The Thunder and Fire Base was located in the north, but in this month, the weather was also getting hot.
Gao Lei unbuttoned the chest button of his uniform and let the wind blow his collar, but it only slightly reduced the heat. Large beads of sweat still appeared on his forehead, and then dripped down along his big face. Holding the tactical binoculars, Gao Lei stood at the commanding point of the base's defensive wall and looked out. He could see the entire northern part of the Frost Crown Glacier.
At this time of the year, only a layer of ice on the surface of the Cold Crown Glacier thawed. The ten-thousand-year-old ice was as hard as steel, completely unaffected by the hot weather. In Gao Lei's telescope, the alliance army of the Blade Demon Tribe spread out from the glacial plains.
The Federation and the Saber Demon had been enemies for a long time, and with the beheading order of the ten subordinates, there was no possibility of a buffer in the war. Almost as soon as he saw the wall of the Lightning Fire Base, the Saber Demon began to attack. The cannon fodder troops in front of him suddenly increased, and thousands of knife ants surged over. Using servant beasts to consume human ammunition was the most traditional tactic of the Saber Demon.
This tactic was no longer new, but it was practical, because the Federation really couldn't watch the Saber Ants rush to their positions.
"These guys really don't know how to learn." Gao Lei put down his binoculars and said.
Behind him, his adjutant laughed and said, "They can't get past our minefield."
A minefield had already been set up around the base. Only people from the base would know where the safe passage was. As for the Saber Demon, of course, he had to fill the minefield with cannon fodder so that the main force behind him could pass through. The infantry mines laid in the minefield were set up precisely for the 6-element servant beasts like knife ants. The infantry mines had been used since the old era, and they hadn't been improved much since then.
Compared to before the War of Dawn, the infantry mines had also done some work on the use and filling of gunpowder, increasing some of their power, but they could not be compared to other new mines. Infantry mines were easy to make and had a miraculous effect on suppressing these unique servant beasts on Nether Domain Star. Therefore, they were still widely used on the battlefield of Nether Domain Star.
Just as the servant beast army was about to enter the minefield, the cannon fodder suddenly made some adjustments. The saber ants dispersed, and the distance between the servant beasts was immediately widened, which surprised Gao Lei. As a result, the effect of the minefield was greatly reduced. He set up the binoculars again, adjusted the magnification, and pulled the lens to the rear of the enemy. Finally, his gaze fell on a Saber Demon. This Saber Demon was different from the others. He sat upright on a giant black wolf. It was a mutant among the Horned Wolves. Its body was slightly larger than a normal Berserk Horned Wolf. Its eyes were golden, and the wolf's mouth was filled with dense white teeth. The most eye-catching thing was that single horn.
The golden horn was Z-shaped and looked like a bolt of golden lightning.
The Wolf Saber Demon wore a dark red armor stomach. The armor stomach was filled with a rough smell. It was made of a mixture of skin and metal, and then painted with dark red paint. Among the enemy troops, only he was wearing red armor, and Gao Lei immediately recognized him. As the Saber Demon gestured, the army sounded a horn in response. The Red Armor Blade Mo Xian was the enemy's commander. He used the bugle horn to give orders, allowing the cannon fodder troops to make corresponding tactical movements.
"Interesting." As Gao Lei spoke, he said to the adjutant, "Let the officers at all levels prepare. We can't let the servant beasts enter the defensive position."
Just as the order was given, an explosion sounded in the minefield. The cannon fodder troops began to enter the minefield, and the infantry mines buried on the ground detonated one by one. Explosions sounded continuously, and fireballs bloomed on the glacial plains. The heat wave and shockwave caused the Saber Ants to be unable to crawl away normally, but the scattered formation prevented them from being killed by a large number of mines.
Even though most of the mines in the minefield had detonated, there were still quite a few knife ants that had broken through the area and begun to attack the defensive positions of the base. Far away, under the orders of the officers, the soldiers in the fortifications were free to attack. The army of about a thousand people at the Thunder and Fire Base had already switched to the Fire Fighting Steps/Guns. Even if they didn't activate the sequence, they could still enter the shooting mode in normal mode. The Fire Fighting Steps/Guns were far superior to the eliminated armaments in terms of firepower and range.
The sound of gunfire surged, and the Federation soldiers set up a firepower net, shooting the Saber Ants a hundred meters away. The visible line of fire pierced through the battlefield. With the armor of the Saber Ant, it was impossible to defend against the penetration of the blazing bullets. The Saber Ants fell in pieces, and the green-yellow ant blood stained the ground.
The enemy's horn sounded again, short and excited.
The main force of thousands of infantry began to advance. The black mass of Saber Demon infantry advanced along the passageway opened by the servant beasts and used the remaining Saber Ants as cover to attack the Federation position. On the defensive wall, Gao Lei sneered and clenched his fists.
Seeing his gesture, the adjutant hurriedly gave the order.
At this time, the heavy artillery armored vehicles located in several shooting positions began to rumble. The gunner adjusted the angle of the heavy artillery and fired at the same time. Amidst the muffled sound of the cannons, a large ball of flames immediately exploded in the enemy's main force, devouring hundreds of Saber Demons.
