Chapter 489: Heavenly Sword

The moment the communication connected, Mijia shouted: "Qi Lin Legion!"

"I am the squad leader of the Ninth Legion, Mijia!"

"I am currently near Mars; the previous Leviathan has turned into a Flesh Nest and is constantly hatching bugs!"

"I have 400 First Generation Super Soldiers and 100 Second Generation Super Soldiers with me, and we simply cannot hold on anymore. Three hours ago, I requested reinforcements from Earth!"

"Earth said support would arrive in half an hour, but what about now! Where is the support!"

"Forget about no support! Why has contact with Earth been lost as well! I can only get through by using the legion's internal communication!"

As the words fell, a confused voice came from the other side of the communication channel.

"Huh?"

"Mijia of the Ninth Legion, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"Wasn't the Leviathan dealt with long ago? And how could Earth be unreachable? We just finished communicating with the people stationed in Big Apple Province over there."

Hearing these words from the Qi Lin Legion soldier, Mijia frowned deeply.

"Who is spouting nonsense!"

"The bugs are already at our doorstep, and you are actually saying everything has been resolved!"

"Are you all crazy! Or are the people of the Qi Lin Legion all idiots! They are at our doorstep, yet you act as if nothing has happened!"

"If I hadn't discarded 400 sets of Second Generation Power Armor and Power Swords in time, there would have already been casualties by now!"

After Mijia finished speaking, the communication channel fell into silence.

About three seconds later, a hurried voice rang out.

"Oh no, Mijia, something has happened to Earth! Please hold on a little longer, support will arrive very soon!"

Having said that, the Qi Lin Legion soldier did not give Mijia a chance to speak and hung up the call directly.

This made Mijia unable to help but curse angrily again.

"Damn it!"

Usually, Mijia rarely used foul language.

Usually, he was kind and approachable.

Looking at the bugs in front of him that showed no signs of decreasing, Mijia took a deep breath.

He understood that he and these 500 Super Soldiers would very likely sacrifice themselves here today.

Don't even think about support.

Now, there were only two possibilities before him.

One, there was truly a problem on Earth's side.

Two, there was a problem with the Qi Lin Legion.

No matter which of these two points occurred, it meant... there was absolutely no possibility of him returning alive today.

Gazing at the endless bugs in front of him.

Mijia took a deep breath!

If he couldn't return alive... then he wouldn't live!

He absolutely could not let these bugs go unchecked; the consequences were something he, and the entire Earth, could not bear.

At this moment, Mijia's gaze was cold.

The Power Sword in his hand also bloomed with a light more dazzling than usual.

Without the slightest hesitation, Mijia charged at the bugs again.

This time, he carried a will of pressing forward with no thought of return.

The next second, Mijia began a massacre among the swarm of bugs.

No matter what kind of bug it was, none could withstand the power of his sword.

Time passed quietly.

In the blink of an eye, a day and a half had passed.

For this entire day and a half, Mijia and the 500 Super Soldiers had been engaged in high-intensity combat.

Even though they were now Super Soldiers, they still could not endure it.

Many soldiers were already nearing exhaustion.

Yet even so, they had no intention of retreating, continuing to slaughter the bugs.

As for the bugs, their numbers were always being controlled.

However, there were not many bug corpses in the surrounding area.

Only these few streaks of green blood floated in the cold space.

Those bug corpses had long since been dragged back and recycled by other bugs.

And Mijia's Power Sword, despite having a terrifying Decomposition Field, showed signs of faintly shattering after such a long period of high-intensity combat.

But Mijia did not care in the slightest.

What was the use of thinking about that now?

The only thing he had to do now was to kill this group of bugs clean.

Other than that, there was nothing more important than this.

Another hour passed.

Finally, a First Generation Super Soldier could not hold on, was grabbed by a bug that had evolved several times, and was torn limb from limb.

This was the first time there had been casualties in over a hundred years.

And following the first casualty, more casualties followed in quick succession.

In less than half an hour.

These 400 First Generation Super Soldiers had already died to the last man, leaving only Mijia and the other 100 Second Generation Super Soldiers.

Even so.

Mijia had not the slightest intention of retreating.

The remaining 100 Super Soldiers did not either; they remained silent, simply killing bugs relentlessly.

As for why reinforcements from Earth had not arrived, they did not let their minds wander.

They were very clear about one thing.

They had not been sacrificed or abandoned by Earth; rather, it was only because a major problem had truly occurred on Earth's side that things were like this.

Moreover, they and the others only needed to hold on for another half a day.

After half a day, the Macro Cannon would finish charging, and these damned bugs would be wiped out entirely.

However, with the death of these 400 First Generation Super Soldiers, the defensive line began to collapse at this very moment.

Before long, a Second Generation Super Soldier was dragged into the swarm by the bugs; if not for Mijia discovering it in time, I fear... the consequences would be unimaginable.

Although the Second Generation Super Soldier was rescued, the difficulty increased geometrically with every minute they held on.

The speed at which they killed the bugs was simply not as fast as the speed at which the bugs reacted.

Very quickly, the bugs broke through the defensive line and began to advance toward other areas.

And Mijia and the Second Generation Super Soldiers finally could not hold on any longer.

Just at the moment when Mijia and the other Super Soldiers were about to be devoured by the bugs.

A dozen Heat Flow Particle Beams, each as thick as a person, came from the distance.

These Heat Flow Particle Beams instantly melted the bugs around Mijia and the other Super Soldiers, relieving them of the siege.

Suddenly, everyone's morale surged.

But when they looked back toward the direction the Heat Flow Particle Beams came from, everyone, including Mijia, felt a chill in their hearts.

Because the reinforcements were only 12 Super Soldiers wearing pure black Power Armor.

With so many bugs, only 12 Super Soldiers had come to provide support.

It could be said that it didn't even count as a drop in the bucket; it could only be called a grain of sand in the vast ocean.

In front of so many bugs, the support of 12 people was truly not worth mentioning.

Without hesitation, Mijia shouted toward the 12 people.

"You must leave quickly, you don't need to come here to provide support!"

"Something has happened on Earth's side, that is where you are needed more!"

"We are enough here! Leave here immediately, do you hear me!"

These 12 people wearing pure black Power Armor did not pause in the slightest after hearing this; instead, they increased their speed.

In the blink of an eye, they stood in front of Mijia and the others.

One of them turned their head and said to Mijia and the others: "We have come to support you."

"You should take a good rest."

Mijia, however, shook his head and refused.

"No!"

"How can we rest! The bugs that we 500 people couldn't fight against, how can you 12 people!"

"If..."

Mijia's words were not finished before being interrupted.

"We certainly can!"

"Because we are, Heaven Sword!"
