2118 How to Correctly Leave Your Mark on History
In fact, once Thanos lost the ground troops, Luke would be ready to ambush him at any time.
After Thanos and his fleet were destroyed, would the remaining tens of thousands of fighter ships still land on Earth and occupy it? If they didn’t surrender, they would be lucky if only 90% of them were killed.
That was what a real war was like.
In this battle, the superheroes and Thanos were the head honchos. The fleet provided support from the air, and the army on the ground was at the bottom of the totem pole.
Conversely, if Thanos used his fleet to attack Wakanda, Earth’s allied forces might react in one of three ways: First, attack in full force and fight to the death.
Second, with nothing else to worry about, they might immediately flee with the Infinity Stones.
The third way was the first and second combined.
Even if Earth was completely destroyed, Thanos would lose the Infinity Stones, which wasn’t his main goal at all.
The only thing he could do was slowly wear down Earth’s allied forces and prevent Luke from immediately taking the Stones away.
In the face of Luke’s “you fight, I fight” attitude and the cannon fodder fighter planes’ “you’re nothing if you’re slow to kill me” attitude, Thanos finally frowned.
The situation on the battlefield wasn’t good.
If this continued, there was at least an 80% chance that Earth’s allied forces would lose.
But who knew if Thanos would have enough ground and air troops left by then to capture the superheroes and obtain the Infinity Stones.
Pondering for a moment, he then swiftly gave the order for ten of the donut battleships to be deployed as reinforcements.
These donut battleships had released the triangular dropships before. At that moment, the remaining dropships were launched, and all the fighter planes were deployed.
Bright flames streaked through the air, and the battleships entered Earth’s atmosphere.
The hearts of all the core members of Earth’s allied forces jumped, and Mindy shouted excitedly in the chat, “They’re here, they’re here. Our credit points…”
Joseph, who was piloting two battleships on his own, decisively interrupted this unreliable pre-battle speech and switched it out with something more suitable.
Mindy calmed down and coughed. “Alright, listen to the commander’s instructions and do your best to be reimbursed fully for your damaged gear.”
The youngsters: …As if I believe you. Do you dare swear you weren’t about to say earlier that the credit points have come to our door?
It was definitely the Chosen One, that military advisor, who had given their big sister leader a new script. The members of Ursa Minor who knew Mindy and Joseph well secretly gave Joseph their ‘sincere blessings.’
Frank’s orders followed. “Ursa Minor A Team, attack immediately. B Team, remain on standby and be ready to take over at any time.”
Half of Ursa Minor was excited, and the other half wailed.
A Team was made up of the team members with more ordinary mental abilities.
Their control of the battleships could only be said to be average.
Mindy, Joseph, Carrie and the little turtles were all in B Team, and had good mental strength.
Splitting them into two teams and deploying them one after another might mislead Thanos.
In fact, the real trump cards were the veteran members of the Bat Squad.
They trained strictly and followed orders to the letter. They were very good at capturing fighter planes, and the younger Ursa Minor members couldn’t compare with them.
Even though their mental abilities couldn’t compare with Carrie and Joseph’s, they were still good.
In any case, the members of Ursa Minor A Team were still very excited.
If they really came out later, it would basically be too late for them.
At that time, it would be hard to earn credit points, and the scene would be ugly. There would be no sense of accomplishment at all.
Now, they at least had a chance.
Didn’t the modified Helicarriers rely on a lethal weapon like the vibration pulse cannon in their debut? They had something like that too.
Also, they were using genuine space battleships. The electromagnetic and high-energy plasma cannons were much more powerful than what the Helicarriers had.
As long as they acted in a timely and precise manner, there was a chance of knocking down an enemy ship on the first try.
The first person to complete this one-hit kill would be able to brag about it for the rest of their life.
They didn’t have to wait long. After a ten-second countdown, ten rings of sparks opened.
Ten battleships immediately charged out, followed by another five.
Given the difference in performance for both sides, a one-on-one fight was definitely impossible. Ursa Minor A Team, which had more people, naturally had to make up for it in numbers.
The portals were also opened in ingenious locations, at an angle to the descending donut ships.
The battleships flew out just above the donut ships. Without any hesitation, the Ursa Minor battleships, which had been charging up, instantly finished distributing targets. After receiving the order to attack, they opened fire.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
In one attack, six donut ships were heavily damaged, two of which had huge holes in them and started to fall apart.
They counterattacked very quickly. At the same time, a large group of fighter planes turned around and darted upward.
The second batch of five battleships from Ursa Minor also emerged at that moment and fired again without hesitation.
The four donut battleships that had already been severely damaged suffered even more.
They couldn’t withstand the attack this time, and were even worse off than the first two donut ships – three of them exploded in the air and basically disintegrated.
Not only did the last ship have a large hole, the rest of the ships that had been damaged in the first round of attacks also broke apart.
However, they counterattacked and blew up two Ursa Minor battleships on the spot.
The two Ursa Minor members who had just cheered were immediately slapped in the face.
Like they wanted, their wish to go down in history came true.
After all, it was pretty dramatic to be the first two Earthlings to be taken down by alien battleships right after blowing them up.
Their experience was proof of the saying, “The roof beam that is the first to pop out is the first to rot.”
While they had been lucky enough to succeed with their first attack, Thanos’s veteran ships didn’t care.
Whether it was due to luck or strength, the other side naturally couldn’t be allowed to remain on the battlefield.
In fact, the remaining four donut battleships launched a second round of attacks on two of the four Ursa Minor battleships that had damaged them.
Thankfully, compared with the counterattack from eight ships, the strength in a four-on-two clash was far lower.
The two Ursa Minor members temporarily escaped the fate of zero accomplishments before they were shot down. They did their best to pull the battleships back and give the androids some time to be saved.
