Chapter 224: Victory Across the Board! 1 Casualty Rate! Decapitation!

Chapter 224 Victory across the board! 1% casualty rate! Decapitation!

Not long after, V and his team arrived at a corner.

The pulse scanner in the hands of the scouts showed that a large number of harvester soldiers had gathered in the left area not far from them.

These soldiers were all elite soldiers wearing exoskeletons and holding energy guns. They were nearly two meters tall and controlled the path to the headquarters command center.

Obviously, their destination was in sight!

"Team Two stays here to protect the engineer team, and Team One follows me!"

V ordered through the team communication device.

On the side of the harvester soldiers who were on high alert, the soldiers who had received the queen's instructions through the collective consciousness system looked around vigilantly.

From time to time, a "hissing" tremor came out of their mouths, as if they were having a conversation.

Although these soldier ants didn't know how the human soldiers locked onto their command center, at this point, the only thing they could do was to stop the humans at all costs.

If the human commandos really sneaked in here and destroyed their control room, this mothership would be completely useless!

At that time, let alone launching a counterattack against the human fleet outside, I'm afraid even turning around and escaping from the solar system would be a fantasy.

At this time, a heavy sound of "dong dong" suddenly sounded, and when the soldier ants turned their heads, they saw a huge "tin can" rushing towards them!

"Hiss--!"

While the soldier ants were screaming in fear and panic, V had already chopped down the nearest harvester with a chain saw sword.

Until this moment, these soldier ants hurriedly raised their guns, aimed at V and pulled the trigger.

As the whistling energy bombs came, V and his Astartes warriors, while trying their best to dodge, also took big steps forward.

Bang! Bang!

When the energy bombs landed on the shell of the heavy armor MarkX power armor, they were basically blocked and offset by the thick ceramic steel material.

As long as V and his warriors rushed fast enough and didn't let the soldier ants lock on them easily, they were actually not afraid of these insignificant energy bombs!

Although the energy bombs fired by the soldier ants were quite dense, they were not enough to break the power armor on V's body in a short time, leaving only some burnt scars at most.

At this moment, V, who had led his team into the enemy camp, swung the chainsaw sword in his hand and killed them all.

The giant sword in his right hand and the grenade gun in his left hand.

Only the sound effects of the attack, like the rhythm of the melody of death, were heard, hitting the life strings of these soldier ants.

Faced with this swift attack, the harvester soldiers were completely unable to organize any effective counterattack.

The exoskeleton devices on their bodies were, in fact, only good-looking but useless auxiliary tools, which could not compare to V, a super-large canned man who cultivated both internal and external skills.

Even if V took off his power armor and used pure physical strength to fight against these weak heretic bugs, he would still be the winner.

At this moment, facing the Astartes warriors who were like wolves among sheep, the most commonly used and effective offensive means of the harvester soldiers - the human wave tactics - was completely ineffective!

In front of these dozens of large iron canned warriors, they were like pigs and dogs at the mercy of others. Once they got close, they would be chopped and bombarded into slag by swords and cannons.

At this moment, V's powerful combat capability as a Primaris warrior was fully demonstrated.

On the front battlefield, all the soldier ants were attracted by V alone, and the Astartes warriors of the second team took the opportunity to seize the favorable terrain.

Then, an alternating firepower network was set up to help V clear the soldier ant units below.

Dadada——!

Boom!!

The explosive submachine gun, the Kangtao intelligent machine gun, and the plasma cannon sniper interweave a graceful death song, which spread among the harvester soldier ants.

In less than five minutes, this Astartes warrior completed the task of eliminating the soldier ants in the area, and more than half of the soldier ants died at the hands of V alone!

After removing these obstacles, the warriors gathered together again and continued to escort the engineer team forward to the entrance of the command center.

There was a tightly closed gate that blocked the entrance and exit, but this was not a difficult task for V.

After taking a closer look at the gate and knocking on it with his hand, V kicked it out fiercely after estimating the approximate strength of the door.

With a loud "boom", this seemingly solid door was kicked open by V.

Song Zhaomei, who was standing behind him, was shocked and stunned.

Ta-ta--!

When the door was kicked open, the Astartes warriors on both sides immediately rushed into the command center.

Dozens of big-headed doll-like reapers were standing in front of their respective control consoles, giving various command and control instructions.

When the two sides looked at each other, the reapers subconsciously wanted to control these human soldiers through brain wave mind control.

However, with thick power armor, the brain wave attacks of the reapers were useless to the soldiers!

Without any nonsense or hesitation, the Astartes warriors rushed in and chopped and stomped on the heretic bugs inside, killing them all.

