Chapter 145 The painful memories of the first battlefield
"Krishna, you can't understand this feeling... The home assistant will remind me of my wife's ovulation period every month." Kalki said thoughtfully, "At this time, even the night is as sweet as the ovulation in the garden.
I have no intention of picking pink roses."
"I can't understand you. Isn't it a good thing to have your own children as early as possible? Producing excellent descendants for Plato is also one of our responsibilities."
"The worlds of people are not connected. I am not forcing your approval. I just... I may have stayed in Bukhara for too long. It has been twenty years. Living with a woman for too long will make me
Feeling bored."
He had no way to tell Krishna, because there was always such a shadow in his heart that haunted him and could not be forgotten.
"HO-52", where the Ceto base guarding "Aununitu" is located, was originally a dwarf planet, rotating around the revolution period in the endless darkness.
"This is the Ketuo Base, with a length of 250 kilometers and a maximum width of 70 kilometers."
Shankara is operating a huge projection interface. After 3 weeks of sailing, the fleet has launched a super-light remote detection scan and has returned to the current live image of Keto Base.
A group of senior commanders gathered around the projection table of the Lucky Goddess. This command projection table appeared to be smaller than the one on Varuna, but the projected image was clear, and the data flashing on the side was very detailed.
"This is because the HO-52 dwarf planet where the base is located is not a perfectly round celestial body, but an elliptical shape. Its long semi-axis is twice the short semi-axis. It can rotate at a relatively high speed in space, and it is a hard planet.
A rocky dwarf planet, the long and narrow shape of the Ceto base is similar to a huge space battleship. The revolution period of the Ceto base is rapid, and its orbit is just right to guard all important mining areas."
Shankara continued to analyze in the calm tone of a staff officer.
"Keto is like the largest space battleship in the universe," Kalki dragged his chin in a habitual movement and said to Captain Krishna on the side, "So the battle of Keto took 5 years, which is the longest battle in the past hundred years.
The greatest victory of Plato's army, we also paid a heavy price."
"After five years of fighting in the Knights, one-third of the knights were killed or injured..." Krishna murmured to himself.
"At that time, the 'Forbidden Forces' Undead Army had just been established. Due to the tight situation on the front line, I, as a retinue who was supposed to be on duty in the palace, was sent to the front line nearly 8,000 light-years away. At that time, no one told us what the real front line looked like...
…”
Kalki pointed with his finger at the three-dimensional ion display of the Keto base, allowing the base to be displayed in front of everyone in all directions.
Today's Keto base has been almost flattened by fierce artillery fire from both fleets. There are huge craters and fort ruins everywhere, like a space cemetery, floating quietly in the darkness.
Everyone present was silently looking at this huge base that vaguely looked like a fortress, but was actually covered with ashes of a layer of building. Kalki stared carefully, trying to search for past events in his memory, a scene 12 years ago.
The curtain came to mind again...
This is the dusk of the last day before the expedition fleet sets off. Sumilu Bukhara is located on the west side of the Bai Nafushi Palace. Due to the location, the seaside side here often has extremely gorgeous sunsets. The young
Knights and retinues often wandered in the gardens on this side at dusk.
In the evening of this day, young Kalki, with his blond hair hanging around, watched the magnificent sunset of Anahita Sea with his friends. Rama, wearing a retinue's uniform, sat on the edge of a high and low stone wall, hanging down the young man's slender legs.
.
"On the farthest interstellar journey, I have only been to the 'Mandala' space fighter training base. I went back and forth on the same day, and it felt that it was not much further than going to 'Asvidel'." A tall young man, Pondra, said. Everyone is intoxicated by the brilliance of natural beauty, and everyone is looking forward to the first expedition to space-time that is 8,000 light-years away.
The evening breeze blew Rama's long dark brown hair, and the young man's clear and bright light brown eyes were filled with longing and fantasy for his first battlefield.
"One day, I will cross the sea of stars to see those immortal stars." Rama said softly in poetic language.
Everything around is as beautiful as a picture. There is no music or poetry, only the sound of wind and sea waves. Everything in Plato is peaceful, especially the Palace of Purple Chen, which is as quiet as the Heavenly Palace.
The battlefield is so noisy that even if the artillery noise reduction is turned to the highest setting, there is still maddening chaos and roar.
