March 14, 1469 in the silver lunar calendar, sunny

The spring breeze, which is already a little warm, blows the branches of the cedars planted in the Fourth National Martyrs Cemetery and shakes them slightly.

This cemetery was built less than five years ago, covers an area of nearly 10,000 acres, surrounded by more than 20 meters of cedar trees specially transplanted, it is located in the southern suburbs of Mukden, the capital of the Chuck Federation, where visitors are not forbidden to visit and worship, but today's cemetery is shrouded by layers of enchantments, and there is no scene inside at all. At this time, dozens of people were standing in front of a separately divided group of tombs in the northwest corner of the cemetery, all wearing masks, although they could not see their expressions, they could still see the slightest solemnity and sadness in those upright postures.

The mask of the head man is the appearance of a clown, and the clown's eye depicts a tear, which seems to be newly carved, making the mask that should be quite joyful become a touch of sadness.

This person is dressed in a black combat uniform, there is no rank mark on his shoulder, only a golden skull armband on his left arm, and a square pendant hanging on the belt around his waist.

The people behind him were all wearing the same combat uniforms, various masks, and the skull armband on his left arm was in different colors such as silver, blue, and gray. Beside each of them were packed salutes, and all kinds of combat equipment were filled with them.

There were no names on the tombstones in front of them, only code names and dates of sacrifice:

"Scarecrow, died in July 1465. ”

"Keychain, sacrificed in March 1468. ”

"The head of the pot, sacrificed in December 1467. ”

"Red Coral, died in May 1466. ”

"Muyu, sacrificed in January 1469. ”

"Little Whirlwind, died in March 1469. ”

。。。。。。

There are only these simple records on the tombstones, and a total of 1,396 tombstones with only code names stand here like this, and even most of them are just clothed mounds. And at the front of the tombstone stands a stone pillar, on which is engraved "There is no name, only sacrifice, I defend this land with my blood, I, no regrets." ”

This group of people came here one after another from nine o'clock in the morning, no one spoke, just stood silently, like a stone statue without moving.

The wind had gradually subsided, and the cold of late winter had been replaced by the vigor of early spring, but the solemnity of the cemetery had made it nearly half alive.

At this time, a figure suddenly appeared next to the leader of the golden armband, who wore a fox mask, first saluted, and then sounded a crisp voice: "Head, the time is up." ”

Hearing this, the momentum of these people changed instantly, and the originally dead crowd was filled with a burst of evil aura, and a few sharp-billed finches that landed on the trees next to them were immediately frightened and flew away.

"Oh, so fast. The golden armbands replied. "Here, give these brothers another drink. With that, he swiped the pendant on his waist, and a delicate silver flask appeared in his hand, and everyone behind him and the man who had just arrived also took out bottles of spirits from the salute.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know how long it will take, the war has chosen us, that is our responsibility, our responsibility, believe me, victory is ours, and it can only be ours. Dry this glass of wine and wait for us to come back.

Respect for the past, respect for the present, respect for the future. ”

There was no flowery rhetoric, the first man was just a short sentence, and then he opened the cap of the bottle and slowly poured the crystal liquor in the bottle into the ground in front of the stone tablet in front of him.

The same is true of his men, whose air is filled with the smell of wine.

As if in response to them, the branches and leaves of the cedar shook sharply when the wind had stopped, and countless needles fell one after another, and everyone reached out to pick a pine needle from the air and carefully placed it in their own pockets. When only one-fifth of the wine remained in the bottle, the people drank it up.

"Alright, let's go. The man turned around and ordered, and began to walk out.

"Yes. A group of subordinates responded in unison, each of them saluted, and formed a battle formation in tacit understanding, and the followers had to walk out.

When he arrived at the tree wall composed of silver firs, the golden armband looked back at the cemetery behind him, activated his body, and disappeared in front of everyone at once, leaving only a sigh. The rest of the people followed suit, and in an instant, the cemetery was calm, and only the cedars that were still swaying, as if to see them off.

At this time, in the depths of the cemetery, in a low thatched hut, two silver-haired old men sat at the door, one left and one right, among which the old man in blue was holding a wine gourd in one hand and a chiseled stone cone in the other, but his eyes were looking at the door of the cemetery, and he sighed, "I don't know how many people can come back." Another old man in yellow picked up a big broom erected at the base of the wall and limped out, "These bunnies don't know how to send some wine, and I have to clean up the leaves." Even as he said that, there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

。。。。。。

On March 20, a secret training camp in the northwestern province of the Chuck Federation was destroyed, 135 terrorists were killed, and a number of high-ranking people were arrested, including Pompio, the third person of the bloodline, known as the left hand of terror.

On March 22, fierce fighting was heard at a factory in Senyuan City, Shannanxing Province, Chak Federation, which was later confirmed by the local government to be a stronghold infiltrated by hostile organizations from outside the country and had been successfully destroyed.

On March 26, over the southern waters of the Chuck Federation, the Chack Federal Secret Service Task Force broke into a suspected modified airship, and 17 hijacked teachers and students of the Federal Power Institute were successfully rescued.

On April 3, a group of contractors led by several masters of the control rank attacked the Wusong City Power Research Institute, the capital of the Siqi Province of the Chuck Federation, and were ambushed by the garrison that had already been ambushed, and all the troops were wiped out, one of the leaders was confirmed to be the leader of the law enforcement team with high blood.

On April 15, the Kingdom of Hartland, the Kingdom of Amusa, and the Kingdom of Hahn issued an ultimatum to the Chuck Federation, demanding that the Federation agree to the restoration of the nobility of the former aristocratic class in the province of Blue Cloud and have the right to self-knowledge. The Chuck Federation Ministry of Foreign Affairs officially rejected this unreasonable request, and on the same day, Chuck Federation allies such as the Azure Business Alliance, the Blue State of the Thousand Star Islands, and the Republic of Mikel expressed their solidarity with the Federation, and the Astor Empire and the Silver Eagle Republic, which are the world's two-level hegemons, did not comment on this.

At 8:30 a.m. on April 30, 1469, the Kingdom of Hartland declared war on the Chuck Federation, and five minutes after the declaration of war, the 45 divisions of the Hartland Kingdom on the border, with a total of 730,000 soldiers, launched a fierce attack on the southwestern province of the Chuck Federation. The Chuck Federation declared war on the Kingdom of Hartland at 8:45 a.m. on the same day, and the border conflict between the two countries, which had been going on for several years, finally escalated into a war, known in history as the Fourth Southwest War.

At this time, most people did not realize that this was just the beginning of a war that swept the entire world, and the sky of the Firmament World began to be dyed blood red from this day.
