The time was short, but it was enough for Cortana to grasp the unfavorable situation they faced.
The Targaryen royal mecha¡¯s dominance over the Imperial Alliance is not entirely due to the advanced performance of the mecha. She sneered secretly in her heart.
Following Cortana¡¯s order, the royal mechas began to quickly move closer to their nearby companions. Previously, they were thrown into confusion by the sudden attack from the black mecha. Those black mechas were as nimble as monkeys. They were always jumping around, moving and dodging, appearing and disappearing in the dust raised in the sky to attack them. This was unlike any battle they had ever encountered before. Most of the time, mecha battles are often a fire attack in a formation, with missiles, artillery, and energy beams flying all over the sky. They approach each other in the fire and then collide with each other. This is when the close combat begins. "Mechas are the knights in high-tech warfare." Their instructors told them this more than once when they were still in the mecha training camp. However, maybe not all mechas are knights. At least not the black mecha they were facing now. They ambushed them, they hid underground, and they rushed into their formations and slaughtered them as soon as they started. Such tactics are definitely not the Cavaliers' style. A bunch of despicable villains!
Xin Qiang clearly felt that the battle was becoming different. Targaryen's royal mechas were forming a battle formation that he had never seen before. They were gathered in small groups, fighting at long range, medium and short range, and close quarters. The royal mechas' distinct fighting methods made him It felt like they were walking on a battlefield full of thorns. Those round or square battle formations gradually moved closer to form a larger battle formation. Their firepower supported each other. Whenever they approached a certain battle formation under artillery fire and fought with each other, the firepower from nearby battle formations Long-range firepower will attack them from all directions. The enemies they face are not only the mechas facing them, but also the companions of other enemies hiding behind the fighting mechas, as well as enemies in other battle formations not far from them. Mecha. Casualties have inevitably occurred.
Xin Qiang jumped away, rolling to the side as the blast of air passed over him. It was a missile flying from nowhere, and the blazing high temperature seeped into the cockpit of the mecha. He could even feel that the outer shell of the biological mecha was boiling. The Targaryen royal mechas have good fighting skills, but they are not enough to threaten them who master the mysterious mecha skills. But the opponent's weapons can, such as high-energy particle beam cannons, faster and more powerful small armor-piercing missiles dedicated to individual mechas, and the high-speed projectiles of the six-barreled Storm machine gun that rain down like hail. As long as your movements slow down a little, they will tear apart the solid shell of the bio-mecha layer by layer like solar wind. Xin Qiang could feel the flowing energy in the bionic neural network. The damaged biological shell was drawing energy from the core battery of the biological mecha at an extremely high speed. He even heard something similar to blood spurting out from the heart. Gurgling softly. But the biomechs can't be repaired quickly enough to keep up with the damage done to the mechas by enemy fire. They must maintain a very high movement speed to buy more time for the biological mecha to repair. But doing so will greatly consume the mecha fighter's physical strength. This battle was a bit useless, he thought to himself.
Three hundred mechas gathered around Cortana, forming a circular formation. Surrounding them are more circular formations, and more circular formations form a larger ring-shaped circular formation. They are connected to each other, just like a large circle within a small circle. The intersection of each other is their firepower. The overlapping parts provided each other with fire support for their colleagues.
Mechas themselves represent mania. They are a symbol of strength. Mecha troops in most countries use this power for offense, destroying their enemies in a frenzy. Either you die or I die, this is the essence of mecha combat. However, the Targaryen royal mecha uses this power for defense. The advanced technology of the twelfth generation mecha gives the mecha not only stronger strength and power, but also stronger firepower output and more Strong external armor. This allows them to last longer under attack from their opponents, and also allows them to eliminate more enemies with the weapons in their hands. The battle formation has always allowed the Royal Mecha to be invincible, but this time they seemed to have met their opponent.
