Chapter 722: Defense of Macragge 6

"The Star Fortress has been lost, Lord Yuton..." A guard anxiously reported the bad news to Yuton who was standing on the mansion and gazing at the sky.

Yuton stood there quietly, his eyes deep and solemn.

The guard beside her couldn't suppress his inner anxiety and reminded her again: "My lord, did you see it? The situation is critical!" Yuton tilted his head slightly and said coldly: "I'm not blind, I can see it..." At this time, the sky had been dyed blood red by the raging flames, as if the end of the world had come.

In the shadows, dense swarms of insects were riding on the shattered wreckage of a warship, passing through the atmosphere at an astonishing speed, swooping down like hungry wolves.

Yutun took a deep breath and made a quick decision: "Immediately notify the several infantry regiments in the East City position that the wreckage of the Zerg's warships will soon reach where they are. Let them prepare for battle!" As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen pieces of flesh and blood warships burned black by flames fell from the sky, and with a terrifying whistle, they slammed heavily outside the city of Macragge.

Instantly, the ground shook violently, dust flew up, and then, accompanied by a thunderous roar, a huge mushroom cloud rose above the horizon and soared into the sky.

When the dust settled a little, you could see that on the surface of the piece of meat that had fallen to the ground, there was a layer of strange purple fungal carpet slowly emerging from under the burnt black shell.

They spread wildly like the tentacles of the devil. Wherever they passed, the land was eroded and the grass and trees withered instantly.

"ROAR! ROO! ROO! ROO! ROO!!!!" Deafening roars resounded through the sky, and countless hideous springtails and burly fighting insects swarmed out from the blackened cracks in the shells of the biological warships.

With their fangs bared and claws gleaming with ferocity, and pungent mucus spewing from their mouths, they rushed madly towards the nearest position of the Astra Militarum Infantry Regiment.

On this vast battlefield, the first troops to step forward to meet the enemy were the 69th Auxiliary Infantry Regiment of Ultramar and the 158th Artillery Regiment of the Astra Militarum stationed at the forefront of the position.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers in blue and green armor were standing firmly in the trenches.

They stood tall, with serious and resolute expressions, holding various weapons in their hands, and their eyes were fixed on the distance.

"The swarm is coming......"

The officers standing at the front of the team were even more tense. They raised their binoculars from time to time and stared nervously at the dark shadows approaching in the distance.

Suddenly, a commander shouted, "Call the artillery positions and fire three salvos!"

Almost at the same moment, the black swarm of insects swooped over the position like a surging tide.

At the artillery position dozens of kilometers away, the gunners, who had been on high alert for a long time, quickly took action after receiving the order.

With deafening roars, hundreds of earth-shaking cannons fired at the same time, emitting earth-shaking roars.

For a moment, dense artillery shells were like a torrential rain, cutting through the sky and smashing towards the insect swarm with the force of thunder.

When these shells fell to the ground accurately, there was a thunderous explosion.

In an instant, flames shot up into the sky, smoke filled the air, and shrapnel flew everywhere.

The powerful shock wave swept around with endless power, instantly tearing the approaching insect swarms into pieces.

The scorching flames burned everything, and the high temperature made the insect swarm's extremely hard shells become fragile and completely melted in just a few seconds.

"Keep firing! Don't save ammunition! Hit hard!" Accompanied by roars, artillery shells poured down like a violent and dense rain.

Each shell slammed into the earth mercilessly, carrying the power to destroy everything.

There were only a series of deafening explosions, and the ground was instantly blasted into pieces. Huge pits, big enough to hold several tanks, appeared one after another, as if the earth had opened its huge, ferocious mouth.

The soil melted quickly under the scorching heat and mixed with the blood of the insect swarm, forming pieces of mud that emitted a disgusting stench.

The young officer stared at the tragic scene with his eyes wide open. His throat rolled unconsciously and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.

He murmured to himself: "The shells... should be able to stop them..." There was a hint of uncertainty and fear in his words.

The old soldier standing next to him sneered at his words, with a look of disdain on his face.

He was seen holding the laser rifle steadily in one hand and the equipment belt at his waist with the other hand. He bent his body slightly and walked swiftly towards the command center.

As he passed by the young officer, he said without turning his head: "Do you think it's possible?"

However, the situation in the command center was not good at the moment. The commander was communicating with the rear using a divination instrument, but bad news came one after another.

"All 20 Knight Mechs were wiped out, and 5 Infantry Regiments were slaughtered before they even fired a shot? Where is the Titan Legion? Where is the Titan Legion?"

At this moment, the commander stood in the center of the headquarters with a red face. Several officers lowered their heads and listened to his roar: "Damn it! The support troops are all dead! Now we only have two choices. Either we fight to hold on here for three hours and wait for the arrival of the new organization's reinforcements; or we can only sit and wait for death and watch ourselves and our brothers being devoured by these insects!"

Just as the commander was roaring in anger, a panicked soldier suddenly rushed into the command center, and then he raised his trembling finger and pointed to the thick clouds in the distance.

"What...what on earth is that?" the soldier stammered.

Hearing this, the commander was stunned at first, then stopped roaring, turned around and looked in the direction the soldier pointed. He saw a huge and vague figure looming in the distant clouds.

"Oh my God...how big is this thing?" The commander widened his eyes and muttered to himself in disbelief.

The soldier nearby swallowed his saliva and replied tremblingly: "Based on what we have observed so far, it is conservatively estimated to be at least 100 meters high!"

"What? 100 meters!" The commander gasped, a layer of fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead. Then he grabbed the auspicious instrument of the communicator beside him and shouted: "Concentrate firepower and attack immediately! That is the enemy's Titan unit! The enemy's Titan unit!"

At this moment, the commander's voice was no longer the angry roar from before, but turned into a roar mixed with extreme fear.

His terrified roar was like a thunder, resounding throughout the trench.

There was a loud bang, and the Titan worm finally walked out from behind the clouds. Its huge body, nearly 100 meters high, was as majestic as a mountain. It took just one step and the ground beneath its feet began to shake violently, as if a small earthquake had occurred.
