ultimate cannon fodder

When the last mecha was shot down, Ma Qianli stood in mid-air and looked down at the earth. His heart was full of mixed feelings and infinite emotion.

As far as the eye can see, it is devastated. There are traces of violent explosions everywhere. The flames are burning. The billowing black smoke covers half of the sky. Only half of many towering buildings are left. They are crumbling. It seems that they will collapse at any time. Possibility of collapse. In the ruins, the surviving people gradually came out of their hiding places. Their faces and bodies still bore traces of war. The gunpowder smoke had not been completely wiped away. Blood was also seeping out of the bandages. They looked at the corpses with numb expressions. Clean them out. Whether they are human corpses or Lycan corpses, they are all mixed together and piled into hills. Then they are set on fire.

After dozens of days of life and death tests, I saw many bloody and broken corpses. Even the most fragile people have gradually become stronger in their mental endurance. They have become numb to pain and fear.

The Dragon Whisperer and the federal soldiers sat on the ground and gasped. Some smoked cigarettes. Some gathered together and chatted wordlessly. Occasionally, they made a few jokes about women, which would cause a burst of laughter. But the laughter soon fell silent. His eyes could not help but cast towards the mountains of corpses that were getting higher and higher. Their expressions were extremely complicated.

For people who are used to fighting for realms, the scene in front of them is no stranger. But when it happens in their own homeland, the feeling is completely different. Everyone will inevitably wonder in their hearts whether this is the so-called retribution.

There are also some engineers wandering around the battlefield, looking for and collecting valuable mecha fragments for subsequent research.

Anyone who has experienced the power of mecha warriors will have a strong interest in the mechas they wear. If they can be thoroughly studied and copied, it will undoubtedly greatly enhance the strength of the dragon whisperer. However, mecha warriors are often very powerful. Every time a Dragon Whisperer is destroyed, a very heavy price must be paid. The mecha will also be severely damaged, with only some fragments left. They can only collect as many fragments as possible, hoping to get inspiration from them and find out the mystery. .

Ma Qianli fell slowly. His heart was very heavy. After several days of fierce fighting, they achieved a huge victory. The mechas alone destroyed dozens of them. The results were brilliant, but the battle losses were also astonishingly high. There was no need for post-war statistics. He knew at a glance that the attrition was at least more than half. What's even more terrible is that after the fierce battle, the city was extremely damaged. 70% of the warehouses were destroyed and 50% of the arsenal was severely damaged. Logistical pressure will inevitably become increasingly prominent. and severe.

This is war.

"Kaka." A sound of footsteps came over. Ma Qianli didn't look back and knew it was Liu Yan. He asked aloud: "Have the battle damage statistics been calculated?"

"Come out..." There was a dark cloud hanging over Liu Yan's eyebrows. She was also hesitant to speak. At this time, she was completely different from the past. First of all, her long black and shiny hair had been cut into short pieces. There was a smile on her face. There was a strong smell of gunpowder smoke. The armor on his body was also badly damaged. Even the tight-fitting protective clothing underneath was exposed.

After several dangerous and fierce battles, her combat power finally achieved a breakthrough and she was successfully promoted to B-level. Coupled with her superb combat skills, even a B+ level dragon whisperer did not dare to say that she would be her opponent. . She is rarely seen on the frontal battlefield. However, many high-level Wolf Stars have repeatedly died in her hands. She is like an elusive killer. She will escape immediately after killing her, waiting for someone to strike again. Yes. You can often see ferocious-looking high-level wolves killing people mercilessly, but suddenly they cover their wounds and slowly fall down. They don't even see who was killed.

"Say." Ma Qianli said in a deep voice. There was no expression on his face. But the hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched tightly into fists. Even his nails were dug into his flesh.

Liu Yan took a deep breath and said: "17 B-level dragon whisperers were killed, 6 were seriously injured, and 81 were slightly injured; 249 C-level dragon whisperers were killed, 129 were seriously injured, and 954 were slightly injured..."

Listening to those heavy numbers, Ma Qianli's heart almost bleeds. The muscles on his face twitch and twist uncontrollably. More than two-thirds of the Dragon Whisperers affiliated to the Military and Political Department are distributed in various realms. After the invasion of the Wolf Stars, Although some of them have been transferred back, most of them are still outside. After the complete break with Kuang Yunshan, he lost the jurisdiction of these dragon whisperers. This means that since the war with the Wolf Stars, the power he can mobilize has been Most of them have been lost, especially those high-level dragon whisperers. Almost every dead one will lose one. There will be no replacement at all. If this continues, the number of people will only become less and less. One day, they will all be exhausted and no one will be left.

But he didn't have any choice.

Their force is the main force against the Wolf Stars. At least they have contained and faced more than half of the Wolf Stars. Once they retreat, the defense line they have built with so much painstaking efforts will immediately fall apart, and the lost land they regained will fall into the hands of the Wolf Stars again. Above, tens of millions of people will be massacred. Therefore, no matter how difficult the fight is, they cannot take a step back.