Cortana has not intervened in this melee. She has been squinting her eyes and carefully observing every move of her opponent. This does not mean that her mecha skills are low. On the contrary, as early as her twenty-seventh birthday three years ago, she had already become a mecha war god and the only female mecha in the empire. Mars. But she knew her duty. Her duty was not to fight, but to direct the battle. Only if she makes the most correct decision, will her comrades and her subordinates have the best chance of surviving the brutal battle. What's more, her ability to become the commander-in-chief of the Royal Mecha Division did not depend on her ability to operate mechas or her pretty face, but because she had a smarter and sharper mind than others. She constantly directs the formation.The movement caused the mecha that had endured too much pressure to shrink back into the inner formation.
The enemy's mechas are the best mecha troops she has ever seen. Their movements are silent, strange and fast, and their violent mecha attacks are transformed into a very beautiful scene. In their hands, mecha skills have changed from a killing skill to a fighting art. This qualitative sublimation gives people a cold and biting beauty, making you unable to put it down but trembling all over. Cortana secretly defined the mania in silence. Their attacks were so impassioned, but silent, like a rushing tide washing away the royal mecha's battle array again and again. Some of the royal mechas that formed the battle formation collapsed and scattered under the impact of the tide, and were then submerged in black. Cortana couldn't help but let out a silent sigh, feeling for the first time that her heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness. Apart from defending, constantly defending, she seemed to be unable to find a better way to face the attacks of those black mechas.
Xin Qiang was a little irritable. He roared and rushed towards the enemy formation in front of him again. The silent black shadow beside him rushed forward with him. The tenacity of these Targaryen royals had exceeded his expectations. After experiencing the previous chaos, they gradually stabilized their position. They were still defending. Some of their defenses were broken, but no matter what, their main formation remained firm. Xin Qiang knew very well that everything was because of the mecha commander at the core. They would persevere as long as they did not disrupt the opponent's command system. The enemy's intention was to attack the floating platform where the railgun was located, but now they were trapped here. From this point of view, there is no doubt that the enemy's tactical goal has not been achieved. It should be said that this is a victory for the Kingdom of Japan. But for the Free Army, no; for Xin Qiang, no! In Xin Qiang's eyes, the enemy's persistence was a kind of blasphemy against the invincible mecha legion of the Free Army. During those days following the general, under his command, they were always invincible. What they heard were always the wailing of the enemy and the cheers after victory in the battle. This kind of glory must never end in his own hands, Xin Qiang thought through gritted teeth. He looked coldly at the calm core of the enemy's formation. Only by destroying it could he completely destroy the enemy's will to resist! He secretly made a decision in his heart.
Cortana frowned. The battle has continued and she has not yet found the opponent's command center. Those mechas all looked the same, and they were all fighting. No mecha was outside the battle, and there was no strategic point where she could launch an attack. From her point of view, this only seemed to indicate that the opponent was a warrior who only knew how to run rampant without a strategic mind, but the opponent's strong offensive power made this attack flawless.
This reminded her of what Military God Tyr once said in the tactics class when she was at the Royal Military Academy: Any tactic taken to the extreme will become a frightening force. At that time, she was still young and energetic, and was at the age where she was questioning everything. She felt that Till's words were not correct. As a commander and a strategist, being both offensive and defensive, and assessing the situation are the most important qualities you should have. If you focus too much on any one aspect, you will never be called an excellent commander. She remembered that she had expressed her opinion to Tyr. She also remembered Tyr's answer: There is no perfect tactical arrangement, and there is no undefeated general.
Tyr is a respected elder and an excellent military strategist, but unfortunately he stands on the opposite side of the empire. She had heard many rumors about the Tire family. Some people were resentful of the Tire family's betrayal, while others questioned His Majesty the Emperor's decision. But in Cortana's eyes, it doesn't matter what the facts are, and it doesn't matter who is right or wrong. She is a soldier, a soldier of the Targaryen dynasty. The value of her existence is to maintain the rule of the dynasty. Since the dynasty wants To destroy the Tire family, what she should do as a soldier is to obey the will of His Majesty the Emperor and the will of the entire dynasty!
And now she finally saw with her own eyes a tactic that was used to its extreme in front of her. That kind of attack was really frightening. In the face of the endless and powerful offensive, the Royal Mecha's battle formation seemed to be swallowed up at any time, and they were always on the verge of danger. But as Lord Tyr said: There is no perfect tactical arrangement, and there is no undefeated general. The seemingly flawless tactics also have their own fatal flaws. Mechas can attack tirelessly, but humans can't! The only thing she has to do now is to wait patiently and wait for exhaustion to come. That will be their chance to fight back! Of course, before that, they first have to find a way to survive until that moment. This battle is equally dangerous for both the royal mecha and their enemies. At least Cortana thought so.
