Dark.

In this world, darkness seems to be the eternal theme.

After the endless darkness, there seem to be many fragmented images, but they appear occasionally, they are torn apart, and then swallowed by the darkness.

The darkness has lasted far too long, as if it were 10,000 years, and will continue to go on until the end of the world.

Legend has it that when the world comes to an end, there will be an irresistible natural disaster that will wipe out the world, cleanse the whole world, and begin the next reincarnation.

The darkness shook violently suddenly, as if it was really coming to an end. As a faint red light pierced the world, the end came.

So, he slowly opened his eyes.

Arrays of dark red characters appear in the field of vision. When he saw them, the meaning naturally came to mind.

"Faulty, troubleshooting ......"

"Reset the ...... of task information"

"Mission Unit: Dragoon Battalion of the First Division of the Imperial Praetorian Guard."

"Mission area: Second Nebula of the Ubertan System."

"Objective: Search the Dark Portal; Search for the People of the Ruins; Kill the rebels. ”

"Note: Mission information is top secret, and the content of the mission is not to be disclosed to any institution or individual in the Empire. After completion, he returned directly to the Special Confidential Department of the Imperial Capital Military Department. ”

Task Performer Code: ......

"Yellow Springs."

The name was like a switch, instantly opening a dusty memory, and a voice began to echo in his consciousness:

"I ...... Come to think of it...... I am a Colonel of the Praetorian Guard, the youngest colonel ever in the Empire......"

"I'm going to the edge of the world, to the Exiled Lands, to ...... Kill all the rebels there......"

"For 100 years, no one has been able to accomplish this task. But I, but I can. Because I am the fourth prince of the empire, I will defend my country and protect my subjects, because I am ...... Death! ”

The name echoed like thunder, bringing him infinite power in an instant, and with it infinite anger.

He threw his fist forward, slamming it into the hatch, shattering the flashing red display! With a creak, the hatch slowly opened, old as a rusty iron door.

He was even more angry, the Praetorian Guard was the most elite unit in the entire empire, and the dragoon battalion was the elite of the elite. Since its establishment, this unit has been specially created to wipe the butts of other units. Whenever there is a task that cannot be solved, it will always be thrown to the dragoon as soon as possible.

As the prince of the empire, the fourth captain of the dragoon camp, all his rations are the best, and some of the equipment is even unique, and the entire empire can't find a second one.

However, for such a task as seizing the Dark Gate from the hands of the rebels, the life-supporting cockpit equipped with it was so bad that even the hatch was rusty and defective, and the quartermaster department was so bold that it embezzled his head?

His eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were filled with a cold and murderous aura. Maybe once the rebels are gone, it's time to take the waste from the quartermaster's department.

He sat up slowly, slowly and soothingly, and after a long period of deep sleep, his body needed a process of recovery.

He made his debut at the age of fourteen, took on the mission on his own at the age of fifteen, and took over as the commander of the dragoon battalion at the age of nineteen.

While moving his body according to the standard procedure, he reported a long list of password passwords, and then said, "Equipment self-test." ”

A soft mechanical female voice sounded.

"Armor: Energy Warframe Brilliant, Condition Damaged, Damage Cause: Maintenance System Power Supply Interruption;"

"Melee Weapon: Saber Dragon's Tooth, Status Damaged, Damage Cause: Maintenance System Power Supply Interruption;"

"Ranged Weapons: Spear Light Night, Status Damaged, Damage Cause: Interruption of the energy supply to the maintenance system;"

……

A series of reports stunned him, and it took a long time to forcibly suppress his anger and shout: "What else can be used?" Say! ”

The female voice said in a constant voice: "The main energy battery is in good condition, and the remaining energy is 0.001%. With the current system running state, it can be maintained for 5 minutes. ”

He closed his eyes and breathed deeply, trying to suppress the urge to smash the cockpit with one punch. But it was not easy, and it took several minutes before he opened his eyes again and stepped out of the cockpit.

There was darkness all around, with only a glimmer of light in the distance. With the help of this faint light, he found himself in a cavern with no artificial traces on the stone walls, which should be a natural cave.

He didn't show any surprises, in his past combat career, the ship had crashed more than once, what kind of starting environment had he not seen? In contrast, this kind of underground cave is ideal, hidden, safe, and can't ask for more.

He looked back, but he was stunned on the spot.

Behind him there is no expected sleek, aesthetically pleasing cockpit, nor is there a well-protected equipment cabin that can withstand all kinds of extreme environments. Some were just boxes covered with dirt and moss, and if you didn't tell them carefully, you couldn't even tell that they were metalwork.

If you close the hatch cover, it looks like a large rock that has been sleeping in the cave for I don't know how many years.

It took him a long time before he came to his senses and looked at another boxy stone next to the cockpit. He pounced and swept away the dirt from the surface with all his might, and sure enough, a piece of metal was exposed underneath, but the original hard alloy was also rusted.

After finally removing the dirt from the equipment hatch cover, he was stunned again after pulling the lid open.

There is more than half a cabin of water in the equipment cabin, and under the turbid water, the equipment on the special bracket can no longer see its original shape, only the dragon's teeth and the appearance of a sword remain, but the scabbard and the sword are integrated, and the tip of the sword protrudes with uneven serrations.

Rao has experienced countless life-and-death battles, and he still can't understand what he sees in front of him.

"W-what's going on?"

He suddenly rushed to the side of the cockpit and shouted in a deep voice, "What time is it?" ”

The female voice was silent for a moment, as if she was calculating, as if clearing the fault, and after a moment she said, "Nineteen minutes and forty-five seconds on July 7, 10754 in the imperial calendar. ”

There was a bang in his head, and he couldn't hear anything for a while. The Imperial Calendar is one thousand seven hundred and fifty-four years! He vividly remembered that when he took on the mission and embarked on the journey, the empire had just been founded for 600 years.

Ten thousand years have passed!
