Chapter 326: The First Battle of the Eye of Destiny
In the highest command room of Epsilon, Samuel also handed Yuri a piece of intelligence from the Far East branch.
After seeing this information, Yuri also learned that Lindrak, who had been missing for a long time, appeared in Novosibirsk.
According to Yuri's idea, the Eye of Destiny will immediately go to the Arctic base after completion to serve as the hub of the global mind control network.
As for why the hyperspace teleporter was not used, Yuri explained that the mental components in the Eye of Destiny were relatively fragile, and the vibrations during hyperspace teleportation would cause irreparable damage to them.
On the route of the Eye of Destiny, Novosibirsk is the only way for the Eye of Destiny. If it takes a detour, it will take more time and energy, but the situation is urgent now and they have no more time to waste.
Therefore, Samuel had to lead an elite force to escort the MCV to establish a forward base there until the Eye of Destiny arrived here. The next step was to clear out the Su troops there and escort the Eye of Destiny through here.

Military Operation: The Iron Curtain Falls
Istaru first marked out the location where the advance team appeared and the Su army base where Lindrak was located from the darkness. The two were at the northernmost and southernmost ends of the map respectively.
At this time, Samuel's troops had already appeared here. The main troops in the army were the Whisper of the Aether and two Artemis, followed by the Queen of the Underworld and the Xun Ring tanks.
At the same time, Yuri also arranged a Purge Air Fortress for Samuel. In addition to the dissolution ray launchers, it also replaced the supernova implosion bombs with the same bombs as the Blast Lice, which can effectively counter infantry and buildings.
Under the combined attack of Whisper of the Ether and Artemis, the Crisp Army positions set up by Lindrak in the suburban area disappeared like snowflakes even without the oil barrels.
At the same time, the Eliminators used dissolving rays and poisonous lice bombs to wipe out the Su army troops in the mining area west of the outpost.
“Well done, Pagan, we have successfully established a forward base, and the next step is to assemble a force to protect the Eye of Destiny.
By the way, heretic, we have detected that the Su army has deployed new heavy tanks here, please be prepared to respond."
"We even have the Iron Dragon. I'm curious about what new units Lindrak can come up with."
To be honest, the location of the forward base this time is pretty good. There are large open spaces around the base to facilitate subsequent construction, and there are also some technological oil wells and defense towers to provide economic and defense support.
There are large gold mining areas on the east and west sides of the base, and there is also a technology expansion outpost and a large gem mine on the southwestern highlands.
While Samuel was building the base, she had the Purifiers protect the western line of defense of the base, while she had her armored forces except the Queen of the Underworld clear out the Su Army in the eastern part of the base. Later, she had them act as spearheads to tear open the Su Army positions along the way.
Under the fire suppression of Whisper of Ether and Artemis, the Su army troops along the way could be said to have no ability to fight back. Even the thick-skinned Wan Lei and Red Guards would be taken away by a single shot of Whisper of Ether, not to mention the fragile Magnetic Energy and Long Fox.
At the same time, the Purifiers also used dissolving rays to wipe out the Su Army troops that were rushing over. Just look at the virus mist that was everywhere to understand this.
"Pagan, our reinforcements have arrived at the battlefield."
As soon as Istaru finished speaking, a large number of
The EP troops commanded by other pagans also worked with Samuel's armored troops to clear out the surrounding Su army troops.
However, at this time, Lindrak decisively activated the first iron curtain device, and Samuel also asked Istaru how long it would take for the Eye of Destiny to arrive.
“About twelve minutes.
By the way, Samuel, your reinforcements have arrived, please be ready to receive them."
Samuel took a look and saw that except for Artemis standing in the C position, the rest were the Queen of the Underworld, Kaamos Cannon and Questioning. She also asked these reinforcements to wait in the base first.
At the same time, everything was going smoothly for the armored units responsible for opening up the front line. At this time, they and their friendly forces had arrived at a heavily guarded forward base of the Su army.
Although this base has defense towers including Iron Guards and Earth Hammer Defense Devices, as well as a considerable number of Iron Dragons, Magnetic Energy and Red Guards, Lindrak also used the four Iron Curtain Devices here.
But this could not stop Whisper of the Aether and Artemis from blowing up the checkpoints that were not protected by the Iron Curtain one by one with one shot.
At the same time, the advance team escorting the Eye of Destiny also arrived at the battlefield, and a large number of genetic flying saucers and transport planes carrying a large number of infantry also appeared on the battlefield.
Samuel took a quick look and found that apart from the armored units, the infantry were mainly composed of archers and orcs, but there were also many T3 infantry such as virus snipers, nightmare walkers, and reapers.
In the face of Epsilon's endless human wave tactics, the Su troops in the city had basically been sentenced to death. A few of the Su troops retreated to the high ground outside the city and re-established their defense line relying on the defense facilities there.
Behind this highland defense line is Lindrak's first iron curtain device, but Samuel has no intention of charging headfirst. She directly commands two Artemis to use their range advantage to destroy the Su army outside its range.
Seeing this, Lindrak also assembled a large number of land forces to try to destroy Samuel's Artemis and Whisper of the Ether in one wave.
