Chapter 799 Spiritual War 2
[Thank you for the monthly ticket support of wizardhx and Shen Yi! New book friends, thank you for your support!!]
The distant horizon was originally occupied by blood-like skylight, forming a red light belt. Soon, some black spots appeared in the red light belt, and the black dots quickly continued into pieces, finally forming a rolling wave. The black tide is composed of countless black insects. These strange insects are three meters long, with a thin head and tail and round in the middle. The whole body is covered with a crystal-like shell, with a row of thin insect claws stretched out from each side, and the insect claws slide quickly, making the strange insects move quickly like a land chariot.
They are assault insects, which were widely used by Jinro Hughes in the war of the Fourth Age. These alien insects have strong power and can quickly impact defensive positions. However, the defense and attack power are very low, and they are cannon fodder-type arms. However, there are a large number of charging insects. Just by the wave of insects coming from the horizon, the forward has reached the order of magnitude of nearly a million, and as for the latter, I don't know how many. Looking at the horizon alone is chilling enough.
When you look at it, it is densely full of storm worms. The first flood peak they formed, I don't know how many kilometers wide, came crazily. The ground seemed to be covered with a black curtain and quickly approached the war fortress.
Under the control of Agradis, the commander of the army issued orders one by one, so all the soldiers mobilized and entered their own battle area one by one. However, the alien soldiers and many strong men are still unmoved, as if it is not their turn to play.
The charge worm formed Daohongfeng's direct war fortress. At this time, some particularly huge figures appeared on the horizon. First of all, some strange beasts with bodies like big meat sacs have a head like a giant turtle, but it is covered with lines and hexagonal crystals. Four short but thick legs supported the huge body and moved at a slow speed.
These foreign beasts are only a hundred, and the number is pitifully small, but the energy from their bodies is more than half of all the rushing insects. They are producers, a unit that has no combat effectiveness but can extract planetary resources to convert them into the energy crystals needed by the Proseus army. The producer began to stop, lay on the ground, grow fluttering meat whiskers from their short legs and head, and then plunged into the ground one by one. They began to extract the energy of the planet, and the meat drawer-like bodies began to light up and discharge glowing crystals from the tail of the warehouse.
There are also some huge alien animal units coming from the horizon. They have a human-like upper body, and the lower body is a huge multi-section insect body, with six dark and thick arthropods, which are deeply nailed into the ground. Before moving forward ten meters step by step, the upper body of the humanoid has obvious characteristics of human women, without hands, and has many tentacles full of suction cups.
They are queens, and queens are a kind of production unit. These giant units come behind the producer and send the energy crystals produced by the producer into a huge mouth at the chest with tentacles. After a certain amount of energy crystals were swallowed, the tail of the queen's body began to ovulate. They can excrete thousands of eggs at a time, and the interval of ovulation depends on the order of the production unit.
Now the Queen produces a middle-level arms, which is a reaper with excellent mobility and fast attack ability. Their disadvantage is that their defense is weak, which is better than being able to mass produce. Hundreds of queens can produce 100,000 eggs at a time. The production interval of the reapers is 10 minutes, that is to say, 600,000 harvesters will appear in an hour.
Assuming that there is no time limit, tens of millions of troops will be formed in one day. Of course, the queen will not only produce harvesters. Although this is an intermediate combat unit, like the assault worm, they are still cannon fodder-like consumables for Proxius. Priority production can form an excellent number of battle units in a short time, just to provide production time for subsequent advanced and even top battle units.
When the queen ovulated for the second time, the first eggs began to hatch, and a young reaper cub shaped like a scorpion but with two pairs of sickle-like limbs came out. These larvae use their sickle joints to chop the eggshell and then devour it. In the process of devouring, the body continues to expand, and then the shell breaks and crawls out of the adult reaper.
Adult reapers are not even big as stormworms. They are only one meter long and have six black claws. Their knot-shaped bodies are embedded with three hexagonal crystals, which are the source of power for the harvester. As soon as they broke out of the shell, hundreds of thousands of harvesters quickly threw themselves into the battlefield and followed the charging insects.
At this time, the forward of the Charge Bug was less than one kilometer away from the war fortress. The huge war machine of the fortress began to start, and the missile launch platform took the lead in attacking. After simple positioning, the missiles dragged the fire to the air, swept the parabola on the bloody sky, and then fell into the tide of insects.
Only the first wave of attack launched thousands of missiles!
The fireball explodes in the tide of insects, and every time it appears, it will leave a huge blank on this black curtain. But these blanks will soon be filled by the backworms.
In the command building in the fortress, the combat staff entered commands one after another to the intelligent brain in front of them, thus sending the orders of the command to each command node. These commands must not make a mistake, otherwise they will cause unnecessary losses. Under the deployment of the headquarters, some soldiers broke away from the square phalanx, but more soldiers were still ready to go.
