Nathaniel extraordinary looked at the green blood gushing out of the ground, he naturally guessed what happened just now.
"Master David!" Six knights quickly appeared beside David, protecting David, and the leader of the knights yelled in concern.
The six knights didn't care about the life and death of the rest of the people at all, and those had nothing to do with them, but David's safety required their attention.
If the people holding the badge of the Baron Du Bois family were killed by the Zerg when they acted with them, then they must bear the anger from Baron Du Bois, and even the hostility of that powerful family. unbearable.
Therefore, when the six knights discovered the danger, they immediately came to David's side and protected him in the knight battle formation.
This also surprised David. Although the attitude of the six knights was very respectful to him before, he did not expect that the reaction of the six knights would be so violent when something happened.
"Guys, I'm fine. The underground Zerg is dead and needs to be cleaned out!" David said to the six knights beside him after feeling that Shadow Waiter had absorbed the soul of the 'Earth-boring Beetle'.
"Lord David, you don't need to do anything, we will take care of it for you!" The leading knight said and waved his hand, and the two knights took out their epees and began to dig the ground.
Soon the body of the 'Earth-boring Beetle' was dug up. Although there had been speculations, Nathaniel Chaofan was still frightened for a while when he saw the 'Earth-boring Beetle' corpse.
It is really not easy to get away with the surprise attack of the 'earth beetle'.
"Lieutenant Colonel David, thank you for saving your life!" Nathaniel Chaofan thanked David.
Nathaniel Chaofan didn't ask David how he discovered it in advance, but only judging from the reactions of the six knights, David must have a lot to do with the divine world, and it's not surprising that he has some special abilities.
After dealing with the Great World of Gods, Nathaniel knows that the Great World of Gods often has some unexpected special abilities. In his opinion, since David has a close relationship with the Great World of Gods, he must be aware of it. Ground beetles' magic items are also normal.
"No need to do this, since we are performing missions together, we are helping each other, and I believe you will not stand idly by when I am in danger!" David said with a smile.
The corpse of the 'Earth-boring Beetle' was cleaned up by people from the logistics department. It was regarded as a spoil of war, and it would all be returned to the military. David just added to his already rich military exploits.
"Notify the military department that the base headquarters here must speed up the construction. There are 'earth-boring beetles' appearing, and the temporary base cannot be used!" Nathaniel Chaofan turned his head and said to Bartholomew Chaofan.
Temporary bases can't detect abnormalities in the ground, let alone a thickened defense layer. They don't have much defense against Zerg attacking from the ground like the 'earth beetle'.
If the headquarters of the third frontline base were still intact, it would be impossible for this 'earth-drilling beetle' to appear here. The thick defense layer underground and the multiple monitoring equipment underground had already issued an early warning.
The work of cleaning up the 'Gold-Eating Ants' was completed very quickly. None of the 6,000 soldiers died. At most, a few unlucky soldiers were sprayed with digestive juice by the 'Gold-Eating Ants', causing damage to the exoskeleton armor. .
Nathaniel extraordinary sent an order to the engineering department in the distance, and immediately many transport spacecraft arrived, and many engineering soldiers wearing engineering exoskeleton armor jumped off the transport spacecraft and began to inspect the base headquarters.
"We don't need us here anymore. Let's continue to the original front-level base defense line. I hope there won't be too many Zerg there!" Nathaniel Chaofan still had lingering fears about the danger just now, and he said in a deep voice.
After the 6,000 soldiers had assembled, and after a battle that was not too dangerous, the recruits, led by veteran soldiers, had the aura of a soldier in the army.
These auras are still false at present, and only after repeated battles will these recruits become masters of a hundred battles.
In this process, countless soldiers will be eliminated by the Zerg, and those who remain are the real elites.
The 6,000 armored soldiers marched in a battle formation to the defense line 20 kilometers away. With the participation of six knights, as long as there were no fourth-level Zerg in this battle to regain the defense line, the danger would not be high.
