Chapter 696 Counterattack from the Apostle
Many human soldiers were not confident about winning today's war. Even with Li Tianran leading them, most of the human soldiers did not believe that the Allied Human Forces could achieve much victory in this war.
Faced with such a terrifying enemy from an ancient civilization, including some generals, they felt very uncertain.
Some countries' troops even opposed the war, but they were forced to participate because they could not resist Li Tianran's orders.
Everyone knew that a full-scale war between humans and an ancient civilization, with the current military strength of humanity, would result in a very high casualty rate.
After this battle, the armies of many human countries might be defeated, and some countries might be completely destroyed!
Even the major powers were no exception!
This fear enveloped the hearts of every soldier and general involved in this war, lingering for a long time.
This young Federation soldier was no exception.
He felt lost about the future, and the fear of death occupied his mind and body.
But... Chu Jianguo stood up, stood in front of him, and told him the meaning of this war, who this war was for, and who these soldiers would die for!
Just like decades ago, when the Federation's soldiers and civilians faced powerful and brutal invaders, countless warriors died one after another, as if they did not know what fear was!
Because the thing that supported them to die was... belief!
Humans are very small and despicable creatures, greedy in the face of temptation, tempted by beauty, and afraid of death...
But humans are also very great creatures. Once they have faith, they will no longer be affected by any external things, like a giant mountain!
The young soldier's eyes gradually brightened, and his eyes began to become sharp and firm, his breathing gradually becoming heavy.
On his body, an aura called "fearlessness" was rising.
"Yes... we are fighting for our descendants, for the future. We are fighting now so that our descendants will not be threatened by war!" the young soldier murmured to himself. He straightened his body, and the arm holding the steel knife no longer trembled.
The speed of emotional infection was very fast, and the entire Federation army calmed down, like a mountain about to meet a storm.
Chu Jianguo stood in place, his eyes sweeping around.
Around him, all the Federation soldiers had firm eyes and glared at the front.
Chu Jianguo suddenly felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
These people were the best warriors of the Federation, they were firm, loyal, and brave, the future of this country, but after this battle, he didn't know how many people would survive.
"Young men, do your best to kill the enemy! And then..." Chu Jianguo took a deep breath and shouted to the battle formation with the clearest voice of his life: "Survive!"
…
The sound of explosions resounded throughout the desert.
The Kunlun Giant Ship had fired three laser energy cannons at the two Miracle Buildings. The invisible barrier had been weakened to the extreme, like a soap bubble that could burst at any time, as if it would burst if blown on again.
"Boom!"
Hundreds more laser railguns fell on the boundary tower barrier. By now, the boundary tower barrier of the two Miracle Buildings had reached its limit. As long as the next attack came, it would instantly shatter, exposing the two Miracle Buildings to Li Tianran's attack range without any defense.
"Continue charging!" Li Tianran said expressionlessly, calmly giving the order, "Prepare for battle!"
Li Tianran was sure that once the boundary tower barriers on the two Miracle Buildings were shattered, the Apostle would launch a frenzied counterattack, like a wolf cornered, it would definitely fight back crazily. If he didn't respond well, he might suffer a big loss.
Brilliant light was gathering at the mouths of hundreds of railguns, like rounds of small suns.
"Laser railguns are charging, thirty-five percent..."
Every time the laser cannon on the Kunlun Giant Ship fired, it needed three seconds to recharge. At this time, the electronic display screen showed a progress bar, showing that the charging state had reached one-third, and it only needed to wait two more seconds for the final blow to the boundary tower barrier to be fired.
But at this moment, the precarious boundary tower barriers around the two Miracle Buildings below suddenly shattered on their own, like a mirror instantly shattering into countless crystal points!
Li Tianran raised his eyebrows.
The Kunlun Giant Ship's final blow had not yet been fired, but the other side had opened the boundary tower barrier on its own?
What did the Apostle want to do?
A figure soared into the sky, rushing towards the Kunlun Giant Ship at supersonic speed.
Then came the second, the third, the fourth...
Those were the secondary sequence followers under the command of the Gale Apostle!
The Gale Apostle belonged to the Yu race (Winged race), a race that was born with the ability to fly. Their speed was the most top-notch among the major races, and almost every one of them could exceed the speed of sound!
At this time, taking advantage of the two-second blank period of the Kunlun Giant Ship's laser energy cannon charging, the Gale Apostle resolutely opened the boundary tower barrier, allowing his followers to come out in full force and launch an unexpected counterattack against Li Tianran.
To be honest, Li Tianran did not expect this behavior from the Gale Apostle. He thought that even if the other party would counterattack, it would be after the boundary tower barrier was shattered by himself!
The Gale Apostle's operation did surprise Li Tianran for a moment, seizing a brief time advantage. It was very bold, but at the same time, it was also very dangerous.
Once a mistake occurred, the entire race might be lost to the Kunlun Giant Ship's attack.
"Increase altitude!" Almost at the same time, Li Tianran issued an order to the Kunlun Giant Ship, wanting to distance itself from these secondary sequence followers.
But it was too late now.
Although the peak speed of the Kunlun Giant Ship could reach dozens of times the speed of sound, that was after entering space and after a few minutes of acceleration. It was impossible to reach this speed instantaneously from a stationary state!
The huge size of the Kunlun Giant Ship also meant that it would be subjected to greater gravitational suppression. In the initial state of movement, its speed did not reach the standard of the speed of sound.
The Kunlun Giant Ship, as vast as a city, began to move to a higher altitude, but then, the warning system on the machine emitted a piercing alarm.
"Detected enemies entering the k-550 range within one kilometer of the machine body, automatic counterattack firepower activated!"
"Detected enemies entering..."
A series of alarms sounded, and the entire control room of the Kunlun Giant Ship lit up with dazzling red lights!
