"The Sixth Regiment stationed at the edge of Gaohai Forest suddenly lost contact. Only special distress signals were sent out regularly. Satellites scanned the area and found nothing." Lin Changfeng said with a grim expression, "There are two level six warriors in the Sixth Regiment, but they can't even send out a signal. That's why I asked you to go. You have to be extremely careful, and the first regiment must leave enough people to guard the camp."
Even though Topaz Star's satellite system is not as advanced as that of the Central Star Region, the blank area in the picture must be blocked by something.
It can block satellite signals over a large area and prevent even level 6 warriors from sending out distress signals. Ruo Manni immediately suspected that it was most likely the work of the Yunkai aliens. Apparently, Lin Changfeng also had the same guess.
Ruo Manni had already rehearsed emergency response, so she did not hesitate to select five level six warriors, Yu Baoluo, Gong Jiafeng, Chen Genghui, Cao Juexian, and Zhao Lixue, to follow her. These people needed actual combat experience after their promotion.
If Manni focuses on cultivation and training, most of the other chores of the regiment will be handled by Adjutant Tong. Therefore, Adjutant Tong, who is now almost the acting regiment commander, will definitely stay.
If Adjutant Ma, a late-stage sixth-level master, were to stay behind to guard the base, the safety of the entire group would be guaranteed.
However, in order to allow Tamaki Kazra and Sheila Shahin to break through as soon as possible, Romani also brought them along.
Ruo Manni and her group were very fast. It only took five minutes for Lin Changfeng to send a message and for Ruo Manni to gather people and set off.
The Sixth Regiment is actually not close to the First Regiment. The straight-line distance between the two is more than 2,000 kilometers. If the small flying ship equipped by the First Regiment is used, it will take at least half an hour to arrive.
If Manni took out her flying car and set it to level one, not only would the appearance of the flying car become very cool and domineering, but its speed would also be as fast as level one, and it would disappear from the sight of everyone in the base in the blink of an eye.
They arrived at the destination of more than 2,000 kilometers in just ten minutes. Tamaki Kazra and Shira Shahin, two people who had seen the world, looked fine, while the other five bumpkins all looked like they had learned something new.
However, they had no time to lament, because as soon as the flying car entered the 12,000-meter range around the Sixth Regiment, it immediately lost contact with the outside world. But when they looked at the sky outside, there was no change.
Fortunately, the advanced scanning function of the flying car worked. They flew a little closer to the Sixth Regiment’s base and saw a dense swarm of insects and beasts.
"Oh my God, this is definitely not a native creature of Huangyu Star." Cao Juexian said in horror.
"This is a locust beast that is unique to the planet ×××, but the locust beast on the planet ××× is half the size of this one." Tamaki Kazra is the top student here.
Romani and Silla Shahin knew all this, of course, as they had attended military school. In addition to Romani and Hebrew Adam, the elite class had also been to the planet named ××× mentioned by Yuchi Kazra for training.
"The locust beasts on Planet XXXX have very hard shells, and their front feet are their weapons of attack."
In Romanni's eyes, this was a monster that looked very similar to a locust, but was larger than an elephant, with one of its legs being more than ten meters long.
The camp of the garrison regiment was completely filled with these densely packed locust beasts. All the buildings were gone. It was obvious that these locust beasts had destroyed the camp of the garrison sixth regiment.
When Manni and her group flew over in a flying car, the locust beast in front actually flew up and attacked the car.
The six long legs of Locustmon looked very hard, especially the two feet in front, which shone with the cold light of metal. If she was stabbed directly, Ruo Manni felt that the sharp toes of Locustmon would probably pierce her flying car.
If Manni clicked, the flying car launched three first-level missiles, directly hitting the three locust beasts that were attacking the flying car.
Three locust beasts were hit, but they were not blown up by the bomb as they expected. They simply fell from mid-air and were still alive. They even retreated back to the locust beast group at a fast speed.
Everyone in the flying car felt a little heavy-hearted. They all knew that the power of these level one missiles was enough to kill ordinary level six monsters, but when they fell on the locust beasts, they only caused them minor injuries.
They shot down three locust beasts, and it was like disturbing a hornet's nest. Swarms of locust beasts swooped towards their car.
Ruo Manni immediately ordered the flying car to rise into the sky at a high speed, but she didn't expect that the locust beast could not fly up after flying to a height of more than 100 meters.
"The locust beasts on planet ××× cannot withstand the attack of the first-level missile, which can be directly fatal, so the locust beasts here are probably modified. However, the locust beasts on planet ××× can fly to a height of five or six hundred meters, while the locust beasts here seem to be able to only fly forty or fifty meters at most." said Tamaki Kazra.
