The cavalrymen all raised their heads in unison, looking at the vast chasm shrouded in darkness ahead.

next moment.

All that could be seen was the shadow of a vast rift valley.

A shadow as large as a mountain was slowly... emerging from its body.

Countless scarlet compound eyes gleamed with greed, and their ferocious mouthparts exuded a bloodthirsty aura.

The terrifying sense of oppression even made the Iron Cavalry wearing Firefly mechs feel suffocated.

Queen swarm!

The root of all insect swarms on this planet!

The audience outside the canopy gasped in shock when they saw this enormous creature; their hearts were in their throats.

[My God... what... what kind of monster is this?!]

This thing is even bigger than the previous giant true stinging insect!

[This is way too...big...how am I supposed to fight it?!]

It's over...it's completely over...

[Firefly, run!]

[I really don't understand! Grammer has already been destroyed, and the Queen has even disbanded the Iron Riders, so why are they still fighting the Zerg?]

[Sigh, perhaps... this is the Grammer Knights for you. Even if they gain "freedom"... they'll still believe that fighting is what they're meant to do.]

next moment.

"roar--!!!!!"

The mother insect let out a piercing scream that shook the heavens and the earth.

Swarms of insects burst forth from beneath the mother insect, coalescing into torrents of black energy that surged madly toward the surviving cavalrymen on the battlefield from all directions!

The scene... was like the end of the world.

Meanwhile, on the other side, fireflies...

The few cavalrymen at the forefront didn't even have time to react before they were instantly engulfed by the black torrent.

"Snap! Snap!"

"Bang bang bang—!"

The Firefly IV mech on Iron Cavalry was like paper under that terrifying impact, instantly shattered into pieces!

Those few cavalrymen lowered their heads helplessly, knelt on the ground, and fell silent.

Liu Ying and the others watched helplessly as their companions died tragically, but they had no time to grieve.

Because even more insects were swarming towards them!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Scatter! Open fire!"

The female captain of the leading cavalry roared angrily.

The surviving cavalrymen reacted immediately, forming a small defensive formation back to back, and began to unleash a barrage of firepower on the swarming insects.

All the iron cavalry, including the Firefly, sprang into action once more, advancing laboriously toward the mother insect.

But... there were just too many bugs.

So many it's despairing.

Their barrage of firepower was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in the face of the endless swarm of insects.

The mechs of the Iron Cavalry were constantly being torn apart and falling.

……

The buzzing sound of the explosion filled my ears.

Before them lay the relentless onslaught of ferocious insectoids.

Surrounding me are my comrades, whose numbers are gradually decreasing as the campaign progresses.

But the firefly showed no sadness; it simply continued to breathe heavily and numbly punch.

How much time has passed since that day?

The fireflies didn't know.

How long can I live if I keep participating in wars like this?

Even the fireflies didn't know.

All she knew was that...

If Sam saw her looking so dejected, he would definitely give her a good scolding, right?

Not right either.

Because her gentle brother Sam would never scold her, and he never did.

Therefore, I should comfort her and quietly accompany her to get through the dark period, right?

But even Sam, that brother... is no longer here.

Therefore, she could only numbly continue throwing punches and killing while wearing this white mask.

Then we continued.

He longed to numb himself with brutal fighting, to prevent himself from facing... that cruel reality.

And what if I actually die in battle?

Maybe...

Sam...brother...

However, at that moment...

"Who else is alive? Cover my approach to the mother insect!"

In the communicator.

The roar from the female captain who had saved Liu Ying earlier seemed to slightly awaken Liu Ying, who was just numbly throwing punches.

The firefly closest to her instinctively replied, "Yes!"

The female captain no longer hesitated.

She took out a remote control with a bright red button from her waist and shoved it into Liuying's hand.

"Take it!"

Liu Ying instinctively took it.

She was stunned when she saw the virtual screen that popped up on the remote control.

Beneath the mask, the previously numb gaze became clearer.

Because what was displayed on the screen was...

"This is..." Liu Ying looked at the female captain.

But the female captain didn't give Liuying any time to ask questions.

"Start immediately upon seeing the signal!"

After she finished speaking, she did not hesitate for a moment, and the thrusters on her back burst out with maximum power.

He transformed into a streak of light and charged straight towards the mother worm, which was as huge as a mountain, without fear of death!

The surviving iron cavalry let out their final roars, unleashing all their firepower upon the swarm of insects.

They began to cover the female captain as she charged towards the mother insect.

Upon seeing the female captain's resolute back, the audience outside the canopy instantly understood her intention.

Although it's unclear what method the female captain intended to use.

But clearly... she wanted to perish together with the mother insect!

No! Please don't!

Is she trying to take the mother insect down with her?!

They've gone mad! They've all gone mad!

But... facing that number of enemies, this seems to be the only way...

[Grammer is destroyed, and they have nothing left to protect, so why are they still working so hard to kill these bugs? Waaaaah...]

[Firefly, the female captain... the end of the Iron Cavalry... it's too tragic, it's heartbreaking, I can't bear to watch anymore...]

The audience's hearts tightened as they watched this scene on the screen.

But they could only watch helplessly as that tiny figure, like a small boat in the endless swarm of insects, resolutely rushed towards the center of the destructive storm.

Luofu, Changletian.

March 7th and Xing hugged each other tightly, their eyes fixed on the sky.

Walter, Fu Xuan, and the others also looked solemn.

They could all see it.

This is probably... the final charge in this battle.

……

In the sky.

Under the cover of Liu Ying and the others, the female captain's mech, like a drawn sword, tore through the layers of insect veil and headed straight for the giant mother insect.

One hundred meters!

Fifty meters!

Thirty meters!

Victory is within reach!

however.

Just as she finally dove the swarm of insects with a somersault and landed on the ground, close to the mother insect and within her attack range.

Sudden.

"Pfft—!"

Before anyone could react.

Without warning, a thick, grotesque limb covered in black armor suddenly shot out from the ground, instantly piercing through the female captain who had just landed and lifting her into the air!

"!"

The firefly, who was desperately providing cover fire for her from a distance, suddenly constricted its pupils.
