Chapter 633 The Legend
Ends Dawn 1126.
This year Lin Guyuan is 116 years old.
Following the Thunder Tribe, after decades of stable development, the human race once again faced a new and powerful hostile force.
At this time, Lin Guyuan was already 116 years old, but as a cultivator, he still had the energy to take charge of the tactical command center.
That day, Lin Guyuan was looking through the information sent by the Psychic Research Institute in his office.
The picture on the file was a domain creature that was red in color and shaped like an enlarged cockroach.
The tribe to which this creature belongs is called the Red Sand Tribe, and it is also a new challenge and threat to the northern front of the human race at this stage. Although the Red Sand life is shaped like a cockroach, it has wisdom that is not inferior to that of humans. The domain field where this
tribe is located is full of yellow sand. It seems that the environment is harsh, but in fact it has rich spiritual mineral resources.
The Red Sand Domain Field is located in the northwest of the North Supply Area of Star City. Before it connects with the human race, there is a "morphological domain field" in the middle.
At that time, the human race was constantly squeezing the living space of the morphological race from the northwest and plundering resources, while the red sand tribe was eroding the resources and life of the morphological field from the other side.
When the morphological field was broken, the border between the human race and the red sand tribe was officially connected.
There was no negotiation and consultation process. When they first met, the human race and the red sand tribe broke out in war because of the distribution of the inventory resources of the morphological field.
The competition between tribes is so cruel. They completely put aside the so-called etiquette and morality and only fight for interests.
Later, by bringing the bodies of the red sand tribe back to the Psychic Research Institute for dissection and analysis, they have a clear understanding of the innate abilities of the red sand tribe.
The red sand tribe is born with a very strong physique, but it did not go all the way on the path of physical cultivation. Instead, it developed a special ability to control the yellow sand according to the characteristics of its own life form, and it also has a very strong magic lethality on the battlefield.
Every red sand tribe life is very good at close combat and magic attack, and is not afraid of the close attack of the human assassin warriors.
Sitting in the chair, Lin Guyuan was devoted.
In order to develop a combat strategy against the life of the Red Sand Tribe, he must have a detailed understanding of the life structure, ability characteristics, and other knowledge of the Red Sand Tribe.
But compared to the Thunder Tribe, the Red Sand Tribe did not make him feel pressured. Compared with the Thunder
Tribe, the Red Sand Tribe is more comprehensive and seems to have no shortcomings, but in fact, the threat to the human race is very limited. There is no special ability to restrain the human race's combat system. This is incomparable to the Thunder Tribe's magic combat group.
Even though the overall strength of the Red Sand Tribe is not weaker than that of the Thunder Tribe, this time the human race has been the advantage from the moment the war began.
Lin Guyuan has also seen the future of the human race defeating the Red Sand Tribe.
But he still feels that it is very necessary to study the life characteristics of the Red Sand Tribe.
The purpose of formulating a new combat plan is to win the battle while reducing casualties as much as possible.
His current authority is enough to read the highest-level information in Star City, so he knows clearly how harsh the environment the human race will face in the future.
If the human race wants to develop in the long run, it must accumulate strength to meet the most difficult challenges.
If nothing unexpected happens, when Mo invades the human world, the human race will join forces with Mu to fight against Mo's invasion.
At that time, the human race will face the gathering of countless powerful forces. Even if there are warriors returning from Tongtian Road to help, the possibility of winning is still very slim.
Because of this, he believes that the human race must accumulate strength and must not waste its foundation for rapid expansion in this era and lead to a setback.
The Chisha War lasted for 28 years.
In order to defeat the Chisha tribe, Lin Guyuan specifically developed many new combat configurations targeting the weaknesses of the Chisha tribe.
Victory was steadily advancing under Lin Guyuan's planning, and he was not in a hurry for success.
At the end of the 28-year war, the elderly Lin Guyuan would still cheer and shout excitedly with his comrades.
But after cheering, he suddenly turned his head and looked out the window of the tactical hall.
His white-haired face was reflected on the transparent glass of the window, and heavy snow was falling outside.
For some reason, he suddenly felt a little lonely in his heart.
He knew that he didn't have much time to stay on the front line.
"Mr. Lin, what's wrong with you?"
A young soldier sitting next to Lin Guyuan saw the change in Lin Guyuan's expression, thinking that Lin Guyuan was not feeling well, and hurried forward to ask.
"I don't know how many more times I can watch the heavy snow on the front line with you... I will cherish every time in the future."
