Chapter 180 Blue Sorrow (EP2)

While the cute army gathered all its troops and engaged in a tug-of-war with Irena who was stationed on the highland defense line, another armored force composed of the PsiCorps and the headquarters guard armaments also began to launch a sneak attack on the cute army from another direction.

"Hmph, cute army, without the help of those commanders and the Paradox Engine this time, I want to see how you can stop my revenge."

"Don't get too excited, Vidis. The Paradox Engine will be here in about half an hour. We still have about 20 minutes. Don't get caught by the cute army."

"Use you to remind me, Irena, the same thing happens on your side."

During the connection, the adjutant also talked about Vidis's mission and the reason for doing so in the briefing.

“Pagan, while the Irena Pagans are engaged in a fierce battle with the rear guard of the Meng Army, our reinforcements in the southern hemisphere are about to arrive in your area.

But at this time the Allied rear was deployed very tightly, and if the reinforcements attacked by force they would suffer heavy losses.

Omen and GDI are the first line of defense. They will use production buildings to mass-produce troops to resist us.

Therefore you must destroy as many of Omen's and GDI's production buildings as possible before the Paradox Engine arrives.

As long as we can break through the defense line, we will be able to directly threaten the Paradox Engine, and the defeat of the Allies is imminent!

And the other force will be commanded by another pagan.

All for Epsilon!"

After reading the briefing, with the familiar reminder of "reinforcements have arrived", a large number of Whippers, Plunderers and Ops, with the cooperation of the airborne troops, have demolished the Meng Army bases along the way.

At this time, an armored force with the Lord of Mind, Colossus and magnetic control tanks also rushed to the battlefield. Vidis commanded them to quickly eliminate the cute army tanks that blocked the way.

At the same time, in order to break through the Meng army's defense line on the western high ground, a large number of transport planes and drill vehicles began to deploy a large number of infantry including Nightmare Walkers and Psychic Elites to assist the armored forces in the breakthrough.

However, when Vidis and another pagan troop were preparing to continue advancing deeper, the Meng army also noticed this group of uninvited guests, and they immediately called for bombing by Lionheart bombers and Fire Hawk fighters.

Since there was only a narrow road to the high ground on the west side, Vidis' armored forces had to line up in a long snake formation on this road.

Therefore, when the adjutant reminded the Meng army of the air raid, she could only watch her armored troops being stabbed to pieces by the Lionheart King and the Fire Eagle.

However, the only good news is that due to Vidis's advancing formation, the Lord of Mind and Colossus, who served as forwards and defenders, did not suffer any serious losses. The only heavy losses were caused by the basic tank troops serving as the midfield.

As for Ou Meng, even though they used Lionheart bombers and Firehawk fighters to cause certain damage to Epsilon's armored forces, these were just appetizers.

Following the adjutant's reminder, a reinforcement force consisting of Colossus, Magnetron and Mind Lord came from the direction of Vidis to reinforce, and even two Irkalla Aerial Fortresses rushed over.

At the same time, after an area was cleared on the western highlands, another pagan reinforcement force came from the northern highlands and the original canyon passage to reinforce.

Although the Meng army also airdropped a large number of troops and cooperated with super-time and space teleportation to try to wipe out the second wave of EP troops.

However, things did not go as planned. Although the Meng army had a numerical advantage, it was impossible for them to encircle and wipe out Vidis and another pagan's armored forces in a short period of time. The two sides soon fell into a stalemate.

However, this state did not last long. When Vidis's two Irkalla Aerial Fortresses arrived at the western highlands, the fate of the Meng Army was already doomed. A large number of armored troops were blown into scrap metal by the Earth Nova Launcher and the Supernova Implosion Bomb, and the infantry were either mind-controlled and eliminated, or strengthened into berserk orcs.

After this counterattack was blocked, Vidis sped up the countdown as he saw that there were only twelve minutes left.

She also ordered herself and another pagan armored unit to launch a large-scale attack on the Moe Army base on the next level under the cover of laser UFOs and poisonous lizard warships, and to destroy as much as possible.

At the same time, the two Irkalla Aerial Fortresses also began to demolish the Meng Army base on the Western Highlands after the Nightmare Walker and the Magnetic Control Tank dismantled the most threatening Hyperion Cannon.

————Eight minutes later

At this time, Vidis and another pagan troop also successfully cleared out the multi-story base of the Meng Army. A large number of production buildings and multiple MCVs were bombed into ruins. Even the Su Army MCV that the Meng Army had snatched was almost destroyed.

However, seeing that the countdown was less than ten minutes, and looking at the Mengjun's extra-temporal reinforcements that were coming in like free, Vidis and Irena decisively arranged for the troops to retreat temporarily and return after the Paradox Engine left.

