too late, organism

As the commander of the fleet, Tier Vadami threw those redundant thoughts out of his mind as quickly as possible, and other things can wait until the battle is over. Now he wants to bring these good boys under him to live first, Whether they are Kirahli or Guru, now they are their own soldiers and they must be responsible for their lives.

"Tir Vadami! Are you fleeing without a fight!"

Before leading the Prophet to continue his accusation, Tir Vadami interrupted the Prophet's speech.

"It's an attack to capture the relic of the forerunner! They didn't invest in the relic of the forerunner in the previous battle, even if they had a big disadvantage, but left it in this galaxy. Obviously, they can't let this battle planet go too far away. The distance, so the control room of this forerunner relic must be on that planet or in those space stations."

Although what he said sounded like that, Tier Vadami knew that he was talking nonsense. He didn't know anything about this battle planet at all. Maybe those humans hadn't participated in this battle before. The planet is probably because they only recently managed to launch it.

And his jump to the planet protected by armed space stations was not actually an act of seizing the relics of the forerunners. He wanted to destroy those space stations in the shortest possible time and then descend the fleet into the atmosphere.

With the protection of the atmosphere, when I face those fast missiles, I have more interception time. At the same time... as long as I get close to the sky above those human colonies, those humans will also attack them in order to avoid casualties. more conservative.

At the same time, this huge battle planet cannot get too close to that planet because of its quality. As long as this battle planet is excluded, then when facing those human battleships, its own battleship still has a quality advantage.

In this way, he has a chance to last until the arrival of reinforcements.

When he saw the battle planet, Tyr Vadami had already sent a communication, and now the two nearest Covenant fleets, Holy Sigh and Justice Vigilance, are coming.

Apart from this troublesome forerunner battle planet in this galaxy, there are only more than 30 human battleships that have been discovered and more than 20 armed space stations in the orbit of that planet. I still have a great chance to win this battle. .

When more than a dozen more Covenant warships were destroyed by the missiles launched by the Iron Master, these Star Alliance warships started the jump at the same time. Covenant battleship.

This sudden jump not only allowed the Special Justice Fleet to avoid the third wave of full-bomb firing after the Juggernaut finished loading, but also avoided the speed drop caused by the mounted weapon pod, and at the same time, in order not to be attacked The stray bullets in the battle spread to the Shinra PDF-class frigate that deliberately took a long way.

When the battleship has completed the transition and appeared at a distance from Reach Star that is only a little more than the distance from the earth and the moon, the UNSC armed space warfare and the weak firepower of more than [-] battleships are facing the overwhelming plasma torpedoes , and countless laser and plasma beams like glow sticks waving at a concert, flocked to the twenty armed space stations protecting Reach.

There is no kinetic energy shield, only relying on the A-level titanium alloy armor that is as thick as kraft paper in front of the energy weapons of the Covenant, and the armed space station that has been targeted to strengthen the main structure of the space station for defense. Any decent resistance has become a large number of debris that endangers the safety of high-level space navigation on the Reach star.

Then, after leaving a small number of light warships to contain the UNSC fleet that was attacking the Covenant fleet like Don Quixote charging the windmill, the Special Justice Fleet began to enter the atmosphere of Reach Star to prepare for ground combat.

For a moment, the Zhiyuan star, which had been relaxed because of Shinra's arrival, began to sound a shrill siren.

When the Iron Master discovered the space signal, the cat car warned the UNSC that there was an attack from the Star Alliance's large fleet.

It was only because of the arrival of Shinra and the easy annihilation of the heroic and cautious fleet that the UNSC suspended the Red Flag operation and temporarily stopped the large-scale fleet assembly that was prepared for the winter emergency.

After all, after such a large battle planet appeared in orbit, both the UNSC and the cat car who thought the Reach Star campaign was over felt that it was safe, and they could go out and press the Covenant hammer after a wave of development.

