Prologue: Funeral
Heavy rain was falling. The whole world was hazy, and the dark clouds were lower than ever, pressing on my heart. If there is a time when the sky is closer, then it should be such a day, as if you can touch the sky with your hand.
It was as if a hole had leaked in the sky, and the rain was pouring down on the ground that was already full of puddles.
The queue wasn't very long, after all, Zog didn't have that many friends.
At the front were the coffins carried by four soldiers, followed by a soldier holding the national flag.
"Why don't you even have a pastor?" Mo Ran thought to himself. Following the back of the line, the heavy armor on his body was cold and heavy. Zorg used to be a believer in the Pope, but at today's funeral, there is not a single priest who prays for him.
"What's wrong?" It seemed that seeing that Mo Ran was a little distracted, Rogge on the side asked softly, but his words were easily torn apart by the wind and rain and dissipated.
Rogge's voice was faintly heard. "I wonder why there isn't even a pastor." Speaking of this, Mo Ran sneered a little, wondering if there would be such a situation at his funeral. By the way, he forgot that he was not religious.
"In such weather, many people did not come, let alone the noble priests." To Mo Ran's question, Rogge scoffed. He was also religious, but at this time he was thinking about Zorge. "I heard that Zoge joined Long Yan!"
"Well, yes!" Mo Ran muttered in a low voice.
In the 25th century, cold weapons that should have been phased out a long time ago have shone brightly in the face of new enemies. The latest discovery of the metal Percy outside the solar system in the 23rd century has greatly enhanced the properties of the metal. Tested in several local wars without any suspense, the BX-01 type armor appeared.
In the face of machine gun and various artillery shells, the BX-01 armor showed extraordinary performance. It is effective at blocking most ordinary ammunition, but it is somewhat vulnerable to internal damage from concussions.
However, human wisdom is infinite, and although we have gone down the wrong path in the study of anti-gravity, people have finally discovered the relationship between various forces. and use a unified formula to calculate the relations of various forces. The anti-gravity field was eventually discovered.
On the basis of the BX-01, the heavy armor developed by people, the BX-02 type heavy armor.
With technological leadership, then war is always inevitable. A war that imposes the ideas of a few on the overwhelming majority, and the great interests of the few drive the actions of the majority.
The war triggered terrible consequences. On Earth, on the Moon, on Mars, and elsewhere, war and resistance coexist. Peace and justice are also things that can only be achieved if we have the same strength. What's more, in the face of huge benefits, it is also acceptable for those people to have risks.
However, when the interests outweigh the vested interests in the war, the war returns to the negotiating table. With pen and paper divide the interests of the victorious side. However, this battlefield no longer belongs to the guns and fire of the soldiers, but to the political category. After all, wars are often in the service of politics.
Under the influence of this Third World War, people are left with a devastated world and the enormous interests of businessmen.
And the more excellent BX-02 heavy mecha produced in this war, under the use of anti-gravity, has exerted very excellent performance, making many people shift their eyes to the outside of the solar system.
Negotiations are always about a pause in sporadic local wars. When the agreement was finally signed, there were only three huge alliances left in the entire world. One is the allies led by the Star-Spangled Banner, the other is the Entente led by the Tricolor, and the other is the Celestial Empire under the red banner.
The trauma of war is always deep, although there will be a lot of space in history books to tell about the bloodiness and cruelty of war, and to reflect on. But when war comes, people don't have much choice. Either rebel or become a slave.
In the struggle of countless martyrs, at least the Celestial Empire has not become a cake to be divided, but has expanded a lot of influence.
Because of the possession of the BX-02 heavy mech, many places that were originally unsuitable for humans to live have also been driven by various mercenaries and merchants to establish small colonies or outposts.
At a time when humans were not yet aware of extraterrestrial life, the existence of those outposts seemed more like the meaning of the division of territory by the great powers in the Age of Discovery.
It wasn't until the end of the twenty-fourth century that a picture sent back from the outposts of the Allies showed everyone how ridiculous the previous thinking of mankind was.
Life forms are diverse, like the last image from the Allied outpost, a warrior in a similar human form, but with a dead gray face, shooting at the camera robot.
It wears BX-02 heavy armor and an Allied icon on its shoulder.
In the era of the information explosion, people's storage and verification of identity information has been relatively perfect, and under the all-day satellite and life detection, even the life born in the wilderness will be counted in the end.
