Chapter 288 The Afterglow of the Empire

In the years when they knew the future was dark, they paid too much for their ideals and beliefs.

Now that everything was suddenly made clear, Lao Qian felt very uncomfortable.

Pain, confusion and other emotions filled his heart in an instant.

"Old buddy, do you think everything we have done in these years is worth it?"

Lao Qian was a little confused.

Since the collapse of the empire, he has returned with the expeditionary force regardless of everything. In order to regain the lost territory and restore the glory of the empire in the past, he has fought on the front line almost every day.

In the long-term battles, the old soldiers who were with him at that time died one after another.

He also led the young recruits to sing war songs, trapped in the enemy camp, and fought bravely!

But now, he is a little confused.

Is it worth it to persist for so many years and sacrifice for so many years?

Looking at Lao Qian, who looked confused and even a little decadent, a bright smile appeared on the face of Xuewei III.

The holographic projection stepped forward gently, and the illusory arm was placed on Lao Qian's shoulder, and he said in a very firm tone: "It's worth it!"

"All our sacrifices and all our efforts are worth it!

It is our persistence that keeps the flag of the empire flying in the starry sky of Betales;

It is our sacrifice that keeps the glory of the empire still singing in the civilization of the southern star field;

We are honored by the empire, and the empire should be proud of our persistence!"

After speaking, Blood Wei III turned his head and looked through the window at the induction that suddenly lit up outside the fortress, with a tone of regret and determination.

"Now, it's time for us to draw a perfect end for the empire!"

At this moment, the confusion in Lao Qian's heart was swept away, and an amazing fighting spirit burst out of his old body, and a roar echoed in the space station for a long time:

"Fight to the death!"

...

"Sir, are you really not joking?"

Ola looked at Blood Wei III with a look of surprise on his face.

Anyone who hears someone suddenly say that they want to disband civilization and hope that you will accept more than 10 billion people will be surprised.

"Sir Aura, you should be very clear about the current situation in the Betales star field.

Facing the super flagship fleet of the free camp, we have no chance of winning.

We soldiers should fight bravely and die on the battlefield, but I have to make plans for these unarmed civilians."

Blood Wei III told the facts calmly without hiding anything.

"How long can you hold out for the evacuation of civilians?"

Aura did not refuse, and asked more straightforwardly.

Now New Eden needs enough population, so of course Aura is happy to meet Blood Wei III's request.

And even if he doesn't say it, Aura will migrate enough people to New Eden after the defeat of the Betales Federation.

There is no other reason, the current population gap in New Eden is too large!

Aura agreed so readily, but it surprised Blood Wei III.

Seeing Bloody Wei III's surprised expression, Aura did not hide it and said frankly:

"New Eden is too big and has too many planets. We need enough people to colonize and create more benefits."

Bloody Wei III was not surprised by Aura's reason, because this was one of the reasons why he was sure that New Eden would accept the population of the Betales Federation.

He still had some investigation and understanding of New Eden.

Bloody Wei III looked at Aura and chuckled and said, "I thought you would at least hesitate because of the justice order.

I didn't expect..."

As he said that, he couldn't help shaking his head.

It seems that New Eden is confident about this matter!

Aura also smiled at this and said with a righteous face:

"As a member of the justice order, isn't it normal for New Eden to carry out humanitarian rescue?"

After that, the two smiled at each other.

The reason why Bloody Wei III allowed civilians to integrate into New Eden is very simple.

The defeat of the Betales Federation was a foregone conclusion. He did this just because he didn't want their civilians to become slaves of the Free Camp.

He didn't want his civilians to be treated like livestock in the market and sold without dignity.

He just wanted to leave them a dignified way to live, nothing more.

"Anyway, this time New Eden has solved a big problem for us.

Old rules, fair trade."

After saying that, Blood Wei III opened his palm and revealed a black box.

Looking at the black box, the pupils of Aura, the bionic robot, couldn't help shrinking, and his voice was full of surprise.

"Ancient ruins?"

Aura's expression change did not hide from Blood Wei III's eyes, and then he looked down at the black box in his palm.

"It seems that this ancient heritage is indeed related to you!"

As he said that, he handed the priceless black box to Aura without hesitation.

"Then our deal is done!"

Aura resisted the urge to investigate the black box right now, and said to Bloodrose III with a serious face.

"If this black box is as I thought, then this deal is enough for New Eden to give everything for you.

It is not impossible to even give everything to help you win this war.

It doesn't matter even if we are enemies of the two camps. Are you really sure that you just want us to accept civilians?"

Aura looked at the vague symbol on the black box in his hand, and his heart was already in turmoil.

If everything is as he guessed, then it would be a big deal...

Blood Wei III was not surprised by Aura's frank attitude towards the black box. This was within his expectations.

Waved his hand and rejected Aura.

Blood Wei III did not doubt what Aura said, and the determination of New Eden to pay for this black box.

"No need, Betales Federation, the afterglow of our empire should also end..."

Looking at Blood Wei III with a free and easy face, Aura was silent for a while, and then saluted him with a standard military salute.

Then turned and left.

Aura did not dissuade Bloodrose III from his choice, because if he were in this position, he would make such a choice.

To die with the motherland for which he has fought, persisted, and fought is the highest honor for all soldiers.

Why not die for the motherland calmly?

When the deal with New Eden was reached, the two major fortresses of the Betales Federation had already fallen and were destroyed one after another by the super flagship fleet of the Black Flag Legion.

Of the six mixed fleets, only less than twenty Hell Angel-class battleships returned with the seriously injured Old Qian.

All the others died in battle, and no one was captured.

The front-line interstellar battlefield has been declared collapsed, and the landing fleet of the Freedom Camp has also begun to land on the planets in the galaxy under the cover of the fleet.

At this moment, Bloodrose III issued an order to all the troops of the Betales Federation.

"Fight to the death for the glory of the empire!"

At this moment, the Betales Federation officially changed its name and returned to its former name.

Betales Empire-FA Expeditionary Force!

Ahem, it’s a little late. By the way, I would like to advise everyone to be moderate and take care of their health.
