Chapter 824

On the distant horizon, it was originally occupied by the sky light like blood, forming a red light band. Soon, some black spots appeared in the red light band, and the black spots quickly spread into pieces, eventually forming a rolling wave. The black tide is composed of countless black monsters. These strange insects are three meters long, with a thin head and tail and a round roll in the middle. The whole body is covered with a crystal like shell, and a row of thin insect claws stretch out from both sides. The insect claws slide quickly, making the strange insects move like a land chariot.

They are charge insects, which were widely used by Jinluo Hughes in the war of the fourth era. These alien insects have strong mobility and can quickly attack defensive positions. However, the evaluation of defense and attack power is very low, belonging to the cannon fodder type arms. However, there are a large number of charge insects. Just the wave of insects coming from the horizon, the front reaches the order of millions, and there are few behind. Just a glance at the horizon is enough to make people tremble.

In the past, there were many charge insects. The first flood peak formed by them, I don't know how many kilometers wide, is so crazy. The ground seemed to be covered with a black curtain and quickly approached the war fortress.

Under the control of agradis, the army commander issued orders one by one, so all the soldiers mobilized and entered their combat area one by one. The foreign soldiers and many strong men are still unmoved. It seems that it is not their turn to play.

The charge insects formed the flood peaks and rushed to the war fortress. At this time, some extraordinarily huge figures appeared on the horizon. First of all, there are some strange animals whose bodies are like big meat sacs. They have a head like a giant turtle, but it is covered with lines and hexagonal spars. Four short but thick legs support the huge body and move at a slow speed.

These monsters have only a hundred heads, and the number is pitifully small, but the rich energy smell they emit is more than half that of the charge insects. They are producers, a unit that has no combat power, but can extract planetary resources and convert them into the energy spar needed by the army of prosius. The producer began to stop and lay down on the ground. From his short legs and head, dancing meat whiskers grew and plunged into the ground. They began to draw the energy of the planet, the meat drawer like body began to light up, and the glittering spars were discharged from the rear warehouse.

There are also some huge alien units coming from the horizon. They have a humanoid upper body and a huge multi segmented insect body under them. They have six dark and thick arthropods, which are deeply nailed into the ground. Before moving forward ten meters step by step, the humanoid upper body has obvious human female characteristics. It has no hands and has many tentacles full of suction cups.

They are queens. The queen is a kind of production unit. These giant units come behind the producer and use their tentacles to send the energy spar generated by the producer into a huge mouth in their chest. After the energy spar is swallowed to a certain amount, the Queen's insect tail begins to ovulate. They can excrete thousands of eggs at a time, and the ovulation interval depends on the level of the production unit.

Now the queen produces a medium-level weapon, which is a reaper with excellent mobility and fast attack ability. Their disadvantage is that their defense is weak and they can win mass production. Hundreds of queens give birth together and can produce 100000 insect eggs each time. The interval between harvesters is 10 minutes, which means that 600000 harvesters will appear in an hour.

Assuming there is no time limit, tens of millions of troops will be formed at the end of a day. Of course, the queen will not only produce reapers. Although they are intermediate combat units, they are still cannon fodder consumables for prochus like charge insects. Priority production can form a number of excellent combat units in a short time, so as to provide production time for subsequent advanced or even top-level combat units.

At the time of the Queen's second ovulation, the first batch of eggs had begun to hatch, and a scorpion shaped Reaper Cub with two pairs of sickle like limbs crawled out of it. These larvae use their sickle limbs to cut the egg shell, chop it up, and then devour it. During the process of phagocytosis, the body expands continuously, and then the insect shell breaks and climbs out of the adult harvester.

Adult reapers are not even as big as charging insects. They are only one meter long, have six black claws, and their segmented bodies are embedded with three hexagonal spars. They are the power source of reapers. As soon as the shell broke out, hundreds of thousands of reapers quickly threw themselves into the battlefield and followed the charge insects.

At this time, the forward of the stormworm was less than a 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, one missile dragged the fire into the air, swept the parabola on the bloody sky, and then fell into the tide of insects.

Just the first wave of attack launched thousands of missiles!

Fireballs explode in the tide of insects. Every time they appear, they will leave huge gaps on this black curtain. But these gaps will soon be filled in by the insects at the back.

In the command building in the fortress, the operational staff officers input one command after another into their brains in front of them, so as to send the commands of the headquarters to each command node. There must be no mistake in these orders, otherwise unnecessary losses will be caused. Under the deployment of the headquarters, some soldiers broke away from the square array, but more soldiers were still ready to go.

