Chapter 719 Confrontation with Gatherers and even Herald Harvesters
Except for a few of the Marines who supported the Restoration, most of them actually had a secondary identity of doing hard work for the Intelligence Bureau - the purpose of this is self-evident.
"Is there any action needed to deal with these people?" Ada turned back to the screen and asked Xie Yuan.
"The normal "making friends" strategy is enough. We are not treacherous ministers and traitors. Maintaining complete independence will only make others think that you have something evil in your heart."
Xie Yuan didn't care at all.
"Show them what they want to see...I know, I will try to see if there is anything I can use based on their background."
Ada knew the elegant meaning after hearing the string, and immediately understood how to make the next arrangement.
"Beep! Beep! Beep!" Suddenly, a continuous alarm began to sound throughout the room, resounding throughout the entire ship.
"It came so fast!" Ada couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"We can't tolerate their displeasure," Xie Yuan understood very well. "Since the Herald controlled the Collector's cruiser on the opposite side, after several shellings of each other, he must have seen the part that shocked him - the shield of the Guangfu.
The strength is actually on the same level as Overlord."
"In a sense, He is fighting a 'self' - indeed, He must come and see what the reason is."
Ada immediately deduced the pioneer's idea... or part of it.
But soon Ada had a little concern: "Now that the power of the Pioneer has entered the Guangfu Ship, will it be easier to shut down our zero-element core when it enters the core of the Guangfu Ship? After all, you are also using the Overlord Core.
replica."
"So Koz thought further than me and directly sent a mixed company over to protect the dual-engine area in batches."
Xie Yuan said he felt quite pleased: "With this Space Marine team, the Recovery can already benefit the Invincible Land - and now I can mobilize the mutant troops to launch a counterattack against the Collectors who have broken in."
.”
"What about the Marines?"
"Aren't they the spies of the Star Alliance?" Xie Yuan couldn't hide his gloating tone no matter how calm he tried. "It would be a good intelligence collection to let them understand the Collector's combat effectiveness early."
"Ask for kindness and you will be rewarded!" Ada made a precise and clever description, then picked up the water glass and started ordering soup to serve the guests. "Then you go and do your business. Don't worry about mine. Once an uninvited guest really comes in,
I will make this place completely empty."
"Okay!" Xie Yuan nodded, "Pay attention to the three ghosts. These people are not ordinary people - I suspect they must have some investigation direction."
"I will."
After getting Ada's understanding, Xie Yuan used the teleportation matrix again and left this place.
"Help! Help! The enemy's attack here is very fierce, and we can't stand it any longer!" Once they arrived at a public place, a large number of broadcast distress signals began to wax and wane in Xie Yuan's ears.
"This is Xie Yuan, give me your address!" Xie Yuan answered the communication request impatiently.
Soon Xie Yuan found the location where support was needed - as expected, this was the Marine Corps' station. The mutant troops shouting "Mogwa Pain" would not ask for support so early.
Obviously, the Marines underestimated the difficulty of the Collectors. In the gang-hopping raid just now, the Collectors probably caught them off guard with their fearless charge, resulting in casualties - the stunned Marines were filled with fear.
, directly retreated while calling for support from everywhere.
However, although he despises these marines who like to enjoy themselves in time, Xie Yuan can only rush to block the growing hole - he cannot let a few collectors rush in because of the retreat of the marines.
The assault group formed a merge.
Xie Yuan continued to use the teleportation matrix to reach the site of the incident, and saw the Marines fighting desperately against the swarming collectors.
"Buzz! Buzz! The ship's hull has encountered a gas leak and the air pressure has dropped sharply. Please prepare for isolation immediately. Attention, please prepare for isolation immediately!"
Listening to the siren, Xie Yuan immediately checked the bulkhead that was broken by violence.
In this encounter, Xie Yuan also discovered that the Marines actually caused some considerable damage to the collectors.
The broken corpses of at least dozens of collectors lay scattered on the ground, and there were also more than a dozen corpses of Marines who were also thrown to the ground and had no time to restrain themselves... This was already a relatively serious casualty.
If you want to prevent enemies from coming in continuously, you have to cut off the sources of damage.
So without hesitation, he directly fixed the four position generators he carried around him. This thing can lock and isolate it from the outside world when external attacks are ineffective.
Press the button, and with a "buzz" sound, the position generator forms an isolation force field in the crashed area.
"It has been detected that the sealing has been restored and the gas is being repressurized. Please wait."
