Chapter 569 The Commander-in-Chief Is Warming Up

The army advanced directly to a position almost close to the hive.

The insect blanket was laid all the way, and the ecology on it was completely different from the bombed land outside, and it was divided into a clearly visible dividing line at the edge.

The army that came from afar began to deploy its front line, and when it noticed the enemy's hive, insects of all sizes began to emerge from all over the place to wait for it.

Under the command of the senior insects of the node commander, no matter how eager the insects that smelled the smell of flesh and blood were, they were still pressed firmly in place and motionless, waving their teeth in vain.

Two members of the messenger team, who were authorized by the high-level officials of Blackwater City, swept through the front, middle and rear armies of Blackwater City all the way, and finally returned to the armored vehicle at the end of the rear army.

The returning messenger team members looked a little strange.

"What did you find? If you have something to say, just say it. Facing the insects, all of us humans will always be on the same front." The captain, who noticed the abnormality of the team members, waved his hand generously, indicating that the team members had something to say.

The two messengers who went out to watch the army looked at each other, and one of them swallowed his saliva and said boldly: "We see that our army does not seem to have too many heavy firepower equipment?"

To deal with insects, don't we use heavy firepower to directly clean up the ground, destroy at least 80% of its manpower, and then let the infantry charge face to face and clean up the mess.

The two insect nests that their imperial capital took down were directly blocked by overwhelming firepower in the mouth of the insect nest.

If it weren't for the core area of ​​the insect nest, including some powerful units that have the ability to ignore artillery fire, they would have wanted to directly blow up all the insects from a distance!

Even so, the insects who also have long-range counterattack means can also cause terrible damage to their human army.

In the era without the Internet network including related intelligent technology, the coverage distance of artillery fire is limited.

When humans can hit insects, insects can also hit humans.

It is precisely because of this that the efficiency of the imperial capital in killing insect nests is limited by this.

With so many artillery shells and munitions fired, it will take time to replenish them, right?

Including the various lost manpower and materials, it takes a certain amount of time to recuperate before launching the next campaign against the insect nest.

And now, this Blackwater City wants to take down an insect nest of the same size with far less long-range heavy firepower equipment than their imperial capital... Isn't it a bit unrealistic?

If the initial expectation for Blackwater City was that the battle would be a victory if every soldier could plant the flag, now they think that the Blackwater City army can escape alive with some important generals, which is already a victory.

This is too different from the firepower required by the standard answer...

The Blackwater City high-level officials who heard this in the car were silent for a moment.

The people in the messenger team were actually right. This time, the heavy firepower prepared by their Blackwater City was indeed not much.

Not to mention compared with the scale of the imperial capital, even compared with the previous two attacks, it was far inferior.

This is also a helpless thing, after all, the previous two attacks almost emptied all the heavy firepower of Blackwater City.

The production capacity of their Blackwater City is limited. It is normal that the number of newly produced weapons is not satisfactory after a short period of time.

But at this moment, they can never say that they have launched two full-scale attacks on the hive, which led to heavy firepower loss.

So they just gritted their teeth and replied: "These are enough."

Is it really enough? No one knows.

In fact, they have also worried about this problem, so they did not arbitrarily give General Bai'e, who is fully responsible for this expedition, a time they set, but left the choice to the other party to make the decision.

But General Bai'e said that it only takes five days, so naturally we can only believe him.

Although General Bai'e's performance in dealing with people is not satisfactory, in terms of fighting, General Bai'e has never disappointed people.

After a short silence, an old man from the Senate had a mysterious smile full of confidence on his face, "Dear envoys, please be patient, we... just watch."

"..."

The messenger team and others stopped talking.

The other party has said so, and it would be impolite to question it again.

Just looking at each other, there were some strange emotions flowing.

Where does Blackwater City's confidence come from?

In terms of firepower, it can't be compared.

In terms of equipment... those dozens of tall iron shells are certainly worth seeing, but there is still a certain gap from the advanced models of their imperial capital in terms of technology.

