Chapter 224: Total victory! 1% casualty rate! Decapitation!
Not long after, V and his group arrived at a corner.

The pulse scanner in the scout's hand has shown that a large number of Harvester soldier ants have gathered in the area on the left not far from them.

These soldier ants are all elite soldiers wearing exoskeletons and holding energy guns. They are nearly two meters tall and control the path to the headquarters command center.

Obviously, their destination is within sight!

"Team Two stay here to protect the engineering team, Team One will follow me!"

V instructed through the team's communication device.

On the side of the harvester soldier ants who were on high alert, the soldier ants, having received the queen's orders through their collective consciousness system, looked around vigilantly.

From time to time, a "hissing" sound came out of their mouths, as if they were having a conversation.

Although these soldier ants did not know how the human soldiers locked onto their command center, at this point the only thing they could do was to fight to the death to stop the humans.

If a human commando team were to sneak all the way in here and destroy their control room, this mothership would be completely ruined!

By then, let alone launching a counterattack against the human fleet outside, even changing direction and escaping from the solar system would be a pipe dream.

At this moment, a series of heavy footsteps suddenly sounded. When the soldier ants turned around, they saw a huge "tin can" rushing towards them!

"hiss--!!"

As the soldier ants cried out in fear and panic, V had already swung down with the chainsword, chopping the nearest reaper into pieces.

It was not until this moment that the soldier ants hurriedly raised their guns, aimed at V and pulled the trigger.

As the energy bombs whizzed towards them, V and his group of Astartes warriors, while trying their best to dodge, also took big strides forward.

boom! boom--!
When the energy bombs landed on the outer shell of the heavy armor Mark X power armor, they were basically blocked and offset by the thick ceramic steel material.

As long as V and his group of warriors rush fast enough and don't let the soldier ants lock on to them easily, they are actually not afraid of these insignificant energy bombs!
Although the energy bombs fired by the soldier ants were quite dense, they were not enough to shatter V's power armor in a short period of time. At most, they left some burnt scars.

At this moment, V, who had led his team into the enemy camp, swung the chainsword in his hand and started killing indiscriminately.

Greatsword in right hand, bolter in left hand.

All that could be heard were the "pop" and "bang" sounds of the attacks, which, like the rhythmic drum beats of a death melody, struck the life strings of these soldier ants.

Faced with this swift attack, the Harvester soldier ants were completely unable to organize any effective counterattack.

To put it bluntly, the exoskeletons on them are just auxiliary tools that look good but are useless. They are no match for V, an oversized can that has both internal and external abilities.

Even if V took off his power armor and fought these weak heretic bugs with pure physical strength, he would still be the winner.

At this moment, facing the Astartes warriors who were like wolves among a flock of sheep, the Harvester soldier ants' most commonly used and most effective means of attack - the human wave tactics - has completely failed!

In front of these dozens of large tin-can warriors, they were like pigs and dogs at the mercy of others. Once they got close, they would be chopped into pieces or blasted into ashes by swords and cannons.

At this moment, V's powerful combat capability as a Primaris warrior was fully demonstrated.

On the front battlefield, all the soldier ants' attention was drawn to V alone, and the Astartes warriors of the second team took the opportunity to seize the advantageous terrain.

Then he set up an alternating firepower network to help V clear out the soldier ant units below.

Da da da--!
boom! !

The explosive submachine gun, the Kantao intelligent machine gun, and the plasma sniper cannon interweave into a graceful song of death that spreads among the Reaper soldier ants.

In less than five minutes, this group of Astartes warriors completed the mission of exterminating the soldier ants in the area, and more than half of the soldier ants died at the hands of V alone!
After these obstacles were removed, the soldiers gathered together again and continued to escort the engineering team forward to the entrance of the command center.

There, there was a tightly closed gate blocking the entrance and exit, but this was not a difficult task for V.

After taking a quick look at the gate and knocking on it with his hand to estimate the approximate strength of the door, V kicked it hard.

With a loud "boom", the seemingly solid door was kicked open by V.

Seeing this, Song Zhaomei, who was standing behind him, was filled with shock and astonishment.

Ta Ta Ta -!
The moment the door was kicked open, the Astartes warriors on both sides immediately rushed into the command center.

All I saw were dozens of big-headed doll-like harvesters standing in front of their respective control consoles, giving various command and control instructions.

The moment the two sides looked at each other, the Reapers subconsciously wanted to control these human soldiers through brain wave mind control.

However, with thick power armor on, the Reapers' brainwave attacks are useless to the warriors!
Without any nonsense or hesitation, the Astartes warriors rushed in and chopped and trampled the heretic insects inside, slaughtering them all.

