Chapter 96: Theater Stage
Chapter 96 · Theater Stage
The Queen failed - as expected.
It did not rely on its physique to rush into the front line, because that would only trample its offspring into pieces. At the same time, its overly large size is undoubtedly the most attractive target for firepower. And even if it is implanted with many mechanical measures, it cannot stop the storm-like steel tide.
Therefore, its decision is the impact of mental power - the reincarnationists carry such a large number of servants as targets, so there is no reason for it not to use them. The large-scale control from the alien queen hit all the Weland soldiers like a tide, trying to modify their cognition and make them turn their guns towards every living thing around them.
It failed, and it became Zhan Lan's whetstone.
Before the march reached the end, Zhan Lan received a hint. And before the reincarnationists turned back, the importance of mentalists had already become an internal consensus of the Zhongzhou team.
As someone who copied the answers, Jiang Yu would not forget that in the original Alien 4, Zhan Lan, who originally had no ability to control the reverse species, could use the mental power amplification metal on the body to directly increase the strength of the mental power to the extent that it could control two reverse species at the same time. And a suitable scenario can naturally make a suitable suggestion, and the remaining resources in Zhan Lan's hands are enough for her to complete this purchase.
She was reminded that she used the mental power amplification metal-when the mental power impact of the Alien Queen arrived, she ran into the protection built by Zhan Lan, whose mental power had been temporarily and massively improved. The Hammer of Destruction hit the Wall of Sighs, and the final result was that a series of chaotic noises and mutterings burst out in the minds of all living creatures present, including the Reincarnators. Zhan Lan's eyes, ears, mouth and nose were bleeding, while the Alien Queen was not injured.
There was no injury, but the strategic goal was not reached-it failed to break through the mental power defense line built by Zhan Lan. It wasted this only time window to use tactical actions.
The human offensive was not curbed. The next moment, Xia, who had switched to turret mode, opened fire together with Zero, who had completed calibration. The rain of death poured down on the alien army.
…………………………
——Just as expected.
‘Boom! ! !’ A large-scale anti-biological artillery fire broke out in front of Jiang Yu. He was at the forefront, so the power of these anti-biological bombs naturally vented on the final march of the aliens. The shrapnel specially used to attack and kill organic bodies easily tore open the silicon armor of these modified aliens, piercing the fragments into their shells, and then their flesh and blood turned gray in large areas.
They screamed sharply—the aliens would not scream unless it was necessary. But organisms are organisms after all. When the pain that exceeds the upper limit of nerve load stimulates the spinal cord and brain. Biochemistry will overcome all indestructible wills, making them lose the pride of being top hunters.
——Pretending.
Jiang Yu thought, and the power of the storm shield in his hand was increased to the maximum. While blocking the alien offensive, it also blocked all the anti-biological shrapnel that might splash to the rear. With him as the front fortress, the tide of firepower from the rear will not stop.
Straight lines, gun positions, charging melee troops, solid barriers - what Jiang Yu saw was undoubtedly the old facts that had been proven countless times with the remains of flesh and blood after the invention of the Maxim machine gun and trench barbed wire. It was obviously the space age, but the tactics of the early World War I were used and the corresponding consumption was played. When the point-line magic eye was triggered, the alien queen who originally planned to fight to the death was blocked at the back of the front line because of broken limbs, and some insignificant delusions appeared in Jiang Yu's cognition.
He felt as if he was not here.
He felt as if he was on a battlefield during World War I - the well-trained new army set up barbed wire and deployed machine guns. And a large number of old-fashioned cavalry rushed out from the other side of the front line, the battlefield planned by the new army. The array was neat and the swords and guns were shining. With the determination to die, they exposed themselves and their comrades to the firing range of heavy machine guns.
The number of cavalry was fifty times, or even a hundred times, that of the new army. The individual quality of the cavalry was far superior to that of the new army. They controlled their horses just like controlling their own hands and feet. Both sides knew that as long as the cavalry could break through the front line, rush into the trenches, and swing the sabers on the heads of the machine gunners, then what would happen next would only be a hearty victory or a massacre.
But that did not happen.
The dense firepower network hit the cavalry, even if they were equipped with heavy breastplates. These most elite soldiers were easily penetrated and fell. The cannons from the rear of the firepower point fired continuously, and in the thunder, the shrapnel brought pieces of death. And even those most elite and lucky champion riders. When they felt that they were only one step away from the goal, they and their horses crashed into the seemingly fragile but indestructible barbed wire.
Jiang Yu was the barbed wire. He returned to the original battlefield. There are often pits and mines near the barbed wire, and they are actually no different from the thunder hammer in his hand.
‘Boom—’ The thunder hammer swung, and the lightning from the molecular disintegration force field tore apart the strongest armor. Both the thick silicon shell and the invisible biological force field were easily torn apart. Because in addition to the molecular disintegration force field, there are also directional waves of telekinesis and a series of blood inflammation explosions.
