Chen Feng could not guess the motives of Ray.

But no matter from which angle you look at it, Ray has no mercy on humans.

Since humans fled to other planets, Ray has never stopped invading and pursuing humans.

On average, there are hundreds of small battles every year, and one or two large battles.

On average, there will be at least one major battle every ten years, which may be initiated by humans or by Ray.

Human warships are backward in all aspects, and their performance in all aspects is inferior to that of the war weapons developed by Ray.

If it were not for the excellent performance of the Eagle Strike Armor, which allowed the individual weapons that should have become cannon fodder in the interstellar war to break the balance of power, human freedom would have been destroyed under the iron hoof of Ray.

But even so, the Freedom Front still suffered heavy casualties. Even with advanced medical conditions today, casualties in every major war still number in the hundreds of millions.

The most recent major war took place six years ago.

At the time, Tang Tianxin, who was only 18 years old, was just a captain of a small battleship.

The column she originally belonged to was defeated in a fierce battle, and even the captain of the column was killed.

At the same time, Ray suddenly took out the Halo War Beast that had just been successfully developed. Even though this extremely powerful special combat machine was in small quantities, it caught the Freedom Front off guard.

Large-scale defeats continued to spread, and the Freedom Front was in danger.

Tang Tianxin persuaded the captains of several other small battleships that had defeated the fleet, and all the crew members hid in the wreckage of the half-destroyed mother ship. They floated and dived in the universe for two months, and suddenly rushed out of the wreckage of the large bio-battery space station near the south pole of the Dyson membrane, launching a desperate attack, using the power of battleship engines and countless Eagle Strike Warriors to charge and self-destruct to destroy tens of thousands of Ray's transport ships, temporarily cutting off the Ray's supply line. The Free Front took advantage of the situation to counterattack, and humans were spared and had some time to recuperate.

Nearly 200 million humans were killed in the battle.

Tang Tianxin emerged and established the Tianxin Column.

This is not an isolated case and has been going on for nearly a hundred years.

If humans can still get the energy supply of the Dyson membrane, and if humans can choose their own birth mode under the new medical technology, they will have a strong desire to reproduce, and the survival rate of newborns is extremely high. Smart nannies and teachers can solve a large part of the care and education problems. The Free Front has achieved the ultimate in the cause of racial reproduction in the long war, and the population of free humans would have dropped to a level that is unbearable to look at.

It can be seen that the logic of destroying mankind must have a very high priority in Ray's will.

Nearly twenty hours later, the battleship finally arrived at the Tianxin Column base in the northern hemisphere of Mars.

Tang Tianxin returned to the commander's guest cabin first, "Chen Feng, your situation needs to be kept secret right now, so I have to lock you in a box so that no one else can see you. Just be patient."

Chen Feng nodded in a muffled voice, "Okay."

Tang Tianxin added, "Don't worry, this box is one-way shielded, people outside can't see it, but you can see outside, and our brainwave communication is always connected, so you can tell me anything. I'll let you out as soon as we get back to the base. To avoid unnecessary trouble, you can live in the closet in my bedroom for the time being. If you find it too stuffy, I can leave the closet door open."

Chen Feng silently praised, your desire to reproduce is really strong!

The Tianxin Column Base, which is enclosed in a huge force field, covers a large area. The layout makes Chen Feng feel a little familiar, and it is at least 70% similar to the previous Daxue Mountain Base.

Even though it is a different planet, it seems that some things are destined by heaven.

However, the building layout is still somewhat different from the Daxue Mountain Base.

Almost no building is completely fixed on the ground. At first glance, they seem to be buildings, but if you look closely, you can find that the design of the building is very delicate, with a modular layout that can be freely disassembled and assembled.

For example, the dormitory building that can be seen from a distance is about 150 meters high. It is made up of at least eight parts, and each part can be switched to a fully closed mode. In the middle of the joint, there are some large metal cylinders distributed at a 45-degree angle. They are clearly the retracted particle engine nozzles.

If there is an accident, all buildings can quickly take off and escape.

It really takes the guerrilla strategy to the extreme.

This is also the only way.

Everything is for survival.

Everyone in the battleship simply tidied up their appearance.

Including Chen Feng, a total of 271 remnants of the Tianxin Column walked towards the battleship's exit port.

The square in front, which was not spacious, was crowded with about hundreds of thousands of people.

These are non-combat members of the Tianxin Column Base, and some are ordinary soldiers who are not so elite.

Among them, there are five or six thousand people gathered at the front.

There are old and young people in the crowd at the front, but there are almost only old and young people.

There are not many young and middle-aged people, accounting for only about one-tenth.

The elderly have gray hair, the young are toddlers, and there are some children under ten years old.

The elderly are usually the elders in the warriors' families, and the young are the descendants of the warriors.

Almost everyone craned their necks to look at the warriors walking down the stairs, trying to find familiar faces among them.

They want to know if their family and friends are alive.

In fact, this news could have been sent back earlier through data communication, but now the major columns of the Freedom Front have agreed to what is commonly known as a spontaneous custom.

If there are still surviving soldiers in the column, the bad news will be released to the families and friends of the dead at the last minute.

Only a completely destroyed column will send back the news immediately.

The dead bring sorrow, and the survivors bring hope.

When seeing the soldiers returning from the battle, even if they are not their own relatives, they will always be stronger.

The soldiers walked down the steps of the battleship one by one and opened the family communication channel.

The surviving soldiers were recognized by their relatives and friends who were near or far, and enthusiastic cheers rang out from time to time in the crowd.

But more areas in front of the square were still dead silent.

Until the end, the box containing Chen Feng walked in the front, and Tang Tianxin followed slowly behind.

Every time he returned from an expedition, Tang Tianxin was the last one to walk out of the battleship.

When Tang Tianxin's figure appeared at the exit, it meant that there were no more survivors.

Most of the friends and relatives who were watching already knew the result of waiting.

This time, a total of thirteen battleships went out, but only one returned, and it was the number of a special battleship.

Eleven thousand three hundred of the most elite Eagle Strike Warriors went out, but only two hundred and seventy returned, no more.

How tragic, how heavy the loss has ever been.

Eagle Strike Armor requires extremely high comprehensive qualities of the warriors.

In this era, warriors who can ride the Eagle Strike Armor usually have a higher level of genetic awakening. When

two highly awakened people with comprehensive qualities suitable for riding the Eagle Strike Armor and with fighting talents come together, it is indeed easier to give birth to new warriors.

In the past hundred years, except for some new warriors who have genetic mutations, most Eagle Strike Warriors have family-inherited characteristics.

Therefore, the vast majority of warrior families here have lost more than just one relative.

Today, when the average life expectancy is over 190 years old, most elderly people have lost their sons, daughters, nephews, nieces, grandchildren, great-grandchildren... Most

children have lost their fathers, mothers, uncles, aunts, grandfathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, grandmothers, great-grandfathers...

How can they not be sad?

The square was silent at

first. It was not just one person who started sobbing.

Then, the sobbing seemed to be contagious, slowly echoing throughout the square.

But not even one person burst into tears.

People were holding back tears, clenching their teeth, their eyes were full of red bloodshot, their eye sockets suddenly turned red, and sweat dripped from their temples.

Nothing has changed, but the blazing sun in the distance has also become darker.

The warriors have gone to war and have not returned, leaving only their wishes for the blue sky.

Tang Tianxin's eyes were also red.

She took a deep breath and said loudly: "Everyone, our mission is successful."

As soon as she finished speaking, the square suddenly cried out in grief.

Everyone knows how important this mission is.

Now that we have succeeded, we can finally cry a little.

Not dying in vain is victory!
