Chapter 5: The Real War
It was a huge planet, in the darkness of empty silence, without the slightest light. However, if someone can stand on this planet and look up at the starry sky, he will see a beautiful picture. A point of light suddenly appeared in the dead sky, and then rapidly grew larger, releasing more and more brilliant light. It's just that there will be no one on such a planet, and no one will be able to enjoy such a beautiful scenery. Of course, to say that it is beautiful is just the assumption that an owner has it to a person who does not own. The point of light resembles a fiery meteor or a falling meteorite, but in fact it has a distinct mark on its surface, indicating that it is the Firecloud 13 mothership.
It's just that it has long lost its former majesty, and is now just a crashing mothership. The tens of thousands of meters long mothership is incomparably small in the starry sky, but it is not small for a planet. Coupled with its terrifying speed now, even the planet can't ignore its power, no matter how big it is. However, the truth is so bizarre, when the mothership, which had already burned most of it, and the inky planet had a fierce hug, it did not have a particularly huge impact on the star.
A quarter of an hour ago, in the spaceship. Shangguan Huoshu was still alive, and his body was firmly fixed to the spaceship. Around him, there were more than a dozen people as well. As for the others, they don't know where they went, maybe they were dead, but there were no bodies of them. Suddenly, more than a dozen people looked puzzled, they could feel the violent shaking of the spaceship, but they couldn't understand the situation outside.
If you ask them how their battle went, each of them would definitely not hesitate to say that it's worth it! No one knows what they have done, but they are still proud and happy. According to the intensity of the initial attack, the shield energy was only enough to last for half a day, but three days had passed since they started fighting for themselves! During these three days, they had been fighting without stopping. No one counts how many enemies they killed, they only know that all the shells on the mothership have been exhausted, all the energy weapons have been used up, and even in the end, they only use the impact of the mothership as a means of attack until all systems are paralyzed. It can be said that in addition to the remaining ten or so seventh- and eighth-order Fire Clans, this mothership has completely turned its combat power into the corpse of the enemy. That's right, the vast majority of soldiers died in the process. But for them, death was only a matter of time, and everyone had already seen it. If they can kill the enemy enough, they are worthy of it, so they are proud! How many ships can do this?
Of course, they were also extremely lucky, glad that the enemies they encountered behind them were not as strong as before, and even more fortunate that they had not encountered irresistible terrifying demon beasts. It's just that they are also wondering, where have all the ninth-order demon beasts gone? They rushed to the rear of these demon beasts, and they didn't care? They hadn't been targeted by the demon beasts for such a long time, and they hadn't even encountered a ninth-order demon beast, which made people feel like the demon beasts were deliberately avoiding them. It feels absurd, but a lot of fighters do. However, despite all the doubts, there is no doubt that this situation is in their best interest. The reason why they were able to achieve such a result is inseparable from this kind of luck that they don't know if they are lucky, which is the reason why they are happy.
The entire mothership was paralyzed, moving forward in a straight line by inertia. There were only more than a dozen people left on the spaceship, but they were all seventh- and eighth-order warriors, and as long as they were alive, they still had a certain amount of lethality, so they waited quietly according to the Führer's orders, and waited for the demon beasts to attack the mothership, and then they tried to kill the enemy as much as possible. The reason why they didn't take the initiative to go out was because their strength was almost exhausted, and they could recover some more strength if they delayed for a while. In addition, they wanted to go as deep as possible to explore the situation behind the demon beast army. Anyway, their combat effectiveness is already very limited, and the backs that can be pulled by early death and late death are almost the same, so why not take a look. Although no matter how much you know, you can't pass the information back, but this is just the unwillingness of a group of dying people.
Comrades have died too much, and more will die, and now they are numb to death. It's not that they're ruthless, it's just because it's war. Before that, they would be in pain, and if they survived, they would be in pain for the rest of their lives, but now, they feel strange. I knew in my heart that my comrade-in-arms was dead, and I should be very sad, but there were no tears in my eyes, not to endure it, but to really not. In my heart, the initial fear of death is gone, and I don't feel too sad about the death of my comrades or even my brothers. Then, in their hearts, they will be surprised and blamed for their coldness, but not really because they know that now is not the time to blame themselves. Moreover, when I thought that I would go soon, I felt a sense of peace in my heart.
