From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

The lightning attack aircraft formation has launched a bombing on the sea of ​​insects that spread across the desert in accordance with the instructions of Maggie and others.

Although the bombing area was still dozens of kilometers away from the south and east of the town, Leon, Rico and others could still hear the violent explosion caused by the bombing more than a hundred seconds ago.

The clone who also heard the noise looked to the southeast and asked Leon:

"Do you need us to deliver this batch of supplies to the designated location?"

"Of course, Jimmy! Suk!" Lyon glanced behind him and ordered two infantrymen from the 226th Combat Platoon:

"You two will act as guides and lead them to the front-line headquarters!"

"Yes, Sergeant."

The two infantrymen who were deliberately named were somewhat reluctant, but still followed the clones on the maglev truck and headed west to the outskirts of the town.

Although the clones were equipped with equipment and helmets to conceal their true faces, the two infantrymen still felt that their appearance was too terrifying.

In addition, the previous suppression by the fierce firepower of the clones left both infantrymen with considerable psychological trauma.

But the two also knew that the two sides were currently in a short period of cooperation, not to mention that the clones had provided them with weapons and material assistance, so they did not complain too much and acted as guides for the clones.

Lyon continued to lead more than 400 infantrymen to the southern edge of the town with Rico and other non-commissioned officers.

The east is under the charge of clones, so Leon naturally does not need to worry too much, but the southwest of the town that has been occupied by them is still in a relatively chaotic situation.

So, Leon instructed Maggie and others on the communication:

“The advancing force led by Shaw, Frost, Ace, Rico and I are about to reach the southern high wall of the town.

At the same time, you must make relatively reasonable arrangements based on the locations of all mixed forces.

We only need 6,000 people to guard the southern high wall together, and the remaining mixed forces will be used to consolidate the occupied areas and be responsible for guarding, patrolling and other tasks.

Don't forget, those bugs are extremely good at digging holes, and we don't want to be attacked from both sides."

"Okay, Sergeant. We'll take care of these."

"Ah."

After hearing Maggie's reply on the communication, Leon said nothing more.

And without Maggie telling him, Lyon guessed that Honald Thompson and his trusted team had already been "dealt with" by Maggie.

Otherwise, that incompetent and cowardly colonel would have started nagging again on the comms long before they reached a ceasefire agreement with the clones.

As for whether there will be an opportunity to permanently "erase" Hornard and others in the future, Lyon needs to adapt to the situation.

now.

He and Rui Ge and others crossed several intersections and finally arrived at the southern part of the town where the buildings and streets remained intact.

Because the clones needed to "act" with their mobile infantry, all the clone soldiers stranded in the south had retreated when the ceasefire agreement was reached.

So now on the southern high wall, there are only fixed machine guns and machine guns that "have not had time to" be dismantled, as well as machine gun and machine gun ammunition that "have not had time to" be moved away.

Immediately, Lyon and his group who arrived here first climbed up the high wall and chose the best defensive position.

At the same time, a large number of infantry were also dispatched to occupy and use those fixed machine guns and machine guns.

It didn't take long.

More and more mixed troops arrived here, and also climbed up the high walls, selected the best shooting points, and patiently waited for the impending attack of the Arachi "sea of ​​insects".

Rico, who followed Leon's example and picked up an AMWS rifle, looked out at the smoke-filled desert ahead, and saw lightning attack planes occasionally flying low over the sky. He whispered to Leon beside him:

"Sergeant, if we and the clones successfully resist the Zerg attack, what should we do next? Continue to fight them?"

"."

Hearing this, Leon did not respond immediately, but pondered for a few seconds before saying:

“It would be unwise to continue to fight them in our current isolated situation.

But in the current situation, we should consider how to withstand the attack of insects."

As he spoke, Leon's gaze fell into the distance.

About four kilometers away from the town, there were dense swarms of Arachi Warrior Bugs, mixed with a large number of huge tank bugs that looked like beetles.

In addition, Lyon and others also discovered a large number of green jumping insects that looked like giant fruit flies, flying low in the air accompanying the Arachi insect sea.

The reason why the lightning attack aircraft, which has fired all its missiles and bombs into the air, flies by frequently is that it is actually using its machine guns to destroy as many jumping bugs as possible, which belong to the insect air unit.

