Ruo Manni and her people found the location given by Deputy Commander Gao of the Sixth Regiment. They discovered that the trees there were broken and the scene was in a mess. There were corpses of locust beasts, fragments of human mechas and clothes.
However, apart from some suspected human bloodstains, there was no human body at the scene, not even a small piece of human body tissue.
However, whether it was the scan of the mecha's life detector or Rumanni's "scan" of the surroundings with telekinesis, it showed that there was no life here.
After seeing the scene, everyone could guess what happened here. The mercenary group must have encountered some danger first and asked for help. When the leader of the sixth group stationed here led people to rescue, they encountered this group of locust beasts.
Then, due to unknown reasons, the communications were blocked, and the rescue team and the mercenary team were unable to send out a distress signal until they all encountered disaster.
As human beings, seeing humans suffer such a horrific tragedy, Ruo Manni and her group felt even more heavy-hearted.
“Isn’t it said that the commander of the Sixth Regiment stationed here is a sixth-level mecha division? Even if he can’t save these people, he should be able to escape.” Sheila Shahin said doubtfully.
If Manni also had some doubts, she quickly identified that among the mecha fragments on the ground, there were fragments of level six mechas.
Even if these locust beasts can penetrate the shell of a level six mecha, they should not be able to tear it into pieces like this. There may be other reasons for this.
Ruo Manni looked at the Gaohai Forest. This forest was actually not very big, and it was not a restricted area like the Desolate Forest. But when Ruo Manni looked at this forest, she felt a sense of extreme danger.
Ruo Manni instinctively wanted to leave here quickly, because there was something she couldn't deal with. The one who could create such a large group of locust beasts silently was most likely the Yunkai people.
Ruo Manni has never been a person who tries to show off her strength. Since she felt that there was a danger that she could not deal with, this place felt to her very much like a deserted forest.
Ruo Manni planned to report this matter directly to the eldest prince to see how he would deal with it.
Among the military personnel of Huangyu Star, Ruo Manni has the highest cultivation level, and the eldest prince has countless capable people under him, including five or six level eight mecha masters. They were able to handle an incident as big as the Desolate Forest, so a small Gaohai Forest would be no problem at all.
They came here to save people, and now that the people were gone, they naturally wouldn't continue exploring. Ruo Manni ordered everyone to collect some samples and leave here as soon as possible.
Others might have heard the urgency in Ruo Manni's voice, but they imagined that Ruo Manni was worried about the possibility of a swarm of locusts attacking the city, so they didn't ask anything.
After Tamaki Kazra released the small robot to collect blood samples on the ground, everyone turned and flew towards Gaoping City.
Then, halfway through, they saw a large group of locust beasts, and they were heading towards the city. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as they could definitely make it in time to raise the alarm.
It has been more than thirty minutes since the locust beasts fought and retreated with Romanni's team, and the locust beasts have only flown half the distance.
Maybe the locust beast is too big, and its flying speed is not very fast, not even as fast as an ordinary flying car.
Ruo Manni and the others were extremely grateful and sped up their pace.
"There are more than 16,500 locust beasts in total." Ruo Manni reported the count to her companions.
Ruomani's mecha performance is better than that of others. After she flew over the locust swarm, the mecha scanning data appeared.
"With such a huge number, the Gaohai Forest should not be able to hide them. The Sixth Regiment stationed there was completely unaware of it beforehand. This is very suspicious and may be man-made," said Yu Baoluo.
"It goes without saying that this is man-made. These locust beasts cannot have the ability to block communications." Zhao Lixue said.
This guy always has some verbal conflicts with Yu Baoluo, but when he was in danger just now, Yu Baoluo worked hard to save him, and he also lent a hand when Yu Baoluo was in trouble. If they were not both of them with rough looks, Ruo Manni would have suspected that they had a gay relationship.
Ruo Manni used a special channel to report the emergency to Lin Changfeng and asked him to send people to Gaoping City for assistance.
Three minutes later, when they saw the outline of the city, Ruo Manni found that their communication had been restored, and she hurriedly sent the locust beast data she had just collected to Lin Changfeng and Adjutant Tong respectively.
Lin Changfeng received first-hand data, but forwarded an extremely unfriendly message to Ruo Manni.
"The 11th, 15th, 20th, 24th, 26th, 31st, and 35th Regiments have all been attacked by locust beasts. We cannot spare any manpower to support you. You must do everything you can to kill these locust beasts and protect Gaoping City."
Ruo Manni was silent. The entire Huangyu Star was attacked, and the Huangyu Star military knew nothing about it beforehand. This was really a dereliction of duty.
