A high-latitude volcano near the West Sea began to erupt violently without any warning. The glaciers that had been accumulated for hundreds of millions of years began to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the ice and snow within a radius of hundreds of square kilometers of the volcano Mixed with melted slurry, it spreads towards low-lying places.
Wherever the molten lava passed, on the snowfield, which was originally barren, it was smeared in a mess. The red-hot magma was in close contact with the cold ice cubes, making the sound of chi chi barbecue, and the water vapor carried black ash, crazy. sprayed into the sky.
What followed was a strong earthquake with a magnitude of 9. Fortunately, the source of the earthquake was extremely deep, and the intensity after reaching the surface was greatly depleted, and the surface of this planet that had been fighting for decades, except for Outside the military vehicle mecha walking in the wilderness, there are not many artificial buildings, so it did not cause too many casualties.
The arrival of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes is just a kind warning from nature to both sides of the planet who are busy fighting, and the overall temperature in the northern hemisphere in 5460 began to slowly rise. In this terrifying celestial phenomenon, a total of seven reorganization divisions of the federal ground forces retreated to the south at high speed.
On the side of K22 Bingfeng, there is a small imperial army stationed in the roadway. They were the first to notice the enemy's movement. They have long been used to fighting day and night. They were stunned to find that for four hours, although the federal artillery shells were still non-stop Bombing, but those difficult federal troops never attacked again.
The company commander pondered silently for a long time, slammed the wall of the cold-resistant concrete fortification with his hands, and crawled out of the roadway with a machine gun. The silence around was a little scary.
Climbing with difficulty over the thick ice blocks used to block Federal bullets at the entrance of the roadway, the company commander stood up with his gun leaning on the ground. How to speak.
Federals evacuated
Squeezed by the tragic battles and the desperation of being abandoned, he was about to go mad, and he was silent for a long time before confirming the fact. The roots of his beard were about to bleed, and he woke up from the cold. He turned around and ran into the alley with a face full of ecstasy. He shouted in a hoarse voice: "The Federals have withdrawn!
The imperial soldiers in the depths of the fortifications were stunned for a while, and looked at each other for a long time in disbelief before they believed what the company commander said.
The lucky celebration of escaping death in the alley did not last long, and people's laughter gradually became smaller, because they faintly heard a strange sound that they had never heard before, coming from the deepest darkness of the alley.
The company commander listened for a moment, and suddenly his face changed dramatically. He grabbed the gun beside him and rushed towards the side door of the alleyway deep underground, shouting loudly: "Prepare to fight!"
There was a faint rumbling sound from the depths of the alley. It was extremely heavy and powerful. It was not clear at first, but in a short period of time, it became as loud as a drum of war.
The imperial soldiers lay down on the ground, staring nervously and fiercely at the bottom of the dark alleyway. They did not know what these terrifying voices were. They subconsciously thought they were the new mecha weapons of the Federals, only heavy metal equipment. , can make such a loud noise, so it seems to be able to explain the sudden withdrawal of the federal troops across the glacier.
What came was not a new federation mecha that could penetrate deep into the glacier, but something more terrifying than a group of mechas.
The imperial company commander who was at the forefront listened to the loud noise like thunder, and his pupils shrank sharply. With a dim light, after seeing what it was, his body trembled violently because of fear, but he was too late. Turning around, before he could shout, he was hit hard against the wall, turning into a bloody corpse.
Thousands of tons of cold water, wrapped in heavy and sharp ice, accumulated at the top and crevices of the glacier, followed the underground channels created by nature, raging inside the glacier at a very fast speed, and finally entered the imperial people. The underground tunnel network that has been repaired for decades has turned into an unstoppable torrent of ice under tremendous pressure, spewing out!
With a loud bang, Ling Liu instantly rushed into the roadway of the imperial army, roaring and crashing against the hard concrete wall, making a thunderous roar, and then running out unscrupulously, turning into a streak on the steep cliff of the glacier. The fountain shot into the blue sky in the morning light, and it didn't fall down until it was dozens of meters high.
In a very short period of time, the astonishing flow of water destroyed all the fortifications in the roadway. As for those imperial soldiers, they didn't know where they were rushed, and it was difficult to see even a trace of blood in the roadway.
After a few minutes, the pressure in the crevices inside the glacier gradually equalized, and the flow subsided. The washed-out lanes were filled with icy cold water, and the quiet blue was like a deep lake with no bottom, with dense icicles and occasional broken empty boxes floating on it.
The temperature is still not high, and it won't be long before the tens of millions of tons of cold water in the roadway will slowly condense into ice again. When the temperature is higher in a few days, they will melt again, roar again, and maybe congeal again. , Repeated this countless times, maybe you can find the opportunity to be lucky enough to rush into the grassland neighbors in the south who have been separated for more than 2,000 years.