The missile strike is still continuing. This is the third wave of offensive, and thousands of missiles are thrown into the worm tide. With the explosion of flames and shock waves, the color of the worm tide is obviously much lighter than before. But the front of the charge bug has approached the fortress of war. The previous million forwards have been reduced by more than half under the continuous missile coverage and bombing, but the number is still daunting.
As soon as it approached the war fortress, the assault worm, which served as the forward, suddenly only bounced from the ground, and then the body joints stretched, and the limbs grew violently. Purple insect worm thorns emerged from the gap of the open body joints, and immediately armed the insects that were originally like chariots to the teeth. These worm thorns can be fired. After shooting, the shell will burst and toxic insect liquid will be splashed inside. At the same time, it can also be used to drill the enemy in close combat, which is an attack method that can be flexibly used by assault insects.
Now, the alien insect like a giant scorpion is the true form of the storm worm.
At this time, thousands of heavy artillery turrets on the fortress began to fight, and the dull heavy artillery fell one by one, and the roaring shells fell all over the sky, blowing out a bright fire belt on the battlefield. The storm bugs were blown off piece by piece, their fragile shells could not reach the bombardment of heavy artillery at all, and countless bugs were blown into a pile of meat mud, but this could not stop the determination of the bugs to attack. Therefore, the subsequent storm bugs kept crossing the fire belt, and then the second and third fire belts lit up on the battlefield.
The appearance of each fire belt means that tens of thousands of charge insects have been blown up, but the fire belt is gradually shrinking. When it shrank to a distance of only 300 meters, the fire belt no longer retreated, but firmly bombed, constantly digging up the insects and the earth. It is only more than 200 meters from the first fire belt to the last fire belt. But it was this distance that cut off nearly 100,000 troops of the storm worm.
The battlefield has become a meat grinder.
After the heavy artillery, the unique sound of anti-aircraft guns and rotary turbine guns sounded in the fortress. Arranged in the tens of thousands of shooting holes of the high wall in front of the fortress, the two powerful guns exert their power at the same time. The visible bright line of fire immediately penetrated the battlefield, and the smell of gunpowder and blood mixed together to form the unique smell of the battlefield. Nearly 100 flamethrowers on the high defensive wall worked at the same time. Under the operation of the soldiers, fire dragons sprayed down the wall and swept over the assault insects. Immediately, the shell burst, and the worm caught fire all over and turned into fireballs.
At this time, the previous contact between Agradis and Procius was in full swing. The war spread over thousands of square kilometers of battlefield, and explosive fire and splashing flesh and blood could be seen in almost every corner. At this time, as an attacking party, the assault worm has almost left nearly one million bodies, and the casualties on the fortress side are almost negligible.
However, the number of storm worms is still so large that it is numbing, and after the tide of worms, three waves of reapers have joined the battlefield. Soon, the number of harvesters will catch up with the storm worms.
There have been storm worms that have begun to climb up the defensive wall, but on the wall, the dense fire points spilled a splash of bullets from the wall, beating the storm bugs attached to the wall into a sieve and shooting them down one by one. Every minute and second, you can see the body of the assault worm falling on the wall. From a distance, it looks like a rain of insects. But if it goes on like this, it's only a matter of time before the storm bug enters the fortress, so the command revised the order.
On the take-off floor, a team of light mechas lined up to take off, with hundreds of combat units as a team, and launched into the battlefield in a defensive formation. These mechas are similar to the griffin knights of the western continent, but they have been obviously improved. The mecha is half the size of the griffin knight, which allows them to load more weapons. For example, the previous pocket guided missile system has been replaced, and now the shoulder is loaded with a small missile, and the guide bin has also been expanded to improve the combat capability of the Griffin Knight.
The portable microcomputer has been replaced with a wrist armor combus fire machine gun, and the wrist armor machine gun magazine is equipped with standard bullets and a small part of *.
Finally, the chest armor part is loaded with a miniature reactor, which greatly improves the power of the old Griffin Knight and can emit pulsed light waves when needed, causing great damage. However, pulsed light waves will greatly consume the energy of the mecha, so the operator will not use it.
These second-generation griffin knights continue to rise. In a blink of an eye, there are nearly 10,000 griffin knights in the sky of the fortress, but the number continues to increase.
At the same time, on both sides of the fortress, warehouse doors opened one by one, and ground mecha drove out from inside. These ground mechas are obviously an improved model of the Paladin mecha. The original bipedal walking mode was replaced by the axle wheel sliding mode, and a row of axle wheels was added to the feet of the mecha, which greatly improved the shortcomings of the original lack of power. At the same time, the old-fashioned rotary cannon was removed and replaced with a double-tube automatic gun. The shoulder is a linked missile launch system, behind it is a lifting howitzer gun, and on the waist is a combination of high-frequency tomahawk components. When the ammunition is exhausted, the driver can still use the tomahawk for hand-to-hand combat.
The greatly improved paladins continue to come out of the mecha warehouse, forming a silver torrent, approaching the assault insects from both sides.