In this operation, Lindrak also brought a large number of elite troops, including many semi-mechanical pioneers, apocalypses, ten thousand thunder tanks and furious Kirov, etc.
But this move made Samuel and other pagans very happy. They were also very happy that the Su army took the initiative to step out of their turtle shells and seek a fight.
Relying on the fire suppression of Whisper of the Ether and the successive attacks of a large number of EP infantry, the pace of the Su army was delayed.
Therefore, even if the Su army at the front set up the Iron Curtain, at most they could only break the outermost mental shield of the Whisper of Ether, and it was still a long way from successfully destroying it.
Ultimately, Lindrak's raid on the EP super-armored units ended in failure as Samuel's troops pushed the Su army back to the highland defense line.
As for the forward base, although the Su army arranged batches of airborne infantry and tanks to try to cause sabotage, they were all repelled by Samuel's armored forces.
After the Reapers and Nightmare Walkers that Yuri arranged for Samuel arrived to support, Lindrak temporarily gave up the plan of sending the Air Force to harass the forward base.
However, in line with the idea of not reciprocating, Samuel took advantage of the fact that Lindrak's Iron Curtain stance was still on cooldown and completely tore apart the highland defense line in one go.
"The Pagans, the headquarters guards, and the Scorpion Organization have all provided us with a batch of armaments. Please make good use of them."
"I see. So, what's the situation with the Eye of Destiny? How long will it take to arrive?"
"EMM, it will take some time. By the way, heretics, the super weapons installed in the Eye of Destiny are now ready for use.
You can now use Berserk and Psychic Domination."
"understood."
As Samuel spoke, he took the Duke and Judge main battle tanks that came from the two camps, along with the Artemis and a dozen maintenance Stingers and Iron Balls to support the vanguard.
As for the vanguard, because they were close to the base where the second Iron Curtain device was located, they had to stay where they were and clear out the Su troops rushing over from the surrounding areas.
At this time, the most important Eye of Destiny finally arrived at the battlefield. Surrounding it were four Irkalla Aerial Fortresses, more than a dozen Poison Lizard warships and Hercules flying saucers. Moreover, the Eye of Destiny could provide them and the surrounding EP troops with a violent BUFF.
But at this time Samuel received bad news. Due to insufficient energy, this super air fortress could only temporarily serve as a mobile super weapon and BUFF enhancer.
What made Samuel want to curse even more was that the driver was so stubborn that he drove directly towards the passage opened by Epsilon. Samuel and other pagans had to clear out all the Su army's air defense forces around the Eye of Destiny's route just like the Meng army in the early days of the Mental Omega War.
What else can I do? Fight.
————A few moments later
After dealing with the last batch of Apocalypse and Iron Dragons that rushed over, the Su army here was temporarily unable to launch a large-scale attack.
Samuel also seized the opportunity. After the Duke, Xun Jie and the Judge blocked the way forward of the Su Army's armored forces beside the Whisper of the Ether, the three Artemis also concentrated their fire to destroy the second Iron Curtain device.
However, while destroying the Iron Curtain facility, Samuel also retained a Soviet radar station.
Relying on the production facilities and synthesis cylinders built there, Samuel's EP armored force was replenished with a batch of stingers and iron balls. At the same time, an old friend also appeared in the armored force—the Junhuo tank.
Seeing this, Lindrak gathered the last of his reserve troops and prepared to have them destroy the outpost built by Samuel and those Junhuo tanks.
————Five minutes later
Soon Lindrak learned good news and bad news. They successfully destroyed the outpost, but there was no one there except some Yuri statues, as if they were left for them on purpose.
Only then did Lindrak realize that he had fallen into Samuel's trap.
Unfortunately, he realized it too late.
At this time, the armored forces had destroyed the third Iron Curtain device, and in the face of EP's steel torrent, the last base that Lindrak was responsible for naturally could not hold out for too long.
Within a few minutes, EP's armored forces successfully broke through the Su army's positions, and Jun Huo and Artemis' concentrated fire destroyed the buildings in the Lindrak base bit by bit.
Seeing this situation, Lindrak knew that the game was over and no matter how unwilling he was, he had no choice but to withdraw from the battlefield. After all, there is an old saying in Ceris: "A good night's sleep is as long as you have the green hills to burn."
After Lindrak left, the fate of the local Su army was already doomed. With the destruction of Lindrak's base, the Su army here was also completely dispersed.
Even if some of the Su troops could dodge the main attack of Samuel and other pagans, when they gathered all their air defense forces and prepared to fire at the Eye of Destiny, the surrounding Irkalla, Hercules flying saucers and Poison Lizard warships would keep them out.
After the Eye of Destiny left the battlefield, Yuri expressed his sincere gratitude to Samuel. Now it is certain that the Eye of Destiny will enter the Arctic region.
But all this is far from over. After leaving the battlefield, Lindrak began to contact Tianshu.
"Lindrak, how's the situation over there?"
"I'm sorry, Tianshu, I... I failed. Now that air fortress is about to head to the Arctic region, it all depends on you."
“………I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Doctor.”
