Section 44: Viewing the Stage
The Empress failed - as expected.
It didn't rely on its physique to rush to the front lines, because that would only trample its offspring to pieces. At the same time, its oversized size is undoubtedly the most attractive target for firepower. And even if many mechanical measures are implanted in the body, in the face of the storm-like tide of steel, it can't be stopped.
Therefore, its decision is a mental impact - the reincarnators carry such a large number of servant armies as targets, so there is no reason why it should not use it. The Alien Empress's large-scale confusion slammed into all of the Wieland soldiers like a tidal wave, trying to modify their perceptions and make them turn their guns at every living creature beside them.
It failed, and it became Zhan Lan's whetstone.
Before the march reached the end, Zhan Lan was prompted. Before the reincarnation returned, the importance of the spiritual power had become the internal consensus of the Middle-earth team.
As the person who copied the answers, Jiang Yu would not forget Zhan Lan, who was originally incapable of brain control in the original Alien Four. By using mental power to amplify metal, the strength of mental power can be directly increased to the extent that it is enough to control two reverse seeds at the same time. And in a suitable scenario, she can naturally put forward a suitable proposal, and the remaining resources in Zhan Lan's hands are enough for her to complete this procurement.
She was reminded that she had used the Mental Power Amplification Metal - when the Alien Empress's Spiritual Power Impact arrived, it was the protection constructed by Zhan Lan, who had temporarily increased her mental power. The Hammer of Doom slammed into the Wall of Sighs, and the end result was a chaotic murmur erupting in the minds of all living creatures present, including the Samsara. Zhan Lan's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose were overflowing with blood, but the Alien Empress was unharmed.
There was no damage, but the strategic goal was not reached—it failed to break through the spiritual defense line built by Zhan Lan. It wastes this one-time-only, window of time for tactical maneuvers.
The human offensive has not been contained. And the next moment, Kasumi, who switched to turret mode, fired with the calibrated zero point. The rain of death poured down on the alien army.
…………………………
— as expected.
'Boom——!!! A wide range of anti-biological artillery fire erupted in front of Jiang Yu, and he was at the forefront, so the power of these anti-biological bombs was naturally vented to the last march of the aliens. Shrapnel designed to kill organisms easily tore through the modified alien siliceous armor, stabbing fragments into their shells, and their flesh turned gray in large swaths.
They let out a high-pitched scream - the xenomorph wouldn't have screamed unless it was necessary. But living things are living things after all, when pain beyond the upper limit of the nervous load stimulates the spinal cord and brain. Biochemistry will overcome all indestructible wills, and they will lose their pride in being top hunters.
- Pretending.
Jiang Yu thought that the power of the storm shield in his hand had been increased to the maximum. While blocking the alien attack, it also blocks all anti-biological shrapnel fragments that may splash behind. And with him as a frontal fortress, the tide of fire from the rear will not stop.
Straight lines, gun positions, charging hand-to-hand combat troops, strong barriers - what caught Jiang Yu's eyes was undoubtedly the old facts that had been proven countless times with the wreckage of flesh and blood after the invention of the Maxine machine gun and the barbed wire fence in the trenches. It's obviously the space age, but it uses the tactics of the early days of World War I and plays the corresponding attrition. And when the dotted line demon eye was triggered, and the alien empress who was originally going to rush desperately was blocked at the back of the battle line because of broken limbs, Jiang Yu's cognition appeared some irrelevant delusions.
He felt as if he wasn't here.
He felt as if he was on a World War I battlefield — a well-trained army with barbed wire and machine guns in place. And the vast number of old-fashioned cavalry rushed out of the battlefield planned by the new army on the other side of the line. The array is neat, and the knives and guns are shining. With a determination to die, he exposed himself and his comrades' bodies to the firing range of heavy machine guns.
The number of cavalry was fifty, if not a hundred, times greater than that of the new army. The cavalry were far superior to the Newcomers, and they were at the helm of their horses as if they were their own hands and feet - both sides knew that if the cavalry could break through the line, rush into the trenches, and swing their sabers at the heads of the machine gunners, what would happen would be a hearty victory, or a massacre.
But that didn't happen.
The dense net of fire crashed into the cavalry, even if it was equipped with heavy cuirass. These most elite fighters were also easily penetrated and fell. The artillery from behind the firing point opened fire one after another, and in the thunder, the flowering shells brought pieces of death. And even the most elite and luckiest champion riders. When they felt that they were only one step away from their goal, they and their horses crashed to their deaths on the seemingly fragile but impregnable barbed wire.
Jiang Yu is barbed wire. He was back on the battlefield. There are often pitfalls and mines in the vicinity of the barbed wire. And they were actually no different from the Thunderhammer in his hand.
'Boom-' The Thunderhammer swung, and the thunder of the molecular splitting field tore through the strongest armor. Whether it is a heavy silicon shell or an invisible biological force field, it can be easily torn apart. Because in addition to the molecular cracking force field, there are also directional waves of telekinetic force, and a series of bloody explosions.
