"Chairman." The Red Queen, who was standing on Sui Bian's left hand side, reported to him: "Primarch Angron applied to use his Honor Guard to launch a surprise attack on the machine side."
"Approved..." Sui Bian immediately agreed, and added: "Red Queen, tell Angron for me and tell him to negotiate with Eden on behalf of me and Umbrella before we arrive in Kogler.
, military operations are also carried out according to his judgment."
"yes."
After explaining to the Red Queen, Sui Bian continued to focus on the holographic screen displayed above the center console, reading information about humans and machines on another earth.
According to the information Angron asked from Victor, it shows that there are some differences between the space gate and "The Matrix".
In particular, the Eden military tried to use the virus to paralyze the machine.
However, how to liberate humans imprisoned in the virtual realm is indeed a "century" problem with the means and technology Eden has mastered.
Thinking.
Sui Bian couldn't help but turn sideways and looked at Honghou with his peripheral vision.
Using guns and artillery to deal with machines is really inefficient, so he calls the confrontation of military operations a "secondary" battlefield.
If you want to completely eliminate the machines, the Eden military's proposed virus implantation is an option, but it cannot take care of the imprisoned humans.
So when they arrive at Kogler, the White Queen will temporarily take over everything under the Red Queen's control, and the Red Queen will be responsible for the "main" battlefield of the Void Realm.

…
"Boom! Boom~!"
The "scorched" sky was filled with lightning and thunder.
The surface under the sky is in dilapidated condition, a city scene that has been completely reduced to ruins.
As far as the eye can see, they are all tilted and collapsed giant buildings.
And among the streets, most of them are skeletons.
Some have long since fallen apart, with their heads and limbs separated, while others are relatively intact.
In an alley, there were two skeletons lying in the corner, hugging each other.
Based on the characteristics of the pelvis and other aspects, it can be judged that they are a mother and daughter, or they may be an elder and a junior in another relationship, but no matter which one it is, it is not difficult to guess how desperate they were at the beginning.
Leave the alley.
Looking over the entire city, even now, we can still feel the "sorrow" of mankind.
At this moment, twenty-four "human" figures, divided into four teams of six "humans", flew at low altitude and quickly shuttled through the ruins of the city.
Each of "them" has a head, torso and limbs, but in terms of body proportions, they are slimmer than ordinary humans.
And the biggest difference from ordinary humans is their height. Their average height is about 10 meters, which is obviously beyond the normal range.
In addition to their height, each one wears a black composite nanosuit and modular armor similar to Mjolnir. The overall painting is the iconic white and gray-blue of the Wrecker Corps.
The key to "them" being able to float in the air and fly quickly lies in the nuclear fusion reactor-powered backpack on their backs. If you look closely around "them", you can still vaguely see the positions emitting a faint light.
Although the Covenant Empire was quickly pushed back and defeated by humans, it must be said that their various technologies are indeed good, especially the anti-gravity levitation technology that can only be used in the atmosphere.
As for the true identities of these twenty-four giants, they are some kind of special "exoskeleton" driven by the Wrecker Honor Guard, called the Gladiator Guard.
Alexia submitted an application to Sui Bian and was responsible for leading the research project called "Imitation Olympus Gods, Lilith Biological Exoskeleton", which was then produced by Luna Base and was a heavy-duty biological exoskeleton.
In essence, this biological exoskeleton is an extremely simplified version of the primarch's dedicated god body.
Therefore, it is necessary to use the Astartes as pilots. Of course, only the genes of the Astartes are eligible for "customization", so it is extremely difficult to mass-produce. Astartes that are eligible for "customization" and use
Tate is the elite of the Glory Guard, or the bodyguard of Sui Bian.
Since the official name of the biological exoskeleton is too complicated and confusing, Sui Bian called it the "Centurion Mecha."
now.
The gladiators drove the Centurion quickly past the ruins of the city, to the outskirts of the open area, and continued flying at low altitude toward the east.
The Centurion's standard weapon comes from the Raccoon City Arsenal. It looks like an enlarged and extended pulse rifle, but its caliber is an 80mm pulse cannon, which can fire different types of caseless pulse shells.
Among these four teams, two Centurions had missile launch bays mounted on their backs.