But Xin Qiang doesn¡¯t think so! He still has a force in his hand that has not been put into battle! He also has a 300-man Ares team and 100 ghost mechas in his hands. They are quietly lurking under the sand at the moment and silently watching the battle on the ground! Perhaps, now is the time to use them!
&nbCortana's eyes suddenly shrank, and she saw a mecha troop emerging from the dense sand at the edge of the battlefield and quickly gathering. However, after observing for a while, she felt relieved again. There were only a few hundred mechas. For this mecha war involving tens of thousands of mechas, the investment of a few hundred mechas is simply not enough to influence the direction of the battle. No matter how elite they are! Unless they are all Mecha Gods of War! But this is simply not possible. No mecha army will have so many mecha war gods. What the powerful Targaryen dynasty cannot do, there is no other country in the interstellar that can do it.
She knew that the ** Kingdom was loyal to the New Charno Empire, and their master sent them support. She had read the battle report about the young commander, and she had to admit that the commander was very outstanding. His incredible victories were always so unexpected, and the strength of his army was also quite strong. But Cortana didn't think his army was so powerful that the mecha war gods were running all over the place. Even if he could assemble an army of mecha war gods, he would never appear here! She even suspected that Yi Lexiang was just a puppet emperor of the Charno Empire. A young man who is less than thirty years old, not even as old as her, has no reason to gain the allegiance of so many powerful people. This makes no sense!
Looking from the sky, this area of ??less than three kilometers covered with dense yellow sand is shrouded in yellow. The yellow sand dust raised by the mecha battle fills the sky, like a small sandstorm. However, under this yellow, countless mechas are engaged in a desperate struggle. Flashes of light, explosions, and clanging sounds of metal continued, but these sounds were becoming fainter, as if some stronger force had intervened in the fight.
When those jet-black mechas, which Cortana thought were not enough to turn the tide of the battle, joined the battlefield, the situation was quickly slipping in a direction that was unfavorable to the royal mechas. The royal mecha warriors who were still resisting tenaciously are now enveloped in an unprecedented sense of fear, including Cortana. The phalanx of four hundred mechas quickly tore apart the battle formation of the royal mechas like an indestructible spear tip. Their target was Cortana, the place with the tightest defense and the strongest point. To defeat your enemies, you must defeat them where they are most confident. If the army collapses, it can be regrouped, but if the will collapses, everything is over. It was obvious that the commander of the black mecha knew this sentence very well.
Behind the four hundred mechas, the boundless black was swarming in along the gaps they tore. They fought hard and moved forward. It seemed that the invincible performance of their colleagues had stimulated their nerves and impacted them as warriors. dignity. This was Cortana's mood at the moment.
Several golden mechas rushed in front of her, "Your Excellency, Commander, the soldiers can't stop them anymore, and the enemy has broken through the battle formation. We'd better withdraw." The one who spoke was one of her mecha commanders.
Every captain of the Targaryen royal mecha is a mecha war god. They have gone through harsh and demanding training step by step to get to where they are today. They are all the best warriors and the most outstanding commanders. Cortana knew that they were not afraid of death, just because the situation was irreversible.
But not being afraid of death doesn¡¯t mean they won¡¯t feel fear.
But there is no shame in feeling fear at this moment. Anyone can feel fear when faced with the situation in front of them. In front of them was a team of four hundred mecha war gods. For those of them who have dedicated their lives to mechas, the Mecha War God is the god of the mecha troops. Every soldier dreams of becoming such a person. As mecha war gods, they will understand this from the eyes of the soldiers every time. The soldiers worship them and are proud of them. But when hundreds of mecha war gods appeared in front of people like them who were also mecha war gods, they felt no different from the soldiers. They felt fear and helplessness.
