(Currently owing 21 chapters)

"Didn't we manage to save one of the lancers?"

Looking at the report sent by Gunnar, Xi Hai sighed with a hint of regret, then followed Gunnar's suggestion and had that lancer self-destruct.

Gorgeous fireworks exploded in mid-air, but Xi Hai didn't find it beautiful at all—because that exploding ship belonged to him.

"Report! Intelligence collection complete!"

"The target [Gravity Conduit] is located at an 89° bearing, 2 o'clock direction!"

"Distance: 200,000 kilometers!"

No. 999 kalilein completed the intelligence gathering and synced the map data to the entire fleet.

Xi Hai opened the star map they sent. As he expanded it, a small icon was highlighted on the screen, and next to it was a large number of tentacle Warships and big bugs.

"That is the generator for the Gravity Conduit?"

If he shut it down, those bugs wouldn't keep popping out endlessly, right?

He stared at the dense enemy ships and gritted his teeth.

How could he shut it down?

"night lamp, if I destroy that device, will it be effective?"

"Effective."

Good, then...

Just as Xi Hai was about to issue the bombing command, a long reddish-brown line suddenly appeared in the air.

"Damn it!"

"What is that?"

The sudden anomaly startled Xi Hai. Then, the voice of night lamp came through—

"Gravity Conduit closed."

"Those are fragments of Warships that were still traveling in the conduit, shredded by the violent gravitons."

It was closed?

Heaven helps me!

Without bothering to investigate who had shut down the device, Xi Hai immediately shouted in the command channel:

"Enemy reinforcement channel closed!"

"Strike with all your might and annihilate the enemy!"

Inside the Ursa Major V12.22 galaxy.

As the collective consciousness of the race, it was confused.

Just a moment ago, a bunch of cute individual consciousnesses, under its long-term secret hypnosis, finally embraced the collective.

It learned about something called a "Gravity Conduit" from within them, and a portion of the tin cans that had just been controlled by the race immediately connected to that thing.

Born in the void not long ago, it didn't know what that thing was for, but it still tried to open this so-called "Conduit".

Then, after a brief voyage, it saw something different—

It was the race of those little creatures that stayed inside the tin cans! There were so many of them!

In an instant, it reacted with combat.

A large number of tin cans just controlled by the race, under its command, took a large number of individuals and sailed out along that "Gravity Conduit" thing, launching an attack on that group of bipedal creatures.

However, just as the race had broken into the area of those bipedal creatures and started snatching those tin cans, that thing called "Gravity Conduit" suddenly disconnected.

Suddenly, those of the race that had landed on the other side were left fighting alone.

It sensed repeatedly until it confirmed that it could no longer open that Gravity Conduit thing in this area, so it had to helplessly abandon the race trapped outside.

However—it remembered that place! It would definitely return!

Now, it decided to hurry up and take over all the tin cans of those little things right in front of it.

Suddenly, the Defense Force's breakout fleet, which was already gradually collapsing, received an even fiercer impact—

On ship after ship, the invading Swarm first cleared out all resistance, then quickly began to change the environment, spread creep, and seize control of the Warships.

"Commander Erot! The fleet's formation has been completely disrupted!"

"The left sub-fleet group has completely lost contact!"

"Units are reporting one after another that a large number of members have mutinied!"

On the flagship of the Galaxy Defense Force's breakout fleet, piece after piece of bad news reached Erot's ears.

He smiled bitterly.

Since the breakout began, unexpected events had happened one after another.

The seven or eight plans drafted by the staff officers had almost all become jokes—who could have known that the attack that defeated them would come from their own ships?

Looking at it now, the breakout seemed to be a wrong choice, but he didn't regret it—under the "collaboration" of corrupt quartermasters and procurement departments with the bugs, their ammunition reserves and supplies had long since fallen below the supply red line. Some ships in this breakout fleet didn't even have full ammunition.

The breakout was just an attempt to find a glimmer of life in a doomed situation.

Now, it seemed that even this glimmer of life hadn't been attained.

"Report! Enemy units have boarded our ship!"

"Our Marine Corps has already engaged in fire!"

At this moment, a Marine Corps officer rushed onto the Bridge, bringing very bad news to everyone.

"Commander! Please transfer to another ship as soon as possible!"

"There is still time!"

Looking at that anxious guy, Erot just unhurriedly picked up a cigar, cut it, lit it, and then took a deep drag.

After blowing out a smoke ring, he shouted with a loud voice directly in front of the entire Bridge:

"Transfer?"

"Where else can we go now?"

"The breakout has failed!"

"We will all die here today! This is the end!"

"So-called transfer is just a difference between dying sooner or later!"

Erot took another deep breath.

He realized that when he saw through things, death was not scary at all.

Immediately after, ignoring the silent people on the Bridge, he spoke to himself:

"I, Erot, joined the Galaxy Defense Force at 27 and have served for 277 years to date."

"I have held countless positions, some high, some low, some civil, some military."

"But in my heart, I have never forgotten—"

"No matter where I am! I have always been a soldier loyal to His Majesty the Marshal!"

"Now! I will pick up my weapon and meet my end on the battlefield!"

"And all of you here! We haven't even transmitted the information here to the outside world!"

"This is the greatest dereliction of duty!"

"Who else wants to go to the battlefield with me to redeem themselves?"

"Is it a choice to die with glory, or a choice to perish hiding in a corner?"

After speaking, he threw away his cigar, picked up an Electromagnetic Rifle hanging by his side, walked to the Marine Corps officer, patted him, and said,

"I don't know as much about ground combat as you do."

"So from now on, you are my superior."

Afterward, he turned his head, looked at the personnel on the Bridge, and asked:

"What about you?"

"Who else is coming?"

Under Erot's gaze, first the Radar Operator, the first mate, one person, two people... finally, everyone on the Bridge stood up one after another—

They looked at the Marine Corps officer, their eyes gradually becoming firm:

"Sir! Please issue the order!"

Looking at this incredibly resolute atmosphere, the Marine Corps officer swallowed.

Me?

Commanding them?

For real?

Forget it!

Anyway, even the Commander agreed!

After hesitating, he hardened his heart and shouted:

"Attention all! Listen to orders!"

"You are hereby formed into the 777th Squad of the Marine Corps!"

"Now! After going to the armory to collect combat gear, quickly rush to support the ship's internal defense line!"

"Yes!!!"

Before everyone lined up and walked out of the Bridge, Erot suddenly seemed to remember something, immediately ran to the central control console, and set a self-destruct command for the engine room for one hour later.

After finishing, he returned to the team and ran to the armory with his comrades.

This was his final battlefield as a soldier, and he would obtain the highest honor as a soldier here—

Death in battle.
