1,384 Ceres Changes Hands

A few days later, the alien fleet that carried out the interception mission returned to Ceres. The fleets of both sides were evenly matched, and neither could do anything to the other. They occupied half of Ceres each, and the confrontation turned into a confrontation.

However, it was only the fleet that was confronting. The alien troops underground did not stop for a moment and kept digging in the direction of the artillery array. In order to speed up the progress, I don’t know how many giant insects were exhausted along the way.

Gao Kai knew that there must be a problem underground, but all the servants assigned to the Nanzhou fleet were deployed to Ceres. Even if he wanted to take action, he had no servants to use. If he had to fight, he could only deploy the Marines.

The situation on Ceres was not very clear, but deploying the Marines was definitely not in Gao Kai’s plan.

In this way, the enemy continued to dig holes in the ground, and even opened up the holes left before. It took more than ten days before and after, and finally dug near the artillery array.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the aliens dug through the cave under the artillery array. The enemy soldiers who had been holding back for half a month rushed into the cave like a tide and launched a fierce battle with the servants guarding here. The two sides fought bravely in the narrow cave. Every hole and every corner changed hands repeatedly, and the bodies of both sides almost blocked the cave.

The servants' resistance was extremely brave, but the enemy soldiers who attacked continued to attack, and the servants died one by one. The balance of victory was originally inclined to the enemy, and this made them win more and more, forcing the defenders to retreat step by step.

Gao Kai, who received the news, sighed continuously, but there was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't really throw the Marines in, right? With that little force, it was not enough to fill the enemy's teeth.

How great would it be if the superiors gave more servants?

Gao Kai thought so, and did so. He directly submitted a report and asked his superiors to send more servants, not 10,000 or 20,000, but 50,000 at the beginning.

Huo Qiang almost laughed out loud after receiving the application. He didn't have enough for himself, so how could he have extra servants for Gao Kai? Besides, even if there were extra ones, it would be too late to send them to Ceres. In the end, Gao Kai only got a four-word reply: evacuate at the right time.

Gao Kai was discouraged. Is this the rhythm of giving up Ceres? The initial investment was so large, even if Ceres was a bait, don't just give up, okay?

At this point, Gao Kai had no good solution, he could only take it one step at a time.

The enemy's attack was getting more and more fierce, and the defenders were just the opposite. The troops in each direction were stretched to the limit.

Faced with this unfavorable situation, Gao Kai decisively ordered the defenders to shrink their forces, actively give up some unimportant areas, and gather the remaining servants together.

The abandoned areas were not directly handed over to the enemy. Before all troops evacuated, explosives were placed in advance, and nuclear bombs were even placed in important areas. It would be fine if the enemy did not enter these areas. Once the enemy entered, the defenders would immediately detonate the explosives and collapse the entire cave. I don’t know how many enemy soldiers were buried by the collapsed cave.

If it were on Earth, all the buried enemy soldiers would not be counted well, at least it would be a heavy loss, but it was different on Ceres. The result of the low gravity was that the weight of the earth and rocks falling from the collapse was not enough. Only a few enemy soldiers were directly killed by the falling rocks, and the others were buried alive.

The servants can survive in a vacuum, and their shells are also strong. Burying them in the soil is not a problem at all, as long as they are dug out in time.

As a result, after the enemy sent giant insects to dig up the cave, 60% of the buried enemy soldiers were fine, very
