The plan was actually a very simple one. They would charge the enemy lines and blitz them from the side before they realized what was going on.
Using high explosives from the Mass Drivers, they could tear apart the bulwarks at the trenches, dismantle the bunkers and dig out the enemy before they had ti to mount a proper defence.
"Alright, here is the deploynt plan. I think it's about simple enough. It will be a straight blitz with aerial bombardnt using the Mass Drivers. We will have the Android unit take the flying position, as it will attract more attention and be the first to fire. While they are up, we will charge the lines and clear them out.
If we start taking fire from the defenders, back off and order the Androids to cease fire.
They should learn quickly enough that we're not going to help them if they shoot at us."
That was enough for Nico, and she imdiately began clarifying the deploynt orders to the Androids so that they would stay in the air and disengage at the proper ti instead of targeting the new threat if the locals attacked them.
The cha used their thrusters to fly along just over the ground once they got a kilotre away from the shuttle, not particularly concerned about being detected early, as they would be attacking in under a minute, and the enemy was already in combat.
The tactical mistake bothered Max a bit, as he was inclined to make it a stealth mission, but there really wasn't a benefit to startling the defenders, and the attack was sure to take out the blood-soaked attackers.
The thrusters were nearly silent as the force glided through the scattered trees of the grasslands toward the enemy trenches. Even if they were spotted, it didn't change anything in the ongoing battle.
The laser blasts still traced lines between the two forces, while Plasma balls flew through the sky and large numbers of solid projectiles slamd into the walls in front of the defenders.
The rounds weren't on par with the Mass Drivers, but they were far beyond any other handheld solid projectile weapons that Max or Nico had seen in this life.
There were so in his mory, rocket-propelled grenades that caused this level of massive damage, but they were so obscure that he hadn't imdiately recognized them when he saw them in use here.
[Oh, there are good things here. The plasma isn't anything special, but those rocket grenades look fun. Hopefully, at least one of them survives this.] Nico cheered when they were close enough to properly inspect the enemy's wargear.
[We're not holding back so you can find a new toy.] Max warned her.
[I wouldn't dream of asking. Besides, I can reassemble one from pieces, and I can likely replicate it even without any parts now that I've seen it in action and asured its abilities.]
[Android unit in position. Comncing bombardnt.] The squad leader inford them a mont later, milliseconds before the first explosions of the Mass Driver rounds began in the trenches.
[Charge!] Nico cheered as she pushed her cha toward the front lines.
In the remains of their fortifications, the huge warriors were doing their best to weather the bombardnt under makeshift shields or charging out of the trenches to challenge one of the two forces that were suppressing them.
Those were the best options that they were left with, and most of them didn't seem to mind that they were charging into near-certain death as their commanders ordered them toward the smaller aliens' lines, assuming that Max's force was reinforcents for them.
The defenders began to panic as the warriors closed with them, but the enemy numbers were falling fast as the cha bombarded the trenches.
[Faster, stupid cha, the battle is going to end before we get there.] Nico was thinking to herself as she raced across the field at over eight hundred kilotres an hour.
She hit the first warrior so hard that his armour cracked without her even using a weapon, and Nico's energy barrier flared to life as the impact brought her to a stop within the lee range of the warriors.
Her Fusion Flar flared to life, and the trench line turned to an inferno, filled with screams and the sound of armour popping as the warriors inside boiled and exploded.
[The armour plating is exceptionally resistant to fire, but it seems that the ones which aren't properly sealed don't regulate temperature.] Nico noted as the inferno continued.
Max could sense the horror of the smaller aliens, and it wasn't for the enemy that was now reaching their lines. They were taking heavy casualties due to the warriors' far superior combat skills, but even then, the horrors of a trench line engulfed in Mass Driver explosions and Fusion Flas were enough that the deaths of their comrades seed trivial.
[Halt the aerial bombardnt of the trenches. Let's clear them out from up close.] Max ordered.
[The bombardnt didn't collapse their bunkers.] Nico noted as Max's thermal scans detected a large heat spot from her targeting one with the Fusion Flar.]
[Understood. We will dig them out of their holes.] Khan agreed.
Max ducked into one of the bunkers, finding it empty but well-constructed with so sort of advanced concrete. They had only been here a few hours, but the walls were solid and durable. They must have had so sort of advanced construction technology, but Max wasn't sure if it would survive the assault.
The sound of movent behind him made Max twirl just in ti to catch the edge of a viciously serrated axe with his shield, nearly losing it from the force of the blow.
The warrior scread a guttural battle cry as it advanced on Max in the tight confines of the bunker, but Max wasn't feeling like an honourable duel today and decided to hit it with the Disintegrators.
That turned out to be the wrong answer, as the warrior's armour was cleansed of blood and paint, but the armour itself held strong, and the warrior's attacks didn't slow.
"Fine, we will do this the hard way," Max muttered as he sensed the warrior's pleasure at its resilience against what it viewed as witchcraft.
