In the blink of an eye, it was already dusk, but the high-altitude battlefield above the canyon was still blazing with battle. At first, the Catus' starships were equipped with qualified Grai giants, and there was still a great momentum to counterattack. However, as time passed, the disadvantage of the foreign fleet began to appear due to the lack of tactical support. Under the steady offensive of the Federation fleet, the aerial battlefield of the foreign fleet began to shrink. They abandoned their previous strategy of desperate attacks and switched to active defense.
However, this situation was even worse. Neither the Catus nor the Grai were good at defense, and the defensive line they had built could be said to be full of loopholes. However, after killing a Dark Titan for Comon during the day, the remaining Dark Titans retreated into the army. Firstly, they avoided the possibility of clashing with the Federation experts, and secondly, they sat in the army, preventing the Federation fleet from approaching too closely.
While the battle in the air was in full swing, the battlefield on the ground was gradually entering a white-hot stage. As the outer battlefield of the canyon was broken through by the hunting squad and the ground troops spreading death, the flames of war had already spread to the second level war zone. This place was only a step away from the final position of the general attack, but the intensity of the battle was not inferior to the battlefield in the air at all.
At this point, the mission of the hunting squad had already ended. Many teams returned to the camp and waited for the final outcome of the war. However, there were also unwilling teams that followed the main force of the army deep into the war zone to continue accumulating military merits. However, the Second Grade Theater of Operations was not comparable to the outer defensive line. The Catus had left five main barracks here, each with close to a thousand soldiers. Coupled with the help of a hundred Grai giants, this ground war was not easy to fight.
The battle lasted from day to night. Two of the five main barracks were knocked out, and the remaining three barracks were still more than enough to maintain the defensive line in the theater. Although the Federation had the advantage, they had also paid nearly a thousand casualties. Especially those hunting squads that followed the army deep in. Due to the lack of control over them, many squads did not listen to dissuasion, resulting in heavy casualties, and there were many who were annihilated. After the battle ended today, after the statistics of the camp staff department, the casualties were distributed in the form of battle reports. More than 200 people had died in the hunting squad today. Nearly 80% of them had died in the Second Grade Theater of Operations. This number was already quite shocking.
After all, the total number of members of the hunting squad participating in the Frost War was only around 500. But in today's battle, more than half of them had perished. Who knew how many youths that their families had placed their hopes on had died on the battlefield in a foreign land.
In the Federation's main camp, many people sighed as they looked at the real-time battle reports circulating on the screen. At this time, there was a commotion in the direction of the camp gate, and a few more troop carriers entered the camp. As soon as the flying vehicle entered, the paramedics in the camp rushed over and carried off the Federation soldiers with varying degrees of injuries. Currently, the emergency area was already overcrowded. There were so many soldiers waiting to use the body repair machine that the queue alone would last until tomorrow morning. Some of the heavily injured didn't even have time to receive first aid before they finally breathed their last in the camp.
In this situation, the paramedics could only tidy them up a little and put them into frozen corpse bags to be transported back to Earth for burial. Those who died in the camp could be considered lucky. At the very least, they could return to their hometowns. However, it was unknown how many of their corpses were destroyed, and even their nameplates could not be recovered.
This was war.
A few people jumped down from one of the vehicles unscathed. When the paramedics stepped forward to examine them, they were stopped by a tall man in black armor. Seeing that the other party was carrying a warhammer covered in spikes, the paramedics dispelled the idea of asking and tactfully ran to the other wounded. The other party refused to be examined, but the paramedics were happy to relax. After all, there were so many wounded soldiers, but the number of paramedics was limited.
After Reina beat the medic away, he said to Regis, "Accompany His Highness back to the dormitory first."
"What about you?"
"I'll go settle the score with the people in the command room!" Reina said with a gloomy expression.
After they withdrew from the valley belt, they encountered a few more groups of enemy soldiers on their way back. Finally, they arrived at a gathering point in the war zone before they were able to return to the camp safely in a troop carrier. Hearing that Reina was going to the command center to settle the score, Lucy raised her head and said, "I'll go too. They have to give an explanation."
'"Your Highness, I know you're angry and worried about Allen. But right now, I think what you need most is rest. Let me handle this matter. Although we, Beth Cod, are not wealthy families, we are not cowards who are manipulated and do not dare to say a word. "Reina strode towards the command center of the camp with a fiery aura.
