Chapter 513: The Great Strategic Shift
There was a commotion among the big guys, and some people looked unbearable, but no one dared to protest.
"Open the gate, call the transport ship down, and take everything inside!" Brigadier General ordered.
"Let's go back and send someone to collect this gentleman's body." In the team, Ye Qingyuan secretly said to Adjutant Red.
After the end of that fortress attack and defense battle, the Kilizakos who suffered such heavy losses for the first time seemed to have a different calculation, and the offensives in each star field were temporarily stopped, although the small battles continued, but the scale of the attack with more than 10,000 warships generally no longer appeared.
The pre-war lull may not last long, and across the defensive line, the Kilizakos are deploying troops. According to the analysis of the wise men accompanying the army, in the past few days, several more fleets have arrived, with a total number of about 80,000 ships!
In terms of combat power, at least in this defense zone, the Kilizakos have an absolute advantage. But the new offensive has not been launched for a long time, and it is not clear what awaits them.
The officers and men of the Imperial fleet are waiting for each other, and all soldiers are not allowed to leave the base and the battleship without special permission! The fleet remains ready for sortie! Personnel of the Ministry of Security have accelerated the transfer of supplies. Efforts should be made to complete the new "three lights" plan of "moving, demolishing, and transporting" before the war began.
By the fifth day, the Kilizakos had finally made a move. Not a large-scale offensive, but a harassment of small fleets.
It's almost like discovering the anomalies on the human side, and it's almost like I can't watch the humans transfer all the resources. In short, the Kilizakos successively sent several groups of harassment fleets.
The size of these fleets is generally around 1,000 to 5,000, relying on the excellent energy efficiency of warships. Cruising in five places outside the lines of the Imperial fleet. Just look for an opportunity. It will pounce like a pack of wolves, take a bite suddenly, and then slip away at a higher speed!
At first, the Imperial fleet didn't bother with them, but simply drove them away. Later, this group of guys became more and more emboldened, and even began to attack the mining bases on the resource planet, robbing all kinds of rare minerals, and plundering the population by the way.
Although these resources are also a windfall for the Empire, there is no reason to give them to the other party just like this! Moreover, the empire has not yet prepared for a big war. We can't let the Federation collapse completely! And the transfer of resources is not something that can be done in a short time, and the empire cannot be left to them, no matter what reason it thinks.
"Commander, a harassing fleet of Kilizakos has appeared near the twenty-ninth resource star of the Rotax Domain, numbering almost two thousand! Not long ago, they dropped hundreds of advance ships on the Eastern Continent! Our fleet has been dispatched, and now our troops are ordered to immediately intercept their advance force! ”
The liaison forwarded the order sent from above to Ye Qingyuan.
"Good! Order the brethren to go now! ”
A piercing alarm sounded, and the 800 awakened people in the regiment were fully armed, quickly assembled, and rushed out of the base gate like a whirlwind in more than thirty heavy hovering combat vehicles. Rush to the nearby advance ship at a speed of one level! There were two other regiments and more than 5,000 mechas.
Dozens of advance ships more than 300 meters long are ready to take off. The heavy alloy movable door under the belly of the ship was completely open, and the convoy rushed in. The place was secured with the help of a magnetic clasp lock on the inner wall of the ship, and then the gate closed and locked.
When everything is ready, the advance ship quickly lifts off, enters the space carrier body that has been waiting in low-earth orbit, and then rendezvous with the battleship formation and rushes to the target planet.
The Kilizakos attacked in the tens of thousands, and they landed near a relatively remote mining base in the eastern part of the continent, and then dispatched a large number of warriors to attack the defense line laid by the empire near the base.
Ye Qingyuan changed into a new five-star ability equipment in the car. The outfit is a silver-gray metal box the size of a book. Pressing the switch above, a white photon appeared, enveloping him, and the box swelled as if inflated, enveloping him in a cloud of substance.
A few seconds later, the aura dissipated, and there was already a set of light armor with extremely cool shape, compact structure, and harmonious lines, and there were countless mysterious and beautiful patterns on the surface of the light armor, and the slightest electric light was circulating endlessly, which looked extremely stylish!
The light armor is not thick, only equivalent to the thickness of three layers of ordinary coats, but its defensive power is far better than that of three-star equipment. In the back waist of the light armor, there is its own dimensional space, about two cubic meters in size, the energy core of the light armor and the automatic repair subsystem, and other large parts are hidden in it.
