Colonia Storm Tour

Looking at the thick cannon barrel and the even thicker muzzle brake, the heretic knew that he was now in this small base and would not only face the fire of battleships, but also this kind of hovering artillery vehicle!

Oh shit, I forgot to post those two chapters last night! I'll be posting four chapters today.

Note: To someone unfamiliar with the Peacemaker cannon, the Sweeper drone and the Peacemaker cannon appear very similar, as neither has such a long barrel or such a large hull...

Chapter Sixty-Nine: A Chance Encounter (Part Four)

When leading a small fleet and a small force from the Traveler's hovercraft to the Akutan Islands, no siege warfare was anticipated along the way. Therefore, the Traveler's hovercraft did not carry many Peacekeeper cannons, with only two accompanying the fleet to deal with targets beyond the range of battleships. Now that the Epsilon forces have appeared in the Akutan Islands, these two Peacekeeper cannons have become quite important. The 7.62mm Gatling guns and 150mm twin cannons mounted on them will be the strongest sustained ground firepower at present.

"Warning - An unknown enemy is gathering a force consisting of tanks and a type of... frontline infantry that is unarmed but unusually strong. Be careful."

EVA immediately sent a message to Lin Haiyuan, and at the same time displayed red-framed markers at the two intersections in front of the beach, showing the Epsilon counterattack forces that were gathering. These counterattack forces consisted of Whiplash Tanks, Gatling Tanks, and Berserkers. While the Whiplash Tanks and Gatling Tanks might not have a numerical advantage or be particularly outstanding, the number of Berserkers could help them gain an advantage in combat.

Once the battlefield view is revealed, the Peacemaker's artillery sighting equipment [Holographic Target Designator] locks onto the assembled Epsilon counterattack force along with the turning turret.

"If it were a typical Pacific Front force, they would definitely suffer losses against the numerically superior and anti-armor-obsessed Berserkers. Unfortunately, I am not one of them."

As soon as Lin Haiyuan finished speaking, he saw two pairs of Epsilon counterattack forces assembled. Bright white holographic scanning marks appeared under their feet, indicating that the Peacemaker cannons had completed the firing data setting and were ready to fire. The next moment, with a comical clanging sound of cannon fire, six conical shells flew one after another, leaving white trails as they tilted towards the location marked by the holographic scanning marks.

Half a moment after the cannon fire, the Epsilon counterattack force, which was being targeted on the monitor, seemed to wake up from a dream and prepared to disperse. However, the six 150mm high-explosive shells were powerful enough to blast those who had not escaped the kill radius half to death. As the shells hit the ground and triggered the fuses, the energy of the high-energy explosives inside was immediately released, forming a spectacular explosion.

Boom! The muffled explosions echoed in the nearby sky, sending mud, fresh snow, suspicious human remains, and tank metal parts flying through the air.

Subsequently, as these human and tank parts fell into or near the craters, the first wave of counterattack by the local Epsilon was shattered by the bombardment of the Peacemaker artillery.

“Very good, their first wave of counterattack is over. EVA, I need you to locate the nearest Epsilon base and do everything you can to prevent them from organizing a second and third wave of counterattacks.”

Lin Haiyuan did not rely solely on military forces and satellite scanning to reconnoiter the entire Akutan Islands. EVA, as the commander's adjutant, also had considerable ability to share the commander's burdens. However, compared to Nod Brotherhood's CABAL and LEGION, she was slightly inferior, lacking their powerful capabilities and greater intelligence.

"Commander's orders received. Detecting the nearest radio signal source. Please wait..."

EVA immediately mobilized the communication equipment on the mobile construction vehicle and cooperated with the satellite in orbit to begin searching for wireless signal sources within the Akutan Islands that did not belong to them. Of course, Lin Haiyuan did not expect EVA to complete the reconnaissance mission quickly, because there was no battlefield radar station here to collect radio waves and complete the work faster. Therefore, he ordered the rocket infantry to be divided into three squads through the combat control system to search in the opposite direction along the two Epsilon counterattack force assembly points, while another rocket infantry squad flew directly forward to conduct reconnaissance, hoping to obtain information on the Epsilon base and troop distribution more quickly.

