Poverty makes me capable of anything.

traitor……

WKQNMD!

Byrd was furious. If it weren't for this traitor, would he have faced this crisis? He had thought he could easily reap the rewards.

Steamed bun slices!

Grass!

Why are there traitors everywhere?

"Major, we're about to collapse. If the shield breaks, the entire hover station will be finished."

The urgent report made Byrd extremely anxious, and his previously relaxed mood vanished.

The colonel ordered me to hold the position for thirty minutes. How am I supposed to do that?

My men are telling me to find a way to protect the shield, but how am I supposed to do that?

You're making things difficult for me. I'm just a major, how can I possibly take care of all three of you?

"You guys should aim a little more accurately! If you intercept the live ammunition beforehand, we can hold out a little longer!"

"I always tell you guys to practice more, but you never do it!!"

"Damn it, I missed again!"

"Let's all just wait to die, there's no hope!"

"..."

The soldiers maintaining the artillery shell array immediately stopped what they were doing, and four or five of them stared at Byrd, who was complaining as if chanting a sutra.

I always felt that the major's eyes were full of confidence and wisdom.

Unexpectedly, when faced with a life-or-death situation, he turned out to be mentally challenged.

Are the shells and lasers from your anti-aircraft array fired by us? Aren't they controlled by an intelligent system? If they were controlled by humans, how could they react so quickly?

This person's thinking has gone terribly wrong!

Everyone realized this.

It's better to rely on yourself than on him.

The Imperial soldiers are of good quality, especially the nine expeditionary forces. They have never been idle over the years. Even when there is peace between countries, fighting pirates and void creatures can serve as excellent training for the troops.

boom!

"Damn it, that last hit hit a weak spot. If it gets attacked again, it could very well be pierced through."

The soldiers stationed in the hovering station felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

If the shields break, they will be like ants with no power to resist in front of the naval cannons. A desperate pounce and bite might cause the rebels a little pain, but they will soon be crushed.

After waiting anxiously for a full minute, the intense naval gunfire suddenly disappeared.

"How is this going?"

"Could it be that the attacking force has already broken through the flank?"

"Perhaps the ambush has already surrounded us from behind!"

"In any case, now that the shelling from the other side has stopped, we can hold out a little longer."

"call--"

Byrd let out a long breath, his anxious expression turning ferocious: "What are you all standing there for? Counterattack! Fight! Fight them hard! Leave all these rebels here to die! Don't let a single one escape!"

Ugh... Pshaw!

Muttering a few words of displeasure to himself, the soldiers didn't dare to refute him. After adjusting the parameters of the air defense array, it was once again a scene of "ten thousand cannons firing at once".

Comfortable!

Feeling incredibly comfortable after surviving the ordeal, as if he had entered a state of sagehood, Byrd contacted the liaison officer again.

"Colonel Baird, I just needed to contact you. Get the ground troops ready immediately. Remember, there are no reinforcements this time. Whether you can hold out depends on yourselves."

ha?

He wanted to ask why the rebels had stopped attacking, but Baird's heart skipped a beat when he heard the liaison officer's serious words.

"Could it be..."

"The rebel central command has begun its amphibious assault. Although it's unclear why they're carrying out such a suicide attack, I can only wish Major Byrd good luck!"

"Don't hang up!"

Holy crap! It was too late after all.

As the liaison officer disappeared from the screen, Byrd's face froze like a zombie.

Ground troops, prepare to engage!

After passing on the order, Byrd slumped into his seat.

All talk about accumulating merits and taking another step forward is fake, fake!

The claim that you can hold out for 30 minutes is all a lie, a complete fabrication!

A flood of thoughts rushed through his mind; even the most fragile things can unleash extraordinary power in a moment of desperate struggle.

The massive warship appeared high in the sky, cutting through the night, and the air defense arrays could hardly withstand the Night Owl's desperate attack.

Amid the gradually thinning artillery fire, enormous robots leaped down from the sky, one after another.

Although some were blown up during their descent, many more robots broke through the artillery fire and landed on the ground.

"Charge!"

The shield is already very fragile; if it is subjected to another impact like this, it will shatter very quickly.

The ground armored forces of the Sixth Expeditionary Force went straight to meet them.

The intense collision between metals.

Whether it was turreted armored vehicles or agile mechs, the expeditionary force soldiers initially thought their technology would have the upper hand, but once they engaged in battle, they realized they were wrong.

"boom!"

Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well die with some dignity!

At some point, Byrd piloted a Knight Original model mech that was nearly 20 meters tall and charged out of the position.

"I will lead the charge!"

A specially made long spear pierced through one of the rebel robots.

He was once a member of the academy's mecha department.

"Charge! Charge! Charge!"

"Is that Major Baird?" the soldier behind him exclaimed in shock.

It was as if I had seen a ghost.

That mech, as agile as a spinning top, was actually piloted by a major whose thinking had gone awry.

"He's the commander, why are you rushing in at this time..."

"As expected, there's something wrong with his thinking."

With a wry smile, one of the pilots, who had just sat down in the mech, shouted, "For the Empire! To the death!"

Boom boom boom—

They strode forward and charged toward the most intense battleground!

"Fight to the death!"

Euler!

……

Boom!

Explosions could still be heard behind us, but after getting this far away, the sounds were very faint.

Fortunately, Anran and Ella escaped quickly enough, otherwise the aftershocks of that level of laser bombardment would have been enough to give them a hard time.

"We've finally caught up."

From the side and rear, the burly man driving the vehicle sped along and finally caught up with An Ran.

I initially thought An Ran had finally shown her true colors, but it turns out she has no intention of running away at all. The spaceship's docking point is just over 20 kilometers ahead.

"Where are the others?" An Ran asked, turning around.

At this point, the burly man sighed: "Five of them died."

We should be thankful that most people survived.

An Ran ignored them, because the dark-skinned little girl she was holding started making a fuss again.

"You pervert, put me down right now."

"Woooo..."

"Don't think that just because you saved me you can do whatever you want to me!"

If it weren't for the fact that her favorability rating had already increased from the teens to 42, An Ran would have wanted to beat her up; what a restless brat.

However, Ella, who couldn't see the favorability rating, wasn't so polite and directly covered Qianqian's mouth.

"What an impolite brat!"

“Waaah…” She stared at Ella, her anger barely contained.

Hehehe.

You can't beat me at all! Ella thought.

"..."

An Ran landed safely near the defense line. Flying in directly like that would be too conspicuous. To avoid unnecessary trouble, An Ran went in with the strong and muscular man. As soon as they entered, they noticed that the atmosphere here was a bit strange.

"What's going on?" the burly man asked.
