【The day I met you, now that I think of it, it seems like a lifetime ago, the days and months have just passed by.】
"What?"
Chaos Konrad, who was looking out the window at the park, heard a sound and felt a big hand on his head, so he raised his eyes to see the owner of the hand, his adoptive father, Lahi.
Reichtum Konrad.
The tall man with blond hair and blue eyes and a Germanic face smiled gently, as if he didn't mean what he just said.
"you……"
When Kaos wanted to ask him, he was interrupted by another voice that suddenly sounded.
"[Attention all units, check your shields and weapons.]"
"【receive!】"
At the same time as the sound sounded, everything in Kaos's sight was briefly distorted. After the distortion ended, the adoptive father who was originally dressed in home clothes had been replaced by a straight colonel's military uniform, and the original living room had also become
The office of the colonial governor.
The previously peaceful gardens, rockeries, fountains and butterflies outside the window have subsequently transformed into residential areas, industrial areas, airports and... frigates and shuttles taking off in an emergency.
The only thing that remained unchanged was Lichtem's big hand on his head.
【I have to leave, but I will remember every moment I spent with you.】
【Stay strong and don’t be afraid.】
The big hand rubbed the short, light blond hair of Kaos.
【Everything will be fine, I promise.】
"in the end……"
In the end, Kaos was unable to ask the complete question. As he spoke, Rechtem's figure disappeared along with the strange sound that sounded like a fleet communication broadcast.
"[Large unknown object detected by radar!]"
"[Everyone enters the combat position!]"
Kaos looked out the window again with feeling, and happened to see Rechtem's flagship, the heavy cruiser "Roma" taking off into the sky with several formations of destroyers, breaking through the atmosphere almost instantly.
【Because I will do my best to protect you.】
"No, I..." Kaos subconsciously stretched out his hand out the window, but in the next moment he touched the cold ship porthole. Far outside the window was the flagship of the colonial star governor, but the cool black and white paint made it look so...
People feel extremely at ease.
And here... Kaos looked around at the spaceship where he was "at this moment", and just looking at the strange, drowsy blue and white tones, he knew it must be Lichtem's adjutant "Zhuang"
His car was a strange destroyer sometimes called Kun and sometimes called Peng. There were navy soldiers on the ship hurriedly going back and forth, but they all turned a blind eye to Kaos.
Hmm... shouldn't the adjutant be on the same battleship as the governor? And how did he get on the ship before that?
"[They are coming!]"
"[Enemy fleet confirmed, attack freely——]"
The "voices" sounded again. This time Kaos was sure that they came from the communication broadcast on the ship, but before he had time to think about it, the battleship under his feet had suddenly accelerated and rolled, dodging a shot that came from nowhere.
Orange beam.
[I hereby solemnly swear that I will dedicate my life and strength.]
[Committed to protecting the galaxy federation and protecting human civilization.]
When Kaos was holding on to the nearest railing to maintain his balance because he was unsteady on his feet, Rechtem's voice sounded again. It seemed that he was leading the newly recruited naval soldiers to read out the Star Alliance Navy Declaration.
It was still a monologue at the beginning, but as it went on, more and more voices joined in the oath, and in the end it almost drowned out Lichtem's voice.
"[We are outnumbered!]"
"[The energy index exceeds the upper limit of measurement! What the hell is that!]"
As the "broadcast" that seemed to explain the battle situation sounded again, Kaos saw the "enemy" they were talking about from the porthole window.
It was a huge metal creation that looked like a squid or an octopus. Judging from the proportion of the ships that were fighting it, it was even larger than the space station in the orbit of the Europa 7 colony satellite.
It is constantly releasing strange ships similar to its shape to fight against Rechtem's fleet, but at the same time, a huge group of miserable green light is gathering in its "spout" towards the planet.
In the process of fighting these strange enemies, "Lechtem's voice" never stopped.
【We will uphold the justice of all intelligent life in the universe.】
【From the bottom of the Pacific Ocean to the edge of the Milky Way.】
[It begins today and ends until death.]
"No -!" Kaos no longer had time to care about what the sound was about, because after the fleet tried to interfere with the energy many times but failed, the "Roma" had already rushed straight towards it under the cover of several wingmen.
That "spout".
Comparing the battleships present, the only one with a mass effect core that is large enough to interfere with the energy gathering during self-destruction is the heavy cruiser. But that is not necessary at all, is it! Maybe that is just its engine, and it is
Planning to escape?
Ka——burn——
The spout of the "giant squid" emitted a blazing beam of light that was enough to blind anyone who saw it. As if the Roma that had just disappeared from the spout did not exist at all, the beam silently hit the Europa VII colony star below.
A moment later, the huge habitable planet exploded from the inside out in front of Kaos' eyes.
"[Zizzizi...]"
The "voice" that had been silent for a while sounded again, and the content seemed to come from many different news reporting organizations and spokespersons.
"[We have received reports confirming that the Europa 7 colony has been destroyed.]"
"[The death toll is expected to exceed four billion.]"
"[Me, all my family members...]"
"[The unknown attacker is named "Alien α", and all other information is unknown.]"
"[Given this attack, we have no choice; we must use all our weapons to protect ourselves.]"
At this time, due to the loss of the commander and the colonial star, many Star Alliance warships began to shrink and tried to protect the only remaining orbital space station.
"You... damn... octopuses..." Kaos finally said a complete sentence, "Sk'yahfqi'plahfPH'MAGG!"
At this moment, the entire battlefield seemed to be shrouded in some strange shadow that kept whispering.
——???——
Boom!
Kaos felt a knock on the back of his head. When he raised his head angrily from the table of the small desk, he saw Zhou, who was wearing a blue adjutant uniform with black hair and eyes, putting a glass of milk on the table.
"Drink the milk and go to bed. Claude has just been appointed as the governor of Europa 7. He has a lot of chores to deal with before the move. He should be back very late," he said while looking at Kaos's expression.
: "Hey, I was quite angry when I woke up, and I looked like I wanted to eat someone."
