Eight hundred and twelfth chapter offensive like tide
As a result, the three Marauder warships finally landed on the plains of the northern foot despite intensive artillery fire before the morning sun rose.
It must be admitted that although the style of these armed merchant ships has been modified by the Marauder, the quality of the vector engines they are equipped with is really good, and they can actually support this huge mass of one million tons, smoothly.
It landed. Immediately afterwards, the landing hatch at the stern of the ship opened, and the first thing to rush out was twenty ferocious war machines supported by five pairs of road wheels.
It is said that there are only five pairs, but each road wheel is nearly a person tall, so the turret supported on the chassis becomes a huge firepower projection platform with a rail gun, two ion cannons, two four
It has a combined Vulcan cannon, a low-altitude dual-purpose missile rack, and even a small deflection shield.
However, even with so much firepower crammed into it, this tank does not exceed four meters including the road wheels. It definitely utilizes the overall engineering to the extreme and can be called a genius design.
In fact, this multi-purpose chariot called the Son of the Silver Heart is the last work of a talented military engineer from the Eero Empire at the end of the Eero Empire. Its overall engineering concept has reached today’s standards hundreds of years later.
, are not considered outdated.
This kind of tank can use five pairs of road wheels when moving on the ground, and can use vector engines to glide short distances. When encountering changeable terrain, it can also extend eight hydraulic power legs to climb mountains and drill holes like a spider.
cannot.
More importantly, due to its relatively flat body shape, the frontal projection is not too obvious, and it will not become a target on the battlefield like the humanoid mecha that can easily reach more than ten meters. Even when dealing with large armors,
It can also play a role in gang-hopping battles.
In short, such a perfect weapon, even if it reaches the end of its life, you only need to rub the weapon, polish the armor, and sew the engine, and you will be an invincible hero on the battlefield!
The Marauder stormtroopers that everyone imagines may be just brainless greenskins wearing armor and carrying swords. In fact, they are indeed very reckless, but they are not brainless. If they have durable and powerful weapons, wouldn't they?
Will be reluctant to use it.
These twenty "Sons of the Silver Heart" have been tinkered with and improved many times, and now they are the F45 model... If they are used for a few more centuries, they should be infinitely close to the license plate numbers.
But even so, no one can deny the combat effectiveness of these big guys. These twenty tanks are much larger than ordinary land combat heavy tanks, but they are certainly not cumbersome when moving. The drivers have only improved slightly.
With a little engine power, the speed of the chariot quickly increased. It only took a dozen minutes to form a formation, and then it rained down a burst of artillery fire on the earthling firepower point closest to the landing point.
This position, equipped with at least four long-range ion cannons, immediately went silent.
Then, before the predators' motorized infantry could catch up, the tank took a triumphant step forward and began to advance toward Tulon, just like a group of African elephants showing off their power in the wilderness of the African continent.
At this time, the predator infantry also rushed over with shouts.
It must be admitted that compared to other troll warlords, Warlord Sazaka is indeed a very open-minded person. Only 60% of the marauder warriors who accompanied him on his mighty journey to the New Yumen Wilderness were Meshandar Giants.
Demons, and the rest of the races range from Laig giants, Torran tauren, Umbar lion-faced men, Wulfling werewolves to Nedia dragons.
Needless to say, all of them are strong warrior races, but they are all willing to fight with the Sazaka Warlord.
At this time, Sazaka's glasses have been replaced by an eye patch, and he is wearing a gorgeous helmet from the cold weapon era. The bulletproof and energy-proof armor on his body is also painted in gold, and he is wearing a scarlet cloak.
He carried the Gatling cannon on his shoulder, held a double-blade machete in his right hand, and pointed the knife in the direction of Tulon in the distance.
"Long live! Long live! Long live!" The soldiers roared wildly. The number of troops they gathered on the north side of Kililuo Mountain was less than 7,000, but the momentum they erupted was greater than that of the ten soldiers who had just broken through the mountain pass.
The remaining army of tens of thousands of sand people is much more terrifying.
Dr. Warren, who was still on the ship, looked at the mighty army of his own side through the screen, and at a glance he saw Warlord Sazaka standing on a small hill.
He didn't feel his blood was boiling, he just felt that his temporary boss should have lived in the Bronze Age, so that he would be able to become king with his bravery and natural performing personality.
Dr. Warren sighed: "Let's take off, return to the original route at low altitude, arrive south of the equator and then take off again."
He had already made up his mind to hide behind the red moon of Xinyumen when he returned to space. In this way, if the Earthlings' warships were really chasing after him, it would be more convenient to have a cover when escaping.
As for Warlord Sazaka...Hey, all this is his choice, of course I can only watch him embark on his tragic journey.