"If possible, we would prefer our commander to use ground armored vehicles for reconnaissance missions, as the Gatling guns are quite lethal to us."

"But reconnaissance is part of our mission, so if we encounter a Gatling gun, we should adjust the booster's output power to lower the altitude and evade it at the highest possible speed."

"Comparing speed to machine gun shells isn't a good idea. I'm in charge of searching the northern areas where there are no enemies. Good luck."

The rocket pilot squad leaders, ordered by Lin Haiyuan to search along the assembly point of the Epsilon counterattack forces, exchanged a few words over their communications before diving and flying at high speed along their designated routes. This provided Lin Haiyuan, who was in the command room of the mobile construction vehicle, with a wider field of vision and helped to dispel the fog of war. For the time being, only the sound of their rocket engines could be heard in the sky. Meanwhile, the ground troops that had landed on the beach via the Traveler hovercraft maintained a defensive posture. They would only be mobilized once the location of the Epsilon base was determined.

Lin Haiyuan paid attention to the battlefield view revealed by the two squads of rocket pilots flying forward on the two Epsilon counterattack force assembly roads. They were the scouts most likely to discover the existence of the Epsilon base. However, halfway through their flight, a barrage of bullets from Gatling guns immediately sprayed onto the rocket pilot squads that were scouting the Epsilon counterattack force assembly point on the right.

The rocket pilots, already on high alert, immediately swooped down to the ground, narrowly dodging the barrage of Gatling gun fire without a single injury, and arrived in front of the island's cliff. The Gatling gun's attacks couldn't penetrate the cliff to hit them, and of course, no one could be injured. If a rocket pilot were hit by a 30mm cannon shell, they would be instantly shattered and their fuel tanks would explode, turning into aerial fireworks. Their close-fitting white flight suits only offered some protection against small-caliber bullets.

"Oh my god, I almost thought I was going to die just now. A shell coated with tracer rounds flew over my head and waist."

"A tracer bullet almost hit my little brother, making me infertile forever... Well, it doesn't really matter if it hit there, my body would definitely be torn to pieces."

"What almost killed us just now was the twin Gatling gun mounted on the ground. Our commander should have noticed it by now."

Before the rocket pilot squad leader could finish speaking, the barrel of the Peacemaker cannon had already turned towards the Gatling gun, and a holographic scanning mark appeared around the base of the Gatling gun.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Half a moment after the sound of the Peacemaker's cannon fire, there was a deafening explosion. Fire, smoke, snow, and metal parts flew into the sky, indicating that the Gatling gun had been blasted into the air and turned into scrap metal by the Peacemaker's cannon.

"Alright, that fixed Gatling gun has been destroyed. Let's go, soldiers, our reconnaissance mission is not over yet."

The rocket pilot squad leader spoke as he slowly increased the flight altitude, flew over the cliff, and flew forward, with the other rocket pilots following closely behind.

At this moment, the rocket pilot squadron that was flying to the left to scout the assembly point of the Epsilon counterattack force was also attacked by Gatling guns. One or two people were not as lucky as the other squadron. They were directly hit in the air by a 30mm shell and turned into fragments and explosives, disappearing into the air like fireworks. This was the first loss on Lin Haiyuan's side since the start of the war.

This made Lin Haiyuan, who preferred zero casualties, shake his head. However, he still had to order these rocket pilots to go forward for reconnaissance. This was not only one of their duties, but he himself could not allow ground troops to advance unprepared for reconnaissance in the unknown Akutan Islands. He also could not wait for satellite scans to scan the entire archipelago. He had to find the Crystal Tower where Exile was located and the Epsilon Base as soon as possible.

I'd rather replace the Multi-Dragon Cannon prototype with the Peacemaker Cannon; at least the Peacemaker doesn't have that annoying lock-on time and snail-paced speed.