However, although this wave of raids by the Special Justice Fleet made a fuss, not only has the exchange ratio of fleet operations been good so far, but once it is about to enter the stage of ground combat, the four empires that Shinra has deployed on the Reach Star Fist Marine Division, and three UNSC ODST (Hell Paratroopers) troops transferred to Zhiyuan Star to accept Shinra's replacement.

And even though Operation Red Flag was cancelled, the second-stage Spartan soldiers who were still all assembled on the Reach Star were also a terrifying ground combat force.

At the same time, Mengsk’s friendly support came from Kopru’s veterans who fought in the trade union war and UED’s guerrilla warfare, as well as the former opponents of these Copru’s veterans, a volunteer army formed by members of the former UED expeditionary force who had been transformed by Shinra. They have also boarded the ship and set sail together with the first batch of equipment supporting UNSC, and will reach Reach Star as quickly as possible.

Along with this fleet, there were also those already idle long-haired steel bug swarm troops. After the master transferred the authority of the bug swarm to Mengsk, Mengsk only managed the bug swarm for a short period of time. After giving the worms an order not to make troubles and find a place to play by themselves, they delegated the authority to several worm queens.

Therefore, although those good baby queens with single-digit ages don't quite understand what "no troubles are allowed", they can only let themselves fly on Char and other planets that have long been occupied by the swarms and start their own lives. Entertain yourself.

Especially after Mengsk ascended to become the weakest Sarnaga in history, and the swarm merged into the network of the Holy Roman Empire, the signal transmission was not very good because of the remote location, so the few worm queens could only choose It absorbs information with a relatively small amount of text in the network.

Both Mengsk and Shinra felt that the steel worms would be useless in the future, so they put them aside and let them develop on their own. Without the correct guidance and the guidance of the strange knowledge in the empire network, these steel worms The swarm unsurprisingly grew crooked.

So much so that when Mengsk was looking for troops for the cat car, he remembered that there were still some imperial citizens who could shine, and when he was about to come to recruit troops, even the well-informed Mengsk was overwhelmed by these steel bug swarms who let themselves go. Startled.

But at this time, it’s a dish on the plate, and after entering the Shinra cake layer, Mengsk also began to be affected by the Shinra cake layer. In line with the idea that I can’t just scare me, Mengsk put those steel worms that let themselves fly The group also crammed into the expedition team.

In fact, those works that are not enough to let themselves go are not qualified to be stuffed into this huge fleet by Mengsk.

Ten newly-launched War Boss-class battleships were temporarily dispatched to escort the huge transport fleet, and the fleet began to sail to the far star.

Because of this, Lao Qian, in order to prevent the cat from finding an excuse to detain the ship, also temporarily transferred the command of the Shinra Fleet stationed in New Constantinople to Iron Arm, and then uploaded his consciousness to a On a war boss-class battleship escorting this huge transport fleet, he personally escorted these supplies to the far star.

After all, the new Constantinople is under too much pressure. Just looking at the void demon troops gathering across the wormhole every day, Lao Qian wants to see if he can find the "~" button somewhere and open a control Taiwan impulse.

Chapter 276 263 Reach Star Battle (1)

While both sides were expecting reinforcements, after all, the Covenant, which had the air supremacy because of its large number of warships, temporarily had the upper hand on the scene.

Although these Covenant battleships that broke into Reach Star did not use high-energy lasers to burn these blasphemous heretics into glass, as they usually do to UNSC colonies, in order to make the combat planet in orbit a dreadful weapon, they sent a large number of With the fire support of warships, the ground troops began to attack the cities on Reach.

Because the mass is too large, it is impossible to enter the atmosphere of Reach Star, and it is not even possible to get too close to the Iron Lord of Reach Star. For example, it can only look at the Covenant warships in the atmosphere that are playing tricks on itself. impotent rage.

Although the Iron Lord possesses powerful spiritual power, it is still too difficult to accurately destroy those Covenant warships hovering in densely populated areas at this distance.

