From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 282 Familiar People
Throughout Amber's "Star Sky OL" gaming career, he has never seen a real Forerunner battleship in the game.

Those 'Forerunner Unmanned Legions' that have become enemies of large guild-level groups are also Forerunner creations.

But in terms of positioning, they are just 'auxiliary corps', which is still very different from the real forerunners.

The official did not release the background setting of this civilization soon, and some small amount of background stories are hidden in the game's plot waiting for players to explore on their own.

Some senior "researchers" could tell at a glance that this "Forerunner Civilization" was a stitched together with a lot of science fiction game settings after just looking at some corner fragments.

But even so, until Amber traveled through, apart from discovering some ruins and creations, the players had never seen any of the Forerunners with their own eyes, let alone their spaceships and battleships.

Only in some stone carvings and murals made by unknown races, we have seen some scenes that are suspected of Forerunner warships 'burning the earth'.

These scenes, as well as the uniquely shaped spaceships in the scenes, can be said to be highly overlapped with the scene in front of Amber.

"So this is really a Forerunner warship. Why are they attacking cities on the ground? Are these people running away humans?"

Amber looked at the spacecraft suspended in the air in the distance and pouring firepower towards the ground, as well as the people running around.

Before Amber could finish her rant, she heard a rapid roar from behind.

But unfortunately, their attacks seemed to have no other effect except stimulating some blue ripples on the surfaces of these spacecrafts.

Amber looked at the steel giants at the front of the team, and then at the stable battleships in the sky, feeling that something was about to happen.

At a certain moment, Amber could even see a spirit called 'death but no life' in these steel giants, which gradually materialized in their attacks.

Anyway, I should, probably, probably won't be hurt, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

After confirming that what was in front of her was just an illusion and that she was more of a 'viewer', Amber no longer had the panic she had at the beginning.

At the same time as they launched their assault, they were also accompanied by attacks from a large number of ground-to-air fire support units. Beams, ballistic lines of fire, and missiles continued to attack the warships as if they were free of charge.

These 'humanoid giants' are more similar to the nine-headed body proportions and look more like real humans.

When the streets were filled with people and vehicles running away, Amber became the only "rebel" on the street, and he also discovered that these people running away were not entirely human beings.

The weapons in their hands are also diverse, which reflects from the side that the logistics system of this army has serious problems.

There are also some tall, handsome elves with a pair of iconic pointed ears.

Now, these tall steel giants were arranged in some kind of battle formation in the long blue trails ejected from the back propulsion array, and they were heading towards the 'Forerunner Battleship' that was raging in the air.

Right?

But compared to what Amber is familiar with, the current mainstream HCP in mankind generally adopts the design style of "little-headed daddy".

Then several huge black figures passed over him at high speed, making him no longer the only 'rebel' on this street.

The steel giants in the assault continued to flexibly adjust their body shapes and assault routes, ignoring the interception of these air battleships, and continued to use their weapons to attack the huge targets in front of them.

Amber looked at these huge black figures. They all had humanoid structures similar to HCP.

"Huh? These elves actually live together with humans? How many hybrids will there be?"

Because he didn't know whether the illusion in front of him would suddenly end, he decided to watch it for a while while there was still time.

Meanwhile, in other areas around the city, squadrons of these HCP-like units sprouted from the streets between buildings.

Amber opened his legs and walked forward. After realizing that his body seemed to be unrestricted, he started running directly.

And just as this thought flashed through his mind, several beams of light suddenly swept out from the large warships that were targeted for attack.

Immediately afterwards, these almost infinitely long 'beam sabers' easily swept across the path of the steel giants' advance.

The moment the 'giants' were attacked, their whole bodies lit up with light similar to 'shields', but these shields only lasted for less than a moment under the light of the beam, and then they collapsed one after another.

Following the trajectory of these beams sweeping through the air, a series of explosions appeared in the air.

The remains of the steel giants burned, spun, and fell in the air. The loud noise they made when they hit the ground became their last 'roar'.

Amber took a rough sweep and found that most of the HCPs that had just passed over his head were swept away by these weapons that seemed to be self-defense beams. Only the last two were still struggling to charge forward. go.

But they didn't last long. After the number of targets to intercept was reduced, these self-defense beams were able to concentrate their firepower on them.

The last surviving steel giant showed extremely high skills and broke into the last distance while dancing in this 'rain of light'.

However, its mechanical arm and stepping unit had been cut off by the beam during the advance, and there were not many weapons left on it.

