Listening to his flat tone, Barrit's heart that had just been relieved became suspended again. He felt that the haze of war that had just dissipated was now hanging over his head.
After thinking for a long time, Barritt could only whisper: "Help me tell your legion commander that we still have to put the overall situation first. The nest is our home, and we cannot let it be destroyed."
"Please tell the Governor if you can see him." Gray also whispered to Barrit, "Each of us has paid a huge price and sacrifice. This matter will not be resolved so easily. Let him be prepared to atone for his sins."
"You have such a bad tone." Barret rolled his eyes at Gray, turned around and walked towards his army.
At this time, the men of the Second Army were already gathering and preparing to evacuate.
Everyone gathered together, rejoicing at being able to withdraw from the front line of the confrontation.
Although they were not allowed to talk and laugh loudly during the assembly, the discipline of the Planetary Defense Force was not strong to begin with, and everyone was very happy, so the soldiers not only talked and laughed loudly, but even laughed in front of Barritt.
Barritt was also very happy. He even joined in the conversation and laughed, telling the soldiers what gifts he would buy for his wife and children when he returned home, and that he would hold another banquet to celebrate that he did not die in the confrontation.
Gray and his own soldiers looked at these happy people and felt inexplicably happy.
No one will hate the soldiers of the Second Army, they just obey the orders and deploy here.
Life in the lower nest is always depressing, but at this moment, in the area in front of this blocked passage, the people here are very happy.
Gray looked at the people in front of him with a smile, until he heard the beep sound inside the helmet and his smile disappeared instantly.
"Warning, warning, a large number of objects approaching at high speed have been detected."
"Warning, warning."
Without Gray reacting at all, his shoulder cannon automatically extended from his power armor and fired several small beams into the air.
The same goes for Anruida and others present.
The sound of the beam being fired aroused Barrit's alert. He looked at Gray angrily, thinking that Gray had ordered an active attack.
But Barritt's words of rebuke were not uttered because he heard the shrill screams coming from the air, which was the sound of falling shells.
Barritt stood there, looking back in confusion, and then turned to look at Gray again, opening his mouth a few times as if he was saying something.
The next second, a dazzling explosion flashed where Barritt was standing, and his entire body was evaporated along with the people and objects around him.
A large number of shells followed.
The soldiers of the First Army immediately entered combat mode and looked for bunkers on their positions.
The shoulder cannon of the Guards' power armor was still firing small beams to intercept the flying shells, so our side was fine for the time being.
But the Second Army was miserable.
They were gathering, and everyone was gathered together, almost to the point of being crowded.
As the shells fell among them, Gray saw a scene as terrifying as he had ever seen.
The explosion instantly evaporated hundreds of people at the center, and then the shock wave spread to all directions and shattered human bodies. Huge amounts of fragments were thrown into the sky, and then fell to the surrounding areas.
"Defense!" Gray no longer watched the miserable situation of the Second Army, because rather than being a bystander, he should immediately organize a defense in the sudden attack.
The commanders of each regiment received the order and immediately directed the soldiers to enter trenches and bunkers during the bombardment.
This position that originally belonged to the Second Army was expanded and reinforced, and now plays a good protective role.
……
Two hours later.
Bottom nest.
After the war began, the command building in the center of New Cato was opened, but due to the urgency of the war, everyone inside was in chaos.
In the corridor on the top floor, Qin Mo and Yao En, wearing guard power armor, walked forward one after another.
Everyone who passed them leaned against the wall and gave a hasty salute before continuing to do what they were supposed to do.
Qin Mo walked to the door of the combat conference room and pushed in.
Klein and some other senior staff in the room gathered in front of the hologram to discuss matters. When they saw Qin Mo, they immediately stepped back and made way for them.
Qin Mo walked to the holographic image and watched.
The holographic image has shown the situation of the entire battlefield. Our own troops are holding on to their positions and using advanced weapons and equipment to defend against the attack.
But the enemy is not just attacking positions outside the passage, they have begun to prepare to establish a defense line in the lower nest area close to the passage.
"Sure enough, the war started..." Klein looked sad.
"Let the army destroy the fixed weapons on the position and then teleport back to the bottom nest." Qin Mo did not listen to Klein's complaints and gave him his order.
Klein immediately picked up the communicator and conveyed the order in the communication channel, and then asked in disbelief: "Are we going to retreat?"
"The passage was originally blocked. After the confrontation turned into war, the position in front of the passage lost its meaning." Qin Mo stared at the holographic image. "They have to withdraw, assemble, prepare, and then directly teleport behind the enemy to launch an attack." assault."
"I understand." Klein suddenly realized.
Qin Mo immediately worked out a detailed teleportation assault plan with the people present, including where the unmanned artillery should be teleported to start the bombardment, and the teleportation positions of each regiment.
Chapter 61 Prophecy of Failure
……
On the battlefield.
"Disperse! Disperse them all!"
"We are going to teleport right away. Don't be reluctant to fight. Destroy all fixed weapons and prepare for teleportation!"
