The vast starry sky of the universe contains countless unknown existences that are completely incomprehensible to humans, such as the wasteland.

The wasteland is an ancient star field, there is a huge black hole in the center of the entire wasteland, this black hole named NTO620 occupies 14% of the mass of the entire wasteland, about 660 trillion times the mass of the sun, is the largest black hole found by mankind so far, there are countless structural block stars floating in the wasteland starry sky, these block stars have different shapes and sizes, the smallest is about the size of the planet the size of the earth, and the largest is the planet, the equatorial length is up to 16.4 light years.

These buildings of different sizes and shapes floating in the wasteland starry sky are called wasteland continents by humans, and most of them are irregular and variable, and a few are spherical or cone-shaped. At present, humans have discovered a total of 373 large planetary wasteland continents with an equatorial length of more than 10 light-years in the wasteland, and have given them their respective names.

The unknown of the wasteland starry sky is also reflected in the strange species of this starry sky, the wasteland continent gave birth to a variety of animal and plant species, whether it is animals or plants, the evolution speed of this starry sky is extremely fast, hundreds of years, a species that can only survive on the continent can evolve to the extent of wandering the void, become a starry sky beast, the ruler of this starry sky is the evolution of the top starry sky beast.

However, this strange cosmic starry sky has never given birth to a race, and countless extremely powerful individual starry sky beasts have been born in the starry sky, but no powerful race has appeared.

The wasteland starry sky is hundreds of millions of light-years away from the star field where humans are located, but I don't know when the wasteland has formed a natural space channel in the northwest of the storm star field ruled by humans, yes, it is a space channel, not a space wormhole. This natural space passage is called the "Wasteland Path" by humans, and every once in a while, Starry Sky Beasts will pour out of the space passage with a large number of Wasteland Beasts and attack human territory.

To this end, in order to resist the invasion of the Starry Sky Beast, the Zonghe Empire built the world-famous "Ten Thousand Star Chain Chain" fortifications around the "Wasteland" within a range of nearly 100 light years.

The "Chain of Stars" fortifications involve twenty-seven small galaxies, thirteen counties, and tens of thousands of planets armed to the teeth. This military fortification, known as the largest in human history, exhausted the national strength of the Zonghe Empire, and made the comprehensive strength of the Zonghe Empire change from the strongest of the three empires to the weakest of the three empires in just a hundred years.

Guanjiao County is one of the thirteen counties of the "Ten Thousand Star Chain Chain" fortifications, and the location of the desert starry sky is very remote, but even so it belongs to one of the military counties of the Zonghe Empire, according to the reason, the family guarding the thirteen counties is the responsibility of the Zonghe Imperial Valve and the Yipin family, and a second-grade family is not qualified to have a military county of this scale, but three hundred years ago, Xia Shuyuan, the chief engineer of the "Wanxing Chain Chain" defense design, was also the patriarch of the Xia family in the last century, and one of the chief designers of the top ten military facilities of mankind, It is for this reason that the Xia family has the qualification to guard the town of Guanjiao County.

This is also the only military county in the thirteen counties of the "Ten Thousand Star Chain Chain" fortifications that is guarded by the Erpin family.

Looking at the North Star, the gateway to Horn County, a frontier planet.

On the real-scene projection module of the command center, Xia Nanzi, the fourth elder of the Xia family, has an expressionless handsome face, a slender figure like a benchmark, a wheat-colored healthy complexion, and a pair of dark eyes that sometimes flash dark green, giving people a feeling of loneliness and coolness.

Military orders were issued from Xia Nanzi's mouth, and the data on the casualties of the Xia family's army scrolled quickly on the big screen. The rapid depletion of armaments and materials made this battle-hardened general a little moved.

Xia Nanzi turned around and said to his adjutant Xia Miaoxuan: "Inform the family headquarters that the ground mecha unit of Guanjiao County needs reinforcements, at least one legion size. ”

Xia Miaoxuan nodded, turned around and dialed the video communication link of the three elders of the Xia family.

Fuyang County, adjacent to the city.

The Xia family temporarily held an enlarged meeting within the family, and the second elder Xia Shunyou was elected as the acting patriarch, and after arranging a series of deployments for the "Great Swamp Competition", the two elders received a video link request from the military command center of Guanjiao County at the same time

How dare the two elders slack off, they connected the video as soon as possible, and saw Xia Miaoxuan standing in the communication room of the command center like a statue, not happy, not worried, not in a hurry, not anxious, everyone knows Xia Miaoxuan's character, no matter what happens, she has such a look.

"What about the patriarch, why didn't he connect to the video communication link?"

"The patriarch suddenly became seriously ill and is still in a coma, and is now being treated in the hospital."

"As long as you're not dead, connect to his video link." Even when she heard that her father was seriously ill, Xia Miaoxuan's facial expression did not change at all, and she asked to connect to his video link.