In order to ensure that the devices in the command center are not damaged by bullets as much as possible, the soldiers had to work hard to catch and kill the harvesters one by one.

"Hiss!!"

When they saw a group of terrifying tall "tin cans" tearing their own kind alive, beheading them, or punching them to pieces.

The harvesters in this command center felt dizzy and felt like they were in a fallen hell.

The painful perception that made them tear their hearts and lungs was clearly conveyed through the sharing of consciousness information.

This also caused some harvesters to fall into a state of great pain even though they had not been stabbed.

Puff! !

As the last harvester was split in two by V's chainsaw sword, he said coldly to the engineering team behind him in a low voice:

"Safe."

After looking at V for a second, Song Zhaomei nodded and immediately took over the control panel of the harvester with the engineers behind him.

Since the basic network structure of the Reaper civilization is the same as that used by humans, both are binary-based digital systems.

Therefore, Song Zhaomei only took a simple look and basically understood the main functions and mechanisms of these control panels.

Immediately, with Song Zhaomei's nod, several engineers took out their tablets and computer devices, as well as related hacking tools, and began to implant virus programs.

At this time, V came to Song Zhaomei's side with a heavy step, looked at the familiar codes in front of him, and asked:

"With your ability, can you take over the system of the Reaper mothership in three minutes?"

V used to be a hacker with excellent technical ability. Whether it was the ICE intrusion protocol or the black wall intrusion, he could basically do it.

Although V has been in the Iron Hands Legion for these years, busy carrying out various conquest operations, he has not forgotten his old business.

In fact, V's current network hacking ability is really not much worse than those engineers in front of him!

Facing V's question, Song Zhaomei responded without looking back: "If it is just a simple virus implantation to paralyze the operating system of the Reaper mothership, we only need three seconds."

"But now what we have to do is to take over all the control of the mothership, which will take at least three minutes."

In fact, it doesn't take three minutes, but Song Zhaomei is using the Reaper's operating system for the first time, so she still needs one or two minutes to adapt to the control console.

"Okay, you continue."

V nodded, then turned on the internal communication device and reported to the headquarters: "Morgan, everything is going well here. It will take about three minutes to fix the Reaper's operating system."

"Yes, I got it."

After hearing Morgan Blackhand's voice, V didn't say anything more and turned around and left the command center.

Next, his task is to lead this Astartes warrior to build a defensive firepower line to ensure that the engineers inside are not disturbed in any way.

After a while, the Reaper soldiers who came from all directions, under the queen's command, began to try to retake the control room.

Unfortunately, with V and his group of warriors standing here as steady as a mountain, the newly arrived soldier ants quickly disintegrated and collapsed, and failed to reoccupy the command center.

…

…

At the same time, in the airborne area far away at the other end of the mothership, Johnny and Jack were the main assault force.

Boom! !

The continuous explosions and dense energy bombs like rain, the bombs shuttled back and forth, and set off waves of flying sand and rocks on the battlefield.

Although in terms of firepower, this Astartes commando and the newly arrived reinforcements can withstand the attack of the harvester soldier ants.

But the number of harvester populations in front of them is too large. The soldiers ants all over the mountains and plains are pouring in from all directions, and the soldiers' defense line has to be further compressed.

There is no way, the soldiers' ammunition has been almost consumed. If it weren't for the weapons and ammunition brought by the reinforcements, they might not be able to hold on!

"Fuck it!"

"How can we not kill all these damn heretic bugs? We've almost killed hundreds of thousands of them. Why can't we end it?"

At this time, Jack Wells' hands were numb from the long-term shooting, and he couldn't help cursing.

Through the screen display on the tactical helmet, Jack could see that the "red dots" representing the harvester soldier ants had never decreased from beginning to end.

There were even more and more!

After killing one batch, another batch appeared. There was no way to end the battle. Even their ammunition had been changed twice.

If it weren't for the supplies delivered by the backup troops, they would have drawn their chainsaw swords and fought hand-to-hand with the millions of soldier ants in front of them.

After changing the magazine again and pulling the bolt, Jack simply lifted the Vulcan Gatling gun that had just been delivered, aimed at the soldier ants less than a kilometer away from the front line, and pulled the trigger:

"Fuck! Kill you damn heretics!"

Bang!

Bang——!

Instantly, the Gatling gun with blue flames spit out bullets and flew into the battlefield, blasting the dense harvester soldier ants into two pieces.

But not long after, Jack heard the "click" reminder of the empty chamber hanging up, and he continued to change the magazine, preparing to shoot an unknown number of rounds.

