In the 500 years of the universe, the human empire has 103 habitable planets and thousands of resource galaxies. On the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, a carnival was set off across the empire to celebrate the triumph of humanity in its quest to conquer the universe.

Imperial Frontier Planet - Lannor. This is a terrestrial planet that has just been discovered for more than ten years, the ecological environment of Lannuo Star can be said to be quite superior, accounting for 60% of the total area of the planet, the ocean is divided into four continental plates, and the distance from the star is also extremely appropriate, so that the temperature of the planet is completely suitable for human survival, which is a rare superior environment even among the hundreds of habitable planets in the empire.

The new immigrants on the planet are holding a carnival to pay tribute to the great Emperor of the Heavens of the Human Empire. Even on a frontier planet, the planet's garrison is basically on vacation except for the necessary personnel on duty.

"After all, this is a 500-year National Day that comes only once in a lifetime, you say it, Lake."

"Well, you're right Meda, let's toast to the rare vacation!"

The entire planet was plunged into a sea of revelry, but at this moment, several things that appeared to be some kind of large cosmic creatures approached the Imperial Army space station above Lannor. The space station's radar is blank, and the soldiers on duty are enviously watching the fireworks celebration on the planet with their terminals.

The clear night sky of Lannuo Star is full of brilliant fireworks, even though mankind has entered the age of the sea of stars, some ancient celebrations have not been abandoned, such as fireworks celebrations. Of course, due to the more developed technology, the form of fireworks is even more colorful and colorful. The official ceremonial flowers released by several major cities on the planet, as well as various fireworks released by the citizens themselves, reflect the night sky in a colorful way, and the smoke and dust scattered are like colorful auspicious clouds for the night sky.

"I really envy those who can take a vacation at this time...... Look at this grand ceremony, maybe go to the ground for a drink and meet a beautiful chick. Just as the radar soldier fell into a beautiful fantasy, he was awakened by a shrill siren.

"Alert, alert, there is a high-energy response near the space station, and the threat is judged to be extremely high, please deal with it immediately."

"What......!?" However, it was too late, and just before the radar soldiers raised the alarm, a dazzling light erupted in the space outside the space station, shooting a large hole in the space station with one shot. The next few rays of light did not leave any trace in the universe, of course, because there was no Tyndall effect in the vacuum. Light that does not produce diffuse reflection naturally does not become visible to humans, creatures who observe the presence of light with the naked eye.

However, the wreckage of the space station that followed the light proved that the light was not a harmless radio wave coming from somewhere in the universe, but a deadly beam of high-energy particles.

Some of the space station debris was able to maintain its speed, allowing it to become space junk in the planet's orbit, but more debris turned into meteors and crashed into Lannor, which was still on vacation.

Most of the space station's alloys are completely unafraid of the high temperatures generated when passing through the atmosphere, and although they are burned red by the heat generated by friction, they still fall quickly to the ground.

"Look, Meteor! Let's make a wish! "The people on earth were unwary, thinking that it was just an occasional star in the universe, but soon - a "meteor" fell from the sky with a burning flame.

"Nope! What is that! "The falling space station fragmented into a huge fireball and smashed into the ground, and the skyscraping of the city's sky with smoke and dust rising into the sky, and the ensuing explosions and shock waves hit the unsuspecting crowd, and disaster befell you.

Before the surface cooled down from the heat of the revelry, it instantly turned into a hell of flames. Severed arms and stumps flew in all directions, the rows of high-rise buildings collapsed in the blink of an eye, and the crowd on the ground street was as panicked as a swarm of bees that had been stabbed into a hive.

"Damn! What the hell is going on! Lake rushed out of the bar and looked at the scene. Meda, vacation canceled, return to base now! ”

"Yes, sir."

The rain of fire that fell from the sky like the end of the world did not last long, but just when the panicked people thought the danger was over, five ominous black shadows descended from the sky.

It was a hideous-looking creature, resembling a bipedal beast, about 15 meters tall, with an unsettling dark red glow from the eyes of its head, protruding spikes on its shoulders, knees, elbows, and other joints, and its exterior covered in dark red scales.

These unidentified creatures that landed in the crowd, without any hesitation, almost at the same time as they landed, their eyes were red, and they made an unexplained sound similar to "Forsyken", and then they launched a brutal killing of the crowd.

"Nope! Don't kill me, help! Help me! Where is the Planet Defense! ”

"Where's the Star Knight! Star Knight save me! ”

Vulnerable civilians were either smashed to pulp by weapons extending from the monster's hands, or killed by laser-like beams.