On the other hand, the main force of the Meng army that launched the cross-mountain assault also received news that the highland defense line had been lost.

In order to help the rear guard troops, the Paradox Engine and some Super Thunder gunboats immediately turned around to reinforce the highland defense line, while the Final Thunder gunboat and the remaining Super Thunders assisted the Meng Army's attack.

"Warning, Paradox Engine is approaching. Temporal fluctuations detected..."

When the Paradox Engine arrived here, Moezhi immediately activated a time stop, but only killed a small number of enemies. The biggest achievement was the destruction of two Irkalla Aerial Fortresses.

It turned out that in order to avoid being wiped out by the Paradox Engine's time stop, Vidis and Irena quickly left behind some tail troops to attract the attention of the cute army after seeing the Paradox Engine was about to arrive.

The main force had already left to cover the MCV.

The Paradox Engine, which had been lured away from its mountain location like this, had no other options. Looking at the Meng Army's position that had been reduced to ruins by the two men, the Paradox Engine had no choice but to stay and send some reserve troops and facilities here to assist in the defense.

————Five hours later

After completing the reconstruction of the rear defense line of Omen, the Paradox Engine left here through hyperspace transmission after leaving behind a Southern Crusade force with a group of Super Thor gunships and massacre tanks.

After seeing the Paradox Engine leave, except for a part of Vidis and Irena's troops going to defend, the rest were assigned to perform other tasks.

After the repairs, Vidis's armored forces and air fleet continued to launch sneak attacks on the rear, but the Southern Crusaders encircled and wiped out Vidis's troops at the fastest speed. In front of the Super Thor gunboats and the slaughter tanks, even the Colossus and the Lord of the Mind could not escape the fate of being opened.

On Irena's side, after the Paradox Engine withdrew, she quickly cleared the Meng army on the high ground and rebuilt the high ground defense line.

At this time on the highland defense line, since most of the troops had already gone to the Giant Tower and the Trans-Mountain Defense Line, there were only some armored units composed of Colossi, Mind Lords, Oxidizers and Ildons in Irena's base, as well as an air force including two Irkala Aerial Fortresses.

However, this base is also very complete, and even has the Pandora Hub and two mobile cloning tanks that are connected to the four camp components.

There are also Gatling guns deployed from mobile defense vehicles around the base, mind control towers, deployed apostles, and even mind blockers.

At the outermost edges, the locations where the giant cannons were originally installed were replaced with Antares turrets.

At this time, Samuel also gave Irena one last task - to hold the high ground defense line until the Antarctic fortress was ready.

"Samuel, how long do I need to hold on?"

"Thirty minutes. The Transverse Mountain Range has done its best to stop the Meng Army. They can still hold out for thirty minutes. The focus is on you."

"understood."

After the cute army base below the high ground was bombarded by the Antares turret, the cute army found out, damn, why are these Epsilons here again?

At this time, the cute army was using their own cannons to fight against the Antares on the opposite side, while at the same time, they were using all the support skills they could use.

Soon, in addition to the routine airborne troops and Lionheart bombers, there were a large number of hunting drones, Mercury satellite strikes, and even Commander Ou Meng used light prism towers to extend all the way to the highland defense line.

Irena also arranged for the Colossus and the Oxidizer to act together, trying to ensure that no transport plane was missed. Even if any were missed, they would be controlled by the mind control tower and sent to the recycling station or the biochemical reaction room.

As for those who tried to extend their bases and use urbanization tactics with her, Irena had Ildons demolish them all with a single salvo. I'll demolish as many as they built. At the same time, she added Hell Thermal Towers and Apostles to the defense lines at the two intersections to ensure that even the infantry couldn't squeeze in.

As for the most difficult Lionheart, if you have enough Oxidizers, then attack him. If not, then quickly avoid the bombing area.

At the same time, in order to fill the gaps in the defense line as soon as possible, Irena quickly built four Irkalas and quickly rebuilt the air fleet.

Irena's goal was also simple. She would use Irkalla's Earth Nova Launcher and Supernova Implosion Bomb in conjunction with the Poison Lizard Battleship's Spirit Energy Cannon to completely demolish the defense towers built by the Meng Army below. If possible, she would also destroy the opponent's MCV.

However, when Irena used the reconnaissance crows to explore the way, she found that the Meng army might have learned their lesson. They did not prepare MCV here. That was easy. The air fleet and the Ildons with a longer range directly dismantled the opponent's giant cannons, Hyperion cannons and fire control domes.

