Alien Alpha, above the First Fortress.

The roar pierced through the wind and snow, and the artillery fire roared through the upper and lower rows, and the energy cannons of the Crystal Cult and the Empire collided head-on.

"The armor is ready to leave the ship, and all departments are ready to cover."

Xie Yuduo sat in the flagship with a big horse, with a cold smile: "I don't need to save energy, just throw it down. Someone must land in the fortress within 30 minutes, at any cost!"

This time, they adopted an idea similar to the blitzkrieg. The time difference when the main force of Crystal Cult was flying a kite by Jiang Jianming's strategy was the most precious opportunity.

How much advantage can be gained within this time is likely to directly determine the victory or defeat of this battle.

The fierce battle intensified. Five minutes later, this group of expedition ships returned from the Crystal Nest, and initially tore a hole in the Crystal Cult's firepower network.

In the tenth minute, 30 mecha vanguards and about a thousand silver Beidou soldiers left the ship under the cover of the starship.

The task they got was to rush into the fortress and take back the area where the main cores of the remaining two defense systems were located.

rumbling...

The wind became stronger, and snow particles and hail flew randomly.

"This is... Zizi... the Thirteenth Vanguard, all members of the team have left the ship without damage, the target landing point: the second floor of the fortress in the east.

"Captain Lieutenant Raymond, the report is over!"

Tang Zhen was sitting in the rapidly descending mecha, besides the human voices coming from the communication, the sound of snow particles crashing into the machine crazily outside.

"Grass," he murmured with a pale grin, "this is too fucking exciting...!!"

Fire was being exchanged everywhere, and the glare was blinding.The mecha can only drop the baffle armor, relying on the data and images inside the cockpit to analyze the current situation.

Everyone in this group of vanguards is manipulating at least a B-level mech. They dive down from mid-air like this, and under normal circumstances, they can land in the fortress in less than two minutes.

However, less than ten seconds after the mecha left the starship, there was a loud flapping sound from above, and a huge shadow chased it down.

"Ji——"

"Cry, blah!!!"

The cry is sharp, and it is a bird-like alien creature.

"Attention, enemy attack from above!"

Lieutenant Raymond shouted: "The odd-numbered machines block the enemy, and the even-numbered machines follow me!"

In the blink of an eye, the mecha queue separated up and down.Half of the mechs suddenly hovered in mid-air.The cockpit door popped out, and crystal bones of various colors pierced out in parallel like sharp knives.

Unable to stop their inertia, the giant birds that rushed straight hit the crystal bone, splashing blood like an explosion!

The other half of the mechs did not hesitate to speed up and dive down.

In the snowstorm, more alien creatures flew from all directions.Birds, insects, bat-like monsters.

Beads of sweat dripped down Raymond's forehead: "Separate again! Stay with me on the periphery to stop the enemy, and the ten machines in the center will go—"

"No, Lieutenant!" Tang Zhen yelled out suddenly, he happened to be one of the ten positions that were named and continued to drop, "There are too many, you can't stop..."

"Shut up and obey orders!" Raymond sternly yelled, and the once simple young lieutenant sounded a bit like the former commander Huo Lin, "It's important to seize the fortress, we should go!!"

Suddenly, an afterimage flashed across the dim snow curtain in front of him, and a series of red-gold true crystals exploded in an instant.

More than a dozen alien creatures screamed and fell down, splashing blood on the vanguard mechs.

A large mecha roared and appeared from the snow curtain.

Outside the cockpit, there was a familiar slender figure half kneeling.

Tang Zhen said pleasantly, "Your Highness!"

Good speed!He couldn't help admiring that the support from Beta Aliens rushed over, and His Highness obviously rushed to the forefront.

Platinum long hair was messy and curled in the wind and snow, Lai An glanced at the vanguard, and said succinctly: "Let's all go."

Before the words were finished, two two-headed birds with the height of adults rushed forward from the front and back at the same time.

The mech that Lai An was riding on did not retreat but advanced. It rushed forward and stopped suddenly, and a mechanical arm was reloaded, which suddenly stuck the wings on both sides of the first strange bird.

——Shin!The red gold crystal bone pierced through instantly crushed its heart.

The mechanical arm released almost at the same time, turned into a laser blade and poked backwards, killing the second strange bird that attacked.

Wow... The rain of blood fell down.The vanguard had already taken advantage of the gap just now and rushed out.

The alien creatures obviously had intelligence and did not want to seek death in front of the crown prince. After a flutter of wings, they fled in all directions.

Lai An released the real crystal and slaughtered a few more, until the distance was out of reach, and then stopped to breathe slightly.

In the co-pilot's seat below, mecha soldier Wilson was complacent.

"His Royal Highness, how are you? As you can see, the officer is really the strongest mecha soldier in the empire. In terms of technology and cooperation, he will never be inferior to His Highness Jiang..."

"..."

Lai An squinted at the dark blue mecha below him.

He asked, "How old are you?"

