Chapter 469 Char Meat Grinder

Some time later, at sunset.

The sky was dark, and the ash clouds in the sky were gilded by the firelight of the lava ocean.Here is close to the North Pole of Char, and the violent solar wind brought a gorgeous ribbon-shaped blue and white aurora, and the soldiers of the Char expedition called it the skirt of the goddess of death.

The night of Char is not dark. Numerous flowing lava lakes and oceans light up the starry sky like burning firewood, but the visibility is still very low.When the orbiting satellite positioning equipment failed to work normally, the dust raised by the artillery fire covered the entire battlefield like a thick fog.

Due to the rapid change of the situation, the Revolutionary Charle Expeditionary Army has changed from a planned defensive battle to stick to the landing point to a mobile battle to advance to the main hive area.

在空投至查尔地表的增援部队抵达以后，指挥官吉姆·雷诺中将下令放弃所有的重炮，以第1、第7装甲师超过800辆弧光攻城坦克和600辆装备“歼灭者”磁轨炮的响尾蛇悬浮装甲车为主力，第4摩托化师和剩下的4个海军陆战队师逾10万人开始向主巢区推进。

A large number of half-tracked heavy armored personnel carriers and 88mm Camerian self-propelled artillery vehicles are at the rear. From time to time, a large number of revolutionary army winged Nightmare Wraith fighters and Grizzly heavy bombers roared past in the sky.

The Grand Consul Phoenix, known as the Templar Manager, led several zealot legions to defend the two wings of Raynor's Ministry, as if the high-ranking Templars who were driving the storm commanded these hand-burning sharp-bladed protoss warriors.

Tens of thousands of protoss dragon knights advanced among the rising sparks and dust. Their flexible four-legged walking feet were like walking on platforms in the rugged terrain flowing with lava, and their speed was not inferior to human chariots.

This team of Human Revolutionary Army and Dalam Protoss troops stretches for more than ten miles. In the sky, the roaring Revolutionary Army aircraft group and the gorgeous Protoss fighters are doing their best to block the hordes of different dragons and explosives. Attacks from Mosquitoes, Swarm Guardians and Swarm Devourers.

"We're in trouble. We found Zerg life signals at 12 o'clock."

From an armored Foxtrot command vehicle, Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Charles Horner pointed out an anomaly in a piece of protoss detection equipment.In the case of all radio equipment failing, these protoss equipment solved the urgent need.

"Well, I bet this is not the last wave. Protoss will help us stop these bastards, let the fanatics of Phoenix kick the bug's ass hard." In this kind of war of large armies, Raynor can't help Always on his favorite pony.

"Keep going, once we stop we will be caught in the middle of millions of zerg." On the bumpy armored command vehicle, Renault asked Charles:

"How's the deployment of the psychic disruptor going?"

The Psionic Disruptor is the most important weapon of the Revolutionary Army in their battle against the Zerg.

In the defense battle, this powerful weapon that can interfere with the mind of the Zerg Hive is used to prevent the Zerg swarm from advancing on a large scale in a destructive posture.In offensive warfare, psionic disruptors can help Revolutionary Army soldiers hold positions that have been taken at great cost.

Deploying a large number of psionic disruptors on the way forward can not only ensure that the advance route cleared by the vanguard is unimpeded, but also provide a way for this lonely army to retreat to the landing point safely.

If the protoss were unable to teleport all of their troops back into the fleet, the path opened up would be a real lifeline.

"The engineering team has deployed five psychic jammers using next-generation technology, covering a distance of more than 5 miles in a straight line. At present, this type of psychic jammer has not encountered effective countermeasures against Zerg."

"Very well, the distance between us and the overlord's lair is getting closer." Renault stood by the small podium in the command vehicle, skillfully using the protoss console to retrieve the monitoring images from the protoss detector.

Protoss generously provided Renault's Char Expeditionary Force with a large number of communication crystals and detectors, which were used to equip officers and tanks above the class. Otherwise, even the marching coordination of armored troops and armored vehicles would be very successful. question.

These protoss devices, which look like works of art, are surprisingly easy to use. They are directly connected to the prosthetic detectors all over the main battlefield of Char, and then overlook the entire battlefield from an extremely wide perspective.

