From Cannon Fodder to Sweeping Across Thousands of Stars

Chapter 103 HCP Stands Tall on the Earth

At the same time that the psychic shock exploded, the swarm drones automatically divided into several groups and flew towards their respective targets based on Amber's previous lock on the remaining "Holy Spirits" in mid-air.

When Amber was wearing a psychic shield, using the 12mm Gauss machine gun and the 'Form Breaking Song' triple grenade on her legs, she started killing the Imperial defenders around the impact point who had not yet recovered.

The swarm of drones also approached their target.

The 7mm gunpowder kinetic energy weapons mounted under these small things swept over weak points such as the Holy Spirit's external sensors and mechanical foot joints.

The cartridge-type ammunition supply allows these little things to carry 120 rounds of ammunition at a time while maintaining their size, which is enough for them to complete a round of strikes.

Only a wealthy country like the Star Dragon Empire would equip swarm drones, which are basically consumables, with sophisticated gadgets like explosive warheads.

Under the swarm's fire, although the armor plate of the vehicle body was still unable to be penetrated for a while, the shock wave and fragments caused by the warhead explosion quickly disabled the Holy Spirit's external sensor.

No matter how designers design or rack their brains to make the sensor component's bomb-receiving area smaller.

Without the protection of a deflection force field, these delicate components are still fragile after being hit directly.

When the Holy Spirit light multi-legged chariots on the bridge defense became blind, the driver inside had to open the emergency observation port for observation.

The swarms gathered around Amber again and began attacking the nearby surviving orbital paratroopers.

Even if some of the soldiers quickly hid behind a bunker after being attacked, with the help of Lilith, these soldiers had actually been marked out.

So before they could lean out from behind the bunker to fight back, several drones would circle directly behind the bunker and fire in their faces.

While Amber commanded the swarm to drive Wushuang, completely disrupting the bridge defense, other units of the assault team also rushed up with sparks and lightning.

Without the support of other heavy units, multi-legged combat vehicles and orbital paratroopers alone could not stop Amber's mixed commando team.

Just as Amber told the armored vehicle not to put down the infantry, but to continue charging towards Gnaku, an urgent warning from friendly forces was suddenly received on the communication channel:

"Attention, assault team! Two Imperial HCPs have broken through the defense line and are approaching you at high speed! Repeat"

"Fuck, why was it broken through so quickly?"

To be honest, Amber was sweating a little when she heard the news.

If there is only one HCP, he may be able to win by blasting the seeds and relying on the cooperation of other units.

But now the empire's two HCPs are dispatched at the same time. With tacit cooperation, the two HCPs can fully exert the effect of '1+1>2'.

Therefore, with no HCP on his side, and with his current psychic level, Amber has no chance of confrontation.

"Warrant Officer Amber, please continue the assault! We will stay here to cover you!"

The voice of one of the Mammoth commanders came from the communication channel.

"Eighty percent of the empire's HCPs are not equipped with atmospheric flight components, so if they want to intercept us as quickly as possible, they must pass through here! Our multi-legged tanks may not be able to block them, but delaying time is still no problem. of!"

While talking, the two Mammoth heavy multi-legged tanks activated the deflection field again and adjusted their direction, pointing the muzzles in the direction they came from.

The other three light multi-legged tanks each found a suitable location to set up their cannons and loaded them with self-forging warheads, preparing to attack the weak points on the sides and rear of the HCP.

"Then I can only leave it to you! I'll leave the bee swarm behind to help you!"

Due to the emergency situation, Amber couldn't think of a better way for a while.

In order to reach Gnaku as soon as possible, he could only accept this plan, and then controlled the swarm to temporarily hide under the bridge deck, and set up a coordinated attack mode.

Then, he quickly left with the rest of the assault team.

Not long after Amber and the others disappeared inside the base area, these multi-legged tanks also captured the shadows of two Imperial HCPs on the other side of the bridge.

The two silver-white Zealots rushed onto the bridge without any hesitation. They rushed towards the bridgehead position with full thrust, and even exploded a sound barrier visible to the naked eye during the charge.

"Alternate fire! Stop them!"

Under the command of the Mammoth Commander, the multi-legged chariot guarding the bridge opened fire. At the same time, swarm drones also flew up from under the bridge.

Faced with the deterrence of electromagnetic reconnection cannons and self-forged warheads attacking the side and rear engines, these two HCPs showed amazing driving skills.

