The huge Roman Legion marched in an orderly manner under one command. The war machines that had been through many battles and had killed countless people started moving. Even the earth trembled when they moved.
Just like a piece of rapidly spreading mud, a murderous aura rose from the desolate desert. Then, it crazily surged toward us.
Saber gripped the gold sword in her hand tightly and arched her body forward, preparing to face the incoming attack. The others also took out their weapons. Although their faces were drenched in cold sweat, no one retreated.
But to Yuanban's surprise, the people who were supposed to be the first to attack didn't move. Even the two little girls, who seemed to be passionate about fighting, only took out their giant weapons and stood still. They didn't seem to have any intention of moving forward.
"Uncle Alien?"
She raised her head in confusion, her tone full of confusion.
"Renault! Bring your ship in! Fire at full power! Release the landing pods! Attack! "I didn't respond to Yuanban's question. Instead, I suddenly gave an order to the air.
Three seconds later, when Yuanban and the others were still wondering what my order meant, a dazzling white ball of light suddenly fell from the sky.
Like a small sun falling from the sky, the ball of light emitting a dazzling white light pierced through the atmosphere with a sharp whistle, and then smashed into the dense Roman phalanx. The huge explosion that followed made everyone who looked directly at the ball of light see a vast expanse of white in an instant. They could only vaguely see the dense and majestic Roman heavy infantry phalanx being instantly lifted by an invisible shock wave and thrown high into the air. It was as if a punch had smashed into iron sand, and the gravel was accompanied by blood.
A friendly reminder: For those who have never practiced the Iron Sand Palm, don't think that just because you find a basin of iron sand and smash it every day, you will be able to practice the peerless Divine Art. Most people fall from their wounds before they can master the Divine Art.
As the first light orb fell, more light orbs appeared in everyone's field of vision, and they fell one after another under the continuous whistling sound of the air. In just ten seconds of saturated bombardment, the originally dense and neat Roman phalanx had been scattered, and they were utterly defeated in the smoke.
However, the physique of the heroic spirits was indeed very strong. Even if it was only a projection that was equivalent to a fraction of their real body, they still had amazing defensive abilities. Although the photon bomb from Proteus was powerful, other than the heroic spirits near the center of the explosion, most of the Roman soldiers who were blown away by the shockwave survived. They were knocked unconscious by the sudden attack from the sky. At this moment, they were dizzily climbing up from the ground and looking for their scattered weapons.
However, the end of the world was far from over. Of course, a simple high-altitude bombardment could not completely wipe out these heroic spirits, whose individual combat power was almost equivalent to a small army of mortals. The real ones who were going to harvest them were the Marines.
After the photon bomb "cleaned" the landing site, the landing troops dropped from low-Earth orbit also appeared in the sky. When the landing pods appeared in the sky at the same time, even the brave Saber could not help but shiver. Wei Gong, who was standing next to her, felt his legs turn to jelly, and he almost fell to the ground.
The psychological trauma was too strong.
The huge landing pods fell rapidly from the sky surrounded by red flames produced by high-temperature friction. They then completed the deceleration and terminal adjustment in the sky above the battlefield. Then, these big guys that fell from the sky took off their shells under the confused gaze of the Roman infantrymen around them.
The first thing that caught the eyes of the Roman infantrymen were countless black muzzles and high-explosive grenades raised high in the air.
The flames from the electromagnetic rifles woke up the confused Roman infantrymen, and the violent explosion of the extra-large grenades caused a lot of wails on the battlefield. Renault's elite Marines were used to going all out in the face of any enemy. Therefore, even though they were facing a group of seemingly primitive ancient soldiers, they were not stingy with the firepower in their hands. It turned out that this tactic was correct.
Although they were wearing simple and thin leather or iron armor, the defense of these Roman infantrymen was not inferior to the power armor of the Marines. The armor that contained magic power could even withstand a dozen electromagnetic rifle bullets within range. And although the javelins and swords in their hands looked simple, I knew that when they were thrown out and exploded, the power was no less than a small howitzer …
The Heroic Spirit Army was not cannon fodder, even if they were a little weak when facing the Shiring Apostles.
Their caution at the start of the battle made the Marines rejoice because they found that the ancients with primitive equipment could actually hurt their super-alloy power armor with their swords and guns. If they didn't choose to suppress them with firepower at the beginning, perhaps they would really lose face in the hands of these primitive troops.
"Everyone, suppress the enemy with firepower! Advance in small groups! Long-range photon cannons will arrive in three minutes. Those unlucky bastards whose photon shields are damaged, report to me! Get back into the landing pods! Whoever dies in the hands of these primitive people will be treated as a joke by your successor! "
Tychus' rough and loud voice resounded through the public command link. I could already see that among the landing troops, there was a big man wearing full blue armor and arrogantly pulling down his mask. He was especially eye-catching. Furthermore, the electromagnetic rifle in his hand was not the common electromagnetic rifle that ordinary infantrymen used. Instead, it was an extra-large rotary cannon. There was a battle maniac in Renault's army who seemed to have been infected by Pandora's teachings. Other than Tychus, there was no other person who could do this.