Apart from one of the leading mechas, the other mechas are much less smooth in terms of action than those of the imperial capital.

Or... personnel?

How big can the gap between elite soldiers be?

The gap in high-end combat power... Is there anyone who is more powerful than the "God of War" of their imperial capital?

From any perspective, the configuration of Blackwater City is not good!

With a lot of doubts in his mind, the messenger finally saw the front picture taken by the drone, where a sea of ​​countless insects gathered and rushed towards the army line of Blackwater City.

Endless insects were like a dark tide, rushing towards the direction of the camera unstoppably.

No matter how many times I have seen this scene, I still feel terrified.

The violent and bloodthirsty aura is thousands of meters away, but it seems to be right in front of me, rushing towards me!

"Swish, swish, swish!"

The heavy firepower weapons in the middle and rear army opened fire one after another, and various missiles crossed the sky in arcs and fell into the seemingly endless sea of ​​insects.

Even though the number of weapons arrays was much sparser, they also launched a not infrequent map bombing.

Unlike the previous two attacks, this time the army was under the command of Bai Er and went all out.

Only a quick attack can minimize the loss of one's own soldiers.

Watching those missile vehicles almost blasting out the limited number of weapons they brought, without considering the possibility of encountering stronger enemies later, the five messenger team members sitting in the rear armored vehicle almost laughed out loud.

They even wanted to pick up the people in their car and run away as soon as possible to avoid being bitten by the counterattacking insects.

‘Have these people in Blackwater City never hurt these insects? ’

You must know that the main force of insects has never been these seemingly numerous but actually cannon fodder worker insects, bee insects, and mantis insects.

If you just think that this low-level sea of ​​worms is the full strength of the worms and use all your firepower to smash it, then there is no need to go on with this expedition.

Just now, I was only half-believing and half-doubting that Blackwater City has its own special tactics or special understanding.

Now it seems that they are just country bumpkins who have never fought a decisive battle with the worms!

This is not how you fight worms.

You need to keep enough reserve firepower to deal with the big guys that appear behind, deploy super-strong individual soldiers with the ability to advance and entangle, and a large number of elite soldiers who can stabilize the military formation of the middle and rear army.

Only the soldiers who rush to the front line to fill the line have the qualification to be mediocre.

At present, Blackwater City, except for the last one, probably has no other one, right?

It is better to withdraw as soon as possible.

But seeing that a group of high-level officials of Blackwater City were staring at the battlefield on the live broadcast screen with interest, the five messengers could only suppress the desire to express their personal opinions.

Anyway, the armored vehicles they were in were at the rear of the rear army. Even if the whole army was annihilated, those insects could not bite their heads.

Let these country bumpkins learn more about the gap in strength between their city and the imperial capital.

Only in this way, when the imperial capital's army may come to help in the future, can everyone in this city join the new empire wholeheartedly and devote all their faith to becoming a screw of the empire.

As consciousness flew, the battle line in the live broadcast screen pushed forward all the way.

The order received by the artillery personnel in the rear was to use up the ammunition they carried as quickly as possible. Anyone who could not use up the ammunition would be shot on the spot.

Under this order, every gun and every rocket vehicle tried their best to shoot all the ammunition carried on the vehicle at the Zerg camp.

As the artillery fire flew, countless insect limbs and body fluids flew all over the sky.

Human tanks, armed infantry vehicles, etc. used this to advance quickly. At the beginning of the battle, they had already pushed the battle line to a dangerous distance close to the core of the Zerg nest.

"Good! Good fight!" In the armored vehicles, some high-ranking city officials who were also on the battlefield for the first time clenched their fists and were somewhat excited.

Humans should fight against insects in this way, advancing all the way.

The messenger captain sneered secretly, without making any comments.

The current arrogance will be paid with life!

Sure enough!

As the human army advanced, the low-level insect sea was suppressed back to its hometown by artillery fire before it could even push out.

