Him and their stars

Within the Unity Fortress, the flames of war are still burning within the fortress. The Earth's army that first took the initiative to launch an attack on the Empire was the Varangian Division and the Hell Paratrooper Division that had just returned from the victory in Eunomia. They had just won a victory and had successfully completed the disenchantment of the Empire, and it was a time of great morale.

Isn’t it just a mere empire? It’s not like I haven’t been beaten before! On the prairie of Eunomia, we are hanging and beating!

Because of this mentality, the aggressive Earthlings actually launched a wave of attacks like a storm and fire.

The two battalions of the Hell Parachute Division, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Winter, surrounded and surrounded almost an entire regiment of Imperial troops. Although this is a "Royal Association Army" regiment composed almost entirely of Angmans and Embu people, after all, it is a minority encircling and suppressing the majority, and it can also be regarded as a brilliant victory. More importantly, there was a hole in the empire's defenses.

As a result, the two regiments of the Varangian Division responsible for the main attack began a hand-to-hand charge, led by the most heroic officer in the division, Colonel Moshav. They launched an unknown "Ula" charge, and after taking a considerable amount of casualties, they killed more than three times as many enemy troops as their own dead, and then pushed them to the vicinity of the central station.

If it weren't for the soldiers of the "Dire Wolf Regiment" who had just been honored by King Solei and fought back desperately, the entire defense line might have collapsed.

...However, this is actually the limit.

This fortress is indeed very large, and its internal space is completely enough to build a giant space city that can accommodate 20 to 30 million people. However, if you look at it as a battlefield, those bright and spacious areas can add an entire cabin of Tongtianyuan, and those tracks that are enough to lift and lower the 787 seem tortuous.

For the hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides inside the fortress, there is always a lack of space for maneuvering, and the combat effects are naturally indescribable.

Not to mention anything else, it is this central station. If it were in peacetime, this huge central station would definitely become the most prosperous cabin in the fortress, right? Around it, there will definitely be crowded shopping malls, bustling pedestrian streets and snack streets, and of course there will also be sexy and ambiguous custom streets.

But now, the month-long tug-of-war has destroyed almost all the facilities in this cabin. The tracks and control tower of the central station have also collapsed and are mixed in with everything, making it impossible to distinguish one from another. It is estimated that even with the infrastructure technology of this era, it will take more than half a year to rebuild.

However, neither party has control over this place.

Having said that, hundreds of thousands of troops fought fiercely around a station and dropped 10,000 corpses for a month. It is considered to be a relatively explosive event in the history of war.

The kind that explodes ugly.

It is probably for this reason that Yang Xiyi has always been dissatisfied with the war here.

At this time, he was no longer at his headquarters, but on the star port tower controlled by his own side. He was holding a cup of ultra-thick black tea without brandy and overlooking the actual military dispatch.

At this moment, all the warships controlled by the fleet stationed in the fortress - there are only about 20 big cats and kittens in total - have all set sail and are on standby in orbit outside the fortress.

Their mission is to cover the star port with the cooperation of the fortress cannon. Of course, enough space can also be made for the port platform.

Probably because of the failure of the two-sided encirclement operation some time ago, the imperial army lost troops and generals, so it has completely given up its plan to attack the port from the outside. Their response to the actions of the Earth Fleet was also very steady. The main force of the fleet remained motionless, while some warships continued to patrol the galaxy step by step.

Of course, it was impossible for the community fleet to rashly attack the enemy fleet whose combat power was far superior to its own. It just formed a formation outside the star port.

As for the star port, two huge predator motherships, PL02 and PL03, which are now Earth Motherships, are parked quietly on the platform. That majestic figure was larger than the Independence Street Dreadnought, occupying nearly half of the platform.

At this time, more than 200,000 people were flowing into the star port from several exits of the fortress, and boarded the giant ship in an orderly manner.

Most of them are soldiers, and only a small number are civilians. Most of them are representatives of various chambers of commerce and preliminary inspection personnel from the Milky Way mainland in the past six months.

Before the war broke out, the whole world believed that the Dawn Star Territory must be the most suitable place for investment. As a result, various chambers of commerce from all over the galaxy gathered in the Unity Fortress, and some of the fast-moving ones even had their offices renovated.

