Chapter 186: The Na’vi? Just consumables! All-out assault!
"As for the Na'vi natives on the ground..."

Li Ang pondered for a moment, frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about something difficult.

In fact, before the Infinity starship officially set off, Leon's attitude towards the Na'vi natives was to not spare them.

But as the situation changed, he suddenly realized that such an approach would not maximize the benefits for LA Company.

To put it bluntly, the indigenous Na'vi people on Pandora are creatures that rely on "spiritual trees" for survival.

The spiritual tree brings them wisdom enlightenment, spiritual enlightenment, and mental pleasure.

Their consciousness is being influenced, changed, and even reshaped by "Eva" through the spirit tree at every moment!
The Na'vi people of every tribe, from birth to growth to death, are inseparable from the spirit tree throughout their lives and are controlled by "Eva's" consciousness.

To a certain extent, the Na'vi are just Eva's tools. Even Eva only regards the natives here as her "consumables".

Then, as the controller of a giant enterprise, what's wrong with Leon treating these Na'vi natives as resources and consumables for his company?

As for consumables, it is reasonable for the Na'vi to be pulled into the matrix to continue generating electricity or to be used as free labor to mine minerals.

If we simply kill them all by violence, it would be a serious waste of resources and would be inefficient and stupid.

"Leave them here."

Li Ang spoke in a calm tone.

Once Eva is controlled, it will be equivalent to controlling all living things on this planet. At that time, the role of the Na'vi natives will be the same as that of the LA company's clones.

If you want to mine, then mine; if you want to generate electricity, then generate electricity.

Of course, Leon himself prefers to maintain the ecological balance of Pandora, allowing these Na'vi people to continue to worship the "spiritual tree" and dedicate their consciousness to Eva.

"Yes!"

Song Zhaomei nodded. After learning about Li Ang's series of plans, she certainly knew that doing so was in the best interests of LA Company.

If "Eva" is compared to a tree, then the Na'vi are the nutrients. If even the nutrients are gone, Eva's consciousness network will surely collapse.

A lose-lose outcome is of no benefit to anyone.

"It will be dawn soon. The war on the ground should start soon."

Leon once again cast his gaze towards the holographic screen in front of him. As time passed, his thoughts drifted towards the post-war scenario.

……

……

As an alien planet that is highly similar to the Earth, Pandora rotates once every 26 hours, which is basically the same as a day on Earth.

At this moment, with the natural light provided by Alpha Centauri, the sunlit side of Pandora was lit up, and the rainforest on the ground was suddenly bathed in the sunshine of a new day.

However, the new day is the day when the war begins in full swing!
Somewhere in a floating stone resource area where many strange mountains are suspended, a large flying formation is rapidly passing by.

Among them were two aerial gunboats and transport planes, which stood out particularly among the flying formations.

This formation with hundreds of flying vehicles was an offensive combat mission initiated by the Arasaka formation of the LA Alliance!
With the establishment of the LA Alliance and the construction of Ideal City, today's various cyber giants have basically become departments under the LA Corporation.

For example, the Arasaka Corporation, which was once the overlord of the earth, has now become the Arasaka department of LA Corporation. This time, the combat plan responsible for the Arasaka department is to bombard the floating stone area!

When the C-21 "Dragon" assault boat that looks like a flying turtle in the sky, the Valkyrie transport aircraft, and the AT-99 Scorpion attack helicopter formed a flying array.

As they marched across the mountains in a mighty procession, the Na'vi people underground were also waiting for their chance to move.

Soon, the flight formation began to rapidly descend in altitude, preparing to land on the ground to carry out today's combat mission.

Finally, they were in an open area, wearing their respective power armor and standard firepower weapons.

The power armor of this team members is AMP mecha provided by LA company. It looks a bit funny in appearance, like a giant without a head.

But in fact, this kind of power armor can better cope with various terrains than AST power armor, so that soldiers can complete their combat missions!

Soon after the soldiers of the local face-off force were almost ready, the flying formation took off again and approached the area of ​​the spiritual tree ahead.

But under the commander's order, the speed of this flying formation was not fast. They flew slowly above the soldiers of the troops, providing them with fire support at all times.

In the main command center of this formation, Takemura Goro's voice has already sounded:
"This is the Arasaka Division. Our mission today is very simple. We will deliberately create some noise to attract those bastards to fight us!"

Since the Arasaka Corporation was incorporated into the LA Alliance, Goro Takemura, who had been hiding in the east of Chiba Castle, also got a position in the Arasaka department with the rise of LA Corporation.

He is now a mid-level officer in the LA Alliance, responsible for some military operations of the Arasaka division.

"Yes!"

The fully armed soldiers below responded one after another.

After a while, after seeing the floating stone resource area and the "spiritual tree" within his sight, Takemura Goro continued to issue orders on the communication equipment:

"Attention all!"

"The target has entered the visible area, estimated to be three kilometers ahead, all flight formations please prepare to drop bombs and fire."

"..."

As Takemura Goro finished speaking, the fighter jets in the sky immediately responded to him: "Received, the bombing device is ready."