In order to protect the equipment in the command center from being damaged by bullets as much as possible, the soldiers had to work hard to catch and kill the Reapers one by one.

"Hiss!!"

When you see a group of terrifying tall "tin cans" tearing their own kind apart alive, chopping them to death, or punching them to pieces.

The harvesters in the command center felt dizzy and as if they had entered a damned hell.

The heart-wrenching pain they felt was clearly conveyed through the sharing of conscious information.

This also resulted in some reapers falling into a state of great pain even before they were stabbed.

Phew! !
As the last Reaper was cut in two by V's chainsaw sword, he spoke coldly to the engineering team behind him in a low voice:
"Safety."

After making eye contact with V for a second, Song Zhaomei nodded, and immediately took over the control console of the Reaper with the engineer behind her.

Because the basic network structure of the Harvester civilization is consistent with that used by humans, both are digital systems based on binary.

Therefore, Song Zhaomei only took a quick look and basically understood the main functions and mechanisms of these control consoles.

Immediately, at Song Zhaomei's nod, several engineers took out their portable tablets and computer devices, as well as related hacking tools, and began to implant virus programs.

At this time, V walked slowly to Song Zhaomei's side, looked at the familiar codes in front of him, and asked:

"With your capabilities, can you fully take over the Reaper mothership's systems within three minutes?"

V was once considered a hacker with excellent technical capabilities. He was able to handle both the ICE intrusion protocol and the Blackwall intrusion with ease.

Although V has been in the Iron Hands Chapter and busy carrying out various conquest operations in the universe over the years, he has not forgotten his old profession.

In fact, V's current network hacking capabilities are not much worse than those engineers in front of him!

Facing V's question, Song Zhaomei responded without even turning her head: "If we just want to implant a virus and paralyze the operating system of the Reaper mothership, we only need three seconds."

"But now what we have to do is take over all control of the mothership, which will take at least three minutes."

In fact, it doesn't take three minutes, but it is Song Zhaomei's first time using the Harvester's operating system, so she still needs a minute or two to adapt to the control console.

"Okay, go ahead."

V nodded, then turned on the internal communication device and reported to the headquarters: "Morgan, everything is going well here. It will take about three minutes to get the Reaper's operating system."

"Yes, received."

After hearing Morgan Blackhand's voice, V said nothing more and turned around and left the command center.

Next, his task was to lead this group of Astartes warriors to build a defensive fire line to ensure that the engineers inside would not be disturbed in any way.

After a while, the harvester soldier ants that came from all directions, under the queen's command, began to try to retake the control room.

Unfortunately, with V and his group of rock-steady warriors standing here, the newly arrived soldier ants quickly dispersed and collapsed, and failed to reoccupy the command center.

……

……

At the same time, in the airborne area far away at the other end of the mothership, Johnny and Jack were the main assault force.

boom--! !

The continuous explosions and dense rain of energy bombs shuttled back and forth, causing bursts of flying sand and rocks on the battlefield.

Although in terms of firepower, this Astartes commando and the newly arrived reinforcements can withstand the attack of the Harvester soldier ants.

But the number of harvesters in front of them was too large. Soldier ants swarmed in from all directions all over the mountains, and the soldiers' defense line had to be further compressed.

There was no other way. The soldiers had almost used up all their ammunition. If it weren’t for the weapons and ammunition brought by the reinforcements, they might not have been able to hold on!

"Fuck it!"

"How can we never kill all of these damn heretic bugs? We've almost killed hundreds of thousands of them. Why can't this be ended?"

At this time, Jack Wells' hands were a little numb from the long hours of shooting and fighting, and he couldn't help cursing.

Through the screen display on the tactical helmet, Jack could see the "red dots" representing the Harvester soldier ants, which never decreased from beginning to end.

There are even more and more!

After killing one batch, another batch would appear, and there was no way to end the battle. Even their ammunition had been replaced twice.

If it weren't for the supplies delivered by the backup troops, they would have already drawn their chainsaw swords and engaged in close combat with the millions of soldier ants in front of them.

After replacing the magazine once again and pulling the bolt, Jack simply raised the Vulcan Gatling gun that had just been delivered, aimed at the soldier ants less than a kilometer away from the front line, and pulled the trigger:
"Fuck you! Kill you damn heretics!"

boom!
boom--!
In an instant, a Gatling gun emitting blue flames spit out projectiles and flew into the battlefield, blasting the densely packed Harvester soldier ants into two pieces.

But before long, Jack heard the "click" of an empty chamber. He continued to change the magazine, preparing to shoot an unknown round.

