Chapter 87 Technology Recovery
After the successful breakout of the Isles of Scilly, the Meng army gained the initiative.
The raid on Zaragoza was also the first shot in the counterattack.
After the expeditionary force took over the Eagle Army stationed in Morocco and recovered the funds there, the Moe Army used the Paradox Engine to launch raids on the Epsilon base on the Atlantic coast of Africa. People like Zi Yu and Moe Finger often went there to develop Africa's resources.
According to the records in Zi Yu's account book, in just one week, she led her troops to rob millions of dollars worth of ore and oil. In addition, a large number of nuclear power plants and biochemical reaction rooms were sent to the pocket space by Zi Yu using a trans-time and space crane.
In addition to recovering funds and important buildings, the expeditionary force also rescued a number of mind-controlled cute soldiers through this raid, which greatly enhanced the strength of the expeditionary force.
The Epsilon troops stationed here and the remaining Su troops were completely helpless against this weapon that overturned the rules of the battlefield, and could only flee in panic.
The last message sent by many bases before being captured by the Meng Army was that a large force of the Meng Army suddenly appeared inside the base, and there were also reports that a type of soldier capable of single-body teleportation had also joined the battle.
Therefore, the garrisoned Epsilon army had almost no ability to fight back against the aggressive Meng army.
To be honest, Yuri suffered from insomnia every day after receiving the news of the Paradox Engine's breakout and these battle reports. He understood that the Moe Army had already begun to counterattack.
But what good would it do to know that? The initiative was now in the hands of the Meng army. With that aerial battleship, the territory that Epsilon had spent several months consolidating was destroyed in just a few days.
Meanwhile, in Epsilon's combat command center, the place that was supposed to be discussing the battle situation was in complete silence, and everyone present was looking at Samuel with horror.
Samuel's mood at this moment could be said to be even worse than the time when she lost the thermos. She also had several combat reports given by Istaru in her hands.
Although the Epsilon army suffered heavy losses in the face of the Paradox Expedition, what made Samuel angry was the two pieces of bad news brought by Istaru.
"I have bad news and worse news, which one do you want to hear? Sister Samuel."
"bad news."
"Your home has been stolen, and Yun Mo has been that."
"...What about the worse news?"
"I was the one who stole the house, and Libra has already made it with Yunmo. You are the last one now. And the fruit tastes really delicious."
"Istaru... let's go to the practice room and have a fight..."
Samuel, with a frown on his face, said very calmly that if they ignored the spiritual energy that was about to explode around her, everyone would think that she didn't take it seriously.
Just as Samuel was about to fight with Istaru, Yuri suddenly walked in.
"Alright Pagan, let's deal with personal grudges after the mission is over. Boss La just sent us an urgent message for help."
Upon hearing this, Samuel retracted the mental power he had emitted and only spoke in the mental communication.
"I'll settle the score with you later!"
When Istaru heard this, he said playfully.
"Hey!"
After Samuel received the briefing, he understood what had happened.
After the Meng army easily destroyed the Epsilon army along the coast of North Africa using hyperspace teleportation, they began to advance deeper into the country.
Many times when Yuri and Rashidi learned that one base had been captured, more bases might have already been captured.
According to information provided by the Moe Army intelligence officers, the Moe Army's next target is to advance towards the Tudela River Valley, which is an important technology research and development base of Epsilon and is jointly guarded by the Scorpion Cell, Arkwell and a group of mind-controlled Moe Army.
"So my mission is to evacuate the prototype here?"
"Yes, there are five prototypes in total: Gila, Ops, Colossus, Utopia, and Tyrant. Aqville's prototypes will be transferred by themselves. In addition, just in case, Istar will also participate in this operation."
"I see. The evacuation point is actually a tunnel? You are really brave." Samuel complained while looking at the tunnel marked on the map.
"Even if we are crushed by a collapsed tunnel, it's better than falling into the hands of the cute army. If we lose these things, we can just go back to the moon and develop them for another two years. If the cute army gets them, we're doomed."
"Have you arranged a retreat plan?"
“Yes, there are, but plans cannot keep up with changes. You have to be prepared to adapt to changes.”
"understood."
———Battle control system connected———
[Military Operations: Survival Instinct]
At this time, Rashidi had prepared all the prototypes, and Aqwell and the Scorpion Organization's escort troops were also ready.
At this moment, with a voice saying "This will be the moment of your fall", the combat control system was cut off.
By the time Samuel reconnected, the Scorpion Cell's base in the northeast had been surrounded by the Moe Army Commandos, who quickly eliminated the defenders of the base and began painting the buildings.
In addition, in the southwest part of the map, the original civilian area has been built into a cute army base with complete facilities.
In addition, between the main base and the research base, and between the main base and the evacuation point, the Meng army arranged a large number of troops to cooperate with the occupied technological defense buildings to establish blocking positions.
"They've taken over the Pandora Hub."
