Chapter 191: Orbital Bombardment
"Does go!"
Zhuang Xiaolin shouted, his face changed wildly, and this lava giant made him feel very dangerous. Just by looking at his body shape and structure, you know that it is definitely not something that warriors can deal with. The mercenaries come up and die.
Everyone scattered and retreated, and the team was instantly disbanded.
boom!
The lava giant's stone hammer hit the ground, like a bomb exploded, a large amount of magma splashed around, and the violent flames spread for dozens of meters like lightning. It immediately swept three mercenaries with a slightly slower speed in it. Even with fearless armor protection, it was useless. The high temperature of thousands of degrees burned the armor red, and tragic screams came from it.
At the same time, the attack of the lava giant caused a violent vibration, and the ground within a radius of 1,000 meters rolled up. Hundreds of rock giants broke out of the ground, and the magma river also bubbling everywhere, and lava giants appeared one after another from the river.
Although these lava giants are not as big as the first one, their height is more than five meters, and they rushed to the shore with terrible high temperatures.
This scene scared the mercenaries to death, and someone shouted, "Run!"
Human beings are always inseparable from herd mentality. When they see someone taking the lead in running away in panic, the other mercenaries hesitate and immediately turn around and run away. At this time, they no longer care about any steps and run wildly.
"Damn!"
Xin Ji couldn't help but curse. Escape in such a place is the stupidest choice. The faster you run, the heavier your steps, the more rock giants you wake up. It's better to stay and form a formation to resist. There are two generals to deal with the lava giants, and there is no problem for the others to solve hundreds of rock giants. There will definitely be a lot of casualties, which is much better than the entire army being wiped out.
Moreover, the entire planet is filled with red drops everywhere, where can I escape?
"A group of mobs!"
Xin Ji was depressed. No wonder these people all had great strength, at least high-level warriors, but could only be mercenaries instead of joining the interstellar warfare group. However, it cannot be entirely blamed on the mercenaries who have poor combat literacy. After a series of hard battles and are in desperate situations, their psychological will have almost collapsed. The lava giant is the last straw that broke the camel's back. It is the instinct of a creature to escape in the face of a strong enemy.
As the leader of the group, Zhuang Xiaolin was helpless.
The lava giant looked terrifying, but he was confident that he could solve it. However, before he could come forward and take action, the mercenaries were almost running away, with less than ten people left.
Everyone looked at each other and could only run along.
Everyone ran wildly, and thousands of rock giants chased after them. The ten-meter-high lava giant came out of the magma river and rushed over. It could cross more than ten meters in one step, faster than the rock giant. Wherever it passed, the footprints like a fire pit left were filled with magma.
Whenever the lava giant was about to catch up, Zhuang Xiaolin waved his sword to block it for a few breaths, slowing down its speed, and then quickly break away without fighting against it head-on.
He fought and retreated, ran more and more rock giants chasing behind him, and his momentum became increasingly huge. At the same time, he attracted more rock giants. The ground within a radius of thousands of meters was shaking and boiling.
Not only behind, there were also a large number of rock giants on the road ahead, or rolling down from the mountain peaks and attacking the mercenaries running in the front. At this time, as long as they stop, they will die. In order to avoid the rock giants in front, many mercenaries panicked and unknowingly separated from the team.
A mercenary ran and suddenly found that his companions were gone. Looking around, there were rock giants everywhere, he shouted in despair: "Ah! Save me!"
However, the rock giant drowned him in a blink of an eye.
Within a few minutes, more than a dozen mercenaries were left alone. They had no way to escape without running far and were torn to pieces by the rock giant.
There were fewer and fewer mercenaries around him. Raven Drake was anxious and shouted loudly while running: "Listen to me, everyone is clearing the way together, don't run away."
His shouting worked. In the chaos, the mercenaries barely concentrated some, and the two generals fought hard, which slowed down the mercenaries' speed of reducing their troops.
Even so, people die every few minutes.
While running, Xin Ji looked back and his scalp suddenly became numb. He found that whether it was the rock giant or the lava giant, they were exhausted and chasing them relentlessly. The number was increasing like snowballs. The smoke and dust were rolling in his sight, and at least three or four thousand giants were chasing behind him.
"If you run like this, you will never end. Once you run out of your energy, you will die."
He looked up at the sky, and now he could only hope that the warships on the orbit had fired.
But now everyone is mixed with the giants, throwing rats and jealous weapons. The warship can kill even their own people after one shot. If the chasing rock giant can be controlled within a range and open a safe distance, with the power of the main gun of the warship, most of them can be eliminated with just one shot, and the rest is not to be afraid.
Xin Ji's mind changed rapidly and soon came up with a method.
He moved in the crowd, approached the two generals, and said quickly: "Go back to the plain and run around in a big circle, gather the enemies together, and let the warships kill them."
