After the showers, Altocumulus clouds continue to sweep across the sky with the wind, and the sunlight shines through the clouds, leaving the shadows of the clouds in the world. The golden wheat gently rippled with the direction of the wind, the plump ears were covered with rain, standing on the mound and hanging his head and looking into the distance, the wheat gently swept the tip of Lu Yuan's nose, crispy and numb, like a burst of electricity, itching from the skin to the soul.

He stretched out his hand to remove the wheat in front of him, and the bright autumn sun shone through the cracks in the clouds, and the scenery of the plains was full of harvests.

"Lu Yuan, look at that! Hawk! She shouted.

Lu Yuan stood up straight when he heard the sound, and a gust of wind came from afar, blowing the wheat waves and her long flowing hair, and at that moment, it seemed that the whole world was still.

And not far away, on the cobblestone embankment, an eagle flapped its wings and flew towards the sun, hidden in the clouds.

"Look, that eagle!" She trampled on the dirt after the autumn rain and chased the eagle that flew high without a trace.

"Wait!" Lu Yuan just stretched out his hand, but thousands of golden lights tore through the clouds, and the eternal sun instantly sprinkled light and heat on the world, it burned majestically, swelled, and the irresistible heat roasted and melted every inch of Lu Yuan's skin.

Like an eagle, destined to die in the sun.

……

"Chirp~~" The eagle's unique chirping sound disturbed Lu Yuan's thoughts. Of course, he didn't have an eagle standing next to him, but he was in the belly of the eagle, just above the planet's high orbit.

The Horned Eagle-type orbital transport ship, including Lu Yuan, the 28th Orbital Paratrooper Brigade, and hundreds of heavily armed paratroopers are all in the belly of this vicious bird.

The Flesh Horned Eagle, the Mechanical Horned Eagle, in a sense, is exactly the same.

They are eternally bloodthirsty.

Never be satisfied.

Only a few lights lit up in the dim cabin, and a flicker of light passed over the rows of orbital paratroopers in airborne combat suits. Although the visible visor obscured his face, Lu Yuan's cold black eyes were like engine flames outside the global fighter, burning and deadly.

War.

Never stops.

"Alert, enemy surface air defense is deployed, the ship is entering a high orbit, and the airdrop will begin in thirty minutes." The broadcast in the cabin sounded lifelessly, and Lu Yuan stood up with the paratrooper honor dagger in his hand and spoke loudly.

"This operation must crush the enemy's resistance with the greatest courage and determination, capture the Star Monument Fortress, and provide ground guidance for the fleet's return jump! After this battle, we will be able to go home! ”

"Paratroopers!" Lu Yuan shouted.

"Is there anyone else who has to hand in a suicide note?!"

There was silence.

"Good."

Lu Yuan sat down, tapped the sensor glove, and activated the combat system self-test again, although the battle had long been fused into his bone marrow, he would always have only one life.

Shaking his head, dispelling a slight sense of dizziness, Lu Yuan knew that this was the aftermath of the fierce battle of the escort fleet fighting desperately in orbit in the planet, maybe in the next second, an antimatter annihilation cannon would hit this transport ship, annihilating everyone into ashes in the blink of an eye.

The real horror is not necessarily death, but waiting for death, after many years in the army, Lu Yuan has ignored too many emotions that are not related to the battle, and only at the moment before rushing to death, Lu Yuan allowed himself to recall those increasingly blurred memories.

So Lu Yuan remembered that the night before the expedition, he asked his friend to sell his surfboat, and the friend was curious why Lu Yuan wanted to sell this competition-level surfboat with good performance and could easily control the raging waves of the ocean, and he looked at the expeditionary fleet moored in the orbit of the home star, and proudly said that it was his new arena.

Lu Yuan had long forgotten how many home planet standard years this expedition had lasted, but it was definitely in the first year, Lu Yuan understood that war is never a fair game, the opponent will never follow the rules, and there will be no rules, and if you lose, no one will hear your wail floating in the deep air.

