New Wellington, the last human settlement on Josara, is in the midst of war.

Countless alien insects are constantly converging here, and even if there is a firepower network built by the Star Spirit Golden Fleet in the high-altitude orbit to intercept it, it still relies on the method of ignoring the losses to increase the number of alien insects that break through the interception net to a level that is ten times the strength of the defensive army.

In this case, the only way for the Golden Fleet to achieve precision strikes is to send combat forces in the atmosphere.

Not only Aldaris, but also Tasada was not willing to do this.

The original historical line Tasada did meticulously fulfill his belief in the Kara doctrine of 'helping the needy', and in Marsala, in Antioch, and later in Tasanis, the Star Spirit Expeditionary Force carried out meticulous and in-depth 'face-to-face' combat against the insects under his orders.

Of course, due to the chaotic situation on the human side, factional strife, and the troubles of the careerist of Mengsk, the behavior of the star spirits to 'help the needy', the human race did not appreciate it. Even, in order to destroy Tasanis and allow the insects affected by the ghost energy launcher to gain a foothold, Mengsk also sent combat forces to intercept the military operation of the Star Spirit to destroy the alien insects and prevent them from establishing a beachhead.

It was precisely because of the success of this operation that the insects became the climate before the humans of Tasanis could react effectively, so that they could not even do a decent counterattack, and billions of people died.

Although Kane could understand the difficulties of Mengsk at that time, and understood that it was difficult for him to succeed in usurping the throne except for a thorough purge of the top echelons of the Federation in that way.

But the practice of sacrificing billions of people for this still made him disagree, so this became a black account he wrote in the small book of Mengsk.

Not long ago, he also deliberately pointed out this question, and he believed that with Mengsk's cleverness, he could not hear the warning in it.

If he still insists on flexing his muscles by means of holocaust or something, Kane will kill him. The same goes for other human rulers. Kane can tolerate inaction, but he can't tolerate the raising of a butcher's knife against the people.

As Kane's-stirring stick comes into play again and again, the Astrals' Golden Fleet burns glass indiscriminately at Joshara without being rough.

But correspondingly, seeing the anti-insect performance of humans in Josala and Marsala, and having mysterious beings like 'angels' to support humans, Tasada no longer regards humans as objects that need to be supported and helped.

Then, as the supreme commander of the Golden Fleet, Tasada, who has the duties of a general and also cares for his compatriots, will naturally not easily send his subordinates to the battlefield.

Tasada is one of the astral spirits who prefer to believe in what the 'angel' says, and admits that the insects are the old enemies of the astral spirits, the kind that never dies.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, human beings are the host, after all, the alien insects and viruses are all planets colonized by humans, so the resistance to the slaughter of alien insects is naturally dominated by humans, and the guest star spirits can reach out appropriately to help.

As he said to Aldaris, "Humanity has always felt that its civilization is great, not inferior to the astral spirits. I also really want to form an alliance with the Star Spirits. Then, now is the time to behave, if you are so weak and incompetent that you can only rely on external forces to help, what qualifications do you have to communicate with the star spirits as equals, or even form an alliance. ”

Ardaris felt that Tasada had said the right thing. Internally, he is also thinking this way. If you don't want to be looked down on and ask for reciprocity, then show strength and prove your qualifications, otherwise how can you make people believe that you have the ability to be mutually beneficial?

And if you just want to blindly take advantage of it, even if the star spirit is a benevolent person, do you think that the party that distributes bread and porridge will regard those who reach out and take the porridge and bread they give for nothing as equal status?

Impossible, the giver can easily look down, and the one who reaches out to beg feels inferior. Deepening this theory, that is, the relationship between civilizations, one is strong and the other is weak, and the weak must be overtaken by the strong, while openly and secretly taking benefits from the strong, such as wealth and technology, and on the other hand, they also require the other party to respect, because the personality is equal, what a manifestation of greed and even shamelessness?

