North District Fortress.
Li Tiannan stood on the fortress wall, his gaze directed downward. Below the wall, rows of bodies, their blood still fresh, lay upon the ground.
Fifteen minutes ago, a great battle had been raging here.
The alien races had gathered an army of tens of thousands, broken through the defensive line established by the Human Alliance outside the North District, and wiped out three garrisons in a single push.
Then, the alien army assaulted the fortress.
The army garrisoned in the North District had risen up to repel them.
In this battle, human casualties exceeded three thousand. Bright red blood stained the battlefield, leaving an indelible crimson against the white snow.
Just then, a soldier with a general's star on his shoulder approached Li Tiannan from behind. He saluted respectfully and presented a battle report to him.
"Elder Li, this is the battle report," the soldier said.
