192: Chapter 196 The Expeditionary Cavalry: The Dragon Kingdom is truly too strong!
(The previous chapter expanded to 4k again. Please refresh and go back to check, then continue with this chapter.)
(There are two more updates today. The little author is rushing to finish, and will return to normal updates tomorrow!)
As the people of Australia and Spain poured in, the bullet comments in the livestream also began to drift off-topic.
"Congratulations on getting rich! Congratulations on getting rich! I love Dragon Country, Dragon Country loves me!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty, the technology of Dragon Country is truly amazing, I love Dragon Country!"
"What is this saying? What are these people doing?"
"Because Su Yang has conquered two vassal states, the strong connection has been activated, and the blockade between us and the two vassal states has been lifted."
"Many foreigners have been coming in since last night. I have to say, these guys are quite funny."
"Hahaha, seeing them type in Chinese feels like the clumsy feeling of learning English back in the day."
"Chinese should become the world language. Let all foreigners learn Chinese, so we never have to learn English again!"
"Keep it up, Su Yang. As long as Great Qin has more and more vassal states, popularizing Chinese might actually succeed."
At this moment, the livestream perspective switched to the Dragon Country territory, and various sci-fi buildings immediately caused exclamations from foreign viewers.
"Oh my God, is this the Dragon Country territory? This technology is truly amazing!!"
"Crazy! Crazy! I really want to live in that fortress. That is the safest place in the world!"
"Hahaha, these foreigners are so funny. I just love their 'never seen the world' look."
"Congratulations on getting rich, I really want to see the Dragon Country soldiers fight. That must be an unimaginable battle!"
"Oh, my foreign friend, we rarely see soldiers fight either. Lower your expectations."
"I recommend you download the Tomato Novel APP. Someone there has written down all the battles we have seen."
"My God! That must be a novel about getting rich!"
...
While the public was having a good time, the livestream perspective switched again.
This time, it cut directly into a gloomy dense forest.
The forest was filled with gray mist, and a troop fully equipped with warhorses was advancing rapidly.
"My God, is this Hell? It feels very terrifying!"
"Heart of the Hive is too terrifying! It's not rich at all."
"These team members are all riding horses. I didn't expect Dragon Country, with such powerful technology, to still have cavalry units."
While the foreign netizens were chattering, the Dragon Country netizens grasped the point at a glance.
A cavalry team galloping through the Shadow Zone forest! This is a brand new Dragon Country troop!
"Mounted archers? Is this a new troop type!"
"It shouldn't be a new troop type. It feels like a combination of Crossbowman and Blazing Steed."
"The long-range combat power of the Crossbowman combined with the mobility of the Blazing Steed, this troop feels very strong!"
"The most troublesome thing about the Xenomorphs in the Shadow Zone is the toxic mist produced after death. This troop feels like it can completely solve this problem!"
"I wonder if they can encounter the enemy today. I really want to see them fight!"
...
Clop, clop, clop—
Horseshoes hit the ground, mud and sand splashed.
The Armored Crossbowmen held reins made of composite Materials in their hands, carried electromagnetic crossbows half a body tall on their backs, and leaned low over the horses' backs.
The Blazing Steeds galloped at full speed, and thick steam spewed from their noses every time they stepped on the ground.
The entire formation was in a sharp triangle, like a sharp blade piercing into the dark gray mist.
Su Yang substituted into the perspective of a soldier in the front row of the Rangers, controlling the direction of the team.
On the left and right sides of the troop were two Scouts, who would continuously provide feedback to correct the direction.
Early in the morning, the Ranger Expeditionary Force had already set off from the Spain territory, heading north to search for the Insect Swarm.
However, after about two hours and nearly 150 kilometers of travel.
The troop only encountered sparse squads of the Insect Swarm along the way, and did not encounter a single Heart of the Hive.
This might be related to the fact that the threat Rank of the Shadow Zone is not high yet; the Call of the Shadows BUFF is still only at Rank 1.
