Inside the spaceship.
In the room next to the command hall, the Federation officers and members of the Bureau of Proclamation watched the holographic screen and the slow movement of the data bar. They were so shocked by what had just happened that they didn't know what to say.
They didn't know who the officer carrying out the mission on the ground was, but in such a tense moment, when the lives of countless Federation soldiers were at stake, that person actually dared to threaten the command center and the Bureau of Proclamation with the threat of terminating the mission. He was truly crazy and deserved to die.
"I don't care if this officer can survive this time. After the mission is over, he must be punished according to military law." Deputy Director Bai of the Bureau of Proclamation's poker face was flushed with anger as he slammed the table in anger.
Xu Le's actions had seriously violated military discipline and even the first charter of the Federation, but right now, the big shots on the spaceship had no choice but to accept his threat. They didn't know why Xu Le wanted to keep the channel open, but according to the current data transmission speed, such a long transmission time would definitely expose the location of the Bureau of Proclamation's base.
The people in the room were silent, nervous, and angry as they guessed what would happen next. They were extremely worried that the network that the Federation spent countless manpower, resources, and time to reconstruct would collapse because of this officer's crazy actions.
But right at this moment, another accident happened.
With two soft beeps, the blue light of the data transmission device on the table disappeared. The data channel was suddenly cut off by the ground!
A cold light flashed through Deputy Director Bai's glasses. He couldn't suppress his anger and said loudly, "What is he trying to do? The progress is only at 13 points. "
Deputy Commander Yi put his palms on the table and stared at the holographic screen in silence. As an important military officer, he didn't show the anger and helplessness of the Bureau of Proclamation officials, but his mood was just as heavy.
Whether or not the Federation's general attack could be launched on time depended on Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le on the ground. But right now, this young man that the Federation military had placed high hopes on, unexpectedly cut off the data transmission again.
Right at this moment, a burst of enthusiastic cheers suddenly sounded from the command hall outside the door. The cheers were so loud that even the sealed door of the spaceship couldn't block them out.
Deputy Commander Yi suddenly straightened his body and looked into the hall through the one-way glass wall. At first glance, his slightly tired eyes suddenly shrank, revealing a trace of unbelievable ecstasy.
The Bureau of Proclamation did not know what had happened. They stood up in confusion and walked out of the hall.
On the wide holographic screen in the command hall was a precise electronic map of planet 163. Amidst the ecstatic cheers of the staff officers, a faint white dot of light gradually rose in the eastern ninth district of the Rocky Mountain range. Then, around this white dot of light, more dots of light lit up.
White spots of light appeared in the mountains, plateaus, primeval forests, coastlines, and knee-high grasslands. They gradually spread out and occupied every corner of the map. In the end, they formed an extremely complex ring network that was completely incomprehensible to the human eye.
This was a very beautiful process. It was as if a great creator had suddenly created a star, then two stars, until the sky was filled with stars. Their radiance extended far and wide, enveloping all directions.
…
…
Deputy Commander Yi calmly looked at the map on the holographic screen and the beautiful network of light dots. His slightly twitching lips revealed his true excitement at this moment. He ordered in a hoarse voice, "Scan from east to west. Do a comprehensive scan."
"Yes, sir!" The cheers in the command hall stopped. The staff officers operated the workstations in front of them as fast as they could. Following their operation, the images on the planet below the spaceship quickly appeared on the holographic screen one after another. Those images penetrated into the Imperial expeditionary force's control area and clearly showed the distribution of military forces and the electronic signal strength of the Empire.
The Bureau of Proclamation team standing at the door looked at each other in confusion. Deputy Director Bai especially opened her mouth wide. She was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She couldn't understand how that damn disciplinary officer had completed the mission when the technical manual had not been sent to the ground.
What made her and the other Bureau of Proclamation officials feel even more cold was why the monitoring network on the planet had automatically activated before they had even entered the top-secret activation command.
The inspection ended very quickly. Deputy Commander Yi was finally completely relieved. He sat in the big chair in the front of the hall and quickly said, "Send the message to the base and the troops on the ground. Ask the command departments at all levels to immediately synchronize the data. We … are ready to begin."
"Yes, sir," the staff officers replied.
Deputy Commander Yi took off his military cap and rubbed his white hair that was wet with sweat. After a moment of silence, he said with a smile, "Begin the calculation and draw up the battle plan."
A mechanical and electronically synthesized voice sounded in the command hall.
"Yes, sir."
After decades of being occupied by the Empire's invaders, The Glory Of The Charter had finally returned to this remote fallen planet.
…
…
"Actually, what we did was wrong. Although you have the first order access, you are not the commander of the Federal Army. I always felt that we should wait for the order from the spaceship before activating the monitoring network on the surface."
When the Federal Central Computer communicated with Xu Le, it was obviously much more talkative than when it was on the spaceship.
Xu Le had no time to pay attention to the long speech that flashed in his left pupil. Forcing his tired body, he reinstalled the external protection device of the base and then carefully redid the physical disguise.