So the second elder Xia Shunyou immediately arranged for someone to notify the hospital nursing staff and connected to the video link of the patriarch, in the video, Xia Yongtai's face was burnt, his body was slightly atrophied, and the whole person was unconscious.

Xia Miaoxuan did not ask about the patriarch Xia Yongtai's condition, but passed part of the picture of the Wasteland Star Beast attacking Wangbeixing to the three elders, and at the same time passed the number of casualties and the consumption of combat readiness materials to the three elders, and received:

"Wangbei Star can't hold it, we are ready to evacuate, arrange the support of the family's third mecha legion and the first space fleet, and arrive at Wangji Star in a week, we will organize a new round of defense forces in Wangji Star. The second mecha legion of the family is also ready, the scale of this star beast tide is the strongest in the past hundred years, if the Polar Star is also lost, we can only passively turn to the Zonghe Imperial Government, and the price of asking for help, I think the three elders know better than me. ”

Second Elder Xia Shunyou and Third Elder Xia Weiming's faces instantly became extremely ugly, and the only price for asking for help from the Imperial Government was to give up the right to rule the Gazing Corner County.

The Xia family's resource output in the Jiajiao County reaches half of the entire family every year, but even so, the Xia family still has no hesitation to invest resources in this military county. Why?

It is because the military merits that can be obtained by guarding the Horn County are enough to make any family power in the Zonghe Empire jealous.

Military merit is the only universal means of measurement for the entire human society. As long as things can be born in human society, wealth, rights, privileges, etc., can be exchanged for military merits. The first indicator of the family's judging of power and status is military merit.

Therefore, for the Xia family, all counties can be dispensed with, but the overlooking county must be under the control of the Xia family, which is not only a matter of military merit, but also the glory, inheritance, and reputation of a family.

The third elder Xia Weiming frowned, faintly reading a bad taste of conspiracy, and immediately activated the family's emergency military response plan. The Second Mecha Legion and the Third Mecha Legion drove overnight, and they must arrive at Wangbeixing within the third day, and at the same time asked Xia Miaoxuan to inform the fourth elder Xia Nanzi that they must hold on to Wangbeixing for another three days, and the reinforcements will inevitably arrive after three days.

The instructions of the third elder Xia Weiming can be read by everyone, which is the determination not to give up even an inch of land to the North Star.

Then the third elder Xia Weiming decided to return to the clan overnight, personally followed the First Space Fleet to Wangbeixing to supervise the battle, and made a military order in public to live and die with Wangbeixing.

After hanging up the video link, the third elder Xia Weiming said to everyone in the conference room with a gloomy face:

"Back then, the patriarch Xia Shuyuan named the first planet at the gateway of Guanjiao County as Wangbei Star, but who knows why?"

"Because my foundation with the Terrans of the Empire is just north of this planet! Looking at the north star, the meaning is to watch the northern starry sky and watch the meaning of our human race. "The eldest son of the three elders, Xia Zhenshou, was the first to stand up and ask for his life:

"Dad, you named me Xia Zhenshou, just hoping that I can guard the Xia family, and now, I, Xia Zhenshou, am willing to go to Guanjiao County with my father, and live and die with Wangbeixing, although I am still honored!"

After Xia Zhenshou took the lead, the descendants of the Xia family present asked for orders one after another, asking for reinforcements with the army. The third elder Xia Weiming did not reply to everyone's request directly, but turned to the second elder Xia Shunyou and said:

"The big swamp competition, in fact, the ending has long been doomed, here I ask the second brother to call the shots, as long as the loss is not too ugly, Guanjiao County is not only the foundation of my Xia family, but also related to the overall situation of the safety of my human race, even the fourth elder Xia Nanzi is ready to withdraw the army and retreat to guard the Wangxing Star, which shows that the battle situation is extremely unfavorable."

"I'll leave it to you here, I'll rush back to the Xia family's land tonight, deploy military supplies, and set off with the First Space Fleet in three days to support Horn County!"

After speaking, the third elder Xia Weiming turned to everyone and shouted:

"All those who are on temporary duty in the army will all return to the army to stand by, waiting for dispatch, and the others will continue to stay in Fuyang County, and listen to the arrangements of the second elder."

After speaking, the third elder Xia Weiming turned around and left in a hurry......

Overlooks

Xia Nanzi glanced at Xia Miaoxuan and said calmly: "I just notified the Xia family of reinforcements, but I didn't say that I would retreat to the Wangxing Clan." ”

"Hmph, my father is unconscious, and he can't get out of it with the old fox, Fuyang County can't hold it, but at the moment the old fox is still in Fuyang County, I don't worry."

"Hey, in fact, you and I both know that in this environment, the old fox is more suitable to be the patriarch!"

"Then I don't care."
