Chapter 122 Desperate Battle

Under Cha Kaijin's command, the nearly ten thousand evolved warriors who were originally preparing to retreat from the battlefield turned around again, looking at the Marine Apostle ahead.

No one wanted to face such a terrifying enemy.

But with military orders above, they would not retreat.

"First Legion, Second Legion, listen to my command!"

"Form the Three-Three-Three Battle Formation and attack the target!"

Cha Kaijin's orders echoed in the earpieces of every evolved warrior. They quickly formed the battle formation, tightly gripping the alloy steel knives in their hands.

This Three-Three-Three Battle Formation originated from an ancient tactic of the Federal Army, later modified and incorporated into the evolved unit specifically for dealing with large beast kings.

The basic principle of this battle formation is to use squads as a unit, each combat squad consisting of three people, each with a clear division of labor: offense-cover-support. During an attack, two soldiers are in front and one soldier is behind, forming a triangular formation.

Three combat squads form a combat group, and three combat groups form a combat regiment, and so on.

This battle formation's combat style is very flexible. It can change combat formations at any time, and quickly replace injured combatants.

Multiple past engagements with large beast kings have demonstrated the excellence and practicality of this tactic. It has now been almost entirely promoted to the entire Human Coalition forces.

Although the individual combat strength of Federal soldiers may not be as strong as the Pioneers Legion, as the Federal Army, once hailed as the "Strongest Land Army," they possess a wisdom of war and experience that the Pioneers cannot yet match.

Even Li Tianran adopted many Federal Army training methods and tactical experiences when training the Pioneers Legion.

At this time, the Three-Three-Three tactic was already being expertly used by all Pioneer soldiers.

Tap tap tap!

Neat and powerful footsteps echoed across the battlefield; it was the overture to the attack launched by nearly ten thousand evolved soldiers against the Marine Apostle. Each one raised their condition to the peak, because they were very clear that the enemy they were about to face was unlike any creature they had encountered before.

It could no longer be described as powerful; perhaps only "desperate terror" could interpret its strength.

"Kill!" Cha Kaijin roared, the Tyrannosaurus-type individual combat armor on his body emitting the sound of energy flowing.

Strength Assist activated!

Jump Assist activated!

Swiftness Assist activated!

Defense Assist deactivated!

In an instant, four different electronic mechanical sounds rang out from within the Tyrannosaurus armor helmet on Cha Kaijin's body.

As a second-generation battle armor specially developed for evolved individuals, the Tyrannosaurus individual combat armor has many functions, but all these functions require energy consumption to support them, and with all the assist functions fully activated, the energy within the individual combat armor can only last for ten minutes.

Even if defense assist is abandoned, it can only last a maximum of twelve minutes!

And most of the Federal soldiers wore the first-generation armor, which could last for even shorter periods, even less than eight minutes.

If the Marine Apostle could not be killed within such a short period of time, the evolved Legion that had lost the assistance of the battle armor would become lambs to the slaughter!

The Marine Apostle, emerging from the smoke of artillery fire, felt the energy fluctuations emanating from the evolved unit in front. Its three heads gently shook, and its scarlet pupils were mixed with a strong sense of sarcasm and disdain.

Faced with the desperate charge of nearly ten thousand evolved warriors, it did not even show a hint of solemnity.

It felt like a wolf was watching a group of rabbits jumping high and attacking it.

No, it should be said that in the eyes of the Marine Apostle, the lesser sequence followers were rabbits, and as for the human evolved unit...they were not even ants!

Too laughable!

The Marine Apostle overlooked the earth, letting out a sharp hiss. It did not even have the desire to fight the evolved unit. This was a complete contempt of a higher creature towards lower creatures.

With its hiss, the earth shook violently. A large number of sea beasts and lesser sequence followers jumped out from behind the Marine Apostle, surging like a tide!

"Second Legion, charge up!"

"Third Legion, flank from the side!"

Cha Kaijin shouted loudly, and a large number of evolved warriors charged up, already in a melee with the tide of beasts.

The Mech Berserkers and Tank Berserkers also acted as the vanguard, forming a powerful steel torrent, helping the evolved mixed Legion withstand the beast tide's impact.

Various energy reactions erupted continuously, and various evolutionary abilities successively impacted and exploded on the battlefield!

A large number of bloody remains were thrown into the sky, some from sea beasts, some from humans.

Boom!

A burst of electromagnetic pulse cannons bombarded, and large areas of the beast tide fainted on the spot, subsequently being quickly dismembered by the Pioneers.

The Mech Berserkers wielded giant spears, acting like meat grinders on the battlefield. Almost no creature could cross its defense line. It was the absolute main force on the battlefield.

Since the advent of ancient civilization, Li Tianran has also evaluated the combat power of Mech Berserkers in several wars.

