From Cannon Fodder to Sweeping Across Thousands of Stars

Chapter 91 What Is a Formation Breaker?

As the commander of the Mammoth used the overshooting method, he pressed the fire button at the moment of reloading.

The alloy rod with a muzzle speed of Mach 10 once again dragged an orange-red line of fire across the street.

But the pilot of this Zealot was obviously not a rookie.

After the heavy particle cannon finished shooting, he ordered the combat auxiliary AI to connect the main energy supply of the body to the deflection force field generator.

He immediately controlled the Zealot to kneel on one knee, and at the same time, he buckled the laminated armor shield on the right shoulder in front of him.

The moment the orange-red line of fire touched the Zealot, it was deflected into the air in the burst of white light.

So in the eyes of other people around, a bright orange-red broken line remained on the retina.

The Zealot's weight of nearly 100 tons also made it stand like a reef in front of the shock wave generated by the heavy cannon shooting.

After taking this attack, the Zealot also began to retreat and deployed another charged particle cannon to prepare for deterrent shooting.

As the captain of the HCP team in the Blue Bay Empire, after being attacked in Blue Bay, ‘Flytrap’ immediately took his wingman ‘Werewolf’ and rushed to the vicinity of the backup command post according to the predetermined procedure, and quickly contacted the people in the command post.

When he learned that the communication and battlefield information transmission of the entire team were seriously interfered, and the progress of the troops' contraction and defense was not smooth.

‘Flytrap’ finally decided to attack alone to cover his soldiers' retreat to the city.

With the mobility and attack capabilities of HCP, when fighting in the city, it is completely possible to protect a certain target while supporting friendly operations within a radius of 3 kilometers.

What's more, he has a wingman for support.

After ordering ‘Werewolf’ to coordinate near the backup command post, ‘Flytrap’ drove the Zealot into the nearby streets.

With the assistance of the plasma propulsion array on the back, the Zealot was like a dragonfly skimming the water, and each step could cover a distance of nearly 100 meters.

The onboard combat assistance AI, when battlefield information transmission is not smooth and the enemy identification cannot run smoothly, also continuously performs enemy identification through electromagnetic feature analysis and image recognition.

When the heavy multi-legged chariot "Mammoth" several streets away from him opened fire for the first time, the combat assistance AI immediately issued a "strong magnetic field detected" warning to "Flytrap".

"Flytrap" knew that there was no HCP in that direction, and apart from these four fanatics, there were no other weapons in the imperial forces of Blue Bay that could cause such a warning.

It could only be the electromagnetic reconnection gun of the Federation that was firing.

So "Flytrap" just took advantage of the gap when "Mammoth" was reloading and seized this opportunity to complete a handsome sliding approach, set up the gun and fire, and then defend with a shield.

The whole process was smooth and extremely smooth, and it directly destroyed a "Mammoth".

But that's it.

"Lilith, how much time do we have to attack?"

"The other Zealot is five streets away from here. Master, you only have 30 seconds to attack at most!"

"40 seconds? That's almost enough."

Amber, who was hiding in an alley with a team of mobile infantry, looked at the steel giant rampaging on the street in front of her and silently went over the battle plan in her mind.

Before the steel giant appeared just now, Lilith had already captured the location of the Zealot through the city camera.

Amber also simultaneously passed the information to the friendly forces on the main road, but unfortunately they were still a step slower in reaction.

Or, the Zealot was too decisive and acted too quickly.

At the moment, the situation that was supported by the two 'Mammoths' before was out of control again after the arrival of the Zealot.

Although the charged particle cannon it is now deploying can be defended by the deflection field of the 'Mammoth'.

But this is only temporary. Under the threat of the heavy particle cannon that could fire at any time, the remaining "Mammoth" had to consider retreating.

Seeing that the offensive momentum was blocked, Amber had to stand up at this time.

After all, the longer the battle against Blue Bay was delayed, the greater the possibility of an orbital strike from overhead.

"Are you clear about the battle plan?"

After completing the preparations, Amber turned her head and looked at the mobile infantry around her.

Except for the three squad leaders who were responsible for commanding the three mobile infantry squads to continue advancing from another street, all the other "veterans" were called over by Amber.

These mobile infantry who had experienced the battle of the nameless forest were much better than other newly added soldiers when facing HCP.

"Understand! Commander Amber! This is not the first time for us. We will provide good cover!"

"Don't let me down! If I die, I will come to your dreams every night to claim my life!"

Amber's words made these mobile infantry laugh, and the originally tense atmosphere was also eased.

"Okay, listen to my command."

Amber walked to the exit of the alley and made a gesture ready to sprint.

Other mobile infantrymen also entered the building on the side of the alley one after another. They would advance from the inside of the building through rapid blasting.

"3, 2, 1! Action!"

As soon as Amber finished speaking, the whole person turned into a shadow and rushed out. At the same time, a 30-second countdown appeared on the HUD of the tactical mask.

"Boom!"

At the same time, there was an explosion in the building on the right.

This was the sound of the mobile infantry starting to use 40mm automatic grenade launchers to fire barrier bombs for blasting.

The sound of the explosion immediately attracted the attention of the imperial infantry near the HCP in front of the street.

These soldiers who survived by chance were currently in a state of high tension, so when the explosion sounded from the side, they reacted instantly.

Looking at a medium-sized exoskeleton approaching rapidly at a strange speed on the side street, these imperial soldiers subconsciously turned their guns and fired directly.

In their cognition, there was no such unit on their side.

When Amber, who was sprinting, saw them turn around, he also hung the Gauss machine gun on the side gun rack of the individual anti-vehicle missile compartment behind him.

Then, without reducing his own speed, he raised his right hand.

"Activate the deflection field!"

A deflection field shaped into an ellipse under the control of the constrained magnetic field unfolded in front of Amber like a translucent shield.

At the same time, the imperial orbital paratroopers also opened fire.

The steel needle bullets fired by the Gauss rifle hit the deflection field like raindrops, exploding a bunch of electric sparks.

Although the deflection field is not so effective in defending against live kinetic weapons, this exoskeleton dedicated to frontal breakthroughs is equipped with a deflection field generator, which is more than enough to deal with the Gauss rifles in the hands of these ordinary infantrymen.

Amber, who was sprinting under the shooting of the imperial soldiers, was not idle either. He used the "pupil lock" mode to aim at the imperial soldiers hiding behind various obstacles at the street corners.

Then he activated the individual anti-vehicle missile cabin on his back and powered up one of the missiles.

"Lilith, correct the landing point data and attack directly!"

After Lilith "moved into" the microprocessor in Amber's body, when Amber was connected to the exoskeleton through the interface, Lilith naturally took over the operation of each module of the exoskeleton to assist Amber in combat.

Just like now.

After correcting the landing point to a position that can cause maximum lethality, Lilith directly launched an attack.

An anti-vehicle missile quickly shot out from behind Amber, drew a curve in the air, and then plummeted.

"Who said anti-vehicle missiles can't be used to hit other targets?"
