The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 398 397. The older you are, the less courageous you become
At the same time, Thanos has arrived at the Starship Troopers plane with his last fleet.

According to the common sense rules of plane wars, the invasion between two plane forces must follow the principle of "from outside to inside".

In other words, the alien invasions suffered by the United Government often occur in the "new dimension" that has been recently incorporated into the ruling system.

Therefore, the plane that was invaded by Thanos' forces was the Black Robe Plane, not the Starship Troopers plane that was incorporated into the rule of the United Government earlier.

To some extent, this is also an advantage for the powerful forces that win the plane war.

Each plane world of the new government will become the "outer barrier" of the joint government.

Provide more "strategic space" for the coalition government.

Those "old planes" that have been operating for many years and invested massive resources in development can exist more safely.

Of course, all of this is based on common sense rules.

The existence of space gems is obviously beyond common sense.

Through the power of the space gem, one can enter an alternate dimension in a way other than opening up a plane transmission channel.

Although the effectiveness of the Infinity Stones in the Marvel dimension will be greatly weakened in other dimensions.

However, it is still possible to use it to carry out convenient and rapid "troop transmission".

This is why Infinity Gems are considered the most important strategic resource in the plane.

Thanos did not choose to attack the Time Stone on Marvel's Earth.

Nor did he take any action against the Mind Gem in the Black Robe Plane.

Instead, he chose the Reality Gem that the United Government had placed in the Starship Troopers dimension.

In addition to the fact that Thanos' forces have experienced failure in their operations in the areas where the above two gems are located.

The most important reason is that the effects of real gems are strong enough.

Combined with the existing power, the space gem can exert a power of 2+1 which is far greater than 3.

To this end, Thanos did not hesitate to use the existence of the Soul Stone as bait to divert the attention of the United Government.

Once Thanos seizes the Reality Stone, which is rated as the "first of the Infinity Stones", his greatly increased strength will officially launch his revenge against the United Government.

This is Thanos' final plan.

After many failures, this is his last chance to turn the tables.

So Thanos will not allow any mistakes in this final operation.

The Reality Stone is located on the planet FN-115 in the Starship Troopers universe.

There is nothing special about this planet. Like most planets in this plane, it has a harsh environment, a thin atmosphere, and even no liquid water. The temperature difference between day and night is nearly 50 degrees Celsius.

In Thanos' view, the reason why the United Government chose this planet as the place to house the Reality Stone.

The main reason is that there is no celestial matter around it.

The starry sky area within millions of kilometers around is in full view, and there is no material that can serve as a cover to block anyone from approaching the planet.

There is no doubt that this area of ​​starry sky has definitely been cleared by the United Government fleet.

Judging from Thanos's many experiences of fighting with the United Government Forces, it is even possible that the United Government Fleet used naval guns to clear out the enemies one by one.

The time and energy required to cover such a vast area of ​​airspace is simply astronomical.

However, considering the scale of the United Government's terrifying fleet that almost covered the entire starry sky, this matter does not seem so exaggerated.

After several battles with the coalition government, all ended in failure.

Thanos became more cautious.

After arriving at the star field near the target planet FN-115, Thanos did not rush to give orders for action.

Instead, he carefully ordered his fleet to explore the surrounding star regions.

He patiently assigned one guard task after another to his fleet subordinates.

Such a cautious attitude was once believed by his subordinates that Thanos was frightened by the United Government.

However, the powerful oppression and deterrence that Thanos has brought to them has forced them to complete all the orders given by the other party without fail.

The silence of this starry sky is exactly the same as what one sees with the naked eye.

At least with the Chitauri civilization technology equipped in the fleet, it is impossible to detect any possible "ambush" or "trap".

"Sir, I have found out everything.

There are one hundred and ten interstellar battleships stationed in the low-Earth orbit berth.

In the entire outer space of the planet, there are forty-eight interstellar battleships in combat readiness and cruising status at all times.

There are nearly two hundred ships in total.

Judging from their appearance, they should all be at the flagship level of the United Government Army..."

Upon hearing that the garrison fleet was only two hundred ships, Thanos felt a little relieved.

