The Covenant, Rusta, an important military stronghold on the second line of defense behind the Ann Rasol Line, was not so long ago an unknown abandoned garbage star, not even a planet frequented by garbage carriers.

After the mysterious disappearance of the ship in the defense area of Allasol, the second line of defense took on a huge defensive pressure.

Two small reconnaissance ships entered the Rusta space docking site as one of the second lines of defense between the Covenant and the public star field, and the original junk star was transformed into an important military base planet after the outbreak of war.

The hull shell of the small reconnaissance ship was covered with scars, the traces of attack were very obvious, and one of the battleships had a broken wing on one side, losing a third of its length.

It looks very embarrassing.

"Reconnaissance ships of the twelfth formation of the Border Guards No. ZC126 and ZC129 requested access to the Rusta Repair Center"

"Two reconnaissance ships in one formation?"

"Recently, the border area has been very unstable, and the theater of operations has been further expanded, and I heard that a large number of reconnaissance ships have been dispatched to conduct investigations and sweeps, and the losses have been heavy. ”

"Yes, the combat power of the Imperial Expeditionary Force is really terrifying, I heard that if you encounter it, you will not be able to return with all your beards and tails, and recently there is news that the ships of the Expeditionary Force have appeared on nearby planets, which has caused a lot of pressure on the border guards, otherwise they would not have sent so many reconnaissance ships. ”

Day and night, in addition to the Zerg and the Imperial Expeditionary Force, there is not a day of peace on the border line.

Speaking of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, there is not a single soldier in the coalition forces on the border line who does not gasp, and for the inhabitants of the various planets on the border line, the Imperial Expeditionary Force is a dark ghostly and terrifying existence.

The workers at the tower uploaded the request as they spoke, and after a few moments, they checked the access request and saw the green traffic sign that allowed passage light up.

"Numbers ZC126 and ZC129 are allowed to enter, please cooperate with the tower command to prepare to enter the orbit of the satellite. ”

Everything was ready, and the reconnaissance ship slid into orbit into the star.

The Star Shield, which encloses the entire planet, opens a gap here.

In the captain's secret room in the cockpit of the bridge of the ZC126 reconnaissance ship, two people of the same length stood facing each other, one of them was calm and relaxed, and the other was bound by metal ropes and nailed to the wall, looking anxious and frightened.

"Rusta Star is one of the most important military repair centers in the border defense line, there are advanced and complete logistics maintenance equipment, the top engineers, engineers, mechanics, responsible for ensuring the post-war repair of the surrounding army ships and pre-war maintenance, a particularly important place, do you think?"

"Hmm... Uh-huh..."

The captain who kept spilling blood from the corners of his mouth squeaked and shook his head, unable to say a complete sentence, his face was frightened, defeated, and angry intertwined.

"Because it's important, we've planned many raids and raids that haven't succeeded, and the defense line is stubborn like the old immortal faces of the Star Alliance, what do you think?"

Looking at the face that was exactly the same as himself, he smugly mocked the captain in front of him, and the struggle like a madness had no effect other than to make a few more blood marks on his body.

"The orbit is open, we will soon enter Rusta, what do you think I will do, I have some expectations, what about you?"

The captain's eyes glared and his veins burst.

At this time, the captain's secret room was knocked open, "Report to the captain, the escort team at the in-star orbit checkpoint will board the ship for inspection." ”

The captain's eyes flashed with hope.

The person who came was wearing the uniform of the Star Alliance fleet, but when he spoke, he stared at the fake captain, and his tone was normal, but his eyes and words were clearly warning.

"Captain, we still have a task to do, waiting for the captain's order. ”

The fake captain shrugged, "Okay, it's important to get down to business, I'll relax when the mission is done." ”

The captain watched as his first mate appeared until the hatch closed again, the gap closed, and the glimmer of hope in his eyes was extinguished once more.

"It's funny, you think you know people who you know are not what you think they are. After the fake captain finished speaking, he slowly walked out of the secret room, "Don't worry, I left you a gift, enjoy it." ”

When stepping out of the captain's secret room, the temperament and demeanor of the fake captain immediately changed, and even the subtle movements when walking, the stride span, posture, and expression management were no different from the real captain.

The smug smile before disappeared.

