Chapter 495
David stood in front of the headquarters of the third front line base, which was already devastated, and some Zergs with black bodies were gnawing on the alloy of the base headquarters.
These black Zergs, like big ants, are all "gold-eating ants", a first-level Zerg that specializes in ores and various metals. Its combat effectiveness is not strong, but it is one of the most annoying Zergs on the war stars.
Because of the characteristic of "gold-eating ants", after each war, as long as the Federation loses its position, the Zerg will send a large number of "gold-eating ants" to destroy the defense facilities.
The "gold-eating ants" are first-level Zergs and are extremely easy to produce, so the Zergs do not care about the death of the "gold-eating ants".
The meaning of survival of the "Gold Eating Ant" is to destroy the enemy's defense facilities as fast as possible. No matter how strong the alloy is, it cannot resist the digestive system specially evolved for metals of the "Gold Eating Ant".
David saw a "gold-eating ant" spit out a ball of liquid from his mouth. The liquid kept tumbling on the alloy. Then the "gold-eating ant" bit it, and the extremely hard alloy was easily bitten and swallowed into his stomach by the "gold-eating ant".
Just five seconds later, the "Gold Eating Ant" spit out a ball of liquid again and bite off a piece of alloy again.
During this process, the "gold-eating ants" didn't even look at the federal soldiers who appeared around them. They only knew how to eat.
"Eliminate all 'gold ants'!" Captain McCorley ordered loudly.
Captain McCorley was transferred to the Third Front Base, and he was accompanied by a thousand veterans, five thousand new soldiers, and two extraordinary accompanying soldiers sent by the military headquarters. This was the first group of troops sent by the Federation to recover the Third Front Base.
David was not transferred to the third front base, he was just sent to assist because of his powerful combat power and good relationship with the God-owned Great World.
There are six knights next to David, who are all support knight teams sent by the God-God World to cooperate in retrieving the Third Front Base.
The six knights respected David very much. Of course, in David's opinion, they respected not him, but the "sharp and heavy axe" on his back and a small badge on his chest.
There are flying eagle patterns on the ‘Sharp Heavy Axe’ and badges, which is why the six knights respect David.
One thousand veterans of the armored soldiers were disrupted and divided into five thousand new soldiers, with six soldiers as a group, and one thousand soldiers in one area and five.
They cooperated with each other to start cleaning up the "gold-eating ants". During this process, David discovered that a spear with a little third-grade material was indeed very powerful.
Because the shell of the 'Gold Eater' is edible for metal all year round, its defense is no less than that of ordinary second-level Zergs. Armored soldiers holding second-level weapons need at least two strikes to kill a 'Gold Eater'.
However, the armored soldiers who use spears can easily pierce the shell of the "gold-eating ant" and give the "gold-eating ant" fatal damage.
During the cleaning process of the soldiers, neither the two extraordinary and the six knights intervened. These were not their targets, and it was also an opportunity for recruits to train.
"Ltd. Col. David, you are the fastest-promoted officer I have ever met!" Nathaniel Chaofan said to David with a smile.
David is still very famous in War Stars, and it is normal for Nathaniel to know David's situation.
However, David wore the rank of lieutenant colonel today, which surprised Nathaniel. It only took David a few days to join the army, so he was promoted to the next level.
You should know that it is very difficult to promote a school-level officer. Each level of promotion requires qualifications. Of course, if the qualifications are not enough, it requires sufficient military merits. David used a lot of military merits to force the military headquarters to promote his rank.
At the Military Headquarters summary meeting on the Zerg Raid, David's name was the first among the meritorious reward personnel calculated by the Military Headquarters' intelligent system, and listed two awards for the "National Sir" medal and the promotion of military rank.
The issuance of the "National Sir" medal was still the same as before, and was asked by many generals to delay the issuance, but the promotion of military rank was irresistible.
David's military achievements are too obvious. On the premise of facing a full-scale war between the Zergs, once the military headquarters has no indication of David's military achievements, it will have a great bad impact.
This is also what the military headquarters does not want to see, and it is also the reason why many generals dare not stop it.
