Chapter 285 War
At the mouth of the Taidamila River tributary, thanks to Han Xiao's advance arrangements, a strict blockade had been formed on the shore, and many mines were also laid on the riverbed at the mouth of the sea.

Gu Meng had completely mastered the whereabouts of the evacuated troops of the Germinal Army. Han Xiao, who was controlling the army remotely, said that he had a huge advantage and had never fought such a rich battle before. If it were an ordinary commander, he would have no idea how to lose, let alone a leader like him who was ahead of his time.

The dragnet has been laid, and in his eyes, Sprout is a wild beast with no way to escape. Even if he knows there is a hunter's trap ahead, he can only rush in.

The battlefield was divided into two parts. A part of the heavy machinery was mainly responsible for the shore blockade to prevent key enemies from retreating by sea, while a large number of robots were responsible for ground interception.

Considering that the new players wanted to have a sense of participation, Han Xiao also assigned some side missions, but he did not have much hope for them. Right now, the new players were just spectators and did not have the strength to participate in this level of combat.

The ground army of Leihuojian is ambushed in the valley near the sea outlet. It is mainly composed of low-level machine soldiers, mixed with a small number of high-level robots responsible for blocking the executives of Sprout. Sprout conducts human experiments and absorbs super criminals. They advocate the use of force and have many individual masters.

In addition to the regular troops mentioned above, there are also a small number of Han Xiao's rangers who are there to gain some experience. The logistics are provided by humans. Their goal is to intercept the ground troops that are coming to join the Sprout. Mingyue Changzhong, Shanguang Chaofan, and Jiang Yuluo are serving as logistics soldiers.

The three of them were spotted by Han Xiao during the internal test, and at that time they only thought he was a mysterious NPC.

After the public beta started, I found out that he was the big boss, the commander-in-chief of the three armies of Leihuo Sword, second only to the emperor, so I joined Leihuo Sword without hesitation.

But he did not choose the mechanic department. During the internal beta test, Han Xiao was only testing the mechanism and was not fooling people to change their jobs. During the public beta test, there was no shortage of people who wanted to change to mechanic.

At this time, they had already exchanged their main professions. Shining Fried Rice and Jiang Yu Luo were both martial arts-oriented, but Ming Yue Chang finally chose superpowers.

As new recruits, the three were also recruited to do some logistics in this war.

What made the three people overjoyed was that they actually triggered a faction series of tasks - [Battle of the Taidamira River].

After the surprise, the three of them soon became distressed. There were more than a dozen objectives in the series of missions, and they could only complete the simplest and lowest-reward logistical objectives in the series of missions. Other tasks, such as killing ten Germinal soldiers, killing Germinal executives, and destroying vehicles, were completely beyond their capabilities.

"This doesn't seem to be a task that should be triggered by our level." Mingyue Changzhong said.

Shining Fried Rice and Jiang Yuluo agreed with this and thought that they must have been involved in a difficult mission beyond their level. With their novice level, they could only play a supporting role.

Indeed, at this time, the game should still be lurking on standby. When the public beta begins, players should be allowed to familiarize themselves with the background. After a while, when players have a basic understanding of the world situation and have some combat power, war conflicts will start on a small scale and proceed step by step, allowing players to slowly participate and play a role.

However, Gu Meng completely disrupted the process and launched an all-out war against the sprouts in one go. Moreover, this battle was a large-scale retreat and interception, which was considered to be of relatively high intensity.

Therefore, current players simply have no ability to participate in it. Well... to be exact, the players have been cheated out of the main storyline quests that they were supposed to have.

But it doesn't matter. Now Gu Meng has a little understanding of the mechanism of this world. The budding mission was cheated, but the experience pool of the big version will not be reduced. When the planet is unified and there is really no war main line, Gu Meng can even set up a villain camp to issue missions in the future, just as an exercise...

……

A tributary of the Taidamila River flows through the Cloud Valley and leads to the sea at the end of the valley.

Gu Meng has arrived at the edge of the Yunzha Valley. The budding ground forces will pass through the valley and meet up with the sea forces.

He came here just to watch Han Xiao fight, so he activated the spectator mode. Of course, he also wanted to find a chance to activate his body. If there was a good opponent, he could just go in and attack. Anyway, he had maxed out his defense and was not afraid of being accidentally injured. If he was accidentally injured, it would not be his main body, so it would be better to repair it.

During this period, he had been frantically attacking the sprouts to obtain experience points, and he actually got some skill points. He added them to the magic "Blood Flesh Weakness·Mechanical Ascension" that enhanced the strength of the body. The effect should be good. A punch out is much more powerful than without the strengthening magic...

