Volume 4: The Starry Year Chapter 59: The Harvest of the Empire (2)

There were still people alive in the repair shop covered in debris and smoke, and the terrible sound of bullets fired, piercing through the black smoke and striking the hard armor of the wolf's tooth mech, the sound was dull and loud, but it could only splash a few small sparks, and not even a deep trace could be left. The battle with too much power disparity made the Resistance's sporadic firepower look extremely pitiful, like an insect desperately waiting to die, spewing out a few drops of venom in vain against an elephant that weighed countless times its own weight, but the elephant did not feel it at all.

The wolf's tooth mecha suddenly stopped its heavy mechanical legs, and the guns on the left mechanical arm erupted, and the terrifying fire suddenly blasted the remnant wall into flying debris, and the resistance fighters behind the wall didn't even have time to scream miserably, and they became broken corpses.

The humming of engines, the sound of heavy mech machinery falling to the ground, the dull and cold sound of shooting, the sound of explosions, the sound was terrifying, because there were no more guns and voices of the Resistance in these sounds, and gradually entered the end of this solemn and terrifying massacre

Dozens of wolf tooth mechs cleared the resistance in the repair shop in the shortest amount of time, and then quickly separated, occupying various key points in the block, and several of the electronic mechs began to activate high-power monitoring equipment, trying to find the direction of the complicated tunnels below the repair shop.

At this moment, there was a faint roar of heavy engineering mecha running over the road behind the block, mixed with the almost inaudible sound of tire grinding, and the door of the repair shop, which had long been drooping, collapsed, and when the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, Huaicao Shi, who carried a military hat with an indifferent face, stepped in and walked towards the south under the protection of countless serious soldiers.

The high wall to the south of the repair shop had long since been turned to powder by the terrorist missile, and the bare steel bars hung desolately from the usually hard head to the shallow pond outside the wall.

This was where the horrible explosion took place, and it turned into a dark, smoky crater of dread.

The water in the shallow and smelly pond has long been burned by the explosion heat, revealing the sludge that has been old for thousands of years below. — Full text version First release — The sludge has dried up and cracked, like a windless and barren field around the Desert.

Huai Caoshi stood on the scorched shore of the broken wall, looked down at the cracked soil at the bottom of the pond, looked at the overturned tunnel in front of the pond, looked at the strangely shaped charred black corpses, and looked at the few people who still breathed under the broken tunnel, and frowned slightly.

The tunnel was directly blown up by missiles, and most of the more than 60 resistance fighters who escorted Voss Gu Yu died instantly, while the old man and several of his most loyal subordinates were also shocked by the explosion because they were at the forefront, and they fell to the rubble of the tunnel covered in blood, but fortunately did not die on the spot.

However, this is perhaps also the greatest misfortune.

Old Man Voss lay dying on the ground, his face covered in sludge and blood, and the conspicuous and ugly old age spots and the white skin that gave him the beginning of his untouchable life but bravely began to challenge the unjust order were no longer visible.

His pants were burned to ashes by the flames, his legs, which had been paralyzed in the early years of fighting the Empire, were burned horribly, and his black and red skin was covered with smoke.

The amazing willpower made the old man not unconscious, he stared at the ding, the young emperor ** official, vaguely guessed the identity of the other party, his weak breathing suddenly became short, and the old right hand weakly grasped the soil on the ground, as if the hand wanted to hold something, to hit something.

The Imperial soldier guarding him noticed his movements, lowered his body and slapped him hard, and the old man's face pocket suddenly deflected with a loud slap.

Huai Caoshi waved her arm, signaling the people around her to disperse, she walked in front of Vos Lingyu alone, looked at him quietly, and after looking at him for a long time, she said indifferently: "Introduce yourself, I am Huai Caoshi." ”

Old Man Voss's blood-covered lips moved slightly, and a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he didn't speak after all.

"I know who you are. Huai Caoshi continued to say indifferently: "The empire has indulged you in exile for so many years, not because it can't catch you, it's because we need you to fan some people and do things that are inconvenient for us, but what if, ......but what if, If I really want to arrest you, how can you escape?"

The glint in the eyes of the old man Voss gradually faded, he knew that when he was dying, there was no need for Her Royal Highness the princess to deceive himself, and a little confusion gradually grew in the heart that had been ready to sacrifice for a long time. Since his youth, he has devoted himself to the cause of the liberation of the people at the bottom of the empire, I don't know how many times he has escaped from the pursuit of the emperor's ** team and the secret police, he has led seven large and small uprisings or riots, he led students and farmers full of enthusiasm, secretly executed hundreds of greedy and cruel nobles, he has been injured, he has been imprisoned under a pseudonym, but he has seen the future of the liberation cause getting bleaker and bleaker, but he has not regretted it for a moment.