In fact, the fourth-level Zerg seldom get so close to the line of defense. If the 'Poisonous Giant Ant with Fangs' hadn't been for the eggs with its genes, it would not have rushed behind the line of defense.
In the Zerg-occupied area, the fourth-level Zerg is very safe, but if it leaves the occupied area, once the fourth-level Zerg is isolated, it is very likely to be targeted by the strong.
Therefore, at the lost line of defense, the probability of the fourth-level Zerg appearing is very low. Even if there is a fourth-level Zerg appearing and six knights are present, they can resist it for a while.
"General, there is a swarm of insects rushing forward!" Captain Macaulay reported to several people just after advancing ten kilometers.
Then a video taken by a drone from the sky was sent to several people. Although David did not belong to the third front line base, he also received this video.
In the video, a swarm of more than 100,000 insects is running, and many second-level insects can be seen. Although there are no third-level insects, there must be a third-level insect in such a large-scale insect swarm.
David didn't speak. This kind of war is naturally directed by Nathaniel.
"Let the logistics department deploy the blocking system, and the army immediately retreat behind the blocking system!" Nathaniel ordered Captain Macaulay in a deep voice.
The ten transport spaceships that have been following the army's rear stepped forward, and the ten transport spaceships separated into sections, and then dropped long strips of cargo downward.
After the long strip of goods fell on the ground, it immediately unfolded automatically, forming a forward blocking device like multiple spears.
The personnel of the logistics department stepped forward to reinforce these arresting systems, using reinforcing nails to fix the arresting devices to the ground.
The entire arrangement process took only a few minutes, and three spear arrays composed of blocking systems were soon formed, and the soldiers, led by experienced veterans, entered the blocking systems.
This kind of defense is actually very simple, except that the spearhead is made of second-grade materials, and the rest of the main structure is made of alloy, so the cost is not high, and it is only used for temporary defense.
At the same time, because this blocking system cannot withstand multiple impacts, the blocking effect is not very strong, it is just an auxiliary effect, and the real battle still depends on the soldiers.
But with this arresting system, at least it can reduce the impact of the swarm.
You must know that the most terrifying thing about the swarm is to charge. When hundreds of thousands of zerg charge, it is difficult to resist this kind of impact without experienced soldiers forming a battle formation.
It is precisely because there are too many recruits this time that the logistics department will carry so many arresting systems.
"I'm going to find a sniper position!" David said to Nathaniel Chaofan.
"Lieutenant Colonel David, you can act as you please!" Nathaniel said with a supernatural nod.
David took a fancy to a small high slope 200 meters behind the position. Although it was not high, it was also the highest point in this gentle area.
David walked towards the high slope, and the six knights followed suit, as if their mission was not to fight, but to protect David.
"Knights, you should stay here and help defend!" David turned his head and said to the leading knights.
"My lord, we don't know how to defend. When necessary, we will destroy the swarm. Before that, we need to ensure your safety!" The leading knight bowed and said.
David had no choice but to let the six knights follow him.
Nathaniel Chaofan's face is full of helplessness. Although he is the new leader of the third frontline base, the knights of the God World are not under his jurisdiction. Even if the six knights came to participate in the operation, they are also members of the military department. The result of coordinating with the divine world.
Just as David put the two sniper rifles in front of him, there was an earth-shattering rolling sound in front of him, and the ground was constantly trembling.
He could see more clearly through the shadow waiter in the sky, the hundreds of thousands of insect swarms, without the barrier of the defensive wall, the charge of running is very terrifying, the whole area is full of dust stirred up by the insect swarm, in the dust The swarm of insects in it are like clouds under the feet.
A recruit soldier seemed frightened by the scene in front of him, he threw down the spear in his hand with a yell, turned around and ran away.
The veteran soldier who was in the same group as the new soldier did not hesitate, and the spear in his hand stabbed out, stabbing the new soldier, and then the veteran soldier lifted the new soldier on the spear and held it high rise.
"You are soldiers, and this is the battlefield. Those who flee on the battlefield will die. Even if you flee back, you will be tried by a court-martial. You will spend the rest of your life working in a dark mine. Your relatives will fight for you." You are ashamed, if you want to live with dignity, then fight!" Captain Macaulay released his voice and spread it throughout the battlefield.