The missile strike continues. This is the third wave of attack. Thousands of missiles are put into the insect tide. With the explosion flame and shock wave, the color of the insect tide is obviously much lighter than before. The forward of the Stormtrooper is close to the war fortress. The previous million forward have been reduced by more than half under the continuous coverage and bombing of missiles, but the number is still daunting.

As soon as he was close to the war fortress, the charging insect as the striker suddenly only bounced from the ground, and then the segments stretched and the limbs grew violently. Purple insect thorns appeared from the open gap of the segments, immediately arming the insects that were originally like a chariot to the teeth. These insect stingers can be fired. After shooting, the shell will rupture and toxic insect liquid will be sputtered inside. At the same time, it can also be used to drill the enemy in close combat. It is an attack means that the Stormtrooper can use flexibly.

Now, like a giant scorpion, different insects are the real form of charge insects.

At this time, thousands of heavy artillery forts on the fortress began to fight. The dull sound of heavy artillery went up and down, and the roaring shells fell all over the sky, exploding a bright fire on the battlefield. The charge insects were blown up in pieces. Their fragile shells could not reach the bombardment of heavy artillery. Countless insects were blown into a pile of meat mud, but this could not stop the determination of insects to attack. Therefore, the subsequent charge insects continued to cross this fire belt, and then the second and third fire belts lit up on the battlefield.

The appearance of each fire belt represents that tens of thousands of charge insects were blown away, but the fire belt gradually retracted. When the fortress was only about 300 meters away, the fire belt no longer retreated, but firmly bombed in turns, constantly planing and flying 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 100000 troops of charge insects.

The battlefield became a meat grinder.

After the heavy artillery, the unique sounds of anti-aircraft machine guns and runner machine guns sounded in the fortress. It is arranged in tens of thousands of shooting holes in the defense high wall in front of the fortress. These two powerful guns are powerful at the same time. The visible bright fire line immediately crosses the edge of the battlefield. The smell of gunpowder and blood are mixed together to form a unique smell of the battlefield. Located on the high defense wall, nearly 100 flame throwers work at the same time. Under the operation of soldiers, fire dragons spray down the wall and sweep over the charge insects. Immediately, the insect shell burst, and the whole body of the insect caught fire and turned into fireballs.

By this time, the previous contact war between agradis and prosius was in full swing. The war spread over thousands of square kilometers of battlefield, and the explosion light and splashing flesh and blood could be seen in almost every corner. At this time, as one side of the attack, the Stormtrooper had almost dropped nearly a million bodies, and the deaths and injuries in the fortress could be ignored.

However, the number of charge insects is still numbing, and at the end of the insect tide, three waves of reapers have joined the battlefield. Soon, the number of reapers will catch up with the charge insects.

Some stormworms have begun to climb the high defense wall, but on the top of the wall, the dense fire points sprinkle a shower of bullets from the top of the wall, beat the stormworms attached to the wall into a sieve and shoot them down one by one. Every minute, you can see the body of the charge insect falling on the wall. It looks like a rain of insects from a distance. But if it went on like this, it was only a matter of time before the Stormtrooper entered the fortress, so the headquarters revised the order.

On the take-off pad, a team of light aircraft took off in formation and launched into the battlefield in a defensive formation with 100 combat units as a team. These mecha are similar to Griffin knights in the west, but they have obviously been improved. The mecha is half larger than the Griffin knight, which allows them to carry more weapons. For example, the previous pocket guided missile system has been replaced. Now the shoulder is loaded with small distributed missiles, and the drug guide warehouse has also been expanded to improve the operational capability of Griffin knights.

The portable microcomputer is replaced by wrist armour continuous fire machine gun. The magazine of wrist armour machine gun is equipped with standard bullets and a small part of incendiary bombs.

Finally, the chest armor part is loaded with a micro reactor, which greatly improves the power of the old Griffin knight, and can emit pulsed light waves when needed, causing great damage. However, the pulsed light wave will greatly consume the energy of the mecha, so the operator will not use it unless it is absolutely necessary.

These second-generation Griffin Knights continue to take off. In the twinkling of an eye, there are nearly 10000 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 and ground mobile armours drove out from inside. These ground moving mecha are obviously improved models of paladin mecha. The original bipedal walking mode is replaced by axle wheel sliding mode. A row of axle wheels are added to the foot of the mecha, which greatly improves the shortcomings of insufficient action force. At the same time, the old rotary machine gun was removed and replaced with a double barrel automatic gun. The shoulder is a linked missile launch system, the back is a lifting grenade gun, and the waist is a combined high-frequency Tomahawk component. When the ammunition is exhausted, the driver can still use the Tomahawk for hand to hand combat.

The greatly improved paladins continue to drive out of the mecha warehouse. They form a silver torrent, approaching the charge insects from both sides.