Otherwise, with David's qualifications that he had just entered the army, it would be impossible for him to be promoted so early.
Although General Adams was a good friend to David's father Hans, he could not give David much help on the "National Sir" medal. However, he greatly supported David in the issue of promotion to the rank.
"General Nathaniel, you have been awarded!" David replied with a smile.
Nathaniel Chaofan wanted David to stay at the third front base, but he did not say it because he knew that Babington Chaofan of the fourth front base would never let David go.
Before, David had just been summoned into the army, Babington made every effort to use his relationship to drive David away.
At that time, although many extraordinary people knew David's fame, they did not pay much attention to it. However, after David entered the army, everyone saw David's strength, and it was a pity that it was too late to start.
With David's strength now, Babington's extraordinary ability is even more impossible for him to let David go.
"Huh!" David exclaimed lightly, and Shadow Assistant kept watching the surroundings in the sky, which was as high as a hundred meters in the sky, making Shadow Assistant's vision wider, which also made David feel safer.
But David felt a trace of abnormality appearing underground. If he had not used "underground stealth" frequently and had some strong sense of the changes in the earth, he would not have noticed this abnormality.
Without any hesitation, the shadow servant in the sky appeared beside him as if he was moving in an instant, and then rushed into the ground again.
In the past, the ability of the Shadow Suit's quick recall from a distance was not significant, but as the Shadow Suit could leave David a hundred meters away, this recall ability became particularly useful.
The shadow servant entered the ground and soon saw a huge figure underground. The figure was moving like a flying one, and the target was the two extraordinary figures above.
"It's the 'ground beetle'!" David immediately recognized the moving figure.
The "Ground-Drilling Beetle" is an extremely troublesome third-level Zerg. It is not top among the third-level Zerg in terms of defense, attack power and speed, but its special abilities are the most difficult to kill among the third-level Zerg.
Very similar to the "underground stealth" owned by David, the "ground beetle" can act freely underground, and because the earth can cover the breath of the "ground beetle" to the greatest extent possible, it makes it particularly difficult to discover the "ground beetle".
The "ground-boring beetle" rarely stays on the ground for a long time. It will only leave the ground at the moment of attack, and then return to the ground regardless of whether the attack is successful or not.
It is the habit of the "ground beetle" that makes it extremely difficult to kill.
As for why the "Dragon Beetle" targeted two extraordinary people, this is easy to understand. Although those soldiers have a large number, their aura is much lower than those who are extraordinary and knights.
The first attack of the ‘Ground Beetle’ is the most certain, so when it comes to the first attack, you naturally need to find the most valuable target.
As for choosing two extraordinary people among the extraordinary and the knights, it is because the six knights have always maintained the same battle formation. Although they are just standing there on horseback, the six knights are a whole. As long as they attack them, they will trigger the reaction of the knight's battle formation.
The two extraordinary people obviously did not expect an attack here. There were six thousand armored soldiers, six knights, and David, the extremely powerful "sniper master", so there was no need to worry about safety.
David did not remind the two extraordinary people that he was just a peak armorer. Neither the two extraordinary people nor the six knights found the "earth-drilling beetle" underground, but he could find that it was hard to say clearly.
In addition, only when the "Ground Beetle" leaves the ground can we attack the "Ground Beetle". David has no psychological burden at all with two extraordinary people who are not familiar with each other.
"Lt. Col. David, is there any problem?" Nathaniel Chaofan couldn't help asking when he heard David exclaiming.
"It's nothing, I just didn't expect the headquarters of the Third Front Base to be destroyed so seriously!" David said casually.
"There are all rebuilt here, these hateful 'gold-eating ants'!" Nathaniel Chaofan said.
In the future, Nathaniel Chaofan and Bartholomew Chaofan will stay here, which is their residence. The damage to the base headquarters in front of them is very serious and needs to be demolished and rebuilt, which makes them have to wait for several days.
"It's a pity that these 'gold-eating ants' do not produce any materials. Otherwise, so many first-level Zergs could produce some resources!" David moved two steps to the two extraordinary positions and said helplessly.