No matter how painstakingly the engineers of the Revolutionary Army studied the operating principles of these protoss equipment and weapons, they did not make any progress and gains, as if every ingenious and precise part of it was built in a way that humans have never seen or heard before. , and assembled in shocking ways beyond the comprehension of this race.

So much so that the chief engineer of the Revolutionary Army, Rory Swan, believed that even the Protoss himself might not understand how the shiny Kaidarin crystal worked.

"Tassadar's fleet is being besieged by the Zerg fleet. They cannot provide more orbital fire support for the ground troops." Raynor clicked on the console screen with many beautiful geometric shapes flashing on it, and issued further instructions to his troops. combat orders.

The console's interface has been set to human language, so even Renault can understand it.Even if the protoss didn't do that, Raynor could understand a little protoss writing.

As the friendship between the Korhal Revolutionary Army and the Protoss of Dharam grew stronger, Marshal Augustus Mengsk has listed the language of the Protoss as an elective course in the schools of the Revolutionary Army Territory. The status of Protoss language is becoming more and more important.

The continuous sound of artillery fire in the console screen indicates that Raynor's arc tank is still advancing rapidly.Of course, it was Fenix ​​and his protoss Templar troops who wiped out the Zerg.

Judging from the pictures taken by the protoss fleet in the high-altitude orbit of Char, the entire Char swarm's main nest area of ​​more than 1000 square miles is covered with zerg. Tens of billions of zerg are roaring to the sky, and the vast ocean is chilling.

The troops of Renault and Phoenix have opened up a passage in the dense insect sea, and they are getting closer and closer to the nest area full of organic buildings.

It was the battle center of the UED expeditionary force's landing force and the Overlord's guards. In less than 12 hours, that area was also covered with the wreckage of battleships and armored vehicles. The corpses were everywhere, and countless zerg and humans Remnants litter the scarlet earth.

Just in the picture, a UED battlecruiser is falling into a sea of ​​dark red lava, being swallowed by the flowing lava without any suspense.It used to be a battleship that symbolized the supreme force of human beings in the Koprulu sector. There were at least 4000 crew members on it. Now it sank in the blink of an eye from Raynor.

"Now the Zerg in the main hive area is also in a mess. The last time I saw this scene was in Aiur." Reynolds said: "Humans and protoss died one after another, and the corpses piled up like a mountain."

"The UED expeditionary force is approaching the hinterland of the main hive area with the help of the hybrid, and it has been determined that the second-generation master is there." Charles said to Renault.

"Even this kind of monster is difficult to move in the depths of the Zerg's main hive." Reynolds zoomed in on the camera of a protoss detector.

The influence of hybrids on the charr swarm is extremely significant. They can not only disrupt the mind of the main hive and make the members of the Zerg group kill each other, but also severely damage them through the backlash between the minds of the main hive.

Zerg-oriented hybrids can even wrestle ultralisks, while those more protoss-oriented, with white wings of light, can use their psionic powers to bring devastating blows to dense swarms. Possesses the ability to teleport similar to the protoss dark templar, and can crush large groups of springtails with telepathy.

It's just that the Charr swarm is not vulnerable. As the battle line continues to advance toward the depths of the main hive area, the spiritual connection between the brain worms and their group members has become more stable, and the guardians of the swarm have become stronger.

In the hinterland of the main hive area, there are dense hidden clusters among the organic buildings with hatching grounds, split pools, and evolution chambers, among which are gathered a large number of terrifying giant Hydra Hydralisks and Toyaskrai, which can be resurrected by the hands of brain worms. Beasts, even those devourers with blood-red skins, are far more powerful than their kind.

These fortified Juggernauts are more than capable of fighting hybrids, and there are even hybrids that have been killed and devoured by hordes of zerg.

The casualties of the landing troops of the UED expeditionary force were even more severe. Countless soldiers from the earth spilled their blood on the purgatory planet far away from their hometown. There was even a platoon of UED soldiers who were harvested by several super troyas kray beasts with terrifying scythes.

A new zerg variant also made its first appearance on the battlefield, an insidious monster that lurks underground like a hunter lurking under the dunes.

They are likely to have evolved from the Hydralisks of the Tiamat Swarm, and are also believed to be some kind of mutated spider-type guardian from the depths of the main lair, attacking by catapulting from beneath the surface Rows of dense spikes that are strong enough to penetrate steel and flesh.

