[Thanks, Shen Yi's monthly ticket support! New book friends, thank you for your support! ! ]

On the distant horizon, it was originally occupied by the **** sky, forming a crimson light band. Soon, some black spots appeared in the red light band, and the black spots quickly spread into pieces, finally forming a rolling wave. In that dark tide, it is composed of countless black monsters. These weird worms are three meters long, with thin heads and tails, and a round center. The whole body was covered with a crystal-like shell, and a row of thin worm claws protruded from both sides. The worm claws slid quickly, causing the strange worm to move quickly like a land chariot.

They are charge worms, which were widely used by Rosius in the war of the Fourth Age. These zergs have powerful mobility and can quickly attack defensive positions. However, the evaluation of defense and offensive power is very low, and it belongs to the cannon fodder type of arms. However, the number of assault worms is numerous. Just the wave of worms coming from the horizon, the forwards have reached the order of magnitude of nearly a million, and the ones behind are uncommon. Just a glance towards the horizon is enough to make people fearful.

Looking at the past, there are densely packed figures of charge insects. The first flood peak that they formed, the width of which is not known how many kilometers long, just flooded in such a frenzy. The ground seemed to be covered with a black screen, and it quickly approached the war fortress.

Under the control of Agradis, the commander of the army issued a series of orders, so all the soldiers mobilized and entered their fighting area one by one. The alien soldiers and many powerful men were still unmoved, and it seemed that it was not yet their turn to play.

The assault worms formed the flood peaks and attacked the war fortresses. At this time, some extraordinarily huge figures appeared on the horizon. First of all, there are some monsters with bodies like large fleshy sacs. They have a head like a giant tortoise, but they are covered with lines and six-sided crystals. Four short but thick legs supported the huge body and moved at a slow speed.

These strange beasts only have a hundred or so, and the number is pitifully small, but the rich energy aura radiating from their bodies is close to more than half of the charge worms. They are producers, a unit that has no combat effectiveness, but can extract planetary resources and transform them into the energy spar needed by the Prosius army. The producer began to stop and lay down on the ground. From the short legs and head, fluttering whiskers grew out of the short legs and head, and then plunged into the ground one by one. They began to extract the energy of the planet, their flesh-like bodies began to light up, and gleaming spars were discharged from the mouth of the tail.

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-segmented insect body, with six dark and thick arthropods, which are deeply nailed into the ground. Before moving forward at a step of ten meters, the humanoid upper body has obvious characteristics of a human female, without hands, with multiple tentacles full of suckers.

They are queens, and queens are a kind of production unit. These giant units come behind the producer and use their tentacles to send the energy spar produced by the producer into a huge mouth in the chest. After the energy spar has been swallowed up to a certain amount, the queen's worm's tail will begin to ovulate. They can shed thousands of eggs at a time, and the ovulation interval depends on the stage of the production unit.

The queen now produces a mid-level arms, which are Reapers with excellent mobility and fast attack capabilities. Their disadvantage is that they have weak defenses, and they can be mass-produced. Hundreds of queens produce together, each time producing 100,000 eggs. The production interval of the harvesters is 10 minutes, which means that in an hour, there will be 600,000 harvesters.

Assuming that there is no time limit, then one day, there will be an army of tens of millions of ranks. Of course, the queen will not only produce Reapers. Although this is a mid-level combat unit, like the Chargers, they are still consumables like cannon fodder for Prosius. Priority production can form an excellent number of combat units in a short time, just to provide production time for subsequent advanced or even top combat units.

By the time the queen performed the second ovulation, the first batch of worm eggs had already hatched, from which crawled out a scorpion-shaped scorpion but with two pairs of sickle-like arthropods. These larvae use their sickle limbs to chop the egg shells into pieces, and then swallow them. In the process of swallowing, the body swells continuously, and then the worm shell ruptures, and the adult reaper crawls out of it.

Adult reapers are not even as big as charge insects. They are only one meter long, with six black claws, and three hexagonal crystal stones embedded in the nodular body. They are the source of power for the reapers. As soon as they broke out of the shell, hundreds of thousands of Reapers quickly threw themselves into the battlefield, following the assault worm.

At this time, the striker of the assault worm was less than one kilometer away from the war fortress. The huge war machine of the fortress began to activate, and the missile launch platform took the lead to attack. After a simple positioning, the missiles lifted into the air, dragging the flames, flying parabolic aisles on the **** sky, and then falling into the worm tide.

Thousands of missiles were launched in just the first wave of attacks!

Balls of fire exploded in the insect tide, and every time they appeared, they would leave huge blanks on the black curtain. But these blanks will soon be filled in by bugs behind.

In the command building in the fortress, the combat staff input commands one after another to the brains in front of them, thus sending the commands of the command to each command node. These commands must not have a slight error, otherwise it will cause unnecessary losses. Under the deployment of the headquarters, some soldiers left the square phalanx, but more soldiers were still ready to go.

