World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 1589 - 404: Battle of the Moon (2)_2

Everyone saw the missiles launched by these mechas successfully penetrate into the insect swarm, igniting a sea of fire, and couldn’t help but brighten their eyes, feeling that the situation might have turned slightly.

"That’s right! Just like that! Kill them! Keep bombing them, send them to the skies with artillery fire!"

"Damn it! Blast them for me! Let this swarm of insects know the power of human technology! Just their flesh and blood want to resist modern weapons, dreaming!"

"We’re saved, we’re saved, our Mecha Force reportedly numbers in the triple digits, along with long-range missile strikes, we don’t need to engage these insects in close combat, just bombard them from a distance!"

"Hahaha! So satisfying! Let them witness our might!"

"..."

All corners of the world, people watching the live broadcast couldn’t help but cheer, releasing the previously suppressed emotions, making many flushed with excitement.

However, compared to the excitement of these people, the few drivers who were maneuvering the mechas to attack the insect swarm were not so relaxed.

Ordinary people might not see through it, their line of sight blocked by the explosive flames, unable to understand the truth within.

But as people involved, who understand the characteristics of these insect swarms, how could they not know what the current situation truly is?

Perhaps to others, their round of fire coverage has caused a sea of fire on the ground and they think the insect swarm has suffered heavy casualties, achieving brilliant results.

But in reality, through the Dark Spirit detection compass loaded inside the mechas, everyone could see that the actual effect of that bombardment wave was far from what others imagined.

Specifically improved high explosive missiles can indeed cause massive killing power to insects, easily tearing apart their armor and engulfing them, but this is only for the insects at the explosion center.

Actually, most of the insects in the sea of fire below were unharmed.

Their movement remains swift, and the high temperature and shockwave from the explosion do not greatly affect them.

The Desert Worm Clan has a formidable adaptability, and their body is extraordinarily strong, able to survive in the vacuum of space, an ability that is unattainable for ordinary people.

Moreover, the adaptability of the insect swarm is not just targeted at individual insects, but a trait of the whole species.

Just like if you pour acid on an insect and it escapes, when it comes back with its buddies for revenge next time, likely all of them will have a strong resistance to that acid, showing the terrifying adaptability of the insect swarm.

Like the hive mind of bees, the genes of all insects integrate into a unified gene pool.

When an insect evolves after suffering damage, this evolution is recorded in its gene pool, enabling every newborn insect to carry the same ability.

The good news is, according to Star Alliance research, this adaptability is not limitless.

Theoretically, a Desert Worm cannot continuously add more than 10 resistances to itself in a short time.

They selectively change their combat abilities based on different opponents.

However, as the insect race levels up, higher-level insects can carry more types of resistances.

Therefore, when combating them, it’s essential to kill in one blow and not let them escape; otherwise, you’ll be the one suffering in the end.

Now, this sudden appearance of an insect race force on the Moon, who knows where and which species they’ve fought before, their resistance to kinetic and explosive damages is unexpectedly high.

Despite the flames roaring fiercely, in reality, very few insects have truly perished.

This loss in numbers is insignificant for a swarm of such massive scale.

In simple terms, it’s like scratching the surface.

"Be careful! It’s the Flying Dragon swarm! Watch out and maintain distance! Retreat!"

Sol’s voice echoed in the communication channel of the Mecha Force, reaching everyone’s ears.

As a former mecha force instructor on Guleng Star, Sol returned to his old profession after awakening his Dark Spirit power.

He also serves as the Anti-Demon Alliance’s Mecha combat commander, and with his experience and capability, no one is more suitable for this position than him.

Now, swiftly approaching them is a Flying Dragon Unit numbering around two thousand.

The insects known as Flying Dragons are gigantic flying insects with two wings on their backs, over 5 meters long, resembling dragonflies.

They possess immense strength, with eight pairs of sharp forelimbs slicing through iron like mud, easily tearing open any shield, maxing out their armor piercing.

Their close combat ability is extremely fierce; being engaged by them is a nightmare.

Moreover, their long-range attack power is not weak either.

These insects can spew a highly corrosive poison liquid from their mouths, similar to their armor piercing ability, the poison liquid has a similar effect and can easily corrode solid armor and shields, not to be underestimated.

Based on previous observations and statistics, they are generally of Second Level, with some strong individuals reaching Third-level.

Luckily, even within the insect swarms, Flying Dragons are not numerous, considered relatively rare troops.

Led by Sol, the number of mechas conducting the bombardment is thirty, obviously not rivals for more than two thousand Flying Dragons, and now, our only choice is to temporarily retreat.

But Flying Dragons are fast, and even though the mechas are retreating with full force, they are still caught by the enemy before reaching the base.

"Don’t panic, everyone, balance your speed, maintain movement frequency, adjust formation to a cross structure, use crossfire to cover the retreat, don’t let those guys get close!"

Sol calmly commanded everyone, the mechas immediately reformed, transitioning into a unique cross shape.

This cross formation is not a formation used on Cold Weapon battlefields on Water Blue Star, but a three-dimensional structure used for space combat.

Heavy mechas take turns firing, forming an intersecting firepower net, gradually shooting down the approaching Flying Dragons, steadily retreating backward.

However, the number of Flying Dragons is relatively more, and as time passed, the situation for everyone has become increasingly tough.

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

Immediately, as those Flying Dragons reached a certain distance near everyone, they also launched long-range attacks in retaliation.

The Qin’en Mecha originates from Guleng Star, but also underwent modifications by the Star Alliance, having a number of defensive arrays carved into it, providing protection against Alien Species’ Dark Spirit attacks.

Otherwise, unless using Dark Spiritual Material, no matter how hard the armor is, it can’t withstand the damage from those monsters.

Unfortunately, the Flying Dragons’ corrosive poison liquid has a very strong defense breaking ability, even having a powerful killing effect against the Dark Spiritual Shield.

The shield outside the mecha was quickly breached, and when the poison liquid splashed onto the mecha itself, large gaping holes were immediately corroded.

"Dammit! Full fire power! Don’t hold back!"

Watching several comrades’ mechas fall behind due to power system failure, torn apart by Flying Dragons they surrounded, Sol couldn’t help but blush with rage.

Upon his command, all mechas poured out their reserves of ammunition, and several ultra-large yield missiles were fired, instantly creating a blank area in the Flying Dragon swarm ahead.

However, this small blank area was quickly filled by companions swarming from behind, giving everyone extremely limited breathing time.

"This is..."

Suddenly, Sol glanced at the continuously pulsing Dark Spirit detection compass, as if realizing something, his expression suddenly changed.
