Sure enough, his tactic worked. Although the two sides fired at each other, judging from the overall artillery fire, the predators did not have the upper hand. This is of course also related to their dense formation. They all rest on planets, and many raiders are behind planets. Although doing so can avoid the terrorist attack of the mothership's main gun. But at the same time, it also prevents them from exerting their full attack power without a good formation.
"Bang!" A tortoise shell predator finally couldn't stand the continuous attack of the artillery fire, the surface of the tortoise shell cracked and exploded. The body instantly turned into a ball of flesh and blood and exploded in the air.
Only its life crystal pops out. But it was immediately swallowed by another predator next to it.
With the first, there was the second, and many marauders were drowned in the artillery fire.
The army of predators began to retreat slowly, obviously feeling that they could not take advantage of this kind of confrontation.
A large number of predators retreated slowly, which undoubtedly added confidence to the human army. Under Kang Hui's order, the twelve fleets slowly pressed forward, still keeping the same distance from the predators, but they pressed on every step of the way, and their attacks never stopped.
At this moment, this piece of space seemed to become an ocean of light, and the strong lights pierced the sky, shaking the whole world. For the first time in the history of war between humans and predators, the Marauders were losing ground. At least the campaign got off to a perfect start.
However, the predators are also very cunning. Relying on the tortoiseshell predators and some defensive predators to resist, their losses are not large, and the direction of retreat is almost always behind the planet. Use the planet as your cover.
Obviously, they also know humans very well, and they know that humans will not attack their own planet, so they will do so.
There was a sneer on Kang Hui's face, luring the enemy to go deeper? No way.
When the planet came into range of artillery fire, he immediately issued an order that all warships stop advancing, cover with artillery fire, and prepare for landing operations.
With the lessons from last time, this time, he will be extremely careful in all actions, and will never easily give the other party any chance. In Kang Hui's view, there was no other explanation for the predators' retreat so resolutely without being obviously at a disadvantage, other than luring the enemy to go deeper. Nobody knows where looting Samsung is. Once the space fleet enters the internal airspace of the four administrative stars, the looting three stars suddenly appear, which will definitely bring huge losses to one's own side. That's not what he wants to see.
The most important thing for human beings now is to regain the four administrative stars first, and then fight steadily, gradually strangling the opponent while ensuring the safety of their own main force.
"Report to the Marshal, the preparations for the landing operation are complete, and we are ready to go at any time."
"Intensify the suppression of artillery fire and eliminate the frontal enemies." Kang Hui ordered again.
On Lan Jue's side, Zeus 1 has received orders and is ready to land and fight!
"What do you think?" The sommelier asked Lan Jue. They can get the latest news from the front at any time. At present, the loss of the human side is zero, and at least thousands of predators have been wiped out, but none of them left their own life crystals, and they all took the life crystals away .
Lan Jue shook his head and said: "This is just the beginning, it's hard to say, we'll have to wait and see. So far, our tactics are fine. Get ready, we're going to start the landing operation."
"Hmm." The sommelier nodded. All the masters who were originally in meditation opened their eyes. Everyone's eyes are shining with dazzling brilliance. All mankind is watching this battle.
"Zeus One, Zeus One, this is the mid-level Space Fortress."
"I'm Zeus One, please tell me." Su Xiaosu was in charge of Zeus One's control, and immediately connected to the communication.
"The landing operation has begun. Please go!" Only the Skyfire Legion can get this request.
"Got it, let's go immediately!" Su Xiaosu gave an affirmative answer.
At the same time, she stood up and looked at Lan Jue, who nodded to her.
Zeus 1 started and slowly flew towards an administrative star. The one assigned to the Skyfire Legion is the largest of the four administrative stars, Monte.
Undoubtedly, from the perspective of the North Alliance, the larger the administrative star, the stronger the predators will be. Of course, it must be handed over to the powerful Skyfire Legion.
The Zeus 1 and the Great Emperor flew out of their square formation one after another, heading towards the Monte star, and there were dozens of warships flying out with them, and these warships were all large transport ships. On every transport ship, there are iron-blooded and yellow marks. That's right, it was the An Lun Army, including the Iron-Blooded Yanhuang Army, who acted together with them. In this landing operation, in order to ensure that the loss of the side is minimized, Lan Qing directly dispatched the trump card.
Not only did he have confidence in the An Lun Army, he also had confidence in the Skyfire Army. He believed that under the leadership of Lan Jue, he would be able to minimize his own losses.
Zeus 1 is flying at the forefront, under the cover of artillery fire from the human army, at least in space they will not reach any enemy earlier. However, this is only in the process.