Memories are not always good, just like Lu Yuan doesn't know if he has a chance to drink a beer with the money from the sale of his surfboat, and he doesn't want to count how many familiar faces this protracted war has turned into gray statues, Lu Yuan can't remember how many of his comrades-in-arms he has fired ceremonial guns.

Lu Yuan raised his head and looked at the pitch-black cabin roof, and beyond a few centimeters of high-energy alloy, there were absolute zero, gamma rays, ultrafine meteorites, and engine exhaust heat...... Any one of them can easily take away his life, Lu Yuan sighed, his finger tapped his forehead, but he touched the visual armor, and then triggered the task prompt.

Orbital raid on the planet BSC93-7 "Yuehua" is equipped with a star monument coordinate tower fortress equipped with powerful anti-aircraft firepower, the ground star monument is an important basis for judging the precise location of the star field where the fleet is located, there is no doubt that this fortress is full of enemy troops inside and outside, Lu Yuan is not even sure that he will survive the first minute of landing.

Lu Yuan's watch rang twelve times in a row, and although the visual visor had a time display, Lu Yuan was still used to using this watch given to him by his father before leaving, and he looked at the inscription on the watch and recited this sentence silently.

Don't walk gently into that good night.

I'd like to go in for a good night. Lu Yuan thought self-deprecatingly. Like hundreds of thousands of soldiers who served on the space battleship The First Emperor, he encouraged and comforted himself with honor, loyalty, victory, and hometown to support this seemingly never-ending journey.

The fleet has passed through one star field after another, and young people have spilled their blood on the battlefield.

In the Battle of BSJ20-9 Orion, the 28th Orbital Paratrooper Brigade was the first to be airborne, with 87 casualties, and Lu Yuan was promoted to lieutenant.

In the Battle of BSJ21-3c Thorstar, the 28th Orbital Paratrooper Brigade was the first to be airborne, with 141 casualties and the commander killed, represented by Lu Yuan.

In the BSA06-4 Sentinel Campaign, the 28th Orbital Paratrooper Brigade fought for many months, with more than half of the casualties.

Red lightning, cyan ring, this is a paratrooper armband, a bar of three stars, this is Lu Yuan's military rank. Lu Yuan blinked, unable to tell whether the noise in the cabin was the wind or some kind of special whimper. After tonight, if there is still the rest of his life, if he can return to his home planet, Lu Yuan doesn't know how to face it, how to harden his heart, so that he can hand the death notice to those families who have lost their loved ones.

267.

This is the number of death notices Lu Yuan has written, and this is the number of Lu Yuan's comrades-in-arms who are buried in the starry sky and whose souls will never return to their hometowns. This is a number that Lu Yuan will never want to increase again.

Before the expedition, the 300-person paratrooper brigade took a group photo, and later Lu Yuan took off this holographic photo and only hung it in his office, even if Lu Yuan returned to his home planet, he could only find companions there to conquer the sea of stars that he had boasted about.

Countless battles and battles flashed in front of me, and now that I think about it, it seems that there is a mist drifting and covering, no matter how I think about it, it is only superficial, and I am unwilling to dig deeper.

Lu Yuan swept his head over the paratroopers beside him, they were still silent, still believing that they would step towards victory as always, still put their lives in the hands of the commander, and go to smooth the most difficult road, without fear of shedding the most blood.

Lu Yuan suddenly remembered the hibiscus tree outside his own courtyard, every morning, the morning glow gilded the hibiscus flowers with a layer of glow, and the wind blowing from the lake would slightly raise her short hair dyed with pansy purple, even the dawn could not take away her beauty. However, her face, like a hibiscus flower that disappears with the wind, gradually fades away.

"Note that the airdrop will start fifteen minutes later, repeat, the airdrop will start fifteen minutes later." The radio sounded, so Lu Yuan knew that the time had come

Lu Yuan walked through the cabin, looked at every paratrooper, gave a military salute to each paratrooper, Lu Yuan held the helmet with one hand, and his roar drowned out all the noise: "Brothers, do you know what we are going to face!! ”

"Enemy!" The paratroopers responded in unison.

"Does everyone know what we're going to do!"

"Fight!"

"Tell me, what's waiting for us!"

"Victory !!".

