Chapter 48 An Unexpected Ally
Facing Fang Senyan's inquiry, Mogansha quickly replied:
"None left. Currently, there are only three Tongue Spire bunkers. I suggest we take out the one to the west first; it can't be covered by the other two spire towers. Besides that, I haven't discovered any Flame Lurkers. They should all be concentrated in the Red T纹 Tribe base."
What followed could only be described as a complete and utter rout. More importantly, Reef was beginning to feel the benefits of cooperating with Fang Senyan, namely that the risks he took were greatly reduced. To be precise, what was originally a 100% risk turned into a 50% split between the two of them. This was fully demonstrated when attacking the two Tongue Spire bunkers that followed:
Once Reef's health dropped to 50%, he and Mogansha would immediately retreat from the Tongue Spire's attack range, and the damage from those two Tongue Spire bunkers would naturally shift to Fang Senyan. And when Fang Senyan's health was depleted to a critical point, Reef would use drugs and other means to recover to a decent state, allowing him to take the lead again. This greatly improved their survival rate and fault tolerance.
After rushing into the brood nest of this sub-base, Mogansha, like a rabid dog, took the lead in charging into the hall. Several shots splattered green goo everywhere, killing the Drone workers who were transporting crystals. Because the mineral vein was nearing depletion, what they were currently doing most was no longer mining, but transporting. They were then throwing these stockpiled Pandora Crystals into the brood nest's digestive pool to extract the energy within. This energy would then be transmitted to the Red T纹 Tribe's main Red T纹 brood nest without any loss, through some form that humans did not yet understand.
Even though Fang Senyan and his team had cleared the enemy's defenses, the mineral vein here had been exhausted under overload mining. However, the stockpile in the brood nest was enough to make them feel like they had reaped a great harvest.
After some counting, Fang Senyan and the others obtained a total of nearly 2800 units of Pandora Crystals and over 500 units of gas rare associated minerals. Of course, the tricky thing was that these crystals and minerals weren't directly digitized like general points, but took up space! Of course, they could also be sold to the Nightmare Imprint for general points, but at most they would only get 10,000 general points. The three of them would get very little after splitting it, and just looking at the thirst in Reef's eyes, it was clear how much he coveted this stuff. What's more, he had already directly taken out 20,000 general points to ask the two of them for help?
Fortunately, after Fang Senyan was promoted to lieutenant, the Nightmare Space storage space also expanded accordingly. Its volume was already very considerable. Although it couldn't hold all the crystals and associated minerals, after emptying it as much as possible, it actually managed to hold a good portion of it. Mogansha and Reef naturally could share the rest. At this time, Mogansha was fine, but Reef looked at Fang Senyan with a very surprised expression:
"What's your current rank? Have you already been promoted to a reserve officer level? How can your personal space be so big?"
Fang Senyan shook his head and said:
"No, I'm a lieutenant now."
As soon as he said these words, both Mogansha and Reef widened their eyes:
"You're a lieutenant!??? Not a reserve lieutenant?"
"Yeah," Fang Senyan said in astonishment, "Is there anything strange about that?"
Reef turned around and said to Mogansha seriously:
"I didn't believe you before. How could the combination of the Metal Mentor and Nu die in the hands of Sailor alone, who is so twisted … but now I'm starting to believe it."
Next, Fang Senyan learned that only contractors who used medal points that weren't obtained through transactions to increase their military rank could obtain the title of official military rank. Otherwise, once medal points obtained through transactions were used to increase their military rank, it would be as if they had a blemish in their life. The word "reserve" would be added before their rank, and they could only obtain the most basic abilities.
Of course, it was said that there was also a way to remove the three damned words "reserve," but the price to pay was quite expensive. How many medal points did you previously use from trading when you were promoted? Then you would have to pay double to wash away this stain.
For example, Mogansha was now a reserve private first class. If he had used 10 medal points obtained through transactions when he was promoted, then he would have to pay double - that is, 20 medal points that he earned himself - to wash away this stain. If he was a reserve warrant officer, then he would need to pay three times, and so on. Moreover, the military rank promoted after washing away the stain was never as good as a direct promotion.
After hearing these words, Fang Senyan also felt very fortunate. If he hadn't explored the ruins of that Goblin Kingdom and obtained a large number of medal points, how could he have been promoted to lieutenant so quickly? At this time, Reef suddenly said again:
"Sailor, I wonder if you have any plans to form a team after this world ends? I heard that teams formed with formal military ranks seem to have team abilities by default? And there seem to be other advantages, being stronger than reserve teams in all aspects."