It’s a bit like Mr. Kuzuki who was strengthened by Medea in Fate.

Gu Meng felt that he might have been invincible on the Aquamarine Star alone, but he had never had a life-and-death duel with a real C-level martial artist. After all, there were quite a few C-level martial artists, and the powerful executives of the budding were generally only D or D+. The C-level ones should still be in the headquarters, so he was a little angry when little Batty was surrounded and seriously injured. He became a BOSS and was replaced by a team of brave men. It was a lack of martial ethics.

……

The river flows through the narrow valley to irrigate the fertile soil. The terrain is quite diverse, with plains with light grass, woods and hills.

Han Xiao ambushed a large number of ground troops here, with all kinds of war equipment, including tanks, armed helicopters, and medium-range missiles. He also laid out a large number of minefields. At first, the robots were used directly, which was a bit of a loss. Later, Mengya did more and got a lot of weapons for free. Han Xiao also got some production lines. The more he fought, the richer he became. It would be a waste if he didn't use them.

The various command systems of the ground forces were all intelligently processed. After Han Xiao got used to it, he found it very useful. Although it was rigid, it was very controllable. As long as this war went according to plan, they would be able to win.

……

The evacuation force that sprouted in South Continent was a huge convoy consisting of hundreds of various types of tanks. This large force was a mixture of the withdrawal of troops from all the surviving bases.

Lin Yu is the commander-in-chief, and the direct person in charge of the ground forces is named Ugar, a white man.

Ugar was also well aware that his troops were about to be ambushed. The opposing general knew his side well, so there was no way to avoid this fierce battle. He had already made preparations. The evacuation troops from these bases carried some new experimental weapons, some of which were very powerful.

These experimental weapons are all important supplies, as well as several human test subjects from the [Super Soldier Project].

……

A local war began.

Fuck, fuck, fuck—suddenly, a rapidly approaching shrill sound was heard in the sky.

More than a dozen medium-range missiles flew towards the Leihuojian position with tail flames, and suddenly split into densely packed warheads in the air. These were cluster bombs, which fell rapidly.

……

At the same time, the embryonic ground convoy, which had just launched missiles, finally entered the forest area outside the Cloud Valley.

Ugar's face was heavy. The convoy was carrying an experimental device developed by Germination, which could release strong electromagnetic radiation to remotely destroy signals and reversely derive the location of enemy communication nodes. Although it was not accurate for the Thunder and Fire Sword, it was better than nothing.

Ugar believed that was the enemy's position, so he ordered the only few cellular missile launchers in the convoy to attack.

This method certainly could not kill the Thunder Fire Sword's troops. Sure enough, from a distance, Ugar saw a dense array of missile interceptor machine guns sweeping the sky, exploding all the split-sub missiles in mid-air.

Both sides have made preparations early, it just depends on which side is more prepared!
"Time is running out, we must rush over immediately!"

From the sky came the sound of helicopters' rotors whipping up strong winds, approaching at low altitude, and the next second the machine guns roared, striking from above. The budding convoy could only charge forward under the gunfire, which was extremely dangerous. Amid the gunfire, Ugar roared and ordered, "Release the graphite bombs!"

More than a dozen small graphite rockets shot up into the sky and exploded in the air among the helicopters. Many helicopters suddenly began to fly crookedly. Graphite bombs can cause range-type circuit short circuits and can somewhat slow down some low-level robots. Technology is always improving in war.

"Mihawks, you will lead the assault troops immediately to attack the communication nodes and advanced machine soldiers of the enemy's position and carry out decapitation! Those are their core. Your mission is very critical. At least you have to divert the enemy's attention!" Ugar said in a deep voice on the walkie-talkie.

In a troop carrier, the burly Mihawks hummed lightly in response. He knew that this assault would probably result in death, and he just hoped to achieve good results.

The role of super-powered people on the battlefield is generally based on assault and decapitation.

It was like this in the previous war with humans, and it is also like this in the current war with the Thunder and Fire Sword, simple and unpretentious.

The reason for fighting with humans like this is that Sprout cannot defeat the six nations head-on. The same is true for fighting with Thunder and Fire Sword. Moreover, it is too disadvantageous to exchange physical bodies for machines one by one. Destroying the opponent's communication nodes and paralyzing them in batches is the only way out.

Just like in the movies about the machine apocalypse, a hero drops a bomb to destroy the intelligent computer and solves all problems. What Mengya wants to do most now is to kill the Dark Lord and paralyze all the robots.

On the other side, at the Thunder and Fire Sword position, the scene of a large-scale war shocked Mingyue Changzhong, Shan Guang Chaofan, and Jiang Yuluo from the logistics unit. The tense atmosphere, the smell of gunpowder, and the roar of artillery fire showed that they were not capable of participating in it at their level.

