Chapter 452: Robot Servant Leads the Way
The video recording of Bai'e's sudden attack and beheading of the Thunder Beast was almost watched over and over by every pilot in their mecha company. The Thunder Beast was an opponent that every pilot in their mecha company had to face in this battle. The "successful experience" that the predecessors had had was undoubtedly a compulsory course for their mecha company to graduate.
As the current captain of the mecha company, Enor remembered every move of Bai'e in his heart. Even if he regarded Bai'e as a goal that he must surpass, imitation was essential before surpassing.
Facing the Thunder Beast that was charging, the captain's machine almost broke away from the endless low-level insect tide in the same way, carrying a lot of low-level insects that forced themselves to "get on board", and the entire mecha quickly approached a dangerous distance.
Raising his hand and slashing, another artillery insect that was passing by was immediately cut in two.
The momentum did not decrease, and continued to slash at the lower end of the Thunder Beast's huge body.
The carapace of the Thunder Beast, as thick as a hill, is unmatched in defense. Only their lower bodies cannot have too thick chitinous bone armor for mobility.
However, even without the lower limb bone armor to strengthen defense, the defense was not instantly broken by the sword slashed by Enor and Rose.
Without the two rounds of bombing by the rocket cluster at that time, the relatively fragile lower body defense of the Thunder Beast was not as fragile as imagined.
However, in the tactical discussions within the mecha company, these were all expected to happen.
But it doesn't matter. The mecha's own extreme output capacity is more than enough to deal with a Thunder Beast. As long as it can be operated, there is always a chance.
The sword was ineffective, and the captain's machine rolled sideways and stuffed a bunch of cluster bombs under the Thunder Beast's body.
The effect of the rocket cluster bombing can also be simulated by the mecha.
The bombs placed close to the face can be exploded more accurately. The body of the giant beast was shaken violently by a series of explosions, but the biological cannon barrel belonging to the symbiotic creature on its back was not affected. The two shells that were charged and fired were still fired violently, but because the body of the giant beast itself was shaken, the direction of the firing was greatly deviated.
The shells missed, but it was a lucky coincidence.
A mecha that was trapped in the sea of insects and difficult to escape due to its slow movement was dealing with countless insects climbing up along the body. When it looked up, it saw two round spherical shells coming straight to its face.
"Boom!"
The plate armor on the chest of the mecha is the part where the cockpit is located, and it is also the place with the strongest defense.
But facing the rupture cannon of the thunder beast, it still seems vulnerable.
It broke instantly.
The broken body fragments were thrown all over the sky, and the entire mecha was almost blown off from it, and the upper body was shaky.
After losing the pilot's control, the huge body fell to the direction behind it, and was instantly submerged by countless insects, completely becoming part of the terrain.
It is not easy to cross the sea of insects and rush to the thunder beast. Not all pilots can do the instantaneous strong rush like Bai'er.
The power of the mecha is indeed great, but in complex situations, the pilot's control commands often cause conflicts between the output commands and the actual situation due to the vague perception of feedback.
The direct consequence is that it is left in the endless sea of insects. Those insects will quickly crawl all over the mecha like mad dogs. Even if it cannot break the defense, the mecha will find it difficult to advance for a while.
Although the plan allows four or five mechas to deal with a thunder beast at the same time, this ideal picture is difficult to achieve directly in reality.
And the mechas that successfully rushed to the face of the thunder beast with less than two dozen people still need to face the three "insect nest guards" who have been guarding there for a long time.
The insect nest guards, like giant apes, waved a pair of arms like giant hammers, waiting for the opportunity to suddenly smash the front of the charging mecha.
The group of pilots who rushed forward had reacted very quickly and used the alloy shield attached to the mecha to push up at the first time, but unfortunately the hammer of the "Hive Guard" was as powerful as the cannon of the thunder beast.
The alloy shield was instantly shattered into pieces, and the mechanical arm supporting it was completely twisted and broken under a piercing noise.
The heavy hammer from another Hive Guard hit the middle part of the mecha from the side, and the seemingly powerful mecha lost all its combat capabilities in an instant under the joint efforts of the two "Hive Guards".
With this level of damage, the mecha servants couldn't even save it.
