A diorama appeared in front of Lieutenant Colonel Ned, and at this moment the lights in the war room had been safely turned off, and everyone in the room could clearly see every detail of the stereoscopic mode. This is a tactical sandbox, and the location is naturally Chaos Canyon. In this valley with mixed landscapes, the flat earth is still striking. In particular, the pitch-black diamond-shaped machines on the ground are working, attracting everyone's attention.

"Chaos Canyon." Ned stretched out his hand and turned lightly, allowing the stereo mode to rotate slowly, so that everyone could see the battlefield from more angles: "According to the information we have received, it has been basically confirmed that the Jotun alien race located on the frost star is hiding here. The General Staff Headquarters has already sent a battle order, and the military headquarters will dispatch a fleet of 10,000 people to attack the enemy. At that time, hunting groups from various bases will also participate, and it will be a large-scale counterattack. ”

Under the connection points on the diorama of the lieutenant colonel, temporary camps, large and small guard towers, dark forts and bunkers and other war fortifications appeared one after another. They enclosed the flat land, forming a defensive zone of great depth.

"After receiving the information, the military department conducted an investigation into the Chaos Canyon. It is basically confirmed that the number of enemy troops in the canyon is around seven to eight thousand, there are hundreds of Gray Giants staying in it, and there are three Dark Titans that have been discovered. As for those machines, by the analysis of the headquarters, they should be collapse resonators. ”

Alan was still unfamiliar with this word, but Rhys next to him looked shocked.

"What's that?" He asked softly.

Rhys smiled bitterly: "The strategic weapons inside the planet, the lieutenant colonel should be able to explain." ”

After everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief, Ned said, "You should be unfamiliar with this kind of machine, after all, it is not common. The so-called collapse resonator is not only to use the principle of resonance with the internal source force of the planet to achieve the purpose of artificially creating gravitational collapse. In this way, you can understand, yes, this kind of machine has only one function, which is to transform the frost star into a black hole. Once the gravitational collapse of the planet's interior is formed, it cannot be reversed. Not only Frost Star, but also those of us who reside on it will be sucked into the black hole, and there will be no residue left. ”

There was a soft cry in the room.

A sturdy man wearing a dark blue cloak and silver-white armor clenched his fists and said, "These aliens are too despicable to fight head-on, so they will only play these little tricks behind their backs!" ”

"It's no small trick." Another man with a thin body, sparse hair, and a long neck smiled wryly: "Once the gravitational collapse occurs inside the planet, all of us will have to finish playing." Not to mention us, even if the general is in the middle of the collapse force field, there is no chance of survival. ”

"That's right, so this fight has to be fought not only but quickly. The General Staff Headquarters has already scheduled the time of the attack for tomorrow at noon, and before that, you have to report to the front-line camp to facilitate the unified command of the military headquarters. A series of information such as the coordinates of the front-line camps and the targets assigned to you will be sent to your tactical brains in a moment, so please be sure to read them carefully. That's the main point of this meeting, if there are other problems, you better pack your things immediately and leave at noon. ”

The lights came back on, the doors opened, and the people walked out of the war room and prepared to go. Alan was about to leave when he was stopped by Ned, and the lieutenant colonel gave him a look, and Alan knew that he had something to say, so he left with him.

Arriving at the lieutenant colonel's office, Ned took out a brain and put it in front of Allen's eyes after a few operations. A login window appears on the screen, and Alan looks at the lieutenant colonel. The latter said with a smile: "The batch of goods you asked me to sell is already in the material warehouse of the Linyuan Fortress, according to the account you provided, after deducting the necessary handling fees, the balance has been fully remitted to your federal account, you can check it." ”

Alan was also unkindly and logged into his account. Entering the inquiry page, a moment later, a message floated on the screen, indicating that Alan had just received a remittance not long ago, with a total of about 27 million. Coupled with the Thames silver that was sold before, Allen now has nearly 50 million deposits in his personal account.

That's definitely a lot of money.

Looking at those moving figures, he began to understand a little why Windsor Bello had a penchant for accumulating money.

"I didn't expect the value of Mr. Allen's shipment to be so high, about two or three percent higher than I expected. Thanks to you, I've made a lot of money. Ned told the truth, he changed his words, and added: "The scale of this counterattack is probably the first time that Mr. Allen has seen it. Since the Jotun alien race has put on such a large game of chess pieces, it must not be easy to eat. Anything can happen on the battlefield, and Mr. Allen is still young, and his achievements are limitless. So I think that although the military merits are good, there is no need to rush for a while. What's more, since the information you provided has been confirmed, a second-class military merit can't run. When it comes to the central battlefield, there are more opportunities to make military achievements. In this counterattack, Mr. Allen only needs to do his part, and as for the rest, he will still be responsible for the military department. ”

"It's my opinion or two, and I made Mr. Allen laugh."

