Chapter 282 Familiar People
During Amber's "Star Sky OL" gaming career, he has never seen a real Forerunner battleship in the game.
Those ‘Forerunner Unmanned Legions’ that have become enemies of large guild-level groups are also Forerunner creations.
But in terms of positioning, they are just an 'auxiliary corps', which is still very different from the real forerunners.
The official background setting of this civilization was not released soon. Some small amount of background stories are also hidden in the game's plot waiting for players to explore on their own.
And some senior "examination parties" can tell at a glance that this "Forerunner Civilization" can be said to be a stitched monster with a lot of science fiction game settings after just looking at some corner fragments.
But even so, until Amber traveled through, apart from discovering some ruins and creations, the players had never seen any of the Forerunners with their own eyes, let alone their spaceships and battleships.
Only in some stone carvings and murals made by unknown races, we have seen some scenes that are suspected of Forerunner warships 'burning the earth'.
These scenes, as well as the uniquely shaped spaceships in the scenes, can be said to be highly overlapped with the scene in front of Amber.
“So this is really a Forerunner warship. Why are they attacking cities on the ground? Are these people running away humans?”
Amber looked at the spacecraft suspended in the air in the distance and pouring firepower towards the ground, as well as the people running around.
After confirming that what was in front of her was just an illusion and that she was more of a 'viewer', Amber no longer had the panic she had at the beginning.
Anyway, I should, probably, probably won't be hurt, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
Right?
Amber opened his legs and walked forward. After realizing that his body seemed to be unrestricted, he started running directly.
Because he didn't know whether the illusion in front of him would suddenly end, he decided to watch it for a while while there was still time.
When the streets were filled with people and vehicles running away, Amber became the only "rebel" on the street, and he also discovered that these people running away were not entirely human beings.
There are also some tall, handsome elves with a pair of iconic pointed ears.
"Huh? These elves actually live together with humans? How many hybrids will there be?"
Before Amber could finish complaining, she heard a voice coming from behind. There was a rapid roar.
Then several huge black figures passed over him at high speed, making him no longer the only 'rebel' on this street.
Amber looked at these huge black figures. They all had humanoid structures similar to HCP.
But compared to what Amber is familiar with, the current mainstream HCP in mankind generally adopts the design style of "little-headed daddy".
These 'humanoid giants' are more similar to the nine-headed body proportions and look more like real humans.
Now these tall steel giants are arranged in some kind of battle formation in the long blue trails ejected from the back propulsion array, and are heading towards the 'Forerunner Battleship' that is raging in the sky.
The weapons in their hands are also diverse, which reflects from the side that the logistics system of this army has serious problems.
Meanwhile, in other areas around the city, squadrons of these HCP-like units sprouted from the streets between buildings.
At the same time as they launched the assault, they were also accompanied by attacks from a large number of ground-to-air fire support units. Beams, ballistic lines of fire, and missiles continued to attack the warships as if they were free of charge. go.
The steel giants in the assault continued to flexibly adjust their body shapes and assault routes, ignoring the interception of these air battleships, and continued to use their weapons to attack the huge targets in front of them.
At a certain moment, Amber could even see a spirit called 'death but no life' in these steel giants, which gradually materialized in their assault.
But unfortunately, their attacks seemed to have no other effect except stimulating some blue ripples on the surfaces of these spacecrafts.
Amber looked at the steel giants at the front of the team, and then at the battleships as stable as mountains in the sky, and she always felt that something was about to happen.
At the same time that this idea flashed through his mind, several large battleships that were targeted for attack suddenly swept out several beams of light.
Immediately afterwards, these almost infinitely long ‘beam sabers’ easily swept across the path of the steel giants’ advance.
The moment the 'giants' were attacked, their whole bodies lit up with light similar to 'shields', but these shields only lasted for less than a moment under the light of the beam, and then they collapsed one after another. Come.
Following the trajectory of these beams sweeping through the air, a series of explosions appeared in the air.
The remains of the steel giants burned, spun, and fell in the air. The loud noise they made when they hit the ground became their last 'roar'.
Amber took a rough sweep and saw that most of the HCPs that just passed over his head were swept away by these weapons that seemed to be self-defense beams, leaving only the last two. He held on and rushed forward.
But they did not last long. After the targets that needed to be intercepted were reduced, these self-defense beams were able to concentrate their firepower on them.
The last surviving steel giant showed extremely high skills and broke into the last distance while dancing in this 'rain of death'.
However, its mechanical arm and stepping unit had been cut off by the beam during the advance, and there were not many weapons left on it.
