Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

At noon.

A "big" town of about 15 square kilometers, situated on the north bank of the confluence of the river and the sea.

The buildings in the town are no more than 20 meters tall, and they are mainly concentrated in the most prosperous areas, with a very small number. The others are mostly low houses made of wood and stone, or simple thatched houses.

And only the main roads running from north to south and from east to west are paved with stone bricks, and the rest are simple dirt roads. Farmland is scattered around the city, and many crops are already mature, just waiting for "people" to harvest them.

However, in such a town full of ancient atmosphere, there are a large number of incompatible transport boats, attack aircraft and various ground armored units moored.

It's like the future army collectively traveled to ancient times.

In fact, these "future armies" are the Taipu ground forces that have lost the support of the fleet, and the towns are also the residences of the indigenous inhabitants of the prehistoric planet, built and developed on the coast of the second continent.

At this time in the city, you can see Taipu soldiers wearing power armor, searching and suppressing them everywhere, and there are mecha units equipped with heavy firepower at relatively spacious intersections.

As for the so-called suppression...

In the literal sense, Tipu soldiers were bloody suppressing the indigenous people dressed in sackcloth and commoner with long hair.

"Da da…"

"Ah! Ah!!"

Gunshots and screams resounded through the streets.

The ground was soaked in bright red blood no different from human beings, and the corpses were gathered together and then burned.

At first, some indigenous soldiers wearing leather armor or bronze armor tried to resist, but in the face of absolute technological suppression, the indigenous soldiers had no power to fight back.

Destroy power armor and mechs with outdated bows and arrows and spears?

how can that be.

From last night to the present, the native soldiers have not even been able to hurt the Tipu side at all.

The Taipu troops who came to this town knew that they were not human opponents, so in order to prepare for a protracted war, they chose a location suitable for stationing and setting up a camp to set up a temporary base.

Unfortunately, this town is being targeted by them.

According to the original plan, the Tipu Empire originally wanted to turn this prehistoric planet into a refuge, and never thought about leaving behind the intelligent race living on this prehistoric planet.

Can't beat humans, can't they beat natives?

With this mentality in mind, the Taipu side launched the massacre they are most "good at" when dealing with vulnerable races, venting their grievances on the indigenous people.

edge of town.

Six Titanu soldiers were chasing a group of aborigines fleeing in panic.

They don't have guns, and they don't chase at a slow pace, as if they are deliberately driving residents to the intersection ahead.

The moment the terrified residents cross the street and reach the intersection...

"Tong! Tong!" Heavy artillery suddenly fired.

"Puff! Puff!" The fragile flesh and blood were blasted into pieces and pieces of meat by the large-caliber shells, and blood and internal organs flew across.

I saw a five-meter-high mecha deployed at the intersection, using parallel large-caliber cannons to shoot at unarmed residents.

In the blink of an eye, all the residents who rushed into the intersection became "a puddle" and sprinkled on the ground.

"Ah~!"

A young woman with a swaddled baby ran the slowest and was at the end of the crowd, so she survived. However, the ground covered with flesh and blood made the woman's feet slip, and she couldn't help but fell to the ground with an "ah".

But when she fell, the woman instinctively hugged the baby tightly and fell sideways.

"Boom, boom!" The mecha approached.

The six Taipu soldiers who were chasing after her had also arrived, and surrounded the woman with terrified faces, sometimes speaking their language, and sometimes making shrill, awkward "haha" laughs, as if they were discussing how to execute her Women, can only increase the fun.

The woman, on the other hand, was holding her child in her arms, struggling constantly to get up and continue running away, but her legs just refused to obey her control, trembling and trembling uncontrollably.

"Nai...Nai..."

Seeing two Tipu soldiers approaching her, the woman shook her head in despair, begging for mercy... or praying.

Suddenly, all the Taipu soldiers present stopped their banter and looked up to the west.

The woman didn't know what happened to this group of frenzied guys, she only knew to use her legs to straighten herself out, struggled to get up again, and took the opportunity to escape with the awakened and about to cry child in her arms.

But what the woman didn't know was that the mecha had already turned its gun and was about to aim at her back.

However, before the mechas could complete the lock, an aerial gunboat passed by at low altitude, and the roar of a large number of engines resounded over the entire town, allowing one assault boat after another to appear in view.

