Facing Sheyan's inquiry, Mogensha swiftly replied.
"Nothing else. Currently, there are only 3 Sunken Colonies. I suggest we get rid of the one in the west first. He won't be able to be covered by the other two towers. Apart from that, I haven't discovered any Flamethrower Bugs, those things should be concentrated in the Redliner base. "
What happened next could only be described as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood. More importantly, Reef could feel the benefits of cooperating with Sheyan. That was, the risk he had to face was greatly reduced. Accurately speaking, the original 100% risk was reduced to 50% for each of them. This point was vividly displayed during the assault on the other two Sunken Colonies.
Once Reef's HP dropped by 50%, he would immediately withdraw from the attacking range of the Sunken Colonies with Mogensha. Naturally, the damage from those two Sunken Colonies would be transferred to Sheyan. Furthermore, when Sheyan's HP was severely depleted, Reef would rely on medicines to recover 70 – 80% of his HP. Thus, he could once again replace Sheyan. This greatly increased their survivability and fault tolerance.
After charging into the Mother nest, Mogensha first ferociously charged into the main hall of the base. Several shuttles of shuttles smashed the drones that were transporting the crystals to death. Due to the exhaustion of the mineral veins, the drones were no longer collecting, but transporting the crystals. Then, they would toss the stored Pandora crystals into the digestive pool of the Mother nest to extract the energy within. Through a method that humans couldn't comprehend, the energy would be transferred to the main body of the Redliner tribe, the Redliner Mother nest.
Even after Sheyan and the rest had cleared the enemy's defences, the mineral veins here had already been depleted. However, the accumulated reserves of the Mother nest was enough to make them feel like they had reaped a bountiful harvest.
After a round of inventory, Sheyan and the rest had obtained a total of 2800 units of Pandora crystals, and 500 units of rare gas ores. Of course, the thorny issue was that these crystals and ores weren't directly converted into utility points, but occupied space! Of course, they could also sell them to their nightmare imprints for utility points, but it would only be 10,000 utility points at most. After splitting it amongst the 3 of them, it would be a pitiful amount. Furthermore, one could tell from Reef's thirsty gaze how much he yearned for them. What more, he had already forked out 20,000 utility points to ask for their help?
Fortunately, after Sheyan was promoted to Second Lieutenant, the storage space of the nightmare realm had expanded accordingly. Its capacity was now rather impressive. Although it couldn't store all the crystals and associated ores, after emptying the storage space as much as possible, it was still mostly filled. As for the remaining work, Mogensha and Reef could naturally share it. At this moment, Mogensha was still fine. Instead, Reef stared at Sheyan with an astonished expression.
"What's your current rank? Could it be that he had been promoted to the rank of a reserve officer? There's actually so much private space? "
Sheyan shook his head.
"No, I'm a second lieutenant now."
When he spoke, both Mogensha and Reef widened their eyes in shock.
"You're a second lieutenant?! Not a reserve duty second lieutenant? "
"That's right?" Sheyan was stunned. "What's so strange about that?"
Reef turned around, looking at Mogensha seriously.
"Originally, I didn't believe your words. The Metals professor and Fanu were such a perverse combination, how could they die in the hands of Seaman alone ….. but now, I'm starting to believe it."
Sheyan then realized that only contestants who used untraded achievement points to promote their military ranks, would be able to receive the title of official military rank. Apart from that, once one used untraded achievement points to promote their military ranks, it would be like having a stain in their life. In front of their military rank, there would be an additional 'reserve duty' evaluation, and they would only be able to receive the most basic functions.
Of course, it was said that there was a way to remove the damned word 'reserve', but the price to pay was quite expensive. How many achievement points did you obtain when you were promoted in the military? Then, you would have to pay double the price to get rid of it.
For example, Mogensha was currently a reserve-duty Private First Class. During his promotion, he had obtained 10 achievement points. Therefore, to remove this stain, he would have to pay twice the amount, which was 20 points of his own earned achievement points. If he was a reserve-duty Lieutenant, he would have to pay 3 times, and so on. Moreover, this method of removing the stain from one's military rank wasn't as good as a direct promotion.
After hearing these words, Sheyan felt extremely fortunate. If he hadn't obtained a huge amount of achievement points from exploring the goblin kingdom ruins, how would he be promoted to a second lieutenant so quickly? At this moment, Reef suddenly asked.
"Seaman, I wonder if you have any plans to form a party after this world ends? I heard that a party formed with official military ranks would naturally possess party abilities? Moreover, it seems like they have other advantages, and are much stronger than a reserve duty party in all aspects. "
Sheyan laughed and replied.
