The three major mercenary groups did not let Shepard, Xie Yuan and Elia wait long, and they moved very quickly. Modin and Shepard had just spent two days setting up their defense line when the opponent's vanguard troops suddenly pounced on them.
But even in the past two days, sporadic harassing troops have continued to disrupt Modin's firepower laying. Fortunately, Xili and Jacob took turns throwing explosives to make the harassing troops retreat. Of course, Xie Yuan also asked them to bring back the complete body. He was useful.
what's the function? Of course it's a modified servitor!
For Xie Yuan, who was able to initially pass the craftsmanship course in just a few years, transforming a servitor is as natural and simple as eating and drinking water - especially transforming an enemy's corpse into a fighter servitor, which has no moral pressure and can even Use waste to increase your own combat effectiveness.
Anyone who dares to come here to be cannon fodder is basically a free mercenary with a gun in his pocket and his head in his waistband. They rarely have good quality, and they are basically humans and Batarians...at least the complete corpses brought over by Ciri and Jacob are these guys.
However, this is exactly what Xie Yuan wants. What he wants to do is to first inject nanorobots into their bodies to maintain their physical activity, and then use liquid calcium injections and biological growth agents to increase the muscle strength and bone density of these unlucky humans. ...This also means that Xie Yuan needs to practice with humans first.
After completing the transformation of an ordinary person's corpse into a large old body, part of the emotional perception function of the dead brain was removed, and a signal receiver and processor made of biomass were added to the free space. Accept orders and execute orders.
Then, nerve connection devices and emergency injection fluid delivery tubes were implanted throughout the body, and a life-saving pump was installed in the lower back. Finally, one eye of the corpse was gouged out, and a mechanical prosthetic eye for scanning and auxiliary aiming was implanted. , and at the same time connected to the brain processor - the main body of the servitor is completed.
The servitor is probably ready, so we will dig out some connection points in one of the modified guys' big arms, and use the neural connection device to connect a 1-inch caliber (25.4mm) large-caliber automatic machine carrying a bullet conveyor belt. The live ammunition weapons were connected together - this thing was called a heavy bolter according to Angron, and it was the exclusive technology of the Emperor.
I don’t know what’s so special about this bolter except that the bullets are extremely expensive to make, but Xie Yuan still carried the ammunition box that can hold 300 rounds of explosives on the back of the servitor, and then he also had to insert it into the person’s left arm and heart. Add thick armor to the position to balance the counterweight.
So a gun servitor was born! Xie Yuan created two servitors within eight hours. As for what weapons needed to be loaded after transforming the other corpses into servitors, Xie Yuan also had to take his time.
After connecting the stimulation power supply again, the gun servitor sat up from the stage with a "buzz", "buzz", and then awkwardly stretched, squatted and stood up under the control of Xie Yuan's multi-tool, and finally walked and Setting up a gun and aiming it - can complete the action very smoothly.
Seeing two servitors who were completely different from the previous corpses, even though Shepard, Miranda, Ciri and even Jacob's faces were extremely ugly, they did not refuse firmly, because now they could increase their combat population by one more person. Take the pressure off their defense.
But Shepard strongly urged Xie Yuan: "This is a special situation. I allow you to make this exception, but you can't do this kind of thing again in the future - not even if you are an enemy!"
Shepard was so pedantic on this point that he wanted to laugh - but in the Mass Effect universe, the servitor transformation surgery that Xie Yuan learned was indeed a bit too nakedly cruel - except for Cerberus, or Except for a few KB organizations, it is almost never accepted by mainstream thought and public opinion.
Shepard did ask for it out of consideration for him, and he couldn't refuse this kindness too much - and in terms of human resources, the best candidates for transformation of servitors should be criminals, and human cloning is the best.
However, the opponents did not include Modin. He touched his chin and looked at the finished design with relish: "Hmm! It's very interesting. I seem to be able to tell from this design that the mechanical technician study class you entered, their The idea seems to be to avoid the use of artificial intelligence - they prefer to transform organic creatures into semi-augmented robots to do the most basic, simple and highly repetitive tasks."