Chapter Seventy: A Chance Encounter (Part Five)

Rocket infantry scouts to gain vision and locate enemies, while pacifier artillery targets and bombards enemy units and buildings. If all else fails, battleships raise their 360mm cannons to blast enemies within a certain range.

This made things very difficult for the Epsilon heretics stationed on Akutan Island. These rocket infantry were as slippery as eels, difficult to catch. They could use the natural barriers formed by the high ground to avoid anti-air fire. When groups of Gatling tanks tried to clear them out, they were met with a barrage of battleship fire and routed. While intrusion saucers or Wraith attack aircraft might be able to stop the rocket infantry and Peacekeeper artillery offensive, their Epsilon Construction Yard was locked with many air unit technologies and Pandora's Nexus construction permissions, and their previous anti-air defenses were also compromised. Epsilon relied entirely on the archer boy, Gatling tanks and Gatling cannons, and piranha mini-submarines. They could have called for support from the otherworld headquarters to solve the problem, but EVA couldn't contact the otherworld headquarters. This left the Epsilon heretics in a bind, with no viable way to launch an attack to confront the enemy. As for using troops to ambush the enemy... perhaps from high altitudes, the Epsilon troops and buildings would appear as tiny specks, but for the rocket soldiers flying at low altitudes, anyone who wasn't blind could spot their troops on the white snow.

"These damn Pacific Front troops will soon be close to my base of operations following their route of advance. There is no other way but to try to pile up a large number of anti-aircraft troops to hold the cliff high ground and prevent the enemy rocket soldiers from getting close to my base of operations. I also need to build more Gatling guns."

On the giant monitor in front of the heretic, three squads of rocket infantry were approaching his combat base from the air like a trident. Although they were still some distance away, given the way the rocket infantry flew and the artillery and battleships bombarded them, it would only take 30 minutes for these rocket infantry and shells to descend upon them.

"Damn it, I should have applied to my superiors for an enhanced hyperspace teleporter. That way, we could have sent the wreckage of what might be the Burning Wind Rebels' air flagship to headquarters, and we could have used the wormhole to call for reinforcements and crush these Pacific Front troops that popped out of nowhere."

After a few complaints, the Epsilon heretics began deploying Gatling guns and more Gatling tanks. The Gatling guns could only be deployed on flat ground within the long-range construction range of the construction site.

Gatling tanks could be deployed one by one along the way to delay and wear down this Pacific Front force of rocket pilots, which is outside the EVA database records. As long as this Pacific Front army loses its only aerial reconnaissance force, it can still overwhelm this strange Pacific Front treacherous force with its familiarity with the terrain and a sufficient number of clone troops.

Just as the Epsilon heretics were pondering this, a Gatling gun had been assembled by the construction drone and began receiving wireless power. Immediately, the radar minimap on the upper right of the giant monitor in front of the heretics turned off, becoming a snowflake and then the Epsilon logo. The support skill bar, which was barely functional, also turned gray, and the power section was left with only red filler squares.

*Beep beep beep!* A piercing alarm sounded simultaneously with the EVA's communication tone: "Warning - Power outage at the psionic suppression matrix prepared for the Crystal Tower. Please restore power immediately!"

"Damn it, I forgot to set up more biochemical reaction chambers. There isn't enough power to supply more defensive facilities, causing a power outage. I need to cut off the power to this Gatling gun immediately."

Looking at the blunder they had created, the Epsilon heretics were both amused and exasperated. They hurriedly prepared to cut off the wireless power supply to the newly built Gatling gun so that all other facilities requiring electricity and the psionic suppression matrix could resume operation. Just as the psionic suppression matrix briefly failed, Exile inside the crystal tower was able to sense the outside world once again. This time, she also sensed a familiar and special psionic fluctuation on the island. It was Lin Haiyuan, whom she had been calling out to. He had already arrived on Akutan Island.

(Great! After waiting for more than two years, he has finally found this island. God help me! I must contact him immediately to tell him where I am and what the situation is here!)

