C17 Rest

The first to suffer was the group of grenade launchers on the mountain next to them. The tunnel was facing the mountain where the grenade launchers were located, and the intense electromagnetic pulse washed away all the communication and electronic equipment on the mountain.

Immediately after that, a high-temperature light radiated from the explosion and spread across the mountain. Tens of thousands of people were instantly scorched by the high temperature, and the grenade launchers were even melted due to the high temperature. Finally, it was the compressed shockwave from the tunnel that turned the grenade launchers into scrap metal.

All the trees within a radius of ten kilometers were uprooted, and the people within a radius of forty kilometers were blinded and deafened.

Lu Gang and the others who were hiding in the pits were not spared. The high-powered goggles of their tactical helmets were shattered, and the eleven people who were hit by the shockwave felt dizzy.

The shockwave also spread to the encampment of the Empire's army. Fortunately, they were already at the end of their tether. The powerful shockwave sent many soldiers flying more than ten meters away, and the encampment was also in a mess.

The ammunition storage warehouse of the Kaka was completely destroyed. The super explosion not only leveled the mountain, but the rocks on the ground had also crystallized into glass. The core of the explosion was 20 kilometers away, and not a single blade of grass grew within that range. The high-temperature explosion and combustion had drained all the oxygen in the area, and even the ordinary humans who were hiding in the bunker died from the lack of oxygen for more than ten minutes.

The 11 people hiding in the deep pit were really lucky. They were lucky enough to avoid the shock wave that had weakened multiple times, and they were also lucky enough to avoid the radiation from the light. In the end, they fainted due to the lack of oxygen. Since they were far away from the explosion, and the few of them were humans who had evolved once, they were barely able to endure the lack of oxygen for ten minutes.

"Is this idiot going to blow up the Kaka's nuclear arsenal?" The fifth brother muttered to himself.

The electromagnetic waves caused by the explosion caused all the electronic equipment in the area to lose their functionality. When the oxygen in the explosion area recovered, the members who were sent to assess the battlefield discovered Lu Gang and the others in the deep pit. The 11 heroes were carried back to the landing point and sent directly to the two medical landing ships that were following the special division to land. Lu Gang and the other 11 heroes were happily stripped of their clothes and thrown into the life-support pods.

Two days later, Lu Gang was discharged. According to reliable news, he had made a great contribution this time. The military considered granting him a first-class gold medal, and his rank was promoted to a first lieutenant.

The other elite members who participated in this operation were also given a third-class iron sword medal, and their military ranks were also raised accordingly.

The casualties of the first wave of landing were calculated. There were a total of 229 assault boats, 12 Starry Sky Combat Jets, 1,010 light armors, 50 plus military officers, 1,000 plus sergeants, and 8,000 plus soldiers. There were a total of 37,000 casualties, 9,000 missing, including 24 excellent pilots of the Sky Force.

Half of the third-place division, which had a total of 102,000 people, had been killed.

Woo Chenggang, who had received the news, immediately went to the information room in the central computer to analyze the entire incident in detail. In his fury, he took a flying ship to the command post of the second battlefield. In front of everyone's fearful eyes, he killed the middle-aged officer, Nelson, with a single shot.

Woo Chenggang gave the command of killing to all the soldiers of the Marine Corps.

One, kill anyone who disobeys the orders, two, kill anyone who delays the battle, three, kill anyone who neglects duty, and four, kill anyone who is afraid of the enemy.

After the four words were announced, the morale of the Marine Corps was instantly boosted. From top to bottom, they became more cautious and did not dare to be careless.

After killing Nelson, Woo Chenggang said to the people present, "If you see me, Woo Chenggang, being afraid of the enemy like a tiger, you can kill me if you are at a loss!" After saying that, he left.

This matter was widely discussed in the army and even in the court. In an instant, it caused a great debate.

The cause and effect eventually reached the ears of the emperor of the Black Dragon Empire. The emperor, who was in the heart of the empire, wrote a royal decree: Good! Good! Good! Woo Chenggang is truly my general, the pillar of the army!

In an instant, Woo Chenggang's name became famous, and he became the representative of the younger generation. The voices of objections disappeared, and the words of praise filled the sky and covered the earth.

Woo Chenggang's Four Killing Orders became the targets of everyone. Later on, the various armies also gave out Seven Killing Orders, Eight Killing Orders, and so on. The facts proved that it had a good effect.

The situation at the second battlefield was extremely good. The busy barracks, neatly arranged barracks, and large numbers of light and medium sized mechs appeared in the base.

Very quickly, a metal ground command post was erected at the location of the assault boat.

The sky synchronous satellite had also started to operate, and more than 50 Sky Force fighter aircrafts had arrived. There were 6,800 light and medium sized mechs, 2,000 medium sized mechs, and the strength of the Empire's technology was revealed.

The arrival of the special forces and the special army also sped up the construction speed of the base. Their strength was also incomparable to before. All kinds of supply ships continuously flew down from the sky.

The Level Three Major General Bakis had recovered from his injuries and returned to the army. He was the commander of the frontlines on the ground battlefield, and the deputy commander was Colonel Michael of the special army.

The fifth brother was commanding well in the face of danger. He was able to command the troops well and directly promoted to Major General.

