"What? The Imperial Army suddenly withdrew? In the Rixton Army Shogunate Command Center, Xue Yue frowned and said in surprise.

"Yes, General! This is the video data sent back by the defenders of Planet Three! The staff officer turned on a portable terminal microcomputer and played a video inside.

In the video, under the cover of the escort group, the landing ships of the Imperial Army jumped into the air one after another, heading straight for the group of battleships suspended above the atmosphere. All that remained of the Imperial landing force was a bomb crater and some garbage abandoned by the Imperial Army. As soon as the picture turned, the battleships of the Imperial Army assembled in space lined up in a sparse formation, slowly flying towards the starry sky in the depths of the universe, looking like they would never come back.

"Fuck, what the hell are these Imperial rats trying to do? Should you be full of food and don't die, come over and yo-yo? Xue Yue's old eyes widened, and he shouted and scolded angrily.

On that night when the Ricktown Army counterattacked, although the Imperial Army's close combat units suffered many casualties, the battle situation finally stabilized after the Space Fleet intervened on the battlefield. Subsequently, the reserve launched a second round of landing operations, replacing the exhausted first landing force, and finally completed the task of laying psionic decoys before dawn.

Of course, in order to prevent the Ricktown Army from destroying the psionic bait, the Imperial Army used all kinds of advanced equipment in their hands to carry out some near-perfect camouflage and terrain restoration of the special location where the psionic bait was buried. Without the use of advanced energy detection instruments, it would be difficult to spot those psionic decoys.

"General, according to the opinion of his subordinates, the sudden retreat of the Imperial Army is really a little too strange! The subordinates speculate that they must be trying to get something on our planet three! The young staff officer pointed to the paper star map on the stage and said in a deep voice.

"What do you get? What do they get? I see, I wonder they were frightened by our valiant warriors, and they fled in disgrace! Another old-fashioned senior staff officer snorted disdainfully: "According to the latest battle report sent back by the defenders of Planet Three, last night alone, we killed and wounded nearly 100,000 Imperial troops!" This can already be regarded as a slap in the face to those arrogant Imperial troops! Come to think of it, their soldiers are all piled up with money, and in my opinion, it must be that the commander of the Imperial Army can't bear too many casualties, so he will order the withdrawal of his troops! ”

"Drink as a head? General Li, do you want to say that the defenders of my planet 3 have won this battle? The young staff officer frowned and said coldly.

"That's right, an absolute victory?"

"Hmph, an unprecedented victory? Dare to ask General Li, have you read the latest battle report sent back by the defenders of Planet 3, which says how many casualties our army has? ”

"Uh, this ......"

"Don't remember? Then let me tell you, in this battle, our army lost more than 900,000 casualties in just one day and night, and countless were seriously wounded and lightly wounded! Dozens of times the casualties, is this our victory in Ricktown? The young staff officer's words made the atmosphere in the shogunate suddenly become gloomy. Even the senior staff officer, who was still high-spirited, had a blushing face and couldn't say a word.

"Alright, stop arguing!"

Xue Yue, who had been watching the video materials repeatedly on the side, pricking up his ears to listen to the quarrels of his subordinates, finally got up suddenly, a pair of cloudy old eyes narrowed, and said in a cold voice: "It's still the same sentence, it doesn't matter if they come to burn incense or worship the Buddha, as long as these dog-day imperial troops dare to turn around and come back, even if our warriors in Ricktown pay a lot of casualties, they will be killed in a river of blood!" ”

"Yes, General!" The shogunate officers hurriedly shouted in unison.

"Pass my orders! The Space Fleet immediately followed, keeping an eye on the movements of the Imperial Fleet Cluster at all times! Order the defenders of Planet 3 to immediately dispatch, in addition to cleaning up the battlefield, and allocate part of the troops to search for all traces left by the imperial army! After issuing the military order, a contemptuous sneer rose at the corner of Xue Yue's mouth: "I want to see what tricks the bastards of the Imperial Army want to play!" ”

……

"Your Excellency, Ricktown's space fleet is following up again! It is about 100,000 kilometers away from the detachment that we are responsible for after the break! The commander of the detachment asked for instructions on whether to stop them on the spot! ”

In the flagship command center of the Second Corps of the Imperial Army, Shangguan Shinichi, who was chatting leisurely with his senior generals drinking red wine, suddenly heard the adjutant's loud report.

"These annoying flies!" Shangguan Xinyi said in a cold voice unhappily: "We didn't invite them to our celebration banquet either!" Well, since they want to come, let them pay some bride price first! Pass on my order, the second and third fleets will attack immediately, and cooperate with the broken fourth fleet to carry out a pincer attack on the Ricktown space fleet that is following behind, in order to destroy the enemy's living liliang to the greatest extent! ”

"Commander, the subordinate doesn't quite understand!" After the adjutant received the order to leave, the chief of staff of the close combat unit, Pi Ke, asked puzzledly: "We have already sent a fleet to drive away the old Ricktown fleet before, this time Commander Weishenme, you are going to make such a big determination to inflict heavy losses on the other side?" Could it be that the other side will really be stupid to bump into our muzzle? ”

"Hmph, they're not stupid!" Shangguan Xin shook the wine in his hand and said with a sneer: "It's just that I want to see if the so-called decoy Jihua is successfully realized, then the Ricktown Army can still withstand the large-scale attack of the insect swarm without the support of the space fleet!" Perhaps, when the time comes, we can really give Emperor Bixia a satisfactory answer! ”

"Ah, the commander is wise! Xiaguan and others admired it so much! The officers were busy stuttering.

