The Hammer of Justice / It Gave Birth!
Durandal stepped forward, sword in hand, and nodded earnestly, her expression resolute.
"Humans aren't that fragile!"
Theresa suppressed her pity, but her buttocks still wriggled restlessly on top of Cecilia, and then she looked at Cecilia expectantly and asked her something.
"Sitting in a chair all the time, my butt is getting calluses. Can't I sneak out for a walk?"
Cecilia smiled, pursed her lips, and gently shook her head.
"Or, someone could give me a comic book, sitting here is so boring..."
Theresa gritted her teeth and lowered her demands, while Baba looked at everyone with the eyes of a pitiful little dog.
"No... no! You're the captain and commander; you must be dignified today!"
The hero Pakrit, wielding two Gatling guns, shook the two mounds of flesh on his chest, put his index finger to his lips, and looked serious.
As Theresa lowered her head in frustration, Patrick noticed that several of his colleagues around him, who seemed to have a change of heart and were about to loosen the restrictions, closed his left eye and gave a mocking look.
"War is about to break out, and you're still reading comic books? Have some self-respect! How about we play some of my new album to lighten things up?"
With Shigure Kira got carried away and pulled out a CD to put into the player, wanting to take the opportunity to promote her new song.
This act of harming friendly forces was immediately stopped and restrained by her best friends, "The Washerwoman" Salome and "Silly Dog" Shub.
Having spent so much time together, everyone knows each other inside and out. Shigure Kira claims to be an idol, she's really just selling her looks; her actual abilities are really nothing to brag about.
After all, this girl has been tone-deaf since childhood, and after becoming Valkyrie, some people even wanted to use her singing voice to develop sonic weapons.
When Shigure Kira reluctantly withdrew her hand, Durandal, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but tighten her face.
"Lady Theresa, you are responsible for maintaining morale and keeping a close eye on the battlefield. This is your mission as commander!"
Seeing that even her own elite troops were acting so businesslike, Theresa lowered her head and had no choice but to take out her Void Archive, enter the [Stargazer] state, and obediently go to work.
At this moment, the Valkyrie exchanged glances, each seeing a hint of mockery in the other's eyes, even the usually Durandal was no exception.
Unbeknownst to them, a cheerful atmosphere filled the Helios.
Well, my boss is trying every trick in the book to slack off, and with a major battle looming, he needs to be taught a lesson!
As the ground war intensified, the Titan Star flagship, Sanctuary II, which was calmly observing the situation from above, also reacted.
Before the throne, Ebony Maw placed his right hand on his chest in a gesture of respect, then calmly reported the situation.
"My lord, the Chitauri Star Whale Battle Group and the Sakaar Gladiators, after being separated and teleported to various parts of the world by Space Authority, have already engaged in combat with Earthlings..."
"But according to intermittent reports, they haven't detected any involvement from the Asgardian God Clan, and there haven't been many powerful superhumans appearing either."
Thanos gazed down at the Weilan planet, his eyes narrowed.
"Not exposed yet?"
"We've already destroyed satellites outside the Earth, so how did they establish a battlefield command system?"
Ebony Throat spread his right palm, and dozens of Illusionary Screen displayed the information.
"Sir, according to the spaceship's detection, these Earth reptiles seem to possess an interactive network for Dark Plane Communication..."
"Based on global information node positioning, the other party has multiple Interactive Base Station..."
Immediately, the proud Squidward looked ashamed and somewhat resentful.
"I'm ashamed, sir, but all of their multiple base stations seem to be in motion, making them impossible to locate..."
Thanos raised his right hand, stopping Ebony Maw from blaming himself, and looked at the Infinity Gauntlet in his hand, opening his lips in contemplation.
"Order the Vanguard to move out. As long as we put enough pressure on the enemy, their information exchange will become unusually frequent. With enough calculations, we can easily locate them..."
"As long as we can break through their limits, then neither mobile information bases nor the groups possessing the Infinity Stones will be able to hide..."
Ebony Maw nodded solemnly, and with a wave of his right hand, the Titan warships launched tens of thousands of triangular cone-shaped Landing Pod.
The war has escalated!
Chapter 929 The Hammer of Sanction (Section 971)
"This is Base Station Seven [Moonlight Throne], Warning! A large number of Vanguard are breaking through the atmosphere. Their movement trajectories have been uploaded. Please execute the annihilation order immediately!"