The main formation of the royal mecha began to retreat backwards. They tried their best to keep the formation intact but to no avail. Xin Qiang was a little puzzled by the series of reactions caused by the Ares mecha joining the battle. It seemed that chaos occurred when the enemy realized who they were facing. He expected the enemy to resist and fight to the death, because that is what they would do if the roles were reversed. Because the perseverance shown by these royal mechas before left a deep impression on him. But he had forgotten that these people had long been accustomed to the existence of Mecha War Gods. They dared to wave their sharp blades at Mecha War Gods and swooped forward because they already knew that those Mecha War Gods, like them, were also becoming gods step by step. altar. More importantly, the enemies faced by the Free Army are always stronger than themselves. They fight bravely at a disadvantage, but their enemies are not!
The royal mecha is still retreating. A soldier drove a mecha and rushed in front of Xin Qiang, "Captain, are you chasing me?"
Even though Xin Qiang is already a commander commanding 100,000 mechas, the soldiers are still used to?Call him the leader. He also readily accepted it. In his eyes, being the leader of the War God Regiment was far more prestigious than becoming a mecha commander.
"Chase! Why don't you chase them? I'm going to drive them all away!" Xin Qiang roared. This battle went a bit unsatisfactory. If it weren't for the fact that he brought the God of War team and the ghost mecha, the glory of the Free Army mecha unit might have been lost in his hands this time. How could he let these damn Targaryen royal mechas go.
"Okay," the mecha soldier let out an excited roar. Black once again swept across the earth and rushed toward the golden color that was retreating hastily¡ª¡ª
¡°There was a fierce battle just fought in Xin Qiang¡¯s place!¡± Chen Yatian walked into the Supreme Command of the ** Kingdom with the intelligence he had just received.
Tyr is issuing orders in an orderly manner. Hearing Chen Yatian's words, he raised his head curiously, "Oh? A fierce battle? They encountered the Royal Mecha Troops?" In this star field, the only one who can compete with the Free Army's Mecha Troops is the Royal Mecha Troops. . "Well, a bad fight can't be called a tough fight, a hard fight is more accurate." Tier said with a smile while stroking his beard.
He once served as the commander-in-chief of the empire and naturally has some knowledge of the combat effectiveness of the Targaryen dynasty's royal mecha troops. The Targaryen dynasty is the most powerful country in the interstellar world. It occupies a vast star field and naturally has the largest military system among human countries. The composition of their military is also slightly different from other interstellar powers, divided into two systems: regular troops and royal troops. The senior commanders of the royal forces are all members of the royal family or peripheral members of the royal family. For example, what besieged the Tire family was a royal fleet, and their commander Lovell was the son-in-law of His Majesty the Emperor. Compared with conventional troops, the equipment of the royal troops is more advanced, the combat effectiveness is more powerful, and the number of royal troops is not large. This is also the trump card for the Targaryen royal family to maintain their rule.
Chen Yatian smiled and said, "They sent five mecha divisions to Homesick Planet, totaling one hundred thousand mechas. Two of them were royal mechas, and they happened to be touched by Xin Qiang."
"Then his luck is really good!" Tier laughed. He divided the 100,000 mechas brought by Xin Qiang into three to defend three planets that were crucial to the Kingdom of Japan. Considering the location of Homesick Star, he estimated that Targaryen would make Homesick Star its primary attack target, so Homesick Star also had the largest number of mecha troops, with a total of 50,000 mechas. Fifty thousand versus one hundred thousand, their side is undoubtedly at a disadvantage, but the combat effectiveness of the Free Army's mecha troops far exceeds that of ordinary mecha combat troops. Except for the unlucky Xin Qiang, he should have won all the other battles. "Who is leading the charge?"
"Xin Qiang's intelligence did not mention that he is leading his army to pursue the opponent."
Tier nodded, "It seems that the battle on Homesick Planet has come to an end. The loss of so many royal mechas is enough to make them heartbroken."
"The twelfth generation mecha must be quite expensive to build." Chen Yatian agreed.
"It's not just the loss of mechas. According to the staffing of the royal mechasthe opponent is two divisions, right? Well, that's eight thousand mechas, and at least sixty to eighty mecha war godsif This guy Xin Qiang annihilated the opponent in one fell swoop. Hey, this incident might alarm His Majesty the Emperor and cause enough headaches for the opponent's fleet commander."
