Chapter 363
In the last two hours before dawn, the last transport planes landed.
There was a slight movement among the battle group servants in rows, like arousing all attention from the silence of meditation to meet the newcomers slowly emerging from the last batch of thunder eagles.
The wounded first got out of the cabin. The astates, who were seriously injured in the soul drinker civil war, were placed on the anti gravity skid and carefully watched by the pharmacist.
Then came the honor guard, led by soshyan, whose tough and unyielding face was hidden under his helmet.
Members of the honor guard have changed the old dark purple coating to simple silver gray. The hem of the robe outside the armor is hung with the sign of the intersection of double swords, representing the holder's dedication to the regiment.
The whole honor guard, except one.
Sol, follow ten steps behind soshyan.
Like soshyan, his face was shrouded in a helmet, and his armored hands hung under his simple and concise robe.
The honor guard followed their wounded brothers, maintaining a cautious pace of respect.
The wounded slowly passed through the standing queue and were sent to the medical area.
At the other end of the landing field, a thunder Eagle also lowered the landing tail plate in the hydraulic whine.
Ruby lights poured out and cast a slender and brave figure on the scorched landing field.
Alone, the armor covered body slowly entered the raging storm night, unknown to anyone.
Returning to the monastery fortress more than a year later, soshyan sighed a lot - he can still recall the period when these open spaces were still covered by dense forests.
In the past, there were more than 20 villages and towns and settlements around the monastery fortress of the star knights for hundreds of kilometers. They supported the nearby nest with food, clothing, metal ore, machinery and all supplies.
And now all this no longer exists.
The land around the fortress peak has been leveled and transformed into a huge military baggage park. Soshyang has to work hard to recall the former positions of those villages and towns.
In addition, there are more auxiliary army training centers, barracks, armories, storage warehouses, maintenance areas
All the buildings in sight are extending in all directions. They serve the regiment wholeheartedly and provide human and material support for it in the great expedition.
Even though it was so late at night, the vast queue still didn't attract much attention in the surrounding noise - Loaders and transport planes took off and landed constantly, and frequently went back and forth between regional platforms.
From the height of the monastery, you can see a whole queue of trucks loaded with ordnance roaring along the new highway to the assembly site in the south of the fortress and the training site of the auxiliary army of the regiment.
Many of the servants of Lien Chan regiment are newly recruited.
Young men and women in brand-new military uniforms stared at the giants marching and the figure of the leading giants at the head of the team.
They walked into the depths of the monastery in the wind and rain and walked through the curtain walls covered with hard gold, protective shields and automatic weapon arrays.
As the soldiers approached, the main fortress of the monastery became taller and taller.
In the end, the astats began to move along a path that was only illuminated by artificial light balls and cut manually.
The fortress of strength and tradition stands between the rain and fog as vast as the ocean.
The granite base around it has been excavated and exposed by construction machinery. Even late at night, the excavation machinery is still racing against time to throw away the earth, melt out the path, bury the pipe, and continue to extend the fortress itself into the depths of the mountains.
Some of these projects were arranged by soshyan, such as building a series of mountain gates at the foot of the mountains to facilitate underground passage.
But some of them are not. For example, an elevator that can transport passengers to the core of the fortress in only a few seconds is added in the fortress.
Although everything is for efficiency, in his opinion, this proposal is a little too narrow.
The road leading to the gate should be the road that soldiers use double feet, and should be milled and polished by generations of soldiers thousands of years later.
The rest of the monks can take the ladder to the castle if they like, but he will never.
Every time he returned triumphantly, he wanted to walk on the path of the soldiers' feet again and again until he couldn't do it anymore.
However, he was still relieved that the construction of the fortress was still orderly when he was far away from his hometown.
At the foot of the mountain, at the end of a road separating two sentry towers, a stone statue stands on both sides, marking the starting point of the warrior road.
The stone statue's intention is also very good.
The image on the left is a great soldier holding a bomb and a chain saw sword. He is walking proudly into the world.
On the right is a wounded warrior. His armor is broken and his weapons are broken. He kneels weakly on his knees, but his head and back are raised high. He looks at the door of his house deeply in his eyes.
The beginning and end of a soldier.
As he passed the two statues, soshyan saw sol reach out and gently touch the stone statue on the right - the thoughts of the ancient soldier seemed to float to ten thousand years ago, recalling his brothers.
As they walked along the narrow and winding road, the storm had dispersed, leaving only the breeze gently pulling up their robes.
The night and thick clouds in the distance have also dispersed, and the first light of dawn has arrived.
Soon, the climb was over. Although it was very long, it was still shorter than soshyan's expectation. It seemed that he walked from the landing site to this flat and open square only an hour later.
The gate of the fortress was wide open for the return of soldiers. Soshyan saw that the courtyard in the center of the fortress was full of young servants, forming a welcoming queue between the gate and the tower outside the castle.
They apparently saw for the first time the master they were about to serve for life, and many of them were looking at him with a mixture of curiosity and surprise.
Soshyan took the soldiers quietly through the welcome queue.
As he had expected, two figures were waiting at the far end of the queue. One of them was as tough as Cangshan under the baptism of years, and the huge iron coffin was full of traces of past battles.
The other wore white armor, and his robe was decorated with silver.
Soshyan stopped in front of them, leaving a respectful distance, and astat's footsteps stopped in a thunderstorm behind him.
"Lord said, sohyan Alexei has completed his mission and wiped out the great enemies of the Empire. Now he leads all the soldiers who set out to triumph."
"Welcome home, commander sohyan war."
Friar said's speaker sounded and his voice sharpened and withered, making his tone more old-fashioned and outdated.
"But I remember that when you set out, there were only 19 soldiers, and when you returned -"
Soshyan immediately felt the tension hidden in the field, and then sol with slightly straight shoulders showed that he was aware of the same taste.
Friar said took a step forward as if he were examining the "new soldiers" in the line who had changed their painting.
"Brothers! I'd like to introduce myself. My name is SID, an old man who has lived for about seven or eight thousand years. I'm watching the destruction of the star knight and its rebirth now. No matter where you come from, I expect you to have a great performance in the battle group, and I believe you deserve this expectation! Glory is waiting for you, brothers, and you have enough Enough loyalty and reputation to win them! "
An ancient venerable, for the soul drinker, who lost the last fearless regiment 6000 years ago, is a high mountain that has to be looked up to.
If soshyan's words still make them have a little doubt, friar said's words really make them convinced.
"Yes!"
The former soul drinkers roared and answered.
"That's it."
Said with satisfaction:
"But time waits, and there are still many tasks to be completed. The Empire still has many great enemies to destroy. The Empire needs you, and we also need you. From today on, you will accept a completely different test from the past!"
The challenge of the divine fearlessness to the new entrants changed the atmosphere in the courtyard in one fell swoop, and even soshyan was infected by the faith in the SID voice.
"But now, I just want to say a word to you."
Friar said raised his arm.
"Welcome home."
