Chapter 376: The mentality of indifference to human life
As a large number of refugees in the city were transformed into mutants and deviants, the order that had been maintained by chaos and encouragement collapsed, and the killing began.
Tasada said that the Star Spirit would not continue to be deeply involved in the rescue.
Kane asked if he could provide Stargate services to allow refugees from here to settle in Marsala Northern Democratic Alliance territory.
After urgent consultation with Aldares, Tasada said yes. But the work of guarding the satellite gate is up to humanity itself.
Kane says Greybeard will take charge himself.
He then sends one of the fleet's drone carriers to help deal with the chaos in the city.
A large number of Reaper rotary-wing drones flew out of the mothership, originally intended to assist the landing force in clearing the ground of insects, but now they were tasked with shooting mutants and aberrations.
These reapers, carrying shooter pods, resemble a small helicopter carrying four super-precision shooters and four electromagnetic rifles to shoot monsters scurrying through the streets.
The Reaper also has an amplification playback function, which constantly reminds people to climb to high places, such as rooftops and rooftops, as most mutants are not capable of climbing.
However, in reality, roofs and rooftops are no longer safe.
Among the insects besieging New Wellington, there are a large number of flying units, and they can easily break through the defense line, after all, according to Kane's arrangement, except for the east, the defense line in other directions has a low air defense ability.
Among these flying insects, the flying mantis is undoubtedly the most feared, they come in swarms, and the sound of flapping their wings can be heard from 1 km away.
And the Flying Mantis has a very strong ability to get out of battle and regenerate, in the words of the tall soldiers: "If you can't dry one of them, then when it flies back to trouble you again, it will be almost brand new."
The most feared thing about the mantis is their attack method, the blade worm, this thing is an intelligent missile that can automatically find the target, and has the unique ability of 'degradable explosion', simply put, it can be blasted through a section of explosions, continuous catapults, attack multiple targets, the specific rules are followed, whoever is close is unlucky.
What people don't know is that in fact, the real threat is the king worm, which has a pressurized closed carapace and a helium sac that GIs prefer to shoot, not because their sound is funny, but because they are a powerful signal relay, the grassroots commander of the insect on the battlefield, once their number is greatly reduced, the insect army will be obviously chaotic, or simply unable to organize the scale.
But at that ordinary moment, at a frenzied moment like now, the existence of king insects was overflowing, and there were so many of them that people felt like they couldn't be killed.
At this time, they are more responsible for transportation, and also act as the eyes of the insects, and their energy sensing ability, allowing them to spot invisible units, including optical invisibility and psionic invisibility.
Kane asked for a ruthless attack on the king worm, and the star spirits did the same, and once they monitored the outer area of New Wellington, they found that the king worm was assembled, and they would always give a fatal blow as soon as possible.
However, the insects soon discovered this problem, so they adopted a skirmish-like advance, which can be called a textbook, and the number of insects distributed in the unit area is very uniform, and it is difficult to catch a ruthless one, but there is a suspicion of hitting mosquitoes with cannons.
Anyway, Aldaris quickly became unhappy, and the little complained that the energy consumption was huge, and the sum exceeded the consumption of the purification beam, but the absolute effect was much worse......
The general meaning is that such a way of playing is not cost-effective, it is better to choose a few key points to play glass.
It's not cost-effective, but if you want to include the value of helping refugees, that's another story. More importantly, Tasada felt that through this incident, Kane owed a favor that was not too small, which was very good.
Tassadaken helped so much, in addition to relying on intuition and thinking that Kane was likely to be an important person, but also because he paid attention to Liberty's latest reports and saw the bravery of Graybeard led by Kane, he also personally led the team down to experience what it was like to fight the insect head-on, so he admired Kane very much.
Kane was very unhappy, he felt that he had not thought enough about this operation, if he had brought a few ground effect aircraft, then at this moment, in the face of a large number of stragglers of the insects, it was not too cool, 30,000 locks per minute, and the strike frequency of 3 metal hydrogen projectiles each time was enough for the insects to appreciate what a condescending death blockade was, and the ATA laser array could make the mosquito blasters cry out.