Space armor can completely block external sounds, and you can fight using the consciousness prompt interface, but human instinct requires hearing to assist combat.
All these chaotic sounds rushed directly into Kalki's ears.
A group of their young retinues wearing space armor formed a two-line formation and rushed to the fort heights of Area C-14 in a bloody battle. Under the crazy bombardment of Plato's heavy infantry, countless stumps and internal organs were scattered everywhere.
.
"No! We can't resist it! They are like wild beasts!"
"C-14 District requests support! C-14 District requests support!"
"Let's retreat quickly!"
He heard the panicked shouts of the Gaians high up. They could no longer resist and were retreating one after another.
At this time, a huge flash of proton cannon light fell from the sky, blowing everything to pieces.
In an instant, all Plato's heavy infantry crouched down in the dazzling light and opened the light shields on their armbands.
"They are killing their own people!" Heer's voice, who was at the forefront, howled in the intercom. This was the last time Kalki heard his voice.
"Quickly retreat!" Kalki shouted, and at the same time he used the anti-gravity system to leap up and quickly escape from the bombardment area. Other young subordinates also followed, and they quickly fled from the C-14 heights.
Slowly, the young subordinates who were holding on to their light shields and hesitantly waiting for orders were hit by the next burst of crazy artillery. The protective energy of their armors was suddenly exhausted, and they were blown to pieces in an extremely dazzling light.
In order to prevent the Plato army from occupying the important C-14 fort high ground, when the Plato people had just rushed to the high ground and the Gaia army was still resisting, the combat spacecraft of the Gaia Ninth Fleet bombarded the high ground indiscriminately, allowing the defenders and attackers to
Everyone suffered heavy losses.
When Kalki led the surviving followers to evacuate, several small floating combat boats continued to shoot at the evacuating Plato special forces with laser howitzers. Kalki kept jumping while covering himself with a light shield, twisted in the air, and shot at a
A combat boat fired a dense burst of micro-missiles and shot it down.
After a loud noise, the small combat boat plummeted to the ground. The Gaia defenders on the ground dispersed, but many people were still blown to ashes by the huge serial explosions.
Fortunately, the Knights of Plato received timely reinforcements, and the deformed fighter planes withstood the pursuit of Gaia's air power. Kalki led the fleeing followers to hide in a ruins in the distance, and the ruins formed a natural protection.
"A group of 4 people will be on guard in all directions, and the remaining personnel will rest!" Karki panted and gave the order decisively.
Everyone voluntarily obeyed his orders, and his ability to command on the battlefield seemed to be innate, and he began to shine from the first day.
Kalki retracted his helmet and visor, exposing his head. The reason he did this was because the shelling fell from the sky and injured his head. A stream of sticky red blood flowed down one cheek, making him
He felt uncomfortable wearing the helmet.
Rama also escaped, and silently looked at his friend with his head hanging in pain. There was only the noise of the battle in the distance, and the violent breathing of the young people in the ruins.
Everything around was very quiet, as if still in the forbidden palace, it was eerily quiet.
Kalki, with disheveled blond hair, was breathing heavily, not because of escaping or fighting. This level of fighting did not make him feel tired, but because of fear. After escaping, he felt palpitations caused by fear.
"More than 100 young people rushed forward, but only more than 20 people withdrew." His blue eyes were so confused, "They were all killed, not even corpses..."
This is the memory of the first battle in life. It is far from the joy and pride of victory, but a complete confusion and regret.
No recruit wants to go to the battlefield for the first time, and what he encounters right away is the second Battle of Ceto.
He and Rama fought together for a long time, until a huge Gaia fleet forcefully broke through the siege of Plato's fleet and sent in an army of nearly 2 million. The wind direction suddenly changed, and Plato's ground troops were at an absolute disadvantage and were forced to retreat.
The offense switched to defense, and then they were driven to the corner of the G-19 area——
The most vivid memory that followed was wearing a space suit, carrying the bodies of Rama and Pandora on his shoulders, and running very fast amid countless laser beams.
Although the battle armor can amplify physical strength ten thousand times, because the space battle armor is too large and heavy, Kalki took the two bodies out of the battle armor and immediately destroyed the battle armor, one on each shoulder, carrying the two men in battle suits.
The corpse of the soldier retreated like a brave tiger.
