Chapter 270: Lone Army, The Fourth Trump Card_l
Translator: 549690339
Last time Harrison Clark launched his final charge alone, he didn’t even have the chance to see the Silken Light Beam weapon.
Thinking about the reason is somewhat sad.
It was not that the Compound Eye Invaders were merciful, but that there was no need to expose more technology.
The enemy clearly knew that no matter how close Harrison Clark got, it would be of no use.
His strongest attack couldn’t even make a scratch on the Spherical Battleship.
As the distance shortened, sooner or later, Harrison Clark would silently die; there was no need for any more action.
At that time, Harrison Clark was the last human with combat capability, and his threat level was so low that it wasn’t worth mentioning.
But this time it was different; he was no longer fighting alone.
He had comrades beside him.
Before this, countless brave souls had been buried here.
The blood of the sacrifices did not flow in vain.
The massive fleet and billions of small combat units relentlessly bombarded not only to attract attention but also to cover Harrison Clark and the others’ actions.
The huge siege had created preconditions for the stars to collect information, annihilating the invisible Dragonfly Fighters, crushing the Invader Warship’s arguably absolute physical defense with the flowing light shield, and consuming a lot of the invaders’ energy.
Now the attack frequency of the invaders’ Silken Light Beam has decreased a lot.
Given the invaders’ original attack mode, which easily sweeps the entire space with great momentum, they would not show weakness by deliberately lowering the attack frequency unless their energy was insufficient.
In war, when the dominant side has an overwhelming advantage, there is no need to show weakness.
Just rush over once and it’s done.
Now the invaders are forced to adjust, and the result is certainly not what they want.
This frequency of Silken Light Beam attacks is enough to deal with ordinary Sky Eagle Warriors, but the special operations team is comprised of the top two million of all humans!
Even simple Particle Loaders, after deliberately strengthening their mobility through high-level training, can be considered part of the top two million.
The equipment of the special operations team members is also the strongest!
Everyone strictly adhered to Harrison Clark’s pre-arranged strategy, not counterattacking, only maintaining high-speed mobility and constantly approaching the enemy ship.
Casualties were inevitable. Occasionally, someone would be hit by the Silken Light Beams, but the losses were still bearable.
Everyone remembered Harrison Clark’s main principle: to protect the two hundred thousand loaders and two hundred thousand war beasts behind them, even if it meant using their own bodies to shield them.
Of course, the situation was not that bleak. Some of the top Eagle Strike Warriors, including Harrison Clark, could capture the incoming beams in time and intercept them with energy weapons or barrage bullets and other solid weapons.
Many people were hit along the way, but the team’s formation remained orderly.
As long as they weren’t directly hit by the Particle-interference Bomb or accidentally detonate the Particle-interference Bombs they carried, there was no major issue.
The Particle-interference Bomb storage container’s external reinforced shielding layer performed excellently.
To ensure foolproof design, the Institute of Materials, Acoustics, Radiation Research, Titan Institute, and others in Summit Tech City worked tirelessly, day and night, constantly improving the isolation layer materials and raising design standards to produce new storage containers. f𝚛𝗲𝐞𝐰e𝗯n𝗼v𝗲𝚕.𝚌o𝐦
At this time, the benefits of strict requirements and high standards were demonstrated.
Although human technology was inferior to the invaders and the storage container’s isolation layer was not as concealed as the invaders’ Black Hole Bomb, it successfully reached its destination without being discovered and detonated or accidentally triggered by the invaders.
When Harrison Clark and the others reached a distance of too kilometers, the human combat units ahead had either successfully crashed into the enemy or been intercepted by the Silken Light Beams, with the same result: reduced to powder in the cosmos.
All sacrificed.
Now only the special operations team remained, and no one could shield Harrison Clark and the others.
Suddenly, Harrison Clark’s automatic equipment vibrated slightly but quickly returned to normal. The monitoring data showed that the enemy had once again increased the power of their electromagnetic interference, but it was of no use to him.
However, Harrison Clark had a sudden hunch that something was wrong.
His Divine Eagle Armor had the strongest performance, highest weight, and top manufacturing technique with new materials, which couldn’t be replicated.
Just because he could withstand the astonishingly high power of electromagnetic interference now didn’t mean that others could as well.
Harrison Clark simply glanced at the tactical panel, which represented the engine operation of his team.
As expected, besides himself, all other members’ intelligent systems had stopped working, and their system panels displayed semi-uncontrolled orange-yellow.
The well-trained Dragon Eagle and Sky Eagle elites were able to manage, and, after switching to manual mode, they could barely maintain the stable formation required for the assault spearhead.
The original Sky Eagle elites among the Particle Loaders could manage as well, but the former captains and the Black Light War Beasts were severely affected, and their operation was suddenly limited, with the originally stable formation gradually showing signs of chaos.
With no more comrades to cover fire and attract attention in front, the movements of Harrison Clark and his team, no matter how covert, were bound to receive more attention.