The recruits looked at the insect swarm in front of them, and at the deserters who were picked up on the spears and their screams gradually weakened. Thinking of what Captain Macaulay said, they had only one choice, and that was to fight.
"Don't think that there are a lot of bug swarms in front of you, so you can't win. Look at the veterans around you. They often fight with such bug swarms. Every time the bug swarm breaks up, these are your military exploits. Kill them, we must Victory!" Captain Macaulay shouted.
"We must win!" First, the veterans shouted.
Afterwards, more and more recruits followed suit, and the morale of the army recovered, and there was no fear as before, but only a strong fighting spirit in this atmosphere.
None of this affected David. When the swarm entered a range of five kilometers, he began to look for the target.
First, the second-level Zerg, the 'Growler sniper rifle' rang, and as the gunshot sounded, a second-level Zerg fell down, and then David accidentally discovered that after his spirit increased to 8 points, he guided the recoil The process of entering the ground below him hastened.
It's just that he didn't expect this, so although he eliminated the recoil in advance, he still had to wait for the process of pressing in the super-large-caliber second-grade sniper bullet.
Of course, after the second sound of the 'Growler's sniper rifle' sounded, this time David accelerated the speed of pressing the sniper bullets, increasing the speed to synchronize with the time when the recoil force was eliminated.
Then David started continuous sniping at a frequency of once every 0.5 seconds. During this process, he fired every shot, and every super-large-caliber second-grade sniper bullet was used to its full potential.
The intensive sniping also shocked the two Chaofans in front of them. This is the special large-caliber sniper rifle of the "Master Sniper". Anyone who knows the "Master Sniper" knows that the frequency of sniping with this sniper rifle is very low. 'Master Sniper' needs at least three seconds to perform a second snipe.
David purposely did not block the sound of the sniper guns, and the continuous sound of the sniper guns also reassured the recruits and soldiers. These are all soldiers transferred from the fourth frontline base. They have all heard the legend about David. .
Within five kilometers, there was no third-level Zerg, so David had been sniping the second-level Zerg.
When the swarm entered a distance of 3,000 meters, David's sniper shots stopped, and when all the soldiers were surprised, more intensive shots rang out.
This is David changing into the 'Roarer Sniper Rifle'. This sniper rifle used by ordinary sniper soldiers with automatic reloading was fired by David with a burst effect.
The first is the sniping speed of once every 0.2 seconds, which is already the limit value of sniping. Sniping is not easy. First, you need to find the target, then calculate the impact of the environment, and finally snipe.
With David's strong spirit, after reaching the snipe every 0.2 seconds, he felt that he could no longer improve.
However, the sniping five times per second also greatly increased his sniping power, and the second-level Zerg fell continuously.
The non-stop continuous sniping made David's spirit completely concentrated, and he entered a wonderful state. His mind was connected to the shadow waiter in the sky, and he was looking for the target through the shadow waiter's vision.
This increased his sniping speed a little more, and as he became more proficient at this new way of sniping.
The cooperation between David and Shadow Servant formed a special sniping method, which David had never learned in the sphere of knowledge, and the rest of the "sniper masters" did not have the help of Shadow Servant.
This kind of sniping method is to use Shadow Waiter's observation in the air to locate. David on the ground doesn't need to think about anything at all, because as long as he has sniped several times, the impact of the environment on the snipe will be automatically remembered by Shadow Waiter, and there is no need to According to David's calculation, the deflection of aiming was transmitted from Shadow Waiter.
As soon as Shadow Waiter sees the target, David will immediately snipe, because Shadow Waiter can observe multiple targets at the same time, which saves David from the process of finding the target, and does not need to calculate and analyze. He only needs to follow the aiming plan sent by Shadow Waiter Just operate it.
David's sniping frequency finally stabilized at 0.1 second, and the sniping speed of ten times a second almost wiped out all the second-level Zerg snipers that penetrated three kilometers.