Irena also specifically ordered the air fleet to set up a blockade line using arc kinetic cannons, mental energy cannons and supernova implosion bombs. The cute army at this blockade line only had the Hail Siege Platform to attack the highland defense line. As for the others, even the Light Prism MK2 was out of the question.

————Five minutes later

"Irena, the outer defense line of the giant tower is ready. I will send some troops to reinforce you."

As soon as Samuel finished speaking, a group of all-elite Colossi, Mind Lords, Oxidizers and Ildons rushed to Irena's highland defense line.

Although the cute soldiers who discovered this used ice spears to slow down the pace of the reinforcements, for Irena, it would not matter even if the reinforcements arrived half a minute later.

Because at this time the air fleet had blocked the attack route of the Meng army tightly, no matter whether it was the Grizzlies, Predators, or Hades, the Thor and the Basalt Battle Fortresses of the Meng army could basically not reach the hillside.

Behind the air defense line, in addition to the mass-produced Oxidizers and Colossi, large numbers of archers and Nightmare Walkers were constantly coming out of the cloning vats and barracks, which could ensure that even if the Lionheart King came, he would not be able to rush over.

In fact, the Meng army also thought about pulling in T4 units such as the Massacre Tank and Super Thor Gunship for reinforcement, but Vidis would not let them do so.

The sneak attacks she launched from time to time forced the Meng army to leave these big guys here to guard the gate if they did not want their rear defense line to be torn apart again.

————There are still twenty minutes left in the countdown.

At this time, another wave of armored forces arranged by the Meng army was once again wiped out by Irena's air defense line. Even the Barracuda bombers and Hummingbird support aircraft could not get in.

Only the Hunting Drone, Lionheart and Stratus Assault's Fire Eagle can sneak in, but they are of little use.

In fact, GDI also tried to use Firehawk fighters equipped with ceramic armor and additional hardpoints to use Sidewinder missiles to shoot down the Irkalla, which was responsible for the area blockade.

However, the large number of Colossi and archers in the Irena base made the Stratus assault impossible to achieve. Firing at a long distance could indeed avoid being attacked, but the Sidewinder missiles would also be intercepted by the Colossi and laser UFOs.

At this time, the Polar Fortress had completed the debugging of all remote evil spirit nests, and the radar spiral towers and telepathic sensors involved in the guidance had been strictly protected by telepathic blockers.

——————The countdown is fifteen minutes.

At this time, the cute army seemed to be trying to use the Lionheart to raid Irena's base. A large number of Orcas, Storm Sons, Black Hawks, Harriers and Hail Drones rushed towards the EP base, and were then shot down by Irkala, or the archers and Colossi on the ground.

Based on the principle of reciprocity, Irena would also use the Spark Bomber to open the eyes of the opponent.

The defense line in the center of the fortress has been completed, all nuclear bombs are ready, and part of the construction of the mental energy source to protect important units has been completed.

——————The last ten minutes.

The cute army seemed to have thought of another way. They sent a large number of troops to cover the Athena Cannon and guide the Mercury Satellite to fire while the troops attracted the attention of the defense line. This caused some damage to some defensive buildings, but it was not of much use.

Samuel also told Irena that the last few psychic energy sources and the production factories of the evil spirit interceptors were ready, and the Tower of Babel and all the guardians of the underworld were protected by psychic shields.

——————After the countdown ends.

"Everything at the South Pole is ready. The Pagan and Paradox Engines have broken through the Trans-Mountain defense line and are heading for the Giant Tower defense line. Your troops will head to the Giant Tower defense line to fight the Meng Army.

Vidis will stay here and wait for the main force of reinforcements from the southern hemisphere to arrive before breaking through the rear guard of the Meng army in one fell swoop. "Samuel also reminded Irena at this time.

"I understand. All this is for my father's ideal."

At this time, Irena also began to evacuate her troops in batches. First, the MCV, mobile cloning tanks and other important mobile construction vehicles, followed by archers and armored troops, poison lizard warships, and the last was the air fleet led by several Irkala air fortresses.

When the Meng army launched another round of attack, they were surprised to find that the laser UFOs and Irkalla Aerial Fortress that were blocking the door had disappeared.

Realizing something, they rushed in quickly. After easily destroying the defense towers and mind blockers in the base, they also found that the entire Epsilon base had basically been evacuated.

"Should we chase or not?"

"What are you chasing? Let's go back and consolidate our defenses. This battle has cost us a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources."

Just as the Boomerang Corps commander said, the two acts of sabotage behind enemy lines by Irena and Vidis caused the rearguard army to lose nearly half of its troops and suffered a lot of financial losses, which forced the Paradox Engine to once again allocate reserve support from the pocket space.
