Rick Kidd stretched out his right hand and clenched the huge metal glove of the power armor into a fist.
After fighting against the zerg for such a long time, even the most ordinary soldiers know that there is a zerg creature called the Cerebrate deep in the main hive that controls these bloodthirsty and furious monsters on the battlefield.
Once a Cerebrate is completely killed and prevented from resurrecting, a large number of the Zerg in its population will move towards final destruction in an uncontrollable rage.
"This is not enough." Phoenix's voice sounded like a bell: "We have gone deep into the hinterland of the insect nest, and we have never been so close to the trembling brainworms hiding in the nest."
Phoenix is a unique commander. He always stands on the front line with his Templars at all times. When Phoenix was a Templar, he was the first to charge and jump into the enemy's formation.
one.
"Only if we continue to move forward and force the Cerebrates to focus more on commanding the Zerg ahead, will Zeratul and his Dark Templar have more chances to kill the Cerebrates."
If it were just the Dark Templar force of about a hundred people that Zeratul led in the past, then their success rate in assassinating the Cerebrates would not be enough. You can gather more Dark Templar and even elite warriors after returning to Sagurath.
After the formation of the Shadow Guard, hundreds of thousands of Dark Templar warriors and Shadow Masters were enough to make the Overlord itself feel threatened.
When a large group of Dark Templar warriors appeared in the shadows, no matter what, it could hardly be called an ordinary assassination.
Zeratul's Dark Templar do not care about the cost. No matter how much sacrifice they have to make, as long as they can kill the Cerebrates, it will be worth it to them and the coalition forces.
The Dark Templar have very different customs from their relatives in Aiur, and have an incomprehensible respect for death. In the eyes of the Dark Templar, the closer to death, the closer to the cold void, and
Returning to the Void is the fate of generations of Dark Templar.
"This is why I was ordered to come here." Rick clearly knew the combat intentions of Augustus and the coalition forces, which was clearly visible in the combat meeting and the map attached.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, or to wait for reinforcements, a protracted and attrition war with the zerg is tantamount to seeking death. Any resourceful protoss or human commander will end the battle by killing the cerebrates.
And destroy the insect nest and even the hatchery in the insect nest.
At this time, more transport ships of the 1st Airborne Division of the Revolutionary Army landed on the barren land of Mars. The landing gear popped out of the belly of the aircraft raised hot air waves when they landed. They were lined up in rows and rows wearing black and gray CMC power armor.
soldiers walk down the gangway.
The arc-light tanks and Goliath armed robots tied with heavy iron chains drove out of the cargo hold one after another. The gold-red painted tanks and mechas were painted with the standards and numbers of the revolutionary army. The soldiers near these giants were
Appear short.
Among the soldiers stood Firebats wearing heavy armor and a team of Marauders wearing similar models to the former. Many of them were Wolf Warrior I heavy-duty mechas modified from space engineering vehicles.
Compared with the Goliath armed robot, the ordinary mecha modified using the space engineering vehicle is only 4 to 5 feet (about 1.2 to 1.5 meters) taller than the CMC power armor. It only adds a reinforced frame and alloy steel plating to the original basis.
And stainless steel guard plate, equipped with a wide titanium steel explosion-proof shield.
The mass-produced Wolf Warriors use a castrated version of the Sidewinder railgun and a 30mm cannon, so the batteries and thrusters are larger than the original ones. The weapons they use are not always fixed, and they are also equipped with hydraulic flamethrowers to deal with them.
Swarms of Zerglings suppressed.
The construction of these mechas came from the orders of Augustus and were entirely the work of chief engineer Rory Swann and his team of engineers. After all, what the Camorians are best at is installing armor on their civilian equipment.
and artillery to pull up to the front line.
When facing the surging swarm of insects, the warrior wolf holding the wall shield can also deform slightly and retract its walking limbs to form a shield wall. These modified space engineering vehicles effectively enhance the firepower of the revolutionary army's ground forces.
, but even if it is modified using an almost obsolete engineering vehicle, the modification in the Yuzhong factory workshop is quite rough, but it is still expensive.
