Chapter 165: The Raid on Cape Darien

While Moezhi and other commanders were making a "feint attack" with the remnants of their forces, including the Final Thunder gunboat, the Southern Crusaders led by Ziyu and Alexandra and the Boomerang Corps commanded by Kusaka Yosuke were also approaching Cape Darien.

In the previous battle plan, it was taken into consideration that Epsilon had also arranged several Dybbuk nests in this area, and these Dybbuk interceptors would also pose a certain threat to the Paradox Engine.

In order to ensure the safety of the Paradox Engine, the command center also planned to let the vanguard led by Alexandra and Ziyu to dismantle those evil spirit nests, and then the Paradox Engine would enter the scene with the Boomerang Legion.

[Military Operation: Blue Light]

At a ferry crossing on the east side of Cape Darien, due to the withdrawal of Epsilon, the navy here only has small and medium-sized ships such as Sea Wolf, Horizon, and Piranha. The defensive positions on the beach are defended by only a small number of infantry with thermal towers and Gatling guns.

At the same time, taxi drivers also arranged a large number of oil drum racks and ammunition boxes here.

"I say, is it appropriate for us to put the oil drums and ammunition boxes here?" a recruit raised his doubts.

"Who knows? Anyway, didn't the logistics director say that this would make it easier to replenish ammunition? If there were any problems, the pagans would have asked them a long time ago."

"That's right. Are you overthinking it? The Meng army is probably still fighting in the Weddell Sea. How could they come here?"

However, the new recruit at this time looked at the fleet in the distance and said, "Are our reinforcements arriving so soon?"

However, looking at the flag on the warship, the soaring blue eagle also announced their identity to Epsilon.

"Enemy attack!!!"

Before they could sound the alarm, the Conqueror battleships and Enterprise-class aircraft carriers in the distance began to announce their arrival to the Epsilon garrison on the shore.

“Don't worry, everybody hurts. Don't worry, everybody hurts.”

“Oh, jolly good.

"Carrier based aircraft begin to engage. Carrier based aircraft begin to engage."

"There's the target go! Where's the target, go!"

Under the fire suppression of the siege ships, the naval forces successfully cleared the fleet on the shore and cleared the beachhead.

“We’re on our way.

“Let's take the scenic route.

At this time, a group of traveler transport boats quickly landed and began to deploy troops. At the same time, the adjutant also marked the three evil spirit nests in Cape Dallion and the radar spiral towers and telepathic sensors that guided them for Zi Yu.

“Commander, it will take some time for us and General Alexandra’s MCV to arrive here. Your current mission is to command the landing troops to stop Epsilon’s counterattack.

At the same time, according to the information provided by the UIU agents, since the Evil Nest's attack targets are all on the Paradox Engine, the Paradox Engine cannot get here for the time being.

However, they can still provide trans-dimensional reinforcements, airborne troops, and Lionheart bombers to support our operations."

"understood."

At this time, Zi Yu also looked at his own troops. The transport boats sent basically armored units composed of Grizzlies, Paladins, Phantoms and Prism MK2, while the infantry was just a supplement, not even in double digits.

Seeing this, Zi Yu also thought of tactics. She let the Prism MK2 use its range advantage to attack on the beach, while the other armored units carried out roaming attack, and the infantry were also pulled to the front line to attract the enemy's attention.

Perhaps to ensure endurance, the expeditionary force also used C130 to airdrop a batch of prism tanks and maintenance archons as reinforcements.

The pagan in charge of guarding Cape Darien also understood Zi Yu's intention after seeing her behavior. Since the air fleet and drilling troops stationed there were transferred to the Weddell Sea defense line, he immediately arranged for infantry and armored forces to launch a pincer attack from two directions, determined to drive Zi Yu's troops into the sea.

Just as the Colossus and the Lord of Mind were approaching Zi Yu's troops with a group of armored troops and accompanying infantry, the first thing they encountered was not Zi Yu's armored troops, but the Lionheart bombers that arrived.

"Lionheart to the rescue! Lionheart bomber to the rescue!"

“We'll deliver! We'll deliver!

After two groups of Lionhearts dropped a series of mixed bombs in two directions respectively, the defensive buildings arranged by the pagans at the landing point and part of the vanguard troops were instantly destroyed.

But even so, the pagans still gathered their remaining troops to fight an armored battle with Zi Yu's troops.

However, due to command errors, part of the pagan troops focused their attention on the infantry squads that served as bait, which gave Zi Yu an opportunity to seize the opportunity. The Paladin, Phantom and Grizzly also dealt a heavy blow to the opponent.

When the infantry squads that served as bait were wiped out, the first thing the Epsilon armored forces had to deal with was the deployed Grizzly tanks. These bunkers could withstand several shots from the Marauders without being destroyed.