She directly located Lin Haiyuan and then sent a short-wavelength psionic wave to him to establish a brief psionic communication link:

"Psionicist, psionicist! This is a communication message I sent while I was outside, sent by the psionic suppression forces. I am here. Please come here to find me as soon as possible. There is an organization called Epsilon around my sealing location. They discovered the crystal tower that seals me a month ago. They brought their people here through a wormhole that tore through spacetime and prepared to study me, but they failed and were all repelled by me. So they built a matrix device to suppress psionic energy that interferes with me. I don't know what they plan to do next to the crystal tower where I exist. They are also building a military base around the matrix to turn this place into a forbidden zone. Please defeat them as soon as possible and destroy the psionic suppression matrix device or cut off its power supply. Finally, please be careful. They are preparing a large number of armored units called Gatling tanks to wait for you and your soldiers."

After Exile sent this message, the psionic suppression matrix device was restored to normal power, and her perception of the surrounding world once again fell into endless chaos.

Sitting inside the command room, Lin Haiyuan was slightly stimulated by her short-wavelength, high-energy psionic wave. Her words and the world he saw (sensed) appeared in his mind at the same time.

She's there! No wonder I didn't say a word when I got near her; it turns out there was a psychic suppression device preventing her psychic energy from functioning properly, making it impossible for her to speak using psychic energy. Good.

Although Lin Haiyuan did not actually know the exact location of the Crystal Tower on the radar minimap with his naked eye, he slid his view along the terrain to a general location and immediately used the satellite scan function in the support skill bar. With the classic "Select Target" EVA voice line, he selected the target area and began scanning.

As the flickering scan images and wide apertures came into view, the remains of a man-made structure covered in ice and snow, a crystal tower, and the small Epsilon base she had built came into view.

*Beep beep beep!* "The crystal tower, the objective of this mission, has fallen into the hands of an unknown enemy. We must act immediately and reclaim it before they do anything to the objective!"

Before the EVA voice recordings were even finished, Lin Haiyuan immediately gathered the rocket infantry squads that were scouting in the north and northeast directions and began to concentrate in the left direction. He also ordered the troops on the beach to pack up their folding armor and gun mounts and prepare to advance from the southwest assembly point of the Epsilon counterattack force to engage the approaching enemy.

When the Epsilon heretics saw the Pacific Front troops suddenly moving in unison toward the road leading to the left flank of the base, their hearts sank.

"Could it be that the locations of the combat base and crystal tower have already been exposed?!"

This mission chapter is not long. The psionic suppression/inhibition matrix can be referenced from the crystal tower suppression device that Mobius used on the Protoss crystal tower.

Chapter Seventy-One: A Chance Encounter (Part Six)

Epsilon's conjecture was quickly confirmed by Lin Haiyuan's actions. His troops moved to the left flank of his base, and the three squads of rocket pilots who were originally on reconnaissance missions stopped their brave but reckless reconnaissance advance, which was likely to cause heavy losses. Instead, they followed the ground troops a short distance behind, clearly trying to minimize the chance of Gatling guns and Gatling tanks attacking them. This also meant that the Pacific Front forces on the other side no longer needed to conduct any reconnaissance.

"No, that's impossible. Their scouts haven't been near the combat base at all. If their scouts wanted to investigate the base, the telepathic sensors would have sent a report. So how could they know the location of the combat base and deliberately head northwest? Ah, right, the satellite!"

The Epsilon heretics quickly connected this to the fact that one of the Allied reconnaissance methods was satellites. If satellites had discovered the combat base and the crystal tower, then everything could be explained. Since the combat base was already exposed to this Pacific Front army, they must have discovered the crystal tower that was being suppressed by the psionic suppression device. As for the surrounding troop deployments, they might not have been able to see them.

"This Pacific Front force looks to be without any reinforcements. If I can eliminate their ground troops, they shouldn't be able to do anything to me."

The Epsilon heretics planned to select and move the Gatling tanks and other units deployed in the northeast to the northwest of the combat base, preparing to ambush the advancing Pacific Front forces on the high ground.

