He knew very well that once that terrible biological weapon rushed into the ground, the fortress planet under his feet would no longer exist.

The situation in the fortress was very bad. Due to the large area of ​​guards, the imperial ground troops easily broke through the first line of defense. As a last resort, Vilny had to give up the periphery and transfer all his personnel and equipment to the inside, guarding several key lifting platforms connected to the ground. This gave the first time the troops available for him to use, and the exhausted soldiers also had a chance to breathe.

The long-term battle caused serious damage to Vilny's body. He became a little nervous, extremely tired, and sometimes even in a trance. But after all, he persisted until the end, using countless corpses and steel to block the Emperor** outside the base.

Thanks to the thick defensive sections on the outside of the planet, the garrison remnants who had rest time also launched attacks. They used sneak attacks to try to consume the personnel and supplies of the Imperial occupying troops. This small-scale conflict lasted for nearly two months. In order to achieve its goal, the federal defenders used all weapons, including poison gas and biological viruses. In the words of Lieutenant General Vilney: "Since those noble bastards broke the rules first, we must also let them feel the same terrifying taste———"

The Imperial Marine Forces used high-power drills to break through new channels. In response, the Federal Army had already set up a solid explosion-proof layer and a dense electronic guard system underground. Because the base has a food processing plant and a water purification system, the pollutants released by the Imperial were unable to perform their effects, but more than a dozen soldiers were accidentally injured and killed during the delivery process.

On November 6, the Emperor** carried out a large-scale air strike on the northern part of the fortress. The powerful ground-boring bomb, which was originally given high expectations, was still unable to explode the full metal protective layer of the base.

On November 8, the super heavy siege cannon was assembled, and the shell with a diameter of 1,500 mm was also disappointing.

On November 22, Emperor* released 5,000 micro-robots carrying viruses. They wanted to penetrate through the underground pipeline interface, but were blocked by electromagnetic protection devices and were all paralyzed.

On December 9, the heavy formation collider was blown up by federal infiltration personnel. It took more than a month of preliminary preparations to be completely wasted. Waiting for the second set of backup devices in China to restart the plan, it will take at least fifty-five days...

The battlefield records of the Emperor** are full of long-term defeats. There are hundreds of thousands of warships destroyed, more than 600,000 soldiers died in battle, and more than 50,000 technical weapons and armored vehicles were lost. Especially on the list of ordinary soldiers, there are also a row of as many as 10,000 nobles with various prominent titles.

This has far exceeded the prediction of the Pan-United Empire's war loss for the "Wrath of the Sky" fortress before the war broke out. Not to mention General Jace, even the Regent Rochester, who was in charge of the rear, was shocked by these numbers that represent eternal loss. Of course, as an opponent, Lieutenant General Villey did have reason to be proud and proud. He should be one of the best among the young federal generals. Whether the results of the battle or the time of persistence, it was beyond the expectations of the military. It also aroused praise among Zhou Yiming, General Farken and others.

However, Vilny himself did not think so. He only felt fear, even despair,—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

He was asking for help every day, asking for reinforcements, but the command of the military headquarters was always the same: "You must persist, you have the ability."

In order to increase the morale of the defenders, the military headquarters even upgraded the ranks of all the fortress guards by one level. So the private became a private, and Verny also became a general from Lieutenant General.

Vilny was completely desperate. He really saw through the dirty faces of the guys sitting in the office of the military headquarters - they wanted to defend themselves, or they had never thought about sending reinforcements. If they were not wrong, they would ask for more telegrams and a tougher tone. They might even make themselves the damn federal marshal. There was only one goal - to defend the fortress until the last person.

Vilny began to ask for support from other troops. The Seventh Fleet, Ninth Fleet, Eleventh Fleet, Vess Planet, New Pluto... The telegrams sent either have no responses, or the other party expressed powerlessness... In short, in the past few months, Vilny has not obtained a warship, a soldier, or an armored vehicle from other directions. The Imperial Fleet, waiting on the periphery of the planet, was originally afraid of this frequent telecommunications contact and drew a large number of troops to form defenses in the corresponding direction. However, the situation that worried them did not eventually appear. The Federation seemed to have forgotten this fortress guard and allowed them to fend for themselves.

