Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang stood behind the line of puppets with his team, and said in the common communication channel, “Everyone remembers what you have to do right?”

“Hoorah!”, said the people.

Shi Lang sent the signal to Sikar and let him convey to Adjudicators that they were ready for the first stage of the war battle. Then he communicated in the team channel, “We will jump over the puppet lines and take the fight to these reptiles. Do not worry, fight at your seventy percent, and do not reveal all your skills in one go, but do not hesitate. Okay?”

Hayley asked, “How do we face such big waves?”

She asked this because in front of them at some distance she could see the cluster of green, with chaotic actions. It was as if mad bulls raging to go at it. They had no order and they had no formations. This was why she was confused about this arrangement.

Shi Lang said, “Do not worry, connect the nanobot tether rope with each other. It will help us maintain the distance we travel, but give us complete mobility. So this will not be a problem. Just focus on your training and let it all out. Do not forget to channel spiritual cultivation technique while fighting.”

In the short time of three days, most of the people had not even finished consuming one spirit stone, so at this moment, all of the Terran forces were carrying their share of spirit stones on their person and circulating the spiritual energy in their bodies they will ensure that they have the energy they need to keep on fighting. This was a mandatory instruction Shi Lang had passed over in the meetings and it was even followed up by doing a scan that confirmed that every soldier is carrying the spirit stones.

The people in the Terran forces were going to act in box formations and they will just hold their positions, and face the zergs by letting the latter come over to them. This was not something that could have been done without these puppets. Shi Lang said in the common channel, “Initiate Box formations.”

A layer of puppets surrounded the soldiers, they were ready in a blink. Shi Lang had taken out his sword and handgun, waiting for the signal to begin the war and move out. As if his thoughts were heard, the Adjudicators deployed a green flare from the sky, signaling the commencement of the war.

Shi Lang rushed in a blink and so did his team. OB-One occupied the center of the quadrilateral. His task was to provide support in dangerous situations. Do not think that OB-One was an assistant bot, this guy had the skills that could shame even Shi Lang himself in many aspects. While Shi Lang only received primary skills the bot had high-level skills.

While the group of five was charging ahead, the puppets opened a clean path for them. OB-One could manipulate the puppets as he wished. Outside the protective walls of the puppets, the team of five found Zergs swarming toward them.

Hayley and Jenkins were surprised to see the level of chaos. Shi Lang said, “Run your exercises, focus.”

The two realized that they had lost composure in this situation, Amelia was completely opposite them. She would follow Shi Lang to the end of the world if he asked her. This was nothing for her, she was also a warrior and now a cultivator so this was a chance she was longing for.

The four people and one robot came five hundred meters away from the troops and met the zergs. Shi Lang infused spiritual energy in his throat to the maximum and he let out a roar. This technique was called the dragon roars at the sky. It was a typical soundwave attack, and the use was to confuse the enemy.

The soundwave from his mouth sent out visible ripples in the void. Shi Lang aimed his neck from the right to the left. He stunned a lot of Zergs in front of him, just a few meters away from them. While the enemy was in a state of confusion, Amelia, Jenkins, and Hayley broke into the swarm and their swords moved.

The swords were all coated with a thin layer of spirit energy. The blade cut the Zergs like a hot knife through butter. The war has begun and the first kill belonged to the Terrans. The four people began to harvest every Zerg coming in front of them, and when the Zergs began to put pressure on one of the four, OB-One took action.

Shi Lang was having a ball, he was using both hands to fight the enemies, with a handgun burning holes in the heads of the lizard-like aliens. At the same time, his sword was blocking and parrying their phasor beams and slashes.

Yes, the spiritual shield array on the suits did play a big role and none of the people got injured. The wonder of these arrays hid in the consumption of spiritual energy. It was so minimal that given the spirit stones they had the Terrans could stand and fight non-stop for twenty hours while using these arrays, and that was the estimate for one spirit stone each.

That said, while the team of four was fighting ahead the reports of their attack and strength had been relayed to the deputy generals and the rest of the forces via live feeds. Suddenly the forces found their blood boiling. It was on fire, and the fire was not small, it was a volcano ready to explode.

The puppet lines collided with the Zerg swarm and the combat commenced. The puppets had cold and hot weapons armed on them. The front line fired missiles and the second line took sharp shots at the heads of the scattered and shocked enemy. The third line of puppets, located higher threatening Zerg individuals and set out to take them out. While the Terrans stood behind the lines and shot at the Zergs who tried to get inside the box by leaping into the void.

The defense and the damage caused by the puppets aided the Terran army at a level that none could have predicted. A few puppets were close to being destroyed but they were saved by the puppet on the side and dragged back inside the formation wall. In the third line, there were bots programmed to fix up other puppets.

These bots were all superb and they fixed the damage in just a few seconds and the bot would return to its position. Shi Lang in the front fought side by side with his team and the impact was brutal. The Zergs seemed to be like the fish out of water.

Just when there was going to be a long-distance attack on Shi Lang and his team, OB-One would take action. This bot would fire phaser beams in quick succession and kill the snipers or bombers from the Zergs. This was causing a complete storm in the Zerg upper leadership.

…

Deputy general Sikar was standing in the command center of the warship, he was gazing at the screen, on which the scenes of the battle were playing. He had multiple screens hovering in front of him. He said, “Tell team delta to push forward, they al lagging behind.”

Sikar was guiding the teams on the ground to fine-tune the battle output to keep up with the rest of the military. He was responsible for the boxes to move forward together and surrounding the base camp of the Zerg forces. The boxes may seem to be stationary, but they were all moving at different speeds and creating a parameter.

The goal was to surround the base camp and close it inside the boxes before bombarding it with high firepower and destroying them. This was why they called this plan box formation. The boxes were all square, and the damage it cause was high.

The battle has just begun and the Zergs had lost at least ten thousand soldiers in just a few minutes. Terrans had no casualties and even the damaged puppets were fixed and pushed back in the lines. This was a slaughter and the intensity was getting out of control with every passing moment.

Shashi stood beside Deputy General Sikar and said, “I never expected that the sights of destruction could look so great. In a bad way, I mean.”

He was pointing to the corpses littering the ground as the boxes moved forward. Deputy Sikar gazed at him and said, “Do you know that if it were Terrans, these Zergs would have started to eat the corpses right away?”

Shasha imagined the scene and he could not help but shiver. Sikar suddenly said, “Relay the message to the Spike team. They have a heavy vehicle coming their way.”

The operator replied, “Relayed already General.”

Sikar glanced at the person and nodded in appreciation. When your subordinates were smart, complications were less.

…

Shi Lang read the message being relayed in his HUD and looked ahead. The HUD had a marker blinking on it. This marker was fixed with a number flashing over it. Shi Lang said in the team channel, “Get ready we are about to take a ride.”

The people all let out loud roars and they stunned the Zergs around them.
