Chapter 578: The Edge of the Bayonet (IV)
Height, 2450 meters, stratocumulus patrol.
The patrol team set out from the scattered neutral islands between the two airspaces, and according to the patrol plan, brought the entire transitional airspace under their control. The most important task was naturally to guard against the possible large-scale fleet raids of the Ring Island Alliance.
When necessary, they need to use all means to intercept the attacking fleet and hold on until the main force of the territory arrives at the central sky island.
The second-level task is to assist the territory in developing these small and medium-sized pillar floating islands that are broken like stardust between the two airspaces.
It has been a year since Ji Lin first arrived at this group of floating islands like debris. During this year, the territory has built qualified resource development facilities on the vine sky island and can create economic value for the territory.
Industrialized drilling machines are spread all over this vine sky island, inserted into the vines on the vine sky island that are like high-rise buildings to extract their blood and make a weak recovery agent that can quickly restore physical strength.
The highly lignified vines growing on it are also a qualified source of wood. The structural strength of plants grown in an environment rich in elemental energy is not bad.
With the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between the two sides.
The mission of this patrol team has gradually changed from guarding against the fleet raid of the Ring Island Alliance to conducting complete regional control and registering the ships of the Ring Island Alliance heading to their own airspace... just like a highway toll station.
Armed highway toll station.
An armed toll station centered on a fortress, which also serves as the front-line command center during wartime.
"We have received your request for support. Please wait for the reply from the Central Fortress."
The lieutenant cut off the radio communication and switched to the fleet's internal frequency band.
"Connect to the Central Fortress."
A telegram arrived at the Fortress Command through the floating radio transfer node, and they quickly found the countermeasures left by their lord in the file bag.
'You can support, but avoid large-scale intervention. The territory does not want to waste energy on the ground. '
Call back.
"Outer Ring Airspace Duty Force, the patrol team has set off with ground units, please sail to the designated location to connect with the support force... Calculate the voyage, and the ground personnel need to persist for an hour."
The lieutenant knocked on the radio communication and asked the communicator to knock directly on the call back to the mining station.
"Please hold on for an hour. We are organizing the troops."
————
"What? Hold on for another hour?"
Xu Yan was stunned for a moment, hesitant to speak, gritted his teeth and looked at the front line where the fighting was going on.
The ground forces of the Ring Island Alliance can be said to be defeated at the touch of a button in front of the well-trained Vatican infantry.
He thought that his rock element could hold on for a while in front of these light infantry with its heavy armor characteristics. The super-heavy shell injected with elemental energy by the rock element can effectively resist all attacks.
The spell attack was offset by the thick rock shell, and the kinetic attack was absorbed.
The theory should be so.
Xu Yan also saw the soft lead bullet of the flintlock rubbing a piece of debris on the outer layer of the rock element, and the light guns and light arrows thrown by the priests did not leave any traces on the rock element.
Until Xu Yan saw the small light shells separated from the infantry line, he did not notice the special assault infantry separated from the infantry line at first.
Those white heavy infantrymen, not much bigger than ordinary heavy infantrymen, supported a shield that could reach the mecha's firepower for a short time. Because the target was small, the mecha's direct firepower could not deal with such infantrymen.
When he thought that these heavy infantrymen were only responsible for assault and disrupting the formation, a Templar jumped up and inserted the long sword in his hand, and the rock element's arm was immediately cut off by the pale white light.
Leap, hit, cut off.
It took less than 20 seconds in total.
A rock element that could withstand several rounds of direct fire from the stone cannon in the fourth era had its limbs cut off cleanly, and the long sword was inserted into the internal element core. As the element core was broken, it turned into dull dust and small rocks.
"Damn it... Stop firing, let's retreat directly... Wait for support from above..." Xu Yan subconsciously controlled the mecha to take a step back and looked at the adjutant beside him: "Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang?"
A long spear pierced through the gap of the mecha, and the iron spear flashing with the glory of divine magic accurately penetrated the crew cabin of the mecha. The blood flowing along the spear indicated that the lord inside had probably returned to the territory.
When did the enemy advance to such a close distance to the position.
Not only knights like heavy infantry entered the position, but other things had already penetrated the defense line and entered their position.
Accurate, deadly, the enchanted spear can directly nail the lords to death in the cockpit along the weak points of the mecha.
Xu Yan realized that he had made a mistake.
He put all the infantry on the front line to suppress the troops of the Church, but he didn't expect that although the fragile unit of mecha is more flexible than traditional armored units, it is out of the cover of infantry... It is like fish on the chopping board in front of the enemy infantry.
None of them can escape.
"Damn it, scatter and break out, use melee mode! Save as many as you can!"
The humanoid mecha held the spear beside it, and with a sweep, it forced back the approaching Templar Knights and Hound Sisters.
