The infected took advantage of their high-end combat capabilities to form a digging team and started digging underground caves at a frantic speed.
It caused huge trouble to the engineering construction of the Tiandou Empire. The shield machine used for underground engineering operations was destroyed 11 times in a row. Even with the large number of spare parts stored by the empire, it could not be repaired in a short time.
Explosions were often heard in the military camp. Many soldiers were sent to the sky by violent explosions coming from the ground while they were sleeping in the middle of the night.
More often, the infected emerge from the ground to launch a surprise attack. At the same time, they cover more infected people and take this opportunity to break out from the underground.
They knew very well that even if they could win a head-on battle once or twice, they would not be able to win forever against an empire with a strong foundation. The key to their plan was to spread more infected people to every corner of the empire.
.
It is easy to deal with infected people who are gathered together, but it is another matter if they are scattered across the country.
The imperial troops stationed here were harassed one after another and were exhausted. Many troops had to order their soldiers to stay awake at night.
There is nothing that can be done about it. The individual combat effectiveness of the infected is too strong. If you encounter a sudden attack and are not wearing armor, you will not have time to change your armor and you will be killed immediately.
Even if most soldiers have practiced hand-to-hand combat and firearms shooting, without wearing power armor, they are no match for those with abnormal physical fitness and even more abnormal energy in their bodies.
But such an order will undoubtedly make the soldiers more tired. This era of not taking off the armor at night is different from the ancient times. In ancient times, sleeping without taking off the armor would be uncomfortable at best. If you want to sleep, you can still sleep.
But wearing power armor is another matter. This thing is designed for combat, so most of them don't have the function of lying down at all. This word is basically useless on the battlefield. The designer drank nuclear weapons.
Radiated wastewater is designed with this function.
Armor produced on the assembly line cannot be temporarily modified on the battlefield. Therefore, if most soldiers want to wear power armor overnight, they have to find a way to fall asleep standing up.
Even on earth, this kind of high-end skill can only be mastered by a few scumbags who are often punished to stand. Not to mention that the Tiandou Empire does not have so many years of compulsory education. Wearing armor, you can't sleep at night at all. Even if you practice for a long time,
I also suffered from soreness in the waist and back pain. After several days in a row, I felt paralyzed.
Fortunately, the reinforcements finally arrived, and the 400,000 Vast Sea Xuanqi army was stationed and immediately began to strengthen the surface of the military camp.
In order to save energy, the shields of most legions are not spherical, but inverted bowl-shaped. The edge of the shield is about ten to twenty meters deep underground. This design is basically sufficient on the battlefield. But in
The enemy dug holes and made a surprise attack, but suffered heavy losses.
Fortunately, the Vast Sea Profound Qi Legion is almighty. After they arrived, they immediately used the Vast Sea Profound Qi to strengthen the ground. The reinforced ground was as hard as steel and more than ten meters thick. It was difficult to cut even with professional equipment.
The most important thing is that when this soil layer is destroyed, the entire army can sense the direction of the destruction. This makes a surprise attack impossible.
Before the infected penetrated this layer of ground, the army had successfully assembled. After being ambushed twice in a row, the infected also realized the problem and gave up this meaningless sneak attack.
The Vast Sea Xuanqi Legion is like a sea god needle. As long as they reach the Imperial Army, they are invincible. Even if several demigods from the Star Luo Empire join forces, they cannot defeat this powerful army.
After suppressing the sneak attacks of the infected, the empire also began to fight back. The vast sea of mysterious energy rose into the sky and turned into golden yellow, dyeing the entire sky.
Complex mechanical structures were formed bit by bit in the clouds. The infected people in the underground city saw the scene in the sky through the monitoring screen. They all showed uneasy expressions.
"All personnel will deploy defensive positions to maximize power." Among the knowledge left by Cheng Ying, there is content related to coordinated defense. The overall structure of the underground base is to facilitate the use of this giant formation.
As the broadcast reverberated in the dungeon, everyone immediately returned to their dormitories. Those who were unable to make it in time immediately rushed to the formation pavilion on the roadside, held the handle there, and poured the power from their bodies into it.
Strong soul power fluctuations connected the entire underground city as a whole. You can feel the strong energy fluctuations coming from the ground anywhere on the surface. Purple light visible to the naked eye blooms from the ground.
The complex parts in the sky are spliced together one by one to form a huge ring. Frightening high energy condenses in the center of the ring and may explode at any time.
Since the beginning of the war, the most explosive collision is about to begin.
The golden high-energy light ball fluctuated erratically and seemed to be reaching its limit soon. At the moment when it was almost suppressed, a bright golden light fell from the sky. It hit the center of Tianjing City fiercely and penetrated the soil on the surface.
All the soil within a radius of several miles evaporated, revealing the dungeon itself underneath, glowing with intense purple light.
The light beam slammed down on it, making a strange sound like ringing a bell. Those who were closer would even be stunned directly.
The surging energy torrent and the shock wave of the nuclear explosion were even more terrifying. Wherever it passed, not a single blade of grass grew, and everything tangible was turned into ashes.
The shock wave spread until it reached the ring of city walls before stopping. Tianjing City, which still had many surface buildings on New Year's Day, was completely turned into a desert under this cannon, with lavender sand everywhere. The desert you mentioned
It looks very strange from a distance.
But at the very center of the explosion, the underground city was still emitting a crystal purple light. On the surface, it seemed that the two sides were indeed deadlocked.
But from a strategic point of view, the infected actually won. Just like the contradictory story, there are only two results, one is piercing, the other is not piercing. After the collision, neither the spear nor the shield is lost.
Damage means there is no piercing, the shield wins.
But as the saying goes, if you defend for a long time, you will lose. If you keep defending, you only need to make one mistake, and the Tiandou army can win this battle. Therefore, under the defense, the first thing the infected did immediately after this terrorist attack was
The thing was not to rest, but to take advantage of the enemy's consumption of a lot of energy to send troops to counterattack. The underground city behind the surface was exposed, and several exits were opened. A large number of infected people wearing simple soul-guiding armors emerged from the underground city.
