From Cannon Fodder to Sweeping Across Thousands of Stars

Chapter 117 Collapse and Escape (Two in One)

Although it is said that in order to face the ever-changing and complex battlefield environment, combat exoskeletons will have the most basic shock and explosion resistance capabilities.

But this does not mean that when the stun bomb explodes at zero distance, the personnel in the exoskeleton will not be affected at all.

Especially after the three stun bombs flew out of the grenade launcher, Amber used psychic power to adjust the trajectory just before the explosion, and landed in the best position.

So when these three can-sized programmed stun grenades exploded, these imperial soldiers were still disturbed.

Especially the firepower team operating the portable electromagnetic gun was blown up by the stun grenade that exploded in the air.

Before they could react, Amber had rushed to their side.

First, he used his right arm to mount the combat spike to send one away, and then his left hand threw a psychic shock on the face of another imperial soldier.

Amber, who knocked down the two in an instant, picked up a chain saw sword dropped by the dead soldier while loading the combat spike receiver, and sawed the last soldier with a "buzz buzz buzz".

In fact, Amber doesn't like to use the chainsaw sword. In his opinion, this thing is more of a belief bonus, and it is not as clean and neat as the combat spikes in actual use.

"Men just like to pile!"

This is also a sentence that Amber often said.

And although the chainsaw sword has great lethality and deterrence, it still takes some time to face the silicon carbide armor plate commonly equipped with exoskeletons.

If the grinding teeth are worn out more seriously, sometimes there will be embarrassing situations where they get stuck in the armor plate.

Although it is said that as long as the saw is successful, it will either die or be injured, there are still some hidden dangers.

Of course, to be honest, this thing is really cool when facing unarmored targets.

But now Amber has no time to worry about the quality of the weapon. His shock sword has been shattered in the previous battle, so now he will naturally use whatever he has.

The chainsaw sword in his hand is working normally at this time. In the huge noise, the armor plate cuts the last soldier of the electromagnetic gun firepower group in half.

Other imperial soldiers who were affected by the stun grenades came back to their senses in the loud noise of the chainsaw.

Then they saw Amber, who was holding a chainsaw and covered in blood and minced meat, rushing towards them.

When Amber joined the battlefield, the battle in which the federal assault team was originally at a disadvantage became a one-sided crushing of the imperial soldiers.

The previous battle was between psychics and psychics. The physical strength, reaction speed, and strength of both sides were at least at the same level, and both sides could use psychic power.

But now in this battle, the two sides of the duel have become psychics and ordinary people. The combat effectiveness and various qualities of both sides are not at the same level at all.

Even though the physical fitness of these soldiers has been greatly improved with the help of exoskeletons, in Amber's eyes they are like a group of uncles doing Tai Chi in the park.

The counterattack of the imperial soldiers did not even touch Amber. He could always dodge the attacks of various weapons with the smallest dodge, and at the same time, he pushed the combat spikes into the chest of the nearest target to make a bloody through-wound.

"Everyone! Watch out!"

"Psychic! It's a psychic!"

"Where's the anti-psychic team?! Call them over!"

Amid the panicked 'William screams' of the Imperial soldiers, Amber was like a wolf entering a flock of sheep. None of the Imperial soldiers present could survive a round under him.

At this time, his combat spikes had been replaced with two 6-round magazines.

Now he was pressing an Imperial soldier against the bulkhead with one hand, then threw away the empty magazine with his right hand, and loaded the last magazine ejected from the thigh storage compartment.

"Bang!"

Amber, who turned into a ruthless pile driver, killed the last Imperial soldier around him.

In the passage behind him, including the firepower team, all the Imperial soldiers who came to support him had been killed by him.

The corpses, blood, and body parts floating in the passage formed a picture of hell.

The Imperial soldiers who originally blocked the assault team at the exit also found that they were surrounded by a psychic and their retreat route was surrounded by a psychic, and all the friendly forces who came to support were also killed.

