My players are so fierce.

Chapter 1396 1393. Into Hell: Roar of the Iron Bear

"What the hell is this? With this money, why not buy a set of good enchanted plate armor? I really don't understand what the young people nowadays are thinking about."

The fully armed Mr. Qin looked with a pained look on his face at the "Iron Giant Bears" who were boarding the airship one after another under the escort of players. To be honest, as an assault operation that emphasized efficiency, he really didn't want to bring these "downgraded" power armors that looked unreliable.

This thing not only takes up a large area but is also much heavier than real power armor, which reduces the effective load of the airship.

However, Happy Stick convinced Mr. Qin with just one sentence.

When they really jump into the insect nest and need to perform the rear-end mission, will Master Qin really be willing to let his precious power armor knight detonate the bomb to cover everyone?
It can't be!

In this case, this "high quality and low price" steel bear comes in handy.

Anyway, no one would feel sorry even if they were destroyed. These things were insured by Boss Huo's "Treasure Bay Insurance" when they came off the production line of the Mechanicus' factory. Although the compensation is not full, if they are really destroyed in important military operations, the People's Army Logistics Department will also give certain compensation.

The combined amount is enough for players to buy a new Iron Bear.

It is simply the best configuration for carrying out a suicide mission from which there is no return!
The most important thing is that although the Iron Giant Bear is heavy, it is still much lighter than the heavy dragoon. Moreover, in the cramped environment underground in the Zerg nest, this thing is obviously more useful than the dragoon.

Moreover, its external armor is thick enough that ordinary insects cannot penetrate it with their claws, making it perfect for use as an assault vanguard.

"This thing is a civilian version of power armor, and I heard from Oo Ni that it's not difficult to make."

When boarding the airship, Happy Stick, who was wearing an exoskeleton, whispered to Master Qin:
“Considering the increasingly outrageous intensity of battles in this material world, if we really want to upgrade the armaments of the entire continent, instead of giving the warriors of other kingdoms advanced rifles and bullets, it would be better to give them the method of making this steel bear.

A new recruit from the Plantagenet Kingdom with a berserker rifle cannot kill an elite insect, but a team of slightly trained mechanics can ride the Iron Bear to kill their way in and out of the insect swarm.

The most important thing is that its technology is simple enough, and the mechanical priests also intend to spread this gold-burning engine technology.

Although I haven't done any actual combat tests against Chaos Monsters, I think if this thing can kill elite bugs, then it should be able to fight against elite monsters specialized in close combat like the Flesh Ripper.

Even if it's three for one, right? Master Qin."

Happy Stick shook his head and said:

"From the most pessimistic perspective, this is also a precious opportunity for ordinary soldiers to fight hard enough, using the roar of steel instead of weak bullets to restore dignity for the dead. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, they would never be able to compete with the Flesh Tearers."

"You mean the big glory bullet?"

Lao Qin stroked his chin, thought about it thoughtfully, then nodded and said:
"Well, that makes sense, but this is not something we can decide. Governor Murphy's request that the Transians focus on dealing with the three hives in this battle and ignore the small hives on the borders of other areas already represents his attitude.

Maybe it's because he might be leaving.
In short, he had to make sure that before he left, he left behind a world that could rely on itself to fight against disasters. Even if they didn't have the strength, they at least had the courage to face it! "

"leave?"

Happy Stick asked in surprise:

"Where are you going, Master Murphy?"

"I don't know. Cement told me, but Cement is just guessing."

Master Qin shook his head and said:
"She and I, Xiao Ashina, and Afeng, the four of us are the warriors of Lord Murphy, but we don't know more than you do. One thing is certain, Lord Murphy's end is definitely not in the material world, and the players' end is not here either.

I know that he is secretly promoting a plan called "Star Army". Perhaps after the end of version 4.0, we will leave the material world and go to the Broken Star Realm.

Then, it will be time to truly face the Chaos Army."

"Okay!"

Happy Stick showed a belligerent smile and said:

"I'm tired of chopping these weak flesh and blood in the material world. I can't wait to compete with Chaos."

"Take a bite."

Master Qin complained:
"You can go crazy as you please when we parachute into the insect nest, but stay awake now!"

"Master Qin, look! The insect swarm is pouring out of the swamp. Zhuo, how long has it been? They have released another wave of soldiers!"

Doujiang Baidao, who was driving the airship into the air, shouted in the communication:
"This may be the fastest player we have ever faced. The number of his troops is almost the same as that of Dagon's murlocs. Moreover, these guys are obviously much more difficult to deal with than murlocs on land."

“It’s the recycling of biomass.”

Mr. Qin explained:
“After the previous battle, we hardly saw many insect corpses on the battlefield. When those guys evacuated, they took their corpses away and used them to replenish biomass.

This is what the druids of the Church of Avalon said. Although there will be a certain amount of loss in this recycling process, it can basically ensure that a wave of soldier insects will burst out of the hive in a short period of time. Otherwise, the life in the filthy swamp alone will not be enough to support such a crazy battle of the insect swarm.