There's bound to be some scrambling when approaching the Looting Star. In order to ensure the safety of the administrative star, they can only be supported by some patrol ships and battleships at low altitude. Battleships of the capital ship level are not allowed to participate in landing operations.
This will undoubtedly cause great difficulties, but for the sake of the fragile hearts of the people of the North Alliance, the three major alliances finally reached an agreement, and there is nothing more important than saving compatriots in distress.
As the spaceship continued to approach, Lan Jue's eyes lit up. The battle was about to begin. This battle was the time to truly test the Skyfire Legion.
All the masters had already stood up, and they stood behind Lan Jue in a tacit understanding.
"Let me go!" The alchemist's voice sounded, and under her seemingly calm surface, there seemed to be something burning in her eyes.
Lan Jue glanced at her, then nodded.
Landing requires early-stage operations to find opportunities for the army. In order to ensure the safety of the army, it is naturally best for the strong to take action.
Lan Jue understood that this was the alchemist expressing his apology to everyone in a disguised form. Although she was rescued by Lan Jue this time, no one said anything, but she was full of guilt in her heart. She is very aware of Lan Jue's importance to Tianhuo Avenue, and her own emotional problems have caused Lan Jue to risk her life. If something really happens, it may affect the overall situation.
Lan Jue understands that her psychology will naturally not hinder her, and it is a good thing to help her fulfill her wish.
The pharmacist turned around and left, the sommelier said: "Do you need one of us to help her?"
Lan Jue smiled slightly and shook his head, "No need. She's the Sword Slayer Fairy!"
Among the many rulers, only Juedi was still sitting there meditating, and the others were all beside Lan Jue. The same is true for Luo Xianni.
Gradually, the distance from Monte Star is getting closer and closer.
Mount Monte was originally a beautiful and rich planet. Among the four administrative stars, it has always existed as the Eastern Capital of the Northern Alliance. Although its importance is not as high as that of Luoxing, it is also one of the economic centers of the Northern Alliance. This is also the reason why the Terminator Space Fortress guards are here.
But the current Monte star, seen from space, has completely turned into a purple-red planet. The surface of the planet is shining with dazzling purple-red brilliance, giving people a sense of blurred beauty. Unfortunately, this beauty is full of dead silence.
On the surface of the Monte star, it can be seen from a distance that something is constantly surging. Inside the atmosphere, there are undoubtedly a large number of predators waiting there.
This time it was no longer an infected body, but a real predator. Apparently, one of the strategies of the Marauders is to place their battlefields on the planet's surface to maximize their melee advantages.
Lan Jue knew that the other three administrative stars, the Northern Alliance and the Western Alliance, had invested more than 30 divisions of mecha troops on each administrative star, plus small warships for landing operations. The strong will do their best. The most elite acquired abilities and modified abilities will all be thrown into the battle.
On their side, the battle is undoubtedly the most difficult, but the troops are the least invested. This is because of the existence of the Skyfire Legion.
As it got closer, the artillery support from the rear began to decrease continuously. More than 500 patrol ships and more than 60 battleships guarded them, covering them with small artillery fire.
In the atmosphere of Monte Star, a large number of predators hide in it, using the cover of the atmosphere to defend and attack.
The purple rays of light did not rise up, but were all cleverly avoided by Zeus No. 1. Two of the patrol ships guarding in front of them had already fallen.
The militaries of the three major alliances have long been psychologically prepared. This landing operation will be extremely tragic, but they have no choice but to choose.
Seeing that the patrol ship began to enter the atmosphere of the Monte star, there was a sudden movement from the predators.
Large expanses of purple-red light rose into the sky, and in an instant, dozens of patrol ships were corroded and fell. There was a violent explosion.
Lan Jue frowned. These predators are too cunning, instead of fighting humans in space, they planted heavy troops on the surface of the planet, waiting for humans to attack. There is no doubt that the existence of living humans can be seen by human astronomical telescopes before, it must be the intention of these predators. These bastards are really too cunning.
Lan Jue knew it in his heart, but now there was nothing he could do. There is no other choice but head-on.
At this moment, a white light suddenly appeared in the field of view of the screen.
This white light didn't look strong at first, but its speed was extremely fast, passing through the atmosphere like a sharp knife in an instant, and flew straight to the surface of Monte Star.
As soon as those purple-red rays of light approached it, it would immediately collapse.
"Marshal Lan Qing, let the patrol ships and battleships not enter the atmosphere of Mount Monte for the time being, and don't die in vain. Please leave the landing battle to us completely." Lan Jue said to Lan Qing through direct communication.
