Chapter 21: The Tomb of the Dead
readx;?? On this border planet with desert as the main terrain, the world that should be quiet was broken by a sound from the sky. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
A large number of unmanned fighters in the high altitude are breaking through the planet's atmosphere and starting to cruise at high altitude. Immediately after that, countless landing ships appeared one after another from the clouds in the sky, and then quickly headed for the wilderness below.
As the huge hull slowly came to a halt, the large landing ship immediately opened the landing hatch. Then rows of heavily armed Revucet warriors came down and began to quickly go on the alert.
Immediately after that, heavy armored vehicles and mobile suits also came out of the landing ships and began to assemble rapidly.
The purpose of some of Xiahoulin's actions this time was to obtain an intact space undead catacomb. Because these special ribs are in the safety of their own dormant place. The main buildings are built beneath the surface, so it is imperative to send in ground troops to enter them.
Of course, if you want to destroy these catacombs, it is very simple to rely on special means such as orbital bombardment of the Brilliant Weapon Battle Group, but this time the task is to capture.
With the release of a large number of reconnaissance aircraft and ground reconnaissance robots on the landing ship, a comprehensive exploration of this barren planet has begun.
Xiahoulin only knew that there was a large tomb of space undead on this planet, but he didn't know the specific location. Therefore, it is necessary for your own troops to explore this place.
As a result, all kinds of reconnaissance planes, like hornets, began to launch an all-round search operation on this desolate planet.
At the same time, the Brilliant Weapon battle group located in the orbit of the planet is also using detection equipment to directly observe every move on the ground, without letting go of any suspicious electromagnetic signals.
"Space undead are a whole new enemy. Hopefully, their technology is worth collecting. Qiu Yue looked at the area where the reconnaissance plane had searched on the screen, and there were many places here that did not even find a trace of creatures except for some metal minerals.
It can be said that such planets, except for those that are used for mineral gathering. If we want to make it a habitable planet for humans, we will need to carry out large-scale environmental transformation.
"In the galaxy of this dimensional world, the technology in the hands of the space undead forces is probably the most advanced. However, these guys, after defeating their ruler, the Star God, all fell into a deep sleep. At this time, the combat effectiveness of these guys is probably the lowest moment. It's just where we start! Xiahou Lin said with a smile in his seat, in this world. After several battles, your side has mastered the safest survival strategy.
As long as it does not attract the attention of the major forces, then the Brilliant Weapon battle group will continue to operate in the galaxy with ease.
And this time, the target space undead, although it has the most advanced technology among the major forces. But these guys, in addition to being fully awake, are just a group of live targets with weak defenses.
"After such a large-scale ground battle, can the tombs of those space undead be guaranteed to be intact?" Laxis looked at Xiahoulin and asked, because the battle on the ground was definitely not going to be easy.
After all, as the ruler of the galaxy in the past, when the space undead choose to sleep, they will not fail to arrange a defense force just in case. Once you fight those defensive forces, then any accident can happen.
Moreover, in the heat of battle, it is impossible for your own troops to retain their strength. If you do that, it's an act of death.
"Try your best, let the troops destroy the opponent's defenses first. Then send our Awakened Space Marines to break into those tombs as quickly as possible to deal with the enemies inside. Jilena said calmly at this time, and the battle plan she made was to fight quickly. Whenever possible, send troops out to take full control of the target before those space undead awaken.
At this time, several signals suddenly came on the screen in front of everyone. After the discovery of man-made structures and electromagnetic waves, the reconnaissance plane sent back a report.
Immediately, the attention of Xiahou Lin and the others was attracted by this signal, so they all looked there. Immediately after that, the scene reconnaissance was teleported back to the command room of the Brilliant Weapon.
"Looks like we've found the entrance to the catacombs of the space undead." Xia Houlin looked at the huge black metal gates half-submerged under the small hill in the middle of the screen. It has a special symbol of the space undead in his memory.
"Order, the units began to act according to the plan." Gilena gave the order to act as soon as possible, and began to calmly watch every move on the screen.
