are ships that transport equipment. It's just that the equipment of the two ships is owned by the regular army and technicians of the military department, and it has nothing to do with Chenping's mercenary team. After the spaceship landed, all the mercenaries had a look of envy on their faces as they watched the regular army transport truckloads of equipment down from the equipment ship and quickly build fortifications. And seeing the tall and mighty humanoid mecha of others, Chenping looked at his "beetle shell" again, and immediately felt that it was short and ugly, so ugly!
Chenping's mecha is still "Beetle Type II", with six mechanical feet installed under a turret, which looks like an iron beetle. This kind of rudimentary standard mecha is actually a mobile turret, and for a novice like Chenping, there are also a few models that can barely be piloted. But even so, the inside of this Beetle II was repaired by the mechanics of the team, which greatly slowed down the internal shock and impact of the mecha, so that Chenping could sit on it and drive.
"I don't know what the boss thinks, but he insists on bringing this waste that hasn't even awakened the star beast?" The one who spoke was a gopher from the Iron Wolves, piloting a beast-shaped mecha - the Driller.
"Who told him to kill the crow!" The gopher is chatting privately with the lizard, and he is also piloting the beast-shaped exclusive aircraft, the lizard-shaped lurker. At this time, he looked at the beetle type two at the back of the team, and said mockingly: "But it's really enough to embarrass him!" The current mecha design is not what it used to be, most of them take rough routes, and without the protection of star beasts, it is also a question of whether his body board can survive to the end of the mission? ”
"Don't let the mechanical monkey hear this, or he won't let you go!" The gopher quipped.
"As far as the modification technology of the three-legged cat is concerned, it's just one thing for him!" The lizard replied unscrupulously.
"Woo......" At this moment, a long siren sounded. Everyone couldn't help but be taken aback, and looked around to see what was going on?
"Enemy attack, prepare for battle!" The iron wolf's flat voice sounded, which made the nervous Chenping involuntarily calm down a little.
One monster after another slowly approached the camp, their huge bodies and glowing streamers making them look unusually powerful. However, the brutes did not attack immediately, but watched as the people in the camp gradually formed a circle. The huge number of monsters made Chenping very nervous, and although he had practiced many times virtually, he couldn't help but feel a sense of weakness and fear when he really faced the enemy.
"Don't be afraid, just shoot like you did during practice!" The mechanical monkey next to Chenping reminded.
"What is this?" After calming down his emotions for a while, Chen Ping asked curiously.
"It's just a normal 'magneto-optical beast', and its habits are somewhat similar to that of wolves. But now we have enough firepower, so there won't be much danger! The mechanical monkey said as he set up its long-range machine guns, ready to attack.
"Roar ......" The magneto-light beasts suddenly let out a roar and rushed frantically in the direction of the camp.
"Attack!" Suddenly an order came from the camp, and the regular soldiers of the first squadron took the lead in attacking, followed by the mercenaries. But the novices who were forcibly summoned, their reactions were a little unable to keep up, and it wasn't until those magneto-optical beasts pounced in front of them that they took action, unleashing panicked artillery fire.
"This bunch of garbage...... The stars shine! Seeing the madness of the herd and the clumsiness of the recruits, the veterans couldn't help but curse. However, once the defense line is breached, the consequences are unimaginable, and they have no choice but to help. Hundreds of rays of light flew out of their mechs, striking the magneto-optical beasts that had rushed into the defensive line. It was then ingested into the light and returned to the mech like lightning.
"Charge, don't let go!" The appearance of those mecha that captured the magneto-optical beast suddenly changed, exuding a strange brilliance as if they had awakened life, and the power of the cannon fire was instantly increased by more than several times, completely suppressing the impact of the magneto-optical beast group for a while. And the matter was not over there, the regular troops of the first squadron immediately launched a charge, and more than a hundred golden mechs rushed into the beast herd like a sharp knife, and forced a large hole in the beast herd.
Seeing hundreds of mechs charging and rushing away the beasts in the sky, Chenping was stunned. Although he had seen this situation countless times in the video, when he was really there, he was still deeply shocked by this scene. The mecha team was like no one, and all the magneto-light beasts were like lambs in front of them, without the slightest threat. His heart was instantly filled with blood, and he couldn't wait to rush forward together and become a part of the mecha team!
"Keep up!" Iron Wolf's serious voice came from the signalman, and Chenping immediately calmed down, shooting steadily while moving forward with the team. Due to the advance of the first squadron, the beast herd had been completely dispersed, and the soldiers of the detection team instantly gained an overwhelming advantage, and the old fighters such as Iron Wolf immediately led their team forward when they saw this.
Although the anti-vibration power of the Beetle II's artillery has decreased a lot, it still makes Chenping a little unbearable under the continuous attacks, and after just a while, his hands have been completely numb and he has almost lost his senses. It's just that Chenping didn't dare to relax at all, and held the launcher tightly, for fear that if he relaxed, the artillery attack would stop. He knew that his ability was not high, and he was very lucky to be able to enter the team of the Iron Wolf, and if his performance was a little more unreliable, he would really only become a burden, so he desperately supported it, and did not dare to relax until he heard the order to stop firing.
There were a lot of magneto-light beasts that attacked this time, but they were quickly defeated in the face of the powerful firepower of the detection team. Seeing that the momentum was not right, the remnants of the magneto-optical beasts all turned around and fled, and the people of the detection team did not continue to pursue, but began to gather their ranks and stopped the pace of attack. As soon as he heard the order of the armistice, Chenping's nerves relaxed, and then his abdomen tumbled, and he immediately vomited uncontrollably!
The beetleshell's cabin suddenly opened, and a foul smell rushed out. Chenping finally reached out and pressed the clean button to clean the smell and debris in the driver's compartment. After taking a few breaths of fresh air, Chenping's face barely improved. And at this moment, the fuselage was suddenly hit hard, almost making him unsteady on his feet. If it weren't for the beetle shell supported by six mechanical legs, I'm afraid he would have really fallen to the ground!
"Kid, good!" A huge mechanical ape's head stretched out in front of Chenping, and the sound of a mechanical monkey complimented him in the transmitter.
"I didn't do anything either!" Although he was uncomfortable, Chenping was very happy at this time. Because he knew that in addition to Iron Wolf, the other team members also began to accept him gradually!