"Your Majesty, there are Xenomorphs ahead!" The Scout's intelligence was transmitted back.
Su Yang's eyes flashed; there was finally news!
He synchronized with the Scout's panel, and indeed, dense white dots appeared on the edge.
Biological scan information arrived.
[Biological Scan Panel]
[Rank: Rank 14]
[Xenomorphs: Taran Vesicle Stinger (Variant)]
[Race: Nature Race Insect Swarm]
[Generation: Fifth Generation, Highest Rank]
[Type: Insect Swarm Infantry]
[Characteristics: Insect Swarm infantry variant unit, possesses faster movement speed, and will produce stagnant toxic mist after death, inhaling too much will cause permanent damage]
A typical Xenomorph unit of the Shadow Zone, but the Fifth Generation Highest Rank needs attention.
The last battle that harvested 170,000 command points was also against Fifth Generation Xenomorphs.
Su Yang let the Scout unit go deep to investigate the scale of this Insect Swarm, while he himself constantly adjusted the troop to prepare for micro-management.
The speed of wolf smoke cannot keep up with the Blazing Steeds, so the Ranger Troops currently do not have logistical supplies.
To quickly and efficiently wipe out this Insect Swarm, he must perform some micro-management.
The Scout went deep to investigate, and soon obtained the approximate scale of this Insect Swarm.
The number of the Insect Swarm was similar to the last batch of the Insect Swarm, with a total of nearly 1,000 Xenomorphs.
Upon learning this news, Su Yang was in a great mood.
More Xenomorphs means more command points, and what the territory lacks most now is command points.
He doesn't ask to reach the height of 170,000 last time; Su Yang would be satisfied with around 100,000.
While reporting, the Scouts also reported the phenomenon of overlapping biological signals.
That is to say, a large portion of the white dots on the detector were in an overlapping state.
This situation means that this batch of the Insect Swarm also has a different distribution in the vertical direction.
Either they are stepping on each other like stacking arhats during a siege, or they still have caves underground.
Judging from the previous few encounters with the Nature Race, this race does not seem to like digging holes.
After all, even their mother bugs are directly exposed to the outside, coexisting with some giant plants.
Then they are stepping on each other? They wouldn't be having some strange party, would they?
Su Yang shook off some strange images in his mind and commanded the troop to approach the Insect Swarm slowly.
Regardless of whether they are having a party or doing whatever, now he must make some time to say hello to his friends.
Swish, swish, swish—
As the Ranger Troops approached, the Insect Swarm immediately became alert.
Sharp screeching sounds spread through the dense forest.
Clop, clop, clop—
After the Ranger Troops approached the Insect Swarm, they immediately staggered and closed in, forming a long, thin line.
After reaching a distance from the Insect Swarm, they did not approach or fire, but began to move in a circle around the center of the Insect Swarm.
The Insect Swarm felt the presence of the enemy and immediately poured out, the sharp insect chirps completely drowning out the sound of steam spraying.
They appeared in waves, constantly rushing towards the Ranger Troops.
However, the speed of the Stinger Bugs could not keep up with the Ranger Troops at all.
They were startled by the Rangers in the lead, and after chasing for a while, they were left behind and could only change their target to the soldiers in the middle.
When they were about to get close to the Ranger Troops, the only targets they could chase were the soldiers at the end of the line.
The Insect Swarm rushed up in groups like this, and were left behind in groups.
The Ranger Troops moved around them, causing the originally loose Insect Swarm to gradually gather together.
This is a method similar to sheepdogs managing a flock of sheep, but the dog uses fear, while Su Yang uses attraction.
The purpose of the sheepdog gathering the flock is to facilitate guidance.
And Su Yang's purpose is, high-speed annihilation!
Seeing that the Insect Swarm had gathered, Su Yang moved his mind.
With a swish, swish, swish sound, the Crossbowmen took out their electromagnetic crossbows from their backs.
"Fire!"
