Him and their stars.

Chapter 1991: Overly Vigorous Rebels

Mota's troops had to pass through the main passage of the fortress's central axis, occupy at least two of the three main elevator shafts, and then go down one more level before they could reach their destination.

As for William, his journey was much smoother. With the help of the Bifang robot, even the occupation operations of the engineers who were advancing with the team were much faster.

They manually entered the new operating system into the control terminal array, implanted new control permissions, and worked hard to make the fortress's various defense facilities have the flavor of Earthlings.

The battle in the main system life support control room was perhaps the most intense. The few imperial defenders had already guessed what would happen if this place was lost, and they could only grit their teeth and fight to the death.

Friendly forces from several neighboring areas also rushed to support after destroying the armored gates that blocked the road at all costs.

However, as we all know, in close combat inside the fortress, psychics can do whatever they want. Moreover, they are experienced killers led by Colonel Walter.

They were old subordinates who had followed the Marshal during the "Snake Slaying Operation" and had participated in every major war since then. Naturally, they were all experienced heroes. For them, such an intense battle was not easy, but it was definitely a breeze.

Yes! All the psykers were captured by Madam and Miss Sword Saint at the cruise ship terminal, leaving us with not even enough soup. It's so lonely!

Colonel Mina Walter used a move similar to the Iron Mountain Backing to knock away a land artillery turret and a shield formation consisting of a platoon of grenadiers, but she really felt that everything was boring.

In the 1th minute after the Slon Summer entered Fortress No. 78, the fortress's main life support control room was lost.

Theoretically, the oxygen, water, electricity, heating and even septic tanks of the 500,000 defenders in the fortress and more than 100,000 non-military management and technical personnel are all under the control of the earthlings.

After all, the Earth soldiers are not devils, and they won't inject VX gas through the air-conditioning system or anything like that, but they will definitely not be polite when it comes to hypnosis.

Except for the civilian area in Zone F of the fortress, almost all the isolated cabins were heavily injected with hypnotic gas.

Of course, such a large imperial fortress with such important functions would not be at the mercy of others just because one control room was taken away.

At this time, the Empire's defenders still showed unprecedented bravery. Unable to wear mechas, they simply wrapped themselves in power suits and gas masks and squeezed into the ventilation ducts, trying to manually close various sealed cabins and cut off the circulation path through which the hypnotic gas might flow.

However, we all know that narrow ventilation ducts are often the domain of small combat robots. Face-hugging and head-turning kills like those in horror movies are often staged in the passages.

Therefore, a large amount of paralysis gas eventually flowed into each compartment. Even the grenadiers wearing mechas could not completely protect themselves from this pervasive nerve paralysis toxin.

Fortress No. 1 of the Gate of Glory is gradually losing its resistance.

If Fortress No. 1 was like being implanted with viruses by the Summer invaders, then now, these viruses have finally spread to the fortress's important "organs", cut off its nerves, and began to spread in all directions.

In the short half hour that followed, more than half of the Imperial defenders fell into a chaotic sleep, and the rest struggled to resist the poison and tried hard to break out of the narrow cells that isolated them.

It would take all their strength just to escape, so it was only natural that they would be attacked by the enemy.

The troops led by Deng Zhengqing successfully arrived at the fortress headquarters without encountering much resistance.

The guards here put up a resolute and heroic resistance, but it was actually meaningless. After their defenses collapsed under the assault of the psychics and robots, they faced only a one-sided massacre.

In the end, when most of the grenadiers of the two regiments of the garrison headquarters were killed and the senior officers who stayed behind also suffered heavy casualties, the deputy commander of Fortress No. 1, who was half-dead in the explosion, still struggled to wave the white flag with his only remaining hand.

At the 117th minute after the Slen Summer cruise ship landed at the fortress, the Glory Gate Fortress headquarters was lost, and most of the fortress's senior officers were taken prisoner.

As the troops entered the command center, hundreds of technicians took over the main control terminal array, restarted the central control system, and prepared to completely transform this space city into the shape of Earthlings.

The only one that encountered a small accident was the army led by Andro Motta. Before they arrived at the main gun control room, they encountered a group of imperial troops.

However, this was just what Deng Zhengqing had expected.

After all, Mota's marching route is the longest and takes the longest time, so there is always the possibility of various accidents.

"So, you encountered a psychic?" Deng Zhengqing in the headquarters also received the latest intelligence.

