Chapter 931 - The Pain of Sacrifice
The battle started again.
The soldiers immediately entered into an endless killing, and the sound of heavy mechas and star beasts colliding could be heard far and wide.
On the ground battlefield, the busiest people were biomedical scientists and medical robots.
They shuttled through the battlefield, taking the injured soldiers away from the mechas, bandaging their wounds, and performing surgery without stopping for a second.
They raced against time with the god of death, but they still could not avoid death.
When a soldier lost his life, a voice would pop up on the terminal, and every broadcast made other soldiers sad.
Xi Xiu was even worse. She knew there would be sacrifices, but she always naively thought that her team could get away with it every time.
At the end of the day, she knew in her heart that there was not so much luck, and this time the battlefield was extremely tragic.
The strength of the star beasts had reached an unprecedented level, and heavy mechas would be knocked away by the star beasts.
Moreover, they also learned to fight in unity, and a team of six people could not deal with two star beasts at all.
Xi Xiu, Alivik, and Li Zhengfeng immediately changed the battle plan and used a protective barrier to separate the star beasts.
Then, they killed them one by one.
Although the plan was changed in time, the voices of the soldiers who died would still come out from time to time.
These voices affected her battle, so she could only turn off the voice and kill a few more star beasts. This was the only thing she could do.
After she had killed fifteen, she was exhausted and supported her body with a long knife. She looked up at her area, and all she could see were the corpses of star beasts.
The smelly liquid flowed all over the ground.
It lasted for a long time.
Outside the protective barrier, the star beasts bared their fangs and panted heavily, and they were already very tired.
They seemed to know that they couldn't get in, so they left directly and planned to attack again after dark. They didn't believe that the cunning humans could defend so steadily.
With their strength, they still had time to take a nap, and other intelligent creatures needed to rest for a longer time.
Watching those behemoths leave, Xi Xiu's heart did not relax.
She cleaned her protective clothing with detergent and went to deal with various matters related to the sacrificed soldiers.
When the soldiers lose their vital signs, the terminal will report the information to the alliance. As a general, she needs to confirm it again.
The soldiers' bodies must be found in some ways. Biomedical scientists and medical robots have already found some of them.
Some soldiers' bodies were dragged out of the mecha by the star beasts and torn into pieces. The soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield had to find them piece by piece.
Xi Xiu also joined in.
This process was very painful.
The collected fragments were given to the robot to compare the genetic information and confirm the name of the soldier.
Then enter the system and pay the pension.
The bodies of the sacrificed soldiers were sewn up and buried, and sent back to the galaxy where they were born, or the galaxy where they left their last words for burial.
Each galaxy has a cemetery for the burial of martyrs, some on the ground, and some in the starry sky. The alliance will contact the relatives of the sacrificed soldiers to confirm the burial site.
These matters are handled by special agencies. Xi Xiu and others only need to send the soldiers back to their hometowns.
A Xian and others also followed Xi Xiu silently, doing the same sorting work as her.
After dark, the artificial light of the base illuminated the ground. Their work was almost finished. Some soldiers' bodies had not been found, and the signals of their terminals appeared outside the protective barrier.
Xi Xiu sighed heavily.
After finishing the sorting work, Xi Xiu dragged her tired body back to the office.
Just after cleaning the blood on her protective suit, Qing Zhixun's video came in.
Seeing the dark blue under Xi Xiu's eyes, Qing Zhixun felt distressed, but there was no way to help her.
He could only send her supplies and weapons, and transfer people if there were not enough.
Xi Xiu also took a look at Qing Zhixun in the video and found that his situation was not much better than hers. No one had an easy time in the past two months.
After reporting the situation here to Siyun in detail, Qing Zhixun also told Xi Xiu about the situation in Liuning: "Liuning will soon be attacked."
Qing Zhixun's information channels and Jiuxing's channels both showed that a group of unknown forces were rushing towards Liuning Fortress.
Although they lost their traces on the way, they would definitely come to Liuning.
The other party is planning to destroy the reserve forces of the Jingsu Alliance.
The Liuzhao Galaxy in Liuning Fortress is a military galaxy. Except for the Second Military Academy in Anville, the remaining five military academies are all in Liuzhao Galaxy.
Xixiu immediately understood what Qing Zhixun said. The defense of Liuzhao Galaxy had been adjusted before, so it can be said to be very safe.
However, Xixiu was worried that her own people could not resist the temptation and another Ye Zhenwei would come.
After Qing Zhixun and Xixiu discussed work matters, he asked her caringly if she needed any other help. Xixiu shook her head: "We have enough supplies and weapons."
It's just that the battle will take a little longer, and if Liuning is in danger, they will not be able to return to help.
Qing Zhixun said worriedly: "If you have any difficulties, you must tell me, I will deal with it."
Xixiu nodded: "Okay."
She will definitely tell me if there are difficulties, and she will not disregard the lives of the soldiers.
Before the video screen disappeared, Qing Zhixun finally said "Be careful", with a tone full of heartache and worry.
Xixiu understood.
After hanging up the video call, Xi Xiu counted the number of soldiers who died today, which was much lower than what she and Li Zhengfeng had estimated before.
This was really not a comforting thing.
After discussing tomorrow's battle with others, Alivik and Li Zhengfeng both thought that they should change their strategy.
They proposed that the combat robots should lead the way and the soldiers should assist in the battle, which should reduce the damage.
Xi Xiu also agreed, "But there is one thing, the number of combat robots we brought from Liuning is not large."
This requires some distribution.
Alivik asked the people in the Anbu to send all their robots yesterday. Long Xingxue is on the way to Siyun, and she will also have some robots there.
Ming Weiman even sent the robots in his factory directly to the transfer station of Siyun Star through the rapid transmission system.
With these numbers, there can be one combat robot for five people.
During the battle, they must strictly prevent their robot systems from being invaded by Qin Hongjun.
In fact, this risk is also very high.
Xi Xiu told everyone about her concerns, and Li Zhengfeng knew that her concerns were not unreasonable.
Finally, Xi Xiu decided to separate the combat areas of the combat robots.
"The robots fight alone, and the soldiers all use heavy armor to separate the robots but not completely isolate them." In this way, the robots can rescue the soldiers immediately when they encounter danger.
Li Zhengfeng pondered for a while: "Based on the personalities of Qin Hongjun and Qin Jian, they will not wait to be beaten obediently. There will definitely be many hidden tricks in this war that we can't think of. We still have to think about all aspects."
