On the outskirts of the city, under the leadership of Mayor Ike's assistant, the army has regrouped. Tens of thousands of soldiers are standing ready. Tanks and fighter jets have entered combat mode, waiting for the first impact of the sandworms.
Above the army, there are several mechas waiting in mid-air. They are the main force in this battle. If the sandworms break through their first line of defense, they will appear to stabilize the battle. If conditions permit, they The sandworms will be killed outside the city and will not be allowed to enter the city and destroy it.
As for the city, most people immediately followed the guards' advice and hid in the nearest shelter when they learned that a monster was heading towards the city. Of course, there were also those who had the ability to leave the city as soon as possible. , are watching this good show in the sky at this time. As for the life and death of those people in the city, what does it have to do with them? As long as it doesn't affect their direct interests, it doesn't matter how many civilians die. Anyway, as long as their assets are still in their hands, there will be a steady stream of labor to do things for them and help them mine. You know, in the current universe , there is no shortage of people at all, especially the poor.
In addition to these two types of people, there are also some people who think that it is humans like themselves who have robbed the living space that originally belonged to the sandworms. Coupled with the extensive mining of Likto star minerals in recent years, the sandworms have lost their food source and have no choice but to They left the underground and came to the surface in order to seek revenge from humans. Their claim is that what the sandworms want is just an apology from humans, so they believe that everyone should take the initiative to stand up against the native creatures of Likto. Make a sincere apology. As long as the sincerity is enough, Sandworm will not do anything to them.
Looking at these mindless protesting crowds on the big screen, Fried looked at everyone in the spacecraft with doubts on his face: "Are you humans so... um... kind?"
"Don't pay attention to these people." Scar patted Freed's tentacles and said earnestly: "Look, it's not just humans. There are many other races in this parade, but humans make up a larger proportion. "
"I'm surprised. They have lived on Likto Planet for so long. Don't they still know what they survived because of?" Mu Mu looked at the big screen and said, "Not to mention this thing. It’s not a bullshit native creature. Even if it is a native creature, don’t they see the danger of this thing? Why should I apologize? I’m really full and have nothing to do, bah.”
"Normally, intelligent creatures will pursue some spiritual satisfaction after meeting their basic life needs. This is probably how these people are satisfied." Lin Lin said with a smile. He knew that there would be such people, a group of people relying on What others feed.
After discussing this group of marchers who were full and had nothing to do for a while, Lin Lin cut the scene back to the battlefield. Instead of looking at a group of useless guys who could only shout, it was better to see how the battle was going.
…
At this time, the sandworms were still some distance away from the defense line, but the battle had already begun.
In the tent behind the line, the commander looked at the huge figure on the horizon and issued an order: "All tanks, rocket battalions, and artillery battalions, attack the target immediately. The bombers in the air should not stop bombing. We will try our best." Keep it outside the lines and don’t let it come to us alive.”
Suddenly, the tanks on the battlefield immediately launched a ground-washing bombing attack on the sandworms in the distance. The rocket battalion and artillery battalion were not far behind, and one shell after another flew towards the sandworms.
Around the sandworm, mushroom clouds appeared one after another, which were missiles dropped by bombers in the sky.
'boom! '
The surface of the sandworm's body exploded, and green juice seeped out from the wound. It fell to the ground and stirred up a burst of black smoke. The sand that came into contact with the juice turned into glass in an instant.
Faced with such a bombing, the sandworm seemed to be hurt, and its speed suddenly increased again. In its mind, as long as it reached the center of the crowd, they would not dare to use this weapon against itself.
Subsequently, the sandworm moved forward at high speed despite the attack of artillery fire. Even if the number of shells hitting it doubled, it still could not slow down its speed. In just two minutes, the insecticide rushed to the front of the position not far away.
Immediately afterwards, the sandworms took advantage of the fact that they no longer dared to use artillery shells, and launched a violent impact, instantly knocking open the first line of defense of the army. Suddenly, a huge gap appeared in the defense line.
"Commander! Most of the members of the 1st and 2nd Regiments lost their ability to fight during the monster's attack just now."
The commander looked at the front line sadly. They were all soldiers they spent a lot of money to train. Each one was priceless, but in this level of battle, they collapsed directly.
"Third and fourth regiments pick up!" The commander closed his eyes and gave the order. As for the mechas in the sky, he did not have enough authority to fight with them, and even if he was given authority, those people would not Will listen to him.