"Tell me, what is the creed of the orbital paratroopers!" Lu Yuan patted the paratrooper armband vigorously and shouted.

"Everything!"

"Fearless !!" The paratroopers shouted.

Lu Yuan left all his emotions behind, he only needed the purest faith, to fight, to kill, to win.

Go home.

"Then cheer up the spirits! Battle Attire! ”

Under Lu Yuan's order, the paratroopers quickly equipped the POA3 airborne combat suits, put pieces of high-strength bulletproof armor into the vital parts of the combat uniforms, held the caseless rifle diagonally, and put the short sword of honor into the cuirass. Born for the homeland, died for the war!

"Set up the anti-stress system! Closed combat suit outside auxiliary anti-gravity device! ”

The manipulator to which the seat belongs has adjusted the parameters of the combat suit, the track anti-compression mode is turned on so that the paratroopers can withstand the severe overload pressure, and a delicate and compact gravity pump is placed in the waist slot of the combat suit to ensure the high mobility of the paratroopers after landing.

"Wake up the combat armament, warm up the power armor, and bind into the attached drop pod!"

Under the deck, a combat robot with an electromagnetic cannon on its shoulder and a plasma hilt is loaded into the weapon bay along with the power armor holding the halberd.

Gradually like a sleeping dragon opening its eyes, the cabin is red at first, and the palpitating breath permeates every corner.

"Enter the personnel to deliver the vehicle!" The seats in the cabin were unfolded, and there were teardrop-shaped drop cabins, and the paratroopers looked at each other through the heavy cabin boards, their eyes firm.

The broadcast was connected to the drop pod, and the mechanical female voice was constantly announced: "Attention, attention, the airdrop will begin in five minutes, please confirm with the commander." ”

Lu Yuan knocked down the confirmation heavily, and the rows of airdrop capsules were hoisted to the predetermined position along the chute, the hatch slowly opened, and Lu Yuan looked at the dim and infinite space outside, he would pass through the orbit of the planet that was fighting fiercely, through the low-earth orbit where the atmosphere was gradually dense, and rush through the atmosphere to the ground.

And Lu Yuan knew that he was ready.

"Attention, attention, the airdrop will start in a minute, repeat, the airdrop will start in a minute, countdown, 59 seconds, 58 seconds......" The countdown goes to the end.

"Countdown, 30 seconds, recoil engine overlays the thermal barrier module."

"Countdown, 10 seconds, seat flip, start anti-overload pressure."

"Countdown, 5 seconds," Lu Yuan said with a terrifying number on the altimeter in his hand: "34,122 kilometers."

"Countdown, 2 seconds, main engine ignition."

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Brothers, ......"

"We'll see you on the ground."

"Countdown, 1 second. Accelerator launch and ......"

"See you in hell!"

The mechanical female voice remains the same: "Putting people." ”

The ship was empty, and the hanging rope swayed slightly, and if there were still a couple of lovers embracing each other under the night sky on this war-torn planet, they would soon be able to see a magnificent scene from behind each other's shoulders: hundreds, thousands of meteors coming in splendidly.

It's just that they don't have a chance to make a wish.

Enemy fighters hovering in mid-orbit guarded the mothership, and the pilots stared at the blazing trails, and then pressed down the nose of the plane and dived away like a fish in the water.

But they couldn't catch up.

"30,000 kilometers! Second thruster, afterburner! A blue flame suddenly erupted outside the airdrop capsule, the airdrop capsule trembled suddenly, and the speedometer had already broken through the Mach 30 mark, but it was still accelerating! The rising overload and high G gradually twisted Lu Yuan's internal organs into a ball.

The night sky was icy blue, and the light from countless stars shone brightly.

"20,000 kilometers! Control, 1C mode! The second thruster that ran out of fuel was separated and thrown, Lu Yuan's throat was full of blood, and the stronger and stronger inertia force wanted to flatten his whole person, Lu Yuan seemed to hear the sound of the sternum sinking down, and heard his own heavy gasp of "snort", and then he completely fell into blackness.

