An assault cannon shell suddenly exploded in front of me, blowing away three Eternal Star soldiers who were rushing towards me.

I turned around and saw that a heavy assault vehicle was shooting behind me, with green smoke coming out of the muzzle.

"Paul, you guys came just in time." I shouted in excitement.

A dazzling explosion appeared in front of me, and the huge blast of air blew off the assault vehicle's turret and knocked me away.

After falling heavily to the ground, I immediately looked up and saw two Imperial heavy assault vehicles firing together, blowing up the heavy assault vehicle that was rescuing me.

"Paul!!!" I shouted loudly, and used my backpack machine gun to shoot wildly but ineffectively at the enemy's assault vehicle.

"Wan Yue Can Yue, where are you? What's going on there? We can't hold it any longer." Zhang Baoer's call came from the system.

I suddenly realized that the driver of the assault vehicle who rescued me was not Zhang Baoer.

"Cangyue, it seems that this battle situation will last less than two hours. We must retreat immediately, otherwise the entire army will be annihilated." Lao Du called to me anxiously.

With all my strength, I stood up, picked up the cluster laser gun on the ground, and rushed towards Baron Hughes.

Baron Hughes was wrestling with two Eternal Star soldiers, and their shields collided with each other, causing a violent reaction.

Standing behind the melee soldiers, I used a cluster laser gun close to the leg of one of the soldiers, turned on the severe pain mode, and aimed at a core point to shoot with all my strength.

The energy of the cluster laser gun was focused on a core point and released, producing a powerful destructive force that directly penetrated the shield of the imperial soldier.

The severe pain immediately appeared on the soldier's face. He covered the injured leg with his hands in pain and fell to the side.

In the same way, I helped Baron Hughes deal with another enemy.

"Baron, we must retreat, otherwise we will be annihilated here." I yelled at Baron Hughes.

"The two hours deployed by the city lord have not expired, and we cannot retreat easily." Baron Hughes refused.

"We need to give City Lord Andy feedback on the latest battle situation and understand the progress of the retreat." I made my own suggestion to the Baron.

After listening to my suggestion, Baron Hughes made a quick report and communicated with City Lord Andy.

The Bird fighter jets have been basically wiped out, with less than five left struggling to support themselves, and less than fifteen heavy assault vehicles left. The surrounding electromagnetic turrets have basically been lost, and the entrance to the entire underground city is densely packed.

Full of Imperial soldiers and various weapons.

"The infantry retreat has been basically completed. Lord Andy ordered us to retreat behind the second gate while fighting." Baron Hughes ordered.

After receiving the order, the defensive troops began to retreat quickly.

The so-called retreat while fighting seemed to be an empty talk. Under the overwhelming superiority of the imperial soldiers, the slow retreat turned into a mad dash.

The remaining defensive forces quickly retreated towards the second city gate. Baron Hughes and I followed several heavy assault vehicles and persisted in counterattack from the rear to cover the retreat of the large forces.

Losing their defensive role, drones and air defense fighters suddenly filled the space in the underground outer city.

"It's almost done, let's retreat." After knocking down an imperial soldier, Baron Hughes said to me.

After receiving the order, I and the few remaining soldiers at the rear quickly rushed towards the second gate.

The speed of the two legs is not as fast as the imperial drone. Some fighter planes have already flown in front of us. The enemy planes above our heads are shooting at us broken soldiers. People are falling down around us, and assault vehicles are exploding.

Soon, we saw the second gate, which was slowly closing.

Some imperial drones flying before us rushed directly towards the second gate, but they hit a thick shield and were unable to enter.

"Wangyue, hurry up, it will be safe if you enter the shield." Baron Hughes dragged me and sprinted quickly.

The Imperial heavy assault vehicles behind us began to pursue us, firing large artillery shells as they marched.

The huge shells blasted huge craters around me. Baron Hughes and I shared my deformed protective shield and struggled to sprint over the last two hundred meters.

A loud "boom" came from behind me. I subconsciously looked back and saw that a heavy assault vehicle that was chasing us suddenly exploded and burst into flames.

"Cangyue, hurry up, Lao Du and I are covering you." Zhang Baoer called to me.

I saw a heavy assault vehicle that had entered the safe area and started shelling the enemy troops who were pursuing us. Soon the other heavy assault vehicles and soldiers who had escaped from danger joined in the covering operation.

With the help of everyone, Baron Hughes and I finally reached the safe area with difficulty. After we entered, the second gate began to slowly close.

I collapsed on the floor. The distance of 200 meters just now was the most difficult 200 meters of road I have ever walked in my life.

"Cangyue, are you okay?" Zhang Baoer called to me.

"Don't worry, it's okay. We need to regroup immediately." I replied.

"Immediately take inventory of armaments and remaining troops, and redo defensive arrangements. The shield at the second gate will not last long." Baron Hughes quickly ordered through the system to the intelligence officer.

After receiving the order, the troops that had retreated behind the second gate began to regroup. I followed Baron Hughes and hurried to the headquarters.