However, Jack Wells did not rush to fire. Instead, he handed the Vulcan Gatling to the soldiers beside him, and he quickly came to the communication station.

"When will the reinforcements and ammunition packs arrive? I'm almost out of bullets here!"

As soon as Jack picked up the communication device, he loudly asked about the situation at the headquarters.

[It will take about eight minutes! 】

Immediately, a response came from the headquarters.

"..."

Jack Wells was silent for a moment. He first zoomed in on the holographic screen of the tactical helmet and carefully checked the dynamics of the battlefield and the ammunition consumption.

At this time, they have shrunk their battle line to the vicinity of the landing area. The surrounding giant troops can only stand up a defensive line, but cannot advance outward.

'Oh shit! I hope we can survive the arrival of reinforcements and airdrops. I don't want to play bayonets with these disgusting heretics. ’

After cursing secretly in his mind, Jack continued to switch to more screen displays to view the first battle perspectives of other troops.

In the AST power armor team, Rita, the full-metal bitch from Earth 003's "Edge of Tomorrow", is leading her troops in a melee fight with the Reapers in front of the battle line.

I have to admit that Rita, who is experienced in combat, still has two skills. The Titan mecha controlled by her is quite high in terms of flexibility and aggressiveness.

The troops led by Rita managed to hold up the front line in the northwest corner with hand-to-hand combat. She killed a large number of soldier ants and accumulated them into a mountain of corpses.

Swish——! !

The laser cannon, which had been charged again, was blasted from the hands of the Astartes "Iron Man" warriors. Large swaths of soldier ants were quickly annihilated under the strafing force of this flying force.

But similarly, these Astartes warriors wearing Hulkbuster armor were also attacked by tens of thousands of energy cannons and bullets.

boom……!

Suddenly, several energy cannons the size of watermelons flew quickly from a distance and hit an Astartes warrior directly.

Fortunately, there was an anti-matter shield on the Hulkbuster armor, which helped the warrior offset some damage, but the huge impact still knocked him to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Jack Wills reacted immediately and reminded loudly through all communications:

【Attention all departments! 】

[The enemy used a heavy energy cannon. Be careful of the enemy's artillery and make sure your armor has an anti-matter shield! 】

As soon as he finished speaking, Jack couldn't help but start cursing again. How could those sons of bitches at the headquarters be so annoying in delivering ammunition?

But before Jack could curse, Morgan Blackhand's voice sounded in his headset:

[This is the Endless-class flagship command center. Our hackers have taken over the main control room of the Reaper mothership, and the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower system has been paralyzed. 】

[Next, we will send two RCS-class armored cruisers into the landing area to drop reinforcements, weapons and ammunition for you. 】

[Everyone, please hold on, the dawn of victory is right in front of you. 】

At this moment, all the Astartes warriors suddenly became excited. The progress of this interstellar war finally became clear!

Sure enough, just after Morgan Blackhand finished speaking, a large number of fighter jets, carrying countless bombs, began to fly over the landing area.

Swish——! !

I saw the aerial formation quickly deploying the bomb bay on the belly of the aircraft and dropping various bombs among the soldier ants.

In an instant, countless small mushroom clouds rose among the reaper ants, and the stench of rotten, burnt gas filled the air.

Fortunately, I have sealed power armor on me, otherwise just the smell of grilled bugs could stun a large number of warriors!

boom--! ! !

The fighter group dropped a kind of miniature plasma bomb. The TNT equivalent released by this bomb was close to about 20,000 tons.

The rapidly expanding high-temperature blue fireball instantly vaporized and annihilated all the Reaper soldier ants underneath.

The strong shock wave set off by the explosion easily tore apart the exoskeleton devices of many soldier ants, and shocked the thin soldier ants to death alive.

In just a blink of an eye, the Reaper soldier ants all over the mountains and plains turned into countless huge craters blasted by bombs, and the space in front of the commando line suddenly became much emptyer.

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, the Astartes warriors below breathed a sigh of relief and also let out excited war roars.

"Cool!!"

At this moment, Jack Wells looked at the gap in the Reaper mothership not far behind him, where carrier-based aircraft of giant companies were constantly emerging.

He understood that the countdown to this war had entered, and what he wanted to see next was the beheading operation on David's side!

Afterwards, Jack Wells turned his attention back to the battlefield. After looking at the casualties of the team, he immediately gave instructions to his men:

"Now, bring enough ammunition with you immediately, rush over and crush the heretic bugs on the opposite side into scum, leaving no one behind!"

After the words fell, Jack took the lead and led the large forces to launch a counterattack. The soldiers who held their breath in their hearts also let out war cries and followed the commander to attack.