Although the missile just now did not kill the locust beast, it did collect the locust beast's defense data. Everyone was very troubled when they saw the defense data.
The missiles deployed in the military camp could not kill this locust beast. It was not that the level 5 mecha could not deal with it. Facing thousands of locust beasts, how many could dozens of level 5 mecha warriors kill? No wonder the garrison's Sixth Regiment fell in an instant, and not even one person could escape.
"We must wear mechas to go down. We can't kill these insect beasts with our own strength." Tamaki Kazra reacted the fastest.
"Damn it, when did such a terrifying creature appear on Huangyu Star? It couldn't have suddenly appeared. Didn't the people from the Sixth Regiment notice any signs at all?" Yu Paul cursed in a low voice.
Ruo Manni did not speak, but exchanged glances with Yuchi Kazra and Sheila Shahin, who all suspected that this was another incident of the Desolate Forest.
The eight people put on their mechas one by one and left the flying car. Ruo Manni went out last and put away the flying car. The eight people flew directly above the camp of the Sixth Regiment.
The entire camp has become ruins. The locust beast seems to be looking for something in the ruins of the camp and does not want to leave.
Ruo Manni "saw" the emergency shelter of the military camp more than ten meters underground, where five or six hundred people were hiding.
"There are still hundreds of people alive in the shelter. Let's rescue them first." Ruo Manni said.
The dark red mecha shot like a meteor towards the largest locust beast in the camp of the Sixth Regiment.
The locust beast discovered Ruomanni's mecha, and it exerted its hind legs and flapped its wings, rushing towards Ruomanni at a speed faster than Ruomanni's mecha.
Just as the mecha and the locust beast were about to collide, a lightsaber suddenly emerged from Ruo Manni's left hand and swept towards the locust beast.
Yu Paul moved a little slower and watched the locust beast being swept by the lightsaber in the hand of the Romani mecha. The locust beast was cut in half, and yellow blood spurted out. The locust beast that was cut in half fell to the ground and never moved again.
The other seven people relaxed and drew their lightsabers.
One of the commonly used weapons of advanced mechas is the lightsaber, and the length of the lightsaber can also be adjusted. Ruo Manni adjusted the lightsaber to eight meters long.
The long lightsaber swept past, and the two nearest locust beasts were immediately split in two. It looked easy to kill to outsiders, but Ruo Manni looked at the consumption. The energy box of the seventh-level mecha could only support her to kill more than fifty at most. The energy support time of other people's mechas would only be consumed faster. The shell of this locust beast was stronger than the data collected by the flying car just now.
According to the data from the mecha's exploration, the number of these locust beasts is no less than eight thousand.
"Clear the locust beasts near the military camp first." Ruo Manni ordered.
The eight mechas started killing regardless of consumption. Although the others were not as powerful as Ruo Manni, who fired an eight-meter-long lightsaber and swept two or three locust beasts to death, they could only fire a five-meter-long lightsaber, but under normal circumstances, they could still kill one with one sword.
Although Yuqi Kazra and Shira Shahin's cultivation was lower than theirs, their mecha performance and combat effectiveness were not much worse than theirs. Yu Paul and his group just thought it was natural, as these two were also well-known monsters in their group.
Eight mechas started killing in the locust beast swarm. At the beginning, the locust beasts all pressed forward, trying to trap them to death. If Manni reacted quickly, the mechas would rise up and escape from the encirclement, but Cao Juexian, Zhao Lixue and Gong Jiafeng were trapped.
Ruo Manni immediately launched four second-level missiles, which accurately hit the locust beast's eyes and blew off half of its head.
"The second-level missile cannot kill them directly, we have to attack their eyes." Ruo Manni said.
Their mechas were all equipped with second-level missiles. Naturally, the other people saw the consequences of Ruo Manni launching the second-level missile, and immediately launched a burst of bombs, rescuing the three companions from the siege.
In just a short while, the outer shells of the three people's mechas were hit hard, and the locust beast's long legs pierced the mechas, leaving marks.
There was even a hole in the right arm of Gong Jiafeng's mecha, revealing the mechanical skeleton inside the mecha, but fortunately, it did not affect the combat effectiveness of the mecha.
After this round of missile bombing, each of their mechas sent out an average of four or five missiles, but only killed a dozen locust beasts.
Each mecha was equipped with only twenty missiles. The crowd did not dare to continue firing and switched to using lightsabers to attack these locust beasts.
This time, everyone had experience and naturally would not be surrounded by locust beasts again. Gradually, the camp was filled with the corpses of locust beasts.
