Almost at the same time, Arni on the ground received a signal that the assault troops were in contact with the enemy, so he ordered all troops to start to advance quickly. For this battle, he even threw his personal soldiers into the ground. At the same time, the redeemers of the state religion also pushed the fanaticism of the believers to the highest point.
"In this glorious moment, charge! Until the final judgment comes, charge!"
"For the Emperor of God! Go and die with glory!!"
The mad believers ran like flocks driven away by whips. Arni saw that the redeemers had only madness and hatred, as if they were whipping just a bunch of livestock.
Such people, such beliefs, shuddered, but there is no doubt that they have sufficient numbers to fill all the traps and obstacles created by the traitors and flood them with absolute numbers.
What after?
They may become "new residents" underground and make considerable profits with their uninterrupted daily labor as the church or someone else.
Alni doesn't like this kind of victory, but he has no choice. He just wants to quickly withdraw from this quagmire and go to a more glorious battlefield.
"Run! Run!"
Hayes has never tried racing against death, and that's not a good thing.
The number of enemies was far beyond his imagination, and their weapons were not particularly backward. The underground battles during this period allowed them to seize a lot of equipment from the Astral Army. More importantly, they were all determined and full of hatred.
Realizing that he would not last long in place, Olanios asked the termite boring machine to carry out the last round of fire support and left the ground. Then he ordered the entire battalion to rush directly to the enemy's stronghold!
Because he judged that the enemy used a mast to attract their attention on the front, and then launched a raid on them by blasting rock formations from both sides. In other words, the enemy's frontal forces must be relatively weak, and only by occupying a solid stronghold can they continue to resist the enemy with an advantageous number. According to the plan, reinforcements will take at least half an hour to arrive.
But Olanios dared not be so optimistic. He knew that Alni would definitely not lead the team underground in person. Although he could control remotely, his command would definitely be relatively chaotic. It would be great that those troops could break through the complex mine channel network encirclement sites within two hours.
In fact, he had made plans to stay in place for five hours, so before the war, the soldiers were asked to bring as much drinking water as possible and a certain amount of ration sticks.
Hayes held the laser gun tightly and ran hard in the dark ground. Because his helmet was broken, his night vision device also broke. Although he picked up a fallen comrade, the night vision device of that man was also broken, so he could only watch the surrounding light running with the figure ahead.
During this period, bullets kept flying through his ears, and then exploded, causing dirt and gravel. Hayes did not run straight, and he tried hard to dodge left and right when running. He suddenly understood Uncle Hashet's words, no matter how strong you are on the battlefield, it is meaningless, even a space warrior is useless. Only luck can determine who can live and who can die.
"ah!"
A soldier in the company shouted and fell to the ground. He was shot in the neck, and all his blood was splattered on Hayes' pants. Hayes, who was running, immediately used a laser gun to sweep the possible position of the enemy who shot the black gun.
I vaguely saw a figure slipping from behind the stone.
As Olanios expected, the defense power deployed in the front was very weak. They did not expect that these imperial troops would attack the front and the traitors who were shocked by the sudden attack were soon killed by laser gun volleys and bayonets. Hayes jumped over a pile of corpses and just tried to keep up with the team.
Soon the entire battalion passed through the enemy's weak blocking line and rushed to the stronghold full of shacks.
When crossing the metal guardrails, Hayes saw many ragged people lying face down on the ground. I don’t know if they were pretending to be dead or really dead, but everyone passing by would subconsciously stab it with a bayonet, as if this would prevent the enemy from resurrection.
"Arranging the blocking line!"
At this time, Hashet issued a new order
"Suppress the firepower to go there!"
The people around Hayes raised their laser guns, and a large beam of light rushed through the darkness. He found the panting Habrey and ran to a shack stacked on a metal container as Hashett's instructions. It was empty, with only some debris, dirty bedding and an unpleasant smell. Perhaps someone had lived in it before, but it must be no more now.
Habrey and Winter were busy setting up logging guns at the windows, and the enemy had more firepower at this time.
Hayes took the grenade launcher from Peak's hand and fired it in one direction. Then he saw three corpses being exploded and lifted into the air in the flames.
The enemy seemed to become even more angry when they discovered that the Imperial Army entered their homeland, but they also knew that the Imperial Army had fierce firepower, so they did not directly attack, but tried to encircle from other directions, just like in the past.
Therefore, after judging that the enemy had been dispersed, Olanios made a new decision to occupy the geothermal power station.
There are several large facilities in the stronghold, but most of them have solid gates and tight security. Obviously, the Red Pirates also handed over the authority to the resisters here when they handed over, but the geothermal power station is the exception. It was built by Angustorm. They have the "back door key" that can directly open the facility door. This facility is the lifeline of the entire underground world. Once the power is cut off, the air circulation system, heating system, and other life-saving subsystems will be paralyzed.
Then, without a bullet, most people underground will die, which will force the resisters to reclaim the facility at all costs, so as to attract and concentrate them all.
When the order was issued, the troops immediately began to transfer. As a machine gun squad, Hayes and the others had to ensure that the large troops suppressed the enemy during the transfer, so they were almost the last group to retreat.
"Hurry and hurry!"
While urging Habrey and others to divert, Hayes threw grenades in the direction of the enemy's movement. He knew that using a laser gun would only expose his position in this case. The resister must have no night vision equipment. There is not much lighting in this stronghold. Instead, the grenades can effectively prevent the enemy from chasing.
Soon the shift they were in began to move towards the geothermal power station. At this time, Olanios had already opened the gate of the power station with a secret key, but there were enemy guards inside, and fierce gunfire could be heard from afar.
Running on the winding streets, Hayes had to turn around from time to time to see if there were any enemies behind them. At this moment, he did not notice that a pit suddenly appeared on the ground behind him due to the vibration of the explosion.
"ah!"
