The elite landing troops teleported from the Imperial General quickly set up a base under the cover of the Bee Leaders. Even though there were deadly cannons whistling over their heads, these soldiers still worked at high speed like gears, meticulously and meticulously. Apart from broken rocks and twisted metal, the barren land was now covered with a layer of silver, super-strong interstellar alloy. This fast-growing alloy ensured that all facilities in the base could share energy and maintain a stable structure. Then, the soldiers took out their base equipment from their dimensional slots. The ordinary soldiers built a sturdy and sturdy small bunker specifically designed to deal with infantry and secret agents. The heavily-armored soldiers summoned huge cannons. These slow but powerful cannons required three soldiers to provide energy for them. They fused half of their bodies with the cannons and aimed at the advancing enemy in a frenzy. The lightly-armored soldiers deployed countless individual anti-air turrets near the inner circle of the base. These triple-mounted psionic anti-air cannons were modified models of the anti-air cannons of the battleship. They were weaker in power, but at the same time, they greatly reduced the energy consumption. Ordinary soldiers could activate them, and they were perfect for air defense within the atmosphere. The only downside was that they had to ensure the targeting speed and the energy burden on ordinary soldiers. They could only be used within the inner circle of the base, under the cover of other individual fortifications.
As these conventional firepower continued to be in place, we gradually reversed the situation where we were initially suppressed by the enemy's bombardment.
The firepower of the ordinary soldiers gradually replaced the firepower of the heroic soldiers. Although their firepower was much weaker, and the enemy soldiers' psionic shields often blocked their attacks, they had the advantage in numbers and had a wide range of suppression. When Raven 001 descended from the sky, we were surrounded by a sea of fire and lightning. The concentrated artillery fire from our base, the halo of the enemy's attacks when they landed on the joint shield, and the huge shockwaves from the explosions intertwined. It felt as though the entire earth had been adjusted to tremble.
The enemy's reinforcements were endless. They seemed to have given up on their original mission and turned to support the battle here. This made us even more certain that the target of the Avengers' operation was hidden nearby. Ola maintained her teleportation device and continued to send more soldiers from the Empire Admiral to the surface. Even though the enemy's attacks were getting more and more intense, the base seemed to be more secure. In the end, Sandora even sent over a mass-produced Bubble (that's it!). We had to move a few individual bunkers to make space for the mass-produced Bubble so that she could create a psionic storm obelisk.
Err, that thing probably wasn't created by rubbing, but it was more convenient to say it that way.
This unusually difficult and rapidly expanding battlefield had now successfully attracted the attention of the global Avengers. The data sent back from the Empire Admiral showed that other than the enemy in one location, the rest of the Avengers were moving at full speed here. Of course, it was impossible for them to all gather at one location, but I was sure that they would be more than happy to throw all their firepower here. This battlefield had now expanded from a radius of a hundred miles to a three-dimensional battlefield with a radius of a thousand kilometers. The enemy's ground forces, air forces, and all sorts of heavy missiles were bombarding a small base in the middle of the battlefield like a storm. Outside this base, the ground was obviously in a half-melted state and had even sunk tens of meters deep. Our base was like a house that had been forcefully demolished, standing out among the rubble.
"Motherf * cker, he's having a seizure."
Liliana retreated and panted heavily. Even with her SemiGod body, she felt weak and short of breath.
Although the enemies were all ordinary soldiers, it wasn't a lie to say that ants could bite an elephant to death when there were enough of them. There was a limit to the strength of a heroic unit. There were many famous generals in ancient times who were said to have the bravery of ten thousand men, but if you really asked them to kill ten thousand people in one go — even if they harvested ten thousand chives, they would still get nephritis from exhaustion!
I connected to the information link to confirm the current distribution of the global military forces. I noticed that the enemy had focused all of their attention on this battlefield, so I said to Leader Bee, who was still acting as an antenna, "Ola, continue to fortify the base here, but there's no need to defend it. After thirty minutes, regardless of whether the enemy retreats or not, lead the soldiers and retreat."
"Yes, Your Majesty, Ola understands."
"Prepare to move!"
I pulled along Liliana, who was panting like a dead dog, and Shallow Shallow, who was chuckling weirdly as she threw out her ultimate skill. At the same time, I shouted to the five Protoss Cops.
Icetis handsomely put away her longbow, sharp sword, meteor hammer, mace and brick. Like a general who had won a great battle, she led the four of them back. Jingle plopped down on my shoulder and panted softly, "Phew — — Phew — — I'm so tired. Jingle has been sleeping too much these few days and lacks exercise."
I really wanted to tell her that if she hadn't jumped up and down excitedly like a shaman when she was healing everyone's injuries, she wouldn't have been so tired. This little thing's stamina was all used in useless places, such as the eight character dance.
"123, you stay here." Just as everyone was about to set off, Jingle suddenly climbed up from my shoulder and pointed at 123, who had been acting as a meat shield for the day. I turned my head in confusion, only to see the little thing's serious expression, "Mm, strengthen the defenses here so that they can retreat safely. After we leave, the fighting strength of this place will be greatly reduced!"