These bugs are pretty 'energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.'"

He stared at the battlefield below the airship. It was almost dawn, but the roar of cannons and the flames emitted by the charging dragoons illuminated this dark moment. The ruthless trampling of the Winged Hussars entering from the flanks was still as shocking as before. However, in today's Transia, the Winged Hussars were just one of many types of troops and no longer had the decisive momentum of the past.

"Notify Yan Sang! Send out an escort fleet to cooperate with the vampires to clear the airspace ahead!"

Lao Qin retracted his gaze and said to the staff beside him:
"We set sail! Get to the top of Hive No. 1 as quickly as possible, and then launch an airborne operation! I hope those crudely made steel giant bears don't fall apart when they fall."

"Well, no, Master Qin, the mechanical priests have taken this situation into consideration. The giant steel bears are equipped with disposable reverse thrust rockets, which are enough to allow them to land safely at a height of 100 meters. However, if it is higher, it is hard to say."

"Shut up! Don't plant the flag!"

"Ow."
-
It has only been two days since Hive No. 1 appeared in the Filthy Swamp, but this damn place has already created a town-sized tunnel deep in the swamp. That thing is really conspicuous, especially when viewed from the air.

When the two armed airships entered the airspace above Hive No. 1 despite the siege of flying insects, even the players with the worst eyesight noticed the ugly circular sunken pit on the ground. All the trees and vines around the pit had disappeared, and groups of worker insects were constantly biting and gnawing at the trees in the surrounding mud and water, pushing them down and sending them into the hive.

Obviously, the Hive's understanding of "biomass" is different from that of the players.

In their eyes, all organic matter can serve as a source of biomass. To put it more abstractly, what insect swarms need for reproduction may be all substantial "vitality".

"I heard it. The swamp was roaring and crying."

The high-level druid Huozi on the airship rubbed his forehead and whispered:
"The emergence of the insect swarm has caused the natural will here to feel a burning pain. Avalon hates such abnormally born but extremely greedy and unrestrained lives.

He is commanding me to get rid of these guys.

There is no doubt that the warriors who participate in the Zerg Swarm battle can be favored by Avalon. Perhaps this is a good place to brush the 'Life' and 'Nature' destiny ranks. "

"The Pluto Bug is also roaring." Opposite Brother Huozi, the Death Moon Priest "July 3" who existed in the form of a Songhai person and walked the Road of Death shouted:

"These bugs don't obey Him! They are true rebels. They are not protected by Hades. The death of every bug can please Hades! Brothers, the God of Death has generously bestowed his power and is waiting for us to harvest it."

"boom"

Before July 3rd's frantic shouting was over, the airship they were on made a loud noise, and then the calm voice of the airship commander, Serak Finder, rang out from the cabin:

"Warriors! The left engine of the Merchant Dynasty was destroyed by a suicide attack by flying insects, but it will not interfere with the unplanned crash of the airship. Please prepare for airborne operations immediately! This ship will complete the operation before the crash."

"Fuck! Brother Fenda, your ship is about to crash. How can you be so calm?"

A strange cry suddenly sounded in the cabin, but then Brother Wu Miao complained:
"Calm down! When has Fanta's ship never crashed?
You can count by yourselves. Whenever he participates in a battle, he will definitely destroy a ship. I said, this guy Fenda definitely has some strange "vehicle killer" physique. His Merchant Dynasty has been recast for the fourth time, right?"

"This is the sixth time."

The Tiger and Leopard Rider Lin beside him covered his eyes and sighed:
"Except for the name, this airship has no resemblance to the original one. It is said that due to the multiple crashes, Mr. Huo's Treasure Bay Insurance no longer accepts Serak's insurance. It's really tragic.

But judging from the brother's calm tone, he had gained experience from falling off a boat.

Forget it, let’s not talk about it anymore and prepare for the airborne landing.

The bugs are waiting for their meal below, and we are hungry to grab victory as a morning snack! Ah, the delicious taste of victory. "

"Hey, Lin! You haven't been this immature before."

Sanwudou complained:

"What's going on? Where is the calm veteran from before?"

"Tsk, who can stay out of their madness in this life? We are just forcing ourselves to do it."

In the light of the flashing red indicator lights in the cabin, Lin stood up with the help of his mechanical halberd and said with a pout:

"I just found my nature. Besides, I officially joined the Wamu Brotherhood a few days ago. Giant Shark told me that our Laowa likes Chuunibyou. The more Chuunibyou are, the more Laowa's blessing you can get. Alas, I don't want to do that either."

"Get out of the way! The giant bear is coming!"

Just as the hovering armed airship opened its lower deck to prepare for an airdrop, in front of another special hatch, Xiao Weiming's squeaking voice accompanied by heavy footsteps came from the operating cabin of "Iron Bear No. 1". She drove her big baby in a domineering manner and walked at the front of the five steel bears of the airship.

