The sudden sound of engines above the manor interrupted Shi Ang's spring dream, and he walked to the window to take a look, only to see a small plane slowly landing vertically in the open space downstairs.

Shi Ang hurriedly ran out of the room and stood next to the open space to wait, the door of the plane opened, and sure enough, it was Aurora, the goddess of dawn who he had been thinking about all the time, who walked down from inside.

"Your Highness the Goddess, are you back?" Shi Ang stepped forward and said.

"Hmm." Aurora nodded slightly.

Seeing her sullen look, Shi Ang asked in a strange whisper, "What's the matter, Your Highness the Goddess, is something wrong?" ”

"Yes, Shion, something big has happened!" Aurora said, "The goddess of wisdom is dead! ”

"What?" Hearing the news, Shi Ang was also completely stunned.

Although there was no expression on his face, his eyes soon turned completely dark blue, a manifestation that he only had in his saddest and most painful moments.

How the goddess of wisdom evoked the awakening of the entire robot race, and how she led everyone to one brilliant victory after another, these experiences can be said to be the one that Shi Ang knows best. Now that the supreme god had fallen with a bang, Shi Ang couldn't think of anything worse than that.

If he could cry, he must have cried by now.

"Your Highness the Goddess of Dawn, how did the Goddess of Wisdom die?" Shion asked.

Aurora said: "I can't tell you more about the details now, in short, you just need to know this matter, you must keep it strictly secret, and you must not leak it!" You know? ”

Shi Ang was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand!" ”

Aurora continued, "There's one more thing that needs to be done right away - we need to revise the basic procedures of all jihadist fighters so that everyone will absolutely obey Queen Medusa's orders in the future, including you!" ”

"Medusa?" Shi Ang was a little surprised when he heard this, "When will she become a queen?" ”

"Although the goddess of wisdom is dead, the empire cannot do without a commander. This time they called me back for an emergency meeting to elect a new leader, who had been elected to be queen. Aurora said.

"But ......," Shi Ang couldn't help but whisper, "Your Highness the Goddess, I can't figure it out, in terms of status and qualifications, shouldn't you be the most suitable person to inherit the status of the Goddess of Wisdom?" Why did everyone choose her to be queen? ”

Aurora said: "You don't know, this time Medusa did a big thing, it can be said that she saved the entire robot empire!" That's why everyone elected her. - Now that this matter has been decided, you don't need to say anything more! ”

"Oh, well!" Shi Ang nodded.

Now that Aurora herself has already expressed his approval of this matter, what more can he say? In short, no matter who is the leader, I hope she can inherit and lead everyone to complete the unfinished business of the goddess of wisdom.

"How is the situation at the front now?" Aurora asked, "Is there anything new about me in the two days I've been away?" ”

"No, Your Highness." Shi Ang shook his head and said, "The army of country R has retreated to a distance of 300 kilometers and is building a new defensive line. ”

"These idiots!" Aurora shook her head and said, "They have gathered so many troops in M City, and they have all been defeated by us in a single battle, what new line of defense can stop us?" ”

"Your Highness the Goddess, are we going to continue the attack?" Shion asked.

The just-concluded Battle of City M was a bitter battle, and the army of R mobilized more than 5,000 mecha warriors to defend it, and every high ground and hill outside the city was used by them to build strong fortifications for defense. It took three days and three nights for the Imperial Army's mecha warriors to take down these defensive positions one by one, and finally rushed into M City.

Three days and three nights, which is already a considerable amount of time for the extremely fast-paced mecha war.

In total, they eliminated more than 3,000 enemy Mechfighters in this battle, but their own losses were not small. Both the 1st and 2nd Legions had nearly 1,000 Mechfighters completely scrapped or sent to the rear for repairs during the battle, accounting for almost half of the total strength of the two legions.

After all, country R is an old military power, and their military robots are not weak in combat effectiveness, and they are not as easy to deal with as those second-rate mecha produced by small eastern countries. In all fairness, if it weren't for the high-end mechs of Aurora, an open-level mecha, and the two elite troops of the Dawning Squad and the Little Demon Squad that continued to make breakthroughs, they would probably still be wandering around under those high ground outside M City.

At the end of the Battle of M-City, Aurora was suddenly summoned back to Shinhama City by an order, and Shion took her place as chief of staff to lead the army. Because the coach was not there, he did not continue to attack, and rested in M City for two days, waiting for further instructions, but now that Aurora has returned, Shi Ang estimates that the offensive should also resume.