Even so, the remaining two hundred or so thunder attack aircraft are still too "small" compared to the tens of thousands of jumping insects.

Fortunately, the flying height, speed, and agility of the jumping insects were no match for the Raiden attack aircraft, so they could only be suppressed by the Raiden's machine guns.

Wait until Raiden runs out of machine gun ammunition

Then the mobile infantry stationed in the town completely lost their air support and had to fight head-on against the swarm of insects.

But Leon didn't know whether the clone soldiers had other air or ground vehicles hidden.

Or perhaps the Blood Angels fleet, capable of providing orbital strikes in times of crisis?

But Leon had not yet taken the time to carefully examine the "foreign object" given to him by the clone through the handshake.

According to Leon's speculation, it might be a data mobile terminal that was carefully planned and deployed by the Storage Investigation Department, so that he and Maggie and other investigators hiding in the Federation could better "recruit" tens of thousands of expeditionary infantrymen.

When the sea of ​​insects was only about two kilometers away from the high wall where everyone was—

"Apes!"

Leon pointed his gun forward and shouted loudly on the communication:

"It's time to see who kills the most bugs! But please be sure to pay attention to your remaining ammunition! Don't empty your magazines all at once!"

"Sir! Yes! Sir!"

The responses of a group of mobile infantrymen echoed across the communications.

"Very good! Now you are in high spirits and obey my orders.

three!

two!

Fire freely! "

Da da da--!

Bang—bang—!

As Lyon said the word "fire" on the communication, the southern high wall immediately opened fire with guns and artillery.

More than 6,000 mobile infantrymen were either firing in bursts or rapid fire. Only a few recruits forgot Lyon's instructions and pulled the trigger hard, emptying the magazines in an instant.

Nearly a hundred infantrymen operated the fixed machine guns and machine cannons left behind by the clones, continuously attacking the sea of ​​insects.

In addition, the high-explosive bombs used by machine guns and machine cannons have a strong killing effect on Arachi insects.

In an instant, the insects at the front were knocked down and smashed by guns and cannons of various calibers.

However, after a series of events, such as following the transport insects into the sand and being bombed by lightning formations, the number of insects is still in the millions.

The mobile infantry led by Leon, Rico and a group of non-commissioned officers are obviously unable to fight against such a large number of Zerg troops.

According to past procedures, if the mobile infantry encountered an insect swarm attack of this scale, they would usually hold their positions and wait for evacuation.

The fleet would dispatch transport boats to evacuate the mobile infantry stranded on the ground, and then dispatch a bombing formation to "solve the sea of ​​insects once and for all." But where could Lyon and his men get support from the expeditionary fleet now?

soon.

The sea of ​​insects approached to a position only 500 meters away from the high wall.

hiss--!

howl--!

At the same time, in addition to hearing the deafening sound of gunfire, Lyon and others could also vaguely hear the roar of insects.

However, Rui Ge had already used up all the ammunition in his AMWS rifle, so he had to pick up his Morita rifle again and continue shooting forward.

Dada-da-ka!

At the same time, Leon emptied his magazine and prepared to replace the last one.

But after completing the actions of changing the magazine and cocking the bolt, Leon fell into a daze.

Because under their concentrated fire attack, the corpses of the dead insects accumulated more and more, gradually forming a "mountain of corpses".

If the bugs in the rear wanted to continue to approach the high southern wall where they were stationed, they would have to climb over or bypass the mountain of corpses piled up by their own kind.

To be honest, even though Leon had seen all kinds of abnormal creatures and alien races, this was the first time he had witnessed such a scene.

At the same time, I also truly felt the Zerg's swarm tactics.

When the insects advanced to this point, at least hundreds of thousands of them were killed by them, but the insects, like the clones, had no fear or confusion at all and continued to charge forward tirelessly.

at this time.

Ri~Boom——Boom——!

The sound of large-caliber artillery began to spread throughout the battlefield.

?

Everyone looked over when they heard the sound.

!

Then they saw an armored formation led by four Hunter main battle tanks appear in their sight from the east.

Not only that, there are at least two thousand fully armed clone soldiers, working in tactical squads as basic units, "going upstream" against the incoming sea of ​​insects.