After that, under the control of the pilots, Arasaka's fleet began to accelerate forward.

But at this moment, the reconnaissance aircraft at the front of the fleet suddenly reported:
"Report sir!"

"There are suspected to be a large number of Na'vi natives on the ground. They have cavalry and have already engaged in a firefight with our ground troops."

The observer in the reconnaissance plane reported to Goro Takemura while cutting the captured images into his visual screen in real time.

However, just as Goro Takemura looked at the holographic screen in front of him, the battlefield images transmitted by the reconnaissance aircraft began to have intermittent signal problems.

The entire screen looked like an old-fashioned TV, with a blurry "snowy" image appearing.

"What's going on? Show me the video!"

When Goro Takemura saw this scene, he couldn't help but frown and immediately gave orders to the technician beside him.

"Yes."

The technicians who received the instructions immediately carried out repairs and restart operations, but their visible images were still blurry.

"Report to the commander! There is a serious magnetic field interference in the area where we are. The navigation and photography systems of all flying units have failed."

Upon hearing such bad news, Goro Takemura subconsciously clenched his fists before he could make any further decisions.

A large number of Na'vi riding on spotted beasts suddenly appeared near the flying column where he was.

The Na'vi people each held a longbow, and while making strange noises at the flying formation of the Arasaka unit, they drew their bows and arrows and shot at them.

"Oh no, we've been ambushed!"

Takemura Goro instantly realized the critical situation. While requesting fire support from nearby reinforcements, he issued an order to Arasaka's fleet:
"All units, fire freely!"

"I repeat, fire freely and don't worry about the ammunition!"

boom! !

As soon as Goro Takemura gave the order to open fire, Arasaka's fleet was attacked by the Na'vi people with varying degrees of attack intensity.

For a moment, chaotic shouts rang out one after another.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Everyone open fire! Kill these damn alien bastards!"

"..."

As calls and instructions were given by commanders of various units, the Arasaka fleet was like a flamingo with wings spread out in flames. The surging bullets and artillery fire were like feather blades, attacking the Na'vi flying cavalry.

boom……!
A loud explosion suddenly sounded.

It turned out that a fearless Na'vi rode a leviathan and launched a suicidal crash directly into the engine of a fighter plane, causing the fighter plane to be destroyed and the pilot to die.

"Damn it...!" Seeing more and more Na'vi attacking the weak points of the Arasaka fleet, Takemura Goro cursed angrily.

He could see that these Na'vi people were well prepared, so they waited for Arasaka's fleet to enter this area of ​​strong magnetic field before suddenly launching an attack.

At this moment, due to the chaos of the magnetic field, the communication of the Arasaka unit's fleet was interrupted and the fire control system was lagging. They were under a strong attack from the enemy.

Arasaka's fleet of machines either exploded or had engine failures, falling straight to the ground, and eventually the machines and soldiers were engulfed in the raging flames.

On the ground in the rainforest battlefield, the soldiers of the Arasaka unit also faced the attack of the Na'vi natives.

Amidst the dense hail of bullets, guns of various calibers played a symphony of death.

Thanks to the help of the intelligent bullet navigation system of the Kangtao department, the Arasaka soldiers can easily kill large groups of Namei cavalry without much aiming.

This also meant that their combat performance was much better than that of the aircraft groups that were attacked in the air.

The Na'vi cavalry charge was like a sitting duck under the powerful impact of LA's intelligent, kinetic, and technological weapons.

Ten steps away, the gun is fast.

Within ten steps, the gun is accurate and fast!

What's more, the weapons used by LA's ground forces basically have a range of several hundred steps.

A wave of volleys swept over, and the Namei cavalry formation was like fallen straw, with groups of people being shot and falling to the ground.

Some of the Na'vi who were shot and fell to the ground but were not completely dead yet, just tried to struggle to get up, but were trampled into blue meat paste by the following cavalry.

However, there are always some unlucky Arasaka soldiers who will accidentally be stabbed by the Na'vi's long arrows while shooting.

The strength level of these natives is much higher than that of ordinary humans, so the Arasaka soldiers who were shot by them would basically be nailed to trees or the ground with their arrows.

But even so, the situation on the ground battlefield is still firmly controlled by the soldiers of the Arasaka department.

Soon, the Na'vi cavalry regiment could no longer hold on, and they chose to retreat and temporarily avoid the attack.

The battle in the sky also gradually turned into a white-hot stage from the beginning when the Arasaka fleet was passively beaten.

Under the powerful artillery bombardment, the Namei cavalry in the air gradually couldn't hold on.

The balance of victory in this local war seems to be tilting towards the Arasaka division!

But just as Arasaka's fleet was about to reach the target "Spirit Tree", thousands of wild Beastmasters suddenly swooped in from the mountains in all directions.

As they flapped their wings and soared, they howled at the Arasaka fleet, as if they were showing off their might to the enemy.

At the same time, a large number of wild beasts suddenly emerged from the ground. The Namei Cavalry Regiment, which was on the verge of defeat just now, regrouped and attacked the Arasaka soldiers again.

