Volume 3: Rise of the God of War Chapter 600: The Defender's Attack
"Huh? What's going on?" Li Jiu frowned and asked the driver in a deep voice, and immediately walked to the window and looked out.
At the same time, the team members' faces changed drastically and they hurried to the windows beside them to see what was happening outside.
"Report to the Colonel, there is a small-scale battle ahead!" A moment later, the pilot's voice immediately sounded in the cabin, reporting to Li Jiu.
"A battle?!" Li Jiu was secretly shocked.
He knew that in this world, as long as a battle could be called a battle, even if it was the smallest scale, the number of troops deployed by both sides would definitely exceed one million!
If Li Jiu encountered this situation on one of the four frontal battlefields, he would not find it strange.
After all, near the city of Egil that they had just left, the number of troops deployed by the 8th Legion Base and the Defender Legion exceeded tens of millions!
However, we are now at the edge of the alliance!
You know, with the changes in the war situation over the years, although the Alliance’s military strength is slightly weaker than that of the Defender Empire, it can at least compete with the other side!
Therefore, except for the first year when the war started, large-scale armies of the defenders were almost never seen on the edge of the alliance's territory, because once the defenders' large forces were found to dare to approach the edge of the alliance's territory, the alliance would immediately gather its forces to completely destroy them!
But what is happening now?
How come there was another war on the edge of the alliance where there hasn't been a large-scale battle for a long time?
How dare those defender troops approach the Alliance border?
At this moment, not only Li Jiu, but also the team members had doubts.
Through the cabin window, Li Jiu and his team members finally saw the situation outside.
In the sky about ten miles ahead, one could see flames produced by explosions, as well as fighter planes occasionally flying through the clouds. Even on the ground, beams of light of various colors were shot into the air from time to time.
Obviously, a battle was indeed going on in the place ahead.
And now, everyone is very close to the edge of the battlefield.
"Lieutenant Colonel, the airspace ahead is very unsafe. We must change our route and take a detour back to the Alliance." At this time, the pilot's voice sounded again in the cabin.
"Okay, it's up to you." Li Jiu nodded solemnly.
I’m about to return to the alliance, and I don’t want to be involved in a meaningless battle at this time.
Therefore, it is better to take a longer detour to avoid this battlefield.
Afterwards, after looking at the battlefield in the distance, everyone withdrew their gaze and sat down again.
At this moment, there was no relaxed expression on anyone's face; everyone looked serious.
At the same time, after reporting to Li Jiu, the pilot immediately changed the plane's route and avoided the battlefield ahead far away.
"Do you know what's going on?" After sitting down, Li Jiu pondered for a moment, and suddenly looked up at another place in the cabin where several soldiers in military uniforms were sitting.
This plane was returning to the Alliance to transport supplies to the 8th Legion base, so there were several soldiers in the cabin.
However, because those people were not familiar with Li Jiu and his friends, they sat on the other side of the cabin.
Li Jiu discovered that just when everyone heard the explosion, the soldiers reacted surprisingly calmly, as if they did not think it was strange to encounter a battle here.
Therefore, Li Jiu guessed that those people might know something that he and his teammates were not aware of.
"Hey, Lieutenant Colonel, are you talking about the battle ahead?" One of the soldiers, with a cigarette in his mouth, said with a disapproving smile .
Since the soldiers of the army and the mercenaries belong to two different systems, even though the soldier was only a small second lieutenant, he did not feel nervous when talking to Li Jiu, a lieutenant colonel. He spoke as casually as if he was talking to an ordinary person.
"Yes, that's right." Li Jiu nodded.
"Hey, what's so surprising about that?" The lieutenant took out a cigarette, shook his head and smiled, "Since half a month ago, the defenders have gone crazy and suddenly started to frantically attack the alliance's territory."
"Attack the alliance's territory?!"
Hearing the soldier's words, Li Jiu and his team members were all shocked.
Because, as far as they knew, except for the first year of the war, the defenders had never attacked the alliance's territory since then!
Especially after the five major legions of the alliance formed a certain combat effectiveness and began to leave the alliance territory and fight with the defenders in the outside world, the people in the defender camp were already too busy to deal with the attacks of the five major legions, let alone attack the alliance base camp.
Of course, this is not because the Defender Empire does not dare to attack the alliance's territory, but because of the existence of the super-intelligence "Xingtian", it supports an extremely huge energy shield to protect the entire alliance's territory. Therefore, even if the defenders come to attack, if they cannot break through the energy shield of "Xingtian", it will be futile.
Therefore, over the years, the Defender Empire has been frantically mining deep resources around the world to provide energy for their super-intelligent "God" so that the terrifying war machine has enough energy reserves to break through the energy shield of "Xingtian".
The Alliance, of course, would not sit idly by and watch the other side's conspiracy succeed, so it sent out four legions to compete with the Defender camp for various energy sources around the world. On the one hand, it could prevent the enemy's conspiracy from succeeding, and on the other hand, the various energy sources mined by the four legions could provide energy for "Xingtian", strengthen the Alliance's energy shield, and even be used to build the Alliance and provide various daily necessities for the citizens of the Alliance.
"Can the defenders break through the alliance's energy shield now?" After being stunned for a moment, Bacchus looked at the lieutenant soldier and asked anxiously.
“Haha, how is that possible!” The lieutenant soldier immediately shook his head and laughed, “If they could break through our energy shield, they wouldn’t be competing with us for resources on the front battlefields now. Instead, they would directly gather all their forces and attack the alliance territory immediately.”
"Since they can't break through our energy shield, why are they besieging the Alliance territory again?" Scar frowned, puzzled. As a veteran, he had personally experienced the period when the defenders besieged the Alliance territory, and he still felt a palpitation when he thought of that tragic battle.
