In this situation, although Mertes was very selfish, he also knew that if he didn't help, the situation would really be lost, so he had no choice but to go to war.
He consumed a lot of source energy and used his special ability: source energy parasitism, but the target of the parasitism was an ordinary electromagnetic rifle.
The process of parasitism was extremely fast, just like a drop of water falling on the electromagnetic rifle and soaking in. The electromagnetic rifle immediately produced some subtle changes.
What happened next shocked Fang Linyan and the others.
Next, Gigas picked up the electromagnetic rifle. Oh no, Mertes must have walked out. In the end, he only found the opportunity to fire three shots.
The first shot directly spanned a distance of almost three kilometers and blasted a firing Mammoth tank into a ball of fireworks!
The second shot first detonated a Spitfire chariot rushing at the front, and then continued to blast an elite soldier wearing heavy exoskeleton armor at the rear!
The third shot was not as successful as the first two shots. To be precise, it should have returned without success.
Because the target of the third shot was one person: Deputy Commander Hank!
After the shot was fired, a colonist first noticed something was wrong and directly used a prop to summon a three-meter-thick crystal ice wall.
But it was of no use. After the shot flew by, the ice wall turned into powder.
Fortunately, the ice wall also gave the others time to buffer. Someone next to Deputy Commander Hank released a shield, which could only slow down the speed of the shot.
Finally, three soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor rushed out from Hank's side. The three men worked together to create a crimson shield to protect Hank, and finally blocked the shot.
However, the three soldiers who blocked the attack for Hank were thrown back more than ten meters at the same time. The exoskeleton armor on their bodies continued to explode in mid-air, emitting thick black smoke.
After firing this shot, the electromagnetic rifle disintegrated and scattered into a large number of damaged parts. However, Mertes' body returned to Fang Linyan with a curse, saying that the gun was too bad.
, words like Gigas is too stupid...
Needless to say, Mertes then extorted a lot of equipment/props from Fang Linyan and others to absorb. The three of them were numb to this, especially the goat and the vulture. They were so miserable that they almost had to strip off their own equipment to give it to him.
To the point of sucking.
If it weren't for Fang Linyan's promise that he would work harder to get the money back, otherwise the two of them would have given up long ago.
The Star Thief's casualties were also very heavy. Even Gigas was almost killed on the battlefield. In the end, only one head was left, and he escaped in a miserable way. Although miserable, he seemed quite capable.
Somewhat funny.
Fang Linyan and the other three also fought very hard. Fortunately, at this point in the battle, the space warriors on the Capsule Technology side were unwilling to give up their previous efforts.
It doesn't matter if you lose the battle. If you lose the battle and the creditor is still there, then everything will be easy...
However, once the C7 secret camp is donated by the federal army, it is not a matter of winning or losing. It is equivalent to the creditors being involved or dead. Of course, the debt will be wiped out after death, and all previous efforts will be in vain!
Fortunately, the reinforcements from Capsule Technology finally came through this time. There was no last-second plot where the protagonist appeared to save the world, but actually arrived half an hour early.
An aqua-blue void glow ship jumped out of the void at any cost. The heavy price paid for this was the destruction of two photon engines and thick black smoke billowing from behind the thrusters.
This Void Glow Ship is crystal clear and looks as exquisite as a work of art, but it is actually extremely powerful in combat. At this time, the main fighter in the Federation Army: the Strawberry. If it is transformed into a shuttle, it can at least defeat one against three!
However, the price of one Void Glow Ship can fully buy five Richopus shuttles... This should be the main reason why the Chisuo Star Pirates lost their air supremacy.
However, even if there is only one photon engine left, this void glow ship can hover steadily above the C7 camp, and then provide powerful photon pulse cannons as fire support!
Because the Federation Army had previously determined that it had absolute air superiority on this planet, when they entered the Ball Fern battlefield this time, in order to save precious transportation capacity, they did not bring any combat machinery with anti-air capabilities.
The only thing with effective anti-air capabilities is the Eagle Air Type 5 air defense tower placed in the camp. This thing is used to deal with possible void rays...
However, the Eagle Air Type V air defense tower is fixed! They can't just swagger and assemble the air defense tower directly in front of the void ship!
Now the federal army even has to consider how to successfully retreat with minimal losses.
Therefore, it can almost be considered that the overall situation has been decided!
After confirming this, everyone cheered. At this time, Fang Linyan opened the battlefield merit list and checked it.
Well, their team is currently ranked very low, probably out of the top ten, and almost ignored by everyone.
Then Fang Linyan sneered and did something very/extremely/double/unkind.
He looked around furtively, and then slipped directly into the maintenance workshop in the cave of the C7 camp. There was no one here, only a few paralyzed and scrapped armored vehicles were placed here.
Then Fang Linyan walked up quickly, and then carefully disassembled one of the parts called the "valve lifter" from the wreckage of a Spitfire chariot.
Then he continued to walk to another vehicle...
Five minutes later, Fang Linyan left quietly, and then silently waited for the countdown to the end of the battlefield.
10,9,8......
When the countdown reached 7, Fang Linyan simply clicked on a task.
This task was concocted by him personally, and its name is: Repair.
The content of the task is: The repair task in the C7 camp is getting busier now. Please collect these four components: advanced valve lifters, black knock sensors, dual exhaust drum pipes, and titanium piston skirts to submit.
Not only that, the task also has clear requirements, and the integrity of these four parts must be 100%.
The reward for this mission is very generous.
Most of the space warriors who accepted the mission gave up immediately after seeing the mission.
Because they can pronounce the names of the four parts required for this task, but they can only pronounce them.
Just like sword, treasure, and big, I also know these three words, and when combined, I know that it is a kind of weapon. As for the deeper meaning of this name, ahem, I really have no idea at all.
Of course, almost all the warriors in space are elites selected from a thousand. Although these four highly professional parts are unique mechanical parts in this world, there are still people who can identify them and know what to use on the battlefield.
Local disassembly.
However, these little clever guys will face the next cruel reminder:
"Sorry, sir, the integrity of the advanced valve lifter you submitted is 80%... which does not meet our needs."
"Sorry, sir, the paint on the black deflagration sensor you submitted has peeled off, and its power is only 78% of the new one. Unfortunately, it does not meet our needs."
"...."
In fact, Fang Linyan has already tried it. Even if these four parts are brand-new products that have just left the factory, after evaluation, their integrity is only between 95% and 98%, but this does not affect normal use.
It's not that the production process at this time can't do this, but it's not necessary.
This is just like the owner of a stall with fried eggs and fried rice. He will never pursue spotless food and no pesticide residues. This is the reason why diners will burst into tears after eating.
Because the purchasing point targeted by the customer group is not at all here.
Therefore, the only way to complete this task is to manually operate it yourself and re-polishing the parts that were originally not complete enough to achieve 100% of the task requirements.
Therefore, this task is actually a task tailor-made by Fang Linyan for himself!!
It seems to be an open task, but in fact, it is an out-and-out cheating device!
Fang Linyan had also joined the battlefield with vultures and goats before, and successfully obtained some platinum points as rewards, but their rankings were too low, so no one paid attention to them at all.
Then, when the countdown reached seven seconds, Fang Linyan submitted the repair task and successfully obtained the high platinum point reward that had been set long ago.
After this reward was added, combined with the platinum points obtained by Fang Linyan and the others through their previous planning, they completed overtaking on the corner in an instant, reached the third position, and successfully regained the shield mastering skill book.
