Black Arrow Star, the fortress-like palace of the Kingdom of Stefano, is already busy.

Today is the 42nd day of the invasion of the kingdom of Stefano.

Two months ago, the Alliance's army descended on this world, making almost all the countries on Black Arrow nervous. Even if those angry owls were not used by the starport, they simply relied on ground rail transport ships and landing ships to transport troops, equipment, and supplies to the surface one after another.

The spies assigned by various countries in the Kingdom of Luman have become significantly active.

They probe the specifics of the army that landed on the planet, trying to figure out their goals, their strength, and their specific weaponry......

However, before they could figure out anything, the war operations of the alliance army had already begun.

On the morning of the first day, Nes Luhmann made a global speech, the signal was open and audible, shamelessly vetoed the legitimacy of the King's Council as the governor of Black Arrow, and took out the explanation document of the star government, declaring all the 'countries' that resisted taxes as traitors to the Empire, and claiming that there was already an astral army that had come to Black Arrow to quell the rebellion.

At noon, urgent information came from the territory of the Luhmann Kingdom, saying that the army was moving, and it was suspected that it was coming to the Kingdom of Stefano.

In the evening, the border defense line of the Kingdom of Stefano had been crushed to scum by the Lion tanks of the Alliance.

This string of news came extremely quickly and very frequently.

In the last news, it was just said that the soldiers of the kingdom were resisting to the death on the border, and it was expected that they would be able to resist the enemy for ten hours, hoping to get reinforcements as soon as possible, and then the ministers of military aircraft began a heated discussion on where to deploy troops and how to arrange the entire defense line to stop the enemy. But before they could reach a conclusion, the next news was that the defense line had been breached.

This caused them a very big difficulty.

A whole day's planning seems to be in vain. Often, before a discussion or a plan has been released, the basis for the reality on which it can take shape no longer exists.

This was repeated over the course of forty-two days.

The military operation of the alliance can be called a blitzkrieg.

The kingdom's defense line was like a hot knife cutting butter, and it was easily stabbed in.

Behind the border, one defense line after another had just been formed, and was even in the process of being formed, when it was overwhelmed by the armed forces of the Raging Owls with artillery fire and armor.

Until today, judging by the latest news, the enemy's military front has reached a distance of three hundred and thirty kilometers outside the fortress capital of the Kingdom of Stefano.

Before the capital, there were only two lines of defense left to rely on.

In the court, tension, confusion, and even a little despair are spreading everywhere.

Under normal circumstances, those generals and ministers who are either graceful or resolute, although they are still trying to maintain decency and calmness at the moment, Queen Aspussy, as the monarch, can realize that her ministers and generals are already extremely flustered, and they can't even come up with a normal idea.

Honestly, she felt the same way.

But at the same time, she also had a deep anger.

The Kingdom of Stefano is the second largest kingdom on the Black Arrow Star, with a population of 70 million, one place higher than the third next door, that is, the Kingdom of Luman, but it is twice as large in terms of population and land area.

Stefano is the most powerful of all the neighbors of the Kingdom of Luhmann and the powerhouse of the entire planet.

Moreover, Stefano also has a strong military tradition. This country has always been a military country, there is a strong martial atmosphere up and down, and the courage and good fighting of the Stefano people are famous in the whole world.

Even the capital of the country is a huge fortress; The inner palace is also a castle with full defense.

Although Queen Stepsey was a woman, she was always proud of the courage of her ancestors. Succeeded to the throne at the age of nineteen to now at the age of thirty-five, in the past sixteen years, she has adhered to the will of her ancestors, from a woman who was only regarded as a 'transitional monarch' at the beginning, to a real queen.

Who in the entire kingdom does not submit to the rule of the Iron Curtain Queen? Who would dare to ignore this queen, who was in her early twenties and loved by the Janissaries, and dozens of people dared to stage a coup d'état at the palace and kill fifteen powerful ministers with guns in their own hands?