However, Jack Wells did not rush to open fire. Instead, he handed the Gatling gun to the soldier beside him and quickly walked to the communication station.

"When will the reinforcements and ammunition arrive? I'm running out of bullets!"

As soon as Jack picked up the communication device, he shouted at the top of his voice to ask about the situation at headquarters.

[It will take about eight more minutes! ]

Immediately, a response came from headquarters.

"..."

Jack Wells was silent for a moment. He first zoomed in on the holographic screen of his tactical helmet and carefully checked the battlefield dynamics and ammunition consumption. At this time, they had already shrunk the battle line to the vicinity of the landing zone. The surrounding giant enterprise troops could only hold the defensive line but could not advance outward.

"Damn it! I hope we can hold out until reinforcements and airdrops arrive. I don't want to fight with these disgusting heretics with bayonets."

After cursing inwardly, Jack continued to switch more screen displays to check the first combat perspectives of other troops.

In the AST Power Armor Squad, Full Metal Bitch Rita from Earth 003's "Edge of Tomorrow" is leading her troops in close combat with the Reapers in front of the front line.

I have to admit that Rita, who has rich combat experience, is quite capable. The Titan mecha she controls is very flexible and aggressive.

The troops led by Rita managed to hold the front line in the northwest corner by hand-to-hand combat. A large number of soldier ants were killed by her, and the corpses piled up into a mountain.

Swish——! !

The laser cannon, which had completed charging again, was fired from the hands of the Astartes "Iron Man" warrior. Large groups of soldier ants were quickly annihilated under the shooting of this flying unit.

But at the same time, this group of Astartes warriors wearing anti-Hulk armor were also attacked by tens of thousands of energy cannons and bullets.

boom……!
Suddenly, several energy balls as big as watermelons came quickly from a distance and hit an Astartes warrior directly.

Fortunately, there was a layer of antimatter shield on the anti-Hulk armor, which helped the warrior offset some of the damage, but the huge impact force still knocked him to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Jack Wells immediately responded and loudly reminded everyone through the communication:
【Attention all departments! 】

[The enemy has used heavy energy cannons. Be careful of the enemy's cannons and make sure your armor has antimatter shields! ]

After he finished speaking, Jack couldn't help but start cursing again, wondering why those bastards at the headquarters were so slow in delivering ammunition.

But before Jack could curse out loud, Morgan Blackhand's voice rang out in his earphone:

[This is the Infinity-class flagship command center. Our hackers have taken over the control room of the Reaper mothership, and the enemy's air defense firepower system has been paralyzed.]

[Next, we will send two RCS-class armored cruisers into the landing zone to drop reinforcements and weapons and ammunition for you. ]

[Everyone, please hold on, the dawn of victory is just around the corner. ]

At this moment, all the Astartes warriors were suddenly cheered up. The progress of this interstellar war finally showed some signs of progress!

Sure enough, just after Morgan Blackhand finished speaking, a large number of fighter jets, carrying countless bombs, began to fly over the landing zone.

Swish——! !

The air formation quickly deployed the belly bomb bay of the aircraft and dropped various bombs among the soldier ants.

In an instant, countless small mushroom clouds rose slowly among the Harvester soldier ants, and the foul smell of rotten and burnt gases filled the air.

Fortunately, I was wearing sealed power armor, otherwise the smell of these charcoal-roasted insects alone would be enough to knock out a large number of soldiers!
boom--! ! !
The fighter jets dropped a miniature plasma bomb, which released a TNT equivalent of nearly 2 tons.

The rapidly expanding high-temperature blue fireball instantly vaporized and annihilated the harvester soldier ants below.

The strong shock wave caused by the explosion easily tore apart the exoskeletons of many soldier ants, shocking the weak soldier ants to death.

In just a moment, the harvester soldier ants all over the mountains turned into countless huge craters exploded by bombs, and the space in front of the commandos' line suddenly became much emptier.

Seeing that the outcome was decided, the Astartes warriors below breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time let out excited war cries.

"Cool!!"

At this moment, Jack Wells looked at the gap in the Reaper mothership not far behind him, where carrier-based aircraft of the Megacorp forces were constantly emerging.

He understood that the war had entered the countdown, and what he had to watch next was the situation of David's decapitation operation!

Then, Jack Wells turned his attention back to the battlefield. After looking at the casualties of the team, he immediately gave orders to his subordinates:

"Now, bring enough ammunition and rush over to crush those heretic bugs into slag. Leave no one alive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jack led the large force to launch a counterattack, and the soldiers who had been holding their breath also gave out war roars and followed their leader to launch the attack.

