"Tsk. It's actually here!" Looking at the meteor shower that was falling to the ground, Yu Lian couldn't help but let out a sigh.
With his current eyesight, he could certainly see that those were not meteorites falling from the sky, but orbital drop capsules that were breaking through the atmosphere at extremely high speeds.
However, although the momentum of hundreds of meteorites falling at the same time is huge, it is still lacking in the eyes of experts. According to the parameters of the "LC3 Poison Dart Frog" orbital drop capsule currently equipped by the empire, at most it can
Lowered four hundred military power mechas at once.
Think about the Seventh Galactic War. Not only was it a bloody battle between the two major powers, but it was also a battle for the planet between some second- and third-tier countries. When it landed, it was not an overwhelming scene like a catastrophe.
.If there were less than 100,000 people when the first wave landed, I would be embarrassed to say hello to anyone.
Four hundred mechas, to put it bluntly, are just four hundred people. What are they enough for? Don’t forget, what they have to face is a full armored grenadier division with 12,000 people operating a position for a week.
of.
Yu Lian felt that Marshal Este was far from the stage of dementia. Although the imperial soldiers who were deeply educated in militarism were happy to hear the war, their officers never lacked brains. Then there is
There is only one explanation...the ones on those landing modules must be heraldic machines.
Yes, it would be a suicide attempt for hundreds of ordinary soldiers to attack the defense line of an organized garrison, but if all these hundreds of soldiers were extraordinary, it would be another matter.
Four hundred astral knights? No, even if there are only two or three hundred people, that should be more than half of the blue side's extraordinary power. They really used it on this remote planet!
As for why a relatively fragile landing cabin is used instead of a faster assault landing ship with a thicker bow and a drill and a disintegration stance, it is obviously because it has other uses! It is obviously to prepare for the next step.
The battle of the surprise attack on the Lion's Den Fortress is worth it.
Once he figured this out, Yu Lian couldn't help but spit: "Damn it, wasn't it all what I said?"
"Yes, you are indeed right! Junior brother is so fascinated by the enemy!" Tantai Jing just started to praise, and then he discovered something was wrong: "Uh, why do you feel that you are more surprised than me?"
"This is because I didn't expect them to land directly in orbit!" Yu Lian quickly forced out a smile and explained bravely: "Didn't General Kebed's 12th Division take over all deep space exploration in low-Earth orbit?
Is it a device? Didn’t you discover it in advance? This is being ridiculed!"
Yu Lian knew that Brigadier General Kebede's 12th Garrison Division not only took over all the orbiting detection instruments on the Sarna planet, but also activated the automatic orbital defense artillery arrays that had not been activated for a century. If
If the blue team's landing fleet really arrives, it will be hit by fierce artillery fire before it reaches an altitude where orbital airdrop can be carried out.
Although the Astral Knights wearing heraldic machines are capable of carrying a sword, they are most vulnerable when they are in the landing bay or assault landing ship. Even
Those elite knights with a third ring or above who can ride a thousand horses will die without a burial place if they are hit by an energy shell or missile directed at a battleship in outer space. Even if they are wrapped in a layer of heraldic machines, it is impossible
Let their lives last for a while.
Therefore, according to Yu Lian's original thinking, even if the Knights wanted to launch an airborne strike on the Sarna planet, they should have the warships clear the outer space defense artillery array in low-Earth orbit, and then conduct several rounds of orbital bombing
, then the airborne landing will take place.
But in this way, the artillery battle that occurs first in outer space will inevitably attract the attention of the defenders on the ground, and there will be no surprise in the attack.
"Perhaps the blue side has adopted some special skills to bully the enemy?" Tantai Jing said with a smile: "After all, they are all young elites of the Astral Knights, and they cannot all be addicted to brute force. You and them
Having fought against each other, I should feel better."
"Indeed." Yu Lian nodded, thinking that I had not only fought with them, but also fought with them as adults in the future. If others don't tell me, at least Viscount Shameen is by no means a reckless man who prides himself on his strength. Although he himself
He indeed has the most outstanding talent for martial arts among the younger generation of the empire, but he has never been addicted to martial arts. This young genius who has attracted much attention in the Galaxy Empire is actually a young, old-fashioned, and naturally cautious type. From the God of War Festival, he
This is evident in his behavior of always avoiding fighting.
In the future, it will evolve into an old coin that can use off-board moves but never does them.
If you think about it carefully, if Shamaine leads the fleet, Yu Lian will not be surprised if he disguises the fleet as a garbage ship and then suddenly cuts into low-Earth orbit.