Now that the heretics have no more cards to play, they can only try to wear down the Pacific Front forces by ambushing them from high ground without any disguise. Of course, staying put and waiting to be ambushed is not an option either. So they choose to train more cloning berserkers from the barracks and cloning vats to attack the Pacific Front forces. These berserkers are the best and most powerful cannon fodder.

Thus, Epsilon's usual tactic of charging with a massive orc army soon made contact with the Pacific Front forces controlled by Lin Haiyuan, who were advancing on foot.

"My God, what a huge, muscular guy!!" "Is this thing really human? Could it be a green-skinned orc? But it doesn't look like one at all."

The SEALs spotted the charging berserker and, in amazement, opened fire on its head with their MP5 submachine guns. The 9mm bullets quickly ripped several bloody holes in the berserker's skull, knocking it to the ground. Some bullets hitting other parts of its body didn't even fully penetrate. Shooting an enemy in the head is usually the fastest way to end their life and consciousness. If a typical American police officer were using a 9mm pistol with hollow-point bullets, it would be a disaster against a berserker with increased muscle mass and hardened skin, as hollow-point bullets have very poor armor-piercing capabilities. The SEALs used 9mm full metal jacketed bullets to maximize stopping power and quickly take down unarmored targets without any collateral damage.

However, the MP5 submachine guns carried by the SEALs only had 30 rounds per magazine, so it wasn't easy for a platoon of SEALs to intercept the charging Orc army. The guards didn't dare to fire at this distance either. The explosive power of the Red Eye missiles was not as small as in the game. A close-range shot would kill themselves and their allies. In addition, there were qualified anti-infantry weapons around them, such as Snow Maiden tanks and Blizzard tanks. As for the Peacemaker artillery, it didn't have time to use the twin Gatling guns. Instead, it deployed its gun mounts to bombard the Epsilon armored vehicles that were lying in ambush on the high ground.

The sound of the Blizzard Tank and Snow Maiden Tank's inverted temperature cannons firing was indescribable, but when the icy blue condensation waves hit the berserkers, they had a devastating effect. In particular, when the condensation rays had a linear kill characteristic, these densely packed berserkers were quickly cooled and frozen into piles of berserker ice sculptures by the railgun-like linear kill effect of the condensation rays. The Blizzard Tank driver called it a soul-binding ice coffin. Then, due to the destructive power of the condensation rays, the berserkers entered a state of unconscious ecstasy and shattered into ice shards. The berserkers who were not immediately frozen into broken ice sculptures were also slowed down by frost and ultra-low temperature, buying more time for the SEALs and the Blizzard Tanks and Snow Maiden Tanks to kill them.

Soon, the first wave of berserker army assaulted the enemy, who were killed in the Soul-Binding Ice Coffins by the alternating fire of the two types of cryogenic weapons. They then shattered along with the ice coffins in unconscious ecstasy. The booming explosions of the shells also blasted the Epsilon armored vehicles that were planning to ambush them into pieces, forcing the Epsilon heretics to change their tactics. The Pacific Front forces continued to advance.

"No, ambushing them with the remaining armored vehicles on the high ground won't work. Those rocket soldiers and satellites can see the troops on the high ground clearly. We have no choice but to take a gamble. We need to disperse all the armored units and berserkers on the high ground, including the units in the base, and advance as close as possible to that Pacific Front force, so that they can't fully utilize their artillery firepower."

He believed that once his troops were engaged, the Pacific Front forces, who did not want to die at the hands of their own people, would either have to fight tooth and nail to occupy the high ground and use the terrain advantage to advance on their charging forces, allowing the battleships to bombard the ground below the high ground, or they would have to fight them head-on with their weapons and equipment, provided that their battleships and self-propelled guns did not eliminate his charging forces before they entered firing range. Advancing in a dispersed manner was only to minimize the losses suffered by his troops when they encountered artillery fire.

Meanwhile, Lin Haiyuan also received a warning message from the Allied EVA: "Warning - Enemy forces previously deployed on the high ground and cliffs have been mobilized and are advancing in a dispersed manner in an attempt to encircle the troops!"