As the strongest combat force under Li Tianran, the true strength of the Mech Berserkers is above lesser sequence followers, but below Apostles. According to Qin Yiming's data comparison, if the combat power of ordinary lesser sequence followers is 1, then the combat power of Mech Berserkers in a normal state should be 3 or 4.

As for Apostles, the combat power should be around 10.

However, this is only a relatively pale data comparison and cannot be used as the true situation of war.

Moreover, this data does not mean that if Mech Berserkers have a combat strength of 3 and lesser sequence followers have a combat strength of 1, that three lesser sequence followers can kill a Mech Berserker, or that three Mech Berserkers can kill an Apostle.

To give a simple example, a college student is 1.8 meters tall and weighs 80 kilograms. Can two elementary school students who are 1.2 meters tall and weigh 40 kilograms beat him?

This is obviously impossible!

Because the difference in combat power is difficult to make up for with a numerical advantage.

A college student who is 1.8 meters tall has the same height and weight as two elementary school students combined, but in reality, it may take five, six, or even seven or eight elementary school students of this size to defeat him.

According to Li Tianran's prediction, if you really want to kill an Apostle on the front battlefield, it may take at least fifty or so Mech Berserkers to do it!

And to kill a Mech Berserker, it may also take twenty or thirty lesser sequence followers to besiege it...

The huge difference in combat power between Apostles and lesser sequence followers has already been best proven when the Sky Apostle race was destroyed. Even the weaker Night Apostle could instantly kill dozens of lesser sequence followers!

Whoosh!

Whoosh whoosh!

At this moment, a large number of missiles were launched from the defensive giant city. These missiles swept across the sky and landed directly in the beast tide behind the Marine Apostle, forming a wall of fire, dividing the entire battlefield.

"We will provide you with a continuous stream of artillery support to divide the battlefield and create the best hunting environment."

Li Zhi's voice came from the earpiece: "You have only one mission, to kill the Marine Apostle with the greatest strength... or, turn into ruins in history along with this giant city!"

The scorching heat wave came from the front. Cha Kaijin looked up at the rear of the Marine Apostle. The bombing tactic of armor-piercing bombs plus fragmentation bombs plus high-explosive bombs was effective against the Marine Apostle, but it was still fatal to ordinary lesser sequence followers.

Under the artillery fire, a battle circle had now appeared on the battlefield, with raging flames burning all around, isolating the beast tide and the lesser sequence followers from entering.

And within this battle circle, nearly twenty Mech Berserkers and nearly ten thousand evolved soldiers had surrounded the Marine Apostle!

This scene was like a scene in a science fiction movie.

"The life flaw of this beast is the middle head. As long as we can penetrate it..." Cha Kaijin narrowed his eyes, gripped the steel knife in his hand, and shouted loudly: "That is victory!"

In the entire human Legion, the vanguard led by Cha Kaijin was entirely composed of Pioneers and was the most elite unit, responsible for beheading the middle head of the Marine Apostle in cooperation with the Mech Berserkers.

The other units were responsible for attracting the Marine Apostle's attention and buying them time and opportunities.

"Third Legion, start attacking from the left!"

"Fourth Legion, right side..."

Everyone had entered their battle positions and simultaneously launched an attack on the Marine Apostle.

But… something that no one had expected happened.

Faced with the attacks of the evolved warriors and Mech Berserkers, the Marine Apostle's reaction was very calm and decisive.

Its giant tail raised high, instantly slapping the air at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye.

Crack!

It was as if something had shattered!

With the direction of the Marine Apostle's tail swing as the node, countless fan-shaped cobweb-like cracks quickly appeared in the air!

These cracks spread for as much as eight hundred meters, enveloping hundreds of evolved soldiers from the Third Legion!

The actions of those soldiers who were charging and firing suddenly froze. They stood there like they had been struck by lightning, motionless like statues.

The next moment, the bodies of these soldiers directly exploded, without even having time to scream!

In front of the Marine Apostle's terrifying power, the steel armor on the evolved soldiers was useless!

However, the Marine Apostle's counterattack had not yet ended. Its three heads rose, and its three huge mouths opened at the same time, and a terrifying shriek sounded.

In such close proximity, the Marine Apostle's shriek was no less terrifying than the explosion of a high-explosive bomb.

At this moment, all the evolved soldiers within three hundred meters of the Marine Apostle felt that their chests and heads had been hit hard, and an invisible sound wave exploded in their bodies!

Crack!

One soldier's chest ribs all broke, sinking deeply!

One soldier's head exploded on the spot, a horrific sight…

The entire battlefield was a scene of blood and carnage.

Cha Kaijin's brow jumped wildly.

The Marine Apostle was too strong!

Even though he had been mentally prepared before, it was only after actually fighting the opponent that he realized that the horror of the Marine Apostle was much higher than he had imagined!

With a casual slap or roar, hundreds of evolved warriors lost their lives directly, as casually as humans swatting flies.

Although the mixed Legion numbered nearly ten thousand, at this rate, they would all be slaughtered in a matter of seconds!
