Chapter 459: The First Flame of War (3)
"That's the way it is. β
In the camp tent that had been set up, Zero told the important members of his team about the tasks assigned by his superiors. Su, Kaede, Berrien, Brown, Yeru, Haiwei, Leah. All the capable members of Team Zero are present, and the Brain screen on Zero's hand shows the geography of the Arc de Triomphe Bridge and the western end of the canyon. He gave Brown the brain, and he observed the terrain and set up a defensive plan as quickly as possible.
As for the information on some of the alien lives in the western city, which were also obtained by the others, these materials were collected by the Golden Battle Axe through the battle that lasted for half a year. It can be said that they are blood for information, so they are extremely precious.
There are a total of more than twenty races in this gathering, and in addition to the scattered races, there are three alien races worth noting. The three tribes are the Pellidon, the Paison, and the Arri. Among them, the Pelidon are like a combination of a wolf and an eagle, they have an upright werewolf body, two wings on their backs, can fly short and medium distances, and are natural airborne troops, while the Paison are like intelligent pythons, they are about 300 feet long on average, with rough skin and flesh, and liliang and defense are the crown of aliens; as for the Zuihou Yali, these guys are like demons from hell, lion-headed human bodies, shrouded in a layer of flames. They are born with fire elemental abilities, and they can use most of the low-level fire abilities, making them very headache-inducing ranged attackers.
The origin of the names of these three races is based on their appearance and the comparison with the monsters of myths and legends. The aliens evolved their intelligence from mutant beasts, and in a sense, they are not much different from those monsters in myths and legends.
"It looks like this mission is not easy. Scratching his head, Brown shifted the topographic map to the suburb between the canyon and the city, saying, "This will be a buffer between the city and the bridge, where we can build effective fortifications and even battle bunkers if conditions permit." It should be possible to slow down the pace of those monsters' attacks, well, the defense line should also be a little more fucking heavy, and Zuihou can split up when their group charges, and then annihilate it. β
"Wouldn't that be too passive? Hyvi tilted her head, reached out and snatched the brain from Brown, and then pulled the topographic map directly to the location of the city. Haiwei stretched out her hand and clicked on the screen and said, "If you want me to say, it's better to take the initiative." If they do as usual, then we will take the opportunity to tear down their nests and see who is faster. Anyway, we still have two legions on our side, the Golden Battle Ax and the Hammer of Doom, so we won't destroy the group. β
"Shall I say that you are naΓ―ve or innocent?" Brown sneered dryly as he touched his chin, "First of all, we don't have enough troops. I don't have enough manpower to defend this point, and you still have to take the initiative? Secondly, let you take the initiative. Miss, do you know how big this city is? What are the areas occupied by foreign races? What is the distribution of troops? If you rush into it like this, I am afraid that if you go deep into the center of the city, you will be eaten by the opponent with numerical superiority. β
"I didn't say that I had to fight with them, and you don't look at how complicated the city's transportation network is, uncle. We can completely adopt guerrilla tactics to fight street battles with them, and confine the battlefield to a small space, so that we can make up for the difference in numbers to the greatest extent, right?"
"So a little girl like you who hasn't developed her breasts doesn't understand anything, will it work for you to apply human tactics to a group of monsters? Think about it, does the so-called street fighting make sense to these things that fly in the sky, crawl on the ground, and are as big as a train? Not to mention anything else, as long as there are three or two members of the Yali clan, Qingqing Songsong can turn your so-called street battle into a plain war, so you still insist on taking the initiative?"
"Hey, after all, I'm going to get angry if I attack her body or something!" Haiwei demonstrated with her pink fist, it seemed that she was still more concerned about her breasts.
