A high-latitude volcano near the West Sea began to erupt violently without warning, and the glaciers that had accumulated around it for hundreds of millions of years began to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the ice and snow within a radius of hundreds of square kilometers of the volcano mixed with molten slurry and spread towards the low-lying areas.

Wherever the molten slurry passed, on the already barren snowfield, it was even more smeared, and the red-hot rock awards were in close contact with the cold ice, making a snorting and barbecing sound, and the water vapor carried black ash, spraying frantically towards the sky.

Followed by a strong earthquake of magnitude 9, fortunately, the epicenter of this earthquake was extremely deep, and the intensity after reaching the surface had been greatly exhausted, and the surface of this planet, which had been fighting for decades, did not have too many artificial structures except for the military vehicles and mecha walking in the wilderness, so it did not cause too many human losses.

The arrival of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes was just a kind warning from nature to the two sides of the planet who were busy fighting, and the overall temperature of the 5460 Northern Hemisphere began to slowly rise, and in the midst of this terrifying celestial phenomenon, the Federation ground forces, a total of seven integrated divisions, withdrew at high speed to the south.

On the bank of K22 Ice Peak, there was a small Imperial force stationed in the lanes, the first to discover the enemy's movements, they had long been accustomed to fighting day and night, and they were stunned to find that for four hours, although the federal shells were still bombarding, but those difficult federal troops had never attacked again.

The company commander thought silently for a long time, struck the wall of the hardy cement fortification with his hand, and crawled out of the alley with a machine gun.

Struggling to climb over the heavy ice at the entrance of the alleyway to intercept Union bullets, the company commander pulled the ground with his gun to his feet. He looked at the empty snowfield in front of him and the silent federal military camp opposite, and was surprised and didn't know how to speak.

The Federalists withdrew?

Pressed by the fierce battles of the past few days and the despair of being abandoned, he was about to go crazy, and he was silent for a long, long time before he confirmed this fact, he grabbed a handful of snow and rubbed his mud-covered face vigorously, until he wiped the roots of Tieqing's beard and was about to bleed, then he came to his senses from the cold, turned around and ran into the alley with a face full of ecstasy, and shouted loudly in a hoarse voice: "The Federalists have withdrawn!

The Imperial soldiers in the depths of the fortifications were stunned, and looked at each other for a long time, somewhat incredulously, before believing the company commander's statement, and with great difficulty they helped each other to their feet, laughing and crying loudly, beating each other, and hugging each other.

The sound of the lucky celebration of the death in the alleyway did not last long, and the laughter of the people became quieter, for they faintly heard a strange sound that they had never heard before, coming from the darkness in the deepest part of the alleyway.

The company commander listened attentively for a moment, and suddenly his face changed drastically, grabbed the gun beside him, rushed towards the side door of the alley deep underground, and shouted loudly: "Prepare to fight Chinese! ”

There was a faint rumbling sound from the depths of the alleyway, extremely heavy and powerful, and at first far away it was not clear, but in a short time, it became as loud as a war drum.

The Imperial soldiers lay on the ground, staring nervously and ferociously at the bottom of the dark alleyway, they didn't know what these terrifying sounds were, and subconsciously thought that it was the new mecha weapon of the Federation people, only the heavy alloy equipment could make such a loud noise, so it seemed to explain the sudden withdrawal of the Federation troops on the other side of the glacier.

It is not a new type of federal mecha that can penetrate deep into the interior of the glacier, but an existence that is more terrifying than the mecha group.

The Imperial Company Commander who was guarding the front and rear listened to the loud noise like thunder, his pupils shrank sharply, and after seeing what it was with a faint light, his body trembled violently with fear, but he didn't have time to turn around or shout, so he was hit hard against the wall and turned into a bloody corpse.

Thousands of tons of cold water carried heavy and sharp ice cubes, accumulated at the top of the glacier and in the crevices, along the underground river created by nature, raging inside the glacier at a rapid speed, and then finally entered the underground tunnel network that the Imperial had built for decades, and turned into an unstoppable flow of ice under the tremendous pressure, gushing out!

With a loud bang, Ling Liu instantly rushed into the alley of the imperial team, roared and crashed on the hard cement wall, making a thunderous roar, and then ran out unscrupulously, turning into a fountain on the steep cliff face of the glacier, shooting into the blue sky in the morning light, until it was tens of meters high before falling unwillingly.

In a very short period of time, the staggering amount of water destroyed all the attacks in the alley, and the Imperial soldiers did not know where they were washed, and it was difficult to see even a trace of blood in the alley.

After a few minutes, the pressure in the crevices inside the glacier gradually equalized, and the stream subsided. The collapsed alleyways were filled with icy water, a deep blue lake that looked like a deep lake, with dense ice cubes and the occasional few crumbling empty crates.

