Chapter 169 Purple Painting
While Samuel was commanding the defense forces in Pensacola Mountain to fight against the main force of the Paradox Expedition, Rahn and Vidis were also commanding the troops to protect an important scientific research base.
"Vidis Pagan, I'm already in position."
"Great, Adjutant, help me connect to the combat terminal."
"Yes!!!"
After the combat control system was connected, Vidis also took a look at the layout of the research base.
This base is a super large complex base, with several pagans responsible for its defense, and Ovis is the commander-in-chief.
Due to the importance of this place, there is a guard post every five steps and a sentry post every ten steps. There are even quite a few Antares turrets and mind control towers, not to mention those basic Gatling guns and Hell Thermal Towers.
When he saw the blocking position at the front, the adjutant looked at the Antares turrets and technological concrete bunkers in the base and expressed satisfaction. The only flaw was - who the hell put so many oil drums in the base?
As a result, just as the adjutant finished complaining, the telepathic sensor detected that the cute army's troops had begun to attack.
"Weapon ready"
“Commencing assault! Begin the attack!”
At this time, a group of Grizzly tanks rushed over directly. After the Antares turret fired a few shots, the Grizzlies' salvos directly detonated the oil barrels, and the explosion directly destroyed the first interception line.
At the same time, the airborne troops of the Meng army and the subsequent Paladins and Light Prism MK2 arrived at the battlefield one after another and started a fierce firefight with the EP defenders on the first line of defense.
However, looking at the number of cute soldiers, Ovis who was stationed here also understood that the first line of defense could no longer be held. Although the second line of defense had no oil drums and was located on high ground, not only was the manpower there limited, but the train station on the west side of the line of defense would also be the direction of attack by the cute soldiers, so it was only a matter of time before it fell.
Therefore, he handed over the control of the base located in the port area and the control of the five Pandora hubs loaded with mental and genetic components to Vidis, but the control of the base had to wait for Rahn's arrival.
"Pagan, I'm in position."
At this time, Rahn also took a train to the train station on the northwest side of the scientific research base. Although the defense here was tight and there were no oil drums, the problem was that the outpost in front of it was full of oil drums.
Just as Rane got out of the car, the roar of an airplane engine suddenly came.
At this time, Vidis also saw the source, which was the Meng Army's Barracuda bombers and Harrier fighters. They began to bomb the railway station and the first line of defense.
"It seems that the number of Lionheart Kings is limited, and they have to be used in the main force." Vidis thought to himself at this time.
However, the most urgent task was to get Larn to the port area. Fortunately, Ovis also understood the principle of speed, so he provided Larn with a taxi - an Ops customized tank.
When Ran was driving to the port area, the telepathic sensor showed that the large force of the Meng army had rushed to the battlefield from the first line of defense and the train station. At the same time, they also detected the fluctuations of hyperspace transmission.
"Ovis, you have to be prepared for the second line of defense to fall."
"I understand." At this time, Ovis also began to order the MCVs of the second line of defense to evacuate, and at the same time sold the Pandora hub, synthesis tanks and other technological buildings in the base, resolutely not giving the cute army any chance to use them.
At the same time, the heavy industry, barracks and synthesis cylinders on the front line are also mass-producing troops at a steady pace, and they will delay as long as possible.
A few minutes later, following the adjutant's reminder, the second wave of attacking forces of the Meng army arrived at the battlefield. They cooperated with the vanguard troops to quickly wipe out the EP defenders of the first line of defense and the railway station, and then attacked the second line of defense from two directions.
As for Larn, he took an Ops customized taxi and passed through several bases controlled by multiple pagans before arriving at the southernmost port area.
After the taxi successfully reunited with the EP infantry, control of the port base was transferred to Vidis.
She also took a look at her base. The facilities were very complete, with production buildings such as barracks, heavy industry, and technological buildings such as synthesis tanks.
The most important thing is that Ovis also gave Vidis the right to use two cloning cylinders, and the subsequent reinforcements will also bring a mobile cloning cylinder to reinforce.
After gaining control of the base, Vidis also saw the specific locations of the five Pandora hubs. Except for the ones within her own base, the remaining ones were in the east, west and south directions of her base, which made it easier for her to defend.
Then she began to operate on the combat terminal, and began to mass-produce barracks in the base, heavy-industry these production buildings and mines to ensure funds and production. As for the locations where the cute army might launch a super-time and space raid, a number of Hell Thermal Energy Towers were also planted.
As for the army production, it is simple. Except for some psychic elites, all the production of infantry will be given to the Orcs. As for vehicles, except for producing some oxidizers, the rest will be left to the laser UFOs.
"Pagans, the base that Ovis is in charge of has a violent activator and a mind control device. If we can stop the attack of the Moe Army, Ovis Pagans will provide us with support."
