1534 Reckless Epitaph

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Looking at the distant sky, a soldier in power armor smiled and looked at a man in a white robe beside him, and asked calmly.

"What? You think I'm doing this, pitiful?" The man in the white sword robe also had a smile on his face, and asked back.

"No, you know, I have no fear, so I may feel better than you now." The young soldier still had a smile on his face, but his face made his smile a little ridiculous.

There is a familiar symbol on his forehead, a symbol similar to a QR code, which means that he is a cloned human being, a person who should not have existed in this world.

"I'm not afraid either. I chose to come here voluntarily. I also know that I will probably die here in the end." The man in the white sword robe still had a smile on his face, and he couldn't hear it in his tone. His fear: "If I don't stand here, maybe the Heavenly Sword Sect will be completely finished."

"I don't want this sect, which I have devoted my life to, to die like this, although I think it has long since died." When the young swordsman from the Heavenly Sword Sect said this, he showed a lonely expression on his face. : "Shenzong is dead... But I hope that through my battle, I can awaken thousands of fellow disciples and let them remember the old days."

"Well, you are a person of great conviction, unlike us, we only have orders." The young soldier turned his gaze to the distant sky: "We were created to fight for His Majesty the Emperor, and keep fighting, until he gave his life."

"You are a good fighter! Frankly speaking, I am not a fighter, I just know how to fight, and you, you... are the best fighters." The swordsman groped for himself while talking.

"Ha... I think you're right. When you first came here, I didn't think you were a soldier." The young soldier laughed, and the hearty laughter immediately spread across the battlefield.

He withdrew his gaze, and looked at the swordsman beside him again: "You are not a warrior now, you may be a very powerful person, but you are not a warrior!"

While listening to the young warrior say that he is not a warrior, the swordsman took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms.

He skillfully tapped the cigarette case, and a cigarette popped out from inside, he held it between his fingers, and put it in his mouth. Then he dug out a lighter from nowhere, lit it lightly, and put it in front of the cigarette.

In the sky next to his ears, one could already see shining meteors falling one after another.

"That's the wreckage of the space fleet. The enemy hasn't landed yet." The soldier looked at the display screen on his wrist, and there was a report from the detection force on it.

The radar troops clearly detected the targets that fell into the atmosphere. Obviously, those targets were the wreckage of the Irish Empire warships that had been scattered before, not the Watchmen's landing force.

Breathing out a puff of smoke, the white-clothed swordsman with a cigarette in his mouth still relaxed adjusted the angle of a mobile phone placed on the ground.

Then, with his cynical voice, he started his performance to the camera: "See! This is the Higgs 5! This is already the front line! I came here voluntarily to participate in this war The first swordsman...thanks to Senior Sister Lu Wan for the reward of the sports car!"

"In about an hour, the enemy may start to land! We are ready to fight any time! Look around here! Our defensive positions are everywhere! I am going to be here, with my life , fighting for all of you!" he said, stuffing the cigarette back into his mouth and taking a deep breath.

"Thank you, Lecturer Chu, for the reward of 100 meatballs! I heard that our fleet suffered some losses, but it doesn't matter, the rest will be handled by our ground troops!" He said, facing the sky The falling meteors adjusted the shooting angle: "Look at these meteors,

Is it familiar? "

"These bastards who fell from the sky destroyed our sect and took away everything from us! Killing our relatives and fellow sects finally...defeated us!" He pointed to the shooting stars in the sky, as if recalling some bad memories .

There was no way to do this, because the demise of the Heavenly Sword Sect seemed to have started from such a scene.

All the swordsmen who have experienced that catastrophe remember the terrifying sky and the terrifying enemies who suddenly appeared and called themselves the guardians.

"Fortunately... the Alan Hill Empire took us in, provided us with enough cultivation resources, and gave us a rich and peaceful life." Facing the camera, looking at the rewards on the screen of the mobile phone, the swordsman's face gradually improved .

He didn't come here for those rewards, he came here with only one purpose, and that was to use his own life to awaken the sleeping justice hearts of all the disciples of the Heavenly Sword God Sect!

