Chapter 597: Learning from the Bugs
In March of the year 2151 of the Second Age of Frost Blue, the year before the arrival of the Magnum Tribulation in the Royal Secret Records of the Triric Empire. The largest mech battle in the outer galaxy has begun.
This is a battle that will definitely go down in history, because for the first time, it shook the foundations of the Alternate Union in the outer galaxy. At the same time, in this battle, the force known as the "Free Army" was officially unveiled, and began to become an independent third-party force in the outer galaxy, and this force was also known as the "Red Cross" or "Hemostatic Army" in the later human crisis. Keep the names of these warriors in mind, because not many of them survived.
In addition, there is one more person who should be remembered as the commander of the combined fleet, Grand Duke Osbrunn. Although he is a tragic figure, he is still a respectable person.
The Grand Duke of Osburun is 150 years old, and in this galaxy, this is the prime of life. So, he is also at the peak of his body and career. And the Bren family, where he is located, is a first-class family in a multinational country. This is the honor guard of his success, and at the same time, it is also the root of his failure.
"Lord Duke, there is no change in the Triric Empire. So, I think it's better to wait for fighters than to create them. ”
At the side of the Grand Duke of Osbrun was the clerk of the Substitute Union, Bares. Bales had no command over the Combined Fleet, and his only right was to restrain the Grand Duke of Osbrunn, which was the usual practice of the Coalition.
"Nope." Grand Duke Osburun shook his head, and then felt that his tone was too blunt, and couldn't help but lower his voice and explain: "Although the mecha cluster has no advantage over the fleet, I don't think they will be so stupid. will not choose to confront head-on even if you know that you are invincible. ”
"Don't worry." Bars shook his head: "It's nothing more than the so-called backpack system, if you just talk about mecha and substitute repair, this is our strength of the alliance." You know, the whole galaxy is watching us. So, what we need in this campaign is annihilation, not passive defense like this. ”
"No, it's not." Grand Duke Osbrun shook his head: "From their arrangement. The shadow of an old friend I saw, if it was him, then I would never take the initiative to attack. We have overwhelming power, so a fist is an unassailable tactic. ”
"Grand Duke of Osburun, I want you to think about it again."
The refusal of the Grand Duke of Osbrun provoked the wrath of Barrass, who did not care about the process. I don't care about casualties, what I want is the result, so we should pursue the result. In Barrs's opinion, the Grand Duke of Osbrunn had the wrong starting point. He should aim for the goal of the substitution, not the usual victory.
"Think about your family." "We can give and we can take it back," Barrs said. So. What you need is how to do it, not what to do it. ”
In the face of the direct threat of Barrs, the Grand Duke of Osburun could only remain silent, like many powerful forces in the galaxy, they were too deeply involved with the Substitute Alliance, and they could put aside the relationship without disgust. At this time, personal favor is nothing.
"Okay. I think about it. I'll get back to you in half an hour. Hopefully it won't disturb your lunch time. Said the Grand Duke of Osbrunn.
Pleased with the Grand Duke of Osbrunn's weakness, Bars smiled and nodded, and walked towards his private dining room.
These were the most famous tactics of the Grand Duke of Osbrunn in this battle, and he managed to delay for half an hour, and while Barrs was eating, he managed to extend it for another hour. In the course of an hour, the Combined Fleet contracted and contracted, almost to the point of being crammed together. This did bring great trouble to the "Free Army" in the early stages of the campaign.
Fortunately, the Grand Duke of Osbrun guessed correctly. He was indeed confronted by his old friend, General Bandi from Fast. They have always had a relationship of friend and foe.
An hour later, in the midst of an unsightly chaos, the Combined Fleet finally formed and then rushed to attack on both wings. This is a formation of encirclement and total annihilation, and the Grand Duke of Osbrun will finally have to compromise.
The fleet has always had an advantage over mechas. The greater the quantity, the greater the advantage. Therefore, in the early days of the station, good results were achieved. In the face of dense artillery fire, the two flanks of the Free Army were almost scattered, and that scene was like a drop of ink being shot apart, splashed everywhere.
"Yes, that's it." Barrs was very pleased with the performance of the Grand Duke of Osbrun, and he also admitted that the Grand Duke of Osbrun was a good commander, and his only drawback was that he was not very knowledgeable.
"It's not good." The Grand Duke of Osbrun was not happy, and he was even more and more worried, because although the two flanks of the Free Army were crushed, the casualties of the opposing side were not many. It's not scary to scatter and escape mechs, but it takes a lot of time to eliminate them one by one.
"Don't be modest, you're doing a great job." Bars misunderstood the meaning of the words of the Grand Duke of Osbrunn, believing it to be a form of self-humility. The situation in front of him made his original vigilance disappear. Because in an interstellar battle, a large-scale rout is almost irretrievable, and in the absence of external interference, this is the end.
"I still think we should be more cautious. Because this battle is too easy to win. ”
"For what?" Bales shook his head: "Since you can't even tell why, then you shouldn't give up on the good situation. I think it's time to strike in the middle, and the timing is just right. Give them a fatal punch! It's that simple. ”
Barrth's request was impossible for the Grand Duke of Osbrun to refuse, as he could not use his intuition as a basis for convincing others. In desperation, the central cluster of the Combined Fleet began to slowly move forward, and the moment when the real victory or defeat was gradually decided......
