Chapter 1 A Miserable Scene

Li Tianran had expected the battlefield to be less than optimistic, but he hadn't imagined it would be so tragic.

They had rushed from Kuangxi Island, and with the Kunlun battleship flying at full speed, it had taken just under twenty-three minutes. But in those twenty-three minutes, the entire Cartier Fortress defense line had been breached!

As the outermost strategic point of the human defense line, the Cartier Fortress was not poorly equipped in terms of manpower and firepower. It could be considered above average on the entire human front, with a large number of fighter planes, missile vehicles, and tank units. But against those terrifying creatures, it had still fallen so quickly.

No one wanted to accuse the defending army of Cartier Fortress of being too weak, and no one had the right to do so.

Because even now, the human army on the defense line was still fighting the enemy to the death, without any sign of collapse.

They had already proven their bravery with their lives, but the outcome of the war was not something they could decide.

Given the vast difference in the level of life, to hold out until the end was already an extraordinary victory!

"Send out fighter planes and mecha warriors to rescue our allies on the Cartier Fortress defense line," Li Tianran said after a moment of silence, gently pressing the release button. The fighter runways and storage bays of the entire Kunlun battleship opened, and a large number of fighter planes took off. Twenty mecha warriors landed with a thud, and then headed towards the battlefield at an extremely fast speed.

"Boss, they can't be saved..." Lu Chi stood behind Li Tianran, hesitated, and said, "Continuing to invest troops in this situation will only cause greater losses."

Lu Chi had a clear view of the battlefield. Cartier Fortress could no longer be defended. The monsters and human warriors were in a mixed battle, impossible to separate.

It had already become a terrifying war meat grinder.

Even if more fighter planes and mecha warriors were sent over at this time, at most it would only be adding more flesh and blood to this meat grinder, and it might cause even more serious losses.

The best option currently facing Li Tianran was to follow what Wang Ren had just said on the satellite phone: first use the laser orbital cannon to fully bombard the battlefield, conduct indiscriminate attacks, severely damage the enemy, and then release fighter planes, mecha warriors, and evolutionaries to enter the field for harvesting and cleanup.

This was the only tactic that might lead to victory!

Li Tianran was well aware of this, but why hadn't he done so?

Because over this period of time, although he was still wary of the Federation, the Federation's repeated gratuitous assistance to Kuangxi Island had ultimately shaken his heart a little.

If he had faced this situation a month ago, he would have unhesitatingly ordered the Kunlun warship to release the "Valley of Death", turning the entire Cartier Fortress defense line into a sea of ​​thunderstorms. But now, he wanted to gamble, he wanted to try to save some people.

"Our current position marker is 986.55... within our radius of 500 meters, there are at least twenty ancient creatures. Please aim at this position to fire."

Wang Ren's voice rang in the satellite phone.

After saying this, Wang Ren seemed to have discovered something, and he said in a deep voice: "Please friendly forces immediately stop the rescue operation against us. These creatures' speed and reaction capabilities are beyond imagination. Rescue operations will only expand the battle damage!"

"They have all entered the defense line and are highly concentrated. If a destructive blow is not carried out now, it will be too difficult to find such excellent strike conditions next time!"

Wang Ren roared: "Saving us will also allow more ancient creatures to survive! This is very unworthy for the overall impact on human civilization!"

"I demand that you launch an attack immediately!"

Li Tianran did not speak, nor did he issue an order to stop the fighter planes from advancing.

The speed of the Kunlun battleship's fighter planes and mecha warriors had exceeded Mach 3, and it would only take less than two minutes to reach a distance of one hundred kilometers. But no matter how fast the fighter planes were, how could they compare to the speed of laser weapons?

Once a light-speed weapon was released, it could complete the bombing strike on the target point in almost a second.

The Cartier Fortress battlefield was now the best strike environment. Almost all of the ancient creatures under the command of Sky Castle were within the strike range. As long as the laser orbital cannon was fired, it would definitely severely damage the enemy.

And just like what Wang Ren said, if Li Tianran insisted on rescuing, then large-scale firepower would inevitably be unable to be unleashed. Under the circumstance of being wary of hurting the rat for fear of breaking the vase, many enemies would survive as a result.

Li Tianran grabbed the firepower control lever of the Kunlun battleship. He hesitated for a moment, then bit his teeth hard.

"We are destined to die in battle, please let us die more valuable!" At this moment, Wang Ren spoke again, his voice becoming a little heavy: "Does the friendly army have to force me to end my life before it can launch an attack?"

"If so, all the officers of the command will commit suicide immediately!"

Li Tianran listened to Wang Ren's firm words, and he suddenly raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Fighter team, mecha warrior team, stop advancing towards the battlefield!"

Then, Li Tianran pressed the firepower control lever of the Kunlun battleship. The huge ship shook, the dark, huge cannon barrel stretched out, and terrifying energy fluctuations were gathering frantically.

The laser orbital cannon needed at least ten seconds to gather energy.

In the final moment, Li Tianran asked softly, "What's your name?"

At this time, in the shattered command room located on the battlefield with a large number of ancient creatures, Wang Ren straightened his military uniform and epaulettes, and said calmly: "People say that humans will feel guilty for killing strangers whose names they know, so I don't want to tell you my name."

"..." Li Tianran was silent.

"I am a soldier, that's all," Wang Ren said softly.

The energy gathering of the laser orbital cannon had reached its peak. Li Tianran took a deep breath and pressed down hard.

There was no deafening roar.

Only a dazzling light beam pierced the sky and landed on the Cartier Fortress battlefield, with everything within a three-kilometer radius of the marker provided by Wang Ren being enveloped.

Back then, when the Federation was first established, the European Union launched a military invasion of Chaodong, attempting to use Chaodong as a springboard to exert military control over the Federation.

And it was during that war that a large number of Federal soldiers crossed the river and came to a foreign country to fight and defend the country.

It was also in that war that Federal soldiers were surrounded by the enemy and shouted the phrase "Fire on me!", and then went to the Yellow Springs with the enemy under the fire coverage.

That soldier was named Wang Cheng.

He had a great-grandson named Wang Ren.

Seventy years later, two people with the same blood walked the same path, using their lives and blood to defend the country.

This is reincarnation, and it is also inheritance!

"Satellite communication has been disconnected, the other party's signal is lost..."

Li Tianran listened to the mechanical electronic sound coming from the satellite phone and silently pressed the hang-up button.