"And all of this, isn't it what we wanted to pursue? Everything that the Heavenly Sword Sect failed to achieve, the Alan Hill Empire has achieved and given us... Then why can't we be loyal to the empire and fight for the empire as we did to the sect in the past? What?" He asked loudly, but it was destined that no one would answer.

Gradually, those who joined in the fun and came to his live broadcast room no longer offered rewards, nor did they say any words of encouragement.

These people just listened quietly, listening to the speech of the swordsman of the Heavenly Sword Sect who had decided to live and die with Higgs 5 in front of the camera.

If nothing else happened, this should be his last speech—the battle that broke out later might kill him at any time.

"Actually, it's just because before, if we didn't fight for the sect, we would be killed as rebels... and the Alan Hill Empire never forced us to do so. Without the fear of death, we lost the ability to fight Courage!" He was still talking, and there were more and more meteors in the sky.

Some fighter jets of the Alan Hill Empire began to fly towards the place where the meteor fell, and the roar of the engines gradually made the vicinity of the position noisy.

"We are too greedy for life and afraid of death, and we have long forgotten the beliefs of the past! We are used to plundering resources, and we are accustomed to the favors of others... Now, it is our turn to prove ourselves! We are not waste, nor are we cowards! In this world , and something worth cherishing and fighting for!" The swordsman is still insisting on his live broadcast, which is the best way he can find to express his heart.

At least he felt that he should fight for his belief once, even if he sacrificed his life, he should fight once!

"I believe in you, you will not sink like today, and you will not continue to be so cowardly and despicable! In the end, like me, you will choose to stand up bravely, stand up and fight side by side with those who deserve our admiration..."

"Besides the slavery of death, we have something more important, something we should fight for! It's a heart of gratitude! It's the desire to return to peace, it's the desire to protect the world, it's our own... glory!"

"So! Fellow disciples... don't be trapped by the habits developed under the decadent system of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and don't be blinded by timidity and cowardice! Follow your cultivation heart! Stand up again ! Show all living people in this world, see our strength!" After shouting these slogans, the swordsman closed his live broadcast.

"It was almost as hot as you said." The clone soldier said while leaning against the cold concrete wall beside the bunker, holding his weapon.

"Hey, I'm also a very good person." The swordsman put away his mobile phone, glanced at his comrade in arms and said.

"Well, I believe it!" The clone soldier's tone was full of ridicule.

"You really look like you deserve a beating." The swordsman raised his eyebrows in return.

"It's too late." The soldier with a QR code on his forehead continued to laugh.

"What's too late?" The swordsman continued to ask.

"Before the enemy invades, if you want to beat me up, it may be too late." The soldier spread his hands, expressing his innocence.

"I didn't intend to beat you." The swordsman also defended himself in an innocent tone.

"Really?" The clone trooper didn't believe it.

"Really..." The swordsman nodded.

"Then why is the sword at your waist on my neck?"

"Well... it flew over by itself."

"Stop it……"

...

On the other side of the Higgs 5 planet, a spaceship soared into the sky in the night sky. The huge tail flame dragged a long light straight into the sky, and disappeared into the night until the roar of the engine came to an end. Everything returned to calm.

Looking at the rising spaceship through the thick glass window, a middle-aged general had his hands behind his back, and the few wrinkles on his face looked a bit vicissitudes under the light of the tail flame.

"Didididi..." The electronic ringtone of the phone rang quickly, and an indicator light on the operation panel in front of him also began to flash.

The middle-aged general grabbed the phone receiver in front of him, and the other party's anxious voice came from inside: "Why are you not on the evacuation list of this group! Why haven't you evacuated yet?"

He tidied up the meticulous military uniform on his body, and said: "There are more than 20 million soldiers here, and they are still sticking to their positions. As their commander, how can I leave my post without authorization?"

The person on the phone seemed very angry, and the voice was a bit exaggerated: "Asshole! You know they are all clones and puppet robots! Your evacuation was approved by the headquarters of the 9th Front Army! You don't need to give those consumables Funeral!"

