Chapter 1

Standard Tera calendar. 912.m41

In the void, many ships gathered together. The richly decorated ships full of battlements moved slowly in the silent darkness, as if to hold an epic rally.

The cathedral standing in the complex superstructure of the ship seems to be directly dug up from the ground and carved into the warship. The magnificent spire scrapes clear tracks among the stars.

Later, the carefully carved sagittal bow began to turn. The formation was majestic and powerful. They all turned to the dark direction.

The torch is burning, which is incompatible with the surrounding vacuum environment. The plasma flame from the chimney on the copper shell of the gun, which spreads for several kilometers, turbulent leaves a light orange wake in the space.

Such a signal can only be used before the conflict breaks out. Regardless of the consumed jet flame, it emits scorching heat, which is a signal to convey to the enemy——

"We have brought the light of destruction"

The giant ship with dark green armed bow leading the fleet is like a dagger cut from the shadow of the fleet's steel jungle. Even if it is slow, it can make the enemy unable to escape and resist.

But the way the ship was decorated was a bit disappointing.

The only decoration of the ship is that it naturally exudes the characteristics of militarization. The pear shaped bow is etched with large sections of words in one person's high font: the time of battle, the world arrived and the enemy destroyed.

There are two decorations that can be listed specifically - the gold double headed eagle on the uppermost bridge, the logo made of huge nickel iron, and two crossed long swords.

More ships followed and gradually formed a spear battle array beginning with her.

In order to show the unshakable determination of the star soldiers, the builders proudly chiseled a huge name on the shell of the warship: storm

The bridge of the storm is a solemn place, just like the ancient temple disappearing under the wave. The exquisitely carved walls and columns extend towards the vault illuminated by the dim light of the energy shield of the ancient spacecraft. The rock like walls and the old deck resonate with the sharp drop of the singing tone in the transition stage, and the buzzing little angel flies overhead waving an automatic censer.

The mechanical priests in red are singing loudly and calmly join the gaucote single chant with experienced. Their prayers can greatly appease the increasingly irritable machine soul.

"... astral knights, as astat, we have embarked on a hard and dedicated road. As your war commander, I asked you a lot and often asked you when protecting the territory of your Majesty in the past

However, this sentence has never been so true as now!

The world engine has plowed a path of destruction in this star area. It must be stopped! No weapon can hurt it, no transmission can penetrate it, but we can! We can tear the heart of this beast and stop its atrocities! "

The war leader amurad was giving his final pre war speech. The War Regiment priest masayak stood beside him, and the banner printed with the cross shield emblem of double swords gently swung over the heads of the people. The artificial air flow shuttled through the steel beam frame, and even the low sound of the floating servo skull was covered by the huge noise outside.

Under the golden eyes of the imperial double headed eagle, 772 soldiers dressed in silver armor lined up in the glory hall, listening to the propaganda of the war leader, motionless like marble sculpture.

Although the deck under their feet, the walls around them, and even every welding joint, every screw was groaning painfully.

What they stand is the battle barge [storm], a warship full of legends.

It was started 4000 years ago in the shipyard where the world Ruize was built. Throughout the Empire, only six ships of the same class have been built, and now only the remaining three are still sailing in the sea of stars.

Although their design drawings and construction secrets have long been lost in the dust of history, each Ruize class is famous for its strong bow structure. They are designed to shuttle between space mines and complex asteroid belts. Therefore, the Ruize class can withstand the impact that other ships cannot withstand.

Even some science and technology priests believe that the Ruize level is no less than the glory queen level in terms of firmness.

It is precisely because of this feature that the battle leader amurad threw out his plan in a dispute with vinitilius, commander of the seventh company of extreme soldiers - this is also a crazy plan.

The storm will directly hit the world engine and break the seemingly indestructible refusal position of the other party like a sharp nail piercing the tough animal skin.

Then, all star Knights will board the world engine and make a final fight.

