Following the Thunder Clan, after decades of stable development, the human race once again ushered in a new and powerful hostile force.
At this time, Lin Guyuan was already 116 years old, but as a practitioner, he still had the energy to take charge of the tactical headquarters.
On this day, Lin Guyuan was in the office looking through the information sent by the Psychic Research Institute.
The picture on the data file is a domain creature that is completely red and looks like an enlarged cockroach.
The tribe this creature belongs to is called the Red Sand Clan, and it is also a new challenge and threat to the frontline of the northern region of the human race at this stage. Although the Red Sand creature looks like a cockroach, it has wisdom that is not weaker than that of humans.
The domain where this clan is located is filled with yellow sand, and the environment seems harsh, but in fact it is rich in spiritual mineral resources.
The Red Sand Field is located in the northwest of the North Supply Area of Star City, with a "Form Field" in the middle before connecting with the human race.
At that time, the human race was constantly squeezing the living space of the morphological tribe from the northwest and plundering resources, while the Red Sand tribe was encroaching on the resources and lives of the morphological field from the other end.
When the morphological field is broken, the boundary between the human race and the Red Sand race is officially connected.
There was no process of negotiation and consultation. When they first met, a war broke out between the human race and the Red Sand tribe over the distribution of inventory resources in the morphological field field.
The competition between clans is so cruel, they completely abandon the so-called etiquette and morality, and only fight for interests.
Subsequently, by bringing the corpses of the Red Sand people back to the Psychic Research Institute for dissection and analysis, they already had a clear understanding of the Red Sand people's innate abilities.
The Red Sand people are born with a very powerful physique, but they did not go all the way in physical cultivation. Instead, they developed the special ability to control the yellow sand based on the characteristics of their own life forms. They also have very powerful magic skills on the battlefield.
Legal lethality.
Every creature of the Red Sand Tribe is very good at melee combat and magic attack capabilities, and is not afraid of the close attacks of human assassin warriors.
Sitting on the seat, Lin Guyuan looked deeply engaged.
If he wants to develop a combat strategy against the Chisha tribe's life, he must have a detailed understanding of the Chisha tribe's life structure, ability characteristics, and other knowledge.
But compared to the Thunder Clan, the Red Sand Clan did not make him feel any pressure.
Compared with the Thunder Tribe, the Chisha Clan has developed more comprehensively. It seems that they have no shortcomings, but in fact, the threat to the human race is very limited, and they have no special ability to restrain the human race's combat system. This is completely different from the Thunder Clan's original magic combat group.
Compare.
Even though the overall strength of the Red Sand Clan is not weaker than that of the Thunder Clan back then, this time the Human Race was the dominant side from the moment the war began.
Lin Guyuan has also seen the future where the human race will defeat the Chisha tribe.
However, he still felt that it was very necessary to study the life characteristics of the Chisha people.
The purpose of formulating a new combat plan is to win the battle while minimizing one's own casualties as much as possible.
He now has the authority to read the highest-level information in Star City, so he clearly knows what kind of harsh environment the human race will face in the future.
If the human race wants to develop in the long term, it must accumulate strength to meet the most difficult challenges.
If nothing else goes wrong, when Mo invades the human world, the human race will join forces with Mu Zhen to fight against Mo's invasion.
At that time, the human race will face the gathering of countless powerful forces. Even if there are warriors who have returned from Tongtian Road to help, the possibility of victory is still very slim.
Because of this, he believed that the human race must accumulate strength and must not waste its resources in order to expand rapidly in this era, leading to failure.
The Chisha War lasted for 28 years.
In order to defeat the Chisha tribe, Lin Guyuan developed many new combat configurations specifically targeting the weaknesses of the Chisha tribe.
Victory was advancing steadily under Lin Guyuan's planning, and he was not in a hurry for success.
At the end of the 28-year war, the already old Lin Guyuan would still cheer excitedly with his comrades.
But after cheering, he suddenly turned his head and looked out the window of the tactics hall.
His white-haired face was reflected on the transparent glass of the window, and heavy snow fell outside.
For some reason, a hint of loneliness suddenly rose in his heart.
He knew that his time on the front line was running out.
"Mr. Lin, what's wrong with you?"
A young soldier sitting next to Lin Guyuan saw the change in Lin Guyuan's expression and thought that Lin Guyuan was not feeling well, so he quickly stepped forward and asked.
"I don't know how many more times I can watch the snow falling on the front line with you... I will cherish it every time in the future."
The originally lively tactical hall suddenly became quiet at this moment.