"Basically all the infantry responsible for the defense have been withdrawn, but the casualties have been heavy and one-third of the number has been reduced." An officer covered in stains said loudly to Lord Andy.

City Lord Andy said nothing, thinking silently, and suddenly saw Baron Hughes and I returning to the combat command room.

"Baron, our forts and electromagnetic gun systems have all fallen. We still have about 1,800 infantry, five Bird fighters and thirteen heavy assault vehicles. This is all I have left when I get home." City Lord Andy

He raised his head and said.

"Only one-third of the three-day requirement required by the prince has been completed. We have lost the first gate and 90% of the technical weapons. The pressure of this task is indeed great." He was covered in stains.

The officer said.

"Captain Deisler, I understand the existence of difficulties. There is no need to think about it so much at the moment. Every step of the previous deployment was not completed on time. The most important thing now is to organize the new line of defense immediately." Baron Hughes ordered.

"Captain, immediately deploy a new line of defense according to the Baron's order." City Lord Andy ordered.

Captain Deisler didn't say much and took the order and left.

"City Lord, Baron, come and take a look." The intelligence officer shouted to a few of us.

Everyone immediately rushed to the screen. The huge projection showed that the enemy troops who had invaded the outer city were regrouping and preparing for a new storm.

"Will the enemy repeat their same tactics and use regional singularity missiles to attack?" I reminded him.

"Unlikely, our second gate is protected by an energy shield that can bounce back the explosion area. In such a small space, they will not take this risk." the intelligence officer replied.

"I have an idea. There are also two regional singularity missiles in the arsenal of Jingang City." City Lord Andy said.

"Are you planning to use singularity missiles to attack? In such a small space, the casualties will be huge." Baron Hughes asked.

"At this point, we have lost most of our technical weapons. It is difficult for soldiers alone to complete the tasks assigned by the prince." City Lord Andy sighed.

"City Lord, I advise you not to do this. There is no problem with regional singularity missiles being used to attack city defenses. They are used to kill and injure soldiers. This is clearly required within the Imperial Alliance and has signed a treaty. We cannot use this kind of missile

Weapons are used to kill soldiers on a large scale." Baron Hughes refused.

"Yes, so many lives, this is too much of a sin." I also suggested.

"In that case, we will trigger other kingdoms in the Holy Empire to attack us, and we will lose the name of justice." Baron Hughes continued to add.

"What use are the other kingdoms to me? Now that our Kingdom of Akaliut is being invaded, where are the other kingdoms and who will help us?" City Lord Andy complained loudly.

"I believe the prince will handle the matter of reinforcements from other kingdoms, but we must not violate the treaty and use such weapons of mass destruction." Baron Hughes insisted on his opinion.

City Lord Andy stopped talking. The enemy troops were gathering very quickly, with various weapons in front and soldiers behind. The formation was basically completed.

"I don't know what kind of siege weapons the Imperial soldiers will use." the intelligence officer said.

"Quickly arrange three hundred people to transport ammunition from the weapons depot to the inner city." Baron Hughes ordered.

At this time, a new movement appeared on the video projection. The formation of the imperial soldiers separated from both sides, and a huge equipment slowly drove in from outside the main gate.

The equipment that appeared in front of me had a very strange appearance. The huge base used jets to float the equipment forward in the air.

Right in front of the equipment is a pure metal spiral drill bit. The size of the drill bit is very huge. The entire contact surface is about the same size as our second gate. Its purpose is very obvious, which is to break through the city gate.

"Well, the method of breaking down doors and knocking wood down in the Middle Ages is also used on other planets. It seems that the principles of siege are consistent across the universe." I secretly marveled.

"No, if this big guy hits the door, the shield won't last long no matter how strong it is." Baron Hughes shouted loudly.

"We must take a preemptive strike and blow up this big guy." City Lord Andy said.

"This weapon of the empire is called Pogui. When I was studying at the Imperial Academy, I once learned that its control room is in the middle and lower part. If you can enter there and destroy the control system, you can paralyze it." The intelligence officer said.

said.

"Do you know the route into Pogui?" asked Baron Hughes.

"I know that the shield code of this big guy is the same. I can decipher it, but it can only provide a human-sized entrance and exit, and carry weapons to blast inside." The intelligence officer said.

"What's your name, Intelligence Officer?" Baron Hughes asked.

"Sir, my name is Corgi." the intelligence officer replied.

"Very good, Corgi, lead the way. We will form a suicide squad and stand out to blow up this bastard." Baron Hughes ordered.

"Are our explosives powerful enough?" I asked.

"The power is enough. We only need to put explosives into Pogui's nuclear reactor to completely paralyze its internal system." Corgi replied.

"No need to discuss, take action immediately. The death squad will consist of me, Corgi, Zangyue and two other team members. City Lord, you can arrange two more team members for me." Baron Hughes ordered decisively.

"Baron, the enemy has begun wartime protection of Pogui." Corgi shouted loudly.

We can clearly see on the screen that the most troublesome weapon is suspended next to Pogui. Dozens of air defense warships use their own shields to form another huge barrier around Pogui.
