Chapter 125: Operation "Excavator" (17)
However, it also meant that when they were close to the summit and even the moment they reached the summit, they would be subjected to ferocious counter-fire from Tadarin. Then this is where the Black Rose comes in.
When Black Rose was about to reach the top, a violent psionic storm appeared on the head of Tadarin's defenders in an instant, and then Black Rose directly used the mountaineering pickaxe to quickly jump up from the cliff before he was close to the top of the mountain when Tadarin's formation was disrupted, and then directly through the weight of I don't know how many tons, cough cough, tonnage smashed from the air to the top of the mountain.
What the ship girls have been keeping secret is the weight of their mental bodies. Just as many of their physical data are tied to ship data, so is their weight tied to the tonnage of the ship. However, if you want a girl to say that she weighs tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of tons...... Unless the man has already arranged his own aftermath and has nothing to fear. Otherwise, you have to think carefully about how you will send it when you are so ravaged that your parents can't recognize it.
However, this does not mean that they are usually so ...... Otherwise, their own people on the ship would be enough to make it difficult for the ship to move, let alone make any road bureau scold on the ground. Their weight can be regulated to a certain extent, and this kind of ability that completely violates common sense can only be done by these creatures that completely violate common sense - "I'm already a ship mother, and I don't have any superpowers, so I really think that the old lady is one of those nurses who carry needles?" Black Rose said.
There is a limit to the regulation, they can generally only switch between two weights, one is completely against the original weight, tens of thousands of tons, hundreds of thousands of tons; There is also the normal weight of the mental body, which is generally taken from the average level of the race that the mental body of the ship girl has transfigured, for example, Black Rose and A1 are taken from the average level, and Behemoth is the average level of the insect queen.
Of course, different tonnage of different ships will still cause a difference in mental body weight, so in fact, A1 is the heaviest of the three human ship girls, and the Hydra is obviously the lightest. This is also reflected in the height and size of the mental body, with the A1 being the tallest and the strongest, while the Hydra being the shortest and the most petite.
Shantila is an exception, if she also follows this rule, let alone a level of seven or eight meters or even more than ten meters, after all, she herself is about 76 kilometers long, and the tonnage is unimaginably large. However, since she herself is actually inherited from the ship's supreme protector, Shantila, the various stats of the mind body are benchmarked to Shantila, which is considered a special case - of course, she can also adjust her weight to ...... if the situation requires it Ahem, but you don't usually need to.
Once again, the cliff shook violently from Black Rose's actions, and one of the Reapers accidentally fell, but fortunately, the jetpack saved his life from falling to the bottom of the cliff, but he had to climb to the top again.
After Black Rose reached the top, the battle situation had basically stabilized, and she slashed left and right in the star spirit group, fishing in troubled waters, so that the immortals and pursuers did not dare to fire for fear of accidental injury. It's not that Tadarin is so united, if they do fire, the death and injury of the fanatics is a small matter, leaving a hole in the defense is a big thing, she is coming up, and there is a group of reapers......
Black Rose took the opportunity to cause damage among Tadarin's army, and when the Reaper finally reported that the first troops were about to reach the top, she directly killed Tadarin's troops and came to the edge of the cliff to throw another psionic storm, and then reached out and dragged up a Reaper who had just arrived.
The operation officially began as the Reaper forces reached the top. They didn't plan to fight here, the Reaper troops quickly broke into the Tadarin base under the cover of the Black Rose Spirit's ability, searched for and destroyed the Crystal Towers in operation, and then planted explosives on the railgun and blew it up directly, and by the way, blew up the Star Spirit Hub here and immediately broke through to the front line. Group C will be ready to respond.
While the Reapers are on their mission, Black Rose's main task is to attract and delay Tadarin's defenders. But for her, it was a good chance for revenge. Several batches of her people were reimbursed by Tadarin, and since she got the opportunity, she naturally couldn't help but take advantage of it. Of course, it's actually a bit inappropriate to say this, after all, they are all invaders, and they came to grab artifacts, but ...... Renault didn't care anyway, and she didn't care even more as a pirate.
The mission lasted about two hours, but just an hour and a half after the battle began, the railgun and the Astral Hub were reduced to two ruins amid a violent explosion. By this time, the Reaper forces had broken through to the front line and were separated from the battlefield by Group C. Group D then stepped forward to cover the retreat of Group ABC. Two hours and fifteen minutes after the start of the operation, the whole army disengaged from contact with Tadarin and rendezvoused at the assembly point, and the mission was completed.
After determining that the only orbital defense in the area had been destroyed, Hyperion, A1 and Black Rose, who had already arrived at the designated location, quickly began dropping reinforcements and supplies to the intended position. Behemoth had also regained some strength and began to project Alien troops into the ground. The situation of the whole battle finally improved at this time.
Tadarin tried to thwart the operation, but they had exhausted too many defenses in previous offsets. Their attacks were not as strong as before, and by the time the Insect Force arrived on the battlefield, the battle on the ground was already sealed.
It was also at this time that human forces on the ground found that radio communications seemed to be partially restored. The destruction of Tadarin's only Astral Hub in the region has resulted in much less jamming in the area, allowing ground forces to gain radio communications over longer distances, but still not enough to communicate with the fleet command, and still rely on the Black Rose.
After the landing zone was established, follow-up reinforcements began to arrive in a steady stream. The fleet command readjusted the plan in the light of the existing situation, requiring the units to first establish a solid forward base in the area. In order to ensure that the interference of radio communications does not recur as last time, the attack on the base of the Mobius expedition was carried out by the swarm of Behemoth.
127 hours after landing, Behemoth's swarm organized a large attack force on the ground and began to pour towards the Morbis base, and the battle officially began. 142 hours after landing, the Mobius Expedition base was occupied by a swarm. According to the Scouts, radio interference still exists in areas other than the area where the forward base is located, so they still need to rely on the Black Rose as a liaison intermediary.
However, the large communication base stations in the orbital control center can communicate over long distances, which ensures that the defense coordination of the entire base is not thrown into chaos due to radio interference.
145 hours after landing, the human forces on the ground were assembled and began to move towards the Morbis Expedition base. At this point, the entire "excavator" operation has finally entered the second stage.