They constantly alternated positions, and in the process of charging at high speed, they relied on the vector nozzles to make various high-G evasive movements that were almost discounted translations, and reached the bridge in just a few seconds.

Obviously, the two HCPs planned to rush to a close range that was more advantageous to them, and then relied on their advantages of flexible maneuverability in a small range to prevent the Mammoth's electromagnetic reconnection cannon from being easily aimed.

"'Volcanic Stone,' you just break through, and I'll play with them!"

"good!"

Lieutenant Rudolf, whose call sign was "Volcano", didn't say much and directly accepted the wingman's suggestion.

The Zealot he was driving suddenly jumped up from the bridge deck, and then passed over the head of the Federation multi-legged tank with the full force of the propulsion array.

After detonating a "Wolf Spider Modified" with a Gauss rifle in the air, Rudolph landed smoothly, set up his gun and aimed at the swarm drone that was about to attack the side and rear of his wingman, and directly swept it with the charged particle cannon.

Amid the crackling explosions, the swarm of bees that were in dense formation and ready to rely on built-in explosives for suicide attacks were swept down like mosquitoes swept by electric mosquito swatters.

After completing the attack, Rudolph took advantage of the gap when a mammoth aimed at him had not yet completed the turret rotation, and after a jet sprint, he also disappeared in the direction of Amber and his team.

According to the route instructions, Amber and his team found this spare hangar at the bottom of the space elevator base area in a short time.

Major Randall jumped down without waiting for the armored vehicle to stop, and then rushed to the door control terminal of the hangar and started identity verification.

"Hurry, hurry, this broken machine!"

As he cursed, the door of the hangar slowly opened, and Amber and the vehicles carrying two other HCP pilots and the maintenance team immediately rushed in.

The remaining mobile infantry, including Isabel, Randall and several medical soldiers, quickly began to set up a defense line near the hangar.

They took portable electromagnetic guns and anti-vehicle missile launchers from armored vehicles and transport trucks, which far exceeded their normal allocation.

Then, under the instruction of a mobile infantryman who was "experienced" in fighting HCP, they dispersed and deployed.

Although they knew that such a firepower configuration was not even a drop in the bucket when facing an imperial HCP.

But everyone knew that they had to buy time for the HCP in the hangar.

Only by letting them complete the startup, the people present had a chance to survive.

In this tense atmosphere, Randall even felt that he had lost his judgment of the speed of time passing.

Until the passage where they came from, there was a sudden roar.

Then, an Imperial Zealot, driven by the propulsion unit, rushed into the enclosed space in front of the hangar.

Just at the moment it appeared, two Mongoose 4 armored vehicles were blown up by the Gauss rifles in the hands of the Zealots before they even had time to fire.

The mobile infantry who reacted to the explosion immediately launched a counterattack at their respective positions.

The high-speed piercing rods fired by the electromagnetic gun and the attack of the anti-vehicle missiles made Rudolph, who had become cautious after being defeated once, open the deflection force field without hesitation and control the body to constantly move in this limited space.

At the same time, the Zealot's new equipment "anti-psychic combat unit" was also activated by him.

This equipment, newly developed by the Royal Equipment Manufacturing Bureau, can effectively suppress the psychic fluctuations of psychics of level 4 and below within the range on the battlefield.

It was also a secret weapon specially equipped to deal with Amber in this operation.

Although Rudolph's offensive rhythm was stopped, he himself carefully cleared the outer federal defenders first.

But such a blockade is based on the sacrifices made by the mobile infantry every moment.

Attack positions were constantly detonated by Gauss rifles, and mobile infantry were constantly pierced by close defense lasers while moving between bunkers.

As the electronic warfare vehicles and medical trucks hidden in the deepest part exploded under the attack of the fanatics, Isabel and several medical soldiers nearby were also overturned to the ground.

On the other side, Major Randall, who was helpless in front of the portable electromagnetic gun that had been beaten into a pile of scrap metal, finally couldn't help but yelled in the communication channel:

"Amber, it can't hold on outside! Are you okay?!"

"Boom!"

What Major Randall waited for was not Amber's response, but a loud noise from the gate.

The door of the hangar was blown open from the inside to the outside in the explosion.

Isabel, who was between the imperial fanatics and the hangar gate, saw only a gray-painted steel giant rushing out of the smoke produced by the explosion with an indomitable momentum.

Amber's roar was heard by everyone through the communication channel.

"I'm coming!"