And those heavy anti-ship missiles were not designed to be launched in the atmosphere at all. After the steel master's test launch into the atmosphere almost deviated from the equator to the Tropic of Cancer, the steel master could only stay in orbit. Staring at those Covenant warships in the atmosphere and sulking.

And after excluding the Covenant warships in orbit, the surviving UNSC warships can only stay in orbit with the Iron Lord for punishment.

These warships have launched tentative attacks on Covenant warships in the atmosphere and successfully destroyed two Covenant gunboats far from populated areas.

Then, after the Covenant launched a retaliatory bombardment on the densely populated area and destroyed more than 20 blocks in one go, the remaining UNSC fleet in orbit could only look at the Covenant warships in the atmosphere together with the Iron Master and sulk.

Although temporarily excluded from the battlefield, Iron Master and the surviving UNSC warships also prevented the Star Alliance's warships from carrying out unscrupulous ground strikes, and could only continue to parachute ground troops to the surface of Reach Star to capture Reach Star of control.

As a result, the two fleets reluctantly reached a tacit agreement to prohibit ground strikes and orbital bombing, and the UNSC and the Shinra fleet took advantage of the orbit, using naval guns to deter the Covenant warships, and the Covenant warships that actively rushed into the atmosphere used After the naval guns aimed at the densely populated area and the strange situation where the ground battlefield threatened each other, the protagonists of the battle on the Reach star temporarily became the chief infantrymen who were suffering.

Under normal conditions, the ground troops of the Reach Star would not be able to resist so many Covenant ground troops. After all, after the Special Justice Fleet forcibly descended to the surface, what the Reach Star defenders faced was not the heroic and cautious fleet before. That kind of archaeological fleet is mainly composed of Grunts and Jackals, and elites and ghost-faced beasts are the ground units of the elite assault force.

As one of the main fleets of the Star Alliance, the special justice fleet that destroyed multiple UNSC colonial planets not only has many warships and personnel, but also has many elites. When the transport plane is dropped on the ground, there will be a large number of undead chariots and a large number of saints. Beetles, elites, and ghost-faced beasts can basically only be treated as accompanying infantry.

Grunts and Gnolls have basically been reduced to the same level as carbine magazines, becoming consumables that are thrown away and occasionally recycled after use.

Although the Covenant battleships squatting above the ground troops cannot use their main and secondary guns to attack the ground, these warships can provide timely support to the ground troops with troops and equipment, while those warships that were originally used to deal with UNSC missiles The close-in defense facilities can also be used quietly for ground support.

Not only that, the large number of banshees also drove the UNSC's pelican transport planes out of the battlefield, and these roaring gods of death caused heavy casualties to the UNSC's ground troops.

However, the commander of the Special Justice Fleet, Till Vadami, was still more and more frightened, not only because the tenacity of the UNSC ground troops far exceeded expectations, but also because a large number of new units appeared on the battlefield.

Those green demons once inflicted heavy casualties on the Covenant troops and stuffed the seeds of fear into the consciousness of the Covenant. Fortunately, the number of those demons has always been small.

So although these demons can win most of the battles they participate in, it is difficult to win a battle, let alone a war.

But now, there are a lot of "demons" on this planet. Although these "demons" are wearing black armor, their fighting style is also the same as that of the green "demons" left by the Star Alliance for nearly 30 years. The impression I got was different, but this kind of terrifying killing efficiency was only comparable to those green "demons".

Till Vadami felt as if he had entered a nightmare from which he could not wake up.

At the same time, in the UNSC command, the irritable Cat Che secretly scolded his mother in his heart, because Shinra's starship basically didn't need to break into the atmosphere to fight.

Therefore, Shinra's stealth PDF-class frigates, especially the stealth PDF-class frigates equipped with heavy weapon pods, do not have the ability to fight in the atmosphere. These warships are designed to raid important space targets and special operations. The addition of heavy weapon pods leads to overweight, which causes their attitude nozzles and main engines to basically have no way to allow them to fly in the atmosphere.

