The fire in the dark starry sky gradually faded, and the scorching light was quickly cooled by the cold deep space.
The broken bug ships fell apart and drifted into the depths of the universe bit by bit.
It was as if nothing had happened, leaving only silence.
However, this scene was deeply imprinted in the hearts of some people.
The holographic projection fell into a moment of silence.
Only the sound of choked sobs could be heard from time to time.
Qiao Nanyan and Sister Zhou stood rooted to the ground. Their eyes had turned red, and their defenses were instantly broken.
They had personally seen the Watchers rush out of the Southern Heavenly Gate and watch them fight with the Insects. Their blood boiled.
The strength of the Blade No. 1 mecha shocked them, but even so, sacrifices were still unavoidable.
The blue stream of light that rushed toward the bug ship seemed to be engraved in their hearts.
"How could this be!"
"It shouldn't be like this!"
Qiao Nanyan's eyes were red and moist. Sister Zhou's reaction was similar.
The two of them kept sniffing, unable to control their emotions.
In their minds, the scene of Lin Xiao igniting his mecha and charging towards the bug ship kept replaying.
" January 31st, New Year's Eve "
"On this day, we are all reunited with our families. The whole country is celebrating and preparing to celebrate the new year."
" I never thought that there would be such a group of people on the battlefield on the other side of the deep space who were fighting for us. They were the ones who protected us! Without them…Where did our reunion come from?"
"Before he sacrificed himself…Perhaps…I didn't even have time to eat New Year's Eve dinner."
Sister Zhou choked and muttered to herself.
Then, tears could no longer be stopped. They kept falling from her eyes and soon, her face was covered in tears.
Qiao Nanyan was even more upset. Although she kept wiping the corners of her eyes, tears kept pouring out. She couldn't wipe them all away.
The two of them hugged each other, their shoulders shaking as they cried silently.
The night is coming,
I will watch from now on until I die.
We shall not wear our crowns,
Don't fight for glory and favor, don't fight for fame and fortune.
I will do my duty faithfully and live and die here.
I would be the sword in the darkness
The guards on the Great Wall.
I dedicate my life and glory to my distant homeland
It was the same tonight, and it was the same every night.
This was the oath that the Watchmen had made.
It was also the oath that Lin Xiao had made.
Tonight, he fulfilled his oath and built the Great Wall of the Starry Sky with his flesh and blood.
He ignited the azure light of life and turned his will into a sword, launching an attack on the enemy without hesitation.
The fireworks on the space battlefield were the only images he left behind.
And this scene…He would inscribe eternity under this starry sky, and it would never change!
This scene would forever be imprinted in the hearts of all the Watchers and Qiao Nanyan, never to be forgotten.
After a long time, Qiao Nanyan and Sister Zhou calmed down and looked up at the projection again.
His nose was still sniffing.
After Lin Xiao's sacrifice, the Zergs did not dare to casually use the powerful giant Zergs to attack the Southern Heavenly Gate Base. They had already seen the outcome of their own kind.
However, just because they did not dare to attack did not mean that the Southern Heavenly Gate did not dare to attack.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were bloodshot.
Lu Li and Chen Qingyun led the Mechs and charged at the Zerg army.
As time passed, the Mechs suffered heavy losses, but Lu Li and Chen Qingyun had no intention of retreating.
That was because…Their mission was not yet complete!
Until the cold voice of the mecha rang out again.
The Southern Heavenly Gate Base sent a signal that the space antimatter rail cannon was ready to fire at any time!
Immediately after, a message came from the Southern Heavenly Gate Base. A young voice came from the communicator.
Chief Engineer Lu, please prepare to evacuate with Chen Qingyun. The rest... Leave it to us!
Lu Li was silent. He looked at the Bug Tribe battleship.
"Let them go. I want to see them explode into pieces with my own eyes!”
The Southern Heavenly Gate Base paused for a moment.
The young man's voice became a little hoarse as he spoke again.
"As you wish!"
At this moment, the Bug Tribe battleships seemed to have sensed the danger. The Bug Tribe warriors attacking Lu Li became even more frantic.
They abandoned their mecha formation and rushed towards the Southern Heavenly Gate base. They seemed to want to learn from Lin Xiao and stop the Southern Heavenly Gate from launching an attack.
Further away, the defensive shield of the insectoid warship was deepening. It was obvious that it had detected that the attack of the Southern Heavenly Gate Base had locked onto them.
However, it was too late.
Lin Xiao's sacrifice, the first team of the Watchers rushing out of the base to meet the enemy without caring about their lives, was all for this moment!
The six space anti-matter railguns on the Southern Heavenly Gate base were all charged, and they had already locked onto two insectoid warships. The attack that had been prepared for a long time instantly erupted.
A blue light tore through the void.
The powerful energy left distorted ripples in the void. The surging energy directly blasted all the Bug Tribe soldiers in its path into dust and disappeared into the void.
The first antimatter energy cannon landed on the bug ship.
The bugship's energy shield shook violently but did not shatter. However, this was all within the Southern Heavenly Gate Base's expectations.
Immediately after, the second antimatter energy fell on the same bug ship, and in the same position.
This time, the energy shield of the bug ship shattered without any accident, exposing the hull of the bug ship to the void.
In the next second, the third antimatter energy cannon landed.
The space battlefield was once again filled with brilliant fireworks.
The second insectoid battleship was destroyed.
Right after that, the third bug ship turned into intense flames as expected and exploded into fireworks.
The six space anti-matter railguns were fired at an extremely precise time.
Three railguns locked onto a bug ship at the same time. The first two energy cannons broke the shield.
The third energy shot directly blew up the bug ship.
The bug soldiers who had lost the energy supply and the neural network connection of the bug ship could no longer move freely in space.
Large patches of them began to stiffen and stop moving.
Before all the Bug Tribe soldiers could reach the Southern Heavenly Gate Base, they froze in the air.
In the distance, in front of the intense flames from the explosion of the insectoid battleship, two lonely Mechs stood quietly.
Lu Li and Chen Qingyun looked at the Zerg battleships that had been blown into pieces. They raised their right hands toward the space where Lin Xiao had sacrificed himself.
He saluted.
"Goodbye, partner!"
"May your heroic soul return to your hometown soon."
The holographic projection gradually zoomed out.
The mechanical voice slowly sounded.
... In this battle, we wiped out the three advance ships of the Zerg and killed countless Zerg soldiers.
... The Southern Heavenly Gate base was saved, and the wormhole leading to his hometown was not discovered…We have kept the oath we made, and we have also kept the blue planet on the other side of the starry sky.
... However, we lost a comrade forever. He was a member of the first team of the Wardens…His name was Lin Xiao.
... This is our first battle. We know very well that this will definitely not be our last battle. Our battle…has just begun
... I wish the compatriots of the motherland peace and happiness, not disturbed by foreign enemies, and always accompanied by laughter and songs.
... New Year…happy
