222: Chapter 228 Marching Towards the Dragon Kingdom: Lord Ukolan's Confidence!
After the message was sent, the first reaction of the lords of the Three-Party Alliance was that he must be plotting something.
This was within Su Yang's expectations; after all, he was only issuing a warning, and the Insect Swarm would ultimately have to be dealt with by Great Qin.
But not now. His primary goal right now was still to head north and take down the Lord of Japan.
Moving the main army away from Australia would take a lot of time, and he didn't want to waste time on the road.
Even if the Insect Swarm could evolve through Fusion with weapons, Su Yang believed its speed would ultimately not surpass the technological growth of Great Qin.
It wouldn't be too late to turn back and deal with these Xenomorphs after taking down the Lord of Japan and completely solving the steel and fuel problems.
During this period, his only hope was that the Three-Party Alliance wouldn't feed too many kills to the Insect Swarm.
After some thought, Su Yang ordered Ranger Squad 1 to continue marching toward the Wild Forest.
With the wolf smoke providing resource supplies, they should still be able to scout about a hundred kilometers into the Wild Forest.
Although he said he believed Great Qin's technology could defeat the Insect Swarm, he still wanted to test it out a little.
Moreover, the Insect Swarm in the northern area of the Heart of the Hive had almost all run away, and the Mother Nest was even harder to find than a piece of debris.
Even if they returned to the dense forest, they wouldn't be able to farm many Xenomorphs, so it might be better to go deep into the Wild Forest and try his luck.
This way, he could see the depth of these Insect Swarms and farm a wave of command points.
After letting Ranger Squad 1 continue to go deep, Su Yang switched to General Li Xin's perspective.
After building the farm last time, Su Yang had sent General Li Xin to the area where the anatase was discovered.
The Materials had not been upgraded twice, and Su Yang suspected that there would likely be no more Breakthroughs in Materials technology.
To obtain more Advanced Materials, he had to dig for Advanced minerals himself.
anatase was the only Advanced mineral discovered so far.
After the titanium ore was mined, it could be synthesized into titanium alloy at the Great Qin Smelting Center.
Then, the armor of the Armored Soldiers could be fully upgraded to titanium armor.
Moreover, unlike the titanium crystal shells formed by the Insect Swarm relying on pure titanium crystals and their own chitin, titanium armor was a product of smelting with steel, possessing better protective capabilities, ductility, and heat resistance.
With both titanium armor and deflection shields as defenses, the overall defensive capability of the army would be raised to another level.
Under Su Yang's guidance, General Li Xin entered the titanium crystal cave that emitted a faint blue light.
High-Rank mineral caves were different from ordinary ones; their output was very low, and they could not be transferred to the Main Base.
After General Li Xin placed the mining machine, the mining machine's production capacity appeared on Su Yang's panel.
The total reserves of this anatase were only 800 units.
Each piece of titanium crystal could upgrade one Armored Elite Soldier.
Therefore, the output of this mineral vein could upgrade at most 800 Armored Soldiers.
A Rank 1 mining machine had a capacity of 10 units/day, and upgrading to a Rank 5 mining machine increased the capacity to 40 units/day.
Su Yang placed both mining machines given by the Rank 6 Main Base, resulting in a production capacity of 100 units/day.
Although it wasn't much, it should be enough for him to carry out a round of upgrades for the Armored Soldiers before marching on the Lord of Japan.
The Xuan Niao Aerospace Institute unlocked aerial units, anatase upgraded the army's armor, and all four teams were farming monsters with full effort.
Now Su Yang was starting operations in several directions simultaneously, racing against time.
He originally thought that after the battle in Australia, the Three-Party Alliance's luck had run out.
Next, as long as he took down the Lord of Japan, the subsequent conquest battles would almost no longer require any energy.
Who knew that shortly after upgrading the base, his old friend, the Tyranid, would give him a surprise.
Now he not only had to compete with the Three-Party Alliance on speed, but also with the Tyranid.
After taking down the Lord of Japan, he had to immediately head south to control the development of the Insect Swarm, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
With such a ticking time bomb, Su Yang's whole person returned to a tense state.
He had to strive to take down the Lord of Japan before the end of this week!
After the Lords Hall closed, the Three-Party Alliance held another meeting.
The setback in the Australia territory had hit them hard.
But Su Yang's inexplicable statement in the hall later had given them a glimmer of opportunity.