She ruled the country with iron and blood, and she would never want to see her most important ministers so panicked and without ideas.

She also knows that at this time, it must be the time for her to come forward.

She tapped on the table, and the ministers and generals sitting below the military council closed their mouths one by one, and looked up at their queen.

Aspussy's face, which was no longer young, had become even harder.

She decided: "Stop talking about things that don't have value. We have shrunk most of our forces, more than two hundred thousand warriors, and are ready to hold on to the fortress of the capital. At the same time, more than half a million fighters are heading to the capital across the country, and it will only take a month for them to gather. In another month, there will be another 500,000 troops. Our allies promised that within two months at most, a coalition of no less than half a million men formed by the King's Council would come to their aid. ”

"We will prepare for the worst, and we will fight a bloody battle to the death with the enemy in our capital, in our hearts! We have a 330-kilometer defensive line, a capital fortress garrisoned by 200,000 people, an upcoming army of a million kings, armies from our allies! I'm going to let those alien enemies smash their heads in front of the fortress made of flesh and blood by the Stefanos! ”

"No matter how powerful those alien enemies are and how advanced their weapons and equipment are, we must also let the enemy see the blood of the Stefano people!"

"I swear in the name of the queen that I will fight together with my subjects to defend this country and never turn back!"

"I believe that we will eventually achieve a complete victory in the war!"

Under the speech of the Queen of the Iron Curtain, the generals and ministers raised their arms and shouted!

Their morale is boosted, they trust their queen and are willing to shed every last drop of blood for Her Majesty!

However, at this time, a muffled sound penetrated the call of the generals, which was not very clear, but it was firmly transmitted to everyone's ears.

The cheers and applause gradually stopped, and then more and more frequent muffled noises continued to be heard, and it sounded as if it was getting closer and closer.

Many people think that it is very much like the sound of gunfire. But they thought it was too incredible, and under the Iron Curtain of the Queen, who would dare to use a gun in the Fortress of Stefano?

As for that more terrifying possibility......

It's not that no one thought about it, but no one thought it was true.

Intellectually, how could the Allied army, which was still 300 kilometers away this morning, let the sound of guns reach the ears of these people in the afternoon, separated by a strong fortress defended by 100,000 soldiers, separated by 100,000 soldiers?

Divine Soldiers from the Sky?

Even if there really is some divine soldier descending from the sky, it will be for you!

The Fortress of Stefano has a well-developed orbital air defense system. No matter what kind of plane you are airborne, or even orbital airborne, it is impossible to get in so easily.

So what's going on?

The face of the Queen of the Iron Curtain at this moment is really as iron.

Without her command, the military attache beside her had already rushed out to find out what was going on.

However, almost a minute or two later, the military attache who had gone out came back again.

Aspsy's close military attachés are all very promising rising stars. In fact, they were originally born in some military families, with excellent military literacy, and the Queen of the Iron Curtain established the position of military attaché in order to recruit these young elites, cultivate their abilities, cultivate their loyalty, and facilitate the future release into various armies, instead of the queen to control the kingdom's military power.

They should have been angry.

But when the sky is really falling, how many people who claim to be calm can really stay calm?

The military attache who came back looked flustered and hurried.

He said, "Your Majesty, the enemy has entered the fortress!" ”

The military attaché's father, a general of the kingdom, was on the scene. He really couldn't see it, stood up, and reprimanded: "Why are you so flustered?!" At most, it is just the infiltration of a few small forces......"

The military attache was rare and stubborn and pushed back: "It is indeed a small force, but they are space marines!" ”

Now, it's really silent.

Space marine? A Space Marine known as the Emperor's Angel of Death?

They remembered this information.

Almost two years ago, in the turmoil against the Gu family set off by the Luman Kingdom, among the troops who violently beat the Luman Kingdom army, there were indeed space marines who appeared.