These bunkers will also provide considerable damage and reduce the defense of Epsilon's armored forces. Behind them are maintenance archons to repair them. Phantoms, Prisms MK2 and Paladins will also hide behind Grizzlies and output with peace of mind.

Although the Pagans also tried to use the Mind Lord and the Mind Elite to directly control the opponent's mind, or use the Plunderer, Nightmare Walker, Dune Cavalry and other units with long range to bypass the Grizzlies' defense line.

However, Zi Yu will not sit idly by. After discovering those units that pose a great threat to the Grizzly defense line, the Prism Tanks and Paladins hiding behind the front line will name those guys one by one.

———four minutes later

After the last few Ops custom tanks and their passengers were killed by the Prism MK2 and the Paladins, this wave of raid was stopped.

After the battle, Zi Yu's face was not very good when he looked at the damage. In addition to the infantry squad that was declared wiped out, more than half of the Grizzlies and Mirage tanks were lost, and several Paladins were also destroyed. The Prism MK2 and the Maintenance Archon were not damaged because they were located behind the front line.

However, the expeditionary force also sent the second wave of reinforcements at this time. With the landing of six traveler transport boats, Zi Yu's armored forces and infantry squad were also replenished.

At this time, the second batch of pagan suppression troops were also approaching Zi Yu's defense position. The speed tricycles and predator tanks as the vanguard had rushed towards Zi Yu's troops and began to pour ammunition.

“One more for the landfill! One more for the landfill!

"Time for an ambush! Time for an ambush!"

At this time, the Mirage Tank, which had found a good position, also opened fire. The kinetic armor-piercing gun easily penetrated the armor of the tricycle and the Predator and turned them into scrap metal.

On the west side of the position, when the armored forces completed their assembly and prepared to open fire under the cover of the phantom core, the leading shadow tank suddenly noticed the infantry squads that served as bait.

“Night has fallen.”

Under the attack of the dissolving ray, the cute soldier instantly turned into a pool of green water, and then he began to target another heavily armored soldier.

However, the pagan who saw this immediately set the ceasefire mode for the Demon Shadow. At this moment, he wanted to use an electric cannon on himself as he did two minutes ago. Why did he forget to set the ceasefire mode for the Demon Shadow?

Now that Zi Yu discovered the casualties among the infantry, he decisively called for a wave of Lionheart bombing towards the location where the dissolving rays appeared.

With the fall of a series of mixed bombs, this wave of assault troops was turned into scrap metal by the air force.

After the armored forces here were defeated by King Lionheart, Zi Yu only needed to deal with the attacks along the way.

Although the heretic called on a lot of Ops custom tanks to cooperate with the Marauder and Gatling tanks to launch a sneak attack, whether it was the mediocre Ops or the thin-skinned and big-stuffed Gatling, the Marauder was obviously no match for the Phantom, Grizzly and Paladin.

Not to mention that due to command errors, the pagan armored forces were directly lined up in a long snake formation, which made it easy for Zi Yu's armored forces to block the gap.

In the advantageous terrain, Zi Yu's armored forces can use their range advantage to wait for the enemy to tire themselves out, while the pagan armored forces cannot even fire a single shot under the continuous firepower attacks.

After the failure of this counterattack, looking at the well-built Alexandra base, in order to prevent being attacked from behind, the pagans chose to shrink their defenses and regroup their troops.

After seeing that Epsilon's counterattack had failed, the Moe Army sent a group of trans-dimensional reinforcements consisting of Paladins and Prism MK2 here. At the same time, the MCV was sent to the beach by a Traveler transport boat and deployed smoothly.

The first base to be attacked was the northern base, as most of the garrison had been transferred to attack Zi Yu's troops, which had not been successful.

In addition, Alexandra also successfully built the forward base. Looking at the cute army on both sides of the base, and then looking at the few defenders in the base and the oil drum racks everywhere, the pagans decisively sold the base.

Zi Yu also looked at her numerous armored forces and decided to launch a quick attack. After building the technology center, her base began to repair Archons, Charon tanks and Abrams MK2.

After seeing Zi Yu's behavior, the pagans also planned to launch a sneak attack. A raiding force consisting of three-wheel drive vehicles and Gatling tanks rushed directly towards Zi Yu's main base, but they were blocked by the bunker defense line consisting of the Grizzly Bunker and machine gun bunkers.

After completing the production, looking at the Lionheart bomber parked in the air command department of the base, Zi Yu and Alexandra launched the final general attack.

Under the carpet bombing of King Lionheart, the blockades established by the pagans at the two mountain passes were instantly broken, and the Evil Spirit's Nest just stood there quietly and watched the show because it had aimed its guidance equipment at the Paradox Engine.

