The prince of heaven only wants salted fish

The two who were about to fight were forced to stop because of the arrival of other individual teams.

But the fight was not completely stopped - because when everyone present briefly introduced themselves to each other, a horn sounded suddenly.

Woo woo woo -

The new recruits were still unfamiliar with this scene, but the veterans knew what it meant, and they all rushed out with their new members: "This is the assembly horn, hurry up and prepare for battle!!"

When the teams were assigned before, the approximate area of ​​defense for each team had been divided, so even if the battle horn sounded very hastily now, it would not affect all the individual soldiers to arrive quickly.

The first line of individual defense is always guarded by mecha soldiers, and even if they are rotating, they will remain vigilant to prevent sneak attacks. The second line of defense is composed of less experienced recruits, and when the battle is not so intense, few Zergs can break through the first line of defense, so the basic number of troops is not large. All the individual soldiers will be gathered when the horn is blown - but that also means that the Zerg has launched a new round of attack.

On the front line of the war zone with the Zerg, the mechas assigned to the mecha soldiers are much better than when Ji Cheng was in the eleventh star zone before - even though he is just a new recruit for internship, because of his excellent mental power, the army still gave him a set of S-level standard mechas, and the parts that are easily attacked by the Zerg are specially made of SS-level parts. The combination is considered a set of S-level mechas, which are specially used for mecha soldiers with mental power higher than S-level.

As for why they are not given higher-level standard mechas? That's because there are none.

Soldiers with mental power above S-level are extremely rare, and mass production is not necessary at all. Moreover, soldiers with such mental power usually have the capital to customize their own mechas within a few years of fighting in the army.

Or more will be like Jonah - born either rich or noble, the elders at home sent a customized advanced mecha overnight when they heard that the child was going to the battlefield.

Ji Cheng, a poor genius who can only wait for the army to assign, can be classified as rare.

But in general, he was satisfied with the military in the war zone - at least he was not asked to drive a B-class mecha to dance for tourists! !

Ahem, this is a bit off topic.

The army's battle horn sounded, and all the soldiers immediately drove their mechas to the corresponding areas after hearing it. In the area of ​​the second line of defense, the soldiers formed teams of three and waited in the outer periphery of the defense light curtain. When looking around, they could even vaguely see the shadows of other teams.

Because they were not so familiar with each other's cooperation, Ji Cheng, Jonah and Gene formed a relatively conservative triangle formation, which could attack and defend, and no matter which side was attacked and could not react, it was easier for the other two sides to support.

As a violent mechanic, Loris also rushed out in a mecha. Probably because of his excellent mental strength, Lorenzo did not hide behind the defense light curtain like ordinary pharmacists, but also drove out in a mecha, but his position was a little further back than Loris.

However, the mechas they were driving were different from those driven by individual soldiers, and were designed for defense.

At this time, the individual soldiers on the first line of defense had already started fighting with the Zerg, and the starships in the back were also using long-range attacks to assist, but even so, a considerable number of Zergs still passed the mecha soldiers in the front and headed straight for the second line of defense.

Unlike the previous fight against low-level Zergs on Arata, this time Ji Cheng and his team faced a group of species with more hideous shapes and more ferocious attacks, which came overwhelmingly.

——The strength of the Zerg is very simple, and it is almost enough to judge by volume. The ones that Ji Cheng and his team saw on Arata were only the size of two fists, but on the front line of the real interstellar battlefield, the smallest ones were as tall as a person.

Imagine what it would feel like to have a cockroach as tall as a person standing in front of you?

Even with Ji Cheng's mentality, when he saw such a dense Zerg pressing over, he felt his cheeks a little tight for a moment.

It's no wonder that the new recruits who just came to the war zone were only arranged in the second line of defense - if they were sent directly to the first line of defense, they would probably kneel on the spot when they saw these Zergs.

Soon, the Zergs that broke through the first line of defense were close to them. This short buffer time also allowed most people to regain some rationality. At this time, Gene was in the center of the small triangle of their three-person team and took the lead in facing the Zerg attacking in their direction!

Ji Cheng followed closely behind, connecting and controlling the mecha with mental power, and also slashed the belly of another Zerg with two swords!

Jonah's reaction was a little slower, but he was also an excellent student of the Imperial Military Academy. Although his movements were a little more embarrassed than Ji Cheng and Gene, he also stabbed into the opponent's huge mouth after being knocked down by the attacking Zerg. The Zerg screamed miserably, and although it broke free, it was much slower because of the injury, and it was only a matter of time before it was killed.

Most of the other teams on the second line of defense were like Jonah. They quickly recovered and fought back after the initial discomfort. However, there were a few with extremely poor mental qualities or who were unlucky enough to encounter powerful Zerg. They were torn to pieces along with the mechas they were driving - and some were luckier and were only injured or their mechas were damaged. For these, they had to rely on Lorenzo and Loris to work together to help.