This is a plan close to suicide, but it is not caused by simple heroism, but this weapon has threatened everyone

A standard Tara month ago, the emergence of the world engine in the Vida sub galaxy was completely unexpected to the Empire.

Until now, it is still uncertain whether the world engine is a tomb world of the dead driven by alien technology or a planetary warship built in the dark among the stars.

After the Gauss projectile of the world engine turned the two agricultural worlds of the Vida sub galaxy into scorched earth, the speculation about its origin was put aside, and its destruction was the only thing to consider.

Under Tara's rare and efficient instructions, the Vader Galaxy gathered a huge fleet and no less than 15 star warrior battle groups, including the long-standing star warrior battle groups such as extreme warriors, star knights, invaders and the aurora battle group.

They concentrated on attacking the world engine that was carrying out bloody harvest among the planets, but even the most powerful weapon of mankind could not break the energy shield of the world engine. Even if they launched more than 10 raids and made more than 20 attempts to overwhelm the enemy with courage and firepower, they only received countless sunk and injured warships and millions of casualties.

What's worse, the jump attack seems impossible. Both the landing module and the assault boat can't penetrate the shield of the world engine. Even the transmission beam is disturbed when it is projected onto its surface. After the invader regiment lost two teams of terminators for this reason, any similar attempts are prohibited.

In this case, venitilius, commander of the seventh company of extreme soldiers, asked all troops to retreat, and the result would expose walenkost, the nest world, to the sickle of space Undead - 2.1 billion creatures live on this planet.

Amurad, head of the star Knight battle, had a gunpowder debate with the other party, and finally decided to adopt this extreme scheme, which is likely to cost an entire battle regiment.

All star Knights know what this plan means, and no one shows any objection. This is their destiny. From the moment they accept the transformation and wear the power armor symbolizing supreme honor, sacrifice has become the ultimate destination of all star warriors.

They are the extension of immortal will, the death angel of the emperor, the final punishment of walking, and the last shield between mankind and the eternal dark galaxy.

The emperor's records of candles and torches destroy monsters in the cave.

"... the emperor's records of candles and torches will destroy monsters in the cave."

Sergeant sohyan Alexei, who belongs to the fourth combat team of the sixth company of the regiment, repeatedly recited the most profound prayer in his memory, and other combat brothers in the communication channel were doing similar things.

He is a recruit. He has just been out of the Scout company for 30 years.

Thirty years, for a mortal, it may be half of his life, but for the Star Warrior, it is just the moment when the hourglass turns over.

The strong tremor penetrated the magnetic lock at the bottom of the boot. The warship that used to sail very smoothly is now like a small sampan struggling in the turbulent sea tide.

Soshyan knew without seeing it with his own eyes that the storm had begun fire contact with the enemy.

He could detect the special impact. For example, the sound made by the laser gun hitting the deck was different from that of the laser array. The roar of the macro gun was like a volcanic eruption, each time accompanied by painful vibration.

Later, there was a sound like a grinder.

This is the sound when a large amount of firepower hits the armor that is not protected by the shield. At the moment, the storm's posture is like being close to its prey during hunting and stabbing its ribs.

If it had not been for the strong and unusual bow structure of the storm, it would have disintegrated under the intensive fire of the enemy, but in fact, it is only a matter of time.

Through his helmet, soshyan could smell that everything around him was emitting the smell of death, including those cold machines, mixed with the chemical smell of burning pipelines and molten metal.

The servants were running around screaming under the deck. They might not have such noble thoughts, but as that sentence said——

Sacrifice is the cornerstone of the Empire.

Whatever their wishes, this is bound to happen. The emperor will use his currency at the right time and place.

The world engine seems to be a good place.

But before that, before everything was about to end, soshyan's long silent mortal mind became active again.

Like most dying people, there is always something like a ghost trying to make their great soldiers feel the real pain of death again.

That thing is called memory