"They are all soldiers of the empire! They are all willing to die for the emperor! Please pay attention to your words, general! Humiliation of the warriors who fought for the empire will be court-martialed! Moreover, I am not buried with them! The defense commander of planet Gus 5 should stand on his own ground!" The middle-aged general with a telephone receiver said again.

On the other side of the phone, it seemed that he was so excited that he even forgot the confidentiality regulations: "Are you crazy? You know 'Operation Magnet'! You know that Higgs 5 is..."

"Our call may be intercepted by the enemy, I have to interrupt you! And remind you again, pay attention to your words...General!" So the general here interrupted again in a calm tone The voice on the other side of the phone.

"Damn it! The next flight is the last transport ship to leave! As Commander-in-Chief of the Ninth Front, I order you to board the evacuating ship! Immediately! Immediately!" The voice on the phone cursed, and then took out Commanded in an uncompromising tone.

"I'm willing to give up the position on the spaceship to Lieutenant Colonel Jack." The general, holding a telephone receiver, watched the last engineers and soldiers walking towards the last spaceship on standby in an orderly manner, and said without any hesitation. .

"Lieutenant Colonel Jack is a clone! He is the commander who should stick to the headquarters!" The voice on the other side of the phone roared.

"Please don't take my honor away from me! General!" It seemed that he was also angry, and the general with the rank of lieutenant general suddenly raised his tone.

"..." There was a long silence in the receiver.

Finally, the person on the phone calmed down and said, "If you had said such stupid things two hours ago, I would have personally arrested you!"

A successful smile appeared on the lieutenant general's face: "So I lied before, I never planned to leave my headquarters."

"Why don't you usually see that you are so tough?" The voice on the other side of the phone asked with a sigh.

The smile on his face got wider, and the lieutenant general proudly bragged: "If I were like Major General Xi Wei, you wouldn't let me come to Higgs 5, would you?"

"Thousands of choices, I still chose a donkey to go to Higgs No. 5! Damn it, your sacrifice is in vain, understand?" As he spoke, the person on the phone had the tendency to go berserk again.

"No, my sacrifice can at least make those clone soldiers feel warm. They will know that the empire they fought for doesn't treat them as waste products! The people they protected also sacrificed and died in the war...and... ...The computer has calculated that with me personally commanding, the ground defense strength will increase by 21%. If I leave, they will lose more and lose their positions faster. How dare I entrust such an important command job to those Recruits to do it?" The lieutenant general finished in one breath, waiting for the person on the phone to continue talking.

Finally, I don't know whether it was a compromise or finally gave up. The person over there sighed again and muttered: "God, for His Majesty's sake... I hope your choice is right."

"No one will know the answer, General Medias! I only hope that, after many years, a group of children will come to my tombstone and lay beautiful flowers. My epitaph must be written by you... Just write 'reckless Loyal Andre." The general named Andre said with his chin raised.

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone and looked at the officer who walked in with his helmet in his hand: "What's the matter?"

"General, you should have taken the last spaceship to leave here. This is already the front line and it is very dangerous." The school officer did not answer the general's question, but persuaded him.

He also has a QR code on his forehead, and apparently, he too is a clone and a "consumable created to be used in war."

"Lieutenant Colonel! There are more than 20 million soldiers here...they only protect me. Is there any place that is safer than here?" General Andre asked.

"You are right! General! There are 20 million soldiers here, and they will protect you to the death!" The lieutenant colonel replied with a very solemn military salute.

"Okay, what bad news did you bring?" General Andre asked. Before he came to the Higgs 5 area to serve as the commander, he was actually just the most inconspicuous of the many unknown generals in the empire.

If someone saw his resume, they would only think that this general seems to be very closely related to the word ordinary. His promotions are always in order, and his resume is no surprise.

From the time he won a Golden Eagle, he was selected to study in a military academy, and he became a typical office general in the military department.

Even, he only met Chris once, and that was at the ceremony of his promotion to lieutenant general. The 17 generals who were promoted with him were received by His Majesty the Emperor together.

