Apocalyptic Dark Age

The peak rest period was not long. Even if he slept, his subconscious mind was still engaged in desperate killings. The arrival of reinforcements did not change the battlefield situation. The insect troops were still strong. The alliance was still suffering from internal fighting, but he did not have more reinforcements.

This is why Gao Feng saw insects sweeping through the solar system in his dream. If he failed in the war, everything in the dream would probably happen in reality, such as the huge number of insect swarms, the mentally retarded Alliance Council, and the inefficient alliance. The army, as well as various stupid accidents, made Gao Feng lose direction in the goal of continuing to fight, and he once had the idea of ​​​​withdrawing. If it were not for his instinct as a soldier and his inertia and rationality, he would definitely do so. The survival of the alliance depends on him. It really doesn't matter.

The negotiator of the alliance garrison waited for a long time. He was in an awkward position because neither the vermin army nor the reinforcements treated him well, and he had no way to prove his sincerity. After all, a misunderstanding had occurred, and tens of thousands of Iron Tribe warriors Death on the battlefield, all of this cannot be explained in a few words.

After thinking for a while, Gao Feng decided to meet with the representative. The creature wearing the uniform of a high-ranking alliance officer always kept a low profile and did not even hide his fear of Gao Feng. This was normal. The pest army had been fighting the bugs at the forefront alone for more than a week. Over a period of time, Gao Feng personally took action no less than a hundred times, and it was easy to deduce Gao Feng's terrifying strength.

"We deeply regret the previous misunderstanding and are willing to do our best to make up for the mistakes we made..."

The representative's attitude was very low, without any excuses, and he admitted that everything was their fault, but that was not what Gao Feng wanted to hear.

"Have you received the alliance authentication information?"

Gao Feng said that the alliance directly granted the highest authority to request him to support the final line of defense. The problem was that the defenders did not recognize it, which led to the misunderstanding. Gao Feng also mistakenly believed that even without the assistance of the defenders, they could support the arrival of follow-up reinforcements. The truth is that he overestimated himself, which was one of the reasons why the Pest Legion suffered heavy losses.

"Well, we don't know which alliance you represent? Two alliances gave us orders at the same time, but there was no support. Even the communication ships sent were attacked from behind, so we feel betrayed..."

Gao Feng was taken aback by the other party's explanation. Fighting on a desperate defense line, death was as frequent as breathing. In this situation, information from the rear was cut off, and even the ships calling for help were destroyed. The first thing that came to mind was abandonment and betrayal.

"I didn't want to pursue it in the past, but do you have any conclusions about what to do in the future?"

When Gao Feng said these words, the other party knew Gao Feng's intentions. Although they were reluctant, at this time, they could not refuse. No matter which force Gao Feng represented, at least it had a powerful army and combat power beyond recognition, and Now that the final line of defense is in danger, no hope can be given up. Once Gao Feng leads his troops to leave, they will kill themselves because of their stupidity and short-sightedness.

"We can surrender to you and hand over everything, but we have the right to know where you will take us..."

The word surrender has different interpretations in different places. In the minds of the Allied forces, surrender is not a derogatory term, but a comment on giving up responsibility. Giving up the right to the final line of defense means that they do not need to bear joint and several liability after the line of defense is lost. .

Gao Feng was a little unaccustomed to the other party's frankness. He also prepared some words and benefits to talk about. He didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward. He hesitated for a few seconds and nodded:

"I can't guarantee anything, but I won't lead you into conflicts within the alliance. From beginning to end, my enemies are only bugs..."

Insects are the common enemy between Gao Feng and the alliance defenders. They have a common enemy. Naturally, everything else is no longer a problem. The alliance defenders simply handed over their defense lines and supplies and accepted Gao Feng's reorganization.

The remaining supplies of the alliance defenders were unexpected. Maybe there was not much energy and ammunition left, but there was an outrageous amount of other equipment and supplies. A large part of them turned out to be living and entertainment facilities, including various luxuries. It was too Many things that have nothing to do with the battlefield are piled up in the garrison warehouse.

Food and medical care far exceed the needs of the battle. According to the statistics and estimates of the logistics manager, Momo, it can provide at least one million for the fleet for three years. However, relatively speaking, the large amount of non-combat supplies has affected the accumulation of combat supplies. , according to the display of the material receiving holographic file, the carrying capacity of combat materials is less than one-tenth of the non-combat materials.

Momo expressed her surprise to Gao Feng when she saw the supply list. For a defense line in the fiercest battlefield, 90% of the warehouses were supplies that had nothing to do with the battle, while the things that were really needed were left behind due to the tight transportation capacity. , only exists on the waiting list of holographic files.

In addition to these, what is amazing is that the final defense line should have a complete fleet to assist in operations. In addition, there should be more than a thousand triple starry sky cannons. These are not seen. The tens of thousands of warships that previously supported the battlefield, It turned out to be the escort fleet of the transport fleet. Its main responsibility was to ensure the safety of the transport routes. It was only because of the sudden change in the alliance that it had to stay at the final line of defense.

If the disappearance of millions of battleships and starry sky cannons that should have existed is a huge mistake, then the thinness of the defenders is unforgivable stupidity. In the plan for the final defense line, the final defense line should have tens of thousands of powerful destructors and millions of silver hearts. The strong ones also have 300 million professional officers and soldiers.

When the bugs officially launched their attack on the final line of defense, there were less than a thousand members of the Destruction Seeds, and there were only more than three million strong people in the Silver Heart. However, all the 300 million professional officers and soldiers arrived. Only the officers and soldiers arrived, and the huge officer corps did not come together. arrived, but the commander-in-chief who was supposed to be commanding the final line of defense was not at the line of defense. In fact, no one knew where he was? From the moment the final line of defense explodes into battle, both the final line and the alliance are looking for a line commander.