Regis pulled Lucy, who nodded helplessly.
In the command room of the camp, several colonels were deducing the details of the ground war, preparing for tomorrow\'s battle. A soldier ran in in a panic and reported to a steady middle-aged colonel, "Colonel Seres, Reina of the Bescot family requests to meet General Katherine."
"Nonsense!" Colonel Seres stroked the thick beard on his chin and said, "The general is currently commanding the air battle on the floating mothership. How can he have time to see him? Get him out of here."
At the end of his sentence, a few soldiers outside the door screamed miserably and flew down a few times. However, they were obviously not injured and quickly got up from the ground. However, everyone looked at the door in panic. Seres looked over and the door was suddenly filled with a figure. Reina strode in with a murderous aura in his hand. Seres cursed and stepped forward, "What are you doing? Is this a place where you can come and go as you please? Get out of here! "
Reina sneered, "What a great official prestige. He\'s just a colonel, yet he dares to point fingers at me?"
Seres\ 'expression changed. He came from the surface and walked step by step to this position as a commoner. It could be said that he had paid a great price. Normally, the colonel looked down on the faces of those noble children the most. Obviously, Reina had vividly displayed the arrogance and rudeness of the nobles. Seres\ 'eyes immediately turned cold and he said, "Even Bescot has to abide by military discipline in the army. Don\'t think that the noble families can really do whatever they want. If you really think so, I will make you regret it! "
Reina laughed loudly. When Seres\'s face turned green, he lowered his head and said, "When it comes to acting recklessly, we can\'t compare to your Federation military, right?"
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Reina\'s pupils constricted and he roared, "If your military isn\'t so reckless, why did I, Bescot, get a strategic mission that is far from the actual situation?" "The mission clearly states that our goal is only a defensive fort, but in reality, that march route takes us to the main barracks of the enemy on the ground!"
"Is this a mission? This is asking us to die! " Reina said coldly, "Although I, Bescot, am not a wealthy family, if anyone thinks that they can use dirty methods against us, our family is willing to accompany them to the end. Even if it\'s your Federation Military Department, we dare to provoke them. I wonder if you, a colonel, can shoulder such a responsibility? "
Seres was speechless. If Reina had caused trouble for no reason, then Seres wouldn\'t have taken it to heart. But if Reina\'s accusations weren\'t groundless, then the problem would be huge. With Bescot\'s momentum in the past two years, some people had already asserted that this family would definitely squeeze into a wealthy family in ten years. Even the Federation government wasn\'t willing to offend such a large family, let alone a civilian colonel like him.
Moreover, if what Reina said was true, then Seres had no reason to provoke him. If Bescot\'s mission had been maliciously modified, Colonel Cassel, who was in charge of the mission, would have to explain it, and there was no need for him to forcefully stand up for him.
The colonel said, "Mr. Reina, your accusations are very serious. I want to know, what evidence do you have? "
"Evidence? You still want to use evidence to fool me at this point? "'" There were five of us when we left the camp, but only three of us were left when we returned. "Reina laughed angrily. The ones who didn\'t return were Allen and Belmore. As long as you pay a little attention to their previous battle performance and strength assessment, you will know that a mere 50-man fortress is simply impossible to keep the two of them. If we hadn\'t encountered a commander-level expert and a dozen bloody warriors, do you think we would have returned with casualties? And now, you want me to show you the evidence! "
Killing intent surged like a tide, and it was as if a storm had been set off in the command room. An aura filled with Reina\'s anger swept through every corner. The non-combat staff officers trembled as they looked helplessly at the colonels.
Seres\'s face turned green and red. With Reina\'s identity, he naturally didn\'t need to lie. However, this meant that a high-ranking official in the army had used the convenience of his public office to deal a ruthless blow to Bescot. Not to mention that there were only five people in their hunting squad, even if their regular army, which had spread the news of death, collided with the enemy\'s main barracks, they would still have to fight bitterly. Hearing that there were still bloody warriors, Reina\'s credibility was even higher.
After all, it was only in today\'s surface war that the military knew that the Catus\ 'bloody warriors had also participated in this war. That was the armed forces of the Barbarian Stone Star Temple. Apart from the military, the outside world didn\'t know much about it. Since Reina could call out a bloody warrior, it meant that he was probably telling the truth.