——In this battle, under Jiang Jianming's suggestion, try to let Alan Wilson assist His Highness the Crown Prince in manipulating the mecha.Since the two of them didn't have enough time to get along, they even changed to a special type of mecha.

A-level mech, L-Gemini, adopts detachable dual-pilot cabins, and the main pilot can forcibly disengage.

This model was chosen by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself, and he said that he would reserve the right to kick the co-pilot away at any time; Jiang Jianming knew that this person was not a willful person on big festivals, so he let him go; Wilson's objection was invalid, so he could onlyThey chattered non-stop along the way.

"Yes, report to Your Highness, the next official will be forty-nine in two months, which is too early to retire! So the issue of the model..."

Lai An kicked the fuselage: "Don't make noise, next target."

...

Bang Bang Bang!!

On the second floor of the fortress, a series of loud noises suddenly sounded at a certain gap created by the bombing.

More than 20 high-level mechas switched from flying state to land state at the perfect timing, and the mechanical feet landed on the ground, setting off a cloud of snow and fog.

Raymond: "Report to Major General! Twenty-five people from the 13th Vanguard, including the captain, completed the landing at the expected coordinates!"

"Good job."

On the other side of the communication, Xie Yuduo's voice became hoarse with excitement, "Bring me back the main core of the fourth defense in the Eastern District!"

"yes!"

After hanging up the communication, Lieutenant Raymond greeted the team members: "Follow me, pay attention to vigilance."

Tang Zhen and the others raised the fender armor in front of the cockpit one after another, panting and looking around.The first fortress is already a familiar and unfamiliar scene.

The indicator lights are almost broken, and the surroundings are dark.Walls are collapsing, metal pipes are snapping, ceilings are dead, and wind and snow are whining in through holes.

The mechs rushed past with their searchlights on, and all they saw were traces of being bombed. The charred drones and the corpses of alien creatures were piled together.

Someone scolded a few words in the communication channel.Tang Zhen's nerves jumped suddenly, and he shouted without thinking: "Be careful, there is——"

In the darkness, several pairs of scarlet eyes suddenly lit up.

The searchlights swept over in unison, reflecting the outlines of alien creatures.

They have already entered the inside of the fortress, and the number seems to be quite a lot... Raymond gritted his teeth and cursed.

"Forcibly break through, rush over! Anyone who breaks through, run forward, and no one is allowed to turn back!"

This time, no one raised any doubts. Twenty-five mechas rushed forward at the same time, fighting with these alien creatures.

Bunches of white lights from the searchlights flickered randomly, the metallic muffled sound of the mech being hit one after another, and sometimes people's cries of pain and screams could be heard, all of which were finally submerged in the darkness.

Tang Zhen didn't know how he rushed out.When he stepped out of the cockpit to release the crystal bone, the tail of an unknown alien creature hit his chest.

The sound of bone cracking was crisp.In the severe pain, he stubbornly grabbed the guy's tail, dragged it to roll on the ground twice, and waited for the opportunity to split the unknown alien creature in half with the crystal bone.

More alien creatures rushed over, he pulled the new crystal weapon rifle he had been carrying and fired wildly, and rolled back into the mecha amid deafening hissing.

Now his mouth tastes like blood, and his whole body hurts.Tang Zhen was paralyzed in the cockpit panting heavily, with double images in front of his eyes and clear one after another.

He kept going.

Breaking out of this narrow darkness, the front is suddenly bright.

The fortress in this area was blown through from top to bottom, and snow and thick ice covered the surface.

I don't know when the dark clouds dispersed, and the dazzling sky light fell in bundles, reflecting on the ice and snow.

From a distance, Tang Zhen saw Lieutenant Raymond pushing open the cockpit door to pant, raised his head and shouted hoarsely: "How many people are there? Report their names!"

The voices of eleven people sounded one after another. Tang Zhen arrived last and also reported his name.

Including Raymond himself, there were a total of fifty vanguards, and only thirteen arrived here.

The last distance left.

As long as you reach the main defense core and manually complete the unlocking, charging and regulation, you can finely control the high-end defense weapons in this area.

Large troops can land, and the shields within a certain range can also be opened, and foreign enemies will be temporarily unable to crack them.

The mech ran past, and fresh bloodstains fell on the ice and snow.

From behind, alien creatures came densely.

Ahead, the figure of the mech appeared.

The Vanguard almost fell into despair.

But at the next moment, someone shouted in ecstasy: "Lieutenant, I saw the military emblem, the mecha is the golden sun wheel! Our people!"

Raymond suddenly raised his face, he quickly opened the military channel, and sent a communication request.

"Affiliate of the Silver Beidou First Army, Lieutenant Raymond, request for communication!"

The communication was picked up immediately, and there was a calm male voice on the other side:

"This is the reinforcements of Jin Rilun's branch in Aslan. I am Major Zheng Yue, acting in command. Please tell me."

Raymond's voice has become cloudy due to overuse, and it is still trembling:

"We are the thirteenth vanguard of the Silver Beidou Expeditionary Fleet, and we are carrying out the recapture mission according to the order of Major General Xie Yuduo... Request support, please cover us..."

