back to Earth

Cheng Yu had already left, and Mi Saqi returned to school not long after the star burial ended, and Cheng Zhen was the only one left here.

The four emperors were too busy to separate themselves and had no time to see Cheng Zhen.Even Mo Yun, who always seems to be out of business, has been too busy to keep his feet on the ground these days.Cheng Zhen only saw him once from a distance, and the Emperor of the Silver Clan beckoned to Cheng Zhen from afar and then walked over.

As for Rhine, I heard that he didn't even take a step from the door of the office recently, and stayed inside all day long to handle official business.

The tense atmosphere before the war infected every frontline soldier.Everyone knows that that raid on the Eastern Front was just the first wave of enemy attacks.More massive attacks will follow.

The middle and senior officers on the front line are busy preparing for the war, and ordinary soldiers are busy preparing for the war.Cheng Zhen went straight into the training room without stopping, wishing that one day could be turned into two days.

It was the first time he faced a war at such close range, and he was a little nervous, a little excited, and a little dazed.

In a real battlefield, there will be a battlefield where people will die, and a battlefield where you will fight the enemy to the death.Cheng Zhen has been imagining what the day when the war really comes will be like?

However, he did not expect that this war started so silently, silently and ordinaryly.

It was only during a meal at noon that the sirens sounded throughout the Algar defense line, informing people that the battle had begun.Unlike Cheng Zhen's envisioned grandeur and mobilization of troops, the first shot of the war, like a small pebble falling into a pool, stirred up waves, but it was so subtle.

The moment everyone around heard the alarm, they all stopped their movements at the same time.Then the next moment, the soldiers in each position methodically threw themselves into their roles.Seeing the soldiers who hurriedly fastened their combat uniforms and left, Cheng Zhen, who was standing in the crowd, was at a loss for a moment.

"What are you still doing!"

Yasai sipped all over his body, bringing the black-haired boy back to his senses.

The war has begun!He should go where he is needed most!

The two hurriedly ran towards the No. [-] waiting room.Cabin No. [-] is the standby cabin exclusively for Rhine and the Shadow Squad, and it is the place where the elites of the entire emperor-level troops gather.

Cheng Zhen clenched the blue pendant in his hand and followed closely behind Yasai.

By the time they changed into their pilot suits and arrived at the cockpit, the rest of the Shadow Squad had already arrived one after another.

"Hey, newcomer! Don't be too nervous." Someone smiled and greeted Cheng Zhen, who was temporarily assigned to Shadow.

Cheng Zhen reluctantly raised the corners of his mouth, trying to say that he was not nervous, but finally gave up in the half-smile eyes of others.He is indeed nervous, I believe anyone can see it.

"This is no different from a simulated battle." Ya Saiti pointed out. "All we have to do is to win! The only difference is that if you die here, there will be no second chance."

"be careful."

Cheng Zhen nodded.In fact, he was not afraid of whether he would be injured or face death on the battlefield.He was nervous, and it was more of a kind of awe of facing the war directly.

Throughout the ages, wars have been both demons and angels.It has destroyed countless lives, but the beginning of new life often needs it to shape.

Opponents of war believe that there is no need for unnecessary wars, but sometimes, only through wars can an era of peace be ushered in.

Everyone involved in the war is a member of history.Is it victory?Still lose?

After waiting for the whole afternoon with incomprehensible emotions, Cheng Zhen and the other shadow teams did not wait for the order to attack.

Until the command room announced that the enemy's first attack had receded, they were still standing by without a single soldier.

"Disband." Temporary Captain Yasai ordered. "Be vigilant and prepare for the next meeting. Don't over-train when you go back, save your energy." The last sentence seems to be aimed at Cheng Zhen.

"Yes!"

The members of Shadow gradually left. Cheng Zhen walked towards the cafeteria again, clutching his stomach that had been hungry all day because of nervousness and excitement.

He feels like a foodie now.Eating, gathering, eating... On the contrary, there is no real sense of war.

It wasn't until he came to the public canteen that Cheng Zhen really realized the cruelty of war.

There was a faint smell of blood in the originally tidy cafeteria, and most of the soldiers who came to eat were wolfing down their meals, as if they hadn't finished their meal.

Cheng Zhen saw that many people had undergone treatment and were wearing bandages.There are also some seriously injured, and I am afraid they are still in the treatment room at this moment.Renner and the others are probably too busy to turn around.

"Did you find out?" Yasai asked suddenly, but he didn't specify what he was asking.

After a moment of silence, the black-haired boy replied. "Compared to the morning, there are 230 four people less." After he comprehended the domain, he became sensitive to the surrounding things, and the calculation of the number couldn't be easier.

Ya Sai ordered a set meal for himself and Cheng Zhen each, and sat down with them.

"These people, fortunately, are lying in the treatment room, but unfortunately, they will never come back."