Other people's wealth and technology are not blown by the wind, and even if they are, why should you take advantage of your feelings and take care of your feelings? Could it be that the weak should be taken care of, and the weak are justified?

If we can think through this question, we will be much clearer about the basic relationships between people, between countries, and between civilizations.

Therefore, Xingling did not send ground troops, but only supported it with firepower networks and stargates, Kane was not resentful, but received this love.

Of course, if there is a chance to pit Xingling, pull him into the water as soon as possible, and Kane will not be soft, one yard to one yard.

Graybeard's rescue team faced an unprecedented number of casualties in the face of a staggering number of insects.

Kane experienced the battle scene through on-camera equipment and even unique telepathy, and he even carried out a certain degree of short-term manipulation in the form of consciousness.

I have to say that even if he uses his combat awareness and skills far beyond ordinary people, he can make the controlled biological man exert 150% of his unrestricted combat power, it still does not help the situation.

Although the class of the alien insect does not seem to be many, it is born in countless worlds and countless battles, so once the mixing of the arms is completed, the overall combat power will immediately increase geometrically.

To put it in more detail, a small group of alien insects with the king worm as the core is in no way inferior to the top special operations team in modern society. These battle groups also have a wealth of experience in coordinated operations, so it will not be because of the fire interception network of the Star Spirit, which prevents them from gathering in large numbers, and their combat power will be greatly reduced because of this.

On the human side, even if it is Graybeard, the three-dimensional type of the class is also inferior.

Machine gunners, pyroists, medics, Graybeard's combat team, and the regular personnel structure are these three. This time, a heavy armor butcher was added temporarily.

Lacks the Heavy Assault Raider Marauder with grenade weapons, the Agile Reaper, and the Sniper with medium and long-range precision strikes.

Normally, this is not a big loophole, because more than 40% of Graybeard's combat power units are supported by unmanned equipment, such as the Reaper gyroplane, which can play several roles as needed.

But this time, in the face of more than ten times the number of alien insect air units, the survivability of the Reapers has been severely challenged, according to incomplete statistics, since the start of the war, the average survival time of the Graybeard's Reaper rotorcraft drone is less than 10 minutes.

Without the strong support of this important player, the performance of the ground forces has become unsatisfactory.

The other is the impact of search and rescue missions on the performance of combat power.

Kane also clearly realized once again what it means to have two sides of things.

Cybarians have green-skinned traits that are not afraid of death, and regard fighting to the death as a complete destination.

From a general point of view, this trait is simply made specifically for warriors, and it can be said that those who have this trait are born warriors.

However, not being afraid of death can actually be a disadvantage, and the result is, simply put, 'rigid and easy to break'.

Like this 'Last Rescue' incident, many of Graybeard's creatures died with honorable bullets, even if they pulled several times their own insect to be buried, but under the premise that the mission goal was not achieved, fighting with the insect was a failure, which was a failure in itself.

Kane had heard more than once from the mid-level commanders about the battle damage, and each time the report meant that more than 5 combat groups had sacrificed their lives, and correspondingly, the refugees they were responsible for searching for and escorting must have died.

In the rescue time of about 80 minutes, with the help of equipment, only more than 10,000 survivors who were successfully escorted to the location of the stargate or were beaten by the rhythm of the hospital boat, nearly three times as many refugees, died for one reason or another.

And on the frontal battlefield, the same Graybeard's combat power, against the endless attacks of insects, the SCV regiment, which originally came to strengthen the defense line, has now become a maintenance team, under the protection of the soldiers, trying its best to repair and maintain the performance of the defense line.

Mainly anti-aircraft missile vehicles and missile towers, followed by classic bunkers, these basic equipment is almost non-stop pouring firepower, the insects have been killed and injured in this area, but the combat pressure is getting stronger and stronger, that is to say, the number and quality of the insects have always maintained a steady and rising trend.

The minefield that made Kane most depressed, the fact that it didn't explode, was a resounding slap in the face. Kane seemed to hear the brain worm commanding this operation saying, "I'll step on it if you set it up?" Since we keep saying that we are smart, don't compare us to be stupid in specific details, okay?"