Soldiers in heavy armor, tanks and mechas walking on huge walking feet are like high steel walls in progress. Amidst the roar of tank engines and the buzz of the Goliath armed robot's servo system, the torrent of steel is rolling.
Moving forward. Fighter planes roared overhead, and the first test fire of friendly artillery on the right exploded in the distance.
When Rick ordered his soldiers to assemble, the units of the 1st Division were moving end to end, and as far as the eye could see, countless matte masks were swaying in the sun.
"I saw in these humans the courage to face death without fear." Phoenix praised these neatly dressed Revolutionary Army soldiers and said, "Brave humans! The most invulnerable Templar warriors in the history of the Protoss Empire are nothing more than this."
"Compared to the protoss, we have many shortcomings, including clumsiness, cowardice, and greed...but human beings have as many advantages as shortcomings." Rick Kidd smiled softly: "In a place far away from our homeland,
We are more united than ever. Human courage lies in the hymn of sacrifice."
"I have seen many human soldiers. They are all resolute and brave warriors." Phoenix continued: "But a few years ago, they were just civilians engaged in the Karai industry. Some of them had never seen weapons, but now they have
Already able to face dozens of springtails fearlessly."
"War, death and the loss of relatives and friends are enough to change a person and make him stronger." Rick said: "Augustus would say that war is hammering us into steel."
"You are just a piece of steel, Jaco Bennett. You think you are an executioner, but I want to tell you, what you are good at is definitely not killing people." Phoenix was still talking about Rick's real name, but the latter had once
Frankly speaking, unless he inherits the Bennett family, he will never use his name and family name again.
Now, Rick felt very strange when he heard this name again.
"I command this army in the name of Marshal Augustus Mengsk, and all the praise and respect I receive are based on my brave warriors." Rick said.
"The Protoss believes that an outstanding legion may not necessarily have an outstanding leader, but an outstanding leader must lead an army that is good at fighting. Augustus Mengsk is already outstanding among his kind, and his warriors
He is also a role model for mankind.”
Phoenix mentioned his leader to Rick: "I have had long conversations with him more than once, and he always attributes his achievements to you."
Grain pot
"Augustus never talks about himself because there are so many people who praise him," Rick said.
"Jacob Bennett, maybe you haven't noticed that Augustus Mengsk's words, deeds and qualities are affecting you." Phoenix was able to see through Rick's heart: "The education you received in your family did not stop you.
Become a soldier. In fact, you are a born warrior. You learned a lot from Augustus, so you are considerate of your subordinates. This is why you are loved by others."
In addition to the selfless political commissars of the Revolutionary Army, many generals in the Revolutionary Army are loved by others. They either care about their subordinates and manage the army well, or they, like Mira Han and Tychus Finley, find new ways to fight with their unique methods.
His style makes his subordinates obey his instructions.
"Colonel Rick, the sensors detected Nydus Worm activity under your feet. Be careful, the insect swarm is approaching you." At this time, the emotionless alarm sound of the mechanical adjutant came to Rick's ears.
"The enemy is Zerg, the entire army is on alert and the bullets are loaded!" Rick immediately ordered on the channel.
The 1st Airborne Division is at the forefront of the offensive echelon, with only the troops of Colonel Pryor and General Duke in front. But the Zerg is not a beast that only rushes forward. It not only lays ambushes like those web-weaving spiders, but also attacks from behind.
Launch raids from the air and underground.
"My army of zealots is on your right side." Without any communication equipment, Phoenix's order has been transmitted to the entire army led by him through the psychic network Kara.
Rick could not see the main force of the Protoss with his naked eyes, but with the deployment speed of the Protoss, they could arrive at any battlefield at a jaw-dropping speed.
At this time, like a sign of an approaching tsunami, the ashes on the ground trembled due to the shaking of the ground. Two months ago, this place was a garden world with lush green trees, birds singing and fragrant flowers, but now it is as desolate as Char, the world of death.
Dead silence.
At the foot of a well-positioned airborne troop, the ground suddenly collapsed in a tremor. A large crater with a diameter of dozens of feet in width instantly swallowed up three paratroopers holding Gauss rifles. They disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Time disappeared, as if falling into an abyss.