Seeing a large number of giant hammer-headed thunder beasts and huge and ferocious black panther beasts appearing on the battlefield on the ground, the Arasaka soldiers on the ground were instantly frightened.

They have never seen such a scene!
At this moment, looking at the group of wild beasts that suddenly emerged in the sky and on the ground, Goro Takemura realized that the rumor about "Eva" in the army was true!

There really is a planetary consciousness helping these indigenous peoples to fight against their colonization efforts.

"Report to the commander! The enemy has reinforcements. We need reinforcements! We need reinforcements!"

"Baga! There are too many beasts on the opposite side. We can't defeat them all!"

"Asking for support! Requesting support!"

"..."

The communication channel of the Arasaka department was filled with the panicked voices of personnel from various departments. They were so anxious that they almost hurt their throats by shouting.

Seeing this extremely chaotic scene, Goro Takemura was so angry that his teeth were about to break. Now their communication device was malfunctioning and they couldn't call for reinforcements at all!

"Are we going to die on this alien planet..."

Goro Takemura suddenly felt sad. If today was the day he would die, he hoped that he could be buried in the soil of his hometown.

Fortunately, not long after, just as the large-scale beast reinforcements were about to overwhelm the Arasaka department's troops, the Banxi beasts in the sky were suddenly shot down one by one by other sources of firepower.

The super-large-caliber artillery was like a dense barrage of bullets, piercing through the bodies of one Banxi beast after another. For a moment, "beast rain" fell from the sky!
"boom……!!"

“Boom!”

Then, in the thick smoke and fog that dissipated from the aerial battlefield, hundreds of Scorpion fighters and arrays of Skyhawk shuttles appeared.

The exterior of the cabins of these aircraft are all engraved with exquisite and domineering legion emblems, which are emblems composed of metal gloves, gears, and metal tubes!

They are reinforcements for the Iron Hands Chapter!

"It's V... It's V and they are here."

As the prestigious Astartes Legion of the LA Alliance, no one is unaware of the unique emblem of the Iron Hands warriors.

Seeing that the troops coming to rescue them turned out to be the alliance's ace army, Goro Takemura suddenly felt relieved, and a sense of "stability" arose spontaneously.

Soon after, the Arasaka fleet, which had finally restored its communication signal, heard V's greeting:

[Old friend, I hope we arrive in time so that you don’t die in this shabby place.]

Hearing the voice of his familiar friend V, Takemura Goro couldn't help but laugh and said, "V, you're here at the right time!"

"Otherwise, my old bones will probably be eaten by the Pandora beasts on the ground."

After learning that his old friend Goro Takemura was safe and sound, V breathed a sigh of relief. After exchanging a few brief greetings with Takemura, he directly stated his purpose.

[Listen carefully, Goro, I am not here just to save your life. The task assigned to me by my boss is to occupy that spiritual tree.]

[Because after analysis and calculation by the headquarters, the Lingshu area where you are located is the most suitable place to access the matrix! ]

Spirit Tree Area...Matrix? What the hell is this!

Seeing Goro Takemura's bewildered expression, V, who was still patient, explained their specific actions to him in a few words.

Immediately after learning about the decapitation plan, Goro Takemura felt as if his entire brain was freezing and stagnant.

"Eva...Matrix!"

No wonder these beasts suddenly appeared and blocked them from approaching the spiritual tree area. It turned out that Pandora's god "Eva" had been controlling their consciousness.

If there were no matrix, they would probably be caught in an endless stream of beast attacks. By then, the human army would surely suffer heavy casualties!

[Wulang, now I need your troops to cooperate with my people and quickly occupy the spiritual tree area. ]

[Tell your people not to drop bombs on the spirit tree, lest it destroys the connection between the spirit tree and Eva! ]

V told Goro Takemura in a serious and clear tone that if this mission was to be successfully completed, he would need the active cooperation of the Arasaka department.

"No problem! I will convey your order to each of my soldiers in the department now."

After he finished speaking, Goro Takemura issued orders to the Arasaka soldiers on the ground and in the air through the communication device.

With the help of reinforcements, the Arasaka soldiers gradually regained their confidence from the initial panic and killed the Na'vi.

"Boom...!"

"boom--!!"

Endless 20mm machine guns, 40mm cannons, 105mm howitzers, and even larger caliber heavy artillery, all smashed towards various parts of the battlefield.

Although there are indeed some giant and ferocious beasts on Pandora whose shells are hard enough to withstand bullets.

But no matter how tough or ferocious they are, they are still carbon-based organisms after all.

If one missile or artillery can't kill the enemy, then use a few more!
If it were the super-large behemoth in Pacific Rim, perhaps the power of their fleet array would not be enough to break the opponent's defense.

But it is obviously more than enough to deal with these ordinary-level alien beasts on the ground.

Not long after, under the joint attack of the Arasaka Division and the Iron Hands Chapter soldiers, the group of beasts that were about to rise up were instantly beaten back.

Countless giant beasts were blown to pieces by artillery of various calibers!