After hearing Lin Guyuan's answer, the young soldier was silent for a moment and then there was a trace of reluctance in his eyes.
He understood what Lin Guyuan was thinking and what he was worried about.
But he also knows that some things are destined to have an end and cannot continue indefinitely.
After the Battle of Red Sand, the human race ushered in a period of steady development until the emergence of the Shimo Clan.
Lin Guyuan, who has reached retirement age, postponed his retirement and resolutely chose to continue fighting on the front line, making suggestions for the human race to defeat the Shimo clan and personally planning various combat plans.
At this time, Lin Guyuan was already a living legend in the eyes of many young soldiers.
No matter what difficult challenges the human race faces, even if they can't find a solution for the time being, Lin Guyuan can always find a right direction for the human race after a period of silence.
The word "genius" is the heartfelt evaluation of Lin Guyuan by the frontline soldiers.
He can always find new content in the existing system that has not been discovered by previous people, and combine completely different combat strategies.
Feng Qi once said that one of the differences between weak and strong tribes lies in the efficiency of resource utilization.
An in-depth interpretation of this sentence can also mean that one of the differences between the weak and the strong can also be the gap in the efficiency of utilization of the existing system.
Although Lin Guyuan's achievements did not promote the development of any scientific research system, it brought the existing system to another level, helped the human race to create new paths in the field of system construction, and also promoted the frontline combat effectiveness.
Construction has brought huge contributions.
He is the well-deserved god of tactics in the human race, the number one god of war in the world who has never gone into battle to kill the enemy, but is respected by everyone.
Even though he is old, Lin Guyuan is still on the road of building combat power on the front line, and he never means to stop.
…
Daybreak 1196.
Lin Guyuan was 186 years old this year.
Having been in charge of the tactical command for more than a hundred years, he has finally reached the day when he is about to retire.
Although he feels that he is still in good health, he often feels sluggish when thinking about problems. His brain is like a rusty machine. He can no longer have countless ideas popping up in his mind anytime and anywhere as he did when he was young.
Piece together the knowledge in your mind to come up with interesting tactical ideas.
A lifespan like his is extremely rare on the front lines.
According to normal life expectancy, frontline soldiers can generally have a lifespan of more than 250 years, but under normal circumstances, the lifespan of frontline soldiers does not meet expectations.
Because the environment on the front line is very harsh, fighting on the battlefield is very taxing on the body's functions.
As a result, soldiers who can live for more than 200 years generally reach retirement age at the age of 60-70, but more often die on the battlefield before reaching retirement age.
Lin Guyuan felt that he could live to this age because he never went to the battlefield to fight against creatures in hostile realms, and he was also a cultivator.
Although I often stay up late to study tactics, the physical damage to practitioners from staying up late is limited.
Now he feels that he is gradually unable to do what he wants. Even though he doesn't want to leave in his heart, Lin Guyuan knows that it is time for him to make a decision.
He had fought all his life in the Battle of Against the Water, the Battle of Thunder, the Battle of Red Sand, the Battle of Shimo... and other large and small race wars. He had long been accustomed to life on the front line, but felt confused about returning to Star City.
There are no relatives there anymore.
In his eyes, the young frontline soldiers are his descendants and his relatives.
But when faced with the decision of the Star City Supreme Council, he did not raise any objection and knew that it was time for him to leave.
The changes in his physical condition indicate that even if he can persist for another ten years, he will eventually reach the end of this life journey.
The environment around the human race has been relatively stable in recent years, and the military's combat system has been diversified and upgraded. Even if it can persist for another ten years, it will not bring about earth-shaking changes to the front line.
Retirement at this time is a good choice for him.
At the same time, his abdication will leave more room for the younger generations of the human race to perform.
After so many years in charge of the tactical command, the rising stars of the tactical command have become accustomed to his decision-making, which is not a good thing for the future.
Taking advantage of this period of stable development, his departure will allow the younger generations to grow better.
Considering the three perspectives of the higher-ups, himself, and the younger generation, he felt that the idea of the Star City Supreme Council was right, and it was time for him to return to Star City and live a retired life.
On this day, Lin Guyuan received the discharge certificate issued by the Star City Supreme Council.
Already 186 years old, he suddenly burst into tears.
A soldier's life will eventually lead to a homecoming.
He stood up and glanced at the certificates bearing honors on the office wall.
My eyes came to the first certificate, which was issued by the tactical command after the development of the Jumanji sniper rifle.
