Colonia Storm Tour

Therefore, they can see orcs wrestling with each other in the photos due to the bewitching force field. However, this kind of wrestling is much bloodier than the philosophical kind. It is completely about tearing the other party to pieces. As for the orcs attacking friendly vehicles, they can be seen in the photos raising both fists to smash or alternately punching the armor of the vehicle with their left and right fists.

The more vulnerable Stinger drones were knocked askew by the berserkers, while some Stinger drones that took the full force of the punches were rendered immobile. Others were dismantled and destroyed by the berserkers, who treated them like fat chickens.

Not only were the berserkers bewitched, but as mentioned earlier, even robots were not immune to the bewitching effect. Therefore, the Stinger drones also used dissolving rays to "forgive" the berserkers. The condition of the berserkers hit by the dissolving rays clearly made magicians such as Hua Zhizi present feel terrified.

After a very burly berserker was hit in the head by the dissolving ray, the affected area began to dissolve as if corroded by sulfuric acid, releasing green liquid that floated out. This made the berserker's movements even more exaggerated and violent. He almost roared in inaudible pain as he dismantled the bewitched Stinger drone. Then, the other bewitched Stinger drones fired dissolving rays at the berserker.

This berserker, like cheese and cake exposed to excessive heat, waved his hands and slapped at the green water in front of him, which had dissolved into a puddle that was no longer recognizable, like a drowning person.

"Even from just one photo, I can feel the terror and despair of this madman as he was dissolved into a pool of green slime."

Charlotte looked at the photo with lingering fear as the berserker was dissolved into a pool of green water.

"The deterrent effect of this weapon is no less than that of chemical weapons."

You Huazhi believes that anyone who sees the fate of this berserker being dissolved would not want to face such a weapon without any protective measures.

"Not only are there dissolving rays, but you should also look at the fifth photo."

Alice doesn't need to switch photos herself; Odin will switch them for her.

The Fraxinus EX's shipboard AI immediately switched the photos the crew was looking at to the fifth one Alice had mentioned, and then showed soldiers who exuded an oppressive aura comparable to the Reapers and Beastmen.

The soldier's hemispherical armor covered his entire face, and his eyes emitted an eerie orange light. His upper body was covered by a half-coverage radiation protection armor, and he wore a thick radiation insulation suit. His power armor had a red hammer and sickle symbol on the chest, and he held a weapon that resembled a rocket engine. The area that could be considered the muzzle was radiating a layer of orange light similar to sunlight.

The photo shows the soldier using a weapon slung over his shoulder to fire an orange beam that resembles a planar coil, striking a berserker. The berserker is then dissolved as if hit by a dissolving ray, turning into a pool of faintly orange fluorescent liquid covering the lunar surface. Without any struggle or scream, the berserker is simply dissolved.

"Switch to the sixth photo, and there's something even more shocking."

Alice calmly watched the berserkers being dissolved by the radiation cannon.

After switching to the sixth photo, everyone can see several of these soldiers crouching on the ground and plunging their weapons into the earth. In an instant, the lunar surface glows with an orange light rarely seen on the moon. Then, a chilling scene unfolds: small groups of the bewitched orcs begin to show obvious signs of pain within seconds, and then dissolve into "orange juice" once again on the glowing orange ground.

"Is this... an even more powerful dissolving ray?"

Gardenia swallowed hard.

"The dissolving ray was developed primarily from this type of weapon. First, the infantrymen, called radiation engineers, are the bane of all organic life forms. They are equipped with heavy anti-radiation suits that can resist any radiation-related dangers. Using a shoulder-fired radiation cannon, they can melt any infantryman into a pile of slag within seconds. This powerful radiation can even damage armored vehicles, and radiation cannons can be deployed to inject lethal radiation into the ground, making it extremely dangerous for any infantry or vehicle attempting to pass through the affected area. Needless to say, this radiation damages the environment; this equipment is an integral part of the ecosystem."

Alice added here: "See these darker-colored infantry? They're called Eradicators. They use experimental radiation cannons that are so powerful they leak radiation. Not only is their range increased, but the radiation they produce will constantly harm units that are not resistant to radiation, and they also have a larger radiation spread range."

At this point, Alice muttered to herself, "Why is Epsilon able to produce Radiation Engineers and Eradicators? I remember Epsilon didn't continue using radiation technology units like Radiation Engineers."

