Bakhmut here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the opposite Russian Federation mercenary group was using the broken walls to engage in fire with the Free Star Cluster Federation troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The location of the fire between the two sides was an abandoned factory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking down from the high-altitude perspective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those mercenaries wearing mixed uniforms and without heavy firepower cover were gathered at a collapsed wall gap, waiting for orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as the personnel arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader of the mercenaries waved his hand, and a group of mercenaries quickly scattered out of the wall gap, covering each other and leaping forward, rushing towards the opposite side in a state of charging without fear of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrounding the five-story building guarded by the Free Star Cluster Federation soldiers in front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire between the two sides was extremely fierce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can be seen that the mercenary organization named 'Wagner' on the Russian Federation side had people falling on the road of charging every second, but no one retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They relied on the accumulation of numbers to advance to the bottom of the five-story building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officers of the Free Star Cluster special warfare brigade who had just come in gasped:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiss—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These guys, are they not afraid of death?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are these people brainwashed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A bit outrageous, completely using lives to pile up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other officers discussed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at those mercenaries who were not afraid of death, everyone was a bit puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because according to their understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mercenaries must be for money, since they are for money, they must be more precious of their lives than professionals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, these mercenaries actually filled the front line with their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When did mercenaries become so selfless?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Chief of Staff Carlson flipped through the comment section on the side of the plot live broadcast, the discussion records of officers from other units, and soon Carlson said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those mercenaries are not ordinary mercenaries.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others were a bit confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are there special mercenaries?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carlson looked at the discussion records in the comment section and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The members of the mercenary organization on the Russian Federation side are all fierce criminals selected from various local prisons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to normal laws, they would be locked up until they die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if they are trained a little and participate in front-line combat, as long as they hold on for half a year, they can be released without guilt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other Free Star Cluster officers in the conference room were a bit confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can it still be like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But some people found something wrong:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's not right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chief of Staff, according to this, these people should be more afraid of death, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, if they persist for half a year, they will be released.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carlson shook his head, looking at the fierce battle in the picture:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think that according to this intensity, how many can live for half a year?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And do you really think the Russian Federation has no preparations?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If these criminals don't execute orders, but are afraid of death, then the end waiting for them will be even more cruel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So even if an order is given here, let them charge without weapons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These criminals dare not resist at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This situation is too difficult.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end, Carlson looked at the surrounded Free Star Cluster squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the charge of the opposite mercenary group without fear of death, this five-story building had already been surrounded, and the death of the squad inside was just a matter of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Russian Federation is too ruthless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the lives of criminals to exchange for the regular army here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key is that the regular army hurts when they die, but most of the people in the mercenary group here are criminals brought in, who are supposed to die, so it doesn't matter if they die or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They don't feel sorry at all, and even use this kind of human wave tactic of not being afraid of sacrifice to continuously compress the survival space of the Free Star Cluster Federation soldiers in Bakhmut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carlson pondered for a while, his brows furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This method is really shameless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it is also really unsolvable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The troops of the Free Star Cluster Federation here now replace the identity of the Ukraine Federation soldiers, but according to the tactics on the Blue Star side, there is no way to deal with this consumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opposite side is not afraid of consumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are all criminals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it bluntly, if there was no war, these criminals would be locked up until they died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It belongs to the kind that wastes air even if they are alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now pulling them out to consume, even if it takes a hundred criminals to exchange for the occupation of a house, it is worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because those criminals have no value themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using those valueless things to exchange for houses with strategic significance is simply a no-cost business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And among these criminals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One can imagine how serious the crime is if they can be sentenced to life imprisonment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them are thugs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A regular soldier of the Free Star Cluster might not be at a disadvantage when facing two or three thugs, but if a group of thugs on the opposite side pushes over without fear of death, it's useless if the number of people is small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even if there are many people, fighting with them is a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is obvious which side loses by exchanging the lives of a group of thugs for a group of regular troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle in the plot continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carlson slid the perspective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Free Star Cluster Federation troops on the edge of Bakhmut and the mercenary group on the opposite side had already reached the white-hot stage, almost everywhere was engaging in fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the 'human wave' tactic on the opposite side was also playing a role.