The war came faster than expected. f๐ฟ๐ewebno๐๐๐น.๐ฐ๐จm
Although the Freedom Front fleet had been careful and concealed when they set off, the sheer size of the force made it difficult to stay hidden for long, and soon enough, traces of them were detected by radiumโs ubiquitous quantum network.
Radium did not allow the human forces to bring the battle near Earth and immediately called for reinforcements.
Halfway to Mars, the human fleet was intercepted by radiumโs forces!
Radiumโs colossal fleet and war fortresses located throughout the Solar System suddenly revealed themselves, converging from all directions to target the four major battleship groups located at Mars, Mercury, Venus, and the satellite fleets of Earth and Mars!
The war erupted with a bang.
The dark starry sky was suddenly illuminated by countless barrages of gunfire.
Missiles poured down like torrential rain.
Energy weapon beams intertwined in the void, with the view from Earth resembling four additional small stars in the sky.
Those on the daylit western hemisphere could even see two tiny suns on either side of the real Sun, despite the clear sky not showing any stars.
Those tiny suns were the result of the shocking battles between the Mercury and Venus Legions and radiumโs fleet!
Humans fought with everything they had, and radium seemed to sense its doomsday approaching, also going all-out.
Nora Camp, as per her habit, leaned forward with both hands pressed on the command console, staring intently ahead.
The transparent window in front of her was filled with blinding flashes of explosion after explosion. On either side, there were holographic displays showing the distribution of military forces in a dot matrix star map and tactical command diagram of friendly battleships.
After considering it for no more than five seconds, she began to take action, her hands frantically moving over the virtual keyboard and dragging a series of commands one after another.
In her brainwave monitor, a storm of command instructions shot out.
At the same time, she shouted, โHarrison Clarkโs judgment was absolutely right! Radium has dedicated no more than 10% of its computing power to battlefield control! The battleships, war beasts, and micro combat units in front of us are not radiumโs main forces but rather its discarded units. The enemy has three times our troops, but our current battle casualties ratio is one to one!โ
On the launching deck, Harrison Clarkโs fists tightened, veins throbbing at his temples.
Although the ratio was one to one, only machines were being destroyed on radiumโs side, whereas on the human side, not only were battleships and fighters lost, but also the soldiers inside.
However, the elite Eagle Strike Warriors next to him were motivated, with tears welling up in some of their eyes.
โWhat! One to one!โ
โThatโs great, so great!โ
โMy goodness! I never thought this day would come in my life!โ
โYeah, one to one. Twenty years ago, my father participated in the 79th Mars Defense Battle. That time, we lost over three million battleships, only managing to destroy radiumโs less than a million discarded units.โ
โSigh.โ
โWhy sigh? Didnโt you hear that we are now one to one? Our goal isnโt to annihilate the enemy. As long as our heavy battleship group reaches Earthโs vicinity, we will have achieved our objective!โ
โRight!โ
Everyone raised their gaze, looking at the man standing in the front.
His ultimate-form Hawk Armor was equipped with eight terrifying pseudo-curvature engines, making it look particularly ferocious and deadly.
Needham Brown, who had recovered his body but was unsure about the extent of his regained strength, stood beside Harrison Clark and whispered, โToday, Iโm definitely going to kill more war beasts than you.โ
Harrison Clark glanced at him and uttered two words, โDream on.โ
โIโm not dreaming. After you rush into the Earthโs core, someone has to block the pursuers behind you, right? Well, sorry, but this task to plug the hole is mine, Needham Brown! So, brother, Iโm gonna win today!โ
In response, Mitchell from the other side disagreed, โCaptain Needham, donโt forget that we have three hundred Special Operations Team warriors here.โ
Harrison Clark glared at Mitchell, โChoose a different term. That sounds too ominous.โ
Mitchell refused, โInstructor, we really didnโt plan on coming back alive.โ
At that moment, Nora Campโs orders finally arrived.
โThe scout teams of the small battleship groups have breached the enemyโs outer defenses! Eagle Strike Warriors, charge! Shred those two war fortresses! Then our entire force will charge through, piercing the explosion clouds of the destroyed war fortresses and heading straight for Earth! Regular Eagle Strike Soldiers who receive the order will hang back and block the pursuit, but once we have reclaimed Earth, they must immediately withdraw and not engage in prolonged combat!โ
All of the large battleshipsโ launch decks below opened with a thunderous sound.
The entire 57 million Eagle Strike Warriors from Mars Base were deployed from their respective ships, almost simultaneously activating their pseudo-curvature engines.
Countless black dots spread across the sky in a dense swarm.
Harrison Clark led the charge, his speed resembling a meteor as he aimed straight for one of the two colossal pyramid-shaped war fortresses, each towering over a hundred kilometers high.
These war fortresses were far larger than the fortress mothership Harrison had seen when he had previously escaped, looking like two massive planets floating in the air.
From time to time, damaged intelligent warships could be seen breaking formation and returning to the war fortresses from various battle lines.
Meanwhile, a steady stream of brand-new-looking warships of different types emerged from another exit of the war fortresses, heading for different battle lines.
These two fortresses were causing significant trouble for the human fleets in their attempt to breach the enemy lines..
