Chapter 600: The Gates of Hell
"May the wings of Cygnus shine on you forever."
The Coral Plains of the Northern Hemisphere of the Fast Empire are almost inhospitable in nature, and the people who live here are also called hillbillies by the people of the bustling southern hemisphere. Moreover, the people of the Coral Plains think so too.
Monsieur Molière walked through the hard streets, and beneath his feet was once a continental shelf made up of coral reefs, which is where the name Coral Plains comes from.
Perhaps his wife's complaint in the morning upset him, and Monsieur Molière, with his sorrowful feelings, ignored the greeting of his neighbor Hazhilan. It wasn't until Hargeran blocked his way that Monsieur Molière came to his senses.
"May the wings of Cygnus shine on you forever." Monsieur Molière bowed slightly, his action and this sentence had a southern hemisphere flavor.
"Hey, am I not saying it well?" Harielan felt that he was a hillbilly, and he, a down-and-out aristocrat who had been separated by several generations, cared about this very much.
"It's not." Monsieur Molière shook his head: "It's just that the movements are not natural. ”
"I think that's good, huh?" Harielan was a little unconvinced.
"Maybe, if you can casually look up at the sky after you finish speaking, it will be perfect." Monsieur Molière has something on his mind, and he is perfunctory in his words.
"Is that so?" Harryan raised his head and looked at the sky that had not yet dawned in the morning. There, twenty-one fifth-magnitude stars in the constellation Cygnus are clearly visible.
Cygnus is actually a star cluster, but its brightest twenty-one stars are so dazzling that people confuse the concept of constellations and star clusters.
"Hey, what's that?" Harilan snorted, he didn't know that his tone was actually very hillbilly. People in the Global South never say "hey" like that.
"It's okay, there's no need to actually look at it. Rather, it is a casual look up. "Monsieur Molière was impatient.
"Hey, man, look, what's that?" Harilan said stubbornly.
"Just a star, or—" Monsieur Molière looked up, and after a moment, "it's the wreckage of a fallen satellite, or maybe it's a military fleet exercise." ”
"Not really. How do I feel like a school of fish. Do you know the way? It's the kind of fish in the ocean that can glow. Hariran gestured.
"Wait a minute." Monsieur Molière suddenly lowered his head, and then raised his head sharply: "I remember when I was still in college, my cosmic physics instructor said that the most obvious optical feature of the visual effect of stargate jumping is the fish-scale electrolytic cloud. ”
"What? What electrolytic clouds? Hazhilan asked confusedly, "Who's jumping?" The Empire's fleet? ”
"No, no, no, not the fleet of the Reich, further than that. Very far away—" Monsieur Molière had an ominous premonition in his heart: "The stargate jump is not an ordinary spatial folding, but a way of intergalactic movement. ”
"Like Cygnus? And then here? Harielan smiled: "Man, are you bullying me for being a hillbilly?" No kidding. ”
"Nope. No joke. I'm going to make a phone call, or. Send a few more emails. My wife has a few relatives in Upper Dessa, and I'm going to see them, I haven't been in touch with them for a long time, and I don't know if they're okay. ”
Monsieur Molière spoke incoherently, and turned and walked towards his house, he was walking too quickly. I tripped over a rock. He got up and hurried in the direction of his home......
Almost a billion people in the Frost Blue Galaxy have witnessed the arrival of the "Devil's Gate" (which was the definition given by humanity some time later). Of these billion, only 1 in 10 survived.
The 1 in 10 chance seems to be small, but if you change it to "90% of the people are dead", the cruel context is accurate.
Human beings are not unprepared, in Chu Ming's words, "the barrel is still hot". But when the Holocaust came, everyone understood. It's not enough, it's not enough.
The "Devil's Gate" appears on the planet Great Ruwin. From the "Devil's Gate" poured out an endless number of warships. It was a kind of cold silver livery with a very flat fusiform hull. At the bow of the ship there are two circular engine front holes, which look like the godless white eyes of a shark from a distance. Therefore, humans named it "Magic Eye".
