Chapter 37: The Fall of the Promoter
The star of Monlais gradually set over the horizon, and this side of the planet gradually became veiled by night.
A1 got up from his seat, stretched slightly, and glanced at the monitor next to him, seeing that it was getting dark outside.
She walked to the side of the locker and began to change into power armor.
His own set of special CMC power armor comes from the Sierra Company, which is the developer and producer of the CMC series of power armor, from the original CMC-200 series power armor used by the Federation to the CMC-300 used by the Marine Corps, the CMC-660 used by the Fire Bat and Marauder units, and the CMC-405 used by the Medic. The company is still developing new power armor products, including police power armor for police use in various places, civilian power armor for civilian use, and power armor for commanders of senior officers.
After coming out of the command center, A1 looked at the Keha Point base, which was already somewhat silent, nodded, and then walked out of the base. On the way, you can often meet Renault's rangers, and the two sides basically don't say hello much, just nod to each other and check their identities before leaving.
After registering, A1 left the base and walked straight in the direction of the Star Spirit Base.
There is no lush vegetation on the surface of Monlais, and many of them are wasteland, which is rather barren. A1 silently continued to advance towards the Star Spirit Base, and soon moved away from the human advance base.
And she soon discovers her target - a Tadarin who is silently waiting with her eyes closed.
It's actually hard not to spot this guy. This Tadarin had been exuding a vague psionic power, and it was impossible not to notice a few spots of red suddenly appearing in the middle of the wasteland at night.
The closer he got to that Tadarin, the more A1 could feel the awe-inspiring psionic energy coming at him. It's just that it was just an 8-level star spirit releasing spiritual energy, and it was far from being able to pose any threat to her, who was already level 12.
“…… You came as promised. ”
"Hmm." A1 stopped and stood not far from Tadarin, "I don't know, what are you looking for me for?" ”
“…… Why would you want to help that horde of humans? Tadarin was silent for a moment before glaring at A1, "That wretched band of blasphemers, trying to desecrate the ancient sacred temple!" Why should you help them? ”
A1 shook his head, "I'm just doing my job. I'm loyal to a human commander, so ......"
"Allegiance to humanity?!" Tadarin seemed incredulous, "You have such great power, why should you be loyal to that weak and ignorant human? With the God of Darkness above, even in the Chain of Ascension, you have the power to compete with the High Lords! ”
"I don't need your rhetoric, I'm meant to be. Is there anything else you would like to say? ”
The Tadarin stood up, and the red spiritual energy in his hand flew up and down: "Tadarin is bound to lose this battle. In that case, let me have a good time fighting you! As soon as he finished speaking, a bright red psionic ball was instantly thrown from his hand towards A1.
A1 sighed, a strong blue light erupted in his eyes, and the psionic ball instantly exploded into nothingness as it went.
"You Tadarin are really a bunch of war maniacs......"
"Thanks for the compliment!" The promotion's eyes lit up. A1 felt the hairs stand on end, the blue light in his eyes shone brightly, and that Tadarin instantly felt a surge of spiritual energy into his body, and then his own spiritual energy began to disobey the command and went violently in an instant.
"Feedback! Your psionic manipulation is so strong! ”
The feedback technique is not difficult to understand, and the main thing is to compete with the psionic energy reserves and psionic energy use skills of both friends and foes. The most classic examples are the high-ranking Templars and human ghosts of the Dharam Star Spirits. Star Spirit's high-level Templar psionic level is on average level 8, and he is a master of psionic energy use himself; The average level of human ghosts is level 5-8, and the use of psionic energy is still only at a fairly superficial level, and many times equipment is needed to perform many of its own tactical skills, so high-level Templars can directly use feedback to kill ghosts, and ghosts will not feedback this skill on the one hand, and on the other hand, many times they are inferior to star spirits in psionic use and psionic levels, so they cannot use the same means to deal with star spirits.