The corners of Chen Yatian's mouth turned down slightly, with a trace of disdain on his face. Tyr laughed and patted his shoulder, "That's the Mecha God of War! How many empires are like the Free Army Oh, how about thousands of mechas like the Empire?" However, he seemed to have thought of it. Something happened, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. "The barbarians don't count. Those people don't count as normal humans."
At the mention of the barbarians, the joy that had just been brought about by the good news suddenly disappeared. "Chief Tier, what's your next plan? We can't always defend. General His Majesty the Emperor is still planning an all-out attack on the barbarians. The war on our side will involve his energy."
"Wait a moment!" Tire looked at the starry sky map in front of him. "The morale of the invading Royal Fleet is very high. We must avoid their attacks first. Besides, the problem with the Democratic Alliance has not been resolved yet. I think the army There will be a delay in dispatching for some time.¡±
"What is going on with this Democratic Alliance? It stands to reason that there are many of their families in the Hermit Alliance, and they should be well aware of the threat that the barbarians bring to the human world. But now they are fighting fiercely with the Imperial Alliance, but they are not interested in I don¡¯t care about the situation in the Southern Star Territory. Isn¡¯t this a bit stupid!¡±
"They have to fight. The star field attacked by the Imperial Alliance is their richest area, with almost all the minerals and population concentrated here. If they don't deal with the threat from the Imperial Alliance first, they will be finished before the barbarians come over. Otherwise, , the population in the southern star field is sparse, most of them are resource stars, and the output is not very rich. Giving up temporarily will not hurt your muscles and bones."
"In this case, they should form an alliance with us. We have been fighting against the Imperial Alliance for these years, and they should understand our position."
"Some things are difficult to understand with common sense once they are involved at the national level. Charno has been fighting against the Imperial Alliance, but this time the defections of the Douglas and Thomas families have made them wary. I guess they The main reason for not allying with us is not because Charnow changed to the imperial system, but because they have doubts about the two major families. After all, the roots of the Thomas family and the Douglas family are in the Democratic Alliance, and they have huge influence in the Democratic Alliance. They are afraid that we will take this opportunity to annex the Democratic Alliance."
"Annexing the Democratic Alliance?" Chen Yatian couldn't help but want to laugh. The fact that Charno annexed the Democratic Alliance seemed a bit unbelievable.
"It's not that they are unfounded." Tyr said with a serious face, "The three major families plus the Akashic Secret Society are not a small force. Not to mention the ancient heritage of Charno. You Free Army members Senior generals need to change their thinking. Although our overall strength is not as good as the Targaryen dynasty, it is not much weaker than them. A Targaryen dynasty can dominate the entire empire and serve it, so naturally we will do the same. Got it. To put it bluntly, leaving aside the Barbarians and the Hermit Alliance, the New Charno Empire can be called the second interstellar force after its completion."
Chen Yatian nodded, and Tier's earnest reminder gave him an enlightenment. Their thinking is still stuck at the time of the original Free Army. There may not be any problems in a short period of time, but it will be difficult to say after a long time. When the war in the ** Kingdom is over, maybe he should contact Wu Wei to convene a meeting of senior military officers to reverse this idea.
"And" A hint of a smile appeared on Tier's face, "If conditions permit, I don't mind swallowing the Democratic Alliance in one gulp. I think Kane and Thomas Wang have similar ideas to me." Seeing Chen Yatian's face He was so horrified that he couldn't help but laugh, "We are now an empire. What is an empire? That is, there is only one will in the entire country, which is the will of His Majesty the Emperor. Unlike in democratic countries, everything must be discussed by parliament, what? You can completely forget about freedom, democracy, and morality. Having said that, let me say one more thing. I think you generals of the Free Army should also change your attitude towards Yi Lexiang. He is no longer your general, but Our Emperor. If you continue to act like before, you may have some negative effects."
"Yes! I will arrange this matter. We are indeed a little presumptuous sometimes. The majesty of His Majesty the Emperor must be maintained."
