Chapter 472 - 231: Lin Feng Lv. 31, Crisis, The Solution

Chapter 472: Chapter 231: Lin Feng Lv. 31, Crisis, The Solution

"A force of this magnitude won’t be easy to handle."

Lin Feng frowned after hearing Ling Yi’s analysis of his concerns.

’With the Zerg Race’s aerial units at this scale, sending just one Genetic Combat Team will be nowhere near enough. My two Genetic Combat Teams only have forty people in total. Even armed with Electromagnetic Cannons, they’ll have to maintain constant vigilance against threats from the sky.’

’While they’re busy killing Cyan-winged Zergs and fending off Wind-winged Zergs, they can also use their Electromagnetic Cannons to provide fire support on the ground. Their accuracy and effectiveness would be far superior to the defenders on the front line.’

’But once they take to the air, that only leaves the forty-odd members of the Tier Two Gene Combat Team and a dozen or so newly advanced Tier Two Awakeners on the ground. They’d have to face hundreds of tenacious Samurai Hunter Zergs...’

’The power balance would be severely skewed against us.’

’If even a few slip through and break into the Warriors’ defensive line, it would undoubtedly lead to a bloody massacre, causing a massive loss of our Tier Two Battle Group reserves.’

Apparently, Lin Feng had not expected that the death of the Yunxia Ridge Mother Empress would attract so many Zerg forces. They had crossed nearly a hundred kilometers to attack him, attempting to occupy Yunxia Ridge’s territory and absorb the remaining Swarm there.

In particular, the Tier Three Mid-stage Mother Empress had deployed and arrived. It alone, with its Swarm, was equivalent to three or four Early-stage Mother Empresses. Its departure had practically gutted the Zerg forces besieging the southern side of the Federal Capital.

Therefore, this attack from multiple Mother Empresses placed an extraordinary amount of pressure on Lin Feng and his Salvation Army.

Just then, Ling Yi, who was fitting the Reproductive Armor Mecha with Flying Wing Membrane Wings, seemed to think of something and twisted the knife:

"Hmm, I almost forgot..."

"Samurai Hunter Zergs can fly, too. Remember our second major battle in the Wu City West District?"

"If the Hai City Mother Empress thought to equip Samurai Hunter Zergs with Flying Wing Membrane Wings, there’s no reason the Northern Alliance’s Mother Empresses wouldn’t do the same."

"Besides, you mentioned a commander in the Wu City army named Qin Hu, humanity’s first successful, combat-capable genetic experiment. If he’s been transferred to defend the Federal Capital, I’d guess there are quite a few Genetic Warriors in there by now."

"For the Northern Alliance to have besieged the Capital so successfully, they must have hatched a large number of Tier Two Samurai Hunter Zergs specifically to counter them."

"So, besides our powerful, long-range cannons, this is the only advantage we have left."

Lin Feng slowly raised his head, following Ling Yi’s gesture toward the Reproductive Armor Mecha, its calibration and optimization nearly complete.

’Although its Attribute data hasn’t changed much, the overall design is far superior. It also has a short-term Flying Ability, which will let it break into the Swarm more easily and assassinate the Zerg Race Mother Empress hidden behind her guards.’

’Using the Reproductive Armor Mecha to defend the front line would be a clear waste of its potential. Even the strongest Tier Two Peak Tiger Spine Zerg, or a Peak Samurai Hunter Zerg that had mastered Realm Power, would be nothing more than a one-hit kill for it.’

’Only a High-tier Mother Empress is worthy of being my opponent when I’m in Synchronized Overlap with the Reproductive Armor.’

’Based on my current Lv. 31 Attributes, stacked with the Reproductive Armor Mecha’s stats, my Life Value would hit 5,800, my Physique 4,900, and my Spiritual Attribute would break through to 6,300...’

’Other than my slightly lacking Life Value, my Physique and Spirit are enough to completely crush a Lv. 34 Tier Three Mid-stage Mother Empress.’

’If I were to return to the Jin City Base in the South right now, I could pilot this Reproductive Armor Mecha, charge into the Underground Hive of Hai City all by myself, and personally kill the Hai City Mother Empress hiding inside—the one that’s already reached the Tier Three Middle Stage!’

But now, he was facing the breakout battle at the Northern Capital—a situation several times more complex and dozens of times more dangerous. He was up against a joint offensive from the Mother Empress Alliance...

Lin Feng had to make a decision, and fast.

Should he stay behind to preserve the last hope of the Salvation Army, or should he fight fire with fire? He could proactively strike at the Mother Empresses themselves—relieving the siege on Yunxia Ridge by attacking the besiegers—and allow his forces there to retreat in one piece.

"The Tier Two Swarm is just too big, and the Salvation Army is undermanned. You should’ve brought more people. I’m guarding Taihu Lake and containing the Hai City Mother Empress’s expansion, so there was no need to leave so many Battle Groups back at Jin City Base."

Having finished optimizing the Reproductive Armor Mecha, Ling Yi sensed the turmoil in Lin Feng’s heart and continued.

"Stop hesitating. In less than two hours, the front line at Yunxia Ridge will be hit by the first Swarm."

"The first wave of the Swarm won’t be that strong; it’s just an initial probe from the Mother Empresses. Have the Battle Group members hold back a little. Don’t let them reveal their full strength too early..."

"...or they’ll be surrounded by the Tier Two Swarm in the next wave."

"As for you, staying on the front lines isn’t very useful. You’ll only be killing some Late-stage Tier Two Zergs, which gives you almost zero improvement to your own power. You’re better off heading straight into the heart of the Swarm to harass them and look for a chance to assassinate a Mother Empress..."

"With this Biological Mecha’s current burst power, combined with that Giant Chainsaw Sword, you could probably decapitate a Mother Empress before it even has time to react."

"Its Power exceeds five hundred tons, and its burst speed reaches twice the speed of sound—that’s six hundred eighty meters per second. With the added lift from the Membrane Wings, it can even break Mach 3."

"Even without using any weapons, the impact Damage from a collision at that speed is enough to seriously injure a Mother Empress. But I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re absolutely desperate."

"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. A collision like that would cause severe damage to the mecha’s frame as well. You’d risk structural collapse or even complete disintegration."

"Take the Chainsaw Sword and go on the hunt. The defenders at Yunxia Ridge will only be able to hold the line if those Mother Empresses feel their own lives are at stake."
