Advent

In the simple but well-arranged tent, there was deathly silence.

Calvin stared at Allen quietly in the shadows, his face didn't have much expression, but his eyes were brighter than ever, as if behind his eyeballs, there was now a dark flame combustion.After a long time, he whispered in an almost indifferent voice:

"You won't believe it, no one will believe us."

"But you'll still tell me what happened."

Allen said with affirmative words.

Calvin's eyes flickered, and the flames in his eyes seemed to be burning more vigorously.

The tired sheriff looked at the pale man next to Alan meaningfully, and then whispered indifferently: "Are you sure? Everyone who knew about this matter either no longer exists, or has forgotten about it." something happened..."

After saying this, he immediately added another sentence: "Or, after they forget...they will still 'disappear' in a short time."

After speaking, he took another look at Raymond.

Allen didn't say anything, but Calvin seemed to know everything.

He nodded, then whispered, "That's why you're here, isn't it?"

Allen didn't answer Calvin immediately, but Raymond still became uneasy because of the conversation between the two of them.

"Ellen?"

Raymond bit his lip, his figure trembling slightly.The man who had seemed silent, reliable and strong before showed unprecedented fragility at this moment.

His breathing was especially heavy in the silent tent.

Allen could feel Raymond looking at him.

"Raymond..."

He responded to the other party's previous call.Then he watched Raymond stagger back a few steps.

Facing Allen's gaze, Raymond's face was pale, and his eyes were moist as if he was about to cry in the next second.

In fact, they have discussed the same issue before, but this time, perhaps because of the seriousness of the atmosphere between Calvin and Allen, Raymond seems to be in a bad situation.He seemed terrified.

Raymond lowered his voice, whispering to Allen like a child who accidentally broke a cup: "But I really don't remember anything..."

—Raymond did not misread the veiled accusation in Calvin's words.

Seeing Raymond's appearance, Alan's heart suddenly felt sour, out of a delicate mood.When Raymond was teetering, he held the opponent's hand tightly, and then he stood in front of Raymond, blocking Calvin's sharp sight.

"Oh, I can't remember anything..."

Calvin repeated Raymond's words slowly and deliberately.

Allen's throat choked, he lowered his eyes, and explained for Raymond in a very low voice: "Raymond was the only survivor of that battle at the time. He survived the attack of the Naga, and he even led the Naga The emperor of the Jia people entered the time capsule. Although for us, only three short years have passed, but for him, he has spent nearly a hundred years in extreme silence and chaos "He really doesn't remember anything."

What Allen didn't expect was that Calvin, who had seemed very calm before, suddenly sneered contemptuously after hearing the battle of regicide in Allen's mouth.

The battle that was extremely important to human beings seemed like a big joke to him.

"Alan, look, that's why I said no one will believe us anymore"

Calvin stared at the surprised Allen, and said quietly

"Calvin?"

"How do people on earth describe our star field... Let me guess, they will say that it is full of wars... They will say that if there are no people on earth, we might have died in Nara long ago The Ja people are under attack, right?"

Calvin said nervously in a sarcastic tone.

……

Hearing Calvin's sharp words, Allen didn't immediately respond to him.

He felt a coolness running through his back, as if a poisonous snake was slowly moving down his back.

Why is Calvin bringing this up all of a sudden?Is even this fake?This... this is also...

Calvin didn't care about Alan's silence either, he continued to speak on his own.

"Alan, do you know? In fact, for those of us... people from that planet in the solar system are the most terrifying invaders..."

Calvin still vaguely remembered the situation before humans in the solar system came to this remote and remote galaxy.

Well, it must be admitted that the living conditions of the people outside the territory are indeed not very good - of course, at that time, the people outside the territory would not use "people outside the territory" to describe themselves.

They are people from Raynas, people from Mecanianica, people from Momo, and people from Yada...

The sphere of human influence has not yet reached here, and what troubles these people is the extremely difficult living environment, the brutal and unpredictable nature, and the increasingly rampant interstellar pirates on the route...

As for the naga - these tentacle-possessed, gigantic, soft yet eccentric aliens are, in fact, the most distant of all obsessions.

When they are exhausted and even surviving is very difficult, the Naga people are definitely not the primary problem of the people outside the territory. After all, this group of Naga people are actually quite quiet, and their prey are usually large interstellar creatures rather than surface activities. ordinary people.

Even in the rumors of some tribes, these Naga are actually quite tolerant to all humanoid creatures. .

"Did you know? Sometimes, when we were hunted down by those damned leeches, we would even hide in the remaining caves of the Naga and use the slime of the Naga to escape the damned mollusks... Because the naga rarely pay attention to small alien creatures like humans, that area is safer for humans, I mean... for the people outside the territory, with naga people than without them , more peace of mind."

Referring to the past, Calvin even let out a soft laugh.

After the arrival of the Naga, the Outlanders ushered in a short period of peaceful life in harmony with other creatures.

But in any case, rampant pirates, ulterior motives, and incomprehensible aliens have troubled them from beginning to end.

It is also based on this consideration that when the United Earth Government found the many elders and lords of the Reinas, Mecanianikas, Momos, Yadas... to communicate, the people outside the territory did not have any conflict.

Even when the United Earth Government proposed to accept the planets of the aliens into the Alliance of Earth Civilizations, the leaders of these formerly independent planets agreed after long consideration.

After all, at that time, all the conditions proposed by the coalition government were quite favorable.

Then everything looked good. The army sent by the earth people built a huge military fortress in this remote galaxy, and the pirates began to migrate to more chaotic and remote areas for activities.

And the more advanced and civilized people on Earth in the solar system have also begun to provide charitable assistance to the ancient and remote peoples outside the territory. Many people have learned the common language of mankind through this period of assistance...

"Everything is so perfect. We thought that our relationship with the earth people would be harmonious, and one day we would become a member of the earth's civilization. Until one day, the earth people suddenly told us that the Naga people were going to attack us. Earth Humans have launched a call to all planets with autonomy, and we have become a resource supply planet for Earth people without knowing it..."

Calvin's voice gradually became sharper.

"In the beginning, we always thought that the people on Earth just didn't understand the actual situation on our side."

Many races of the Outlanders didn't even suspect the "naga attack" in the early stages of the development.

With a cooperative attitude, they tried their best to provide the earth space forces far away from home with the resources they could, but soon, they realized that with the recruitment again and again, the original autonomous planet could no longer afford the earth. those demands made by the military.

Contradictions within the ethnic group began to escalate, and various doubts followed.

Why they never saw any flames of war.

Why, the Naga people who have always been quite quiet... suddenly started to attack the people outside the territory who were peaceful with them after the arrival of the earth people?

Once the suspicion started, many things became very obvious.

"We tried hard to tell the people on Earth that the naga never attacked us. Sometimes, they were even friendly... But no matter what we said, the people on Earth ignored our feedback. Gradually, people have Began to realize that the situation was not right, and the group of bastards gradually tore off the mask of hypocrisy. This made us feel indignant, after all, when signing the contract, this group of people had a completely different attitude... Some anxious tribes began to point out that they I want to go to Earth to appeal against the non-compliance with the treaty conducted by the military in the border galaxy, but at this moment, guess what happened..."

"In those years... in the frontier star field, there were more or less problems with autonomous planets."

Allen replied softly in an extremely weak tone.

"Yes, everyone has a problem. My home planet Reinas has a plague that almost wiped out all the people on the entire planet. We are familiar with and neighboring planets, and those autonomous planets have sent news one after another—— —The Naga suddenly attacked them, and even slaughtered them all..." Calvin's eyes were burning with strange colors, "But we all know—"

"It's not actually a naga at all."

Allen's face was livid, he looked at Calvin, and then added in a low voice.

Calvin heaved a long sigh. After so many years, after such a deep blood feud, when mentioning the Naga... and the conspiracy of the United Earth Government, Calvin seemed extraordinarily calm.

"After the planet Reynas was attacked by the plague, the United Earth Government proposed to us that the vast majority of Reynas people could be connected to the base built by the earthlings. At that time, we did not notice the problem... the people of the Goddess Race, The treatment in the Earth base has always been very good. At that time, everyone in Reinas did not know that the reason why the people on Earth are so amiable is purely because the Anya people believe in the same goddess as us... Their only worry Yes, the Anya will realize what they've done..."