Until the moment of death, hearing Huai Caoshi's indifferent words, Voss Lingyu finally understood why he had been able to keep dying for so many years without dying.

"Where's that Federator?" Huai Caoshi squatted down, her gaze like a knife,...... Where are you going to send him away?" Old Man Voss ignored her question, and after a long silence, the look that belonged to him alone returned to his eyes, and when he was dying, he finally figured out something, even if his life was used by the royal family to some extent, but what he did was always valuable.

"Voss, I used to look at your file, as a member of the royal family, I can't help but have some admiration, because you used to have bones. ”

Huai Caoshi watched the transformation of the old man's expression, knowing that it was absolutely impossible for the other party to say what he wanted, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he said in a cold voice: "The battle between us is a battle between the people of the empire after all, but I didn't expect that you would do such a disappointing thing when you are old." ”

"Colluding with the imperialists, betraying the interests of their own nation, and not hesitating to commit treason for their own political ideas...... Don't you feel ashamed?"

Huai Danshi's anger was extremely real, lying on the ground Lingyu stared indifferently at the sky high and far away, as if he was thinking about how to answer the anger of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and seemed to be thinking about whether it was right or wrong for him to decide to cooperate with the Federation.

After a long time, the old man Voss turned his head with difficulty, looked at the Huai Cao poem, and his cloudy eyes showed a hint of determination and mockery, and he said hoarsely and gaspingly, "Betrayal...... This is your country, and it has never been the country of us pariahs...... Your Highness, can you find a reason for us untouchables to love this country?"

"But after all, you are all from the Empire, you were born here, and you grew up here......"

"Is this the reason why maggots must love the dung pit?" the old man breathed rapidly, his eyes gradually became hollow, his hands weakly scratched the scorched earth beside him, looked at Huai Caoshi and said: "What I want to do in this life is not to prove that I am great, but just to take back what we have lost, and I don't want to continue to live in the dung pit." ”

"What is God's to God's, and what is to Your Majesty's Your Majesty, what belongs to us pariahs?, dear Highness, if you are willing to give us back the power that belongs to us, you will surely find that our determination to resist the aggression of the Federation is stronger than you think. ”

"The rhetoric of a cowardly traitor is always so beautiful. Huai Caoshi looked at the leader of the resistance group at her feet, made a mocking final comment indifferently, and then turned to leave.

Resistance fighters used to call their loyal military officials imperial thieves and traitors themselves, and from now on, there will surely be another treason charge on the general order. Old Man Voss led the Resistance for decades, and in the final moments, he made such a shocking decision to cooperate with the Federation invaders, and although he temporarily gained the approval of most members of the organization by virtue of his supreme authority, the crime of betrayal, the crime of being a precursor to the invaders, must follow him and his organization forever in every aspect of history......

Is this really the right thing to do? Really...... The old man could not answer the question, and the sound of gunfire from the bottom of the dry pond ended his life full of fighting spirit, leaving the question to the successors of the Resistance and to the fighters with mixed feelings.

The soldiers who were running desperately in the tunnels naturally had no way to hear the gunshot. But the images of the big explosion from the previous remote monitoring, and the stumps of the black smoke of the subsequent fire, made them guess the worst consequences in their minds.

The old man, who had led them and even their fathers to fight for decades like a loving father, nay, really a loving father, should have given his life to the cause of the people's liberation.

The soldiers stiffened their bodies and glanced at Qi Dabing, silently making their own painful inquiries, while Qi Dabing, who looked at the curtain from time to time, his expression at this time had already become numb because of the deepest pain and sadness, and he did not react.

So the people who ran and fled did not stop, the dense footsteps continued in the dark tunnels, no one spoke, no one cried madly and turned around to try to save something, everyone continued to run, running silently.

The dark underground waterways don't know the end, and there seems to be no end to running, and those terrifying emperor ** mecha on the ground don't know where they are stepping on heavily, and after a long time, someone in the fleeing crowd finally couldn't help but start crying.

Xu Le, who had been silent and did not speak from beginning to end, was in a very heavy mood, thinking that the leader of the resistance group who did not have much emotion died like this, and couldn't help but think of what Master Fan had said that night: Everyone has their own historical mission.

What is his historical mission? He rubbed his eyebrows, which were growing again and thus looked harder than ever, took a sip of the water handed by the soldier next to him, and took a cold hand pistol with some astonishment.

Qi Dabing bowed his head and said, "If we all die, you must also let yourself go back alive." ”