I have to say that the Mugubai Treaty of "peace for a generation" really fooled many people. It has to be said that the Galactic Empire is very good at using their reputation to carry out strategic deception. It is probably the leaders of the Tirero people who firmly believe that as long as they can achieve actual victory, the truth can be written by them, and whitewashing history is the easiest thing.

But now, the initial investment of these companies has been in vain, and they really can't do anything except scolding the empire for being the master of the universe in terms of not being a human being. We can only evacuate together under the serious advice of the community army.

Of course, there are some people who are unwilling to evacuate, and they are all representatives of neutral countries. They felt that even if the community could no longer hold on and the fortress fell into the hands of the empire, would people from neutral countries not be allowed to do small business? There should be no such truth in the world.

However, under the persuasion of the Earth soldiers, they could only get on the ship.

At this time, whether these civilians who were innocently involved in the conflict would hate the empire that started the war more, or the community that forced them to "leave their homes" is an interesting question worthy of studying the philosophy of human nature. .

"All the 67,000 civilians in the fortress have boarded the ship." Akinayama Hachiman reported to Yang Xiyi: "Now the wounded and technical soldiers are starting to board the ship."

"There's nothing wrong with the timetable, right?"

"No problem, it's even faster than expected."

Yang Xiyi breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had let go of a heavy psychological burden, and his energy suddenly became brighter.

"You know, the tens of thousands of civilians in the fortress are the biggest obstacle to our Plan D."

"This is moral baggage, sir." Akinayama Hachiman pushed up his glasses.

"You can call me hypocritical, but we senior officers are, after all, a group of legal mass murderers. Adding moral baggage to ourselves is the best way to prevent ourselves from becoming monsters."

Mihir Kent next to him should agree with this opinion: "Fortunately, the empire has already sent away the civilians in the areas under their control."

"Yes, this is the first time I am so grateful. The empire has an absolute fleet advantage." Yang Xiyi took a sip of strong black tea, seemed to have regained some energy, and asked again: "So, what about inside the fortress? "

"The Imperial Army has begun to counterattack. Lieutenant Colonel Winter's troops have separated from their original positions and repositioned their defense lines at the G77 channel. They gave the chasing enemy a head-on blow and completely repelled them. Now, the Hell Parachute Division's The troops have withdrawn to the safe blue zone and are installing 'obstacles' with the cooperation of the engineering troops." Kent spelled out the word "obstacles" very clearly.

"I remember Lieutenant Colonel Winter as..."

"Yes, the battalion commander of the assault battalion of the Hell Parachute Division and the chief of staff operations participated in the Xinyumen Incident that year. Boss Yu recommended him to Lieutenant General Seyo and Major General Orwell. ” Hachiman added.

Yang Xiyi showed a happy smile, but said sadly: "So that's it. The subtle influence on the community's army has begun a long time ago."

"What do you mean?" Michel Kent laughed.

"Of course it refers to their increasingly sophisticated and flexible tactical qualities, otherwise what do you think they are?" Yang Xiyi asked.

Next to him, Akinayama Hachiman also pushed up his glasses and whispered: "I am the second author of the theory of defensive omnipotence..."

"Yes, so thank you for your subtle influence on the community army." Yang Xiyi smiled: "If we all die here now, Lieutenant Colonel Akinayama, your status in history will definitely be higher than mine."

After telling too many hell jokes, everyone can take it lightly, and now Kent and Akinayama's emotions are very stable. Kent even continued to tell the latest information in a serious manner: "Over there at the central station, Colonel Moshav's troops encountered a counterattack by the empire's elite armored grenadiers. This time the enemy was very smart and invested a lot of troops, and they kept holding on. The troops behind them are obviously well prepared. It can be seen that the Imperial Army is tired of this long tug of war. It should be that they want to seize the ecological garden in Area A6 as a bridgehead for a comprehensive attack."

"Well, we really can't treat our enemies as fools. However, Mihir, if you can report here so calmly, the crisis must have been resolved, right?"

"I asked Colonel Sakob to lead the grenadiers directly under the headquarters and set up a defense line in the ecological garden." Mihir said

Just when Yang Xiyi wanted to praise him, the latter showed a lingering fear: "However, even so, he was almost defeated by the Panzer Grenadier. If it were not for the sudden collapse of the garden dome, Colonel Sakob and Moshav The colonel’s troops may be trapped there. They said they were mentally prepared to die in battle at that time.”