There are also two aircraft equipped with five-barreled rotating gauss cannons that can fire 25mm spike shells, and huge ammunition boxes are also mounted on their backs.
The gladiators are following Angron's orders, taking the initiative to attack, and go to deal with the machine army that is conducting excavation operations and preparing to invade Eden.
After arriving at an area that was still five or six kilometers away from the target location, black sentries emerged from underground channels, or rushed from the direction of the target location, gathered together, and rushed towards the gladiators like a "wave"
It seemed that the Centurion had been flying in the open area for a long time, and finally the machine party caught the trace and prepared to send sentries to intercept it.
See this.
The four teams of gladiators had no intention of slowing down to meet the challenge. They even adjusted to a triangle formation and increased their speed, hoping to break through the sentry interception.
The two sides are getting closer...
near…
In an instant, the gladiator at the forefront of the formation was the first to collide with the oncoming wave of sentries.
However, the tactics used by the Sentinels such as violent entanglement and dismemberment are effective against the human electromagnetic battleships in this world, but they are "overshadowed" by the Centurion mecha in the main universe.
"Dang~! Dang~!"
Before the centurion made substantial contact with the wave, he immediately generated a special shield composed of "◇" diamond-shaped blocks that emitted golden light and bounced the sentry away in reverse.
Subsequently, all centurions raised their diamond-shaped shields.
The damage caused by the physical impact was extremely small, and the sentry had no time to use high-energy rays, so it was unable to effectively break the diamond shield, causing the gladiators who maintained their formation to run rampant in the wave.
The two sides intersect.
At the same time, neither side suffered any losses, but the gladiators had already broken out of the interception circle and used their speed to leave the sentries behind.
As soon as they flew not far away, they saw an endless army of machines ahead, almost turning the barren surface into a dark ocean.
There are an overwhelming number of Sentinels, and there are models with different appearances and sizes, most of which are insect-like, chaotic, and not equipped with advanced weapons at all.
Based on the first impression alone, it seems that this is a miscellaneous army formed at random by the machine side. Some machine models are judged based on the experience of the gladiators. They are not so much combat units as "machinists" who are specialized in engineering.
A miscellaneous army?
The gladiators kept this guess in mind and reported back after completing the mission and returning to the frontline base.
At this time, the machine army had already responded, still gathering and dispatching sentries like "cannon fodder".
The gladiators controlled the Centurion to drive upwards, and after reaching a height of about 500 meters above the ground, they slowed down, strengthened their suspended positions, and "stand" in the air with guns in both hands.
Immediately afterwards, the two Centurions unfolded their mounted missile launch bays...Gu Er
"Shua~! Shua~!"
Twenty small missiles came out of the warehouse, climbing at a faster speed with white tail flames, then adjusted their direction and dispersed away.
See this.
The sentries that had formed a new wave suddenly stopped moving, staring at the missiles with their mechanical eyes, as if they no longer regarded the gladiators driving the Centurion mecha as their primary target.
In just a moment, twenty missiles had arrived at their respective target locations and detonated one after another according to the procedures...
"ri~! Boom---!"
The intensity of the explosion was not great, and it could be said to have almost no lethality. However, the detonation of these twenty missiles released an extremely violent "electromagnetic storm".
Witnessing this scene, the sentry felt like a forest animal that the "electromagnetic storm" that could devour everything, like a wildfire, was about to reach us...
Turn around and run.
It's a pity that the flight speed can't match the impact of "Storm"?
In the end, they were completely paralyzed without being prepared for the electromagnetic pulse attack. They fell from the air in free fall one after another, hit the ground, and piled up into mountains.
On the other hand, the Centurion mecha, which was also hit by the "storm", was still "standing" in the air intact.
Putting aside the power backpack, even if it is not equipped with a defensive electromagnetic pulse device, the Centurion mecha will not be paralyzed. After all, "they" are creatures "weaved" from the training pool of Luna Base. They have flesh and blood, but they have no soul.
.
The "electromagnetic storm" is fleeting.
When the light dissipated, the gladiators, who were Centurions' souls, conducted scanning observations and found that the sentinels had been destroyed and no one survived.