"I finally got through it."
Chu Ming sighed, but his heart was relieved. He did not fight on the front line today, but stayed on the "Truth" with General Bandi. When he was helpless in the face of casualties, Chu Ming also felt tormented. Luckily, he has one of the best commanders in the galaxy by his side.
"Grand Duke of Osbrunn, if he doesn't die, remember this old fellow. It's a tough opponent. General Bandi nodded. He knew the Grand Duke of Osburun better than Chu Ming, and if there was no one to restrain him, he would even retreat simply today. Fortunately, the Grand Duke of Osburon is not alone, and there is a family behind him, which is a weakness that can restrain him.
"I know that I have never seen a man who can arrange a battleship so closely, and this is literally a library shelf. What a headache guy. Chu Ming looked at the middle lane cluster of the combined fleet that was slowly approaching, and said with palpitations. If these fleets do not move. That is a hedgehog overgrown with cannons, which can only be cracked by hard-hitting tactics.
"Yes, he didn't lose tactically. Rather, it is lost in technique. It's an unfair war, but it's never about fairness. General Bandi sighed and began to issue orders. After the order, the central mecha cluster of the Free Army also slowly moved forward......
The outer galaxies of the Frost Blue Galaxy have never experienced a bug wave, so no one knows how terrifying the Rich Butterfly Worm is. These bugs have a terrifying number. Moreover, they always have a terrifying number.
Suppression of the whole and local numbers of butterfly worms - this idea has been studied and acknowledged in inner edge galaxies. This is a simple but effective tactic that has evolved over several years. This is also the reason why the abundant butterfly insect is terrifying. To do this, the first thing needed is quantity. Secondly, what is needed is a rapid and effective assembly. On the second point, bugs do a better job than humans. Their build-up is even at any cost.
Can humans learn like bugs? The answer is no. The mecha closest to the attribute of the bug has an unavoidable weakness - the human mind is too complex, lacks a single and simple guiding direction, and even if it is barely gathered together, it cannot form an accumulated combat power like a bug. Unless, there is some god-like commander in the unified direction. Or, there is something that forcibly brings them together.
"This is a real mothership-like platform." The frog said proudly: "The engine backpack in a thousand-to-one configuration, this is the core of the mothership-like platform. In fact, the more reasonable configuration is 742:1, but it is enough to deal with these guys in front of you. ”
After the sound of the frog, the scene on the battlefield changed rapidly. I saw that the scattered and escaped mechs were rapidly assembling, looking for a comrade with a special emblem, and then approaching and combining. This combination is random. Some have more than a thousand mechs, while others have only a dozen.
But these combinations all have one thing in common. They all have ship-like characteristics, and can even support shields with different resistances.
Not bad. This is the improved backpack system, the combination of "miner" and "minecart", which is also the latest achievement that Chu Ming has come up with.
The Grand Duke of Osburun finally knew what he was worried about. As General Bandi said, he lost in skill. The combination of large and small mecha in front of him gave him a very bad premonition.
"Volley! Shoot them down! Barrs also sensed the crisis, and his suggestion was quickly adopted.
However, the effect of the salvo was far from as good as expected. These mechs have shields that can't be effectively killed by ordinary cannon fire. In the event of a high-intensity attack, these combinations will scatter like flies and then reassemble in another place. Yes, as nasty and intractable as flies.
"We should retreat." The Grand Duke of Osbrun said decisively, and then unsurprisingly encountered a decisive rebuttal.
"Nope! Never! Barce shook his head, although he didn't say any more threatening words, but his eyes represented his meaning: "Get closer, we also have a mecha and a substitute repair, because we are a substitute!" ”……
What is the scene of nearly 100,000 mechs crammed together? According to those who later recalled, the scene was like the feeling of an ant facing the blade of a weeder. There are battles everywhere, and there are flying mechs everywhere. In this battlefield, the battleships are useless, only dare to open their shields to the full, and pray that those strange mech combinations will not target them.
This is the vision of the creep, and from the perspective of the Grand Duke of Osbrunn, what he sees is the change in the shape of the war, and the impact on the Lian itself. There are many ways to control the substitution of cultivation, such as controlling resources, such as controlling cultivation. However, the root of making the substitute cultivator die for him is the strength of the substitute alliance itself, if any substitute cultivator can organize against them, then the authority of the substitute union will be questioned.
Bales also knew this, and he mustered all the strength he could, but this kind of refueling only increased the opponent's performance. Nor did the Grand Duke of Osbrun try to stop him from acting against military common sense, for his military and political career ended there. It was impossible for him to fall to the Free Army, and his family could not afford such a betrayal, so, in the last moment, the Grand Duke of Osbrunn and Barrs came to a rare agreement, and they rejected the kindness of General Bandi and chose to fight to the death.
When the Grand Duke of Osbrunn's twin flagship exploded in the stars, the war was over. In this debris-strewn star field, the sporadic resistance has stopped. The Free Army had no intention of killing them all, they silently gathered the corpses of their comrades, and then slowly disappeared into the dust zone outside the Maro Mountain spectrum. No one knows what else they will do, or who will be their next target. But everyone knows that the Substitute Union will not rest on its laurels, and their brief silence may mean a more violent counterattack.