The temperature is still not high, and it will not be long before the tens of millions of tons of cold water in the lanes slowly condense into ice again, waiting for a few days when the temperature is higher, they will melt again, roar again, or maybe condense again, and so on countless times, and maybe find a chance to be lucky enough to rush into the steppe neighbors in the south who have been separated for more than 2,000 years.

There was a quiet and dead silence in the dark alleys, with the occasional rippling sound of water and cracking, and the last position of the Imperial Expeditionary Force was turned into death by the power of nature in the place where the federal troops could not go down in a bloody battle.

......

......

Several small sub-bases hidden in the glaciers in Area K were all destroyed by Liuling, and the old general Ambrey had already learned of this disorderly news, and with the support of the guard officer, he slowly walked out of the gate of the base, looking at the eastern sky, looking at the incomparably clear lines of volcanic black smoke, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his old face.

If it was just a small stream caused by volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, it should not spread to the last base under his feet, the old general thought silently.

However, his mood was cold, and he knew that this was just a self-consoling argument - if it was really just a small wandering caused by a volcanic eruption, why would the Federation withdraw? The Empire didn't have enough sophisticated computers to do this, but the Federation did.

"Let the remaining troops be dispatched, use the last reserves of ordnance, and do whatever it takes to hold back the federal troops who are retreating south. ”

"Don't try to stop their combat units, target them at their quick-setting cement depots and engineering mechs. ”

The old general Ambrey looked to the south, and said in a cold tone: "Remember, at all costs, no matter what rank of officer, you must keep at least one federal soldier for me." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. The guard officer beside him replied.

General Ambrey squinted at the snow in front of him, the wrinkles on his face were like layers of snow blown by the wind, and after a long silence, he added: "I know you are not afraid of death...... But this time we can't be afraid of death, because this may be the last chance for us not to be afraid of death, and I will accompany you. ”

Some places in the planet's glacial area are still late at night, and some places have already ushered in early morning. The last warriors of the Imperial Expeditionary Force on this planet have stepped out or crawled out of the narrow aisles.

The remnants of the tired soldiers, who were exhausted and the ordnance and equipment were about to run out, did not have time to breathe the fresh air that they had not been exposed to for a long time, and when they looked at the blue sky that they had not seen for many days, they had a faint and near-death emotion in their eyes, silently and strongly, supported their companions, and ran towards the strategic nodes in all directions.

Nearly 10,000 Imperial soldiers didn't know what was happening on this planet, they didn't even know that there was a volcano erupting in Area K, the violent shaking the day before yesterday was a big earthquake in the distance, they only knew that this was an order from their superiors, and it was their last chance to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, so they walked out with guns and went out in broad daylight in the flat snow fields to intercept or pursue those federal troops who were far better equipped than themselves and dozens of times more many.

How crazy is that?

The volcanic ash in the distant sky dome was blown away by the cold wind in the sky, and in the early morning Dong'an sky dome, the planet was so clear that it seemed to be unreal outside the atmosphere, and a black line could be faintly seen.

That's the Federation fleet in outer space.

At the entrance to the Imperial base at the high sea of Ice Peak, General Ambri, who was insisting on standing in the wind and snow to see off the last ride for the warriors, was violently pounced by his bodyguards, and then forcibly dragged into the fortified base.

More than sixty milky white pillars of light, emanating from the bow of the battleship in space, instantly entered the clear and faint atmosphere, and with the help of the precise positioning of the charter network, they fell fiercely towards the snowfield in all directions.

There was no sound that was too violent, and the pillar of light that was adjusted to cover the area of the attack turned countless Imperial soldiers who were struggling in the snowfield into light smoke, and countless ice and snow melted, and the snow peaks did not exist, and the whole process was like an accelerated spring, but it seemed so terrifying.

Just this round of battleship main gun attacks has already knocked out the two-year quota of the Federation's peacetime, but the imperial officers and soldiers who were shouting in vain to avoid and even cursing at the sky were a little desperate to find that dozens of milky white pillars of light had thundered down from the sky.

In the face of the madness of the Imperials, the Federation's response is also crazy.

The ground forces of the seven divisions of the Federation, under the cover of the fleet at any cost, accelerated their retreat to the south, and after seeing those milky white pillars of light, the suspicion and anger that were heating up in the barracks suddenly dissipated.

The officers and soldiers still didn't know the real reason for the sudden retreat, but seeing that the Federation had actually used so much more crystal ore energy quota and launched a cluster space attack that had not been seen for many years, they knew very well that things must be tense to a certain extent.

Three days later, the evacuation organized by the entire Federation was finally successful, and all the ground forces withdrew to four military airports in the southern hemisphere, and then were carried back into space by countless military and civilian space ships urgently requisitioned by the government.

Only a few special forces and researchers remained on the surface, and they were responsible for monitoring everything that was happening on the planet, silently observing the end of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, and Xu Le also stayed.
