Chapter 249: Fight to the End
The attack came very suddenly, and by the time Candos noticed the anomaly, the transport ship carrying tens of thousands of Silicon Phantom Warriors had already reached the top of the settlement and dropped a powerful Primal Energy Bomb. Although Candos was not killed, the other Lone people were not so lucky.
In the violent explosion, not only thousands of Dumen were wiped out, but even the towering tree that had existed for thousands of years and had an extraordinary significance to all the Dumen of the entire group also fell. Although the scope of the explosion was limited and most of the Dumen survived, the sudden attack and heavy losses completely shattered the fighting spirit of the Dumen and made them feel desperate.
Candos never imagined that the attack would come so quickly.
Looking at the fallen "ancestral tree", not to mention other unique people, even Candos felt hopeless. If he had known, he would not have rejected Mendozo's offer a few hours earlier. It's just that there is no regret medicine to take, and all he can count on now is still the slightest illusion about the enemy.
Only, the explosion is not the end, but the beginning.
Before the smoke of the explosion had cleared, thousands of Silicon Phantom warriors rushed down from the transport ship and landed directly on the ground to be precise.
Although relatively speaking, the number of Silicon Warriors is not large, after all, there are 100,000 Dumen here, excluding women and children, and about 30,000 adult male Dumen. But in the face of heavily armed Silicon Warriors, a lone man who is not ready for battle is nothing at all.
There is no surrender of the Independents, and there is no such thing as surrender.
Before Candos gave the order, many of the newly returned Dumen went into battle, fighting their enemies with the weapons they carried with them or with them. It is undeniable that these unique people who have been fighting wild beasts all year round are very brave, but they only have some weapons in their hands for hunting, and they are not able to effectively deal with the tough Silicon Charm warriors. As for killing the Silicon Warrior, it's even more impossible.
This is not a battle, but a one-sided slaughter.
Tens of thousands of Silicon Phantom warriors formed a battle queue immediately after landing. In addition to having a stronger physique and more powerful weapons, the Silicon Phantom Legion also has the advantage of overall combat. The lone people who fought against it were stragglers and were not organized at all.
Because there is nowhere to retreat. Therefore, the only person can only fight to the end.
By the time Candos reacted, tens of thousands of Dumen had already been killed, and many more female Dumen who had not had time to escape had been murdered.
Although the surviving warriors of the clan under Candos's organization are moving closer to him and beginning an organized counterattack against the Silicon Phantom Legion, it has no obvious effect other than slowing down the casualty rate. Barring a miracle, the colony will soon be overrun by the Silicon Legion.
See one after another, wave after wave of lone warriors to be precise, fall in front of the enemy's line. Candos was utterly desperate, and the slightest illusion he had in his enemies was shattered. It's just that, in despair, Candos thought of Mendozo and those human soldiers.
In fact, before that, Kandos refused to provide warriors to the Dumen Legion, and the key was those human soldiers.
Mendozzo was clear. Because the lone man lacks experience in warfare, even an elder like him who fought in the Fifth Greenwich War. Because he had not participated in a frontal battle and did not know how to fight against the Silicon Charm Army, in order to effectively exert the combat effectiveness of the Unique Legion, Grand Elder Curtis has appointed a human officer as the commander-in-chief of the Unique Legion, and he has full authority to command the Unique Legion to fight, including Mendozo, and all the Unique Men must obey his command. Although Candos did not doubt Mendozo's words. Knowing that this was indeed Curtis's order, Candos was completely unacceptable to obey human commands, and even extremely disgusted.
It's not that Candos has an enmity with humanity, but it's influenced by deep-rooted traditions.
Of course. This is not surprising, almost all unique people are hostile to humans, and there are very few unique people like Curtis and Mendozo who can look at humans objectively.
In Candos's opinion, even if the support and assistance of the human race is essential, even if those human soldiers are very powerful, the Dumen should command the Dumen legion, instead of letting hundreds of thousands of Dumen soldiers obey the orders of the humans, let alone hand over the safety of the Green Star to a human officer.
To put it bluntly, if Candos agreed to Mendos's request and sent the warriors of the race to join the Legion, it would be equivalent to putting the power of defending the race in the hands of a human officer, and it would also be equivalent to handing over the future of the race and the hope of the race to humanity.
Obviously, for Candos, this is an unacceptable result in any case.
Only, there is one thing that Candos cannot deny.
That is, those human soldiers are indeed very powerful, and the victory of the unique army not long ago is indeed due to those human soldiers.