……

At this moment.

In the outer star field of the Reaper mothership, the Reaper carrier-based aircraft group that lost the command of the headquarters began to drift around in the star field like a kite with a broken string, flying back and forth.

Faced with these aircraft groups that had lost their threat, the Giant Enterprise's close-in defense guns did not need to be polite to the Reapers and fired directly at them, destroying one carrier-based aircraft after another like swatting a fly.

And in the command center of the Infinity-class flagship headquarters.

"Report sir!"

"Our engineers have taken full control of the Reaper's command system and uploaded the data and information inside to our company headquarters."

"The landing zone where Vice Captain Jack is located has also received equipment and ammunition supplies, as well as firepower support from carrier-based aircraft."

"..."

Listening to the good news from the front lines, Morgan Blackhand, who was sitting at the center console, did not show any joy or relaxation.

His eyes were still fixed on the holographic screen in front of him.

Just now, Le Ang had a video conversation with Morgan. Under Le Ang's instructions, Morgan had to do more than just capture the Reaper mothership.

And their queen!
And now, David and Li De are still on the mission, and there is no result yet.

After thinking calmly for a moment, Morgan Blackhand spoke up and asked his staff, "Now start reporting the status of the fleet array and the casualties."

Not long after, the staff in charge of data statistics sent the latest data sheet to Morgan.

[In this "Independence Day" action plan, the Infinity-class array is 99.99% complete, with no obvious damage.]

[137 combatants died and 384 were injured, and the total personnel loss did not exceed 1%! ]

After fighting an interstellar war for nearly a whole day, the casualties on the Universal Corporation's side were less than 1%.

Such an excellent combat loss ratio cannot be achieved by any 003 Earth force.

Morgan Blackhand's slightly solemn expression relaxed a little. There were no major casualties in this combat operation, which was already a very good result.

After simply relaxing his mind, Morgan continued to issue new orders:

"Notify all departments to continue to advance toward the landing zone and gather more troops to support the commandos on the front line."

"Inflict as much firepower as possible to keep the Reaper mothership in a state of chaos. We must find the location of the Reaper Queen!"

After saying this, the correspondent below immediately responded:

"Yes!"

Here, Morgan had just finished giving instructions to his subordinates when information from the main control console of the Wanjie Base headquarters popped up on his screen again.

"..."

……

Just as breakthroughs had been made on various battlefield fronts, David and Reed, still sitting in the cabin, were hovering over the designated target area.

While patiently waiting for the target person, they also learned various real-time data through the holographic screen.

Including casualties in this combat.

When he learned that the casualties this time were less than 1%, the young and energetic David couldn't help but laugh out loud.

But after being warned by Li De with a glare, he forced himself to suppress his joy.

That's true. After all, David's role was crucial. His comrades on the front line had basically won the victory. All they needed was his little move to make a perfect ending!

At this time, the shuttle, which had captured the target person's trail, began to descend rapidly.

Through the shared images sent back by the driver, David and Reed saw the long-silent mastermind, the Reaper Queen, walk out of a mysterious fortress.

"Finally we got the chance to squat!"

David was so excited that he was rubbing his hands together, wishing he could pounce on her and insert the matrix access device into the Queen's brain.

As the speed of the Skyhawk shuttle continued to increase, David's heart began to beat rapidly and involuntarily. At this moment, his nerve activity was quite high.

It is a rare opportunity to play the key male lead in such a major operation, and David is determined to seize this hard-won opportunity.

"Report, there are 15 seconds left to reach the designated area, please be ready!"

The driver reminded using the communication equipment.

"understood."

After saying that, David, Li De and others immediately prepared for battle. After they arrived at the cabin door, they silently counted down in their hearts.

‘3, 2, 1! ’

Immediately, Reed, David and other Astartes warriors jumped out of the cabin almost at the same time, and then used the anti-Hulk device as a thruster.

call--! !

David felt the strong wind blowing on his cheeks. Looking at the Reaper Queen getting closer and closer to him, he adjusted the angle and directed everyone to gather and fire.

boom……!
More than a dozen Astartes warriors stretched out their hands and fired small laser cannons with palm thunders. A ball of energy with incandescent light swept through the air.

Heading straight towards the ground.

At this moment, outside an underground fortress not far from the command center of the Reaper mothership headquarters, a transport boat was slowly approaching the Queen.

Apparently, this is the Queen’s escape tool!

It will leave this mothership and go to another galaxy to bring other reinforcements and continue to compete with the human civilization here.

But the next second, more than a dozen laser energy balls suddenly hit the ground, blowing the transport boat in front of the Harvester Queen into pieces.
