For the people standing in front of the town of Paltamo, it was only a blink of an eye before the roar of steel colliding with the earth came from several kilometers away.
The leader of Finnish Radio and Television quickly signaled to the reporters, and it didn't take long for the helicopter to take off again and rush to the military base. Not only were the media reporters interested in Celestial Trade's Orbital Airborne Brigade, but even the British and Finnish militaries sent two helicopters.
Nominally, it was to provide support to Celestial Trade in times of need, but in reality, everyone knew what it was for.
Through satellite images, Jiang Chen saw the little tricks of Finland and the United Kingdom, but he didn't take it to heart. Since he took out the power armor, he didn't intend to keep it a secret.
This "mini brigade" of only two hundred people had been established since two years ago. The reason why he kept it a secret until now was that the enemies around him didn't have much combat power, so it wasn't worth it for him to take out the power armor. On the other hand, he was worried that it would cause a regional arms race and affect his plan to develop the economy.
There was only one reason why he took it out now, and that was that the two concerns mentioned previously no longer existed.
As for why, he would wait until the end of the war.
Fifty airdrop cabins fell one after another. Before the dust of the explosion dissipated, two hundred fully armed T3 power armors rushed out of the airdrop cabins with tactical rifles, stepped into the battlefield covered by spores, and surrounded the gap blasted by space-based weapons.
Sensing the invasion of uninvited guests, shrill screams drifted out of the deep pit.
One by one, the "Blade Warriors" flapped their wings and leaped out of the abyss. When the bombardment came, these mutants were hiding underground. Now that they sensed the presence of living creatures, they couldn't restrain their bloodthirsty desire and couldn't wait to tear open the chest of their prey with their sharp claws.
However, their plan was doomed to fail. The opponents they encountered this time were not at the same level as the previous group of weak chickens.
"ROAR!"
With a sharp roar, a Blade Warrior moved.
The bow-shaped legs suddenly sprang open, and the strengthened wings behind instantly exerted force. The two curved blades with serrated teeth formed a scissor shape and slashed at the nearest power armor. If the scissors hit a solid point, even steel would be torn apart!
In the blink of an eye, a transparent shield unfolded from the left arm of the power armor. Blade's whole body hit the shield, but it didn't shake the power armor at all. Instead, the two keratin materials were broken.
Its long, shuttle-shaped mouth opened and closed, baring its fangs as it let out a sharp, miserable howl.
Blade covered his head with his arms and retreated. However, before he could take two steps back, the power armor slammed into his defense with a shield, then held a tactical dagger as long as a forearm in his right hand and stabbed it through his chest. Then he used the force to tear down and split his intestines in half.
The confrontation happened in an instant.
Carmen, who was lying in the hibernation chamber, was dumbfounded.
He had never seen such a heaven-defying piece of metal. It reminded him of the rumors about the Iron Man of Coro Island a long time ago. In fact, as early as the Los Santos attack, there were rumors that Celestial Trade created an "Iron Man Armor". There were even more unreliable rumors that Jiang Chen himself was the "Iron Man" who appeared in Coro City. His image was too similar to the heir of Stark Industries.
When Carmen thought of this, cold sweat involuntarily emerged from his forehead.
Although he didn't scoff at the rumors, he didn't expect that Jiang Chen not only created an "Iron Man Armor" for himself, but also armed an army with something that was obviously expensive!
While he was shocked, there were no other options for him to hesitate.
The size of this team was not large. It must be the trump card of Celestial Trade, and the number of trump cards must be limited! As long as he could survive the early stages of development, the entire forest would be under the control of his nest consciousness. In order to hurt Celestial Trade, even if he had to use the sea of insects to fill the gap, he must leave this trump card here!
Even if he had to pay a high price.
Carmen made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and connected his consciousness with the nest's consciousness. Almost at the same time, the crimson blood vessels in the mother nest surged like a rat drilling a hole. The flesh blisters hidden in the shadows swelled violently, the size of sesame seeds expanding to the size of mung beans. Then, they exploded, releasing spores containing berserk factors.
All the dark green eyes turned blood red in an instant.
"ROAR!"
The roar was dyed with a layer of violence, and the Blade Warriors all fell into berserk mode and rushed at the two hundred power armors. However, before they could get close, they ran into a net of firepower that was fired at them.
In Jiang Chen's hands, this batch of T3 Power Armors shipped to the modern world underwent functional subdivisions in order to adapt to the modern battlefield. The most obvious difference was that the right arm was no longer a ground revolving machine gun. Instead, it was equipped with mounted accessories such as grenade launchers, deployable shields, and plasma daggers based on the needs of the battlefield.
The power armors in the front row knelt on one knee and held the human-sized shield in front of them. The right arm faintly ejected a blue arc. The power armors in the back stepped forward, raised the triangular barrel on the right arm, and unleashed violent firepower. In the back, there were power armors anchored to the ground with 72mm anti-tank cannons. They used high-explosive shells to tear apart the mutants' formation.
In terms of firepower alone, this 200-person power armor brigade was more than twice as strong as the British mechanized force of nearly a thousand people. Taking into account comprehensive combat capabilities such as mobility and protection, it was no exaggeration to say that if neither side used air strikes or other supporting firepower, these two hundred people could easily defeat a NATO infantry division.
The Blade Warriors in the front row were torn to pieces by the firepower, and the ones that got close were cut in half by the plasma daggers from behind the shields. The keratin armor was invincible against bullets, but against the high-heat plasma jet, it was as fragile as tofu.
Green blood splashed on the battlefield, mixed with the acid of the spitters. Kamen was determined to fight Celestial Trade to the end and would never back down. At this moment, the incubation and digestion capabilities of the nest were operating to the limit!
At the juncture of life and death, he didn't care about frugality anymore. He took out all the organic matter, transformed them into Blade Warriors and Spitters, and pushed them to the front line.
The only advantage of the swarm was that they were not afraid of death. Under the interference of the nest's will, even if they fought to the last mutant, they would rush to the muzzle without hesitation. As the battle intensified, the distance between the two sides was quickly shortened to the extreme, and the one-sided suppression of firepower became close-range combat.
The power armors were powerful but not invincible. Casualties gradually began to appear in the melee. Seeing this, Kamen's face showed a touch of joy. Based on this trend, the first to collapse would inevitably be Celestial Trade! Thinking of this, he eagerly pushed all the organic matter forward.
However, at this moment, Kamen's mood instantly fell from the peak to the bottom, and his eager face gradually became stained with a layer of despair. Through the eyes of a Blade Warrior, he saw a series of flames flickering in the air.
Celestial Trade's second round of airdrops began.
This time, it was not a human airdrop, but a drone hive.
Before the airdrop began, the power armors engaged with the mutants maintained their firing posture and retreated in an orderly manner, leaving enough battlefield space for the mutants that crawled out of the deep pit. When they almost retreated to the corner of the military base, drone hives smashed behind the mutant army.
Thousands of drones swarmed out and swarmed to the wound of the nest caused by the space-based weapons.
When Kamen reacted, it was already too late. The mutants underground were all sent to the surface, and only the mutants that just crawled out of the eggs remained in the underground bunker. Although the number was still considerable, it was not enough to intercept the flood of drones.
Without engaging with the mutants, these drones didn't even fire a single shot. They ignored the mutants' attacks and rushed to the constantly breaking eggs.
Kamen's face suddenly turned green.
"Fu * k!"
Jiang Chen, who was a hundred kilometers away, suddenly sat up from the sofa and slammed his fist on the coffee table.
"Explode!"