The "Magic Eye" is a war machine with no humanity, bringing only killing, and in just one week, it has turned 13 administrative stars of the Fast Empire into a barren.
But that's not all, it's just part of the Holocaust.
At the same time as the "Devil's Gate" opened, the Alternate Passage in the Fifth Star Domain's Triric Empire was fully opened, and it was not humans from the inner galaxy that came from it, but an endless number of abundant butterfly insects. This is the first time that a wave of bugs has descended on the outer galaxies, and this will be their dining table.
In addition, there are orcs from the Alpine Empire. This nearly forgotten race has bared its savage minions and joined in the killing feast with its formidable bodies. The Orc Empire was underestimated by many, and when the Cauchy Empire declared its demise a month later, it was discovered that they were not facing vulnerable creatures, but powerful beasts.
Darkness descended on this civilized galaxy. It's so fast, so brutal, so unexpected. Humans die in wailing, and when they die, they can't believe it's true. This war is far more than a struggle between human beings, it is a calamity of a race, either to die or to die.
In the eyes of the aggressor, there was no occupation, no surrender, only complete death. Every fallen planet has become a no-man's land, and humanitarianism means nothing to the aggressor. They kill, they keep killing, whether they beg for mercy or resist, they don't even care that humanity is united because of this, they only want one - to perish......
"I finally understand why Lian Wei is so cowardly."
At the Fastster Empire Front Command, Chu Ming said with a wry smile: "What they want is destruction, so they don't care about our position at all. Just like when a farmer kills pests in a rice field, when pesticides are sprinkled, both pests and beneficial insects die. As for whether there are more pests or more beneficial insects, the farmer will not care. ”
"To date, 2,849 administrative stars have fallen, and the 1st, 7th, 13th, and 15th theaters no longer exist, and the intuitive way of saying is that half of Fast has become a graveyard."
Miss Bambi stood beside Chu Ming, her current identity was the queen and the leader of the empire. During this time, she did better than Chu Ming expected. Stronger.
"It shouldn't have been this way." Chu Ming was a little remorseful, he still underestimated the intensity of the catastrophe, which caused the Fast Empire to almost come to the brink of annihilation.
"You've done well enough." Miss Bambi patted the dust on Chu Ming's shoulder: "Before this, no one would have thought of it. Even if you think about it, how many people will believe it? If it weren't for you, I might have died with my people. ”
"Yes, the best result is that Lei Xun is still there." Chu Ming comforted himself and said, "Lei Xun's three most important administrative stars are still in the hands of humans. It was the best news I could hear in a few days. ”
"Yes, Empress Yiling insisted on not leaving, so Emperor Div also stayed. Diff, while not a good emperor, was a good man. Miss Bambi's eyes were full of tenderness. She doesn't envy Yi Ling, the best man is by her side.
"And thanks to Ian. The mercenary guild is doing very well. They are all real warriors. But—"
Chu Ming hesitated for a moment and looked at General Bandi who was lying on the sofa and taking a nap. The latter opened his eyes sensitively and asked vigilantly:
"Is there a situation?"
"Nope." Chu Ming shook his head apologetically: "I didn't want to disturb your rest. ”
"yes, yes, damn nervous breakdown." With a rare foul word, General Bandi rubbed his temples and got up from the couch.
"Even the best drugs have side effects. As long as you are human, you need sleep. Chu Ming tried to persuade.
"I know it." General Bandi nodded, but had no intention of continuing to sleep, and he walked over, his vain steps gradually steady. He is the military soul of the Fast Empire, and as long as he can stand up, the Fast Empire will not give up fighting.
"I'm going to Rayson. Four-star perturbations are too important. Chu Ming said.
"Well, I understand, and I don't want to say anything like taking care, it's unlucky." General Bandi nodded: "The whole galaxy is one-sided. So, we desperately need a victory. I'll let the 'Free Army' collaborate with you. Formed for so long. It's time to make an appearance, too. ”
"Yes, has their commander been chosen?"