At the same time, he also used a huge j?tunn-20 hand-held laser machine gun to continuously shoot at the small group of Gaia troops chasing him, and consciously controlled the drone swarm to cover his retreat, causing a mess everywhere. p>
But he didn't dare to run too fast or fight too fiercely.
During the melee, Rama was hit in the neck and shoulder at close range by a Gaian Wasp hand-held long-range laser missile, and died on the spot.
When he took Rama out of the armor, he found that half of his neck had been severed. He had to be extremely careful while carrying Rama's body on his back, lest his head suddenly fall off.
Rama is still bleeding, and blood is scattered everywhere. This is a blood-stained road.
One day, I will cross the sea of stars and see those immortal stars.
Kalki's vision was blurred, and he couldn't see clearly the dazzling display screen in front of him. This should obviously be a pattern imprinted on his eyeball nerves, but he couldn't see anything.
The most terrifying scene did not happen on the battlefield, but back in Sumilu Bukhara.
Everything was so quiet and familiar. Everyone in the 48-person dormitory had changed again, and he was the only one facing the newcomers. He stood there alone.
"Kalki! You are a 'Keto Tiger Cub'! I admire you so much!"
"You are the battle hero of our White Tiger Knights in the Second Battle of Keto!"
"Quick! Tell us how the Battle of Ceto went? We really want to know the experiences of the frontline fighting heroes!"
"How can you kill 3,000 Gaians by yourself?! Kalki! You are so powerful!"
"Did you really kill 5,000 enemies by yourself in Ceto? You also shot down 12 Gaia aircraft from the ground, which is incredible! Tell us, how did you do this?!"
These young men who had just turned eighteen years old had just been promoted from trainee guards to guards, and were crammed into the empty dormitory of "Sumilu". As always, they spoke loudly in front of him with the extremely strong hormones of adolescent boys.
, one after another, noisy.
He flew across the sea of stars and came back, but he was alone.
Kalki did not receive any official recognition, but he became famous in one battle and became a rising star of tomorrow. People's envy and praise surrounded him like a tide, but he felt heavy and not happy at all.<
/p>
"Welcome to 'Sumilu', the 'Undead Army' means that the number of people will never change, just like the angel guardian saint..." He forced a smile to his new companions, and the smile was weird.
"Karki, tell me! What was this heroic battle like?"
"You are so quiet! You are not like the angry warrior we imagined!"
"Say it quickly! Say it quickly! Please! How can you kill 3,000 people in one breath! It's amazing!"
He was silent for a long time before he said a word.
"Weeds..."
"What?! Kalki! What did you say?"
"What on earth did you say?"
"What weed?!"
The young people started to boo like crazy.
Those friends who accompanied him to watch the sunset have all left this world, as if they had never lived in this world. If he died in Ceto, someone would take his place and sleep in his single bed.
Life is like weeds, they grow back again after being cut, endless.
The first time he went to the interstellar battlefield, the brutal Battle of Ceto destroyed all the joy and carefreeness of the young man, and he also lost almost all the friends he had met in the Forbidden Palace.
"Master, I'm here to say goodbye to you."
The evening sea breeze blew Kalki's blond hair, and he wore his hair styled like that of a retinue. After returning from the battlefield, the 19-year-old became more and more handsome. His delicate eyebrows were slightly raised, and his thick and long eyelashes were drooped, concealing a pair of
Strong and melancholy indigo eyes, cruel war can make men grow up quickly.
The man whom Kalki calls "Master" is very tall, almost 10 centimeters taller than the 19-year-old Kalki. He wears a dark purple Sheva robe, a dark brown knight's cape, and a hood.
The shadow covered half of his face, revealing only his chin covered with a golden beard. His face and chin were sharp and angular, making him look very resolute.
"I have resigned from the Forbidden Army and decided to leave Sumilu, leave the Forbidden Palace, and return to the Trayest Mausoleum in the Nekat Ring." Kalki lowered his head with a melancholy expression, "The memories here make me sad, I can't
Continue on duty... This is the last time I see you."
"Do what you want to do and follow the calling of your own heart."
He opened his slender arms and placed his hands on the marble balcony railing of the garden of Baina Fushi Palace. His aura was majestic and powerful. The sea breeze blew his cloak, facing the blue and open sea of Anahita, with a kind of feeling.
