Chapter 616: Chapter 356, Subspace Smuggling Plan
“You all can see, without any need for me to say it, countless imperial warriors are fighting bravely on the battlefield below. Our armored units, after making tremendous sacrifices, have already charged into Fino City, this den of evil. They will continue to assault it until their last breath.”
“This is an offensive filled with despair. Many commanders among them understand that their attack doesn’t carry much significance, that they cannot possibly succeed; yet it is also an offensive brimming with passion and boundless loyalty. Precisely because they know this, their greatness and loyalty are even more pronounced when they offer up their lives amidst blood and fire.”
“And all that they do, they do for us!”
“Every one of you is the elite of the elite, the shining brilliance of humanity. It is precisely for this reason that you must never forget the millions of imperial foundations who have sacrificed themselves in this war. Carry them in your heart, take their will with you, and execute our mission.”
“I have already promised the front-line commanders that the ultimate victory will be ours. Now, I need you to promise me, will victory truly be ours?”
Gu Hang was giving his final address to the troops who were about to participate in the action.”
…
In front of him stood about six hundred, no more than seven hundred people.
The largest contingent was a group of three hundred elite soldiers from the Tenth Brigade. Half of them were equipped with standard Exoskeleton Armor, handpicked from within the brigade. The other half, a special formation of 150 people from the Tenth Brigade—Fang Camp.
What set them apart from other units of the Tenth Brigade was that all of them were equipped with the ‘Servant God-Type’ Feedback-Type Power Armor. Unlike the Demon Hunters’ silver-gray coating, the ‘Fang’ members’ paint job was mainly bright yellow with some orange accents.
The next three contingents each numbered one hundred people.
One hundred Spiritual Energy wielders from the Storm Mage Corps, all equipped with Exoskeletons to assist their movements, their leader, Mrs. Deres, had a Feedback-Type Power Armor painted sky blue.
One hundred Interstellar Warriors from the Phoenix Battle Group also were present.
There were also one hundred Battle Nuns from the Holy Benevolence Lily.

Beyond these six hundred people, there were also twelve ‘Ranger Type’ Knight Mechas and four Warhound-class Titans. The drivers, together, added up to sixty people.
Adding Gu Hang himself, the total number of participants was six hundred sixty-one.”
These people were listening to Mr. Gu’s pre-battle mobilization speech.
Among them, even the veterans were moved by his words. The four century-old veterans from Phoenix were fine; without a word, they fully understood what they had to do. As for the Battle Nuns from Holy Benevolence Lily, many of them had decades of combat experience. On any other battlefield, they might not have been so stirred. But now they were in Korolya, on their own home soil. Seeing so many people, including Korolya people and those who had come from other planets to support them, making huge sacrifices to save this world, they had long been filled with the will to fight; at this moment, that will was further ignited.”
If this applied to them, it was even more so for the new recruits.
Some of the more emotionally expressive warriors even began to shout:
“Victory belongs to us!”
“For The Emperor!”
“For humanity!”
“For Korolya!”
“For humanity!”
The shouts were not uniform; they had never rehearsed such a thing beforehand, but there was no doubt that they expressed their emotions and attitudes.”
Gu Hang showed a smile.
“Then let’s move out!”
…
Gu Hang issued the order to move out.
At this moment, nearly a day had passed since that conversation with Li Kexi.
According to Li Kexi, he could transport the equivalent of thirty divisions into Fino City within an hour.
He did it.
And what he did was even more than that.
Not just thirty armored divisions, they had torn a sufficiently large hole into Fino City and struck multiple gaps from other directions. And after the front-line forces had advanced deep enough, a large number of infantry units also followed suit.
At least twenty infantry masters entered Fino City.
They were already moving with the armored units, so as soon as the opportunity arose, they desperately surged in.
Moreover, their assault was not just limited to the ground.
The initial area they attacked was only the surface of Nest Capital. They dared not dig down, but they were bold enough to strike upwards.
The living Nest Capital had undergone significant changes, and the distributed maps of Nest Capital were not much useful; the armored units found it hard to find a way up. But for the infantry corps, finding the way up was not so difficult.
Currently, over a million human troops had been deployed into the Nest Capital of Fino City.
And they discovered that pushing the front lines into Fino City had another advantage—the Sinister Energy Cannon fire they endured became less. Likewise, they were also less likely to suffer aerial attacks.”
Those heavy cannons were clearly not easy to reposition and fire within the city; although Nest Capital had significantly changed, many areas were still defined, and the circling dragons, as well as the Plague Fly Swarm, couldn’t strike from the air anytime and anywhere.
Of course, disadvantages also existed. Inside the flesh body of Fino City, small but very maliciously placed Sinister Energy Cannons occasionally emerged from a mass of flesh beside them, unleashing sudden attacks on human forces.
