Earth Invasion

Chapter 458 Choose

"Arise, hungry and cold slaves, arise, sufferers of the world. The blood is boiling..."

Among the rubble in the inner ring, the three cruisers, seven destroyers, and 10 frigates of the Assyrian return fleet were flying slowly and fast, while avoiding the rubble flexibly.The control personalities on the three cruisers that have been activated for more than five years are an inestimable wealth for the Assyrians who are still relatively weak in battleship operations.They use the Internet to grasp the operation of the entire fleet, and constantly correct the non-standard operations of those young sailors who returned to the fleet.

The bridge of the flagship Dawn was very quiet, except for Miss Roy's soft humming of the Internationale.They haven't put on their spacesuits as planned.But the alert level of the entire fleet has been upgraded to orange, ready to enter the battle state at any time.

Roy loved the song, or all the Assyrians back in the fleet loved it.When they were working on Jupiter, the SCO engineers who were in charge of teaching them, with various purposes, taught this battle song to these Assyrians who came here from [-] light-years away to work hard. people.Maybe it's genuine sympathy, maybe it's a kind of curiosity, and some people just have a strange impulse.

Unlike Etherine gritting her teeth or Laverne singing this song solemnly, Roy hums this song softly with a kind of lingering sadness.She seems to be talking, but also seems to be remembering.Laverne once said that she turned a passionate war song into a sad poem.

But Roy still enjoys it, even if Estherine broadcasts her measurements to the whole fleet, she doesn't care.

"If you are so impassioned, someone must come to remember those comrades who fell on this road. Then I will do it well." Roy said.

Over time, she developed the habit of humming the song softly on the bridge.Whenever she sang, the bridge would become very quiet.

After Roy hummed this song today, he didn't calm down, but turned on the radio of the entire fleet.

"Comrades, my brothers and sisters. I am Roy Rolls Acaster, once a cowardly, little doctor."

"Roy..." Estherine whispered softly on her Yongzhihua, and then turned the volume to the maximum.And similarly, Laverne did the same thing on King Alslon XI.

"One minute ago, Glider 1 sent us the latest battlefield intelligence and azimuth coordinates through quantum communication. The battleship Ruby of the Circulator Association on which Her Majesty Queen Rivendell and Prince Khadra took together with the Sunspot in the space circle The capital ship and its fleet have started to accelerate at maximum speed, and will soon join the attack of the NATO large fleet. According to the agreement, we, the three cruisers and 17 destroyers of the Assyrian return fleet will do our best to join Go through this tragic battle. In this war, the space circle has lost 5 cruisers and 1 capital ship, and more than half of the destroyers and frigates have only been sunk. And NATO is not easy, they lost 9 cruisers , a capital ship was seriously injured, and the number of destroyers and frigates was reduced by more than one-third. It can be said that this is already a super war that we could not have imagined before. These huge battleships can easily turn our planet into a piece of scorched earth There's a battle going on in space. And we're going to be in a fight that's still not clear who will win."

"But what I want to say is that many of us will fall on this road to our national independence and freedom, just like our brothers and sisters who have already fallen on this road. Maybe it's me, maybe it's you , maybe it was him."

"I don't regret it! I don't regret putting my name on that agreement more than three years ago. Maybe I'll be fine in Selaronte, under the blessing of the SCO Star Destroyer. I also don’t regret boarding this warship, and then turned around and rushed to this bloody battlefield. Maybe I found an ordinary SCO worker on Jupiter to marry as a wife, and now I even got a residence permit.”

"But I didn't choose these things. I think everyone has thought about it, but I still chose this bloody road! Because we were born free!"

"We are going to fight! Maybe we won't see tomorrow, but I believe that dawn will come after all!"

On Glide [-], Dongfang Hao simultaneously played Roy's words to the entire battleship.Although she spoke in Assyrian, the communication system of the personal terminal faithfully translated her words.

When the last words fell and the returning fleet on the star map began to move, Sophie couldn't help poking Dongfang Hao beside him.

"What's the matter?" Dongfang Hao didn't know what he was thinking.

