The vast universe is vast and deep. In the darkness of complete silence, only the brilliance of stars flickers.

Among the bright stars, an orange-red bm-class giant star is quietly radiating light and heat in all directions.

It is a pity that in this vast universe, this star belonging to the Butterfly Cluster in the Scorpio constellation is not enough to break through the eternal darkness. Some lucky lights fall on the planets orbiting the stars, and on the gas and nebulae

The dust turns into a beautiful rosy cloud. The rest of the light that rushes towards the depths of the universe will eventually disappear in the eternal darkness.

In the year 244 of the cosmic calendar, the Augustus Empire, the largest human country in history, was formed at the beginning of the great era of cosmic colonization. Due to the separation of various domestic forces and years of civil war, it finally fell apart and was divided into Freelia, Odyssey, and Solo.

, Vilia, Saitan and many other countries that are either democratic or imperial.

After the independence of the Saitan Federation, the first president Deianira established a democratic parliament and a federal constitution. However, only two years later, the Saitan army, formed by part of the former Augustus army, launched a military coup

, Deianira was killed, and military leader Johnson usurped the throne, ascended to the throne of president, and announced the establishment of the United States of the Saitan Interstellar Federation.

After Johnson came to power, he began to frantically eliminate dissidents on the grounds of maintaining domestic security, and built prisons on various abandoned resource planets. In the same year, the seventh prison of the Setan Nation, Alcatraz Prison, was built on Basset.

Basset is the third largest planet in the bm star system of the Butterfly Cluster in Scorpius. As a resource planet in its early days, many huge mine bases were built on the planet's surface. Hundreds of years later, the mineral resources on Basset were exhausted, and mining companies gradually moved away.

, leaving only a dozen small and medium-sized interstellar cities that have been formed around the mines for many years.

Although these interstellar cities are under the administrative jurisdiction of the United States of Saitan Interstellar Federation, they are too far away from immigrant planets suitable for human habitation and have basically lost their value without exploitable resources. Therefore, the Saitan Federation only maintains a symbolic status.

Government territory management.

After the last mining companies moved away, these interstellar cities gradually turned into a paradise for interstellar wanderers, mercenaries, members of the government-in-exile, even wanted criminals, and space pirates.

Without resources, these interstellar cities can only rely on their geographical advantages to develop interstellar trade, tourism, processing and other industries. The harsh living environment forces them to excel in these industries. In order to attract interstellar tourists, these cities gradually

Many tourist attractions have been developed, and many luxury casinos and red light districts have even been secretly built.

As time goes by, a delicate balance gradually forms between the huge profits brought by the growing gambling industry, pornography industry, illegal financial debt and other underground industries on the planet Basai, and the above-ground world ruled by the Saitan Federation.

In the few years after President Johnson came to power, although the Seitan government department in Basak Singh has not relented at all in cracking down on these underground industries on the official surface, many corrupt government officials, driven by huge profits, have

She has already sunk under the bombardment of money and beautiful women.

When night falls, the interstellar city is still brightly lit and lively. The tall buildings are flashing with neon lights, and the streets are full of cars and people.

In the evening, Aucklandis, a small interstellar city adjacent to Alcatraz Prison, has just begun the climax of the day. Countless flying cars and private small aircraft are shuttled in the sky, and maglev flying roads are winding up and down like ribbons, as if

Countless giant dragons are flying and circling, tightly entwining the entire city

Come. The black giant pillars that are vaguely visible in the distance are standing up to the sky. They are the support system of the energy shield of the interstellar city. The world outside the energy shield is barren, with no grass growing, and even the atmosphere cannot meet human needs. But

The city shrouded by the entire energy shield presents a vibrant, gorgeous and flashy scene.

There is always a fine line between heaven and hell.

On June 15, 254 in the cosmic calendar, at 17:25 in the afternoon, on the outskirts of Tees City, Auckland, thirty-six mechas were running fast, the dust raised covering the sky and the sun, and the mechanical legs stepping on the ground made a huge sound.

The roar was even more deafening!

In this era, the cross-country running speed of military mechas has exceeded 200 kilometers per hour. In addition, military mechas are generally large and heavy. An ordinary light individual mecha can weigh more than 10 tons.

The heavy-duty mechas they control can weigh tens or hundreds of tons. So when a group of mechas gather together and run wild, their momentum is extremely amazing!

Mechas have long become a weapon for ground warfare in the era of space colonization.

At this moment, a fat man was sitting in the cockpit of a mecha, chewing meat pie in his mouth and skillfully controlling the mecha to fly.

The fat man's name is Tom. The strange thing is that his surname is Wang, and he is an authentic Han Chinese. As for why his father gave him such a weird name, Tom himself shook his head and said he didn't know.

The arm of the mecha driven by Tom has a striking nine-star logo painted on it, which is the team emblem of the Gloria Guerrillas.

It has been eight years since Johnson usurped the country. During these eight years, the tough tyranny implemented by Johnson, a former general of Augustus's old army, in Seitan gradually aroused the dissatisfaction of the general public, and various places called for Johnson's puppet government.

The calls for him to step down, oppose dictatorship, and restore democracy are getting louder and louder. Some followers of former President Deianira in Saitan also gathered and began to gradually establish a local resistance force. This is Gloria

Guerrillas.

However, the current strength of this guerrilla force is not enough to compete head-on with the old army led by Johnson, so they have no choice but to quietly hide on remote planets like Basset, waiting for opportunities.

Although Johnson's army also conducted numerous campaigns against the Gloria guerrillas, the size of the guerrillas continued to grow.

The armored battalion that Tom belongs to is one of the branches of the Gloria guerrillas stationed on the planet Basel. Today they received an important mission and are now on their way to their destination.

Today's trip is a hard job. This armored battalion of the guerrillas is going to attack the puppet government's Alcatraz prison head-on and rescue a scientist named Yurigin. It is said that he has very important information on him.

"Beep!" The virtual screen in Tom's mecha showed that the destination was not far ahead.

Battalion Commander Xiao Ke's voice came from the communication channel. As the battlefield commander, he ordered all guerrilla mecha warriors to check their respective mecha systems and equipment and be ready for battle at any time.

But Tom really couldn't bear to part with the meatloaf he was holding in his left hand. After taking two more bites, he quickly controlled the mecha with his right hand to speed up and catch up with the team in front.

At this time, the three-dimensional avatar of Schechter, the leader of the second platoon, appeared on the virtual screen. He roared at Tom: "Damn fat man, stop fucking eating, we are about to launch a collective charge!"

Tom chewed the food in his mouth hard, and said with a hesitant smile: "Just rush, it won't delay things if you eat and fight at the same time!"

Platoon leader Schechter was very angry at him and continued to yell: "Eating and fighting at the same time? Just brag! When we charge later, you fucking follow me! Be brave, the two of us will try to get there

At the forefront of the whole camp!"
Chapter completed!
