Chapter 165: Surprise Attack

Although Prometheus is a lone star, the closest star is a few light-years away, and there is no day and night cycle, but it is not unrelated, and the faint light from the surrounding gas nebula illuminates Prometheus, making the sky always look like dusk.

Achilled Canyon, south of the North Star base, is the deepest canyon in the vicinity.

It's also an ever-changing canyon.

In fact, Prometheus is a planet that is constantly changing. Because of the short time of formation, the crust of Prometheus has not yet been fully formed, and geological activity is very frequent. Over the past thousand years, the depth of the Achilled Canyon has increased by hundreds of meters and the area has nearly doubled. Over time, the canyon will split the entire earth's crust and eventually be swallowed up by the magma gushing from the center of the earth.

Of course, the current Achilled Canyon is not calm either.

Compared to the dim glow of the nebula, the red glow that came out of the canyon was bright. It was a fire, a crimson glow from hot magma to be exact.

In this canyon, which is more than 500 kilometers long and more than 10 kilometers wide, it is densely packed with temporary camps built by the Silicon Phantom Legion. Every bit of light is a camp, and in each camp there are thousands, if not tens of thousands, of Silicon Phantom warriors of a legion.

Here, how many Silicon Warriors are there!?

However, all the Silicon Warriors stayed in the camp, and even the patrols in charge of the guard only traveled between the camps through specially built passages.

Obviously, the environment of Prometheus is even harsher for silicon-based life.

To put it bluntly, it's too cold here.

Most of the time, the surface temperature of Prometheus is around minus 200 degrees Celsius, and the temperature is also below minus 150 degrees Celsius. Even if there is a nebula storm, where ionized gases gather together. And the energy contained in it is released, and the temperature close to the ground is also about minus 50 degrees Celsius. For silicon-based life with a body temperature of more than 1,000 degrees Celsius and a living environment of about 2,000 degrees Celsius, Prometheus is simply a cold hell. Even the toughest Silicon Phantom Warrior will instantly freeze and lose their ability to move if exposed to the surface. And died in just a few minutes due to the loss of heat in the body.

To survive, the Silicon Warrior had to stay in the camp.

Those fires are the light emitted by the heat source.

Each camp has a heat source powered by an Elemental Converter that melts the rocks to keep the temperature above 1,000 degrees Celsius. In order to avoid heat loss, energy barriers were erected in all camps, and passages wrapped in energy barriers were constructed between the camps.

After careful observation for a while, Yang Yi counted that there were almost a thousand camps in the canyon.

Although not all legions have 10,000 Silicon Phantom Warriors. For example, the legion of the ironclad frenzy only has a thousand warriors, and only the legion formed by a weaker class like the humanoid rock demon is equipped with 10,000 warriors according to the standard, but in this huge canyon, there are millions of silicon warriors to say the least.

What is this concept?

There are only 30,000 human officers and soldiers guarding the Polaris base.

Obviously, the enemy can take down the Polaris base at any time if he wants to. Don't talk about using all your troops, just put in a tenth of your troops. to sweep through the entire Polaris base.

So, what is the enemy waiting for?

"A small squad is in place."

"The second squad is in place."

"Three squads in place."

……

The headset heard the reports of the various squad leaders. The raid has been deployed in place, just waiting for Yang Yi to give the order.

Although Yang Yi was only a major officer and had no official position, the idea of the raid was proposed by him, and with the support of Lin Feng and Jackson, Shen Chengwen pushed the boat down. Let Yang Yi be in charge of directing the raid, and he will lead the officers and men of the strategic squadron to launch the attack.

Lin Feng nodded slightly at Yang Yi and didn't say anything.

"Act as planned, launch the first round of attacks in five minutes." Yang Yi did not hesitate and gave the order to start the operation.

After speaking. Yang Yi turned around and nodded to Jackson and the others who were hiding behind, asking them to get ready. Lin Feng contacted Carl, who was ambushed nearby, at this time, and asked him to prepare for action according to the battle plan. Although Yang Yi did not plan to bring the defenders of the Polaris base, Carl insisted on participating in the operation and selected a group of elite officers and soldiers. Besides, guarding Prometheus was originally their duty, and they were more familiar with the environment near the base. After Lin Feng agreed, Yang Yi was not easy to object. In any case, Prometheus Star belongs to the first war zone, but Yang Yi and the others are from the third war zone, so they can't dominate the crowd.

Five minutes, not too long, not too short.

When the first explosion occurred, Yang Yi realized that five minutes had passed and the attack had begun.

Immediately after, explosions occurred one after another.

It was the officers and soldiers of the strategic squadron led by Shen Chengwen who attacked.