The empire is too big, even Chris can't meet all the major generals in the military department - today's school officer, even the imperial marshal like Wagron can't see it.

"The 1st Fleet retreated, and they sent a message, confirming the intelligence we observed before—the Imperial Fleet gave way to the front of the Higgs 5, and after about 40 minutes, the enemy's landing force may Launch a ground attack on us." The officer holding the helmet reported.

"I see." Unable to tell the real intention of the empire to the commander in front of him, Andre nodded, saying that he already knew the news: "According to the predetermined defense plan, let the troops prepare for the battle! "

"Yes! General!" The lieutenant colonel stood at attention and returned the salute, then turned and walked out of the slightly empty surface command post.

As this became the front line, some conspicuous buildings on the surface have been voluntarily abandoned. After all, everyone is afraid that these obvious landmarks will attract long-range attacks from the enemy.

The real headquarters has been transferred underground, and the personnel of the headquarters who were in charge of the work here have also left this planet with the evacuation rocket.

The ones left here are basically clones—even in the headquarters, 99% of the people have obvious marks similar to QR codes on their foreheads.

"Report!" Another officer with a word on his forehead came in, stood at attention and saluted, and said, "The last spaceship is ready and ready to launch at any time!"

"Launch approved! Jack... After you go to convey the order, as the last officer on board, enter the spaceship and leave here." Andre signed his name on the launch order, and then said.

"General! I was ordered to garrison here, and I have not been ordered to leave." The officer was taken aback for a moment, and then said.

"I order you to leave here, go and execute it!" Andre returned a military salute and ordered.

"You know... I can't disobey your order!" After the officer called Jack to salute, he explained with difficulty.

"Go! Son!" Andre patted him on the shoulder and nodded.

When Jack turned to leave, Andre turned his head and looked at the operation panels and monitors around which most of them had been cut off from the power supply. The abandoned documents scattered on the ground, I don't know what it feels like in my heart.

He personally supervised the construction of a large number of fortifications here and worked here for two years.

This place seems to be a world he built, a super weapon specially used for defense and killing!

The two years have filled him with affection for this place, so he is reluctant to give up here, leave, and those familiar clones who are not human beings who get along day and night.

"Humans, they really are animals with complicated emotions." He shook his head, walked out of the room, and when he reached the door, he looked back reluctantly for the last time.

Ten minutes later, on the hour...According to the plan, the rocket should be launched at this time. At the same time, the power supply here, which is the rocket launch center and temporary headquarters, will also be cut off.

Sure enough, the lights turned off on time. At the same time, the rocket outside was also launched into the sky, and there was a huge roar. The headquarters could feel the obvious vibration because it was close to the launch tower.

After the shock, the light from the tail flame illuminated everything in the headquarters. Since the main power supply had been cut off, the lights here were already dim, and only the emergency lights were still faithfully performing their duties.

The tail flame illuminated the only medal on General Andre's chest, which was exchanged for the scars all over his body when he was a soldier.

Walked down the stairs along the dim light, and walked to the front of the elevator step by step. The lieutenants and guards waiting there pressed the button of the elevator.

Several people walked into the elevator box, and then pressed the terrifying number -15. It's for the Commander, it's the safest place on the planet.

Fifteen minutes later, the watchman's troops descended from the sky and engaged in a fierce battle with the Airan Hill Imperial Air Force guarding the Higgs 5.

Explosions are everywhere in the sky, and fighter jets from the Alan Hill Empire can be seen falling at any time. At the same time, a large number of them fell, as well as the Warden's fighter jet in the atmosphere - the Prowler.

The live-streaming swordsman of the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect who was stationed on the ground turned on his mobile phone again, but found that the signal of the civilian equipment had been completely interfered, and it was impossible to connect to the network at all.

"What should I do?" Looking at the mobile phone with no signal, the swordsman muttered depressingly. He also counted on the live broadcast to wake up his sleeping colleagues.

"No way..." The clone grenadier beside him looked at the sky and muttered: "The enemy is much more than we imagined..."
