1574 Rest in Peace
Chris stepped onto the podium in a huge hall that was so spacious that it made one's scalp tingle.
There are microphones piled up in front of him, and not far from him, there are all kinds of cameras broadcasting live across the country. Behind him hung two rows of imperial eagle banners, separated by the red imperial royal banner.
As the emperor of the empire, Chris wore a white dress with golden ribbons and various medals hanging on his chest.
The golden epaulettes shone brightly under flashlights and spotlights, and the cuffs of the white dress, which had been ironed to perfection, were embroidered with golden vines.
After walking to the podium, he made a saluting gesture, and the tens of thousands of people present then sat back in their seats.
Chris moved closer to the microphone and started this speech: "Actually, I don't want to stand here and preside over such a meeting! The empire has been on the road to victory from the day it was born until today...until Nowadays."
"The empire can achieve its glory today, relying on countless loyal and brave men who shed their blood and sacrificed their lives on the battlefield!"
"Those warriors who died on the battlefield in the past ten years or so, I will always remember them in my heart and dare not forget them. I know that you, like me, miss these great people who died for the country!"
"Today, in the Higgs region, on the Higgs 4 and Higgs 5 planets, there are still countless soldiers fighting for the empire. They are facing the most brutal enemy, and they are fighting with several times the number of Enemy fight!"
"Even if they were smashed to pieces, they did not take a step back! Why are they so brave? It is to let the compatriots of the motherland behind them bathe in the sunshine of peace!"
"In the Higgs theater, we have hundreds of soldiers killed every minute! Some of them are clones, some are puppet robots, and some are real natural people, elves, dwarves, dragons, orcs, demons... They are all real warriors, I'm so proud of them!"
"Although I know, I will definitely avenge them, and I will kill those bastards who show off their power in my country with my own hands! But..."
"But today, they did sacrifice their precious lives for me! The territory of the empire is still being invaded by the enemy at this moment, and those bastards who call themselves the watchmen are still raging on Higgs 4 and Higgs 5!"
...
On the battlefield of Higgs 5, in the underground bunker, under the light flickering slightly due to the instability of the current, the clone grenadiers of the Ireland Hill Empire were leaning against the slightly damp concrete wall, looking through the sandbags. Looking at the other end of the dark passage in the distance.
That's where the enemy is attacking.
He had just retreated from that direction. All his comrades-in-arms have been killed, and now he is left alone on this position.
There was still dried blood on the ground, and the corpses of his companions were neatly placed on the other side, which was his last respect to the martyrs.
...
Alan Sirius, in the conference hall, Chris was still speaking slowly: "Their warships are still fighting us! Their butcher knives are still hanging over the heads of all the peace-loving people of the Alan Sirius Empire!"
"We will never agree to this kind of thing! We will fight for the empire! We will fight for glory! We will fight for the right to survive!"
"The gloomy pines and cypresses are bowing their heads in silent mourning. Quietly, you are lying on the battlefield of Higgs 5, playing a silent love song like a dreamy mountain..."
"The heroes who have been buried on the Higgs 5 planet... Today, with deep sorrow and admiration, we express our deep respect and deep condolences to you!"
...
In the underground bunker of Higgs No. 5, the damp concrete wall vibrated slightly, and cracks began to appear on one side of the wall. The only remaining grenadier frowned, then raised his weapon and aimed at the increasingly The bigger the crack.
Suddenly, the area around the crack shattered, and a Sweeper soldier poked his head out. Just as he saw the scene in front of him, a bullet from an electromagnetic rifle pierced his forehead.
"Tug, chug!" The grenadier with his rifle pulled the trigger, pouring countless bullets near the exit of the tunnel opened by the sweepers.
One after another, the sweepers were shot and fell, their screams echoed throughout the tunnels of the underground bunker along with the gunshots.
On the other side of the passage, in the darkness where you can't see your fingers, densely packed sweepers rushed out of the darkness, and rushed towards the Alan Hill Empire's position with the flashing muzzle light.
...
In the hall with bright lights and incomparable solemnity, Chris’s voice echoed: “In countless cruel battles, you have carried forward the noble spirit of patriotism and fearlessness. You are brave and tenacious, you have fought one after another, fought the enemy bravely, and did not give up easily One inch of the empire's land!"
"You have successfully completed various combat missions, won one victory after another, demonstrated national prestige and military prestige, and created many heroic deeds that swallow mountains and rivers and shake the enemy's courage!"
"During the more than one month-long battle on Higgs 5, a large number of heroes and individuals with outstanding military exploits emerged, composing a mighty and majestic song of triumph with their blood and lives."
"You, like a piece of coal, like a bundle of firewood, ignited and burned those arrogant enemies! You brought fear to the enemy, turned into light, and illuminated the future of the empire!"
"In order to defend the territory of the empire and the dignity of the people of Alan Hill, you have fulfilled your promise and fought to the last moment!"
...
"Go to hell!" Seeing that the surrounded grenadiers tore off the ring of a grenade, they threw the grenade into the army of sweepers rushing through the tunnel.
"Boom!" Accompanied by the earth-shaking explosion, the opponent's attack seemed to be delayed for a moment.
Taking advantage of this moment, the grenadier picked up another electromagnetic rifle that had been loaded with ammunition in advance, and started to shoot again.
Black energy clusters flew over his head from time to time, and explosions exploded around him one after another. In the middle of a hail of bullets, he emptied another magazine, then he dropped the rifle in his hand and grabbed another electromagnetic rifle from the ground.
"Ah!" Already hysterical, he started shooting again, killing the sweeper soldiers who were about to cross the sandbags.
On the other side of him, the sweepers who had smashed the wall finally found their chance and got out of the narrow gap.