......

The sand dunes are covered with the entire world that can be seen by the naked eye and occupy almost the entire planet ag64.

After the implementation of the Great Retreat Plan, desertification became more and more serious. Since the planet itself no longer has development value, the plan to extract water from the bottom layer for watering and cultivate a large number of plants has been completely terminated. The raging wind and sand have reoccupied the lost places, and more and more sandstorms have also appeared near Novo Minsk. However, for a city that has no residents and is completely abandoned, it is meaningless to be submerged by wind and sand or exist on the surface.

Zhao Yi lived a leisurely life. The war between the Earth Federation and the Pan-United Nations had no effect on him. On the contrary, the war caused market chaos, which was a great opportunity for him. In just six weeks, the Dragon Group had merged hundreds of various enterprises. These large and small companies were originally worth at least 50,000 Gigabits of federal standard currency, but now he spent only about less than 10,000 Gigabits of money to put everything in control.

Like all chaebols, Ace is also trying hard to acquire valuable companies. People know that this is the best time to get rich. The rich don't care about the victory or failure of the Federal Army. Many of them have begun to secretly contact the empire. As long as they master wealth, changes in social systems actually have little impact on life. Of course, this does not include the bottom of society, but also the citizens with the largest population.

"When this batch of materials is collected, I will go to the Alpha Galaxy with you———"

This is the most common sentence Zhao Yi said to Zhang Xiaoxian in recent times. It is also a lie that made Zhang Xiaoxian repeatedly turn in disappointment and expectation, and has no result yet.

Zhao Yi felt that he was becoming more and more greedy. As the war expanded, the value of federal currency continued to decline. In order not to make the money earned with great effort turned into a pile of waste paper, Zhao Yi could only try every means to spend them all. Even when the other party refused to sell the industry, he pointed his pistol at the holder's forehead and forced him to accept thick stacks of federal standard currencies.

This kind of behavior is actually no different from a robber. However, Zhao Yi is only responsible for the people who moved to the Alpha Galaxy. He knows that he cannot save everyone, but no matter what, the things taken out of a millionaire's pocket can indeed make hundreds of people live.

To be fair, he actually wants to join the war more than anyone else————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Zhao Yi even considered whether to blow up ag64 after evacuation and turn this into a new black hole in the universe?

For weeks, this has been the question he thought the most.

Now, he has to make a decision on another thing.

Since the war began, he has received many special communications from the fortress star "The Wrath of the Sky". Lieutenant General Vilney repeatedly asked planet AG64 for help in the telecommunications, and Zhao Yi never responded.

However, today, to be precise, it should be the communication sent from the Fortress Planet about ten minutes ago that made him hesitate.

The holographic screen remains unobstructed, with a dimly lit room in the background, and Villey, in the uniform of the Federation lieutenant general, sat in a chair with a tired and expectant expression on his face.

"Your Excellency, I hope you will seriously consider the suggestions you just now."

Lieutenant General Vilney spoke very sincerely: "The Wrath of the Heaven needs support. I don't know how long it will last. One week? Three days? or shorter... The Emperor's offensive is getting more and more fierce. Without a fleet, we cannot escape from this terrible place. Although there is a complete life supply system here, it cannot curb germs or poisons. There are too many people who died on this planet, and I have never seen so many corpses in my life. I feel like I am about to collapse... Please, for God's sake, save us and save those children."

The general's voice was getting lower and lower, full of sadness and pain. The holographic screen brought the two people far away millions of kilometers away very close. Zhao Yi could see clearly Vilny's face full of dust and wrinkles, mixed with old age and helplessness that was not his age.

Yes, he was crying. The turbid liquid overflowed from the corners of his eyes and slowly flowed down his face. On the surface of his black and gray skin, two curved streams were drawn.

Zhao Yi watched this scene quietly. He didn't know how to evaluate Vilny—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

"I know you have this ability. The new Forty-ninth Fleet can fight against the 11th Fleet of the Empire. I will explain everything to the military headquarters. There are still tens of millions of people here, and they should survive. At least, they should not die here."