"Good vision!" Xie Yuan gave a thumbs up, "This is indeed a biological service provider after abandoning all intelligent technologies."
"What's the point of this?" Miranda didn't agree with this technology. "Aside from showing a kind of pathological cruelty, his combat efficiency may not even be comparable to the Vulcan robot. In fact, I feel sorry for you to learn this technology. It’s funny—a combat-type agent actually learns how to make biological slaves? That means you and we are both friends and colleagues, otherwise if a report is sent to the Citadel, it won’t be a big deal for you.”
"That's why I am a special person for special use!" Xie Yuan shook his head indifferently.
"Well, that's all."
Miranda also shook her head speechlessly. In fact, it was unrealistic to report it - because Cerberus had been following Xie Yuan for many years and vaguely figured out his situation: there was a formal organization around him, and he was somehow And still act like a normal person.
What about being completely free? Haha, that’s half a lunatic. Believe it or not, Xie Yuan, who has nothing to do, will go around looking for trouble for Cerberus?
Without an official, he is light-hearted. Without the staff, who can really control him?
But to everyone's surprise, Modin suddenly asked Xie Yuan to pull another "half-dead" Batarian onto the experimental table: "Are you trying your technique on this experimental subject? I also want to learn from it. May I?"
"Ah!" Everyone looked at Modin in confusion. What was the use of such backward and cruel technology?
But Modin still insisted on learning new techniques - not to mention there is a lot of material here, which is a good opportunity for internship.
"Of course... no problem!" Xie Yuan is not like the technical priests of the Mechanicum, he is very open to most technologies.
In two days, they only added 8 new servitors - 5 humans and 3 Batarians. Among them, Modin made a Batarian servitor and a human servitor - but Xie Yuan could not Don't be surprised at Old Modin's extraordinary talent - the finished product is actually better than the careful work of a sage.
At the first moment of the fighting, the first ones to rush up were batches of stragglers - the so-called free mercenaries with almost no organization.
It seems that no one reminded these fools of what a den this place is—perhaps they deliberately did not remind them, or they were deceived by the false fantasy of becoming famous and rushed into the fire zone regardless.
These free mercenaries don't have much coordination, nor do they have any powerful equipment. Even their combat skills are only a little better than those of laymen. At most, they can only rely on the strength of their numbers to barely rush into two firepower nets, and then they will be destroyed. The fire from all four sides was cleared.
No one will collect their bodies, at least not now, but unfortunately, whether they were coerced or lucky, the next batch of cannon fodder sent to death was still released by the three major mercenary groups.
Shepard was lying on the high ground of a building outside the clinic. As a sniper and frontline command post, Xie Yuan was afraid that something might happen to him if he was left alone, so he asked Xili to follow him as an observer and let her take a look. The skills of this female ghost give you a taste of the shooting skills of combat elites.
But Shepard has been observing the battlefield calmly, and from time to time puts his analysis on the public channel based on the intelligence he and Ciri observed: "Be careful, the other side is using the human sea tactic to force us to expose all our firepower points..."
"Don't worry! They will only know that the most important thing in front of them is a gun."
Xie Yuanzai swore in the team channel: "Because this is the only thing they saw before they died."
This is also true. Xie Yuan is neither wearing power armor nor actively controlling the servitor at this time. He is holding a pickaxe assault rifle and accurately naming every unlucky person who appears in his sight.
The pickaxe semi-automatic assault rifle itself has the shooting accuracy of a precision marksman rifle, and this is fully utilized in Xie Yuan's hands - every time a shot is fired, one person will die from the bullet in the eyebrow.
Such a fast clearing speed brings a terrifying effect to these free mercenaries - the enemy can always hit themselves before they shoot.
So within a short while, the morale of the amateur mercenaries was instantly shattered and they began to flee. Xie Yuan used a gun to drive away hundreds of them, one against ten...