Whether it is an improved griffin knight or a paladin, it is not Agradis's imagination, but a technology that can be developed in a limited time according to the technology and development capabilities currently mastered by human beings, so that it is reproduced and put on the battlefield, and the combat unit obtained through digital modeling.
In other words, in time, if there is no accident, the two mechas in the western continent will be as they are now.
Once launched, the griffin knights formed a defensive formation and flew directly to the front of the assault insect army. As soon as they entered the battlefield, the shoulder armor of all the knights opened, and the scattered small missiles inside kept firing out. Suddenly, it was like rain and densely bombarded towards the insect tide below. A moment later, countless small fireballs appeared in the tide of insects, and the formation and bombing points of the Griffin Knights were carefully calculated to achieve maximum lethality.
After so many bombings, the tide of insects in front of the fortress was obviously cut down, forming a rare blank.
The paladins killed from both sides occupied this blank area and formed the first steel defense line. The Paladin's double-tube automatic artillery is fired at a speed of two rounds per second. The bullets of the artillery are enough to blow up a huge hole in the assault worm. A storm worm can kill with a few shots, and a few more shots will be completely smashed into pieces. Of course, the pilots will not waste so much. They attacked in an echelon under the order of the commander and bombarded the influx of insects.
After two rounds of bombing, the griffin knights in the sky basically used up the scattered missiles on their shoulders. Therefore, some of the mecha returned and loaded, while the other part cooperated with the ground troops to shoot with wrist armor machine guns, and occasionally changed to *, forming a wall of fire in the tide of insects. It's just that the wall of fire has not had much time to stop the tide of insects, and a moment later it was trampled out by the successive insects.
After these two mechas, when the blank area in front of the fortress was obtained, the key gate began to rise. First, all kinds of steel chariots were opened. In addition to the common artillery tanks and missile armored vehicles, there was also a brand-new combat unit. This combat unit is like an upgraded artillery tank, which also adopts a tracked power system, but the ordinary cannon is replaced by a double-tube cannon, but this double-tube cannon is only a spoke cannon. It is located on both sides of the chariot and has a separate combat platform, which requires soldiers to operate. The main gun is a 120mm plasma cannon, which was originally used on King Arthur, a round table knight, but now it is loaded on this brand-new chariot.
This chariot is called Thor, with strong fire support and is a complete war machine.
After the chariot, another batch of large combat units appeared. They are a combination of mecha and chariot. The upper body is a human-like design, and the waist is combined with a disk wheel and a tracked body. The new mecha with a height of nearly five meters can hold a high-temperature flamethrower and a large-capacity fuel tank behind it to ensure that they can fight for a long time.
A double-tube shotgun is hung on both sides of the fuel tank to ensure that the mecha can continue to fight when the fuel is exhausted. Even the lower locomotive is not only a decoration, but also an anti-aircraft machine gun in front and a small artillery platform on both sides can provide enough firepower.
The mecha called the destroyer needs three people for the operator alone. This is a mecha that requires multi-person control and belongs to a large combat unit like Thor. Along with the destroyers, there are also ordinary human soldiers, who are dressed in light tactical suits with certain defensive capabilities. The standard is equipped with new era high-energy drive rifles, which are faster and more powerful. In addition, there are composite daggers, high-explosive* and self-explosive devices that serve as the final means of combat.
When the main force of this fortress went to the battlefield, the storm bugs were immediately harvested, especially when big guys such as Thor and annihilators were put on the battlefield, they were simply small movable fortresses. As soon as Thor's plasma cannon is bombarded, it will clear a passage of nearly 200 meters and four or five meters wide in the insect tide, and the subsequent explosion will continue to dig a blank on the insect tide.
The destroyers are not inferior. The fuel produced by the improved formula can spray flames of up to 2,000 degrees. Not to mention the charging worm, even steel has to be melted into iron juice. The destroyers fought forward, the sprayer swept the fire dragon and swept towards the insects casually, and the charging insects fell piece by piece.
Coupled with the support of artillery tanks, missile charioters and other locomotives, the army of the fortress not only stopped the tide of insects, but also pushed towards the rear of the Proxius army. By this time, half of the storm worms had fallen, and millions of corpses were witnessing the tragedy of the war.
But at this time, the reaper of Proseus finally arrived.
These combat units, which are more flexible than the storm bugs, quickly avoid the firepower of the fortress army. If there is no law to avoid them, they will temporarily order the nearby storm bugs to serve as their meat shields. Once the distance is close, the reaper will attack brazenly.
The first line of defense against the Reaper was the Paladin, and the pilots in the mecha roared and hit these similar monsters. After the initial collision, it was a fierce tearing. The Paladin's double-bellied cannon can easily leave huge wounds on the reaper's body, but at the same time, the reaper's sharp sickle is enough to smash the paladin's mecha.
In terms of destructive power, the two are evenly matched. But the number of reapers is ten times that of the paladins, even above!