"For an empire, the emperor's dignity is the dignity of the entire empire, and the emperor's will is the will of the entire empire. As ministers, we only have the right to make suggestions but not to make decisions. We must not be careless. Now is a time of war, everything Keep it simple, and you don¡¯t have to be too demanding on some minor details, but the war will end one day. I don¡¯t want to see a civil strife spread from within the empire just after the war ends. Yi Lexiang is too gentle. We must We need to clear up some of the shortcomings that he doesn¡¯t care about but have a profound impact on the empire.¡±
"I see!"
"To be honest, the emperor's power is profound and unpredictable, and Yi Lexiang is too idealistic. I am really worried about him."
"But there are secret arts"
"Secret magic is not omnipotent! And if it really happens, I think Yi Lexiang would rather hide away from the world than kill his former comrades and colleagues. Once he is gone, this empire will inevitably fall apart and cease to exist. If the war is real, If we fail, we will all escape to another world, and things may be simpler. But if it is an unexpected victory, it will be really troublesome. If there is an emperor, there is a royal family, and there are important officials and family forces, and there will be endless disputes and mutual disputes. I may not be able to see this day when I am old, but I hope that we can build a huge empire that will last forever. Rather than just a ragtag group of people who get together temporarily to deal with human crises."
"Have you already practiced the secret technique, how could you still"
"I'm talking about this world. Do I have to worry about the bad things here when I go to another world?" Tier looked at Chen Yatian reproachfully. Young people are young people, and they can't always see such a long-term perspective. Chen Yatian couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Tire withdrew his gaze and looked at the starry sky outside, "Besides, our roots are always here, and the origin of our humanity is always here. Now we are a weak race, but I hope that one day this situation will be able to Change, and we humans can truly take control of our own destiny. Just like those of us who are destined to go to another world do in another world.¡±¡ª¡ª
Cortana cursed the mechas behind her in the most vicious words she could think of. They justShe followed them closely like a hunting dog chasing a rabbit. Of her eight thousand mechas, less than three thousand were left. They had lost about two thousand in the battle just now. was killed by the opponent while hunting. Now they rely on a sand dune to guard their last hope. She had sent out the evacuation signal an hour ago, but until now there was no sign of the landing craft that would take them back to the fleet. She secretly made up her mind that if she could escape this time, she must meet His Majesty the Emperor in person to impeach the fleet commander responsible for this operation. In addition, she also wants to show the precious battlefield images in her hand to the important officials of the court. This is an image record that the royal mecha paid for with its own life.
The long-awaited whistling sound finally came from the sky, and the figure of the landing craft finally appeared in the pale yellow sky. The charged ion dust permeating the atmosphere has a certain impact on the propellers of the landing craft, causing the landing craft to fly much slower than normal. The call from the landing craft command ship came through the noisy electronic noise. The arrival of the landing craft seemed to inspire the last fighting spirit of the nearly collapsed royal mechas. They desperately poured firepower on the surrounding black mechas, clearing a small and narrow landing spot for the landing craft. As the landing craft gradually approached the ground, the gun muzzles around the hull began to spray flames.
Anti-aircraft missiles dragging dazzling tail flames soared into the sky from around the position. The landing craft's firepower formed several firepower nets around its hull. However, some missiles still passed through the gaps in the firepower nets and struck. vulnerable landing craft. Emitting black smoke, the spinning landing craft fell rapidly to the ground, and then a series of huge fireballs rose into the sky. But more landing craft still forcibly broke through the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower and landed shakily on the ground. Their thrusters were still on, blowing up yellow sand all over the sky. "Evacuate!" Cortana glanced with stern eyes. Facing the black mechas coming from all directions, the last line of defense has been submerged in the black sky. Someone must face death. A thousand mechas took on the task of blocking the inevitable death. Their sacrifices bought the lives of an equal number of comrades!
The landing craft quickly left the ground and flew into space. Cortana jumped off the mecha and rushed directly into the cockpit of the landing craft. She pointed her gun at the trembling pilot's head, "Why are you coming to save us now." The word 'rescue' made her a little uncomfortable. , when did the invincible royal mecha need others to rescue it? But she never hides the truth, the truth is the truth, and all she has to do is face it calmly. If given the chance, she would make those black mechas pay the same price.