What shocked the mobile infantry even more was that the ones rushing in the front were actually several "giants" who were four meters tall, equipped with heavy armor, and armed with rotating machine guns or plasma cannons.

To Leon, those giants were one of Atlas' most sophisticated biological weapons.

Reloaded Tyrant.

The heavily armored Tyrants controlled by the driver's consciousness, cooperating with the Hunter main battle tanks to advance forward, were like an extremely sharp blade, directly piercing through the Zerg army.

The mobile infantry on the high wall can clearly see the rotating machine gun and plasma cannon held in the Tyrant's left hand, which can easily tear and shatter the warrior bugs around them.

His right hand can even smash or send insects flying by punching, swinging his arms and other movements.

!!!

Almost all the mobile infantrymen who witnessed this scene were stunned. They obviously did not expect that "humans" or "clones" could do such a thing.

As for the jumping bugs that hover in the sky and sometimes seize the opportunity to harvest heads with their sickle-like claws, they become the main targets of the clone army.

The clone machine gunner equipped with a .30cal caliber smart machine gun can be said to be the "nemesis" of the jumping worm.

After all, various types of smart warheads can carry out accurate shooting "without restraint".

In addition, the turret of the Killer main battle tank is equipped with a micro-missile launcher, which can be used for both air defense and ground fire coverage.

But when used to kill jumping insects, it always feels like "using a cannon to kill a mosquito".

So the clone gunners of the Killer main battle tank fired hundreds of micro missiles at the area where the insects were most densely populated at once.

In just a short moment, at least 100,000 Arachi warrior insects were directly "vaporized" and "evaporated".

However, those huge tank bugs that could spit out high-temperature flames were directly locked and shattered by the Killer's Gauss main gun.

But with the suicidal charge of the clone army, the size of the Zerg swarm was indeed rapidly reduced, but their casualties also became increasingly heavy.

This puzzled the mobile infantrymen.

But Leon took the opportunity to say: "Everyone pay attention! Full fire!

In order to defend the town and reduce casualties for us humans, the clones of the Human Empire chose to take the initiative to attack. So we cannot be stingy with the ammunition in our hands!

Kill all the bugs!"

"Yes!"

Next.

More than 6,000 mobile infantry led by Leon, Rico and others also increased their firepower in a short period of time to provide cover for the clones who ventured into the Zerg swarm.

When everyone had little ammunition left, the million-scale sea of ​​​​insects had become "a thing of the past", turning into piles of corpses like low mountains and hills.

As for the clone army, they suffered heavy casualties and were running out of ammunition.

Even after the tyrant had used up all his ammunition, he chose to kill the bugs with his bare hands, and was eventually swallowed up by warrior bugs that were dozens of times larger than himself.

The four Hunter Main Battle Tanks were besieged and destroyed by Tiger Bugs, which had claws that could tear through steel and looked similar to Warriors but were much larger in size.

Now, there are only a hundred or so surviving clones, standing on guard outside the high walls.

On the other hand, on the mobile infantry side, only dozens of unlucky guys were beheaded by the jumping bugs that broke through the firepower network.

But overall they didn't suffer much damage, and they didn't have time to use the weapons and ammunition delivered by the clones.

In other words, at this moment, the mobile infantry only need to continue advancing to easily occupy the entire town and all kinds of supplies that were deliberately left behind and forgotten by the clones.

Seeing this, Rui Ge asked again:

"Sergeant, what should we do now? Break the armistice agreement?"

"Let Maggie, Frost and the others try to persuade the clones to accept our captives. The clones now pose no threat to us at all."

Leon stood up and walked towards the high wall, and continued to say to Rui Ge who was following behind him:

“Then have the various advancing forces conduct a comprehensive search of the entire town and take control of the clones’ supplies. We will go too.

What remains is how to lead everyone to evacuate New Hope safely."

"Okay Sergeant."

Later, while Leon led everyone to "sweep" the entire town, he took the time to check the "foreign objects" handed to him by the clones, or

It is a mobile terminal that stores smart AI data.

After a brief exchange with the intelligent AI, Leon learned that the Investigation Department had already sent more than a dozen federal escort transport ships and the corresponding federal prisoners to a starport on the surface.

The evacuation route for him and the mobile infantry was to recapture the dozen or so escort transport ships "without injury" according to the arrangement of the Investigation Department.
