Later, when Sean recalled the battle of Huang Ze, the most remaining memory was the explosion of stars.
He even felt a little beautiful when the first red meteor fell.
At that time, he was just a patrolman of the fortress, staring blankly at the fire rain. Immerse yourself in dreamland.
However, it is not the same as the imagined attack. It is difficult to imagine that the explosion of the stars caused by the hot weapon is so small that it is not enough to threaten the Huangze Fortress. Therefore, there are often conspiracy theories in later generations that the alliance's attack was fabricated by the empire. , but the evidence is no longer available.
But Sean knew that at that time, it was indeed the empire's own hands and feet.
The alliance's warships did not want to invade the Huangze Fortress at that time, but to avoid large-scale star explosions. Their warships were too concentrated for future raids. Of course, if the alliance had not already been eyeing the border, they would not have been attacked. This time the stars exploded into the Empire.
What happened next seemed natural. The Alliance was forced to act ahead of time and enter the Huang Ze Fortress, where the parade mecha under the command of the Imperial General Yan Shuo counterattacked.
As for why Sean knew... It was because he was the only one who didn't receive an internal notification, and as soon as he saw the alliance's warship, he drove a small combat ship and rushed up desperately.
Until his battleship was dragged back by his own people, he was still red-eyed and at a loss.
"He's a good soldier."
"Um... yes, to dedicate one's life to the country?"
It was his own mistake to fight without authorization. When he realized his mistake, Sean didn't intend to back down. He bluntly said that the legendary General Yan Shuo was just a man who was greedy for life and feared death and surrendered the land.
It wasn't until the handsome young man beside the admiral comforted him with tears and laughter, and explained the ins and outs to him, that he realized in a trance how much wrong he had done.
"I'm sorry, we didn't control the explosion of the stars very well this time." The young man's voice was cold and pleasant, "But it has achieved the expected result. Since the warship of the alliance has stepped into Huang Ze, Then it is already the horn of war, no matter from which point of view, it is the alliance that violated the regulations first."
"The alliance has a total of twelve large starships, fifty-seven medium-sized combat ships, and twenty-three small combat ships. This is the data we have obtained from our current cruise."
How good it sounds, until more than ten years later, when Colonel Sean recalled the battle to his young grandson, he still remembered every word that the young man said.
"Obviously, this is also an advance troop. Now they are docked in the center of Huang Ze. They are in the dark and we are in the dark. It is the best to outflank, but the firepower of the starship is very large. If you are not careful, the entire Huang Ze will be destroyed. Ze."
"I don't know if you have heard of Trojan horses, um... I want to propose myself and sneak into the interior of the enemy ship."
"Wait... wait, are you alone?"
"Well, I'm alone."
When Sean recalled this scene, his eyes seemed to reflect the fire and rain of that prosperous world again.
"Oh, you know, there won't be that person in the history books. After all, even Admiral Yan Shuo has become a node in history, but only those who have actually participated in the center of the battle will know how... Incredible genius."
To this day, he does not know the name of the young man.
"They called him Shen."
That night, the entire army of Huang Ze Fortress retreated, leaving only a half-finished mecha in the silent fortress. Perhaps Huang Ze Fortress was too old to be a threat in the eyes of the Alliance Advance Team.
They accepted the mecha as the spoils of the first day without any doubt.
"Destroyed the central power source of the twelve starships. We don't know how he did it, not even General Yan. Speaking of which... When he made that proposal at first, General Yan looked too angry. ."
"After all, it's too dangerous and too unbelievable, but he just did it."
"Shen looks about my age. Grandpa was really ashamed at the time."
"Well, now too."
He narrowed his eyes and frowned slightly.
"If they hadn't died back then, they might have grandsons as big as you now."
"It's been thirty years."
The great victory of the Battle of Huang Ze is not the end of the war, but the beginning of the war. It seems that in order to wash away the shame of the year, and it seems that it has received the help of the country of machinery, the alliance still swells to the point where it has lost twelve starships. go to war.
The war that lasted for eight years ended in the 741st year of the interstellar calendar.
The words in the history books have always been light, and the number of casualties cannot intuitively tell how much displacement and separation of life and death.
Coincidentally, the first battle started in Huang Ze and ended in Huang Ze.
The Imperial Eagle General Yanshuo drove the mecha "Raphael" and the seven top-equipped mechas of the alliance perished in the Huangze Fortress and disappeared into the vast sea of stars.
This great and cruel one-for-seven exchange created another brilliance for Admiral Yan Shuo, but it was a pity that he was never seen again.
It was also this one-for-seven exchange that caused the Alliance to completely lose its high combat power and signed a second armistice agreement.
The alliance is always so unlucky, but the empire is not much better, they even lost an empire-level admiral.
"Forget it, let's not talk about that."
Colonel Sean touched his hair. In fact, he is not old. Sixty years old is still a prime age for human beings today, but his mood is much older.
Then he touched his grandson's cheek again.
"It's been thirty years, it's really unforgiving."
The galaxy turns and the morning star shatters. No matter how amazing a person is, they are still a peaceful speck of dust under the sea of time.
The child blinked, and there was not a trace of war haze between the clear pupils.
A very secret red dot flickered in the flowers, then dimmed.
"This is G54. No other information about Admiral Yan Shuo has been detected."
"This is No. H32, and I haven't heard it."
