Chapter 243: "The Last Battle Against the Alien Worms" (11)

After hundreds of hours of fierce fighting, the artifact finally began the slow process of recharging amid the cheers of the workers. The workers, who had worked hundreds of hours in the crisis-ridden Char, were finally able to get a little time to rest. It's time to get busy with the fighters who have been nesting in the defensive line.

The workers who blew up the tunnel also dragged their tired bodies back to the station. These tunnels were confirmed to have been excavated by the swarm, but they did not have time to investigate in detail, so they could only roughly estimate that they were the work of the tunnel worms, but it was unknown why the tunnel worms did not dig further and break into the cave where the artifact was located. They blew up the tunnels to ensure safety, and although it caused a certain level of geological hazard – a risk they had to take to do on a planet with unstable geologic conditions like Charl.

The first line of defense was planned to be handled by humans and Tadarin, while Darham was responsible for the defense of the canyon, so that the swarm would not use the desperate tactics of King Worm Sea again. Aerial and orbital support was also expected to be cut off after a full-blown battle, so Yang Yi had the Wind Seeker personally descend to the planetary fortress on the ground, and if there was a communication problem during the battle, he would use the Wind Seeker to learn about the ground battle situation and try to restore communication.

The moment the artifact was activated, Yang Yi did feel a restless spiritual energy, which may be the power to attract the swarm to attack. Yang Yi did feel an impulsive desire from his mind, but he easily contained it. Ordinary people should not be able to feel it, and most of the creatures with reason and psionic energy should be able to contain it, so only most of the swarm creatures that rely only on their native instincts will be attracted to this psionic energy.

Regardless, this intense spiritual energy must be the source of the swarm's attack. Renault was not worried about the ground war, so he led people down to the surface to direct the battle, and handed over the space war to Matt Horner. Yang Yi also pushed the boat down the river and asked the Wind Seeker to be Renault's adjutant to deliver the message, and handed over the surface command of his human forces to Renault.

The platform is also a big problem, Warfield wanted to personally direct the battle of the platform, but was stopped by Yang Yi: just kidding, he ran to take care of the platform, so who will take care of the imperial fleet.

Yang Yi said that he would take care of the battle on the platform, so that he could command the fleet with peace of mind. He knew very well that the old general just wanted to take this opportunity to personally go to the battlefield and kill a few bugs to relieve his anger, but now was not the time for him to take this risk.

He naturally handed over the battle of the fleet to A6 to manage, he believed that these ships must be better than his own command, as long as he ensures that the platform is fine, the communication is smooth, and the operation is normal, then half of this final battle will be won.

About five minutes after the artifact began to charge, the red dots on the sensor tower began to agitate, and several frontline monitoring teams sent back reports of abnormal movements of the frontline insects. After a brief summary of the battle situation, the total number of insects has exceeded all previous records, and the staff expects that the entire Charr insects are pouring into the canyon.

While the combat units were ready, the members of the fleet command were also quickly in place. As expected, Kerrigan sacrificed Wang Worm Sea again at the last moment, and the number was far more than the last time.

However, Kerrigan obviously knew that the same move would not work against the Saint Seiya, so she turned over another hole card that had been hidden for a long time.

Canyon Fortress B7 Defense Zone.

Narrowly dodging the piercing claw, Ral pulled out his pistol and fired three shots at the Marine. The three bullets struck the marine's armor, and instead of sparks as expected, they splattered a large expanse of blood as if they had hit flesh and blood.

The Marine let out an eerie sneer, and seeing that the attack was unfavorable, his right hand once again turned into a blood-red sharp claw, and pounced on Rahr again.

Only this time it was unlucky, and before he could pounce, his head blossomed. The corpse swooped down on Ral's body by inertia, and the red and white almost covered Ral's helmet.

"It's bad luck, Ral." Four Eyes struggled to remove the body from him.

"You're really good at talking." Ral wiped his helmet so that he could barely see the scene outside, "Do you still have the washing liquid, mine is all gone." ”

"I don't have much left, I'll go find the supply depot later." Four-Eyes reached out and handed it to Ral, "Can you still contact the company?" ”

"The last time I contacted the company was two hours ago." Ral took his hand and struggled to his feet, bending down to pick up the rifle that had been thrown to the side, "What about you, what about your class?" ”

"Scattered by two inner ghosts, I want to contact you, but now it seems that radio communication in all frequency bands of the entire Char has been blocked." Four Eyes patted the dust on his power armor, "Only the short-range radio still has some effect, and it is enough for the two of us to talk at this distance." ”

"It's terrible." Ral grumbled in frustration, "We need to hurry to the company." What about Miles, didn't you find his class? ”

"I met him on the way here, and his squad looked fine, but he was retreating - he said he was going back to the ship to stay until the end of the battle, and it was really bad to follow the commander to Char." Four eyes shrugged at him.

Ral grinned, as if some college student had been struck by the brutality of the battlefield.

"And what now?"

"Let's find the company headquarters first, or at least find a large force that is still fighting to converge, and see what we should do next." Ral patted the ash on his body, "Anyway, it's not the first time, and finding the big army is basically half the way things are resolved." ”

"Understood, let's go."

Similar scenes take place not only in the defensive line of the fortress, but in every part of the defense zone, the platform and even the fleet. Yang Yi and Renault made a lot of calculations, but they forgot about the mimic chicks. It is not unreasonable that Kai Ruigan's sea of king worms is mixed with eye worms, Yang Yi forgot about this matter, so he had to swallow this bitter fruit with difficulty.

After the artifact began to charge, the first wave of the swarm attack directly broke down the fortress defenses in the canyon. The fortress, which was originally planned to last for at least ten hours, didn't hold out for even three hours, and was disheartened by the inner ghosts.

And these things on the front line, neither the rear nor the fleet knew about it, because the familiar radio interference appeared again. The full-band jamming that had nearly failed their mission in Schill had reappeared on the battlefield, this time no longer because of the loss of the platform, but as if the entire surface of Charr was covered with a large net of full-band jamming. Once again, the fleet command lost contact with the ground forces.