An hour later, a group of people at the base discovered that the locust beasts were no longer swarming over.
"Captain, these locust beasts seem to be retreating." shouted Sheila Shahin.
"Captain, these locust beasts are retreating, and they seem to be organized." Tamaki Kazra also said.
Ruomani naturally noticed these movements earlier than them, and she also discovered the "leader" of the locust beasts.
Ruo Manni wanted to deal with this "leader", but this "leader" seemed to have a high IQ and strong ability to hide. After Ruo Manni discovered its existence, she used her telekinesis to tightly "lock" this "leader" and flew over in her mecha.
But the locust beast seemed to have noticed something, and hid in the pile of locust beasts. The other locust beasts immediately gathered there and blocked the direction of the Rumanni mecha.
Immediately afterwards, the locust beast "leader" broke free from Ruomanni's "telekinesis lock" and disappeared into the locust beast group.
If Manni used her telekinesis to "scan" again, she would find that what she "saw" were all the same locust beasts, and that special "locust beast" was no longer there.
Then the locust swarm began to retreat.
In less than five minutes, the locust beasts retreated completely. Within a radius of several thousand meters, there were no living creatures except the corpses of the locust beasts.
After making sure that the locust swarms had retreated, Rumanni drove the mecha to the ruins of a building and used a lightsaber to sweep away all the garbage on the ruins.
Although the locust beasts retreated, communications were not restored. Ruo Manni used special signals to contact the people in the shelter.
About four or five minutes later, a small hole gradually appeared in the ruins that Rumanni had cleared, and a sixth-level warrior soldier jumped out.
Ruo Manni asked the others to remain in mecha mode and she jumped out herself.
As soon as the sixth-level warrior saw Ruo Manni, he immediately came forward excitedly and saluted Ruo Manni: “Captain Hua De, I am Gao Ting, the deputy commander of the Sixth Regiment stationed here. Thank you very much for your rescue.”
Ruo Manni also returned a military salute to Captain Gao, but the other party recognized who she was, so she didn't need to introduce herself. She directly asked what had happened to the Sixth Regiment stationed there and how serious the losses were.
"Half an hour before these strange insect beasts appeared, we received a distress signal from a mercenary group in Gaohai Forest. Our leader led a dozen people to rescue people in the ××× direction of Gaohai Forest. Half an hour later, these terrible insect beasts suddenly appeared around our camp. All the alarm systems were not triggered and we were caught off guard. These insect beasts pressed down layer by layer, and all the buildings were destroyed in less than a minute." When Captain Gao said this, his voice choked a little: "We didn't even have a chance to get on the mecha, and the weapons in our hands couldn't kill them directly. Those insect beasts were very scary. They skewered the soldiers with their claws and ate them in a few bites..."
"I had to evacuate everyone and hide in the shelter immediately. But in the shelter, all our communications were blocked and we could only send out a special distress signal."
The Sixth Regiment stationed there originally had more than 1,200 soldiers, but now there are only more than 300 left. The casualties were so tragic. No wonder Captain Gao, a tough guy, had tears in his eyes when he spoke of this.
Ruo Manni looked at the hundreds of remaining soldiers. They were all looking at him with gratitude, but Ruo Manni felt it was irritating. Many of these soldiers were seriously injured, but because there were only one or two treatment devices in the emergency shelter, they had to endure it.
These people have no fighting ability at all. The correct thing to do is to find a place to settle down and treat their injuries as soon as possible.
Ruo Manni looked solemn and said to Captain Gao: "I will go and rescue your captain first. You take your people to retreat to the nearest city and ask the mayor to prepare for the battle. I am afraid these locust beasts will attack the city."
The situation was urgent, and communications were blocked. Gaoping City was suddenly besieged just like the Sixth Regiment where they were stationed. The more than one million citizens in the room...
Without Ruo Manni saying anything more, everyone could imagine how serious the consequences would be. The deputy commander of the Sixth Regiment was also a decisive person. He immediately drove his remaining soldiers to the nearest Gaoping City.
Although the camp of the Sixth Regiment was destroyed, most of the important supplies were usually placed in the spacecraft of the chief and deputy chiefs. Chief Gao had a small flying ship. Although it was a bit crowded, it could still accommodate all the survivors.
Because the communication and positioning system were not working, Romanny and the other eight people followed the direction given by Captain Gao.
They were already accustomed to the positioning system, but the mecha system's search range was not large, so it took them more than ten minutes to find a suspicious scene.
The place was in a mess, with mecha fragments, rags of human clothing, and spots of blood everywhere, indicating what had happened here...