Where it is like now, it is completely a meat grinder-style pair.
In fact, the performance of the Reaper unmanned gyroplane is much better than that of the Insect, they can be equipped with a special anti-aircraft missile bay and an aerial gun bay, and the four-shot gun in the electromagnetic sniper capsule can also be used against the air.
Unfortunately, the Alien Worm occupies the vast majority of the population, and when the Alien Worm carries out this tactical siege, it is difficult for the Reaper who is at a numerical disadvantage to give full play to its own advantages.
For example, the Mantis plays the eye-catching wanderer, the king worm plays the moving shield, and the mosquito blaster plays the assassin, and suddenly kills from behind the king bug to complete the ultimate explosion.
Such a simple tactic has been tried and tested repeatedly, and if the Reaper ignores the mantis, then the mantis will turn from virtual to real, dealing a lot of damage. The gyrocopter is not an iron lump, it is not very resistant to beatings. It's almost as good as a single shot.
Although the pirate fleet of drone carrier owner Mira Khan is a feature, the interior can be directly 3D printed to produce more gyroplanes.
But it involves a timeliness problem, and the tactic of adding fuel is not advisable. It can only accumulate enough squads, and then three drone carriers are dispatched at the same time to form a squadron. This is a force, and supporting the battlefield can have some effect.
But during this window period, New Wellington was really in dire straits, and the transport function of the king worm of the alien insect took advantage of the opportunity to take the opportunity to play a role, and the stinging snakes, jumping worms, and even the infected were transported through the minefield and into the city. Combined with the mutants and aberrations that frantically culled when they saw non-alien units, the scene could no longer be described as lively.
In the face of this chaotic situation, the performance of the Ares division is a little unacceptable, for them, the most difficult battle before was the staggered fight with the insects, but the basic front was not lost, and the rear was not full of flames.
It's different now, it's really a mess now. This requires every part, and even each team, to have a better performance, and can also take care of the completion of the overall tactical task to a certain extent, which is indeed a difficult problem, the will to fight, professional quality, which can not be missing.
Ares Division obviously can't do this, Leon Fox has never fought this kind of bad battle, he used to play a battle line battle with the alien insects, and was scolded by some people for being conservative, one of the big reasons is that he is afraid of the current situation, and the fire will be saved everywhere.
Leon doesn't have this ability, he is in a hurry now, and he has a feeling that he is in a state of exhaustion and has collapsed.
This sensation culminated when it was notified that the Alien Worm had used the Tunnel Worm and was flowering at several nodes in New Wellington, so much so that there were shouts everywhere for rescue.
Through the video, Kane can clearly see that Leon's forehead sideburns are rapidly oozing beads of sweat, his lips are shaking, his hands are shaking, and he can't cope with the request for help in the channel.
"Rear Admiral Fawkes, I think there is a need for a united front now, as the supreme general of the human side in Josara, it is very appropriate for you to be the temporary supreme commander, I suggest that you focus on space, command our fleet, pay attention to the possibility of the alien insect raid orbit, and the ground war, I will take over temporarily. ”
Leon couldn't hear that Kane was throwing him a step, and the temporary supreme commander was also the supreme commander, and he had a lot of merit.
As for whether there is merit or not, of course there is, I don't see that at least a third of the refugees have been evacuated, and the number of insects killed is also quite considerable.
Of course, from the point of view of whether or not the tactical and strategic objectives were achieved, the results were not ideal.
Since Kane didn't care about this great achievement, he was willing to calculate the merit from a human point of view, and gave him the highest power, Leon was naturally very happy to throw the command to Kane. After all, from his point of view, now that the bottom is guaranteed, the next thing is to see how much you earn.
Kane was quite satisfied with Leon's understanding of current affairs, and to be honest, he was afraid that Leon was still haunted by the previous ship losses, and at this time it was not enough to settle the account, so he had to take advantage of the bull's horns and ignore the grim situation and the people below.