After hearing the order, the soldiers of the third and fourth regiments immediately took up the position of their injured comrades, raised their automatic rifles and fired at the sandworms.
Densely packed bullets poured on the sandworm, and the bullets easily penetrated the sandworm's skin. However, the body of the sandworm was too huge. Even if it was hit by countless bullets, the sandworm would not be affected in any way. Moreover, because it was transformed by the forces to which Kamo belongs, the sandworm has extremely strong recovery ability. It squeezed out the bullets that entered its body in a very short period of time, and at the same time, the wounds healed quickly, so It's like not being hit by a bullet.
However, it cannot be said that their attacks were ineffective. Although they could not cause any substantial damage to the sandworms, they at least succeeded in arousing the sandworms' ferocity.
'Roar! '
The sandworm looked up to the sky and roared. The countless eyes on its head suddenly turned blood red, and its moving speed became faster. Not only did it not take the bullets in its eyes, it also carried the bullets and attacked to break through the second line of defense formed by the army. Any steel bunker is not worth mentioning under the crushing of sandworms. The only effect it has is to leave some insignificant marks on the sandworms, which is caused by the crushing of sandworms.
After breaking into the second line of defense, the sandworm's movements obviously became faster. In just an instant, it devoured dozens of soldiers, and countless soldiers were crushed to death by the sandworm's huge body. The defense was in disarray.
Seeing this scene, the commander looked sad and grabbed the wireless walkie-talkie from the adjutant's hand. After hesitating for a moment, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes and he said word by word: "If the rocket is launched again, it must not enter the city."
"What? Commander, there are many of our soldiers there. If rockets are used, they will also be affected."
"There is no time for us to hesitate. If we lose again, this thing will enter the city, and the damage will be more serious. Moreover, there are still our families and our friends in the city." The commander said seriously. Of course, he also He knew what would happen if he used rockets, but he had no choice. If he wanted to save the city, he had to sacrifice these soldiers. What's more, the mechas in the sky had not made any move until now. It was obvious that they wanted to see the casualties of their soldiers. heavy.
They just want to take action when everyone is desperate!
The commander looked at the mechas in the air with hatred. If looks could kill, those mechas would have exploded tens of millions of times, but it didn't work. The mechas were still suspended in the air, and only the soldiers were being lost. Either swallowed by sandworms, or crushed to death by sandworms.
"Commander, the rockets are ready, please... give the order." The adjutant looked at the commander with tears in his eyes. He wanted to hear the order to cancel the rocket fire from the commander.
The adjutant is not a resident of Liktor Planet. He was just sent here by the alliance. However, although the adjutant does not know the native residents of Liktor Planet, he has watched these soldiers grow up. There is one thing to say. It's impossible to have no feelings. At this moment, the grief in his heart is no less than that of the commander, but he also knows that from a military law perspective, if they retreat, it will be an escape, and they will be taken to a military court after the war to accept Judgment, even if the trial is put aside, these soldiers will not choose to take a step back, because behind them, but where they have been living, everything about them is here.
"Launch." The commander said seriously. At the same time, he turned on his portable computer and contacted Mayor Ike. He said straight to the point: "Mayor, we can't hold it anymore. Tell those guys in the sky. If they don't take action, I will I will truthfully report everything that happened here, including the video of them not participating in the battle, and I will immediately lead my soldiers to withdraw from the battlefield. We can no longer suffer any more losses." 33
Mayor Ike on the other side heard the commander's serious voice and was silent for a while. Mayor Ike said: "I know, I will ask them to take action, but I still hope that you and your soldiers can continue to hold on. Post, don’t let this thing in. You have been fighting it for so long, and you must know what will happen if it enters the city.”
"I know that after it enters the city, it will only have one result. All the buildings will be in ruins, corpses will be everywhere, and blood will flow all over the ground." The commander watched as the rockets exploded around the sandworms, causing damage to the sandworms and also causing damage to the sandworms. After taking away countless injured soldiers who might have had a chance to survive, the commander said in a deep voice to his portable computer: "But that has nothing to do with us. I don't want to see my soldiers die anymore, just for the short time I'm talking to you. In a few seconds, dozens more of the elites we trained left this world."
…
On the other side, a voice rang out from the mecha team: "Brother Blow, it's time for us to take action. So many of their people have died."
"Relax, Ziyu, if we join the war now, how can we look important? Heroes only appear last."
"But……"
"Okay, that's it, I'm the captain, listen to me."
Some people died, but not completely...
