Idle game leads to another world

The flames of war had been extinguished, but the smoke had not yet dissipated. The stench of death drifted into the sky and into everyone's nose. It was clearly the time for the sun to rise, but the sunlight reflected blood in the clouds.

On the battlefield that gradually returned to silence, short gunshots would still be heard from time to time, but this could no longer attract anyone's attention, regardless of whether the gunshots were used to finish off the seriously injured enemy or to kill prisoners.

The Swirlwater Federation won the battle for the position in front of the control center, but the casualties were not small.

About 17,000 people were killed or wounded, 5,300 were missing, 13 assault landing ships were destroyed, and nearly 100 tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed.

The result of the battle was that about 30,000 enemies were annihilated, 11,000 enemy soldiers were captured, and more than 1,300 light and heavy artillery of various types were confiscated. The retreating armored forces were bombarded by the orbit of the Swirlwater Federation, and only a small number of sporadic armored vehicles were evacuated.

The flight unit retreated quickly enough, but the nearest airport was also razed to the ground by orbital bombing. There should be a secret airport of the Red Maple Republic on this planet, but if the pilots retreated there, it would be equivalent to helping the orbital bombing guide the target.

So many pilots chose to parachute, abandon their vehicles and return to the base to ensure that the secret airport would not be defeated, so as to prepare for continued combat.

Yes, the counterattack will definitely come, and it is likely to come faster than expected, but the Rotating Water Federation has completed its combat objectives and captured the control center of the star gate.

At present, some infantry are still fighting to clear the enemy inside the control center, but they are mainly shouting to let them surrender voluntarily. The battle has basically ended since it lasted to this point.

Most of them are recruits, and they may have shot and killed people for the first time in their lives here.

Some people are excited and cheering for victory, while others are dejected. Although they have won the battle, they walk aimlessly between the trenches and pick up the bones of their comrades.

The assault landing ship was still patrolling the air nearby to prevent the enemy from attacking in the counterattack, while the Swan landed on a large flat grassland three kilometers away from the front line.

The subsequent supply ships and orbital airdrops dropped a large amount of supplies. The Swan's anti-aircraft guns never stopped in this battle, and it was the most powerful firepower support. Of course, this consumption was also very large. The crew and logistics supply personnel are currently carrying supplies on board.

Alyssa sat by a hatch opened on the side of the Swan, swinging her legs and lighting a cigar.

During the war, tobacco had a higher priority than food supply. It could greatly relieve tense nerves. Many non-smokers would become heavy smokers after walking around the battlefield.

Alyssa usually did not smoke. She had been watching battles of all sizes on the starship with her grandfather since she was a child. She thought she had trained herself to be quite thick-skinned.

In fact, if it was a simple fleet decisive battle, Alyssa would not have any mental pressure, but the cruelty of ground combat vividly explained to everyone how terrible the casualties of war after the industrial age are.

Not far from where the Swan landed was the newly established field hospital. The painful groans of the wounded were like magic sounds piercing the brain, which made people feel cold.

Not to mention that Alyssa could see human body remains on the nearby grass as long as she turned her head. Some were just a piece of bone, and some were burned black, and it was impossible to tell what part they were.

Alyssa, who had been working in the recycling business since she was a child, thought she could kill without blinking an eye. However, in fact, no matter how vicious the killer was, he would feel that he was still too simple after walking around the battlefield.

At this time, a shadow blocked the sunlight. Alyssa looked up and saw four shuttles using suspension mode and steel cables to lift the Manta Ray over.

The Manta hit the cliff. It was lucky that it didn't fall down. This also showed that Li Chengxi was really good. The pilot in charge of the lifting said that under the same conditions, they could not complete the forced landing at the lowest cost.

Hall was taken back first and was being examined in the infirmary to see if there were any problems such as concussion and internal bleeding that were easily caused by forced landing.

When the Manta was lifted back and placed on the grass, a large group of mechanics led by Fang Lanyin rushed up and looked and asked.

Alyssa looked at them from a distance. From her expression, she didn't feel optimistic.

The performance of the Manta was top-notch a thousand years ago, but now, its performance is not even as good as the modified civilian shuttle. It's just that Li Chengxi is more comfortable driving this thing, otherwise it should have been replaced and the Manta would have been sent to the museum.

The variable wing was completely broken, the engine on one side was destroyed, and the forced landing caused the fuselage structure to deform. Fortunately, the empty cargo hold behind the Manta Ray played a buffering role, and the liquefied magic power on the Manta Ray was not much at that time, otherwise it would not be surprising that it exploded on the spot during the forced landing.

But judging from Fang Lanyin's words, this thing seems to be repairable, but it will not take off again in a short time.

After the Manta Ray was hoisted back, Sophia and others who were sent to break into the control center also came back in the shuttle.

Alyssa sat by the hatch and waved to the group of people who were getting off the shuttle, indicating that they should go to the infirmary for examination.

Due to the loss of the Manta, Sophia and her team had to fight guerrilla warfare with the remaining Red Republic Army on the mountain after they came out of the control center. Fortunately, the friendly shuttle that landed directly from orbit got rid of the entanglement, found Sophia and her team, and provided close-to-ground fire support. Otherwise, it would be a bit difficult for them to come back intact.

But then again, the battle here is over for the time being, but Alyssa has no idea about the battle situation in the void.

After communicating with the friendly forces in orbit, they said that the main fleet is still entangled with the Red Maple Republic Army, and they don’t know the specific situation.

The battle on the ground is urgent, but it is just icing on the cake. If the fleet loses, everyone on the ground will become a target.

Having said that, Alyssa is still a little worried.

Alyssa chose to join this war that did not belong to her because it was the fastest way to settle accounts with the Red Maple Republic, but after calming down and thinking carefully, she now began to doubt whether her decision was right.

After all, she is responsible for the lives of a ship full of people.

When she was a recycler, Alyssa didn't feel this, because at that time she was basically fighting pirates and her peers, the intensity was very low, and Alyssa was confident that no one could defeat her.

But after joining the war, Alyssa realized how small her ship was on the entire battlefield.

Shaking her head, Alyssa threw away the regret that came out of her heart. Since she had done it, she had to do it to the end. Alyssa was not a person who regretted easily.

This war is still going on, and it will continue until one side surrenders completely.

"Are you free? I have something to tell you."

Her personal terminal issued Li Chengxi's voice, interrupting her thoughts.

Alyssa lazily took a puff of cigar and said casually:

"What do you want? Let's make it clear first, I can't apply for things that are too difficult."

"Nothing else, I just want to inform you that I will join this war."

"Ahem!"

Alyssa was choked and almost couldn't breathe...
