Chapter 36: Reckoning
"Seventy seconds countdown, sixty-nine seconds, sixty-eight secondsγγγγγγγ"
The boy stared at the hint on his tactical glasses as he stared at the snowball that was getting bigger and bigger in front of him.
The movement of this snowball has attracted the attention of many of the remaining insects in the camp, but almost none of the patrols in the camp have been sent out, so there is a rare silence in the huge imperial military camp at this moment, and this snowball that is getting bigger and bigger erupts into a loud sound in this silence.
In fact, not enough people were looking at the movements, but partly because the huge snowball was clearly rolling towards the emptiest part of the entire camp---- huge square between the low-level swarm and the commanding lair.
In addition to storing some high-energy gas canisters left by humans, the square is usually used by Captain Gucha to train people.
The high-energy gas was placed in the square for fear that if a guerrilla attack on the camp, the flammable materials would be used as a resource for the explosion.
Stacked on a square with a diameter of four or five hundred meters, no matter how much it is blown up, it is just a firework, and it will not cause any harm to the camp.
Besides, who would use the square as a sneak target, or an important place to occupy... In addition to a bunch of high-energy gas canisters left in the snow, standing on it you will find that on the square of 100,000 square meters, there is not even an object that can be used to block, which is basically equivalent to a clear target, pure death...
The first to spot this big snowball were the three thunderbeast commanders who were sending out the last few patrol groups.
Thunderbeasts, the quintessential backbone of a hybrid unit, have strong muscles and solid plate armor, and are three or four meters tall to resemble a lizard walking upright.
It's a pity that not only are they not slow to react, but they are even discovered in the end, these tall and strong guys are the core partners of the weak scorpion commander!
These thunderbeasts have an extremely tacit ability to communicate with each other, and at the same time, they can also use the primitive method of infrasound waves to carry out individual control accurate to the individual in small-scale battles, so in terms of command power in small-scale battles, they are far superior to scorpions.
In the hybrid troops, these sturdy thunder beast commanders, together with the scorpion monsters that can deploy troops on a large scale, form a perfect combination of mid-level tactical intelligence.
Moreover, their strong melee ability and armor have made a large number of human elite warriors who have sneak attacks and priority to eliminate the scorpion commanders fall into a dead position, because they can't quickly kill these thunder beasts that protect the scorpion commanders, resulting in many classic tactics all failing, and in the early days of these thunder beasts, countless excellent warriors died honorably because of miscalculation and empiricism.
"Roar~~~~~~ hoo!"
Although this snowball is getting bigger and bigger, but looking at the strange landing point, the three thunder beasts can't help but look at each other...
Everyone has an IQ, not to mention whether there are people in this snow group, even if they can hide, and if they can still have breath when they come out, how strong the creatures will be stunned, and then jump out of the square and fight them?
Don't do it yourself... The large number of bone spur spitting worms on duty in the polar night, who were lazily lying in the camp to make up for their rest, would get up in minutes and prick them all into hedgehogs, and then these bugs would be able to go back to pick up the dreams they had before, if they could dream.
This square is right in the middle of the whole camp, and as soon as you get out of the barracks and the hive, the spitting worms will form a siege around this square, and it is the kind that does not leak in all directions and has its own barrel of explosives.
Even if you miss, as long as you blow up the pile of high-energy gas canisters in the center of the square, you can watch them be set off with fireworks...
So, until one of the thunderbeasts saw Garbo lurking in the large amount of snow and dust caused by the snowball, it was still not surprised or threatened.
When they arrived as an advance party, the guerrillas attacked the battalion were much more frequent and numerous.
At first, they were quite passionate, but these guys only hit a few times, and they didn't even have a decent team of war mechs.
Purely physical humans, even if they wear the power armor of a mechanical exoskeleton, are no match for the swarm at all.
Only those robots that integrate human killing technology and are often more than ten meters tall can potentially harm high-level bugs.
It's a pity, since Andrew Engineering treasoned and the three strongest forces of the Federal Armored Academy disappeared,
The Federation's mechs were almost completely paralyzed, especially the guerrilla forces that could not be contacted by the central government forces.
