Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot (French, 1796-1875)

Hello, viewers. Today's another short one for you.

The gambit to defend Pöpli IX by cutting off its supply routes from Mort was a success, once again securing all planets in the sector. Unfortunately, the bots are now making much use of Vandelon IV as a staging ground, having launched yet another attack already.

This time, the robots are threatening Mantes, a planet that had gained a reputation back when the Helldivers were facing off with the original Automaton Vanguard fleet. Being one of the primary battlegrounds of that era of the conflict, it seemed to change hands almost every day. Looking to avoid repeating that mistake, the Helldivers have descended with great fury upon the initial invasion force. Their efforts have been wildly successful so far, and the planet is already nearly cleansed of the robot's influence. At this rate, the major order is in the bag.

Back with the Terminids; things are only getting worse. As the Helldivers leave their advance unchecked, they have now nearly completely infested the Jin Xi sector, with Phact Bay the most recent planet to fall under their shadow. Although efforts are underway to protect the planet, it's looking rather grim. In the meantime, many Helldivers continue to hammer the jungled surface of Gacrux in hopes of retaking it but have only managed to fight to a standstill. Let's hope things pick up soon.

That's all we have prepared for now; we'll see you next time.
