Chapter 56: [Special Legion Mission: Capture Mars!]
Sailor Valley, the third garrison area of the canyon industrial zone.
A group of players, including Pound Sterling, No Beef, Pressing Ice Without Moving, and Large Meal, were still watching Zhang Qiming's live broadcast across Mars outside the supply depot. Before they could even process the shock in their minds, a blood-red faction message popped up on their personal terminals.
[Special Legion Mission Triggered!]
[Global War on Mars Begins!]

As the streamer who doesn't eat beef stared at the massive task panel that appeared before him, the chat in the live stream exploded with comments.
[I hereby declare that the imprisonment in the Homeworld timeline is over, and we are now entering full-scale Mars demolition mode.]
[Lao Niu, the thing I said before about 100,000 cow dung trampling the College of Cardinals is about to come true!]
[Urgent!!! Someone help me! I haven't joined the group yet!!!]
[Who wants to team up with me now!]
Meanwhile, Pound was staring intently at the Mars theater map on the mission panel, and his whole demeanor became alert.
In the center of the panel, the troop deployments of the three major Mars regions and the Covenant Central Reserve are displayed directly. The four red war zones of Tharsis Plateau, Mariner Valley, Polar Ice Sheet, and Covenant Central Reserve are lit up in turn, with densely packed legions, brigade-level units, and garrison nodes covering the map.
[Enemy active ground forces: approximately 46]
[Local garrison and reserves: approximately 260 million]
[Industrial militia/mining security: Approximately 80 people]
[Servant/Unmanned Support Units: Approximately 120 million units]
[Strategic Explanation: The Covenant ground forces are responsible for occupation, blockade, stabilization, and long-term garrison. Player legions will serve as the Skyward assault force, cooperating with defected Covenant forces, Skyward underground organizations, and orbital ship units to advance the liberation of Mars.]
[Main Theater 1: Tharsis Highlands Front / Troop Size: Approximately 170,000]
[Main Theater Two: Mariner Valley Area / Troop Size: Approximately 14]
[Main Theater Three: Polar Ice Sheet Front / Troop Size: Approximately 8]
[Main Theater Four: Covenant Central Reserve Army / Troop Size: Approximately 7]
Global War Rules
[I. War Zone Liberation Status: Each war zone has an independent liberation status. Players will increase the liberation status of the corresponding war zone by completing actions such as position raids, traffic disruptions, armory captures, communication node destruction, and stronghold defenses.]
[II. Enemy Resistance: The Covenant Ground Forces will continuously regenerate resistance based on the importance of the war zone, remaining troop strength, logistical support, and the integrity of command nodes. When the resistance value becomes too high, the enemy will launch a counterattack.]
[III. Defense Operation: If the enemy recaptures a key node, the war zone will enter a defense countdown. Players must fully advance the defense progress before the countdown ends; otherwise, the node will be regained control by the Covenant.]
[IV. Strategic Assets: The orbital naval force has entered the Skydrive control sequence. When operating in a designated war zone, players can request global support such as close orbit fire support, SA airborne suppression, communications jamming, and tactical supply delivery, based on battlefield authority.]
[V. Major Command Settlement: Once the global war progress reaches 100%, the Martian Cardinal Order's homeland governance system will completely collapse, and the Skyward Faction will achieve global victory!]
[Mission Rewards: Experience, Skyward Reputation, Mars War Contribution Points, Legion Merit, War Zone Liberation Contribution!]
High-contribution players can receive: Cybernetic Body Upgrade Vouchers, Faction Equipment Exchange Access, Special Titles, and War Version Exclusive Skill Points!
As the leader of the Ruby Class, Pound had long anticipated that the Sky Drive faction would launch a large-scale legion operation sooner or later, but he did not expect it to be on such a large scale.
This mission is so large that it covers the entire Mars and all Mars players... Skydrive really did a big job for Mars players!