"Understood." Ilson nodded. He raised his heavy shield and ran towards the gap that was the most heavily bombarded, continuing to act as Huang Jiguang.
I looked at the little thing, who had suddenly displayed an impressive aura, in astonishment. I was stunned for a long time before I remembered that Ilson was Jingle's subordinate.
"We will walk into the shadows. Do not stray more than fifty meters away from me."
Monina checked the dual blades in her hands before standing in the middle of the group and solemnly reminded us. Soon after, with her feet as the center, a circular shadow rapidly expanded.
Before I could ask what it was, the shadow that was as thick as ink spread to my feet. Then, the scenery around me changed and everything became unfamiliar.
The gloomy, dirty sky turned pitch-black. Occasionally, large lumps of objects wrapped in pale fog would streak across the sky. I was stunned for a moment before I remembered that those should be the wreckage of a battleship flying through the atmosphere at high speed. The ground beneath my feet had turned into a chaotic white 'snowfield' that seemed to be drifting with thick fog. The soldiers who were fighting beside me and the firing turrets had turned into grayish-white or grayish-black silhouettes. I couldn't see the details of their bodies at all, only their original silhouettes that were roughly filled with turbid colors. The deafening explosions turned into a distant murmur, as if a voice came from the end of the world. There were still cannon fire flying in the air, but it was like a child's clumsy scribble, simplified into pale white lines or color blocks.
The world had turned into a negative.
"Please follow closely."
Monina's voice sounded not far from me, jolting me out of my momentary shock. It was only then that I realized that everyone had already walked more than ten meters away. Remembering Monina's reminder of 'not straying more than fifty meters away,' I hurriedly jogged to catch up to the others.
This was the first time that I had ever experienced such a situation, so I found it rather interesting. Even Qian Qian and her older sister in her dark form were in high spirits as they observed our surroundings. We speedily passed through the lava crossfire zone, and along the way, we encountered a small group of avengers who were furiously firing at the enemy camp behind us. However, they didn't seem to notice our existence at all. These enemies now looked just like strange paper dolls, like clumsy children's drawings. When Shallow Shallow brushed past one of these 'paper dolls', she suddenly charged forward and tore it into pieces with her bare hands. It was as if she was really tearing paper.
"In the Dark Shadow Realm, killing is a very simple matter. Very few people are aware of what their shadow looks like in the 'world' system, nor do they know how to protect it." Monina pulled Shallow Shallow back, who was about to continue, as she explained to us, "But it's best not to make too much of a commotion right now. The general information radar created by Schilling Technology can see parts of the silhouettes in the Dark Shadow Realm. If you act rashly, you will be exposed, and it will be difficult to advance further."
Shallow Shallow harrumphed coldly, but she still followed us obediently. Her sister chuckled softly and threw a piece of paper on the ground …
"This calamity beacon will only be activated after we leave the Dark Shadow Realm. By then, the enemy won't be able to detect anything, right?"
Her sister asked with a bright smile. Monina stumbled and lowered her head to hurry on.
Even though we didn't use teleportation, our speed was still astonishing. A few minutes later, we started to pass through the enemy's blockade. Crazily twisting grayish-white shadows kept running around us. I could hear the faint sounds of cannon fire and battle cries as we passed through them without anyone noticing. I felt as if I was experiencing a bizarre dream and Mo Nina was the one leading me out of it. It was such a wondrous feeling.
"There are so many of them," Liliana said as she hung on my back and shaded her eyes with her hand. She clicked her tongue and said, "Reinforcements come one after another. It's as though all the Avengers have landed here. Can those soldiers last for thirty minutes?"
I thought about it and felt that it depended on whether Ilson could last for thirty minutes. Based on his defense, which could withstand a few hits from the Milky Way, it shouldn't be a problem for him to last for thirty minutes in this kind of atmospheric conflict. Hence, I nodded. "Thirty minutes is not a problem. We have to move fast now. We have to finish this before the enemy knows that we have arrived. The Avengers are a bunch of people who are good at dying together with their enemies. If they find out about our operation, they might destroy all the clues as well. "
Ten minutes later, we finally arrived at the predetermined location and left the Dark Shadow Realm.
According to the coordinates that Sandora had sent us, this was the place where the Avengers had landed and had been searching until now. Even after we had caused such a huge commotion, not a single soldier had left this place.
It was a huge, wide, funnel-shaped crater. It had an eerily smooth inner wall and a very regular shape. Although it looked natural, its shape was a little artificial. And in the center of the funnel that was almost a hundred meters deep, there was a metal pipe that protruded about two meters out of the ground. The pipe went straight down, and there was no telling how deep it was.
"It's an underground structure, very, very deep." The big sister glanced at the Information Terminal. "But it's a very simple structure. It looks like a vertical silo or something. It's very old."
"How many enemies are there down there?"
Icetis drew out her bow and arrows, but suddenly considered that she might not be able to use them in the space below. So, she swapped her bow and arrows for a spiked mace and a morningstar. The equipment change was very elegant.
