planet.

There are not many planets in the interstellar space that are suitable for living things. Except for the home planets of most races, there are only a few planets discovered by chance.However, although this kind of planet can also provide the conditions for biological survival, the environment is relatively harsh and not suitable for ordinary people to survive.

However, even so, it is not easy to find a planet with conditions that are basically suitable for biological survival.

The meaning of the mother star to a race is extraordinary. Now that most races are gradually evacuating from the planet and moving to space to live in space in order to better protect the mother star, a planet that can really be used to live and live is already very is rare.

Especially for human beings, there is no home planet of their own, and this race has been drifting in the universe from birth to old age and death.The vast majority of people have never tried the feeling of stepping on the surface of a real planet with their feet throughout their lives.All his life, he has never breathed air from a real natural planet.

Therefore, when he set foot on this planet, Cheng Zhen trembled invisibly.

The wind and sand all over the sky were raging on the entire planet, and all the personnel who landed were wearing full-body cloaks that covered their faces, and because of this, no one saw his somewhat out of control expression at this time.

All creatures in the universe originate from planets. For all races, the pursuit of a natural planet in the essence of life is always hidden in the blood.But for Cheng Zhen, this meaning is different for him, and it is also different for all human beings.

Not only does it come from the desire in the blood, but the desire of human beings for a planet of their own can be said to never stop.

Even though this khaki-yellow planet is very different from the earth in space, Cheng Zhen still couldn't restrain himself the moment he saw this planet, and remembered the blue planet.

I thought of the mother star of human beings, and also the mother of human beings.

In which direction of the universe and in which starry sky is the planet that brewed the root of human blood now.

"Cheng Zhen, Cheng Zhen!"

Hearing the shout ringing in his ears, the black-haired boy turned around.He looked up at the man who called his name.

Randall also wore a face-covering cloak and mask, but even in such a violent wind and sand, the dazzling blond hair was still very conspicuous.

Captain Shadow narrowed his eyes, as if he was smiling, and at the same time, pointed behind him and said to the black-haired boy.

"Welcome to Master Rhine's secret territory, Storm Fortress."

Looking back, there seemed to be a huge black object in the middle of the raging wind and sand.Under the cover of the wind and sand, the huge black object is like a lurking black monster, lurking silently in the dark, waiting to capture lost prey.

"This, this is—!" His eyes widened, and Cheng Zhen was amazed by what he saw.

Under the cover of wind and sand, there is a huge fortress with no end in sight.As high as the sky, as deep as the bottom.

The fortresses built along the rolling mountains on the planet are perfectly integrated with the khaki-colored mountains. As the continuous mountains continue to the distance, there seems to be no end.

Like a giant dragon hovering over this planet, it exudes a menacing aura.Under the cover of the wind and sand flying around, the huge fortress building appears and disappears from time to time, giving it an unobservable sense of mystery.

The deep valley between the mountains is one of the entrances to this fortress.

Randall took Cheng Zhen down to the bottom of the valley on the elevator.Along with the slow descent, the visible sky at the bottom of the valley became narrower and narrower. At this time, Cheng Zhen couldn't help asking.

"Is this planet under the name of His Excellency the Chief of the United Front?"

Upon hearing this, Captain Shadow turned around and looked at Cheng Zhen with a smile. "Including all non-commissioned officers in the fortress and everyone and everything on this planet, they all belong to Mr. Rhine."

His words meant something, but Cheng Zhen didn't know whether he really didn't understand, or pretended not to understand, so he continued to ask. "The General Council allows private possession of planets?"

Because there are only a handful of planets in the interstellar world that can satisfy living things, except for the home planets of various races, every newly discovered survivable planet is under the strict monitoring of the General Council.Like Rhine, being able to build a fortress belonging to one's own troops on a planet is simply a fantasy.Even a planet with such a harsh environment is still a treasure in the interstellar world, and it cannot be easily owned by private individuals.

Randall laughed when he heard the words. "Under normal circumstances, it is indeed not possible, but this planet was originally discovered by Lord Rhine, and it is not suitable for ordinary life to survive except for combat troops. That's why the general council will give you a favor and assign this planet to Lord Rhine. as a secret base."

Human beings are desperately looking for a planet of their own, but nothing can be found, but Rhine can have a planet of his own, even a planetary fortress.Thinking of this, Cheng Zhen could only smile wryly.

It is impossible to say that there is no envy or even jealousy.But Cheng Zhen also understands that the reason Rhine is able to achieve what he is today is the result of fighting with his life on the battlefield.There are as many gains as there are risks at that time.

This kind of harvest gained step by step from the flames of war makes people only look up and admire secretly.

"arrive."

With a clang, the elevator descended to the lowest point of the valley. Randall took the first step and turned to face Cheng Zhendao.

"Welcome to the Storm Fortress of the Bertutans, Lord Rhine is waiting."

Stepping out of the elevator step by step, Cheng Zhen looked at the fortresses hidden under the rock walls on both sides of the valley, and the hazy sky above his head that almost formed a line.Taking a deep breath, he followed Randall without looking back, and walked towards the entrance of the fortress.

