Chapter 322, Psychic Teleportation
The special warfare elites of the 10th Brigade did not have the terrifying battlefield dominance of the Space Marines. Although the armor plates welded on the exoskeleton could provide protection for their torso vital parts, it was not enough for them to completely ignore the enemy's bullets, not to mention that the elite guards of the Kingdom of Stefano also had a large number of laser weapons and equipment.
Their offensive means, relying on laser guns and electromagnetic rifles, can easily destroy ordinary soldiers, but they have no way to deal with a few sentinel mechas. Only the more elite warriors among them who have been trained to the T2 level, with grenade guns in hand, can threaten those "knights" with conventional means. Other special warfare elites, if they want to kill those sentinel mechas, either stick to them with chainsaw swords or plant bombs to solve the problem, or they have to see if they have anti-armor rockets, mortars and other things at hand.
But the good news is that with the extra power provided by the exoskeleton, they can carry a variety of heavy weapons by themselves, and their firepower is much stronger than that of ordinary infantry.
Their biggest advantage over the Space Marines is their large numbers.
Anato and twenty other Space Marines used the Iron Curtain Queen as an irresistible bait for the Stefanos, attracting most of the enemy's attention. Then, Martins, with another twenty people, smoothly shut down all the remaining anti-aircraft firepower in the palace fortress, and cleared a space in the upper part of the fortress palace suitable for the Falcon fighters to drop soldiers and supplies.
This batch of airborne troops brought down one thousand elite special forces, which is fifty times the number of Space Marines.
What's more, the phoenixes are not retreating, they will also join the battle.
After handing over the task of guarding the palace and guarding high-level prisoners of the Stefano Kingdom to a special operations company, forty Space Marines formed a team and led a large number of special operations elites to begin fighting outside.
The battle lasted for almost two days.
As the commander-in-chief, Martins basically accomplished the task of leading the troops to occupy the entire fortress palace.
Stefano's people really fought very bravely, but subjective bravery could not make up for the gap in hard power between the two sides.
Not to mention, are these elite members of the alliance weak in their fighting will?
Does not exist.
Moreover, it was precisely because they had a heroic fighting spirit and were willing to bear huge casualties and accept missions that would ensure their certain death that they died so quickly.
The Stefano palace guards were almost wiped out. Fifty sentinel mechas and more than eight thousand elite warriors were almost the most elite team in the kingdom.
The Queen of the Iron Curtain saw it all with her own eyes, and her heart was bleeding.
No one knows better than her how much effort she has put into establishing such a guard army during her years in power. The significance of this army is by no means just to protect the palace. She has greater ambitions, and this guard army is the backbone of some of her future plans.
But now, it's all gone.
Is she a mediocre king?
No.
But when her enemies turned into aliens, invincible space marines and alliance armies, she was unable to transcend the original shackles and found that everything was so helpless.
When the most elite guards of the Kingdom of Stefano were wiped out, the battlefield temporarily calmed down.
The alliance's army entrenched itself within the palace, with no intention of marching out for the time being.
Although there were three more waves of Feng Falcons, with a thousand special forces, a regiment of the 31st Airborne Division and an artillery battalion, bringing the total strength of the alliance here to about 4,000, Martins, as the commander-in-chief, did not send troops to fight outside the palace.
There are still 200,000 of Stefano's troops in this capital city.
These kingdom troops are not as powerful as the destroyed guards, but their numbers are not small after all, and they also have hundreds of sentinel mechas and two knight titans.
And the main force of 200,000 people did not launch another large-scale attack on the palace.
It’s not that they have any other thoughts, it’s mainly because... they were stunned.
Almost all the high-ranking officials of the kingdom were captured in one fell swoop; many of the generals of the Royal Guards died in the previous two days of fighting. It was difficult to find a suitable person to lead the army among the remaining people.
They even invited a retired old general to come out.
The chaos within the army needs to be sorted out, and the next step of action also requires more far-reaching planning.
And it's not like they're really doing nothing.
They also tried to invest their strength in an attempt to retake the court.
But obviously it can't be done.
The 200,000 troops in the periphery were not stationed in the city at the beginning, and their quality was far inferior to that of the imperial guards who protected the palace. After several failed attempts at attack, they paid a lot of sacrifices. Although the casualties were far less than those of the imperial guards who were almost annihilated, the participating troops still showed obvious fear and cowardice.
Although some radical loyal generals repeatedly urged the troops to attack, the effect was very poor.
This also made the entire offensive and defensive battle surrounding the fortress palace generally calm down, and only in some local areas were some battles of lesser intensity going on.
It’s a good thing not to fight too much.
Martins simply asked his troops to wait patiently, and finally received the news he wanted.
The main force of the alliance has once again broken through the enemy's defenses. The main force, which was originally 300 kilometers away, has moved to a position just over 100 kilometers away. The fastest vanguard team has even reached a position less than 70 kilometers away from Stefano's capital city.
It is now five days since the Space Marines' raid began, and all is going according to plan.
And they also have to take the next step.
Martins found two people.
One of them was named Henrik Larsen. He was one of the first batch of new blood of Phoenix. Before this, he was no different from the others, and he did not have a brilliant performance like Anatole.
But now, he is the only Librarian in the Chapter.
