Capítulo 1210: Chapter 214: The Sole Survivor of the New Apollo Team
Brilliant sparks silently blood in front of him, embellishing the land beneath the starry sky.
The insect swarm was blasted apart, their screeches filling the air.
At this mont, all the Desert Worms seed to have received so command and began collectively retreating backward.
Clearly, they planned to retreat.
Seeing this scene, Sol in the cha did not pursue.
Instead, he launched another round of missiles in that direction, leaving behind so corpses.
It’s not that he didn’t want to pursue.
Firstly, he needed to rescue people, which made pursuing inconvenient.
Secondly, even if he chased after them, he couldn’t kill many insects.
Despite the insects looking miserable under his barrage, the actual casualties were quite limited.
The Desert Worms’ robust constitution allowed them to resist high temperatures and significant impact damage.
As long as they weren’t directly hit by the explosion’s center, most wouldn’t die imdiately.
Moreover, their recovery ability was astonishing, returning to vigor in no ti.
The entire insect swarm might evolve chanisms to adapt to artillery attacks by the next encounter.
The more injured insects the swarm had, the faster this evolution occurred.
Therefore, unless confident in annihilating the entire enemy force, Sol was unwilling to strike, as it would only accelerate the insects’ evolution.
This is one reason why the Desert Worm army is so terrifying.
The vast numbers are only part of it; truly frightening is their adaptability.
“Filthy creatures… One day I’ll kill you all…”
Sol looked toward the retreating swarm, a look of regret on his face.
Being from Guleng Star, he held a natural hatred toward these alien species invading others’ hos, linked to his own holand’s experiences.
However, Sol also knew he currently lacked the strength to eliminate those creatures.
The Desert Worms dared not approach due to fear, not of his Guardian-class cha.
But of the owner of that hundred-ter-long spear — the Holy Light Dragon Rider, Xing Han.
As one of the Star Alliance’s top combat forces, Xing Han also took charge of clearing operations on the Moon, controlling the insect swarm’s numbers.
Periodically, Xing Han conducted sweeping operations on the insect swarm here.
Even if unable to completely eliminate every insect, it effectively controlled their numbers.
Preventing them from forming large populations, avoiding crises like before.
Over ti, the insects rembered the aura of the one who hunted their companions everywhere.
Once near this long spear, they instinctively stopped.
Sol longed for such power.
Though he had beco a mber of the Star Alliance, an Awakener himself.
Yet his strength was far from that of the other.
Though the cha looked mighty.
Ultimately, it was just an ordinary machine without Dark Energy protection.
Encountering flying units of the Insect Race or facing opponents with Dark Energy-powered ranged attacks.
Even the Fallen Alloy Armor, sturdy as it was, beca useless, offering no protection.
Only he, the pilot, could generate a Dark Energy Shield to help withstand so attacks.
But facing the overwhelming insect swarm, it couldn’t last long either.
Ultimately, it was due to insufficient personal strength.
Before encountering Dark Energy, Sol once thought advanced civilization combat involved longer range and larger explosions or so higher-level technical interference and intrusion.
But now, after joining the Star Alliance for a while, he realized.
Higher-level civilization strength isn’t necessarily solely about firepower and striking capabilities.
This was a qualitative change brought by the attack nature.
Without mastering Dark Energy manipulation, no matter how tough the alloy, it couldn’t stop even a small Dark Energy attack.
Bending down, carefully placing the astronaut in his palm, Sol piloted the Guardian-class cha toward the distant Moon Base.
His movents were smooth, without the sluggishness usually associated with operating large machinery.
Nurous sensor units in the cha connected with his movents and consciousness, easily achieving his every fine control without feeling cumberso.
The Guardian-class cha flew swiftly, crossing tens of kiloters in an instant, entering the Star Alliance’s lunar branch base.
Within the chaotic magnetic field ford by the shield here, a corresponding Dark Energy Core must be installed to ensure the cha isn’t affected by the magnetic field, allowing normal operation.
This Dark Energy Core is essentially a Spirit Stone engraved with special formations.
It was created by the Star Alliance’s “Great Creator” Lin Sisi, enabling chanical units to operate in certain chaotic magnetic field areas.
But its effect is limited, currently only working within the Star Alliance Shield and the Rebirth Island Gate of Hell range.
Areas covered by Fog Heart and Crimson Day still haven’t benefited from it yet.
On the ground, after receiving Sol’s transmitted information, dical Departnt staff were already on standby.
Once the Guardian-class cha returned, they took the Arican astronaut from its palm for ergency treatnt.
