……

120 years ago, the launch base:

Thundered! Bang! Boom Boom!!

Air.

Dense clouds of bombers soared into the sky, and the roar of the aero engines sounded like thunder to the soldiers on the ground, planting the flowers of flame that represented death in the land that had already been destroyed by several wars.

Ground.

Heavy steel tracks rolled forward, and the tank and combat vehicle that ran over the ground caused a strong tremor, crushing the wreckage of equipment or the corpse of a soldier in front of him.

The accompanying armored car was filled with heavily armed fighters, their faces were different, but their eyes were focused on one place:

That, where they're going now.

At the end of the earth, there stood a tower that reached the sky and led straight to the thick clouds, the huge base and the slender track cables, as if the mortal dust and the gods were in contact at their fingertips.

One of several rail elevators in the world that are still in operation in the hands of government forces.

Now its periphery is suffering from the overwhelming frenzied offensive of the People's Army, and countless flesh-and-blood warriors on the battered front are waging an extremely bloody and brutal annihilation war with various types of unmanned combat robots, whether it is a variety of heavy weapons or individual light weapons that can be seen everywhere, both sides have all used them without reservation at the first moment of the outbreak of the battle.

In the sky above the battlefield, you can faintly see the huge and magnificent Torch Colonial Ark through the thick clouds.

The ship of life, built by gathering almost all the world's available resources, was quietly moored in a special mooring platform in the spaceport above, as if the gods from above looked down on the mortal dust, as if the cruel war below had nothing to do with it.

But now, it is not ready to set sail, and countless space engineering ships are putting the finishing touches around it.

"Damn it! It took so much time to break through the defenses!"

Near the core defensive position of the rail elevator, a team of heavily armed special operations teams is methodically and quickly breaking through the defense line in front of them.

Compared with the main forces of the People's Army who were still fighting with the main force of the government army in the back, Lawrence, as the leader of this team, glanced at the tactical watch on his wrist with an extremely ugly face, and immediately raised the rifle in his hand again, and said without looking back: "We must hurry, otherwise when this bastard Curry leaves here, we will never have a chance to stop the torch!"

"Roger, we won't let these traitors go!"

The next few teammates responded immediately, and their words were full of murderous aura that could not be concealed.

Some time ago, the unmanned units of the government army broke through several lines of defense of the People's Army, and successfully sent the last manufactured fusion core to the last orbital elevator currently in the hands of the government army, and is currently undergoing the final ground commissioning operation.

Even if there are still many members of the government army who have not yet boarded the starship, the command is willing to believe that those who have now boarded the Torch will not hesitate to abandon this part of the people and set sail directly in this situation.

They also know very well that if they don't set sail, they won't have a chance to set sail.

The command center immediately formulated a general attack plan, using the main force to attack the opponent's position to attract the enemy's attention, and send elite special forces to kill it, so as to destroy the transportation capacity of the rail elevator and completely stop the Torch plan before the other party sends this thing up!

As he spoke, the squad that was walking quickly through the defense base fired again and again, and after a series of lightning flashes, several combat robots along the way fell to the ground with a few thuds.

These miscellaneous soldiers along the way did not even have the ability to stop the progress of this team.

……

A few minutes later, the rail elevator ground control base:

Bang bang bang!!

Under a series of special gunfires, the special operations team led by Lawrence did not know how many times they killed several armed robots in front of them, but even if the command gave everyone the best experimental equipment for this mission and sent the best fighters to execute, the team still lost several good hands in this kind of sudden assault.

Just because they're the strongest special operations forces doesn't mean they're all invulnerable supermen.

If this was placed in normal times, even the loss of one person would be enough to make Lawrence, the captain, feel distressed for a long time, but now he is still moving towards the interior of the base with a solemn face.

He knows it well.

Even if the main force is outside to greatly attract the attention of the government army, but the defense troops stationed in this base are not vegetarians, and the rapid advance of themselves and others has made them already on their way here, in other words, there is not much available time left for themselves and others now.

Soon, a group of people burst into the vicinity of their destination.

The control center of the rail elevator!

"We're almost at the control center, remember, cut off the main power supply to the rail elevator immediately after the occupation, we can't send the fusion core to them!"

"If it's not ours, there's no mercy!"

At a corner, Lawrence, who led the team, suddenly stopped, and after repeating the combat mission in the communication channel again, the first one rushed out directly down the corner, and the gun was big for a while.

The gunfire lasted only a few seconds, and a powerful big foot violently kicked open the door of the control room that was riddled with holes by the magnetic track projectile, and before the staff in the control room who were busy operating something on the control panel in front of them could react, Lawrence and the others had already sent these people to hell.

"Spider! Hack the main control system and check the situation here, thug, you have some bombs ready for blasting! Blue Bird, you and the others blowing up the main passage leading to here should buy us more time."

"When that's done, let's get out of here!"

Lawrence strode to the main console of the control center, quickly giving new orders to the rest of the team on the way.

On the way, he raised his hand and glanced at the watch on his wrist, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Luckily, it caught up.

All that is left is to cut off the power and blow up the control center, and even if these government forces have the power to reach the sky, they won't even think about sending it up anytime soon.

The rest of the work is to hand it over to the large army to solve it.

Without this thing, the Torch would naturally not be able to set sail, and the government army, which had lost control of the rail elevator, naturally did not want to play any elite escapism in the face of the general trend of the people's army.

But before Lawrence could breathe a sigh of relief, the spider's exclamation made his heart that he had just put down reluctantly.

"Nope!"

The spider looked at the screen in front of her with a look of disbelief, but no matter how she manipulated the result, nothing changed, and she lost her voice, "Captain! There is no information data for the target! The fusion core isn't here!"

"What did you say?!"

Not to mention Lawrence's shocked face, even the command that has been following here through communication is in disbelief at this thunderbolt news.

"No fusion cores?! What does it mean to have no fusion core?! Where's the core?!"

"I...... I'm looking, wait...... Here's the result, Captain, here's a cargo transfer message that hasn't been deleted, and it shows that the fusion core had been sent into orbit a few hours ago from a secret small rocket launch base in the hands of another government army with the help of a space shuttle mixed with other cargo!"

"We...... We've been tricked, it's a blow, Captain!"

"What did you say?!"
