Victory

By 7 a. m. on the 20th, the sky cleared, and the steep, almost vertical side of the rock wall Barren Canyon was bathed in the cold sunlight, while the other side was still dim.

Augustus, wearing commander Power Armor, stood next to a command center at the forefront of the bottleneck position, looking towards the main battlefield a few miles away. Standing beside him were Ghost operative Sarah·Kerrigan and his guard commander, Corporal Faraday.

This has almost become the standard image when Marshal Revolutionary Army appears. Whether he is wearing a dark gray thick woolen military coat like a cape or wearing Power Armor, there must be a popular-looking corporal and a red-haired agent beside him.

Sometimes Raynor, Tychus or other Revolutionary Army generals will follow Augustus deep into Ma·Sara Survey the terrain in various places and formulate combat plans. But as long as there is Augustus, Corporal Faraday and Kerrigan will definitely appear, and the reverse is the same.

Thousands of transport planes and small and medium-sized spacecraft are flying at a low altitude of two thousand feet, traveling between the battlefield and the field hospital near the Martin Fortress command center, carrying seriously injured people and medical soldiers who are in urgent need of rescue.

Except for Confederacy military-standard APOD series military transport ships, nearly two-thirds of them are civilian spacecraft rented by the Revolutionary Army. Most civilian spaceships are painted in dark yellow and black, with various styles, ranging from elegant butterfly to disc-shaped beetles.

Some spacecraft thrusters are still emitting black smoke. This is because the locals of Ma·Sara are still using illegally mined and privately refined gas fuel. Guild Wars Until now, this planet still implements an almost strict policy of limited time and limited supply of fuel, so smuggled gas that is cheap but not pure enough has become the first choice of many Edge World residents.

The residents near Barren Canyon have a far better impression of the Revolutionary Army than Governor Ma Sara and the arriving Alpha Squadron government troops. They are willing to lend their illegally modified small spaceships to the Revolutionary Army for use, as long as the Revolutionary Army people can afford the negligible fuel fee.

Below the bottleneck position is a ramp with a gap of several hundred feet. From the position of Augustus, one can see convoys carrying lightly wounded people and seized supplies rumbling up the ramp.

Armored personnel carriers, starport buses, factory trucks, heavy-duty trucks used to transport crystal mines, and many trucks carrying grains from local farmers in Ma·Sara passed by Augustus one after another, crossing the canyon that had been smoothed with a road roller and heading south out of the canyon.

Most of these trucks passing by Augustus were loaded with wounded soldiers. Soldiers who had taken off their armor lay scattered in the truck bed. Almost everyone was wrapped in blood-stained bandages and hugging their rifles. The Revolutionary Army soldiers who were seriously injured were drowsy, while the soldiers who were still awake were silent.

Behind the convoy full of wounded were heavy trucks pulling heavy artillery, ranging from rail cannons with a caliber of more than 150mm, howitzers to rocket launchers. Augustus alone could count five hundred of them, enough for Augustus to arm a reorganized artillery brigade under the Marshal's Command.

Then there were trucks loaded with CMC-Power Armor, ammunition supply boxes and heavy machine guns. Both sides of the convoy were full of the Revolutionary Army soldiers advancing on foot. Each Revolutionary Army soldier was separated by twenty or thirty yards, and in the middle was a disarmed Alpha Squadron soldier, wearing only a black and white combat uniform.

In the pre-dawn battle, Augustus's Revolutionary Army finally defeated Alpha Squadron's landing force, and at the same time captured nearly 10,000 well-preserved sets of CMC-300 Power Armor and more Federal Marine Corps standard ammunition, even the remaining several thousand sets of Power Armor can be reused if they are repaired by Rory·Swann and Hiram·Fick.

At the same time, more than two hundred Alpha Squadron's Arclite Siege Tank and more than one hundred and sixty Goliath Combat Robot caused heavy damage to the Revolutionary Army during the battle. were also captured. The remaining Armored Vehicle, infantry fighting vehicles, reconnaissance vehicles and Vulture Motorcycle vehicles used as vehicles by Alpha Squadron totaled two thousand. The harvest was astonishing.

By this time, with the surrender of Alpha Squadron's active flagship Norad III, the battle on Ma·Sara's synchronous orbit also came to an end. Revolutionary Army's Fleets defeated Alpha Squadron's Fleets while only seriously damaging two Leviathan-class battlecruisers.

Alpha Fleets Four Behemoth-class Battlecruiser were destroyed, two battlecruisers including Norad III and Napoleon surrendered, and the remaining five jumped away from Sara System.

"How many people were killed in the battle?" Augustus waved to a truck going away, maintaining his steely and determined expression, and asked Kerrigan beside him.

"Less than 8,000 people, more than 30,000 wounded." Kerrigan considered the words and said, "Alpha Squadron's casualties are about one to two compared to ours, but there are more battle dead than us. Their equipment is better than ours, and their firepower is stronger."

Compared with the number of soldiers Revolutionary Army and Alpha Squadron put into the battlefield, the casualty ratio of the Revolutionary Army was not as high as that of Alpha Squadron. In fact, the death toll of Alpha Squadron was close to half of the number of soldiers who participated in the battle. Those who survived were only because they accepted Duke's order to surrender.

"Resocialized Soldier are a group of lunatics. They would rather shed their blood to continue fighting and ignore the cries of their injured comrades. They are just cheap consumables. In comparison, the equipment on these people is more valuable."

"Take them all back." Augustus said, "I can't bury them here, I want to take them home."

Kerrigan just blinked and listened carefully. In contrast, Corporal Faraday kept a straight face from beginning to end. This corporal, known as the captain of the marshal's guard, was actually the top officer of the headquarters' security force. He always kept a straight face no matter what.

"Notify the newly established body disposal office that I need them to transport the ashes of the soldiers back to Umojan." At this point, Augustus was silent for a few seconds.

"Soldiers from Deadman's Port - follow the advice of their families, if no one takes them, then bury the Deadman's Port soldiers who died in the war in the Heroic Cemetery of Umojan New Sterling. Wait until we rebuild Korhal, and then bury them in Sterling--"

"I forgot, Sterling no longer exists." Augustus said, "Then he will be buried in the cemetery of the new capital."

After saying Augustus, he stopped talking, because he was seeing a green Vulture in the distance, crossing the convoy and heading straight for Augustus.

When Vulture made a beautiful turn and stopped in front of Augustus, Jim·Raynor and Mira·Han jumped out in the back seat.

"This is the most brutal battle I have ever fought." Raynor was very sad.

"Many of my good brothers are dead."
