Chapter 327: Chapter 308: The Army’s Defeat Like a Mountain Collapse (Five-in-One)_5

Therefore, landing on the planet for combat duty wasn’t a tough chore for them; it was a plum assignment!

How could Aus not keep such a lucrative opportunity for his own Third Legion and instead hand it over to them? Something didn’t seem right.

Under normal circumstances, if they fought alongside the Third Legion, they’d be lucky to catch even a sip of soup. Now they were being given the meat to chew, Artud was genuinely worried it might chip a tooth.

He knew better than anyone what kind of person Aus was—that guy was anything but friendly or merciful.

"Legion Commander? What’s wrong?"

His subordinates, seeing Artud silent for so long, asked in bewilderment.

"Nothing, relay my order to land on the planet!"

Artud said coldly.

"Yes!"

Hearing Artud’s order, his subordinates became excited, like starved wolves that hadn’t eaten for three days and three nights.

But just as they were about to leave the command center,

Artud spoke up.

"Stay here, all of you. Let the men below eat this meat!"

"What?"

Everyone was stunned.

"Any objections?"

Artud scanned the crowd with a penetrating gaze.

"No!"

The many subordinates present shivered with cold, none daring to oppose him.

Soon, with Artud’s command, the Skull Legion soldiers charged towards the Anfas Empire Main Star like they had been injected with chicken blood, crazed with frenzy.

Imperial soldiers of the Anfas Empire desperately controlled their mechas to block their path along the way.

Regrettably, it was useless; they were crushed without any surprises.

A fleet of Level 4 ships bearing the Skull Legion insignia and a dense formation of mechas, like swarms of locusts, penetrated the atmosphere.

The moment they emerged from the atmosphere,

The vast land came into view, with a huge base city standing in the center, enveloped within a Dorag Sphere—this base city was the Royal City of the Anfas Empire.

Loud alarms rang out in the massive Royal City, which was in chaos everywhere, with civilians running for their lives and escape vessels taking off.

At the same time, all the defensive weapons, both inside and outside of the Royal City, were fully deployed.

Whoosh!

Beams of light and intercepting missiles rose into the sky.

At that moment, battleships in the skies opened their launch ports.

Missiles poured out like rain, rapidly intercepting those that had launched, while directing their black gun barrels to break the Dorag Sphere and destroy all the defense weapons inside and outside the city.

In fact, the Skull Legion’s invading ships were already being very restrained—for them, the entire base city was a treasure trove; otherwise, they would have used heavy bombs and their main cannons to completely obliterate the city by now.

Nevertheless, even with such restraint, the missiles still exploded everywhere within the city!

In an instant, flames rose to the sky.

Soon, nearly half of the city’s defenses were dismantled; then one battleship after another opened their drop hatches.

Swoosh, swoosh!

Countless wedge-shaped landing pods, like raindrops, fell upon the city.

Boom!

With the landing pods touching down, one after another Imperial soldier in exoskeleton armor emerged, walking out with sinister smiles.

"Ah!"

A group of fleeing civilians, upon seeing the Imperial soldiers, ran back in terror.

These soldiers immediately raised their firearms and rained down gunfire on the civilians.

Bang, bang!

Blood splattered everywhere.

One by one, civilians fell to the ground.

The Imperial soldiers, energized, rushed forward like locusts, stripping the corpses of anything valuable.

For those not quite dead, who looked at them with pleading eyes, they didn’t hesitate to take them out with a single shot.

Then, like ravenous wolves, they rushed into the surrounding buildings.

Amidst the screams of despair, several women with beautiful features were pulled out by their hair, dragged out kicking and screaming!

Any strong resistance was met with a punch, or they were simply killed on the spot.

At this point, the remaining guards of the Anfas Empire were desperately covering the fleeing civilians.

"Run!"

But a scene of despair occurred; mechas landed right among the crowd of refugees, crushing many underfoot.

Raising their arms, the mechas swept gunfire over the guards.

Bang, bang!

An entire area burst into bloody chaos, like hell on earth.

...

Inside the Starlight Sphere.

Su Ming picked up his phone to check the time; it was already midnight, and the images had yet to return to normal.

This interruption was unusually long.

"Why hasn’t it come through? Is there a problem?"

Mia and the others sighed.

Just then, the frozen image flickered back into motion.

"It’s coming through!"

"Quick, see what’s happening."

...

Everyone immediately perked up.

However, when the virtual image was finally fully displayed, everyone exploded in shock.

Su Ming and the others found themselves on the streets of Anfas Royal City, engulfed in soaring flames, with explosions and cries of despair echoing in their ears.

They saw Imperial soldiers brutally massacring male civilians and violating female ones.

Massive mechas were crushing buildings and rampaging through the city.

"How could it be like this? The Imperial Army has actually landed on the planet!"

"So barbaric."

"They’re just like beasts!"

...

Many students watched these bloody scenes, angrily accusing.

"Alas, it’s all over."

Mia shook her head.

Rhein and the others fell silent.

Su Ming sighed and then opened the Star Cluster Forum to see the current status of the forum.

He discovered that the posts only updated to when the joint forces were at a disadvantage.

There were billions of comments under these posts.

"What’s the situation now? Did we win or lose?"

"It’s unclear."

"Does anyone know the latest situation?"

...

At that moment, Su Ming saw a post being pushed to the top.

"The Sinful Beasts, the Calamity of Anfas Kingdom."