Weapons such as electromagnetic pulse bombs are not commonly used by Umbrella, and it should be said that they are difficult to use. In the main universe, even seemingly barbaric and ignorant pirate forces like the Jiralhanae have ships equipped with mechanisms to prevent electromagnetic pulses.
Nowadays, the cannon fodder used to deal with machines is very handy, and there is no need to throw it into the storage warehouse to "eat ashes".
However, at this time, the large machines on the ground were not affected and continued to carry out excavation work in a dull manner according to the orders of their superiors.
So the gladiators controlled the centurion, aimed and locked, and pulled the trigger.
"Bang! Bang!"
For a moment there was a burst of artillery fire.
When the 80mm shellless pulse cannon hits the target's steel body, causing impact damage, it will also trigger a secondary explosion to physically paralyze those large machines.
The 25mm magnetic nail shells are like oversized steel nails that penetrate and tear the target at extremely high speeds, causing devastating damage.
The gladiators began to fly slowly over the surface littered with machine corpses in small teams, conducting sweeps against the thousands of "survivors" of the "electromagnetic storm".
mercy?
How can it be.
After observing the skeletons lying in the ruins of the city during the flight, coupled with the education and training they received, it is impossible for them to feel compassion for the machines that slaughter and imprison humans, only disgust and anger.
Less than half an hour.
With the explosion of the last large machine, it showed that this incalculable number of motley crews had been hunted down by the gladiators.
Fly in a circle to confirm everything is correct.
The gladiators controlled their centurions to return to low-altitude flight and return to the area where the forward base was located.
———————
…
A few minutes later.
The centurion formation passed by the previous pasture, but this time no sentries came out to "greet" them, or in other words, no sentries came to obstruct them on their way back.
After all, most of the sentries wandering around here are either attacking frontline bases or gathering at excavation sites hundreds of kilometers away.
The result is destruction.
So until the machine side reacts and prepares for a massive counterattack, this is a green area for the time being.
Soon, the gladiators swept across the pasture and flew towards the area full of canal fractures.
With memory and screen guidance, the gladiators passed through one of the fractures and entered the underground channels of the old world city, where they found Krieg, the Auxiliaries and the Astartes stationed at the "T" corner position.
Slow down.
Come to the top of the "t" position.
Turn left.
What comes into view is the frontline base that has begun to take shape.
The subsequent centurion formations landed under the space door one by one, walked to a facility that resembled a large parking shed, and then walked to an exclusive parking space with elevated metal corridors, robotic arms and other auxiliary devices.
Stand still.
Next, a group of logistics personnel belonging to the Wrecker Corps stepped forward to help the gladiators leave the "cockpit" of the Centurion mecha.
There are also more than ten special members in the logistics...
He is a kind of long-necked jellyfish, a very docile, half-mechanical, half-biological "Harlock" engineer.
They were also divided into twenty-four groups, and they gathered around the twenty-four Centurion mechas. They cooperated with each other and operated the mechanical arms to remove the power backpack and outer armor according to the procedure, revealing the body only covered by the nanosuit.
"Wow!"
Along with the movement of the liquid flowing, a gap about two meters long and half a meter wide opened on the right side of the spine behind the Centurion mecha.
A large amount of colorless liquid gushes out through the gap.
At the same time, the gladiators who were also wearing nanosuits used this gap to climb out of the "cockpit" of the Centurion mecha and came to the elevated metal corridor to undergo on-site inspections by logistics and the Harlock clan to confirm their physiological status.
Whether everything is normal.
at the same time.
Inside the command center of the forward base.
Looking at the scene information on various screens and listening to various reports from the civilian auxiliary army, Angron, standing in the center, fell into deep thought.
No need to be reminded by the gladiator, just through the real-time footage captured by the Centurion mecha, the original body had already guessed that the machine army was essentially a "miscellaneous army".
Don’t you take human beings seriously?
Or can machines become arrogant?
Angron was not sure why, so he ordered: "Upload the intelligence we collected after destroying the machine army, and then notify the chairman. I will lead the guards to Eden first to negotiate with the higher-ups of humans in this universe."
"Yes, sir." A group of auxiliary soldiers responded.
After giving the order, Angron turned around and left. Accompanied by several gladiators wearing exclusive Terminators, he came outside the command center and smiled at Victor, Mark and others waiting here:
