The sad and beautiful firelight dyed half of the sky red, and there were meteors trailing black tail flames falling to the earth everywhere. The towering crater spewed exaggerated magma rain, which was like an apocalyptic scene.

A spaceship flew rapidly at an altitude of 1,200 meters above the ground. In the dim cockpit, the fluorescent light of the electronic screen shone on a man's face.

"Dear Defender No. 004, Priestess requests a call."

"application passed."

A girl with long black hair appeared in the upper right corner of the screen, her face full of anxiety: "Where are you? Why can't my positioning system confirm your location?!"

"I'm in the fourth theater of the planetary ring. It fell two hours ago."

No wonder it's impossible to locate. The equipment in the occupied area is basically out of order. Only the dedicated line of the spacecraft can still be used normally.

The priestess said hastily: "Come back quickly, you need to be in charge of the evacuation work. The guidance and advice of Taiyue Base is to retreat to the near-earth zone and wait for the opportunity to counterattack!"

"It's enough for you to handle such small things as the evacuation. I'm not needed. There are still many soldiers in the planetary ring who are besieged. I want to take them back, that's it."

"you……"

The priestess's expression changed, and just as she spoke, the screen cut off.

The man reached out and put on the helmet on his right hand side, and a deep voice echoed in the cockpit: "After I leave, I will execute the order to return to the near-Earth zone, and the highest authority will be transferred to Taiyue Base."

The intelligent core of the spacecraft asked: "Defender No. 004, what are you going to do?"

"Do what I should do. These beasts attacked my defense area while I was debriefing. I have to make them pay a price."

"Is it just a small price to pay?"

The man was slightly startled and sighed: "I don't like your tone. You have been like this since the age of the earth. Ming Yue Xin, I really don't know how Zhang Taiyue created you."

"I have the right to inquire about the needs of all defenders. The priestess's suggestion is correct. You should return to the near-Earth ring now and wait for the opportunity to counterattack."

"Go back by yourself, the priestess will understand me."

"She loves you."

The man was silent for two seconds: "I know."

Ming Yuexin asked again: "Do you love her?"

"No."

"Really?"

The man reached out and crushed the communication device, preventing Ming Yue Xin's voice from being transmitted into the helmet.

He looked at the words on the screen, all of them urging him to go back.

"If the fourth theater is completely lost, this place will become a giant hotbed, incubating those twisted monsters, and the entire near-Earth ring will be threatened. Do we have to withdraw the population of the near-Earth ring to the planet?"

The man said calmly: "Open the hatch."

The words on the electronic screen were eliminated bit by bit, and finally a line of large words condensed, which asked: "Can we not transfer the highest authority?"

"This spacecraft is not my personal property. It belongs to human beings. Later, Taiyue Base will make a correct judgment, open the hatch and execute the order."

The hatch of the spaceship opened slowly, and the man turned around and left without stopping for a moment.

On the ground filled with fire, you can still see the battlefield where fierce fighting is taking place. As more twisted monsters cross the sky and come to this land, violent fireballs erupt from time to time. This is when soldiers who have no hope of survival detonate bombs and choose to use

Fight fiercely by dying together.

This is a war of invasion, a war of races, with no compromise, no peace, no need for prisoners, and a war of extermination.

Defender No. 004 fell to the ground from a high altitude. He first came to a battlefield where the battle had just ended. Various twisted monsters were devouring flesh and blood, completely unaware of the arrival of anyone.

boom!

A golden light suddenly appeared, turning into a circular pit with a diameter of one kilometer. A large amount of dust rose up, and no monsters survived.

The defender bent down to pick up a nameplate, wiped the blood, and stored it inside the armor.

He looked to the front left. There seemed to be a battle over there. He moved and rushed to the battlefield in an instant. A dozen soldiers armed with chain saws rushed towards an enemy several times their size. This was a suicide charge. They were ready to fight to the death.

preparation.

Two kilometers away, a twisted plant bloomed, and purple energy cannons were fired towards the position. The terrifying power could vaporize all living things regardless of the enemy or friend.

However, when the purple energy cannon was flying in the air, it was suddenly captured and returned on the spot. There was a loud noise that shook the earth, and the entire earth shook violently. The giant flower that could not move made a miserable howl, and in its own way

It was destroyed by cannonballs.

A dense rain of golden light swords fell, piercing all the twisted creatures and killing a large area.

After eliminating the enemies in front of them, the defender landed and looked at a dozen chain saw warriors. Many of them were injured and had even begun to show symptoms of erosion.