"Less than I thought." The big sister was a little surprised, but we quickly thought of the same thing. This probably meant that the troops down there were elites. Just like how we had personally landed on this planet, the enemy's leader had probably come to this mine personally. While our ordinary soldiers were exhausting the enemy's troops, the commander of the Avengers was personally supervising another project. "But this is a good thing. It seems that the enemy really thought that the landing troops were trapped and sent many people to besiege the place. They didn't expect us to use the Protoss's power to rush here through the Dark Shadow Realm."
"Forget it. Let's fight on!"
Without another word, Icetis charged into the mine ahead. That was what we all thought as well, and so we followed closely behind.
Just like what the radar had detected, it was a deep well that went straight down. However, its inner wall wasn't smooth. As we got closer, we realized that the diameter of the metal well was shocking. It was almost a hundred meters in diameter, and on its inner wall, there were complicated spiral ladders and various pipes of unknown use.
Having the experience of exploring historical sites with Uncle Zaku, and having read a lot of related information, I immediately deduced that this was actually an ancient historical site. Moreover, it wasn't something left behind by the old Empire. This should be a mine left behind by the ancient Mobrador civilization. Based on the traces left behind on the inner wall, this mine should have been discovered by the modern Mobrador people long ago and explored more than once.
A very, very inconspicuous historical site. The Avengers had gone through so much trouble to land on Planet Brown Earth despite the Imperial Army's orbital bombardment, all for this mine?
Filled with doubts, we quickly moved deeper into the mine. We could no longer hear the roar of the cannons in the distance. Only the low rumble of the air flow in the mine could be heard. The unusually wide entrance had now become a small bright spot above our heads, and the bottom of the mine was still out of our sight.
A sudden sense of danger made me pause. Then, almost instinctively, I released an energy vortex next to me. As dazzling blue sparks flew in all directions, a charred soldier of the Avengers appeared out of thin air. Then, he collided with the guardrail at the side and free-fell into the bottomless mine.
"High-level Special Agent!"
I immediately shouted a reminder. Icetis had already waved her hand and released a small golden ball of light that kept bouncing around. The ball of light suddenly shot into the air and exploded violently. Golden Holy Light instantly filled a rather long tunnel. "All-Seeing Eye!"
Countless figures that were leaping around in midair revealed themselves under the illumination of the Holy Light. The closest one was already less than two meters away from my sister. He was the fastest one, but also the most unlucky one. A second later, this Avengers Special Agent, whose combat power was over a hundred thousand, slipped on the guardrail and broke half of the joints in his body. He fell down the spiral staircase on the wall while flailing his limbs.
Monina entered her shadow state again and disappeared from everyone's sight. I could only faintly observe her movements in another dimension through my mental senses. She charged into the enemy's encirclement, and then the Avengers that were charging at her mysteriously lost their lives one after another. Shallow Shallow seemed even more excited than before when she reentered the battle. Her fighting style was still as frightening as ever. At the start of the battle, she was just like us, trying not to kill anyone. This was not an easy feat for Shallow Shallow, who possessed pure black magic. But now, after confirming that the enemy was just a "Avengers' Remains" with a shell but no soul, this girl finally confirmed that she did not need any suppression. She began to vent her bloodlust to her heart's content. Amidst waves of chilling venomous words, she disassembled the enemy soldiers that kept attacking her. Speaking of which, has this girl been holding back for too long?
Energy Siphon!
I activated the Energy Siphon Forcefield, which was the most useful skill in this situation. All the Revenge Army agents who tried to assassinate me at close range would instantly run out of energy and die the moment they came into contact with this forcefield. This made it so that the enemies didn't dare to get close to me. But at this moment, a loud voice came from behind me. "Aha! Looks like we made it in time! Is everyone alright? "
I turned around and saw Eersen, who had a bird's nest head and was covered in soot, rumbling towards us from behind. Judging from the burn marks on his body, I could tell that he had been working hard to complete his mission.
I looked at the time. Indeed, thirty minutes had passed. According to the plan, the landing troops that were used to confuse the enemy's vision had already moved (Their mission was completed the moment our operation here began). Of course, not all of them had retreated. A portion of them had been ordered to head to other battlefields around the world to see if they could rescue the Mobrado miners that had yet to be completely slaughtered. Eersen, on the other hand, did not have this mission, so he ran over to help.
"Wow, it was really dangerous when we came over just now. If I hadn't run fast enough, I would have been killed by the bombardment. Your heavy cannons hurt too much." Eersen comfortably enjoyed Jingle's healing light as he boasted about his heroic experience. The main reason why he had boasted about the Empire's heavy cannons was to prove how sturdy and durable he was.
After all the special forces had been wiped out, the enemy had already begun suppressing us with their firepower. Big Sis kept reversing the attacks as she glanced down.
"Just jump. We don't have time to waste on these fellows!"
Big Sis' suggestion was correct. Icetis and Monina exchanged glances and kicked Eersen down at the same time. Three minutes later, the other party's exclamation was still full of energy. Then, there was the faint sound of a heavy object landing on the ground. The female gangster high-fived a certain black-bellied sister and said, "Alright, let's jump!"
Everyone jumped down …
