Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 241 240. Is this considered cutting off the head or the tail? (Part )
The [worm] stood tall, and the structure of the first three sections was clearly visible. Although a little mottled, the charged armor also had multiple layers of composite energy protection and should not be underestimated.

The fourth section had obvious signs of melting, and the armor plate was slightly broken, but the sections further back became increasingly intact - there were even two carriages left on the sand.

The last and second to last sections were probably the last ones buried in the sand, so they were caught in the weak cross-section with poor defense. After they were hit by firepower, the [Worm] immediately abandoned them and used them as fixed firing points on the sand, and they actually penetrated the defenses of many people.

Fortunately, each company has capable people. We have fought on the battlefield for so long. Do you think a mere automated unit can wipe them out? You're dreaming.

It’s a long story, but the actual time is very short. When the [Worm] stood up high and tried to chew the flying units in the sky, Cypher’s off-field support finally arrived!

The first was a missile that ignited its tail flame as it advanced towards the end, its light so red that it was frightening. Under precise guidance, it slammed into the connection between the heavy and thick fourth and fifth sections of the outer armor of the thing at a speed beyond human power.

A blazing white light burst out, and the special charge in the warhead reacted with the chemical energy. The sudden burst of high-temperature carrier melted through the armor that should have been indestructible on the spot at that moment.

The jet immediately rushed into the [Worm]'s body. Although its massive structure reduced the damage, crackling explosions were inevitable inside.

When the [Worm] was hit hard by this shot, all kinds of artillery fire suddenly erupted from the armor plates on its body, firing in all possible directions around it like a long hedgehog.

At that moment, the dark pillar turned into a glowing lamp.

This crazy fire coverage naturally affected Seifer's subsequent attacks... The second special missile that followed was hit by the intensive firepower and exploded in mid-air while spinning.

The third missile successfully approached, and its entire body hit the armor layer that the jet had just penetrated, but it did not explode, which puzzled a lot of people who were paying attention to the damage.

What was this outside support that came in?
Where they couldn't see, the new missile with the same strange tail flame color immediately burst into low-frequency vibrations after the impact, supplemented by electric currents of a special frequency band.

If the attack is on a mobile base, then this long-term disturbance alone can immediately turn it into a lonely boat in the desert.

But if the attack was on a [worm], it would simply stiffen up, then try to twist and swing its body like a real long creature, slamming hard onto the sand, its movements only slowing down a bit.

At the same time, Cypher finally locked onto the spot he wanted to hit, and the trigger on the machine was instantly released.

An undeniable roar erupted from the muzzle of the 'Over-Limited Armament', and the machine suddenly fell backwards and even collapsed to the ground, but no one cared about this anymore.

Even Cypher wasn't paying attention. Everyone's heartstrings were glued to the speeding nuclear bomb... In less than a second, it broke through the siege and slammed into the gap created twice in a row.

The calculation was correct and the result was perfect. The deviation of the position where the shell hit was about ten centimeters, which was within an acceptable range.

The sun, which had already shone once before, rose again. But this time, the glow on the ground did not just bloom externally, but rose from the breach between the fourth and fifth segments of the worm.

At the same time, a loud noise that could instantly make a person deaf came, and the whistling and expanding light and heat blew everything away indiscriminately!
This was probably the first time that the thing suffered such a fatal blow. The front half of it lying on the sand dived into the sand like an earthworm with a broken tail, and then... then parts of it continued to emerge from under the sand.

Some people felt that the situation was not good, especially the command unit, and immediately asked everyone to retreat temporarily - a little too late.

Once something several thousand meters long goes crazy, the feeling of a building rushing towards you can really make your heart beat faster, and even your hands and feet become cold and stiff to a certain extent.

Everyone present was a mercenary, seasoned warriors, often engaged in combat, so their reactions were quick. The sight of the kilometer-long "warheads" constantly emerging from beneath the sand and tumbling frantically across the ground was truly terrifying. The remains of the drones just destroyed by the radiation and shockwave of the fusion bomb were still lingering as the dozens of battle tanks began to recklessly release piles of drones.

Various rockets, rapid artillery fire, etc. with a certain degree of tracking and self-locking capabilities were like a big bug shitting all over the ground, madly throwing firepower in all directions.

In the huge area designated as the battlefield, this thing was like a super tank on the sand, spraying firepower mercilessly, as if it was struggling to survive.

But even such a last-ditch struggle could cause everyone to suffer. The first to collapse was the I/O company. They lost several units, and the remaining units were all injured, so they had to leave temporarily.

It's not like they're retreating, they're waiting until this batch of firepower has almost finished firing before coming back - anyone with a discerning eye can see that the warhead boxes of the [Worm] are rubbish, and they haven't even considered reloading the weapons.

Cypher ejected two more cooling fins and was about to regroup and look for another chance to fight when the machine warned him that there were not enough cooling fins left to complete the high-intensity operation.

It's not surprising that it failed me at this time. The structure of this thing is obviously specially made. If you don't go to a special node city to replenish it, you won't be able to find it at all.

Without hesitation, Cypher ordered the machine to retreat, and the team protecting him immediately followed and asked him how he was doing.

"It's not very good. I should say my body is not very good... But don't worry, I will retreat to the edge of the battlefield for the time being..."

"Red Crossbow! Your nearby energy response is decreasing!"

Laika's voice was filled with tension and concern. Cypher immediately and without hesitation asked everyone to disperse, but this time he failed because he couldn't make the body reach a high speed (overheating).

Have you ever imagined a building rushing up from under your feet and hitting you in the face?
The moment the giant [worm], carrying sand that shone like lava and with countless crushing and cutting machines rushing out from the ground on its front, Seifer felt that his body would be buried here.

The feeling of having the massive creature so close to him was truly suffocating, even though Cypher was a robot and didn't need to breathe.

Its terrifying 'mouth' made up of layers of crushers did not hit Cypher directly.

Hitting the edge of the 'mouth' hard, Seifer felt that the entire body was unbalanced. To outsiders, the outer armor of the specially armed body was directly dented, and the whole body flew backwards and slammed heavily into the shining sand.

Seeing that Red Crossbow was seriously injured and would not be able to get up for a while, the members of the Phantom Mist Group decided to call for Sefer first, then set up a lasso, drag him out and run away.

Then, Cypher said clearly, "I'm fine, but my body isn't doing well. So, leave me alone and go after the Worm's head... My crew will follow shortly."

"Oh! Okay, quickly drag her out of the range of the battle!"

Gao Shan was busy issuing tasks, and at this time, the corporate mercenaries on the scene also came to their senses.

The [Worm] was knocked down in the fourth and middle sections of the fifth quarter. Isn't there space right behind it?