There was no hesitation over there: "Okay. Go quickly and leave it to us later."

The mechas on both sides are moving at full speed.In just a few words, the vanguard team and the Jin Rilun mecha soldiers who came over passed by.

Tang Zhen suddenly opened his eyes wide.

The wind and snow seemed to stop at a thousandth of a second, and the sky was clear from top to bottom.

The time between life and death is as clean as the summer of Keos Military Academy, the swaying sun spots under the shade of trees.

Through the alloy glass of the cockpit, Tang Zhen saw a familiar figure sitting in the leading Jinrilun mecha.

The female soldier had short chestnut hair and firm and bright eyes.

In an instant, Tang Zhen's mind went blank.

When he came back to his senses, he had suddenly pushed open the cockpit door, turned his head and shouted: "Maner!?"

The female soldier turned her head in response, revealing a young and pretty face.

"Don..."

Bemaner said in a daze: "Young Master Tang?"

The wind howled past.They didn't even look at each other for a second, and the two mechas brushed each other and ran towards two different directions.

Bemaner twisted her body abruptly, ignoring the snow particles rushing towards her face.Tears fell all over her face, and she shouted with all her strength: "Tang Zhen——Tang Zhen!!"

Not that a reunion on the battlefield was never imagined.It's just that this wrong body, if it was really a farewell to life and death, she didn't even have time to see his face clearly.

A voice came from the ear.

"What are you shouting for, go?" Zheng Yue said.

Bemaner was stunned in a daze, and when she blinked, tears fell down.

Zheng Yue: "Still stunned, aren't you Yin Beidou? Go and act with them, we have enough manpower."

Bemaner shuddered, his eyes glowing.

She quickly wiped away her tears and smiled sweetly.

"Thank you, Uncle Zheng Yue."

"I'm not being polite to you, I'm leaving!"

Zheng Yue raised his eyebrows and hummed twice, watching this strong girl quickly chase after her.

Alien beings are very close.In mid-air not far away, Crystal Cult's mechs are also flying towards this side... Counting the time, the main force that was transferred should be back.

Major Zheng Yue cleared his throat.

"Okay, there is no need to talk nonsense. They are the silver spears of the empire, what are we?"

The soldiers of Jin Rilun responded with actions.

They lined up silently and quickly, forming a solid shield, blocking the back of the Yin Beidou vanguard.

Looking at this scene, Zheng Yue felt a surge of enthusiasm in his heart.

How strange, he thought.

Obviously, he once thought that the current Jinri Army is nothing more than a fallen sun, a rusty shield of the empire.

Obviously, your Excellency only agreed to him a while ago, and considered letting him enter the Yin Beidou that he had dreamed of.He was so happy then.

But now why do you feel that staying in Jinrilun seems to be a good idea?

Perhaps his brain was frozen by the ghostly weather of Alien Alpha, Zheng Yue lowered his head and smiled.

Then he took a deep breath, letting the cold wind travel around in his lungs before exhaling:

"—All Jinrilun, meet the enemy!!"

...

By the time Bemaner caught up with Tang Zhen and the others, the area where the main core was located could already be seen.

"Lieutenant Raymond," she yelled loudly, "I'm Bemaner, an officer in the Silver Beidou adaptation period, and I'm applying to rejoin the army!"

Raymond didn't expect to see this girl with a broken leg in the far interstellar, but now is not the time to ask.

"I can only give you temporary permission," Raymond said, "If you want to return to the team, you must first complete the mission and survive, and go to Major General Xie for approval, understand?"

"I know!" Bemaner answered neatly.

Tang Zhen's eye circles gradually turned red.He licked the blood on his lips and murmured softly, "What are you doing back here?"

In the distance are the sound of bombing and the cry of alien creatures.The mecha was running fast, and the wind in my ears was howling ghosts and wolves, it was too noisy.

"what!?"

Bemaner manipulated the mecha, and fired two cannonballs at the head of the alien creature blocking the way.Raising her voice, she yelled at Tang Zhen, "I can't hear—Young Master Tang, what did you say—"

Tang Zhen took a deep breath and yelled back: "I ask you——why did you come back to the distant interstellar——!"

"Oh, you ask that."

Bemaner's eyes sparkled, and she said loudly, "I like this place, so I'm coming back—!"

After she finished speaking, she raised her head and laughed, her short chestnut hair was covered with snow and was blown tousled like weeds by the wind, "You don't think—it's for you, do you?"

Tang Zhen stared at her blankly, and grinned involuntarily. The wound was involved again, and he frowned in pain.

At the corner ahead, a four-legged alien creature ran towards it with a strange posture, shaking its salivating fangs.

"Pay attention to the front right," Lieutenant Raymond said, "keep two people and solve it quickly!"

Tang Zhen shouted: "Let's do it!"

He and Bemaner exchanged glances, and jumped out of the cockpit at the same time.

The crystal bone flashed in the snow and smoke, like a double-strand sword unsheathed.
