Chapter 1: The Fall of the Empire Wedge

Ephemeris 4819, the main star of the Compbertan system.

"General! Team Kanel has sent a request for support, please give instructions! ”

"General! The 3510th Regiment of the fortress has sent a request for support, please give instructions! ”

"General! The temporary base on the left front has been breached! Please place a transfer order! ”

The man known as the general was driving an iron horse with black and silver wings at this time to fight among tens of thousands of alliance mecha - or unilateral torture is more appropriate - after all, encountering a man known as the "emperor ** god" on the battlefield has always been a nightmare for the alliance army.

And now, this man who had given nightmares to almost every Alliance soldier was caught off guard by a mouthful of blood from his chest after defeating another round of crowd tactics.

"Your Highness!" The warning lights inside the mecha were all on in an instant, and the red light flickered on the man's slightly pale face, which looked a little weird.

No one would have thought that the rumored first general of the empire, Ludwig Boero, the "emperor **god" who terrified the enemy on the battlefield, would have such a wolf moment!

"Shut up Baharut!" The god of war slammed down hard at the control platform, "I'm not dead yet, turn off your ridiculous alarms!" ”

"But Your Highness...... "The mecha called Baharut hesitated for less than a second, and was immediately forced to carry out the instructions given by the pilot—the other party's mental threshold was too high, and it was difficult for a mecha like it to make any disobedience after receiving the order.

After the alarm was lifted, Ludwig let out another mouthful of blood, and after warning Baharut not to say more, he answered the internal communication request from his subordinates.

"General, the alarm ...... in Baharut just now"

"I'm fine. Horn, how many people are left in Kanel's squad? The voice of the military god was calm and stiff, echoing throughout the military channel. The voice seemed to have the magic of soothing people's hearts, and the imperial soldiers who had just been shaken by the loss of the commander were almost instantly reassured.

After all, this man is the faith of the empire! As long as he is there, no one can shake the qiē that belongs to the empire!

"Report! The Carnell team...... "Horn suddenly choked up, and he couldn't make a sound for several times, "Report to the general, the Kanel team, the whole army is annihilated!" ”

"What about the support forces? Which unit is in charge of supporting?! ”

"General Hui is an independent legion led by Commander Kaz."

"Pick me up Kaz!" Ludwig was furious.

An independent regiment can't protect an intelligence team, this regiment commander simply don't take it!

"General," Bahamut hesitated to speak, "Commander Kaz, he cut off the communication ......"

On the battlefield, he voluntarily cut off the communication connection with the commander, and all the people who heard this in the military channel knew what it meant - Kaz was afraid that he had defected.

Defections are too common in this war, and if it weren't for this, the expeditionary force ten years ago would not have ......

The sound of fighting and metal colliding on the battlefield was all over the sky, but the inside of the emperor ** was terrifyingly quiet.

No one knows what the general thinks about this mutiny at a critical time, more and more mecha ships are coming over this planet, and the alliance forces are determined to bury their bones here today.

After the mysterious silence, the deep voice of the god of war once again spread through the inner line of all the Imperial soldiers on the battlefield of Combertan, echoing in their mechs: "Everyone, are you afraid? ”

There was silence in the channel.

No one dared to say that they were afraid, but no one said that they were not afraid. This war means death. Even if they are ready to die for the country, no one dares to say that they are completely fearless in the face of real death.

"Guys, I'm scared. I was so scared that my hands were trembling, my heart was beating three times as fast as usual, my back was drenched in cold sweat - I knew exactly what was waiting for me in front of me. ”

"But I know more clearly that if I retreat from fear at this moment, then what awaits our country, what awaits our people!"

"Soldiers, what awaits us is death; But if we are afraid, if we retreat from the soldiers, what awaits our Motherland will be the doom of the destruction of the country! ”

"I, Ludwig Boero, swear today by the flesh and blood of my parents and the glory of the gifts of the Empire:

I will let the war end in this land, and let the trumpet of peace resound throughout the universe;

I will bring the souls of the heroes buried in a foreign land back to their homeland, so that the footsteps of death will no longer invade our people.

As the war continues and the smoke fills the air, I would like to turn into a light that pierces the darkness and bring hope back to the ruins of the former city-state;

The light returns, the stars rise again, death is no longer a despair that can shackle the footsteps, and the light of glory is bound to return to the crown of the Empire.

The stars, the sun and the moon, the earth and the sky bear witness to me,

The empire is undefeated.

Raise your head to the starry sky, and swear to be immortal,

Haoyu creatures are eternal.