While the Marines used the first wave of photon bombs and the suppression of the landing pods to gain the upper hand, another phenomenon caught everyone's attention. That was the Roman infantrymen who were suddenly cut in half through the gaps of the electromagnetic rifle's firepower.
It was as if there was an invisible blade dancing wildly between them. One by one, the Heroic Spirit Soldiers' limbs were suddenly cut open while they were running. Even at the moment of death, their eyes were still wide open. In the face of this sudden and bizarre death, they died with their eyes wide open.
"How did Zeratul fix the tinder in the end?" I moved closer to Sandora's ear and asked softly.
"He didn't fix it, but our research institute helped to create a more effective AllSpark. With that, Renault has almost become the savior of the Transformers. But on the other hand, Zeratul still doesn't dare to show up near the research institute."
"Oh." I nodded and didn't say anything else. I mourned for Uncle Z in my heart.
The Dark Templars that Zeratul had brought with him were harvesting the lives of the Roman soldiers. These powerful warriors had spent hundreds of years honing their combat skills. The psionic blades in their hands were invincible, and they were like tigers that had grown wings in this chaotic battlefield. They had turned the Marines' firepower into an even more dangerous death zone. Looking at how well the Dark Templars cooperated with the human infantrymen, it was obvious that this wasn't the first time they had joined forces like this.
In just ten minutes, the first batch of Roman infantrymen had almost all died. Even though the Heroic Spirits were stronger than ordinary human soldiers, the Heroic Spirit Infantrymen were just a projection of their strength. Secondly, the Marines that had landed on the battlefield had more or less received the enhancement of Schilling's technology. Their sudden arrival had caused the Roman army, which had never faced such a war before, to panic. Under such circumstances, the Heroic Spirit Army was actually suppressed by the ordinary human army. It was a one-sided massacre. This proved one thing: Science is power.
Yes, let's enter the world of science and into the stars.
When the infantry formation was on the verge of collapse, the enemy's cavalry finally joined the battle. They seemed to have realized that the reaction speed of the gun-wielding soldiers was only at the level of ordinary humans. They tried to use the Heroic Spirit Cavalry's great mobility advantage to bypass the enemy. However, just as the light cavalry left the formation and galloped toward us, the second round of long-range attacks from the New Eden Confederation almost wiped them out in an instant.
It was a large number of light balls that came from the west. It was very similar to the photon bombs that fell from the sky just now, but slightly smaller in size. Although it was not as powerful as the photon bombs, these light balls were more numerous and more accurate. If the low-Earth orbit bombardment was considered a large-scale suppression, then the photon cannons should be regarded as precise firepower. The light cavalry who had just left the formation were blown into a mess by the light balls. Their defensive capabilities were weaker than the heavy infantry, and they were unprepared for a high-speed charge. After colliding head-on with the shockwave, these light cavalry suffered double the damage from the explosion.
Apart from the cannons that were specifically aimed at the cavalry, about a third of the photon cannons landed in the already crumbling infantry formation. The power armor of the human marines had clearly adopted new technology. They quickly generated a milky white energy shield, completely deflecting the torrent of photons that radiated everywhere on the battlefield. Not only did they not suffer friendly fire from friendly fire, they instead increased the power and range of effect by several times. The Heroic Spirits who were already dying from the barrage of electromagnetic rifles were shrouded by the photon beams, turning into ashes in seconds and returning to the Valhalla.
"Put down your weapons! This is the New Eden Confederation's Divine Expeditionary Force, 'Huberian'. Your living forces have been suppressed by us! Resistance is futile! I repeat, put down your weapons! The Expeditionary Force has surrounded you! Resistance is futile! "
The deafening voice swept through the battlefield like a storm. It was just a shout to persuade the enemy to surrender, but it sounded like a sound wave attack. Regardless of the psychological impact of this persuasion, it sounded shocking just from the physical point of view.
"Wahh!" Yuan Ban and Ilya, who had been dumbfounded by the orbital bombardment and the photon cannons from afar, were shocked back to their senses by the deafening broadcast. "A spaceship! An alien spaceship!! "
The flagship of the New Eden Confederation, the strategic cruiser Huberian, which was more than ten kilometers long, charged into the battlefield using a space jump. The huge hull that connected the two ends of the sky blocked the light of the crimson moon. A series of lights at the bottom only shone on the cold bottom armor of the spaceship, causing it to reflect a metallic luster. Although it couldn't compare to the large-scale warships of the Xiling Empire, it couldn't even compare to our medium-sized warships. In the eyes of Yuan Ban and the others, the huge spaceship that was slowly flying across the sky was a magnificent miracle that could only be seen in science fiction movies.