"I understand, Adjutant."
At this time, Vidis also began to arrange troops for defense. Among them, the Lord of the Mind, the Mind Elite and the Colossus in the base went to the western highlands to deploy defenses. The EP outpost on the north side of the highlands would definitely not be able to stop the attack of the cute army.
But if the Meng army wants to go deeper, there is only one narrow road to take, or they can choose to take a detour and pass through the large base that Ovis himself is in charge of.
Moreover, Ovis also arranged illusion cores, Yuri statues and Antares turrets on both sides of the high ground, which would also be beneficial for their subsequent defense against the Meng army.
As for the eastern defense line, considering the base in the north that was full of oil drums, Vidis' idea was very simple - the front end of the defense line must be within Ovis' base. If he couldn't stop it, then this small base in the north certainly wouldn't be able to stop it.
Thinking of this, she asked the archers, nightmare walkers, and wild orcs in her base to go to the Ovis base to deploy defenses. At the same time, a laser UFO team would also rush there to reinforce.
At this time, Epsilon reinforcements also began to rush to the battlefield from the port area. The first was a golden fleet led by the complete Irkalla Aerial Fortress. Vidis asked them to assist the eastern defense line.
Next came an amphibious force, with several Shenzhou transport boats protected by Psychic Elites, Oxidizers, Plunderers and Magnetic Control Tanks, which arrived here. The transport boats also carried a mobile cloning tank protected by the Colossus, the Lord of the Mind.
With the reinforcements, Vidis sent these armored forces to the western highlands, while the mobile cloning cylinders, predators, and magnetic control tanks went to the eastern defense line. At the same time, he also sent the Shenzhou transport boats to the crushing and recycling station in exchange for funds.
While Vidis was setting up defenses at the blocking point, the battle situation on Ovis's side was not optimistic. Although with the help of the violent activator, Ovis's troops still disappeared like snowflakes in the face of the attack of the cute army. The mind control device was also destroyed, and the western part of the base was basically destroyed by the cute army.
However, just as the Meng army in the east was preparing to advance triumphantly, Vidis's golden fleet dealt them a heavy blow.
Under the attack of arc kinetic cannons and mental energy cannons, the armored forces of the Meng army attacking from the east suffered heavy losses. Even if they could successfully break through to the eastern pass, the Irkala floating in the sky and the wild orcs filling the mountains and seas would tell them that this road was blocked.
After the offensive momentum of the Meng army on the eastern front was blocked, the offensive on the western front was not optimistic. With the help of the Oxidizer Colossus, the western highlands became a no-fly zone that even the Thor gunboats could not pass through.
In the absence of air support, the Meng army had to face the attacks of Nightmare Walkers, Plague Catapults and Magnetic Tanks from high above during the attack. Moreover, when they arrived at the location of the illusion core, the Mind Lords and Mind Elites hiding in it were enough to give them a big surprise.
The armored forces of the Meng Army on the Western Front had to deal with the attacks from the high ground while fighting against their mind-controlled comrades, so they had to withdraw from the battlefield.
"Great, heretic. We have successfully contained the offensive momentum of the Moe Army. However, the Moe Army will definitely not give up. They will definitely send MCVs to fight a positional battle with us."
"It doesn't matter. It's hard to make a quick attack in a positional battle. We just need to defend against the super-time and space teleportation of the Meng army. It will also be convenient for us to delay time. By the way, how long is it before the data transfer?"
"About fifteen minutes."
“Got it. Let them speed up.”
Seeing that there were enough wild orcs, Vidis began to mass-produce archers and nightmare walkers to supplement the base's defense. As for the heavy industry? Continue to hold back the laser UFO.
As for the other pagans, after seeing Vidis's operations, they followed suit. Those with MCVs built a bunker defense line composed of Hell Thermal Towers and Gatling Guns, or arranged tank bunkers for Vidis's Colossi, Oxidizers and other armored units.
If there is no MCV, then just mass-produce whatever you have. Even if there is only one barracks, you can just mass-produce archers.
While Epsilon was preparing its defense line, the Moe Army was not idle either. After seeing that their armored forces had suffered heavy losses, they also called for MCV and hyperspace teleportation support from the Paradox Engine.
Soon, the Meng army arranged three waves of Chronospace Commandos on the western highland defense line of EP, but their luck was not very good. They were either right in front of those clustered defense towers, or the main force was right next to them;
Or they happened to come face to face with the psychic elites in the core of the illusion; the most unlucky ones were the troops responsible for the rage activators, as there were colossi, pillagers and archers waiting for their arrival around them.
