Hidden Yao Era

Casto was joined by Colonel Robinson's Black Knights, along with the ship's escort and an elite hoplite regiment led by Commander Cadia himself. After fierce fighting, they lost 15% of their forces to gain a foothold at the landing site. Looking at the corpses and mecha wreckage all over the mountain, Casto knew that the street battles inside the mountain would be even more brutal next.

They then overcame several strongholds in the mountains, and Casto was eager to attack the headquarters in the mountains. Neither Commander Cadia nor Colonel Robinson agreed with his risky move.

"It's too risky, and we've lost our first-mover advantage at the moment, so they've been prepared for it for a long time. Commander Kadia advised.

"But if we can't fight at this point, then their defense will be stronger!" Castor still insisted.

Colonel Robinson also agreed with Commander Cadia: "It is not good for them to wear out, as long as we stand here and surround them, their forces will be depleted more and more." It will be much easier to attack when the time comes. "

"If they drag on any longer, what if they break through the net with a fleet? As you have noticed, they have fought to the death with us impatiently, and will hardly give up any ground. This means that their commander has given them a death order, otherwise they will be very patient with us. We can't hesitate, we have to rush in!" Casto was so excited that the bruises on his face burst out.

At this time, the division commander Kadia suddenly received a message: "What!?, the enemy army broke through a heavy fortress?"

"How is this possible? We have just broken their defenses, how can they fight back so quickly?" said Colonel Robinson.

"Unless they use all of their newly formed 'Divine Forces'!" Casto said.

At this time, Division Commander Kadia received a voice from General Xie Zhongyuan: "Division Commander Kadia! The situation on our side is very bad, the enemy has launched a fierce attack on us, and five fortress groups and one heavy fortress have been lost, and two divisions have been severely damaged. I command you to storm into the mountains, find their headquarters, and take them down!"

Division Commander Cadia glanced down the mountain, where there was wolf smoke, wreckage and corpses everywhere, and the entire base of Mount Olympus was almost red with blood.

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!" After Caldia replied, he turned to Casor and said, "It seems that you are right, I just don't want too many casualties." Now it seems that we still have to attack. He then ordered his opponent, "We need to storm the tunnels next, Colonel Robinson, and your Black Knights will be the arrows to attack them." Colonel Leslie, you, as the second echelon, attack an important stronghold after the Black Knights break through. Brigadier General Cavendish ......

".

"I operate with the Black Knights, my group of soldiers are all handpicked by me, they are all very good in close combat, and they also have experience fighting enemy special forces on ships, which can come in handy in this kind of closed street fighting. After Casor finished speaking, Commander Cadia's face was a little ugly.

"It's too dangerous, Brigadier General Cavendish ......

".

"I know, but that's when we should try to attack, not who we want to protect. We should have no reservations and must not allow the enemy's commanders to escape. Casto said.

"Alright, Colonel Robinson, Brigadier Cavendish will be handed over to you. Colonel Robinson nodded, and then took on the huge black helmet. Lead his elite hoplites and multi-purpose mechs into the tunnel rift.

They had scanned the tunnels before, and the enemy defenses had long been in good hands. As soon as some unmanned light mechs who went to explore the path entered the tunnel, they were greeted by machine guns and machine guns. These enemy forces were so nervous that they poured almost all their ammunition on these poor mechs.

Colonel Robinson and 100 hoplites rushed in, crushing the enemy forces on the first line of defense as if they were chopping melons and vegetables, and quickly took control of both ends of the tunnel. Colonel Robinson captured an officer who knew Colonel Robinson and was so frightened that he could barely speak.

Colonel Robinson lifted him up with one hand: "What enemy is your command on?".

The officer, who was already a little short, like a rabbit pinched by Colonel Robinson, said incoherently, "I, I...... See you again...... Isn't it God...... Does God want me to see you, will you be able to see God if you kill me? No, I will be able to see God!"

"Where is your headquarters?" said Colonel Robinson in a thick voice.

"......In the southwest of the tunnel," the man fainted.

Colonel Robinson put him down and instructed logistics to pick him up. Then he and Casto discussed the next direction of attack.

Castor suggested that they split up and attack the headquarters in the southwest of the mountain tunnel from two directions. This will block the escape routes of enemy generals.

