In the wide trial hall of the fortress of the Ministry of Justice, there was no such solemnity as before. There were huge arrays of contemplators everywhere, and thick cables were thrown on the ground at will. They were easily tripped when passing by. The mechanical priests who had not withdrawn were busy debugging equipment or collecting any data and information that could still be collected. There was a huge imager in the center of the hall, and the water-shaped projection marked many details of the nest, and even the collapsed spire.
Sabrin walked to the camera and reached out to summon the intelligence images of an area. He could see that in the blurry and snow-flake shot, a group of space undead infantry holding Gauss rifles and covered in rusty bodies were slowly advancing along the avenue with ruins on both sides in a dense array of square formations.
"The enemy has begun to march towards the middle nest. This is the main passage on the west side, but there are only two local Orps regiments stationed here, and I am worried that I can't defend..."
"Report!"
An officer ran over and saluted Sabrin.
"Sir! I received an emergency communication from the 193rd Infantry Regiment of Amara! But there is no response!"
"put."
Wired communication accounts for a large proportion of Chaodu’s communication methods, which makes its internal communication not easily cut off. This is also the reason why Talos must keep people here to stick to it. The fortress of the Legal Ministry is a key node connecting all communication lines. As long as you keep it here, Chao will not fall.
Soon, a breathless sound rang out in the small horn next to the camera, and there seemed to be dying moans and sparse gunshots around.
"...Report to the command center and transfer it to Chief Sabrin... At present, the enemy has broken through all defense lines of the pump station in the F3 area, and the reinforcements requested... There is no news. I... Leonard and all the officers and soldiers of the regiment are determined to serve the throne with death, and have achieved their ambitions... Please pay attention to the enemy's actions in this direction..."
The last few words, the voice was almost struggling to speak. Sabrin took a deep breath and felt that his shoulders were much heavier.
He even knew that there was such a unit, and he had never seen the regiment commander. He looked at the hologram. The F3 area should be a location close to the upper nest. It should have been abandoned, but the entire regiment was so isolated and helpless that he could only get the message until the entire army was wiped out.
"Report! An urgent telephone was sent from the warehouse on the 13th Street! The enemy has broken through the front direction and needs support!"
“13th Street Warehouse?”
The position of Sabrin looking in that direction is already on the edge of the middle nest. The most important thing is that the warehouse stores a large amount of food, which will not be transported for a while. Now the limited transportation capacity is trying to transport soldiers and equipment, but if these foods are gone, it is very likely to affect the subsequent defense - even if he has never really commanded a war, he has read it, and the importance of food to defense is no less than that of bullets.
"Aren't there a total of seven regiments stationed? Can't you defend this..."
"It's okay, I'll just take people to see it. Didn't I keep some combat robots? I'll take some of them here too."
Seeing Li Lin volunteering, Sabrin nodded.
"Okay, let Alvarez bring the battle robot formation with you, remember, don't show off."
"Don't worry, I've seen these space undead spirits so powerful, I'm not that stupid."
"Soldiers!"
In the smoke-filled ruins, the officer held up a trumpet and shouted on the position.
"This is our home! Our ancestors built the city with blood and hard work, and they took the land back from cult worshippers and bloody sacrificers and purified it with the power of faith! What kind of legacy will you leave behind, the soldiers of Amara? Will you let the city fall, or will you stand up and destroy any enemy who dares to step into this gap?"
The deafening roar responded to the officer's words, which proved that his troops had not lost their fighting spirit.
When the first shadow appeared in the rubble-covered gap, the morale of the troops stood the test.
The recruit Ur felt a hand on his shoulder. When he turned around, he saw that it was the smile of the company commander Freser. The veteran's left half of his face had been burned beyond recognition. Not long ago, he had a very handsome face. This pain must be unbearable for ordinary people, but the tall warrior seemed to care nothing.
"The time is here. Before we die, are you going to kill a few iron bone frames, little dwarfs?"
"I...company commander, will we die?"
It is hard for him to imagine the topic of death at the age of eighteen. Although he was born in the Lower Nest and had seen brutal street fires, it is not directly linked to death as a young man.
The company sighed.
"They have won, they have squeezed our blood, and now they are going to complete their mission, they will build their evil totems on our remains, and perhaps the Emperor will send His angels to save us, but this chance is not strictly speaking."
In this darkest moment, both the excitement and despair were so futile and absurd. The seven regiments had a considerable number of heavy weapons, and even three tank battalions, but the enemy could not resist for an hour.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of artillery sounded, and the air was filled with sharp metal fragments.
This was the last artillery in the regiment. They once had a powerful artillery position, but under the attack of giant mechanical reptiles that suddenly emerged from the ground, almost all artillery was destroyed, and more than half of the artillery soldiers were killed and injured. It was not until Rimanlus, the tank battalion, hit the enemy desperately and shot at close range.
Amid the roar of the shells, a crisp metal burst could be heard. Ur shrank behind the bunker, surrounded by his comrades, and blood-stained helmets, guns, and even grenades were scattered on the ground.
The body was dealt with, but no one would deal with the objects left by the deceased for a while.
"Prepare to shoot!"
Hearing the command, Ur poked out his body and pressed his laser gun against his shoulder.
Suddenly, on his left, a soldier disappeared into the bloody mist, and two other soldiers fell down, screaming while grabbing the half-broken body that had been wiped out.
There are no bullets, no shells, only a terrifying green beam.
The enemy began shooting before them.
The flashes emitted by the other party's muzzle also exposed their positions. They were some terrible monsters, dragging heavy steps, like ghosts walking in the night, and the empty eyes were filled with miserable green like ghost fire. The body structure was so similar to that of humans, which was almost a blasphemy.
