ACT365: Praying Mantis and Yellow Sparrows
All along, Zhao Jian felt that he had an absolute reconnaissance advantage in the Shattered Star Zone! The hundred-eye radar of the ancients gave him a cheating perspective that was no less than "open the whole picture", which allowed him to always detect potential crises in advance, making it difficult for others to get to him.
Therefore, Zhao Jian never thought that he would also be "Demacia" one day!
"Thor, can you identify the ambusher?"
"It's a giant god soldier, a total of three! The red one has a very high energy index, with an S-level level, and it is preliminarily judged to be the Yan Emperor of the Tang Kingdom, and the strength of the other two is also B-level. β
"Santai!? It's really face-giving! β
Hearing that the ambusher turned out to be Emperor Yan, Zhao Jian immediately understood everything.
As the so-called "praying mantis catches cicadas, yellow finches are behind", Zhao Jian wondered why the Northern Fleet was so cautious in its actions, all the ships were divided into three parts, and they had been circling around the outer circle of the battle area, looking like they were in a melancholy.
Now Zhao Jian has finally figured it out, this step is to "crappe" his horse legs, the three detachments seem to be stagnant, the real intention is to encircle, so that Zhao Jian can throw himself into the net in the direction they want, which makes Zhao Jian have a feeling that he is completely seen through!
And the fact is indeed as Zhao Jian thought, the nickname of Jilin's "Great Demon King" is by no means in vain!
As early as half a year ago, when Jilin was just ordered to form a task force, she had specially studied Zhao Jian and took the initiative to understand his way of thinking. It's just that at that time, the purpose of Jilin's research was to better cooperate with the other party's actions, and later it became to arrest the other party.
In Jilin's view, Zhao Jian's way of action is not traceless, and the current complex situation in this region also gives Jilin more conditions as a reference. So after some empathy and war games, Jilin roughly predicted the possible actions of Zhao Jian.
And at this time, Emperor Yan secretly came over with the two B-class giant god soldiers "Candle Dragon" and "Singing Snake" with the supply ship. So Jilin dug a "big pit" and waited for Zhao Jian to jump by himself!
Emperor Yan is a top-level combat giant god soldier, and she is a specialized long-range attack type, so her reconnaissance ability is far above that of the melee type Chiyou, which is comparable to the hundred-eye system on Zhao Jian's side. The Northern Task Force with her to help. At least it will not allow Zhao Jian to enjoy a unilateral intelligence advantage again.
Before the start of the operation, Jilin first let the engineering ship spend a week, and made dozens of bunkers in advance that could accommodate the giant god soldiers on the retreat route that the Zhao ship might use. These so-called "lines" are suitable for high-speed maneuvers due to the low density of floating debris, making them ideal passages for running roads.
Then Jilin asked Emperor Yan and the other two manned giant god soldiers to be on standby with the patrol fleet, and once the reconnaissance submarine in front found that the Zhao ship hiding in the sea of vines was about to break through, they would immediately notify them. Jilin didn't plan to have any entanglement with the blocking fleet arranged by Zhao Ship, and she had only one goal...... That is the "headquarters" of Zhao Jian.
After Emperor Yan successfully blocked the target's way. Jilin immediately led the fleet to quickly arrive at the scene along the channel that had been explored long ago. But what she didn't expect was that the headquarters of the Zhao ship was not a dozen or twenty transport ships as they expected at the beginning, but a thing that was so big that it made people feel exaggerated!
"No wonder this kid wants to run, he actually hides this kind of thing......"
Looking at the Star Castle, which was big enough to drag an asteroid, all the officers of the Northern Fleet showed expressions of disbelief, and in the face of the encircled giant soldiers and fleet, the Star Castle side looked even more nervous. At this time, their defense force was only 1 amphibious assault ship, 2 heavy cruisers and several destroyers, and if the remaining spare aircraft of the air force were released, they could add less than 300 fighters.
But these forces are in front of the three giant god soldiers. It doesn't work at all!
Fortunately, Emperor Yan, who was "eager for revenge", still had some sense, and immediately realized the value of this thing after seeing Star Castle, so he didn't say anything about it. The three giant god soldiers and the fleet that arrived later surrounded the Star Castle, and then started the work of persuading them to surrender as soon as possible.
This is also what Jilin has planned for a long time. Mengzong clearly wrote on the order to her that she wanted her to lead her troops to "beat" Zhao Jian, a traitor, and did not use words such as "extermination" or "annihilation". In other words, Mengzong did not kill Zhao Jian and his troops, and originally hoped to give them a chance to "repent and reform".
"Sue sΓΉ opposite. Our army gave preferential treatment to the prisoners and ordered them to abandon their weapons and surrender within 5 minutes! β
Relying on its own absolute superiority, Jilin does not intend to attack. Deliberately using a strong tone, trying to force the defenders on the Star Fort to give up resistance. In this way, the two sides do not have to fight each other, and the losses can be minimized.
However, although Ji Lin's thinking was good, she really underestimated the fighting will of the defenders of the Star Castle, putting aside the rabble living in the mining area, the defenders on the Star Castle were all elite!
The gang was not intimidated by the three giant god soldiers, and after Thor urgently notified Zhao Jian, the garrison was ready for battle. The other side has 1 S-class and 2 B-class, and they also have 1 S-class and 1 A-class on their side, so it's not too much of a loss to really fight.
Therefore, Hongling and Di Rui, who stayed behind, both thought that as long as they could hold out for another 20 minutes, as soon as Zhao's main fleet and Chi You returned, they would be able to completely get out of the predicament in front of them.
So Di Rui took the place of Zhao Jian, who was not at home, to argue, but before the two sides could talk a few words, Jilin saw through his intention to delay time and warned him not to try to play those futile tricks.
"Give you one last minute to think! Take the initiative to surrender, and there is the possibility of falling lightly, and if you resist stubbornly, there is only a dead end! β
"Okay, okay! You're awesome...... You have the ability to beat Lao Tzu! β
Hung up the radio with a "bang", and Diri shrugged his shoulders at the embarrassed group of companions behind him. The other party is not a general person, and it is normal for the method of procrastination not to work. And Jilin on the other side also felt that these diehards should be given a little color first, anyway, this flying fortress looks super big, and a few shells should not be a problem.
But what Ji Lin didn't expect was that as soon as she gave the order to carry out a "moderate attack", Emperor Yan over there raised his divine bow "Sunset", and then without saying a word, pulled the bowstring, and an energy arrow that flashed so much that people couldn't look at it quickly converged and formed, and the energy fluctuations emitted from it were so strong that Jilin couldn't look at it calmly.
The Great Demon King didn't expect that this deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army, whom she had heard of a little, would be in such a hurry, and he didn't give her a chance to stop, so he shot out this golden arrow with powerful destructive power. But at the moment when the arrow left the string, a black shadow suddenly dodged in front of the Star Castle and blocked the arrow with his bare hands.
Emperor Yan was immediately shocked when he saw the other party's figure clearly, and this black shadow also took the initiative to greet her in a voice full of anger.
"Yo! It's been more than ten years! You red-haired little smash! (To be continued......)