The only psychic standing in the passage was like a war maniac, and even exuded a materialized red spiritual pressure all over his body.

The morale of these imperial soldiers collapsed immediately.

Even without Amber continuing to attack, the remaining members of the federal assault team began to fight back.

And Amber directly passed the fighting crowd, and under the propulsion of the jetpack, he flew directly towards the four HCPs that were in melee.

Although Amber was not a "special soldier against HCP", he still knew how to quickly destroy these two imperial HCPs in this situation where the HCP weapons were severely limited.

In a zero-gravity environment, Amber could easily fly above them, and the combat spikes on his right arm could easily destroy the plasma propulsion array of the HCP after loading the shaped charge armor-piercing shells.

However, due to the possibility of supersonic loss in the superconducting battery stack, if it was supersonic loss in this closed environment, the gushing high-temperature plasma might burn through the bulkhead of the docking area, and the risk was too high.

So Amber finally decided to adopt a safer way of playing.

"Two rookies! I'll paralyze the walking mechanism of these two fanatics. Pay attention to the position of friendly forces and don't hit them by mistake!"

"Got it, sir!"

The two pilots in the cockpit, who were already sweating in the melee, heard Amber's voice as if they had heard the sound of nature.

And what Amber did was also very simple.

Level 4 psychics can already change the properties of objects in the material world through psychic power, so Amber directly used psychic power to temporarily lose the conductivity of the universal electromagnetic joints of the knees and the electromagnetic muscle bundles of the legs of the two HCPs.

This directly caused the legs of the two Imperial Zealots to instantly become like cement filled with lead, unable to move a step.

The two rookie HCPs in the assault team also seized this opportunity, directly dismantled the arms of the two Zealots, and kicked off their universal electromagnetic joints.

Finally, the cockpit was pierced with the airborne combat spikes.

At this point in the battle, there was basically no suspense.

The two Steppenwolves that got rid of the entanglement rushed directly to the exit area. After the pilot used the enemy identification and pupil lock method to let the HCP's fire control unit lock a large number of Imperial soldiers, the laser close defense turret on the head of the body began to flash at a high frequency.

Each flash would leave a burnt blood hole on the head of the targeted Imperial soldier.

When the last Imperial soldier fell to the ground, the cabin docking area also returned to a temporary calm.

The intensity of this melee was not low. Amber looked around. At this time, there were only 13 people in the entire assault team who could stand and continue to fight, except for the two HCPs.

"Simply treat the injuries and replenish nutrients. We don't have much time."

Amber looked at some wounded floating in the air, struggling and groaning, and added.

"For those who are not injured or not seriously injured, look at the wounded around. If there are still rescues, treat them urgently. If there are no rescues, give them a quick death."

Such a decision was not made because Amber was cruel.

But under the current circumstances, the assault team really had no way to rescue the seriously injured.

Not to mention that in the close-range melee, the seriously injured were basically missing arms and legs, or their stomachs were torn by chainsaw swords.

Such injuries could not even be transported to the ground through the cabin.

Everyone else knew that Amber's order at this moment was also a helpless move, and there was really no better way to deal with it at the moment.

Finally, after some emergency treatment, a total of 8 mobile infantrymen with less serious injuries were rescued.

However, they either broke their hands or lost their legs, and they could not continue to fight.

So Amber temporarily placed them in the docking area and connected them in series with safety ropes, and let two HCPs guard them here.

After all, these two big guys could not participate in the subsequent raid on the core control center.

With most of the defenders already eliminated, there were not many defenders in the core control center. Amber just launched a round of attack with the psychic shield and broke through their defense line.

In this kind of pure infantry battle where high-powered weapons cannot be used, the advantages of psychics are infinitely magnified, and the battle often becomes one-sided at the beginning.

After killing the defenders, Randall immediately rushed into the core control center, then rushed to the console and began to use his authority to reset the enemy identification system.

At the same time, the transportation channel from the docking area to the port was opened, so that the two HCPs guarding the docking area could go directly there.

