In RX Era 2199, a certain space in the 3rd sector of the Earth's Circle is bathed in the flames of war, flashing with the light of disappearing life.

A month ago, Dr. Keanu Long, who developed "humanoid vehicle weapons" for the "Holy Roman Empire of the Universe", defected to the "Carthage" colonial satellite affiliated with the Star Alliance and received protection from the Star Alliance and other forces. The "Holy Roman Empire of the Universe" has repeatedly demanded that the Covenant and other forces return Dr. Keanu Long to them, but they have always been rejected.

In order to create pressure, the "Cosmic Holy Roman Empire" sent its main fleet to the 3rd sector where the "Carthage" colonial satellite is located. In response, the Covenant Alliance and the major forces on the earth also continuously transported space battleships to the 3rd sector. sectors.

Finally, after all the maneuvering on the diplomatic battlefield failed, war broke out.

This is the first time that a formal war has broken out in the universe. Although they have already seen what a cosmic war looks like from countless "legends": it is terrifying and will destroy civilization like a storm...

As the initiator of the war, the "Cosmic Holy Roman Empire" has only one-fifth of the number of fleets in the alliance of forces. Under the command of Lieutenant General Pyrrhus of the Covenant, the Alliance forces unfolded in a calm and fan-shaped manner, gradually putting pressure on the fleet of the "Holy Roman Empire of the Universe".

Faced with the alliance's dense ship-based laser cannons and hundreds of fighter planes shuttled across the battlefield. The "Holy Roman Empire of the Universe" has lost nearly half of its battleships, and the number of remaining fighter planes is less than 10%, so it can only retreat in embarrassment.

Faced with the current situation, Lieutenant General Pyrrhus sat in the flagship and took a satisfied sip of coffee. I believe that in a short time, these cosmic barbarians under the guise of the "Holy Roman Empire" will be wiped out, and the Covenant can be the first to reach its capital satellite "New Rome" and redraw the power map of the universe.

"Lieutenant General! Contact Brigadier General Shepard!"

"Get in!"

The image of Brigadier General Shepard, who was slightly older than Lieutenant General Pyrrhus, was projected on the secondary screen.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, the enemy has led us between two meteorite belts. Please inform all fleets to be careful!"

"I know, you can continue to command the battle!"

Lieutenant General Pyrrhus turned off the video. As a colleague for many years, he knew that Brigadier General Shepard was too cautious and hesitant before the war started. Therefore, he did not take this confession to heart. What is needed most now is to destroy the remaining enemies as quickly as possible without slowing down.

"Lieutenant General! Multiple NEU warships on the left wing are under attack!"

"Lieutenant General! The right-wing multinational fleet is under attack! Two battleships have been destroyed!"

"What!?" Lieutenant General Pyrrhus spilled the coffee on his uniform in panic, but he didn't care to deal with it. He stood up and asked the signal soldier: "Did the enemy hide their fighter planes behind the meteorite before the battle? Let all the reserve fighters come out!"

"It's not a fighter plane, Your Excellency! It's the enemy's... humanoid combat vehicle!"

Some pictures were projected on the screen. In the extremely low visibility of the universe, a series of pitch-black humanoid weapons gradually became clear, appearing on the lens like a god of death. Their attack target is the bridge of each battleship, destroying it before it can react.

"Fighter planes! Let the backup fighter planes go into battle! Bastard! Inform the commanders to prepare for flank attacks. These things are just toys and are vulnerable to attack!"

Lieutenant General Pyrrhus slammed his fist on the table. It was not that he had not been prepared for the enemy's hand, so he had many fighters prepared. But what he didn't expect was that the "Cosmic Holy Roman Empire" had developed so many humanoid weapons that only appeared in "legends".

"asshole!"

Lieutenant General Pyrrhus suddenly stood up, and he understood one thing. As the chief scientist of the "Holy Roman Empire of the Universe", it is impossible for Dr. Keanu Long to be unaware of the development progress of the "Holy Roman Empire of the Universe". This is a trap! He knew from the beginning that humanoid weapons had been put into mass production, and his defection was a conspiracy to deceive the fleets of various forces into this battlefield!

But a contemptuous smile soon appeared on his lips, and he sat down calmly. In fact, before the war, he and military experts from various countries had already studied the information on humanoid weapons, including content that Dr. Keanu Long did not explain. In the eyes of military experts from various countries, this is nothing more than a toy created by the "Holy Roman Empire of the Universe" that once again foolishly believed in the content of the "legend" and was driven by fanaticism. These children's toys will be vulnerable to missiles from fighter planes and laser cannons from warships.

"Lieutenant General! News came from the front line that our fighter planes cannot destroy humanoid weapons! 20 fighter planes have been destroyed! More than a dozen battleships have been sunk!"

"What!? Impossible...can naval guns hit those things?"

"Their reaction was too fast! Our army's radar cannot detect it!"

Before Lieutenant General Pyrrhus had time to think about countermeasures, he heard the voice of the signal corps again.

"A red high-speed humanoid weapon is approaching our ship! The speed is... 3... no, 6 times the speed of ordinary fighters!"

Lieutenant General Pyrrhus looked forward and saw that on the battlefield where lasers and explosions intersected, a red meteor was easily passing through the alliance's battleship group at an unimaginable speed, becoming increasingly clear.

"quick……"

Before Lieutenant General Pyrrhus could utter the second word, a red humanoid weapon that seemed to be burning appeared in front of the bridge. He grabbed the cannon and pulled the trigger...

On the battlefield in the third theater, the flames of war are no longer flickering.

Only the fragmented remains of the battleships on both sides and the corpses of the fallen soldiers wrapped in cold spacesuits are left here, floating like dust in the universe.

The sun's rays appeared from behind the earth, reflecting on a broken spacesuit helmet mask, and then the moon also appeared, and behind the moon, an incomplete steel planet appeared.