An invert has died under the Thunderhammer - it has been bombarded with anti-biological bombs and weakened by vampiric balls before it dies. When the Thunder Hammer in Jiang Yu's hand smashed down, its absolute strength had been reduced to the level of a Praetorian Alien. And behind it, dozens of true Praetorian Xenomorphs were shattered into powder in the rain of pulsing bullets.
They can't rush – they can't get over the barbed wire. Even a few barely climbed the metal outer wall to get around, and what awaited them was the blazing axe light that sliced through the air, and the dark blue pulse cannon.
They're dying.
The Alien Empress, whose legs had been severed by Zero, fell to the ground, squeezing her huge upper body with her claws and struggling forward. Then, in the next second, more dense explosives and artillery fire fell on it. In front of it, there is still a solid 'barbed wire'.
By the time of World War I, tanks had already appeared on the battlefield.
The tank was able to easily flatten the barbed wire, but the soldiers quickly iterated on anti-tank piles. The tracks of the tank were stuck at the end of the front with the structure of a three-dimensional cross, and then naturally there were anti-tank mines, explosive packs, and even 'dung pullers' waiting for it.
The empress is a tank, a tank without a turret. And Jiang Yu is the anti-tank pile, using the storm shield to resist the empress's physical strength.
But the delusions reappeared. There are no tanks and no barbed wire. Jiang Yu knew he was fighting, but he felt like he was back in an even older generation. He felt like a gladiator in ancient Rome, raising his shield and sword to the cheers of the crowd, and a fierce lion appeared directly in front of him.
The male lion's claws are sharp, but the shield in his hand is strong. Therefore, victory or defeat is only in the first stroke of the confrontation.
'Bang-'The strongest blow is also the quickest.' The claw slammed into the gladiator's shield, and the force nearly threw the fighter flying, and the lion was able to calmly make up for it. Pierce through the sturdy shell and taste the fresh, unmasked flesh.
It didn't do it.
The heaviest blow failed to lift the shield, and the fighter played a solid skill in the lower handicap. And the lion, who was not able to achieve results because of this, naturally had to pay the price of the first strike.
A fighter's sword is as sharp as a shield. The swing of the sword slashed off one of the lion's front paws. The lion howls in pain, and in the midst of the wound, it tears at it with its body, its mouth, and its other claw.
But what's the use? The first blow of the most likely attack has been lost, and the remaining struggles are doomed to be in vain. The fighter only needs to calm his mind and launch a counterattack with support to slay the lion.
- Am I a fighter?
Jiang Yu asked himself.
- No, I'm not. I am a sword and a shield. And the fighters are the squad itself.
His own defenses are impregnable, even if he loses the duel with the Empress. It's nothing more than being beaten to the core. But the empress's claw blow could not break through her armor. Therefore, the 'flesh' that will really be threatened is the teammates behind you. Once she didn't have a shield and stabilized her posture, the empress could easily get past her and slaughter on a large scale.
- So, what am I confused about, what am I worried about?
The fight with the lion is still going on. However, around the gladiatorial arena, there was already a tsunami of cheering from the audience. Reality and fantasy are mapped together. While the fight to the death, the mind is still thinking.
Thinking about what? What to hesitate about?
The answer is not complicated, and it can even be called concise and clear. That's ...... Why is it a gladiatorial fight, why is it an arena? Why is it a machine-gun iron fence, why is it a cavalry that crashes into the barbed wire?
What is the most important reason why the cavalry will die on the barbed wire? Is it because the weapons of the new army are advanced? Is the machine gun reliable? No, because cavalry can only rush from the front of the battlefield. It's like an alien army, which can only squeeze through the end of the passage.
Fighter kills male lions, is this because the fighter's shield is good enough? Is the sword sharp enough? Is it skilled enough? No, the male lion will die. It is because it has fallen into the arena and can only face battles, and cannot rely on the familiar jungles and grasslands. It's like a battered alien empress who has no choice but to break through head-on.
So......
'Poof-' The fighter's sword stabbed into the lion's neck. Death had arrived, and there was thunder of joy in the arena.
And the fighter raised his eyes, in the midst of the cheering crowd. The presiding officer of the gladiatorial fight pushed the bridge of his nose, and his glasses flashed with a cold light.
All the vanity disappeared, and Jiang Yu returned to the real battlefield. The massive wreckage of the Alien Empress fell in front of her. Its massive crown was torn apart by its own hammer. The blazing blood that Zheng Zha poured into its body weakened its life force. And the fatal blow from Zero pierces the shattered crown of the head and tears the thinking brain.
- [Kill the Alien Empress, participate in all members, and obtain D-to-C side plots according to their contributions, as well as corresponding reward points.] 】
——[Reincarnation Jiang Yu, get a C-level side story, reward points 2000 points.] 】
Jiang Yu lifted the war hammer, and green blood slipped from the handle of the hammer. Wieland's soldiers cheered, just like the spectators in the arena.
C-level branches, unprecedented, so easy to obtain.
No need to be desperate, no need to take risks. Everyone just needs to do their duty, and the reward will fall into their hands.
- Chu Xuan.
In Jiang Yu's heart, an unreasonable thought emerged. As the beneficiary, he is not in a position to have such an idea.
But......
- You put things ...... It's too simplistic.