One thing to say is that the Marauder Legion was indeed very violent when they landed. In less than half an hour, they defeated two nearby Earth Army strongholds and completely razed those fortresses to the ground, finally giving the army a chance to advance.
direction.
However, they did not immediately charge like wild boars that had tasted the sweetness. Instead, they formed a company-wide formation on the spot, expanding the battlefield coverage to more than 20 kilometers.
After completing these actions, the army of sand people surged up like a tide, filling the gap between them.
By the time they launched their attack again, their attack method was very methodical.
"The Predators have been able to traverse the galaxy for thousands of years, and the two major overlords and the famous overlords and generals in the past have never been able to completely eliminate them. There is a reason. Why does our official propaganda describe them as bloodthirsty and brainless savages?
Simon Vayali, who was at the Tulon headquarters, was amazed when he looked at the enemy offensive map on the map that looked like a raging storm.
Akinayama Hachiman pushed up his glasses and said doubtfully: "It's not normal."
"Isn't it normal? Oh, you mean the morale of the sand army? Indeed, most of those guys are remnants of the Tulon Battle and various gangs. In the past, when I saw more than one squad of security teams patrolling outside, they would all be left alone.
And to escape, now he actually has such fighting spirit. Drugs? No, it is more likely to be from occult science." Simon said.
"Is there such a method?" Hachiman asked.
"As far as I know, there is indeed some... But if you have to brainwash hundreds of thousands of people, I'm afraid you have to get those mythical characters above the eighth ring. Moreover, the price/performance ratio is too low."
Hachiman nodded: "It's about the same as what I know."
Simon glanced at the other party sympathetically. Of course he knew that his comrade was actually a little obsessed with psychic powers. If nothing else, at least his theoretical knowledge was no weaker than that of most senior psychics in the third and fourth rings.
Those who are capable. However, such a group of people can't even touch the edge of awakening. This is probably life.
"You don't seem surprised?" Simonci asked.
"It's not surprising. The two satellites in the sky don't only have outer space defense functions. So many sand people poured out from their hiding places on the tundra plateau and the sand dunes further south and began to gather together. How could I not find it? They were willing to run.
Come out, I am happy to see the result. I am even more happy to see the result when they charge towards our well-constructed position so bravely. If they don't come out, I will find a way to force them out." Hachiman pushed up his glasses.
Simon did hear the chill and cruelty in the other party's plain tone, and was slightly startled: "You, you want to..."
"Xinyumen is a place with great potential. Now that Yu Lian is ready to run the place smoothly, my job is to clean up the garbage as soon as possible."
Simon pondered for a few seconds before sighing: "Comrade Qiu Mingshan, if you do this, you will be infamy in history."
"But there are also achievements left behind. Besides, it's better than being a gangster or a mediocre military bureaucrat who can't leave his name in history, right?" Hachiman pushed up his glasses and returned to the topic:
"The movements of the sand people were indeed what I expected. But what really surprised me was the reaction of the marauders. They have lowered all their troops, including the commander himself. Why is this?"
"To...capture Tulon?"
"They are forced by our orbiting satellite to land at the northern foot of Mount Kiliro. They are still five or six hundred kilometers away from Tulong. No matter how brave the trolls are, even if they can really fight five of them, they may only be able to fight one or two.
Can we defeat Tulong in one day?"
Simon Vayali suddenly understood.
Not to mention a day or two. If we hurry, Yu Company's reinforcements will arrive at Xinyumen within twenty hours.
"In this case, wouldn't all the looters who landed be trapped in death?" Simon asked doubtfully.
"This is what I don't understand." Hachiman said: "Even if the commander of the other side is crazy, are all the military leaders crazy? Can't they see the danger in this? With more than 10,000 people, there can't be one smart person
No one is there."
"Could that be...internal support?" Simon thought of the nearly 200,000 sand people reinforcements 150 kilometers away from Tulong City.
At the beginning of the war, the city-state lords and tribal elders proposed to lead troops to the front line for reinforcements, but they were all declined by Akinayama Hachiman.
"The troops you command are the last barrier for Tulong and Xinyumen, and they are also the last reserve force on the battlefield ahead. How can we move lightly? Everyone needs to rest and stay alert."
I don’t know if the other party understood it, but what is certain is that Hachiman’s statement of calling them the “Total Reserve Team” and the “Last Barrier” really moved them, or at least they acted very moved.
But no matter what, there are now 200,000 sand people stationed less than 150 kilometers away from Tulong. If there is any change there, it is not said that Tulong can be captured, but it can certainly block the city and the
Traffic on the front line is indeed a huge hidden danger.
"Don't worry, we won't cause any trouble." Hachiman shrugged.
