March 17, 2490, 8 a.m. local time, colonist settlement.
This is a lush planet. Viewed from a synchronous orbit, its surface radiating the brilliance of stars is so smooth and pure, and the rain clouds seem to be little by little rotating white spirals.
When they saw this planet for the first time, the joyful voices of the Kohal people could be heard on the transport ship Stirling as the flagship of the colonial fleet. They thought this was the gift and mercy of the goddess of fate, but they did not expect this.
It is a world of death that is about to bring infinite fear.
Rick Kidd was wearing a set of crimson CMC-250E Commander Powered Armor, standing in the command center tower in the center of the August Settlement complex, surrounded by his Revolutionary Army officers, among whom
There is no shortage of officers with the rank of warrant officer.
Originally, Rick had three colonels and more than twenty school-level senior commanders and staff officers under his command, but now the bodies of many of them are hanging on branches or in the wilderness.
Through the huge glass window in front of him, the planet's azure sky, floating clouds and warm sun appeared in front of Rick. In the distance was a vast green jungle, tall deciduous trees, plants and similar species.
Palm trees form a sea of green, and when the warm wind from the south covers the jungle, it immediately creates lush ripples.
Rick Kidd recalls the first time he set foot on this planet as if it was just yesterday.
The leader of the First Colonial Fleet, Rick Kidd, was once a member of the Heavenly Demons under Revolutionary Army Marshal Augustus Mengsk. He was an elite sniper with psychic potential, but his psychic talent was still limited.
Not enough to become a ghost agent.
On this green planet named Baisher by the intelligent adjutant of the colonial ship, ferns, small-leaf shrubs, arbors and a wide variety of herbs and vines cover the vast land of Baisher.
There are dense rivers in the jungle, and magnificent waterfalls hang upside down between the emerald green mountains.
Bysheer's air is breathable without any treatment, fresh water is plentiful, there are fewer types of deadly bacteria and viruses than on the major colonial worlds in the Koprulu sector, the lighting is stable, and it's warm and pleasant most of the year.
.
Byshel has not undergone any terraforming and has a low-level and fragile ecosystem. Arthropods and primitive insects dominate this fascinating world, relying on stems, leaves or pollen from angiosperm flowers for food.
The exploration spacecraft and scouts sent by Rick to the surface of the planet discovered a gas resource similar to high-energy gas in some places in Beisher. The gas overflowed from the deep canyons and cracked surface, and appeared in the sunlight.
It is obviously purple, but as long as there is an area where this gas emerges, no matter how tough the plants are, they will not be able to survive, and it will be desolate.
This caused some uneasiness among Rick and the colonels of the Revolutionary Army, and the alien ruins discovered a few weeks later only exacerbated this uneasiness. According to the speculation of scientists among the colonists, these may also be left by the local advanced intelligent civilization.
Ruins or a colony abandoned by a race with interstellar travel, but the reconnaissance team did not find any signs of the existence of advanced intelligent life, nor was it attacked in any way.
Even though the resource reserves on the planet have not yet been proven, compared to those miasma-ridden or dead stone planets in the universe, Byshel is still the most suitable candidate for colonization of the planet by the colonial fleet.
And if the colonists want to abandon this settlement just because of this, then they will at least have to sail more to find a planet that can be colonized, and the degree of settlement may be far less than that of Beisher.
After repeated consideration, Rick decided to awaken the colonists in cryo-sleep state in the colonial fleet and conduct a referendum among the colonists.
This is a world extremely far away from their home planet Korhal, but for these colonists who have awakened from hibernation, it seems like it is just a matter of time to close their eyes and open them again. Most of them are still in the opposite direction.
In the sadness of Korhal's destruction, he was unwilling to sail further.
After a long wait, the colonists finally decided to settle on Baishel.
For the first three months, everything went smoothly.
Colonial ships, often a thousand feet (about three hundred meters) long, landed on the planet's surface. The Korhal colonists quickly dismantled their motherships, using the ship's decks, hydraulic pipes, and air-tight doors before they could
All available materials were used to build the original civic center, residential buildings, power stations, water plants, sewage treatment plants...
Soon, the first highway and the first signal base station on Beisher were also under construction. Lights appeared in the jungle like the fires of civilization, just like the first time humans lit a fire on the earth.
bonfire.
Seven large settlements that can accommodate 200,000 people each and more than 30 small and medium-sized settlements scattered around them appeared in the vast jungle landscape of Beisher, reclaiming land and building schools.
Everything is going step by step.
In order to commemorate Korhal and the home they used to live in, Korhal's colonists named their new city after Korhal's old place. Everything was developing in a prosperous direction - until a man was assigned to investigate alien ruins.
The captain and his company disappeared into the jungle. It was not until a major of the Revolutionary Army died in a very miserable way in his house that the colonists realized the danger hidden in the jungle.
By this time, escaping from Beisher had already become unrealistic.
In the next month, the colonists were massacred from the shadows. More and more people died on the way to open up the land. There was no news about the isolated colonies overnight. Those colonies that disappeared
Those who were killed were either captured or killed.
Rick has less than two thousand Revolutionary Army soldiers with power armor under his command. The remaining soldiers only wear thin military uniforms and hold electromagnetic rifles, lacking anti-stealth facilities.
Without knowing where the enemy was, it was impossible to launch a counterattack. From the beginning, the colonists were in a passive defensive state, and their territory continued to retreat back to their original landing point.
As more and more people were massacred, Rick began to build high walls and sentry towers around the settlements, and arranged a large number of patrols to guard the settlements, and the number of people attacked gradually decreased.
"We can't count on rescue from Augustus. They are probably in a war that is more severe than what we are facing." Looking at the green jungle ocean, Rick murmured to himself. Green was once
It was a symbol of vitality, but now it has become a symbol of death.
"Sir, I am Lieutenant Colonel Moser of the 10th Division of Stillling. My soldiers killed an attacker." At this moment, a deep voice came from the communication network of the command center.
