Chapter 462: The Clarion Call of War - The Battle for Resources

"Dut...... Honk...... ......The red warning lights flickered in front of the landing module door of the space battleship, and Qi stared nervously at the warning lights that were even brighter than the red robes of the Trinity Divine Sect missionary priest. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Behind him, the trainees of the third formation waited anxiously in full armor, and some of them were trembling because they couldn't control their emotions.

"Di ......" Yin Hong's warning light turned from red to green, and Qi stood up almost subconsciously, until he was stunned for a second or two before shouting, "Rush!" He immediately rushed to the hatch that was opening quickly.

This is the asteroid No. 08-10031, and the Tanuki-1 probe detected the core area of the asteroid belt where there are valuable resource bonanzas. Asteroid 08-10031 is the largest star in the entire mining area, more than 15 kilometers in diameter, irregular broad bean-shaped, surrounded by relatively high ridges, and a very large and gentle basin in the center.

But don't let your guard down because of the flat terrain here, you must know that just over this small basin about five kilometers in diameter, the tenth cavalry of the Knights of the Purple Chime Flower lost more than a dozen Sky Knights - all of them were destroyed by anti-aircraft fire set up on the plain.

There are signs that as the date of the Crescent War draws closer, many of the celestial people who are dormant in space have begun to recover. Therefore, mining resources during this time period is tantamount to entering the dragon's lair and robbing the dragon's property. If you don't carry a few forbidden spells in your arms, and then lead a group of martial gods and martial saints or something, no matter how bold you are, you don't dare to come over.

For this operation, Cheng Mingli and they have invested enough. The full space fleet was transferred to two (the Dyson space fleet is relatively small, and if one fleet is full, there will be only twenty or thirty 500-meter-long space warships, plus some small auxiliary ships), plus the Purple Chime Flower Knights as the main force of the landing and the other two full knights, the total strength has almost reached more than 5,000 people. Such a military operation is already considered a space battle in the eyes of Dyson people.

The space warships of the "Private Custom" Venture Capital Group are all built by Mingcan's underground base, and the shipbuilding factory is located at the bottom of the endless sea below the cliff of the 1259 Education Institute. Emptie the seawater inside the shipbuilding factory through the force field, and then build a space battleship in a confined environment. After the completion of the battleship, it lifted off directly from the bottom of the sea and anchored at the Baleen Valley Air Harbor, not far from the 1259 Education Institute.

When the space fleet of the private custom venture capital group first appeared, it caused a great sensation in the entire fifth region, after all, there are nearly 2,000 "super warships" that are difficult to build even if many principalities are poor and a country is poor. Two thousand space warships are almost equivalent to nearly a hundred space fleets, and even the four powerful empires of this scale can hardly afford the terrifying maintenance costs.

The results of the sensation were mixed, but on the bright side, in just a week after the appearance of the spaceship, there were more than thousands of private custom venture capital groups that had turned to private custom venture capital groups, and they were concerned about the increase in the rate of terror by tens or hundreds every day. In the past two months, more than 5,000 of their clubs have gathered in Cheng Mingli, and the number of people has reached 700,000.

However, the quality of these people is uneven, and they can't form the same combat effectiveness as the Purple Chime Flower Knights in a short period of time. Therefore, most of the newcomers were arranged on the training ground for two months of assault training, and finally a combat force of 50,000 to 100,000 people was selected from it, and the rest were all sent to defend the fortress and the logistics department.

After all, Cheng Mingli and they did not plan to unify the Dyson civilization by force during the Crescent War, so the scale of the battle would not be very large. The reason why so many people are recruited is just to provide a life-saving environment for these people, otherwise, out of 700,000 people, it would be good to have 70,000 people who can survive in the end.

There are also bad aspects, such as other forces are obviously wary of private custom groups and deliberately alienated. Not only that, but the forces led by the Four Great Empires and the Three-God God Cult are also thinking of annexing the power of private custom venture capital groups. During this time, there have been a lot of overt and covert threats.

"Knock...... Boom...... The gravity on the surface of the asteroid 08-10031 was almost non-existent, and the riders were in a state ......of weightlessness after breaking out of the landing ship. At this time, even if you jump the surface of the asteroid, you will directly get rid of the gravitational acceleration of the asteroid and fly directly away from the asteroid.

Therefore, maintaining the stability of the formation in a low-gravity environment becomes a very difficult task. The knights' solution to this problem was to use the vector thrust engines equipped on the combat armor. At the moment of contact with the ground, the thrust engine automatically adjusts its direction to produce continuous thrust in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the asteroid, "pressing" the riders on the asteroid.

"Pay attention to vigilance, the scout team walks around the formation within 200 meters of fire reconnaissance, the main force quickly maintains the formation, and provides support to the firefight at any time" Qi gave the order to the soldiers to attack through the command link, and then clenched the particle gun in his hand and followed the team forward quickly.

Before the team landed, the Space Fleet's attack ships had already saturated the ground defenses of the Skystars with small particle cannons. The attacks from the battleship's close-in guns and space torpedoes dropped by space fighters have blown up craters tens of meters in diameter on the plains, and flashes of explosions can still be seen in some places. Fortunately, there is no air in space, otherwise I am afraid that this plain would still be burning right now.

"Whoosh...... Whoosh......" particle beams streaked through space in a straight golden line, knocking out the scouts in front of the team. The knight's screams only lasted less than two seconds before they stopped, there was no air in space, and once the sealed armor was damaged, and the sealing gel had no time to seal it, then the wounded were basically dead.

The man in front was unlucky, the particle beam directly destroyed the helmet, and there was no time left for the emergency medical system to work. With the soldier killed, the vector propulsion engine also lost its balance, and the knight's body flew up from the surface of the asteroid like a meteorite in an asteroid belt, and then disappeared into the darkness of space.

"Is it distracted to find death at this time? Hurry up, take the squad as a unit, and destroy all the Celestial people who enter the detection range! Seeing that some of the knights were distracted by the death of the scouts, Kai was angry, and after giving the battle order in the shortest possible time, Kai took the lead in raising the particle gun and launched an attack on an irregular stone a thousand meters ahead.

Although the appearance of the thing did not look any different from that of a normal stone, the readings of the energy monitor showed that the stone was a celestial man. Such an identification system was unheard of in the past, so soldiers often suffered in space warfare against the ever-changing Celestials. But now, because of the emergence of energy detectors, this passive situation has changed.

"Boom!" A flash of sparks sent the stone exploding, and the sparks showed that the Skyman had been completely destroyed, and nothing else had survived. For the first time on the battlefield, the Turtle's enhanced particle gun showed its terrifying power.

Immediately after Kai, the knights of the third formation opened fire on their targets, and for a moment, the golden lines emitted by the particle beam weapons intertwined in the basin of about five kilometers. Similar to the situation in the third formation, the attacking forces engaged the Celestial at about the same time. Viewed from space, the beams of particles seem to coat the surface of asteroid 08-10031 with a golden veil.

"Report, the ground forces have sent information that the Celestial people on the target asteroid have been cleaned up, and a Celestial Planetarian base has been discovered, which is currently under our control!" Two hours later, the communications officer passed the information gathered to the Knights' Commander, Crystal.

"According to the battle plan! Order the engineering ship to land, hurry up the mining of minerals, empty the base of the Celestial Star, and focus on finding the whereabouts of the Celestial Crystal! , the escort fleet continues to be on alert around! (To be continued.) )