What chilled him was that he had called many times, but most of the organizations and forces that had not yet encountered the Wolf Stars were indifferent. Not only did they not send personnel to fight against the Wolf Stars together, but instead they seized the time to seize territory and resources. They even The devil's claws extended to the warehouse of the Ministry of Military Affairs, wounding and killing countless federal soldiers and dragon whisperers, and took away a large amount of strategic supplies.

Sighing, Ma Qianli said: "Write down the names of every fallen person. History will remember them."

Liu Yan slurred her lips and stopped talking.

"It's already like this. Is there anything else you can't tell me?" Ma Qianli turned around and looked at her dissatisfied, and asked lightly.

Looking at Ma Qianli's head full of white hair, Liu Yan's nose felt sore and her eyes couldn't help but feel moist. Compared with before, Ma Qianli was at least ten years older, and there were more wrinkles on his face. In order to stabilize the morale of the military, the Third Military and Political Department The news that the big giants parted ways has not spread. However, it cannot be hidden from senior officials like Liu Yan. After the split, the strength of the Military and Political Department has been greatly reduced. However, it has taken on responsibilities that are inconsistent with its strength. The current situation of the Federation can be said to be completely dependent on Ma Qianli was struggling to support himself. He really took on too much, but he couldn't do much to help.

Choking for a moment, Liu Yan said: "The dead have been burned, but there are too many injured. With our current medical equipment and conditions, it is not enough to treat so many people."

"Requisition local hospitals. Let local governments fully cooperate."

"We have tried it. However, the local government refused our requisition because the hospital treated a large number of injured and injured civilians. It also refused us to send the injured for medical treatment."

Ma Qianli was startled. Then he laughed. A sharp light appeared in his eyes. "It seems that I am still too soft-hearted, so that others continue to challenge our limits. Liu Yan, you will immediately bring people to take over these governments. From now on. Start now. Comprehensive implementation of martial law."

When Liu Yan heard this, her expression changed in shock and she said: "Doing this is likely to intensify conflicts."

"We just finished a battle. The Wolf Stars are temporarily unable to organize a large-scale attack. I also have some time." Ma Qianli said coldly: "Who has any opinions? I don't mind visiting in person."

He has always been reserved, and it is difficult for him to show his emotions on his face. It seems that his face does not change even if the sky falls. But when he says this sentence, his tone does not change much, but it gives people a murderous feeling. People have no doubt about his inner feelings. Killing intent.

Liu Yan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay. I'll take someone to do it right away."

The war situation is urgent. Countless dragon whisperers and federal soldiers are fighting bloody battles on the front line. But the local government not only does not help, but often hinders them. Martial control is also a last resort. Liu Yan might be better off in person. If it were someone else Go. It may intensify conflicts and cause internal strife. The enemy is now. If there is a fire in the backyard, the situation will be even worse.

To be fair, she also wished she could kill all these wolf-hearted guys. But after all, she had to think about the overall situation and start fighting among themselves. The Wolf Star people would be happy, but the people would suffer.

"Wait a moment."

Liu Yan turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Ma Qianli again. She turned around in surprise and waited for Ma Qianli's instructions. But suddenly she felt that the expression on Ma Qianli's face seemed a little strange.

"Do you still have contact with Ma Jianyao?" Ma Qianli asked after a moment of silence.

Liu Yan's heart skipped a beat and her face changed suddenly. But she forced herself to calm down and said, "No. No. Isn't he already trapped in the Light of Hope?"

Ma Qianli glanced at her meaningfully. Liu Yan felt her heart beat faster and her eyes wandered. She didn't dare to look directly into Ma Qianli's eyes. Logically speaking, she shouldn't deceive Ma Qianli because of her relationship with Ma Qianli. But although Ma Jianyao said there was a reason, she still had a reason. He rebelled against the Military and Administrative Ministry. If he really needs to be investigated, even if he is shot to death, it would not be an exaggeration.

"I heard that a very popular organization has recently emerged. The person in charge is an A-level dragon whisperer. His name is also Ma Jianyao..."

"What?" Liu Yan was taken aback and asked in disbelief: "Isn't that possible? What is the name of this organization?" She knew that Ma Jianyao had joined an organization, but he was not the person in charge at all. It was even more impossible. He's an A-level dragon whisperer. Could it be someone with the same name?

Ma Qianli said noncommittally: "Freedom Alliance."

"Freedom Alliance." Liu Yan shook her head blankly. "I've never heard of it." She subconsciously felt that it had nothing to do with Ma Jianyao. But at the same time, she was also worried about him. Now the situation is turbulent and the undercurrent is surging. Whether it is related to the Wolf Stars or not. All organizations seemed to be unwilling to be alone in the battle. But fortunately, he stayed in the boundary. There should be no danger for the time being.

"Okay. You can go." Ma Qianli said lightly. It was not until Liu Yan walked away that he murmured to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "Ma Jianyao. I didn't expect that I still underestimated you..."