Alan shook his head and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Ned, this is from the bottom of my heart, don't worry, I am measured." ”

"That's good. That's right, bravery is a rare quality, but if you only know how to rush forward blindly, and don't know how to seek good fortune and avoid evil, what is the difference between it and a reckless man? Heroes and heroes, only those who are alive are called heroes. As for those who died in battle, they were at most martyrs. Ned said meaningfully.

Alan glanced at him, Ned had always given him a timid and scared look before, but now a few words were quite insightful, and he was immediately impressed by him. Thinking that he could stay in a place like Frost Star for ten years, I'm afraid this lieutenant colonel is not as simple as it seems.

There is still some time before departure.

Eren first went to the Demon Arsenal to retrieve his broken blade armor, and after reporting his name, an equipment box came to him from the conveyor belt. Alan lifted the box and placed it on a long table. Open, on the black cushion lies a series of components of repaired blade armor. The armor's Cube sequence and conductive patterns have not been damaged, only the armor has been damaged.

When it was handed over to the maintenance workshop, Alan was handed over to the workshop along with the snake scales taken from the crystal python. The scales are forged at high temperatures and then filled with blade armor using smelting techniques. Now that the armor has been completely renewed, there is a brief comparison of the stats next to the armor. As you can see from the information listed above, the armor is not heavier than before, but decreases, and the defense performance is increased by 40%. Wearing it, Allen's ability to save his life on the battlefield has increased by a few points.

After noon, the Magic Starships lifted off in the Kaiyan base. According to the coordinates provided by the lieutenant colonel, the starship took off in the direction of the forward camp. The sound of engines still lingered in mid-air, and Lieutenant Colonel Ned stood in his office, watching the direction in which the fleet had vanished. The lieutenant colonel was promoted and said to the adjutant, "If I were ten years younger, I would go to war like those young people." ”

"You're not old now." Said the adjutant.

"No, it's old. At least I'm more scared of death than I used to be. Ned sat back in his place, "So, it's better for someone like me to stay in the base honestly." ”

More than a hundred kilometers away from the Chaos Canyon, a large area of trees had been bulldozed down and a huge camp had been cleared. Starships were constantly rising and descending from the camp, and several lines of defense had been set up around the camp. As far away, there was a constant sound of gunfire and gunfire, and sometimes there was a muffled sound of the collision of forces. Several local battlefields were unfolding at the same time, and even in the camp, the smell of gunpowder could be smelled.

After the Federation fleet entered Frost and opened a forward camp here, the Jotun aliens sent troops to harass and attack. A march of this magnitude of the Federation fleet simply could not be concealed and there was no need to conceal it. With so many collapse resonators in the Chaotic Canyon, the Jotun Alien Race could not easily withdraw even if they knew that the army was being fed. It is precisely because of this that the Federation has no scruples and has put on a pattern of a general attack.

At this moment, in the command room of the front-line camp, Catherine was looking at the diorama of the canyon in front of her. She and several colonels discussed the tactics of tomorrow's general attack, and continued to refine the details. Then someone strode in through the door, and as soon as he entered, he shouted, "It turns out that you are presiding over the battle, dear Catherine. I haven't seen you for a while, and you're more beautiful than ever. ”

Catherine frowned and said to the colonels, "You go down first." ”

Then he raised his head and looked at the man who sat down with a big thorn pulling over a chair: "Kemon, you're not dead yet?" ”

"What a special greeting, Catherine, you still have such a good sense of humor." The man named Komon wears a black cape, and the general star on his military hat indicates that he is also a general. With the motif of the Dark Codex on his cape, this general is apparently subordinate to the Death Spread as much as Catherine.

"Less nonsense, since you're here, take a good look at tomorrow's battle plan."

"That stuff doesn't work for me. Don't worry, Catherine, tomorrow you will be here to command, and as for the front line, it will naturally be handed over to me as a man. He stood up suddenly, and his figure flashed, and he came behind Catherine: "Then do you consider the proposal I made last time, and if you agree to my proposal, then I will be very honored." Think about it, the Grant family can give you conditions that other families don't have. ”

"I don't seem to have any conditions yet." Catherine sneered, "So please don't be too sentimental, Comon. Mr. Grant! ”

Common spread his hands, took a few steps back, and said, "Of course I respect your decision, but Miss Catherine, as a colleague, I have to warn you. A woman without the protection of her family is very dangerous on the battlefield. If something happens, your life will be ruined. ”
