vs 18 The Queen
&"Boom! "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
In the chaotic sound of gunfire, shouting and screaming, Mu Qianhe had no distractions, and calmly commanded the mecha artillery to bombard the stinging insect position outside the fortress, and more than forty thunder fire types were divided into four squads, each team was responsible for supporting one direction. In the continuous sound of artillery, one by one the stinging insect phalanx was blown apart. However, there were so many stinging insects that although the artillery had a longer range than the stinging insects, it simply could not stop their advance.
At this moment, the battle situation in the fortress was extremely tragic, cracks appeared in the city walls in all directions, and more than a third of the wolf clan legions in the northwest had been killed or wounded, but this was not bad, and more than half of the rest of the directions had been killed or wounded. Among them, the battle situation in the southeast was the most dangerous, and the three city walls were knocked open by the thunder beasts at the same time, and groups of cries mixed with self-exploding sandflies poured in. Arnold led the sixth squad to support, only to be dragged to his death, unable to get out for a moment.
The battle situation in the northwest, under the command of Tie Slag, Wang Hu, Jerome and others, killed the four thunder beasts respectively, and then used trucks to seal the only gap, and gradually regained the control of the city head.
With artillery support, the stinger positions in the northwest were bombarded in scattered pieces, and they could no longer form a large-scale threat. The soldiers who seized the city began a new round of strafing. Although all the "Iron Guts" rocket launchers have been sold out, there are still quite a few fragmentation grenades. The soldiers shot at the swarm of flies below as they threw fragmentation grenades into the crowd. After losing the cover of the thunderbeast and the stinging worm, the attack of the Crying Frog swarm gradually weakened. Except for a few who were able to climb the top of the city, most of them died on the way.
Taking advantage of this gap, Iron Slag spat out several mouthfuls of saliva at the corpses of the frogs beneath the city walls, hatching a large number of scout ants and scattering in search of the commander of the swarm.
It didn't take long for the swarms to fall in the northwest and the offensive to become weaker. Seeing that this side was defended, Tie Slag sent Wang Hu and Jerome to lead the team to support the defense in the northeast and southwest.
After about fifteen minutes, as the battle situation stabilized everywhere, the attack of the insect swarm gradually weakened, and then left the insect corpses everywhere and retreated.
As soon as the insect tide receded, Ju Amu, who had been slightly injured, immediately led a large number of backup personnel to the scene and began to repair the damaged city wall. They welded to the gaps with vehicles, stainless steel tables and chairs, or steel bars and steel sheets scattered around, and then piled them with furniture such as stones or lockers. Qin Ke'er led the medical team to run back and forth in the hall on the first floor of the fortress to rescue the seriously injured soldiers.
While the fortress was busy, Iron Slag and the soldiers who were not injured or lightly wounded remained at the head of the city, and continued to observe the movement of the swarm. At this moment, there was a stinging pain under his ribs, and it was estimated that several ribs were broken, but he didn't go down to receive treatment, just injected himself with an anesthetic to relieve some pain. Because this kind of internal injury requires surgery and cannot be healed immediately, it is of little significance to deal with it. And it won't be long before the next battle begins.
In the middle of his thoughts, Wang Hu took Arnold, Captain Nick, and another Academy Legion leader, Cheng Tong Owen, to Iron Slag and reported to him the battle damage, battle results, and remaining troops.
In terms of battle damage, more than half of the "Gushu Legion" defending the southeast side were killed or wounded, the regiment commander Yang Yigu was killed, and 30% of the seriously wounded were killed, and less than 20% of the personnel who could still fight remained, about 30 people. The losses of the wolf clan legion were smaller, and there were more than eighty people. In addition, after the other two legions, excluding the seriously wounded, there were forty percent of the soldiers left, and there were about ninety men in Calais.
In terms of results, 19 thunder beasts, about 4,000 frogs, and about 1,500 thorn worms were killed.
After listening to the battle report, Iron Slag straightened up, looked at the regrouping swarm in the distance, turned his head and asked, "What are your plans?" ”
Listening to his words, the four of them looked at each other and did not speak.
"I don't think the reinforcements will be able to arrive......" Iron Slag's gaze swept over the faces of the four people, and he said slowly.
"Alas......" The four of them sighed in unison, all with a lonely look on their faces.
Just as the four big men gathered together and sighed lamentingly, Mu Qianhe was leading the mechanic to check the status of the mecha. There are a lot of shells in the fortress, and you can fight a few more, but the wear and tear of the artillery is not optimistic. Just now, in order to reduce the pressure on the city, the artillery was basically overloaded. Now there are four thunderbolts paralyzed, and if the frequency of shelling just now is maintained, it is estimated that there will soon be no artillery available.
At the same time, in the hall on the first floor of the fortress, Qin Ke'er was carrying a hanging bottle, shuttling back and forth among the wounded soldiers, and the pure white battlefield nurse's robe had been dyed red. The wounded soldiers were lying on the ground with continuous wailing, some of their limbs were corroded by thick acid to the point that only the white bones remained, some large swaths of skin and flesh were torn, and even some of the chest and abdomen were cracked, and the organs were exposed......
"Nurse...... I'm in pain...... It hurts......"
