Him and their stars

At this time, the defensive forts in Kerna City that were still resisting were knocked out one by one by the Thirteenth Fleet. A fortress in Nuoda has been completely disarmed and can only allow foreign enemies to do whatever they want. The Venice has become the front of the entire fleet, releasing one assault landing craft after another.

According to the tactical plan formulated by Brother Yawata in advance, all marine troops will conduct a direct assault directly at the port location. On the one hand, the relatively open dock allows for the maximum deployment of troops; on the other hand, it can also quickly capture the biggest prize in the fortress, the imperial shipyard; on the other hand, this is also the peripheral area with the shortest straight line distance from the core of the fortress. .

Ever since, the attack on the fortress has indeed entered the final stage. But at this time, the only ones who can really be regarded as resisting are the two to three hundred imperial soldiers near the port area.

Almost all of them huddled near the shipyard, not daring to confront the enemy who was about to land.

There was no way. A small number of troops had tried to establish a defense line at the wider port, but they got mixed up with the pirates who wanted to escape. After a chaotic battle, even the armored gate of the port had no time to close.

Immediately afterwards, they were all torn into pieces by the intensive suppressive firepower of the assault ship that came close to shoot.

The first batch of four assault landing craft broke into the port directly without any resistance. One of them charged too hard and directly hit an unlucky pirate ship. This was probably the only ship damaged.

More than three hundred of the most elite militia soldiers were the first batch of commandos to enter the battlefield. These young soldiers born in New Seville received military training every year to deal with bandits passing through the border and the violent natives of the planet. They really did not expect that one day they would fight against the regular army of the empire. If it were normal times, they would probably be panicked and demoralized.

However, in a week of continuous battles, the Thirteenth Fleet was invincible in the entire Far Shore Nebula. It was like entering an uninhabited land, and even such a large Imperial warship was able to flee. The high morale of the entire fleet certainly infected them.

At least during this period, the New Seville militia really regarded themselves as part of this victorious army.

Now, their blood is surging, their fighting spirit is high, and they really feel that the empire is nothing more than this.

At least in terms of morale, they now have the qualities to become a strong army. Of course this is probably just an illusion, similar to the illusion that I am the protagonist and she likes me.

However, as long as you are not taught how to behave by a powerful enemy for a short period of time, who can say that such an illusion will not come true one day?

But now, the only imperial army in this fortress that can teach them how to behave has been almost destroyed by continuous sudden blows.

The militia soldiers who had just disembarked from the ship, without waiting for any orders, shot and killed all moving targets within sight, including pirates and imperial soldiers. Looking at their numbers, it was obvious that they regarded these enemies as the bloodthirsty fish monsters in their hometown.

The soldiers quickly passed the Star Port Terminal in the first stage and exited the gate. When they saw it, they saw the forked roads on both sides of the passage. One side led to the shipyard and the other side led to the inner "business district".

The militiamen hesitated for nearly half a minute, until "Colonel" Lilia Alfonso, who was wearing power armor, followed from behind, sneered three times, and pressed the pistol with a sullen face.

Several veterans looked at each other, smiled, and quickly led the recruits towards the shipyard.

Subsequently, the second batch of landing troops also arrived, consisting of the remaining seven or eight militia soldiers and more than two hundred people composed of Eleanor's security personnel from each ship.

At this moment, the people on earth had completely occupied the military advantage in the fortress.

However, they finally encountered stubborn resistance for the first time at the connecting channel outside the shipyard.

The defenders inside the shipyard are more than two hundred imperial officers and soldiers, composed of fortress security personnel and officers and non-commissioned officers of the 24th. In addition, there are two big figures trapped here, one each for the Vice Admiral and the Marquis.

There were originally nearly 3,000 Bakvi bird sailors on board the 24th. However, after getting off the boat, these birdmen were sent to the city. These ordinary sailors were originally brought by the empire as a cover. They did the most common chores on the ship, and it was impossible for them to have access to core technologies.

The people of Bakvi are naturally more happy to have a leisure time, so they should take a big vacation for themselves.

However, when the riots really spread to the whole city, it is not known how many of these Bakvi people who lack martial virtue once they get off the boat can find an organization, how many of them can rise up to resist, and how many of them can escape. Born in heaven.

Regarding this issue, Marquis Odegaard, who was organizing resistance in the shipyard, had some regrets. If those birdmen are not allowed to disband, even if they are allowed to move bricks in the shipyard, can't they be used as cannon fodder at this time?

