Chapter 235: "The Last Battle Against the Alien Worms" (9)

"Give, I, get out, get down, go!" Ral gritted his teeth as he desperately slammed the cockroaches that climbed up with his rifle until they knocked them off the wall.

"Ha, ha, ha......" Ral gasped and glanced to the side, but was shocked to find that there was already a jumping worm on the other side of the wall, he quickly moved the muzzle of the gun, only to find that the jumping worm had died at the hands of friendly soldiers. Miles next to him gave him a thumbs up, then re-tilted his fire into the swarm of insects that were storming the fortress.

"CDC, what about the artillery support we want?!" Lal looked at the almost vast swarm of insects, opened the communication channel and roared at the communicator, "Lao Tzu sent you the coordinates five minutes ago—"

"Uhh

“**。” Ral cursed, "Useless idiots...... as he continued to fire at the swarm as he asked the Power Armor AI to redirect the channel to the Separate Company's communications channel.

"Company commander, this is Platoon B, what's going on over there at the CDC?!"

"I can't get in touch here, I've already sent someone back to ask, now guard your position, don't let the bugs rush in no matter what." Douglas's voice sounded eager, "Now our third-level channel is also in a mess, and I'm trying to find out the situation, anyway, hold on first!" After saying that, the other side turned off the communication, leaving a solemn Ral.

"This is Class 8, platoon leader, one of our brothers has fallen! Hoffman, drag him to the back and don't block the fire! You, what are you doing in a daze, hurry up and get that machine gun under control for me! We need human support, or we won't be able to survive! ”

"This is the 17th independent company C platoon 72 squad, what is the situation now?! Our squad leader was just killed by a stinging snake, and I only have the last magazine left in my gun, and I can't contact any reinforcements at all, and now there is no one in command?! ”

"This is Platoon E of the 117th Company, I need fire support! Right now! I'm running out! Without support, I'll have to retreat! Support! Did you ** hear that! ”

"This is ......"

Ral glanced at the mission in the upper left corner of his power armor, and it was still only written: Defend the F7 section of the city wall, without any updates. Ral opened it and glanced at his B-Platoon soldiers' status display, only to glance at it and turn it off—there were too many glaring reds on it, and it was all dead lives.

Ral flashed to the side, and several spines shot through his firing port like lightning, straight into the wall behind where he had been, and plunged deep into it. Ral spat and turned to continue his attention on the swarm below.

When the battle really heats up, the intensity of the battle is beyond everyone's expectations. The troops on the defensive line previously placed at the entrance to the gorge could hardly get any effective support from the rear. From the location of the artifact to the entrance to the canyon, there was a fierce exchange of fire in every place. The swarm threw almost all units into battle, and a large number of king bugs and euglena struck the canyon in large numbers.

Before, it was still from the back of the canyon and the flanks, but now it is pouring into the canyon from all directions without concealment, as long as it reaches the place where it can be thrown in the canyon, it is thrown down, and it doesn't even care about what to throw, and some king insects are even throwing worker bees down, and these worker bees are thrown down and start to mutate the hatchery in situ, so frightened that the defenders have to quickly concentrate their fire to knock out the hatchery first, and then more units are thrown into the canyon during this time......

The way forward for reinforcements and supplies was almost completely blocked by fierce offensive and defensive battles, and the Star Spirits and Humans who remained in the canyon had no time to care about the war elsewhere, and all they could do was kill the enemies in front of them first—but these enemies were still rushing in front of them.

They underestimated the threat of tens of billions of swarms, and when the entire planet's swarm was mobilized, the threat index to this fleet was almost astronomical.

Of course, the good news is not without it, Renault's airdrop troops successfully caught the insects off guard in the nest area, they successfully destroyed a considerable number of insects including the main nest, and also cleaned up patches of fungus tumors. The Empire's mechanized forces, with the help of Talis, managed to surround and annihilate several armies of the Insects, though this did not help much in the current situation in the Canyon.

"Ral, we must evacuate immediately!" Four Eyes shouted anxiously in the channel, "If we don't retreat, we'll have to die on this wall!" ”

"Retreat? Where to retreat?! The road behind us was blocked by airdropped bugs, and we couldn't retreat at all! Miles exclaimed, "We can only rely on this wall now, and if we don't hold this place, we'll be finished!" ”

"! We're running out of ammunition now! Persisting any longer is a dead end—"

Before the Four Eyes could finish speaking, they suddenly felt that the entire city wall was suddenly violently hit by something, and a deafening sound of impact reached their ears, and the whole city wall trembled.

"What the hell is that a**?!"

Ral accidentally hit the wall next to him during the impact, and his head made close contact with his helmet, making him a little dizzy. When the exclamations of other comrades-in-arms in the channel reached his ears, he finally came to his senses, and when he looked closely, he saw a scene that stunned him: a giant thunder beast was slowly retreating from the city wall, and the impact just now was probably done by this big guy, and then suddenly accelerated in the rain of bullets and crashed into the city wall again.

There was another muffled thud, and the walls shook even more violently. Several of the Marines sat on their butts unsteadily, while Ral himself held on to the firing port and barely got shaken down.

Even though Char's temperature was far above the maximum temperature that the human body could bear, Ral still felt cold. As the beast shook its head and retreated again, he shouted in the communication channel, "All men of Platoon B immediately evacuate the walls!" Fast! ”

He had just finished speaking, but the communication channel was suddenly changed to a public channel, and an old and eager voice came from everyone's communicator.

"This is General Warfield, and my ship has been badly damaged! Hit! We are descending sharply and are about to crash into the main nest area! I call to all Imperial troops within range of communication, we need support! Fast! ”

Ral looked up, and in the blood-red sky of Char, a reddish fireball was rapidly falling from the outside of the atmosphere to the distant nest area, accompanied by multiple small fireballs scattered and falling from them. Despite the firelight that enveloped most of the object, Ral could make out the battlecruiser's classic hammerhead bow.

“…… God, if you really exist, please save us......"