Lin Haiyuan was just as puzzled as she was about how the AI ​​at Epsilon Base could create radiation engineers, since he hadn't given Epsilon Base the authority to build radiation engineers and eradicates.

Alice wanted to ask Lin Haiyuan if he had secretly strengthened Epsilon, but given the current situation, she couldn't ask and had to put it aside for the time being.

"This looks so crazy, it's like a weapon that only a demon from hell would use."

Charlotte's voice trembled as she spoke.

"You need to consider the background of our project, which aims to defeat the enemy in a nuclear war and rebuild the country. The most important aspect is the control of radiation. We not only have a way to restore the erratic Geiger counter to normal, but we can also use radiation as a highly efficient killing weapon. Your fathers must have participated in a lot of similar nuclear war evacuation training. Also, being merciful to the enemy is the greatest cruelty to oneself."

Alice's final, chilling warning brought these people back to their senses.

If the purpose of using radiation weapons was to kill the enemy, it seemed quite normal at that time, because once both sides dropped nuclear weapons on each other, it meant that the whole world had completely broken off relations. As for what means to use to kill one's enemy, it was probably not bound by the treaties that the signatories themselves had violated, because the deadly radiation produced by nuclear explosions was originally intended to kill the enemy for a long time. It was not strange that it was now being used separately as a unique radiation weapon.

After the radiation engineers and eradicators' horrifying visual experience subsided, everyone soon saw tanks also racing across the lunar battlefield: Opus, Mantis, and Whiplash tanks were all on the field.

However, the Opstank performed poorly because the Berserker's skin could effectively withstand tank shells, and only the Mantis light tank and the Whiplash light tank had a relatively good effect.

The Whiplash light tank has a small spiked roller at the front of its tracks. As soon as a Frenzied Orc gets close to the Whiplash light tank's spiked roller, the uncontrolled tank will immediately drive the engine at full power to crush and roll it with the spiked roller. After repeating this several times, a Frenzied Orc sticker with holes everywhere will appear on the ground. Radiation engineers and eradicators will both end up in the same way, but both have the opportunity to destroy each other.

Boss La's Mantis Tank, on the other hand, has three short mine-clearing shovels at the front. These shovels are extremely sharp, and even a berserker wouldn't fare well if it crashed into one.

"The tank equipped with a mine-clearing shovel is called the Mantis. Another type of tank with a front-mounted spiked roller is called the Whiplash. Finally, this type of tank is called the Opus, which uses a twin-mounted 100mm smoothbore gun. This was the new tank we planned to replace the Type 59 tank. However, due to insufficient firepower and armor, we abandoned it after building a prototype."

Alice briefly introduced the three basic tanks of the Epsilon faction.

"Ah."

Gardenia and the other magicians didn't feel much when they saw these tanks, which weren't exactly unorthodox.

Behind these grid arrays are a few railgun turrets and plasma cutters, as well as the Shrike Air Defense Nest for air defense operations. The Shrike air defense drones are not driven by cyclone engines, but by rocket engines to complete their missions. To the left and right of these defensive facilities are several Megalodon Reinforcement Towers, and the Megalodon mechs of the Mad Shark Vanguard are rushing to the front line.

"Orbital turrets, plasma cutters... what are those unfamiliar turrets and mechs...?"

Gardenia asked, puzzled.

"That tower is called the Megalodon Enhancement Tower, and Megalodon is also the name of that type of unmanned melee mech. The purpose of this tower is to create a large-scale Megalodon Arena, which not only protects all Megalodons within the range and increases their speed, but also gives them an energy field. If any infantry gets close to this energy field and cannot withstand the resistance, they will be instantly crushed by the violent energy. The Megalodon mech uses plasma blades to deal with the enemy."

Alice went a little further than before to introduce the Megalodon mech and the Megalodon enhancement tower.

"Based on the above, we have indeed discovered a Foehn Wind base, and this base belongs to the Mad Shark Vanguard that we originally designated..."

Oudin's statement had the final say on all the judgments.

Without a doubt, the Foehn Base on the far side of the moon belongs to the Mad Shark Vanguard...

There will only be one update today.

Damn it, it's raining, which is just adding insult to injury...

The Mad Shark Vanguard is coming soon.