The targets of the attacks were heat sources in various camps, and Shen Cheng heard that they were using a wired guided missile, a missile controlled by the original energy to be precise. This missile has a wire, through which the officers and men of the special reconnaissance brigade use their own energy to control the direction of the missile's flight. After breaking through the energy barrier of the camp, the missile was uncontrolled and accelerated to top speed in a very short time for the final sprint. At this time, even if the enemy discovers the missile, it will not be able to intercept it, let alone prevent it from concentrating on the target. Although the power of this missile is not very great due to the limitation of the carrying capacity of officers and soldiers, it is enough to blow up the heat source after hitting.

The blows were so precise that after each explosion, a heat source was destroyed, meaning a camp was destroyed.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of camps were destroyed by heat sources.

Now, the canyon is fried.

Although the temperature in the camp does not drop immediately due to the protection of the energy barrier, there is no heat source, and the heat in the air will be absorbed by the surface, causing the temperature to drop dramatically. It only takes a few minutes at most for the temperature in the camp to drop from more than 1,000 degrees Celsius to less than 500 degrees Celsius. Although the temperature of 500 degrees Celsius is still as hot as hell for carbon-based life like humans, for silicon-based life, as long as the temperature drops to 500 degrees Celsius, it will be incapacitated, just like human beings are exposed to cold wind, and they will lose their mobility in just a few minutes, and it will only take ten minutes at most to faint, and even die of shock due to cold.

Inside the attacked camp, hundreds of Silicon Phantom warriors poured out of the barracks, fleeing like headless flies.

Most of the Silicon Warriors flocked to the passages to the other camps, but the passages were too narrow for a single legion of Silicon Warriors to pass through at the same time.

In order to survive, no one will back down.

At the same time, nearby camps that had not been attacked were also in turmoil, and some camps even closed their passages to prevent the nearby camps' Silicon Phantom warriors from entering.

Quite simply, there is limited energy.

While the energy barrier prevents heat from escaping through the air, it can't stop heat from escaping through the ground, and every living Silicon Phantom Warrior is absorbing it. As a result, the heat sources in each camp only produce enough heat for the Silicon-Warriors in the camp.

Accepting the Silicon Phantom Warriors from other camps is putting yourself in danger.

Besides, the sudden influx of hundreds or thousands of Silicon Warriors will definitely cause chaos and serious consequences.

Don't forget, most Silicon Warriors are simple-minded, well-limbed, and have a very short temper, even in normal times, let alone when life and death are at stake.

A few minutes later, a second round of attacks arrived.

It was still the strategic squadron led by Shen Chengwen who did the action, but the target of the attack was the camp at the other end of the canyon.

The two attacks, like lighting two fires in a haystack, quickly spread the chaos and commotion, and the whole canyon was lively.

It was at this time that the Big Bang happened.

This time, it was the garrison led by Karl who made the move.

The explosion occurred on a cliff on the northeastern side of the canyon and was detonated by thousands of miniature bombs that were projected onto the canyon and burrowed into the rocks.

Although the explosion was far from the camp, the damage caused was horrific.

Thousands of small bombs were detonated at the same time, and the cliffs that were more than 10 kilometers long were completely trampled down, and the shattered rocks fell like raindrops, and more boulders rolled down into the canyon. Even if the Silicon Warrior is extremely strong, he will be buried alive by the crumbling rock.

The explosion was in the middle of the canyon, and the falling rocks cut the canyon in the middle.

Inside the canyon, some of the Silicon Phantom warriors rushed out of the camp and fled, but they didn't have long to run before they were frozen, and then they were smashed to pieces by the boulders that rolled down. More Silicon Phantom warriors hid in the camp, but unfortunately, the energy barrier could not withstand the collapsing boulders, and what awaited them was to be buried alive.

At this time, a group of silicon warriors flew out of the canyon.

All of them are generals, and they are all generals with cars!

Warlords have Origin Converters, which can be used to create energy barriers, and they can also move outside the camp.

Seeing this situation, Yang Yi gave Shen Chengwen and Carl an order to retreat. They've done their job, and there's no need to fight with the fighters. Besides, the combat power of the generals is very strong, and the only one who can compete with the generals is probably Shen Chengwen, and even Carl is not qualified.

Inside the canyon, screams were repeated.

With the faint light, Yang Yi slipped down the hillside where he was hiding, followed by Lin Feng, Jackson and other original people.

The previous attacks were only to create chaos and make the enemy mess up.

There were so many legions gathered in the canyon, and they didn't move, making Yang Yi believe that the enemy must have made a big move, maybe they were opening a tunnel to the center of the earth. Just destroying dozens of camps and killing hundreds of thousands of Silicon Phantom warriors will not make the enemy abandon the operation of attacking the North Star base. It is necessary to give the enemy a heavier blow and inflict greater casualties on the enemy in order to make the enemy retreat. (To be continued......)