The fortress was built according to the mountains. I thought it was built inside the mountain. It wasn't until Cheng Zhen got closer that he realized that the buildings on the mountain were bunkers or some attack posts. The real fortress buildings were all below the surface.

Following Randall, after passing the inspection at the entrance of the fortress, he landed on the elevator again, until Cheng Zhen felt that he was almost reaching the core of the planet, and the elevator stopped.

As soon as you step out of the elevator, you will enter an unimaginably spacious underground hall.The interior of the empty and tall hall is enough to accommodate thirty space battleships, and the various Bertutan non-commissioned officers running in this hall are also busy without stopping.

Except that when Randall passed by, the nearby non-commissioned officers would stop their work and salute, the two of them passed through the hall almost without making any noise.Going deeper, there are underground passages extending in all directions, each passage connecting with each other and branching in different directions.

Here, it's like an underground labyrinth.

When Cheng Zhen and Cheng Zhen were about to pass through the hall, a group of non-commissioned officers in combat uniforms had just walked out of the elevator, and a group of people hurried past Randall and Cheng Zhen with pale faces, and did not even take the time to salute the officer .

And at the moment they passed each other, Cheng Zhen instantly sensed the aura of those people who were not used by ordinary soldiers.It was the bloody murderous aura from the real battlefield, exactly the same as the aura he had felt from Vickery's instructor.

This is a group of soldiers who have just retired from the real battlefield!

"It seems that the front line has changed." Randall frowned and looked at the pedestrian in the distance. "The units coming back from the front line are in such a hurry, it seems that the battlefield has changed again."

Staring at the pedestrian walking further and further away until he disappeared from sight, Randall remembered that he was still responsible for leading the way, and quickly turned around and smiled apologetically at Cheng Zhen who had been neglected by him. "Sorry, I'm a little distracted. I'll take you to your dormitory for the past few days now. It is estimated that Lord Rhine will not be free after this kind of thing happened. I will take you to see him later."

Cheng Zhen shook his head. "Your Excellency, United Front Work Commander, you should deal with the dangers of your official duties. See you later. It doesn't matter if I wait a while." Then he said. "The ones just now are soldiers who have retreated from the front line. If the matter is urgent, please don't mind me, please go and deal with this matter first."

"It's not our turn to worry. Lord Rhine and the people in the headquarters are worried. We just need to be responsible for killing the enemy on the battlefield." Randall smiled slightly. "As you guessed, those non-commissioned officers all retreated from the Algar defense line. It is estimated that there was another accident there. As expected, once this holiday is over, Lord Rhine and we will go to the defense line again to garrison."

The Algar line of defense is the only real battlefield that still exists in the interstellar world.There, the top non-commissioned officers of the interstellar world fought relentlessly against the invaders from the outside world.At present, four of the five emperors recognized by Interstellar are on the Algar defense line to resist foreign enemies, and Rhine, who is the only one in Interstellar, seems to be on the front line again in the near future.

From a young age, in the knowledge Cheng Zhen acquired, Algar seems to be synonymous with doomsday and region.

The enemies that retreated hundreds of years ago will still stretch out their aggressive claws from the Algar line of defense to the stars from time to time, and the interstellar warriors who are responsible for guarding the line of defense will sacrifice their lives on this line of defense one after another.The corpses of dead soldiers are already enough to fill a planet.

However, the General Assembly has never been easy to explain to the interstellar people about the Algar defense line.In most people's minds, it's just an area that's at war with extraterrestrial life.It has been strong and indestructible for hundreds of years, and it cannot be easily captured.

However, now that the four emperors have all gone to the front line, Rhine is going to be sent to the front line again.Is Algar Fortress really as strong as it is said in the legend?

Thinking of the hidden threats Rhine had said, Cheng Zhen remained silent.

After that, Randall took Cheng Zhen into an ordinary non-commissioned officer's dormitory, and left in a hurry.Presumably the intelligence on the front line is really urgent. Even though Randall still looks calm, he is really worried about the situation on the front line.Cheng Zhen thought, lay down on the bed, put his hands under his head and looked at the ceiling.

The only real battlefield, the Algar Line.What kind of war is the interstellar sergeant fighting there to defend against foreign enemies?

Looking at the monotonous metal ceiling, thinking about it, his consciousness gradually blurred and he fell into sleep.The long space voyage did make him a little tired.

Cheng Zhen has always been a light sleeper, even a little movement is enough to wake him up.

However, this time when he felt the breath of someone else in the room and opened his eyes suddenly, that person had already been in the room for a long time.

The figure sat at the table with his back facing him, casting a shadow under the dim light in front of the table, and the end of the shadow was just beside the bed, within reach of Cheng Zhen.

The black-haired boy who was startled from the bed was slightly stunned.

Maybe it's the reflection of light and shadow, maybe it's the quiet atmosphere in the room, what spreads between the two of them at this moment is an indescribable feeling.It seems that this person is always like this, silently and quietly, blending into his own life.

Just as Cheng was really thinking in a daze, the person sitting at the table turned around.Those light golden eyes, as always, were filled with unbearable emotions.

Rhine stood up from the table, walked to the bed, and looked down at the black-haired boy.

"It's good to be wary, but for me, there is no need to be so vigilant."