Next, Xie Yuan picked up a gun and began to appear behind the collector team chasing the marines, and used several quick-effect bursts to directly hit the heads of the collectors holding heavy weapon particle beams.
Upon discovering that there were enemies behind him, the collector quickly turned around and focused a large amount of firepower on his back, but Xie Yuan, who had a better reaction, had already changed directions and took away the lives of several collectors with the same method of pulling the trigger several times.
Xie Yuan used his position to quickly close the distance with the collectors. Once the distance was enough, he was prepared to use his sword skills to attack the crowd of collectors at close range and achieve an instant kill as much as possible.
However, this was not the first time that the Collector had dealt with Xie Yuan. Soon a Collector suddenly rose into the air, and the sharp-eyed Marines immediately focused their fire on him.
But the Marines soon discovered in despair that it was of no use at all - the collector soon became radiant, and slowly descended with blazing heat... descending like an angel.
"Yuan Xie," Pioneer said, controlling the unfortunate guy, "your struggle is destined to be in vain, but your behavior is as annoying as a mosquito - you stole our technology, do you think you can defeat us?
?」
"Our great cause is unstoppable!!"
"Bang!" Xie Yuan directly used the "Executioner" pistol to shoot the unlucky guy in the head, blowing his head away - this type of blood-sac mercenary group's favorite single-shot and one-hand-held cannon is also a devouring battle.
One of Tuan's favorite weapons now, Xie Yuan also purchased one.
"A lot of nonsense!" Xie Yuan stopped being stingy with bullets and directly picked up the "Revenant" light machine gun he carried and suppressed the collectors with a stormy rate of fire - and at the same time, he did not let the collectors be "possessed" anymore.
.
At the same time, he shouted to the shrunken Marines on the other side: "What are you still doing here? If you don't kill the enemy quickly, you still want to have a sorority party with them!"
The Marines then belatedly raised their guns and joined in the annihilation operation. 15 minutes later, Xie Yuancai stopped pulling the triggers amidst the Marines' shouts of "ceasefire! ceasefire."
Xie Yuan first put away his gun, and then slowly appeared in front of the Marines. At this time, the Marines who were on guard with guns saw that it was the top officer who put away the gun pointed at Xie Yuan, and stood at attention and saluted: "
Sir!"
Xie Yuan also stood at attention and gestured in return: "Captain Curtis has gone downstairs, who among you is in charge now?"
"It's me." The crowd dispersed automatically, and a tall, dark-skinned Marine lieutenant came over, "Wright Goodman, Lieutenant, salute you."
"How are the casualties?" Although he had just decided to teach these soldiers an unforgettable lesson, Xie Yuan still maintained the attitude of a qualified officer who loved his soldiers as his own son.
"Sir, you came from behind. They are all lying there, but there are still a few of us injured to varying degrees."
White Goodman reported to Xie Yuanhui sadly, and asked Xie Yuan at the same time: "What kind of creatures are these? Why did we encounter them."
"Okay, use the orbital elevator to send the wounded to the battleship hospital immediately. The medical officer will take good care of them."
Xie Yuan immediately gave instructions on the first situation, and then reported it to the Marines: "As for the guys you just dealt with, they are collectors - it seems that you have not heard of the human residents of the edge colonies recently.
The incident of disappearing for no reason."
"Wow!" Suddenly there was a lot of discussion in the entire team.
"No, we haven't heard about this." Lieutenant White nodded and looked very shocked. "What's going on? How many colonies have disappeared? Is there a specific list?"
"Sir! My home is the XXX colony. I haven't contacted my family for a week. They..."
"Sir! I..."
I didn’t expect that the hometowns of several people would also appear in the fringe colonies...
"It will take me an hour to explain the whole thing to you, and now I have to take care of the counterattack work of other nodes within an hour - your task now is to clean the battlefield, last hits on the enemy, and at the same time converge
Take the bodies of your comrades... and then stay here."
Interrupting the conversation between these people, Xie Yuan directly issued a new mission and then asked these Marines to execute it.
"Sir, we want to help - they killed our people, we have to fight back!" Lieutenant White was now full of fighting spirit.
"Yes! Kill this ***!" Someone started to respond.
"Now that the beating hurts, you want to fight back?" Xie Yuan couldn't help but sneer in his heart, "Why did you go there so early?"