There is another advantage in running on the plains. The red drops underground have been consumed once. No new rock giants will appear before absorbing enough heat. Moreover, the plains have a wide view, which makes it easier for warships to fire guns and aim to avoid accidentally hurting their own people.
"That's it."
Zhuang Xiaolin and Lei Wen immediately understood Xin Ji's idea and asked everyone to adjust their direction and run towards the plain.
They ran and fought along the way. When the team returned to the plain, the number of people was less than half of the time they set out, with only more than twenty people. Everyone immediately ran along the large circle on the plain, deliberately controlling the direction of the giants behind them. After a few laps, more than 90% of the giants were gathered together, including the lava giants, which was daunting.
"Why haven't you fired?"
Lei Wen looked up at the sky anxiously while running. Because of the existence of the shielding force field, he could not contact the warship. He could only hope that Deputy Commander Eugene could understand the plans of everyone on the ground.
However, after two minutes, the warship was still silent. At this time, three more mercenaries were exhausted and were caught by the rock giant behind them.
"What the hell is Eugene doing?"
The mercenaries shouted: "If we don't fire, we will all die!"
Xin Ji gradually became anxious. If the warship did not fire, today might be the death of everyone on the ground. Even if he ignored his identity and put on the iron-blooded general, he would not be able to withstand it for long.
Just as he looked up at the sky again, telepathy suddenly issued a warning, as if a huge danger was about to come.
He was not surprised but happy, and said intimately: "The bombardment is coming!"
The next second, a blue light fell from the sky with lightning speed. In the center of the group of rock giants hundreds of meters away, with a bang, the whole world was darkened. Then a bright light that could not be seen directly by the naked eye burst out. The shock wave swept across all directions with tens of thousands of tons of soil and stones, pushing flat and destroying the rock giants that were affected one after another disintegrated and restored to gravel.
This is the high-energy particle cannon of the warship. The principle is very simple. It is to accelerate an uncharged neutron to close to the speed of light and then fire it out. Whether in space or in the atmosphere, it can level the mountain with one shot!
The landing point of this shelling was very precise. When the shock wave spread to the mercenaries' positions, its power had been reduced by more than 90%, which was not worth worrying.
The light goes out and the vision returns to normal.
A huge pit with a diameter of more than 100 meters appeared on the plain, reaching more than 30 meters deep. Thousands of rock giants were wiped out under the extremely powerful high-energy particle cannon. The lava giant that he chased along the way was gone, and there was no trace of it. Only dozens of rock giants closer to the mercenaries survived, but they were also tilted by the shock wave, and their bodies were damaged to varying degrees, which greatly reduced the threat.
"Haha, good job!"
The mercenaries cheered happily. The gun was so good that they instantly wiped out more than 95% of the enemies.
However, before everyone was happy for too long, a laser ray that ran across the sky appeared out of thin air in the sky, accurately hitting the warship on the track. The energy shield and armor were as fragile as paper paste, without any protective effect. The ray penetrated from the other side of the warship and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Well……"
The mercenaries' smiles suddenly frozen. They all looked at the sky nervously and saw large scents of flames coming out of the warship. It seemed that an explosion occurred inside, and the orbital height continued to decline, making people raise their hearts to their throats.
"Oh my God, don't crash, don't crash..."
Someone couldn't help but murmur. Fortunately, the warship finally barely stabilized after a shaking moment, hovering on the track of more than a thousand kilometers. However, there was a big hole in the main gun, which was completely destroyed, and it was impossible to fire again. The secondary gun may be intact, but the warship would definitely not be able to withstand the second laser ray attack. Once the gun was fired, it would be not far from the crash.
"As long as it doesn't crash!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and if the warship was also shot down, they would completely lose hope of returning to the Federation.
Zhuang Xiaolin withdrew his gaze and shouted, "Stop looking, kill these miscellaneous pieces first."
The mercenaries looked at the dozens of incomplete rock giants who were still chasing behind them, raised their weapons and turned to meet the enemy, venting their anger on these giants. In less than three minutes, the battle ended.
The last rock giant was broken, and the mercenaries sat down on the ground, so tired that they didn't even want to move a finger. Not only were they exhausted, but their psychological fatigue even worse. They have been on the verge of life and death for more than half an hour. It feels bad to be chased by thousands of giants. They never want to do it again.
Raven Drag counted the number of people, his face was bleak, and there were only fifteen people left.
Zhuang Xiaolin's face was not good either. This trip was really heavy. The more than 40 people died were all high-level warriors and the main elite of the mercenary group. Even if the remaining people returned to Space City, the strength of the mercenary group would be greatly reduced, and it would be difficult to maintain the status of the four major mercenary groups.
The most important thing is that everyone is trapped on the planet, can they still go back? rw