In the dark alley, there was a dead silence. Occasionally, the sound of water rippling and cracking sounded. The place where the federal troops could not get down in the bloody battle, the final position of the imperial expeditionary army, under the power of nature, it was an understatement. It turned into a dead place.
Several small sub-bases hidden in the glaciers in the K area were all destroyed by Liuling. The old General Ambri had already learned the unfortunate news. With the help of the guards, he slowly walked out of the gate of the base and looked east. Looking at the incomparably clear line of black smoke from the volcano, a complex emotion flashed across the old face.
If it was just a small current caused by volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, it should not have spread to the last base under his feet, the old general thought silently.
However, his mood was icy cold, knowing that this was just a self-comforting rhetoric-if it was really just a small drift caused by a volcanic eruption, why did the Federals withdraw? The Empire doesn't have enough sophisticated computers to do this research, but the Commonwealth does.
"Let the rest of the troops be dispatched, use the last of the ordnance reserves, and stop the federal troops withdrawing south at all costs."
"Don't try to intercept their combat troops, target their quick-setting concrete tanks and engineering mechs."
The old General Ambrie looked towards the south and said indifferently, "Remember, at all costs, no matter what level of officer, you must keep at least one federal soldier for me."
"Yes, Your Excellency," replied the guard beside him.
The old General Ambri narrowed his eyes and looked at the white snow in front of him. The wrinkles on his face were like snow layers blown by the wind. After a long silence, he added: "I know you are not afraid of death... but this time, you should not be afraid of death. , because this may be our last chance to not be afraid of death, and I will accompany you."
Some parts of the Planet Glacier area are still late at night, and some places have ushered in the early morning. The last warriors of the Imperial Expeditionary Force on the planet stepped out or climbed out of the narrow alleys. These exhausted and exhausted remnants of the army, whose armament and equipment are about to be depleted, have not had time to breathe the fresh air that has not been in contact for a long time. They glanced at the blue sky that had not been seen for a long time, and their eyes were filled with a faint and near-death-like emotion, silent and powerful. He leaned his body on the ground, supported his companions, and ran to the strategic nodes in all directions.
Nearly 10,000 Imperial soldiers didn't know what was going on on this planet. They didn't even know that a volcano erupted in the K area. The violent shaking the day before yesterday was a big earthquake in the distance. They only knew that it was an order from their superiors. It was their last chance to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, so they walked out with firearms, and in broad daylight, they intercepted or pursued those federal troops whose equipment was far better than their own, and their men were dozens of times greater than their own. .
How crazy is this
The volcanic ash in the distant sky was blown away by the high-altitude cold wind. In the eastern sky in the early morning, the planet was clear to the outside of the seemingly unreal atmosphere, and a black line could be faintly seen.
That's the Federal Fleet in outer space.
At the entrance of the imperial base at the high altitude of Bingfeng, General Ambrie, who was insisting on standing in the wind and snow to send the soldiers the last way, was slammed down by his guards and then forcibly dragged into the solid base.
Sixty or so milky white beams of light emanated from the warships in space, and instantly entered the clear and sparse atmosphere. With the help of the precise positioning of the Charter Network, they fell ruthlessly towards the snowfield in all directions.
There was no sound that was too violent. The beam of light that was adjusted to attack the coverage area turned the countless imperial soldiers who were marching hard in the snow field into blue smoke, melted countless ice and snow, and collapsed the snow peaks. The whole process was like accelerating. In the spring, it seems to be so terrifying.
Just this round of battleship main artillery attack has already destroyed the two-year energy quota of the federation in peacetime. However, the imperial officers and soldiers who were shouting in vain to avoid and even cursing at the sky found in desperation that there was another in the sky above. Dozens of milky white beams of light blasted down.
In the face of the madness of the imperial people, the federal response measures were also crazy.
The ground troops of the seven federal divisions, under the cover of the fleet at all costs, accelerated their retreat to the south. After seeing those milky white beams of light, the growing suspicion and anger in the barracks suddenly disappeared.
The officers and soldiers still didn't know the real reason for the sudden retreat, but seeing that the Federation had used so many crystal ore energy quotas to launch a cluster space attack that had not been seen for many years, they knew very well that things must be tense to some extent.
Three days later, the retreat organized by the entire force of the Federation finally succeeded. All ground troops were withdrawn to the four military airports in the southern hemisphere, and were then carried back to space by numerous military and civilian space warships urgently mobilized by the government.
Only a few special forces and researchers remained on the surface. They were responsible for monitoring everything that happened on this planet, silently observing the end of the imperial expedition, and Xu Le also stayed.