The mecha is indeed the most powerful technological weapon that human cities can use to amplify the ability of individual soldiers, but it is still impossible for it to dominate the natural world relying only on the mechanical qualities of the mecha itself.
Facing the elite behemoths of the Zerg, pilots who have not fully exerted the ability of the mecha are almost no match for them.
"Rescue! Rescue!"
The voices of many mecha servants were in chaos.
Some mechas were trapped in the sea of insects, and some fell in front of the thunder beast.
As long as the pilots were still there, they would ignore any difficulties and obstacles that might be encountered in the process, and strongly demanded that the mecha servants responsible for their mechas must arrive as soon as possible for emergency repairs.
This is the responsibility of the mecha servants, and no one will feel sorry for the sacrifice of the mecha servants.
Bai'er's mecha servant repair car remained silent.
The W0721 he was responsible for was still fighting on the front line and had not suffered any damage for the time being, so their group did not have any tasks that had to be performed for the time being.
"Request for support! Request for support!"
The message for help flew across the voice channel. As the company commander, Enor did not forget to observe the situation of his teammates while besieging and killing the thunder beast he had selected.
Overviewing the battle information, he responded quickly, "All the mechas that do not need to be repaired temporarily should repair the surrounding mechas that can be repaired, and make sure they can restore their combat capabilities as soon as possible."
Bai'e, who had been sitting quietly in the back seat of the car, narrowed his eyes and patted the shoulder of the driver in the front seat, "Let's go."
The driver was slightly stunned, "Where to go?"
Bai'e pointed directly at a mecha that was trapped in the sea of insects and had a small fault due to line damage.
The repair of the seriously injured mecha can only restore their basic mobility to preserve the main body of the mecha. The lightly injured mecha can only join the battle on the front line as soon as possible after repair.
If you want to win this battle, you can't just think about preserving assets. Ensuring the offensive is what humans need to do most at the moment.
Looking at the dense tide of insects in front of him, the insects that were blocked by the main battle formation were baring their fangs and claws at him, and the driver felt a chill.
Just wandering on the edge of the confrontation line has exhausted all his courage, and now he is asked to rush in...
"Are you really going?"
There are obviously two injured mechas behind...
Bai'e didn't care about him, but just gave a final order, "I'll clear the way for you, just kill them!"
He then picked up another machine gun that his teammates didn't use, and turned over and got out of the open window.
Standing high on the carriage, Bai'e felt excited when he saw the overwhelming sea of insects in front of him.
The last time he faced the sea of insects, he was just a floating duckweed in the troubled times, and he could only rely on luck to survive.
And now, he, a floating duckweed that appeared inexplicably in this world, has the capital to declare war on this world.
["Gun Fighting Technique", start! ]
"Bang Bang!" Stepping on the roof of the car twice, Bai'e urged the driver to act quickly.
The driver who received the signal looked at his companion on the passenger seat next to him, gritted his teeth, and suddenly stepped on the accelerator.
"Buzz!"
The wheels kicked up the sand and rushed to the battle line in an instant.
"Da da da da da!"
The endless barrage instantly overturned every insect blocking the road ahead. Even the mantis insect that was difficult to defeat in the eyes of a single soldier in the past was shot into a sieve by Bai'er's series of bullets.
As the power of psychic energy became stronger and stronger, the overflowing psychic energy could naturally attach to the bullets with extremely fast firing speed, adding more psychic damage and impact to ordinary machine gun bullets.
Watching a mantis insect blocking the road ahead with its double blade arms spread out like a hunting posture, the driver's mind went blank as he stepped on the accelerator.
The extreme fear made it difficult for him to even dodge, but the next moment the arrogant mantis insect fell stiffly on the spot and was easily crushed by the rolling wheels.
The consciousness that was late to realize was that a series of bullets tore the chitinous carapace on the back of the mantis insect just before the vehicle arrived. The broken carapace splashed along with body fluids and tissues, and the flesh flew everywhere.
"Boom!"
The maintenance vehicle that ran over the mantis insect corpse bounced high and fell heavily.
The violent vibration finally made the two mechanical servants in the car come out of the extreme mental tension. The fallen mantis insect corpse made them suddenly recall the heartfelt sense of security that "Captain Bai" could bring to people.
