hunting light

On October 14753, [-] in the new calendar, at nine o'clock in the morning local time, a battle that started at the C-level fired the first shot at the corner of the line of fire.

The officers of both sides who participated in the battle never thought at the time that this seemingly simple pursuit battle would be recorded in the annals of history and become an obelisk in the history of human warfare.

For the Cruvia army, this was a revenge with no suspense.

They have confirmed that Magdeburg will not send reinforcements. The only 17 soldiers on the K-[-] Mine Star are no match for their [-] troops.As long as they can sneak into the near air smoothly, air-to-ground artillery strikes are enough to bombard the imperial army into pieces.

But the Imperial Army not only noticed in advance that the flagship "Valentine" was already waiting for them ahead, but also opened fire first, catching the Cruvia Army by surprise.

The imperial artillery fire avoided Kruvia's flagship and specifically attacked the surrounding cruisers.

The original plan of these cruisers was to bypass the huge and clumsy flagship and pursue the retreating imperial army.The Valentine's artillery fire successfully intercepted their footsteps.

"The imperial army has evacuated and lifted off? How did they get our movements?" The leading general of the Croatian army roared in the command room.

The officers present were as shocked as he was.

"Who are they leading now? Or Pat?"

"No. Their fire attack is very orderly, not like someone who can massacre prisoners and civilians..."

"No matter who it is, it is our blood enemy!" The commander of the Croatian army said sharply to the comms, "Soldiers, the time for revenge has come! Let the butchers of the empire pay their debts with blood—"

"Vengeance—revenge—"

The soldiers of the Cruvia army roared, and after the initial passivity, they quickly adjusted, organized a counterattack, and poured firepower towards the imperial army.

This is Ian's first experience in space combat.

In the airspace where the two armies exchanged fire, the trajectories of countless light bullets flying randomly intertwined into a fine and deadly optical network, and each bright node was a small explosion.

In the vacuum of space, explosions will not produce flames, only smoke and dust of various colors, like tumbling clouds, devouring warships and lives.The fragments are not affected by air resistance, so they splash in all directions, and even a screw can become a deadly bullet.

The Valentine was hard to beat by herself. Its protective screen gradually collapsed under the enemy's strong attack, and the shells directly hit the hull.

The warship vibrated violently, amidst the roaring explosion, the twisted parts of the steel bars made a low-pitched sound.The Valentine was like a wounded sea beast, unable to resist being hit by shells, and kept retreating.

On the monitoring instrument panel, more and more parts lost pressure.The area where the red light is on is increasing rapidly, densely covering the outer layer of the warship, and the sirens of damaged weapons are also sounding one after another.

This warship can carry 1 people when it is full. At this time, there are only [-] soldiers who look at death like home, and a priest who seems to have no use other than praying to God.

Ian sat calmly in a chair in the corner, holding the holy light frame in his hand, lowered his head and closed his eyes, as if he was praying.

Only he himself knows that the entire battlefield at this moment is contained in his vast and boundless sea of ​​consciousness.

The energy of the Cruvia's army is shown in red, and the flagship of the Valentine is blue.The intertwined artillery fire, every energy trajectory, every explosion, and even every deployment and launch of light bullets were all keenly captured by Ian.

After more than four months of training, Ian clearly felt that his perception ability was nearly ten times stronger than when he was in Nim City.

The perception picture is no longer a blurred point of light, or a subconscious mind, but a clearer concrete image.

All energy cannot escape the net woven by the light guide.Every time it surges and circulates, like flying mosquitoes, Ian catches them all in one go.

He can even slow down everything in the sea of ​​consciousness, watch the shells shoot out from the barrel, and analyze its flying trajectory.

The Valentine fought and retreated, almost unable to support it.

Half of its space has lost pressure, three sub-computer rooms have been damaged and shut down, and the core machine in the main computer room is already operating at overload, and it is not far from collapse.

And the two cruisers of the Cruvia Army have already attacked, and the other one is about to break through the defense line of the Imperial Army.The powerful artillery fire hit the Valentine's body with bruises and bruises.

When the warship's pressurization system was damaged and stopped working, Leon finally gave the order to abandon the ship.

"Everyone on board. Execute Plan D!"