Boom Boom! A series of explosions were heard. "Bastard, stop me!" With Ryker's roar, two blue and white mechs arrived immediately after the missile that hit the monster.

"Civilians of Lannor, please immediately try to stay away from the battlefield as much as possible and move towards the nearby underground shelter, which has been unlocked. Again, civilians of Lannor, please take refuge in a nearby underground shelter immediately! Meda's voice came from the other mech's loudspeaker.

At the same time, Ryker had already pulled out the S005 laser sword that was standard with the Star Knight mecha, the lightsaber itself had nothing to say, it only had a metal grip, but after opening it, the mecha would power it, and a sword-shaped light immediately appeared from the grip.

In the chaotic streets, the armor made of special alloys of the Star Knight, under the reflection of the city lights, flashed with a cold light, Ryker's mecha put on a standard attack charging posture, the mecha leaned forward slightly, the body turned slightly sideways, accompanied by footsteps that shook the earth, Ryker quickly rushed to the nearest monster, and swung his lightsaber to cut at the opponent's head.

Just before the lightsaber slashes into the monster's head, a conical spear blocks the lightsaber. Ryker, who was connected to the nerve connection system, felt a strong force coming from the mecha's arm, and the entire mecha's body was pushed backwards and glided for several meters, until Leker reacted and jumped backwards with force.

"Meda!" "Understood." With the tacit dialogue between the two starry sky knights, Meda's mecha pulled out a three-meter-long white spear from the weapon slot behind it, and within 0.2 seconds, the white spear shot a laser with an energy level of up to B- at the monster confronting Lake, and pierced the monster's left waist. A stream of green liquid erupted, but before the two Star Knights could rejoice, the monster's wounds began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Hell, what kind of monster is this!" "Ryker, be careful!" The tacit understanding cultivated over the years of combat allowed Lake to manipulate the mech to slide to the left the moment he heard Meda's warning, and in the optical system, he saw a laser-like ray of light flying past his body.

"Lake, we seem to be a little bit bad, these five guys weren't injured in the missile attack just now, it seems."

"What about the ground forces of the Planetary Defense Force?"

"No, Lake, I don't think it's better to count on them to come to support, if the Star Knight Mecha can't handle it, those ground troops coming over are just targets for activity."

"So, it's just us?" "Yes, it's just us."

Lake was silent. Although it had been broadcast to the public to go to the nearby underground shelter when they entered, they were first attacked by the rain of fire in the air, and then attacked by alien monsters that fell from the sky, and there were many wounded people in this place who could not move freely.

"It doesn't look like they're able to communicate, Meda. Sorry, we didn't have a choice. Lake said helplessly, "Sergeant Meda, turn on the mech engine overload limit." ”

Hearing this command, there seemed to be a pause in the communication channel as Medda's breathing. But in an instant, Meda's firm voice came out of the megaphone, "Understood, turn on the mecha engine overload limit, Sergeant Lake, we only have 5 minutes." ”

"5 minutes, let these intruders see the power of our Star Knights!" Lake and Meda's mech emitted a rumbling engine sound, caused by the noise filtering system being unable to suppress the engine noise when the mech began to overload.

Just on the surface of Lannuo Star, the two Star Knights and their mechas, in front of five unknown monsters, fought fiercely to the last moment, what makes people desperate is that no matter how seriously injured the Star Knight is to the monster, it seems that the monster can repair itself, the difference is only in the speed of the slow.

"There are 10 seconds left before the engine overload goes out, 9, 8, 7, 6 ......" the warning sound of the on-board computer came from inside the mech.

"Ryker, what should we do, once the main engine is extinguished, we won't be able to fight these monsters with the power generated by the backup engine alone!."

Lake was silent for a second, and then his firm voice came from the communicator: "Cancel the engine protection mechanism and enter the mecha self-detonation program." Meda, let's do our knightly duty. ”

“…… Yes, sir. Initiate the mecha self-detonation program. ”

"Sir, you know what, I've loved fireworks since I was a kid."

"Why?"

"It is so beautiful and gorgeous, and although it is short-lived, it measures the distance from the earth to the sky with light. Give yourself all to a feast that will eventually end. ”

"So, let's put on a grand fireworks for the great founding day, hahahaha" Lake laughed maniacally, "Die mongrel monsters!" May humanity ...... Glory forever. ”

Without hesitation, the two mechs rushed towards the five monsters......

This is the most splendid fireworks of Lannuo Star on the founding day of the human empire.

From this day on, for the first time, humanity learned that it was not the only intelligent race in the universe, and a nightmare war began.