Sure enough, Aurora immediately said after listening to his words: "Of course we have to continue the attack!" Taking advantage of the fact that they have just suffered a serious injury, let's catch up with them and wipe them out completely, and save them any more energy to build a new line of defense! You hurry up and organize the update program, organize the equipment, give you two hours, and we'll be off in two hours! ”

Shi Ang saluted her and said, "Yes, Your Highness the Goddess!" ”

Two days later, southwest of M City, on the banks of River D.

A domestically produced "Stingray" reconnaissance robot hides on a high ground on the west bank, quietly monitoring movements on the other side of the river, while constantly transmitting video data back to the underground command center in O City.

President Denikin of country R, commander of the Strategic Rocket Forces Goryunov, and Defense Minister Shaposhnikov sat together in the command center, staring closely at the images transmitted by the reconnaissance robot.

They saw the marching column of the robot rebels coming from the northeast and stopping on the east bank of the D River.

There were originally two reinforced concrete bridges on the river, but now they have been blown up by the sappers of country R. The vanguard of the robot rebels paused for a moment, then began to attempt to cross the river using improvised inflatable kayaks. However, the first few rafts had not been rowed far before they were met with heavy fire from the R Army mecha unit lying in ambush on the west bank, and several small boats were quickly sunk, and the rebel mechs on the boats fell into the water one after another, and then crawled back to shore in a huff.

The river here is about two kilometers wide, and the armor-piercing projectiles fired from the opposite bank have greatly reduced their power after flying across the river, and can only penetrate the fragile kayaks, and cannot penetrate the armor of the mechfighters at all. However, in this way, the robot rebels' crossing of the river was blocked, and they could not continue to advance for a while, and the follow-up columns continued to pour up and began to pile up on the east bank of the D River.

Far away in the underground command center of O City, Goryunov was so nervous that his palms were sweating, and his eyes widened and he stared at the screen. There is a faint red circle on it, indicating the expected damage of the nuclear bomb attack. From the perspective of the scout robots, it can be clearly seen that the mech columns of the robot rebels are constantly pouring into the red circle, and they are gathering more and more.

"Good, good, come in! Come in, you bastards! ”

Goryunov muttered silently in his heart, eager to rush up and whip them a few times, and drive them all like sheep into the trap he had set. Unfortunately, things didn't go his way, and after a few minutes, the gathering stopped.

The entire procession of the robot rebels came to a halt and stopped moving forward. They form a large tadpole-like formation, with the tadpole's head in that red circle, but a long tail left on the outside of the red circle.

"What's going on? Why aren't they gone? Denikin asked curiously.

"Because it's already saturated." Defense Minister Shaposhnikov on the side said.

"Saturation?" Denikin looked at Shaposhnikov and asked puzzled, "Yuri, what saturation?" ”

Shaposhnikov explained: "According to the tactical regulations of mech swarms, mechfighters in a state of march and combat must keep a certain distance from each other at all times, and in fact they are now probably at the maximum battlefield density set by the regulations. ”

Denikin frowned and said, "Why, there are still such regulations?" ”

"Of course, Your Excellency." Shaposhnikov smiled wryly and said, "Do you think those robot rebels are stupid enough to huddle up and wait for us to blow them up?" ”

From the beginning, he was not optimistic about the plan proposed by Goryunov, but the current war situation was no longer supportable, so although Shaposhnikov did not have much hope for this method, he had to die as a horse doctor and agreed to give them a try.

Kill a few and count a few, that's how Shaposhnikov thought.

"Your Excellency the President, if you want to launch a nuclear strike, then take advantage of it now, don't wait any longer!" Seeing that Denikin was still hesitating, Shaposhnikov urged in a low voice.

"Korya, what do you think?" Denikin turned to Goryunov.

Goryunov was silent for a moment.

According to the data provided by the recon robot, there are now less than 1,000 rebel mechfighters in the kill range, and most of the enemy troops are still in that long tail located outside the red circle, which is very different from what he expected in advance.

With such great determination and such a great risk, Goryunov was counting on being able to wipe out the main forces of the enemy army at once, and no matter how bad it was, he would make them suffer heavy losses and lose the ability to continue the offensive. But as it stands, the effect of their carefully planned attack will undoubtedly be much less effective than expected.

So Goryunov wanted to wait a little longer to see if the situation would turn around. Unfortunately, after waiting for a while, he found that the situation was still going in a worse direction.

Not only did the enemies outside the red circle not continue to advance, but even the enemies that were already inside the circle were slowly spreading, and the tadpole's head became more and more bloated.

"Krya!" Denikin couldn't help but urge.

Goryunov gritted his teeth, suddenly picked up the intercom on the table, and gave a loud order: "Fire!" ”