After the air strike created a vacuum zone in Epsilon's defense line, Zi Yu and Alexandra's troops also lined up in rows to pass through the two narrow valley defense lines and began a series of massacres.

As for another wider valley, an armored force composed of Abrams MK2, Charon Guard and Prism MK2 attacked the Epsilon army under the cover of Grizzlies and Paladin troops provided by Alexandra.

With the two armies advancing in tandem, the Southern Crusaders successfully cleared out the defenders along the coast of Cape Dallion and completely destroyed the three evil spirit nests.

However, the adjutant also told Ziyu good news and bad news.

The good news was that she didn't have to clean up the mess, Alexandra would be in charge of that. The bad news was that she had to assist Commander Kusaka Yosuke in commanding the Southern Cross Army to defeat the defenders on the other side of the Darien Cape Strait in one fell swoop.

Zi Yu could only complain about his hard life and go back to prepare for the next landing battle.

———Three hours later

When the pagans stationed on the other side of the strait were still trying to contact the pagans who had been captured by Alexandra, the roar of the Lionheart bomber made him understand the reason, but it was too late.

“Time to shine! Time to shine!”

“Halo to go! Release the Halo!”

“Ex--plode! Ex--plode!”

After a series of mushroom clouds of mixed bombs slowly rose up, those Lionhearted Kings who had hidden their merits and fame also flapped their wings and flew away, leaving only the surviving defenders looking at it all in confusion.

However, they will not be in a daze soon, because the Paradox Expeditionary Force's assault troops are rushing to the battlefield quickly via C-130, hyperspace teleportation and traveler transport craft.

In the face of absolute advantages in quantity and quality, the beach defenders who suffered heavy losses were quickly annihilated, and control of the beachhead positions was taken over by the Meng army.

After controlling the beachhead, the Meng army's MCVs also began to find suitable locations to deploy and build forward bases.

At this time, Zi Yu looked at these troops whose number far exceeded that of the troops in the raid on Cape Darien and understood why Kusaka Yosuke wanted to conscript men. After all, the Moe Army also brought three MCVs with them for this operation.

Moreover, Kusaka Yosuke also told Shiyu that in fact, since the Paradox Engine has successfully entered Cape Darien, the Moe Army's troop advantage and time stop can be truly demonstrated, so this surprise attack is nothing more than a fish pond bombing.

At this time, Zi Yu also understood why it was called bombing the fish pond. However, Zi Yu still raised the base's technological level to T3 as quickly as possible and began to explode Abrams MK2 and Prism MK2.

However, the main force of the expeditionary force also received a steady stream of reinforcements, in addition to the Lionheart bomber formations and trans-dimensional reinforcements that came to help from time to time.

A large number of Meng army troops arrived here in traveler transport boats and C-130s within a few minutes. The number of these troops was enough to completely fill the entire beachhead.

Besides, this is not the end yet. After the fourth batch of reinforcements arrived at the battlefield, batches of Thor formations led by super Thor gunboats also slowly rushed to the battlefield.

Under the continuous advance of the large army, the Epsilon troops also experienced the feelings of their opponents. Every time they eliminated a Moe Army soldier, more Moe Army soldiers would fill his vacancy.

Even if the cloning vats and heavy industry were running at full speed, the number of Mind Lords, Mind Control Towers and Mind Elites was still far from enough in the face of the Moe Army's endless stream of troops and targeted attacks.

After the time stop was activated, the Meng army seized the opportunity to cut off the connection between the two bases as quickly as possible, successfully broke in and "mind-controlled" the EP sub-base on the east side.

At the end of the time stop, the power system of the main base on the east side had been cut off by the Lionheart King. Under the continuous impact of the Moe Army, the main base was declared annihilated after just a few minutes, and the pagans stationed there chose to die.

After the last Antares turret was turned into scrap metal by the Hail Drone's concentrated fire, the operation was declared a successful completion.

"Well done, commanders.

Now the Paradox Expedition has successfully broken through Epsilon's outer defense line and advanced inland. At the same time, the feint attack force has also successfully broken through the interception line of the Weddell Sea.

However, since Epsilon's giant tower is about to be activated, we decided to reunite as quickly as possible and completely destroy the "giant tower". If he succeeds, the free world will be doomed. "

However, Zi Yu did not pay attention to the adjutant's post-war summary at this time. Now she just wanted to seize the time to go back and recuperate. After all, there would be many fierce battles to come.

On the combat terminal, after the adjutant typed out the mission accomplished icon, the screen ended with the Paradox Engine flying over the Purple Jade Base under the protection of a guard team led by the Super Thor gunship.

At the same time, a large number of Traveler transport boats also landed and began to deploy troops, including various armaments of the Eagle Sauce, Southern Crusaders and Boomerang Legion gathered here, and Hercules transport planes and Bull transport planes flew over the sky.