"Crack!" The enemy was close at hand, and the grenadier tore off the ring of another grenade, and threw the grenade into the corpses of his companions lined up against the wall.
On top of these corpses, there was also a large pile of explosives and grenades scattered there deliberately.
"Boom!" This time it was really shaking, the entire tunnel collapsed in a tragic explosion, darkness swept everything, and the rising dust and mist wreaked havoc in the small space, and then everything fell into silence.
...
With his chin raised, Chris said in a heavy tone amidst the flashing lights: "You have sacrificed your precious lives heroically, you have sacrificed your body, you have carried the heaviest burden, and you have left all the beauty behind you. motherland!"
"I promise! What you leave behind is definitely not a pile of dead ashes. The grass of prosperity will become greener for you, the flowers of freedom will bloom redder for you, and the younger generation of the Alan Hill Empire will be even more grow strong."
"You will not sacrifice in vain, because there will be countless successors who will take over the burden from your hands! They will continue to move forward and pass on the eternal inheritance of Alan Hill!"
"Although your life is so short, its value is so precious; you dedicate your life to the people of the motherland, and your golden... the shining brilliance that symbolizes the national spirit will always shine on those who come later and inspire the next generation. One generation...the next generation will march forward bravely to create an eternal empire that is as bright as iron!"
"Cough...cough...cough..." Ripping off his mask, he spat out a mouthful of blood. In the gap between the collapsed cement stones, the clone grenadier of the Ireland Hill Empire found his Half of the body has been crushed under the gravel.
If it wasn't for the protective effect of the power armor, he might have died. He wanted to struggle, but the pain tormented him. In the end, he could only give up and enjoy his own moment of peace in the dark.
There are some sandbags around him, and it is these sandbags that help him hold up the falling stones, so that he survives by chance. He groped with the only remaining movable hand, and finally groped for something he was familiar with.
A grenade, a good grenade...
This thing has always been with him, helping him kill the enemy when he is fighting, and giving him courage when he is desperate.
Therefore, when he touched the grenade, he smiled, as if everything had its own will in the dark. He knew that his lower body was bleeding, and soon he would die due to excessive blood loss. Instead of doing this, it would be better to have a vigorous one.
So he used his thumb to pull off the pull ring on the grenade, and then pressed the safety lever of the grenade with his hand-after a while he lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss, his fingers would be released, and the grenade would explode.
With a bang, what a heroic life. Thinking of this, he smiled involuntarily, showing his blood-stained teeth.
At this moment, the stone in front of him moved, as if it was being moved away by something. In the next second, the stone was removed, and the ugly face of a sweeper appeared in front of the Grenadier.
"I didn't expect that there was a living person here!" There seemed to be a hint of surprise in the ugly voice of the sweeper.
To the surprise of the sweeper, the smile on the clone grenadier's face was even better at this moment. He let go of the hand that was holding the grenade, and then grinned loudly.
"Boom!" The explosion once again swept through everything, tearing apart the invaders and soldiers at the same time in the small space.
...
The speech mourning Higgs' fallen soldiers was still going on, and Chris's voice still echoed in the hall: "The spirit you created with your blood and life has penetrated into people's hearts and become the precious wealth of hundreds of millions of people."
"Today, I am here to call out to your souls, and I hope you can hear my call! I hope you can feel, I... as the emperor of the empire, the infinite reverence and affectionate memory of Alan Hill Chris."
"The monument engraved with the exploits of the warriors will stand high in Elanshire, and all descendants of Elanhill will pay homage here. It is the epitome of the spirit of the people of all ethnic groups in the Elanhill Empire, and it will tell everyone The true value of life! It will be a beacon, guiding every Elland Hills person to forge ahead."
"Now, when I stand here, it's as if you are standing beside us! Standing here, my heart is agitated, and I wish I could move forward side by side with you!"
...
"General! The main bunker No. 14 has just been lost... The commander over there persisted until the last moment. The tunnel collapsed, and the ammunition depot was detonated early..." On the surface of Higgs No. 5, in the headquarters at the lowest level of the main fortification, The adjutant lowered his voice and reported to Andre what just happened.
He paused for a moment, and then gave another bad news: "The anti-aircraft missiles have just been exhausted, and in another 24 hours at most, we may lose all air supremacy."
"At this time, we can only wait. I don't need to issue any more combat orders. This is the only thing we should do to stand firm until the last moment." Andre squeezed out a smile, watching He looked at the adjutant and said.
After finishing speaking, he looked at the officer beside him: "Turn up your voice, you have to listen to what His Majesty said to us specifically. This is our honor, a unique honor!"
From the loudspeaker of the receiver, there was a slightly disturbing voice of Chris: "If you are crystal water drops, humming battle songs all the way to the sea, then our brave soldiers will be like countless small water drops, follow Behind you, break through the stormy sea."
"If you are the stars in the universe, even though you have fallen, there will still be countless small stars radiating their faint light in the Milky Way."
"The rugged mountain road has been leveled by you, and the Golden Avenue will be opened by us. The ideal sail has been raised high. We will follow your footsteps and finish the road you have no time to finish. I swear to you here , Victory will always belong to the Alan Hill Empire!"
"I, and all the people of Ellandhill, will always remember your achievements and cherish the hard-won peace you bought with your blood and lives."
"Martyrs, rest in peace! Your souls are with me!" After this sentence, there was only a weak current sound in the receiver. A few seconds later, warm applause, through the speaker, Shan Huan Like a tsunami.
"You said, can my soul go back to my hometown?" Andre asked the adjutant.
The adjutant was taken aback for a moment, and then solemnly replied: "It will definitely be possible."