As the heavy artillery sounded, the weapon system of the Thunder and Fire Base was also put into battle. The two turrets on the commanding heights of the wall repeatedly shot out blue lightning. With the unique sound of high-energy cannons, the lightning landed in the enemy camp, causing huge impacts time and time again. The destructive power of the high-energy cannons was still above that of the heavy cannons. Even though there were only two turrets, under the frequent bombardment, the lives of the Saber Demons were far superior to those of the six heavy artillery armored vehicles.
In addition, the anti-aircraft machine guns at several firepower points were thrown into battle. Blazing metal jets swept back and forth in the enemy formation like whips, causing countless deaths and injuries to the Saber Demons. Every time they snatched a meter, they had to use hundreds or more lives to fill it.
The horn changed again.
The Wolf Cavalry on the two flanks of the enemy finally entered the battle. These Wolf Cavalry, which could be called elite soldiers in small and medium-sized tribes, moved like the wind. Even under the heavy artillery, cannons, and other fierce artillery fire, they continued to pierce through the curtain of fire, quickly approaching the defensive position, and piercing through from the left and right ends. After they joined the battle, the frontlines of the base finally ignited with the flames of war.
Gao Lei quickly responded.
The frontlines began to shrink, reducing the area of attack, but concentrated their firepower, making it impossible for the Wolf Cavalry to easily cross the line of fire. At the same time, non-commissioned officers were dispatched to counterattack the Wolf Cavalry. Under such an adjustment, the Wolf Cavalry was immediately restrained, and they were no longer able to easily penetrate through the position as before.
Suddenly, a long horn sounded from the enemy's side. Another new order was issued, but there were no new changes in the Saber Demon's army. Just as Gao Lei was feeling confused, a shocking aura suddenly exploded at the frontlines. The Origin Energy on the battlefield rose, condensing into a projection of the Saber Demon's ancestor. The opponent actually let a general mix in the infantry and attack at this time!
Sure enough, a general with a projection of the ancestor on his head almost crashed into the Federation's firepower net. He punched towards the densest point of the base's firepower. The projection of the ancestor made the same gesture, but a miserable green pillar of Origin Energy shot out from the tip of the phantom's fist and shot straight towards the position.
"Quickly form the Honor Barrier!" An officer shouted from the position.
Hundreds of soldiers activated their Origin Energy at the same time, so the bracelets on their wrists were covered in silver circuits, and the soldiers' Origin Energy Shields were activated. The shields combined with each other to form a thick, six-sided Origin Energy barrier that was lit up with six-sided light patterns. The Saber Demon General's Origin Energy pillar of light collided with the barrier. The Origin Energy of the two sides collided, causing an earth-shattering explosion.
The Honor Barrier flashed twice and disappeared. The soldiers supporting the barrier were all crushed to the ground by the shockwaves of the explosion, but the general's attack was blocked. Not a single person was injured! The officer on the position gave another order, and dozens of soldiers rushed up from behind. The fiery steps/spears in their hands lit up with orange patterns, but they activated the sequence of steps/spears.
The Saber Demon General was about to launch a second strike when a dense cluster of raging fire missiles suddenly flew out from the Origin Energy flames in front of him. The number of missiles and the density of the array caused the general to almost scream. He had no time to continue attacking. The projection descended to protect the general, and then the explosion occurred in all directions. Nearly a hundred missiles concentrated fire, and the explosive flames collided with each other in close proximity, causing the power to rise rapidly.
From afar, a pillar of fire rose from the battlefield, and the nearby spatial origin energy was in a chaotic situation.
After the explosion, the general staggered out of the pillar of fire. Although he didn't die immediately, his entire body was charred black and he was seriously injured. He was powerless to fight anymore. He barely got up from the ground and ran back with his arm on his back. Suddenly, blue light shone behind him. The general turned around and couldn't help but cry out in alarm. A streak of blue lightning rushed past his body, ploughed across the ground, and swept towards the Saber Demon behind him, causing a series of explosions.
That general, after being seriously injured, finally died under the fire of this high-energy cannon.
"It's time."
Gao Lei handed the tactical binoculars to the adjutant, and his gaze fell on the enemy commander. His meaning could not be more obvious, but at this moment, the forced officer said, "Colonel, look behind them."
Gao Lei took the binoculars doubtfully and saw that the red-armored Saber Demon was repeatedly looking back, as if something had happened behind them. As the camera zoomed away, Gao Lei saw that the Saber Demon Commander's guards were in a commotion behind the enemy. In his line of sight, a Saber Demon Guard suddenly flew into the air and spat out blood, as if he had been attacked.
At this moment, a rough warhammer appeared in Gao Lei's line of sight. It was obvious that the owner of the warhammer was charging at the Saber Demon Guard. Unfortunately, because the distance was too far and the Saber Demon Guard blocked his line of sight, he couldn't see who it was.
Gao Lei put down his binoculars and looked at the adjutant suspiciously. "Have we arranged an ambush?"
The adjutant looked at him and stared blankly. His expression had already explained everything.
Gao Lei said, "That's strange. Could it be that General Melinda's men have come?"
As soon as he said that, he felt that it was impossible. If it was the Rose Empress, she would at least see a transport airship. However, at this moment, the sky above the Cold Crown Glacier was as clear as water. Where was the shadow of half a flying ship?