The missile strike continues. This is already the third wave of offensive. Thousands of missiles are thrown into the insect tide. With the explosion of flames and shock waves, the color of the insect tide is obviously much lighter than before. But assault worm's forward is close to the war fortress, the previous million forwards, under the continuous bombing of missiles, have been cut by most, but the number is still daunting.

As soon as it approached the war fortress, the assault worm acting as the forward suddenly only bounced from the ground, and then its body segments stretched, and its arthropods grew violently, and purple spines emerged from the gaps in the open body segments, instantly making it look like a chariot. The worms were armed to the teeth. These insect stings can be fired. After shooting, the shell will break and poisonous insect fluid will be splashed inside. At the same time, it can also be used to drill into the enemy during close combat, which is an attack method that can be used flexibly by assault worms.

But now, the Zerg like a giant scorpion is the real form of the Charge Worm.

At this time, thousands of heavy artillery turrets on the fortress began to go into battle, and the dull sound of heavy artillery guns rose and fell one after another. The assault worms were blown up in pieces, and their fragile shells could not reach the bombing of the heavy artillery. Countless insects were blown into a pile of fleshy mud, but this did not stop the determination of the insects to attack, so the subsequent assault worms continued to cross. After this fire belt, the second and third fire belts lit up on the battlefield.

The appearance of each fire belt means that tens of thousands of assault worms have been blown up, but the fire belt gradually retracts. When it was reduced to a distance of about 300 meters from the fortress, the fire belt no longer flinched. Instead, it resolutely bombed in turn, digging up and flying the insects and the earth. The distance from the first fire zone to the last fire zone is only more than two hundred meters. But at this distance, nearly 100,000 troops of the assault worm were cut off.

The battlefield became a meat grinder.

Following the heavy artillery, the unique sounds of anti-aircraft cannons and revolver cannons sounded in the fortress. Arranged in the tens of thousands of shooting holes on the high defensive wall in front of the fortress, these two powerful guns fire at the same time. The visible bright line of fire immediately penetrates the battlefield. The smell of gunpowder and blood mixes together to form a unique battlefield. Smell. Nearly a hundred flamethrowers on the high defensive wall were working at the same time. Under the operation of the soldiers, fire dragons sprayed down the city wall and swept over the assault insects. Immediately the shell burst, and the whole body of the bug caught fire, turning into fireballs.

At 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 flames of explosions and splashes of flesh and blood could be seen in almost every corner. At this time, as the offensive side, the Charge Worm had already dropped nearly a million corpses, and the casualties in the fortress were almost negligible.

However, the number of assault worms is still so large that it makes people numb, and behind the worm tide, three waves of reapers have joined the battlefield, and soon, the number of reapers will catch up with the assault worms.

Assault insects have already begun to climb the high defensive wall, but on the top of the wall, densely packed firepower points will sprinkle a splash of bullet rain from the wall, sieve the assault insects that are attached to the wall, and shoot them down one by one. Every minute and every second, you can see the corpse of the assault worm falling down on the city wall. From a distance, it looks like a rain of insects. But if this continues, it is only a matter of time before the assault bug enters the fortress, so the command revised the order.

On the take-off pad, a team of light mechas lined up into the air, with hundreds of combat units as a team, and launched into the battlefield in a defensive formation. These mechas are similar to the Griffin Riders of the Western Continent, but they have obviously been improved. Mechas are half the size of Griffin Riders, which allows them to carry more weapons. For example, the previous pocket guided missile system has been replaced, and now the shoulders are loaded with distributed small missiles, and the capacity of the guided charge compartment has also been expanded to improve the deficiencies in the combat capabilities of the Griffin Rider.

The portable microcomputer was replaced by a wrist-armed continuous-fire machine gun, and the wrist-armed machine gun magazine was equipped with standard bullets and a small part of incendiary bombs.

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

These second-generation Griffin Riders continued to take off. In a blink of an eye, there were nearly 10,000 Griffin Riders in the sky of the fortress, but the number is still increasing.

At the same time, on both sides of the fortress, doors opened one by one, and ground mechas drove out from inside. These ground travel mechas are obviously improved models of the Paladin mechas. The original biped walking mode was replaced by the wheel sliding mode. The feet of the mechas were equipped with a row of wheels, which greatly improved the original lack of mobility. shortcoming. At the same time, the old revolver gun was removed and replaced with a double-barreled automatic gun. On the shoulder is a linked missile launching system, behind it is a liftable howitzer, and on the waist is a combinable high-frequency tomahawk assembly. When the ammunition is exhausted, the pilot can still use the tomahawk for hand-to-hand combat.

The greatly improved paladins continued to drive out from the mecha warehouse, forming a torrent of silver, approaching the Charge Worm from both sides.