Of course, Brigadier General Kebede is worthy of being one of the famous generals who will leave a great reputation in the future. Since he has such a comment as "a super first-class division commander", his training and command of his subordinates are naturally very strong.
Less than thirty seconds after the piercing siren sounded, almost all the soldiers had already entered their respective positions. They were clearly renovating the fortifications an hour ago, but they almost seamlessly switched to combat status. The Empire
Yu Lian was truly impressed by the quality of the army's panzer grenadiers.
Intensive anti-aircraft fire began to fire towards Chuan. Of course, the energy output of these weapons had been adjusted to the exercise mode, and they did not have much lethality against military armor, but at least the sound and light effects could still be guaranteed. So Yu Lian and
The senior brothers could see dense beams of light rising from the ground and striking the "shooting stars" in the sky, like raindrops of light. At that moment, the world seemed to be upside down.
There is an even more spectacular scene. The torrent of energy turns into ions, as if the earth is shaking its fist and hitting the sky.
Yu Lian knew that it was an anti-aircraft gun used to attack low-Earth orbit. Obviously, they had discovered the location of the opponent's warship.
And almost at the same moment, the metal building, which was more than 300 meters high and looked like a TV station, seemed to turn into a huge bracket, spreading a shield like ripples of light on the ceiling.
It looks like a huge light umbrella.
That is a planetary shield, which can cover an area of a metropolis. Of course, it is to prevent the enemy from carrying out orbital bombing.
Yu Lian thought, if it were him, he would not throw out the landing module as soon as he entered low-Earth orbit. Instead, he would have fired dozens of neutron bombs to observe the situation. How could he open up the planet's shield to the enemy?
What about shield time?
Of course, he was just thinking about it casually. You know, the position of the 12th Garrison Division is next to Crystal City, which has a population of 500,000. If civilians are really affected, it might affect the final outcome of the exercise.
Rated.
In addition, since the purpose of the Blue Knights is to seize the rare strategic resources in the military controlled warehouse on the outskirts of Crystal City, they do not dare to carry out orbital bombing rashly.
In short, we have to see the results of their surprise attack.
Yu Lian observed the trajectory of the landing craft and quickly determined that most of them would land right in front of the 12th Division's defense area, that is, in the wilderness between Crystal City and the abandoned factory area on the outskirts.
He couldn't help but frowned. He didn't think this was a smart judgment. If it were him, he would have chosen the position of the 12th Division for the airborne landing. Although it was inevitable that he would suffer more violent attacks during the landing.
A strike would entail considerable losses, but since they all chose a direct airborne surprise attack, time should be their top priority.
The position of the 12th Division happened to be located next to the warehouse area.
Of course, it is not possible to just sit in a space capsule and smash it into the warehouse. The military supplies there also include a considerable amount of explosive dust, which is a very unstable chemical additive. If you accidentally wipe out a little
Mars, then everyone can enjoy a magnificent mushroom cloud up close.
Therefore, the position closest to their target in a straight line is the position of the 12th Division.
Moreover, even if you directly parachute into a position, you will be subject to concentrated fire, but once you land successfully, it will be worth it. In any case, extraordinary people are definitely better at disrupting chaos than ordinary people. With the abilities of the Astral Knights, and the depth of the empire,
With the performance of the red-type heraldic machine, and using the four-image tactic to kill each squadron as a combat unit, it might be possible to completely defeat the 12th Division in less than an hour.
So, is there something that distorts their judgment and forces them to make such a judgment?
Yu Lian's eyes passed through the translucent light curtain, looking at the busy enemy positions, and nodded thoughtfully.
"Does the domain developed by Count Seliola have the function of a spiritual bait?" Yu Lian asked.
The so-called spiritual bait, to put it bluntly, is to use the bonus of a large-scale spiritual energy array to create false spiritual energy fluctuations in a field to interfere with the enemy's judgment.
"I'm not sure, but I guess there should be." Looking at Yu Lian's expression, Tantai Jing was very pleased and said with a smile: "You said it yourself, the goal of those young knights is to seize the rare treasures in the military warehouse.
Military supplies, rather than annihilating the Twelfth Division. There should be some zero elements there, right? Then just simulate a similar psychic field. If the Knights feel that the Twelfth Division has transferred important supplies from the suburban warehouse area to the city
area, so of course we can only launch a direct attack on their frontal defense area."