An hour passed in a blink of an eye, the Zerg's attack continued, and the new recruits on the second line of defense began to adapt to the rhythm of the battle, switching from passive defense to active attack; also because the soldiers on the first line of defense were gradually exerting their strength, the number of Zerg that could break through their defense and rush to the second line of defense was decreasing. For example, in the area that Ji Cheng and his men were responsible for, it took almost ten seconds for a new Zerg to rush over. "It looks like today is just a routine attack," Gene said to Ji Cheng and the others while killing the Zerg. "The number of Zergs rushing over has gradually decreased. It is estimated that this battle will be over in half an hour."

"That's a blessing in disguise," Jonah panted, "It's my first time on the battlefield, and the slime on my body... Ugh, I must wash it off after I go down."

"It's just that the mecha is dirty," Gene smiled, "It's the greatest luck to be able to go back alive."

Jonah took the time to look in other directions, and his voice dropped: "Indeed."

Ji Cheng didn't mean to chat with the two people. He stood in the air with a sword in one hand and a long shield in the other, and his eyes looked around vigilantly.

Now he is on the battlefield, all kinds of detectors are turned on, and there is a group of mecha soldiers whose mental power is violent because of the battle. Under various interferences, he can safely release mental power perception, and the coverage range is so wide that it almost covers the entire battlefield.

At this time, he could feel that not far from the first line of defense——

The next second, an overwhelming scream sounded, Ji Cheng's pupils shrank, and then he angrily reminded: "Attention! Return to defense!!"

Jonah trusted Ji Cheng very well, and immediately held his weapon tightly and took a posture to fight the enemy. Gene's reaction was one point behind. When he came back to his senses, he found that the Zerg army, which had been sparse, suddenly became dense!

At this time, all the individual soldiers' communicators also sounded the reminder from the rear command: "Attention, a small Zerg tide is coming!!"

In addition to the conventional attacks that come almost every few days, the Zerg will launch a few large-scale attacks every one or two years, which are called "Zerg tides". There is no specific time or frequency of Zerg tides, and they can only be distinguished by size. Among them, small Zerg tides are okay, if it is a large Zerg tide, almost the entire war zone will have to change blood.

But even if it is only a small Zerg tide this time, it is enough for their war zone-after all, a considerable part of the soldiers in the second line of defense are new recruits in the barracks, and they are not as good as veterans in terms of psychological quality and tacit cooperation.

But they were unlucky to encounter such a low-probability event on the battlefield for the first time.

When a small Zerg tide came, most of the soldiers on the first line of defense were very experienced. It was difficult for them to be killed by such an attack, but correspondingly, the number of Zergs capable of breaking through their defense line also increased greatly. And perhaps because they noticed the remarkable performance of Ji Cheng's team in killing the enemy, a considerable number of Zergs that crossed the first line of defense actually chose the area they defended!

Gene was a veteran and had some experience in dealing with Zerg tides. He immediately ordered the three of them to get close to each other to prevent being defeated one by one.

Ji Cheng was fine. Every move was clean and neat. Every sword light fell on the vital parts of the Zerg attacking him, making it impossible for them to get close. But Jonah was far from being so comfortable. It was his first time on the battlefield and the first time he saw such a scene. Although he had not made any mistakes before, it was difficult to conceal the clumsiness and hesitation in his response.

Almost instantly, the Zergs decided the direction of attack and rushed towards Jonah!

"Be careful--"

Bang!

Two voices sounded almost at the same time. Ji Cheng quickly broke the head of the Zerg that tried to attack Gene from behind, and turned around to check the situation of the remaining two people: "How are you?"

Jonah said in a panic: "I'm fine, but Gene..."

Gene smiled bitterly: "People are fine for the time being, but a small energy converter in the mecha was broken."

Just now, the Zergs swarmed towards Jonah, and Gene was anxious to help Jonah, but he accidentally exposed a loophole and was seized by a Zerg, which rushed into the heat dissipation port of the mecha.

The Zerg was crushed by the defense device inside the mecha as soon as it rushed in, but some of its shell fragments were ejected deep into the mecha-there was the bang just now.

Gene pointed to his right arm: "Everything else is fine, but the right arm of the mecha can no longer move."

The insect tide is still coming in an endless stream. In this case, the consequences of a damaged right arm of the mecha are almost unimaginable.

Gene gritted his teeth and said: "It's okay, I can still continue to fight..."

"Okay!" Ji Cheng said coldly.

He raised his hand and pressed the emergency call button on Gene's mecha, so that the mechanics could receive their request and rush over as soon as possible, and then told Jonah: "Next, you and Gene don't have to kill the enemy, just protect yourself and wait for Loris and Lorenzo to come."

Jonah was still a little confused: "Ah?"

But Gene asked anxiously: "What about you, Anchen?"

"Me?"

Ji Cheng picked up two approaching Zergs with a sword, put away the long shield on the left arm of the mecha, and drew out a heavy sword instead.

"Of course I am responsible for cleaning these bugs."