"When the missile hit me just now, I thought I was going to die." Flash Fried Rice patted his chest, looking scared.

Ming Yue Changzhong smiled bitterly: "Just deliver the supplies honestly, we can't handle those combat missions."

Jiang Yuluo's face was cold, and his tone was firm, "I want to give it a try."

"What can we do with just a few small pistols?"

"I want to try."

"Forget it, we'll just go there and deliver it."

"I want to try."

Ming Yue Chang finally looked at Shining Fried Rice helplessly.

Forget it, players are just playing around, they are not really going to die, let’s go together.

……

Mengya is very clear that he has no advantage in firepower at all, the advantage of Thunder Fire Sword is getting bigger and bigger, the average quality of individual soldiers is incomparable, and the enemy's cost is very low. Generally speaking, this kind of intelligent robot chip should be very valuable, theoretically more expensive than human life.

But it seems that only the advanced robots on the opposite side have relatively valuable accessories, and ordinary soldiers are like worthless tin men, so it doesn’t matter how many of them you kill.

It might be some evil alien black technology, but I can’t understand it anyway.

Fortunately, the miscellaneous soldiers on our side are not valuable and can be consumed.

In fact, this battle could only be fought thanks to the fact that among the several generals on the opposite side, only the evil Duanmu Yan liked to release Heavenly Justice during the battle, and he usually used it to destroy buildings in positional warfare, not to attack people directly. After Han Xiao took over, Han Xiao pushed forward little by little, mostly to capture prisoners, and never used it before.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to fight with nuclear bombs all the time.

Mengya guessed that on the one hand, the enemy wanted to maximize their profits and capture more prisoners, but on the other hand, maybe... they were not brave enough and had their own bottom line and did not want to carry out a massacre?

No, no, no, how is it possible? We humans are so evil, so the aliens must be even more inhuman. The Dark Lord must not want to reveal his overly cruel side and confront the six nations in advance.

How cunning!
……

Mihawks drove a heavy motorcycle to avoid a series of attacks, but triggered a jumping mine and the motorcycle was blown over. He then ran on his legs, and his speed was not less than that of the motorcycle, weaving through the hail of bullets. In the military briefcase tucked under his armpit was a single-soldier bomb with enormous power. His mission was to deliver this bomb to the position of the advanced robots, in order to exchange one for many. If he rushed in himself, he would definitely not survive.

After fighting so many battles with Leihuojian, Mengya did not gain nothing. At least he figured out Leihuojian's command mode. It was almost entirely composed of evil robots with clear superiors and subordinates and strict hierarchy.

The strength of ordinary low-level soldiers starts from the regular army level of the six countries. Some intermediate soldiers who seem to be old models are stronger. They are no longer produced and are currently distributed in various settlements.

Elite soldiers basically have individual strength above level E, and their numbers are relatively rare. Killing one can temporarily paralyze the actions of hundreds or even tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers while they wait for the line to be reconnected. It is considered a win if they can succeed once - because Gu Meng is not micro-controlling the entire army all the time.

I can do it, but it's a bit tiring.

He was the one who delegated authority to all levels of intelligence, and gave temporary commander-level authority to Han Xiao—lower than Gu Meng’s absolute authority, and actually lower than the other cadres, because the others were truly his own people.

Han Xiao was not capable of doing everything at once. He was not yet a master mechanic of that level, so he had to send down general orders to all levels of intelligence.

Back to the topic, Mihawks is stronger than Pan Kuang before, probably a weak D-level, and is also a martial artist, and is very tanky. He can withstand a few rounds of ordinary artillery fire and rockets, but if he wants to withstand the army of the Aquamarine Star, he must accumulate from quantitative change to qualitative change. The C-level is the watershed, but the D-level is also very successful for assault and decapitation.

Han Xiao, who was playing Total War remotely at the moment, noticed this special enemy hero unit and felt that he was a bit flexible and tanky, so he decided to send the toughest combat robots to block him. As long as he didn't replace too many of these death squads, the outcome would not affect the overall situation.

Suddenly, he noticed something.

"Player? Can you advance to the center of the battlefield? This is where the artillery fire is concentrated. Can a new player do this?"

It’s not Jiang Yuluo and the others, they are still fighting hard on the edge.

"Crazy Blade and Raging Sword... a familiar ID, a martial arts expert in his previous life... but not to the point of being here now... Oh, it's Duanmu Yan, he's here."

Han Xiao felt relieved and did not deploy any more troops.

In his opinion, General Duanmu had arrived and it was obvious that Mihawks was already dead.