The other person Martins found was named Dany DeRose.
She is a member of the Alliance's 'Storm Mage Group'.
This organization was established less than three months ago. Its origins lie in the Storm Mage Academy established half a year ago and the Wrathful Star branch of the Imperial Psionic Order.
Over the course of half a year, the Storm Mage Academy selected approximately one hundred people with psychic talents from across the Angry Owl Star.
Those who were older and whose psychic talent was not enough to pose a threat to others were eliminated and were only registered; the remaining people, a total of more than 70 people under the age of 35, were sent to the Mage Academy to study relevant psychic power control after their identity information was registered.
And fifty of them have already "learned" it.
In addition to their status as a psionic order, they were all seconded by the Alliance government to form the Storm Mage Corps.
At this moment, half of the Storm Mage Corps was here. The temporary leader of the twenty-odd Storm Mage Corps was Dany Deris.
Deris is from the Northern Province of the Alliance and is only seventeen years old. She started to show some "superpowers" two years ago, such as being able to make a pen disappear and appear several meters away.
She cannot control this power. When she is emotionally intense or particularly uncomfortable, her power will be released, and everything around her may move out of thin air.
Although her parents were just miners with a very poor living standard, they loved their daughter enough to hide Therese's talent well, not telling anyone, and let Therese control herself as much as possible.
However, before the Alliance took control of the North, the influence of the original Wrathful Owl sect there was too great. They usually tended to collect those with psychic talents. Under their special training, those who already had psychic talents would have even more powerful power after being infused with evil magic with secret methods. Several powerful high priests in their sect came from this.
Therese was eventually caught by them.
The cultists killed her parents in front of her and took her away.
According to what they did next, they used long-term torture and brainwashing to distort her personality and memory, and then infused her with evil magic to cultivate a saint of the cult.
But fortunately, before some of the measures were taken and could cause irreversible serious damage to Therese, the Alliance completely destroyed the cult and Therese was saved.
How should Therese, who was rescued, face her life which had actually been destroyed?
What else can I do? Just stay alive.
She accepted the alliance's arrangement, and after about half a year of basic education, she entered a machinery factory in the north to do logistics services.
Then, she was informed by the staff of the newly established psychic order that she had psychic talents and was asked to register.
At that time, she felt very heavy and panicked.
The greatest disaster in her life came from this. Wouldn't she be scared if she was discovered by the Union Government?
Obviously, after being rescued, she has been very careful to hide her specialness, especially as she has grown older, she has been able to better control her superpowers. Although she doesn't know how to use them actively, at least she can try not to show them when she doesn't want them to appear.
So, she was very confused, how did the alliance know about this?
With fear and some despair, she entered the Mage Academy.
But the life here was completely different from what she had imagined and what she had experienced before.
She lived in a bright house, had enough food and warm clothes, made some friends who were quite similar to her, received a good education, and had a psychological counselor who paid attention to their inner feelings and mental health issues...
All she had to do was learn various theories and learn how to master her special powers.
And suddenly one day, she felt that she had realized and completely mastered the power.
Although there is still a lot of theoretical knowledge that she has not yet learned, she can already use her power as she pleases.
After that, she joined the Storm Mage Group.
It can be said that it was voluntary, because she didn't know where else to go, and her classmates also chose to join; the good life in the past few months made her let down her guard, and she thought that working for the alliance was not a bad thing, and it could also improve her rank.
After joining the Mage Corps, she took on some tasks, such as helping with some special work in the factory, "delivering" a certain part into a closed container; using the ability of space cutting to help cut off certain solid materials...
Not busy, let alone painful.
Her life was on the right track.
Compared with those small and unimportant missions, her first and major operation was to cross the starry sky, go to another world, fight side by side with the Space Marines, and participate in a war.
To be honest, she was still quite nervous.
However, this battle does not require her and her colleagues who came with her to personally participate in the front-line combat.
The soldiers were in charge of the battle, but she and her colleagues had another, more important task.
And now, as the commander-in-chief, Captain Martins once again gave her a task, asking her and Larsen, a member of the chapter's think tank, to repeat it again.
"My subordinates are ready. Now, I need you to join forces again and activate a psychic teleportation to send my team to the heart of the enemy."
"No problem. We have all recovered and can perform teleportation once again. Just like last time, we can teleport fifty people at a time."
"Very good, then go ahead. You have four hours to prepare."
"That's enough." Therese said confidently.
She began working with Henrik Larsen on how to actually do this.
Psionic teleportation is a powerful thing, but it is not something that can be achieved as one wishes. They have to study the psionic and environmental conditions here and at the target location to ensure that there is no interference during the teleportation and that the deviation of the teleportation is not too large.
It is certainly convenient to study the departure point, but it is very inconvenient to study the destination. There is often no way to reach there, otherwise why bother with teleportation tactics?
All they can do is to perceive as much as possible through psychic vision and psychic perception.
However, overall the problem is not that big.
The main thing is that it is not far away. The target location is probably only about 30 kilometers away, and you can see it with a telescope from a high point.
They were ready quickly.
At the departure point, on a large open-air platform, a deep blue psychic array had been drawn. Doris led more than 20 psychics around it.
A series of 'dong, dong, dong' footsteps were heard, and a total of forty Space Marines came marching forward.
