Volume 1: Rainbow of the Old World Chapter 1. Under the Stars(1/2)

After a shower, altocumulus clouds continue to pass over the earth from the sky with the wind, and the sun shines through the clouds, leaving cloud shadows on the world. The golden wheat ripples gently in the direction of the wind, and the plump ears are covered with rainwater.

He lowered his head on the mound and looked into the distance. The wheat light gently swept across the tip of Lu Yuan's nose, making him feel numb and numb, like a burst of electricity, itching from his skin to his soul.

He reached out and pushed aside the wheat in front of him. The bright sunshine in the autumn dazzled through the gaps in the clouds, and the harvest scenery of the plains was visible.

"Lu Yuan, look at that! Eagle!" she shouted.

Lu Yuan stood up straight when he heard the sound. A gust of wind came from afar, ruffling the wheat waves and messing up her long flowing hair. At that moment, it seemed as if the whole world had stopped.

On the cobbled embankment not far away, an eagle flapped its wings and flew towards the sun hidden in the shifting clouds.

"Look, look at that eagle!" She stepped on the soil after the autumn rain, chasing the eagle that flew high and disappeared without a trace.

"Wait!" Lu Yuan just stretched out his hand, but thousands of golden lights tore open the clouds. The eternal sun instantly spread light and heat to the world. It burned and expanded majestically, and the irresistible heat melted every part of Lu Yuan's body.

An inch of skin.

Just like an eagle, it is destined to face the sun and die.



"Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp~~" The unique chirping of the eagle disturbed Lu Yuan's thoughts. Of course, there was not an eagle that chooses people to devour standing next to him, but he was indeed in the belly of the eagle, right there.

Above the planet's high orbit.

The Horned Eagle orbital transport ship, including Lu Yuan, the 28th Orbital Paratrooper Group, and hundreds of fully armed paratroopers were all the prey of this evil bird.

The flesh-and-blood horned eagle and the mechanical horned eagle are, in a sense, exactly the same.

They are always bloodthirsty.

Never satisfied.

There were only a few indicator lights on in the dim cabin, and a fleeting light passed over rows of orbital paratroopers wearing airborne combat uniforms. Although the face was covered by the visible visor, Lu Yuan's cold black eyes

Hitomi is like the engine flame outside the global fighter plane, burning and deadly.

war.

Never stop.

"Alert, the enemy's surface air defense has been deployed. Our ship is entering a high orbit. The airdrop will begin in thirty minutes." The broadcast in the cabin rang lifelessly, while Lu Yuan stood up holding the paratrooper's honorary dagger.

He lectured loudly.

"This operation must be the most courageous and determined to defeat the enemy's resistance, seize the Star Monument Fortress, and provide ground guidance for the fleet's return jump! After this battle, we can go home!"

"Paratroopers!" Lu Yuan shouted.

"Is there anyone else who wants to hand over a suicide note?!"

There was silence.

"very good."

Lu Yuan sat down, tapped the sensor gloves, and started the combat system self-test again. Although combat has long been integrated into his bones, he will always only have one life.

Shaking his head to dispel the slight dizziness, Lu Yuan knew that this was the aftermath of the fierce battle of the escort fleet fighting desperately in the orbit of the planet. Maybe an antimatter annihilation cannon would hit the transport ship in the next second, killing everyone.

Annihilated into ashes in the blink of an eye.

The real horror is not necessarily death, but waiting for death. After serving in the army for many years, Lu Yuan has ignored too many emotions that have nothing to do with combat. Only at the moment before rushing to die, Lu Yuan allowed himself to recall those increasingly blurred memories.

So Lu Yuan remembered that the night before the expedition, he asked his friend to sell his surfing boat. His friend was curious about why Lu Yuan wanted to buy this racing-class surfing boat that had excellent performance and could easily control the raging waves of the ocean.

The expedition fleet in the orbit of the star proudly stated that this was his new arena.

Lu Yuan has long forgotten how many standard years of the home planet this expedition lasted, but it must have been in the first year that Lu Yuan understood that war is never a fair game. The opponent will never abide by the rules, and there are no rules. If he loses,

No one will ever hear your wail floating in the deep space.

Memories may not always be beautiful. Just like Lu Yuan didn’t know if he would have a chance to use the money from selling his surf boat to drink a bottle of beer, and he didn’t want to count how many familiar faces he had turned into during this protracted war.

Looking at the gray portrait, Lu Yuan couldn't remember how many comrades he had fired the ceremonial gun for.

Lu Yuan raised his head and looked at the dark roof of the cabin. Beyond a few centimeters of high-energy alloy, there were absolute zero, gamma rays, ultra-micro meteorites, engine waste heat... any of them could easily take away his life. Lu Yuan sighed.

With a sigh, he tapped his forehead with his finger, but it touched the visible visor and immediately triggered the task prompt.

Orbital assault on BSC93-7 "Yuehua" planet, a star monument coordinate tower fortress equipped with powerful anti-aircraft firepower. The ground star monument is an important basis for determining the precise location of the star field where the fleet is located. There is no doubt that this fortress is inside and out.

Being surrounded by enemy troops, Lu Yuan was not even sure that he would survive the first minute after landing.

Lu Yuan's watch beeped twelve times in a row. Although the time was displayed on the visible visor, Lu Yuan was still used to using the watch his father gave him before leaving. He looked at the watch.