The originally lively tactical hall suddenly became quiet at this moment.
After hearing Lin Guyuan's answer, the young soldier was silent for a short time
and a trace of reluctance appeared in his eyes. He understood what Lin Guyuan was thinking and what he was worried about.
But he also knew that some things were destined to have an end and could not continue indefinitely.
After the end of the Red Sand Battle, the human race ushered in a period of steady development until the appearance of the wet demons.
Lin Guyuan, who had reached retirement age, delayed his retirement and resolutely chose to continue to fight on the front line, giving advice to the human race to defeat the wet demons and personally planning various combat plans.
At this time, Lin Guyuan was already a living legend in the eyes of many young soldiers.
No matter what difficult challenges the human race faced, even if they could not find a solution for the time being, Lin Guyuan could always find a correct direction for the human race after a period of silence.
The word "genius" is the evaluation of Lin Guyuan from the heart by the frontline soldiers.
He can always find new content that has not been discovered by predecessors in the existing system and combine completely different combat strategies.
Feng Qi once said that one of the differences between weak races and strong races lies in the efficiency of resource utilization.
This sentence can also be interpreted in depth as one of the differences between weak races and strong races can also be the difference in the efficiency of the utilization of the existing system.
Although Lin Guyuan's achievements did not promote the development of any scientific research system, they brought the existing system to another level, helped the human race to break new paths in the field of system construction, and made great contributions to promoting the construction of combat power on the front line.
He is the well-deserved tactical god of the human race, a world-renowned number one war god who has never fought in battle but is admired by everyone.
Even though he was old, Lin Guyuan was still on the road of building combat power at the front line, and he never meant to stop.
...
Dawn 1196.
This year Lin Guyuan was already 186 years old.
He had been in charge of the tactical command for more than a hundred years, and he was finally about to retire.
Although he felt that he was still healthy, he often felt slow in thinking about problems. His brain was like a rusty machine, and he could no longer think of countless ideas anytime and anywhere like when he was young, and automatically piece together the knowledge in his mind to form interesting tactical ideas.
Lifespans like his are extremely rare on the front line.
According to normal lifespan estimates, frontline soldiers generally have a lifespan of more than 250+, but under normal circumstances, the lifespan of frontline soldiers does not meet expectations.
Because the environment on the front line is very harsh, and fighting on the battlefield consumes a lot of physical functions.
As a result, soldiers who instinctively live for more than 200 years generally reach retirement age at the age of 60-70, but more of them die on the battlefield before reaching retirement age.
Lin Guyuan felt that he could live to this age because he never went to the battlefield to fight against creatures in the hostile domain, and he was also a cultivator.
Although he often stayed up late to do tactical research, staying up late would cause limited damage to the body of a cultivator.
Now he felt that he was gradually unable to do it. Even though he was reluctant to leave, Lin Guyuan knew that it was time to make a decision.
He had fought in the Battle of Nishui, the Battle of Thunder, the Battle of Chisha, the Battle of Wet Demons... and other large and small racial wars. He had fought all his life and had long been accustomed to life on the front line. He was confused about returning to Star City.
There were no relatives there.
In his eyes, the young soldiers on the front line were his descendants and his relatives.
But in the face of the decision of the Supreme Council of Star City, he did not raise any objections and knew that he should leave.
The change in his physical condition indicated that even if he could hold on for another ten years, he would eventually reach the end of this journey of life.
In recent years, the environment around the human race has been relatively stable, and the combat system of the military has been upgraded in a variety of ways. Even if he could hold on for another ten years, he would not bring about earth-shaking changes to the front line.
Retirement at this time is a good choice for him.
At the same time, his abdication will leave more room for the younger generation of the human race to perform.
After so many years in charge of the Tactical Command, the rising stars of the Tactical Command have become accustomed to his decisions, which is not a good thing for the future.
Taking advantage of this period of stable development, his departure can allow the younger generation to grow better.
Considering from the three perspectives of the top management, himself, and the younger generation, he felt that the idea of the Star City Supreme Council was right, and he should return to Star City and live a retired life.
On this day, Lin Guyuan received a discharge certificate issued by the Star City Supreme Council.
He was already 186 years old and suddenly burst into tears.
After a lifetime of military service, there is always a way back.
He stood up and swept his eyes across the certificates of honor on the wall of the office.
His eyes came to the first certificate, which was issued by the Tactical Command after the development of the magic sniper rifle.