"Alright, alright. Zero interrupted the-for-tat confrontation between the two: "Brown's approach is not wrong, but Haiwei's proposal is not impossible to consider." A general once said that pure defense is passive, and proper counterattack is the most haode defense. So I'd like to combine the opinions of Brown and Hevi to take harassing attacks on enemy cities while doing a good job of defense. At the moment, our defense will be more difficult, so we need to be more flexible tactically to divide these pressures. Brown, and Hevi, you two have a good idea of what to do. The others can disband, rest, recuperate, and we'll leave in the afternoon. β
Zero words fell, and suddenly a shrill siren sounded outside the tent. Everyone looked at each other, and they knew that something had happened. A few seconds later, Thor's solemn voice sounded over the communicator: "We have been raided, and a large number of aliens have suddenly poured into the west of the Arc de Triomphe Bridge, and they have seized the west side of the bridge and attacked along the bridge. The defenders of the Golden Tomahawk are currently fighting them, Zero, and I want you to go out and drive these monsters back for me. β
"Got it. Zero turned off the communicator and said to Brown, "Gather the soldiers, we have a job to do!"
Suddenly the battle broke out, and a large number of aliens from the west quickly seized the side of the bridge and attacked the human camp to the east along the bridge. The army of the Golden Tomahawks quickly counterattacked, but in order to protect the bridge, the dozens of high-velocity guns placed at the edge of the canyon were useless. The Golden Tomahawk was only able to send a large number of servants to enter through the roughly completed eastern bridge, and engaged in a fierce encounter with the alien army in the middle of the bridge.
As soon as Zero left the camp, he heard a loud gunfire coming from the direction of the bridge, accompanied by fire and smoke, and the violent explosion made people worry about whether it would cause irreparable damage to the main structure of the bridge.
Outside the barracks, the soldiers of the golden tomahawks were leaving the barracks one after another. There were many people who did not know, and under the shouting command of the non-commissioned officer, the soldiers rushed in an orderly manner in the direction of the Triumphal Arch Bridge. But Zero knew that these were just the servants of the Golden Battle Axe, and the true core of the Tyre Legion Liliang was an ability with an average liliang around the fourth order. They are all dressed in golden armor and use alloy axes in hand-to-hand combat.
It is not difficult to find a person with Liliang's ability around the fourth order, and it is not impossible to incorporate a fourth-order warrior from the Thousand People Group. However, it is not so easy to unify weapons and tactics in order to maximize the group-style liliang in battle. It takes a long time to develop a tacit understanding between advance and retreat, and the Golden Tomahawk has no training ground in Asgardri, and the place where they train is often on the real battlefield.
This is an iron-blooded army that has come out of the battlefield, and although it is not as good as the Hammer of Doom in terms of the rank of the capable and the flexibility of its tactics, it is not much inferior in terms of combat power. On the battlefield, it is even better than the Hammer of Doom.
Even though he didn't see the regular warriors in the golden armor, he could feel the well-trained military qualities from these servants, which was a temperament that the loose members of the Hammer of Doom could not condense.
Behind him, Brown was trotting in with three hundred of his own soldiers. James and Starley's team also appeared, and before Zero could say hello to them, the two had already led the team straight to the front. Zero could only shake his head and tell Brown to lead the soldiers to get up, and he beckoned the other capable people to rush to the Arc de Triomphe Bridge first.
The battle is raging on the Arc de Triomphe Bridge, and this time the aliens are attacking a baboon-like monster. But unlike the baboons of the old days, these aliens have no hair, four eyes, a nose, and dense bone spurs on their backs, like a hedgehog. They are fast and agile. Even if the main body of the Arc de Triomphe Bridge is only laid in the middle section, and the west side of the bridge is only a skeleton.
But these monsters nimbly climb on the skeleton of the bridge, they will cling to the relatively fragile parts, and then the blood boils all over the body, and every cell is burning. These aliens are completely burning with their own lives, bursting out of decades or more of life essence in an instant in exchange for terrifying biological energy.
When the energy reaches a certain critical point, the monster's body will bloom with a bright red blood-red flame, and then explode into a cloud of blood. The Blood Cloud is quite explosive, and its impact is no less powerful than being directly hit by a heavy artillery. The shock wave released by the explosion caused a certain degree of damage to the structure of the bridge, and the threat of two or three blood clouds may be limited, but under the successive attacks, even the main structure of the bridge with titanium alloy cannot withstand such damage.
Fortunately, after the alien raid, the defenders of the Golden Tomahawk on the bridge quickly counterattacked. They occupy the middle of the bridge, and use dense fire coverage to force these monsters only back, or simply knock down the bridge. Under the bridge is the Shadow Canyon shrouded in darkness, no matter how strong the vitality of these alien races is, they will be smashed into flesh if they fall so directly.
