Upon hearing Clark's words, Brick—the commander on duty sneered, and in a somewhat disdainful tone, he said, "It's really too difficult for all the troops of the Gamma Empire to reach the same level as the Hammer Troop."
"Let's take the most ordinary troop of machine gun soldiers as an example. The value of a single Versailles Suit is already enough to arm several hundred ordinary soldiers, let alone the cost of the enhanced version of Kalin machine gun, which is several times that of an ordinary one."
"So that is to say, the Hammer Troop is more valuable mostly because of its sophisticated and expensive equipment..." Rio said in a low voice.
"No, you're wrong!" Brick said coldly.
Everyone looked at Brick silently. It seemed that he was going to tell them something more important.
"Other than the fact that the equipment level of the Hammer Troop is much higher than that of ordinary troops, the main reason why th
"What's up? Are you feeling frustrated again?" Kyd asked with a faint smile on his face.Carl gave a wry smile as an answer to Kyd's question. He once felt frustrated because of Drizzt's performance in the shooting range. He tried using a sniper rifle two days ago, about which he was still feeling excited, and now he saw the performance of the Ghost Squad."Kyd, now I really doubt if it is suitable for me to practice the Shooting-combating Skill..." Carl hesitated for a moment and then said seriously.Hearing these words, Kyd froze for a moment and then burst out laughing. After that, he continued, "It's important to know your limitations. You can motivate yourself to move forward only when you know your own limitations, but you have gone too far. Now you have the feeling of self-abasement, don't you?""I... but I indeed feel a little unconfident after the blows that I have experienced recently. I used to think that my shoot
"It's not right! There's something wrong!" After killing another six-legged bug, Carl frowned and said."What's wrong?" Rio leaned over to Carl and asked, feeling a little worried.Rio might be able to stay calm in the face of some common problems, but when it came to battles, his fighting instinct was much weaker than that of Carl.That was the reason why there was a popular saying among the trainees when they were on the training camp: "Ask Carl when it comes to external affairs, and ask Rio when it comes to internal affairs.""Think about the number of bugs and the intensity of their attacks when we tackled the hive a few days ago..."After hearing those words, Rio thought for a while, and then the look on his face suddenly changed. Thanks to Carl's reminder, he indeed found a problem."There are too few of them..." Rio said with a sullen look on his face.That was right. It seemed t
"Watch out! It's going to explode!" The soldiers of the Hammer Troop attacking the hatchery shouted and retreated.Having been hit by countless bullets, the hatchery finally failed to withstand the attack. Blood spurted out of all the arteries in its body. It wailed helplessly, and its whole huge body blew up."Wow, be careful!" When John saw the bloody debris flying towards him, a look of disgust came over his face. He had no choice but to cover the area in front of him and the others with his fire screen.The falling pieces of debris were completely vaporized by the burning hot fire screen. Not a single drop of them fell on Carl and the others."Your fire screen is quite useful, John!" Clark said with a smile. Although those falling pieces of debris could not cause any harm, no one wanted to be contaminated by those disgusting things for no good reason.John snorted unhappily. He was still mad at himself for n
After receiving Brick's order, the reconnaissance team of the Hammer Troop, which was originally on alert mission, immediately changed direction and headed toward the second hive.However, as soon as they arrived at the periphery of the second hive, they fell into an ambush of the bug swarm."Signalman, have you sent the signal for backup?""Damn it! These hateful bugs have brought flying snakes here. The poisonous clouds created by them have blocked the electrical signals! Sir, the signal for backup has been completely blocked!"When they were talking, numerous clouds of pale yellow fog shrouded the sky above their heads. More than ten flying snakes were hovering above these clouds, wriggling their long bodies."Sir, the attacks of the bugs are too fierce! Almost all members in the front have been injured!"The commander frowned and looked behind him. The road leading to the second hive had long be
"This guy! It's just a breakthrough to the First Spirit Level. Look how excited he is!" Rio muttered unhappily. Carl couldn't help laughing when he saw the frustrated look on Rio's face."Alright, let's help them get rid of these bugs as soon as possible. Otherwise, the soldiers besieged by the bugs will soon be wiped out." Carl reminded, trying to hold back his smile.Rio sighed helplessly, feeling a little embarrassed, and said, "Carl, the two of you have reached the First Spirit Level. Please teach me how to do that."Rio thought for a while and continued. "After all, the three of us are all rookies. Both of you have reached the First Spirit Level. I'm the only one with the initial War Spirit. It seems that I have fallen behind..."Carl chuckled. He had never thought that a calm person like Rio would become so anxious."Okay. I'll tell you the trick of promotion to the First Spirit Level...""Wel
"Messenger, haven't you gotten in touch with Brick's reinforcements?"The messenger was sweating profusely, and he kept pressing the radio button. However, the electronic signals of the radio were completely blocked by the poisonous clouds generated by the flying snakes in the sky, and no message could be sent out."Sir, more than half of the soldiers at the periphery have been killed or wounded. There are currently no signs showing that the charges of the bugs will weaken. If the reinforcements can't arrive here in time, the swarms of bugs will directly rip through and break down our defensive line!"The commander furrowed his brows and looked in all directions from the distance. There were still countless bugs approaching them. At this moment, he actually felt a little desperate."We have come to this area according to Brick's order. If everything is going well on his side, his men should be on their way to the second hive
Carl and the others at the periphery were not aware of the danger below the poisonous clouds. When they reached the peripheral area of the second hive, the bugs changed their strategy of attack relying on small swarms, and large swarms of bugs were rushing over."Everyone, press on! We must get rid of these bugs as soon as possible. The harder they try to stop us, the more endangered our friendly forces under the poisonous clouds will be!""Ghost Squad, immediately the sniping mission. Restore communication with them as soon as possible!""Roger that!" The captain of the Ghost Squad made a hand gesture and led about ten members of the Ghost Squad and Carl to move quickly to a small slope not far away under the cover of the other members."Well, now that we have a temporary new member today, let me make it clear about the rules again!""First! Never try to aim at two targets at the same time. Never change your ta
"It's a pack of thunder beasts! Holy smoke! There are at least six thunder beasts. Sir, what should we do?" Looking at those giant thunder beasts that were charging at them, even the soldiers of the Hammer Troop couldn't help feeling a little scared.The commander looked at the six vicious thunder beasts. The smaller bugs along the way were crushed to pieces by the thunder beasts' footsteps."Are we going to be finished?" The commander felt for the first time that it was utterly impossible for his men to survive."Sir! What should we do?" As the thunder beasts approached them, the soldiers of the Hammer Troop finally began to panic. They couldn't help but urge the commander, because they had not received an order from him yet."All available soldiers, concentrate all your fire and immediately stop the thunder beasts. We mustn't let them break into our defensive line!" At this moment, the commander could only make such an arr
