Monlaith, outside the Astral Spirit Base.

Four Eyes sat in the APC, lowered his head and continued to look at the book "The Combination of Feudalism and Democracy - An Exploration of the Star Spirit Society" in his hand. This is one of the few books he takes with the army, and it is also his way of playing the boring moments. It's just that the fingers of the power armor are too thick, and many times it is not easy to turn the page.

"Alright, now for the mission briefing." The voice of the squad leader Douglas rang out inside the communicator in the power armor.

"Our mission is to destroy the defenses at the F-entrance of the Astral Spirits base, and to search for and destroy all hostile Astral units at the entrance. We will have two other classes to act with us. Have any questions? ”

"Report! What is the expected strength of the enemy? ”

"The Astral Defenders are expected to have a small squad of Tadarin, mostly Fanatics and two Stalkers. It is not ruled out that the rear star spirits will rush to support, but the intelligence indicates that we will not face more than twenty enemies at most. ”

"Report! How many reinforcements do we have? ”

"We have artillery support from the regimental headquarters and fighter support from the Army Air Force. Two Goliaths from the 92nd Mech Platoon would provide us with fire support, and one siege tank from the 63rd Panzer Platoon would provide us with cover. ”

“…… Very well, then we expect to be on the outskirts of the base in ten minutes, ready for battle! ”

"Yes!"

The APC sped through the wilderness towards the Starspirit base, accompanied by two other APCs, a siege tank and two Goliath mechs.

And within half an hour before they launched, the two battlecruisers had already washed the entire Star Spirit base.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" As the APC stopped, Douglas quickly called the Marines up, and the entire Marine squad quickly got out of the APC rear hatch one by one.

"Stay in formation and move forward!"

Four Eyes held the piercing hand in his hand and quickly followed the queue with his team leader at a cautious but not slow pace. The entire queue is rapidly advancing in a tandem line towards the Starspirit base. The two marine squads on both flanks also quickly formed a horizontal formation and followed. Two mechs followed behind them, providing fire support, while the siege tank was at the front.

As the distance got closer, Four Eyes finally saw the ruins of the Star Spirit Base.

The theme and focus of the interstellar age is always on the outcome of interstellar naval battles. In general, it is very difficult to win a war with ground forces alone. Even the weakest-looking human warship of the three races is enough to turn the tide of most ground wars. The ground laser cannon group is reinforced with electromagnetic coils, and the damage caused is devastating.

The entire Astral Spirit base was torn into ruins by two battlecruisers under the fire of photon batteries and stalkers and mechanical sentinels. With no air force to counter, the entire Star Spirit Base is almost powerless to fight back.

The next battle is to sweep away the remaining enemies. Four Eyes' Marine squad encountered only sporadic resistance, but two of them were killed by the fanatic's unsuspecting charge, and the rest suffered no obvious casualties.

Then, during the battle to break into the temple, the assault force encountered resistance from the remnants of Tadarin and was held back by two Tadarin Immortals, and for a time they were at a stalemate. In the end, it was their platoon that went in with high explosives, and under the cover of friendly fire, they directly blew up the two immortals, and then used grenades, grenades and explosives to grind them until they lost their combat effectiveness.

The artifact is not difficult to find, but it is better to say that Tadarin directly placed it in a prominent position in order to worship the artifact. But Yang Yi didn't plan to let the soldiers run directly to move the artifact, under his strong request, after discovering the location of the artifact, they sent heavy troops to surround it, and after setting up all kinds of heavy firepower, they sent the modified heavy APC and four marines equipped with shields to carefully touch the artifact.

Indeed, he was so frightened that he almost cried out when he saw the two giant Zealot statues next to the artifact from the soldier's surveillance vantage point. In the past, when he was playing games, in order to achieve achievements, he didn't miss out on the files because of these two things. Now that the enemies see each other, they are naturally very angry.

When the soldiers placed the explosives and prepared to blast the Star Spirit Shield generator that protected the artifact, suddenly with a violent shaking, the two stone statues on both sides of the artifact suddenly made a tooth-aching grinding sound, and then the two stone statues suddenly moved, slamming on the ground, and everyone was unstable because of the violent vibration. Then, Four Eyes saw something he might never forget—two thermal lasers shot straight out of the stone statue's eyes, and in the blink of an eye, they pounced on the Marines who were exploring the path in front of them, and the intense heat turned them into a pile of metal liquid without even screaming.

"Fire! Hurry up! ”

There was an immediate chaos in the communication channel, and then the positions and support units that had been set up earlier quickly opened fire, firing wildly at the two stone statues to hide the fear and trembling in their hearts.

The two statues didn't even have a moment to make a difference before they were reduced to a pile of rubble in a web of fire from siege tanks, Goliath mechs, Marauder grenades, and Marines' grenade launchers.

After that, nothing happened, and another team was sent to relocate the explosives - which had been melted by the heat rays - and then blew up the Astrals' shield generators. The SCV was then dispatched to unload the artifact from the offering device and load it into a pre-prepared container, which was then loaded into a delivery vehicle. The army left the ruined Temple of the Star Spirits, or the Temple of Sarnagar, with the containers in a mighty way.

When the carrier board the transport plane and be escorted back to the Hyperion by Viking fighters, the entire forcible seizure was officially declared a success.

Although there were some changes in the whole process and the loss of some manpower, the overall goal was finally achieved perfectly. After gathering ground forces, A1, Hydra, and Hyperion quickly left the planet.

Shortly after they left, a fleet of Tadarin leapt into orbit on the planet. The Refractory Prism flew out of the mothership and began to deploy troops to the ground. The explorators began to rebuild a new base on the ruins of the original base.

On the bridge of the mothership, Marash subdued the last bit of diazine and felt the enjoyment brought by dizine. Suddenly, he bowed his head reverently towards the void.

"Great God of Darkness, we have obeyed your commands. Humanity has taken your holy relics. ”

“…… Be. Tadarin will do whatever you ask. ”

(It's finally finished, and I think everyone is tired of looking at my water word count...... But I guess I'm going to have water next (laughs), but I'm trying to set it on the hour or something—I'm good at writing some settings or something...... ）

(By the way, I forgot to mention it earlier.) On the question of who is in charge of space, which was mentioned by a reader. I don't think I have much choice, the battlecruiser is a battleship, a battleship, a battleship, it must be the navy. This should be a translation problem, and I'll say it after a long time. However, it should be noted that the Space Navy is an independent branch of the military and is not under the control of the Planetary Navy. You can just think of it as a space force, and it's no problem to remove the sea character, but because the equipment in space is in the form of warships, it is customary to say that the space navy. ）