"Sir" The officer opened his eyes in horror and swallowed his saliva, "I the fleet has left Homesick Planet. We flew back after receiving your distress signal That's why we spent so much time. Long time.¡±
"Why did you abandon your comrades and leave? Don't you know there are still people fighting here?" Cortana shouted angrily.
"A few hours ago, the other mecha units were completely wiped out. The communication center has been calling you, but there is no response. We can't take those forts, and the fleet's losses are too great. We have to retreat. , sir." There was a hint of frustration in the young officer's voice.
The pistol in Cortana's hand hung down weakly. The ionization interference from Homesick Planet was too strong, and the communication was intermittent. Perhaps this is really not the fault of these soldiers. She thought about the officer's words and raised her head suddenly, "What did you just say? The other mecha units were completely wiped out a few hours ago?"
"Yes, sir. We also tried to rescue them, but we didn't make it in time."
Cortana shook her head hard, trying to dispel the extreme exhaustion after the battle. There is only one explanation. There are more than one group of black mechas on Homesick Planet. They attacked their landing force separately. Other mecha troops do not have the combat effectiveness of the royal mecha, and they are just targets of slaughter when facing these mechas. When she thought of one hundred thousand mechas perished on a planet full of yellow sand, Cortana felt as if all her strength was suddenly drained. Her legs were no longer able to support the weight of her body, and her back slowly slid down against the wall of the cockpit. Was she the only one thousand left out of a hundred thousand mechas and a hundred thousand comrades? She looked confused. She was not a new recruit who had never experienced combat, but she had never experienced such a tragic defeat. The sadness of losing her comrades made her cry bitterly, but this is war!¡ª¡ª
Balon groped along the darkness, holding a burning torch in his hand. Nothing contrary to tradition was allowed here. The flickering firelight didn't provide him with much light, and the spiral stone staircase seemed to go down endlessly. The coldness in the ground eroded his old body. There seemed to be other things mixed in with the coldness, which was bone-chilling. His powers seemed unable to protect him from the cold. The coldness slowly seeped out from the depths of his heart, making him tremble and tremble.
The sound of footsteps hit back and forth on the walls of the corridor, spreading far away. This is the cemetery of the Baron family, a cemetery buried deep underground. No, to be precise, this is the place where past presidents of the Alliance of Superpowers have rested. It's just that the Baron family occupies this place, just like they did when they tried to seize the Alliance of Superpowers many years ago. When he reached the bottom of the stairs, he heard his own breathing. It was the breathing of an old man. This thought made Baron's heart tremble even more intensely.
The stone statues of past presidents stared at him in the flickering firelight with eyes that could no longer see, as if this was not a territory that living people should enter. Balon never liked this place. It was like a hell under the Nine Netherworld, filled with the smell of the dead. But he has come here more than once, because there is a shocking secret hidden here - the Temple of War that created the supernatural God of War is here. He remembered that the last time he came here was to pick up Balon Alvin, and that was the only time he saw a living person here. He had been here before, and he personally sent his brothers, sons, and close relatives one after another through the ever-closed stone door. They never came out, they stayed in the darkness forever, accompanying the ghosts underground.
There were strange patterns engraved on the door of the Temple of War. He once suspected that they were some kind of writing, but he searched all the ancient books but could not find any clues. Balon stopped and inserted the torch into the stone groove in the wall. Behind him, the sealed sarcophagus continued to extend and submerged into the darkness. He had never walked along the corridor to the end. He knew that further in the darkness were the same continuous sarcophagi, some of which were still empty, waiting for other occupants. No one knows who built this corridor, and no one knows who carved these sarcophagi. This place was already like this when the first president discovered it. He simply built a spiral staircase that connected to the ground floor.
Before leaving, Baron Aiwen sent 10,000 supernatural winds into the Temple of War. Today is the day to start. Warriors of the God of War, warriors who defend the God of War. Alvin, call them that. But Balon had never heard of this. Every war god in history was alone. There was never anyone else around them. The only ones who followed them were the warriors of the Alliance. But the red guards around Ivan did come from the Temple of War, which he saw with his own eyes.