The last sentence suddenly caused some long-hidden touch deep in Zhao Yi's heart.

He couldn't help but think of the dead souls in the s12 base.

It is located deep underground, very dark and can never be shined by the sun. When they were young in their childhood, survivors were always quarreling. Many people prayed in different ways. They were afraid of having entanglements with the outside world, but they were looking forward to the outside people to save themselves.

"Forget it! Let's see! The federal government has long forgotten us. There is radiation everywhere outside, no one will come to such a place, let alone rescue. If they really planned to do this, they would have done it long ago."

"I think it's better here than outside. Of course, it would be even better if there were a few big ass kids who could come in to accompany me."

"There are no policemen here, and no financial personnel deduct taxes from your salary. The food and drinks in the warehouse are rich, so I'm willing to stay here and never go anywhere."

Zhao Yi has heard of such words countless times. Those who are regarded as close relatives always use such topics as passing time when they are bored. However, Zhao Yi understands that deep in their hearts, they have never given up their desire for the outside world. They are more eager to get rescue than anyone else. Although, no one has ever said something like this.

When Aunt Nili died, her only request was "I want to see the flowers, the green, real trees."

Professor Sheikhd's desire to "bury my body in the sun."

It was not until a few minutes before closing his eyes that Uncle Lu Chenglu quietly told himself: "If you have the chance to go out, take my ashes away. There are damn rats and cockroaches everywhere here. I hate them and don't like them at all..."

Zhao Yi raised his head and looked up at the gray ceiling. His lost pupils stared at this layer of existence that blocked his sight, but his thinking passed through obstacles and fell in endless distant places.

After being promoted to general, he used his power to search carefully in federal archives, but did not find any rescue records about the S12 mine after the war. There was only a thin page of paper, and less than two hundred words of report showed that there should be some survivors in the underground space collapsed by tactical nuclear bombs... Obviously, the federal government and senior military officials have read the relevant documents, but no one thought of doing anything.

After all, it costs a lot of money to dig and search and rescue in a radiation-filled area.

After all, there is no development value there anymore.

After all, human life... is not worth it.

For some reason, Zhao Yi felt his hands trembling and his fists were clenching tighter and tighter. He suddenly realized that the long-term indifference and snobbery did not completely stiffen his heart. At least, when something that was involved in memories emerged again, he would still feel excited and still feel powerless to resist.

I killed many people, and too many people died because of me. But why, I still feel that those trapped underground... pitiful?

Reason told him that he could not agree to Lieutenant General Villey's request. Although, this was indeed a very attractive pie.

Zhao Yi has calculated his current strength and there is no problem in dealing with the 11th Fleet of the Empire.

Occupying the "Wrath of the Sky" can receive all the resources and equipment there, and tens of millions of war survivors can also move to the Alpha Galaxy. The total income is far more than the corporate group that you have tried your best to buy from the immigrant planet...

income?

Zhao Yi shook his head lightly, and a bitter smile appeared in his eyes.

He suddenly understood the words written by the poet in noble tone——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

“…I’ll come!”

This sentence was very sudden and completely unexpected.

Vilney on the screen slowly raised his head and looked at him with incredible eyes.

"Please be sure to hold on for a few days. I will order the fleet to start assemble."

Zhao Yi took a deep breath and said with a smile: "I will come to save you, I promise-----"

The corners of Villey's eyes and lips were twitching. At this moment, the expression on his face was very strange—it seemed to be crying, or laughing. However, the eyes that were revealed in the depths of his eyes were full of the most sincere gratitude.

From the first day of his siege of "The Wrath of Heaven", he has been sending messages of help to the outside world. Until now, there have been no less than thousands of times in total. Each time starts with hope and ends with disappointment. When time and quantity exceed the limit of psychological endurance, despair gradually remains in his mind.

Vilny had long stopped caring about dignity. He knew that he had become a laughing stock among the federal generals. Few soldiers begged hard in the communication, but he had no choice but to do so.

You can die, but tens of millions of people in the underground base should survive.

Vilney never felt that he was great, he just did what he should have done.

Looking at Zhao Yi who was smiling on the screen, he was filled with mixed feelings and didn't know what to say.
Chapter completed!