"Big brother! Big brother, is that your spaceship? " Ilya immediately grabbed my arm and shook it crazily. The little girl's face was filled with extreme excitement. "So powerful!! So Big brother is such a powerful person? "
"It's much more powerful than you think," Teardrop said proudly. "This spaceship doesn't belong to Big Brother. It's just the flagship of one of Big Brother's troops. Compared to our main fleet, it's just a sampan!"
"Officer Zuotian, although what you said is right, it really hurts to hear it."
A voice suddenly came from the side and attracted everyone's attention. I had already noticed that someone was approaching, but when I saw her face, I couldn't help but be surprised. "Kerrigan? Why are you here? "
"I returned to the army to at least make up for what happened in the past. Fortunately, after the end of the world, there are many humans who don't care about my history anymore. They need any strength that they can rely on … Reynolds and I came to retrieve the spaceship that was' stolen 'by the Little Princess. We happened to receive your orders, so we followed the landing troops to the ground. Officer, what kind of enemies are these? They look like ancient people with crude equipment, but their battle prowess is comparable to a fully armed marine. I have never seen such fellows before. "
That's powerful? These are not complete Heroic Spirits. If they were real Heroic Spirits, their battle prowess would definitely be more than one or two times stronger than a normal marine!
Of course, whether they could fight against a galactic battleship was another matter. No one said that a special agent had to be powerful enough to dismantle a Gundam with their bare hands, right? It would already be impressive if a complete Heroic Spirit was a few times stronger than a normal galactic soldier.
After all, I had high hopes for these fellows. I even planned to use them as the special forces of a vassal race. It would be too disappointing if they couldn't even defeat the most ordinary human soldiers of the New Eden Federation.
I didn't explain the problem of the Heroic Spirits to Kerrigan in detail. After all, the information could be found in the public database. Now that the battle was nearing its end, the Roman army, which was so powerful that it made Yuanban despair just a moment ago, had been reduced to a defeated army under the firepower of the galactic army. They fell one by one under the precise fire of the marines. The artillery fire from the west had not stopped, and a concentrated Siege Tank formation had been built there. Under the guidance of Schilling technology, the Kepru humans and the Protoss Protoss had achieved initial integration and leapfrogging. One of the results was the new generation of Photon Cannon. It had the ultra-long range and convenient form change of human siege tanks. The Protoss Photon Cannon had a high rate of fire (compared to normal siege tanks) and high damage, and it could easily attack agile flying units in the air. The overall energy supply used elementary psionic technology to make it last longer. A new Photon Cannon's battle prowess was almost five times that of its predecessor. It was said that this thing had caused the Transformers a lot of trouble. Their big bodies were almost always full damage when faced with the Photon Cannon. In Bubble's words, "Once they run over, red letters will appear above their heads!"
A soldier in a mobile armor retreated from the battle line that had gradually calmed down. He came before us and saluted. "Your Majesty, James Reynolds, Chief Consul of the New Eden Federation, reporting for duty!"
"You'd better lead the charge yourself." I smiled, then signaled to the side with my eyes. "Also, you'd better step back …"
Reynolds lowered his head in confusion. He happened to see Pandora and Visca looking up at him. He immediately shuddered and retreated two meters back.
"Aha, I didn't expect these ancient people to be so powerful!" Tykes' loud voice resounded behind Reynolds. This interstellar criminal who had just regained his freedom seemed to have found joy in life in Reynolds' new government army. He strode before me and saluted. "New Eden Federation Army Captain Tykes is here to await your orders, boss!"
This unlucky fellow happened to be standing where Reynolds had been standing earlier. It just so happened that Pandora and Visca were still looking up at him. Otherwise, when people were unlucky, they would sprain their waist even if they were standing.
Look, he was thrown out.
"Uncle … alien?" Yuan Ban was still in a daze earlier, but she had just come back to her senses. She looked at the "alien soldiers" in front of her with suspicion and fear. "Are these your soldiers?"
"We don't have the honor of becoming a great teacher's warrior." A deep, hoarse voice suddenly resounded in the air, giving Yuan Ban a shock. A tall figure gradually appeared in the air. The latter's strange appearance made the few ordinary people at the scene exclaim in shock. Zeratul came before me and bowed. "We have captured the old human, but the strongest energy being that you requested has perished in the cannon fire. I am very sorry about that."
Uh, Octavian is dead?
Such a powerful Heroic Spirit had caused so much trouble, yet he was blasted to death by a Siege Tank? That was such a pitiful way to die.
As the Roman Heroic Spirit Army's energy source came from the Crimson Moon, Octavian's death didn't cause the soldiers to disappear immediately. Also, the announcement broadcast by the Huberian wouldn't make the Einherjars surrender. Hence, it took some time to eliminate all of them. While the Marines and Dark Templars were cleaning up the battlefield, a skinny old man was thrown in front of us by two tall Proteus warriors.
