Chapter 279 Novel Plant Vehicles (4K)
“I see. No wonder plant civilizations chose to inhabit inland seas,” he said slowly. “As long as they are in the deep sea, they have nothing to fear from fire!”

Fang Ying nodded.

"Yes, in that continental war many years ago, the plant civilization also fought against human forces in a large lake."

After patrolling the area, the fighter group returned to the deck of the Tomorrow.

Li Ye began planning how to garrison the desert area.

He quickly came up with a solution.

Find a flat area in the desert, construct a giant fortress directly using building gel, and then send troops to garrison it.

The flat land is mostly covered by rock layers, otherwise annoying plants and giant fish would suddenly attack from underground at any time.

Li Ye immediately selected a location and arranged for the Engineer to build a fortress.

For the next three days, the forces of the Tomorrow Alliance relied on the fortress to fight against the giant fish and plants that had invaded the desert area.

To Li Ye's surprise,
As a new day dawned, a reconnaissance plane discovered new information.

"Reporting, Lord! I have discovered the land forces of a plant civilization on the coast!" he exclaimed.

Like the hilly areas, the desert areas are also adjacent to the inland sea areas, which is why plant civilizations can easily invade the desert areas.

"What did you say? Marines?"

Li Ye thought for a moment that he hadn't heard clearly.

His expression changed only after the other person repeated it again.

Li Ye went directly to Fang Ying.

"Dr. Fang Ying, does this plant civilization actually have a land force?"

Fang Ying nodded.

"Yes, why don't we go and take a look?"

Li Ye considered things much more than Fang Ying. This time, he took the entire flight squadron and Sky Falcon 01 with him, and also called on three Prometheus aircraft patrolling the desert area.

Ordinary land forces can only rely on fortresses for defense, while only mechanical giants like Prometheus can advance safely across the desert.

"Let's wipe out these plants in one fell swoop!" Li Ye said.

Soon, the fighter jet group arrived at its destination.

What appeared before Li Ye at this moment was a vast army of plants.

As the pilot said, these plants are indeed of the tank or armored vehicle type.

Following the illustrations, the two identified what each of these things was.

The bark carbonizes like composite armor, the root system forms a track structure, and the trunk grows horizontally to form a cannon barrel, making it an iron birch siege tank.

A thorn assault vehicle with a giant cactus base and a surface covered with hydraulically driven retractable steel spikes.

A self-propelled artillery vehicle with a giant mushroom-shaped turret and an adjustable canopy.

The bamboo joints are stacked to form an electromagnetic acceleration track, and the bamboo leaves serve as heat sinks. The magnetic track bamboo sniper vehicle has faint current fluctuations all over its body.

A moss-covered surface, a moss-invisible reconnaissance vehicle that can change color with the environment.

The plant civilization's land vehicles are so diverse that they are dazzling.

“Although they are land-based vehicles, they are still living organisms,” Fang Ying added.

Li Ye shook his head repeatedly.

Behind this plant-based land combat vehicle followed dozens of giant tree-men, each over a hundred meters tall.

At this very moment, this massive army of plants is advancing across the desert.

The root tracks of the Iron Birch Siege Tank were deeply embedded in the sand dunes, the carbonized bark armor gleaming like obsidian in the sunlight. Sand grains vitrified under the crushing weight of its root tracks, producing soft crackling sounds. The tree trunks rose slightly, seemingly searching for a target.

The thorn assault vehicle advanced at an eerie rhythm, the steel spikes on the cactus base extending and contracting with temperature changes, the daytime heat causing the spikes on their surface to fully extend.

The moss-covered camouflage reconnaissance vehicles achieved perfection in the desert. When stationary, they blended seamlessly into the contours of the dunes, and when moving, the moss on their surfaces quickly turned to sand, leaving only fleeting traces behind them.

The giant tree-people followed closely behind the plant vehicle, their trunks towering like small mountains, their cracked bark displaying a bronze-rust hue in the blazing sun. Their movements were erratic and rhythmic, accompanied only by the earth's groans of unbearable burden.

Just as Li Ye was about to order the air force to bomb the plant army, an alarm suddenly sounded in the cabin.

Li Ye immediately rushed into the cabin.

"what happened?"

The pilot pointed to the radar screen in astonishment.

"My lord, look!"

Looking out from the field, I saw a dense array of light spots on the screen.

The scene shifts to the sky, where a massive swarm of fighter jets from the plant civilization arrives.

The petals harden into wings and fuselage, the tail is equipped with a spore propulsion device, and the fuselage is a dandelion-shaped attack aircraft with streamlined seed pods.