The minefield has been in a state of obsolescence. Of course, this is actually a little unfair, the basic role of the minefield still plays, the insect wants to cross, you have to from the air, or from the deeper underground, although the air power of the insect is also huge, the ability to escape to the ground is also strong, but after all, it is not as strong as the land insect tide, destroying the withering and decaying.

What made Kane even more depressed was that later, when he went to another battlefield to lay mines, he found that the insects had mastered a new technology, that is, to 'eat' the mines through the fungus blanket. To put it simply, the semi-intelligent system of the mine is not enough to identify and deal with the cracking method of the fungus blanket ooze monster, and as a result, in the process of spreading the fungus blanket, it was successfully demined by alien insects.

The insect used this beautiful hand to tell Kane that in terms of weapon intelligence, the biological weapon of the insect is not in vain.

Through the vision of the grassroots officers and soldiers, Kane repeatedly learned the destructive ability of the insects, and in the face of the devastation that was corroded by the attack of the insects within 1 hour, Kane had nothing to say.

Later, the humans in the Koplu Star Zone who watched the relevant recorded video also had nothing to say. Both the strength of the destruction and the effect of the destruction are so impressive, so profound that they pale in the face of anything.

Insect corpses and corrosion marks can be seen everywhere, explosion craters left by the detonation of glorious bullets that can be seen from time to time, small puddles of blood, and stumps and flesh are scattered like rubble...... The battlefield was so tragic that people had no interest in caring about casualties.

There are too many deaths, so much that they are numb, so much that they shudder from the heart.

Just like a famous program host said: "What about bravery? Could it be that they can perform better than Graybeard? Graybeard, whose highest glory is death in battle, has sounded the glorious bullet again and again, and still desperately kills the alien insects who are several times their size in a very unfavorable situation." It's not that I'm discouraged, the elite of any unit of the federal army has this performance, and it will come to an end. ”

But even with this kind of dedication, it is still difficult to change anything. There are too many insects. As the angel said, they are intelligent and do have life characteristics, but they are more in line with the concept of biochemical weapons, they are the flesh and blood version of smart bullets, and it is a strategic mistake to fight with smart bullets. Therefore, how many bugs to kill is no longer a concept that people can be proud of. ”

Another thing that shocked humanity at New Wellington was undoubtedly the appearance of mutants and aberrations.

Mutants are the majority, the appearance of the organic fusion of people, octopuses and insects, arthropods, tentacles, look different, but in fact is a type, the difference is only in the position of the limbs, the style of some details of the difference, this is due to the lack of sufficient constraints, the result of arbitrary growth, from the biological destructural, they are not very different from each other.

Aberrations are different, each of them is distinctive, and the biological deconstructs are very different from ordinary mutants. It's like the difference between those featured zombies in {Survival Road} and ordinary zombies.

What shocks people about these alien virus infections is not their ugly appearance and unique combat ability.

To put it mildly, with the degree of information development in this era, what kind of hunting and ghost animal effects have not been seen by human beings? People come up with brains, and the heavy-tasting monsters presented through film and television and the virtual world, no matter the degree of horror or the degree of weirdness, are all on top of mutants and distortions, and they also come with special BGM.

What really struck people was that those who had turned into monsters, their sense of self did not seem to have died, they involuntarily destroyed, howled, and did crazy things, but they were in agony, and more than once they tried their best to ask their opponents to kill them in order to relieve their pain.

People feel that it is about one of the cruelest things in the world to see themselves become uncontrollable monsters, kill their relatives and friends, and destroy all the good things they cherished in the past with their own hands, but they can't even die, and can only ask others for help.

This is an important reason why a large number of humans in the Koplustar region lose their sense of security in a very short period of time, which in turn leads to large-scale riots and social turmoil.

The laser drilling, which Kane was most concerned about, was finally completed before the fall of New Wellington......