Although he didn't go to the battlefield, through the plants covered in green stars, Candos was able to feel the battle, and he could also feel the human soldiers who appeared in the battle. Besides, the Dumen has never directly participated in a large-scale war, and being able to annihilate dozens of Silicon Phantom Legions in a single battle is obviously not only based on its own strong strength, but also related to external factors, that is, those human soldiers.
As for the war strength of mankind, there is no need to question it.
It can be said that not only in the Southern Alpha Galaxy, but even if those silicon-glamorous civilizations in the Northern Alpha System are counted, I am afraid that no civilization is more adapted to war than humans. You must know that in the past 5,000 years, among the hundreds of intelligent civilizations in the North Four Regions of the Southern Alpha System, only the Human Federation is still alive, and all the others have died out. In addition, in the entire Galactic Alliance, only the Human Federation dominates a star field. Although the North Fourth District is close to the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, it is not only a marginal area, but also a badlands that no advanced civilization wants to touch, but it can dominate a star field, and after experiencing the devastation of five large-scale wars, not only has it not died, but it has become stronger and stronger, and only human civilization can do it.
In fact, the Human Federation can occupy a pivotal position in the Galactic Alliance because it has a powerful military strength that even advanced civilizations cannot match.
In fact, for many weak civilizations, human soldiers are hope.
During the Fifth Greenwich War, especially after the Beacon Attack, the Galactic Alliance launched a counterattack, and the Human Legion took the lead in encircling the invading Silicon Charm army. At that time, on the planets invaded by the Silicon Charm army, the local residents would rejoice when they learned that the human soldiers had arrived, because it meant that their homeland would soon be liberated.
Although he did not participate in the Fifth Greenwich War, Candos had a deep understanding of the war.
When he thought of Mendozo, he thought of those human soldiers, thought of the miracles created by the Human Federation thousands of years ago, and saw hope.
It was also at this time that Candos sent several of his cronies to Mendozo.
Of course, Candos didn't give up and couldn't give up.
The battle was still going on, although the difference in strength was too great, and even if the soldiers were organized, they were still retreating because they did not have the right weapons, let alone the confidence to win, but the enemy would not contain the prisoners of war, and there were more women and children waiting to be saved.
Candos knew that the more they held out on the front line, the more hope they had for the women and children who were not able to fight. Candos also knew that the hope of the tribe was not the male warriors, or even his elders, but the women who carried on the blood of the tribe, and the children who were equal to the hope of the future of the race. Only by surviving women and children can there be any hope for the revival of the community.
In fact, for any of the individual ethnic groups, if a woman with a seed survives, it will be revived one day in the future. You must know that an adult female can give birth to thousands of seeds at the same time, which is equivalent to being able to produce thousands of offspring at the same time.
Instead of flinching, Candos rushed to the forefront.
This is just an ordinary race, and out of the 100,000 unique people, only Candos has the Origin Converter, which is also the only Origin Converter of the race.
Although he didn't have much actual combat experience, with the Origin Converter, Candos was qualified to fight the Silicon Phantom Legion, at least he wouldn't look vulnerable to the enemy like his lone warrior, even if his brave resistance only bought a little time for the women and children of the clan to escape.
Candos was heroic, more heroic than he had at any time in more than a thousand years.
A thousand years ago, Candos did not participate in the Fifth Greenwich War like Mendozo, not because he was not qualified, nor because he was afraid of death, but because he felt that the war had nothing to do with him and his own people, and there was no reason to fight for other civilizations to follow an enemy he had never met. But now it was different, the flames of war had reached the doorstep, and thousands of people had been killed by the enemy. This is not to fight for other civilizations against enemies they have never met, but to fight for themselves, for their own people, and for other unique people. Even if the enemy was very strong, even if his heart was full of fear, even if he knew that he would die in battle, Candos did not flinch, let alone give up resistance.
Sadly, Candos is just an Elder with an Origin Converter.
Although under his leadership, the Dumen warriors crushed several enemy phalanxes, but by the time he tried his best, he was already under siege.
Candos's bravery impressed the enemy and caught the attention of Caja.
In fact, in the entire battlefield, only the team led by Candos was still fighting, and the other lone warriors who did not flee were wiped out.
Although it would be easy to take out Candos, Caja was in no hurry.
Cajia is also very curious about this Dumen elder who fought to the death, because Candos's performance completely subverted his understanding of Dumen. (To be continued......)