Xiahoulin, Laxis, and Qiuyue didn't bother Jilena at the moment, they all knew that the commander was about to start directing the next battle wholeheartedly.
The legion of the living on the surface of the planet quickly rushed towards the location of the space necromantic tomb. Subsequently, a front-line combat command was set up on the spot and began to act according to the plan.
With the sound of tracks pressing against the ground, three hundred of the latest Wolf Fighting heavy self-propelled guns rushed to the predetermined shelling positions from a distance and began to assemble.
These are super-heavy self-propelled guns that are thirty-five meters long and weigh more than two hundred tons. Although a large amount of light alloy was used, it was still weighed to this extent due to the main guns of the battleship class of the old era.
Since the Haulin and his party obtained the data of Keown's YMT-05 "Wolf Warrior" as a prototype mobile tank during the one-year war in "Mobile Suit Gundam", they have begun to produce this modification.
And this wolf fighting tank is still in the world of "Halo". It was the human army that was engaged in the battle against the Star Alliance. Therefore, a large number of valuable practical data were obtained, which provided help for the follow-up improvement plan.
As a result, the research department of the Brilliant Vessel has developed a whole series of super-heavy armored vehicles based on the YMT-05 "Wolf Warrior" tank.
For example, the wolf fighting self-propelled gun, which uses traditional tracks and artillery, and is mainly responsible for long-distance ground battlefield artillery shelling tasks.
An assault Wolf Warrior tank with an anti-gravity system, capable of moving quickly in all terrain, with a large electromagnetic cannon installed. Transformed into a peculiar wolf fighting tank that launches rockets and personnel carriers.
As a result, with the Wolf Fighting series tanks and MS troops as the core, the ground heavy armored force of the Brilliant Weapon Battle Group was formed.
After the armored unit has fully entered the preset position, the reconnaissance robot in front of the front is responsible for opening the way, and begins to test the entrance of those space undead.
When the robot tries to use a plasma cutter and starts cutting through doors made of unknown metal. Suddenly, the doors opened with a bang.
The next moment, a large group of densely packed, car-sized mechanical spiders emerged from within the gate. Then quickly drowned those path-finding robots directly.
These mechanical spiders are the space undead, a robot known as the Crypt Spider, who protects and tended to the cemetery while they are asleep. They were given the command to eliminate any targets that could endanger the catacombs, and to buy time for the undead in the catacombs to awaken if necessary.
After easily overwhelming the robots, the Tomb Spiders immediately spotted the Legion of the Resurrected in the distance. So these mechanical guards immediately pounced on these targets at great speed.
In an instant, an army of machines formed by tomb spiders formed in the wasteland. And in the process of advancing at a rapid speed, some of them even dived underground and began to prepare for a surprise attack on their target.
The Wolf Fighting Self-Propelled Artillery Legion, which had already entered the battle mode, aimed the 406 mm plus howitzer at the army of tomb spiders on the other side of the hill in the distance.
was already in space orbit, and Gilena, who saw all this, gave the order as soon as possible. The front-line infantry units quickly retreated, and artillery fire began to cover it.
When those dense tomb spiders crossed the red line that had already been marked. The Wolf Fighting self-propelled guns of the artillery regiment began to launch a devastating salvo attack into the distance.
The dense high-explosive grenade flew out of the cannon port of Changchao in an instant. It flew in a parabolic direction into the distance. Within seconds, it had traveled a distance of more than 60 kilometers and crashed into the target area.
The high-explosive grenade with powerful explosive power instantly bloomed in the army of tomb spiders. The shockwave instantly spread out in all directions, blasting the mechanical objects in the rush into the air, turning the mechanical bodies into a pile of broken parts.
Although the Tomb Spider has the ability to quickly repair damaged mechs, it is under the heavy bombardment of high-explosive grenades. They didn't even have a chance before they exploded into piles of useless parts.