"You should also mobilize. Look at everyone, they all look a little shocked by this little girl."

"Shocked?" Dongfang Hao glanced at the group of people who were completely different from the usual messy bridge, "I guess I'm ashamed."

Ashamed?Sophie looked disbelieving, did these guys have the word "ashamed" in their dictionary?
"Don't believe it. When a group of mediocre, inactive and drunken people meet these people who put their lives on the balance of fate in order to take responsibility for themselves, the first reaction will be embarrassing."

"Mr. Captain, if you want to scold us, please say it directly. This method of coming from behind the head will be hated." Takamachi Feite lay on the display console in front of him, speaking indistinctly talking.

"So?" Dongfang Hao looked at the people who seemed to be shrouded in an unmotivated atmosphere on the entire bridge.

"At least some impassioned mobilization."

"Mobilization?" Dongfang Hao slowly became serious, "What's the point of mobilization? If you really want to talk about mobilization, I want to ask everyone, what are you fighting for?"

There was silence.Why fight?It seems that I have never thought about this problem.Because of an order?Because of his military status?for money?It doesn't seem to be the case.We seem to be fighting because of some inertia.Sophie and the others can also be said to be fighting for that ID card, but after having this card, what are they fighting for?

"I don't know." Mei Manyue said simply, "Captain, why are you fighting?"

"Me?" Dongfang Hao let out a long breath, "Maybe, it's to witness something."

"witness?"

"Yes. Witness what direction our civilization will go in the end. We now have three directions, one is the complete law of the jungle, the other is limited, the integration of solidified classes, and the other is parallel to each other, slowly merging and coexisting The way. Which one is correct? No one seems to be able to give us the answer, because from the perspective of the human race, this is just a battle between the two races for living space, and there is no difference between good and evil, good or evil. No matter what kind of road it is, it is the result of our choice, and we will also bear the consequences of this choice. When our respective methods cannot be compromised, we still have to use guns to speak, because thousands of years Come on, that’s how we came here. Since we haven’t directly broken this simple and crude way of solving problems, we can only participate in it. Then, witness the history of mankind here!”

We have chosen the path, and we must realize it.We stand at a fork in the evolutionary road. When we cannot convince each other with words, we can only use our fists.

The absolute black body cladding of Glide No. [-] has been repaired, and the deflection electric field is no longer a problem, and the silicon carbide armor plate is far less important than luck in this kind of battle, so I let him go.

Michelangelo gently lifted the rudder wheel out, and the camouflaged gravel covering Glide No. [-] was pushed away one by one.The road was clear, and the propulsion array began to emit a dazzling white light.This battleship, which was snatched from NATO, embarked on the journey again.This may be the last time it will participate in such a breathless battle.

On the bridge, Dongfang Hao sat firmly on his captain's seat, and beside him, Pandora was still wearing a long black dress, sitting in mid-air.

"Darling, you are more and more able to look at the development of things with the eyes of an outsider. I am very pleased."

"As you said, it's impossible for me to look at things without the nature of my own existence. In layman's terms, this is an ass problem, and the ass determines the head. But, can't you give me a hint?"

"I am an observer, not a judge. This is the rule. You choose the path yourself. I will only inform you of the result after the path selection is completed. I cannot interfere with the rest."

"Even if our choice is ridiculously wrong?"

"Civilization must grow by itself. Civilizations distorted by external forces will only perish prematurely and never reach their desired heights. Believe me, Darling, this is the advice of an observer." Pandora was still speaking in the tone of a complete bystander .

"It doesn't matter if we fight because of a multiple-choice question?" Dongfang Hao's words sounded like a week of testing.

"Darling, war is also a way of choice, a means for the survival of civilization. Observers do not deny war. As long as this kind of war is the self-choice of civilization, observers will not interfere."

"You are so irresponsible."

Pandora laughed, and then disappeared abruptly.

And far away, Glide [-]'s enemy tracking system can already detect the explosion of the high magnetic field in the distant deep space.

This will be a brutal battle.
