The war in the upper nest was still going on, and the entire crew of the First Army, which was focused on the battle, did not yet know what was going on at the spire.

This was an all-out war, so the 47th Regiment led by Klein did not defend fortresses and people at the bottom nest that did not need to be defended by others at all, but participated in this offensive battle.

In a block on the eastern edge of the Upper Nest, Crane sat inside a modified Riemanruth tank, directing the battle while keeping an eye on the road ahead.

Most of the enemies are fleeing, and the few who hold out realize their mortal fate and choose to carry out a frenzied attack with explosives on their backs.

Klein saw that the counterattacks on the positions directly ahead of him suddenly became very scarce, and then some of the enemy poked out of the trenches or buildings, untied smoke grenades from their waists and threw them.

The entire block was quickly enveloped in thick smoke.

"Turn on the thermal." Klein ordered in the regimental communication channel.

Without his order, the soldiers of the 47th Regiment had already turned on the thermal imaging function of the power armor, and the smoke looked foggy in the field of vision, which not only did not have the effect of shielding the enemy, but even made the enemy's outline appear more clearly.

Unaware of this, the enemy ran out of trenches or buildings, carrying all sorts of explosives on their backs.

Some were hot melt bombs, some were a bunch of grenades trapped together, some were carrying a bag full of powder explosives......

"Kill them." Klein ordered.

The drone that generated the gravity shield temporarily turned off the gravity shield, and the laser rifles in the hands of the infantry began to fire in a volley, the main tank gun fired, and even the heavy explosive bolts on the armor on the left and right sides of the turret began to fire.

Enemies were harvested in pieces, one by one falling or smashed by heavy weapons, and their explosives were detonated.

The ground trembled with the violent explosions of various explosives, the deaf explosions were filtered by power armor, and the overwhelming shrapnel and debris were intercepted by the reopened gravity shield.

"Forward, forward." Klein ordered eagerly.

The 47th Regiment immediately started the biological scanning and advanced, coming to the enemy's position.

The position was in the very center of the neighborhood, and the enemy had placed all sorts of heavy weapons and fortifications in luxurious buildings or on roads.

The arrangements didn't help, and Crane didn't care about them, but as the tank he was riding floated over a large number of obstacles to the center of the position, Crane immediately pushed open the hatch and leaned half out of the turret to observe a mansion-like building in front of him.

Half of the building was destroyed by artillery fire.

"Go check it out...... Go and see if there's anyone alive inside. Klein gave the order to the guards.

"Sir, the probe results of the biological scan show ......"

"Go see, please."

The guard wanted to say that the biometric scan showed that there were no living people nearby other than himself, but he noticed that Crane was not in the right state at this time, so he went into the mansion to check it out.

The result was unexpected.

"Report, there is no one in there, I only found some enemy corpses in the remaining bedrooms and kitchens."

"Hoo ......"

After hearing the news that there were no living people inside, Crane breathed a sigh of relief, retracted into the tank and said to the surrounding crew: "There are no civilian bodies here, which means that the civilians here are not dead, right?" ”

The crew stared wide-eyed, not knowing how to respond.

The crews knew more about Crane than they did outside, and they knew that the building that Crane had the guards go in to investigate was his home.

Just as Klein was about to say something, a hologram of Qin Mo appeared on the command equipment in front of him.

"Legion Commander." Crane saluted as much as he could in the cramped cabin.

"I found something at the spire, something about your family." Qin Mo said, "But I'm not sure if you can accept it." ”

When he heard this, Klein realized what Qin Mo wanted to say, he just wanted to know if his family was still alive, so he nodded.

Qin Mo on the hologram clicked a few times into the air, and then a video was transmitted to Crane's power armor.

When Klein saw his grandfather in the cage with the rest of his family, they at first looked relaxed as if they were about to be saved.

Then, after a while, their expressions changed to horror again, as if they realized that the cage they were in was a cage.

The flames burned in the air, and the flickering flames gradually turned blue, and all the people in the cage were burned to ashes.

After watching the footage, Crane shuddered and opened his mouth to say something or cry, but his voice was squeezed in his throat and could not come out, only a slight whining sound came from his throat.

His reaction became more and more intense, then gradually subsided, and finally became expressionless.

"Get out of the tank and get ready to teleport and hand over your command to the lieutenant for the time being." Qin Mo ordered, "If you want to say something to others, I'm in the cave of the fortress." ”

"They deserve it." Crane suddenly uttered cold words, "Why don't they listen to me and go to the bottom nest with me?" They deserve this fate for these short-sighted fools! ”

Crane was now angry that he was not indifferent to his own family members, and in fact he had returned to his family during the confrontation when there was no war, and suggested that everyone go to New Cato together.

All the people of the family are different from the other rice buckets with nests or spires, either generals who have studied at military schools or architects who are well-versed in the art of engineering, and there will be a place in New Katori.

And then no one listened.

After feeling the pain of being a relative, Klein looked at it from his own point of view, and he really felt that the people in his family deserved it, because it was not that they were not given a chance.

"Are you sure you can continue to take on the command role?" Qin Mo asked.

"I'm sure I can." Crane nodded calmly.

Qin Mo believed it, because he knew that Klein was not a person who was easily emotional, so he didn't interfere too much.

"Keep fighting." Qin Mo turned off the communication.

Crane immediately manipulated the equipment in front of him, confirmed the location of friendly troops and enemies with a larger area of bioscanning, and then calmly gave the order: "Everyone go ahead and remember our rules: bioscans must take precedence over our actions in street fighting." ”

The 47th Regiment continued to fight, moving forward as they turned on the bioscan to move to the next position to attack.

Roads can occasionally scan for enemies located in buildings next to the street, which are usually points of fire left by enemy troops to block passing troops.

However, these points of fire would be noticed by the Praetorian guards before they could be fired, and then the Praetorian guards would fly from nowhere and smash directly into the building in the eyes of everyone in the regular troops, and the entire building would be shattered after a random hit.

The artillery shells had already destroyed large buildings and fortifications before the regular troops marched, and had cleaned the brave and stubborn defenders of the positions when most of the enemy had fled.

Even if the terrain of the upper nest is limited and it is impossible to carry out an instant teleportation assault, the First Army still has the combat power to sweep through the enemy.