At this last moment, he used himself as the last weapon without hesitation and hit it like a comet.
Perhaps the possible gods could not sit back and watch their attacks become useless. When the steel giant turned into a huge plasma fireball, the battleship's shield also faded away in a burst of blue 'ripples'.

The next second, more violent attacks appeared from all over the city, just like the city's last struggle, pouring all its anger on the battleship. When a thick blue-white beam penetrated the middle of the battleship, the huge battleship finally lost control and fell towards the ground.

But even though the defenders of these cities tried their best, they could only manage to destroy this one battleship.

Within the range that Amber could see with his naked eyes, there were four such warships in the sky, attacking the ground.

Amber quickened her pace and passed through one street after another like a gust of wind.

Broken corpses, burning remains of combat vehicles, and those steel giants lying among the buildings
As these 'scenes' got closer and closer to the center of the battlefield, their frequency began to increase rapidly, and finally they could be seen almost everywhere.

But the strange thing is that he did not see the enemy that should have appeared on this battlefield.

But before he could think about this carefully, he saw a makeshift frontline command post appearing on the corner of the street in the distance.

In this front finger that was almost under the eyes of the 'enemy', soldiers were constantly coming in and out, and there were also troops all around that were moving towards the depths of the city.

In the center of the city that Amber could not see, the sound of fierce fighting did not stop for a moment, as if the battle seemed to have no end.

Amber walked into this frontline command post that was obviously full of human style, only to find that although the officers inside were hurried and anxious in their steps and movements, they still maintained a calm look on their faces.

The operational staff stared closely at the electronic sand table and continued to conduct temporary deductions.

The communications staff and logistics staff were in front of the terminal, communicating quickly with the people on the other end of the line, and occasionally uttered one or two swear words.

"The guards of the Elf King's Court have joined the second assault group. The last few Imperial Silencers who can still move will also join the battle. They will launch another attack on the enemy's 'Adventure Zone' in five minutes. We are still Is there any long-range firepower available for support?”

"No more. The attack just now has exhausted our final ammunition reserves for self-propelled artillery, rockets, and tactical missiles. We have already cut off supply after the mobile ammunition production center outside the city was targeted three days ago."

"Fuck! If there is no long-range firepower to weaken the enemy's defensive field, their offense will have big problems!"

A combat officer who looked like a Roma man hammered the electronic sandbox hard, causing the picture displayed on it to shake.

"Stop hammering. This is the last electronic sand table. If you break it, we will have to go back to hand-drawing and look at the city planning drawings from decades ago."

"Smash an orbital defense platform down? Although these things have lost their attack capabilities, if you control them and smash them down, they can still achieve the effect of orbital strike!"

"No, the variables are too big. If it hits us on the head, there is no need to hit us."

Just as several combat staff members beside the electronic sandbox were getting entangled, the terminal in the hands of a communications staff officer on the other side fell to the ground, and then he collapsed to the ground.

Several companions around him quickly supported him and prevented the communications officer from falling completely.

"what happened?"

"Rear Admiral Murat and Rear Admiral Louis were killed in the attack just now. It was General Murat who finally detonated the small fusion furnace of the aircraft and destroyed the shield of the enemy warship."

The moment she heard these two names, Amber felt her heart skip a beat.

He never expected that he would hear his familiar name in this vision.

Duplicate name? Could there be such a coincidence?
As soon as this thought flashed through Amber's mind, she saw a sturdy figure walking in from outside the command post's gate.

He looked closely and saw a wolf-headed man wearing a combat exoskeleton and holding an electromagnetic machine gun.

On the shoulder armor plate of his exoskeleton, there was also spray-painted a symbol that Amber was very familiar with, representing a general in the Atlas military rank system.

"Admiral Hogg! Why are you pointing forward?!"

"Yes! It's too dangerous here, Admiral Hogg! Go back to the rear!"

When the combat staff saw the wolf-headed man, they all stepped forward to dissuade him.

And Amber also saw a familiar shadow in this 'wolf-headed man' general.

"Huh, where is the rear? This is the final battlefield!"

Admiral Hogg's tone was serious, but just when he was about to say something more, he looked in the direction of Amber.

At this moment, Amber seemed to feel that this gaze traveled through time and looked directly at herself.

And the eyes of this fierce-looking wolf-headed man also became hazy at this moment.

A voice of surprise, disbelief, doubt, but at the same time igniting hope, reached Amber's ears.

"Boss?!"
