Chapter 87: Fighting in the air, the great sword shows its power
Flying vehicles shuttled over the dunes;
Countless mechanical spiders crawled densely into a dozen underground tunnels;
Explosions continued to be heard from all over the desert;
Human warriors use various means to pour military products into underground channels that are one hundred to two hundred meters deep. The control terminals in the hands of technicians constantly connect to new drone swarms.
The annihilation battlefield is divided into three levels.
The outer troops are responsible for blowing up any new passages that may appear underground, while the main firepower points in the center are waiting to eliminate the group of blade beasts rushing out from underground. More than a dozen entrances and exits to the passages are the most dangerous combat areas, which are the main battlefields for drones.
Taoist Priest Wang sat comfortably in the command vehicle, carefully observing the battlefield and also closely observing the generals of the human side.
These are unprecedented experiences.
Dongfang Zhenghong's eyes were calm and deep, without any emotional fluctuations, and he kept issuing accurate combat orders.
Wu Man was sitting in a wheelchair and was pushed by Zhou Zhengde to Dongfang Zhenghong's side.
Dongfang Zhenghong asked: "Are you ready?"
"Yeah," Wu Man nodded slightly.
"Turn on the amplifier, adjust the band, and determine the underground propagation range."
"The amplifier is functioning properly."
"The underground path has been confirmed."
Dongfang Zhenghong looked at Wu Man, his voice became gentler, and said: "Try to let them out."
Taoist Priest Wang has checked his backpack and arranged as many miniature high-explosive mines as possible on his armed vest.
This thing has a pretty good killing effect when it's stuffed into a blade beast's mouth.
Wu Man put on the helmet handed to him by a technician, took a few deep breaths, and slowly closed his eyes. The handsome face of the young boy now had a more holy look.
He interlaced his fingers as if in prayer, and hummed softly from the tip of his nose.
Wang Jixuan immediately felt the fluctuations of spiritual power emanating from Wu Man.
After a few minutes, there was constant shouting all around.
"The underground swarm begins to move!"
"The marked swarms 13 to 16 and 23 to 28 are moving! They are one-sixth of the total number of blade beasts, and they are rushing up along the path we reserved!"
Dozens of images of moving blade beasts appeared on the projection screen. They were rolling or crawling in a stable passage with a diameter of three or four meters.
A large amount of smoke and flames appeared in the desert outside the command vehicle, the pre-buried mines were triggered, and the human army began to cover the fire.
The ground trembled slightly, and gravel collapse occurred on many sand dunes.
The explosion sounded after a while, and the shock wave of the explosion turned into waves of wind.
A few minutes later, a total of seven or eight thousand blade beasts rushed out of the ground one after another and were hit head-on by the human firepower network that had been waiting for a long time!
These small groups of blade beasts that rushed out one after another were simply a great help to the warriors in brushing up their records.
Dongfang Zhenghong remained calm, staring at the sand table in front of him without even looking at the light and shadow outside.
About ten minutes later.
A report came from the command vehicle: "The first wave of blade beasts has been annihilated."
"All units reinforce their firepower," Dongfang Zhenghong ordered again, then turned to look at Wu Man.
Wu Man nodded: "I can pass on the message again, probably three times, and then I will fall into a coma."
"Rest for a quarter of an hour first," Dongfang Zhenghong ordered while picking up the intercom, "and get ready for a quarter of an hour."
"Wu Man?"
"gentlemen!"
Wu Man immediately turned his head, and the electric wheelchair automatically turned half a circle and looked at Wang Jixuan in the corner behind.
Taoist Wang waved his hand and Wu Man immediately came closer.
"What's wrong, sir?" Wu Man asked nervously.
Wang Jixuan thought about it, asked the technician girl next to him for a piece of white paper, and wrote a series of syllables on the white paper.
This is a calming mantra. Ordinary people can fall asleep peacefully and relieve stress by reciting it. Psychic psychics like Wu Man (classified as telekinetic psychics) can quickly relieve their fatigue and restore their mental strength by reciting this mantra.
"Burn after reading."
Wang Jixuan warned:
"Unique technology, don't let anyone else know."
Wu Man immediately looked around, and the soldiers around him turned around at the same time, and only Zhou Zhengde came over to take a few glances.
Soon, Wu Man took a lighter and burned the paper, closed his eyes, and moved his lips. When he opened his eyes again, there was some light in his eyes, and faint fluctuations surrounded his body. The mottled aura in his body was slightly consumed.
Wisps of spiritual energy surrounded him, making him even more excited.
Wu Man's slight excitement did not last long, and he immediately realized something.
This is a completely new route for psychic power development.
The young man looked at the handsome face in front of him, his eyes were touched, and he whispered: "Thank you, sir, I will protect this secret with my life."
