Chapter 704 Ultramar War 3

"Quick! Hand out the weapons! Get ready for battle! Get ready for battle!"

The swarm of insects fell on the planet Lux like raindrops, more and more, until the entire sky was completely submerged by the swarm of insects.

"Retreat! Retreat to the hive! Retreat to the hive!"

The plain had been lost, and two infantry regiments of the defense army had been swallowed up by the Zerg. The defenders on the city walls almost didn't need to aim anymore, as they could easily hit the approaching Zerg with just random shots.

"We can't stop them. Where's the Air Force? Where's the Air Force!"

A soldier screamed, and the veteran soldier next to him impatiently punched the new recruit in the face.

"By the Emperor! Pick up your weapons and keep fighting! Otherwise I will feed you to the insect swarm first!"

The veteran picked up his laser rifle again and walked to the defense line of the hive city.

The swarm of insects surged like a tide, their number was unimaginable. Each insect exuded a disgusting smell, their fangs and claws flashed cold light, as if they wanted to tear everything to pieces.

The soldiers turned pale, and fear enveloped everyone's heart. However, the old soldier stood in front of the defense line without fear, his eyes firm and resolute.

"Don't be afraid! We are warriors of the Human Empire, we cannot retreat!" the veteran shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the noisy battlefield.

The other soldiers were encouraged and stood up, holding their weapons tightly, because they knew that if they did not resist, only death would be waiting for them.

"Open fire!" The veteran gave the order, and the soldiers behind the defense line immediately began shooting. The laser guns emitted a dazzling light, and the dense firepower intertwined into a barrage of bullets, blocking the advance of the insect swarm.

The Zerg kept falling under the suppression of firepower, but more Zerg came forward, and they seemed endless.

"Hold on! We can definitely stop them!" the veteran encouraged.

At this moment, a huge Zerg broke through the defense line, opened its bloody mouth and pounced on the soldiers. The veteran rushed forward without hesitation and stabbed the Zerg's eyes with his bayonet.

The Zerg roared in pain and fell to the ground, struggling, but more Zerg took the opportunity to rush through the defense line, and the soldiers were caught in fierce close combat.

Blood splattered as the soldiers fought a desperate battle with the Zerg.

In this bloody battle, no one retreated, and everyone was defending human dignity with his life.

However, their numbers were too numerous to count, and the Zerg army was surging like a tide, with no end in sight.

The soldiers of the defense force were thrown into the front line one after another, but were soon overwhelmed by the sea of ​​Zerg and annihilated.

The sky has fallen, the warships in orbit have been wiped out, and the several fighter formations that had just been sent out to try to stop the Zerg Air Force have disappeared without a trace on the radar. Their fate can be imagined.

"Where are the reinforcements? Where are Macragge's reinforcements?"

The commander-in-chief of the defense force stormed into the headquarters angrily, his helmet stained with the blood of the Zerg, and he threw it to the ground as soon as he entered the door.

Then he strode up to the signalman, his eyes full of anxiety and anger.

"We can't withdraw them, sir! And our communications are being interfered with by the enemy!" the communications soldier at the side stuttered.

"Then we can only rely on ourselves. God bless you. Now put down what you are doing! All men over the age of 16, follow me! Take up your weapons! Go to the front line and pull the trigger!"

The officer let out a roar, his voice resounding throughout the headquarters like thunder. He bent down, picked up the helmet that had just fallen to the ground, then turned around without hesitation and walked out of the headquarters with firm steps.

"Did you hear that, boys? For the Emperor!" His words seemed to ignite the fighting spirit and faith in everyone's heart.

The people in the headquarters did not hesitate at all, and they acted quickly. In addition to sending a signalman to continue calling for support, the others picked up their weapons and followed the officers out of the headquarters.

At this time, the outskirts of the hive city in front had completely fallen, and the enemies were pouring in like a tide.

Another hive city on this planet had fallen a few minutes ago, but the officer in charge of the defense resolutely blew up several important building nodes of the hive city at the last moment of his life.

With the huge explosion, the earth shook violently and flames burned fiercely, instantly engulfing the swarms of insects that poured into the city.

In the ruins of that hive city, there are still some brave soldiers resisting tenaciously, fighting for every minute and every second with their lives.

They shouted the battle cry for the five hundred worlds and for Macragge, and their fragile figures were submerged in the vast sea of ​​insects like a lone boat.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, a Chimera infantry fighting vehicle in the hive was destroyed and instantly caught fire. The endless attacks of the Zerg surged like a tide, and the shield above the hive was already shaky.

Every second that the shield was held up was accompanied by the roar of the machine spirit, as if it would break at any time.

"Report the damage!" the commander shouted anxiously. His eyes were full of worry and tension, and he kept praying in his heart that there would not be too much loss.

"The 39th, 58th, and 74th Regiments have been completely disbanded! We are urgently reorganizing those disbanded troops and sending them to the battlefield!" An officer hurriedly shouted after giving a standard military salute. There was a hint of despair in his voice, but more of it was firmness and determination.

"What about the shield? How long can it last?" the commander asked anxiously. He knew that if the shield broke, the entire nest would face a catastrophe.

The Mechanical Priest immediately replied: "Half an hour at most. Our energy shield has been stretched to its limit."

"May the Emperor bless us..."

Just as the commander was praying quietly, there was a sudden earth-shattering noise, causing him to look up suddenly.

In the sky, a dazzling blue beam of light gushed out from the huge mouth of the biological warship like a meteor. In just a few nanoseconds, this terrifying blue beam hit the shield of the hive city fiercely.

With a deafening roar, the blue plasma force quickly spread across the shield like a surging torrent. Then, a dull and heavy explosion was heard from the shield launcher behind.

The shield launchers were overwhelmed and eventually overloaded and collapsed. The entire nest instantly lost its protective barrier and was exposed to the Zerg.
