Chapter 9: Battlefield and Choice (I)

The cannonballs of the particle cannon make a sound like a train passing through a tunnel as it cuts through the air, and the only thing you can do is to press your body as low as you can and pray to all the gods and Buddhas you can think of. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, don't forget to hold your weapon steady when you keep your body low, because you'll need it soon, and then, it's important to remember to keep your mouth open when the explosion happens, so you don't go deaf.

The shells fell, and then the ground shook, and I could not hear the explosion, because the explosion had become so joint that I had to close my mouth wide at first, or I would have choked on the dirt.

Reason had been replaced by a voice in my heart, and by the time I was screaming as hard as I could, but I couldn't hear myself, and I was shouting desperately, trying to stay awake.

When the loud explosion finally died down, I shook my head vigorously, pulled my body out of the mud again, and took two greedy breaths of air with gunsmoke and dust, and I felt a lot more relaxed.

In the nearby trenches, some gray heads began to rise up like me, and there were all kinds of expressions, but one thing was certain: these were still fighting forces.

After a few more moments, I was almost sure that there would be no more living people who could lift their heads, so I shouted, "Prepare for battle!" After shouting, I also shook the "Qin 45" in my hand vigorously, and stretched the muzzle of the gun out of the shooting hole of the bulletproof plate.

About a kilometer in front of the position, it was already possible to barely see the Marine assault vehicles of the attacking forces of the Federal Army preparing for the next assault.

On this position I am in, there are almost more than 100 people who can still pull the trigger with the strength, and the continuous attack of the Federation Army for three days and three nights has reduced our reinforced battalion with a total number of more than 700 people to only this point. Moreover, all the senior officers have been killed, and now it is me, a small platoon commander, who is in command.

There seemed to be some sand in my mouth, and I spat at the foam and thought fiercely: if we hold on this time, we should be able to retreat into the city, right?

Behind our defense line is the last major city on St. Louis that belongs to the Empire, Louis City, and it is already the last space-time jump base point of the Imperial Army in the entire Cancer Galaxy; At this moment, there are still 750,000 soldiers who originally belonged to the Tenth Sector waiting to be evacuated.

Except here, the entire 10th District has been occupied by the Federal Army. If it weren't for the fact that a weapon with too much power might lead to the scrapping of the base point, they would have been crushed a long time ago, and where might they still be slowly pushing in the tactics of adding fuel like now.

And this is the fundamental reason why we are still struggling to maintain the defensive line.

As for why I'm here, it's a bit of a long story.

I was actually quite happy when Captain Jason finally decided to take me with him to the Ninth Star Zone, because when I was in class before, the teacher told us countless times how powerful the Empire was, and how omnipotent the Empire's army of reformers were; Therefore, I have long believed in my heart that the rebellion mentioned by the old captain will be quickly extinguished by the great empire, and this trip to the ninth star sector will be a surprise in my trip.

However, when we finally approached the assembly site identified by the old captain after two months of sailing, an even bigger accident happened, and the target space station we were headed to had been completely destroyed! The captain and Huyce quietly approached the ruins of the space station in the transport boat, and after searching for a long time, they could only be sure of one thing, and the blow came very quickly, almost completely without giving the space station and the garrison time to react.

"It's not war, it's a massacre!!" At this time, the old captain returned to Benjamin's first words, and then he ordered to sail as fast as possible to the Holy Capital; After acceleration at all costs, the Benjamin flew a record-breaking flight of six months in just three months. But it was also costly, and when we arrived at the Holy Capital, the Benjamin was sent straight to the recycling plant.

I still remember the old captain's look when he saw off Benjamin, the sadness and memories of seeing off an old friend, and the other seven of us stood behind him to bid farewell to him.

The old captain then announced that the Benjamin would not be rebuilt anytime soon, so he had to be sadly separated from the crew. At a bar called "Jane" on the Stardock, the old captain ordered a glass of spirits for everyone and added a little bit to my drink, so I was dizzy after a while, and the last thing I remember was that he gave everyone a card, hugged them one by one, and then I fell asleep.

When I awoke, I found myself in a room where the old captain was sitting on the couch by the bed, with a cigar in his mouth, the first time I had ever seen him smoke.

Finding that I was awake, he moved on the sofa to make himself more comfortable, stared at me and said: "Xiao Qiang, I want to talk to you about a problem today, a very important issue." "After getting along for a period of time, I found a phenomenon, the old captain generally does not call me by my name directly, but calls me Xiao Qiang or Xiao Qiang.

So I quickly got up from the bed and sat down in front of him in a proper manner, after more than half a year of getting along, I have regarded Captain Jason as my own relative.

The old captain smiled at me and began to narrate, and in his slow narration, I learned about the origin and development process of the reformers that I had heard from my parents before, and I also knew that Captain Jason himself was a first-generation ninth-level reformer......

After the establishment of the empire, among the transformers who accompanied Qin Zheng to win the Earth-Moon War, eighteen of the most outstanding ones were named dukes of the empire, and at the same time, Emperor Qin Zheng ordered the establishment of eighteen star regions, dividing the entire galaxy into eighteen regions of similar size, and then the eighteen dukes each led an army of transformers to start the development of the universe.

After years of great development, these eighteen star regions have made great progress and progress, and the eighteen meritorious dukes have become the real bigwigs with a lot of strength and resources. At the beginning, Qin Zheng himself was still in power, and they were quite honest under the accumulation of power. But it is strange that the phenomenon that modified people can often have a much longer lifespan than ordinary people is not reflected in the royal family; The great founding monarch came to the end of his life, and was succeeded by the second emperor, Qin Xiang.

The subsequent emperors were not long-lived, often dying of sudden illness in the prime of life, although they all made control over the expansion of power in these eighteen star regions after they ascended the throne, but they were only able to maintain balance. In Qin Xiao's generation, among the eighteen star regions, in addition to the first three directly subordinate star regions, only the fifth, seventh, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and thirteenth were really under the control of the royal family, while the fourth, eighth, twelfth, and fourteenth belonged to the state of cooperation; The Sixth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth, Seventeenth, and Eighteenth Sectors have made it clear that they are ready to go it alone, and the war is about to break out!!

It was in this situation that Qin Xiao made the decision to let go of the research of transforming people, hoping to rely on his monopoly position in transformation technology to deter the minds of several star regions and maintain the rule of the empire; But these earth emperors, who have been in office for so long, are naturally unwilling to submit easily, so the sixth star region takes the lead, and the other four star regions echo later, and the war has been fully ignited!!