"Don't worry about the heretics. Boss La put a "fake" sign on the gate before he evacuated. Now the Meng army has no intention of searching inside."
"Our current mission is to open an evacuation route between our military base and the research base, right?"
"That's right. According to the information provided by the telepathic sensor, the Meng army has arranged a group of Chrono Air Force soldiers and Hades tanks to attack here. At the same time, the greening rate here increased by 74% an hour ago, so every tree cannot be trusted."
"I see. Can I use the human wave tactic this time?"
"Yes, Boss La has two cloning vats in the base near the evacuation point, and Aqwell has given you control of the other two cloning vats there. With the help of Istaru, there will be no limit on the number of wild orcs this time."
"understood."
At this time, Samuel first arranged a group of engineers to enter the Stinger and Stryker to do maintenance work. Then the two barracks mass-produced 10,000 archers and wild orcs respectively, and the chariot factory also began to mass-produce invasion flying saucers.
While Samuel was arranging infantry and air forces to defend the base, Istaru, who was full of anger, rushed directly into the forward base of the Meng army in the southwest and began to fight.
"Since you want to see God, I will satisfy you."
After Istaru finished speaking, he began to use his abilities to eliminate the cute army here and turned those unlucky guys who escaped the disaster into his subordinates.
"Reporting to the headquarters, this is the forward base, we were attacked by that witch, she destroyed our troops in an instant, requesting support, requesting support..."
"Found you, little mouse."
When the cute army commander came to his senses, he saw Istaru looking at him with a smile on his face, while his subordinates, guards and his adjutants were either eliminated or controlled.
"Hello, hello, forward base? Copy please?"
At this time in the Paradox Command Center, the liaison officer of the Meng Army was constantly calling, but the other side just said "You will be happy to be loyal to me" and then hung up the communication.
After hanging up the communication, Istaru specially took control of the barracks and trained a group of engineers to paint the buildings here and began to arrange infantry and defense buildings to properly entertain the Light Prism Soldiers and the Chrono Air Force Legion Soldiers of the Meng Army.
The Meng army, realizing the problem, immediately deployed a large number of Hades tanks to try to eliminate the serious threat posed by Istaru.
However, after studying the equipment of the Hades tanks and the Chrononaut Legion, Istaru put a special kinetic barrier on herself, which made it impossible for the Chrononaut weapons to wipe her out.
At this time, Samuel commanded hundreds of orcs and archers to easily break through the Meng army positions at the connection between the two bases, and the five prototypes were successfully transferred to the main base.
The next step is to have all the prototypes move towards the evacuation point under the escort of the main force and Istaru.
"Pagan, our people have witnessed several earth-drilling vehicles. It looks like Boss La has started recycling scrap."
"By the way, what is the prototype developed by the scientists at Arkville?"
"Would you like to see if there's anything wrong in your base?"
"Let me see...wait, why are there two more cars? Could they be???"
"Yes, this is their research and development result, the mobile cloning tank. It will also be convenient for us to establish a front-line base in the future."
"I see. So what is Istaru going to do now?"
"You'll know once our prototype has successfully retreated."
While the two were talking, Istar first used the mind blast to tear a hole in the cute army's position, and then a large number of wild orcs with healing agents, accompanied by archers, began to massacre the cute army.
"This farce must end."
After hearing this, Samuel discovered that Istaru appeared next to the mental beacon. After Istaru provided energy to the beacon, the beacon immediately emitted a red light and controlled all the attacking Moe Army troops.
"Well done, Istaru. This should calm the Moe Army down for a while."
Looking at Istaru who had returned, Samuel said happily.
"You are right, Sister Samuel. According to my prediction, this kind of surprise attack by the Meng army will probably not last long and will probably stop."
"Then should we..." Samuel said and shook his fist.
When Yuri saw this, he just said don't take it too far and left. After all, Samuel was really angry and it was time to vent.
Although the Meng army immediately ordered Zi Yu to command a force to quickly capture the place after discovering that the attacking force against the Tudra River Valley was completely wiped out.
But before that, Samuel had already moved several prototypes through nearby tunnels to farther underground bunkers.
When Ziyu occupied this place, the tunnel was also destroyed by the explosives arranged by Rashidi in advance. Therefore, even if the Meng army understood that those special vehicles were important, they had no ability to chase them and destroy them.
This victory also restored Yuri's confidence. He ordered the large forces of each camp to abandon those unimportant strongholds, and a small number of troops cooperated with the puppet troops there to delay the Meng army.
This also preserved a lot of strength for Epsilon, and the large army began to reorganize. They began to move to the strategic location in the south and rebuilt the defense line there to block the Meng army.
However, when Epsilon and the Moe Army entered a stalemate, the Su Army and the Eagle Army had already begun their attack.
Under the double attack of Mengsu, the power of PsiCorps in North America suffered a serious blow, which forced Yuri to shift his attention here and arrange a group of commanders to lead elite troops to consolidate the stronghold in North America.