His eyes came to the second certificate, the Medal of Outstanding Contribution to Humanity, which was awarded by the Supreme Council of Star City after the successful development of the Magic Healing (Amplification) Cannon.
…
Behind every glory is a period of his growth.
His eyes swept down from the first certificate of honor, and the corresponding memory images kept popping up in his mind.
From a young boy who just stepped onto the front line to a gray-haired man now, he has dedicated his entire life to the front line and regards this place as his destiny.
He was about to leave, and his heart was full of reluctance.
He thought about continuing to live on the front line after decentralization, and he also knew that if he made this suggestion, the Star City Supreme Council would definitely agree to approve it.
But he felt that he could not set this precedent.
There are many veterans like him who are unwilling to leave. Like him, they have dedicated their lives to the front line and have become accustomed to life on the front line, but they will still choose to leave after receiving orders to retire.
If Star City set this precedent because of him, it might have to build a pension system for the front line.
Building a pension system on the front lines will not only waste resources, but will also have a certain impact on the development of the front lines.
No matter which angle you look at it, Star City is the final destination for their veterans.
Therefore, he did not apply, and he believed that he should not apply, even though he had made many contributions to the development of the front line in his life.
After a long time, he started to clean up the office.
Before leaving, he decided to take all his memories with him.
Late at night, Lin Guyuan left the tactical headquarters alone after greeting the soldiers on duty in front of the station.
It was snowing lightly outside the station. He walked in his thin military uniform, his eyes scanning the buildings under the lights, and the corresponding memories always appeared in his mind.
I have been here for so long, every step is a memory.
Finally he came to the Feng Qi statue standing in the supply area.
Snowflakes are falling, but the statue of Feng Qi still stands here in the same posture as when he was young.
At this moment, Lin Guyuan thought of himself when he was young. He had always been the staunchest believer in Feng Qi. When he was young, he always liked to pull out Feng Qi's photos from his favorites when encountering problems, clasping his hands together and chanting piously.
.
This habit has not changed to this day.
Looking up at the statue of Feng Qi, he murmured his thoughts with tears in his eyes.
At this moment, he lost the majesty he had when he was at the tactical headquarters, like a child telling his parents about his inner anguish.
The person Lin Guyuan admires most in his life is Feng Qi.
It was precisely because he understood history and Feng Qi that he knew how much effort Feng Qi had put in and how much suffering he had endured for the rise of the human race.
The early human race was plagued by internal and external troubles, and even the foundation for development was particularly weak.
It was Feng Qi who unified the thoughts within the human race, eradicated the hidden dangers and problems hidden within the human race, and it was Feng Qi who created many systems that have been developed to this day.
It can be said that the current prosperity of the human race is completely built on the foundation given by Feng Qi.
The sage always has no heart and takes the hearts of the people as his heart.
He always believed that the most fortunate thing for the human race was that when the era of disaster came, a saint like Feng Qi appeared.
Since the Year of Dawn, there have been too many outstanding talents in the human race, but no one can compare with Feng Qi.
This is not because the filter of history has deified Feng Qi, but because facts have proven that Feng Qi's great contribution laid the foundation for the development of the human race.
Today, Fengqi is a totem symbol of the cohesion of the human race, and it is also the direction that countless descendants of the human race are pursuing.
The sword of dawn points to the direction of my heart.
The eternal guide of the human race, this is the definition of Fengqi thought by modern people.
When he was young, his blood boiled because of the story about Feng Qi.
Feng Qi's cry of "fighting for the rise of the human race" more than a thousand years ago seemed to come to him through the barriers of history books and time and space. It was from that time that he had his own dreams and goals.
Even though he established a faith connection, he never had any spiritual communication with Feng Qi, but deep down in his heart, he always regarded Feng Qi as his spiritual leader.
As parting was imminent, he told Feng Qi about his anguish.
In the wind and snow, Lin Guyuan finally stood upright and paid the dawn military salute to the statue of Feng Qi:
"Veteran Lin Guyuan has officially retired from the army. May the military of our human race prosper under your protection!"
With the ceremony, the legend of an era comes to an end.
In the snowflakes, the lonely figure left and walked slowly towards the tactical headquarters, the place where his dream began...
The years are ruthless, the rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away all the heroes.
Countless heroes intertwined to compose an epic chapter of the rise of the human race, and they became legends for a period of time in the long history.
But legends will eventually pass away, and there will always be new legends to continue moving forward.
Aoyama is still there, How Many Suns.
The story of the Rise of Star City chapter ends, and the perspective switches back to Fengqi in the next chapter.