I engraved this sentence silently.

Don't go gentle into that good night.

I would like to have a good night to go in. Lu Yuan thought to himself. He, like the hundreds of thousands of soldiers serving on the First Emperor space battleship, with honor,

Loyalty, victory, and hometown encourage and comfort me to support me through this seemingly endless journey.

The fleet passed through each star field, and young people shed blood on the battlefield.

BSJ20-9 Battle of Orion, the 28th Orbital Paratrooper Battalion was the first to land, with 87 casualties. Lu Yuan was promoted to lieutenant.

In the Battle of BSJ21-3c Thor, the 28th Orbital Paratrooper Battalion was the first to land, suffering 141 casualties. The commander was killed in action, and Lu Yuan acted as his agent.

BSA06-4 Sentinel Battle, the 28th Orbital Paratrooper Battalion fought for many months and suffered more than half of the casualties. Lu Yuan was promoted to captain.

Red lightning, cyan ring, this is the paratrooper armband, one bar and three stars, this is Lu Yuan's military rank. Lu Yuan blinked and couldn't tell whether the noise in the cabin was the roar of the wind or some kind of special whimpering. After tonight, if there is still

If he could return to his home planet for the rest of his life, Lu Yuan didn't know how to face it, how to harden his heart, and then deliver the death notice to the families who had lost their loved ones.

267.

This is the number of death notices Lu Yuan has written. This is the number of Lu Yuan's comrades who are buried in the stars and whose souls will never return to their hometown. This is a number that Lu Yuan never wants to increase.

Before the expedition, a group of 300 paratroopers took a group photo. Later, Lu Yuan took off the holographic group photo and only hung it in his office. Even if Lu Yuan returned to his home planet, he would only find his companions there.

To conquer the sea of ​​stars that I once boasted about.

Countless battles and battles flashed before my eyes, and now when I think about it, it seems that they are all covered with mist. No matter how I think about them, they are only superficial and unwilling to dig deeper.

Lu Yuan turned his head and glanced at the paratroopers around him. They were still silent, still believing that they would march towards victory as always, still putting their lives in the hands of the commander, and going on the most difficult and dangerous road, without fear of shedding the most blood.

Lu Yuan suddenly thought of the hibiscus tree outside his yard. Every morning, the morning glow coated the hibiscus flowers with a layer of brilliance, and the wind blowing from the lake would slightly lift her short hair, which was dyed with pansy purple.

Even the dawn could not take away any bit of her beauty. However, her face gradually disappeared like the hibiscus flower passing by the wind.

"Attention, the airdrop will start in fifteen minutes. Repeat, the airdrop will start in fifteen minutes." The announcement rang, and Lu Yuan knew that the time had come.

Lu Yuan walked through the cabin, looked at each paratrooper, and gave each paratrooper a military salute. Lu Yuan held his helmet with one hand, and his roar covered all the noise: "Brothers, do you know what we are going to face?

!!!”

"Enemy!" the paratroopers responded in unison.

"Everyone knows what we're going to do!"

"fighting!"

"Tell me what awaits us!"

"victory!!!".

"Tell me, what is the creed of the orbital paratroopers!" Lu Yuan slapped the paratrooper armband hard and shouted.

“Everything is possible!”

"Fear nothing!!!" the paratroopers roared.

Lu Yuan threw all his emotions behind. He only needed the purest faith to fight, kill, and win.

Go home.

"Then cheer up! Dress for battle!"

Lu Yuan gave the order, and the paratroopers quickly equipped themselves with POA3 airborne combat uniforms. Pieces of high-strength bulletproof armor were placed in key parts of the combat uniforms, caseless rifles were held diagonally, and honorary daggers were placed in the breastplates. Born for hometown.

, died for the war!

"Set up the anti-pressure system! Close the auxiliary anti-gravity device outside the combat suit!"

The manipulator attached to the seat has adjusted the parameters of the combat suit, and the track anti-pressure mode is turned on so that the paratroopers can withstand severe overload pressure. Another precise and compact gravity pump is placed in the waist hanging slot of the combat suit to ensure that the paratroopers have a high altitude after landing.

power.

"Awaken combat weapons, warm up power armor, and bind into the attached airdrop pod!"

Under the cabin board, a battle robot with an electromagnetic gun on its shoulder and an activation system holding a plasma sword hilt were loaded into the weapons bay together with the power armor holding a gun and halberd.

Gradually, like a sleeping dragon opening its eyes, a red light suddenly appeared in the cabin, and a heart-stopping aura filled every corner.

"Enter the personnel delivery vehicle!" The seats in the cabin unfolded, revealing teardrop-shaped airdrop pods. The paratroopers looked at each other through the thick deck boards with firm eyes.

The radio was connected to the airdrop cabin, and a mechanical female voice constantly announced: "Attention, attention, the airdrop will start in five minutes, commander, please confirm."

Lu Yuan knocked hard to confirm, and the rows of airdrop pods were lifted along the chute to the predetermined position. The hatch slowly opened. Lu Yuan looked at the dim and infinite space outside. He would pass through the orbit of the planet where the fierce battle was taking place.

Passing through low-Earth orbit where the atmosphere gradually becomes denser, rushing through the atmosphere and reaching the ground.

And Lu Yuan knew that he was ready.
To be continued...