Especially for those expensive optical coatings, after the friction of entering and leaving the atmosphere, basically they can only be returned to the factory to re-spray and adjust this sophisticated optical equipment again, otherwise the warship will lose the invisibility it depends on for survival ability.

So now the cat car can only allow half of the Shinra Forbidden Army to take the airborne pod directly and airdrop to the surface of the Zhiyuan star to support the battle.

At the same time, I can only go to the science ship that landed on the Reach Star, to activate the gadget I made to see if I can bring some more surprises to the Star Alliance.

But now there is no air supremacy, ground armor power is basically free, no matter if it is a Scorpio tank or a brown bear cannon, as long as they dare to fire, they will be blown into a ball of scrap iron by those banshees like flies in the sky, resulting in the current battlefield on the ground. Combat is basically a battle between the Shinra Marines and the UNSC's elite infantry units.

After the chaos of the early days of the battle, a commando team of Shinra Marines and ODST ODST paratroopers is on the battlefield as firefighters.

The Shinra Marine Corps, which relied on jetpacks to jump forward, and the hell paratroopers who took the Warthog assault vehicle like a large beach car, quickly turned around every gap on the battlefield, and sent those Covenant soldiers who broke through the line of defense to the ground. Then get out from the defense line, but these elite soldiers are not able to complete their tasks every time.

Lieutenant Carl Freeman of the 105th Battalion of the 5th Expeditionary Division, carrying his MA-[-] assault rifle, is carrying his MA-[-] assault rifle from his warthog, which was overturned by the explosion and was emitting black smoke from the chassis. Get out of the car.

Just over ten seconds ago, when he was sitting in the co-pilot of the Warthog assault vehicle, Karl was on the radio after seeing the Banshee fighter jets diving towards his team, and asked his boys to disperse the formation. After a little more openness.

A shell that flew from nowhere exploded next to the Warthog assault vehicle that Karl was riding on. The air wave caused by the explosion caused the three-ton armed assault vehicle to volley for a week and a half. Carl, along with his staff sergeant and medic, were slammed to the ground.

The staff sergeant was thrown out by the warthog when the warthog made its first turn in the air, and now it looks like a burnt toy soldier, with only the upper half of its body falling not far from Karl. The second half of it has disappeared.

The other occupant in the car, the military doctor of Karl's platoon, failed to adjust his posture when the Warthog fell down, and his upper body was crushed by the machine gun in the back seat.

When Carl climbed out of the upside-down warthog, the poor guy's fingers still seemed to be numb like those dissected frogs in science class.

But now Karl can no longer care about lamenting his good luck or bad luck, because on the line of defense he was ordered to lead a team to block, there are three huge scarabs of the Star Alliance, like ant-eaters walking in an anthill Beasts generally sweep the entire front.

The missiles and intensive firepower fired by those advancing Warthog assault vehicles continued to explode on the scarab's solid armor, but they were unable to stop the advancement of these mechanical giants. From time to time, a Warthog assault vehicle was attacked by the Scarab. What the Beetle's fire had struck left behind was only a blazing mass of twisted metal that testified to the presence of those brave warriors.

"Spread! Scatter! Watch out for their firepower! Damn it!"

Karl saw that just as he was shouting, the Shinra Marines equipped with jetpacks first used the heavy guns they carried to launch a counterattack against the three scarabs with a rain-like barrage, just like It is the soldier ants in the ant nest that cannot threaten the anteater like that.

The rain of bullets fired by these Shinra marines did not cause damage to the three scarabs except for scratches on the armor plates. After discovering this, those Shinra marines threw He put down the heavy gun in his hand and launched a surprise attack on the three scarabs.

Some Shinra Marines were like mortar shells. After jumping from the ground, accompanied by the long wake of the jetpack, they smashed the three huge scarabs from the air.

Then, under the fire of the anti-aircraft artillery mounted on the scarab, it turned into several clusters of fireworks that exploded in the air.

Just when those marines jumped high, the other Shinra marines stuck to the ground, like frightened cockroaches, and rushed towards the three scarabs.

