Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 174 The Battle of Leviathan ([-])

"It seems that the commander of the First Fleet is also very afraid of the 'replication' ability of those bugs." Ke Lan said.

All the battleships of the First Fleet are only conducting long-range bombardment several kilometers away, and have no intention of continuing to move forward. In this way, even if one's own battleship is unfortunately shot down, it will not fall on Leviathan's body, and thus suffer Copy to the other side.

The four attacking "Guard" mechas all carried a strangely shaped railgun. The barrel length of this gun was nearly 20 meters, which reserved a sufficient length of acceleration trajectory for the projectiles in the barrel. If it hits, it can directly blow up a Leviathan "copied" fighter jet - the four mechas just flew past in front of the formation, and they have already shot down 39 enemy planes.

"There is indeed something about this aiming head. Even with an auxiliary aiming system, it is very impressive to be able to achieve a hit rate of more than [-]% at this speed of movement." The hound said quite admiringly.

Among the 39 kills, more than half were achieved by the mech numbered "Zhai-167". At this time, all his railgun shells had been fired, and the long and thin barrel He got up and retracted the quilt on his back, switched the weapon to the large-caliber cannon installed on the arms of the mecha, and began to straf the approaching enemy planes.

The number of fighters copied by Leviathan is really too much. Even with the fire support of the fleet, the four mechs are still in a hard fight.

"Hurry up and send people to reinforce the house god!" Layton clenched his fists and shouted anxiously, "What does the commander of the fleet think? Does he think that these four mechas can kill all these ghosts? ?"

"This should still be a test." Ke Lan said with a frown, "but what puzzles me is what is the purpose of their test... Could it be that the commander of the fleet has specific countermeasures? These four The mecha is just to verify the feasibility of this countermeasure?"

Although the number of downed four "Guards" mechs is rising steadily, more and more enemy planes are approaching them. When they focused all their attention on the frontal enemy, a duplicated mecha However, the Night Owl-class fighter quietly launched an attack from below, heading straight for one of the blue and gray "Guard" mechas.

The crimson laser beams are continuously fired from the front muzzle of the "Night Owl", but this lightweight energy weapon can't break through the shield of the "Guard" mecha at all—— The distance between the attackers was rapidly shrinking, and just as the "Night Owl" was about to slam into it head-on, the blue-gray painted "Guard" mecha suddenly dodged sideways and pulled out a gun from its waist. He stabbed down quickly with the short knife, directly piercing through the cabin of the "Ye Owl class"!

"Pretty!" Layton cheered, but in the next second, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

The "Night Owl" that was pierced did not explode, but countless slender fleshy tentacles extended from the fuselage, frantically entangled with the mecha that was close at hand. The pilot of the mecha seemed to want to He tried to evade, but one of the fastest tentacles had already penetrated into the nozzle of the thruster on the back of the mech, and accompanied by an explosion, thick black smoke spewed out from the thruster.

The mecha that lost its main power was quickly surrounded by "replicators" swarming up, more tentacles bound him tightly, wrapped it into a huge meat ball, and shot straight towards the fall--

The innocuous myth of Yazhi Yazhi's team has finally been completely shattered today.

But including Zhai-167, the remaining three "Guard" mechas had no intention of retreating at all. Not only that, but they transformed into faster fighter jets, facing Levi below. Tan swoops away!

"They... what are they going to do?" Layton rubbed his eyes in disbelief, "Could it be that their bodies still carry large-yield bombs?"

"No...their mission is to search..." Ke Lan held his breath, "They are searching for the vital points on Leviathan's body to determine the target for the fleet's next critical attack!"

The three "Guards" mechas almost flew over the energy shield on the surface of Leviathan, and behind them were "replicators" like bee swarms, including several "replicators" Even because the charge was too strong, it directly hit Leviathan's shield and exploded!

As Ke Lan said, the "Guard" mecha did not launch an attack on Leviathan, but after being pulled up into the air, it plunged down and swept past along another trajectory. Several times, the shield of the mech rubbed against Leviathan's shield, dragging streaks of brilliant flames.

Another mecha was "bitten" by two replica machines, but before those tentacles could penetrate the inside of the mecha, the pilot of the mecha resolutely took the two mechas that had turned into tentacle monsters The replicator crashed into the shield below, and chose to die with the enemy!
……

After four dives, only the "Zhai-167" body was left in the entire team, and his energy reserve had bottomed out. Not only could it no longer maintain the body's energy shield, even its flying speed was slow. It's not as good as before, and it looks like it's about to be caught up by the duplicating machines.

But at this moment, the voice of Zhaijian Yazhi suddenly rang through the communication channel of the entire fleet, and even Ke Lan and the others could hear it clearly: "I found it! I found it! Coordinates 522, 794, depth 880 meters! I'm looking for—"

His voice stopped abruptly, and a crimson light beam penetrated the cockpit of the "Guard" mecha. The next moment, the entire mecha disintegrated in the explosion, and the debris fell from the sky trailing thick smoke.

"House God... died in battle?" Layton stretched out his hand, and pinched his face forcefully, "Oh... shit... It's true, House God..."

When Layton was still in shock for a long time and couldn't recover, the flagship of the First Fleet moved.

Numerous small escape boats flew out from the hatches of the flagship, and then, the flagship began to accelerate gradually, rushing towards Leviathan.

"What... what is this for?" Zhuoligetu stared round his eyes, looking at the flagship rushing towards the gunfire of the replica machine alone and asked.

"...It was a suicide attack." Ke Lan, who was the first to react, said, "I understand... Masayoshi Zhaijian and his team marked the vital parts of Leviathan's body at the cost of their own lives, and then Launch the flagship with only a minimum number of operators as a 'cannonball', and the super-large crystalline engine inside the flagship is the explosive in this cannonball... Leviathan's energy shield can block the fleet's bombardment, but it can't block it. Can't live with this super-massive 'cannonball'!"

The reason for this is the same as those monsters who attacked the base of the Soma Consortium before: Although the energy shield of the base can stop the acid spit out by those monsters, if these monsters choose to forcibly hit the shield, as the energy body The shield of the Leviathan can't stop them... Similarly, although Leviathan's shield can instantly vaporize all the physical shells fired at it, if the mass of this "cannonball" is large enough, in the If the shield is penetrated before it is completely ablated by the shield, then the shield is completely useless to it.

"If you don't move, you'll be fine, if you move like a thunderbolt, you only want to succeed with one blow... This is the plan of the First Fleet... I'm really curious, what kind of person is the commander of this fleet..."

"You will never have a chance to see him again." The Hound suddenly sighed heavily, and said to Ke Lan, "In addition to the minimum number of operators, the commander who finalized this battle plan and the captain of the flagship must also have Stay on this ship—anyone can abandon ship, but they won't..."

After the hound finished speaking, he straightened his back suddenly, and saluted the accelerating flagship.

After a long time, Layton told Ke Lan in a chat: He has never seen the old dog's saluting posture so standard in his life.
