A rebellion that spread across the globe has thrown Croagia into chaos.
Every nest is filled with smoke and war.
The stars were boundless, dark, cold, and dead.
The planet Kroa seems like a cold gray gem floating quietly in the dark universe.
Looking toward the planet's surface, clouds filled the sky, and a towering nesting capital was visible.
The base of the Nestor was like a large disk surrounded by tall metal walls.
The taller the metal building, the higher and denser it gets towards the center.
The name of Nestor is well known.
Kroa has only one orbital Starport, which is connected by a space elevator.
The Starport is also the most important cargo transshipment point on Kroa.
Through starports, planetary governors are able to control interstellar trade in the nesting capitals of Kroa.
A rebellion started by gene stealers has plunged the otherwise prosperous planet of Kroa into the Dark Ages for good.
The world is moving into destruction as the smoke of war envelops all of the nesting capitals.
The nesting capital where the space elevator is located is called Nesting Capital 0 and is the location of the planetary capital.
It was located in the northern part of the Nestor City as if it were a tower to the sky disappearing above the clouds.
Around the base of the orbital elevator, intense gunfire rang out.
A large number of defenses consisting of improvised sandbags are visible at the street entrance leading to the four sides of the rail elevator.
A large number of bald mutants are visible behind the bunker.
They were standing by with laser rifles and automatic rifles.
There were also some heavy logging guns mounted on the bunkers.
At multiple street corners in the north, battles have been fought.
The defending side is the Gene Stealers, while the attacking side is the Planetary Defense Force.
Attack, attack, take the rail elevator, and victory will be ours!
On a wide main road, a company of planetary defenders was attacking.
They followed a Riemann Rustank and charged the main road with bravery.
The engine roared as the massive body of Riemann Rustank drove down the road.
The tracks crushed the ground with a metallic grinding sound.
The Riemann Rustank is one of the most ubiquitous main battle tanks in the Empire.
Massive rollouts have been made from the Star Realm Army down to the planetary defense forces.
It was named after Riemannus, the original body of the Astartes Legion Space Coyote.
The design of this tank is not complicated in comparison.
Although it looks rough, it was designed and built with reliability and versatility in mind.
Enabling it to be deployed not only to the most extreme environments in the galaxy.
Its engines can also run on virtually any combustible fuel.
As a result, the Riemann Rustanks can be seen fighting on every brutal battlefield in the Empire.
The main gun of the Riemann Rustank was a 120mm combat cannon.
At the hatch of the turret, an officer poked out his upper body.
His face was fearless in the face of the rain of bullets coming down the street in front of him.
He roared loudly and angrily, directing his troops to charge.
Bang ...
Riemannus's main guns fired again.
The muzzle of the cannon slammed, and a tongue of fire spewed out.
A stream of fiery red light swept over the street and instantly rushed into the position at the end of the street.
Boom ...
The line at the street corner exploded.
Only a flash of fire was seen, and a mushroom cloud of flames rose up.
Powerful shockwaves mixed with flames swept around.
The line made up of improvised sandbags was lifted straight up into the air.
Along with them were destroyed heavy machine gun fire points.
A large number of mutants had their bodies instantly torn apart, turning the shockwave into a bloody color.
This cannonade left the gateway to the street defenses wide open.
Forward, forward!
Without a block, the officer at the turret hatch gave the order to charge.
The engine roared, and Riemann Rustank's speed shot up instantly.
Behind them, the soldiers bent and ran.
They ran, guns raised and firing, clearing the street corners of any mutants still alive.
Red laser beams flashed through the streets, sweeping across the mutants at the street corners.
Without cover to protect them, the surviving mutants were hit and fell to the ground.
With Riemannus opening the way, the planetary defense forces on the main road managed to break down the defenses at the end of the street.
Attack on both flanks and cover the third and fourth companies!
The fighting wasn't just on the main road.
The Planetary Defense Force chose to attack on multiple fronts, with battles taking place on multiple streets.
The troops that stormed the base area of the rail elevator began to attack the street corners on both flanks.
Under the two-sided attack, the gene stealers showed signs of a rout.
Company Commander, Company Commander, we have word from the rear scouting team that a large number of mutants and purebloods are approaching the orbital elevator!
The report from the tank team's communications officer made Brian blush slightly.
He said in a deep voice: Notify all companies to immediately attack the base area and build a defense line on the spot!
The mutants in the pedestal area were rapidly routed as Bryan led the charge into the pedestal area.
Looking from the sky to the ground, a large number of soldiers poured in from the main road excuse to the north of the pedestal area.
Spread out to the left and right and attack the mutants on the defense line at the next street corner.
Charge, forward, forward!
The planetary defense forces on multiple streets charged.
As with the Planetary Defense Force units on the main road, each Company had at least one Riemann Rustank.
Amidst the intensive gunfire, the Gene Stealers, whose defenses were gaping, collapsed on all fronts.
Multiple street defenses to the north of the Orbital Elevator Base Zone were quickly destroyed.
Thousands of Planetary Defense Force soldiers followed Riemann Rustank into the pedestal area.
Companies 1, 2, and 3 build a defense line on the spot while the rest of the regiment and all companies clear the other directions of the base area of mutants.
At Bryan's command, the forces that had stormed the Orbital Elevator base area began to attack the mutant defenses in other directions.
The rail elevator does not have a large footprint.
It's a disk shape, about a kilometer in diameter.
It's only 1.5 kilometers, counting the surrounding freight plaza.
Soon, the street defenses around the pedestal area were cleared of gene stealers.
Mutants without heavy weapons are no match for the Planetary Defense Force.
A touch of Riemann Rustanck's charge.
Construct a defense line immediately and block all intersections quickly!
In the plaza north of the base area, Brian commanded the companies to set up their defenses at the street corners.
There is no danger at all around the base area.
The soldiers had to rush into the houses along the street to carry out some miscellaneous items piled up at the street entrance as cover.
Even if the mutants rushed to the front of the line, the bunker would stop them slightly.
Soon, a weak line of defense was established at multiple intersections.
A Riemann Rustank was parked in front of each defense line as heavy fire support.
What a hoot ...
Just as the Planetary Defense Force soldiers in the northern plaza of the orbital elevator were nervously fortifying their defenses.
A figure appeared on a tall building to the left of the main northern road.
He stood on the edge of the terrace, observing the situation below.
Stand tall and see far, with a view of the entire pedestal area.
The visitor was none other than Jack.
