    Chapter 271 Enemy Attack (Part 2)

    At 3 pm on February 21st, in the cave formation of the Kanas Mountains located at 51.55 west longitude and 23.25 south latitude of the planet Hayden, the Imperial Emperor Robin, who was alone deep in the cave, was surrounded by the Insat ground troops and brazenly  The first shot was fired in what will henceforth be called the 'Millennium Battle of the Large Magellanic Cloud'.

    "Barit! ~Blow up all the corridors for me, Zoro, cover the retreat of the surveyors and defend that blind corner!~"

    In the open space of the underground cave, which covers an area of ??nearly 10,000 square meters, in a short period of time, overwhelming strange-shaped creatures poured out from various cave entrances like a honeycomb. There were only nine real-life creatures rushing towards Robin.  small unit of combatants

    Facing such a huge number, Robin was caught off guard.  Although due to the critical situation, many prospectors also picked up their guns and joined the battle, the firepower network formed by a mere dozen people was unable to block the advance of the insect tide army.  In less than a minute, nearly 10,000 strange and different types of biological weapons were thrown into this empty battlefield.

    In response to this actual situation, Robin, who has extensive combat experience, immediately changed his defense strategy.  Commanding Barritt, who serves as the fireman?  Tabor used 'Venom Bee' rockets to destroy all the tunnel exits within sight, trying to use the collapsed rocks to prevent the Insat from investing more troops.  At the same time, the defense line held by the combat team was also moved from the center of the open area with wide terrain and wide vision to the only blind spot in this open area with a height of only about three meters and no nearby corridors.

    After moving the defensive position, Robin and a dozen other people immediately used the opening in the blind spot area, which was only about seven meters wide, to lay out a dense firepower network, focusing all the firepower in the team in one direction.  In this situation, the dense army of alien creatures concentrated in the open ground became a target that was crowded together and unable to move. As long as the bullets were poured out as much as possible, without even aiming, Robin and a dozen people could rely on the terrain.  Kill enemy troops on a large scale.

    If we only consider it from a tactical level, Robin's tactical change is undoubtedly very clever.  After all, once out of an open area surrounded by enemies, Robin can fully rely on the terrain to maximize their firepower advantage.  As long as the Insat's insect wave attack only maintains the current attack intensity, and Robin's side has enough ammunition reserves to maintain the intensity of the firepower network, they can persist in this desperate situation for a long time.

    But if you think about it from another aspect, Robin's tactical choice is equivalent to completely giving up the possibility of the team's retreat and placing all bets on holding on.  This means that if the Insat further increase their attack intensity and invest in truly powerful troops, or if the reinforcements that Robin expects do not arrive within the time limit that they can persist, then their team will definitely be destroyed and will never be able to survive.  No chance of survival.

    This was a gamble in the true sense. Robin, who had been good at taking risks and taking advantage of the fire since the army, also gambled his life without hesitation this time.

    However, regardless of whether Robin's gamble was correct or not, judging from the current situation, after changing the defensive deployment, the attack pressure faced by the team suddenly dropped sharply.  Under the intense barrage, no creature could come within ten meters of the defense line. And Barritt, who was equipped with a large number of large-caliber heavy firepower weapons?  Under the cover of everyone, Tabor transformed into a humanoid fort, causing thousands of casualties in an instant and completely clearing out a large area of ??the originally dense insect swarm.

    And after nearly six or seven minutes of intensive attacks, Robin let Barritt?  The effect of Tabor's first blow up of various corridors began to be gradually reflected.  Although some of the collapsed tunnel entrances have been forcibly cleared by the biological army raised by the Insat people, this has greatly delayed the input of troops by the Insat people.  Gradually, as the number of enemy attacks on the battlefield continued to decrease, three knights with strong melee capabilities, including Robin, Zoro, and Leona, began to break away from the defense line and conduct tentative tactical counterattacks.

    ¡°Leona, something¡¯s wrong, these things are not the main force of the Insat people, they are just ordinary creatures!~¡±

    After tentatively rushing into the center of the enemy army and fighting against these biological weapons, most of which were crustacean creatures, Robin found that their combat effectiveness was simply not comparable to the Insat people he had fought against.  Not to mention that these things do not have the extremely powerful electric field ability of the Insat people. In terms of reaction speed and attack strength, they are not on the same level at all. Even the hardness of the carapace is hugely different from Robin's impression.