One of the reverse species died under the Thunder Hammer - it was bombarded by anti-bio bombs and weakened by vampire orbs before dying. When the thunder hammer in Jiang Yu's hand fell, its absolute strength had been reduced to the level of an alien guard. Behind it, dozens of real guard aliens were shattered into powder in the hail of pulse bullets.
They can't get through it - they can't get over the barbed wire. Even if a few manage to climb around the metal outer wall, what awaits them is the blazing ax light that cuts through the air, and the dark blue pulse cannon.
They are dying.
The alien empress, whose legs were cut off by Zero Point, threw herself to the ground and used her claws to move her huge upper body forward. Then in the next second, more dense explosives and artillery fire fell on it. And in front of it is still a solid 'barbed wire fence'.
During World War I, tanks already appeared on the battlefield.
Tanks could easily flatten barbed wire, but soldiers quickly iterated on anti-tank stakes. Use a three-dimensional cross structure to jam the tank's tracks at the end of the front line, and then there will naturally be anti-tank mines, explosive packs, and even "dung-pulling treasures" waiting for it.
The Empress is a tank, a tank without a turret. And Jiang Yu is the anti-tank stake, using the storm shield set up to resist the empress' physical strength.
But the delusion returned. There were no tanks and no barbed wire. Jiang Yu knew that he was fighting, but he felt like he had returned to an older generation. He felt that he had become a gladiator in ancient Rome, holding up his shield and sword under the cheers of the crowd, while a fierce lion appeared directly in front of him.
The lion's claws are sharp, but the shield in his hand is strong. Therefore, victory or defeat depends only on the first blow of the confrontation.
‘Bang——’ The strongest blow is also the fastest one. The slap of the sharp claws hit the gladiator's shield, and the strong force almost knocked the gladiator away, and then the lion could calmly add the next claw. Penetrate the solid shell and taste the fresh, unconcealed flesh.
It didn't do it.
The heaviest blow failed to lift the shield, and the fighter's lower body showed solid skills. The Lions who failed to obtain results will naturally have to pay the price of taking the first shot.
A fighter's sword is as sharp as his shield is strong. The swing of the sword cut off one of the lion's front paws. The lion howled in pain, and with its blood aroused by the pain, it used its body, its huge mouth, and its other sharp claw to bite hard.
But what's the use? The most likely first attack has been missed, and the rest of the struggle is destined to be in vain. The fighter only needs to calm down, and then he can launch a counterattack in support and kill the lion.
——Am I a fighter?
Jiang Yu asked herself.
--No, I am not. I am the sword and the shield. The fighter is the team itself.
His defense is impenetrable, even if he loses in the duel with the Empress. It was nothing more than being beaten to a pulp. But the empress' claw attacks could not break through her own armor. Therefore, the "flesh and blood" who are really threatened are the teammates behind him. Once she didn't set up her shield and stabilize her posture, the empress could easily get past her and then massacre her.
——So, what am I confused about, what am I worried about?
The fight with the lion is still going on. However, there was already a roaring tsunami from the audience cheering around the arena. Reality and fantasy intersect. While fighting to the death, my mind is still thinking.
What to think about? What are you hesitating about?
The answer is not complicated, it can even be called concise and clear. That's... why is it a gladiatorial battle, why is it an arena? Why was there a machine gun on the barbed wire fence, and why was the cavalry killed on the barbed wire fence?
What is the most important reason why cavalrymen crashed and died on barbed wire fences? Is it because the new army's weapons are advanced? Are machine guns reliable? No, it's because the cavalry can only charge from the front of the battlefield. It was like an alien military force that could only squeeze in from the end of the passage.
A fighter kills a lion because his shield is good enough? Is the sword sharp enough? Is the technology sophisticated enough? No, the lion will die. It's because it has fallen into the arena and can only face battles instead of relying on the familiar jungles and grasslands. Just like the alien empress who had been severely injured, she had no choice but to break through head-on.
so……
‘Pfft—’ The fighter’s sword pierced the lion’s neck. Death has arrived, and the arena is filled with joy.
The fighter raised his eyes among the cheering crowd. The host of the gladiator pushed the bridge of his nose, his glasses flashing with cold light.
All illusions disappeared, and Jiang Yu returned to the real battlefield. And the huge remains of the Alien Empress fell in front of her. Its huge crown was smashed by its own hammer. The fiery blood inflammation that Zheng Zha poured into its body weakened its life force. The fatal blow from Zero Point penetrated the shattered crown and tore apart the thinking brain.
——[Kill the Alien Empress, participate with all members, and obtain D to C-level branch plots and corresponding reward points based on their contribution. 】
——[Reincarnator Jiang Yu, obtain a C-level branch plot and receive 2,000 reward points. 】
Jiang Yu lifted the war hammer, and green blood slipped from the hammer handle. Wieland's soldiers cheered like the audience in the arena.
C-level branch, unprecedented, such easy gains.
No need to fight hard, no need to take risks. Everyone just needs to do their duty, and the reward will fall into their hands.
——Chu Xuan.
An unreasonable thought emerged in Jiang Yu's mind. As the beneficiary, he actually has no position to have such an idea.
But...
——You made things... too simple.
