Cheyenne Mountain.

Among the endless mountains was the last fortress of the UA.

It contained more than two hundred internal networks composed of super large and large computers and more than six hundred dedicated communication lines. Data obtained by all UA military satellites, civilian satellites, air radar early warning systems, and ground radar early warning systems were also compiled here. In addition, the command center also maintained hundreds of backup hotlines, which was used to keep the communication open with the President of the UA, the top military command, major UA headquarters, Canada, and major UA military bases distributed around the world at any time.

Even though this fortress was deep in the mountains, its reach was far beyond the reach of the traditional military command. The President of the UA could command the Army, Air Forces, and Navy here and call on his people to resist against the invasion of Celestial Trade.

Unit 721 was responsible for the garrison in this area along with several teams outside of the unit, with the number of troops totalling more than 1,500, or equivalent to half a brigade. The UA also deployed a special mountain brigade equipped with the “Sea Beast” power armor to counteract against Celestial Trade’s powerful orbital airborne troops.

Although the 400-meter-thick granite and several layers of steel reinforcement above the base gave them absolute confidence, the UA, who already suffered defeat once, did not dare to take this time lightly.

If Cheyenne Mountain fell, even if the people refused to surrender, all the resistance forces would be scattered because of the lost central command…

It was night.

Heavy rain poured down into the mountain, and the visibility of the entire foothills was reduced to a minimum. The early warning aircrafts at the nearby airport were unable to take off, and the UA military had to send double the number of troops for patrol mission. At the same time, they also took the opportunity that Celestial Trade was also unable to enter the air region to maintain radar, air defense missiles, and cannons.

Beams of flashlights occasionally appeared in the mountain, followed by soldiers that were fully equipped. The soldiers marching by as they searched every corner of the mountain. However, inside the shadow, no one noticed that a group of invisible “ghosts” were approaching quietly from a mountain path.

There were two paths into the Cheyenne Mountain military base – one was in the center of the military base at the foot of the mountain, and the other was located on a cliff halfway up the mountain and could only be accessed by helicopter. Regardless of the path, both tunnels were more than 500 meters long.

In these tunnels, there were layers of securities. It was almost impossible to sneak inside without disturbing the patrols stationed there.

Of course, this applied only to conventional troops.

“Enemy patrol spotted at three o’clock.”

“Roger, ‘Ghost’ is moving forward.”

The sound of leaves being brushed was hidden inside the storm, unnoticeable, like a gentle breeze that just blew by. The muzzle in the ghost’s hand was slightly lowered while she took out a sharp dagger. She moved towards to outpost located halfway up the mountain under the disguise of the night.

The risk of an airborne mission into the hinterland of the UA was extremely high.

Even the strongest troops required supply. If the battle could not be ended in a short period of time, if the C State National Guard stationed tens of kilometers away came for reinforcement, unless Celestial Trade parachuted more troops, the orbital airborne brigade was likely to be encircled and annihilated.

After all, this place was far away from the city. They didn’t have to be concerned about civilian casualties. If they used all the self-propelled artilleries, even tanks would have a hard time getting away.

The entire battle plan took three days to formulate.

In addition to Celestial Trade Army and the Space Department, the Ghost Agents also made a rare appearance and directly participated in this mission, unlike the usual intelligence support. This showed the importance of this military operation to Celestial Trade.

From the first shot being fired to the end of the battle, there was only one hour given to Celestial Trade’s soldiers.

In an hour, they had to break through the strongest fortress in the world, and then force the President of the UA to surrender…

Could the war end early? It’s entirely would be decided on this one mission.

…

The raindrops were slashed to halves.

A sharp blade pierced out from the darkness, and precisely cut through the fragile throat.

“Guuuuhhhh…!”

In the struggle, the soldier’s enlarged pupils gradually dilated, and his hands slowly dropped down.

The “ghost’ covered in a jet-black carbon nano armor let go of the hand that covered the soldier’s mouth, then gently placed the body into the grass beside the mountain path.

Her right hand formed into a fist, then she pointed forward with two fingers.

A group of soldiers slowly stood up from the shadow and rushed forward.

Along the way, any patrols were quietly taken out by Ghost Agents. Under the double cover of night and heavy rain, this force hardly encountered any obstacles.

Everything was executed like the exercise.

The Skyeye X1 military satellite scanned the terrain of Cheyenne Mountain. All the soldiers involved in the operation had gone through countless exercises in the virtual reality system on the SS Expedition before they were parachuted down to C State.

When they finally reached the top of the mountain, about 500 elite soldiers in K2 kinetic skeleton surrounded the radar stations. The Ghost Agents were responsible for silencing devices, and the flanking troops used drones to drop more than a dozen EMP grenades into the radar station.

Quickly after an order, the UA soldiers stationed at the entrance of the radar station only felt a mosquito-like noise hum into their ears, then they completely lost their hearing.

The orange light flickered, and light and shadow were distorted by the rainstorm.

Bullets arbitrarily flew inside the radar station, and the soldiers’ roar and intense gunfire were all silenced by the buzzing sound waves. Blood-stained bodies fell one after another, and the blood flowed into the mud pit with the rain and turned the mud pit into redness.

The long-prepared plan was executed, and the Celestial Trade soldiers who quickly attacked the radar station did not need further communication. In the tacit understanding, the infantry company stationed at the radar station and more than ten troops from Unit 721 responsible for repairing the radar were quickly taken out.

However, a fish slipped through the net.

A signal flare passed through the heavy curtain of rain and burst into an orange-red light in the air. Almost at the same time, the sound of sirens echoed in every corner of the mountain. The early warning aircrafts parked in the hangar took off in emergency, the armored vehicles in the tunnel drove out in waves, groups of soldiers quickly assembled, and the entire Cheyenne Mountain covered by rain started to move.

DADADADA!

The orange-yellow trajectories tore open the rain curtain and moved up the mountain. Celestial Trade soldiers quickly set up temporary bunkers and deployed anti-tank weapons. The roar of gunship helicopter propellers reverberated in the mountains, and an encounter quickly ensued.

However, to the surprise of the UA military, the surrounded Celestial Trade soldiers did not panic like they imagined. They did not immediately retreat, nor did they launch an attack on the helicopter entrance by the cliff, but rather, they had established a line of defense on top of the hill. It seemed that they were planning to defend this place

What are they thinking?

It was the question in every UA soldiers’ head.

Once the C State National Guard’s support company was deployed and dozens of high-explosive rockets were fired into the mountain, these difficult opponents would be torn to pieces. With the absolute advantage in firepower, even the best technology could not save them!

But soon, Celestial Trade responded to this question with action.

“This is the ‘Ghost’, the radar station has been paralyzed, and the secondary objective is complete. Our mission is exposed. Plan A failed, initiating Plan B.”

“This is the SS Expedition, the radar station is confirmed to be destroyed, initiating Plan B.”

“Digging Warrior is entering the launch port, counting down…”

“5”

“4”

“3”

“2”

“1”

“0”

“…Dropping!”

On the synchronous orbit, a huge object slowly floated out from SS Expedition’s launch port. Due to the force of gravity, it slowly accelerated towards the blue planet underneath…
