Chapter 1072 - Steel and Blood

Chapter 1072: Steel and Blood

For the people who were in Paltamo, it was just a blink of an eye before the roar of collision between steel and earth came from a few kilometers away.

The producer of Finnish Radio and Television quickly eyed the reporters. It didn’t take long before the helicopter took off again and rushed toward the military base. Not only the media was interested in the Orbital Airborne Brigade of Celestial Trade, even the British and Finnish military sent two helicopters.

Ceremonially, it was to provide support to Celestial Trade when necessary, but in fact, everyone understood their intention.

Through the satellite, Jiang Chen saw the little tricks of Finland and the United Kingdom, but he didn’t mind. Since he revealed the power armor, he did not intend to keep it a secret any longer.

This “mini brigade” only consisted of 200 soldiers and was formed two years ago. The reason why he kept it a secret till now was on one hand, the enemy in his surrounding lacked combat capability. There wasn’t any reason for him to flex his power. On the other hand, he was worried about causing a regional arms race and affecting his economic development plan.

The reason why he revealed it now was because the two concerns no longer applied.

As for why, it was a story after the end of the war.

Fifty airdrop cabins dropped one by one. The explosion still lingered on the battlefield and two hundred fully armed T3 Power Armors rushed out from the airdrop cabins. They stepped into the spore-filled battlefield and began to converge on the fracture created by the space-based weapons.

Sensing the invasion of uninvited guests, a screeching scream drifted out from the bottom of the deep pit.

“Blade Warriors” shook its wings and leaped out from the abyss. When the bombardment landed, the mutants all hid underground. Now that they sensed living creatures, they could not control their bloodthirsty desire. They just wished to use their claws to tear apart the prey.

However, they were destined to fail. Now they encountered opponents unmatched by the weaklings before.

“ROAR!”

With a piercing scream, a Blade Warrior moved.

The bow-shaped legs moved, and the long wings instantly opened. The two scimitars formed into a pair of scissors and dove into the nearest power armor. If the scissors landed, even steel would be torn open!

But just at that moment, a transparent shield unfolded from the left arm of the power armor. The Blade Warrior slammed into the shield. The power armor remained intact while the two blades faltered.

The long mouth made out a tragic scream.

The Blade Warrior used its arm to protect its head and moved back. However, without gaining any distance, the power armor slammed through it defense with the shield, and then used a tactical dagger the size an arm to penetrate the Blade Warrior’s chest. The dagger slashed down and split the intestines into two halves.

The fight took place in an instant.

Carmen inside the chamber was stunned.

He has never seen such an agile piece of metal. It reminded him of the rumor from a long time ago about Iron man on Coro Island. In fact, as early as the Los Santos Attack, there was a rumor that Celestial Trade created a “steel combat suit.” There were even more unreasonable rumors that Jiang Chen himself was the “Iron man” in Coro City. His own image was too similar to the heir of a Stark industry.

Cold sweat profusely appeared on Carmen’s forehead.

Although he sneered at the rumors, he never thought that Jiang Chen not only created a “steel combat suit” for himself, but also armed an army with something that clearly costed a lot!

While he was shocked, he did not have the luxury of hesitating.

While the size of the army is not big, they are the trump card of Celestial Trade, and hence trump cards must be limited! As long as he survived through the early stages of growth, the entire forest would be included in the nest’s consciousness. In order to hurt Celestial Trade, even if it meant sacrificing all his bugs, he must destroy the trump cards here!

Even if it meant he paid a heavy price.

With that thought in mind, Carmen gritted his teeth and connected his consciousness with the nest. Almost instantaneously, the red blood vessels in the nest began to surge, and the flesh bubbles hidden under the shadows swelled. The sesame-sized pustules soared to the size of mung beans and then exploded to release spores containing frenzy nature.

All the dark green eyes instantly turned crimson.

“ROAR!”

The roar was mixed with violence. All Blade Warriors went mad and dove onto the two hundred power armors. However, before they could get close, they were hit head on by a net weaved by bullets and shells.

These batches of T3 Power Armors were shipped to the modern world and were functionally subdivided in order to adapt to the modern battlefield. The most obvious difference was that the right arm was no longer all mini guns, but designed with mountable accessories such as a grenade launcher, a shield, and a plasma cutting dagger.

The power armors in the front squatted down and raised the shield in the front with eerie blue sparks. The power armors in the back stepped forward and raised the mini guns on the right arm to unleash bullets. Behind them, 72mm anti-vehicle cannons were set up. The power armors were anchored in place and used the destructive cannons to tear up the mutants.

In terms of firepower alone, this two hundred power armored brigade more than doubled the firepower of nearly 1,000 British troops. Taking into account the comprehensive combat capabilities of maneuvering and protection, Jiang Chen could say without exaggeration that the two hundred soldiers could easily beat a NATO division without airstrike support.

A Blade Warrior that rushed in front was shredded into pieces by the firepower, and the mutants who got close were also cut into two pieces by the dagger behind the shield. The mutant’s armor worked great against bullets but was as fragile as tofu against high-energy plasma jets.

Green blood splashed on the battlefield, mixed with the acid from the Spitters. Carmen was determined to take down Celestial Trade and never planned to retreat. The hatching and digestive ability of the nest was operating at its limit!

At the juncture of life and death, he could no longer be conservative. He used all the organic matter and converted it into Blade Warriors and Spitters. Then, he sent them to the frontline.

The only advantage of the swarm was that it didn’t fear death. Under the influence of the nest’s will, even if only one mutant remained, it would rush to the muzzle without hesitation. As the battle began to escalate, there was no distance separating the two sides. It turned into close-range combat.

The power armor was strong but not invincible. Gradually, there were casualties. Carmen was ecstatic. Following this trend, Celestial Trade must be the first to retreat! He then made the decision to use all his organic matter.

However, Carmen’s emotion took a 180-degrees turn. The eager expression gradually turned into despair. Through the eyes of a Blade Warrior, he saw a series of flares descending from the air.

The second round of airdrops arrived.

They were not people, but drone hives.

Before the start of the airdrop, the power armor in combat with mutants maintained their formation and retreated with order. This left enough space for the mutants to crawl out from the deep pit. When they almost retreated to the edge of the military base, drone hives landed behind the mutants.

Thousands of drones swarmed out and swarmed into the fracture on the nest from the space-based weapons.

When Carmen reacted, everything was too late. The mutants under ground were all sent out. Only mutants that just hatched remained. Although the number was still impressive, it was not enough to stop the drones from flooding in.

Without fighting or even firing a single bullet at the mutants, the drones rushed to the hatching larva.

Carmen’s face turned green.

“FU*K!”

Jiang Chen, who was a hundred kilometers away, sat up straight from the sofa and slammed his fist against the coffee table.

“EXPLODE!”