After these three commandos were wiped out, the Meng army also teleported an MCV to the ruins of the former Epsilon outpost in the northern part of the Western Highlands. Unfortunately, there happened to be a laser UFO team on the edge of the highlands at the time, and they demolished the MCV with three rounds of salvos.
After the operation to expand and build the forward base failed, the Meng army also tried to use the Barracuda to directly raid Vidis's MCV. The airborne troops and the Hound Squadron launched a sneak attack on the rear base where the Pandora hub was located.
But unfortunately, their actions could not be hidden from the eyes of the telepathic device, so when the barracudas bypassed the Colossus defense line and rushed to the port base of Vidis, the archer brigade in the base had been waiting for them for a long time.
The airborne troops' attack was not much better. Due to the effect of the telepathy, the landing zone of the Meng army was completely exposed to the Epsilon.
Therefore, those transport planes were either shot down by massive archers and Gatling guns, or were unable to land because the landing zone was full of orcs and nightmare walkers; some landed, but the psychic elites on the ground had been waiting for them for a long time.
After seeing the failure of this sneak attack, the two angry and humiliated commanders of the Meng army decided to take a two-pronged approach.
While they were sending the Chrono Commandos and airborne troops to raid Epsilon's rear, the army's armored cluster would also launch raids on the east and west defense lines under the cover of the Barracuda and Thor gunboats.
To ensure everything was safe, they even called for assistance from the Chrono Legionnaires in the Paradox Engine.
However, when he launched the attack, the opponent Vidis said, when it comes to conspiracy and tricks, you are still very green.
The European armored forces attacking on the eastern front would basically be turned into scrap metal by a volley of laser UFOs patrolling. Even if they rushed to the pass, the orcs, archers, poisonous lizard warships in the sky, and the Irkala Sky Fortress would tell them that this road was blocked.
When the cute army on the western front is held up by other pagan whippers, pillagers, recruits and basic teams composed of archers, the mental elites will conduct mind control from a high position, and then you can take a chair and take a good look at the infighting among the cute army.
What? You mean those cute army commandos who tried to sneak in and launch a sneak attack? Sorry, our recycling plant is running at full capacity, the noise is too loud, I can't hear clearly.
"I never thought that I could use an unexpected gain. The Meng army is really rich."
Vidis said as he looked at the pile of Trans-Dimensional Combat Suit in his warehouse, just as the Trans-Dimensional Corps soldiers were teleported to Vidis and other pagan MCVs, Pandora Hub and other important buildings.
Psychic Elite, Brain Car, Laser UFO: HELLO
Soon, these mind-controlled soldiers of the Trans-Time Force were basically stripped of their weapons. These soldiers would be transported through trans-time and space to the genetic modification center at the giant tower headquarters for genetic modification, and become nightmare special forces like their mind-controlled colleagues.
At this time, time was passing by every second. With the last important scientific research data being transferred to the giant tower headquarters, Vidis's defense operation was successfully completed.
"Great, Pagan, this operation has been successfully concluded. We can now prepare to evacuate and establish a defense line outside the giant tower."
However, an accident happened at this time. On the high ground of the eastern defense line, a group of heavy tanks of the Meng army suddenly appeared on the battlefield. These heavy tanks with triple rail guns also attracted Vidis's attention.
"Is this??? A heavy tank of the Meng army?"
"It seems so. Wait, those pagans, it looks like they want to run away. Don't let them run away." At this time, the adjutant also noticed that these heavy tanks began to flee in all directions.
"Don't worry, they can't get away."
Seeing that these slaughter tanks wanted to escape, Vidis also chased these slaughter tanks with a large number of laser UFOs. At the same time, the Berserkers, Irkala, and the Poison Lizard warships also set up blockades everywhere to specifically prevent the Mengjun army's support troops and the escaped slaughter tanks.
Although the Moe Army tried their best to remedy the situation after discovering the abnormality, they suffered heavy losses and were unable to break through the blockade set up by Epsilon. They could only watch as these massacre tanks were turned into scrap metal by the Arc Kinetic Cannons and turned into discus by the Wild Orcs.
Perhaps the only good news for the cute army is that the massacre tanks use unmanned driving technology, so the Epsilon side cannot use mind control to crack these vehicles.
After all the massacre tanks were destroyed, Vidis and Ovis began to arrange for the troops to gradually evacuate from here through ports and transport planes. At the same time, Rahn drove a drilling vehicle to Pensacola Mountain to pick up Libra and Libra.
On the retreating transport ship, Vidis also received the communication from Samuel.
"Well done, Vidis. Thanks to your wisdom, we successfully recovered our technology and delayed the offensive of the Meng army, which also bought time for our subsequent defense.
Return with your information. The defense line we will build next will make the Meng army pay a heavy price for every attack."
After reading it, Vidis just smiled, and then she began to prepare her next plan of letting go.