"10,000 kilometers! Cabin pressure control! The unbearable overload of gravity was depriving Lu Yuan of his consciousness little by little, and the dazzling and dim light passed alternately round after round, but it could not illuminate the almost faint paratroopers in the cabin.

The darkness was fading, and the line between blue and dark was being swept swiftly.

"5000 km! Cabin temperature control! "Even a teardrop of the god Zeus is better than the stars when it falls into the sky, and the atmosphere rubs against the bulkhead at great speed, burning a raging tail flame, and the cabin is instantly in a furnace.

The scorching heat scorched every piece of Lu Yuan's skin, but Lu Yuan insisted on holding his head high and opening his eyes, he wanted to be awake and step into the world!

"2000 km, low earth orbit! Get into the range of enemy anti-aircraft artillery! "The anti-orbital artillery on the ground is raging, just like a knight will never stop before an archer throws a rain of arrows, not a single paratrooper chooses to fall in a roundabout way, they are disdainful, they are proud! They come from heaven, and the arrows of the earth are doomed to be in vain, and they despise and despise!

"500 km! Recoil engine ignition! "The top of the drop pod is detached from the heat shield, and the recoil vent emits a blue flame, melting the ablative material like butter, and in just a few seconds, sparse clouds, thunderstorms, and then clouds!

"100 km! Prepare to ram! The Kármán line crossed suddenly, the seat was straightened, and at the moment before the blood poured into his head, Lu Yuan held the rifle first!

"Boom !!Boom Boom Boom" The drop pod slammed to the ground, setting off an unparalleled shock wave, and countless people who were frantically fleeing under the meteor suddenly bowed down in one direction, and the air wave was wrapped in smoke and dust in the sky, announcing.

They have their feet on the ground!

Step into hell!

"Get out of the cabin!" No matter how majestic the impact of the landing is, it is impossible to stop the paratroopers, a stream of hot steam burns the face armor, sparks fall like a waterfall, Lu Yuan endured the severe pain and kicked open the hatch, roaring loudly!

The auxiliary gravity pump was unsealed, spewing out two air streams, Lu Yuan directly made a swift super jump, jumping towards the air defense fire control tower not far away, still in mid-air, Lu Yuan was extremely fast three bursts, and before his feet stepped on the top of the tower, he fiercely knocked down all the enemy troops in front of him.

Lu Yuan rolled on the spot, the caseless bullet of the rifle switched to the pulse bullet, stood up, ran to the corner, leaned to the right slightly, the pulse bullet burst out with a strong blue flash, Lu Yuan steadily pressed the back seat of the gun, and the machine gun nest in the corner immediately turned into flying ash. Draw the gun, aim, pull the trigger, control the backseat, all in one go!

Without any words, the paratroopers near Lu Yuan also jumped onto the fire control tower in the face of gunsmoke, killing more than a dozen guards outside the command room one after another. The paratrooper attacker immediately followed, lowered his posture and threw an armor-piercing grenade at the blast door, which was hard to shake by the shaped energy cone generated by the special grenade, and it was shattered like paper paste when Lu Yuan hit it.

At the moment of breaking the door, the support hands behind Lu Yuan quickly threw out the stun marker bullets, and the visual visor ignored the light wavewave that was enough to temporarily blind and deaf, and accurately marked a bright red humanoid pattern, and when the clarity was restored in front of him, the ground was full of corpses that had been pierced by Lu Yuan's gun!

"Get moving! Move it! Time is of the essence! Lu Yuan shouted, and the crowd gave way to the technical sergeant to let him deploy the portable electronic countermeasure device.

Paratroopers with special equipment paratroopers parachuted around the fire control tower replaced with enemy air defense beacons and their own hardware. Time flies, and if you are in the enemy's nest, it is a great danger to delay even one more second. The technical sergeant quickly debugged the information intrusion instrument, turned on the power, intercepted the enemy's signal, and as long as he went in the dark, the central fire control control tower of the fortress was under control, and then he could control the fortress's anti-air defense!

Lu Yuan glanced outside the broken blast door, the night was bright, and the god Zeus threw down his scepter, turned into lightning, and struck the strongest fortress on earth!