The invaders changed their tactics and immediately showed their power.
Fortune never comes singly, nor does misfortune come alone.
As if they had seen through the special operations team’s intentions, the invaders again increased the energy level of the Repulsion Field, bringing Harrison Clark and his team to a sudden halt in the middle of their advance, throwing their formation into chaos.At the same time, combat units previously unseen emerged from under the dense fog shield.
Dragon Eagle Warriors like Levi Martin were in shock and their faces were ashen.
These people had also attended the high-level meeting and knew about the hidden strength of the invaders that Harrison Clark had mentioned.
Today, in addition to the silken light beams, Dragonfly Fighters, and Black Hole Bombs, the invaders had brought forth another unknown combat method that even their leader had not learned from the cosmic wisdom.
Countless sacrifices and the price of almost the entire human race had brought them to this point.
But why did the enemy still have hidden cards up their sleeves?
Even more despairing was the fact that since it was saved for the last, this hidden card was undoubtedly the most powerful.
As these combat units emerged, they formed a cluster, like a spherical shell.
But they soon changed shape, stretching out their bodies and revealing their true forms.
These black, beetle-like creatures were detected.
Detector showed that their main body had a diameter of 5.6 meters, a height of 3.3 meters, and a flat shape.
Under the main body hung eight 7.7-meter-long, nineteen-segment legs.
There were barbs on the inside of the legs, and the dark, hazy fog on them resembled the space turbulence caused by the activation of the pseudo-curvature engine.
However, this small-scale turbulence seemed much more intense and the radiation from the black blades was higher.
Compared to human equipment, which relies on the engine ignition and uncontrollable low-intensity spacetime turbulence, these bizarre beetles seemed to have no apparent energy activity in their bodies and seemed to achieve these effects merely through the natural properties of their materials.
The detection equipment quickly analyzed a large amount of data.
“Enemy mobility condition, unknown. Enemy attack mode, leg tearing spacetime. Other attack modes unknown. Enemy defense strength analysis, no energy shield on the surface, primary defense capability is high-strength material, material strength is stronger than Dragonfly Fighter, slightly weaker than the enemy ship hull. Other capabilities unknown. Total number of enemy units, 10,000.”
Harrison Clark shared the intelligence through gravitational wave communication.
Low whispers came from behind him.
Veteran soldiers had never seen such a vague analysis report that provided almost no reference data.
This could only further prove that these were the enemy’s elite forces.
Quietly, the same three words crept into many people’s minds.
It’s over.
Dragon Eagle Warrior Levi Martin asked through the gravitational wave communicator, “What should we do now, sir?”
The other Dragon Eagle Warriors also turned their heads to look at the monstrous silhouette of Harrison Clark switching to the ultimate form in the front, wanting to know what he thought now.
Needham Brown interrupted, “Tsk! What do you mean what should we do? We should charge and fight them! So many comrades have died, do you want to be the only one to survive?”
Harrison Clark waved his hand, “Needham, shut up! Everyone is not afraid of death. But now, the meaning of billions of people’s sacrifices is on us. We’ve come this far, and if we don’t charge in to see what’s inside and kill a few invaders, we will have fought for nothing.”
Needham spread his hands, “So, what should we do now?”
He glanced at his watch, then at the self-check results, gritted his teeth, and reluctantly said, “I’m in good physical condition, but I can only hold on for no more than fifty seconds longer. The others…”
He didn’t finish his words, but everyone understood.
The remaining vast majority of Sky Eagle Warriors could only hold on for about thirty to forty seconds.
As for the average time left for the particle loader teams, it was already less than twenty seconds.
Their time was running out; they could no longer afford to drag things out.
Harrison Clark conducted a brief analysis, turned back, and gave Needham a glance, “Brother, leave these eight-legged creatures to you.”
Needham instantly understood his meaning and excitedly thumped his chest, “No problem!”
The next moment, Harrison Clark’s personal auxiliary brain completed the troop allocation and sent out detailed commands.
Although other people’s automated equipment was no longer functional, they could still receive simple instructions.
Everyone immediately understood Harrison Clark’s intentions.
Boom!
The massive formation suddenly seemed to move chaotically but in an organized manner.
Since the loss of the quantum network assistant from their intelligent brains, each person had to make their own decisions. Fortunately, the warriors were well-trained, and they could quickly respond to the dynamics around them without exchanging glances.
Harrison Clark’s figure first flew backwards for a while, back to the front of the particle loaders and Black Light War Beasts’ lineup.
Right when he came back, more than 200,000 people behind him seemed scattered but orderly flew backward as well.
Forward, Needham and nine other Dragon Eagle Warriors led one million elite Sky Eagle Warriors to launch a lightning assault against the enemy.
Although the repulsion field still existed, once they had adapted to the new conditions, the specially-designed battle armor could still barely move with an overburdened burst of power.
Another 600,000 people in the huge formation fell straight down, intending to bypass the crossfire between Needham and the others and the eight-legged beetles from below..
