Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1263: Chapter 688: Please Authorize, Reiaductus Battle (4)

The survival of Leroux, and the connective, cooperative, command system he established among the remnant forces of the Northern Line, was originally prepared for the entire unit to survive better and longer on Reiaductus.

After all, sometimes an isolated remnant unit, once located by the Insect Race, is doomed. But now, although still very dangerous, at least there are friendly forces that can help save them. If they lack ammunition, they can secretly transport some from brother units; where it is discovered that there are supplies left behind by planets falling into Insect Race hands, or supplies transported to the ground during the first campaign, joint actions can be taken to seize them.

In any case, Leroux’s efforts over the past year and a half allowed the Northern Line remnant forces to preserve as much of their vitality as possible, and also retain a certain combat capability.

And all of this is now bursting out with power.

The rescue of Lin Xiaodong’s division originated from this. Otherwise, how could nearly ten thousand Long Son Army soldiers appear on the battlefield at such a crucial time and play a pivotal role?

But rescuing some airborne army units is secondary.

Their core mission is still to destroy those anti-aircraft nests.

Although he followed Qin Zhiping, Lin Xiaodong was somewhat doubtful in his heart: Can we win with our current strength?

It’s normal for him to have doubts.

With his subordinates and the Long Son Army combined, there were less than fifteen thousand people. The Long Son Army was quite ’poor,’ needing his unit to spare some ammunition to restore a significant amount of combat power. Although the artillery was barely sufficient, the essential armored units for attacking the Insect Race’s nests were very lacking. His two Armored Companies had already been battered to a half-crippled state, and the Long Son Army didn’t even have a single tank.

In such a dire situation, can they conquer a complete anti-aircraft nest?

Even with the formidable-looking Judgment Chief Qin Zhiping leading and ten Interstellar Warriors of the Silver Vigil, he still felt it was quite precarious.

No choice is no choice, facing a higher level of combat mission, they would go forward without hesitation. But it did not prevent him from being very pessimistic about the success rate in his heart.

Of course, he did not show any of this on his face. He did not ask Qin Zhiping about any combat plans and always maintained a calm, confident demeanor in front of his subordinates.

He was prepared for the entire division, including himself, to sacrifice in battle.

However, when the troops reached the attack position and made the final battle preparations, he saw a unit that excited him greatly.

They were a group of Interstellar Warriors with black paint and a striking white cross emblem.

There were as many as a hundred of them!

With the addition of these hundred Black Cross Army, it was much more reassuring!

At the same time, Lin Xiaodong also noticed the leading Black Cross Army warrior. Not only was he equipped with magnificent Terminator Power Armor, but it was also adorned with various medals and a commander insignia.

Could he be a big shot in the Black Cross Army?

He guessed this, however, it was when Qin Zhiping later invited him to the final pre-battle meeting that he learned this Black Cross Army commander’s identity was even more significant than he thought:

This was the Northern Front Army’s Commander-in-Chief Marshal Le Luwa, previously presumed missing and likely already sacrificed.

He became even more confident about the upcoming battle!

…

Leroux sat amidst a ruin of flesh and blood, his black and white trimmed Power Armor covered in the green, red, and purple blood sprayed from dying Insect Races, making him look somewhat disheveled.

But in any case, the battle was won.

The Alliance Army artillery unleashed a ferocious barrage, providing strong firepower cover for the assault troops; the Long Son Army and an Alliance infantry regiment, along with the Interstellar Warriors, charged together, drawing significant attention from the extensive Insect Swarm at considerable sacrifice, playing an excellent preliminary role.

Under the guidance of Qin Zhiping, an expert against Aliens, the Black Cross Army personally led by Leroux did not take a wrong turn, charging straight into the half-underground, half-surface structure of the Insect Nest core, clearing out all the live anti-aircraft artillery.

Afterward, they intercepted the hastily returning ’Screaming Killers,’ commonly known as the Executioner Tyrants, advanced units of the Insect Nest, just one rank below the Insect Nest Tyrants.

Initially, they were drawn away by the Alliance’s infantry regiment. The Alliance warriors, with great sacrifice, held them off for a period, making the Black Cross Army’s assault seem so smooth.

Of course, it couldn’t be for too long.

But by now, it wasn’t needed.

Having resolved the primary target, Leroux, who was free to face the enemy head-on, personally beheaded the powerful Insect Race node creature, securing complete victory in this battle.

Although the battle was not entirely over, with quite a few mindless bugs, having lost their node creature, still needing to be cleaned up, overall, the battle had no more variables.

Sitting in the ruins of the battlefield, Leroux was not resting.

A Technical Sergeant and a Think Tank from the battle group were right beside him, assisting him in using the already erected Star Language Tower to communicate with various units on the ground, confirming the current movement status of each unit, and sending new orders.