This possibility is very high. The future pillars of the mighty Knights of the Star Realm cannot sit on landing crafts and destroy the houses of ordinary people in Crystal City, right? Although they do not know the reality of the world, and so far, the Knights of the Blue Army have
I'm afraid I don't know that Count Seliola has arrived in Sarna, so it's hard to think that it is a scam.
"I have said before, little junior brother, it is definitely more meaningful to see how a psychic master called a saint leads an army of ordinary people than to watch the battles of the psychics themselves."
Yu Lian agreed with the other party's opinion. However, the eldest brother, the second generation leader of the Spiritual Research Association, has been emphasizing the abilities of "mortals" here, which makes Yu Lian feel quite familiar.
"Major Poppas must have different opinions. He chose to come here just to witness the practical value of the so-called four-image tactic." Yu Liandao.
Major Poppas has followed General Griffith and the others into the ruins and has not returned yet. If he misses this scene, he will probably regret it for the rest of his life. Yu Lian decided to send him a message first, and then bring him some food from the canteen.
Steamed buns, milk, eggs, etc., waiting for him to come back.
Tantai Jingdao: "Isn't this a tactic you developed? Aren't you interested?"
Yu Lian really wanted to be interested, but after all, this was a tactic that had been proven in actual combat. He already knew what kind of effect it could achieve and what kind of power it could exert.
In comparison, he was more concerned about how far the elite 12th Division could compete with the Knights due to Count Seriora's domain bonus.
Speaking of which, it is indeed a pity that General Griffith is not here. Although this commander of the Iron Army Complex is a cultural person and a robot nerd, after all, he has lived for such a long time and has experience in commanding large armies.
, he is still very insightful. If you can have a live discussion with him, you will definitely gain a lot, right?
However, the Pallarian general still took it for granted that he was here for archeology, and that his status as a military observation group was just a side job.
...Well, speaking of it, the position of the Twelfth Division, the observation post in Crystal City, and the ruins of the coordination robot factory are exactly in the shape of a triangle. The wilderness in the center is the main landing place for the Knights.
I hope the battle here will not affect General Griffith and his team's archaeological work.
At this time, the barrage launched into the sky had already bloomed with thousands of rays of light in the "meteor shower" that was getting closer and closer to the ground, illuminating the sky for hundreds of miles.
According to the exercise settings, several landing pods should have been destroyed, along with the heraldic aircraft inside.
Haha, it would be very interesting if Shameen's ship was shot down. From ancient times to the present, in gang jumping or landing battles, death is not the pinnacle showdown between heroes that will go down in history, but
There are as many strong men as there are who die in frustration under defensive artillery fire. This can be regarded as a kind of memorial to the strong men of the past.
While Yu Lian was thinking wildly, he returned to the restaurant and found that the chefs were also in shock. He took a bunch of food by himself. After thinking about it, he also took away some snacks that could be played with.
Then he and his senior brother returned to the observation post.
When they entered the door, there were already several landing pods on the ground, and more than twenty Astral Knights were already arranged in a tactical unit of four people, starting to move forward while avoiding enemy attacks.
At this time, in the holographic image fed back by the on-site camera, a newly landed landing module caused smoke and sand to rise ten meters high on the ground. Immediately afterwards, four silver-painted heraldic machines emerged from the smoke and dust.
Jumped out.
The first one also had the Knights' emblem outlined in gold.
It has a three-barreled blaster machine cannon on its left arm, and its right hand wields a snake-shaped "whip". The metal whip swam past him like a dragon, clanging and clanging.
All the cannonballs that hit him bounced back.
The rebounded artillery shells landed directly on the 12th Division's position, splashing red smoke and dust. Those soldiers within the smoke and dust range should be judged as "killed" by the exercise director.
No, several of the artillery positions where they were located also stopped firing, and peacocks suddenly appeared on the frontal battlefield.
The "whip" of the heraldry machine shrank back again, and turned into a long sword in his hand.
He pointed his sword at the 12th Division position in front of him and began to charge. However, before taking a step, he accidentally looked at the direction of the camera.
At that moment, Yu Lian felt that he seemed to have passed through the unmanned camera and had a brief look at the other party. He was now 90% sure that the person in the heraldic machine must be Viscount Shameen. This
The guy's best weapon is this snake sword that can switch between a long whip and a double-edged sword.
Moreover, although this guy is a cautious type, he knows when to lead the charge when necessary.
Hey, isn’t this more exciting than the God of War Festival? You should really take Feifei to watch it together!
