Chapter 812 309: Starfire Town at Their Backs
The Black Armored Warriors from Tianyuan Military Industry were not the final straw that broke the camel's back, but rather a heavy weight crashing onto the scales.
The Starfire Army's painstakingly created situational advantage was instantly flattened by relentless firepower, and a severe breach was opened.
The Black Armored Warriors landed precisely at the rear of the temporary defensive structures built by the Starfire Army, like a sharp knife stabbing into the Starfire Army's position.
Under Yujin's unified command, the Starfire Army's response was not slow; they launched at least three rounds of concentrated fire before the opponents landed, but the results were less than ideal.
The opponents chose such a high-profile way to arrive, naturally not foolishly becoming a live target in the air.
More than a dozen heavy Black Armored Warriors activated their shields as they landed.
A layer of energy shield, typically only seen on Level Six Ruined Beasts, dispersed, protecting all the Black Armored Warriors from above.
All direct fire from the Starfire Army could only hit the shield.
Though the explosions appeared brilliant and dazzling, they were essentially useless.
Only a small number of missiles, able to adjust their trajectory post-launch, barely curved around the shield to aim at the Black Armored Warriors.
However, rays of energy weapons' light burst repeatedly from the enemy formation's edges, shooting out to prematurely detonate all the missiles.
Ren Zhong gritted his teeth in anger, hating fiercely in his heart.
He was very familiar with this shield; it was the super strong shield that had appeared in the battle between the Legion Beast led by the Mengdu Group and Starfire Town.
Tianyuan Military Industry equipped these men so well that Starfire Town's firepower advantage was instantly diminished.
The Black Armored Warriors landed with a thud, scattering immediately, charging in all directions.
This tactic not only avoids concentrated fire from the Fortress Cannon but also spreads panic by inflicting a large number of casualties instantly.
Originally ambushed here, Shi Lin, who planned to catch the Alliance Army off guard, was forced to jump out of his cover and face the enemy head-on.
Although Shi Lin had just recently been promoted to Level Five Armored Soldier, thanks to Starfire Town's military industry system, which, though lacking production capacity, had significantly advanced under Ren Zhong's leadership and the guidance of Ju Qingmeng's family, he possessed a whole set of customized exoskeleton equipment beyond that of ordinary Armored Soldiers.
The difference between a Mechanical Warrior and an Armored Soldier is usually that Mechanical Warriors have a more standard physique, a higher brain-machine synchronization rate, and continuous armor training, making it easy to obtain standard equipment and adapt quickly.
An Armored Soldier's brain-machine synchronization rate is far less than that of a same-level Mechanical Warrior, and their physiques vary, possessing unique abilities.
If an Armored Soldier is not allowed to utilize their abilities, relying solely on equipment, actual combat power is not enhanced but rather declines.
To truly make equipment and soldier create an effect greater than their sum, customization and personalized equipment creation are necessary.
Normally, Armored Soldiers don't receive such treatment, but in Starfire Town, all Fourth Level or higher Armored Soldiers have received some assistance from Ju Qingmeng's Armored Laboratory; Level Five warriors like Bai Feng and Shi Lin received the best treatment.
After Shi Lin suddenly burst out, he, with the assistance of several Fourth Level Professionals hiding with him, instantly killed a Fourth Level Black Armored Warrior.
But this was not an "auspicious beginning."
The opponents seemed to have anticipated this ambush force, already prepared to sacrifice someone to lure the enemy out.
The opponents immediately responded.
Three Level Five warriors, who had just scattered, charged directly towards them.
Additionally, nearly thirty Fourth Level warriors began closing in on the location where Shi Lin had revealed himself.
In this process, the battle situation changed rapidly.
Under Yujin's command, the Starfire Army began rapidly adjusting their formation.
Three thousand soldiers started moving downward, increasing the distance from where the Black Armored Warriors had landed, while furiously unleashing firepower to stop the lower Alliance Army from advancing upwards. This group was mainly composed of Heavy Type Mecha Soldiers and high-defense Armored Soldiers, with a few Blast Masters mixed in.
Another two thousand soldiers began moving upward.
These individuals shared a common trait of possessing relatively strong communication devices and long-range ballistic firepower, primarily composed of Gunsmiths.
The remaining four thousand soldiers then began converging comprehensively towards the Black Armored Warriors, intending to engage in close combat.
The common trait among these four thousand soldiers was that they were all Balanced type Mechanical Warriors and high-agility Armored Soldiers.
Simultaneously, over a dozen fortresses dispersed on the mountain activated enhanced external armor, shut down their weapon systems, and turned on high-powered, all-functional battlefield scanning and information transmission devices.