Although considering the combat capability of the United Government's flagship interstellar battleship, using it to guard a mere planet is already considered a luxury.

But for a precious strategic resource like the Reality Gems, two hundred flagship-class starships do not seem to have received the attention they deserve.

“What about the coalition’s ground forces?
Also, is it possible that they are hiding their main defensive forces in underground military facilities? "

Thanos was still a little worried.

He may not be so familiar with the specific military reserves of the coalition government.

But he had suffered so many losses at the hands of the coalition government, and he was still frightened by the other side's tendency to "play dumb and eat the tiger", luring the enemy into the trap with a weak posture.

So when Thanos discovered that the United Government’s garrison was inferior to his own, his first reaction was whether there was a trick.

“Sir, we have already conducted a detailed investigation.

The United Government has deployed nearly one million ground forces on this planet.

They are stationed in ten military bases.

Based on our analysis and comparison of the scale and location of ground material transportation and resource transfer at military bases.

It is judged that there are permanent underground fortifications beneath these military bases.

The reality gem you want should be in the underground fortification of one of the military bases."

Superstar reported to Thanos respectfully.

He glanced at Thanos, whose expression still showed some hesitation, and felt a little confused.

Is this still the "peerless macho man" that he is loyal to?

Back then, Thanos swept through countless civilized races and forces in the Marvel universe with devastating force.

One after another, the once proud interstellar civilizations fell under the butcher knife of Thanos' army.

At that time, Thanos never considered the possibility of failure before fighting.

Fight bloody and fight to the death, and scare all the resisting enemies into submission.

This is the domineering and invincible Thanos in the superstar’s memory.

And now?
This timid guy, could it be that the Lord Thanos he serves is parasitized by some insignificant insect?

His mind was filled with puzzled questions, but the superstar didn't dare to ask them openly.

Fortunately, her wait did not last long.

Thanos quickly gave the order to prepare for action.

This is not because Thanos has regained his confidence, but because he knows that the Soul Stone, as a bait, cannot divert the attention of the United Government for too long.

There is not much time left for him.

If this action against the Reality Gem continues to be postponed, it will probably be difficult to take the next action.

After receiving clear instructions, the superstar immediately ordered his troops to prepare for battle.

In fact, she was looking forward to this battle. As a member who focused on auxiliary combat capabilities, Superstar had always been considered by the outside world to be a "bottom-tier" existence among the "Black Five".

Even when Thanos took action, he only asked her to stay behind.

Naturally, she was quite unconvinced.

But I have always had no way to prove myself.

Now, the remaining four of the "Obsidian Five" have all fallen at the hands of the United Government Forces.

For the superstar, this battle is also a battle to prove himself.

She will use her actual combat performance to prove to those who doubt her that her overall abilities in command, leadership, battlefield combat, etc. are not inferior to those of other "Obsidian Five" members.

Thanos also noticed the Superstar's boiling desire to fight, but he didn't take it to heart.

Now, all his attention was focused on the reality gem that was placed in the underground fortification by the United Government.

Thanos, who has mastered the two gems of power and space, has a certain ability to sense the location of the reality gems.

Although perhaps because of being in an alien dimension, this sensing ability has been weakened.

But he could still tell which military base the Reality Gem was currently in.

Even so, to be cautious, Thanos ordered the fleet to launch the attack first.

Hundreds of Chitauri warships launched an attack on the United Government warships cruising in high orbit around planet FN-115 with an unstoppable force.

The raid happened quite suddenly, aided by the power of Thanos' Space Stone.

By the time the United Government reacted, the two fleets were already quite close.

What made it even more difficult for the United Government to cope with was that the Chitauri warships of Thanos's forces had no intention of engaging in any conventional "ship-to-ship gunfire bombardment" at all.

Instead, it directly launched a suicidal "battleship collision".

That's right, they turned the force field shield of the Chitauri battleship to maximum power, then aimed it at the United Government battleship and rammed it hard.

If you want to win as quickly as possible, you must use unconventional means.

Ordinary "naval gun battles" often turn into an "energy reserve consumption war" between the two fleets because of the existence of energy shields and force field shields.

