Humans collapse into slag

"The cleaning of that battlefield lasted for more than ten years." Sheng Tiancheng said: "In the end we decided to keep a part of it, including the wreckage of the Pioneer."

Liao Yuning was a little puzzled, "I remember that the war history book said... nothing was left on the Pioneer."

Sheng Tiancheng looked at Liao Yuning, as if thinking about it, and then said: "The history written in the history books is not equal to the truth, and the Wuwangshan National Cemetery is not all. Since you want to follow the path of Marshal Liao, there are some things you must know .”

What do you mean?

Sheng Tiancheng's eyes were very complicated, which gave Liao Yuning a strange feeling, as if today's trip was not just a simple memorial ceremony, but must also include something else.

A few minutes later, a small, high-speed craft pulled out of Lookout's ship tunnel.

There are only Sheng Tiancheng and Liao Yuning on this spaceship, and the destination is an airspace on the edge of the spiral magnetic field in Righeim, not far from the Hourglass galaxy.

After a short space jump, radar images of many things appeared on the light screen of the spacecraft.

Countless wreckage, cruisers, frigates, battleships, transport ships, space fighters, escape capsules, and scattered parts of space turrets...

Those battlefield relics quietly floated in the bottomless space, there was no light, no sound, only death-like silence.

It was obviously not the first time for Sheng Tiancheng to come to this place, he skillfully steered the spaceship through the gap of the wreckage until the Pioneer appeared in the center of the screen.

With just one glance, Liao Yuning knew it was the Pioneer.

As the main flagship of the Silver Shield Corps, the Pioneer was transferred to the United Corps after the outbreak of the war, and served as the ship of Liao Xingshen, the commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet.

Liao Yuning has been familiar with the legend about the Pioneer since he was a child. Even though only a part of this magnificent ship is left at this time, he still will not admit his mistake.

In front of the huge wreckage of the Star Destroyer, the spaceship they were on was pitifully small.

The small spaceship flew along the outer edge of the Pioneer, and the searchlight emitted by the small spaceship slowly slid across the broken hull. From those hideous breaches, countless cracked decks and exposed electronic equipment could be seen.

This is the real national cemetery.

In contrast, everything about Wuwang Mountain seems unreal.

Those grassy gentle slopes, those neatly trimmed green plants, and those rows of tombstones are completely another world.

As the distance approaches, the scene outside the porthole can be seen clearly with the naked eye.

"That's the bridge." Sheng Tiancheng said suddenly.

As a space-class star destroyer, the bridge of the Pioneer is very large. Even though most of it has been blown up, the remaining part is still quite large.

The searchlight penetrated into the depths of the bridge, illuminating the operating consoles, deformed seats, and twisted porches that had been scorched by high temperatures, while the places that were not touched by the light were still a bottomless darkness.

Liao Yuning's heart suddenly became heavy and depressed.

Is this what Liao Xingshen saw before he died?How similar to the ending of my previous life...

Just as Liao Yuning was immersed in his thoughts, Sheng Tiancheng spoke quietly, his voice was unhurried, as if he was talking to himself.

"The dark matter laser cannon can pierce through all armor and shields. It was already the end of the war, and the Herald's protective field had insufficient energy, and the attack came from the rear, so it only lasted for ten seconds."

At first, Liao Yuning didn't react, and then those words entered his brain.

Dark matter laser cannons, the end of the war, coming from the rear...all the information made up a terrible fact.

That's impossible!

Liao Yuning stared at Sheng Tiancheng suddenly, "What did you say?"

The dark matter laser cannon is a weapon equipped by the Imperial Army fleet.

There is no record of Zerg ships firing dark matter laser cannons, and their weapon systems are quite different from those of the Silver Ash Empire.

"In the textbook of war history, the Pioneer was destroyed by the Zerg attack." Sheng Tiancheng looked at the porthole with distant eyes, "But in the real history, the Pioneer was destroyed by the bombardment of friendly ships."

"This, this is ridiculous." Liao Yuning frowned.

"Absurd?" Sheng Tiancheng asked, "So you think everything was an accident?"

The meaning of the other party's words is self-evident.

Liao Yuning's breathing was stagnant, and it took a few seconds before he said in a deep voice: "Is it not an accident?"

"After the war, all the large warships damaged during the war were repaired and supplemented, with the exception of two." Sheng Tiancheng said: "One is the Pioneer, and the other is the Peak."

The Pinnacle, a Star Destroyer belonging to the Immortal King's Legion during the Zerg War, has rarely been mentioned in the war history, because the Pinnacle is an important force defending the imperial capital and rarely appears on the frontal battlefield.

After the war, the Pinnacle was quickly decommissioned, and the Immortal King Legion activated the New Era as its main flagship.

In the new era, a new world symbolizing peace and victory, it seems reasonable that the name of the ship Zenith was not inherited.

Liao Yuning settled down and said: "The battle is fierce, the scene is chaotic, and accidental injury is inevitable."

Sheng Tiancheng said coldly: "After the third battle of Righeim, a special investigation team was set up at the headquarters of the United Legion. After several years of investigation, the matter finally came to nothing. John Fiennes soon retired due to health reasons, and lived in seclusion in the Southern Triangle on the edge of the Cepheus Starfield, and never returned to Diji until his death."