New variants of the Hydralisk can kill Earth soldiers in power armor line by line.In the core of the main hive area, between those treacherous volcanic rock hills and ravines, a large number of lurkers hidden deep under the surface can set off spikes like waves, and any UED infantry who wants to pass through there will pay a great price. Big casualties.

The sharp spikes pierced from the ground are enough to penetrate the tanks of the UED expeditionary force, cut off the hands and feet of human beings, and cause death without a whole body, and the body is torn apart.

In the communication channels of the Earth Army, these never-before-seen zerg variants are called "Char Crypt Demons", which is enough to show their fear of this monster.

In the area where the fighting was the worst, the broken bodies of tens of thousands of UED soldiers lay on the front less than [-] yards away.Creep quickly consumes them, and before long these venerable human warriors have transformed into terrifying xenomorphs.

The Zerg attack is vicious and merciless, tearing apart enemies whole while they are still alive.

At this time, UED's advanced nano-medical technology can't even play much role. After being transported to the battlefield, the survival time of each UED soldier can even be calculated in seconds.

At the same time, more UED fleet landing pods were delivered to Char's main hive area. According to the statistics of the protoss, at least 100 million heavily armed UED soldiers were transported to the surface of Char, and they were sent to the surface of Char in half The time of the standard Earth day is lost by more than half.

But that's just the beginning.

Earthlings buried on Char were told before being drafted into the army that they were there to protect Earth from the protoss and zerg threats, not to uphold the rule of the United Earth Council.Therefore, the courage and fighting spirit of these soldiers are also immeasurable.

It is almost certain that this UED fleet is commanded by their commander Gerard Dugal, who is on the flagship Alexander.

Due to the unpredictability of the situation, it was many times more difficult for the UED expeditionary force to attack when the Protoss and the Zerg were both wounded.Far from their homeland and deep in enemy territory, this lone army could hardly even see a chance of victory, as the zerg and protoss proved far stronger than they had observed.

Therefore, this decisive attack is in an extremely embarrassing position. If this leads to the Zerg's counterattack on the earth, then this war will affect several arms of the galaxy.

From this, Renault can understand Dugal's firm determination.

"Reynolds, humans on Earth have captured a main hive near the main hive area, which belongs to the brain worm Nagar, the leader of the hunter group." Phoenix's head submerged in the blue nutrient solution appeared on the screen in front of Lei Nuo superior.

Although Phoenix and his people hate the hybrid in the hands of UED, both Tassadar and Phoenix believe that it is not the time to settle accounts with the earthlings.

In any case, the first priority is to kill the Overlord.

"They're activating fusion weapons, proceed with caution."

"This rotten place in Char, no matter how bombed it is, it won't be worse." Reynolds said to Phoenix: "The people on Earth have already established a firm foothold, and I even think they can really stand in front of the master."

"But I can't figure it out, since only pure void energy can kill the Overlord, how can the people on Earth kill him." He said:
"As far as I know, there is almost no psionic technology on Earth."

"General, our communication channel is back to normal!" At this moment, the communication soldier in the command vehicle who was in charge of controlling the radio station suddenly shouted to Renault.

"It's a surprise to leave a broken Vulture alone, it won't get better on its own," Leno said. "It turns out that the Earthlings cut off the communication, and Dugal didn't want us to find out what they were doing in the first place." .”

"I bet, Charles, they want to talk to us now."

"I received a communication in the communication channel, it's for you." The communication soldier said to Renault.

"Here they are," said Raynor.

"Open it."

"I'm Gerald Dugal." UED Expeditionary Marshal Dugal's thin and resolute face jumped out from the lit projection screen on the other side.

"Commander of the Revolutionary Army, the Zerg is the common enemy of all mankind, and the small conflicts between us can't be ignored." Dugal was not a person who liked to talk nonsense, especially in this dangerous situation.

"Now, I hope to get the help of you and your protoss allies to form an alliance to attack the Zerg main lair and kill that eerie monster."

Renault and Charles looked at each other, both surprised that Dugal knew about their relationship with the protoss.

Of course, it's not entirely impossible to guess.

"Let's be specific."
