Chapter 74 Let's go dig potatoes! Siberia is where the bugs are.
"Baka! How can the Ling Dong Legion be so fierce?"
"And this bunch of trash!"
"They should always be ready to sacrifice themselves for the Empire! How can they be so cowardly at a time like this!"
"It's all the fault of this bunch of trash!"
"If these trash weren't so cowardly, they would definitely have been able to rely on the defensive fortifications to block the Ling Dong Legion!"
"The defensive line I set up is absolutely perfect!"
"Damn it! Truly damn it!"
Watching the constantly increasing casualty numbers on the strategic panel, Takuya Kojiro was so angry that he cursed out loud!
Cursing aside, there was one thing Takuya Kojiro had to admit, and that was...
The [Flower of Conquest], whose combat power was constantly being weakened, could not be compared to the [Former - Winter is Coming] legion at all; let alone counterattacking, it couldn't even put up a resistance!
The strength of the Ling Dong Legion was truly somewhat beyond Takuya Kojiro's expectations!
This steel torrent composed of countless tanks and combat aircraft really seemed capable of steamrolling his Bug Legion!
"No!"
"It can't end like this!"
"Hold on!"
"Even if the entire army is wiped out, you must hold on for me!"
But!
Takuya Kojiro really didn't want it to end like this!
The time he expected to delay was still long; if he failed just like this, how could he make Designer No. 009 pay the maximum price?
How could he complete his mission and make the Azure Star Civilization lose to the Kanluo Civilization?
Thinking of this, Takuya Kojiro decisively issued an order to the Bug Legion!
"Not a single step back!"
"Even if you have to pile up human lives, you must hold them off for me!"
【Wow! Takuya Kojiro's move is really a bit disgusting!】
【Although the people in the war world are just a bunch of data, doing this is still lacking in humanity!】
【Heh, can a guy who lets the Bug Legion and secret units research viral weapons and carry out inhumane massacres be a good person? As long as he can achieve his goal, he doesn't care at all how many people die!】
【For such a person to be born on Azure Star, it really is a tragedy for Azure Star.】
【It's normal. Which planet doesn't have a few pieces of rat droppings?】
【It's just that compared to the rat droppings on other planets, this one called Takuya Kojiro is truly heaven-defying!】
【At a time like this, he's still thinking about working for the Kanluo Civilization and letting the intelligence of the [Great Wall Watch] dungeon leak out. Tsk tsk tsk.】
【I hope Azure Star can use the most cruel punishments to kill this guy!】
【Plus one!】
Watching this scene of Takuya Kojiro, the audience in the livestream room was both angry and hateful!
After all, no matter what, Azure Star was Takuya Kojiro's home planet!
It was the place that gave birth to him and raised him!
Facing his own mother, Takuya Kojiro chose not to help her win the civilization war, but instead used every means to persecute her!
Was it just to get what the Kanluo Civilization promised him?
Such people are often heavily wanted among cosmic civilizations and are the most despised traitors!
At this very moment, 99.9999% of people wanted Takuya Kojiro to die!
And that tiny 0.000001% of people were the Kanluo high officials who hoped to rely on Takuya Kojiro to severely damage Designer No. 009.
war world.
This final battle of the [Great Wall Watch] dungeon was still ongoing.
By now, the Ling Dong Legion had been bombing the Bug Legion's defensive line for several hours!
In a trance, the daylight began to recede, and the yellowing sky meant that nightfall was approaching.
It was also at this time that the Ling Dong Legion finally stopped its frenzied bombing of the Bug Legion's defensive line, and one combat aircraft after another began to head home.
"It's finally over."
Watching the Ling Dong warplanes returning to the distance, Takuya Kojiro finally breathed a sigh of relief!
Although these few hours of bombing had caused great losses to the Bug Legion's defensive line, with heavy casualties in ordnance, equipment, and personnel, it was fortunate that they had held on.
Next, the Ling Dong Legion shouldn't be able to launch such a large-scale attack again.
The time he could delay had been extended a bit more.
Thinking of this, Takuya Kojiro was actually quite happy, after all, his actions had deeply disgusted Designer No. 009 and even Azure Star.
However!
Takuya Kojiro's joy had just emerged, and soon, it was scared away by the scene before him!
Because a 'rumbling' sound came from the distance of the battlefield once again!
This was slightly different from the sound caused by aircraft engines; this was the noise caused by the advance of ground legions like tanks and self-propelled artillery!
"Damn it!"
"Is the Ling Dong Legion not prepared to give its opponent any time to catch their breath?"
"How could they send out the ground legion right after the bombing?"
"They aren't playing by the book at all!"
Takuya Kojiro always felt that the Ling Dong Legion's tactics were somewhat familiar.
His thoughts couldn't help but drift back to the time when his powerful ally, the Persian Empire, swept across the various powers on the Nanzhou continent battlefield!
Wasn't the tactic that Persia used back then also one of not giving the enemy any time to breathe?
This thing, it seems to be called Blitzkrieg, lightning war?!
"Rumble—"
"Rumble—"
"Rumble—"
The Ling Dong Legion didn't give Takuya Kojiro too much time to think.
A moment later, the deafening roar became even clearer!
Through the strategic perspective, the naked eye could already capture the Ling Dong ground legion appearing on the twilight demarcation line!
One after another, rows of steel behemoths advanced with a rumble, and the dust kicked up by their rapid advance directly obscured the twilight glow!
This was the true steel torrent!!
"Swish swish swish—"
Immediately after, these dark and terrifying steel behemoths adjusted their gun barrels and spewed out a series of long tongues of flame!
A densely interwoven web of bullets swept across the entire battlefield.
Those Bug soldiers who had survived the bombing were killed one by one, falling at the very moment day turned to night!
The steel torrent continued to advance!
The corpses of the Bug soldiers became more and more numerous!
The defensive line that Takuya Kojiro had personally created was as fragile as thin paper, collapsing with a roar as the steel torrent advanced!
【System Prompt: Your First Legion's morale has collapsed due to excessive casualties; all soldiers no longer have any will to fight, and you can no longer control the First Legion!】
【System Prompt: Your Second Legion's morale has collapsed due to excessive casualties; all soldiers no longer have any will to fight, and you can no longer control the Second Legion!】
【System Prompt: Your Seventh Legion's morale has collapsed due to excessive casualties; all soldiers no longer have any will to fight, and you can no longer control the Seventh Legion!】
【System Prompt: 】
One system message after another flashed before Takuya Kojiro's eyes.
He simply let go of the controls for the legions.
He lay straight back in his seat, waiting for this one-sided Far East war to end.
The Bug Legion couldn't win.
Even if their morale didn't collapse, and they fought to the death according to his orders, they wouldn't be able to delay for much longer.
The gap between the two legions was simply too large.
