When the Astronautical Army's dense and fierce artillery fire rained down on the UED defenders, these elite warriors from the United Earth Government merely smiled coldly, showing disdain for this seemingly ferocious attack.

However, when the UED commanders keenly noticed that the enemy infantry were closely following the barrage, they were startled and instantly realized that the opponent was using an ancient but extremely effective tactic—the creeping barrage!

Faced with this situation, the commanders of the UED smiled slightly, revealing a hint of contempt and mockery.

They quickly issued orders, directing the soldiers to take cover in sturdy bunkers, and then leisurely waited for the enemy's shelling to gradually extend behind UED.

As expected, the enemy's artillery fire began to move towards the rear of the UED defense line. However, surprisingly, only some of the shells reached their intended destination, while the rest continued to bombard the positions held by the UED defenders.

The UED soldiers, who had thought the shelling was not over and that the enemy infantry was still charging, were now safely hiding in their bunkers.

Suddenly, accompanied by a deafening roar and dazzling flashes of light, a group of enemies wielding plasma weapons charged out from the billowing smoke like ghosts.

In an instant, beams of scorching plasma mercilessly pierced through the UED soldier's thick power armor, burning his fragile body to ashes.

In an instant, the entire battlefield was filled with the terrified screams and desperate cries of UED soldiers.

The sporadic firing of Gauss rifles echoed inside the bunker, but this meager resistance was utterly ineffective against the surging enemy forces.

With communication systems temporarily cut off during the intense fighting, the UED's first line of defense was thrown into chaos and panic.

Under the enemy's powerful offensive, this defensive line that had held off countless Zerg is crumbling at an incredible speed.

"Report...!" The adjutant, his face filled with terror and beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, reported to Gerald in a trembling voice, "The automatic weapons on the first line of defense have malfunctioned in large numbers! The enemy has successfully infiltrated our fortifications!"

Upon hearing this news, Gerald's heart sank. He quickly turned his gaze to the tech soldier beside him who was frantically attacking a pile of junk code. His face instantly turned extremely gloomy, as if water could drip from it.

The situation on the battlefield was extremely tense at this time.

The Black Templar's tactical squads moved swiftly along the ground like ghosts, their incendiary guns spitting out deadly streaks of fire as they precisely targeted and killed UED soldiers who attempted to intercept them.

Despite their valiant resistance, the UED soldiers were unable to withstand the fierce onslaught and fell one after another.

Not long after, the frontline UED officers, who had just returned to the front lines and taken over command, were permanently logged off again before they could make any further deployments.

Faced with such a dire situation, Gerald made a decisive decision and abandoned the first line of defense without hesitation. He also ordered the soldiers on the second line of defense to remain highly vigilant at all times and be ready to engage in battle at any time.

In fact, Gerrard had considered withdrawing the soldiers on the first line of defense, but the reality made it impossible for him to give such an order.

At this moment, the enemy's infantry was already locked in a fierce battle with their own troops, and the two sides were locked in a stalemate.

Worse still, enemy armored vehicles have already reached the front lines. If a retreat is ordered rashly at this point, it could trigger a catastrophic rout with unimaginable consequences.

However, just as the 7th Armored Division was about to go to support the first line of defense, it received orders from its superiors. Under his explicit request, this powerful armored force quickly changed its marching route and headed to the second line of defense.

Their arrival undoubtedly gave a shot in the arm to the UED troops holding out here, bringing not only impenetrable armor protection but also fierce artillery support.

At the same time, under General Gerald's decisive and resolute orders, the 11th Armored Division, the 19th Armored Division, and four mechanized infantry divisions also embarked on their journey to the second line of defense without hesitation.

In an instant, a massive torrent of steel surged toward the same goal.

With the addition of these seven elite units, the second line of defense, which was already heavily guarded by ten divisions, is now even stronger.

At this moment, as many as 200,000 UED soldiers have gathered here, standing ready to resist all enemies, including humans.

Clad in advanced power armor and equipped with plasma weapons, Krieg silently reinforced and improved the defensive fortifications ahead.

The newly formed but battle-hardened artillerymen methodically operated various types of vehicles, quickly constructing new artillery positions.

Not far behind the front line, rows of massive and imposing Emperor Venom Blade tanks were parked quietly.

A group of mechanical priests in red robes are performing a solemn ritual to appease the souls of these war behemoths, ensuring they can perform at their maximum effectiveness in battle.

Further afield, the colossal mechs known as "God's Machines" stood like mountains on the battle line, their cold, hard shells reflecting the sunlight and exuding a chilling aura.

UED also dispatched a well-trained Ghost Agents team.

Although these ghosts do not possess the extraordinary power of psychic abilities, their equipment far surpasses that of similar combat units in the Terran Empire.

With this significant advantage, even from several kilometers away, they can still clearly perceive every subtle movement of the enemy; not even the slightest rustling of wind can escape their keen eyes.

These ghosts quickly and skillfully activated their tactical goggles, as if they were extensions of their eyes.

As the eyepiece is activated, the scene before you is instantly and accurately captured and recorded completely.

This valuable information, like key pieces in a puzzle, will become an indispensable reference for UED officers when formulating strategies and decisions.

When the UED generals finally had the chance to witness the detailed report brought back by Ghost about the enemy's frontline situation, an indescribable sense of absurdity welled up within them.

The images displayed on the screen left them speechless—bizarre religious rituals were being carried out in full swing on enemy territory.

Faced with such an unfamiliar and unbelievable scene, the generals were deeply perplexed.

"Have they regressed into primitive humans?" one of the UED generals muttered to himself, his face full of suspicion.

Gerrard, standing to the side, bit his lip tightly, his facial muscles twitching slightly.

He pondered to himself: Was it a mistake to decide to venture into this sector in the first place? At this moment, he began to waver in his once unwavering belief in his choice.