At this last moment, he used himself as the last weapon without hesitation, and crashed into them like a comet.
Perhaps even the possible gods could not sit back and watch them. The attack was in vain. When the Iron Giant turned into a huge plasma fireball, the battleship's shield also faded away in a burst of blue 'ripples'.
The next second, more violent attacks appeared from all over the city, just like the city's last struggle, pouring all its anger on the battleship. When a thick blue-white beam penetrated the middle of the battleship, the huge battleship finally lost control and fell towards the ground.
But even though the defenders of these cities tried their best, they could only manage to destroy this one battleship.
And within the range that Amber could see with the naked eye, there were four such warships in the sky, attacking the ground.
Amber sped up her pace and passed through one street after another like a gust of wind.
Broken corpses, burning remains of combat vehicles, and those steel giants falling between buildings
These 'scenes' appear more frequently as they get closer to the center of the battlefield. It also started to improve rapidly, and finally it could be seen almost everywhere.
But the strange thing is that he did not see the enemy that should have appeared on this battlefield.
But before he could think about this carefully, he saw a temporary frontline command post appearing on the corner of the street in the distance.
In this front finger, which is almost under the eyes of the ‘enemy’, soldiers are constantly coming in and out, and there are also troops all around that are moving towards the depths of the city.
In the center of the city that Amber could not see, the sound of fierce fighting did not stop for a moment, as if the battle seemed to have no end.
Amber walked into this frontline command post that was obviously full of human style, and found that although the officers inside were hurried and anxious in their steps and movements, they still maintained a calm look on their faces.
The operational staff stared closely at the electronic sand table and continued to conduct temporary deductions.
The communications staff and logistics staff were in front of the terminal, communicating quickly with the people at the other end of the line, and occasionally uttering a few curse words.
“The guards of the Elven Court have joined the second assault group, and the last few Imperial Silencers who can still move will also join the battle. They will attack the enemy's 'arrival area' in five minutes. If we launch another attack, do we still have long-range firepower to support it?”
“No, the attack just now has exhausted our final ammunition reserves of self-propelled artillery, rockets, and tactical missiles. 3 days ago City After the peripheral mobile ammunition production center was targeted, we have already cut off the supply."
"Fuck! If there is no long-range firepower to weaken the enemy's defensive force field, their attack will have a big problem! ”
A combat officer who looked like a Roma man hammered the electronic sandbox hard, causing the picture displayed on it to shake.
“Stop hammering, this is the last electronic sand table. If you break it, we will have to go back to hand-drawing and look at the city planning drawings from decades ago.”
"Smash an orbital defense platform down? Although this thing has lost its ability to attack, if you control them and smash them down, it can still achieve the effect of orbital strike!"
"No, the variables are too big. If it hits us on the head, there’s no need to hit us.”
Just as several combat staff officers on the side of the electronic sandbox were getting entangled, the terminal in the hands of a communications staff officer on the other side fell to the ground, followed by his entire body. Also collapsed to the ground.
Several companions around him quickly supported him and prevented the communications officer from falling completely.
“What’s going on?”
“Major General Murat and Major General Louis were killed in the attack just now. It was General Murat who finally detonated the small fusion reactor of the machine body, destroying the enemy. "Fang Battleship's Shield"
The moment she heard these two names, Amber felt her heart skip a beat.
He never expected that he would hear his familiar name in this illusion.
Duplicate name? Could there be such a coincidence?
As soon as this thought flashed through Amber's mind, she saw a strong figure walking in from outside the gate of the command post.
He looked closely and saw a wolf-headed man wearing a combat exoskeleton and carrying an electromagnetic machine gun.
On the shoulder armor plate of his exoskeleton, there is also a symbol that Amber is very familiar with, which represents a general in the Atlas military rank system, spray-painted.
"Admiral Hogg! Why are you pointing forward?!"
"Yes! It's too dangerous here, Admiral Hogg! Go back to the rear!"
After seeing the wolf-headed man, the combat staff stepped forward to dissuade him.
And Amber also saw a familiar shadow on this 'wolf-headed man' general.
"Huh, where is the rear? This is the final battlefield!"
Admiral Hogg's tone was very serious, but just when he was about to say something more, he saw In the direction of Amber.
At this moment, Amber seemed to feel that this gaze traveled through time and looked directly at herself.
And the eyes of this fierce-looking wolf-headed man also became hazy at this moment.
A voice of surprise, disbelief, doubt, but at the same time igniting hope, reached Amber's ears.
“Boss?!”