Cheng is really sad.

"Except for them, among the group of people here now, there will still be people who will never come back when they attack next time. They know this in their hearts, but when they fight next time, they will still rush to the front line without hesitation to send their own. Life." Ya Sai looked at the black-haired boy.

"This is war."

You never know who will die under the gunfire the next moment, is it your comrades-in-arms, relatives and friends, or yourself?

Cruel, bloody, merciless battlefield.

"Why didn't you send us to fight?" Cheng Zhen asked suddenly.

Ordinary non-commissioned officers have already sacrificed so much, but the Shadow Squad stayed in the standby cabin for a whole day without moving a single person.

Asai glanced at him. "Because we are shadows."

With just this sentence, Cheng Zhen couldn't speak again.

Shadow is not only a title, but also represents an elite team with high combat effectiveness, and it is a heavy responsibility.

In many cases, the elite squad is not used at the beginning of the battlefield, but is used on the sword and blade, at the moment of decisive victory.You have elites, and your enemies have elites.If the strength of the elite troops is exhausted at the beginning of the war, the victory will be self-evident.

Ordinary non-commissioned officer?To put it bluntly, they are cannon fodder.Wave after wave to send lives, laying the foundation for the final outcome of the war.

Cruel?Say there is no humanity?

But it's not that they don't know that they are cannon fodder.So what if it's cannon fodder?No matter how grand a war is, it all starts with the contest of ordinary non-commissioned officers.Although they are cannon fodder, they are also the most unbreakable foundation.

It is precisely because they understand that the life they give can bring victory to their comrades-in-arms later on, these non-commissioned officers who were sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder will go on and never regret it.And even the shadow, in front of the emperor class, is nothing more than advanced cannon fodder.

This is what is forged layer by layer, group after group of people sacrificing themselves, and this is war.

A war made of coagulated blood.

Yasai patted the shoulder of the silent black-haired boy. "If you want to live up to them. The only thing you can do is to kill the enemy fiercely on the battlefield. In this way, the dead will not lose their lives in vain."

In the middle of the night, the second wave of enemy attacks started again.

This time the confrontation was obviously much more intense than the last time. Even in the standby cabin, Cheng Zhen could faintly see the light of artillery fire from the battle in the distant starry sky.The Shadow Squad still didn't play, but compared to the last time, Cheng Zhen was no longer so nervous and at a loss.

He already knew what he had to do.

The Shadow members guarding the waiting room obviously understood this earlier than him. Although there was no notice of going to war, everyone waited solemnly, and no one made a sound.

A suffocating silence enveloped the crowd.They know that the comrades who are fighting on the front line are paving a way for them with their lives.

And on this blood-stained road, they must do everything possible to kill the enemy!

"Shadow team with 32 members, ready to attack! The target is to assist the human army in the western theater."

The long-awaited battle notification finally sounded, and all Shadow members heaved a sigh of relief.Waiting here is more difficult for them than sending them to the battlefield to fight to the death.

Only Cheng Zhen was surprised.

The human army has already gone to war?Still on the Western Front!

He still remembered what the other party had said when he contacted Arthur, the leader of the human dragon wing army.

"Since you are already a traitor, you won't show mercy." There was disdain and cruelty in those cold red eyes. "You don't have to pity them. It's just a group of cowards who are driven crazy by reality and use another way to escape."

"If you really want to resist, why don't you show them a complete counterattack under the eyes of those who laugh at us?"

The leader of the human army sneered, describing the madness of Sean and the others in a disillusioned tone.

Now thinking of the other party's words, Cheng Zhen realizes his innocence and innocence.War is not a simple defense of right and wrong, but a more complex and profound confrontation than that.Whether it is Sean or Arthur, he is not as deep in thinking as they are in some aspects.Maybe there are many things he can't dialectically right or wrong, so there is only one thing he can do.

Become a warrior who guards the faith, and walks along the identified path without shrinking back!

"Morning Star."

Calling the name of his mech lightly, the dark silver projection of the mecha gradually emerged from the azure crystal and gradually became a reality.The shadow members who were about to board the cockpit also turned their heads back at the same time, looking at this beautiful and powerful mech, which is extremely rare in the entire interstellar.

The morning star, the star that cuts through the night sky, the star that breaks the dawn.

A star that brings hope.

Since he was determined to be the shining star in the sea of ​​stars, Cheng Zhen chose such a name for his half body.

"Shadow team with 32 members, go to the western front to assist the human army." Acting captain Ya Sai ordered in the team frequency.

"set off!"

The 32 mechas took off closely following each other, marching towards their battlefield with a fierce offensive and unyielding fighting spirit.

Everyone in the command room at the moment also saw this group of mechas flying across the sky.

In Rhine's eyes, the most special dark silver mecha was really like a beautiful star, cutting through the night sky and shining deeply into his eyes.