All soldiers will drive the mechs to leave the warship, face the enemy's artillery shells, and start a face-to-face interception battle with the enemy.

This group of soldiers knew very well that the possibility of surviving the overwhelming artillery fire from Kruvia was very slim.But this will still not change their determination to die bravely and buy as much time as possible for the large evacuated troops.

Ian opened his eyes, stood up, and looked at Leon who was striding towards him.

"I'll go with you." Ian was surprisingly calm.

Leon's eyes were bloodshot, hot sweat rolled on his forehead, and a strong feeling of sadness and determination rolled in his chest.

"I will die," he said. "Even if I were the Dark Sentinel, I would not be able to fight against several warships with sufficient gunfire by myself."

"I know." Ian said.

"But I will still fight to the last moment." Leon said, "I am the commander, and I will not run away."

"I know." Ian walked up to him and said firmly, "I'll go with you. I think maybe I have a way."

The depressurized Valentine is rapidly collapsing and is no longer suitable for staying for a long time.The soldiers immediately flew the mecha away from the flagship.

Behind them, according to the system settings, the Valentine began to accelerate towards the Kruvia's flagship.

The cruiser temporarily ignored the imperial troops who had evacuated from the warship, turned around and chased after the Valentine's artillery fire.

On Cruvia's flagship, the system sounded a collision alert.

"Blow it up—" the commander of the Greek Army stared at the screen, gritting his teeth.

For a moment, all the barrels were aimed at the Valentine and fired at the same time.

While the projectile light penetrated the Valentine's body, its self-explosion system was activated at the same time.

The huge warship trembled, and then exploded from within, turning into billowing gray-white dust.

The explosive yield of the flagship is astonishing, and the resulting space junk is as dense as a thick cloud.The cloud of gray fog spread rapidly, mixed with fragments fired at a high speed, and rushed towards the nearby cruiser, piercing through the deck and breaking the windows of the ship, and the system sounded a loss of pressure alarm.

Just when the Valentine launched a suicide attack on the flagship of the Croatian Army, Leon was already driving Asura, hovering in space, leading the five hundred soldiers behind him.

The mecha cockpit in the combat state has become very narrow for combat needs, and the main space is given up to the main driver.Ian had to huddle on the passenger seat in the corner.

"If..." Leon said to Ian with difficulty, "if things get bad..."

"Do you trust me, Leon?" Ian interrupted him.

"Of course!" Leon said immediately.

Ian put his hands on Leon's shoulders, staring into his sea-blue eyes turned from excitement.

"Don't just believe that I will not betray and hurt you, but believe that I am capable enough for you to rely on and entrust, and give your body and soul to me. You trust me as you trust yourself, and treat me as part of you."

Leon didn't understand, but still smiled softly.

"You have long been a part of me, my love. My soul has long been entrusted to you."

Ian took a deep breath cautiously, then held Leon's face in his arms and kissed it.

This was the first time that Yi An took the initiative to ask for a kiss, so unexpected and so gentle.Leon was shaken all over, his heart was surging.But immediately, he tasted a trace of blood.

Ian bit the tip of his tongue and sent blood into Leon's mouth, then he hooked his tongue again and bit the tip of his tongue.

The two bloodshots quickly fused together in the glued kiss, carrying each other's strong pheromones, through the wound, directly penetrated into the other's body system.

This is not a mutual marking between AOs, but a temporary binding between sentinels.

Leon opened his eyes suddenly, his pupils shrank rapidly, and he could see the starlight outside the driving window and the lights from the enemy ship.

At this moment, he felt it!

Planets, warships, explosions, rays of energy...

Everything that Ian can perceive is passed to Leon's sea of ​​consciousness through this binding.

Ian once asked Guangji: "After binding the whistle to the spiritual network, all emotions and mental states are shared, and it is easy to increase the probability of an individual being attacked by negative spirits. But unbinding has so many side effects. Or will they bind together like moths to a flame?"

Guangji replied: "Because of empathy."

"Is it just because you can't stand the temptation of the pleasure brought by empathy?" Ian asked.