The aircraft in charge of boarding and security checks docked with the reconnaissance ship, and the combat robots, led by a sergeant and two corporals, entered the ship to begin the inspection.

The fake captain makes eye contact with the first mate.

The captain in the secret room looked at the live broadcast monitoring screen that was specially left in front of him, and struggled like crazy, regardless of the blood marks on his body and the severed flesh, but no matter how he shouted, he couldn't make a complete sound, and no one heard his heart-rending shout.

He could only watch everything happen, but there was nothing he could do.

The live surveillance footage was flooded with blood.

"Rusta, an important stronghold of the Covenant's border defense, has lost contact with the Covenant!"

"Does the loss of contact with Rusta mean the collapse of the inner defense line of the Star Alliance?"

"The border planet has been lost repeatedly, where else can we retreat?"

“......”

This was obviously an internal military secret of the Star Alliance Coalition, but it became an eye-catching headline on the major news websites of the Star Network less than a day after the incident, and the blood-red headline stimulated the eyes and the already restless hearts of the citizens of the Star Alliance.

If someone had said a few years ago that the Covenant would be in the midst of all-out war, they would have been dismissed as insane.

If a few years ago someone had said that the Covenant would fall apart and that the era of peace would end once and for all, the citizens of the Covenant would have fallen into an era of war and chaos in which the country was divided and wars were raging, no one would have believed it.

If someone said a few years ago that the Zerg could open up the spatial channel between the Zerg and the Star Alliance and migrate on a large scale, and the Weilan Empire would sentence the Star Alliance and the Zerg to collude and start the road of aggression and expansion, it would definitely be considered conspiracy theorism, or even considered a brain problem.

The Star Alliance is synonymous with peace, and even small-scale disputes cannot stop history from moving forward in the general direction of peace, harmony and progress.

Eating, going to school, going to work, playing games, going to the star network, interstellar travel, and multiplying, most of the citizens of the Star Alliance will spend their lives in peace and happiness step by step.

But all this was completely wiped out with the appearance of the ring light belt, and it became a thing of the past.

In just a few years, the Star Alliance has experienced violent turmoil that has not been seen for hundreds or even thousands of years, and the citizens of the Star Alliance, who have long been accustomed to a peaceful and smooth life, have to start facing reality, this is not a dream, it is not a game that can be taken offline at any time in the Star Network, nor is it an eight-o'clock war drama where the protagonist will definitely win, but a real reality.

When the war breaks out, whether they are willing or unwilling, everyone will passively participate in this war in various capacities.

No one is immune.

The recruiting office welcomes a large number of applicants every day, and even those who are not eligible for recruitment can become an honorable volunteer.

"The front line needs soldiers, you are an important part of the logistics support for soldiers, everyone will shine in their respective posts, in order to defend their homes, in order to protect their families, for their own future, fight, no matter what form you contribute your strength, we need you!"

The volunteer recruitment point of the military enlistment office is giving an impassioned mobilization speech.

The loudspeaker flew in the air, transmitting his voice to all corners of the square, and even used the 'strong sound' function at a great price, even if the user who logged in to the star network chose to block the external interference, he could not avoid the forced audio reminder.

However, the flow of people who landed on the star network at this time of day was almost attracted by the ring light curtain on the news square.

The Star Network was not deserted by the outbreak of war, but became more lively because of this, and it was the most convenient way to bring everyone in the vast territory of the Covenant together.

The area that can still log in to the star network means that it is relatively safe and stable, and every day every interstellar standard day someone will be disconnected, and there are individual areas that lose the signal of the star network and can no longer log in online, which mostly means that it has fallen.

Checking the login area map has become a new habit for many Starnet users, and they look at it every day to pray for themselves and others.

The loss of contact with a planet is really nothing new in times of war, and the reason why the loss of contact with Rusta can cause an uproar and even panic on the star network is not only because of the particularity of its military base, but also because of its geographical location.

"Rusta is located in the second line of defense after the defense line of Allasol, which is the location of this little red dot, it is already in the territory of the Star Alliance, if it quietly falls or even falls, does it mean that the Imperial Expeditionary Force can easily contribute to any planet he wants to contribute.

