"What's the command?" Gray stared at the position ahead and asked Qin Mo for his next order through the communicator.

In order to quickly analyze the data of the first large-scale transmission and improve the teleportation device, Qin Mo did not appear immediately, he was in the fortress, observing the outside world through Gray's visor.

"Let the other side step back a kilometer and hand over the position in front of the passage to us to take over." After Qin Mo gave the order, he no longer paid attention to the outside world, and calmed down to analyze the transmitted data.

Gray received the order and immediately thought it was time for war.

Because since the other party stayed outside the blocked passage, he was prepared, and whoever opened the passage must stop him.

Such a request to take over the position is obviously unlikely to be granted.

But Gray was ready for battle, he took a step forward, raised his arm and said to the general in the position: "Stand back a kilometer, this position is ours." ”

"But...... But the position was for defense...... "The general resisted, as expected.

"The passages are blocked, who are you building such a large position to defend?" Gray took another step forward, and the shoulder cannon began to charge, "Do as I say, or you will bear the consequences." ”

The general felt very helpless.

In fact, no one was defending this position, because the passage had been blown up and it was impossible for anyone to escape from it, at least at the time it was thought that no one would escape.

This position was only a small part of the original defensive position, and most of it had been withdrawn.

But now that a group of people has emerged, this position is very necessary, and it cannot be given up under any circumstances.

"Can we ...... ......"The general walked forward, trying to de-escalate the situation," the general said "I'm here because I received news that the offensive plan had failed, and that the collapse of the passage had only happened after the defense. ”

"I can understand how angry you are right now, you feel like you've been sold."

"I don't know what you've been through in the Bottom Nest, but we're all part of the Planetary Defense Force, we're comrades-in-arms and partners."

"If you want to talk, I, Barrett, am here."

While the general named Barrett kept approaching and making attempts at de-escalation, Gray waited quietly for orders from Qin Mo, his shoulder cannon and shotgun lasers ready to fire.

If Qin Mo gave the order to fire, then Gray would not hesitate.

"He doesn't seem to be in the know, but it is not ruled out that he is just bluffing us, bombing the place where the tanks are parked on the right side of the position." Qin Mo ordered.

Gray immediately controlled the shoulder cannon to aim at the right rear of the position, and a ball of light flew out of the shoulder cannon in the air and drew a perfect arc towards the target position.

The ball of light exploded in the air, and countless beams of light fell towards the tank parked on the ground like a rain of beams.

In the "rainstorm", the armor of the tank was gradually melted, and the metal ground was also ablated with craters.

This attack frightened Barrett and his men, and although all the tanks were slowly being ablated, if the attack of the man in front of him was not aimed at the tanks, but at the soldiers present......

"You...... You are attacking not the people in the position, but the parked tanks. Barrett held up his hands, "You do want to talk, don't you?" ”

"Don't talk about it." Gray aimed his shoulder gun at Barrett and said, "One kilometer back." ”

Barrett began to hesitate.

At this point, Gray's shoulder cannon began to accumulate energy, and although it had not yet been converted into a beam, Barrett could already feel the hot heat.

Barrett glanced back at his soldiers.

All the soldiers had frightened and worried expressions, on the one hand, they really did not want to fight the army in front of them, and on the other hand, they felt justified and questioned.

Because the news they heard when they came to set up was that the people of the First Legion had died in the bottom nest, and they did not send a distress signal to their superiors at all, it was too late to send troops to carry out rescue.

Some of the people in the 1st Regiment were the brothers and sisters of the defenders, and it was impossible for them to open fire on those who suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Okay." Barry nodded and turned to wave to his lieutenant.

The two sides retreated and advanced, respectively.

The situation of the lower nest and the bottom nest in the nest capital is completely different, although the sky is also invisible, although the same head can only see the giant pipe and the endless dark space, but the lower nest has the largest population.

At this time, many civilians were already attracted to the onlookers.

Barrett didn't feel ashamed, he just felt lucky, because the people in front of him who had escaped death had at least not been carried away by anger.

After Barrett and his men withdrew a kilometer, Gray and the army behind him also stopped.

"Well, it's time for a standoff. Let the others set up their positions and wait for the negotiations, and I will be there in person when the negotiations begin. Qin Mo gave one last order, and then continued to do business.

Gray conveyed the order, and the regimental commanders Duncan and Crane immediately arranged for the troops to deploy defenses, and the logistics machinery helped them strengthen and expand their positions.

……

By the time Barrett led his troops back, the Hold's top brass had been informed, and they had begun their meeting at the Governor's Manor at the Spire.

The spire is the pinnacle of the entire nest complex, far from the heavily polluted planetary ground, and the nobles who live here can enjoy the purest air and the most beautiful environment.

Every building is resplendent with gold, and every garden is full of flora and fauna that cannot be seen in the lower and lower nests.

The aristocrats sat in the garden and discussed things while admiring the botanical works made of metal.

"Why is the Governor still nowhere to be seen?"

"He's got a weird personality, you know."

"What the hell are we going to do with the mess left by the Governor? He figured out a way to get the marshal to die in honor, and then he figured out a way to deal with his family, why couldn't he find a way to deal with these troops that suddenly appeared? ”

"What else can be done, they are deserters, and they will all be executed as before."

"Are you kidding?"

The nobles were halfway through the discussion, and then they all looked at the state church who was sitting in the center.

"Say something David, don't be silent, as if we're squeezing you out." A noblewoman said.

David is responsible for spreading the state religion on the Tyrone Hive and handling the religious affairs of the entire Hive, and he has a pivotal role, as long as he personally designates the First Legion as a heretic, hundreds of millions of believers on that planet will form a powerful armed force.

But David didn't say a word, he just stroked the strong-brained cat in his arms.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, the nobles continued to discuss.

"Let's go to war."

"I'm in favor of going to war."

"Not only to go to war, but also to execute Barrett and make him pay for his compromise with the rebels."

“……”

"No, we can't go to war." David spoke slowly, then got up under the gaze of the nobles, and said in a sonorous voice: "The first legion of the local planetary defense force is not a rebel, they are staunch believers of the God Emperor, otherwise they would not have survived in the nest, the real rebels are those aliens in the nest." ”

After finishing his words in the smiling eyes of the nobles, David turned and left, leaving another sentence: "Let me negotiate with them." ”