In the last half of the day, more than a dozen people were on the spacecraft that relied on inertia, but there was no energy on the spacecraft except for themselves, so there was no light. Naturally, it was impossible to waste energy for the sake of lighting, so they just sat quietly in the dark on their fixed chairs. For half a day, no one could see anyone, and no one spoke. Although they are not far apart, everyone feels like they are alone in the endless darkness of the world. It's just that at this time, there is no sense of loneliness and fear, and everyone is like the living dead, silent in this darkness. No one cared about why there were no monsters attacking, or when the monsters would attack, or whether they had already penetrated the monster army. It seems that dying motionless in the endless darkness is not a bad thing......
However, a sudden tremor broke the silence. If there is movement, it means that they have encountered the enemy again. Beyond the star field, the endless void, if it were not for the obstruction, they would be silent forever. And barrier, in the present, is not the enemy? A light shot out of everyone's eyes, but unfortunately the enemy they were waiting for did not appear for half a day. Why can't they attack it? Unfortunately, they couldn't have known that they had encountered a huge planet, and now, the mothership was colliding with the planet.
The impact inevitably happened, and they could feel the mothership slowing down. Since the first step of the impact was to crash into the atmosphere, the mothership was not directly destroyed. None of the officers moved, they didn't even say a word, they could guess a little, but they had already entrusted their lives completely to the captain. For them now, as long as they play their part, there is not much difference between life and death.
Feeling the vibration and deceleration, Shangguan Huoshu still couldn't really know what was going on, hesitated, but he still quickly made a judgment, one finger touched a button, carefully felt the change, as if waiting for something. After a short moment, he quickly pressed the button. The next moment, all the people were ejected, it was just a physical catapult device, and it was not destroyed at this time, which can be said to be an unexpected joy. Of course, the mothership has long run out of energy, and the ejection channel on it naturally cannot be opened. They were able to eject out, but it was entirely because they crashed through the mothership. Naturally, their physical strength is not stronger than that of the mothership, and the reason for their success is that the mothership has long been shattered and the shell is burning. The timing is just right, not too early or too late.
Only Shangguan Huoshu knew that it wasn't how sharp he was, such a result was completely luck. He made a big gamble, staking the lives of everyone on the mothership, and he was completely unsure of the outcome...... If he doesn't press the button, he can't escape this bet...... Fortunately, he won!
This kind of gambling should have made people's hearts shake. But whether it was Shangguan Huoshu or others, they were all extremely calm. Shangguan Huoshu's feeling was that he didn't seem to be gambling on the life and death of his comrades-in-arms and himself, but was just simply flipping a coin to play. He knew that everyone was numb, including himself. Because, no one treats the people here as living anymore.
If they were allowed to fight the demon beast hand-to-hand three days ago, they would definitely be angry at the death of their comrades-in-arms, and they would cry with their dying comrades. But if it were them now, they would not hesitate to step on their dead comrades and kill the enemy, and they would not look at it again. Even, if their comrades are entangled with the enemy when they are dying, they will not hesitate to kill the demon beast through the body of their comrade, and of course, their own body is the same. This is the difference between fighting with the determination to die and truly treating everyone as dead. Even their comrades and themselves are considered dead, and they have been reduced to pure killing machines.
It's ruthless, but it's war. After three days of bloody battles, their final weapon launch relied purely on the warriors to use themselves as energy. And the warrior throws himself into it as energy, he can't do it himself, he needs his companions to send himself in. The people who are still alive, these generals, who, after repeated pleas from their subordinates, agreed to this practice...... One by one, they sent away their brothers with their own hands.
What kind of cruelty is this, if they had a choice, they would rather be the first to turn into energy and shoot at the enemy, but someone must bear the pain...... No one knew how they could do it at that time, sending their comrades-in-arms and brothers into the energy converter with their own hands, but they did everything so naturally. It's just that since the first soldier was sent away, no one has regarded himself as a living person, and he no longer regards his comrades as a living person...... The only thing they can do is kill, kill, kill!
For the sake of the survival of the Fire Clan, the Great Sage did whatever it took to propose the extermination of humanity...... No one knows that here, without anyone's guidance, has been done...... Who will say whether it is right or wrong?
If they were still in the Fire Clan's line of sight, they might not have chosen this way because they were afraid of the eyes behind them. However, they are in the starry sky behind enemy lines, and no matter what they do, no one will know...... Therefore, they feel that their choice is so natural. No one thinks about right or wrong, but they know that they did it and don't regret it......