At this time, in the direction of the fleet battle between the Federation and the Empire, another bright river of the sky swept across the starry sky.

The screen of the control center showed the real-time picture sent back by the comprehensive observation equipment of the military port. Everyone gathered in front of the screen at the same time. After seeing this scene, they were shocked and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Is the Focusing Rainbow firing again?"

Amber frowned. He felt that the Federation Fleet was about to fail.

If the commander of the Federation Fleet was rational enough, he should immediately find a way to get out of the battle and leave the area.

And regroup the fleet behind the shadow of a planet to prevent being called out by the Focusing Rainbow from a long distance.

At this point in the battle, the Federation Fleet has little hope of turning the tables in a short time, unless more main fleets can be mobilized.

Because the entry of the artificial celestial fortress not only shows the determination of the Star Dragon Empire to occupy the Robert IV galaxy, but also gives them a strategic advantage.

This strategic fortress can deploy several gravitational wave radar antennas with a diameter of 50 kilometers, which can monitor the general movement of the enemy fleet in the galaxy at a very long distance.

It can also detect the phenomenon of space collapse and give early warning of the enemy fleet's jump.

Amber used this tactic more than once in her previous life.

Using the absolute advantage of long-distance detection, find the jump and exit point of the enemy fleet, and then sweep it directly with a focusing rainbow at the moment when the enemy fleet exits the jump.

"The Federation Fleet is really in a passive position now."

"Wait. They won't be forced to use that, right? I hope the fleet commander will behave."

Suddenly thinking of a strategic weapon unique to the Federation, Amber immediately felt a headache.

At the same time, the communications soldier who survived the whole game with Amber also made a somewhat puzzled voice in the communication channel.

"Sir, let us cooperate with the navy ships that attacked Lansford Port. We agreed to communicate after retaking the core control center, but they have not responded to our communication request until now!"

"Ah?"

Amber floated to the side of the signalman in confusion and looked at the communication terminal screen in front of him. She only saw that the communication requests sent to the federal navy ships were in the "unanswered" state at this time.

The federal escort detachment and several transport ships that were going to dock and drop off the troops after Amber and his team regained the control of Lansford Port completely ignored their calls.

Amber suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and he immediately turned and floated in the direction of Randall.

"Major, can you use optical equipment to find the federal escort detachment on the nearby track?"

"Let me try. What? Is there a problem?"

"It may be a big problem."

Under Randall's control, another set of screens in the control center showed the scene near Lansford Port.

After the optical sensor lens continuously searched and magnified, the movement of this escort detachment was also successfully captured.

At this time, these warships that were supposed to enter Lansford Port had already passed the military port and headed towards the back of the planet.

It is not difficult to judge from the bright blue light emitted by the plasma propulsion array at the rear of their ships that these ships are accelerating.

Amber's heart sank suddenly. This escort detachment obviously had no intention of stopping at the port. Their current action was obviously to use the planet's autorotation to accelerate out of orbit.

"Bang!"

Seeing this scene, Amber was so angry that she punched the bulkhead of the control center.

"Damn it, the navy is running away, we have been sold out."

As soon as these words came out, the control center fell into silence. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

They fought hard to get on the space elevator, lost so many people and successfully regained control of the space elevator, but failed to wait for friendly forces.

"How could this happen."

"TMD, why!"

"Shame on you! These navy guys should know shame!"

The originally silent control center became lively again after one of the mobile infantrymen angrily cursed.

The survivors opened their visors and cursed at the fleeing navy ships.

But such curses could only relieve their hatred temporarily, and could not resolve the crisis they were facing.

In the end, including Randall and Isabel, these mobile infantrymen naturally focused their attention on Amber.

For them, this mysterious warrant officer who had brought them all the way to the present had become the backbone.

Looking at the hopeful eyes of the crowd, Amber sighed as if she had accepted her fate.

"Well, you guys stay calm, I'll think of a solution."