Whether it is an improved Griffin Rider or a Paladin, it is not Agradis’s imagination, but based on the technology and development capabilities currently mastered by mankind, and the technology that can be developed within a limited period of time, so that it can be developed by him. A combat unit that is reproduced and put on the battlefield through digital modeling.

In other words, in time, if there were no accidents, the two mechas on the Western Continent would be what they are now.

Once lifted into the air, the Griffin Riders formed a defensive formation and flew directly to the front of the assault worm army. They swept into the battlefield. The shoulder armors of all the knights were opened, and the small missiles in it were continuously shot out. Suddenly, it was raining densely downwards. The tide of insects blasted away. After a while, countless small fireballs appeared in the worm tide. The formations and bombing points of the Griffin Riders were carefully calculated to achieve the maximum lethality.

After several rounds of bombing in this way, the tide of insects in front of the fortress was obviously cut down, forming a rare blank.

The Paladins who killed from both sides occupied this blank area and formed the first steel line of defense. The paladin’s dual-barreled automatic artillery fires at a rate of two rounds per second. The bullets of the artillery are enough to blast a huge hole in the assault worm. A single assault worm can be killed with a few shots, and a few more shots will completely bomb. Become fragments. Of course, the pilots will not be so wasteful. They attacked in echelon under the command of the commander, killing the swarms of insects continuously.

After two more rounds of bombing, the Griffin Rider in the sky basically used up the distributed missiles on his shoulders. So part of the mechas returned and loaded ammunition, and the other part cooperated with the ground forces to shoot with wrist-armor machine guns, occasionally replaced with incendiary bombs, forming a wall of fire in the insect tide. It's just that the wall of fire didn't have much time to stop the worm infestation, and after a while, it was trampled out by the worms that rushed forward and succeeded.

Following these two types of mechas, when the blank area in front of the fortress was obtained, the key gates began to rise. The first thing to do was to drive out all kinds of steel tanks. In addition to the common artillery tanks and missile armored vehicles, there was one more. A brand-new combat unit. This combat unit is like an upgraded version of the artillery tank. It also uses a crawler-type power system, but the ordinary cannon is replaced with a double-barreled cannon, but this double-barreled cannon is only a spokes gun. The combat platform requires soldiers to be located in it to operate. The main gun is a plasma cannon with a 120mm muzzle. This was originally a weapon system used on the Knights of the Round Table, King Arthur, but is now loaded on this brand new tank.

This kind of chariot is called Thor, with powerful firepower support, and it is a complete war machine.

After the tanks, 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 disc-type runner and a crawler-type body. The new mech, which is nearly five meters tall, holds a high-temperature flamethrower and a large-capacity fuel tank on the back can ensure that they can fight for a long time.

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 runs out. Even the lower locomotive is not only a display, the anti-aircraft machine gun in the front and the small artillery platforms on both sides can provide enough firepower.

The mech called the Annihilator requires three people for the operator alone. This is a mech that needs to be controlled by multiple people. It belongs to a large combat unit like Thor. Along with the Annihilator, there were ordinary human soldiers. The soldiers wore lightweight tactical uniforms with certain defensive capabilities. The standard is equipped with a new era high-energy drive rifle, which has a faster rate of fire and greater power. In addition, there are composite daggers, high-explosive grenade, and self-detonation devices that serve as a last resort.

When the main force of this fortress went to the battlefield, the assault worms were immediately harvested in large numbers, especially when big guys such as Thor and Annihilator were dropped on the battlefield, they were simply small movable fortresses. Once Raytheon’s plasma cannon is bombarded, it will clear a nearly two-hundred-meter-wide, four-to-five-meter-wide passage in the worm tide, and subsequent explosions will continue to dig a blank in the worm tide. .

The Annihilator is no less inferior~lightnovelpub.net~ The fuel produced by the improved formula can spray up to two thousand degrees of flame, not to mention the charge bug, even the steel has to be melted into iron. The annihilator went on such a battle, the ejector swept out all the fire dragons, and randomly swept towards the insect swarm, the assault insect fell in patches.

Coupled with the help of various locomotives such as artillery tanks, guided missile chariots, etc., the army of the fortress not only prevented the insect infestation, but also tended to advance toward the rear of the Prosius army. By this time, the assault worm had fallen by half, and millions of corpses had witnessed the tragic war.

But at this time, the reaper of Prosius finally arrived.

These combat units, which are more flexible than the charge worms, quickly evade the firepower of the fortress army, and if they cannot avoid it, they will temporarily order the nearby charge worms to act as their own shields. Once you get closer, the Reaper will pounce boldly.

The first line of defense against the Reapers was the Paladin, and the pilots in the mech roared into these monsters of the same size. After the initial collision, there was a fierce tear. The Paladin's dual-barreled artillery 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. The number of harvestables is ten times that of Paladins, or even more!
