Chapter 9: Simple Decisions

A thousand ancient machines, named the Killing Sentinels, marched out of the mine.

In the same way that the machines test the warlord's DNA every time they wake up, the warlord now gives the killing sentinels the same order to kill each time they wake up.

The order is simple, and that is to kill all the invaders.

The Kill Sentinels first escalated the order to the United Mining Company, which owned their assets, but the company apparently no longer existed, and after ten minutes of no response, they automatically lowered their supreme authority to the operator, so orders that had nothing to do with mining were immediately complied with.

The Killing Sentinels surged out of their territory, flanking them on the sides of the Ironclad Warriors in the path they had traveled or were about to take.

In the eyes of the people, these divine soldiers are the servants of their rulers, and these servants are mysterious, and they require the blood of mortals as a tribute for every sortie, which gives them a strong layer of mysticism.

Even these divine soldiers represent the divine destiny of the warlord who rules them, and every Terra deserves to bow down at the feet of this true overlord - at least that's what the warlord propagandizes to the people in his territory.

"There is no need to use orbital weapons, although we had the capability of orbital strikes the day before yesterday."

"These killing sentinels are tough to deal with."

"Indeed, we ......"

The huge beam encompassed the entire army in an instant, but the energy shield withstood the bombardment of the beam, and it did not just block it with a shield-like principle, but absorbed the energy of the beam itself to strengthen the shield.

Why do such simple things have to be done by the military? The Lord of Flame and Thunder just for the pleasure of watching from the sidelines?

He has only one motive.

As a player's ground troops, all you need to do is play the right cards against the enemy, and it's very simple to keep the water out of the way.

"Are we ...... Is it better to destroy them with orbital weapons? ”

Under the awe-inspiring gaze of everyone in the territory, the Kill Sentinels headed to the spot where they had scanned hostile armed targets.

"That's the status quo on Terra." Qin Mo glanced at Nagase Jian, "On other planets, our current level of force is enough to conquer a fortress, but on Terra, we have fought back and forth with the black technology in the hands of a warlord. ”

The physical environment on which the beam depended was distorted by psionic energy, and it landed vertically above the heads of the soldiers of the Lord of Flame and Thunder.

Qin Mo hadn't conducted a detailed experiment on the energy shield he had created in a hurry, but he estimated it...... If nothing else, the stronger the energy attack, the stronger the shield.

Among the most recent members of the fort are the fugitives from the warlord's territory, who serve as advisors to the fugitives.

The advisor looked at Qin Mo in surprise, he thought about it, and suddenly realized that this was actually a process similar to playing cards.

But Nagase stood with his arms crossed over his chest, not even looking at his advisor, obviously not wanting to deal with him.

Just like the ancient legacy of the warlords of Terra, his army now has powerful enough weaponry that may not be understood by humans.

These soldiers have been cramming for knowledge of the weapons and equipment they use in a very short period of time, and they must then know what to use and when.

In the internal council hall of the mobile fortress, Qin Mo and everyone watched the hologram that directly showed the situation in various parts of the battlefield.

"The ground forces also have weapons that are powerful enough to destroy these mining robots." Qin Mo took the initiative to speak, "All they need to do is to make the right decision at this time, the right decision on what weapon to use to destroy the strong enemy in front of them, it's as simple as that." ”

But it works well.

……

As someone who knows exactly what a war machine called a sentry of killing is, coupled with the recent security of life in a mobile fortress and the predictable certainty of a stable future, the advisor can't help but have the courage to ask the many officers and Flame Thunder Lord in the present.

The miniature missiles burst above the heads of the killing sentinels, and the mining machines were permanently stripped from real space along with the barren ground beneath their feet, with only the smooth circular pits on the ground proving their existence.

Various counterattacks then descended on the killing sentinels.

Qin Mo didn't know what was going on in the advisor's head, he stared at the image, expecting the army he sent out to make the right decision.

The atmosphere in the council chamber was much lighter because the soldiers had made the right choice.

Compared to the previous earth-shattering bombardment, this attack was like a small fight, just a miniature missile with a special warhead was launched.

Their every move is monitored by satellites in low Earth orbit.

The trajectory of these beams is not a straight line, but a curve that is curved enough to land on top of the target's head, which is clearly unreasonable, but the skillful use of psionic energy has caused this phenomenon.

"Good." Qin Mo nodded with satisfaction, "I have designed a lot of weapons and equipment for them, there are more than a dozen warheads of micro missiles alone, they should learn to use different weapons and equipment according to the situation like this." ”

"If we just want to eliminate this warlord and his miner robots, the easiest way is not to strike in orbit, but to go out in the next second and come back in the second second, and then those robots will be melted into molten iron."

It's as simple as that.

Then there was a round of fire from the infantry squad of the combat machinery responsible for fire support, and the sky was flooded with miniature missiles that turned over the area where the sentries were killed, but again to no avail.

A round of energy beams was fireless, useless, and the shells of the killing sentinels only melted slightly, they were designed with the most extreme operating environments in mind, and the heat and electromagnetic interference caused by energy weapons were useless.

And then he didn't understand it even more.

Qin Mo directly rejected the consultant's suggestion.

Nagase Ken nodded helplessly: "Our time is still too short." ”

Halfway through Qin Mo's words, an officer on the front line ordered the fire support combat machinery to launch a special warhead.

Seeing that this Lord of Flame and Thunder was so entrusted, the advisor looked at Nagase Ken on the side in shock, hoping that this person could help persuade him, at least so that the Lord of Flame and Thunder could slightly realize that it was not a good idea at all to hand over those killing sentries to the ground troops to solve.

A round of artillery bombardment, useless, the killing sentinels did not even scratch the shell.

In the first round of encounters, separated by tens of kilometers, the warriors of the Lord of Flame and Thunder fended off the attack with their shields.

Qin Mo watched and waited.

The killing sentries raised their arms thirty kilometers away, their movements in unison.

The engineering parts on the arms that are used to blast a tunnel directly in the hard geological environment are aimed at the front, and the intelligent units of these mining robots, which are not very good at combat, can handle combat-related things just as quickly, and the enemy dozens of kilometers away is locked by the detection wave, and the next second a thousand beams are shot forward.

"You can watch the battle against the warlord's territory next." Qin Mo gave an order to Nagase Jian, and then looked at an old man in the corner of the council hall who had been silent from beginning to end, "I have to talk to another messenger of the Lord of Thunder." ”

The old man in the corner, that is, Makado, saluted neither humbly nor arrogantly after hearing Qin Mo's words, and then followed Qin Mo out of the chamber.
