Chapter 284 Corrupted Wasps and Action

In the semi-enclosed transport cabin, the soldiers sat on the seats embedded in the bulkheads on both sides to prepare for the upcoming offensive plan. When entering the combat state, these seats can be quickly flipped up and fixed on the bulkhead to avoid interfering with the soldiers' shooting and movement.

Some soldiers stood in the open shooting windows to observe the external environment: a vast forest was divided by several rivers, and the limit of the line of sight was a huge mountain range with gray and green intertwined on the sky island. From time to time, cloud-dwelling creatures rose from the mountains and forests and rose into higher clouds.

Sky Island No. 3 not only has an inverted mountain range, but also a real mountain range.

There are no mountains in the territory, but continuous hills, and the hills always maintain thriving green fields. After the hunting team cleared the monster camps several times, there were no dangerous creatures within a radius of 50 kilometers in the territory, and it was in a relatively safe safety zone.

This was also the first time that the people in the living territory saw the existence of the mountain range, which was majestic and magnificent, and the peak was swallowed by the clouds.

The airships in the airport often used it as a pointer for their actions, and began to use wood to build special wooden pointers up to 30 meters high at various marking points in the mountain range.

No one named it, and the soldiers were used to calling it the Great Mountain Range.

This endless mountain range almost divided the Sky Island in half.

Countless spirits live here.

The exploration of the mountain range that should have been carried out was also suspended due to the high risk, and the airport troops could not spare so many people to escort Aina to complete the exploration.

The airship was still moving slowly, so slowly that even if you opened the shooting window inside the ship, you might not be able to feel the wind outside the window.

A speed of 4,000 meters per hour was not fast, but compared to the 2,000 meters per hour in the forest, it was almost doubled.

Considering that marching in the forest could still be dangerous, the advantage of taking an airship almost crushed land operations. The only advantage was that land operations had much higher concealment than airships.

However, the remaining creatures on the island had become accustomed to these steel creations that occasionally passed through the forest, and would no longer attack them like they did at the beginning... There was no special turret on the top of the airship, and it would be very annoying if such a thing always flew up and hit the steel.

Four airships carry 20 to 10 light infantrymen equipped with new rifles, a total of seven platoons of soldiers. These light infantrymen equipped with new rifles will be the absolute main force in the fleet's land battles. There are also 1,000 hunting spiders that fill the cargo hold. The newly added pods of the airships are for them.

These things don't know what death is, and the territory can safely drag them to die without considering psychological problems. Ji Lin forced every soldier to rest for a week after being recalled to reduce the psychological impact of death.

Not everyone can have psychological toughness V.

When the ground staff rushed them on board, they found that the cargo hold was overweight, so they specially picked out a few guys who were fatter than other scout hunting spiders.

Soldiers can't do anything except sit in the airship and chat to relieve their stress, or lean back and close their eyes to recall the combat skills they learned during training.

Entertainment activities are prohibited during the mission.

After all, the speed of the airship is too slow. It takes three hours to move a distance of 12 kilometers, and five hours to move 20 kilometers. The airship engine cannot provide directional thrust very well, and other engines that provide power must be introduced to improve it.

The bored soldiers counted the neatly arranged paper shell fixed bullets in their bullet bags one by one, and put them in their hands to play. Soldiers use bullet bags to quickly take out bullets from them and reload them once, which greatly improves the reloading speed of soldiers using new rifles.

Yu Jilin did not decide on the name of the new rifle, and the soldiers could also call it a new rifle.

"The goal of this mission is to clean up the corrupted wasps."

Inside the command ship, the major issued a battle order to the map spread out in the cab, and seven platoon-level officers were crowded in the cab.

The map is not big, it just depicts the terrain near the nest of wild corrupted wasps. An ordinary plain near the mountain was cleared by the wasps, and the nest was built relying on the natural support structure of the mountain. The nearby area was marked with a large number of tree demons, and these tree demons who can use magic are also extremely difficult for soldiers.

"I suspect that our recent actions left too many animal debris, which made these wasps find a large source of food here, so they built nests here."

"Our reconnaissance troops have confirmed the location of these wasps' nests through early reconnaissance."

They will cut trees with saw teeth, crush them and mix them with their own secretions to build hexagonal nests. At the same time, they will clear the trees near the nest to prevent other animals from invading.

This makes it easier for the airport troops to deploy troops, without having to use some violent means to clear the landing field.

"If they don't engage us, we will directly use explosive packs to destroy their nests to complete the task of clearing the target. The corrupted wasps that have lost their nests will not affect us in the short term, and we will destroy their main nests at that time."

The major raised his head and glanced at the officers nearby, and saw the look of understanding on the faces of the officers at the platoon level.

"Anything else that needs to be confirmed?"

"What if the tree demons in the nearby area are also alarmed?"

An officer stretched out his hand to ask, confirming the distance between the corrupted wasps and the tree demons on the map.

The camp of the corrupted wasps is indeed too close to the nearby tree demons.

"Don't worry, I'll apply to the territory to equip each team with one kilogram of explosives for this operation."

Enough to solve the problem.

The major cleared his throat.

"Let's clear it together. The seven platoons of soldiers are called in this time to solve other problems that may exist."

If the territory had not run out of oil, Ji Lin would have already filled the airship troops with incendiary bombs to fight against those local abnormalities hidden in the woods - this is why the sub-human country has not been able to completely control a sky island in several years.

But he has no shortage of explosives, he has extremely cheap high-performance explosives.

The major turned his eyes back to the window, in front of the increasingly large mountain range, he could already see some unnatural creations gradually appearing on the surface in the distance. Some brown block nests began to grow along the mountain range, and at the bottom of these nests were placed a large number of animal corpses.

In the woods not far from a flat land, there was a darker green forest, which was the residence of the tree demon.

They had already observed the target they needed to attack at a visual distance.

"All ships approached and prepared to dock, and all officers returned to their platoon units and prepared them for battle."

[Toxic Attack: The stinger of the Corrupted Wasp is highly toxic, reducing all attributes of animal units by 10%-30%, and can be lethal. Be careful, the stinger on its tail is not a toy! 】

【Cluster tactics: Corrupted wasps will increase their attributes by 10%-30% when their number is greater than the enemy's, and increase their hit rate by 15% when fighting against large units. You don't want to see a group of wasps as big as a person rushing towards you...】

【Nest construction: Corrupted wasps will build their nests in a fixed place and transform the place into a corrupt swamp suitable for their survival. A place to store food and feed corrupted wasps, and you may even find their eggs in it. 】

【Deadly wasps that appear after absorbing magic elements. They like to live in swamp areas and build nests in swamp areas. These highly toxic wasps are not as gentle as other wasps. When they detect food nearby, they will rush there quickly and build their own nests. 】

【Fortunately, their body structure is not easy to maneuver quickly after enlargement. 】
