Agrea.

After a two-day break, at the urging of the Provisional Government, the transport of migrants resumed. After emergency repairs, Hyperion and A1 returned to the high altitude of Starport to reopen the air corridor, and Behemoth, who had been responsible for containing Leviathan, returned to the sky above Starport in the atmosphere and was responsible for ensuring air supremacy over Starport.

At the same time, the first two Hercules-class cargo ships to leave the system have been unloaded, and the refugees have jumped back into the system, but one of them is very unfortunate enough to rush into the Leviathan's swarm and was torn to pieces on the spot, and the other returned to the air corridor created by the fleet at full speed, survived, and then returned to the ground starport to wait for the next batch of refugees to load the ship.

At the same time, the enemy swarm launched another general attack. News of fierce fighting was coming from all fronts. Although the battle line has not yet been broken through with the help of the Behemoth swarm, it is only unknown whether the enemy swarm will be able to survive until all the refugees are evacuated if the enemy swarm maintains such a high-intensity offensive.

Of course, there was no place where the battle was fiercer than Port Charles. The other party's worm mother knew very well that Port Charles was the only way for the refugees on this planet to retreat, and a considerable number of insect swarms tried to break through the defense line of Port Charles through the tunnel worms.

At this time, in Port Charles, A1's troops had established a very complete forward base. However, there is really no good way to deal with the pit bug humans, especially the kind of giant pit bugs that are quite terrifying enough to travel hundreds or thousands of kilometers, and sometimes even a solid alloy floor may not be able to withstand the powerful destructive power of these pit bugs.

Behemoth's swarm is capable of hatching Tunnel Worms, but this situation is mainly used to quickly support various fronts, and the giant Tunnel Worms require a lot of resources and time, so there is no need for them in this situation.

The Tunnel Worm is indeed a problem, and a more serious problem is that as the damage to the fleet's two ships gradually increases, its attention has to be focused on maintaining the air corridor, resulting in the Leviathan being pinned down gradually decreased, and in order to take Port Charles as soon as possible, Leviathan began to continuously drop airdrop bags to the ground to increase the pressure on the defense.

As a last resort, Behemoth had to allocate some of its resources to hatch the Spore Battery, a large orbital defense structure that was the backbone of the swarm's orbital defense network, and Behemoth used it mainly to intercept the airdrop sacs. Agrea's orbital defense network wasn't too tight in the first place, and it had been almost destroyed by the swarm before. And the construction of the human orbital defense network is too cumbersome, and it is far from being able to be built in the field by relying on SCV alone.

Port Charles.

Ral pushed the corpse of the jumping worm away from him, panting against the battlements behind him. The continuous combat has caused his physical exertion to be very large, even with the support of power armor.

"Hah...... ......" he looked at the corpse of the jumping worm, his eyes a little complicated, "...... I didn't think I'd be saved by a bug one day......"

It was a jumping worm of the Behemoth swarm, and when he was about to be hit by the spine needle of a stinging snake, he rushed out to block it for him, and the powerful kinetic energy of the spine needle pushed the jumping worm directly backwards, and he was also swept to the battlements with him. And at the same time as the spinal needle, it was the bullet of the piercing hand in his hand. The stinging snake was not in sight though...... But the city wall is so high, if you don't fall to death, you should be half-crippled.

"Squad leader...... This is Ral, please reply when you receive it. ”

There was a busy sound on the communicator, but no one answered.

"Repeat, squad leader...... This is Ral, please reply when you receive it. ”

Ral looked around, and in addition to the corpses strewn all over the ground, there was the constant sound of gunfire and roars in the distance.

"Is this section of the wall dead except me?" Thinking of this, he didn't care about his intense physical exertion, and reluctantly struggled to stand up, holding on to the battlements, and looked around, only to find a pile of dead human and insect corpses.

"Damn ......"

In the distance, the spore battery is still spewing giant spores into the sky, while airdrop sacs continue to fall from the sky to the ground.

The silence of this section of the wall was almost tingling, and it made Ral even more panicked.

"76-3 call B6, over!"

He tried to call the platoon commander, but the communicator was still busy, and no one responded. He angrily tapped his helmet: "Damn the communicator! ”

This situation is extremely dangerous, but his job is to hold on to this section of the wall until the swarm stops attacking or the above asks for a retreat.

It was as if he had gone back to that time. As a last resort, he shouted directly in the public channel: "This is the 17th Infantry Banlar of the 76th Independent Company of the Black Rose Pirate Regiment, and I am on the wall of Port Charles in 057301." I'm the only one left here, and I ask all the units that hear it, if possible, to send out their forces to help! ”

He checked his piercing hand and ammo count, took out the remaining ammo from the ammo box next to him—and began to pick up the empty magazine next to him to press the bullets.

Honestly, it shouldn't be done on the battlefield, but he doesn't have anything else to do now. If this section of the city wall really wants to fight again, he will definitely not be able to defend it, but if he retreats, he will definitely have to deal with his head by military law, so it is better to sit down and press the bullet to replenish some ammunition to prepare for the follow-up battle. When you die, you can also pull a few more pads.

"Huh...... Can you hear ME? This is the 17th Mechanized Infantry Squad of the 8th Independent Company, Private Lal received please reply. Just as he was busy pressing the bullet, a voice suddenly came from the communicator.

"Ah...... Yes! It's me, I can hear it, the signal is clear! Please! Complete! Ral suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly replied to the communicator.

"The company has been broken up, we have lost contact with the company, we have no communication with the fleet headquarters, we have to regroup, please go to the 072294, altitude 300 to make peace with us, we have set up an evacuation point here. Complete. There was a reply from the communicator.

“…… Our squad was tasked with guarding this section of the wall, and if I left, it would be completely lost. I request instructions, and it's over. ”

"How do you defend the city alone? The situation now is that we have lost contact with the whole company, and we have to protect ourselves. Got it, private? If you want to survive, go to the evacuation point first, the enemy swarm won't give us much of a chance, you have an hour to get here, or we'll have to leave first. Complete. ”

“…… Received, I will arrive as soon as possible. Complete. ”

(If you think the amnesia is messing up your mind, you don't have to pay attention to the relevant plots, because in fact, those plots basically don't have an impact on the current main story.) I also did it on purpose, otherwise it might have caused the whole plot line to seem more confusing. ）

(Also, Aemon is not controlled by the nerve bundles, but by the El.) The purpose of cutting off the nerve bundle is to cut the connection with the El, and the El where the protagonist is now located is independent of the El of the Star Spirit Collective, which will be discussed later. The main reason for not leaving the nerve bundle is not because Aemon is likely to control it. ）
