Under the iron-gray sky, outside the first line of defense
Legenar stood quietly, the energy lines on the surface of the armor glowing slightly, accompanied by the rhythm of his breathing, like a beast ready to attack. His target was right in front of him. About five kilometers away, a thick alloy defense wall stretched across the end of his vision like an iron mountain, embedded with the enemy's automatic fire towers, anti-aircraft turrets and monitoring equipment. This was the first layer of the enemy's defense line and the starting point to the command center. The wind mixed with smoke and dust whistled through the ruins, and intermittent mechanical roars came from afar. The enemy had noticed his presence and was mobilizing troops to intercept him.
Legenar's eyes swept around and observed quietly.
Soon after, a sharp alarm broke the silence, and then a red light lit up on the defense wall in front, and dozens of energy cannons aimed at his position. He kicked his feet slightly, and his body shot out like an arrow, leaving a piece of exploded gravel and dust on the spot. His movement speed far exceeded the enemy's tracking system. The first wave of energy cannons almost fell behind him, and the exploding light illuminated the entire area.
Legnar's movements were as precise as a machine. He raised his left arm and the high-energy particle shield instantly unfolded to block multiple missiles from the flank. He did not slow down, but slid across the ground in a dive to avoid the dense shooting of an enemy automatic fire tower. While gliding, he raised his right hand and aimed the particle cannon on his wrist at the target. After a short roar, the fire tower exploded directly into a dazzling flame.
When approaching the last 100 meters of the enemy's defense line, the ground suddenly collapsed, and a large number of ambushed mechanical warriors jumped out, and their black metal bodies flashed cold light in the gray light. Their weapon systems were instantly activated, and more than a dozen lasers shot at Legnar at the same time. He raised his hands, and the energy core on the chest of the armor began to rotate, and a layer of transparent shield spread out, rebounding all the rays. Several mechanical warriors who got too close were directly blown to pieces by their own weapons.
"Disruption trap deployment." A brief tactical reminder emerged in his mind. These machines are not conventional combat units, but obstacles used to consume his attention and mobility. But their computing system obviously underestimated his ability.
Legnar's steps did not stop for a moment. His body tilted slightly, and the energy sword in his right hand popped out, and the bright red light blade was like a piece of moonlight cutting through the night. He jumped forward and slashed with a sword. The three mechanical warriors blocking in front of him were cut off at the waist, and the gushing sparks splashed like a rainstorm. When he landed, the vibration under his feet lifted up a piece of rubble, and his left hand had already thrown out a high-explosive energy bomb, hitting the distant mechanical cluster like a cannonball. With the violent explosion, a large piece of metal debris was thrown into the air.
At this time, the enemy commander on the defense wall had completely lost control of the situation. The automatic firepower system and mechanical troops they sent out could not stop Legnar's advance alone. They urgently ordered to activate the last checkpoint of the defense line-a group of elite soldiers equipped with heavy firepower rushed out of the secret door under the defense wall and quickly formed a tactical formation. Every move they made was rigorously trained and looked orderly.
Legnar stopped and raised his head slightly. His mask covered all his expressions, but the tactical system had already analyzed the most vulnerable links of these enemies for him. He didn't wait and rushed directly into the enemy camp.
The first wave of firepower hit him head-on, and his particle shield expanded to its maximum, shattering a series of explosive shock waves. He jumped up in the flames, and swung the energy sword in his hand violently, directly splitting the heavy armor of an enemy in half, and oil and metal debris splashed. The moment his toes landed on the ground, he stabbed back and accurately pierced the helmet of another soldier. Blood splattered on his armor, but before he could turn around, three enemies had already surrounded him from the side.
He quickly took a step back, sank his body, dodged the incoming stab, and swung his sword across, cutting off the legs of the nearest enemy. Seeing this, the other man retreated and tried to distance himself and shoot with a long-range weapon, but Legnar was faster - he pulled out an energy dagger and threw it, hitting the target's chest. The enemy covered his wound and fell down, uttering a short scream. He slaughtered the enemy tirelessly at a speed that was too fast to react, until the last enemy's head fell to the ground, and the surroundings finally returned to peace. Legnar stood between a pool of blood and metal debris, and the blood on the energy sword gradually evaporated into mist. He glanced around to make sure that no one had escaped, and then turned to the broken defense wall. His body leaned back slightly, concentrating his strength on his feet. The next second, he shot out like a cannonball, directly smashing the door of the alloy wall. A huge shock wave swept around, splashing a large area of dust.
Inside the wall, the road to the command center has been opened. Legnar adjusted the state of the armor to remove the minor damage during the battle.