Chapter Twenty-One: The Dazed Shark (IX)

Chapter 21: Trance Haihead

"……………………This matter needs to be discussed with Lin the Madman. Ou Ting, contact him and transfer the communication here."

Alice creates an opportunity for the nanobots to appear, and then Lin Haiyuan, using Artemisia's body, controls the nanobots to speak.

"yes…………"

Just a few seconds after Odin placed his hand on the headset, "Lin Haiyuan" appeared on the holographic projection in front of Alice and on the monitor of "FraxinusEX".

"Why are you calling me in such a hurry? Did you find something amazing on the moon? By the way, what's with that outfit?"

Lin Haiyuan pretended not to have been told about the situation on the moon.

"Let's talk about dressing up later. Now, let's get down to business. We did find some good stuff on the moon, and the appearance of these good stuff was quite a surprise."

Alice pulled a holographic projection showing photos taken at the Epsilon headquarters guard base to her side.

"After our GLONASS satellite system scanned the lunar surface, it discovered unusual shadows in the satellite images. To find out what these unusual shadows were, the completed Fraxinus EX on Jost Vandersk Island came in handy. Upon arriving on the moon, it was the first to discover..."

She enlarged the photos of the venomous lice and the lunar berserkers she saw on the crater so that Lin Haiyuan could see them more clearly.

"The traces of gene mutation and cloning are very obvious..."

Lin Haiyuan frowned and put his hands together in the same pose as Commander Ikari.

"Let me explain it to you in detail. FraxinusEX quickly discovered this genetically mutated worm in a crater where an unidentified shadow had appeared in satellite photos. This genetically mutated worm would spray out highly corrosive toxins stored in its cyst glands through self-destruction. We quickly eliminated all the genetically mutated worms, as well as the tunnels that these worms had dug themselves."

After eliminating these insects, FraxinusEX traveled to the shadowy area formed by the lunar mountains and discovered swarms of mutated clones. However, this time we did not immediately choose to eliminate the mutated clones. Instead, we deployed a set of autonomous cameras and a World Tree Leaf to follow the mutated clones, while we searched for their origin in the opposite direction.

Finally, we stopped at a place with enough spacious, flat ground to build a large complex base. None of us saw anything there, but Battalion Commander Artemisia and Political Commissar Youhua Zhizi told us that they had a strange feeling from the beginning that nothing existed there. Later, as you know, Odin asked you for confirmation and received a reply from the mind-illusion device.

Alice paused here.

"That's why you asked me if I had a mind illusion device that could hide units and buildings over a large area, and then?"

Lin Haiyuan pressed for an answer.

"Later, we deactivated the warships' camouflage and automatic evasion, intending to force the invisible objects to reveal themselves using a random field. However, as soon as we deactivated, a fully armed base with sufficient anti-aircraft weapons appeared before our eyes. Judging from the Gatling guns, Antares turrets, and Infernal anti-aircraft platforms, it's safe to say that our sample base, due to an unforeseen accident, ended up on the moon and went out of control... The result of this loss of control was the creation of those monsters, and an immediate attack on our airships. While dodging the attacks, we also discovered our ascendant fleet, and even many weapons that had been put into storage reappeared to attack us. After using a little trick to escape the attack, we used the method I just mentioned to force a mind-controlled..." The entire hidden base of the astronomical device was exposed, and then it was attacked by the evil spirit's lair and my genetically mutated clones. Later, we had Battalion Commander Artemisia infiltrate the construction site with the Clairvoyant drone, and then teleported seven magicians to the construction site command room to assist in the defense. After almost destroying the entire base's defense facilities and some of its facilities, the construction site was on the verge of collapse before we were able to regain control of the base. This out-of-control AI even tried to destroy its own construction site with the defense facilities. If it weren't for Fraxinus EX protecting it with his random domain, we might not have been able to obtain more intelligence. Next, we steadily regained control of the second base, and Odin learned a great deal from the database in the second base..."

Alice tapped the holographic projection beside her with her knuckles: "Those bugs were named 'Poisonous Explosion Lice' by the AI ​​of the out-of-control base. These genetically mutated clones with ridiculously high muscle mass are called 'Beastmen.' And then there's this monster that looks like a facehugger, but it's not as scary as in that movie. At most, it's just a slightly special military dog. I won't go into detail about these three things. Right now, what we're most concerned about is the Foehn Wind Base on the far side of the moon... Odin should have sent all the photos to the Colonia flank air base by now."

