Chapter 436: The Quagmire of War

Compared to the Capital Circle, Titan is really an extremely ugly planet, with no blue lakes and oceans, no green forests and fields, only the endless wasteland Gobi and those pale-pale mining pits that make people palpitate.

Because there is still a small amount of methane left in the atmosphere, the air seems to be filled with an unpleasant smell similar to rotten eggs all the time, and the Titan Star is also cheap and monotonous due to the cheap and monotonous production of resources, the Federation has always been in a half-hearted attitude towards this place, and since the Titan Riot has passed, this resource star still cannot escape the past trajectory, and soon returned to the rhythm of an old man, regaining a near-dead calm.

Even after more than four years, the Titan is still the same Titan, as if time has not left any traces on this dusty planet except for the changes of the sand dunes.

But all this made Shi Chen feel unprecedented familiarity and intimacy, and the mottled city with orange and yellow as the background color was like an oil painting that had bloomed for many years in his eyes, full of a hazy beauty.

It is said that he is cowardly in his hometown, but Shi Chen does not have many similar emotions, his identity has been exposed, and he has been whitewashed by Ye Mengqi, even if someone discovers his existence, there will be no more crisis of the whole city besieged back then.

At this moment, what Shi Chen has is only indifference and remembrance after excitement, and there is also a little inexplicable relaxation and ease, just like a wanderer who has been away from his hometown for many years, and finally returned to his hometown.

It would be better if there was no war on the front, without that unpredictable crisis.

Shi Chen, Lea and Gina didn't alarm anyone when they returned to Titan Thirteen, just like ordinary foreign settlers, and rented the humble low-rent house on Lianxi Avenue where they had lived for many years.

Although their faces have changed, their arrival still attracts the attention of some neighbors.

Because neither of them was in imminent danger this time, they didn't do too much disguise, and with their bearing, it was difficult to see the Titans, more like those handsome people who ran out of the TV.

The Titan is a literally impoverished place, and those who are able to do it find a way to accumulate wealth before leaving here. Go to the Capital Circle or other prosperous regions to get more upside and opportunities. However, few people from other sectors are willing to settle in Titan, although the pace of life here is slower and there are many employment opportunities, but the harsh environment is definitely not suitable for vacations or retirement.

Some people think that Shi Chen's dazzling combination is very similar to the pair of sisters and brothers four years ago, but in the end they shook their heads, it is said that they are fugitives from the capital star circle, and they were surrounded and captured by the government army, and there has been no news since then.

There were rumors that the woman who appeared in this neighborhood back then was the eldest princess of the Federation, and it was even reported on the TV news. And those photos exposed from the court, some of the scenes have also been confirmed to be the Titan Thirteen District, these rumors once made many people talk about it for a long time, and also made many people regret that they couldn't get on that thigh at that time.

But in the end, no one could prove that the blonde beauty who disappeared was the unreachable eldest princess Arsariya, and gradually no one cared about her.

Shi Chen didn't pay much attention to the strange stares of those neighbors, and after the three of them settled down, there was a burst of large-scale purchases. I don't know if it's a tacit understanding, or if they all have nostalgic plots, they coincidentally bought back similar items in the low-rent house back then.

There are dilapidated metal workbenches, and Centrino optical brains that have been outdated for several generations. The brown pear sofa that I got back from the scrap recycling station, everything seems to have returned to four years ago, if you add Xiao Chu and Qianlin. Then life is perfect.

But when they came to Titan this time, they didn't come to revisit their hometown after all, they had more important things to complete.

Many of the purchase forms provided by Ria are available on the Titan Market. However, because the Titan Star is really backward and poor, most of these things are obsolete products that are two or three generations behind, so they have no choice but to spend a lot of money to purchase them from the nearby star fields through the black market channels, although it costs a lot of money, but it can't afford a princess to have a lot of money.

But I have to say that Liya has extremely strict requirements for some purchased items, especially the six sets of space protective clothing, even if it is the latest product from the military channel, it still can't satisfy Liya, and in the end they can only choose to buy the materials themselves, and then Liya herself will design the protective clothing that can meet her requirements.

Shi Chen did not complain in the slightest about these tedious things, he believed that this attitude was worthy of respect, and it was also a respect for the safety of his own life.

This kind of day lasted for about half a month, on this day, Gina went out to receive a batch of exploration professional equipment from the Lanling Star Domain, Liya sat in front of the workbench in the bedroom with a pair of radiation protection glasses and didn't know what she was calculating, and Shi Chen was sitting alone on the workbench and was filling a polymer heat-resistant material with the scientific name polyoxazolidinone into the sandwich of the protective suit.

At that moment, the television began to show the war on the Union front.

Since the Federation restarted the war from Canglan Star, the Federation has been in the midst of victory, but in less than ten days, the Federation has relied on superior forces to compress the Empire's forces on Canglan Star to the line of the Lorraine Mountains.

Immediately afterwards, the Federation sent two Giant Devourer-class fleets to start a fierce space battle with the Imperial Fleet on the Canglan front line at any cost, severely damaging the Imperial Expeditionary Force, relying on air power suppression and indiscriminate bombardment of space railguns, and in just half a month, the Federation completely drove out the Imperial people entrenched on the Canglan Star.

After a brief silence, the whole country was in an uproar, followed by unprecedented cheers and celebrations.

This was the first time that the Federation had achieved such a major victory since its successful independence, and for a time, the demand for Elizabeth was unprecedentedly high.

Due to the Empire's surprise, after the Canglan Line was broken, the Federation counterattacked into the territory of the Empire, and within two months, the Federation successively occupied the three resource colonies of the Chi Star Domain.

And on these battlefields, you can see fluttering silver cross flags and laser-engraved flags on mechs and even tank locomotives, and the new crusaders made up of those who are at the bottom of the population also shine in this war.

What makes Shi Chen a little complicated and even laughable is that his name and even his figure still appear on the TV screen, and it seems to be more eye-catching than he was two years ago.

Shi Chen knew that the self who looked a little thin was disguised by Ye Mengqi, and I have to say that the female star worked this, and even used height-increasing shoes to make up for the height that was easy to leave flaws.

But Ye Mengqi is not Shi Chen after all, and she can't have Shi Chen's terrifying combat power, so most of the time, she appears on the battlefield as a regimental commander.

Therefore, the name of the combat hero was gradually taken over by some familiar names and inherited.

Shi Chen saw Chen Fengxiao, the literary and artistic young man who tried every possible way to get close to Isha through confession in front of the gate of Yuechi School, but now he had already developed a strong physique on the harsh battlefield, his skin was also tanned, and his face was full of edges and corners and a mature taste as if he had been blown by a wind knife.

There was also a great deal of coverage within the Confederation about this exciting result, and the recruitment process in the country was proceeding more smoothly than ever before.

Under the leadership of Elizabeth, people seem to have returned to the war-torn era of the Silver Cross War of Independence decades ago, to the era of great glory although full of pain, as if the blood that had been dry in their hearts for decades was rekindled again!

In this atmosphere, some anti-war and calls for a halt were completely drowned out.

However, just when the people of the Federation were overly optimistic about the situation within the Empire, the Federation, which had been winning the war with the Empire, finally ushered in its first heavy head-on collision.

Just when the Federation Army was preparing to completely capture Chi Xing and choke the time and space node of Chi Xing's domain, it ushered in a large fleet that the empire rushed to support, and this time the Federation's combat power was not superior, and it was the backbone of the Federation that had accumulated for more than 30 years.

The fleet fell into a standoff, and the troops on Chi Xing lost their intervention from space, and they also fell into the bloodiest and most brutal tug-of-war. (To be continued......)
