A swarm of five-legged insects, their shells stained with blood, rushed towards them. A large number of smaller insects followed behind them. For a moment, even the diligent knights were unable to react.
The moment the knights were about to be devoured by the Swarm, a mech appeared out of nowhere, quietly landing behind the knights.
"Let's go, let's continue the fight!"
With the roar of the mech, the random mechs stopped their attacks on a certain knight. They stretched out their hands, held the knight's arm, and with a gentle pull, dragged the knight to their side. They waved their hands, and a faint light enveloped them.
Just as the mech was cleaning up the remaining Swarm on the ground, a spark suddenly shot out from the ground. A number of insects drilled out from underground and attacked the awakened mech.
"Watch out!"
The mech's pupils widened. It wanted to save them, but the body of the mech moved slowly, unable to catch up.
Boom!
A spark shot out of the path, landing on the Swarm, creating a violent explosion. The stunned mech stared blankly at the pillar of fire, and only then did it realize that a Glamoth Iron Knight was standing not far from the mech, protecting its right arm.
"This is AR-26710, who has been commanding from the side?" it thought. "But with just a glance, he recognized this iron knight's identity."
"Knight, don't be dazed. Now is the time to fight!"
A cold voice came from the mech again. It turned its head to look, and found that the mech that had been saved from the Swarm's mouth had already turned its spearhead towards the Swarm that was besieging them, leaving only a lingering shadow.
"Yes! I will obey the commander's orders!"
The mech was enveloped in light, and a dazzling green light flashed in its eyes. With a final burst of strength, it got up and rushed into the battlefield. This mech was already a year old.
This was clearly a new model of the Glamoth Knight V-type mech. It was very strong, and even in a battle with the high-ranking Swarm, it still had a certain degree of self-preservation.
Therefore, when the first Glamoth knights went to the battlefield, they were faced with the Swarm. After killing the enemy, only the remaining knights, Ming, had exhausted their thoughts to protect their own knights and left with them alive.
At that time, in their eyes, every knight was a unique existence. They tried their best to save every knight, to comfort every knight whose face was pale. They would hold them in their arms and tell them that after every battle, they would not have to worry about the idle talk, and they would not have to give up any of their comrades. As a weapon, they had planted a seed in their hearts, igniting their desire for life.
A year later, Ye Ming had abandoned his initial naivety.
On the battlefield where the Swarm was like a tide, every day, countless people died.
On the battlefield, every day, countless new knights were born, and at the same time, they were like consumables, dying on the battlefield.
He loved the Swarm, but he was also a member of the Empress's knights, became the current hundreds of people. The number of Swarm he dealt with, for the Empress, was the core, and he would devour them with his internal organs as a link, and perform his mission.
The Glamoth Iron Knights were another kind of Swarm in a certain sense. They were born as a whole, boundless, fighting to the death for the battle. Only by killing all the Swarm could they inspire the full strength of the knights.
The Final Stand
On the battlefield, every knight had a mission. No one had time to save anyone, and they had to do more things.
The knights acted as living weapons, fighting to the death against the Swarm. The only choice was to be the most realistic, but also the choice that was most likely to allow more knights to survive.
As things stood, Ye Ming could no longer try to save every knight in danger. Compared to his unrealistic fantasy, what he had to do was to save as many knights as possible.
He had to do everything in his power, and when his comrades were in danger, he would help them out of danger. He couldn't do more, and the only thing he could do was to charge at the forefront.
He had promised a lot, and had shouldered a huge pressure, which made him out of breath. If he could really survive, get rid of his team, and die in battle.
What a pity!
Looking at the bleak battlefield in front of him, Ye Ming was in a daze, his mind blank.
The sky was completely covered by the dense Swarm, becoming a sky formed by the Swarm. The Swarm were gnawing at the wreckage on the ground, and on the ground, there was a thick layer of fragments from the knights' mechs. At the same time, there were also many mechs from the Glamoth Republic.
These things, he knew, were not all. In the starry sky outside the planet, there were more knights fighting against the Swarm around the planet, preventing the Swarm from spreading.
And the mothership, at this moment, was somewhere on this desolate planet.
To find the mothership, to find the base, was the mission of Ye Ming's team.
"How is the situation? Can you pinpoint the location of the mothership?"
Ye Ming asked a companion at his side.
"The commander has found the location of the mothership. It's in a ruin thirty kilometers to the northeast of you."
The communication channel was established, and a reply came from inside.
Hearing this, he turned to the northeast. A beam of light that could destroy everything shot out from his hand, emitting a huge light. Where the light passed, the Swarm were melted like butter cut by a hot knife. In an instant, a vacuum channel was created in the dense Swarm.
But just as he took a short breath, more Swarm swarmed in, filling the gap again.
Ye Ming turned his head to look at the exhausted knights behind him. Perhaps, if he left now, the remaining knights would not be able to find the mothership.
Or, there was only one choice.
Ye Ming looked at Firefly, who had been silently protecting him from behind, and said in a low voice: "Firefly, follow me."
"Okay." Firefly nodded slightly.
Ye Ming took a deep breath.
"Knights, the mothership has been determined. For the glory of Her Majesty the Empress, charge with me! Charge!"
"Charge!!!"
The knights' passionate shouts echoed.
The knights followed Ye Ming. He was at the forefront, and his forever tireless, forever unfallen back, in the eyes of the knights, flashed a touch of confused color.