The queen, who is no longer young, interspersed her hands with her hands, looking unhappy.
"It's been thirty years, is Xin Yanshuo really dead?"
"No matter from which point of view, Yan Shuo has no chance of surviving. We have been analyzing it for thirty years... Your Majesty, if he is still alive, why didn't he show up?"
"He is the eagle of the empire, the number one general, and countless glory are waiting for him, why doesn't he come back?"
The queen took a breath.
"Because he's a really annoying guy."
And on a country star hundreds of thousands of light-years away from the center of the empire, someone also reminisced about the past.
"What magazine is this, Mechanical Eagle? Damn it, cool!"
Shen Tong swept away the thick layer of ash on the magazine. He was almost ten years old, still at the age of strong curiosity, and raised his head to look at the two adults who were bragging.
"Hey, two, where did this come from?"
Shen Zhifan stretched out a hand and pulled the mechanical eagle out, "I bought it a few years ago. This kind of magazine that has been discontinued for a long time is actually linked in the L galaxy. It is unimaginable that I bought two nostalgic copies."
"Mecha, mecha? I want to see it!"
Shen Tong is like a cat that has eaten fish, and will not let go.
Yan Shuo, who was reading the newspaper, raised a hand and pulled him up.
"Mecha, it's a very boring thing."
"No!" Shen Tong dared to rebel against his father only once in eight hundred years. "There is a mecha teacher in our school. I dare to say that the mecha is the greatest creation in this world!"
Yan Qiu, who was looking in the mirror next to him, shook his head and said, "Yes!"
"What's right? She confiscated her mirror. No matter how much you look at it, it won't look good."
When Yan Qiu was eight years old, she glanced at the whole family, then at herself, and groaned, "I'm not your own at all!"
Shen Tong howled, "Yes, not at all!"
Yan Shuo glanced coldly, "It wasn't originally."
The two children looked at each other, and deeply felt the iron heart of the parents. They held back the tears that had poured into their eyes and jumped out.
Shen Zhifan laughed, "Why do you always make trouble with children?"
Yan Shuo thought for a while, then leaned into his ear and exhaled, "Because you don't want to make trouble with me."
"Our mecha teacher came from the Central Galaxy and knows everything." Shen Tong hugged the mechanical eagle he snatched back, proud of himself, "If I get good grades, he said that he can take the school in the Central Galaxy, and then he will say Maybe you can see the real mecha."
Yan Qiu combed her pigtails pitifully. Yesterday, she confessed to the little brother next door and failed again. This has been eighteen times.
"Grades don't matter to me anymore, I've even seen through the world and men."
"Well... I look a lot like my father," Shen Tong glanced at her poor sister and came to a conclusion, "You may have really brought it here."
"Our teacher also told us about the Battle of Huang Ze, which is also the second full-scale battle between the Empire and the Alliance." Shen Tong straightened her body and thought while turning over the mechanical eagle, "There is also a surnamed Yan in it, follow us Dad's name."
When it was over, he snorted again.
"My father opened the armor, and our father opened the grilled fish."
Yan Qiu thought for a while, "But our father is still handsome."
"Okay," Shen Tong nodded, he had to admit that his father was handsome, the most handsome in the grilled fish shop. After all, he grew a pair of blue eyes with Yan Shuo, and followed the outline of Shen Zhifan, and he was already a hot item among girls at a young age, "I seem to have seen the introduction of the general in this magazine just now. ."
"There, this photo... um... "
Yan Qiu looked over, "Huh?"
"Look, is this our father?"
"… didn't run away."
"Hey, what kind of pirated magazine, the garbage is dead, and the photos are not posted correctly."
Shen Tong sighed.
"General, I want to be a general in the future!"
Shen Zhifan picked up the little brat from behind.
"Okay, future general, please finish your homework first, and why did your favorite mecha subject only get 16 points?"
General Shen Xiao died before he left the apprenticeship, bowed his head and said, "I haven't seen the real thing, I can't learn it."
Shen Zhifan thought for a while, then touched his head, "Do you really want to learn?"
Shen Tong's eyes were bright, "I really want to learn!"
Shen Zhifan said, "Then you first solve the problem of turning into a cat as soon as you are afraid."
"Dad, I can't control it." Shen Tong wilted and threw himself into his arms. This is a physiological reaction. "What did our family do before opening a grilled fish shop?"
"Well, let me think about it," Shen Zhifan said solemnly, "your father is the number one general of the empire, and he is very famous and charming. I am the number one male god of the Empire Mecha Alliance, and he is loved by thousands of people."
"Yes," Shen Tong was convinced, "I know where the gene for my love of blowing came from."
Shen Zhifan put him down angrily, "Go away, little brat."
Shen Kitten jumped and rolled, and after thinking about it, he picked up his magazine and prepared ambitiously for his mecha dream.
"What are you thinking about?"
Yan Shuo finished reading the newspaper, got up and looked at his absent-minded partner.
"I think I used to be like that too."
"Otherwise, sign him up for an interstellar mecha class. It's a bit expensive, but I've saved a lot of money over the years."
"Why are you being so nice to him all of a sudden?"
"Well, because they can't do a lot of things..."
"Mr. Shen, let them decide about the children. Let's get busy with the two of us now, okay?"
"...Yes," Mr. Shen laughed, "My General."