Alice waited for Lin Haiyuan's reaction after saying this.

Lin Hai pretended to be completely focused as he carefully examined the holographic projection—he already knew the message it was trying to convey.

After waiting for a minute, Lin Haiyuan in the video looked up at them and said.

“I have learned all the details. I didn’t expect that not only did three sample bases end up on the moon, but our Mad Shark Vanguard base also came to the moon, and it has been on the far side of the moon all along. If it is on the far side of the moon, then we can understand why we have not been able to find the Mad Shark Vanguard. However, there is a problem here.”

Lin Haiyuan placed his right hand on the table and stretched back comfortably in his office chair.

"Problem? What problem?"

Alice asked.

"Because this defensive style is unlike the Wild Shark Vanguard, which favors fierce and rapid attacks to destroy the enemy, rather than investing too many troops and resources in defense. This is the fighting style of the Last Fortress."

Lin Haiyuan found it very strange that the Mad Shark Vanguard did not attack, because they possessed the most terrifying steel behemoth in the Burning Wind: MADMAN. This type of weapon, called the Mutually Assured Destruction Mechanized Area Extinction Weapon, could easily flatten an entire base or even most of it once it was detonated near these Epsilon bases. Moreover, the Mad Shark Vanguard was fully capable of withstanding the attack and sending the MADMAN to a suitable detonation location.

The combination of the Megalodon mech and the Megalodon reinforcement tower is enough to make any MADMAN Epsilon infantryman who wants to destroy the mechs feel their scalp tingling. Even those Reapers with long-range attack capabilities can be paired with swarms of Mineral Beetles to repair damaged mechs and drones. Even if the AI ​​can focus fire and take down one Megalodon mech, there are still many more waiting. Not to mention the Enrager support vehicles that are indispensable for the Mad Shark Vanguard offensive force to interfere with the actions of these AI forces.

"Lin the Madman, what you say is true... The Mad Shark Vanguard is stuck in one place instead of attacking, which is a bit of a problem, but we don't know what the problem is. We'll probably only know after an on-site investigation."

Alice couldn't understand why the Mad Shark Vanguard, having established a certain advantage, didn't attack but instead retreated into a defensive posture.

"Currently, the location of the Mad Shark Vanguard's Foehn Wind Base can be confirmed to be on the far side of the moon. You need to have equipment that can relay communications, otherwise we will not be able to provide assistance if anything happens."

Lin Haiyuan reminded himself.

"The World Tree Leaf can handle the relay communication task, please rest assured."

Lin Haiyuan, who was using Artemisia's body, answered himself.

This feeling is really awkward, Lin Haiyuan thought to himself.

"While you can continue your mission to reclaim control of the last base, now that we've reclaimed two bases, are we capable of using our existing equipment to produce drone units to attack the third base? FraxinusEX, prepare to distribute World Tree Leaves to relay communications and then head to the far side of the moon to contact the Mad Shark Vanguard Base."

Alice gave the order.

"I understand, but the equipment in FraxinusEX is too different from all of the equipment in the game. If we suddenly appear, will we be identified as an unknown enemy and attacked?"

Lin Haiyuan naturally knew how to get certified by a friendly force from a foehn base.

"At that time, the final fortress and the flank of Colonia will transmit the authentication data stream through the World Tree Leaf of FraxinusEX. As long as they don't get close to the range of anti-aircraft weapons before the verification is completed, it will be fine."

Alice wants the Shark Vanguard Base on the moon to not see Fraxinus EX as an enemy, and transmitting authentication data streams is the most effective way to achieve this.

"The third out-of-control base is already our fish in the pot. Now we can break through and take it back with the base we recovered on the moon."

Lin Haiyuan added a sentence.

"Understood. Retract the auxiliary magic cannon. Activate camouflage and automatic avoidance. Input the flight path. Target location: Shark Vanguard Base on the far side of the moon."

After she finished speaking, the auxiliary magic cannon under the FraxinusEX warship automatically retracted into the warship, and then the baffle rotated forward to close the cannon door.

The entire warship disappeared from the moon once again amidst a mosaic of colors painted from top to bottom, quickly turning and flying towards the far side of the moon.

To ensure that the Lunar Beastmen sent to attack the Frenzy Vanguard Base could be easily eliminated, Fraxinus EX travels along the Lunar Beastmen's path.