"No need to be so serious, here's a little trick... When you use this ability for the second time, you can imagine yourself as one of them."
Wang Jixuan suggested:
"You can try not to issue orders, but... send out a call for help."
"Help?" Wu's eyes were filled with confusion.
Wang Jixuan crossed his arms and said with a smile, "Is it difficult to understand? These basic blade beasts cannot tell where the orders they received came from. If you change the order you issued to a distress call, it will be like a general-level blade beast calling for help. The basic blade beasts should be more proactive in coming out to die."
"Okay," Wu Man responded, "I understand."
After a moment, Wu Man made a prayer gesture again and the signal light on his helmet flashed rapidly.
"Save... me..."
The desert was quiet for a few minutes.
Then, several technicians appeared in the command vehicle and shouted:
"12, 34, 56, 36, 15... so many are rushing towards the surface!"
"All six passages are filled with blade beasts! All thirty-five non-core beast groups are moving!"
"The blade beasts are rioting!"
"Energy fluctuations appear in the cavity beneath where the young kingworm is! It has awakened!"
In the desert outside the command vehicle, flames and shock waves from various explosions flashed densely!
Wang Jixuan thought carefully, picked up a talisman with his left hand, folded it, and walked behind the young man.
He had barely stood still for a dozen seconds.
"Gu-gu-gu-gu-gu"
A familiar spiritual call.
There was a hint of weakness in the call, obviously because the super-long-range attack launched by the young kingworm on Lingtong had consumed a lot of energy.
Wu Man's face suddenly turned pale and he felt a tingling sensation on his forehead.
A big hand pressed on Wu Man's shoulder, and a cool breath flowed into his forehead. Wu Man felt warm all over, and the blurry and torn picture in front of his eyes was instantly shattered.
Technician quick report!
"Part of the herd has begun to retreat underground!"
"Two-thirds of the herd have turned around and retreated! Should we give chase?"
Dongfang Zhenghong shouted: "Firepower pours down!"
With the same lethality, the cost of underground firepower is much higher than that of surface firepower. Wu Man said: "I can do it again."
He immediately closed his eyes, and a sound penetrated into his ears. Wu Man opened and closed his lips continuously following the syllables, and a light blue light appeared around him.
"Gu-gu-gu-gu-gu"
The technician next to him shouted: "The blade beasts are pouring out again!"
"Fire coverage!"
Two minutes later, the young kingworm issued another general order, and part of the blade beast group retreated again.
Taoist Wang narrowed his eyes.
He also became ruthless, and pointed his sword at Wu Man's neck, directly using the unpopular technique "Assisting the Gods" in the cultivation world.
This method was originally used for healing and rescuing wounds. It was specifically designed to stimulate the potential of injured souls and spirits, so that the spirit can recover in time after being injured.
The current situation is just right.
Wu Man was full of energy, even a little excited. He issued orders again, and the intensity of his mental fluctuations increased by 30 to 40 percent compared to before!
Cuckooing sounds continued to be heard from both sides, and the group of blade beasts were like headless flies, circling back and forth in the underground passages and the surface.
The human army has never seen such a scene!
Soldiers in the D5 war zone, when have you ever fought such an easy battle!
Even Dongfang Zhenghong has begun to consider saving firepower costs. After all, if a little is saved here, more support can be provided to the front line later, killing more blade beasts and regaining more lost territory.
After fighting in the air for four or five rounds, Master Wang became really angry.
He directly took out a handkerchief from his jacket pocket, opened it, and inside was a set of silver needles that he had made overnight.
If Wu Man couldn't hold on any longer, he would directly use silver needles to stimulate Wu Man back and open a temporary channel for Wu Man to "nourish the spirit with Qi"!
With the mottled aura in Wu Man's body and his assistance, he can consume the young kingworm to death!
Today he would let the young kingworm see the versatility of the sect’s greatest genius in a thousand years!
"Uh," Zhou Zhengde looked at the silver needle in Taoist Wang's hand and whispered, "The energy index of the baby kingworm is constantly decreasing. Now there are only the core group of beasts around it underground... How about we take a safe hand?"
Taoist Wang then put away the silver needle and patted Wu Man on the shoulder.
"Well done."
Wu Man smiled a little: "Well, thank you sir."
Zhou Zhengde and Dongfang Zhenghong both breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Jixuan walked back to the corner and sat down calmly. Under Wu Man’s misleading, the group of blade beasts continued to rush towards the surface, and human firepower easily harvested them.
Dongfang Zhenghong looked at Wang Jixuan and whispered, "Zhengde, I'm beginning to understand how you feel."
"what?"
"Alien treasure," the commander shook his head, then focused on the sand table in front of him, accurately deploying every bit of firepower.
After more than half an hour of 'fierce fighting'.
Eighty percent of the blade beasts rushed to the surface, leaving a layer of black broken limbs and debris in the desert.