"At that time, my tribe was even very grateful for the generosity of the people on Earth... I almost became a humanoid pet raised by the United Earth Government in the universe like my tribe. I didn't know anything at the time, all I knew was that my fiancée It’s still on another planet, Planet Meijili, do you know?”

Calvin looked up at Allen, and after seeing the blankness on Allen's face, he smiled.

"That planet is very small." He continued on his own, "In short, I rejected the invitation of the people on Earth, and went to find her privately on Planet Majestic, oh, by the way, did I forget to tell you, My fiancée is very beautiful, always gentle towards others, but very fierce towards me... until the day before we separated from her, I was still arguing with her..."

Calvin's voice gradually dropped, and under the dim light, there were tears in his eyes.

Allen thought he was crying, but when Calvin looked up again, his expression had returned to his previous indifference, as if the grief that Allen saw before was just an illusion.

"I told myself that I had to find her, and then I would take her to the base prepared by the Earth people for the Reynas. Everything went well, at least it seemed that way. I went to Mejili from the plague area secretly, So I dare not reveal my identity. I hid the aircraft in a remote corner, and never revealed my identity in the public system of Meijili. Because of this, I survived... Arrived at Meijili's On the second day, the sky turned red, and I could see the shock wave generated by the transition appearing in the silver-red sky, followed by the warships of the earthlings..."

Having said that, Calvin suddenly turned his head and looked straight at Allen.

His voice was deeper and calmer than before.

"...there have never been naga people, there have never been...the ones who attacked the autonomous planets of remote galaxies, and there have always been only earthlings..."

Calvin murmured.

On the planet Reynas, the Earthlings have adopted a plague attack.

But the people of Meijili star are not treated so well.

Meijili's civilization measurement level is very low, there are only some fairly traditional primitive tribes, and most of them do not even know the common language of mankind, so that even if some of them can temporarily escape the pursuit of the earth warships, it is difficult for them to escape in time. Ask for help and appeal to a higher level of civilization.

Recalling everything that happened on Planet Mijili back then, Calvin shuddered, as if he could smell the strong smell of blood again.

Those Earthlings—those Earthlings in military uniforms—killed everyone right in front of Calvin.

"...I hid in the grass and watched those people pour slime over those corpses. And my fiancée, that girl, she died directly in front of me. Before she died, she kept whispering, those earthlings Always thought she was begging for mercy, but they didn't know, she was telling me all the time, don't make a noise, don't go out, don't save her. Because once I get out, I'm about to be one of the corpses... yes, This is me, I hid in the grass, watched the girl I loved die in front of me, I survived under her cover..."

After the massacre was over, Raymond took a chance to find the flying machine he had hidden in the corner.

Under the blessing of the goddess, he returned to the planet Reinas safely and secretly, and then, as a relatively important dignitary of the goddess race, he entered the human military base of the Virgo.

That is, in the military base of the earthlings, Calvin saw the news released by the earthlings.

He finally understood what the slime the earthlings had dumped on Migiri on the night of the massacre was for.

"...Are you saying that all evidence of the Naga invasion...is false?"

Allen asked in a trance.

"That's right...everything is fake..." Calvin murmured, "Think about it, what a good deal this is. The warships of the people on earth don't need to fight the Naga people at all. , they only need to collect some of the slime they left behind where the Naga passed by... Then, they easily classified the natural planets in remote galaxies as ruined planets after being attacked by the Naga. No one survived , or there are not enough groups to manage and re-plan the original planets, the military department of the earth people kindly designated these planets as resource stars-then, those autonomous planets that should have been protected, just like this It has become a resource of the United Earth Government."

"Think about it, Alan, even our planet, our hometown, has become an asset of the military department. Then how can we people living outside... escape the fate of becoming supplies? Think If you want to survive, you must enter the military base of the people on Earth. And to enter the military base, unless you have a certain status like me or a clan guarantee, otherwise, the only way to survive here is to become a legal slave. "

"...People on Earth are worried that Anya will pursue the detailed reasons for the genocide of the Alliance, so I became the sheriff in charge of the Central Axis area. Therefore, I began to manage my former compatriots, former friends, and former enemies. We used to Many things have been fought for hundreds of years and thousands of years, but in the end we all become the same people. We have the same identity-we are all aliens, we are all lower creatures, we all lost our homes, and then We... we can only live miserably like stray dogs..."
