Just as the two of them were engrossed in watching the game, Lin Chong finally got his chance to help.
Two military monks approached him.
They were naturally part of the third wave of personnel tasked with dealing with extraterrestrials—that is, members of the military deployed for near-space defense.
Although they immediately began constructing near-space defenses after receiving the mission, they had no reference materials and were unsure how to proceed.
Finally, in the engineers' imagination, they used the large amount of supplies brought into space by the space carrier to build many small aerial fortresses that could accommodate a group of people.
From the outside, it looks like scattered meteorites and debris near a planet; at first glance, you really wouldn't guess that someone could be hiding inside.
Furthermore, they also deployed some offensive formations within these fortresses, which could be used to activate beam weapons such as lasers. However, due to time constraints, the power of these deployed weapons was not very high.
To engage these aliens, the main firepower would have to rely on a large number of missiles transported from the ground, as well as a considerable number of nuclear warheads.
However, after the initial arrangements were completed, they heard that one of the three aliens they had captured was a dedicated soldier.
They did want to find spaceship and firepower experts, but Old Firewood had more important things to do and didn't have time to guide them on battlefield deployment. Besides, does being a weapons expert guarantee being a good fighter? That's hard to say.
The inventor of the Gatling gun was a doctor; he rarely saw combat in his life.
In terms of their understanding of the battlefield, they still preferred to ask Lin Chong for his opinion.
After explaining his purpose, Lin Chong immediately became excited.
To be honest, he was a little uncomfortable that so many people were surrounding the dog-headed creature and the Tree People, but no one came to him. However, he had no choice but to bow his head when he was under someone else's roof, so he could only curse in his heart for not knowing what was good for him.
After sitting for a while, someone came looking for him, and his mood immediately improved a lot.
He was familiar with the Snail People ' tactics. Although he was cannon fodder, he had fought in many battles and was naturally not on the same level as those greenhorns.
Although he had never formally reviewed the documents regarding the Snail People ' tactics and playing style, he naturally figured some things out after playing many matches.
After exchanging only a few words, the two cultivators confirmed that Lin Chong had indeed fought many battles with the Snail People. Only then did they reach out and place a vacuum shield around Lin Chong, preparing to take him to the front lines to provide guidance on the existing defenses.
"Um, gentlemen, I have a small request, I don't know if it's alright..."
After greeting Hupo and following the two cultivators to the door, Lin Chong suddenly rubbed his hands together and said...
"What is it? If it's simple, we can consider it."
Lin Chong chuckled.
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. It's just that Miss Hupo also wants to participate in a Venus Showdown. I wonder if we have any priority registration channels?"
Lin Chong pointed at the Hupo, and the two cultivators who heard him also glanced at the Hupo.
I thought this guy would take this opportunity to make some difficult demands, but this is all?
One of the monks patted him on the shoulder and then spoke to Hupo.
"Hey girl, you can register directly on the computers in the lounge. It's a military channel, no waiting. You can even specify the time and session. Have fun!"
Hupo looked over, feeling a warmth in her heart.
This guy may look rough, but he's actually quite good at handling things.
I'll have to treat him to a meal when he gets back.
Following the monk's directions, Hupo quickly arrived at the computer in the monk's room. Sure enough, there was a separate registration portal for the military.
"Hehe, Venus docking, here I come!"
After glancing one last time at the computer, Lin Chong followed the monks out of the lounge.
In order to save time, they didn't let Lin Chong walk behind them. Once they were outside, they reached out and patted Lin Chong. He immediately felt as if his own gravity had disappeared, and he was in a state of weightlessness.
Then, the two cultivators quickly took to the air, carrying Lin Chong with them as they moved at high speed.
Lin Chong had experienced speeds faster than this before, but those were all with the help of a vehicle. Being directly pulled and floated away at such a speed like this was a first for him.
It must be said that Lin Chong gained an understanding of the quality of the army in Divine Land just by running a few steps.
These people's physical strength and combat skills are far superior to those of that little girl Hupo. If their spaceship had encountered these cultivators, their initial gravity traps would have been completely ignored.
Not to mention that charged laser beam, which takes as long as an old lady taking her time to get ready; if that thing could even fire, the spaceship would be gone by now.
From Lin Chong's perspective, each of these soldiers could fight the warship's escort ships to a standstill, and it was even hard to say who would win. After all, escort ships were meant to fight warships, and it would be really tough for them to fight such agile and small biological units.
After a frantic run, the two cultivators quickly brought Lin Chong to their prepared battle line. The main force had also gathered there, ready to hear the aliens' battle plan in order to devise some countermeasures.
A large, dark crowd surrounded Lin Chong, making him somewhat nervous.
It wasn't that he was afraid of what they might do to him; it was just that speaking in public was a first for him, like a young woman getting married.
"Comrade Lin Chong, why don't you first tell us about the typical fighting strategies of these Snail People?"
Seeing him scratching his head, unsure where to begin, the cultivator beside him had no choice but to find a topic to talk about.
"Oh, okay, I'll start with this part then."
"Because the Snail People's civilization is somewhat distant from this place, they've deployed a Star Destroyer-class warship. Although there's only one warship at the moment, its interior is quite spacious, housing two space combat squadrons surrounding the space cruisers, as well as a frigate formation of nearly ten escort ships. I'm not entirely sure of the exact number of ships in the formation, but it's at least a dozen."
"In addition, there are a large number of cannon fodder. Their spaceship technology and combat capabilities are far inferior to regular warships, but their numbers are numerous. They are mainly used for attrition warfare in space and for destruction inside planets."
"Don't the Snail People have any drones here?"
A cultivator standing nearby asked, "Given the current situation on this Earth Star, the development of drones is still booming, and the fact that the Snail People's fleet doesn't have one is indeed a bit odd."
"Um... drones are more expensive than cannon fodder... and although the Snail People have a commander-in-chief, most decisions are actually controlled by the spaceship's supercomputer. As drones directly under the supercomputer's control, their work is mostly logistical."
"Such as the maintenance of warships, the construction of industrial facilities, and the plundering of resources."
Upon hearing this, the cultivator gave a wry smile.
He's overthinking it. How can you judge aliens using Earth Star's values?
Earthlings value life highly, but it's different for the Snail People. With a large supply of cheap cannon fodder, they naturally don't need to develop drones.
"Then there's the Snail People's combat strategy. Generally speaking, the combat strategy varies depending on the target planet."
"For target planets that are not habitable for the Snail People, they usually send their star destroyers directly to the vicinity of the planet and use orbital bombardment and the gravity of the destroyers themselves to directly destroy the entire planet's ecosystem, wiping out all life on the planet before they begin mining its minerals."
"As for habitable planets, it generally requires a large number of cannon fodder and planetary warships to eliminate intelligent civilizations and occupy the planet without destroying the ecosystem."
"Judging from the current situation, Earth Star is clearly a habitable planet; otherwise, they wouldn't have sent us out to scout, but instead had directly sent warships over."
"Aren't they afraid of running into a tough opponent with such brutal actions?"
The monks still had some questions about the Snail People's actions.
Lin Chong gave a wry smile. He had no idea about such things. Who knew why these Snail People acted so arrogantly, without showing any fear whatsoever?