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldiers of the mercenary group popped out from everywhere, the formation had no tactical discipline at all,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there were so many that the Free Star Cluster Federation soldiers could not take care of every battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A little carelessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would be sniped by mercenaries popping out from the corners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the fourth floor of a building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Free Star Cluster soldier who was scanning the opposite mercenaries with a heavy machine gun suddenly stumbled, the heavy machine gun in his hand stopped firing instantly, Carlson looked at the sound of the gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mercenary hiding under the building didn't know when he aimed at the machine gunner just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One shot to the head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such situations were everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching, the Free Star Cluster special warfare brigade officers in the conference room also became heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These mercenary group soldiers are too ruthless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every charge, the casualty rate is at least a quarter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon someone would supplement from the rear, and the attack was not left with intervals, the pressure brought by this oppressive tactic to the Free Star Cluster Federation soldiers can be imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what the Free Star Cluster Federation high-level saw outside was the ruthlessness of this move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would care about the lives of these prisoners?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their appearance here has already exerted the greatest tactical value, that is, using the lives of a group of death row prisoners to consume and fight against the regular troops of the Ukraine Federation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And under such consumption regardless of cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The edge of Bakhmut has been gradually controlled by the troops on the Russian Federation side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect has already appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ukraine Federation is gradually losing this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miles, the Mobile Corps Commander of the 3rd Armored Brigade of the Free Star Cluster Federation's A Group Army, is commanding the remaining soldiers,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conducting the battle to defend the suburbs of Bakhmut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The original 2,000-man armored brigade, after more than half a month of fire, only had less than 300 people left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miles was leading people at this time, guarding an area that was only left with bridge piers after being blown up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally there was a railway here, but with the shelling on the Russian side, the railway was also blown up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fighting to this extent, what kind of transportation hub is it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything that could be blown up was blown up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Capturing this place now is no longer a strategic significance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But both sides don't want to lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they have already consumed so much, if they don't fight at this time, then the previous consumption would be in vain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miles suddenly heard some sound, and then suddenly shouted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cover!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the first to find a pit and hide in it, then pulled over a few wooden boards to block it on top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Artillery shells fell densely with tearing whistling sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precisely covering the buildings in the defense area on Miles' side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom boom boom boom—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Limbs and building ruins spread and collapsed in the violent shock wave, smashing everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second round, the third round...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The salvo of artillery shells followed one after another, smashing on the entire position like a rainstorm, those who were unlucky were directly torn apart by the shells, just this wave of artillery fire washing the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It beat the remaining 300-plus people of the Free Star Cluster Federation 3rd Armored Brigade to only 200-plus people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The artillery fire just stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miles, the Mobile Corps Commander of the 3rd Armored Brigade, inspected and integrated the remaining personnel, abandoned this place, and transferred to the rear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mercenary group on the opposite side had already killed over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they don't withdraw, they will all die here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a day later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These remaining soldiers of the 3rd Armored Brigade retreated to an open area, and there was a Ukraine Federation NPC squad here, but there was no communication between the two sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were only six or seven people on that side, looking quite guarded against them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Free Star Cluster soldiers, looking at the distant Ukraine Federation NPCs, some were holding phones, seemingly calling their families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Got up and wanted to go over to stop them, after all, this would expose the target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as soon as he got up, he was stopped by Mobile Corps Commander Miles:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fighting to this extent, death is a matter of time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not to mention it's just a group of NPCs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Free Star Cluster Federation soldiers didn't say anything either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was they who were too invested, this is a training plot, a few NPCs, fight if you want, anyway, fighting until now, they have no hope of winning, let it be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just don't know if they can kill a few more mercenary NPCs on the opposite side before dying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fighting to this extent, the Ukraine Federation side cannot issue an order to withdraw, their only ending is to be consumed here, but it's just a day earlier or later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just looking at those two Ukraine Federation NPCs calling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Free Star Cluster soldier couldn't help but whisper:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do NPCs have mothers too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Plot designed by Polar Star on purpose?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier next to him looked at the distant Ukraine Federation soldiers and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No matter what, it's the human world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if it's an NPC setting, there will be fathers and mothers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't it normal to call home?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Death is imminent, can't you think about mom?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The universe is so big.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe such a thing is happening somewhere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier next to him shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is it possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"'Earth' is fictional, if there really is such a world, what a coincidence of probability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To be able to give birth to a place called 'Earth', and the humans on it are developing the same as the plot in the game.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others thought it was the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it's just a game plot, don't take it too seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Free Star Cluster Federation soldier who asked the most, looked at the distant Ukraine Federation soldiers, propped his chin and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If all this is true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are about to die in battle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who would you want to call?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Free Star Cluster soldier next to him thought for a while and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Probably my mom too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I'm not sure if I will cry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the distant Ukraine Federation soldiers, don't know who they are calling, but they have been looking up, obviously not wanting to let tears flow out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Made everyone's heart tremble slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others also started to say one after another:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Probably my sister, if it really comes to the time of death, I definitely wouldn't dare to call my dad and mom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Probably my dad, because I can't let my mom be sad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You kid, then you let your dad be sad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way, I'm an only child, not mom then dad, my dad's
