Chapter 628
2017-09-12
The price of one hellfire incendiary bomb is 100,000 star coins.
The price of a Hellcat Longbow Archer Missile is 200,000 star coins.
The price of a bird of paradise air-to-ground photon bomb is a full one million star coins.
A round of AH’s indiscriminate bombing will consume eight Birds of Paradise photon bombs.
In other words, one bombing will consume 8 million star coins.
This does not count the cost of the launch port warm-up charge.
If all the damages are counted, one round of Bird of Paradise photon bomb will consume about 10 million star coins.
And such bombing will last at least twenty rounds in total.
After the entire revenge battle, the consumption of ammunition alone is as high as 200 million star coins!
This is certainly not something that the average army can afford!
This is also the reason why the Northern Frontier Army obviously has a two-star battle starship, but it is useless in a hurry!
If you have a starship in the air, but can’t afford the ammunition, then the starship is no different from a toy!
Since ancient times, all wars, in the final analysis, are still fighting for the economy.
If the economy is not strong, the weapons and equipment will not be improved.
If weapons and equipment are not improved, soldiers’ mortality in battle will increase.
Of course, in war, the economy is not the most critical factor.
The real key factor in war is people.
But the economy is absolutely cannot be ignored.
The Northern Frontier Army has been at the bottom of the major military branches for so many years. In fact, to put it bluntly, the economy is not good.
Other local and imperial armies have their own factories, mines, and greenhouse plantations.
The Northern Frontier Army has only a small mine that is about to close down.
The money you spend on your hair is at most just fixed army salaries, and simply cannot help the Northern Frontier Army to upgrade training equipment and combat equipment.
Therefore, if you want to develop the North, the most important thing you need to do is economic independence.
In this way, the Northern Frontier Army can be willing to consume 200 million star coins of arms in one breath!
Only in the war can maintain absolute firepower suppression advantage!
Of course, money is simply not a thing for the Iron Banner black market.
The most important thing is to win the war without casualties.
After the first round bombing, the swarm has become a mess.
They didn’t seem to expect such violent strikes.
The officers of the Legion in the Forest of Fairy Blossoms didn’t think so either.
The reports of the battlefield poured into the temporary command post in Eternal Blossom Forest like snowflakes.
Each report, stared wide-eyed to the horror of Legion’s officers.
“My God!”
“Chen Xing can actually use a starship as powerful as the Iron Banner!”
“One round of bombing, it blew up The main force of the worm tide is one-twentieth of Legion’s strength!”
“If we continue to bomb like this, and then cooperate with ground troops to clear it up, we might…really turn defeat into victory!”
“Maybe where it is! It’s almost certain!”
Several editor Captains of the main station immediately geared up, and stood up one after another to ask the commander-in-chief Li Zhengye for his life.
“Lord Commander! Please send our Sequoia formation to fight!”
“Lord Commander! Our Cuibai formation also requests to fight!”
The other editor Captains were somewhat hesitant.
Li Zhengye looked around, remembered the expressions of everyone present in his mind, and then pressed his palm, motioning for Captain, who invited the battle, to sit down.
“We are no longer in control of the rhythm of this battle of revenge.”
“Our mission is to wait for Chen Xing’s orders and fight together.”
“But! You are the commander-in-chief!”
Someone said unconvinced: “As long as you give an order, Chen Xing has to obey you obediently, otherwise, he will be disobedient. Disrespectful!”
Li Zhengye laughed, “I am the commander-in-chief, but I am not a stupid commander-in-chief. Every one of you sitting here, feel your conscience, this war, if It’s up to you to fight, how sure are you that you can win?”
The high-level officers present all bowed their heads and dared not respond.
Li Zhengye continued: “Yes, none of you dare to say that you will win. Even if some of you are not afraid of death, and some of you really want to fight to the death to defend your homeland, there is no guarantee that you will be able to use it. My own death also brings victory.”
“But Chen Xing can do it.”
“The premise is that we must follow Chen Xing’s rhythm and cooperate with his actions .”
“Otherwise, victory will be farther away from us.”
“Do you understand?”
The high level of Legion in Fairview Forest The officers nodded, “I understand.”
Li Zhengye gave a serious order: “Communications officer, issue a new commander-in-chief order for me – Hellfire Legion, Splendid Forest Legion, Northland Extreme Cold Legion and Xiquan Legion are all on standby! Do not act without authorization.”
“Yes!”
The former Sequoia formation soldier who had just been promoted to corporal communications officer immediately answered loudly, and then The order was passed on.
Sure enough, under the heavy bombardment of the Iron Banner, the four Legions, the main force of the insect tide in Sifengling, were obviously overwhelmed.
The insect swarm Legion, which was attacking other Legion territories in the north, stopped the attack, began to shrink its front, and obviously moved to the Four Winds to support.
They wanted to keep their superior force until Chen Xing’s ground troops arrived.
The intelligent AI Wan’er on the Iron Banner immediately noticed this.
“Master, the fish outside is hooked.”
“Well, very good.”
Chen Xing walked calmly in the violent photon shock wave , responded with a sneer: “Notify Commander Li Zhengye that all Legions are on fire, forming an encirclement, and accelerating the swarm to oppress Sifengling!”
“Yes! Master.”
“Yes! Master.”

After Wan’er interrupted her brainwave communication, she immediately issued a counter-offensive signal to Commander-in-Chief Li Zhengye.
Li Zhengye made a decisive decision: “All counterattack!”
Splendid Forest Legion, Northland Extreme Cold Legion, and Xiquan Legion immediately regained their energy and pursued the retreating insect swarm with all their strength.
They have all been suppressed by the insect swarm for too long, and they have lost too many brothers in arms, and they have long been holding back their revenge!
The Hellfire Legion is the only one that will destroy all the nearby insect swarm Legions quickly, and they naturally don’t need to counterattack.
However, for every Hellfire soldier, there is still a bloody bill to settle with the Insect Race!
The blood of the ghost hand formation soldiers can’t be shed in vain!
The Hellfire Legion crossed its own defense area majestically, entered the Splendid Forest defense area directly, and attacked the remaining insects outside the Four Winds Mausoleum!
For a time, the Northern Frontier Army, which was about to be defeated, seemed to be reborn from the ashes, and turned into a completely different army!
This is absolutely unexpected!
And what makes the swarm even more unexpected is still to come!
The tenth round of the Birds of Paradise photon bomb has blown up, and the Valley of the Four Winds has been blown up in half!
A vigorous silhouette comes through the billowing smoke!