Banner said, "He was a Wolverine, probably just an unawakened sensitive. He used his telekinesis to bounce back the grenade we threw, injuring several soldiers."

After Banner's engineering team took control of the life support system and the main energy reactor, he quickly led the team to support Mota, and just happened to catch up with the battle in front of the main gun control room. That should be considered a very promising sensitive person, and becoming a ring is just around the corner.

However, to be honest, the Wolverines are a strong and fighting race with mediocre psychic talent. It is actually quite rare to have such a sensitive person.

It still couldn't change any major trends. For this rookie who started showing off his power after mastering a little bit of supernatural power, the army of "mortals" had many ways to deal with him.

Since he could deflect grenades, he wondered if he could deflect shells and cannonballs? What if it was a dense rain of bullets from a Vulcan cannon?

"The psychic was then beaten to death by Andro's fist."

Well, this way of winning was beyond Deng Zhengqing's expectations.

"…Killed by punching?"

"Yes, a venomous bee missile suddenly shot out from his fist and flew directly into the mouth of the Wolverine."

The Venom Bee missile is only the size of a pencil and has always been the most powerful individual weapon for robbery, murder and arson.

Deng Zhengqing was stunned for a moment. He was also a descendant of a famous martial arts family, so he naturally did not like such unethical operations. However, he was also a veteran who had fought on the battlefield for many years, and of course he understood that he had to do everything he could on the battlefield.

"He said he learned this from Miss Neil. It's one of the 19 Iron Fist styles of their Brotherhood of Omnics. I think all cyborgs might be drawn in this style, and we just need to adapt to it."

Deng Zhengqing said he has adapted well.

Besides, now was not the time to worry about it. He had already received a message from the Silence: a large number of imperial warships were charging towards the back of the fortress in an indomitable and mighty manner.

The Imperial Army's judgment seemed to be correct. Even with the performance of the Silence, it could defend one side of the fortress with artillery fire, but it could not provide a three-dimensional and all-round defense for such a large space city.

"We need to restore control of the main gun as soon as possible." Banner said.

"It will take about 20 minutes," Andro Motta reported.

Deng Zhengqing was still very satisfied with this time limit. However, as I said before, everything was as expected.

"Enemy reinforcements will land. This is unavoidable, but we will take the lead in restoring the central control authority of the fortress. You just need to be prepared..." He was about to say something like "Hold on firmly, there will be a way", but his subordinates told him that they had received a communication request from the F area of ​​the fortress, which is the civilian area.

Deng Zhengqing thought about it for a moment and remembered Yu Lian’s reminder before they set out.

He gestured to connect the communication to his personal terminal, and walked to a secluded place before answering. On the small screen that only he could see, a young man in his thirties appeared. He was wearing a silver-gray suit and stood at attention, with a calm and capable temperament. Anyone who saw him would think that he was a typical outstanding bureaucrat of the empire, and a young elite who was qualified to advance to the Prime Minister's Office.

"Mr. Ai Meng?" Deng Zhengqing asked.

"Sir." He saluted slightly and got straight to the point: "Taking advantage of the chaos just now, my subordinates have sneaked to the outer edge of Area D and controlled 34 close-in defense guns."

Area D is the (relative) back side of the fortress, and is also the direction from which the newly arrived Imperial fleet is preparing to attack.

Even though Deng Zhengqing was very careful in his work and had made all the possible plans, he never expected such a development to happen.

He was a serious and progressive soldier, not a demon. He only sealed off the external access to the civilian area of ​​Zone F to prevent accidents. He did not cut off the water and electricity, nor did he send hypnotic gas inside. He also knew that there was a rebel organization operating there.

However, it is a bit too dynamic for the rebel organization to have made it all the way to Area D.

At this moment, he remembered that he vaguely heard the Countess say that the "People's Unity" led by Mr. Ai Meng was different from other rebel organizations.

As for what exactly was the difference, Deng Zhengqing finally understood a little.

"The imperial reinforcements have entered the defensive range. Please cancel the firing authority of the artillery in Area D." Mr. Ai Meng said anxiously: "If you need to consult the leader...if you need to consult General Yu, please do it as soon as possible."

What did the leader say? Deng Zhengqing was a little concerned, but now was not the time to pay attention to such things.

He said decisively: "The firing authority of Area F will be lifted within one minute! Good luck!"