This wave of free mercenaries were frightened out of their wits, and the remaining ones did not dare to rush forward as cannon fodder anymore, so they turned around and left. Although the leaders of the three major mercenary groups are unhappy, they cannot force themselves to drink water, otherwise it will be difficult to recruit temporary workers in the future.
In fact, the leaders of the three parties also had heavy expressions on their faces. They were indeed an enemy that even the Lord of Midnight found difficult - with Mordin's terrifying fire defense, this strange precision shooter killed every cannon fodder that broke into the second line of defense without landing. ——Even every one of them is a bullet between the eyebrows!
This is indeed not easy to deal with!
Tarak from Qingyang remained silent for a few seconds with a gloomy face, and then comforted the other leaders: "Well, I didn't expect them to be of any use...but they didn't even touch the second line of defense, so I couldn't help it. If you don't say cannon fodder, it's just cannon fodder. Fortunately, it doesn't cost a lot..."
Whether they are mercenaries who have terminated their contracts and escaped or those who unfortunately died in battle, they are not paid. Pensions do not exist in Omega.
"Such an extraordinary mercenary will definitely have a lot of enemies. As long as we get his body or head, we can make back our money." Gom, the leader of the blood bag, adheres to the character of their race. In addition to adrenaline and muscles in his head, , and still has the cunningness when facing a battle, "Then, it's time for us to get started..."
Jarosh, the head of Salarian in Eclipse, also nodded in agreement: "Okay, then according to the established plan, we will use mechas and individual sheep to attack the front, blood bags will surround the flanks to find weak points to break in, Qingyang is preparing to airborne... They There are only a few people. We can’t handle a real big fight!”
Sure enough, after the elites of the three major mercenary groups began to attack in an orderly and coordinated manner according to their offensive rhythm, the defensive pressure on the clinic side suddenly increased greatly.
Under the cover of the mecha, Tian Eclipse's snipers used the powerful Widow sniper rifle to suppress the newly exposed hidden firepower point from a long distance, leaving many gaps in the defense line. The distance gap even made Xie Yuan have to carry three weapons with him if he took the initiative. Be very careful - otherwise it's extremely easy to get caught in the mecha's fire.
"Shepard!" Xie Yuan immediately called the commander on the channel.
"Roger that!" At this moment, Shepard was like a poisonous snake showing its fangs, quickly and accurately using the Mantis semi-automatic sniper rifle to name the sniper team on the opposite side.
Shepard is not a ghost agent who lives up to his reputation, and his reflexes are also extremely good - when the opponent's sniper reacts and aims upward. In the scope, he could just see his own cross star pointed at a black muzzle, and then his eye was shot through the scope... So, the two sides returned to the normal back-and-forth attack and defense mode.
However, as the commander of the town, Modin made a dissatisfied comment on the channel: "Shepard, your sniper results just now are very beautiful, but didn't we agree to show weakness to the enemy?
Too beautiful kill results are not conducive to subsequent defensive strategies. "
"Bang!" After Shepard shot one of the squad leaders who started to retreat with his last shot, he replied, "The disadvantage is disadvantage, but proper deterrence can make the enemy spend more energy to be wary of unknown directions - this can make The faster the enemy's patience is exhausted...Okay, I understand, I will pay attention to it next time..."
Then he patted Xili on the shoulder and pointed behind him: "Let's go, the sniper operation is to shoot and change places!
Now that the frontal sheep attack has suffered some setbacks, I won't try my luck again. I estimate that if I stay here any longer, I will either be focused on the fire or left alone to waste manpower. If I predict based on my experience, the troops on the other side will outflank them. It’s time to arrive…”
Xili was stunned when she heard this, and immediately asked like a curious baby: "How do you know this is a sheep attack and there is an outflank on the other side?"
"Every member of the Star Alliance Marine Corps has had a lot of dealings with pirates and mercenaries a few years ago." Shepard smiled, "...know more or less about their tactical level and personality preferences. .”
