Chapter 207 Perseverance
With no worries anymore, John and the others summoned their respective Barron light armors from the electronic communicator.
Now that they have exhausted their fighting spirit power, if they want to escape from the pursuit of the insect swarm, the maneuverability of Barron's light armor is still extremely effective.
Soon, a group of war spirit warriors quickly put on their Barron light armor, and under the leadership of their respective leaders, evacuated directly towards the second echelon.
At this time, most of the entire first echelon of defense lines had been eaten away by the insect swarm, with less than 30% of the hundreds of thousands of defense line soldiers remaining at this time.
Fortunately, the commander had given the order in advance for them to evacuate in an orderly manner toward the second echelon.
After John and the others pushed and flew on the ground for 2 minutes, they finally saw the belated second echelon.
The Warhammer troops that had just finished dealing with the flying insect swarms were already rushing towards the first echelon with all their strength.
Every second they delay, at least hundreds of soldiers will be killed by the swarm of insects!
"Hey! Leo, look, isn't that the same Colonel Berwick from back then?" John glanced and suddenly saw a very familiar figure.
Leo asked and looked, and sure enough! Colonel Berwick, who had led the Warhammer brigade to support in Punk Fortress, was also with the second echelon of Warhammer troops at this time.
Thanks to John's sharp eyesight, he could still keenly spot Colonel Berwick among the hundreds of thousands of Warhammer troops.
Perhaps it was because John and Leo suddenly stopped in the evacuating team at this time, which seemed too obvious and attracted the attention of Colonel Berwick who was not far away.
Colonel Berwick turned his head and looked. First he felt that John and Leo looked familiar, and then his eyes glanced at the Sword and Shield logo on John and Leo.
Soon, Colonel Berwick finally recalled, weren't these two boys the two war spirit warriors who performed very well when they cleared out the hive in Punk Fortress?
From a distance, Colonel Berwick nodded at the two of them, and then shouted: "Aren't there three of you? How come I see two of you here?"
John chuckled and shouted back loudly: "There is someone who is not here temporarily and will come over here!"
Colonel Berwick nodded. Although he still wanted to communicate with John and the others more, but the mission was urgent now, he could only point his finger in the direction of the first echelon, said hello and left quickly.
"Leo, do you think we should go to Colonel Berwick and apply to be transferred to the Warhammer Troops afterwards?" John said with some yearning as he looked at this large group of extremely impressive Warhammer Troops.
Leo pondered, "It's not impossible... After all, Colonel Berwick once expressed his wish for us to join the Warhammer Force..."
"What's wrong? Why do you suddenly want to join the Warhammer Army? Are you uncomfortable in War Spirit Team 5?" Leo said with a smile.
John chuckled, shook his head and said: "It's not uncomfortable to stay in War Spirit Team 5, but every time War Spirit Team 5 performs tasks with the large army, although it is also extremely dangerous, in the final analysis, it is still not exciting enough.
."
"If we want to achieve faster and greater improvement, we might as well directly join an elite special team like the Warhammer Force... I believe that the missions they perform are definitely more difficult and dangerous than the War Spirit Team 5."
The reason why John wants to live such a life is that for the War Spirit Warrior, the more fierce and tyrannical the team is, the faster it can promote the growth of its own strength.
Fighting is always the shortcut to the growth of a warrior warrior.
"So that's what you think. I don't have any objections... I believe Karl doesn't have any objections either. The problem is,
Sophia and Bai Ling are two people."
"What? Of course, wherever you go, we will go with you! Right, Sister Bai Ling!"
Sophia's voice suddenly sounded at this moment. John and Leo turned their heads and looked over. They didn't know when they had been standing beside her.
Leo looked at Bai Ling, who had been smiling, and said with some worry: "Are you two really sure you want to go to Warhammer together? The difficulty of the tasks performed there has increased a hundred times."
"It doesn't matter, we are also war spirit warriors who need to fight to get promoted. We can't watch the three of you continue to be promoted while the two of us stay in the same place!"
Bai Ling looked at Leo with twinkling eyes and directly expressed his thoughts.
Listening to Bai Ling's words, Leo felt warm in his heart. A medical war spirit warrior like Bai Ling actually didn't have a strong need for promotion.
The reason why she wanted to join the Warhammer Force with Leo and the others was actually just to be able to be with Leo.
Even if the road ahead is one where killing and crisis coexist...
With a touching smile, Leo patted Bai Ling's hair and said dotingly: "Then let's make the decision. I believe Karl won't have the right to refuse Sophia's decision!"
Sophie immediately smiled playfully, "Of course, it's my decision, but Karl always has to listen to me!"
"What are you guys doing here? The insect swarm has already come up!" Vice Captain Qingshan, who was in charge of the rear, came to the four of them at this moment.
Leo and the others turned around and saw that, sure enough, within a distance of only two thousand meters, the insect swarm was already officially engaged in battle with the Warhammer troops.
