Chapter 196: Progress of the Pride of Otaris
"So that's the situation right now." After saying this, Yang Yi threw the pen in his hand on the table as if he had unloaded a thousand catties of burden, lay back on his chair, and then pointed to the star map on the command table, "The task of the Sarnagar World Ship is already simple. The most important thing we need to think about now is the matter of Charl. β
Several ship ladies around the command table were frowning, staring at the star map on the command table silently, as if they were thinking about countermeasures.
After a long time, A6 broke the terrible silence, and she said slowly, "Anyway, let's summarize the power comparison between us and the enemyβ"
"We don't need to summarize, no matter how we summarize this battle, we won't have any chance of winning." Black Rose interrupted A6, waved his hand and said, "All our ships and air units have to compete with the swarm for orbital control at high altitude in orbit, don't even think about air supremacy in the atmosphere, we can't even send transport planes, we can only rely on ground forces to win this battle; But there are tens of billions of insects on Char, and ground units have an absolute numerical advantage regardless of whether they account for the majority or not, and the only way we can win is to occupy a dangerous terrain and establish a position, and hold out until the artifact is activated - but even then, the odds of victory are slim, not to mention that the swarm can use their king bugs to drop everywhere with absolute air supremacy, they are everywhere, and the pervasive pit worms will also be a pretty big trouble. β
"Fortunately, the geological structure of Char itself is not stable, and it is not difficult to find a suitable and dangerous terrain, but the most disadvantageous aspect of our comparison with the swarm is that we simply cannot replenish equipment." Hydra pointed out another problem, "Ammunition is a big problem, even if we can destroy a worm with one bullet, we may need millions or even hundreds of millions of bullets to keep the artifact activated." Not to mention whether we can bring in enough ammunition, just transporting so much ammunition to the ground is a problem. There is also the problem of equipment, although we can train biochemical troops, but we can't produce heavy equipment at all, such as siege tanks, Thor and other equipment we basically play a little less, although the imperial fleet has more ships, but they can't even train and produce biochemical troops, so they can only rely on a regiment of marines carried on their own ships, and the swarm can hatch down to the worker bees, up to the thunder beasts, and the alien insect units of the nest insect lord. β
"Those spore batteries are also a problem." A1 also raised a difficult point, "With those spore batteries, we can't build any effective relay network, and we may not even know what the ground battle will be." It's also hard for us to get close to the surface for any level of fire support...... There is not enough traffic for communications, there is no fire support from the air...... This could be a nightmare for us, Commander. In the end, she set her sights on Yang Yi.
"I know." He shook his head, a muffled voice coming out of his mouth, but still slumped in his chair, "I came to you to find a solution...... It's never a good idea to attack the enemy's lair directly, but we're going to have to go crazy with the boss. β
"By the way, Behemoth."
"Your Excellency." Behemoth, in a corner of the command room, bowed his head to him when he heard this.
"In this battle of Char, in order to avoid accidental injury, I can only ask you not to participate in it for the time being. Honestly, I'm still curious to know who is more powerful between your swarm and Queen Blade's......"
"Do as you command, my lord."
"The Pride of Ortaris's Leap Network will make a big difference, but the question is whether we can keep it from the swarm's onslaught." Yang Yi pointed to Shantila, who was watching them without saying a word, "It would be fine if the Pride of Ortaris was the same size as Hydra, or at least the same size as Black Rose, but the Ark ship of the Star Spirit is too big......"
ββ¦β¦ If you can delay the start of the campaign a bit, I might be able to complete some of the restoration work at the Starforge Forge a bit. β
The moment Shantila's voice fell, the atmosphere in the command room seemed to freeze in an instant. All eyes were drawn to her by her words. It's just that Shantila's expression is still as flat as ever.
ββ¦β¦ How long will it take you? After a long time, Yang Yi swallowed his saliva and asked in a hoarse voice that seemed to have been thirsty for a long time.
"At least about two months. The Kale Spirits are already working overtime. You'll then be able to use some of the Astrals' ground mech unitsβ"
"Including the Purifiers?"
Yang Yi seemed to feel a slight fluctuation in Shantila's mood, and he saw that Shantila's psionic eyes seemed to move a few times.
"Executive, the Purifier has long been sealed by the High Council becauseβ"
"Protector, the Supreme Council was already destroyed by the biters in the Battle of the Brood, and now your executive is me. I'm asking you, can you produce purifier units and put them on the battlefield? β
ββ¦β¦ OK. β
"Good. I don't want to have any conflict with you on this matter, I'll give you three months, and I'll discuss it with Renault. Once the Starry Sky Forge is repaired, you'll be in production. We need all the power we can use...... But it should be limited to ground units, right? β
"To be exact, part of the ground mechanical unit and part of the air unit." Shantila walked to the command table and stretched out her hand, Yang Yi instantly felt that the spiritual energy that was enough to suffocate him gathered in Shantila's hands, and then one by one, the images formed by the convergence of pure spiritual energy took shape in Shantila's hands and appeared in front of everyone in the command room.
"Dragon knights, mechanical sentinels, detectors, reconnaissance planes, ......" Yang Yi squinted at the units that Shantila had painted with psionic energy, and quickly asked with some disappointment, "Is that all?" β
"Yes, I'm sorry, but at the moment we can't produce giant units or large ships." The psionic brilliance in Shantila's hand quickly dissipated into bits of starlight and returned to her body, "But even if that's all I think, it's enough to help our warriors." β
ββ¦β¦ I think there should have been more units in the Astral Spirit's battle sequence. A6 asked with a frown, "There should be two types of infantry mechs, one with the ability to bend in space for short distances, and the other with extremely thick armor and shield ......."
"You're talking about the Stalkers and the Immortals." Yang Yi immediately reacted to what A6 mentioned, and he shrugged his shoulders helplessly and replied, "It's a pity, the Stalker is the infantry mecha of the Nerazim clan, which was originally used as a replacement for the Dragon Knight, and was originally only used by Nairazim, and after the fall of the El, there was no Dragon Knight Temple, so Dalam had to introduce the Stalker to replace the Dragon Knight." The Immortals are similar, except that the Stalker is filled with Narazim, and the Immortals are filled with the Dharam Star Spirit. β
"By the time the Stalkers actually entered the Dharam Arsenal, the ark had been built for an unknown number of years, and the same was true for the Immortals. The Pride of Otarith was built by the Astral Empire during the Golden Age, and it can only be used to train and produce Daram Star Spirits, so the Dark Templars of Nerazim, the Pirate Ship, and the Ark Ship of Void Glow created by Daram and Nerazim cannot be produced...... It's a pity for me, but it's a historical fact, and there's nothing we can do. β
"At least Dharam Starling's own arsenal is already good for us. To be honest, at least the Daram Star Spirit's psionic energy is much more stable than the Void Psionic energy used by the Nerazim clan, and if Shantila really has a Dark Templar under her command, she probably won't be worried about the return of Twilight Star......"