"Pleasure is only one of the functions of empathy, and it is not even its main function." Guang Ji said, "Most of the Gushao Xiang people are soldiers, and empathy plays a vital role in their work and battles. The guide can not only clear the garbage in the sentinel's spiritual network, but also use its own empathy ability to assist the sentinel to fight better."

"When the sentinel is bound, all the perception of the guide will be passed on to the sentinel. The guide who is relatively weak and has no combat ability is responsible for sensing the ever-changing changes on the battlefield, and the sentinel with strong physique is responsible for combat. This is the use of 'binding'. military role."

"Shaoxiangs blend their souls into one body, advance and retreat together, and live and die together. This is also the highest level of your human union. In order to reach this height, the Shaoxiangs are willing to take the risk of unbonding sequelae."

At this moment, Leon no longer needs sight, nor does he need the data screens in Asura's cockpit.The whole battlefield was presented in his sea of ​​consciousness with a wonderful posture that he had never felt before.

The flow of energy describes everything: the direction and power of the shell, the structure and operation of the weapon, the outline of the warship, and the loopholes in the defense!

And there is nothing more profound and thorough than the Light Guide's perception of all things, and no one is more powerful than the Dark Sentinel.When they are combined, they can indeed become a force that destroys everything.The small ones can change the battlefield situation, and the big ones can change the whole world.

In just a few seconds, before his lips parted, Leon had a sufficient and perfect counterattack strategy in his heart!

He was overjoyed, grabbed the back of Ian's head, deepened the kiss that was about to retreat, and swept his tongue heavily across the sweet and warm mouth, the kiss made Ian's breath flutter, and his whole body burst into hot flashes.

"This is indeed a good idea." Leon laughed hoarsely, and lightly touched Ian's rosy cheeks with his fingers wearing combat gloves.

"I will reward you well after we are out of danger, Father Mitchell!"

In the next ten minutes or so, 1 soldiers from the broken rear team and more than [-] Kruvia troops witnessed the birth of a generation of war gods.

In the pitch-black space, the black Asura is almost impossible to catch with the naked eye.In the military radar network, it is a light spot that flickers like a ghost.

Not only is it fast, but it can also accurately avoid the hail of bullets and shuttle freely like a swift.

Before the Cruvia army could react at all, Asura had already killed him.With a horizontal cut of its saber, the rows of gun barrels were chopped off at the root.Dozens of light bullets that were about to shoot out of the barrel exploded directly in the injector.

Asura swept from the bow to the stern, exploding all the way behind him.In just ten seconds or so, this cruiser was blown up to only half of its body.

"What is that?" In the flagship command room, everyone looked at each other, as if they were dreaming.

The surviving soldiers drove their mechs to escape from the depressurized cruiser. Before they could figure out their direction, they were attacked again by the elite mecha soldiers of the Imperial Army.

Asura had arrived at the second cruise ship at this time.

The main gun that was about to be fired was completely blown up, the entire arsenal was depressurized, and the ammunition flew out of space.The Mecha Squad of the Croatian Army came out after knowing it, and Ashura detonated the ammunition scattered in the airspace with one shot, sending the opponent flying all over the sky.

One cruiser after another was defenseless before the sudden attack.The bullets of the shuttle repeatedly missed, either hitting the warship or accidentally injuring friendly troops.The mecha soldiers were flying around like headless chickens, and before they could form an formation, they were blown up by the guns from the imperial army's pursuit. .

The moment Asura charged towards the flagship, he pulled out a pair of ice-white and glaring sabers behind him.

"Asura——" the army murmured, full of fear, "this mecha is Asura! It is driven by Coleman, Leonardo Coleman!"

"Darkness... Sentinel?" The commander of the Khan army widened his eyes, watching Asura flying towards him with a knife in the video, and remembered a piece of information he had read in a military newspaper.

The officers were not very interested in this piece of information, thinking that it was mostly a bragging of a combat warrior by the Imperial Army, and it was just a publicity stunt.

The Sentinel is a race that has been extinct for tens of thousands of years. All about their strength are just legends.

Today, the legend has become a reality.

"Impossible..." the commander sneered tremblingly, "He is just a stand-alone mecha... and we are a whole warship!"

The cold sweat on his forehead betrayed his fear.

"Now all the firepower is chasing him, he can't escape..."