His eyes came to the second certificate, the Medal of Outstanding Contribution to Humanity, which was issued by the Star City Supreme Council after the successful development of the magic healing (amplification) cannon.
...
Behind each piece of glory is a record of his growth years.
His eyes swept down from the first certificate of honor, and the corresponding memory images kept emerging in his mind.
From a young man who had just stepped onto the front line to a gray-haired man now, he had devoted his entire life to the front line and regarded this place as the destination of his life. He
was about to leave, and he was reluctant to leave.
He thought about continuing to live on the front line after giving up power, and he knew that if he proposed this suggestion, the Supreme Council of Star City would definitely agree to approve it.
But he felt that he could not set a precedent.
There were many veterans who were unwilling to leave like him. They had dedicated their entire lives to the front line like him, and they had become accustomed to the life on the front line, but they would still choose to leave after receiving the order to retire.
If Star City set a precedent because of him, it might have to build a pension system for the front line.
Building a pension system on the front line of combat would not only waste resources, but would also have a certain impact on the development of the front line.
From any perspective, Star City is the final destination for veterans like them.
So he did not apply, and he thought he should not apply, even though he had made many contributions to the development of the front line in his life.
After a long time, he began to clean up the office.
Before leaving, he decided to take all his memories with him.
Late at night, Lin Guyuan said hello to the soldiers on duty at the gate of the station and left the tactical command station alone.
It was snowing outside the station. He walked in a thin military uniform, his eyes swept across the buildings under the lights, and the corresponding memories always emerged in his mind. He
had been here for too long, and every step was a memory.
Finally, he came to the statue of Fengqi standing in the supply area.
Snowflakes were falling, and the statue of Fengqi was still standing here in the same posture as when he was young.
Lin Guyuan thought of his youth at this time. He was always the most staunch believer of Fengqi. When he encountered something when he was young, he always liked to turn over Fengqi's photos from his favorites, put his hands together and kept muttering devoutly.
This habit has not changed until now.
Looking up at the statue of Fengqi, he had tears in his eyes and murmured his thoughts.
At this moment, he no longer had the majesty he had in the tactical command center, like a child telling his parents about his inner distress.
The person Lin Guyuan admired most in his life was Feng Qi.
It was because he knew history and Feng Qi that he knew how much effort Feng Qi had put in for the rise of the human race and how much suffering he had endured.
In the early days, the human race was plagued by internal and external troubles, and even the foundation for development was particularly weak.
It was Feng Qi who unified the thoughts within the human race, eliminated the hidden dangers hidden within the human race, and it was Feng Qi who created many systems that have developed to this day.
It can be said that the current strength of the human race is built entirely on the foundation provided by Feng Qi.
A saint is always selfless and takes the heart of the people as his own.
He always believed that the most fortunate thing for the human race was that a saint like Fengqi appeared when the era of disaster came.
Since the dawn, there have been too many outstanding talents in the human race, but no one can compare with Fengqi.
This is not because the filter of history has deified Fengqi, but because the facts have proved that Fengqi's great contribution has laid the foundation for the development of the human race.
Today, Fengqi is a totem symbol of the cohesion of the human race, and it is also the direction that countless descendants of the human race are chasing.
Where the sword of dawn points, it is where my heart is.
The eternal guide of the human race, this is the definition of Fengqi's thought by modern people.
When he was young, he felt his blood boiling because of Fengqi's story.
Fengqi's cry of "struggle for the rise of the human race" more than a thousand years ago seemed to descend on him through the barriers of history books and time and space. It was from that time that he had his own dreams and goals.
Even if the faith connection was established, he had never had any spiritual consciousness communication with Fengqi, but deep in his heart, he always regarded Fengqi as his spiritual guide.
As they were about to part, he told Fengqi about his distress.
In the snow, Lin Guyuan stood up straight for the last time and saluted the statue of Fengqi at dawn:
"Old soldier Lin Guyuan, I am officially retired. May the military of our human race prosper under your protection!"
With the ceremony, the legend of an era came to an end.
In the flying snow, the lonely figure left and walked slowly towards the tactical command headquarters, the place where his dream began...
Time is ruthless, the Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes.
Countless heroes intertwined and wrote the epic rise of the human race. They became legends for a period of time in the long river of history.
But legends will eventually pass away, and there will always be new legends to continue the relay.
The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times.
The story of the rise of Star City ends, and the perspective switches back to Fengqi at the beginning of the next chapter.
