Sacrifice forges the future, the blood of the dead water the blossom of hope, and everyone is only an insignificant cornerstone in this great war.

In the future, perhaps no one will remember these sacrifices, but we are still not afraid because we died for our beliefs and ideals.

Sima Changguang stood on the city wall, his eyes resolute looking at the mecha corps that was fighting bloodily in the distance.

Stya's last roar rang out from the communication channel, and her position was drowned out by the intense light from the explosion, and a large area centered on her mech was instantly emptied.

The defense line formed by the obsidian mechs was breached, and the swarm of insects swept through like a flood and swooped down on the towering walls.

The artillery positions on the city walls continued to fire, and the massive cannon made the majestic walls tremble with every firing of the cannons.

The commanders of the artillery positions shared the coordinates of the strike, bombarding the swarm on the ground for a moment, doing everything in their power to prevent the swarm from approaching.

Sima Changguang was in charge of the defense and command of the first wall, and the Storm Warriors were not on this wall, because the outermost wall was too long, and the number of Storm Warriors was not enough to hold such a long line, and they were all there at the second wall.

When the swarm breaks through the first wall and enters the fortress group, they will attack and fight the insects in the narrow path in order to maximize their advantage.

Sima Guang's eyes were cold, and he rubbed the ring on his hand, which was a gift from his wife.

When he decided to follow the conscripted army to the First Expeditionary Army, his wife was prepared that her husband would not return.

There are really too few men and women who can come back from the expeditionary force, and they basically never return. Sima Changguang really wanted to stay in Betelgeuse to accompany his wife and children, but he also knew that the bloodline of the Sima family was destined to sacrifice himself for the God Emperor.

His father was so, he was, and in the future, his children would be so.

Sima Changguang thought of his wife and children, and he wondered if his children would be like him, complaining about his father's lack in the process of growing up in life.

It should be, after all, I used to hate my father so much at the beginning.

The child will definitely think that he could have stayed with him, but he chose to participate in the expedition without looking back, and he did not love himself at all.

Sima Changguang sighed lightly and refocused his attention on the roaring swarm, which were still coming, as overwhelming as the tide, with no end in sight, no matter how many artillery pieces were destroyed, they would replenish at a very fast speed.

The fearless sacrifices of the MechCorps cost them a lot of money, but it wasn't enough to break their bones, and the corpses were dragged away and converted into nutrients, and new swarm warriors were bred from the scattered mothers.

"Get the armored units ready."

Sima Changguang lowered his voice and gave the order, so that the armored cluster was ready, and when the first wall was lost, it would be their battlefield.

There is no way to accommodate so many mechs in the fortress group, so the obsidian mech corps can form the first line of defense, which is the best option to maximize their usefulness and slow down the swarm.

War is like this, where the value of a combat unit is greatest, then it will be consumed somewhere. Many people mistakenly think that war is a romantic thing, but it is not romantic, it is only cold and cruel in nature.

With the overwhelming attack, a large number of insects and beasts fell under the city wall, and the number of enemies killed by each army was rising rapidly, and Sima Changguang commanded the troops to use dense firepower to eliminate the number of enemies wave after wave.

However, the Swarm's offensive was never weakened, and after realizing the ferocious firepower of the Empire, a number of special Swarm units were thrown into the battlefield, all created to break through the human fortress swarms.

The Swarm is not a low-intelligence beast, it has a talent for learning quickly and evolving a unique style of restraint tactics for its enemies.

It is learning rapidly on the battlefield, improving tactics and creating new classes for the Empire's defenses.

The swarms have no specific mode of combat, no honor, no rules, and their only purpose is to win and then devour the enemy.

Truth be told, for that alone, the swarm is far more powerful than the enemies the Empire has ever encountered, and can even be called a race born for war.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the swarm, just the vanguard force that has entered the galaxy, not the real main force.

Some of the poisonous smoke insects with giant pipes growing behind them and looking like beetles are constantly using the pipes behind them to emit puffs of yellow mist.

The fog quickly spread, obscuring people's view and reducing the visibility of the battlefield, making it impossible for even advanced radar arrays to detect their tracks.

Those tentacled insects crawled on the corpses with incredible speed, and used their unique color-changing skills to camouflage themselves, quickly crossed the Empire's firepower blockade, and after touching the city walls, they used their tentacles to quickly climb up, destroying the shield generators and energy pipelines on the walls.

The first wall was lost in the swarm's trickery and cunning, and when the tentacle worms destroyed the shield generator, the massive insects that were able to use their swollen abdomen to shoot plasma balls of plasma began to shoot plasma balls at the walls.

Under the opponent's artillery attack, the Empire's artillery fire weakened a lot, resulting in the inability to contain the madness of the insect tide, and soon the first wall was declared to have fallen, and insects with terrible mouthparts and sharp arthropods continued to climb the city wall and began a massacre.

The Empire's uniforms were easily sliced apart like blank paper in front of the swarms, and in a short time, the walls were littered with human corpses.

Sima Changguang retreated to a heavily armored hovercar, directing the troops to evacuate inside, and at the same time letting the armored clusters that had already been assembled open fire to suppress the insects and beasts that ran to the city wall, creating time for the defenders to retreat.

The fall of the Mecha Corps' defense line and the first wall is expected, and the only value is to hold it out as long as possible, so that more preparations can be made later.

The fort complex is built on the mountain, and the more the fort in the core, the higher the position.

When the insect beast crossed the first wall, it was hit by saturated fire from the tank and artillery clusters that had been prepared for a long time.

The tank ruthlessly crushed the smaller insects, and the large ones were killed by the fire, and in a short time, a large number of insect and beast corpses appeared on the city wall.

However, the swarm's strain reaction was far beyond imagination, and they soon made a strain, putting Sima Changguang and the others in a predicament.

Two thousand words, enough for six thousand, another day