Under such continuous bombardment, the areas that had been bombarded by grenades were already covered with the shattered bodies of the tomb spiders. The dust was blown into the air by the explosion, and could be observed from a distance.
However, such an offensive could not stop the unmanned weapon forces under the command of the space necromancer, and gradually out of those passages, mechanical insect-type enemies carrying beam weapons emerged.
And the Legion of the Resurrected, which already had a plan to deal with this, immediately launched the next plan. In the rear of the artillery positions, a hundred hovering rocket launchers had been waiting for a long time.
These large rockets with a caliber of 400 mm poured dense fire of destruction into the target area in front of them in an instant.
In an instant, the army of tomb spiders, which was still dense, was completely submerged in the explosion of rockets. The severed limbs that were splashed away by the shock wave were simply everywhere.
Such attacks come quickly and end quickly. In less than five minutes. The shelling of the Living Regiment was stopped, and at this time, the reconnaissance planes in the high altitude of the battlefield had already transferred the reconnaissance information of the shelled area back to the unit headquarters.
In those areas that have been hit by heavy fire, the terrain on the ground has been completely destroyed. There were craters of all sizes, and the wreckage of the machinery was scattered all around.
Because of the shock wave of the powerful explosion, the smoke and dust that should have appeared have been blown clean, leaving only an extremely quiet scene.
In response to this effect, the indifferent ground commander of the Revitar Force calmly gave the order for the infantry corps to advance, targeting the cobwebs of the tombs that had been exposed.
The heavily armed Resurrection soldiers poured into the dark passage without hesitation, exploring the depths of the tomb. These cold-blooded, ruthless reformers were ordered to eliminate all threatening objects in the catacomerium and maintain the integrity of the underground structures as much as possible.
At this moment, there was a sudden and noticeable tremor on the ground. Immediately afterward, the ground in the distance gradually cracked. Many huge pyramid-shaped objects broke through the ground and appeared on the surface.
These massive pyramid structures are the fortresses of the tombs that the space undead used to defend them. An advanced defense with a large number of weapons that can automatically attack.
For thousands of years, the Tomb Fortress has been quietly established in the catacombs of the space undead. Whenever a powerful intruder comes in, they are automatically activated, and they act as appropriate.
After the Crypt Spider army was wiped out, the Resurrection Legion quickly invaded the underground passages. The Tomb Fortress that reacted immediately began to act, and they will use their fierce firepower to block the continued invasion of the enemy's follow-up troops.
As for the enemies who have already entered the passage of the tomb, there will naturally be another guard to clean it up. And the more important task of these tomb fortresses is to delay the enemy's offensive. Let the space undead who have already started the awakening process have enough time to wake up in a large area, and then gather forces to launch a counterattack.
For those tomb fortresses that had risen from the ground, the Resurrection Infantry Legion simply did not give them a second thought. The beam cannons that were close at hand were completely non-existent, and they continued to speed up their pace and rush towards the passage. There are even some interstellar soldiers who are mixed in.
The forts of the tomb fortress turned their muzzles one after another, and quickly locked on to those resurrection soldiers. But before these defenses could launch an offensive, attacks from the ground and sky in the distance had already taken the lead in killing.
The large-caliber electromagnetic cannon of the assault wolf fighting tank has already issued accurate direct artillery fire towards these targets that have already been locked.
The air that the heavy alloy warhead cuts through at great speed under electromagnetic acceleration. With a conspicuous tail flame, it slammed into the turret of the ancient tomb fortress.
The powerful penetrating power brought by pure kinetic energy instantly caused terrifying destructive power on the hard metal armor of the tomb fortress.
The impact force of the heavy metal armor-piercing projectile under electromagnetic acceleration forcibly tore through the hard armor plates of the tomb fortress. The ensuing impact further shattered the parts of the turret from the inside.
And at this time, an even more deadly blow came from the sky. The drone fighter spotted the breaches in the tomb fortresses and immediately dropped plasma bombs on them.
The next moment, the devastating plasma plasma immediately spread inside the tomb fortress, burning everything it encountered.