"The dome in the ecological garden is the original material of the fortress. The engineers said that it will be difficult to destroy unless it is directly bombarded by a main gun above the battle cruiser level."

Mihir nodded: "So it was some kind of structural damage caused by the natural disaster at the site. The transparent domes themselves did not break, but the structures supporting them fell down."

"Natural disaster?" Yang Xiyi made a meaningful voice. Before he finished speaking, the floor beneath his feet began to tremble violently.

"There's an earthquake." Hachiman pushed up his glasses and said with a smooth stick.

"No, it's an illusion. It's all an illusion. How can there be an earthquake in the space fortress?" Yang Xiyi replied with the same smooth pronunciation: "Let everyone seize the time and board the ship quickly. Moshav and Sakob The troops were on standby and asked them to send the wounded soldiers over first."

The sound was like an earthquake, rolling from the E area of ​​the fortress to the H area, as if the source of the earthquake was still moving forward while venting its power unscrupulously.

All the imperial soldiers who caught all this began to retreat tremblingly.

They know that it is a battlefield that belongs to the "gods" that humble mortals like them cannot do at all.

Within the fortress, the collapsed passages and destroyed structures were completely destroyed. In the damaged passages, the battle between the most powerful psykers in the star field has entered a fierce stage.

A huge force suddenly burst out from Natalia Elenko's body, causing her body to suddenly rush forward. The invisible flames drew an almost unrecognizable shadow in the darkness, but it was enough to make The outer armor of the battleship melted due to the high temperature, and it also caught fire in the passage.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding metal walls began to melt like candles after coming into contact with the high temperature that was difficult to look at. Sensing devices triggered by high temperatures almost always emit a prompt and are instantly evaporated into gas.

What followed was the structural collapse of the passages and compartments. The battlefield between the three of them will naturally shift with this environmental change. They didn't even change their movements. For them, it seems that they are stepping on a solid floor, falling debris, or air, and it does not affect them.

According to common sense, since such an abnormally terrifying high temperature begins to melt the alloy and ignite the air, it should have already formed a gleam that cannot be seen directly by the naked eye.

However, when King Soren and Count Baorre stepped into the battlefield, the darkness that completely deprived them of their vision enveloped them at the same moment. Whether it was the sword in the hands of the Elector Emperor or Count Baorre's battle ax, the spiritual light flowing on the psychic weapon, and even the halo on the atomic light spear in their left hand, had been submerged in the endless shadows. middle.

At this point, the two could only close their eyes and use their spiritual sense and perception to distinguish each other's behavior.

Anyone who hesitates in the senses will definitely be hit by a hot but invisible attack like a storm.

No, in fact, they've been hit. Although it is just for brilliance, in fact, such an abnormally high temperature is enough to cause structural damage to the heraldry machine even if it is infiltrated with zero elements, let alone a mortal body.

However, the moment he stepped into the battlefield, King Solain gave himself and Count Baorre a layer of "dragon scale armor." They trust their psychic skills more than their heraldic machines.

...Now you know why (mass-produced) heraldic machines are only mass-produced products, right? For saints, the heraldry machine can only be used for transportation occasionally, or for ritual reasons.

Now, the three saints who are fighting fiercely are using their "mortal bodies" to encourage each other.

Count Baoré only felt that his mouth was dry and his skin was filled with an unbearable tingling sensation.

He could feel that the floors and walls in the passage were like fragile pieces of paper that were being torn, burned, and burned. Now, they have reached the HB12 area from the EX888 channel where they started.

The straight-line distance between the two is more than five kilometers. They had penetrated countless walls and demolished countless passages and cabins along the way. There are countless ordinary soldiers, robots, equipment, and various flowers and plants affected.

It is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of marine troops, armed with heavy weapons and fighting in the streets for half a month, they will not have the effect of a storm passing through and meteors falling into the camp.

This is the inevitable result when psykers of the Saint class fight with all their might.

However, in the face of such a situation, King Thoraine showed optimism.

King Thoraine said to his comrades: "It will be beneficial to us to continue fighting!"

Count Baoré laughed and said: "It doesn't seem like we are fighting now, but more like demolition."