The Marquis shook his head in his mind and loaded the gun with bullets with deft movements. After waiting for two seconds, he suddenly appeared from behind the temporary bunker and shot, killing an Earth gunner who was operating a small phaser cannon. Then he fired again. It was three consecutive precise bursts of fire, killing two machine gunners and a Stormtrooper sergeant respectively.

The person with the highest status present went to the front line of the battlefield, which was quite exciting. Coupled with the heroic performance of this noble man, the imperial soldiers who were cornered gave out a cry, holding crystal swords and power axes. He rushed forward and actually forced the militia soldiers, who had the advantage, out of the passage.

Some soldiers who were red-eyed wanted to continue charging, but Lieutenant General Tadan shouted back. The veteran's prestige in the fortress was still very high, and his men's heads calmed down with just one order.

His judgment was correct. Lilia had already guessed that the imperial soldiers were not easy to chew, and had already deployed a second fire network behind the passage.

In any case, the imperial army repelled the attack, but as the commanders, Marquis Odegaard and Lieutenant General Tadan, neither of them smiled. They all know that they can't hold on no matter what.

Thinking of this, Tadan said: "You have proved that Marquis Odegaard's military reputation is no longer necessary to stay here. We have just repaired the emergency passage and can evacuate from there... I just checked, the port number is The secret hangar in Area 21 has not been discovered by the people on Earth. There is also a shuttle there. If you are lucky, it will be enough for you to pass through the nebula and reach the territory of the Baqwe Republic."

Marquis Odegaard looked at the old Angman Lieutenant General without saying a word, until the latter's eyes wandered a bit.

It was just a small to medium-sized high-speed transportation boat that could only carry a maximum of twenty people. The boat was small and thin-skinned. What's more, it was a very typical imperial cruise ship, with a gorgeous streamlined triangular design, which was very popular among the upper echelons of the empire.

The Earthling fleet is now guarding the door. They may be too lazy to chase the pirate ships that occasionally escape from the fire blockade, but how could they let go of such an obvious target?

"We can't leave." The Marquis smiled calmly: "I just realized it now... Our opponents, after learning about our existence from Colmo, set up such a dragnet. Our new ship, our Kerna City, and all of us, they will not let us go. Now that we are all forced into this situation, we should stop begging our opponents to show mercy at the last moment."

"...Eleanor Bonaparte! The saint of Tulon, I have heard a little about her reputation. Although she is a woman, she is indeed a resolute and decisive general, but I never expected that she has such a strategy!" Lieutenant General Tadan Then he laughed self-deprecatingly: "Oh, it's all the old man's fault. If I hadn't been smart, I probably wouldn't have been forced into this situation."

Marquis Odegaard looked at the other party a little worriedly. Although the old man was calmly performing his duties as a leader just now, his mental state was deteriorating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But he really had nothing to say about this kind of problem.

At this time, he heard footsteps, and saw his first mate, Lieutenant Colonel Rhea from Wolfgang, wearing an exodynamic skeleton appearing in front of him. In addition, the security director, first boatswain and several others on the ship are also wearing armor.

They are the most capable officers on the ship.

"Your Excellency, we have already debugged your heraldry machine," said First Officer Rhea.

Marquis Odegaard looked at them without saying a word.

"...Although we are not psychics, we will definitely be able to keep up with you and guard your back even if we risk our lives."

The Marquis glanced at everyone and could see the determination to die in almost everyone's eyes.

"With you piloting the heraldic machine and us as the assault force, we may be able to penetrate the enemy's formation. If we can defeat the enemy's landing force and recapture the central control room of the fortress, we may be able to regain the balance of power and seek negotiations with the other party!" Rhea said again.

As a qualified imperial officer, of course he is not just thinking about serving the country by dying. He still has to consider the destination star. Although this tactical purpose is a bit taken for granted, in this desperate situation, there is no better choice.

The Marquis pondered for a moment, as if he had made a huge determination, and said in a decisive tone as if he was forced to sell his daughter to a human trafficker: "Give me an ordinary power armor. As for the crimson machine...explosion Drop it, don’t leave a single screw!”

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency?"

"What I said again is that we can't count on cunning enemies to be stupid at this time. Since they are here, of course they will take my combat effectiveness into consideration. How could they not leave three or four opponents wearing heraldic machines waiting for me? ? If I make any mistake, the most important alchemical weapon of the empire will fall into the hands of the community." At this point, he laughed at himself again: "The heraldic machine was prepared by us pretentious nobles, but it has not been installed. Self-destruct program.”

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief for a moment, even Lieutenant General Tadan was stunned.

"...Our Trial No. 24 and the one still under construction should be blown up too! General, do you understand what I mean?"