After looking at the mission panel, he paused for only two seconds before immediately opening his game friends list and directly connecting to the temporary channels of several familiar squad leaders in the third garrison area.
"Listen up, brothers in the third garrison area! Don't break up now. Immediately put your squads together and form a combined arms company."
"Our first objective is the armory in the third garrison area. Once we take the armory, this area will have its own stronghold, supply point, and respawn point. It will be much easier to advance into the canyon industrial zone or support other Skydrive brothers later on."
The other class leaders immediately agreed. They were already excited by this unexpected big task and couldn't wait to rush out and wreak havoc.
[Player "英斤就是磅" has initiated an application to form a temporary synthesis team!]
Current members: 120/120
[Please confirm the company-level command position.]
[You have successfully formed a player legion—a company!]
[Current Unit: Temporary Combined Arms Company (Unnamed)]
Please name the current player's unit.
Pound glanced at his old teammates from the Ruby Class around him and directly entered their names.
[Player's legion naming complete.]
[Current Unit: Ruby Company]
[Company Commander: A jin is the same as a pound]
[Current Battle Zone: Mariner Valley Area - Canyon Industrial Zone Third Garrison Area]
The moment the Ruby Company was successfully formed, the map interface for all 120 players was simultaneously displayed.
The pound unlocks the portion of the global war map that has already been unlocked, allowing you to directly select the legion mission objective that is closest, most profitable, and best suited as an initial stronghold.
[Initial Legion Mission Selected]
Objective: Capture the third garrison area!
[Mission Description: The Third Garrison Area has a large stockpile of infantry weapons, smart munitions, light anti-armor weapons, tactical drones, and maintenance parts. Capturing this node will grant the Third Garrison Area temporary resupply access and unlock a regional player respawn point.]
Recommended team size: 80-150 players
[Current Participating Unit: Ruby Company]
Strategic Support Module Unlocked
[Current team support slots: 4/4]
[Support Categories: Red - Strike Support / Blue - Supply Equipment / Green - Defensive Fortifications]
[Note: A single command unit cannot carry the same type of heavy support unit repeatedly. Support units have cooldown periods, coordinate lock-in periods, and theater access restrictions.]
[Currently available support includes: communications jamming, light orbital reconnaissance, short-range orbital strikes, and SA airborne suppression]
[Warzone Contribution Unlocked: Successfully capturing this objective will increase the Mariner Valley Liberation Level.]
Pound's eyes lit up as he looked at the support list, and he immediately shouted in the company channel:
"Ruby Company, assemble!"
The veteran players of the Ruby Class were the first to respond.
Anbing slung his shield behind his back and grabbed a smart shotgun; Dafen Banquet shouldered an anti-armor launcher, shouting that he was determined to get a top spot on the war contribution leaderboard this time; Bu Chi Niu Rou had already turned on his live stream camera and aimed it at the players gathering behind him.
"Brothers, the Ruby Company's first battle is aimed at the Third Garrison Area Armory!"
The surrounding players were ignited by these words, and their previously chaotic formation quickly came together.
One by one, the squad leaders began taking attendance, ammunition boxes were thrown onto vehicles, and repair players followed behind the group, dragging their mechs and drones.
Just then, a player in the crowd suddenly raised his arm and shouted in a voice that drowned out the entire supply depot.
"For the Skywards, for Mars!"
As soon as these words were shouted, the dozens of players around were stunned at first, and then, as if they had been ignited, they all raised their weapons and arms.
"For the Skywards, for Mars!"
"For the Skywards, for Mars!"
The shouts echoed along the streets of the Third Garrison District. The Ruby Company's player squad began advancing towards the armory. The red war lights were still flashing in the distance, and the Skywards' announcements were still resounding on the city's public address system. These players, who had just been drawn into the global war, were as excited as a pack of mad dogs that had broken free of their reins.
Standing at the very front of the line, Pound raised his hand to mark the Third Garrison Armory with a red tactical marker, and waved confidently forward.
"The entire company is moving out!!!"