Then, when approaching the three scarabs, they were hit and shot by the elite fighters of the Covenant Alliance who had lifted their invisibility. Most of the Shinra marines fell on the spot, and a small number of marines also approached the accompanying scarabs. After the advancing elite fighters, use the plasma flamethrower on the jib to fight with those nimble elite fighters.

And just when the attack launched by the Shinra Marines failed, several warthog chariots poking their heads out in the distance trying to surprise the Scarab were named one by one by the banshee fighter jets that fell from the sky, and turned into several A mass of burning wreckage.

However, the Banshee fighter plane couldn't please it. When it finished the dive and pulled up again, several missiles caught up with the fighter plane, which had slowed down a lot, turning him into a burning ball Falling scrap metal.

And those hell paratroopers under their own hands, either abandoned their vehicles and were suppressed behind the burning wreckage on the battlefield, or in the huge crater, or became part of the burning wreckage and crater .

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Squatting in place, waiting for the Covenant to kick your ass?!"

After watching his remaining subordinates being suppressed and unable to move, Karl, who had already observed the battlefield environment, ran quickly with his MA-5 rifle under the cover of the wreckage.

First passed through the wreckage of a Scorpion tank, and then with the help of half the fuselage of a Banshee fighter to avoid the strafing fire of a scarab in the distance, Karl accelerated and rushed into a tank with a sliding shovel. In the crater.

After kicking the buttocks of two paratroopers who were hiding in the crater and shooting black guns, Carl jumped out of the crater with the two bad guys who touched the heads of four elite soldiers in the chaos.

Just when they ran out of the crater for two steps, another shell hit the crater where they were staying just now, and the blast wave first threw the three unlucky people not far away. Like tombstones inserted behind the wings of the Pelican transport plane on the ground, gravel and dirt rained down on the helmets and armor of the three unlucky guys, burying them shallowly in the soil.

"Are you all right?"

After Karl lifted the floating soil and got out of the ground, he dug out one of his subordinates from the soil beside him. The hell paratrooper shook his head and gave Karl a thumbs up, saying that he was fine, Then he began to scrape the floating soil beside him, trying to find another teammate of his, as well as the weapon that he dropped due to the shock wave of the explosion.

Soon they dug out another hell paratrooper who left the crater with them from the floating soil on the side. .

After being blown away by the shock wave of the explosion, the Hell paratrooper hit the barrel of the nose machine gun dropped by the Pelican transport plane. The barrel of the M370 automatic gun penetrated his armor on the spot and passed through his left breast.

After Carl sighed in his heart, he took off the paratrooper's ammunition bag, threw it to another paratrooper, and pushed a handful of floating soil to cover the paratrooper's body again.

The dead can rest, but the living continue to fight.

After stuffing the unearthed MA-5 assault rifle to another paratrooper who was obviously depressed, Karl took out his pistol, patted the paratrooper on the shoulder and motioned him to follow him, and then continued to exchange bullets and Run on the battlefield where the plasma beams fly together.

Chapter 277 264 Reach Star Battle (2)

"Counterattack! Counterattack! Drive those beasts back!"

After a few Banshee jets flew over Cal's head, with explosions raining rocks, Cal, who had been fighting in the line of fire for three weeks and gaunt through every pore of his face, came out of the bunker. He poked his head out, looked at the swarming protoss soldiers, and ordered those UNSC soldiers who had just ejected their heads from the bunker to open fire.

The battle developed into what it is now, which Karl had never expected.

At the beginning, Karl was only ordered to lead his platoon and the Shinra Marine platoon to seal the gap caused by the three Covenant Scarabs.

Hold the battle line until the follow-up UNSC Marines arrive, and then withdraw to the rear to rest and wait for the next mission after the follow-up troops arrive.

However, with the change of the battle line, as well as the UNSC and Shinra elite forces on both sides of this front line, the troops led by the Shinra Imperial Army and Spartan soldiers launched an unstoppable pincer offensive, penetrating both sides of the battle line The Covenant forces and began to develop in depth.