Qin Ke'er came to the side of a seriously injured soldier, and while squatting down to give him an intravenous drip, he comforted him softly: "Good boy~ It will be fine soon~"
"Ah...... Qin Keer...... Are you Qin Ke'er? The cadet opened his eyes with difficulty, looked at Qin Ke'er's pretty face, and asked weakly.
"Hmm." "You...... You're so pretty......" "Thank you. Qin Ke'er raised her head and smiled faintly at him.
"I ...... Am I going to die? "No, it won't." "You...... You...... You can...... Proximity makes me ...... Let me see? The soldier said intermittently.
Qin Ke'er fixed the needle, put the tape on it, and then moved his body and moved closer to the soldier. But at this moment, a groping pig hand suddenly touched her upturned ass, and she suddenly let out an exclamation, and took a step back with a blushing face.
"Hah...... Haha......" The badly wounded soldier squirmed pale lips and let out a staccato laugh.
"Bad guy~" Qin Ke'er snorted lightly and was about to turn around and leave. Seeing this, the soldier hurriedly stretched out his hand and pleaded, "Wait...... Please wait...... Wait......"
"What's wrong? Bad thing......" she scolded, but couldn't bear to leave.
"Right...... I'm sorry...... I...... I still...... Not yet...... Touched ...... Woman...... Woman ......" The soldier said with a shy expression and breathlessness, "I ...... I...... I might ...... Live...... Can't live ......"
"No...... You'll be fine......" Qin Ke'er squatted down, clasped the soldier's hand with both hands, and comforted softly.
"Don't ...... Don't lie to me...... I...... I know...... Or...... Maybe...... I'm selfish...... Please...... Stay with me...... One minute...... Just a minute...... Good...... All right? As he spoke, his body twitched involuntarily.
"Okay." Qin Ke'er nodded vigorously.
"I ...... My dream ...... Only...... It is...... Yes...... Don't turn off the lights...... Don't turn off the lights...... I can't see you anymore...... Don't ......" as he spoke, the soldier suddenly struggled in horror, and in an instant, his wounds began to burst open, and viscous blood splattered everywhere.
"Don't be afraid! I'm here, Ke'er is here......" Qin Ke'er shouted as she jumped up and hugged him tightly, and the tears couldn't help but gush out.
"Cold ...... It's cold...... It's so cold......" In the last moments, he had a hint of serenity, as if he had fallen asleep forever.
It didn't take long for Qin Ke'er to let go of the gradually cold corpse, took a clean cotton yarn, wiped her tears, and then picked up another hanging bottle and walked to the next seriously injured person......
Three hours later, at 6 a.m. Silver City time and 25 a.m. Sett time, a white light flashed on the horizon, and it seemed that it was about to dawn.
"What's going on? Why haven't they attacked yet? Captain Nick came to the northwest wall, pointed to the unusually quiet swarm in the distance, and asked the fortress commander Sa.
"Could it be ......" Iron Slag crossed his hands over his chest, lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "Are they waiting for dawn?" ”
"The queen swarm doesn't need light to move, they usually live underground, and fighting at night is more beneficial to them unless they ......," Captain Nick mused.
"Unless what?" The porcupine on the side asked in a rough voice.
"The queen bee swarm ......," Captain Nick said with a slight hesitation.
In an instant, this sentence was like a bombshell thrown into the shore of a calm lake, and it suddenly exploded into consternation.
"No......" After a moment of silence, Bai Xiaoyun said dumbfoundedly.
"The probability is very low, and in a war of this scale, there will be no cooperation between the descendants." Jerome analyzed. In a bee ant swarm, the queen swarm is a ground combat unit, and the queen swarm is an air combat unit.
The general insect of the queen ant swarm is the master, the professional insect is the burrow worker ant, the soldier insect is the frog and the stinging worm, and the war insect is the thunder beast;
The queen bee swarm is the master worm, the staff worm is the crypt worker bee, the soldier worm is the frog and stinging bee, and the war bug is the scorpion.
Comparatively, the former tends to have brute strength and a thick carapace, while the latter tends to have a nimble flight and a thin carapace.
However, in the social structure of bee ant colonies, the posterior insects and the posteriors are relatively independent individuals, and there is a fierce competition and the contradiction of territorial competition. As a result, they rarely cooperate with each other, except in a large-scale all-out war. However, in the current form, the scale of this war is not large.
"No, there is another possibility......" Wang Hu glanced around at everyone and said slowly, "Queen." ”
The moment these two words blurted out, everyone involuntarily took a breath. Wang Hu's speculation is to rise from one dangerous possibility to another, an even more dangerous possibility.
Among the bee ant colonies, there are three forms of queen insects, namely the queen bee, the queen ant, and the queen.
Unlike the other two descendants, the Queen is a combination of humans, Eltas, or other sapient beings in the multiverse. Even the lowest-level Abyss Queen has a strength no less than that of the human holy rank. Not only that, but they also have good communication skills with intelligent beings. Although it is difficult for the queen to cooperate with the queen and the queen, it is a different story between the queen and the queen, especially the queen who has transformed into a strong human female.
They are usually cunning, bloodthirsty, and changeable, leaving no room for choice.
