"Zi... Zi..."
The sound of energy flowing gradually disappeared, and the armored scorpion in the process of activation also trembled slightly, and then, without warning, the other party opened its eyes.
Huh? Is it an illusion? Why did I hear a "beep-" as if the system passed the self-test just now
"Squeak... Kaka..."
The armored scorpion that had just woken up looked around in confusion. The lower body of the mechanical scorpion unconsciously twisted a few times. At the same time, with the swing of the three-meter-long scorpion tail, the entire body let out a burst of continuous vibrations. There was a sound of mechanical rubbing, and then, this fierce and beautiful sister suddenly stretched long, and even the tail behind her was straightened instantly.
Although it looks very weird, the wild beauty displayed by such a scorpion woman at this moment is so thrilling.
"Bang—" With a loud noise, the nascent armored scorpion finally woke up, and its six mechanical limbs exerted force simultaneously. This scorpion, which seemed to weigh at least two tons, jumped up from the platform on which it was standing, and landed firmly on the ground. in front of us.
"Waiting for orders!"
Sweeping away the laziness at the beginning, the armored scorpion fully demonstrated the qualities of a Xiling soldier at this moment. The opponent stood motionless in front of us, lowered his lower body slightly, and gave us a standard military salute with his upper body.
"Uh... good..."
I was stunned for a moment before I realized that the other party was saluting to me—although Sandora was also Emperor Xiling, but as a soldier of the Pandora Legion, the Armored Scorpion naturally saluted the highest leader he belonged to at the scene. For them, the armored scorpion didn't even look at it. This is also a common problem shared by the newborn Xiling apostles: they who only received the initial knowledge input are usually very dull. He knows how to be flexible, and he doesn't know how to be polite and human. Of course, all this can be changed in a short period of time. The information shared by his comrades can teach this scorpion how to behave in the world within two or three days.
"This... Scorpion, isn't it?" I looked up at the super-tall beautiful Scorpion in front of me. To be honest, even though he was my soldier, the aggressive appearance of the other party was really stressful - especially when the other party was taller than myself. When he was several heads higher, "Where's your weapon? Let me see."
"Obey!"
The super-tall scorpion gave a military salute, and then instantly pulled out two... ship-chopping knives from the cracks in the surrounding space
The wide and thick blade has a slightly inclined blade back through precise calculation, the blade is straight but has an obtuse angle of 120° at about one-fifth of the blade tip, and it walks on the blade, making people feel dizzy at first glance The dazzling phase displacement force field, although the length of nearly three meters is much longer than the Zhanjiandao used by Pandora, this weapon is indeed a typical Xiling Zhanjiandao...
"Melee type?"
The one who raised the question before me was my elder sister. Although I usually don’t care much about the military, my elder sister’s keenness can always accurately find some problems that are easily overlooked. Therefore, even if it is the problem of weapons and equipment that I have never cared about. , my sister was the first to discover the strangeness of this big scorpion.
It's so rare... An intermediate-level Xiling apostle, the regular equipment used is two ship-chopping knives? Melee type
In other words, does the concept of melee combat exist in the minds of the Apostles of Xiling
But it was only a few of us earthlings who had this question, and Sandora's face was taken for granted: "Yes, it is a melee type. Do you think Xiling soldiers are all long-range units?"
"...that's what I think..."
"Is it because the fighting methods can't be simplified..." My sister showed a thoughtful look, "The single fighting method may indeed become a huge disadvantage, but I think long-range arms always have great advantages..."
My sister is indeed a smart character... I still haven't figured out why there are melee soldiers in a space team...
"Because there may be special enemies who are not afraid of long-range attacks at all? The level of warfare that the Apostle of Xiling has to face is quite broad," Qianqian nodded lightly and said, "and some battlefields can only be played by melee units. The greatest combat power... "
Well, Qianqian is really smart... By the way, I am the only one in our gang who is an idiot in this regard!