After experiencing last night, women naturally know that these "iron lumps" can fly in the sky, not only can fire "thunder" artillery, but also can "fall from heaven", unloading a large number of Taipu soldiers to slaughter the neighbors.

What confuses women is what kind of mistakes and serious crimes they have committed that will attract "God's punishment"...

"Alien miscellaneous!!!" A sudden metal battle cry stopped the woman's will from collapsing.

"Wow~! Wow!!" But the war cry scared the child who had just woken up.

"Boom!" Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of a big guy stomping on the mech and crushing it.

? ?

The sudden change caused the woman to turn her head and look back while comforting the child in her arms.

! !

Seeing this, she was stunned to refresh her understanding of the world again.

Because a recruit with a striking red and white umbrella logo printed on his left shoulder armor, equipped with a white ceramic steel armor, and holding a bolt gun in his right hand is stepping on a scrapped mecha.

Like just now, the recruit jumped from the air, using his ton-level weight and inertia, stomped on the mecha, and dark purple blood kept gushing out from the gaps in the mecha.

"Wow! Wow!"

Then, without giving any opportunity to all the Tipu soldiers present, he fired five shots and exploded the heads of five of them.

The speed was so fast that the remaining Tai Pu soldier couldn't react in time, but the recruit had already arrived in front of it, stretched out his left hand, and spread his five fingers to hold its head tightly.

a carry.

The recruits lifted the Taipu soldiers who were struggling violently without any effort.

a pinch.

"Pfft!!" Exploded.

Blood spurted directly from the cracked helmet, splashed on the ground, and also splashed on the white paint surface of the pottery steel armor.

"Hmph, trash, you only dare to bully innocent and weak trash."

The recruit said something to himself with great disdain, then flicked his left hand in disdain, and threw the limp corpse aside, then turned his head slightly, and looked at the woman who was already on the spot.

"Wow! Wow!"

"Pong! Pong!"

At this time, the sound of bolt guns was heard from all over the town, or the salvo of gunboats and attack boats attacked the ground.

At the intersection, there is a combination of Astartes and Tao Gangjia, which will make unique heavy footsteps when walking, and children who don't understand the world are crying, and...

"Nai Yi Bu Pa..." the woman's voice.

I saw the recruits walk up to the women who kept shaking their heads and saying something in their language.

Looking at the stalwart Astartes who can block the sun, the woman leaned back against the wall of the house, hugging the crying child tightly and closing her eyes to wait for death.

However, the recruit just held a bolt shell casing and waved it in front of the child.

Like trying to make a child happy? ?

"Ah~ hehe...!"

The crying child was actually coaxed by the recruit with a bullet casing. He stretched out two pink, chubby little hands and wanted to take the bullet casing with an innocent smile.

? !

The woman who had waited so long to die opened her eyes, and couldn't believe what she saw.

The previous "big guy" who killed people without blinking an eye and could squeeze his head off with one hand actually did the exact opposite of his image.

So in amazement, the woman stretched out her trembling left hand, took the heavy bullet casings and put them in her arms for her child to play with.

"Na Wu...?"

Just as she was about to say something, she saw that the recruits had already grasped their bolt guns, turned around the street corner, and continued to crush the Titan soldiers.

"..."

For some reason, when the women looked at the empty street corners, they always had the feeling that the Astartes were the real "gods descending from the earth", helping them punish the wanton Titans who killed them.

Take it easy.

The women no longer stayed where they were, but ran to the alleys with their babies in their arms to hide from the limelight, praying secretly to the godlike Astartes to keep them safe.

outside the alley.

Fourteen assault craft hovered above the town, two assault craft equipped with air-to-ground weapons, and an aerial gunboat half a circle smaller than the Vulture.

Aside from air power, there are more than a hundred Astartes recruits on the ground, either alone or in cooperation with two people walking through the streets, carrying out sweeps in a leisurely manner, killing all the Tipu people as far as they can see , And also rescued the aborigines who had encountered disasters.

On the other hand, Taipu side.

They beat up the unarmed natives, wanting to kill them all, but when they encountered humans who could not "break the defense" no matter how they fought, their first reaction was to flee, and the second choice was to beg for mercy.

But it's a pity that the recruits followed Sui Bian's order to kill them, and they didn't give the Taipu people a chance to beg for mercy.