" Lord of India: What does the Dragon Kingdom mean by this? Why are they so afraid of the Tyranid leaving the Heart of the Hive? "
" Lord of Ukraine: It's completely a smokescreen. It can't be the Tyranid. They even mined my ore; how could the Tyranid mine ore? "
" Lord of Japan: There are also Xenomorphs that can mine. The Goblin race here is proficient in mining. "
" Lord of Ukraine: But they are the Tyranid; who knows if they even have brains! I still think it's a smokescreen from the Dragon Kingdom. "
" Saying it's the Tyranid is actually his own troops. If nothing goes wrong, his next step is to launch an attack on my Ukraine! "
" Argentine Lord: Suppose, I mean suppose, what if it really is the Tyranid? "
" If the Insect Swarm comes out, it will be the Three-Party Alliance countries that are destroyed. For him, it's a completely good thing. Why is he so worried and asking us to blockade all routes? "
" Lord of Japan: Technology! Perhaps the Tyranid have some technology we don't know about, and this is the reason why the Dragon Kingdom's technology is powerful! "
" Japan's current technological research has absorbed a lot of Goblin technology, and these Xenomorphs do have some amazing aspects. "
" And the only reason the Dragon Kingdom wants us to stay away from the Insect Swarm is that they are afraid we will also learn powerful technology from the Tyranid! "
" US Lord: That makes sense! In short, regardless of whether it is the Dragon Kingdom's troops or the Insect Swarm that entered the Poland Territory, now is the time to provide support to Ukraine! "
" Lord of France: I think we also need support. The Xenomorphs in the east are gradually getting stronger! "
" Lord of Germany: Recently, the advance of Germany's troops has also been frequently blocked. It seems like the Xenomorphs have also received some kind of enhancement! "
" US Lord: I don't know what happened in the east, but the Alliance must deal with the Dragon Kingdom first. You all hold on for a while longer. "
" Turkish Lord: ai ahxiya kulumuqinne woliwa hansa... "
" US Lord: What kind of bird language is this again? It's really crazy! "
" Everyone, send resources to me, fully support Ukraine... "
Wild Forest.
In the forest of dead trees with strange and wild shapes.
The Tyranid Warrior, whose body had ballooned to five meters, was disemboweling a Forest Child.
Beside it, a Tyranid was speaking.
" Humans, vehicles, alive... "
Rumble---
A roar erupted from the Ukraine military factory, and thick black smoke billowed outward.
With the sound of heavy marching, one IS-1 heavy tank after another drove out of the factory.
The Lord of Ukraine stood to the side, his eyes shining with light.
He had finally waited for this day, waited for the appearance of Ukraine's artillery troops!
As a part of the former Soviet Union, the equipment that the Ukraine factory could produce was not comparable to that garbage Italy.
The IS-1 heavy tank in front of him was 8.32 meters long, 3.12 meters wide, and 2.71 meters tall.
The engine was a B2-HC12 diesel engine, with a maximum travel speed of 37 kilometers per hour.
The main weapon was an 85mm M1943 tank gun.
There were three 7.62mm machine guns, deployed at the rear of the turret, the co-pilot's side, and the side of the gun barrel, respectively. A 12.7mm DShK heavy machine gun was also mounted on top of the turret.
The frontal armor thickness was a staggering 120mm, and the sides, top, and rear also reached 22mm.
The IS-1 heavy tank weighed 44 tons, almost twice as heavy as that toy from Italy.
This was a heavy tank; this was a true steel behemoth!
The Lord of Ukraine's eyes flickered, exceptionally excited.
After a full 30 IS-1 heavy tanks drove out, an even duller sound came from the factory.
20 tanks, even larger than the IS-1 heavy tanks, drove out: the KV-2 heavy tanks.
This was a heavy tank specifically designed to destroy fortified defenses, known by former Soviet soldiers as the tank carrying a cannon.
On the huge turret was a 152mm caliber M-10 howitzer, capable of firing 52kg high-explosive armor-piercing shells.
The auxiliary weapons were three DT-MG 7.62mm machine guns, mounted in parallel on the turret and behind the turret, respectively.
It was equipped with a V2K diesel engine, with a maximum speed of 26 km/h.
The tank's frontal armor thickness was 100mm, and it could also be equipped with 30-40mm of additional armor.
The entire vehicle weighed 52 tons and was the heaviest armored tank deployed by the former Soviet Union on the battlefield.
The KV-2 tank's off-road capability was not strong, and its comprehensive capability was not as good as the IS-2, but it possessed a cannon with an even more exaggerated caliber.
If the Alliance had believed in him earlier and let him lead the KV-2 heavy tanks to attack Australia, Australia would not have been able to hold on.
No matter how high or thick the city walls built by the Dragon Kingdom were, for a 152mm heavy cannon, it would only be a matter of time.
It was a pity that the Alliance chose the wrong general, which led to heavy losses.
He could understand the Alliance; after all, if Italy rose, the Alliance could control it.
But if Ukraine were to rise, the Alliance would need to weigh its own capabilities if it wanted to control it.
If he had to choose, unless absolutely necessary, he would also prioritize Italy.
However, it was indeed a last resort now.