In addition to the fully enclosed light armor, this set of five-star equipment also has a matching energy knife, a magic quadrant matrix, a space armed belt, a portable particle cannon, a pocket remote contact system, a miniature detection instrument, emergency medical equipment and so on. The cost of the entire set of equipment reaches millions of crystal nuclei!
One million crystal nuclei, equivalent to the cost of ten space battleships! Therefore, in the Legion of the Awoken, only school officers are eligible to equip. This whole set of equipment was specially rewarded to him from above, otherwise he would have to at least upgrade one more grade to be eligible for it.
Of course, for him at the moment, a million crystal nuclei is nothing. As long as he wants to, it's idle to get a set of five-star ability equipment. It's just that his equipment is not bad, the five-star energy knife, the 8-star Magic Quadrant matrix, even the awakened ones of the general's grade, may not be stronger than him in terms of equipment.
That time in the fortress I met the strong Kilizak of the Dry Star Grade, the always indestructible Magic Quadrant Matrix was also challenged. Let him know that equipment can't protect him, and it is the king to estimate that surviving on the battlefield and quickly improving his combat effectiveness is the king!
This time, the empire also issued a light crossbow to all officers above the school grade, called "thorn". It is the top quality of five-star equipment. This light crossbow is a powerful weapon for the Awakened's long-range attacks, it can send out three light arrows at a time, it can easily penetrate the 350 cm thick titanium alloy armor, and the light arrows will explode after penetrating the target, and the destructive power is extremely amazing!
The disadvantage of this kind of weapon is that the loss of source energy is large, and the cost is also more expensive, 89,000 crystal nuclei, and it takes a lot of effort to make. It's not as good as because of this war. The losses of the Awoken Legion were surprising. The empire was reluctant to distribute it on a large scale.
"There's still a crystal nucleus vein in this place?"
Look at the newly received top-secret message on the photonic computer. Ye Qingyuan rubbed his eyes, convinced that he was not mistaken.
"That's right, this place is the crystal nucleus ore refining base!" Deputy Commander Lieutenant Colonel Hu Mu said, "The information disclosed by the federal government to the outside world only says that this is an ordinary tungsten sand mine!" But I didn't estimate that it turned out to be such a cornucopia! ”
"It's just that I don't know, why did the Kilizakos find out about this?" Ye Qingyuan said, "Those guys' noses are too smart, right?" Or is it just a coincidence? ”
"They're pretty much a little bit of a special technology, and they're not more sensitive to this ore?" Hu Mu said half-jokingly and half-seriously. "I remember what the old antiques of the Federal Academy of Sciences said that they are a group of lifeforms that originated in the depths of the planetary strata, and they are naturally good at absorbing and devouring all kinds of precious ores to strengthen themselves! Maybe this thing is their favorite treasure! ”
"Sounds like that!" Ye Qingyuan gently bowed his head, and his 8th sense told him that Hu Mu's words made sense, and this was almost the truth of the matter.
"Let's not talk about this yet! Either way, we can't let them get their way! Ye Qingyuan said solemnly, "After the landing, the mecha troops will attack their advance ships first, and don't let any of them go!" The fleet will cooperate with us! ”
"I understand the meaning of the above. Make sure to leave these guys on the surface of the planet, and don't let any of them go! They have to be taught a lesson to remember! Otherwise, they will be emboldened! Got it? ”
"Yes! Commander! A group of subordinates responded awe-inspiringly.
This mining base, numbered CZF670033. is highly classified by the Federation. Just because it has two huge crystal-nucleated veins underneath!
The size of the ground base seems small, and it is estimated that the annual production will not exceed nine thousand tons of raw ore, which is indeed a very small mine in the interstellar age!
But just a few hundred meters underground, it was dug into a medium-sized city! A wide variety of mining equipment, large fleets, smelting bases, energy centers, storage bases are all available! There's even a regiment-sized unit of the Awoken stationed here. The entire planet has become a military control zone, and all idle ships are forbidden to approach!
Such a high-grade defense deployment is not a waste, and every year, this base supplies a large number of crystal nuclei to the federal government. It's a veritable vault of the Commonwealth!
With the dog-like sense of smell of the Imperial Ministry of Security, this base was discovered a day ago. After a short exchange of fire, all the garrison troops who knew that the situation was over surrendered. The 500 million standard part of the crystal nucleus stored in the base has also fallen into the hands of the Empire!
Just as the Imperial side was about to ship out this batch of wealth of astonishing value, a fleet of Kilizakos inexplicably appeared near the planet! And they seemed to have discovered something stored in the base, and pounced on it like a bloody shark!
The commander who led the team gave the order to resist desperately, and at the same time urgently returned to the top grade.
