Chapter 539: 238 Ghost Strike_2
“Griss! A large swarm of Insects has appeared behind us!”
“Left flank escort squad is under fierce attack by the swarm!”
“The right flank can’t hold! Those bugs with golden patterns are very strong in combat, stay away from them! Bombard them with long-range firepower!”
“The area is too narrow, if we get stuck, the swarm could bury us with corpses!”
Griss made a quick decision, “Find advantageous terrain to eliminate the Insect Swarm! Fire support from the surface has begun!”
“Understood!”
“These damn bugs!”
The combined communication channel overflowed with curses; these transford people, who were normally overflowing with hormones, had now begun to unleash their irritable firepower on the Insect Race.
Battle.
Endless battle.
Griss led one hundred thirty-four Transford Soldiers, the fastest among the three Spearhead Teams, and also the most fiercely sniped.
They arranged themselves in a droplet-shaped formation, escorting six high-performance polyr bombs.
Griss, agile in observation and quick in response, controlled his jetpack to dart back and forth, always able to help his comrades spot danger in advance, always directing the powerful gunfire of the seventy-four chanized Transford Bodies where support was most needed.
Directly ahead, Griss had no worries.
The Supermodified people from the Emperor Star Circle, usually seen by the Elder Court as a private militia, displayed their formidable combat capabilities.
The Golden Warrior nad Catherine was like a war goddess.
She dragged a huge Ship-Slicing Blade in her right hand; the blade, made of a high-speed alloy, sliced through the hard rock walls as easily as cutting through cheese.
No mature bugs of any type could withstand the blade of her frenzied sword.
Behind Catherine, several Supermodified people ford a protective circle around the grey-robed Asexual Divine Envoy.
Bryant spread his arms and chanted continuously; visible spiritual power rippled in front of him like water, spreading through the corridors. The fierce bugs slowed down as soon as they entered the psychic interference zone, only to be cut down like vegetables by Catherine and the other Superlimiters.
Hui Saka, the White Ghost’s chanical body, who had been entrusted with high hopes by Griss, ended up being relatively inconspicuous among these Supermodified people.
He kept lifting his hands to unleash high-energy beams, providing fire support for his teammates but without any particularly eye-catching performance.
What depressed Griss… was that the gear used by these Supermodified people was obviously several notches stronger than that of their special unit.
Their Protection Shield’s energy density was much higher!
What exhilarated Griss even more was that, with this group of Supermodified people present, he could see the first light of victory.
The central Spearhead Team had completed sixty percent of their advance.
“Captain Griss, the Mother Worm has begun to move, coordinates have been synchronized!”
“Captain! A large cavity detected six hundred ters ahead!”
“Slow the advance!”
Griss imdiately shouted.
A large underground cavity ant there could be a major Insect Swarm stationed there. Their wisest choice was to circumvent this area.
The team of more than one hundred thirty people quickly halted their advance, holding back the scattered bugs in situ on the inclined surface of the corridor.
Catherine, who had been at the forefront, imdiately retreated for reformation. Three lee warriors stepped forward to block the swarm’s counterattack from below, and then…
The White Ghost strode forward to hand Catherine a bottle of electrolyte water, starting to fuss over her and constantly praising her bug-chopping moves as smooth and majestic.
Griss’s hand started to shake.
Was this guy out for a stroll?
In the midst of such fierce combat and the imnse pressure of the underground battle, he actually had the mood to flirt!
Rumble—
The underground corridor suddenly began to shake continuously.
Griss frowned tightly, as a projection screen popped up in front of him, showing a warning of the approach of a giant bug.
Yang Ming’s voice sounded abruptly, “Captain Griss, have your team retreat!”
“Retreat! Retreat! Fall back!”
Griss didn’t hesitate for a mont, using all his might to yell through the public channel.
The team of more than one hundred thirty people sprang into action preternaturally fast, the Supermodified people demonstrating astonishing efficiency; those who had been resting were instantly back in combat readiness.
One vector thruster after another spat out flas, and the entire group retreated upward in unison.
The passageway below suddenly collapsed!
The hard rock layers scattered down like a disassembled puzzle, and a huge shadow rose from below, with six eyes two ters in diater flickering with a faint green light.
“The Land Expansion Worm!”
“Head diater exceeds sixty ters!”
“Shit! It’s going to swallow us!”
“Concentrate firepower! Take it down!”
Lasers sprayed from the chanical arms on Griss’s back, emitting brilliant lines of light which made the hundreds of ters of the corridor as bright as day.
The carapace of the giant Land Expansion Worm montarily showed blackened marks, but its speed toward the charge was undiminished.
“Catherine!” Bryant called out with an enchanting smile, light flickering from his helt, producing a dolphin-like chant from his mouth. The spiritual power he had been releasing reservedly and continuously transford into a surging sea.
The six eyes of the Land Expansion Worm flickered, seemingly confused.
Catherine roared with a low growl, wielding the Ship-Slicing Blade with both hands; behind her, countless tiny circles appeared on the Golden Battle Armor, weaving a semi-circular protective shield.
She flew near the top of the tunnel at breakneck speed, her body flipping continuously, and the Ship-Slicing Blade struck down fiercely!
Green bug blood splattered in all directions, the massive head of the Land Expansion Worm trembled, and its terrifying mouth opened, ready to swallow Catherine whole.