"Bohan Fiennes?" Liao Yuning repeated the name in a low voice.

He knew several Fiennes, but he had no recollection of this Burnham Fiennes, doubtless not mentioned in the history of war.

"Yes, Bohan Fiennes, he is a direct descendant of the Fiennes family, and the nephew of Cade Fiennes, the former commander of the Immortal King Legion." Sheng Tiancheng said in a cold tone: "If it was just an accident, he would be like this Do you live like a prisoner in the Southern Triangle?"

Liao Yuning: "Your Majesty...do you know?"

Sheng Tiancheng raised his eyebrows, "During the time when the false emperor came to court, the Fiennes family was the emperor's supporter, but the relationship between them was not so much support as cooperation, until the end of the Zerg war, Kaide Fiennes retreated to the second line, and the emperor really took control of the Immortal King Legion."

"No." Liao Yuning shook his head in shock, "Impossible!"

Liao Xingshen, the famous and legendary God of War, is the goal he has been pursuing all his life; Yuan Chang Emperor Fan Lang, the rare emperor of the Fan Dynasty in a hundred years, is an existence like looking up at the clouds and the sun, and looking up at the mountains.

Some people now say that Liao Xingshen actually died due to the internal strife among the top officials of the empire, and the emperor condoned this incident, and then compromised with the instigator, thereby grabbing huge benefits.

Liao Yuning subconsciously wanted to deny it, but he was a little at a loss: "There must be something wrong."

Sheng Tiancheng looked at Liao Yuning with pity in his eyes.

Liao Yuning suddenly closed his mouth, clenched his teeth and stopped talking, his face calmed down, suppressing all the emotions that were exposed.

An hour later, the high-speed small spacecraft returned to the mothership.

The two walked down the gangway of the spaceship, Sheng Tiancheng walked in front, and Liao Yuning followed.

"Go back and rest." Sheng Tiancheng said.

Liao Yuning stood at attention, nodded in greeting, turned around and left without saying anything.

Judging from the back view, the young officer's figure is still tall and straight, his steps are sharp and firm, but he has a decisive and cold aura.

Fifteen minutes later, the Imperial Army's Liaison Department in Andain, the Temporary Office of the Lookout.

Juno: "Dad, Liao Yuning is here."

"Ning Ning is here?" Mu Rong, who was using the virtual cabin, immediately stopped his work, "Save the progress and exit."

Liao Yuning didn't come here many times, and each time he made an agreement on the communicator in advance, so this visit was rather abrupt.

Something must have happened.

But no matter what, it is a good thing that Ning Ning can come to find him!

Mu Rong quickly exited the system, opened the virtual hatch cover, and climbed out from inside.

The expatriate office of the Liaison Department of the Imperial Army in Andain on the Lookout is a suite. In addition to the office area and reception area, there are two separate cabins.

Since Mu Rong came here alone this time, he took up two cabins, and one of them was used as a study room for the virtual cabin.

Colonel Mu was a little impatient when he thought of his sweetheart waiting outside the door.

But after walking out of the study, Mu Rong still took a look at the door of the bedroom to make sure that the room was clean and orderly, and he could meet people, so he opened the door with confidence.

It is said that a tidy man will make his partner feel safe.

The office door opened, and Liao Yuning, who was standing outside the door, raised his head with complicated eyes.

Mu Rong immediately sensed something was wrong, "Ning Ning?"

Liao Yuning didn't answer, he walked straight into the office, stopped near the porthole, and then turned around suddenly.

Mu Rong quickly closed the door, "What happened?"

"Senior." Liao Yuning took a deep breath, "Do you know the truth about the Pioneer?"

Mu Rong was startled, "What truth?"

"Today someone told me that the final blow to destroy the Herald did not come from the Zerg mothership, but from the Pinnacle, the flagship of the Immortal King Legion." Liao Yuning stared at Mu Rong, as if trying to see from the latter's face some clues.

Mu Rong frowned: "Who told you?"

Liao Yuning: "You already knew?"

Mu Rong: "Uh, I've heard about it before, but I actually know very little about it."

Although the words were vague, Mu Rong did not deny it.

"It turns out that those are all fake." Liao Yuning only felt that something was expanding in his heart, and his breathing became rapid, "The whole ship of the Pioneer died for the country, what a tragic and tragic history, it is all fake..."

"No, Ning Ning." Mu Rong tried to appease Liao Yuning, "Those are true, the tragedy is true, and the tragedy is also true. The mistakes of the Pinnacle cannot obliterate the sacrifice of the Pioneer."

"So, what about the post-war special investigation team?" Liao Yuning looked at Mu Rong with an aggressive tone, "Why did Cade Fiennes retreat to the second line? Why did Burnham Fiennes retire early? Why did the Fiennes family Give up the control of the Immortal King Legion?"

Mu Rong was silent for a few seconds, before considering: "In the later stages of the Zerg War, due to the huge consumption of combat power, the empire was on the verge of collapse. The country needs cohesion, something that can inspire people and unite the people, so that investigation cannot be made public. It can only be done in secret, and as far as I know, the results of the investigation have been inconclusive."

"There is no conclusion?" Liao Yuning sneered, "It turns out that what I have heard and seen since I was a child, and what I am willing to do everything for, are just facts that I don't know are true or false, and there is no conclusion." thing!"