The outcome of a fleet engagement often depends on the numbers of both sides, and the frequency and density of firepower projection.

According to conventional means, it is not difficult for Thanos' fleet, which has more than 800 warships, to win.

But Thanos doesn't have that much time to waste.

So the supergiant used his powerful mental control ability to control his own crew members on nearly a hundred Chitauri warships and launched a suicide attack.

The effect was undoubtedly significant. The purely physical impact broke through the outer armor of the United Government warship extremely quickly.

The force field shields and energy shields equipped on the warships of both sides had no resistance to this purely physical collision.

Based on previous combat experience with the United Government forces, Thanos knew that the individual combat power of the Chitauri battleship was slightly inferior to that of the United Government battleship.

It is mainly reflected in energy and power systems.

But this time the combat effect was unexpectedly good.

The one hundred Chitauri warships and the 48 United Government warships on combat readiness cruise had a one-to-one combat loss ratio.

This United Government warship on combat readiness cruise was not equipped with those troublesome Interstellar Legion soldiers.

Those metal cans are definitely the nightmare of all conventional battleship fleets during battleship "boarding operations".

After destroying 48 United Nations warships on combat readiness cruise with overwhelming force.

Before the rest of the anchored United Government fleet could switch to combat status, more than 700 Chitauri warships came crushing over like a mountain.

Even though the coalition government's garrison fleet put up an extremely tenacious resistance.

But under the absolute superiority of firepower suppression, the ships were still blown up one after another.

After dealing with the United Government warships in outer space, the ground resistance within the atmosphere seemed to be lackluster.

In the era of interstellar civilization, interstellar battleships are extremely important for the military defense of a planet.

Hundreds of Chitauri warships fired their main guns at the same time, instantly destroying all the surface fortifications of a military base.

Tens of thousands of coalition government troops disappeared along with the surrounding fortifications and facilities before they even had time to put up a resistance.

Even after leading his army to land on the surface of the planet, Thanos still found it hard to believe that the war would go so smoothly.

On the contrary, the superstar on the side felt that the United Government Forces were nothing special.

'He is General Corvus Glaive after all. Ebony Maw and the others' command is rubbish.

Or is it that Thanos is too old and can no longer keep up with the times?'

The overwhelming victory of the battle made the superstar feel more and more inflated.

Now, she no longer bothers to be compared with the other four members of the "Obsidian Five".

Even the look he gave Thanos was no longer so respectful and humble.

"Sir, we inspected the battlefield and found something unexpected."

The report from the frontline officers caught the attention of Thanos, the Supergiant.

"what's the situation?"

"Judging from the barely recognizable corpses on the battlefield.

The main force of the enemy forces seems to be clones.

At least that's the case with enemy ground forces."

"What? Clones?"

After hearing this, Thanos' heart skipped a beat and he felt something was wrong.

The superstar standing next to him didn't think it was a big deal.

"Clone troopers?

No wonder the coalition government has such a large military force.”

The fighters of the main force of the coalition government army are all so-called "citizen fighters".

The combat capability is far beyond what the clones can compare to.

Using clones instead of more elite main forces to guard the planet where such important strategic materials as the Reality Gem are stored?

Thanos always felt that something was wrong.

There was no time to explain to the superstar, or rather, Thanos was not prepared to explain to her at all.

Thanos activated the power of the gem and rushed towards the direction of the reality gem he sensed.

However, the moment he rushed into the underground fortifications, his connection with the Reality Stone was suddenly interrupted.

At the last moment, Thanos barely caught a glimpse of a tall humanoid metal creature, which disappeared instantly under the influence of several metal cylinders suspended in the air.

An inexplicable panic began to fill Thanos' heart.

The superstars on the surface are still wondering why Thanos is making such a fuss.

"The older you get, the less courageous you become..."

I couldn't stop having disrespectful thoughts towards Thanos in my mind.

The next second, she saw the ground beneath her feet split apart and the mountains in the distance suddenly collapsed.

A violent energy is suddenly erupting from deep within the earth.

The earth cracked and the sky collapsed, and the whole world began to shake violently.

The supergiant then realized that the planet beneath his feet had exploded.