"Good, so you know that ambushes won't work on me. You're planning to drag my troops into a protracted close-quarters battle so I can't use my artillery firepower. You've got some brains. I hope the heretics on the other side can still live and use their brains to keep fighting me."

Lin Haiyuan immediately designated the bombardment locations of six destroyers and battleships to bombard the distant high ground. The landing force was still within the range of the destroyers' guns and could provide relatively close-range artillery cover. However, at this point, the destroyers' guns were already somewhat inadequate, while the battleships' 360mm guns were still more than capable and could provide them with the same effective fire support as always.

Lin Haiyuan's plan was to deploy the Peacekeeper artillery in place, with micro-management leading the artillery fire to inflict as much damage as possible on the incoming Epsilon armored forces. Meanwhile, a squad of guards split into two groups and quickly ran up the high ground (outside the destroyer's attack coordinates) to deploy folding steel armor to form a wall for defense. The Snow Maiden tanks followed in batches to deal with the largest possible charge of the local Epsilon forces.

The "Encounter on a Narrow Path" mission is almost over.

Chapter Seventy-Two: A Chance Encounter (Part Seven)

Lin Haiyuan simultaneously deployed Allied mobile construction vehicles. With the teeth-grinding hydraulic mechanisms running and the screech of metal structures rubbing together, the mobile construction vehicles transformed into an Allied construction site in seconds.

His reason for deploying Allied mobile construction vehicles is self-evident. Relying solely on existing troops and artillery support to deal with Epsilon's charge is not enough and could easily lead to heavy casualties. He wants to temporarily organize a defensive line to assist the troops in defense. He first clicks on the Allied concrete walls to line up in a row below the passage on the high ground in front. He welcomes those Whiplash Tanks and Gatling Tanks to waste time on the concrete walls, since the purpose of building concrete walls is to stop their advance as much as possible and waste their time. In the game, you need to build barracks to build defensive buildings, but that is just a balance setting. In reality, without locked technology, you can build walls as long as you have a construction yard.

Building a vast Allied concrete wall was far less work than assembling a power plant, so the construction drones quickly erected the Allied concrete wall from the flat ground.

Then, more Allied concrete walls were built, section by section, around the guards. When their folding steel armor walls could no longer provide them with effective protection, they could try to hide behind the Allied concrete walls for temporary shelter. However, this was never as practical as the Soviet combat bunkers, which could both protect the soldiers and support the garrison in firing outwards. But there was no better option.

"This Allied commander even knows how to deploy mobile construction vehicles on the spot, and he can even build walls to block my troops and provide them with cover?!"

This was the first time the Epsilon heretic had ever seen such a scene. Considering the booming artillery fire coming from afar, he had to modify the order for the troops to split up and attack, ordering armored vehicles to attack from both sides, while some of the berserkers used their fists and feet to break through the Allied concrete walls.

At this moment, more loud or muffled gunfire rang out from the mountain roads and high ground. The bombardment from destroyers and battleships created spectacular sprays of snow, mud, metal parts, and human tissue fragments. Meanwhile, the heavily armored soldiers used their red-eye missile launchers to target the Gatling tanks and fire first. The Whiplash tanks wouldn't suppress them to the point of being unable to raise their heads, but the metal storm fired by the Gatling tanks made them afraid to even stick their hands out of the concrete walls, lest they be torn apart by the dense machine gun shells.

Bang! Bang! Thud! The Whiplash tanks began firing at the concrete walls and Blizzard tanks, while most of the Gatling tanks were destroyed by two or three Red Eye missiles before they could even fire. The armor of the Gatling tanks did not live up to the name of a tank; their protection was on par with that of infantry fighting vehicles.

The Blizzard tank, under attack, swayed slightly before turning and retreating behind the Allied concrete wall. Using its turret advantage, it opened fire on the Epsilon assault force through the wall. For the Whiplash tanks to damage the Blizzard, they would first have to breach the Allied concrete wall… And those Snow Maiden tanks disguised as small stones were not harmless. While their inversion cannons had a much shorter ground-attack range than the Blizzard, their power against armored targets was several times greater. A single shot easily pierced a frost-cracked hole in the Whiplash tank's armor. As for the Gatling tank, it needed no further explanation; a single attack nearly crippled it, with guards following up to finish it off.