Is there any planet on the border that can stop and avoid the Imperial Expeditionary Force, and if you think farther, does that mean that the Imperial Expeditionary Force has torn open the defenses, and the hinterland of the Star Covenant is still safe?"

On the circular light curtain of the news square, the host pointed to the star map and said with spittle, and the subdued tone and the background sound of the explosion made this passage sound less like a news broadcast and more like a deliberate threat.

"This host made his debut by telling horror stories, right?" Under the circular light curtain in the square, two people, a man and a woman, stood side by side, looking at the light curtain with the rest of the crowd, and the sound of gasping in their ears rang out from time to time.

"If the news is so hot, if it's just the handiwork of the Weilan Empire and the Zerg, wouldn't that group of people in the Star Alliance be too stupid?"

"I don't know if it's stupid or not, I just know that the Allamore defense line has now become a dead place where no fleet dares to approach, and the Imperial Expeditionary Force is ambushing in this area, and it seems that it has the absolute initiative, but the remnants of the expeditionary force have actually been trapped in the defense line, and sooner or later it will become a turtle in an urn, and the danger of trouble is not invincible.

Part of the main fleet of the Covenant Coalition was trapped in the war zone, and there was no news of it, and it was still trapped in the lost land of the front war zone of Allasol.

The other part attacked the border defense of the Weilan Empire from the other side, and the results are not bad so far, but this has also led to the weakness of the rear defense line, if the Zerg attack on a large scale, once the entry point is found, it will be a real danger. ”

The Covenant's territory is too large, and it is difficult for the troops to be dispersed and protected everywhere, but the Zerg are good at being elusive, and they have invasion methods that are difficult for humans to match.

Betty and Luo Haifeng have not logged in to the Star Network in the mode of the link cabin for a long time.

I didn't expect to see a big news as soon as I entered the star network.

"Let's go, it's almost time. ”

Betty and Luo Haifeng went to the teleportation point, entered the coordinates, and were teleported to the designated coordinate location with the flash of white light.

This is a prosperous street where people come and go, even in the star network is not safe, the hacker who can take people's lives in the star network has been confirmed, and the two of them are also very defensive along the way, and they have not relaxed their vigilance in the slightest.

Crossing the shopping street, entering a relatively secluded laneway, lined with houses on both sides, the two walked to the end of the street and turned around from the left side of the stairs, all the way down.

When you open the door to what appears to be a private house, you will find that it is actually an underground tavern.

As soon as you step through the tavern door, the light instantly dims, and the strong smell of alcohol, sweat, and tobacco makes the already small space even more suffocating.

Betty and Luo Haifeng walked through the crowd and walked into a room in a hurry, the cold breath and clean smell made the two of them take a deep breath and feel much better.

There was no one in the room, and Betty was used to this joint.

"She doesn't show up every time?"

"The name iceberg didn't come for nothing. ”

........................ The faceless dividing line is dispatched again..................

(The following content will be repeated, don't panic It will be replaced with the text tomorrow, it's too late, there are still about five hundred left) The bottom of the volcano in the Angoa Mountains,

Mo Ye has gone deep into the ground for 10,000 meters, and the deeper he goes, the more red crystals that fall off freely, the more Red Crystals he has freely fallen.

These crimson crystals were indeed the food of the magma monsters, as Ink Night had guessed, and it was these crystals that the creatures that suddenly appeared fed on them, absorbing the energy in them and causing them to grow rapidly.

The pure fire elemental energy in the crystal is the nutrient for the magma monster to quickly grow into a fierce beast.

The energy source of these red crystals is the fire element energy released by the volcanic magma, which is produced for some reason when the volcano erupts, and they continue to absorb the fire element energy inside the volcano and filter and compress them, and finally fall off naturally after maturity and become the food of the magma monsters, while protecting the various plants inside the volcano.

This is a naturally occurring ecological cycle within the volcano, during which energy is converted and multiplied.

Ink Night descended the winding caverns in the mountains, and encountered many magma monsters during the process, and these strange creatures were all killed and turned into magma into the cracks of the mountain, which made Ink Night wonder if these creatures were really dead or just returned to their original state.

Mo Ye stood in the cave of the mountain wall and looked down, and at this time he could clearly see the magma below, and the rolling magma was like a rushing river flowing at the bottom of the abyss, bubbling and tumbling