The Alliance had suffered setbacks in Australia and urgently needed to make some gains to stop the losses.
In order to figure out what exactly that troop that conquered the Poland Territory was, they had thrown in all their capital.
Most lords believed that what entered the Poland Territory was the Insect Swarm, and killing the Insect Swarm could obtain some special technology.
But he believed that what entered the Poland Territory were the Dragon Kingdom's troops, and their next target was to attack Ukraine.
No matter which guess it was, the command points and resources were already in hand.
The fuel transport vehicle queue supporting the expeditionary force was also driving from Saudi Arabia in the north into the Ukraine territory.
With these resources in hand, no matter what ghosts or monsters appeared, they would all turn into souls under the cannons!
Rumble---
After the KV-2 heavy tanks drove out, the last two loud sounds came.
The M1931 B-4 heavy siege artillery, a 203mm caliber behemoth.
The B-4 barrel was 5087mm long, the rifled part of the barrel was 3981mm long, and the number of internal rifling reached 64.
The barrel weighed 5.2 tons, and the total weight of the artillery including the carriage was 15.6 tons, with a maximum range of up to 17 kilometers.
It could fire shells including concrete-piercing shells and super armor-piercing shells with stabilizing tail fins.
The latter's warhead was made of chromium-vanadium alloy, and the ultra-high material density gave the warhead unparalleled penetrating power, capable of penetrating up to 4 meters of reinforced concrete fortifications.
The B-4 artillery shells were segmented ammunition, equipped with a small crane for loading ammunition.
The firing rate of the shells was 1 round per 2 minutes at first, and then 1 round per 1 minute, and the entire artillery crew had as many as 15 members.
It took a full 15 professionally trained soldiers to operate this super artillery piece, which the German army called the "Stalin's Sledgehammer"!
8 B-4 heavy artillery pieces slowly drove out of the factory under the traction of supporting tractors, their massive bodies chilling to the bone.
The Lord of Ukraine's eyes flickered, and the bright future of Ukraine was unfolding in his mind.
After taking down that troop in Poland, he must thank the Lord of Dragon Kingdom properly.
If it weren't for the Dragon Kingdom becoming the world's public enemy, allowing the Alliance to support Ukraine with resources to develop the team.
In this arrival zone where iron ore was scarce in the Wild Forest, I'm afraid Ukraine wouldn't have such an artillery troop by the end of the trial.
After this trial ends, the materialized resources will allow Ukraine to reverse the Bear-Ukraine war in the real world.
And he would become the hero of all the people of Ukraine!
" Marshal, the Saudi Arabia fuel transport troops have crossed the border and are expected to arrive in our territory tonight. " The communicator said from the side.
" Very good! Very good! " The Lord of Ukraine was overjoyed.
" Advance into the Poland Territory under the moonlight tonight, and let those stupid guys know what real firepower is! "
" Now go assemble the whole army, I want to hold a military parade! " The Lord of Ukraine ordered.
Now it was almost time for the Forbidden Ground live broadcast to start, and he wanted all the people of Ukraine to see.
Under his leadership, the power of the Ukraine troops had reached such a terrifying level!
The south gate of the Ukraine territory opened, and one heavy tank and giant artillery after another drove out of the territory.
In addition to the armored artillery troops, there were also various units of the Ukraine army.
The organized army was lined up outside the territory, and the Lord of Ukraine stood on the city wall overlooking the entire team.
Such a large-scale armored force made him excited.
If this troop were placed in the first two rounds of the Forbidden Ground, it would definitely be a mid-to-Late Stage combat power that would only appear in about six months.
But now, Ukraine had such combat power in just over a month, and it would be no exaggeration to say it was invincible!
The Lord of Ukraine's mind flickered, and he entered information into the panel to send it to the official high-level officials.
The live broadcast was about to start, and he couldn't wait to hear the voices of the people chasing after him!
Wild Forest, a certain outpost in Ukraine.
" Hey! Why is the fog from the Poland Territory drifting over! "
A scout stood up abruptly, pointing at the sky and shouting.
The scout team leader looked at the sky in surprise; the fog above the Poland Territory was rapidly spreading toward them!
" Report to the territory, southwest direction, No. 3 outpost discovered Xenomorphs... "
Swoosh---
Before the scout team leader could finish speaking, a two-meter-long steel blade covered in muscle tissue pierced through him.
Hiss ah---
The Tyranid Warrior holding the blade revealed itself, opening its huge mouth and emitting a sharp cry.
Behind it, the Insect Swarm, like a tidal wave, rushed forward rapidly.
The scout sat slumped on the ground, his whole person scared silly.
The Tyranid Warrior extended its left arm toward him, and the thick arm made of vines immediately swallowed his head.
" U... Saudi Arabia... "
