Idle game leads to another world

From the time the Swan entered the atmosphere to the time the military base was completely captured and the remaining enemy soldiers surrendered, the battle lasted a total of eight hours.

The continuous battles made everyone very tired, but the morale of the soldiers of the Swirling Water Federation was extremely high.

This was not only a battle of revenge, but also a victory. The officer in charge of logistics said that you should look forward to the first big meal on the land of the Red Maple Republic. We must prepare some hard dishes for you tonight.

Everyone was very happy, but the officers had to consider much more than the soldiers.

The first thing was to deal with the prisoners of war and clean up the battlefield.

When the ground forces said to deal with the prisoners of war, it was really a literal deal. Let them dig their own pits, then machine gun them, and then bury them with their own bulldozers.

Finished.

However, not all of them were dealt with in this way. The officers were left behind. They would first undergo a big memory recovery technique to see if they could dig out some useful intelligence.

Of course, it was illegal to deal with prisoners in this way, but no one would care about these details. After all, the Red Maple Republic did the same thing.

The Xuanshui Federation Army was just giving back what they had done to the enemy, paying blood debt with blood.

In addition, some people were counting the supplies in the military base, and the friendly forces that went to the city to suppress the enemy occasionally sent communications requesting supplies and support. The big battlefield was over, but sporadic battles continued.

No matter how the ground forces dealt with it, the Swan did not belong to the same command system, but only carried out common operations and cooperated together.

But the Swan did not receive an order to return to the void, but received an order to help friendly forces defend against the enemy's counterattack.

The number of landing troops brought by the fleet was limited, and the large forces were still waiting for transport ships to be transported in. The suppression of this habitable planet has just begun.

The Swan did not have to wait until the entire planet was completely suppressed before returning to the void, but it had to help defend to prevent the strongholds just seized from being taken back by the enemy.

So the Swan now found an open space to land and wait for further news.

In the cheers of victory, the ground army also began to gradually do some preparations.

Fortunately, the people of the Red Maple Republic left in a hurry, and a large number of engineering machinery were left on the battlefield, many of which were still usable.

These things can allow the Whirlwater Federation Army to dig trenches again and rearrange defensive positions as quickly as possible.

Dui sat on a large rock not far from the Swan. This rock might have been blown up by orbital bombardment and fell nearby. You can see very eye-catching traces of the explosion on it. When you sit on it, you can even feel a little temperature.

He watched the soldiers unload the supplies stored in the Swan warehouse with a forklift, and also saw the injured Silver Whirlwind parked in a half-kneeling position not far from him. A group of mechanics led by Fang Lanyin were urgently repairing it.

In the base farther away, the medical team belonging to their own people had occupied the base's field hospital and began to treat the wounded. Dui could already foresee the scene of a large number of medals and death notices flipping back and forth in the logistics system.

As a crew member of the Swan, he didn't need to help unless Alyssa ordered him to, so Dui seemed to be very idle, sitting on the stone and smelling the breeze with the smell of gunpowder.

"What are you doing here?"

Cao Wei came over, Dui looked at her, and hesitated to speak.

"Forget it, I'm just looking for a place to relax."

"You are so heartless, but you still have something on your mind?"

".... You can't be so short-sighted."

Cao Wei now looks completely free of the madness during the battle. She has returned to her usual serious, serious and occasionally poking Dui.

Cao Wei sat down next to Dui and lit a cigarette:

"Tell me, what's the matter with your melancholy expression?"

"Nothing... Well, I'm just wondering, when will this war end."

"Of course it will end when we win."

"You said nothing..."

Dui sighed and lit a cigarette. The ration of this thing has a higher priority than food.

The two watched in silence for a long time before Dui said:

"Do we really have to fight until one side is exterminated before we stop?"

"I don't know."

Cao Wei said:

"But they started the fight first. No matter how the fight goes, they must accept the result."

Dui understood these principles, he just...

"When the war is over, you should leave the army."

Cao Wei suddenly said:

"You are not suitable to be a soldier."

"What kind of person is suitable?"

"Those who resolutely obey orders, those who are extremely determined, or those who are murderous by nature, will not be as sentimental as you."

Dui lowered his head:

"What about the honor of a soldier?"

"There is no honor in war."

"But a soldier without honor is just a vicious dog..."

Dui's family is full of loyal and brave people. They have been taught since childhood that as a soldier, they should maintain a sense of honor and contribute to the country.

But the real battlefield is completely different from what Dui thought.

"So I told you to leave the army after the war is over."

Dui smiled bitterly:

"My dad will definitely kill me. Besides, I don't know where to go except the army."

Since he could remember, he was trained to be a soldier. Apart from the skills needed in the army, Dui didn't know anything else.

"Then stay on the captain's ship. I think the captain is a good man. The life of a recycler should be more suitable for you."

"Won't you stay?"

"I..."

Cao Wei shook her head:

"I don't know. After the war is over, I may need a long period of recuperation."

Dui is not the only one who suffered psychological damage in this war.

Now everyone has only revenge and victory in their minds. When everything is over and they return to their daily lives, the nightmare on the battlefield will haunt this person for the rest of his life.

At this time, the two saw GP02 coming out of the hangar, which caused the soldiers passing by the Swan to cheer. Everyone has heard that there is a single challenger on the Swan, and the old man who has received medals is soft.

"I don't know how Li Chengxi solved his psychological problems. I heard from Hall that his fighting methods were extremely brutal, and he always aimed at the escape pods."

"Maybe he doesn't care at all."

Cao Wei said:

"Those who can kill countless people on the battlefield are either killers or they completely treat the enemy as non-human. I remember that Mechanic Fang mentioned that Li Chengxi seemed to treat all this as a game."

"Game?"

"Well, he seems to think that he is observing the world through the screen of the terminal. You and I are just a piece of code in the terminal, just because we are on the same front."

"His mentality is so strong..."

"Great poet, you'd better stop sighing. When the war is over, there will be plenty of time for you to moan without illness."

Cao Wei stood up and stretched out her hand to Dui:

"We still have the work of maintaining the ship. You should have rested enough."

Dui grabbed Cao Wei's hand:

"You are right. I have to be strong."

Dui jumped off the stone and glanced at the crimson sunlight that was gradually lowering.

The light looked like blood, and also like a sea...
