Collapse Iron: My Past Life Revealed, I Was Everyone's White Moonlight
Chapter 296 The Price of War
The civil war in Grammer officially broke out at the Queen's command!
All the spectators outside the canopy were stunned by this sudden turn of events.
Before they could recover from Sam's poignant tenderness, they were dragged into this brutal civil war.
In the sky.
There was no attempt to persuade them to surrender, and no negotiation.
There was absolutely no buffer.
When Titania reappeared before the world.
She brought with her the Grammer cavalry's most thorough and ruthless revenge against the republic that had deceived them their entire lives.
The massive, sky-covering cavalry army turned its guns around.
They no longer charged towards the remaining insect swarms within their territory.
Instead, they launched the fiercest and most devastating retaliatory attacks against the republican cities they once regarded as their "home" and the republican parliaments they once regarded as their "compatriots"!
Meanwhile, the Republic's parliament building was in complete chaos.
The lawmakers stared in horror at the unstoppable iron cavalry on the screen, their faces drained of color.
"How could this happen? How could they betray us?!"
"What about their ideological imprint? Weren't they supposed to be absolutely loyal?!"
"Their thoughts are imprinted on the 'Empress'—the 'Empress' has betrayed us!"
"Quick! Think of something! We must stop them no matter what!"
The order was issued swiftly.
Every corner of the city.
Countless turrets, originally built to prevent the invasion of insect swarms, rose up, and a dense network of anti-aircraft fire instantly covered the entire sky.
A bloody civil war broke out in the heart of Grammer.
Ironclad's Firefly mechs clashed fiercely with the Republic's army in the air, lasers and missiles weaving a deadly net.
however.
The regular army that the Republic of Grammer was so proud of was utterly helpless against those fearless cavalrymen, who could even be said to have been born for battle.
The cavalry, piloting Firefly mechs with performance far exceeding their time, easily tore apart the hastily constructed defenses of the Republic's military like an unstoppable torrent of steel.
There was no fear or hesitation in their eyes, only absolute loyalty to the Queen.
The flames of war instantly engulfed the entire capital planet!
More importantly,
Without the iron cavalry to hold them off, the remaining insect swarm, which had been in a losing position, attacked again.
Civil war, Zerg swarm...
Explosions, fighting, screams...
It only took a few days.
The Grammer Civil War, which broke out starting from the capital planet, swept across the entire Grammer star system like a sudden storm.
Planets were ignited in an instant, and cities were reduced to ashes in a flash.
Countless people from the republic began to abandon their homes and flee.
The universe is wailing.
The stars are falling.
This war, fueled by lies and driven by betrayal, was doomed to have no winners from the very beginning.
It will only drag everything into the abyss of destruction.
The audience watching from outside the canopy felt their hearts pounding, and many even felt a sense of suffocation.
This is so tragic... so incredibly tragic...
[We just defeated the Zerg swarm, so why did things turn out like this...?]
Those bastards in the Republic's Parliament deserved to die! If it weren't for them, the Empress wouldn't have rebelled!
Sigh... I knew it would turn out this way, but seeing it with my own eyes... it's still too tragic.
This is war... No matter which side wins, it is always the ordinary people who ultimately suffer.
The Republic of Grammer deserved it! They should have known this day would come when they used their cavalry as mere tools!
But how are these cavalry any different from the Republic back then? When will this cycle of revenge end...?
[Get lost, you sanctimonious person upstairs! Try being fooled your whole life! You'd be merciful if you didn't scatter their ashes!]
Alas, war...
As outsiders, they cannot judge the right or wrong of this war.
They could only watch helplessly as a civilization that had just survived the "global locust plague"... rapidly headed towards destruction through internal strife.
Luofu, Changletian.
On the rooftop, everyone fell silent.
The brutality of this civil war exceeded their expectations.
March 7 and Xing, who were already saddened by Sam's separation from Firefly, looked even more somber as they watched.
I've completely lost the mood I had before when I was just watching the drama unfold.
"Is this the price of war... for revenge?" March 7 murmured.
Walter adjusted his glasses and sighed, "When the seeds of hatred are sown, they will only bear more bloody fruit."
Even if Titania and the Iron Knights win the war, they may... forever lose the chance to become "human".
He has witnessed too many wars.
but……
Walter sighed inwardly.
Every time he witnesses this tragedy of internal strife within civilization... he still feels a sense of powerless sorrow.
Tingyun, standing to the side, smiled as she looked at the sea of fire in the sky: "Perhaps for them..."
"Destroying the cage that imprisoned them their whole lives...is more important than anything else."
And under the roof.
Lu Li stared blankly at the hellish scene in the sky, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
"Holy crap... that's incredible..."
Although he had read the background story about the Grammer Civil War in the game.
But written descriptions are far less impactful than witnessing it firsthand.
This is... war.
Cold, cruel, and devoid of any warmth.
In the sky, the battle had reached a fever pitch.
The Grammer cavalry, these weapons born for war, displayed unparalleled and terrifying combat power on the battlefield.
The Republic's regular army was like a flock of lambs to the slaughter, retreating in disarray before them.
The defensive line was torn apart instantly, and the fleet was destroyed in large numbers.
The balance of power was tilted in one direction from the very beginning.
Despair enveloped the entire republic.
Inside an underground meeting room.
The lawmakers who once held themselves high and mighty, treating the cavalry as mere tools and expendable resources, are now finally tasting the bitterness of fear.
They discovered this to their horror.
What will destroy them is not the swarm of insects, but the "ultimate weapon" they themselves created.
Panic spread among the top echelons of the Republic.
They held one emergency meeting after another, trying to find a way to turn the tide.
But each time it ended in arguments and finger-pointing.
And today.
With the fall of the last planet besides the capital.
In the conference room, all the members of the Republic sat in their seats with deathly pale faces.
"We've lost...we've been utterly defeated..."
"That monster Titania, she's too strong... The Iron Cavalry Legion simply can't stop her."
"Are we just supposed to sit here and wait to die?"
"I told you not to attack the cavalry yet, the war just ended, but you didn't listen. Now look what happened!"
"That's ridiculous. Didn't you vote in favor last time too? And I remember that the 'Empress' dumped the body of one of your grandsons at your door a year ago. You're probably the one who hates her the most, aren't you?"
"This... let's keep things separate!"
"Oh, so it seems your grandson is like a stray dog in your eyes, and it doesn't matter if he dies, right?"
"What did you say?!"