"Sir, he disappeared from the quantum radar!" the signalman shouted.

"What?" The commander threw himself on the display screen, "Expand the scanning range! Nothing can disappear from the quantum radar, even a mosquito can be caught!"

"It's already the maximum range, sir. We still have nothing!"

"Then rescan—"

Bang—the warship suddenly shook.Not too violent, but enough to make everyone quiet.

"There is no attack..." The soldier looked at the calm system screen in wonder.

In the next second, as if in response to his words, deafening alarms and roaring explosions flooded the sky, drowning out all sounds.

The pressure maintenance device of the entire warship suddenly collapsed, and the cabins could not withstand the huge pressure difference, and they exploded one after another.Before the soldiers could put on the light armor, they were sucked into the vacuum of space, like ants being swept away by a vacuum cleaner.

The computer room was blown up, and the warship system was paralyzed.The core unit short-circuited, the energy system stopped working, and all the lights on the warship went out...

In the end, the arsenal was detonated by Asura's time bomb.

Less than 10 minutes later, the flagship of the Cruvia Army followed in the footsteps of the Valentine——

It was as if an invisible big hand held the warship in its palm, crushing it to pieces with destructive power, turning it into a gray billowing cloud!

Asura leaped out of the clouds like a black eagle, hanging high above, flipped a pair of knives with both knives, and retracted them neatly into the scabbard behind him.

Victory is decided.

The failure came too quickly, like a slap that was caught off guard. The soldiers of the Cruvia Army were beaten with stares, their skin hurt, but they didn't know how to react.

They were like lost dogs, wandering blankly among the wreckage of the warship and the corpses of their comrades-in-arms, unable to receive orders from their superiors, and did not know what to do next.

"Guang Ji," Leon asked, "Can you help me connect to the communication network of the Cruvia Army?"

Guang Ji's voice came from Asura's cockpit speaker: "Yes. This will help you connect."

After a while, a young and steady male voice came from the earphones of the soldiers of the Cruvia Army.

"Dear Kruvia Army soldiers, I am Major Coleman, the commander of the Imperial Army's K-17 Star Marine Corps."

The Croatian soldiers, who had only seen the major's devil-like behavior a few minutes ago, panicked.

And Leon's voice is steady and deep, magnetic, and has a calming power.

"I regret that today ended in this way. The massacre of prisoners of war and civilians in the K-17 mining area yesterday was indeed initiated by our military officer, Colonel Pat. Our army has detained Pat and will soon be sent to a military court for trial We will never condone his behavior that seriously violates international conventions and the laws of war, and we will definitely give an explanation to the soldiers and civilians who were killed!"

"I personally understand your retaliatory actions very well. However, as a commander who shoulders the lives of thousands of officers and soldiers, I also have an obligation to ensure the safe evacuation of my soldiers. For this reason, from my standpoint, I will do whatever it takes to cooperate with you Anti-war."

"Now, I am about to lead my soldiers away. You can temporarily land on the planet, join your soldiers, and wait for the military to rescue you."

"This is a hopeless war, warriors. Neither of us will be a winner. Hope the peace talks can be concluded soon."

Communication lost.The Cruvia soldiers were dead silent.

"Retreat!" Leon's thick and powerful voice spread throughout the communication network of the Imperial Army.

The comms responded with wild cheers.

Without the warship, it is impossible for these mech soldiers in Kruvia to catch up with the retreating troops only by relying on the power and endurance of the mechs.They had to land on K-17 according to Leon's persuasion, waiting for their military rescue.

An imperial warship flew out from star K-17 and picked up the soldiers of the imperial army.

In Asura's cockpit, Leon took off his helmet and gloves, and turned to look at Ian who was sitting in the co-pilot.

Ian's complexion was pale, and his black hair stuck to his temples, as if he had just been fished out of the water.

It was the first time I felt the same way with the Sentinel, and after going through such a huge battle, even if the whole process only lasted 10 minutes, Ian was still exhausted.

This kind of mental exhaustion reflected on his body, causing Ian to sit slumped in the narrow co-pilot, without even the strength to stand up, so he could only smile at Leon.

The smile was weak, but full of relief.

Leon's eyes were burning, he threw away his gloves, and rushed to kiss him.