The main body is an elongated oval shape, and the nose part resembles a giant lotus seedpod, hence the name "Lotus Seed Bomber".

The Ghost Vine Fighter is a creature whose vines are woven into a delta wing structure and whose leaves can be optically camouflaged.

The Thunder Acorn Attack Aircraft is a machine with an outer shell made of an acorn that can store electricity and a top propeller that can attract lightning.

A suspended honeycomb mother tree that houses countless small, bud-shaped plant drones.

Upon seeing the massive wave of plant-based fighter jets approaching, Li Ye's lips twitched involuntarily.

He never imagined that the Tomorrow Alliance would have to compete with a group of plants for air superiority.

"Dr. Fang Ying, is this plant civilization a super monster civilization?" he asked.

Seeing Fang Ying shake her head, his expression changed slightly. "Even this doesn't count?"

“Yes, it doesn’t count.” Fang Ying nodded. “As for why it doesn’t count, you’ll find out soon enough.”

With Li Ye's command, the Tomorrow Alliance's air force immediately engaged in battle with the plant-based fighters.

The two sides' fighter jets engaged in fierce combat at high altitude, the roar of their engines tearing through the sky.

The dandelion fighters were the first to attack, diving down from the stratosphere in a near-suicidal descent, their streamlined seed pods gleaming in the blazing sun.

Just as a Shadow Falcon fighter jet locked onto a target, the enemy suddenly disintegrated in mid-air. The hardened petals that made up the wings and fuselage exploded like shrapnel, and countless seed bullets pierced through the Shadow Falcon fighter jet's armor.

The Shadow Falcon fighter jet immediately began to plummet, trailing black smoke, and the pilot ejected and parachuted to safety. Meanwhile, the Dandelion fighter jet quickly returned to its original shape, its tail spore thrusters spewing out fluorescent blue flames as it used the high-altitude winds to complete a 180-degree turn.

Several shadows appeared in the clouds, and the lotus-shaped bomber appeared silently.

Their bloated bellies split open, dropping countless bombs. These bombs burst open in mid-air, releasing countless corrosive spores that formed a verdant mist.

Once the Tomorrow Alliance fighter jet is stuck, its outer shell will peel off like melted wax.

A Ghost Vine fighter jet ambushed a Shadow Falcon fighter jet from a blind spot, its thorny vines coiling around its thrusters like living snakes, firmly binding it.

At the same time, the propellers on top of the Thunder Acorn attack aircraft began to spin faster, guiding the static electricity accumulated in the clouds to form a giant lightning chain in the clear sky.

The plant-based fighters employ a variety of unpredictable attack methods, putting the Tomorrow Alliance's air force in a precarious position.

Looking out into the distance, one can see the plant-based land forces still advancing.

Meanwhile, their own bomber groups were unable to break away and launch bombing raids due to being entangled by enemy aircraft.

"We can't let these plant vehicles advance any further! Swift Sword combat mechs, find a way to stop them!"

Upon receiving the order, the Swift Sword mech, which was originally engaged in battle with the plant-based fighters, quickly broke away from the enemy and swooped down from the sky.

In their fighter jet form, they swept forward rapidly, their forward-swept wings cutting through the air, and their vectoring nozzles leaving trails of azure flames behind them.

The sand and dust were stirred up by the shock wave, forming a rolling sand wave.

The 12.7mm machine gun on the nose of a Swift Sword mech fired first, and bullets rained down on the Iron Birch Siege Tank on the ground. The bullets pierced the bark armor and splashed sticky resin sap.

The Iron Birch Tank's root tubes suddenly lifted, unleashing a supersonic seed armor-piercing round. But the Swift Sword mech performed a sideways roll, its fuselage flashing almost along the trajectory of the bullet. Simultaneously, its belly missile bay opened, releasing several small ground-attack missiles that spiraled out, accurately striking the Iron Birch Tank's root tracks and exploding, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Before the dust had even settled, the Swift Sword mech began to transform. The dark blue fluorescent patterns at the joints suddenly lit up, the armor reassembled, the forward-swept wings retracted, and the leg joints quickly extended—within 0.5 seconds, it had switched to mech mode.

A roar came from nearby as a Thorn Assault Vehicle charged in from the flank, its steel spikes spinning like a meat grinder, stirring up sand and dust to form a small whirlwind.

The Swift Sword mech's right arm swiftly extended a retractable combat blade, its blade breaking the sound barrier the instant it was drawn, severing the main spike cluster of the Thorn Chariot with a piercing bang. At the same time, the 40mm grenade launcher on its left arm rose, aimed, and fired, blasting the chariot's cactus-like base into pieces.