The analysis of Qianqian and her sister has obviously reached the truth, Sandora nodded with a smile, looked at the scorpion girl and said: "Yes, long-range soldiers do have irreplaceable advantages, but don't underestimate the armored scorpion because of this." Strength, they are the absolute kings of melee combat. They are born with terrifying fighting talents. With the special high-strength ship-slashing sword, these fanatical cold weapon lovers can almost instantly kill any opponent of the same level within their attack range. Enemies, usually, armored scorpions are used in occupation warfare or infiltration warfare. Even the strongest fortress, once these killing machines invade it, will completely fall within hours like flesh infected by poison , they can easily destroy any form of armor and isolation doors, sweep the entire warship under channel control without slowing down, and kill all the enemies hiding in the bunker while preserving the occupied target, all of which It is not a substitute for conventional long-range arms."
"If you want to destroy a city, then what you need is an army of Xiling fighters, but if you just want to kill the enemy but save the city, then what you need is an army of scorpions."
I am convinced of Sandora's exaggerated description, because this girl has never deceived me, but I still have some doubts about this kind of soldier who has strengthened the melee ability to the limit: "Then when you are fighting against long-range units What about the situation? Can the scorpion gain the upper hand?"
"For units of the same level, of course, the closer the distance, the more obvious the advantage of these scorpions. However, there is no absolute, and scorpions are not completely helpless against long-range attacks. Soldier, let us see your stinger."
"Obey!"
The armored scorpion replied with a sound like steel rubbing, and then the scorpion tail that I thought was a weapon at the beginning suddenly opened.
Hidden under the fusiform alloy carapace is a blood-red crystal.
Raising her finger, she pointed at the crystal that looked very dangerous and was almost painted with a skull logo and was swimming with a blood-red halo. Sandora spoke as if a seasoned arms dealer was selling a good product that she killed and robbed. :
"The recoilless instant-type 'Red Fang-Change' concentrated energy cannon has two launch modes: a directional laser with amazing penetrating power and a small-scale energy explosion, which are respectively aimed at the two combat environments of long-range enemy sniping and close-range entrapment. The mutated psionic crystal of the muzzle energy gathering device can also be thrown out as a one-time powerful warhead. The strength of the scorpion tail is enough to throw this dangerous thing more than ten kilometers away in the high-density atmosphere. If it explodes, it is at least equivalent to A small space implosion bomb, and the strong radiation and electromagnetic pulse produced by this crystal after the explosion poses a fatal threat to both carbon-based life and silicon-based life—of course, after all, it is a unit that specializes in melee combat, and the scorpion is against it. The energy supply of the cannon on her tail is far inferior to the dual knives in her hands. This thing can only be used as an auxiliary weapon, not to mention the mediocre battery life. Even in terms of power, it is not very good among arms of the same level .”
No, it's excellent, it's already excellent! ! !
As a soldier, this kind of combat power configuration is not too good, maybe you still want to mass-produce a big killer like Pandora, girl!
There was also a slight look of wonder in Qianqian's eyes, and he said: "It seems that next time we encounter a world that is invaded by the abyss, we will be much more relaxed..."
"Very good... very good..." For this armored scorpion whose only purpose is to become a killing machine, I can only hold back such meaningless two words as an evaluation, "What's your name?"
This last sentence was naturally addressed to the armored scorpion in front of me. Although I know that the other party is just a weapon whose mind has not yet fully awakened, it is really not appropriate to go around and comment on others, so I put on a smile as kind as possible. , raised his head and said to the motionless scorpion like a sculpture.
"Vega-0001, sir!"
"Well, then Weijia is fine, let's get familiar with the shadow city first, and learn the knowledge of the outside world by the way, and then, I have a task for you..."
"Weijia can carry out the task now, sir!" As if eager to prove her strength, the scorpion girl immediately reported loudly.
Okay, I admit military guys are cute guys, but dealing with these pimples really gives me a headache saying...
"I'm not saying that you still need to learn your combat skills, but this world is a bit special... Let's put it this way, until you understand that you can't shoot casually on the street and there are no psionic crystals sold in human gas stations, you have to stay Here, understand?"
"Order?" The tall armored scorpion tilted its head, and flicked its tail behind it twice.
"Order!" I nodded firmly.
"Vega obeys orders, sir!"
So... communicating with this kind of robot soldier is really... unusually awkward...
