Chapter 1948: Chapter 995: The Final Journey (Part 7)_3
As the wind passed by, Xiao Er clearly smelled a stench that shouldn’t exist!
The Qing Clan officer was puzzled: "Impossible, we guarded against hacker intrusion, didn’t use electronic sensor mines, only mechanical structure pressure mines, as long as something weighing over 80 kilograms steps on it, it will inevitably explode. Unless..."
Xiao Er asked, "Unless what?"
The Qing Clan officer said, "Unless they can silently disable all the mines."
The next second, Xiao Er suddenly pulled back his head and roared in the trench: "Enemy attack! Prepare for battle!"
The Qing Clan officer didn’t doubt his report, but solemnly asked, "What happened?"
Xiao Er urgently said, "I smelled a strange stench, a mixture of excrement and blood, incredibly foul. I judge that the orc army has appeared 6 kilometers outside the trench, and they are silently crossing the minefield, our Thunder Zone has failed!"
The visible range of the horizon is about 5 kilometers, so they hadn’t seen the orc army yet, but Xiao Er was certain they had arrived!
The Qing Clan officer picked up the communication device, and the whole position quickly gathered, all the Parents’ Meeting members and Qing Clan soldiers went into combat mode!
Xiao Er looked at the Qing Clan officer: "You’re the expert, do you doubt my judgment?"
The Qing Clan officer shook his head: "You didn’t trek seven thousand kilometers to joke around, I believe you!"
On the first defensive line, all the garrison forces quietly observed outside the trench.
It was early morning, the autumn fog was thin, but gradually everyone could see, in the distance, countless towering figures slowly approaching through the mist, like packs of tens of thousands of robust wolves.
No one knew how the orc army ignored the minefield!
As they saw it with their own eyes, everyone’s mood quickly fell to rock bottom. The minefield was their greatest reliance; if orcs smoothly crossed it, their casualty numbers would soar to a terrifying extent.
Even though the Parents’ Meeting had more than 100,000 people on the defensive line, the physique of orc soldiers was already above that of normal A-Class Genetic Warriors. Even A-Class Parent Association Members need a two-on-one to handle one orc soldier, wrong moves could lead to severe injuries.
If B-Class Family Members want to deal with one orc soldier, at least six people must surround it simultaneously to have a chance.
Translated to personnel, the defensive line was short by thirty to forty thousand men...
Yet when Qing Clan soldiers looked heavily at the Parents’ Meeting members, they found these people unfazed, even picking their noses beside them.
"Aren’t you nervous?" The Qing Clan soldier was puzzled.
The Parents’ Meeting member rubbed his fingers, rolled the nasal residue into a small ball, and flicked it away: "Of course... you should look at my lower body."
The Qing Clan soldier looked down and saw this guy’s legs were trembling...
Whether Qing Clan soldiers or Parents’ Meeting members, everyone had the courage to fight this battle, and dared to sacrifice their lives, but pre-battle nerves are normal emotions that need not be avoided.
Gradually, Xiao Er summoned more Parents’ Meeting members to the front line, with explosive daggers ready to disrupt the orc army’s formation first.
But as the orc army approached, the first sound they heard was a rustling scrape.
Xiao Er poked his head out to observe, seeing countless Six-legged Mechanical Spiders moving ahead of the orc army, their gray bodies blending with the mist, and their 30-centimeter height made them incredibly stealthy.
When they detected a mine, they stood over it on sharp legs, using front and back pairs to support themselves on the ground, while middle legs dug out the mine, then easily cut through the metal casing and disarmed the fuse!
Xiao Er was astounded!
Qing’s Family had once captured photos of the orc army moving south via satellite, yet these mechanical spiders had been hidden beneath the orcs’ massive bodies, playing a visual trick!
Everyone was focused on the endless sea of orc soldiers, missing these horrifying intelligent robots!
No wonder the orc army could effortlessly ignore the minefield!
Xiao Er whispered urgently, "Be careful, these Mechanical Spiders have multiple functions, not only can they clear mines, but they can be used for self-destruction!"
In the meantime, tens of thousands of Mechanical Spiders completed clearing mines and rapidly rushed toward the trench as vanguard, while the orc army halted patiently behind them.
The defensive line’s 36 Metal Storms roared and fired, bullets streamed like torrents, in the morning’s gray light, the heated bullets turned into strips of orange-red whips, lashing at the Mechanical Spiders!
Yet these Mechanical Spiders seemed to calculate the trajectories of these Metal Storms as they progressed, avoiding conveniently spaced gaps even before the storms fired, so the orange-red whips struck only empty spaces.
After a round of firing, only 8% of the Mechanical Spiders were damaged.
On the defensive positions, soldiers used Single Stinger Missiles against Mechanical Spiders, a missile that tracks, hard to escape regardless of target movement.
If one hit a Mechanical Spider, it would explode and kill a surrounding area.
Yet when Qing Clan soldiers unleashed the stingers, the dense spider swarm abruptly spread apart, leaving only the targeted spider standing in a clearing.