When Manni told her friends the news, everyone was silent for a while.
"We have to resolve this matter as soon as possible. No one can guarantee that there will be no problems with the First Regiment stationed there." Yu Baoluo suddenly said.
Behind the First Regiment’s base is Baili City, where Yu Baoluo’s family lives, so he is the most anxious.
"The eight of us have limited killing power. Let's first go to Gaoping City to set up defenses." Ruo Manni said.
Killing them one or two at a time didn't have much effect. The energy of the mechas and their physical strength were limited. At most, they could not hold out after killing one or two thousand.
Every city’s defense force, as well as defense shields and laser cannons, especially laser cannons, can definitely deal with the locust beasts. There is strength in numbers, and only by working together can we solve the locust beast swarm.
Ruo Manni and her group put away their mechas at the city entrance. The city defense soldiers came to intercept them. Ruo Manni showed her ID to the two soldiers.
“Ah, you really are the eldest lady.” After seeing Ruo Manni’s appearance clearly, the young soldier couldn’t help but exclaimed in a low voice. It was obvious that he had doubts just now, but he couldn’t believe it.
Although the other soldier's eyes were also full of surprise, he still dutifully checked Ruo Manni's and their IDs, and then saluted Ruo Manni: "City Defense Army ××× greets Captain Hua De."
"We are here on the orders of Commander-in-Chief Lin to assist the Sixth Army Regiment stationed there. Have they arrived yet?" Ruo Manni returned the salute and asked.
"The people from the Sixth Regiment arrived more than ten minutes ago and are now at the city defense headquarters. Our lieutenant told me that he will take you there as soon as you arrive, Miss." The soldier who introduced himself unconsciously called Ruo Manni "Miss."
As the supreme commander of Huangyu Star, Lin Changfeng has sent out a warning signal to the top leaders of the entire planet. Before Ruo Manni arrived, the city defense army had already raised the defense shield, and the laser cannons on the city wall were ready.
When Ruo Manni and her group came over, they were immediately welcomed in by the city defense forces and Deputy Commander Gao of the Sixth Regiment stationed there, as if they were saviors.
The troops of the Sixth Regiment arrived earlier than Ruomanni and her group, and had already told them about the attack on the Sixth Regiment at their base. They knew that these people were rescued by Ruomanni's team.
When Deputy Group Leader Gao saw that only Ruomanni and eight others came in, he looked at Ruomanni with a sad face.
Ruo Manni sighed and said, “We went there and didn’t see anyone, we only saw the fragments of the mecha.”
As Ruo Manni was talking, she showed the pictures of the scene. Someone from the Sixth Regiment burst into tears: "That was our leader's mecha..."
The sixth-level mecha master and his mecha were dismembered, which shows how difficult it is to deal with this group of locust beasts.
Ruo Manni sighed and said, “Now is not the time to be sad. We have greater difficulties to face.”
If Manni released the images of locust beasts they took on the road, the entire city defense command center would become nervous.
Although the city defense troops had learned about the problem of the insect beast swarm from the Sixth Army Regiment stationed there, they were nervous and had to follow the orders from their superiors to deploy their defenses, but they had no direct understanding of the situation.
Now that they have seen the specific images of the locust beasts in pictures and videos, they know that what the Sixth Regiment stationed there had said was an understatement. Moreover, it can be seen from the images that the number of the locust beasts is very large.
"When we flew over the locust beasts just now, we scanned the group of locust beasts and estimated that there should be more than 10,000 of them."
Ruo Manni sent the locust beast data to the captain of the city defense army. After reading it, the captain, who was a mid-level fifth-level warrior, said with an extremely grim expression: "Although our laser cannons can deal with it, we only have ten laser cannons, and the energy of each can only support two or three hundred rounds. Even if every shot hits, it can only kill two or three thousand. The rest will depend on our soldiers to kill them."
"The lightsaber equipped with the fifth-level mecha can kill locust beasts. You gather all the fifth-level mecha divisions in this city, and I will lead them to kill them." Ruo Manni said.
The company commander of the city defense army did not even ask Deputy Commander Gao of the Sixth Regiment stationed there, and immediately followed orders. It was obvious that he trusted Ruo Manni more.
The Gaoping City Defense Force, which was originally under the Sixth Regiment of the Garrison, did this by bypassing the Sixth Regiment of the Garrison. Although Deputy Regiment Commander Gao was somewhat dissatisfied, he suppressed his dissatisfaction when he thought that they were all rescued by others, and that this young lady had the highest position among the soldiers present, and that she was a seventh-level telekinetic master.
At this time, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded at the city defense headquarters, and from the video, one could see a dense army of locust beasts approaching the city.