He even opened the visual window and proudly gave a provocative look to the power armor knight Fen Li'er next to him, which made Fen Li'er look helpless.

No, ladies!
It's a question whether this crudely made thing of yours can withstand three punches from a Desert Tiger like me. Are you so proud of it?
But think about it the other way around, when I, as a genuine power armor knight, have to be compared with Ashina's big toy, Ashina and her hard-to-complain "Iron Bear No. 1" have already won half the battle.

I'm racing against Xiao Ashina's cast iron wheelchair with my Ferrari, but even if I win, I won't show my face.

"Ahem, follow me after you land."

A pink pear said to little Ashina:
"This is your first time engaging in armored combat. Don't run around relying on your advantage. We will serve as the armored spearheads of the player camp and clear the way for them. In short, just follow me."

"Oh, okay."

Although Ashina may be provocative, he is still very reliable when performing military tasks.

She did not refute, but after Pink Pear jumped down on the Desert Tiger, she pushed the joystick to make Iron Bear No. 1 jump down as well.

But compared to the cool and stylish way of other people's power armor bombarding the ground directly without slowing down at all, the fat steel bear has to activate a one-time reverse thrust rocket in the air, so as to prevent this thing from disintegrating before it falls down.

"Hey, we lost just based on the way we appeared on the stage."

Lumina in the cockpit above sighed helplessly, but Ashina below didn't care at all. When the reverse thrust brought by the reverse rocket caused the Iron War Bear to smash into the ground in an impact posture, Ashina screamed, pushed the joystick with both hands and launched a pig charge forward.

Fen Li'er, who had just landed and killed several ambush elite insects, turned around and was stunned to see the Iron Bear No. 1 accelerating like a heavy tank and rushing into the swarm of insects pouring out of the tunnel in front.

You know what, even though the Desert Tiger Power Armor is ahead of the Iron War Bear in all aspects, it cannot withstand the Iron War Bear's large size and strong deterrence. Insects don't compare specifications and parameters, so they will naturally attack whichever is bigger.

As a result, although his killing efficiency was much higher than that of the other side, Xiao Ashina stole the limelight on the battlefield.

Insects were everywhere rushing towards Iron Bear No. 1, but with the cooperation of Ashina and Lumina, this crudely made giant bear used its three unrefined but absolutely brutal mechanical claws to tear and crush every insect that approached it, especially against the backdrop of the dragon's breath fire caused by the close-range large-caliber grenade bombardment, it was like a hungry iron beast that had just awakened from hibernation.

"Boiled!"

A pink pear looked at the fiery scene in front of him and said helplessly:
"If I didn't already have this Desert Tiger, I would really like to get an Iron Bear to play with. This thing is really brutal in a fight, and its absolute brute force crushes everything. It is full of a simple and rough Mao style."

"What are you standing there for? Pink Pear! Take your Giant Bear Squad and head towards the tunnel immediately! Clear a path. The other players and I will come down."

Master Qin's scolding sounded from the communication channel of the power armor, causing Fen Li'er to stop admiring her gaze. She stretched her body and pushed the output power of the power armor to a high level. The next moment, a burning flame tore through the noisy tunnel, and the Desert Tiger holding two melta axes killed its way through, leaving an exaggerated road of ashes.

"Keep up! Rookie."

Pink Pear's shout echoed among her Giant Bear Squad, causing Ashina to grit his teeth in displeasure and say:
"Ah, as expected, no matter what aspect, it is not as good as the original Power Knight. I really can't accept it! Big Bear No. 1 has tried so hard."

"Hey! Enough of these comments from anime supporting characters."

Lumina above used her mechanical arms to chop down the swarm of insects that were rushing over from all around. She said helplessly:
"The money from a set of power armor is enough for you to collect 150 Iron Bears. These two are not even in the same class, there is no need to compare them.

Hurry up and follow!

If you miss the time, be careful that Master Qin will tear your potato head off. Since he "emigrated" to Transia, his temper has become more and more irritable, just like he is back to his twenties. It's really strange."
-
Just as the players rushed into the tunnel, in the deepest part of the No. 1 insect nest, the nest master insect sensed the danger and screamed, but it did not flee with its huge body. Instead, it ordered its elite insect guards to escort a strange insect with a small body but an unexpectedly big belly out of the depths of the nest.

This special team escaped from here along the tunnel left by the previous black disaster, while the nest master insect waved its claws and destroyed the entrance of the tunnel.

Then, it used its cold compound eyes and the sensory organs hidden under its shell to determine the attacker's location.

It may not have much wisdom, but it is not afraid of the concept of "death".

Every nest master like it has his own mission, which is to collect the genetic information of the creatures in their area and feed it back to the swarm. The advantages, weaknesses, fighting methods and war thinking of those creatures regarded as "enemies" will all be collected.

This valuable information will advance the evolution of the Zerg, and as long as the sacred evolution never stops, the Zerg will be invincible!
Ah, for the birth and longevity of Scalefather
One day, even eternity will lie dormant amid their humming sounds that block out the sun and the sky!