Such a surprising harvest is categorically not easily revealed, and the strategic command immediately ordered to rush to the aid with all its might!
Near the base, there is already a sea of fire at this time!
The Empire's two regular armored divisions, plus more than 3,000 mecha commandos, formed a fairly strong line of defense, guarding the entrance to the base. Thousands of Kilizakos rushed madly towards the defensive line, mutilated limbs, entrails everywhere on the ground! And the wreckage of the advance ship.
In low-earth orbit, a large number of warships are facing each other! The number of the Imperial fleet is almost 10,000, and the combat strength of the two sides is roughly equal, so they are not thinking about fighting hard for the time being, and are waiting for backup to arrive.
When Ye Qingyuan's fleet arrived, it was such a hellish sight!
"Holy, you're almost here!"
Seeing that the figure of the advance ship group finally appeared in the distant sky, the commander of the base garrison, Captain Liu Yong, let out a long breath, and his heart finally relaxed.
Before the advance ship landed, the movable door of the ship's belly had already opened, and a large number of heavy hovering combat vehicles and mechs rushed out, looking like a swarm of frenzied hornets from a distance.
The mechs were divided into two parts, one of which was all-out to attack the saucer-shaped advance ship group parked in the distance, and the other part, together with the hovering chariot formation, killed the Kilizakos on the ground.
"All the team get out of the car and get ready to fight!"
Ye Qingyuan stepped out of the chariot, and the equipment on his body emitted a circle of anti-gravity magnetic field, allowing his body to levitate steadily in the air. Behind him were three regiments of nearly 2,000 heavily armed Psychic warriors.
Several commanders and the commanders of the mecha corps got together for a brief discussion, and decided on the operational policy, and according to the usual practice, the commander of the 501st regiment, Colonel Yaguli, who was present with the highest rank and position, was temporarily the commander-in-chief.
As soon as Ye Qingyuan raised his hand, the light crossbow was already out of his current hand, injecting source energy, and the crossbow body lit up and trembled slightly. There was a faint cold light from the three diamond-shaped emitting holes, and a trace of cold air spread out.
Of the three regiments, only a little more than one-tenth of them are qualified to be equipped with light crossbows, more than 300 people. The rest of the warriors who didn't have light crossbows also took out portable light cannons.
"The light crossbow is aimed at the powerful character in the middle of them, and it's best to use two or three people against one! Make sure to kill thoroughly! Ye Qingyuan said, "The rest of the people, as well as the mecha troops, are the same!" Concentrate on the fire attack, it is better to cut off one of its fingers than to hurt its ten fingers! Try to kill as many as they can before they react! ”
The big guys have no objection to this, and it's just settled.
A few seconds later, Ye Qingyuan's forearm shook slightly, and with a "buzz", three blue faint, ten-centimeter-long light arrows emerged from the emitting hole, flying towards the predetermined target, and in an instant, he hit that guy!
The target is a Ink Crystal Warrior with seven-star combat power, wearing a rough black battle armor and carrying a spherical hammer in his hand, and is shouting there to drive his subordinates to step up the attack!
A bolt of light struck its armor like a red-hot knife stabbing into the butter, piercing it with ease. Two other bolts of light pierced its head, and exploded! The hard skull exploded in an instant, the brains flew sideways, and he died completely!
The other Awakened also did the same, and in an instant, the universe was filled with bursts of magnificent blue light! The chilling "buzzing" sound is endless!
More than 300 light crossbows, a wave of attacks is more than 800 light arrows, and after five consecutive rounds of attacks, there are already nearly 300 relatively strong Kili Zako warriors lying on the ground.
The portable light cannon then fired, and the mechs began to fire missiles, and the overwhelming fire net enveloped most of the enemy!
After all, the light crossbow has a large loss of source energy, and with their ability, five rounds of attacks are already the limit, and if they have to hold it hard, it will affect the following melee combat.
Of course, Ye Qingyuan, a guy who is incredibly energetic in his body, is an exception. With his current level, even if he sends out more than 100 rounds of attacks in one go, it is idle.
Countless high-powered missiles smashed on the ground, setting off mushroom-shaped clouds, powerful shock waves swept a large number of stones in five places, and thousands of light cannons kept pouring down the light of death, and the high temperature of tens of thousands of degrees directly melted the extremely high metal content and extremely hard ground! Immediately after that, it began to evaporate under the use of high temperature and high pressure, and the temperature further rose to a terrifying height!
A large number of guys who are not strong enough have no bones left under such a dense covering blow! (To be continued.) )