The first echelon was originally in a state of defeat. After receiving support from the Warhammer troops, the remaining members were finally able to quickly adjust their formation and re-establish a new line of defense.
Following Vice Captain Qingshan, Leo and the other four also came to the area where the second echelon was originally responsible for garrisoning.
In this area, there are countless corpses of slain flying insects, piled up densely and chaotically.
A group of war spirit warriors avoided this area with some disgust, and each found an area to start repairing and waiting.
"Huh, fortunately, in addition to ordinary machine gun infantry, we also have the powerful combat force of Warhammer troops!" John wiped the sweat on his forehead with some fear and said with some emotion.
Leo stood aside, constantly looking at the current first echelon of defense line.
After the addition of the Warhammer troops, the first echelon, which suffered a collapse, finally successfully stabilized its formation and once again established a strong line of defense.
Compared with the firepower of ordinary soldiers, the firepower of Warhammer troops has been directly upgraded by several levels.
Not only does it hold the enhanced Carlin machine gun, but even when the insect swarm approaches, it can also control the Versailles armor, using two high-frequency vibrating blades to completely chop the enemy into pieces.
Not to mention that there are many ghost troop soldiers mixed in among the Warhammer troops. These ghost agents hold a large-caliber sniper rifle in their hands.
Every time you shoot, the bullets with huge lethality will continue to sprint towards the insect swarm behind even after penetrating the target in front.
Usually every bullet fired will successfully kill at least 5 to 6 bugs.
Such a terrible killing efficiency, under the current scale of the insect swarm, is still only a drop in the bucket and cannot have too obvious effect.
And the most important thing is that the dozens of tunnel worms that emerged from the earth's surface are constantly spewing out various swarms of insects.
The size of the insect swarm is already boundless, and now with the addition of these dozens of tunnel worms, the pressure on the entire defense line will increase with every second.
several times.
"No...if we don't deal with those dozens of Nydus Worms, I'm afraid this swarm will really consume us until we run out of ammunition and food, and we won't stop!"
Leo said with some worry, and subconsciously looked back, but the Thunder Tank Group had stopped shooting at some point!
"Captain! What happened to those Thunder Tanks? Why did they stop attacking at this time? Could it be that they were completely damaged by the attack of the flying insect swarm just now?"
Hearing Leo's inquiry, Captain Ze Xi, who was also resting on the side, rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "What are you so excited about? Can you calm down a little bit?"
After a pause, Captain Ze Xi continued: "Those Thunder tanks are not broken, but they are cooling down the barrels. After all, they have been firing continuously for almost 3 hours. Even if the barrels are made of iron, if they continue like this
If you keep shooting, it's not far from being scrapped."
After hearing this, Leo felt relieved. He didn't know what was going on, but he was always uneasy on this battlefield and his mood became extremely irritable.
He always felt that in the ancient city of Aesop, there seemed to be more killer weapons hidden by the insect swarm, and they were also extremely tricky...
However, as long as the Thunder Tank recovers and can deal with the dozens of Nydus Worms immediately, the pressure on the Warhammer troops will be reduced by at least 60%!
After all, the Zerg that broke out from the ancient city of Aesop were only some of the most basic Zerg in terms of species.
Although they are numerous in number, their power is slightly lacking.
But the swarms of insects spewed out by these tunnel worms are not simple at all! Those insects with extremely terrifying combat capabilities are basically spit out by the tunnel worms.
If these tunnel worms cannot be eliminated, the Sword and Shield Alliance may lose this battle completely!
With the Warhammer troops having completely taken over the first echelon of defense, the entire situation, which was on the verge of collapse, finally stabilized again.
But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this mutual confrontation is only temporary. Once more powerful reinforcements appear on the insect swarm, or there is a large-scale loss of weapons and equipment on the Sword and Shield Alliance, the entire situation will happen instantly.
reverse.
"Hurry up and restore your fighting spirit! Stop thinking nonsense! Otherwise, you will just watch this battle fail!" Captain Ze Xi shouted from the side.
Including Leo, all the war spirit warriors who have now retreated to the second echelon are anxious in their hearts as they look at the fierce battle on the first echelon's defense line in the distance.
"By the way, Sophia, did Karl say where he has been?" Seeing that the battle was gradually getting more intense, John suddenly thought of Karl who was rushing here.
"If Karl's Starry Fire Phoenix is here, at least it can create a gap in an instant... That guy's kind of flame is simply a perverted existence!"
Sophia was stunned when she heard this and looked down at the electronic communicator on her wrist. Because she had been participating in the battle at the front line, she did not pay attention to whether there was any information from Karl.
Now after clicking on the electronic communicator, Sophia saw that in the electronic communicator, it turned out that Karl had already sent her a message.
When she clicked on it, it was Carl who told Sophia the way, time and place of his departure. It was estimated that he would be able to successfully reach the battlefield of the ancient city of Aesop in about one and a half days.
After hearing Sofia's news, both Leo and John fell into deep thought.
Chapter completed!