Fang Senyan smiled and said:
"I hadn't thought about it originally, but after you mentioned it, it has made me very curious."
Next, the three began to destroy this undefended base. Saying it was completely undefended wasn't entirely true. The brood nest here was still constantly hatching Zerglings and Hydralisks, following its survival instincts, but this level of sporadic attacks was useless to them. After taking out the anti-air spore cannons near the base one by one, the Spore Flyers of the Blackthorn Tribe, who had heard the news, also began to come to help. There were also five Overseers carrying several squads of Blackthorn Tribe Zerglings to help. In less than half an hour, this base was completely destroyed. Destroying a sub-base was obviously quite a remarkable achievement, so Fang Senyan and his team each gained nearly two tens of thousands of reputation points.
At this time, from the information obtained from that Overseer, it was learned that the Blackthorn Cerebrate Mojito, for some unknown reason, had taken the initiative to attack. Relying on its air superiority, it had split its forces into several groups to launch a comprehensive suppression attack on the Red T纹 Tribe! It even began to try to use Spore Flyers mixed with Overseer transports to force an airdrop, going all out to deplete the Red T纹 Tribe.
For a time, the Red T纹 Tribe's territory was truly filled with smoke. Although its main force had a great advantage in the number of Hydralisks and Zerglings, its mobility was quite insufficient. If it launched a full-scale attack at this time, then the rear would inevitably be empty. Once the lair was lost, losing the continuous reinforcements, it would still suffer more defeats than victories!
"We have to hurry," Fang Senyan muttered to himself, gazing at the distant sky.
At this time, it was only a few hundred kilometers away from the Red T纹 Tribe's main base. From time to time, deep green light could be seen tearing through the sky like a glow, and then three or four huge emerald green light spheres would shoot into the sky. The light spheres rotated at extremely high speeds, and even the air in front of them showed vortex-like colorless fluctuations. There were also scattered green residual light trails in the trajectory they passed through.
The diameter of the light sphere was at least nearly a hundred meters. Although it was only a distant view, it had a kind of tyrannical and unmatched power that seemed to destroy everything!!! Just by looking at it, just watching from so far away, one could feel the boiling light and power that seemed to rush towards one's face, making one unable to help but hold their breath.
Reef looked at the place where the light sphere was launched and sighed:
"This should be the giant spore fungus spray anti-air tower that needs to be destroyed in the mission! Damn it, I didn't think it was so terrifying when I was on the spaceship at the time, but now I find that this thing is probably not so easy to deal with."
Fang Senyan's face was serious:
"If I'm not mistaken, the reason why the Blackthorn Cerebrate Mojito dares to attack suddenly is probably because it has obtained extremely powerful reinforcements! So it dares to attack with all its strength without distraction, which means one thing: If we want to destroy the giant spore fungus spray anti-air tower, we must rush to get there before the Blackthorn Tribe, otherwise, there will definitely be no chance at all afterwards!"
"Strong reinforcements?" Mogansha said in astonishment: "Oh, hsit! Who else would help these bugs?"
Fang Senyan said lightly:
"Since the Blackthorn Cerebrate Mojito can cooperate with us and Dandy, the lieutenant colonel of the Expeditionary Mother Star force, then why can't it cooperate with other human forces?"
The idea that Fang Senyan threw out was like a time bomb that suddenly exploded, rumbling and thundering, bringing Mogansha and Reef into a daze, but they couldn't find any words to refute it. Fang Senyan then said with a deep gaze:
"The high-energy rich mineral vein occupied by the Blackthorn Tribe has extremely rich reserves, otherwise it wouldn't have made it an enemy of everyone. So what it lacks most now is time, not resources. It can also be seen from this guy's behavior that it is not respectful to the Zerg's Queen of Blades, but is ambitious and has a taste of independence."
"And it can be imagined that the human colonial forces that have already established themselves on this planet are also unwilling for the Mother Star to intervene and share more of the benefits for nothing. So it is logical that the two sides hit it off. The Blackthorn Tribe is likely to have paid a considerable amount of Pandora ore and gas rare ore to buy weapons. In the face of huge profits, human consortiums have no reason to reject this proposal, especially since the weapons they sell are also used in infighting between the Zerg!! This makes their behavior even more cloaked in a layer of righteousness, making them even more unscrupulous!"
Reef frowned and questioned:
"But this is your guess, there is no evidence!!"
Fang Senyan smiled slightly:
"Evidence… is simple… just
…
There will still be an update at 12 o'clock tonight, see you all! Ke He.
Also, everyone's guesses about Reef's talent are really powerful, opening up a lot of my thinking space!