Currently, the frontline of the Empire's army had expanded by more than 200 kilometers. The Kaka forces were in a standoff with each other. As the number of troops increased, the strategic depth of each side also increased.

On land, the mother ship's central computer gave the number of casualties of the Kaka army to 480,000. The ratio of 1 to 10 was very unsatisfying for the higher-ups of the Empire. Since the fact that the Yboif Empire's army had appeared in the Kaka army, no one was going to investigate the serious casualties this time.

The Empire's forces had suffered repeated setbacks in the first battlefield.

The fact that the Kaka army had produced a mecha from the Yboif Empire had become a haze that enveloped Guthrie's heart.

The second battlefield had greatly restricted the enemy. After the higher-ups had deduced that the second battlefield would stop attacking and turn into a defensive position, they decided to launch an attack at the right time to attract more enemy troops.

The arrival of the special forces had allowed the scouts to find their home. When the six brothers who had received the order to gather met up, they all held back their laughter. There was no other reason than that they had not only received a medal but also a promotion.

Other than Lu Gang and the retarded official who had both been promoted by two levels, the other brothers had all been promoted by one level. The lowest official was the second brother, Yin Man, who was now a second lieutenant.

"Damn it, doesn't that mean that I have to call you sir when I see you? Don't let me catch the opportunity to kill a big shot. Why don't you promote me to a major general?" Yin Man pretended to be angry.

"You little brat, you should be happy. This time, the three of us went to save the commander. We almost lost our lives. You brat, you just laid on the mountain to watch the fun. The wind and rain can't find you, and you won't be promoted even if you sleep for a while." Ma Zi scolded him.

"Alright, everyone's performance is very good, especially the sixth brother and the fifth brother. I'm lucky to have recruited such outstanding subordinates. I'm very pleased!"

"Cough, cough!" A coughing sound came from the door. Behind Sun Liansheng was Colonel Michael, who walked in with great strides. He was accompanied by several officials in civilian uniforms.

Finally, a middle-aged man wearing a traditional white gown walked into the room. He seemed to be taking a stroll in the park. However, the majesty he exuded was enough to make anyone's heart skip a beat.

The man in the white gown had a smile on his face. He was extremely handsome. From the respectful attitude of the crowd and the noble temperament of the man in the white gown, it was obvious that he had a special background.

When the crowd saw the arrival of the officer, they all stood straight and saluted him. "Greetings, sir!"

When the fifth brother saw the man in the white gown, he was a little nervous and took a step back. He accidentally stepped behind Lu Gang.

"You are all very good. You are the pride of the Empire! Not only did you complete the original plan, but you also completed the mission beyond expectations. These few people are here to present the Emperor with the honor." Sun Liansheng introduced.

"Greetings, my lords!" The crowd bowed.

An official in civilian attire said, "All of you are heroes who have bathed in blood. There is no need to be so polite. The military awards have nothing to do with us local officials. We were able to come here today because of the decree of His Majesty." The few officials accompanying the official immediately cupped their fists and bowed.

Sun Liansheng and Michael looked at each other, confused. However, they had no choice but to turn around and face the official. They knelt on one knee and placed their hands on their knees. They bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I await your orders!"

When the team members saw their superior kneeling, they followed suit. They knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, I await Your Majesty's orders!" The fifth brother stood behind the others and looked at the man in white with anger. The man in white said, "Kerry Hall, Major Kerry is the genius of the military strategy of the empire. He is worthy of the honor of a civil servant. Also, that Lu Gang doesn't need to kneel."

Under the crowd's surprised expressions, Lu Gang stood up as well. He looked at the fifth brother behind him, scratched his head, and bowed to the tip of his feet.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers of the East Army have bathed in blood on the battlefield. They have contributed greatly to the expansion of the empire's territory. Kerry. Baram has been ordered to lead the army in times of danger. He is brave and wise. He is able to command the army well. He is worthy of being the pillar of the empire. He is awarded the second level of the Kingdom Protecting Medal as a reward. Lu Gang is brave and good at fighting. He has broken through the enemy's strongholds. He is also a valiant general of the empire. He is awarded the second rank of the Knight Medal." After the civil servant read out the decree, someone beside him stepped forward and gave the two of them a bright medal.

After that, there was another long paragraph of encouragement. Then, he gave the other three people the third rank of the Warrior Medal. Everyone was confused.

Sun Liansheng and Michael were also baffled. The military award ceremony was held in the General Assembly or the Major General Assembly. A civil official would travel hundreds of thousands of miles to the army to give a few people a military award. What was going on?

When the two of them heard the fifth brother's full name, they looked at each other in horror.

This Major General Kerry was not only a noble, but also a member of the royal family. This was a big problem. It was definitely not something that a military officer like them could interfere with.

"Country Guarding Medal? And it's even a second rank!" Sun Liansheng cursed in his heart. "The royal family sure knows how to play. Isn't the Country Guarding Medal only given to civil officials? Why would they give such a medal to the army? In any case, the country belongs to your family. You can play however you want!"

Michael was also puzzled. "The royal family is right. You are powerful, but we can't afford to offend you. However, Lu Gang is a purebred commoner. Why would he be given a second rank knight medal? And there are also the Warrior Medallions of Lande and the others? Shouldn't these medallions be given to aristocrats?"