The city defense army captain quickly connected to the mayor's message and reported the incident to him. Then in less than three seconds, Ruo Manni heard a sharp alarm throughout the city.
The mayor of this city responded quickly and seemed to be cooperating well with the city defense forces, Ruo Manni thought.
Ruo Manni looked around and found that there were only twenty-six level five warriors among the soldiers of the Sixth Regiment and the city defense army, and only Deputy Regiment Commander Gao was a level six early mecha division. Their strength was really weak.
"You can mobilize the citizens and the police department to see if there are any level 5 mecha warriors. If there are, ask them to come over immediately." Ruo Manni said helplessly.
She originally thought she could organize an attack team of nearly a hundred people, but who knew there were only more than thirty people, which was too small.
The city defense army hesitated for a moment, but still issued Ruomanni's order.
Ruo Manni originally thought that it was better to have more people than nothing, and the more people there were, the better. But within ten minutes after issuing the order, eleven level five warriors and three civilians came from the police department.
After these people arrived at the city defense army headquarters, they all walked directly to Ruo Manni and saluted her. Then, after seeing the people Ruo Manni brought with her, admiration flashed in their eyes. It was obvious that these people came for Ruo Manni.
Ruo Manni thought this was a good idea, after all, she was the one leading the team.
Ruo Manni only brought seven people to support, but these seven people were also masters.
At this time, the locust beasts were already outside attacking the protective shield. Although the laser cannons were constantly shooting at these locust beasts, there were too many of them, and the outside of the city's protective shield was densely packed with these locust beasts.
"Captain, something terrible has happened. These locust beasts can actually absorb the energy of the protective shield." The engineer in charge of the protective shield shouted.
Everyone present looked serious; this was undoubtedly the worst news.
"At the current rate of consumption, how long can the shield's energy last?" Ruo Manni asked.
"Two hours at most. It's still unclear what changes will occur to these locust beasts after they absorb the energy." The engineer said quickly.
"Warriors above level five, follow me." Ruo Manni said, and walked out of the city defense army headquarters quickly, and the others immediately followed her.
"Yu Baoluo and Deputy Captain Gao will be in one group, Zhao Lixue and Gong Jiafeng will be in one group, Cao Juexian and Chen Genghui will be in one group, and Yu Chi Kazra and Xila Shahin, you will follow me. There will be 12 people in each group. Try your best to clear the locust beasts on the city's protective shield." Ruo Manni said in a loud voice.
Ruo Manni asked everyone to get on the mecha. She took a look and felt that except for the people he brought with him, the mechas of others were more or less shabby.
Especially the mechas of the three civilians. Although they are level five mechas, they are not combat types. Moreover, their missiles are only level one, and their lightsabers are also the lowest grade. They are not as strong as the level four mechas in the military. If they go out like this, they are simply sending themselves to death.
But they couldn't be blamed, because the empire stipulated that civilian mechas could not have too many weapons. Ruo Manni sighed, asked the three people to come down, and replaced them with level 5 standard combat mechas.
The three level five warriors were cheered up. It turned out that the legend was true. In order to strengthen Huang Yuxing's military strength, the eldest lady was very generous and often paid out of her own pocket.
Ruo Manni knew that some places on Huangyu Star were actually very poor, and many warriors could not own their own mechas even if they had reached a certain level.
Therefore, this time when she came back, Romanni brought a lot of these mechas. These were all the practice works of her and the apprentices of Senior Brother Rick Amber. The materials were not very good, so the price was not expensive.
A few years ago, in order to prevent this kind of situation from happening after returning to Huangyu Star, Ruo Manni deliberately bought it at a low price. Now it really comes in handy.
They each led their own team and dispersed in the four directions of the city. Ruo Manni went straight to the direction where the locust beasts came from, where there were the largest number of locust beasts.
Ruo Manni saw that the laser cannons outside the city were firing continuously, and tried her best to prevent the locust beasts from jumping onto the protective shield.
Although the laser cannon can kill Locustmon directly by hitting its vital points, its fatal points are its lower abdomen and eyes.
The locust beast was not flying high, so it was almost flying close to the ground. The laser cannon could not hit the lower abdomen, which was the largest target area, so they could only try to aim at the locust beast's eyes.
However, although the locust beast is large, its eyes are not very big. In addition, the locust beast flies around in the air, making it difficult for the soldiers to aim at it. Although they can lock on and attack it, if they don't hit the vital parts, the locust beast will only be slightly injured at most, and it can still attack.
Facing the overwhelming number of locust beasts, the laser cannons were unable to cause large-scale damage and seemed extremely weak...