Seeing that Simon didn't know why, he added: "You also said that we did a good job. Since there is no commotion at the airport, those sand people can't make a fuss either. Haha, if we hadn't come, there might have been
There has already been a commotion. But now that we are here, we absolutely cannot make a commotion. Our youth club is like this. Isn’t it, Comrade Vayali?"
"...Comrade Qiu Mingshan, do smart people like you have the problem of being a Riddler?"
At this moment, in the Ashdew Valley of Mount Kililo, the forward troops of the sand people had cleared away the ruins of the station and pass in front of them, and finally created a road that could be used by the army.
The sand people sorted out at least two thousand mutilated corpses of their own from the ruins. However, such a tragic situation did not seem to affect their emotions at all.
In this way, the army of sand people formed a long line along the valley road built by the people on earth, and swam to the north of the mountain.
And all of this was seen by the two people hiding in a gap in the rock top at the mouth of the valley.
Mr. Ash Fashbit, a ranger from the Alliance, and Taina Mohn, a reporter from the "Pioneer", did not successfully return to Tulong. When they drove their off-road vehicles to the entrance of Gray Dew Valley, they
They happened to catch up with the attack launched by the Sand People's vanguard force. Both of them were psychics, but they had no intention of driving a civilian off-road vehicle to attack an army of tens of thousands, so they could only hide the vehicle in a cave near the mouth of the valley.
middle.
As the "cruising" Star Ring, Ash used his abilities to hide the entrance of the cave. The two of them felt that waiting all the time was not an option, so they found a hidden high place and secretly observed the battle.
Ash looked at the sand people who were marching past the ruins of the outpost and whispered: "These sand people are a little abnormal."
"Abnormal? Very strong in combat?" Miss Moen asked curiously. After all, she is a civil rights reporter rather than a war reporter. She is indeed not very familiar with the military. She is indeed a psyker, but who said that psykers must be familiar with military affairs?
?
In her opinion, although these primitive indigenous people are armed with live ammunition and have a large number of people, they are still a primitive indigenous race, and they are actually very powerful when they can break through the defense lines of the earth's people.
Okay, although it was obviously crushed with flesh, but in a war, wouldn't people have to die?
You must know that there are also a large number of indigenous races in the vast territory and colonies of the Alliance, and many of them look quite fierce. But once they encounter human military police, they perform no better than a flock of sheep.
In comparison, the Sand People are pretty good.
However, Yaxiu said: "The combat effectiveness... is really not that good. It is even not as good as it was during the Tulong incident."
The reporter looked at the other party in confusion, and Ash smiled and explained: "At that time, the Sand People's army still had tanks and artillery. Although they were not even as good as the new recruits from the Alliance, they knew the basic operations.
For the time being, they can still be regarded as technical arms. And now, these are worthy of praise for their bravery. But in fact, they are just typical rabble."
Miss Moen nodded in agreement: "But the mob will not be courageous."
"You are knowledgeable." Ash gave a thumbs up and praised the UI Bureau: "That's why I said they are not normal. Do you think it is drugs or psychic powers?"
"...I don't have any evidence. However, psychic energy is more likely."
"You can actually do this? Hundreds of thousands of people are brainwashed?"
"There are elders I know who can do it." Miss Taina said matter-of-factly.
Ash was shocked speechless by the opponent's Versailles.
"It's just that he shouldn't be so boring. And it's not worth the gain!" the reporter lady added.
There is really no point in just guessing. The two of them continued to hide in the mountains and observe secretly. After all the sand people's army passed, they returned to the entrance of the valley and went to the cave to find the previously hidden off-road vehicle.
"...What's the next step? Although the sand people have passed through the canyon, the other side of the mountain must have turned into a battlefield. If you want to return to Tulong at this time, you have to cross the line of fire." Yaxiu said.
The reporter lady did not answer, but looked at the skyline behind the mountains and fell into brief contemplation.
At this moment, it was already approaching dawn, and the sun had already revealed a glimmer of light behind the horizon. But probably due to the fierce fighting situation, the sound of gunfire and explosions continued, the flames burned the earth, and the plasma melted the iron.
and blood, these large-scale rays of light staggered and sprinkled into the sky, forming a heart-stopping white light.
Ash added: "Of course, we can also return to the Twin Peaks. However, there will definitely be follow-up troops of the Sand People along the way, and the Marauders also left many troops in Shannan. As your bodyguard,
I personally think that the safest way for us now is to hide in this cave and wait for everything to calm down. The behavior of the predators is the last act of madness, and the sand people's offensive will not last long. The earth's army will soon...
"
Before he finished speaking, Miss Taina seemed to realize something, a glimmer of understanding flashed in her eyes, and she dragged Ash by the hand and rushed out of the cave.