…

At this moment.

In the outer star field of the Reaper mothership, the Reaper carrier-based aircraft group, which had lost the command of the headquarters, began to float around in the star field like kites with broken strings, flying back and forth.

Faced with these threatened aircraft fleets, the giant company's close-in defense guns no longer needed to be polite to the Reapers, they directly aimed and fired, destroying carrier-based aircraft one after another like swatting flies.

And in the command center of the Infinity-class flagship headquarters.

"Report to the commander!"

"Our engineers have taken over the command system of the Reapers and uploaded the information inside to our company headquarters."

"The landing area where Deputy Captain Jack is located has also received equipment and ammunition supplies, as well as firepower assistance from carrier-based aircraft."

"..."

Listening to the various reports from the front line, Morgan Blackhand, who was sitting at the central control console, did not show any joy or relaxation.

His eyes were still fixed on the holographic screen in front of him.

Just now, Leon had a video conversation with Morgan. Under Leon's instructions, Morgan had to do more than just take down the Reaper mothership.

And their queen!

And now, David and Reed are still on the mission and have not produced any results.

After thinking calmly for a moment, Morgan Blackhand spoke and asked the staff: "Now start reporting the status of the fleet array and the casualties."

Not long after, the staff responsible for data statistics sent the latest data table to Morgan.

[In this "Independence Day" operation plan, the integrity of the Endless Array remains at 99.99%, with no obvious damage. ]

[137 combatants died, 384 were injured, and the total personnel loss did not exceed 1%! ]

After fighting an interstellar war for nearly a whole day, the casualties on the Universal Enterprise side were less than 1%.

Such an excellent combat loss ratio cannot be achieved by any 003 Earth troops.

Morgan Blackhand's slightly solemn face eased a little. There was no major damage in this combat operation, which was already a very good result.

After simply relaxing his mind, Morgan continued to issue new orders:

"Notify all departments to continue to press forward to the landing area and gather more troops to support the commandos on the front line."

"Cause as much firepower as possible to keep the Reaper mothership in a state of chaos, and be sure to find the location of the Reaper Queen!"

After speaking, the communicator below immediately responded:

"Yes!"

Here, Morgan had just finished giving instructions to the people below, and the information from the main control console of the Wanjie Base headquarters was sent to his screen again.

"..."

...

Just when the front lines of the battlefields had made breakthrough progress, David and Li De, who were still sitting in the cabin, were hovering over the designated target area.

While patiently waiting for the target person, they also learned various real-time data through the holographic screen.

Including the casualties of this battle.

When he learned that the casualties this time were less than 1%, the young and energetic David couldn't help laughing out loud.

But after being warned by Reed with a glare, he suppressed his joy.

That's true. After all, David's part is crucial. His comrades on the front line have basically won the victory. He just needs this shiver to make a perfect ending!

At this time, the shuttle that captured the target person's trace began to descend rapidly.

Through the shared picture sent back by the driver, David and Reed saw the long-silent behind the scenes, the Reaper Queen walked out of a mysterious fortress.

"Finally, we have caught her!"

David rubbed his hands excitedly, wishing to pounce immediately and insert the matrix access device into the queen's brain.

As the speed of the Skyhawk shuttle continued to increase, David's heart began to beat rapidly involuntarily. At this moment, his nerve activity was quite high.

It was rare to be the key male lead in an action in the heavens. David was determined to seize this hard-won opportunity.

"Report, there are 15 seconds to reach the designated area, please be ready!"

The driver reminded using the communication equipment.

"Got it."

After saying that, David, Li De and others immediately prepared for the battle. After they came to the cabin door, they silently counted down in their hearts.

'3, 2, 1! '

Soon, Li De, David and other Astartes warriors almost jumped out of the cabin at the same time, and then used the anti-Hulk device as a propeller.

Whoosh! !

David felt the strong wind blowing on his cheeks, and looking at the Reaper Queen getting closer and closer to him, he adjusted the angle and commanded everyone to gather and fire.

Bang...!

More than a dozen Astartes warriors stretched out their palms and fired small laser cannons with palm thunder. Only to see the energy ball with incandescent light passing through the air.

Straight to the ground.

At this moment, outside the underground fortress not far from the command center of the Reaper mothership headquarters, a transport boat was slowly coming to the queen.

Obviously, this is the queen's escape tool!

It was going to leave this mothership and go to another galaxy to bring in other reinforcements, and continue to compete with the human civilization here.

But the next second, more than a dozen laser energy balls suddenly bombarded the ground, blowing the transport boat in front of the Reaper Queen into pieces.