But instead of stopping their attacks, they became more frenzied. While some of these monsters wreak havoc on the bridge's structure, others quickly approach the human defenders through the bridge. After approaching the distance between the two sides, the monsters will pounce wildly. Their attacks are monotonous but insane, tearing with their claws, biting with their teeth, and using their flesh and blood against the modern firearms of the human defenses.
It's a fierce battle, with lives falling every minute. The flowers of flesh and blood bloom one after another in the middle of the bridge, some of them are of different races and some are human. Two different races, at this moment, their blood is entangled, indistinguishable from each other.
In addition to burning lives and detonating themselves like biobombs, monsters have another way to attack. They tend to curl up after pounce in the crowd. Hundreds of bone spurs on the back will bounce around, and the penetration of bone spurs is limited, but there are many of them. From time to time, unlucky soldiers pierced bone spurs directly through relatively weak places such as throats or eyes, and all of them died.
And even if it is only pierced in a non-lethal part such as a thigh or arm, it will be torn to pieces by the monster due to distraction.
When Zero arrives on the bridge with the other abilities, all he sees is a bloody killing scene. The others were fine, Leah had never seen such a scene, and her face turned pale. The smell of blood rushing to her face, as well as the blood and internal organs splashing on the bridge deck, made her feel vomited.
But before Zero and the others, James and Starley, who had already arrived first, had already entered the battle.
James transforms into a scythe demon, his whole body covered in special crystal armor, and round energy crystals embedded in his chest and forehead. In James's hand, a hideous pitch-black scythe was flying, and the grip of the scythe could be broken down as needed, making it possible for James to swing the scythe far and near.
There is a faint layer of energy on James's scythe, which makes the scythe extremely sharp. Many times, James swung his sickle, and several aliens were not unusual at first, and were even able to move freely for 1 to 2 seconds. But at this point, one or more flat cuts will appear on their bodies, and then they will turn into a ground of minced flesh.
And just like that, James swung his scythe and slaughtered quietly and gracefully. Under his scythe, there was no monster that could last more than 3 seconds.
In contrast to James's quiet killing, Staley did a vigorous job.
This martial artist, who has been promoted by a fighting master, brings out the fighting concept of the body as a weapon to the fullest. Staley's entire body is wrapped in ornate energy armor, which is the light armor that appears when Kazusu unleashes his destructive stance. It's just that the martial artist's energy armor is more focused on defense, and no matter how the monster tears it with its claws, or shoots bone spurs, or even uses self-detonation, it can't hurt Stali in the slightest.
And under the protection of energy armor, Staley is unafraid to kill the enemy group. His punches and legs were infused with terrifying liliang, and each attack was more than 10 tons of huge force under the punch and kick attack, not to mention the monster hit head-on. Even if it's just rubbed, it's the end of a split fracture. Staley was like a meat grinder, leaving only deformed and twisted corpses everywhere he went.
After these two high-level abilities joined, the situation suddenly reversed. The aliens were constantly being forced back, which gave the human defenders a lot of confidence. They cooperated with the actions of James and the others, using powerful firepower to suppress the monster's attack. It would have been unthinkable in the old days to turn the tide of the battle with just two people, but it was only natural in these turbulent times.
The emergence of ability has led to the emergence of two different groups of people in human beings: ordinary people and capable people. Although the base of the former is hundreds of times or more than that of the latter, the irony is that it is the capable people who occupy the top of the pyramid today with a relatively small base. Higher-level abilities, on the other hand, firmly occupy the top of the food chain, and the strength of an individual may not be clearly reflected below the eighth order. But once the ability breaks through to the eighth order, it will bring about a qualitative change.
Just like the two James at this moment, in front of Liliang, who has an eighth-order, the number of low-level creatures is only a set of numbers. In the face of two eighth-order powerhouses, these alien races who looked like baboons could only be slaughtered.
The Eighth Order is a watershed! Looking at the killing on the west side of the bridge, Zero couldn't help but think of Thor's words.
