Our almost routed force followed most of us slowly, but as the Rosa had not been able to catch up, we let our guard down, and then at noon on the day after our departure, a disaster struck.

Sache and I were retreating down a road that seemed to have no end in sight, carrying a group of wounded soldiers, when we suddenly ran into a detachment of mechs and tanks.

These mecha tanks and some armed personnel carriers are driving in the opposite direction to us, they are the troops we have thrown into the counter-assault, and it is crazy to carry out such a task in the wave of retreat.

No sooner had they passed us than we were stopped by a group of soldiers, and Shi and I looked at each other anxiously, feeling that something bad was about to happen.

Sure enough, an officer came over and told us the shockingly desperate news: "Your unit has stopped. Preparing for a sniper on the spot, the Rosha had already caught up. ”

We were a little flustered when we heard the news, and the thought of sacrifice lingered in our minds at the thought of sniping thousands of Rosha people on the spot. Before we could get out of the car, Shi Ah suddenly saw several black spots appear in the sky.

He magnified his observation with the telescope built into his helmet, and suddenly shouted, "This is a light mecha of the Rosha, everyone quickly hide!" ”

We were now on the vast plains of Kuixing, with no place to hide within a radius of hundreds of miles, so I quickly started the hovertruck and drove south.

At this time, a team of light mechs of the Rosha people had already flown very close, and this kind of unmanned light mecha could not only bomb at low altitude, but also perform simple ground attack missions

There are about three squads of this group of drone mechs, more than twenty of them, and I saw that the mech tanks that passed by us before were chasing them behind, this group of light mechs must have encountered our heavy mech team first, and then forced to break through the defense line, preparing to inflict heavy damage on a wave of our ground troops before dying.

Until a long time later, human beings have always held the initiative in the sky, whether it is the low-altitude combat of mecha tanks or the interstellar combat in space, human beings have always suppressed the Rosha people, but they are better in numbers, and the war is always attrition in the end.

The drone mechs of the three squads kept being shot down, but four of them were still coming at us, and I prayed in my heart that he would choose to blow up someone else instead of me.

However, the good fortune that has blessed me since I came to Kuixing has finally run out. A light mech locked onto me and Archie's car, and sped towards us, firing from a long distance.

"Jump out of the car!"

I exclaimed, opened the car door and ran only two steps before falling to the ground, and then a loud explosion came from behind me. Instinctively, I closed my eyes and dug my fingers tightly into the dirt.

Soon there was another explosion in the air, and I turned my head to look at the sky, where the light mech was hit by our missiles in the air and turned into a cloud of fireworks.

At this time, the people around me cheered and shouted for our mighty mech tank, and I lowered my head to see the hovertruck that had exploded into a mass of char.

"Archie!"

A huge sense of panic rose from the bottom of my mind, and my mind went blank, and I just strode towards the hovertruck.

I got to the truck, which had become a twisted mass of scrap metal, and saw a cone-wrenching scene of my good brother Saki scorched dead on the truck.

I ran over and picked up his head, his bloody face beneath the shattered helmet, and I choked out "Witch!" Archie! Archie! I swayed in a panic as Archie was dead, the flames on his body not even extinguished.

"Shi Archie! You speak! I shouted in vain.

Then I frantically picked up his corpse and ran to the convoy, shouting as I ran, "Medic! Medic! ”

There weren't any medics over there, so I ran to the first hovertruck and cried and asked where the soldier med was.

But he just asked me coldly, "Are you leaving?" If you don't go, we won't wait for you. ”

"Where's the medics! My friend needs a medic! ”

The soldier looked at me indifferently and said, "Your friend is dead and can't die anymore, so let's go." ”

With that, he started the hovertruck and headed east, followed by hovertrucks full of wounded soldiers.

I cried and put Succi on the ground, slamming the ground in anger and screaming.

I cursed the damned Rocha like crazy in my mouth, almost losing my mind, but no one cared about me.

I cried out to the sky in despair. He took out his laser gun and frantically pulled the trigger to the sky, but all this was to no avail, and Shi Archie was dead forever.

It was the first time since I joined the war that someone close to me died, and I never expected it to be so painful.

Everything from the time of Sachie's life was poured into my mind, from the first acquaintance of the moon base against each other, to the hard training together at the Mars base, to the days when Kui Xing fought side by side, this big boy who loved to laugh was one of the people I was closest to in the war.

Especially in the first two days, he also saved my life, and if he hadn't blown up the armored car that attacked me with a laser gun, I would definitely have died in Kuixing.

And later, the time with him driving the old old tank and retreating overnight with the wounded deepened our relationship. We are like two knights on skinny donkeys in the war, ridiculous and pitiful.

But there was no way to get it back, I thought I was used to seeing life and death, but I never thought that the death of my friend would have such a big impact on me.

A great sense of loneliness and abandonment surrounded me, Sachie was dead, Roy and the others didn't know where, my hometown was countless light years away, and I suddenly found that I didn't seem to know anyone on this inhospitable planet.

The old and weak army in front of me had completely gone away, and there was no officer who ordered me to go with the troops, so they left me on the road, and in fact there were no officers at all in this straggler unit.

It took me a lot of effort to bury Sachie and sit on the side of the road for a long time before I accepted that he was really dead.

Just as I was wondering if I was going to be alone and overwhelmed by the Rosha, a troop came from the west, which was the team that had just bravely carried out the counter-assault, and they found me, the man who had lost his staff, and a captain pointed at me: "You, come with us, the Rosha people are about to catch up." ”

I nodded numbly and joined them.