Of course, Xie Yuan thought so in his heart, but he would not say it on his face. He said to Lieutenant White sincerely: "You have suffered a lot of losses and need to be repaired. Moreover, this is also a gap that the collectors probably want to break through again - hold on
Here, keep in touch with me at the same time to ensure the safety of this place, and you will have done a great job, okay?"
"Yes...Sir, thank you, sir!" Lieutenant White accepted Xie Yuan's order.
"Very good! You all did a good job, and I need you to do better now." Xie Yuan patted White and several angry Marines on the shoulders, and after cheering them on, Xie Yuan
I left and continued to support other nodes.
Except for this small episode of the Marine Corps, the feedback from the forces in other areas is actually good. The mutant forces' mutual cooperation methods may be a little awkward for the XCOM commander to deal with, but for general team cooperation, this is a perfect battle gathering.
.
Besides, now Xie Yuan knows that the actual XCOM commander is an "elder" - which is naturally not comparable to that of a mutant officer.
However, compared to the initial pushback of the Marine Corps, the mutant force was still able to handle it with ease - at least the casualty rate was still within an acceptable range, and some units had already eliminated the enemy in advance, and had enough room to arrange some personnel to follow Xie Yuan
It is formed as a mobile force.
However, the best performing soldiers were the Space Marines guarding the core - they suffered few casualties but gained a lot.
But it also means that the Reaper Harbingers know how to let their Collectors find the true heart of the giant ship.
Therefore, in order to make the core area of the engine foolproof, Xie Yuan still asked the two strongest teams of Space Marines to serve as reserve teams and not move.
It took more than an hour for Xie Yuan to seal all the holes in the giant ship that had been breached. If any of the remaining intruders slipped through the net, they could only have half of the troops repair it and half search it.
, to ensure that the enemy has no way to hide
Then, Xie Yuan, who barely had time to take a breath, immediately teleported back to the command room and looked at Kaiden: "How was it? Did you gain anything?!"
"It was very difficult," Kaiden shook his head with a headache. "Suddenly, the whole battleship seemed... like it came to life. It was very agile and dodged all the bombardments we aimed at - even the salvos.
, and then the backhand was several consecutive high-power shellings - our shield almost broke under the continuous shelling."
"If it had been another dreadnought, I'm sure it would have been shot down long ago."
Caiden felt a lot of pressure: "What's going on? I just felt experienced just now, but now I suddenly feel much more powerful than the clown."
"It's not as simple as being much more powerful." Xie Yuan shook his head and comforted, "You have done a good job. What you don't know is that the battleship on the opposite side
The operator is already a Reaper Herald fighting on his behalf - so your feeling is right, that ship has indeed come back to life."
"What?! Is there such a thing?" Kaiden was also frightened, and his voice even began to grow softer, "Are you telling the truth?!"
"Although it's not a hit, it's not far off!" Xie Yuan didn't dare to vouch for it, but judging from his intuition and the incident of "possession" that just happened, it shouldn't be too far from the truth.
"This is a very bold and dangerous guess." Kaiden looked worried, "I'm afraid Shepard is the only one among everyone who can believe you."
The implication is that even Kaiden himself may not believe this.
"Don't talk about it yet." He also knew that Caiden didn't believe it, but he didn't care if he didn't believe it, so he just looked at him and asked, "How is the situation on the ground operations?"
"Not to mention this!" At this point, Kaiden was also a little disappointed, "The problem here has only been half solved, and the progress there has also stalled. According to Captain Curtis's report, the enemy's counterattack is very fierce.
, and they were unable to launch an onslaught because the colonists were, they said... "locked" in a strange position."
"Alas!" Xie Yuan was also disappointed when he heard this.
But Caiden hasn't finished yet: "The Collectors seem to have a strange kind of swarm. Once they are stung, they will be sealed into a strange positional film - fortunately, the flamethrowers use several high-temperature sprays to form a wall of flames.
This prevented the swarm from digging further - otherwise they wouldn't even have a chance to report to us."
"What should we do now?" Kaiden looked at Xie Yuan after reporting. Now he needs Xie Yuan, as the captain, to give a countermeasure.
"Wait!" Xie Yuan didn't have any good ideas, only stupid ones. "They don't have excellent large-scale transportation equipment. It is estimated that the ship will go down from the orbit to collect the net - we won't let him go down. Look at him.
How long can you wait!"
"Go on with him! I don't believe it anymore. Just a cruiser and a battle cruiser can't kill him!"