At the Lunar Base, Raiden Mei, who was secretly monitoring the movements of the Titan Fleet, noticed that countless triangular dots on the Illusionary Screen were rapidly being projected toward Earth, and immediately issued a warning.
It must be said that Kevin's caution always fills in any potential gaps.
One of the wedges of the Dark Dimension Information Network was inserted into the moon, with the aim of improving the collection and feedback of information from outer space.
In this way, it can not only act as an ambush at critical moments, but also give Earth enough time to react strategically.
At that moment, as tens of thousands of triangular Landing Pod broke through the atmosphere, the intense friction caused the sky to glow brightly, resembling nearly ten thousand high-speed fireballs falling with terrifying force.
The ground troops, who were locked in a fierce battle with the Chitauri and Sakaar gladiators, suddenly felt the scorching heat emanating from the sky, and a strong sense of unease arose in their hearts.
Meanwhile, the Illusionary Particles scattered across the Earth's surface gradually twisted and broke apart.
One... two... three... hundreds and thousands of colorful points of light suddenly lit up, followed by terrifying beams of energy shooting into the sky.
[Sky Ladder] Electromagnetic railgun, Plasma Cannon, Positron Cannon, Atomic Breath, high-energy laser emitter...
The [Hammer of Justice] created by humanity's technological advancements, operating at breakneck speed, jointly tolled the death knell for war.
Furthermore, as various high-energy beams bombarded the area, countless dark shadows followed closely behind, joining the counterattack.
Upon closer inspection, it was clear that ground-to-air, sea-to-air, and air-to-air missiles were swarming toward the rapidly descending triangular-shaped Landing Pod.
In the brief moment of contact between the two sides, bursts of fire and violent shockwaves erupted in the air, blasting open many large, visible holes in the clouds above the sky.
Instantly, the once Weilan sky was transformed into a pockmarked, cratered face by this devastation.
As the embers and smoke of the explosion dissipated, the supercomputers equipped at major information nodes began to process the dense, cascading data streams, summarizing information and analyzing the enemy situation.
"An energy field has been detected outside the Landing Pod, which has a deflecting and dispersion effect on high-energy beams, with a reduction rate of 35%..."
"The hull structure is stable, the alloy materials are robust, and the effectiveness of solid weapons is limited..."
"Sector 1, number of Landing Pod reduced by 31%..."
"Sector 2, number of Landing Pod reduced by 34%..."
"Sector 3, number of Landing Pod reduced by 27%..."
"Based on probability error statistics, the number of surviving Landing Pod is still over 8,000!"
There are still so many? As expected, Titan Star's civilization legacy is no joke. This Interstellar War doesn't seem to be going to be easy.
Kevin listened to the feedback data from the Dark Dimension information network, and couldn't help but frown and sigh.
After all, he was well aware of the formidable combat power of the Vanguard once they landed, so his orders to all sides were to destroy as many of the things on board as possible, regardless of ammunition losses.
These fearless monsters, Thanos's loyal followers, were influenced by his twisted ideology and viewed death as the highest honor.
Moreover, their defense, speed, recovery, strength, and so on are all virtually impeccable, and they also possess the ability to become invisible and read the thoughts of creatures with low mental strength.
Aside from lacking aerial combat capabilities and having relatively low intelligence, the Vanguard is practically the perfect unit.
Furthermore, based on the volume of the triangular pyramidal Landing Pod, each package must contain at least a thousand Vanguard.
There are still over 8,000 packages waiting to be signed for. At this rate, Earth will be facing at least seven or eight million such ghastly creatures.
It was already quite an achievement that the ground forces were able to hold the line and fight the Chitauri and Sakaar gladiators to a standstill.
If Kevin were to suddenly receive an airdrop of five or six million alien creatures, Kevin estimates that the position he's holding out for would immediately collapse.
"Recalculate altitude, correct trajectory, import data model..."
"Before these monsters land, beat them down at any cost!"
The commander's slender fingers pinched the chariot in the corner and pushed it forward to defend against the black Imperial Guard that had crossed the boundary on the chessboard.
At the same time, the man chewed the preserved plum candy in his mouth hard, and a chilling murderous aura burst forth from his suppressed snort.
Immediately, the tense and urgent data integration began, and the second wave of anti-aircraft defensive fire followed.
At this moment, Kevin looked at the few pieces on the chessboard that he hadn't moved, a deep sense of helplessness flashing across his eyes.
The enemy has only just transitioned from low-level cannon fodder to mid-level troops, and we're already in a complete mess.
