Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1046: Chapter 569, Right in Front of You

Matins, as a Battle Group Leader, is not the type who commands from the back. At crucial moments, he naturally leads by example, charging to the front lines, even undertaking the most arduous offensive tasks.

At present, he is one of the dozen or so Terminators transported into the enemy lines.

The sword light, glowing with a green hue, flickers amidst the enemy ranks.

No unit of the Sect of Mechanics could withstand even a single clash against him.

As a Battle Group Leader who had already reached the level of a Battle Group Champion, Matins had further enhanced his prowess after experiencing a life-and-death duel with the Rageflame Battalion Commander, Erso.

Moreover, not only is his personal skill level formidable, but his equipment has also been elevated to the extreme, utilizing almost all of the Alliance’s cutting-edge technologies.

He sidestepped and dodged a point-blank laser lance critical hit from a Dragoon, swiped his green-glow greatsword horizontally, severing the Dragoon’s long legs at the knees, and stomped down, killing the operator on the ground.

In the process, his phase sword moved incessantly, clashing several times with the chainsaw axe and power sword held in multiple arms by a Serpent Mecha Soldier, manufactured to high standards by the Alfonso Mechanical Cult alike, and quickly severed these weapons.

He also incidentally cut off the barrels of two guns that the opponent attempted to aim at his face, and then forcefully plunged his sword into the Serpent Mecha Soldier’s head.

The Serpent twitched a few times before going completely down without movement.

Without a doubt, Matins himself is the most efficient one among these Phoenix killing machines.

He possesses not only unparalleled strength and experience in the group, but also his phase sword, gleaming with a green light, plays an indispensable role.

Phase weapons, among many technologies capable of making melee weapons extracted by Gu Hang, are the most advanced. Its origin could possibly be outside human technology.

Since Gu Hang extracted such weapon technology, the Alliance has not succeeded in mass-producing such equipment; they can only depend on complete blackboxes for very slow production.

Furthermore, the energy and material required are unexpectedly high.

To date, the Alliance has only managed less than fifty pieces of phase weapons.

Most are equipped within the Phoenix Battle Group.

The effect it displays in the hands of a champion expert like Matins is amazing.

This isn’t the first time Matins has used this weapon, but it is his first time applying it in actual combat.

Its usability is beyond expectations.

With such a lethal weapon in hand, his killing intent becomes irrepressible.

Sword after sword, he slaughters every enemy before him.

When both armies are entangled in close combat melee, there is no need for command itself.

The best Matins can do is to showcase his strength as much as possible, killing off enemies quickly and abundantly.

By the time he killed the twenty-fourth enemy, the battle was over.

The elite of the Protection Army guarding the triple arch has been completely wiped out.

Even the enemies who tried to flee in the end were hunted and destroyed by the Phoenix.

Yet, the Phoenix paid a considerable price for this.

Among the two hundred warriors participating in battle, over twenty were casualties.

This number is not insignificant.

To date, no one can hope that the road ahead will be smooth sailing. Their whereabouts should have been discovered, and they will undoubtedly be blocked by the Protection Army assembling fully ahead.

They can hardly even choose a more stable combat strategy, otherwise, they might reduce casualties in a single battle, but the offensive pressure is evident; if there’s any delay in time, the number of opponents they’ll face later could increase several-fold, hindering the entire action plan and possibly leading to complete failure.

This forces the Phoenix to inevitably opt for a high-risk quick-assault strategy, ensuring subsequent casualties will undoubtedly occur.

But if they continue fighting at such a rate, with a loss of twenty men in one battle, how many battles will they fight ahead?

Can they endure such casualties?

How many will successfully reach the mission destination?

This is the shadow looming over Matins’s heart.

But things could also be seen from a positive angle.

First, these casualties of over twenty for the Phoenix are not all deaths, and not all lost action ability either.

The Interstellar Warriors’ ability to withstand damage is far superior to that of mortals.

The same deep chest or abdominal puncture wounds, or even important organ punctures, would certainly be lethal to normal mortals. Even if not immediately fatal, they require medical intervention.

But for Interstellar Warriors, not only do they not lose action capability, but following simple treatment by a Pharmacist, they can catch up with the unit and continue to fight, with only slight combat power compromises.

Such individuals account for half of the casualty ratio.

The remaining half, about ten, are genuine losses. Six dead, five severely injured and unable to move.

However, even with such a casualty rate, it’s uncertain how things will unfold towards the end.

For the severely wounded, neither the Alliance nor Phoenix has the habit of executing severely injured teammates.

To alleviate pain and reduce the burden on the team, especially in such an independent assault operation by Phoenix, they should not be carrying dead weight.

Yet they still brought them along.

At least, Matins judged that the situation hasn’t deteriorated to that extent.

Among their ranks, a Pharmacist can swiftly address and stabilize injuries; there’s equipment for dragging and carrying severely injured immobilized personnel. A small team is arranged specifically for this task.

The facts seemed to corroborate Matins’s judgment.

The Protection Army that had just defended the triple arch was already among their elite. Whether it’s the smallest Deadslave Mecha Soldier or the most expensive Serpent Mecha Soldier, numbers overall are still limited.

Though the path of Phoenix has been discovered, and enemies begin appearing continuously to block them, those mobilized in haste can only come from the nearest, not the strongest.

Even Phoenix’s assault speed greatly exceeded expectations.

Many temporarily dispatched garrison forces couldn’t even construct positions in time, often directly confronting Phoenix assaults in narrow corridors or spacious compartments.

No cover, no vehicles, lacking heavy firepower… Such defense is tantamount to being non-existent for Interstellar Warriors.

They move smoothly like level ground, using multiple Terminator Squads as penetrating arrowheads, piercing through the enemy lines.

Matins always fights on the front line; the strength he demonstrates is one of the biggest reasons Phoenix can advance unwaveringly.

The number of various Protection Army elites slain by Matins’s phase sword is countless.

Leading the team, they have successfully fought their way to the mission target destination.

The Zijder chamber is right in front!