If he really wants to make a mess like that, Kane has nothing to do, after all, the two are not facing each other, and now they are racing against time, even if he plays superpowers to rush over to level Leon, the new Wellington is estimated to be incorrigible.
Now that he has successfully taken over the command, Kane directly ordered the front line to play the strong man to break his wrist, give up some nodes, and strengthen others.
The number of Ares divisions is not large, although it is directly expanded from regiments to divisions, but that is with the number of fleets, although the members of the battle cruisers in this era are not as many as the sea ship members of the origin earth, but after all, it is a fleet dominated by battle cruisers, easily accounting for 65% of the total number , It's just that because the Federation has always been the Continental Army, so the Interstellar Marine Corps is the main body, and Ares's Marine Corps soldiers have been upgraded from the original garrison to the Interstellar Marine Corps, simply put, there will be special battle patrol protection in the future, and assist the GIs to land on major battlefields.
The number is not large, but the backbone is not bad, and it has also been tempered in the battle with the insects, this team is generally not soft, with Kane's strict evaluation, it is above the passing line, which is enough to make it superior to 80% of the Federation's army.
These GIs are indeed worthy of this honor, and after receiving the order, they did not discount it, and carried it out quickly and effectively.
Some of them even played a little more than a level, protecting and quickly rescuing the refugees they encountered along the way, and then rushed to the designated position to establish a temporary defensive ring.
Kane issued an order, and naturally there were also coping mechanisms, such as concentrating the harvesters to ensure air supremacy at important nodes, and then sending a hospital boat to pick up people.
Before the Earth UED did not send a fleet to expedition to the Koplu Star Area, the field emergency system of the human military here was still far behind, so there was no so-called hospital boat, but a transport plane.
This transport plane has a hint of the shadow of the P38 twin demon of World War II, and the front is a bit like the transport plane of the {Starship Troops} world, with a standard pod in the shape of a flat box hanging under the manta ray-sized body.
Kane was naturally in place at one time, and although he didn't have the ox to load such a transport plane with a reckless engine like Jim Reynolds, the hospital boat lived up to its name, and could provide emergency treatment to the wounded on the battlefield.
In addition to the node evacuation, Kane also activated the Stargate Focused Protection Program. The remaining personnel no longer need to be quarantined and leave directly through the stargate.
Aldares is quite critical of this, he thinks that since the virus of the alien worm can play the activation type, then it may not be impossible to think of the vicious trick of leaving a few rat droppings without activating as seeds.
It was Tasada who knew Kane and told Aldaris that the measures at Fort Sanctuary were extremely perfect, and that the quarantine would definitely be repeated in Marsala.
Aldares pouted: "Marsala, it's also going to be finished, it's just a matter of time." ”......
That's right, on December 31, 2499, the day Kane left for Josala, the situation in the south of Marsala took a turn for the worse, and a Democratic League shelter was attacked on a massive scale, although the news has not yet been learned by Kane.
Kane rushed to Josara, the planet's activation, to check on the situation and catch up with the humanitarian rescue, he was not surprised, nor was he particularly concerned about the gains and losses.
For him, this incident is also a small episode, and his main purpose is to confirm whether Josara's anomaly is related to the old branch, and if the answer is yes, then he must consult the main body as soon as possible.
Is there any need to continue playing in the SC universe, after all, Kane is just a new god, and his foundation is still very thin and he can't afford to make a wave.
As for what to do with the human beings in this world after he is gone, it is naturally a cold salad, and it is better to hide if he can't afford to provoke it, right? Even if there is an old branch, most of it is also a conspiracy against Sarnagar's legacy, that is, the star spirit and the alien insect, the wild intelligent population of human beings, it is estimated that they are still in the eyes of the old branch, and if they have to rush to die, then die.
Cold, how could he care so much about the lives of Josara's refugees? Now there are tens of thousands of people who need to be saved, and they are constantly decreasing because of the slaughter of insects.
Of course, the specific work is another thing, since you do it as well as possible, Kane still has this quality, so it is inevitable that Graybeard's firefighting team has entered the scene, or it can be called a slaughter search and rescue team.