"Yes, it's still your old friend, Lieutenant Colonel Prevuckett. Oh, now with the rank of lieutenant general. ”
"Yes, he commands the Free Army, and I'm relieved." ……
Human beings have an ability that no other species can match, and it is not wisdom or strength, but tenacity to go against the grain. When Chu Ming saw Prevchter, the latter showed a bright smile, and he hugged Chu Ming warmly.
"If we didn't have a backpack system, we wouldn't even be able to carry the first month. So, it's fair between us. ”
Prevopter is Chu Ming's old acquaintance, and in a sense, he also saved Chu Ming's life. Moreover, he was also a funny and optimistic gentleman, and even in such difficult years, he was still meticulously humorous.
"Is this the rhythm of juggling? Your words wary me. Chu Ming put his arm around Prectett's shoulders and said with the same humor as him.
"Not really. It was the golden age of speculators, and the power was at your fingertips. Privok nodded and introduced Chu Ming into his flagship.
A person has a person's style, and Chu Ming's influence on the Free Army is far less than that of Privekett, but Chu Ming doesn't feel bad.
The Free Army was made up of the elites of various empires, and their composition was complex, and their living habits and even beliefs differed. Therefore, Prichkett's loose command style has allowed this army to maintain its overall strength, and this subtle command art is something Chu Ming can't do, and he doesn't want to do it.
"We don't care what happens elsewhere. But the entire Fourth Star Domain has been shattered, and the news of the death of an old friend can be heard every day. ”
Standing in front of the three-dimensional map, Prevkett said. He moved his fingers to the rear of the Place of Fast.
"Only our nemesis, the Robrosie, can watch the demise of humanity over coffee."
"You don't think it's good?" Chu Ming asked rhetorically.
"Of course not, just complaining. Like I don't like breakfast with pies, but if the cook makes it, I'll eat it too. Privekett shook his head: "The most powerful thing about General Bandi is not his command art, but his hard-hearted heart. ”
What Privoter is talking about is part of a larger plan. The essence of this is to preserve the strength of the Rob Rossi Empire as much as possible.
Looking at the Fourth Star Domain, if we put aside the contradictions between countries, we can find an interesting fact. The Robrosie Empire in the Fourth Star Domain is a big empire, and it is also the one that is best at attacking. In turn, under the oppression of the Robrossi Empire for so many years, the Fast Empire still existed tenaciously. This illustrates the strength of the Fast Empire in defense.
General Bandi resolutely left behind the long-standing feud between the two empires, and persuaded Queen Bambi and the others to make the Fast Empire a shield in the fourth star field.
What a fearless courage and boldness! What a paranoid madness!
"Do you know how to do it? Whenever I think about Rob Rossi not yet making a move, I feel inexplicable confidence. "It's the same with the soldiers, who think we still have cards and we have hope," Privopter said. So, they are always able to fight for hope. ”
Privekett only talks about the big truth, and there are some things that he and Chu Ming know but won't say.
The Robrosi Empire wasn't really on the sidelines, and there were many elites from Robrosi in the Free Army. If Fast couldn't stop the "Magic Eye" fleet, Rob Rossi's defeat would be even faster than the Fast Empire. So, the existence of the Rob Rossi Empire is more symbolic, and as long as it has not been attacked, humanity will not despair.
"It's very hard. Especially the rout of the 7th theater of operations. Prevkett said: "The 8th theater of war is filled with human lives, and across the 8th theater, the 'magic eye' fleet can directly attack the Robrosi Empire." That would affect the deployment of General Bandi. ”
What Prevokett really wanted to say was: it was a disaster.
The soldiers had no idea that the war had reached its most critical juncture, and that the 8th Theater and the adjacent Constitutional Monarchy of Resun would be the de facto most rear-end barrier.
"Well, let's talk about the MONOCULUS fleet and Rexon." Chu Ming didn't want to continue this topic either, this was a war that he couldn't escape, and he thought he was in it
