Prologue - Battle of Carthage

Next Chapter

In the year 2199 of the RX era, a certain celestial region in the third sector of the Earthsphere was bathed in war, shimmering with the light of the loss of life.

A month ago, Keanu, who developed a "humanoid vehicle weapon" for the "Holy Roman Empire of the Universe". Dr. Lang defected to the "Carthage" colonial satellite affiliated with the Star Alliance, and was protected by the Star Alliance and other forces. The "Holy Roman Empire of the Universe" has repeatedly demanded that the Covenant and other forces will Keanu. Dr. Lang returned it to them, but they were all refused.

In order to create pressure, the "Holy Roman Empire of the Universe" sent its main fleet to the third sector where the "Carthage" colonial satellite is located, and in response, the major forces of the Star Alliance and the earth also continuously transported space warships to the third sector.

Finally, after the diplomatic battle was ineffective, the war broke out.

This is the first time that human beings have broken out in a formal war in the universe, although they have already glimpsed what it looks like from countless "legends": it is terrifying, and it will destroy civilization like a storm......

The Holy Roman Empire of the Universe, which was the initiator of the war, had only one-fifth the size of the alliance of powers. Under the command of Vice Admiral Pyrrhus of the Star Alliance, the Alliance forces calmly fanned out, gradually putting pressure on the fleet of the "Holy Roman Empire of the Universe".

In the face of the alliance's dense shipborne laser cannons, and hundreds of warplanes shuttling across the battlefield. The "Holy Roman Empire of the Universe" has lost nearly half of its warships, and the number of remaining warplanes is less than 10%, so it can only retreat in disarray.

Faced with the current form, Lieutenant General Pyrrhus sat in the flagship and took a sip of coffee with satisfaction. It is believed that in the near future, these cosmic barbarians under the guise of the "Holy Roman Empire" will be wiped out, and the Star Alliance can take the first step to kill its capital satellite "New Rome" and redivide the cosmic power map.

"Lieutenant General! Brigadier Shepard contact! ”

"Take it in!"

A footage of Brigadier General Shepard, who was a few years older than Lieutenant General Pyrrhus, was projected onto the secondary screen.

"Your Excellency, Vice Admiral, the enemy has led us between the two meteorite belts, please inform the fleets to be careful!"

"Got it, you continue to command the battle!"

Lieutenant General Pyrrhus turned off the video, and as a long-time colleague, he knew that Brigadier Shepard was too cautious and hesitant before the battle. So he didn't take it to heart. What is most needed now is to destroy the remnants of the enemy as soon as possible, and not to slow down.

"Lieutenant General! A number of battleships on the left flank NEU were attacked! ”

"Lieutenant General! The right flank multinational fleet is attacked! 2 battleships have already been destroyed! ”

"What!?" Lieutenant General Pyrrhus panicked and spilled coffee on his uniform, but he didn't bother to deal with it. He stood up and asked the signal corps: "Did the enemy hide the fighter behind a meteorite before the battle?" Let all the fighters in reserve come out! ”

"Not a fighter, Your Excellency! It's the enemy's...... Humanoid Combat Vehicles! ”

Some images are projected onto the screen, and in the extremely low visibility of the universe, the pitch-black humanoid weapons gradually become clear, appearing on the camera like the Grim Reaper. Their targets were the bridges of each battleship, destroying them before they could react.

"Fighters! Put the reserve fighters into battle! Bastard! Inform the commanders to be prepared for flank attacks, these things are nothing more than toys and are vulnerable! ”

Lieutenant General Pyrrhus slammed his fist on the table, he was not unprepared for the enemy's hand, so he left a lot of fighters in reserve. But what he didn't expect was that the "Holy Roman Empire of the Universe" had already developed humanoid weapons that only appeared in "legends", and there were so many of them.

"Bastard!"

Lieutenant General Pyrrhus suddenly stood up, he understood something. As the chief scientist of the "Holy Roman Empire of the Universe", Keanu. It is impossible for Dr. Lang not to know the progress of the development of the "Holy Roman Empire of the Universe". It's a trap! He knew from the beginning that the humanoid weapon had been put into mass production, and his defection was a conspiracy to deceive the fleets of various forces into this battlefield!

But the corners of his mouth soon showed a contemptuous smile again, and he sat down calmly. In fact, before the war, he and military experts from various countries had studied the materials of humanoid weapons, including Keanu. Dr. Lang did not give an explanation. In the eyes of military experts from various countries, this is just another toy made by the "Holy Roman Empire of the Universe" in a frenzy driven by ignorant credulity in the content of "legends". Under the missiles of warplanes and the laser cannons of battleships, these little children's toys will be vulnerable.

"Lieutenant General! News came from the front line that our fighters could not destroy the humanoid weapon! 20 warplanes have already been destroyed! More than a dozen battleships were sunk! ”

"What!? No way...... Can naval guns hit those things? ”

"They reacted so fast! Our army's radar cannot detect it! ”

Before Lieutenant General Pyrrhus could think about countermeasures, he heard the voice of the signal corps.

"A red, high-speed humanoid weapon is approaching our ship! The speed is ...... 3 ...... of the average fighter No, 6x faster! ”

Vice Admiral Pyrrhus looked ahead, only to see a red meteor passing through the Alliance's group of warships at unimaginable speed on the battlefield where lasers and explosions intertwined, becoming clearer and clearer.

"Hurry ......"

Before Lieutenant General Pyrrhus could spit out the second word, a red humanoid weapon that seemed to be burning appeared in front of the bridge, grabbed it with a cannon in hand, and pulled the trigger......

On the battlefield of the 3rd War Zone, there is no longer a flickering fire.

All that remains is the shattered wreckage of the warships of both sides and the corpses of the fallen soldiers wrapped in icy spacesuits, floating like dust in the universe.

Sunlight appeared from behind the Earth, reflected on a tattered spacesuit helmet visor, followed by the Moon, and behind the Moon, an incomplete Planet of Steel.