"Since you want to die, I'll give you a good time." A1 raised his hand slightly, and a blue lightning storm formed directly at Tadarin's location. With lightning and thunder, Tadarin's wails of pain rang out over the wilderness.
For psionic masters like the promoted, feedback alone is not enough to completely eliminate them, they can only be temporarily controlled, and a psionic storm is enough to clean up the aftermath.
A1 ignored Tadarin, who was in pain in the midst of the storm, and she looked at her right hand and shook it gently.
In fact, it is said to be pleasant, but it is not very happy. The Promoter eventually died a painful death in the torment of the Psionic Storm. His psionic power was only a ball of psionic energy and a psionic storm that was interrupted by feedback before he could release it.
At this time, the patrol in the vulture had arrived at the scene, only to find a distorted corpse of a star spirit and A1 with a melancholy expression.
After taking notes, A1 and the inhumanoid corpse were brought back to the base.
After careful identification and examination, it was confirmed that this Tadarin was the supreme commander of the Star Spirit on this planet, that is, the promoter who had previously threatened the base. The promoter who was originally planned to solve it when he attacked the next day did not expect it to be solved directly at this time.
"It's as simple as that? One feedback plus one psionic storm? ”
"Hmm." A1 nodded, "After all, the gap between psionic level and control skills is still not small. ”
“…… I thought you were going to have some earth-shattering duel, three or four hundred rounds back and forth......"
"Three or four hundred rounds, no matter how much we have in our psionic energy, we won't be able to consume enough. And after all, it's not a level enemy, if Hydra goes, it may be the other way around. ”
"Then how do you make me water the word count? Originally, this battle should have lasted at least three or four chapters, but now it's good, it's over before it starts......"
"Huh?!"
(A little bit of a mention here, I really didn't expect anyone to ask this question.) )
(The battlecruiser has an establishment of about 5,000-8,000 people because the establishment includes more than just those responsible for operating the ship.) The battlecruisers in StarCraft look like battleships in melee artillery hand-to-hand combat during the planetary naval era. But in reality, the role of the battle patrol was much more than just being responsible for lining up to fire. The battle patrol itself has at least one Marine Regiment of Marine Units, at least one squadron of carrier-based aircraft, and a four-piece set of forward bases to build forward positions, as well as logistics and technical personnel responsible for making the above-mentioned units operational; The recreational facilities inside the battle cruiser itself also need personnel to operate, plus personnel who need to work on shifts...... )
(In fact, the battlecruiser can be directly regarded as a kind of mothership, with firepower, defense, and maneuverability, which can penetrate into the atmosphere to fight, and can also fight fiercely with enemy ships in space, can carry land combat units to airdrop surface operations, can release carrier-based aircraft to raid, can send engineering regiments to directly build surface bases, and can be used as the main command center of an operation if necessary, and can completely fight independently for a long time.) )
(So the so-called 500-meter class requires 8,000 people, which is not a sign of low automation.) The degree of automation of humans can be seen in the game, with a variety of robots and AI lieutenants showing one or two. Although it can't be compared to a super first-generation AI like Optimus, it is definitely not that bad. On the contrary, I think that 500 meters can accommodate 8,000 people, maybe it is a symbol of a high degree of automation? After all, there are so many people in such a small space...... )
(And that might explain why there were only 25 battlecruisers in half of the Empire's fleet.) You can think of a battlecruiser as an aircraft carrier battle group. Half a fleet is 25 aircraft carrier battle groups, so a fleet is 50 aircraft carrier battle groups. The empire has a total of two fleets, which is a full hundred aircraft carrier battle groups...... In this way, it looks like the empire is stronger. )
(There is also the Pride of Ortaris and the Memories of Nessin, both of which have been officially stated that the Star Spirit was going to drive away during the Battle of the Brood, but when they took off, they forgot to open their shields and were blown down by the Juggernaut with Mosquito Blasters, which I didn't make up.) )
(There should be no other questions to answer for the time being, just slip away...... )