The "Gold Eating Ant" also has a first-level fortified meat, but this level fortified meat is very hard.
If it is another planet, the first-level fortified meat with poor hardness and taste are still eaten by people, but this is a war star, and the first-level Zerg can be seen everywhere, and the first-level fortified meat is a daily supply for the army.
Therefore, the first-level fortified meat on the body of the "Gold Eating Ant" is completely ignored, and no one collects it.
The only useful thing about the "Gold Eating Ant" is its black shell. Due to the consumption of various metals, the shell of the "Gold Eating Ant" is particularly strong.
However, because the "gold-eating ant" makes the shell have different characteristics by eating metal, this makes the shell of each "gold-eating ant" different characteristics.
For the materials on the first-class Zerg, the military will not spend a lot of money to classify them.
Therefore, the "gold-eating ant" has become one of the rare valueless first-level Zergs. Of course, this valueless refers to the battle stars.
David said, and the two steps he moved came to the two extraordinary people and stood on the side of the attack position of the "Ground Beetle" underground.
With the shadow servant under the ground surveillance, David could clearly watch every action of the "Ground Beetle".
Just as Nathaniel Chaofan was about to speak, a crack suddenly appeared on the ground, and then a powerful suction force was generated, and Nathaniel Chaofan was about to suck it into it.
All this happened so quickly that Nathaniel was unprepared for no reason.
At this moment, David pulled Nathaniel Chaofan with one hand, pulled him aside, and took off the "sharp heavy axe" from behind with the other hand, relying on the connection of the spiritual line, he swung an axe towards the crack.
Before swinging this axe, David had already activated the "extreme speed", "physical strength", "power shock", "power enhancement" and "overlapping of power". He made all preparations for this blow.
When he was taking out the axe, he also used his spirit to activate the "sharp" effect of the "sharp and heavy axe".
The attack method of the "Ground-Drive Beetle" is very strange. This time it did not even leave the ground, and directly used its control over the earth to open a crack under Nathaniel's extraordinary body.
Then, with powerful suction, Nathaniel fell into the crack without preparation, and then the cracks merged instantly, blocking Nathaniel's extraordinary man in the earth.
At this time, the "Ground Beetle" can turn this land into a strong steel, making Nathaniel supernatural inactive for a while, but the "Ground Beetle" underground can easily attack Nathaniel supernatural.
This "ground-boring beetle" is very smart, but it did not expect its attack process, but was monitored by David throughout the whole process.
The heavy axe that David swung, as the spiritual line accelerated, slashed heavily towards the cracks on the ground.
The "Ground Beetle" instinctively wanted to close the crack, but could not stop the "Sharp Heavy Axe" from chopping downward. The "Sharp Heavy Axe" split the soil blocking the front. The "Sharp Heavy Axe" with a level 4-level "Sharp" effect within two seconds. These soils could not have the blocking effect at all.
In order to attack Nathaniel's extraordinary position as soon as possible, the "Ground-Drive Beetle" is less than half a meter away from the ground. Once Nathaniel's extraordinary falls into this position, it will be attacked.
Now this distance has become the most failure of the "Ground Beetle". The "Sharp Heavy Axe" splits the soil blocking the front, and suddenly there is a blank space in front of it.
The soil around the 'Ground Beetle' is automatically separated from the 'Ground Beetle'. At this time, the 'Sharp Heavy Axe' is slashed into it, and then it hits the target of the spiritual line.
The spiritual line guides the head of the "Ground Beetle". Because Nathaniel was preparing to attack the crack, the head of the "Ground Beetle" was raised, giving David the best attack position.
The "Sharp Heavy Axe" slashes from the front of the head of the "Ground-Drilling Beetle", cuts the skin and skull, cuts into the brain, and then passes through the brain and slashes from the back of the brain.
This instant attack made the "Ground Beetle" lose its vitality. The "Ground Beetle" without any powerful defense means cannot resist the fourth-level "sharp" and its head is divided into two.
It was not until this time that Nathaniel Chaofan realized.