Colonel Robinson thought the plan was feasible. He specifically instructed Casto to send more troops to block the passage when attacking, so as to reduce the pressure on them to besiege and kill the enemy commander.

More than 3,000 soldiers and thousands of light mechs followed. The tunnels of Mount Olympus wrap around the entire mountain, like a coil, layer upon layer. After 20 minutes of preparation, Castor and Colonel Robinson launched an attack on the enemy command center.

Casto's offensive was progressing unexpectedly well, and he didn't expect the forces here to be so empty. They took down multiple lanes one after another. But then they were met with a frantic onslaught of enemy attacks at the passage to the headquarters and the central area.

This passage was originally the cable car center around Olympus, and the hall of more than 4,000 square meters was originally designed for a large number of tourists to wait for the train. But now the open field was the perfect place for the enemy to charge, and they continued to advance under the concealment of the pillars and wreckage of the hall, allowing the hoplites to fight Kasto and them when they got closer.

The

enemy hoplites continued to charge at them with no fate, and four of them were killed in front of Castor. Castor picked up a heavy sniper rifle and shot two dead. The other two enemy soldiers picked up the corpses of their comrades as shields and continued to charge, and Castor saw a dead enemy hoplite beside him, so he directly picked up the ion blade in the infantryman's hand and fought with the two men.

Casto slashed at the man's calf. The man hurriedly blocked Castor's blade with his corpse. The corpse was already fragile in the waist after being bombarded by the machine guns many times. Castor's knife cut the corpse in two, but the ionic blade only slid through the enemy soldier's calf armor and did not hurt the vital point.

Seeing that Casto's blade was out, the man was about to take advantage of the gap to slash at Casto. Castor pulled out his pistol with his left hand and knocked the knife off the man's hand. But at this moment another enemy rushed forward, and Casto hurriedly dodged. His blade grazed Casto's waist.

After the soldier rushed over, he fired several shots at the crack in the armor on his shoulder, shattering the part of the armor and breaking the soldier's shoulder, and his arm drooped, apparently unable to continue the fight.

Casto felt a burning heat in his abdomen, followed by a sharp pain. He lowered his head and found that the armor on his abdomen had been cut open, and his stomach had been opened.

Seeing this, another soldier put on a pistol and prepared to aim at the wound in Casto's abdomen. But before he could hold his gun, he was shot down by Casto.

Annoyed and angry, the enemy soldiers rushed towards Castor, who hurriedly opened fire on them, shooting three times through the cracks in the enemy soldier's helmet, killing one soldier. But the soldier with the missing arm also pounced, and Castor was about to turn around and shoot, when he found that he had run out of bullets.

He was thrown to the ground by the soldier, who held Casto down with his body, one hand trying to find Casto's wound. Just as he was about to plunge his hand into Casto's wound, a gunshot rang out and the soldier was killed.

The soldiers who arrived rescued Castor. The accompanying medical officer examined Castor's injuries, which were not deep and did not hurt internal organs. The medics quickly treated Castor's wound with repair fluid and medical glue.

Casto asked his company commander about the fighting: "What is the situation at the two junctions, and how much are our losses?"

"We have lost 500 men, and we still have less than 1,000 troops. It is strange that the forces in the direction of the command headquarters that the captives said are weak, but the forces guarding the center of the mountain are strong. Could it be that their headquarters is actually in the middle of the mountain?" the company commander wondered.

"Impossible, there are too many passages near the center of the mountain, which are easy to attack and difficult to defend, and it is impossible for the headquarters to be located there. Are they trying to create any illusion?" Castor also felt a little strange, and he hurried to contact Colonel Robinson.

"Colonel, we have taken the fork in the road leading to the enemy's headquarters and the middle of the mountain, what is the situation on your side?".

"We don't have many obstacles, and their troops don't seem to be ready, what about your side?".

"We met very stubborn resistance on our side, and the losses were a bit big. Casto said.

"You are holding this place, we will attack the enemy headquarters with all our might, and we will try to force them to you. If we attack from both sides, we will surely be able to capture their commander alive. Colonel Robinson suggested.