Blood was still spattering in the expanding hole like a bloody mouth, and an ugly and ferocious mouth rose up amidst the roar of guns and hundreds of springtails and Hydra Hydralisks.
He jumped down from the giant mouth of the Nydus Worm hanging high in the air, jumped on the ground and started killing the Revolutionary Army soldiers. Blood was everywhere in an instant.
In an instant, dozens of Nydus Worms jumped out of the ground at the same time, throwing the dark swarm of insects into the crowd.
Their bright, blood-red skin emits a bloodthirsty light in the sun, and more proliferated spikes and exoskeleton armor make these monsters look more like real demons. There is no doubt that this
It is a branch of Tiamat's insect swarm, a close guard among the Lord's servants, and the most terrifying insect hive.
Rick's communication channel immediately became chaotic. Officers were repeating the commander's orders, some soldiers were asking their comrades, and others were screaming. No matter how indestructible the human army is, in front of it
Even when dealing with a swarm of insects that far outnumbers your own, you will be in a state of panic.
These are still the elite of the revolutionary army. If those recruits were dragged onto the battlefield after only a few days of training, they would have been unable to suppress their inner fears and began to flee in all directions and attack their own friendly forces, leaving a large number of them armed with sophisticated weapons.
The human army was completely defeated and massacred.
This situation is not uncommon in areas of the Terran Federation world that have never experienced war and in armies that have not undergone resocialization. Those Federation armies that once showed their prowess in the Camorion Labor Auxiliary Army are facing
When dealing with zerg, they often collapse at the first touch and lose their armor.
While Rick ordered the units of the Airborne Division to move closer to friendly forces, he also ordered them to blow up the Nydus Worm at all costs and drop high-temperature plasma flames into its fetid intestines.
When Rick looked toward a Nydus Worm that was leaping out of the ground not far from where he was, he saw a horrifying sight:
The roaring Tunnel Worm opened its bloody mouth and kept spitting out infected humans and soldiers wearing power armor. Some of them carried horrific and explosive chemicals to infect people. As soon as the infected people fell among the soldiers,
It triggered an earth-shattering explosion, many soldiers were torn to pieces, and some even left no corpses.
So far, the only humans in Ayr are the Revolutionary Army. These hateful-looking infected people were once friendly forces of the 1st Airborne Division. In many battles deep into Ayr, many troops disappeared forever in the dangerous jungle.
.
The insect swarm reshaped the bodies of those captured human soldiers and comrades who were too late to be taken away by the revolutionary army, and controlled them with the main hive mind, turning these brave and steadfast warriors into slaves of the alien monsters they once hated so much.
The deformations on some of the infected Revolutionary Army soldiers covered their entire bodies. It was obvious that the insect swarm had not had time to fully assimilate them before they were thrown onto the battlefield.
Some people still retain their past memories and consciousness, and some people are even still awake in their brains, but they can no longer control their bodies and can only watch themselves holding the tendons, ligaments and mucous membranes closely connected to the body.
Gauss rifles fired at compatriots.
Both Rick and the revolutionary army who faced the infected felt extremely sad and angry. In the past, those soldiers wearing disgusting yellow helmets and covered with deformed tentacles and sharp appendages might have been members of the military.
Examples, they are sons and husbands who swore to fight for human freedom and now have lost their own freedom.
"It must be the brainworm Carlos who created these infected humans. The zerg cannot infect the protoss, but it can control human thoughts." Phoenix looked there, and the Templars around him lit up the blue souls one after another.
The energy blade pounced on the tunnel worm.
They are the most courageous fanatics in Phoenix, walking as fast as flying and charging like hurricanes on the sea.
The running Templars were all heavily armored but as light as hunting cats. They passed through the Revolutionary Army soldiers who kept firing, as if they were brushing against the blue arcs of the soldiers passing by.
"Once again." Phoenix also walked towards the attacking Zerg: "I fight side by side with the brave ones among humans."
"I'm deeply honored."
"Me too." Rick closed his helmet with the skull of the Demon of Heaven on it, and took off the FN-92 Bosun sniper rifle on his back.