What's more, the originally good trial of "survival in the wild" was interrupted, and many brothers were lost forever last night. These young Astartes are also holding their breath, so how could they show mercy?

And the outskirts of town.

Just as the parked armor and mech vehicles were about to be activated, they were completely destroyed by a burst of "blue light" and "silver light" spiritual impact.

Nova and Sarah wearing HES are cooperating with two teams of recruits to encircle and suppress the main force of the Taipu army.

Ghosts are good at sneak attacks and assassinations.

Even though some ghosts choose to inject a stable version of enhanced serum in order to increase efficiency, their physical fitness is still far inferior to Astartes.

After all, Astartes will inject "serum tonic" every week, which is equivalent to "drinking" enhanced serum as a drink.

But if you count spiritual power...

In a one-on-one situation, the Specter can definitely win the Astartes.

Of course, the premise is that you don't face "veterans" like Rosigold or the company champion.

It's just that this kind of one-on-one condition doesn't seem to apply to Nova and Sarah at the moment.

As soon as the battle started, it was over.

The Tipu side, which lacked psychics and heavy fire support, was completely wiped out by the company led by Nova in just half a quarter of an hour.

Immediately after the battle ended, two assault boats landed, unloaded more than a dozen armed technicians, and used alien-shaped strong acid to destroy all vehicles, guns, and corpses on the Taipu side.

During this period, the surviving aborigines hid in the dark and observed.

After finishing all the destruction, Nova led Sarah and all the crew back to the assault boat, and when it took off, the residents came to the surface one after another, kowtowing to the formation that was gradually moving away.

Among them, the young woman was also included.

inside the cabin.

"..."

Sarah, who was sitting on the left side of the cabin, fell silent looking at the scene below, not knowing how to evaluate the kneeling behavior of the aborigines.

Nova, who had finished reporting to Rogge, first gave an order to all the pilots to go to another target location, then turned off the communication, the cat got up, came to sit next to Sarah, also stretched her legs out of the cabin, bowed her head Overlook the scene below.

"Why, like the feeling of being admired and worshiped?" Nova asked until she could no longer see the town.

"No." Sarah shook her head lightly: "It's just that their actions reminded me of the miracles recorded in ancient times by human beings. Are they like us?"

"Maybe." Nova withdrew her left leg, turned her back to the cabin, looked at the confused Sarah in front of her, and said, "We have guns and cannons, and we can fly. In the eyes of low-level civilizations, we are gods."

Saying that, Nova turned her head slightly, glanced at the two Astartes teams in the cabin, then turned to Sarah again, and continued:

"Not to mention these children with terrifying heights, no matter who they are, their first impression should be gods, hehe, but...why worry about those? The company and the chairman will take care of everything, take a rest Let's go." After finishing speaking, Nova closed her eyes and meditated.

"Yes, sir." Sarah also responded lightly.

In fact, she is not entangled, but just laments the mainstream "atheism" in society, which seems to be applicable to any period and any race.

Then Sarah looked at the sparkling and tranquil sea in the distance, no longer entangled in their battle, whether it will affect the future direction of the indigenous civilization of this planet, after all, there is a company "covering the bottom line".

While admiring the scenery, they flew at low altitudes over untouched villages.

Hearing the change in the sky, many villagers looked up at the formation in astonishment, and some, like the towns, thought they had met a god and immediately bowed down. Instead, a group of children cheered and ran out of the village, chasing the formation.

Seeing this, Sarah couldn't help but smile with love, and waved her right hand to the children.

This action immediately made the boys blush, and they stood there stupidly, watching the flying formation disappear into the sky, and also attracted the accompanying girls to pinch and slap, as if they were jealous of Sarah.

After last night, most of the towns with rich resources became the targets of the Taipu troops. Only in this way were the small villages spared.

next.

Nova, Sarah, and more than 5,000 recruits followed Rogge's command and mobilization, and continued to ruthlessly slaughter the remnants of Tipu.

Intersecting with the field trials, this siege did bring a lot of practical experience, but the recruits always felt that the challenge of fighting the Titans was not as interesting as fighting the dinosaurs.

It wasn't until seven Earth Days later that the recruits' desire to fight was aroused when they learned of the arrival of all the expeditionary forces.