The boy of Borero is here today to sacrifice his flesh and blood - to live and die with the Empire! ”

Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go.

As soon as the oath fell, the violent mecha moved at an incredible speed on the battlefield, and the blade of the Holy Judgment belonging to the god-level mecha Bahamut continued to swing and fall, and the light from the universe reflected a platinum-gold light on this divine weapon that represented the ultimate in alchemy.

Blood continued to spill from the corners of Ludwig's mouth, and at the same time, all the mental devices in Bahamut's cockpit sounded a piercing alarm, and he destroyed Bahamut's speech system, and the mental output was maxed out in an instant with the pain of his internal organs being shattered......

This war, which has lasted for nearly 100 years, is coming to an end.

All the leaders of the Allied Powers who focused on this war had prepared to celebrate in advance, and the counterattack displayed by the other side at this time was only a reflection of the dying in the future.

In the year 4819 of the Ephemeris, Ludwig Boero, the first general of the Boero Empire, was killed in battle, and 150,000 imperial cavalry were wiped out.

The following year, the Coalition captured the planet of Boero, and the Emperor died on his throne, his body exiled to the depths of the universe by the winds of the abyss.

The once-prosperous empire has fallen completely.

***

Ephemeris 4820, Boero the Emperor.

The once prosperous imperial capital is now only in ruins, and the burning flames indicate that it has just been invaded by war. There was only the silence of death between heaven and earth, and the only thing that could still make a sound was the half-destroyed but still working antique radio.

In the midst of the ruins, a hand slowly reached into the sky, but finally fell weakly.

The inferior sound of the radio echoed in the open ground, slowly mixed with a few small whimperes.

Five months ago, the Alliance breached the last line of defense of the Empire, and all of the people of the Emperor were forced to take up arms to make a last stand to defend their homeland.

In a world where everyone is divided by sentinels, guides, and ordinary people, the First and Third Legions, which have assembled almost all of the Empire's best sentinels, died in the war that shocked the entire galaxy a year ago. And the only ones left behind by the Emperor Star were some old, weak and disabled sentinels of the Second Legion and guides who had never been considered combat effectiveness, and even more were tens of millions of ordinary people.

How can this withstand the Alliance Iron Riders equipped with the most advanced mechs!

Ye Zhao was lucky to survive the air raid of the mecha ship that had just passed, but he was also crushed by the heavy armor that walked by in the chaos. The blood was draining rapidly, and he felt like his whole body was about to freeze, barely a trace of blood on his face.

Leaning on the corpse of his deceased comrade-in-arms, Ye Zhao closed his eyes......

He's a guide.

In an era when the number of guides was dwindling, and even those who had been captured by the Allies were treated at the highest level, it would have sounded unthinkable to others that a guide would appear on the battlefield and be about to die due to blood loss.

However, Ye Zhao understood that he was not the same as those real guides.

Although he was identified as having a guide constitution at birth, the ensuing ability test proved that the ability in his body was extremely unstable and could go berserk at any time.

The Guide is naturally paired with a Sentinel and has the ability to calm the Sentinel's feelings.

And a Guide with the ability to run amok at any moment is the equivalent of a complete scrap of wood.

So it was no surprise that he was thrown into the battlefield when the war came. The illustrious family background did not protect him until the last moment, and like many people who were forced to go to the battlefield, Ye Zhao still ushered in his last fate - death.

Tears slipped from the closed eyes, willingly?

Unwilling......

After so many years of wastewood, the whole empire knows that he is the little young master of the Ye family who can't support the wall, and over time, even he thinks so.

finally went to the battlefield like a real man, and in the end he could only die like this, watching his family and country being invaded but helpless, Ye Zhao never hated his powerlessness like now.

If...... It would be nice if I could be like that man......

A year ago, the nation was shocked when the news of the total annihilation of the two elite legions in the Cumberton system came back, and no one believed that the god-like man would die so lightly.

How could Ludwig Boero, the man who seemed to be an imperial believer, fall so lightly......

Five months later, the moment the Alliance's iron cavalry broke through the country, everyone was forced to recognize this reality - the former first general of the empire, the faith of the empire, is really gone.

Ye Zhao opened his eyes with difficulty, looked at his soft hand hanging by his side, shook it weakly, and released it weakly.

He tugged at the corners of his mouth: Look, I'm always so useless.

Feeling the breath of life in his body dissipating little by little, he suddenly thought, in fact, death may be a relief for a waste like him, right?

Someone as powerful as a general is dead, what is the point of a person like him living?

Just really......

I'm so unwilling......

"My child, aren't you reconciled?"

"So, do it all over again, what will you do......"