However, the Covenant failed to use warships to attack the ground. After the three Covenant CPV-class heavy destroyers and two CRS-class light cruisers that launched the ground attack were sunk in orbital bombing, the Covenant stopped this kind of attack. Directly use the firepower of warships to carry out the task of striking the ground.

The Star Alliance, on the other hand, began to use these warships to flexibly mobilize their troops, trying to launch a new wave of offensives on the flanks of the two UNSC attacking spearheads, and in turn surrounded and wiped out the two elite UNSC troops.

As a result, the already precarious front where Karl was located suddenly became one of the focal points of the battlefield.

Both the Star Alliance and the UNSC are frantically increasing their troops to this front. The UNSC's combat command smashed the last few F-41E broadsword fighter jets in its hands on this front, trying to attack at least two of the spearheads. Maintain air supremacy in this section of airspace until the siege is complete, or at least prevent the Covenant's endo-atmospheric aircraft from freely shitting on their ground troops.

At the same time, the ground troops of both sides are frantically gathering here. The Covenant troop carriers, escorted by Banshee fighter jets, land like hail on the ground of Reach Star to deliver reinforcements to the ground troops.

The UNSC is also constantly sending more reinforcements. The wild boars and M650 mammoths have continuously sent a large number of UNSC marines and a small number of Hell parachute combat platoons to the battlefield.

The three scarabs that were initially used by the Covenant to break through the battle line became the strongest firepower output point of the Covenant on this battlefield after the walking device was destroyed by the self-destruct of the Shinra Marine Corps. UNSC armored soldiers buried in their steel graves.

As the battle intensified, the Covenant even let two SDV-class gunboats crash-land directly on the land of Reach Star, providing a fulcrum for the attack of the ground forces.

It's just that under the heroic attack of the UNSC pilots, the two SDV-class gunboats did not play the role of the offensive fulcrum expected by the Covenant commander.

On the contrary, after the two SDV-class gunboats were shot down, the flames in the gunboats had not been extinguished, and when they might explode again at any time, Lieutenant Karl immediately led a temporary commando composed of three remnants of the Hell Paratroopers combat platoon spontaneously. , captured one of the gunboats.

Immediately after Lieutenant Karl's ODST commando captured the wreck of the gunship, the UNSC field commander deployed a Scorpion battle platoon and three M9 Werewolf anti-aircraft tanks there, and used the Covenant gunboat as a One of the fulcrums of the UNSC on this battlefield

Due to the relatively fragile armor of the Covenant ground vehicles, once those Covenant vehicles try to bypass the wreckage of the gunboat and advance in depth, the Scorpion tanks deployed here will open the Covenant cans without hesitation. As for the frontal attack, they had no choice but to get the armor of the gunboat. Now that most of the scarabs had been put on the battlefield, unless the firepower of the battleship was used, the Covenant had nothing to do with the wreckage of the gunboat for the time being.

So when the left and right flanks of blocking the attacking spearhead of the UNSC ground forces were on the verge of failure, the commander of the Covenant did not hesitate to order the Covenant troops on this battlefield to rush at all costs before the UNSC's attacking spearhead closed. , Break through the defense line deployed by UNSC here, and in turn surround the two offensive spearheads of UNSC.

Once the two UNSC attacking spearhead troops were surrounded, now that they had lost their air supremacy, no matter how tenaciously they fought, the only thing waiting for them was the fate of being annihilated.

So a large number of Grunts and Gnolls, driven by the fighting elites and ghost-faced beasts, began to launch a mighty charge on the wreckage of the gunboat stationed by Lieutenant Karl along with the artillery fire of the Wraith Chariot.

Before launching the charge, the Covenant sent a large number of Banshee fighters to try to open the way for the ground troops with aerial fire, but almost immediately, the fearless pilots of the UNSC rushed their fighters into the battlefield.

Although the Banshee fighters have better performance, the proven UNSC flying wing has more sophisticated tactics, more experienced pilots, and at least more numbers on this battlefield.