As for the SEALs... don't expect them to be as anti-armor as they are in the game. Their 9mm submachine guns are far less powerful than the DSR-80 machine guns used by Allied soldiers with 7.62mm ammunition.

After Lin Haiyuan completed the construction of the Allied concrete walls as cover, he immediately built fixed artillery emplacements to supplement anti-armor firepower. As for the machine gun bunkers, they were still just heavy machine guns, not as effective as the combination of 105mm cannons and armor-piercing rounds for anti-armor purposes. The machine gun bunkers being considered defensive artifacts is just a game concept.

With the addition of fixed-point artillery emplacements built by construction drones, the threat posed by Epsilon's armored vehicle assaults to their forces decreased dramatically. Conversely, their tanks could no longer concentrate their firepower on attacking their infantry and walls; instead, they had to prioritize taking down the fixed-point artillery emplacements. This was because the 105mm AP rounds fired from the emplacements could easily cripple their vehicles within two shots. Since they lacked Stinger drones equipped with engineers for maintenance, their sustained combat capability under attack was extremely low. In contrast, the fixed-point artillery emplacements had automatic repair systems and construction drones to assist in repairs. Furthermore, with more fixed-point artillery emplacements being built, Epsilon's armored vehicles quickly became a tragedy on the battlefield. They lacked sufficient firepower to destroy a fixed-point artillery emplacement in a single attack. As for the berserkers accompanying the attack, they were even worse. Their large size meant they were easier targets, easily riddled with 105mm AP rounds and reduced to fragments. Therefore, machine gun bunkers were completely useless here, especially with Blizzard and Snow Maiden tanks watching. The berserkers' main role was simply to absorb some of the firepower.

Meanwhile, the orcs attacking the construction site in the mountain pass finally broke through the Allied concrete wall blocking their way. However, what awaited these orcs was a crossfire network of machine gun bunkers. The 12.7mm Hellhound heavy machine guns were powerful enough to ensure that an orc could be killed within a minute. Lin Haiyuan did not frantically build fixed artillery positions on the high ground on both sides because he knew that the defense below the mountain pass was weak and that more machine gun bunkers were needed to eliminate the orcs who were happily dismantling the wall.

The Epsilon heretic, seeing his troops bogged down in the quagmire, did not give up. Instead, he continued to clone berserkers and vehicle drivers using cloning vats and launched attacks, intending to overwhelm Lin Haiyuan's Pacific Front forces with an seemingly endless sea of ​​soldiers until they ran out of ammunition and supplies. However, the Epsilon heretic failed to notice that his resources for producing clones and vehicles were also limited and would soon be depleted in large quantities in battles with insufficient follow-up income. Even if he had noticed this, he would still continue to produce troops without hesitation to continue the assault, because once he slowed down or stopped the offensive, his own demise would be imminent. His self-propelled artillery and warships were fully capable of unleashing a barrage of shells on the ceiling of the construction site.

After this war of attrition lasted for about half an hour, the Epsilon forces' offensive intensity slowed down significantly. An hour later, the Epsilon forces stopped pouring out, as if they had all died and were no longer able to fight.

Through the battlefield view on the giant monitor, Lin Haiyuan could see that Epsilon's cloning vats, barracks, and war factories showed no signs of restarting. This meant that the enemy's resources for producing clones and vehicles had been exhausted, and now they could only wait to die. Perhaps they could try to salvage all the buildings and launch a massive charge with their base vehicles. However, the slowing effect of the condensation rays from the Snow Maiden Tank and Blizzard Tank was outstanding. No matter how sturdy Epsilon's mobile construction vehicles were, there was always a limit to how they could be destroyed... Although Lin Haiyuan said he would rather eliminate the people inside the Epsilon construction facility and then take over the facility for his own use.

The battle is entering its final stages.