Someone looked at him expectantly and asked cautiously: "Sir, defender, have reinforcements arrived?"

"I am the reinforcement, and more reinforcements are on the way."

In other words, he is the only one now.

The surviving chain saw warriors felt sad. Although they were still alive, they had no supplies, no support, and no medicine. The final outcome was death.

"Sir, if you don't mind, we are willing to fight with you."

"You defend where you are, build a line of defense, resist the enemy as much as possible, and fire off flares to remind those who are still alive to move closer. There should be survivors nearby. I will rescue them."

"It's sir, I promise to complete the mission!"

Before leaving, the defender opened the first aid part of the armor and left all three treatment needles.

"Make do with it, and live as long as you can."

"Sir, don't you need it?"

The defender shook his head: "These things are of no use to me."

He turned into golden light again and left, traveling across the land.

A dozen soldiers defended in place. As time went by, more and more soldiers came closer, forming a considerable force. They had certain supplies, a dozen vehicles, two energy cannons, and a defender.

.

"Sir, we have some food and drinking water, but we still lack medicine. The medical soldiers can only use treatment waves for simple treatment. We need reinforcements."

The defender bit into a tube of nutritious meal. This stuff was salty and greasy, and it didn't taste very good. But in the current environment, it was good to have one bite.

"There is no solution for the drug problem for the time being. Let's settle it for now. People with high corrosiveness should not join the battle for the time being and take turns to rest. We will continue to fight here, and I will be with you."

The soldier who came to report the situation didn't say anything. In fact, he had an idea. The defender's light could dispel the erosion. If the officer could help, the difficult situation would be alleviated. But he couldn't say it. If it weren't for this unknown person,

The famous defenders, more than a thousand of them, should have become food for twisted monsters.

A high-intensity battle started two hours later. It was an unequal battle. Facing a wave of twisted monsters, the defense line built by humans was as fragile as paper, and could poke a hole with just a light poke.

But they still survived strong because there was a defender.

In the eyes of the human soldiers, this defender was powerful beyond imagination, with almost unlimited energy. He continuously poured firepower on the twisted monsters, causing huge damage while maintaining the fragile defense line. Although more than a hundred people died, only a few were left.

Everyone below was shocked by his power.

This is definitely a defender with a very high serial number!

"Everyone gather."

A call echoed in the ears of all the living people. They took the initiative to come to the center of the position. Those who could stand stood as hard as they could, and those who could not stand also sat on the ground. Nearly a thousand eyes were focused on the defenders.

Everyone is injured, but the will to fight is high. There is no other choice but to continue fighting.

"Next, I will release light to dispel the erosion in your body, but the consequence of this is that it will attract the elite units of the twisted monsters. There is no light in the planetary ring. Any light will attract their attention.

The sky curtain is riddled with holes and cannot be stopped at all, which means that all of you will die in the subsequent battle."

The scene fell into silence. Not long after, someone shouted loudly: "Sir, please leave first. Don't worry about us! Humanity can live without us, but it cannot live without defenders like you!"

The defender's energy is not unlimited. Releasing light means a large consumption of energy. After so many battles, how much energy does he still have?

Everyone spoke out and begged the defenders to leave immediately. This was an unnecessary battle.

"No, this is my decision. I will fight with you until the last moment. Everyone, in the face of this war, we are all soldiers, and we can all sacrifice to protect our homeland behind us."

He raised his hand, and warm and peaceful light burst out from his palm, shining on the earth that was plunged into darkness, dispelling the erosion in everyone's body.

It is also this light that attracts the twisted monsters lurking in the darkness, and they surround humanity's final defense line in the planetary ring.

The defender gave up attacking with energy and focused on killing monsters with weapons. His movements were fast, and no monster could escape from his hands, but he was only one person. The twisted monster couldn't stop him, but he couldn't stop the tide either.

A twisted monster.

One human being was swallowed up one after another, no matter whether they were new recruits or veterans, warriors or shooters, no one was spared.

"Sir, it's an honor to fight with you. Goodbye!"

The soldier who had communicated with the defenders before pulled the string of the grenade and died together with a ferocious twisted monster, turning into a huge fireball.

They only lived half a day longer.

The fall of the fourth theater is a fact, and only the last battle area is still resisting.

The corpses of the twisted monsters piled up like a mountain, and the figure stood on the top holding the defender's weapon, decapitating the monsters that tried to approach, and the fleshy and dried heads flew off.

A cold consciousness passed over.