Immediately afterwards, the mech switched back to fighter jet mode, its thrusters fully open, and the machine shot towards the giant tree-man like an arrow. Missile bays fired all their missiles, machine guns swept across the battlefield, and while the giant tree-man was overwhelmed, the fighter jet rapidly climbed, tracing a graceful arc amidst the fiery explosions of the tree-man's body, before disappearing into the clouds.

Not only the Swift Sword mech, but the other mechs also performed with great agility and quickness, constantly switching forms and firing on the battlefield, firmly entangled with the plant vehicles.

A series of tremors came from afar, and the three Prometheus units finally arrived at the battlefield.

The steel feet of these mechanical giants sank deep into the sea of ​​sand, each step causing an earthquake-like roar, while the giant gear cores on their chests spun wildly, scattering sparks onto the scorching yellow sand.

A Prometheus multi-barreled rotating cannon roared, its shells tearing a charging group of Thorn Chariots to shreds.

The other Prometheus launched its mechanical claws at the Iron Birch Tank with a deafening roar. Hydraulically driven steel fingers, like five heavy swords, pierced the tank's body. With a chilling, twisting sound, the entire plant tank completely collapsed and tore to pieces under the immense force.

The third Prometheus accelerated its charge, its heavy steel body carving deep furrows in the desert. With its powerful kinetic energy, it swung its right fist, striking the giant treant's body squarely.

A massive shockwave spread across the tree, causing the giant tree-man to stagger violently and nearly fall over.

But it was not to be outdone, and directly extended dozens of giant roots with a diameter of more than five meters from the ground, piercing directly at Prometheus.

The latter's hydraulic system hissed as a giant mechanical claw shot out at an astonishing speed, precisely clamping down on the thickest main root in mid-air.

Amidst the whistling sound of gears meshing, the steel body and the plant body clashed fiercely, sap and hydraulic fluid mingling and spraying out.

As the steam piston charged to its limit, Prometheus pulled his right fist back and then slammed it out!

The punch struck the giant tree-man's trunk, causing its bark to burst open and wood chips to fly everywhere like shrapnel.

The giant tree-man also launched a counterattack. One of its branches suddenly hardened and swept across like a battering ram, slamming heavily onto Prometheus's breastplate.

In an instant, the rivets flew off and the steel plate dented.

The two colossal creatures were locked in a primal, brute-force confrontation, the screeching of gears and the cracking of wood mingling together. Prometheus's back steam pipes were overloaded, the pressure gauge needle breaking through the red zone. Meanwhile, the giant tree-man's sap dripped like blood from the cracks in its trunk, silently seeping into the gaps between Prometheus's joints.

The aerial battle was equally intense, but the situation soon changed.

Mobile Suit Skyhawk 01 charged into the battlefield, its massive attitude vector thrusters spewing out a dark blue tail flame, and the supersonic shockwave instantly shattered two Dandelion fighters.

Their bodies shattered like paper under the pressure burst; before the spore propulsion system could even ignite, the bodies were torn into fibrous debris.

Inside the cabin, Changfeng was operating the controls with complete concentration.

The Tianjun 01 then unleashed its full firepower.

The multi-missile bays on the aircraft unfolded, and countless missiles were launched to attack the plant fighters.

Immediately afterwards, it picked up its high-energy pulse sniper cannon and blasted through the belly of a Lotus-shaped bomber. The latter's corrosive sporangia exploded high in the air, scattering into a deadly green acid rain. Meanwhile, the Tianjun 01's plasma fluid control system activated instantly, forming an ionized protective film on the armor surface, causing the pouring venom to evaporate into vapor.

When several Ghost Vine fighter jets attacked, the Sky Falcon 01 high-frequency vibration blade was drawn and swiftly and decisively cleaved them in half one after another.

The Ghost Vine Fighter went out of control and crashed to the ground. Their optical camouflage blades were still trying to mimic the colors of the environment, but their broken bodies had already sprayed out a large amount of dark purple sap that resembled blood.

The Thunder Acorn attack aircraft attempted to gather its last strength to launch a lightning chain attack, but its energy was absorbed by the high-energy capacitor battery of the Sky Falcon 01.

Under high-energy overload conditions, the sniper cannon of the Sky Falcon 01 became incredibly powerful, emitting a huge beam that instantly hit several Thunder Acorn attack aircraft, causing them to explode in a chain reaction at high altitude.

Single-handedly, the Sky Falcon 01 gradually gained control of the air battlefield.

With the enemy fighter groups no longer holding them back, Tomorrow Alliance's bomber groups were able to break free and begin bombing the plant vehicles on land.