This is an Allied soldier who died in the stars during World War III, but the soldier in the photo apparently does not recognize the Allied icon on the outpost.
So this earth-shattering news was hidden in the snow under the cover of some people. If we can understand the mystery, can we create a new kind of warrior who is not afraid of death?
The Allies then sent a number of squads to capture the Death Warrior who had appeared at the outpost. and demanded that he be brought back safely.
However, more than a dozen squads lost contact after they went out. Even the radio signal was not at all, and it was as if the world had become a black hole. Even black holes have tiny signals. But there was nothing there.
Eventually, driven by interests, the allies sent a team to investigate.
This time they only got a blurry picture, and the team had disappeared into the not-so-distant star field.
In the photo, a large and strange building is being born in the star field, and strange life is busy, all kinds of strange life, including a large number of warriors in human form. It's just that all life is black and gray, as if the colors have disappeared here.
Apparently this is a life that humans have not touched, and there does not seem to be any intention of peaceful negotiations.
Allies have always oppressed others, when have they encountered such a situation. So he advocated starting a war. Of course, it is not known how much profit is behind this.
The Entente advocated waiting and seeing, while the Celestial Empire advocated being on guard and testing the other side's attitude. However, the situation encountered by the allies is clearly not promising.
So, in 2418, when the allies were still mobilized, the Entente was waiting to watch the play, and the Celestial Empire was waiting for news, it suddenly broke out.
This is a life form unknown to humans, and the garrisons on the human frontier are no match at all. In the face of the black oppression of a large area of alien creatures, humans are almost powerless to fight back. In the midst of the fierce battle on the Martian colony, humanity ushered in another special race of life.
In their words, the enemies we are facing now are the undead, and they are the Protoss. For countless ages, the undead and the Protoss have been fighting. However, the power of the undead is powerful, and the Protoss is forced to join forces to form an alliance against the undead.
And in the hidden photos of the allies, those strange beings other than the human race are the races of the god race.
For such an advanced life form, human cognition is completely broken. Because the Protoss did not multiply like humans, but were born from their holy land, a large tree that occupies almost half of the planet. And they are not flesh and blood, but a kind of forest.
In the face of human incomprehension, the Protoss did not explain anything, after all, human civilization is still in its infancy. If it weren't for the fact that the Undead Race was the first to discover them, the Protoss would not have noticed that there was such a small race in the universe.
So in 2422, five years after the undead went to war, humans were forced to join the Protoss as vassals. And the Protoss provides human beings with intelligence and a certain amount of scientific and technological knowledge.
However, the Protoss was still surprised by the discovery of the Bosi element by humans. But it's just surprise.
After the undead who were previously considered invincible were driven out of the solar system, humans celebrated this day by designating June 11 as the solar system day every year.
However, the war was far from over. Just like what the Protoss said, what humans consider to be invincible undead is actually just a reconnaissance team of the undead race, and they don't have much combat power. In this universe, the Protoss side is on the weak side.
Because the Terrans joined the side of the Protoss, the war did not end for the human race, but had just begun. The year is 2435, the year when mankind stepped out of the solar system and into the universe.
And the war in the galaxy is in full swing, the earth is very small for humans, and the humans on earth are even smaller to the gods and the gods are negligible. After all, there is no limit to life in the entire universe. There are a large number of new lives born every moment, and countless civilizations are destroyed, and human beings are very small in this context.
But even if it is small, for humans, there is only one Earth. Without the Earth, where would humanity end up? At least what happened in the history books doesn't happen. Because, the undead don't need slaves, they only need territory.
As a result, every year, among the students who graduate from various military schools on Earth, the best cadets join the six legions formed by Earth. Among them, the allies are Black Hawk and Apollo, the Entente are Warhammer and Greataxe, and the Celestial Empire is Celestial Wolf and Dragon Flame.
The war was brutal, and all six legions were wiped out, but they were re-formed. As the proverb goes, the iron barracks are the soldiers of the water. And next time, Mo Ran and Rogge will graduate, and then go to the Sirius Legion to report. At least their military academy has a good relationship with the Sky Wolf. Although most of the outstanding students sent over were corpses when they returned, it was much better than being buried on the alien battlefield.
This is also where the Sky Wolf and Dragon Flame are very popular. Unlike the allies and the Entente, all that came back in the end was a box of gray powder, and even who it was impossible to tell who it was.