Due to various reasons, the final line of defense was as fragile as paper. Soon after the bug launched its attack, one-fifth of the position was lost. However, after experiencing the initial disorder and panic, the remaining mid-level and low-level officers spontaneously formed a joint operation. Department, unite armies from various systems, divide combat defense areas, and strictly require the ratio of guard time to casualties, and evacuate them all in advance. Only then can they persist until the peak arrives.

This is why they ignore and even hate the alliance's orders, but they are not blindly hateful. Gao Feng convinced them with his own strength and record. Otherwise, he would not have sent a fleet at the last moment to exhaust the remaining energy and long-range firepower. Support, and their support is of great benefit to the battle situation. At least at the critical moment, it allows the pest army to breathe a sigh of relief. Otherwise, the losses may increase several times.

After fully understanding the truth about the final line of defense, Gao Feng once suspected that there was an undercover bug at the top of the alliance, otherwise he would never have committed suicide like this. This was not a war, and this was clearly sending the alliance to the guillotine.

But when Gao Feng asked the remaining officers of the Joint Operations Department, he learned that the alliance's habits have always been like this. The alliance's senior leaders have solidified their rights. Many members' seats are not externally elected, but are passed down internally. Therefore, the alliance's rights are also regarded as family industries by the members.

Although it is the most urgent state of war, the habits that have lasted for thousands of years are not easy to change. Just like the distribution of materials, they are still allocated according to the usual military garrison. That is to ensure the life and comfort of the soldiers first, and then consider fighting. As a result Warehouses are filled with all kinds of living supplies, and urgently needed equipment and ammunition have to be transported at the back. When an accident occurs and logistics is cut off, the front line will be in tragedy.

The collective disappearance of the top commanding officers is another way of saying that the commander assigned to the final defense line is not a peaceful guy. He is impatient with waiting for the bugs to attack on the defense line, and the alliance has been in a good situation to counterattack the bugs before. Therefore, With some officers, he boarded a certain fleet and went to the front to win military glory. When the front line was completely defeated, he was on the missing list.

The commander's disappearance before the war may not be a big problem on Earth. Just replace the commander. However, it is not feasible in the Alliance. Because of the solidification of rights, the commander cannot be appointed by the senior council, and can only be responsible for this. A small group of people will be formed to decide on the candidates.

Selection within a small group is also very difficult, because the previous commander's family did not allow it. The commander just disappeared, not died. There is no proof that he was still the highest officer of the final line of defense before his death. If he is replaced by someone from his family, their tradition All profits will be lost, and at the same time, you cannot have any control over frontline materials. Whether it is the right to increase the price of procurement or the cost of transportation, it will flow into other people's pockets. This is never allowed.

But when the bugs attacked, the commander's popularity plummeted, and the previously highly sought-after position became a hot yam. After competing with each other to no avail, the commander was directly handed back to the Alliance Council to select personnel.

Just when the alliance's top brass was about to appoint a new commander, Ankeya came back with the defeated army ready to overthrow the alliance. In this way, the new commander who was originally used to block the bullet holes would have enough excuses to stay behind. Participate in the battle to suppress the rebels. At least, facing the rebels is less stressful than facing the bugs.

After Gao Feng understood the cause and effect clearly, he did not say a word. This is the advancement of the parliamentary system. In other words, the parliamentary system itself is not a system established for war. It suppresses the strong as much as possible and allows all changes to occur. It was wiped out in the quarrel, and finally remained stable for countless thousands of years.

In fact, the officer who stated these facts to Gao Feng also spoke in a tone he was accustomed to, and could not even hear any anger. This was because this was so normal, and so normal that he was already despairing, so for the defenders, no matter what Neither the alliance nor the rebels under the banner of revenge are good things. The purpose of their insistence is not for the alliance or anything else. They just know that even if they retreat or escape, there is nowhere to go, otherwise they will be killed by insects from behind. In the void, it is better to fight to the end, at least before death, there is no need to think too much.

"We still have about six hundred species of destruction that can participate in the battle. Of course, you can't expect more. These guys were also deceived by the parliament...

There are about 4 million Star Warriors, of which 1.5 million are wounded. If a detailed inventory is carried out, it is possible to find 1 million who have recovered. However, they all crawled out from the pile of corpses and are likely to fight back...

Finally, there are ordinary soldiers and logistics personnel. Their number is about 170 million. Including fleet personnel, the total number is 200 million. Although they are the largest in number, their actual combat effectiveness is the weakest and can be excluded from combat effectiveness... . "

The representative of the Joint Operations Department named Alex stopped talking after describing the current situation of the final defense line to Gao Feng. The huge circular conference hall was filled with hundreds of officers from the Joint Command and all the senior officials of the Wilderness Fleet. This number of people , appearing sparse in a large conference hall that can accommodate tens of thousands of creatures, vaguely showing a different kind of decadence.

Whether it is the defenders or Gao Feng's direct subordinates, there is a certain degree of similarity, that is, the despair of holding the final line of defense, because they cannot find a way to persist until the alliance solves the internal problem under the siege of hundreds of times of insects. problem, thereby getting real reinforcements.

Not only are the people below confused about the future, but even Gao Feng himself is unsure as to why he continues to hold on. Now he lacks everything but food and drink. Bugs will not stop attacking just because the light cannon has no energy. .

"Now, let's discuss the next step of defense plan..."

Gao Feng focused everyone's attention on himself, then turned his head and looked at Alex. This officer who was most familiar with the defense line had been appointed by Gao Feng as the commander of the defenders, intending to distinguish the original defenders from the wilderness fleet cluster. Come on.

"Commander Alex, please inform me of the original battle plan..."