Although, many of the kingdom's wise men, based on what they knew about the Space Marines, believed that this unexpectedly powerful force had only occasionally been invited to deal with the affairs of the Kingdom of Luman. According to the rarity of the Space Marines, they are unlikely to be driven by a single force repeatedly.

However, adhering to the spirit of thinking about the worst as possible in all plans and making the plan as comprehensive as possible, they still took into account such an oversized thing as a starmariner when formulating the corresponding defense plan.

The wise men of the Kingdom Army racked their brains to calculate the combat capabilities of the Space Marines with very limited information, and thought of many ways to deal with this super soldier.

However, now that the frontal battlefield has not encountered those emperor's angels, the capital that should be extremely safe, but it has been hit first?

How is that possible? Even if it's a Space Marine, how did they get in?

In the silence, the military attache couldn't help himself. He spoke again: "I have seen the surveillance, and when those red-armored giants destroy the knights stationed there, they are no different from the knights slaughtering unarmed civilians. The Knights of the Praetorian Guard couldn't stop their advance at all! Her Majesty, generals, ministers, hurry up, it's too late to run! ”

"Shut up!" The military attaché's father, the general, spoke again.

He was worried that his son would anger the Queen of the Iron Curtain.

Her Majesty the Queen has just been in front of a group of ministers, declaring that she wants to live and die with her subjects, fight with the enemy to the end, and never retreat.

Don't die, Her Majesty still has a face!

He looked up with some concern, but saw Her Majesty the Queen, who was blushing with an iron face, without saying a word, turned around and left.

……

Anato's smoking blaster put down his smug and watched as the last of the orange-painted Sentinel mechs fell in front of him.

Even though he had only been a Space Marine for two years, he was already used to fighting.

His eyes looked at a middle-aged woman in military uniform who was already trembling, but holding a pistol, trying to maintain calm, and the group of people who followed her, and said softly in a voice that could not be transmitted from the helmet: "Group A has cleared all enemies, intercepted the target, and confirmed it is the queen of the kingdom of Stefano, Stepusie." ”

He didn't feel like he had said anything wrong.

Although the queen had a gun in his hand, and several young military attachés next to him, and the so-called generals and ministers behind him also held weapons of self-defense, in his opinion, there was really no danger anymore.

A new command came from the helmet's built-in communication system: "Bring all targets with you, go to the rendezvous point, and try to make sure they don't die." ”

"Understood."

After answering, he raised his head, faced the local magnates in front of him, and said, "You have been captured, next, please come with me, and do not make any attempt to resist." ”

Behind him, five other fighting brothers slowly walked forward. With the muzzle of the gun, indicate the direction in which they are coming. Anato, for herself, walked straight for the queen.

A young military attache had the courage to stop in front of him, opening his mouth to try to say something, but Anato's hand waved his hand, and the back of his iron hand struck him in the face, leaving him headless.

Anato's footsteps walked up to the 'Queen' without stopping: "Stepussy. ”

He said his name flatly, without saying a word superfluously, but the muzzle of the gun already represented what he meant.

The Queen of the Iron Curtain gritted her teeth, but she could only do anything but follow the direction pointed out by the muzzle of the gun and staggered away.

They returned to the hall where the military council had been held at the beginning.

The six red-armored giants guarded all the entrances and exits, and anyone who dared to enter, or tried to sneak out, would be wiped out under the blaster gun.

Inside, including the Queen of the Iron Curtain herself, there were more than twenty people in total, and they were not even disarmed.

However, they can't afford to resist in the slightest.

Don't even dare to speak.

After an hour and a half of the occasional gunfire, they saw two other teams of Space Marines walk in.

"All air defense systems have been turned off."

"In an hour, the elite of the 10th Brigade will be parachuted."

"Take control of the entire fortified area, and we want to make sure that the city is free of obstacles when the main army arrives in two days."

"Guaranteed to get the job done."