The giant beast that might have planned to wait and see for a while began to show its figure.

The heavy gun barrel was brewing a fatal attack, aiming at the vulnerable abdomen behind the human position from a distance.

The human front line advanced too fast, so that the sandworm troops had not yet reached the designated position, and the direct firing would not be profitable enough.

It was waiting for the sandworms that drilled into the ground, and cooperated with the chaos of the bombing to make a big fuss behind the human army.

Seeing that the insect called "thunder beast" that appeared in the drone monitoring screen began to brew an attack, the messenger and others subconsciously looked around, wanting to see some panic on the faces of these ignorant black water rural and urban barbarians.

But unfortunately, whether they were frightened or had never seen anything, these city executives of Blackwater City had no reaction at all to the newly appeared "Thunder Beast" or even the three red "Hive Guards" that appeared behind the Thunder Beast.

They just stared at their own army in the picture, and they didn't know what they were waiting for?

Waiting to die?

The messenger captain couldn't help but imagine this in his heart.

At least four Thunder Beasts and three Hive Guards.

The army that has never seen this kind of insect will definitely suffer a great loss at their hands!

Even when their imperial capital first encountered this kind of behemoth, they lost a lot of people.

How can you Blackwater City deal with it?

The next moment, he knew what these people were waiting for-

A blue and white mecha! Stride out from the front army array.

The messenger captain remembered him! He was the leader of the Blackwater City mecha armed forces, and the only mecha armed that he felt was still somewhat smooth on the road.

He took action!

He was going to lead the mecha troops to charge and decapitate? !

It seemed like the wisest choice.

It was also the response measure taken by their imperial capital when they first encountered this kind of giant beast.

It can only be said that Blackwater City, as a city, has some background.

But not much...

With only a dozen mechas in total, they want to break through the insect sea and the protection of three insect nest guards to forcibly behead the thunder beast?

Dreaming... No!

"Not a team!" The five-member team of messengers watching the live broadcast widened their eyes.

"It's... one!"

"Is he crazy?"

When the mecha crossed the battle line alone and rushed into the depths of the insect sea, the captain of the messenger could no longer suppress the desire to complain in his heart, "Is your commander crazy? Isn't this sending him to die?!"

Although the mecha armed forces of dozens of units are only average for the imperial capital, they are the strongest organization that Blackwater City can show here.

Even if they can't win, at least they can be a little interesting.

But there is only one... Isn't this sending him to die? !

"Fuck! The flag is also in his hand!" Another messenger saw the Sky Eagle flag held tightly in the hand of the mecha, and couldn't help but complain, "It's okay to send people to die, but what's the point of letting the person holding the flag go to die?"

The Sky Eagle flag is the faith of the imperial soldiers.

The fall of faith will have a huge impact on the morale of the entire army.

What are the people in Blackwater City thinking? !

From top to bottom, no one has a normal brain.

The superior dares to give any order, and the soldiers dare to listen to any order.

Isn't this just throwing food into the mouths of insects?

As human beings, the messenger and others really can't stand the people of Blackwater City throwing their lives and wasting supplies like this.

After merging into the new empire, won't the resources wasted now be the resources of the new empire? !

"Let your commander give the order to retreat! This battle can't be fought." The captain of the messenger stood up and made a serious proposal.

However, the old man he was talking to just stared at the screen intently, and replied without blinking: "That's the commander."

"..."

"..."

In the messenger team, there was a dead silence.

After a while, he turned around mechanically and looked at the largest screen behind him that was broadcasting live.

Looking at the huge blue and white machine striding over the sea of ​​insects, the messenger captain swallowed hard, and then shouted in a bit of collapse, "How can a commander charge into the battle like this?!"

It's not enough to let your subordinates die, you must die yourself to be satisfied, right? !

How can you fight against insects like this?

No! Since ancient times, there has never been a battle in which the commander of an army gave up like this? !