The ferocious blade beast became the lamb in the slaughterhouse this morning.
……
Nourishing.
Wang Jixuan was resting with his eyes closed when he heard Ling Tong's voice in his headphones.
"My unit is ready to attack, access the commando channel."
The voices of Red Snake and Deep Sea were heard at the same time.
Three semi-human mechas left the surface combat mechas and entered a special underground mecha more than three meters high.
First, a large number of drones cleared the way;
Then, one by one, the soldiers, wearing full-coverage power armor that could adapt to the Blade Beast Passage and carrying various individual high-powered weapons, entered the Blade Beast Passage.
Following them came the three half-human mechas: Lingtong, Chishe and Deep Sea.
Red Snake exclaimed: "This youth version of the beast speaker is so useful. I can't even imagine how powerful the real beast speaker is, and... why don't they use this ability to help us?"
"The ability of the beast speaker will be regarded as the rebellion of the king-level blade beast," Shenhai said quickly, "which will trigger the awakening of the main beast group. A report I saw before said that Wu Man's ability was only regarded as that of a general-level blade beast."
"Okay," Chishe said softly, "Tongtong, why are you carrying a cold weapon?"
Ling Tong said: "New equipment, still testing."
"Will this thing be useful?" Red Snake said with some disdain, "I trust the destruction cannon on my mechanical arm more!"
"Narrow terrain should work," Lingtong answered with some uncertainty.
Three half-human mechas were chatting there, and more than a dozen logistics members from three teams were listening there obediently.
There was an explosion in the headphones.
Taoist Wang raised his eyebrows slightly; he felt the violent fluctuation of spiritual energy.
It can be seen on the large screen of the command vehicle that the number of commandos is decreasing rapidly, with the data updated every ten seconds, and the number will decrease by ten to twenty people.
The final battle against the young kingworms has begun!
Fighting underground, in the path opened up by the blade beasts, the humans did not have the slightest advantage.
Dongfang Zhenghong has now stopped issuing orders, and the command of the commando team is now the half-human mecha Deep Sea.
Wang Jixuan, on the other hand, was able to hear first-hand information. Chishe's voice was a bit exaggerated, Lingtong was calm and composed from beginning to end, and Shenhai was very steady.
They began to act as the tip of the spearhead team, advancing quickly forward and engaging in combat with small groups of mid-level blade beasts.
Chishe suddenly cursed: "What the hell! What kind of new weapon is that?"
Ling Tong said coolly: "Follow me and provide cover fire."
"Cover her with fire!"
"Why didn't you notify me when you updated the equipment!" Chishe gritted his teeth and shouted, "I also want this kind of greatsword that can release shock waves! Uh, psionic energy, crystal cores! Crystal core weapons! I want them too! Lingtong, can you let me use it for a while? I will definitely return it to you after using it! Wow! I want it too! Husband! Think of a way!"
Shen Hai also said: "Incredible, cross-fire cover, let her rush into the herd!"
Hearing this, Master Wang smiled faintly.
He seemed to be able to see Lingtong dancing with a sword among the beasts.
Yes, mecha.
You can make an enlarged version of the greatsword that can carry more crystal cores and be suitable for mechas.
I'll make her two mecha versions later!
Being a logistics specialist is pretty good. Watching my own combat girl kill the enemy with the weapons I made gives me a sense of accomplishment.
However, Master Wang couldn't laugh anymore after laughing for a while.
Thanks to Ling Tong's extraordinary performance, the underground advancement went smoothly, but some minor problems still arose afterwards.
"The young kingworm has activated a mental interference field! Don't get close. The anti-interference patches we use are ineffective against this level of mental interference!"
Shen Hai's voice immediately appeared in the command vehicle:
"Commander, we need psykers, psykers who can resist mental interference.
“These accompanying psychics can’t hold on.
"We are only 300 meters away from the cavity where the young kingworms are. We need to send tactical nuclear bombs over there, but they have reinforced the rock formation ahead and we can't blast it open with firepower. There are also some blade beasts blocking the way ahead, so the unmanned spiders can't get through."
Dongfang Zhenghong thought for a moment and said, "Captain Zheng, is that okay? He is the strongest psychic on our side. The battle on the front line is very intense, and we cannot mobilize other psychics in the war zone for the time being."
Shen Hai said: "Let him try. If it doesn't work, we can only force our way in, or open a passage from another direction and try to complete the construction within one day."
"Will the young kingworm recover?" Dongfang Zhenghong asked worriedly.
"cough……"
Just as Taoist Wang was about to speak, Zhou Zhengde rushed over and covered his mouth with his hands.
Dongfang Zhenghong turned his head and looked over. Zhou Zhengde looked at him with a smile.
"We have an agreement, uncle, you must not let him do such a dangerous job!"