The rumors in the military district were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Captain Bai, who could freely roam in the large-scale battle formations of the three main enemies of mankind, insects, orcs, and intelligent machines, was like a god of war.
Sitting in a car with such a person, even if you rush directly into the inside of the insect nest, you can probably get out of it unscathed, right?
In extreme circumstances, boundless fear instantly turned into boundless faith, and the top of your head was always shining like a dazzling sun.
["Lucky Shot" Charge +10. 】
"Pay attention to cover the servitor maintenance vehicle!" The command system of the main battle organization also issued a synchronous order.
The servitor's maintenance vehicle is an outlier on the battlefield. The huge mechanical arm mounted on the huge rear compartment for repairing the mecha is particularly eye-catching. All nearby soldiers can capture the existence of this alien vehicle at the first time.
"Cover friendly forces!" The captain of a special team, who was concerned about the order in his heart, drove the multi-functional infantry fighting vehicle that had just been rescued and wanted to rush into the insect nest before the repair vehicle rushed over, intending to open up a way for the vehicle that was going to rescue the mecha.
However, a huge black shadow passed by, and after the roar of the engine, only the dust was raised in the sky.
The captain of the special forces team, who stepped on the accelerator but failed to rush into the sea of insects before the maintenance vehicle, could only look at the vehicle with a sad face, "Why are you so anxious? Are you rushing to die?"
However, in front of the maintenance vehicle, the endless sea of insects seemed to be welcoming its king. All the insects along the road fell stiffly in front of the maintenance vehicle, and the bodies of the insects covered the ground.
"Da da da da!"
The unique gunshots broke into the ears of the captain of the special forces team. After the vehicle went away, he saw the back of a soldier holding two guns and wearing a servitor uniform standing on the roof of the maintenance vehicle.
"..."
"???"
When will such a fierce man be included in the establishment of servitors?
Am I hallucinating or are the brains of those leaders above eaten by insects?
Shaking his head, the captain of the special forces team watched the maintenance vehicle go deep into the sea of insects, and the bloody road was gradually submerged by the fierce insects that surged up again.
"Well..."
The captain of the special forces team laughed at himself and communicated helplessly with the team members in the voice.
"...We are not needed."
The main battle formation was advancing with difficulty on the front line, and a mechanical servant maintenance vehicle rushed in as soon as it was said.
Or consider letting the two exchange combat targets?
...
The officers sitting in the command vehicle in the rear looked at the real-time shooting of the battlefield in front, and their faces were a little solemn.
The atmosphere in the car was heavy as ink, and almost no one dared to break this dead silence.
After all, someone couldn't suppress his worries, "I can't advance..."
"The performance is not as good as last time..."
The rear of the human battlefield has become riddled with holes under the joint attack of the sandworms that appear from time to time and the newly appeared thunder beasts.
The posture of the front line is still good, but the midfield and backfield have been almost destroyed.
The still mysterious master has not yet appeared, and the thunder beast alone has made the human army feel absolutely difficult.
The mecha company that was highly expected has not become a sharp knife to quickly break through the battlefield.
"No way, they are all newcomers."
In order to quickly restore the organization, the current regular pilots have actually lowered a certain selection standard.
Although the number of people has barely restored the past organization, this batch of regular pilots is definitely not as reliable as the previous batch of regular pilots in terms of strength and experience.
Even breaking through the sea of insects has become a difficult problem for them, not to mention killing the thunder beast directly and beheading it directly.
"Or... let the people of the Mechanical Court go directly?" Someone suggested.
However, he was refuted in an instant, "No! They are our last trump card, specially sent to deal with the Overlord. Let them go now. If something unexpected happens, it will be a pity to fail when facing the Overlord. It's not the last moment yet, we can trust Hamilton's pilots for a while!"
"But..."
Looking at the dozens of mechas trapped in the sea of insects on the screen, many officers were silent.
If they can't even get through the sea of insects, how can they kill the thunder beasts?
If the thunder beasts are not killed, the rear of the human army will be blown into a sieve.
"Look! The mechas are starting to advance!"
Suddenly, an officer pointed excitedly at one of the blurred pictures.
"It seems that the pilots of our mecha company have also adapted to the rhythm of the battlefield."
"But why do I see a small black dot in front of the mecha... What is that?"