As the infantrymen on the position engaged in fierce exchanges of fire with the attacking enemy, the officers roared orders over the communication channel.
Soldiers immediately began destroying heavy weapons, attaching bombs to fixed weapons and blowing them up.
After doing all this, the soldiers immediately dispersed in any safe place to ensure that the two people would not become one person due to position deviation after the teleportation.
While the soldiers were preparing for the teleportation, officers at the level of regimental commanders had also entered the Leman Russ tank.
"The transmission is about to begin."
When a beep sounded on the communication channel, everyone's protective devices were opened and the barrier wrapped around the body.
"3."
"2."
"1."
After the countdown, all the people and equipment of the First Army were teleported to the bottom nest. Even the drones were not left behind. These soulless machines made it easier to teleport.
Everyone disappeared so suddenly that the attackers did not react at all and continued to attack the position for two minutes before gradually stopping fire.
Then the attacking soldiers took over the position with ease, extremely easy.
But everyone knows clearly that this is only a temporary victory, and they may face a very terrible attack next.
Stinger, who was directing the battle from a distance in the hive spire, did not immediately issue orders, but closed his eyes and used his psychic powers with all his strength.
A prophecy was playing before his eyes.
When his subordinates were feeling uneasy, a large number of energy rifts spread out behind them. The soldiers and tanks gradually condensed into entities, and then launched a ferocious counterattack.
The counterattack was launched not outside the position, but behind the entire front established by the leading troops.
At the end of the prophecy, his vanguard force of about 150,000 people was disrupted and easily destroyed by the enemy.
"What a disgusting technology." Stinger opened his eyes, frowning and thinking about how to fight next.
He is relatively familiar with teleportation technology. The teleportation technology used by the empire uses subspace for teleportation. It can move in and out of subspace quickly and briefly, and teleport from one place to another. It is easy to interfere.
But it does not rule out the possibility that the other party is using new technology. It is unreasonable to expect to rely on interference transmission technology to reverse the prophecy. The leading troops still have to evacuate. Anyway, they have eliminated the second army, which is not a loss.
Stinger closed his eyes again and sent a psychic communication to his generals: "Retreat. Cover each other and retreat."
After giving the order, Stinger stood up, looked at his servant, and ordered him: "Go prepare me the ritual and the consumables used in the ritual. I will make it impossible for the enemy to teleport."
"But my lord, the teleportation technology they use may not be based on subspace..." The servant knelt on the ground and said tremblingly.
"I have seen the teleportation technology used by those big lackeys of the false emperor when they jumped into gangs, and I even successfully interfered with it." Stinger pointed to the door, "Now get out and prepare."
"Yes, sir." The servant immediately ran out to prepare for the ceremony.
……
Inside the bottom nest.
The teleported troops have regrouped. They checked all the equipment on them to confirm that none of the equipment was damaged.
The guards like Gray received new orders.
"Next, you will be teleported to different areas, but the locations are all behind the enemy's lines. I need you to find a suitable area to place the beacon after teleportation."
"I think there are psykers among the enemies. If you see psykers in the battle, don't attack immediately but report them. Then Yaoen will go over and deal with the psykers."
Qin Mo spoke orders in the encrypted communication channel.
Gray and others listened carefully.
"These are the specific orders. Leave the rest to the transmission device and me." Qin Mo hung up the communication.
Then, except for Yaoen, everyone else was gradually wrapped by the barrier and then teleported to the location that Qin Mo had set up for them in advance.
After coming out of the dimensional passage, Gray found himself in an open area outside the first area. A group of enemy troops had gathered in the first area, then abandoned the place originally occupied by them and evacuated.
Gray immediately threw the beacon on the ground, then detoured in another direction to attack the enemy.
His guard power armor was fully fired, and his jetpack provided strong thrust. He moved and attacked at extremely fast speeds on the ground. Even if the enemy had noticed that he was alone, he still had to find a bunker on the spot. and fight back with all their might.
The enemy did not notice what was happening behind them.
When the energy cracks unfolded one after another and the 87th Regiment led by Duncan completed the teleportation, the enemy had already lost this short opportunity to intercept.
Duncan emerged from the tank hatch, raised his chainsword and barked the order: "Attack!"
The roar attracted the enemy's attention. When they turned to look in the direction of the sound, they immediately saw all the soldiers in power armor and the black muzzles of the Leman Russ tanks.
The next second the fire was on full fire.
The enemy didn't even have time to lie down on the ground, and was immediately covered by attacks from directly behind. Beams pierced their bodies, shells exploded between them, and more than half of the regiment was killed or wounded in less than two minutes.
Duncan ordered the advance, and the infantry advanced around the tank. The biological scan in the power armor had marked all enemies still alive. Even those lying on the ground pretending to be dead would have to be shot by them.
Gray did not continue to assist Duncan in the battle. He turned on biometric scanning and rushed to other locations and continued to place teleportation beacons.
