The Turning Point of the Battle of Baal: The Pertita Campaign (Part One)
The night sky in Pertita is far inferior to that in Losel.
Alvin gazed up at the starry sky. A massive thunderstorm and howling winds raged, and this terrifying and extreme weather turned out to be their best cover!
The extremely harsh climate here makes it difficult even for the elite forces of the Imperium of Man, the Astra Militarum, to confront the most greedy and ferocious Tyran in the universe.
It's not that the Astra Militarum can't land and fight here, but the extremely harsh climate would cause huge losses to logistics and personnel.
However, this does not include "Silicon-based Life"!
Their bodies are made of steel and machinery, making them completely resistant to harsh climates!
It's estimated that even if the Hive Mind racked its brains, it couldn't imagine that in this Death World with its extremely harsh climate, constantly shrouded in giant Stormfront, and barren resources, there are hundreds of thousands of mechanical legions lurking among the yellow sand and ravines, quietly waiting for their arrival!
With the help of professional engineering-grade Transformers, despite the tight schedule, they managed to excavate a network of tunnels through the ravines of this planet!
Everything is ready, except for the final push!
Just as the war fortifications on Pertita were nearing completion, he finally got his target!
A colossal shadow, like the embodiment of endless hunger and greed, enveloped this star field. Without a doubt, this must be the Hive Mind!
Leviathan Bio-ship, arrived at the target area!
"Finally here! I've been waiting so long---"
Alvin's eyes flashed, and a hint of fanaticism appeared on his face. "Next, it's time for you to taste the 'gift' I've carefully prepared for you!"
One after another, massive steel cannons, each as large as a mountain and of an exaggerated size, seemed to awaken from their slumber, slowly and heavily raising their enormous muzzles and aiming at the thunderclouds in the sky.
"Plasma Orbital Cannon, integrate with the war intelligence system!"
"Charging - Charging -"
"Charging complete!"
"Star map data input, target area locked!"
"Emission!"
The next moment, the earth shook!
Hundreds of Plasma Orbital Cannon, like undulating mountains, stretched for tens of kilometers. The air evaporated by the high-temperature plasma alone almost turned this place into a vacuum!
The visible shockwave resembled a turbulent tsunami, spreading out in a terrifying manner, even shaking the ground for tens of kilometers around, making it impossible to stand!
Immediately afterwards, Alvin witnessed a scene he would never forget: hundreds of dazzling lights.
Like a shooting star moving in reverse, dragging along rolling flames and waves, like hundreds of giant dragons roaring and howling, breaking free from the shackles of gravity and the earth, they charged wildly and unrestrainedly toward the thunderstorm clouds that covered the sky!
This scene was truly spectacular!
Hundreds of Plasma Orbital Cannon tore through the thunderstorm in the sky, their terrifying power slicing straight through the dark clouds!
The sky over Pertita has never been so clear!
Instead, hundreds of dazzling, brilliant rays of light, like dragons emerging from the sea, soared into the sky!
The first strike should catch them off guard!
Clearly, the Hive Mind of the Leviathan Bio-ship never expected that such a human legion would be lurking on such a resource-poor and utterly worthless planet!
The massive Bio-ship had a complete and tight formation, with escort ships and cruisers protecting the mothership at the innermost part!
However, precisely because of this, the massive fleet found it difficult to change direction. Moreover, the vanguard fleet they dispatched did not report any ambush here, so they had no time to evade the orbital strike from Pertita.
In an instant, hundreds of dazzling, brilliant plasma beams, imbued with the aura of death, struck the escort ships and cruisers surrounding the Hive Ship!
Boom!!!
Although sound cannot travel in space, anyone could feel the earth-shattering explosion!
In just one salvo, Alvin achieved astonishing results, annihilating at least sixty Zerg frigates and cruisers with his Plasma Orbital Cannon!
It's important to understand that even in the Drill Ring and Bastion Ring of the Stygian System, the human legion endured fierce resistance, achieving roughly the same results as him. Therefore, it's easy to imagine—this wave...
How much damage did Alvin's sneak attack inflict on Tyran?
The Hive Mind of the Leviathan Bio-ship was also stunned for a few seconds by this wave of ground-based orbital strikes from Pertita.
What's going on?
Isn't this a Death World? Furthermore, the Vanguard Hive Fleet scouted the area and found no signs of life or energy. So why was their fleet suddenly attacked?
But soon, the Hive Mind, recovering from the attack, was filled with rage: How dare mere humans ambush them?!
The Hive Mind immediately changed the fleet's direction, deploying Bio-spore Pod towards Pertita!
In time, the entire sky Pertita was filled with countless Bio-spore Pod, like a meteor shower, blotting out the sun and piercing the heavens!
"Trying to land?" Looking at the falling Tyran Bio-spore Pod in the sky, Alvin sneered, "Not even offering any cover for the Space Fleet, they really don't consider me human. In that case—then shoot them all down, leave no one alive!"
"Yes, Progenitor!"
The War Master Control Brain responded.
This AI was specifically developed by Sentinel Prime for large-scale warfare.
Rather than calling it AI, it's more like another form of Transformers, sacrificing its body and transformation ability in exchange for more efficient computing power!
In contrast to the Bio-spore Pod falling from the sky, trailing trails of flame, are countless large-caliber anti-aircraft guns and automatic defensive guns used for interception, scattered across the ground, canyons, mountains, and plains!
In an instant, bright and intense flames, like a torrential rain of metal, were poured into the sky!
The deafening roar of artillery fire, mixed with dense golden torrents, collided with the biological pods falling from the sky, exploding into dazzling fireworks!
Amidst the interplay of artillery fire and smoke, and the dazzling fireworks illuminating the dark, cloud-covered sky, as if playing a stirring melody, the grand prelude to the Pertita Campaign officially began!
As for Tyran, even if he has a "brain," he's pitifully naive when it comes to tactics, just like the United Kingdom menu or the American history.
Alvin sneered. He could guess Tyran's next move even with his toes.
It's simply a matter of using cruisers to initiate a space strike, then deploying biological pods, and once ground forces are concentrated, initiating a "human wave tactic."
"Playing the human wave tactic, is that it?" Alvin's eyes were icy cold. When it came to tactics, he had never been afraid of anyone!
This time, let Tyran see who the true warrior nation is, and what the true power of the monster from the East is!
Warfare isn't simply a matter of who has more men; many other factors also play a role!
"Lesson One!"
Looking up at the sky, Alvin smiled slightly; he didn't believe he would lose.
Humans experience fear and anxiety.
Yet, emotionless machines feel neither fear nor dread. They are born warriors, never retreating, fighting to the death!