"Okay, we're here to defend, so go ahead. When Casto had finished replying, he suddenly saw a battalion of soldiers suddenly appear in the central area, dressed in silver armor, shouting and rushing towards him.

"How many of them are there!?" Castor wondered, ordering his soldiers to shoot and keep the light mechs in front.

The enemy soldiers frantically charged at their defenses, the mechs in the front row almost gone, and Casto let the hoplites on top. After a desperate battle, the enemy was routed, leaving only more than 100 hoplites hiding in bunkers and resisting stubbornly.

"Surround them, force them out, and hit the cracks in their armor with heavy rifles!" Casto ordered.

Castor's light infantry pinned down the enemy in a corner with a dense strafing fire. Then several soldiers threw bombs and pulse grenades at the place where the enemy troops had gathered, and the enemy soldiers saw that there was no hope of breaking through, so they simply rushed out. Casto and his snipers opened fire and wiped out the remnants of the enemy.

This force of 500 men killed and wounded most of Casto's troops, and all the mechs in Castor's formation were lost, leaving only some light infantry and less than 100 hoplites.

Casto scrutinized the corpses of the enemy soldiers, whose armor was richly decorated with colors that looked like honor guards from ancient frescoes. He contacted Colonel Robinson again: "The other side has just launched a fierce attack on us, and we have less than 500 men left, Colonel Robinson, we will hold on to this position!"

"Withdraw quickly, it is already difficult for these people to hold their positions, once they come back to help, you will not be able to run, retreat quickly! With the strength of our side, we can complete the task. Rest assured. As soon as Colonel Robinson finished speaking, a gunshot rang out from the voice. Casto thought that Colonel Robinson might be in the midst of another battle.

"What's in the center on the other side, and what are their elite guards guarding?" Castor couldn't help but wonder. He looked over the passage to the center of the mountain, where the lights were dim and frequent, and no one knew what was in the depths.

"Aren't they any more, Chief of Guard, can you use the Wesp Reconnaissance Plane to probe ahead again?" asked Casto.

The chief of the guard then used the reconnaissance plane all the way to the front, and they found that there was no guard in front of them, which means that the guards just now had poured out of the nest and all died in front of them.

"Chief of Guard, you take 400 people to guard here, and I'll take people to the front to have a look. Casto said.

"No, Captain, I don't know what will be in front of me, in case they ......."

"No, I have to go and see!" Castor was driven by some unknown motivating him to go deeper into the center of the mountain.

The tunnel led to the center of the mountain, and they walked briskly until they reached the middle of the mountain in less than 20 minutes. Casto contacted Colonel Robinson again, "Colonel, how's your situation going over there?"

"We have annihilated the enemy army. Their marshal was captured alive, but one of their generals ran away with a couple of high-ranking officers. Colonel Robinson replied.

"Okay! I'm about to enter the heart of the Olympus Tunnel with 100 men, and I think they must be hiding some secret, and if we are in distress, please support us. Castor replied.

"Oh, you're really idle, but you're right, their cultists may be in the center of Mars' highest peak. We may be able to disrupt some of their rituals and disrupt their morale. Be careful and stay connected!" Colonel Robinson said.

Casto led the men to the armored gate in the central area of Mount Olympus, where they heard an eerie sound inside. There seemed to be the sound of countless people wailing and screaming on the other side of the door, as if the other side of the door was purgatory on the other side of the world.

Casto then discovers that the password has not been changed.

"Can they only decipher the code, but not break the privilege to reset it?" Casto wondered.

The central area of Mount Olympus was originally a huge museum that housed the most important artifacts and biological specimens of Martian history, and almost every detail of the entire history of Mars can be found here. It used to be a place for nobles to visit and educate their children, and ordinary commoners were not allowed to enter.

When Castor opened the armored door, the scene inside made him feel both terrifying and heartbroken.

The large and heavy exhibition hall is no longer decorated with artifacts and specimens, but a crucified human body, some of which have been modified, and terrifying alien tissues grow on them, and these people are constantly screaming and wailing.

And in the center of this hellish sight was a huge golden cross, on which was nailed a woman covered in blood. Casto looked at the man tremblingly, and the adjutant beside him asked puzzledly, "Who is that man in the middle?"

Casto muttered, "That's ...... Sonia ......

".
