Hall was happily engaging in combat in his mech when Oakland's voice suddenly appeared in his mind. "Hey, Hall, take it easy! If you kill all those bugs, how are you going to collect their bodies later?"
Hall looked at the insect corpses scattered all over the ground, and realized that he had fought too hard, so he restrained his movements, drew out the Aurora Sword, and began to chop off the insects' heads. Anyway, these insect heads could not be eaten, so there was no need to keep them.
"Oh my God! Commander! Am I dreaming?" The young communications soldier was so shocked that he couldn't speak. These people actually wiped out thousands of insects with just a few hundred mechas.
The officer was stunned, swallowing hard. He could never have imagined the reinforcements would be so powerful! With just a few hundred men, they had accomplished something that tens of thousands of them couldn't. Their strength and speed were astonishing, and they even had elemental emblems he had never seen before.
"Which legion are they from?" the officer asked blankly.
"It's... it's the Second Army!" the young signalman's eyes sparkled. "It's General Williams leading the troops to rescue us!"
"Really? Is it the God of War Williams who came to save us?!" A timid voice came from the underground cave that had been silent for many days. It was a civilian who heard their conversation and mustered up the courage to speak.
They had been trapped here for ten days. Although the warriors had given them most of their food, they were too numerous and the food wouldn't last long. They endured hunger and despair, having remained silent and motionless for days to conserve their energy. Every day they watched brave warriors die one by one, and watched the insects gather in ever-increasing numbers. They had completely lost hope.
However, the arrival of reinforcements changed everything and brought hope to them when they were most desperate.
"Yes! General Williams is here to rescue us!" the officer shouted, not caring about his throat which was about to smoke.
"That's great, that's great!" People's cheers and cries could be heard in the huge cave.
The soldiers who had not slept for many days hugged each other and cried tears of joy.
The chirping of insects became sharper, and a group of huge beetles flew in the sky. These beetles had ugly gray-brown shells with purple spots on the surface. They were the poisonous insects that Auckland had seen before. They could spray high-intensity corrosive liquid through their mouthparts.
At this time, they rushed towards the mecha warriors and sprayed yellow-green corrosive liquid at them.
However, their attacks were blocked by the golden energy shield, and they were smashed to pieces by the warriors' energy cannons. These beetles were full of poison and had no place to eat, so they didn't feel bad about blowing them up.
At this time, a huge starship slowly appeared in the sky, the hatch slowly opened, and tens of thousands of mechas flew out of it, heading towards those hateful bugs.
It turned out that Hall and his team had discovered a large number of Zerg gathering, so they rushed to rescue them. Fortunately, they arrived in time.
They used all kinds of weapons without hesitation, and the battle soon became one-sided. The corpses of insects were already a thick layer on the ground.
A low chirping sound came from the insects, which was obviously a signal to retreat. Among the insects flying in the sky, there were several huge and bulky king insects, flapping their wings, trying to escape from this place.
"Hey, where are you running to?" A black mecha dropped from the sky and kicked the king insects to the ground with a few quick, accurate and fierce kicks.
After the huge king insects landed on the ground, the ground shook several times as if there was an earthquake. They twisted their bodies and tried to get up, but were pierced through the head by the Aurora Sword used by the black mecha.
Without the command of the queen insect, the remaining low-IQ insects could not even escape, but just rushed towards the food based on instinct.
The battle lasted for four or five hours and ended with an overwhelming victory for the Second Army.
"It's okay, you can come out now." Two mechas, one black and one white, landed at the entrance of the cave and spoke to those people who looked very weak.
"It's over? Is it really over?"
"Yes, it's over."
The tears that people had been holding back for many days suddenly burst out. They hugged their heads and cried, as if they wanted to vent all the sadness and despair they had felt before.
Hall and Oakland quietly retreated, leaving space for these people.
"Let's start preparing the food."
In this underground cave, whether it is soldiers or civilians, they all have sunken eyes and sallow faces. They must be tired and hungry. We have to prepare some food for them quickly.
"Yes! Captain!" The mecha warriors cleared a space near the cave, then lit a fire and set up a barbecue grill.
They worked together to cut open each insect's stomach and remove its white "eggs." These white "eggs" were solid nutrients converted by the worker insects after absorbing large amounts of energy. Although the queen insect was enormous, it had no offensive power. The energy it needed to hatch its eggs was provided by the worker insects. Auckland brought these large white eggs back home and had them tested by researchers. They were found to be extremely beneficial to the human body and highly nutritious.
More and more white eggs were collected, piled on the fire and roasted, and soon a fragrant aroma was emitted.
"What is that? Why does it smell so good?"
"It's white and so big."
The hungry people were gradually attracted by the fragrance and swallowed their saliva unconsciously, but did not dare to move forward.
Finally, one child couldn't help but run to the fire. With his big, round eyes, he stared at the food he'd never seen before. He cautiously reached out his hand, but was grabbed. It was Ignaz, a man with short, silver-gray hair. He grabbed the child's wrist and looked down at him. His usually expressionless face, illuminated by the firelight, looked even colder. Just as he was about to say something, the child burst into tears.
Ignatz was immediately at a loss. He just wanted him to be careful about the burn...
"Don't cry, don't cry!" Diana, wearing a neat high ponytail, walked over. She glared at Ignatz, then squatted down and gently comforted the child. "These were originally prepared for you to eat. This big brother is afraid that you will get burned. Please don't cry, okay?"
After being gently comforted by the beautiful Diana, the child finally stopped crying. He looked up at Ignaz timidly. Ignaz pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying, and almost scared the child to tears again.
Diana had no choice but to take a large white egg from the fire, blew into it, and then handed it to the child.
The egg was so big it was bigger than the child's head. The child held the delicious egg in his arms, not knowing where to start eating it. Ignaz took out a small knife, cut off a small piece from the big white egg, and put it to the child's mouth.
The child slowly opened his mouth and accepted what Ignaz fed him. The smooth taste of the food made his eyes shine. He then wolfed it down without Ignaz needing to cut it for him.
Then, a sound of swallowing saliva came from behind them...
When Hall and his men came over dragging a king insect that was forty or fifty times bigger than him, they found a long queue formed here. They were all there to collect the baked big white eggs. They were very quiet, no urging, no pushing. Children and the elderly were given priority in the front, young people in the back, and the garrison at the end.
Hall and his team were somewhat moved by what they saw, and they called on their team members to speed up and clear out another area to roast this huge king insect.