……

On Planet Three, a Ricktown Army patrol is wandering aimlessly around an abandoned camp of the Imperial Army.

"Hey, buddy, did you say that those old men and gentlemen of the generals transferred us all the way here to hang out here?" Soldier A tightened his grip on the assault rifle with only one magazine in his hand, pouting and complaining.

The rifle in his hand was obviously an old antique item, and the paint on the outside of the rifle had even begun to peel off in some places, and God knows if this thing would suddenly jam or explode directly. However, the Ricktown soldier still had a long knife four or five feet long and wide on his back strapped to his back. The hilt of the knife was wrapped in a circle of bright red cloth, and wisps of red tassels fluttered in the wind. Such a cold weapon is extremely rare on the modern battlefield. And in this ragged Ricktown soldier, it seems so harmonious and natural.

The soldier's outfit can be said to be the epitome of the vast majority of Ricktown soldiers. The vast majority of Ricktown soldiers, who lack a large number of advanced weapons and equipment, have to replenish themselves with a certain number of cold weapons. However, in this country that admires ancient styles, people also admire those ancient martial arts that can give full play to their advantages in hand-to-hand combat. Many of the Ricktown soldiers, who are good at it, prefer to equip themselves with broadswords, long swords, etc. For them, these cold weapons are more convenient.

"Hell knows!" On his back were a few glowing red tasseled javelins, but in his hand he was carrying a squad heavy machine gun. Of course, this heavy machine gun also apparently had only one magazine. I saw Soldier B spit out the grass roots he was chewing in his mouth and grinned: "Okay, don't complain!" It's not bad if you don't have to fight the Imperial army that is armed to the teeth! Did you hear that? The 76th Regiment, which rushed to this theater of operations before us, had only seven or eight wounded soldiers left in the whole regiment overnight, and even the officers of the regimental commander and chief of staff were bombarded to pieces one by one by the powerful fire of the Imperial Army! ”

"I'm X, really?" A cold wind blew, bringing a strong smell of blood, which made the soldier cold and excited.

"Is this still fake? Didn't you notice when you first got here? That truckload after truck, is it trophies? Just looking at the jet-black blood flowing down from the truck, anyone with a discerning eye knows what is being pulled inside! Soldier B said to Soldier A with a mysterious expression.

"You mean, corpses!!" Soldier A's eyes widened and he subconsciously exclaimed.

"Oh boy, can you be quieter!" Soldier B was so frightened that he stepped forward and blocked Soldier A's mouth with his big hand, and said in a low voice: "If the company commander hears the two of us talking nonsense in private, maybe he will give us both some charge of confusing the army's heart, and we will be killed with one shot!" ”

"I mean, why do those trucks smell barbecue when they pass by!" Soldier Jia scratched his head and whispered.

"What? What barbecue? Another soldier also leaned over and asked curiously, "Where is the barbecue?" Damn, I'm already hungry! ”

"Roast your uncle's roasted ......," Soldier B shouted angrily. However, before he could finish his sentence, there was a dull loud sound of breaking through the sky above him. For a while, the Ricktown soldiers of this patrol subconsciously stopped and looked up to follow the prestige.

"I'm X, what's that!" Under the stunned eyes of the soldiers, in the originally gray-white sky, a huge figure like a space battleship suddenly slowly appeared.

I saw that the huge figure was all crimson blue, and its bulging and fat body was full of huge bone spurs, and there was a hemispherical dark red bulge on each side, which looked like a pair of extremely huge eyes, and its head could not be seen clearly, and it could only be vaguely recognized, the long limbs and legs hanging down. The whole monster was like a giant kite floating in mid-air, slowly magnifying in the eyes of the soldiers.

If Haoyi was here, he would definitely jump to his feet and shout: "Euglena! ”

That's right, this is a class that only appears in the advanced stage of the swarm. Not only can it transport a large number of alien insects like a human space transport ship, but even after a certain degree of evolution, the eyeworm also has the ability to find stealth and submerged targets. For example, human ghost escort fighters and even ghost agents can hardly escape the high-altitude reconnaissance of the eyeworms under certain conditions.

"Look, there's another one! What a fucking monster this is! In the exclamations of the soldiers, the gray canopy was torn to pieces by the eyeworms that appeared one after another, and in a short time, almost half of the sky was occupied by these sudden eyeworms.

Immediately afterward, without waiting for any effective response from the officers and men of the patrol, one after another "cannonballs" that looked like blood-red flesh balls flew out of the unique excretory openings on the bodies of the eyeworms, and smashed to the ground with a sharp cracking sound.

"Boom!" Plumes of smoke and dust rose from the place where the shells had fallen, and the whole earth seemed to tremble faintly.

"Swoosh......" The next moment, the angry roars of the insects began to explode in all directions......