"I originally didn't think of this matter, but after hearing your words, I'm rather curious."
Following that, the trio started to destroy this unguarded base. Saying it was unguarded wasn't entirely accurate, the Mother nest here was still incessantly hatching zerglings and hydralisks. However, this level of sporadic attacks was completely useless against them. After destroying the nearby anti-air Spore Cannons one by one, the Blackthorn tribe's Mutalisks who had heard the news also rushed over to assist. There were even 5 Overlords that carried several Blackthorn tribe zerglings to assist. In less than half an hour, the base was utterly destroyed. Furthermore, destroying a base was a rather outstanding achievement. Thus, the trio each received close to 20,000 reputation points.
At present, they obtained information from the Overlord. For some unknown reason, the Blackthorn Overmind Mozi actually took the initiative to launch an attack. Relying on his aerial superiority, he divided his forces and launched an all-out assault on the Redliner tribe! He even attempted to use the Mutalisks and Overlords to forcefully airdrop their forces, going all out against the Redliner tribe.
In a short period of time, the Redliner tribe's sphere of influence was filled with smoke. Although their main forces held a huge advantage in terms of numbers of hydralisks and zerglings, their mobility was rather lacking. If they were to launch an all-out assault, then their rear would inevitably be emptied. Once their base was destroyed, they would lose their endless supply of reinforcements. Then similarly, their chances of victory would be slim!
"We have to hurry up." Sheyan gazed into the distant skies and muttered to himself.
At present, they were only a few hundred kilometres away from the Redliner tribe's main base. Occasionally, deep green rays could be seen tearing through the horizon. Following closely, 3-4 gigantic emerald green glowing spheres would shoot up into the sky. The glowing spheres revolved at an extremely high speed, causing the air in front of them to ripple like a whirlpool. Wherever they passed, specks of green remnant light would be left behind.
The diameter of the glowing spheres was at least close to a hundred metres. Although they were merely observing from afar, they possessed an incomparably tyrannical destructive force!!! Just by looking at it from afar, one could feel the surging radiance and force assaulting one's face. One couldn't help but hold one's breath.
Reef gazed towards the direction of the glowing spheres and sighed.
"That should be the mission's requirement to destroy the Colossal Spore Colony right! Damn it, previously when we were on the shuttle, I didn't feel that terrifying. But now I realize that thing isn't that easy to deal with. "
Sheyan's expression turned solemn.
"If I didn't guess wrongly, the reason why the Blackthorn Overmind Mozi dared to launch such a sudden attack, I'm afraid he had obtained an extremely powerful reinforcements! That's why he dared to launch an all-out assault without any distractions. That signifies one thing – if we want to destroy the Colossal Spore Colony, we have to hurry ahead of the Blackthorn tribe. If not, we won't have the slightest chance in the future! "
"Powerful reinforcements?" Mogensha was stunned. "Oh, shit! Who else would help these bugs? "
Sheyan calmly replied.
"Since the Blackthorn Overmind Mozi is willing to cooperate with us and Lieutenant Colonel Dundee, then why can't he cooperate with other human factions?"
This idea was like a ticking time bomb that suddenly detonated, rumbling like thunder. Both Mogensha and Reef were shocked into a daze, yet they couldn't find any words to refute. Sheyan's gaze turned deep as he continued.
"The Blackthorn tribe's high-energy ore vein is exceedingly abundant, if not, they wouldn't have become a public enemy. Therefore, what they lack the most now is time, not resources. From that brat's actions, we can tell that he isn't respectful towards the Blade Queen of the arachnid race. Instead, he is brimming with ambition, with a hint of independence. "
"Furthermore, one can imagine that the human factions that have established themselves on this planet wouldn't be willing to interfere with the Mother Planet, and take away more benefits for free. Therefore, it is logical for both parties to hit it off. The Blackthorn tribe probably paid an exorbitant amount of pandora ores and gas ores to purchase their weapons. In the face of such immense benefits, the human factions have no reason to reject this proposal. Especially when the weapons they are selling are used in the internal strife of the arachnid race!! Thus, their actions are cloaked in the name of justice, and become even more unbridled! "
Reef frowned and questioned.
"But that's only your conjecture, you don't have any proof!!"
Sheyan smiled faintly and replied.
"Proof ….. is very simple ….."
*****
Tonight, there will be more updates at 12, be there or be square! Haha.
Furthermore, everyone's conjectures regarding Reef's innate ability are truly formidable, it has opened up my mind space by quite a bit! (To be continued. If you like this work, I welcome you to vote for it on qidian.com. Your support, is my greatest motivation.)