Legnar passed through the damaged defense wall. The cold gray metal passage was filled with twisted ripples of high-temperature airflow. The air was filled with the smell of melted metal and burning flesh. His footsteps were steady and rhythmic. Every time his hard boots stepped on the ground, a low metal collision sound echoed in the silence. His armor slightly adjusted the internal temperature to adapt to the surrounding environment. Although the high temperature around was enough to melt the armor of ordinary soldiers, for him, this change only required fine-tuning two parameters in the energy module of the armor core to solve it. He raised his left arm slightly, and the tactical screen on the wrist armor flashed updated information images, showing a holographic map of the enemy's next line of defense. The enemy distribution marked in the picture was like a complex ecosystem, and the tactical analysis program was calculating the enemy's movements and firepower coverage in real time.
He squinted his eyes and noticed that at the corner ahead, a team of enemy troops equipped with heavy infantry armor were crawling, trying to hide their movements. He slowly lowered his center of gravity, adjusted his breathing frequency, and inserted the energy sword back into the hanging slot in the right arm armor. The hidden enemy was obviously a fire team trying to ambush, and their equipment was much better than the mass-produced mechanical soldiers on the periphery. The target locking system on the helmet flickered slightly as they moved, indicating that they were equipped with more advanced sensors and weapons, but this was still nothing in front of Legnar.
He stopped at the corner, the stealth mode on his chest armor was activated, and the optical camouflage integrated him with the surrounding environment. His mind was as calm as a crystal, and he quickly analyzed the opponent's tactical intentions: this team of soldiers was forming a crossfire network, trying to block the passage, and two of them were carrying pulse jammers, which were obviously specially designed for electronic equipment. He did not rush in directly, but quickly switched the particle shield on his left arm to a pulse absorption module. At the moment when the opponent activated the jammer, he took a step forward and swung the dagger in his hand at the nearest soldier.
The sound of the dagger cutting the air was as light as a whisper, but the enemy was unable to react, and the dagger directly penetrated the target's neck seam, breaking the connection point between the helmet and the armor, and piercing the fatal vital point. The soldier's body stiffened, and then he collapsed, making a dull sound of metal hitting the ground. He took advantage of the situation and jumped forward with a roll, and at the same time drew out the energy sword, swung a horizontal slash, and accurately cut off the weapon arms of the two closest soldiers from the shoulders. The friction sound of the blade cutting through the alloy was accompanied by high-frequency vibrations, and the enemy's screams became short and weak in the tactical helmet.
The remaining soldiers were shocked by this series of rapid actions, but Legnar did not give them a chance to breathe. He dodged two plasma bombs from the left with a perfect side roll, and then bounced up instantly. The energy sword in his right hand drew an arc and split the chest of another soldier in half along with the internal core. Sparks and blood burst in the narrow passage, and the surface of his armor automatically activated the cleaning function, turning the splashed dirt into steam and volatilizing.
The pulse jammer at the back was finally activated, and a powerful electronic pulse wave tried to interfere with the core module of his armor. However, the absorption module had already been fully loaded, and his armor was not only intact, but even reversely charged, feeding the absorbed energy back to the blade. He leaped into the air, charged up his energy, and swung his sword violently, releasing a red energy shock wave. The wave was like a substance, engulfing the enemies in the entire narrow passage, and the metal and flesh were torn and evaporated in the scorching energy, and the fire was mixed with debris and burning fragments.
As the smoke gradually dissipated, Legnar stood in a ruin. His body temperature monitoring showed a slight increase, but it was quickly restored to normal by the automatic adjustment system inside the armor. His mind was still calm and he looked at the other end of the passage with a little scrutiny. The defense barrier there had been completely closed. It seemed that the enemy was aware of the failure of the front line and was trying to use layers of blockades to delay his advance. He turned to a main control panel on the side of the passage and raised his hand to directly insert a data interface extending from the gauntlet. He did not choose violent destruction, because the tactical program told him that subsequent fortifications might be chain-activated based on the blockade state, and it would be best to use their own system loopholes to disintegrate them one by one.
The data stream sent back from the interface was clearly displayed on the inner screen of his visor. The enemy's control authority was cracked layer by layer, and the internal and external situations of the defense barrier were clearly visible. His fingers quickly entered a series of commands on the panel, and the energy core of the barrier was remotely overloaded, causing an internal short circuit. The heavy alloy door in front of him slowly slid open, and the lights in the rear passage gradually lit up.
He stepped into the new area, which was obviously one of the important hubs of the enemy. The ground was engraved with complex energy lines, and the huge cylinder in the center was the power core of the entire area. The dense enemy soldiers around were waiting in full battle formation. They obviously realized that simple numbers could not stop him, and began to mobilize higher-level biological weapons and mechanical troops. A huge mechanical beast slowly crawled out from a distance, with a multi-barreled weapon system installed on its limbs. After its optical sensor scanned Legnar, it immediately locked and let out a low roar.