It's unimaginable how Earth would control the situation once these elite members of the two giant races were deployed to the battlefield.
Alas, in the end, I still have too few cards to play.
Indeed, judging from his past performance, he has always been adept at taking unconventional approaches and winning against overwhelming odds.
But those were all about commanding small units to infiltrate and attack the enemy's vitals. Kevin had never actually experienced such large-scale legion warfare many times.
Moreover, everything has its limits; the premise of winning with fewer troops is that the disparity in strength cannot be too great.
The man stared at the various high-energy beams of light bursting and rising on the Illusionary Screen, along with the orange flames that rose one after another. His expression was somewhat somber, and he murmured to himself.
As expected, with Earth's forces, along with the remnants of the Asar army and some immigrants from the Deno Galaxy, it was far too difficult to fight against the combined forces of the Dark Elves, Frost Giants, Fire Giants, Titan Star, and Sakaar...
However, Kevin's despondency lasted only a brief moment. He quickly rallied, leaning back in his chair with a nonchalant air, chewing on candy to relieve stress.
As the courage of the army, whether they like it or not, from a certain perspective, they have already been elevated to the spiritual symbol of the earth.
If he himself shows even the slightest wavering or cowardice in a crisis, it will trigger a strong chain reaction.
This will add more unfavorable factors to an already pessimistic situation.
We've already been forced into this situation; if we can handle it, we'll hold on; if we can't, we'll just have to grit our teeth and bear it!
Just as Kevin was trying to remain calm, the kill count for the second wave of the "welcome" salute was already out.
More than 5,000 Landing Pod remain...
Upon closer examination, the results of the second wave were better than the first, which gave Kevin a slight sense of relief.
However, it is highly likely that the first wave of artillery fire caused varying degrees of damage to some of the undisassembled Landing Pod, creating an opportunity for the subsequent second round of attacks.
But the good news came to an abrupt end. Due to the rapid descent of these hellish creatures, ground-based anti-aircraft fire was no longer able to stop the third large-scale air raid.
Left with no other option, the command centers had to hand over the remaining annihilation mission to the ground troops.
The artillery positions and new weapons that had already been exposed were also delegating command authority to the front lines in order to deal with the attack of the Vanguard army.
As deafening roars echoed from the ground, the second wave of attack and defense officially began!
Chapter 930, Section 972: It was born!
Siberia region, a city of Anti-Entropy.
Dozens of triangular, cone-shaped Landing Pod modules, embedded in the permafrost of the ice sheet, ejected from their somewhat deformed hatches, emitting a scorching smell of gunpowder.
With a low growl, the monster known as the Vanguard rushed out of the Landing Pod and quickly invaded the surface.
They are covered in black shells, have four arms, sharp teeth, mouthparts that take up most of their faces, and no eyes or similar organs. There are hundreds of thousands of them.
Under the influence of collective action, these alien visitors spread into a conspicuous black tide that blanketed the frozen ground.
The technologically advanced city ahead, constantly radiating energy, is undoubtedly their target for destruction.
But as the Vanguard surged forward, the earth above the ice plains roared and trembled, as a mighty torrent of steel swept across the horizon, advancing ruthlessly.
Those steel constructs, made entirely of metal and radiating energy, were none other than the Titan Mecha that Anti-Entropy was famous for.
Furthermore, upon closer inspection, the formation features the tanky and durable Titan Mecha as the vanguard, followed by shamans, spiders, and other support robots arranged in rows and columns, intermittently inserting themselves, while swarms of drones sweep overhead, all contributing to the rich synergy between the different unit types.
As these steel guardians charged forward, various energy beams and physical projectiles rained down on the Vanguard's ranks.
With a deafening roar, the pale permafrost unique to Siberia was torn up layer by layer, and debris flew everywhere, hitting the metal surface with a sound like bullets.
The Vanguard, who had been given ample rest and care, were blown high into the air by the blast wave and then landed heavily, with severed limbs flying everywhere.
However, the Vanguard, caught off guard by the enemy, possessed extraordinary combat talent.
They can automatically adjust their landing posture according to the air blast, avoiding strong shock to the body.
Moreover, the carapaces and high-density muscles on these monsters give them formidable defense against both energy and physical weapons.
Two or three rounds of artillery fire followed the charge, but by the time the distance closed, only one-fifth of the Vanguard had been taken.
Looking around, the dark mass of monsters still outnumbered the Anti-Entropy Mecha forces by several times, even ten times.