No matter the improved Griffin knight or paladin, it is not the imagination of agradis, but the technology that can be developed in a limited time according to the current science and technology and development ability of mankind, which is reproduced and put on the battlefield by him and obtained through digital modeling.

In other words, over time, if there were no accidents, the two kinds of mecha in the western continent would be like this.

Once lifted off, the Griffin Knights formed a defense formation and flew directly to the front of the charging insect army. As soon as they swept into the battlefield, the shoulder armor of all Knights was opened, and the distributed small missiles inside were constantly fired. Suddenly, it was like rain, and they flew densely towards the insect tide below. A moment later, countless small fireballs appeared in the tide of insects. The formation and bombing points of Griffin knights were carefully calculated to achieve the maximum lethality.

After several rounds of bombing, the insect tide in front of the fortress was obviously reduced, forming a rare blank.

Paladins killed from both sides occupied this blank area and formed the first steel line of defense. The paladin's double barrel automatic gun is fired at the speed of two rounds per second. The bullet of the gun is enough to blow a huge hole in the submachine bug. A submachine bug can be killed with a few shots, and a few more shots will be completely blown to pieces. Of course, the pilots will not be so wasteful. They attack in echelons under the command of the commander, repeatedly killing the swarms of insects.

After another two rounds of bombing, the Griffin knight in the sky basically ran out of shoulder distributed missiles. So some machine armours returned to load ammunition, while others cooperated with ground troops to fire with wrist armour machine guns. Occasionally, they were replaced with incendiary bombs, forming a wall of fire in the tide of insects. But the fire wall didn't have much time to stop the tide of insects. A moment later, it was trampled out by the following insects.

After these two kinds of machine armor, when the blank area in front of the fortress was obtained, the key gate began to rise. The first thing to open was all kinds of steel combat vehicles. In addition to the common artillery tanks and missile armored vehicles, there was also a new combat unit. Like the upgraded artillery tank, this combat unit also adopts the crawler power system, but the ordinary cannon is replaced by the double barrel cannon, but the double barrel cannon is only a spoke cannon. It is located on both sides of the combat vehicle and has a separate combat platform, which needs soldiers to operate in it. The main gun is a 120 mm muzzle plasma cannon, which was originally used in the weapon system of the round table Knight King Arthur, but now it is loaded on this new chariot.

This chariot, called Thor, has strong firepower 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 humanoid design. The waist is combined with a disc runner and a crawler body. The new mecha with a height of nearly five meters, holding a high-temperature flame ejector and a large fuel tank behind them can ensure their long-term combat.

A double barrel 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 body of the locomotive is not only a decoration, the anti-aircraft machine guns in front and the small artillery platforms on both sides can provide enough firepower.

The annihilator armor needs three operators alone. It is a kind of armor that needs to be controlled by multiple people. Like Thor, it belongs to a large combat unit. Along with the annihilators, there are ordinary human soldiers. The soldiers wear lightweight tactical clothes with certain defense ability. The standard is equipped with a new era high-energy drive rifle, which has faster firing speed and greater power. In addition, there are composite daggers, high explosive grenades and self explosive devices as the last means of combat.

When the main force of the fortress went to the battlefield, the stormtroopers were harvested immediately. Especially when the big guys such as Thor and destroyer were put into the battlefield, they were simply movable small fortresses. As soon as Thor's plasma cannon is fired, it will clear a passage of nearly 200 meters and 45 meters wide in the insect tide, and the subsequent explosion will continue to dig a blank in the insect tide.

The annihilator is no inferior. The fuel produced by the improved formula can spray a flame of up to 2000 degrees, not to mention the charge insect. Even steel has to be melted into iron juice. The annihilator fought forward, the ejector swept out fire dragons, swept at random towards the swarm, and the charging insects fell down in pieces.

With the help of artillery tanks, missile chariots and other locomotives, the army of the fortress not only stopped the tide of insects, but also pushed towards the rear of the Proteus army. By this time, the Stormtrooper had fallen half, and millions of bodies witnessed the tragedy of the war.

But then the Reaper of prochus finally arrived.

These combat units, which are more flexible than the stormworms, quickly evade the firepower of the fortress army. If they cannot be evaded, they will temporarily order the nearby stormworms to act as their own meat shield. Once you get closer, the Reaper will pounce fiercely.

The first line of defense against the reapers is the paladin. The drivers in the mecha roar and hit these monsters with similar shapes. After the initial collision, there was a fierce tear. The paladin's double barrel gun can easily leave huge wounds on the reaper, but at the same time, the Reaper's sharp sickle is enough to cut the paladin's armor.

In terms of destructive power, the two are equal. The number of harvesters is ten times that of paladins, or even more!