According to the first order of the charter, the Federal Central Computer could never perform any direct physical operations. It could only play the role of a server and a tool. But Xu Le didn't care about this. He stared at the appointed time on his wristwatch and used his authority to directly order the central computer to activate the monitoring network on the planet.
He couldn't see the countless light spots lighting up in the dark sky like the people on the spaceship. He couldn't see the silent information fragments and fierce data streams, but vaguely, he always felt that the air around him had a lot more existence that made him feel warm.
After finishing the disguise work under the pine, Xu Le gently fanned his cheeks to wake himself up a little. From last night to tonight, the continuous fighting and running, coupled with the wounds on his body, made his body on the verge of exhaustion.
The sound of the Woodland Empire soldiers in the distance became clearer and clearer, and the distance was getting closer and closer. He took a deep breath, picked up the backpack and long sniper beside him, and moved a dozen meters away with difficulty and slowly.
It was only a very short crawl forward, but it made his breathing rapid again. The reason he could hold on until now was all because of the magical power in his body. However, at this time, the power was already exhausted. All the injuries and exhaustion seemed to erupt at the same time, making it difficult for him to even move a finger.
"The final battle?"
Leaning against the slightly wet bark, he casually grabbed a handful of wet rotten leaves and wiped his face carelessly. Listening to the approaching footsteps of the Empire soldiers, he converted the despair in his heart into a last ditch effort. He slowly raised the 2126 long sniper rifle in his hand, put on the night vision goggles, and aimed in the direction of the soldiers.
At this time, a few rows of clear characters appeared in his left eye again.
"Seventeen people, no heavy firepower, no strong colonization armor, the 2126 long sniper is the best choice."
Xu Le's body suddenly stiffened. He suddenly remembered that the old man had already come to this planet. Although the Empire people did not have chips behind their necks, their bodies emitted heat.
His eyes became extremely bright. He took off the night vision goggles with trembling fingers, and then found that virtual three-dimensional images from different perspectives quickly flashed in his left eye. In these images, the reddened bodies of the Empire soldiers were so clear.
"32 degrees to the left, 73, 44 meters, same height."
Without hesitation, Xu Le suddenly raised the long sniper in his hand and aimed in that direction. It was clearly dark in that place, and he could not see anyone, but he still pulled the trigger with force.
With a dull click, the long sniper equipped with a silencer sprayed out a fine bullet tail fire, and somewhere in the night, there was the sound of a human body falling heavily.
…
…
"29 degrees to the left, 74.21 meters, tilt down …"
Notifications appeared in his left eye again, and those clear infrared images also provided powerful assistance for his aim. Turning his left arm slightly, still facing the darkness, Xu Le pulled the trigger again. Unsurprisingly, another Empire soldier fell to the ground and died.
Only now did the small group of Empire soldiers notice the abnormality, but then another person fell to the ground while clutching his bleeding throat.
"% ¥#%% ¥…"
The small group of Empire soldiers screamed in fear and scattered in all directions, searching for a place to hide. They did not know how many Federation soldiers were ambushing them, and they did not know how those bullets from the darkness would accurately hit their companions.
It was extremely difficult for Xu Le to change the shooting position. He was still facing the dark night. Slightly at a loss, he pulled the trigger resolutely. The bullets from the long sniper rifle were like killing intent from the netherworld. They danced in the air, ignoring the fear of the people and mercilessly reaping lives.
…
…
There was no twilight in the forest, only darkness, but the three high moons in the sky illuminated the sky at the same time.
Xu Le sat on a protruding rock halfway up the mountain and looked up at the night sky. He realized that the night at this time was like a slightly dark day, clearer than the twilight.
He did not know if the Federation's choice of a general attack tonight had anything to do with the three bright moons, but he felt that the clouds in the sky were exceptionally clear and beautiful.
In the forest, all seventeen Empire soldiers died under his blind shots, just like in the S2 Foundation building. The killing on the battlefield seemed to have become a game.
Until now, he was still a little confused about what had happened, but the feeling of happiness that occupied his entire body and mind made him know how wonderful it was to survive a disaster.
Suddenly, the quiet moonlit night was broken by a loud roar. Countless missiles came from the west, dragging a mournful line, and attacked the position of the Imperial expeditionary force with incomparable terror. Then, a dense group of Federation fighters appeared in the night sky and attacked with a roar.
The Federal Army's attack officially began. Xu Le knew that in places where he could not see, there were countless Federation tanks and mechas rumbling and crushing the trembling earth. A trace of true relief flashed across his pale and black cheeks.
In the silver moonlight, he turned his head to look at the Empire's position in the east. Looking at the explosions that were like fireworks, he was silent for a long time before softly cursing with a hoarse voice.
His body was a little cold. He trembled as he took out a lighter and lit the dry cigarette between his lips that he had been holding for a long time, stained with traces of blood.
The spicy smoke poured into his lungs, choking him and making him cough a few times. He could not help but rub his eyes, and then looked at the sky full of bullets and fire, silent.