    "Yes, these creatures should not be biological armor cultivated by the Insat people. Judging from their structure, they should be just some experimental species." Due to the weak combat effectiveness of the enemy, personallyLeona, whose strength is already very close to that of a saint, appears to be at ease on the battlefield.  While using several invisible 'psychic tentacles' to strangle all hostile creatures within the attack range, she even had time to grab some of the stumps to study the internal structure of these creatures.

    "Experimental species" After getting this conclusion from Leona's mouth, a bold guess immediately emerged in Robin's mind.

    Obviously, the current situation is that the Insat people have discovered that their human team has invaded their core territory, and the constant battles with humans in the past few years have also made them understand that the human species has powerful instant killing capabilities.  force.  Relying on the large-scale firepower advantage created by technology in space, as long as the accurate location is captured, it means that humans can annihilate their entire race in an instant.

    Therefore, when we learned that a human team had entered this core area of ??our own.  The Insat people immediately decided to move quickly, moving all the main force of the race deeper and closer to the underground of the lava layer.  However, since this is the critical moment when the 'Dragon Chrysalis' is about to emerge from its cocoon, for future considerations, they cannot completely abandon this shallow base and truly go underground.

    The current situation is also a desperate situation that is difficult to decide for the Insat people. Therefore, when Robin began to think from the perspective of the Insat people, when Robin began to look at the situation in front of him from the standpoint of the Insat people, he immediately discovered that  In fact, there is only one option that the Insat people can choose, and that is to use a large number of failed experimental products that will be eliminated to hold back the pace of exploration of Robin's team, while their main force is dispersed into multiple forces and transferred to multiple directions.  This will confuse the target, making it impossible for humans to confirm which troop is carrying the real 'Dragon Chrysalis' eggs.  As long as it is not accurately positioned by humans, humans' powerful space rail guns will not be able to function, and they will be able to delay the time to complete the emergence of the 'dragon chrysalis'.  As long as the 'Dragon Chrysalis' can survive the cocoon-breaking period and enter the lava layer that humans cannot penetrate, then the Insat people will have won the final victory on the battlefield of Planet Hayden.

    "Damn it!~They are going to run away!~"

    After understanding the Insat people's tactical intentions, Robin suddenly became extremely anxious.  Because judging from the current situation, it is obvious that they are very close to the 'Dragon Chrysalis' egg, and are only one step away from capturing the most dangerous 'nuclear weapon' of the Insat people.  And if the Insat people are allowed to successfully implement their transfer plan and spend these dozens of hours using multiple transfers of troops, then the 'nuclear weapon' that successfully gained freedom will completely make the Insat people  Occupy the dominance of the future, and humans will have to withdraw from the planet Hayden.

    If we only look at it on paper, perhaps withdrawing from the planet Hayden due to the failure of a warrior is not a big loss.  But in fact, if there is no Planet Hayden, the only planet in the Quinnier System with a certain natural living environment, then the empire will definitely lose the other two inferior planets in the Quinnier System in the future.  When the imperial forces withdraw from the Kunir system, the empire loses its most important offensive bridgehead in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

    It can be said that the existence of Hayden Planet as a strategic key point will directly determine whether the Empire can build the Large Magellanic Cloud into a vast strategic buffer zone against the Insat people in the future.  Race will play a critical role in future survival.  Therefore, as the emperor of the empire, Robin would never be able to watch this opportunity being lost in front of him.

    "No, we can't just sit here and wait for death. We have to go deeper and we must not let these reptiles escape under our noses!~"

    The anxious Robin waved the broad-edged sword in his hand, cutting a bloody path through the flying broken limbs. Looking from above, Robin at this moment was like a sharp dagger.  The flesh and blood pounced directly on the nearby entrance of the corridor that had been opened.

    However, at this moment, the roar of a heavy object suddenly sounded.

    Robin escaped and saw a giant black beetle the size of a heavy armored vehicle suddenly breaking through the wall from a blocked hole, and behind it, dozens of creatures equipped with 'Formate Ants'  The armored Insat light infantry followed closely and appeared in Robin's field of vision.

    The moment this small force appeared, Robin and other warriors with keen senses focused their attention on them.

    Although in terms of appearance, this small team that just appeared is not much different from the things they killed.  However, when they appeared, a heavy pressure that seemed to be suffocating suddenly came over, and all the attacking biological armies seemed to welcome their kings, and at the same time they erupted with a harsh and earth-shattering hiss¡­¡­
