Captain wakes up 100,000 year later

Astronautics 42. Earth Time AM 8: 59

Solar system asteroid belt

Joint funeral home of Solar System Fleet flagship Tyrant.

Across the asteroid belt, the 8th Solar System Fleet launched a thrombus with the alien army. To fight an alien fleet advancing towards Earth in many ways, the fleet has rolled the battleship to the end of its lifespan.

But the long struggle and the intersection of strategy. Finally, the inability to completely decontaminate the asteroid belt and disinfect the un-syndicated zone was successfully destroyed, leading to a declaration of victory and its subsequent funeral.

The funeral is installed inside the flagship. Traditionally, the space field is so dark that the floor is invisible. It's made of a meta material that absorbs all the light and is the darkest floor in the universe.

On the other hand, the sky at the funeral site is shining. A giant hologram-shaped galaxy stretches across the sky for light.

The gate opens. As the Flagged Soldiers come forward, all the men march into the front row in conquest. After that, the war reporters and authorized civilians will follow.

Let's hope they're all standing in a deep silence, where there's no breath. Finally, the inner door opens.

Officers clothed with conquest stoop to a halt, carrying a coffin wrapped in the United Nations. Without any music, all there is is is deep silence.

The officers on the plot pay their respects to the order. Then reach out and take the coffin from your hand. The soldiers who gave the coffin salute as the coffin progresses, then turn around and go back.

Like this, the tube comes in turn and fills slowly from the end of this wide space. At last, the officers who lowered their coffins slowly salute and turn to the spirit. No one stops saluting around a coffin filled with this black space.

Non-officers civilians, especially war reporters, put their hands on their hearts and pay attention. Some journalists were crying.

As the white tubes slowly fill this dark space, the sound of flow becomes deeper and darker. Once the coffin is placed, the last of the Warlord's generals will come and look at the coffin and draw the sign. Each coffin is engraved with a religion they believe in, so the war chief also varies for each religion.

The process of filling all tubes is too slow and solemn. It's like I'm about to carve this whole view into my brain. But as time passed, the coffin finally filled this place. The soldiers stopped saluting. They lower their arms and turn forward to get into position.

Captain coming up on the platform. The eyes of the people are on the captain. Long-standing frontal gridlock caused the face to become superficial and the parietal bones to become superficial. Even the captain on the last battlefield had to fight directly against the alien contamination sheaves that were directly against Tyrant.

Even the wounds where the treatment kit didn't work were sustained by two armies. However, his eyes were still alive and burning like fire, and his voice touched many people's sadness deeply and deeply.

He began the joint funeral speech.

“We won. So, survivors. Keep this in mind. We will remember this day in a peaceful place someday. Your tears will be wiped from the hands of the loved ones we have saved. Again, we won. ”

A quick round of applause.

“So when the day comes, remember this: This moment is precious not because we won, but because they sacrificed for us and for humanity.

In the Bible it is written: ‘If a man gives his life for his friend's sake, there can be no greater love than this.’ They gave their lives for us, for the love of humanity. They were willing to shed their blood so that we could have eternal freedom and love.

So even if we are defeated today, this sacrifice is noble. And even if we lie down for them, this sacrifice will never change. Even if our bodies are consumed by monsters in the bellies of our enemies without being repaired.

Because our dignity is not in the power to defeat all enemies, but in the freedom of those we love. ”

Applause is raised.

“This is why we are different from those monsters, why you can weep here, why you can't weep, and why you can be grateful for the love of those who died for us. We will never forget those who died to give us freedom. And from me, all our officers have been eager to die for your freedom.

Today's battle is over. But ladies and gentlemen, there are many more wars to come. Look at that white coffin. And if there's any room left, and for the sake of the others we love, let's hope that it's mine first.

God bless the union of the earth and humanity. ”

The sound of the officers applauding is not to the captain, but to the dead. A red flaming hologram blooms over the white marble coffin they look at together.

Most of the tube is empty. Most of the bodies were either lost or not found.

Some of the barely recovered bodies are on fire. We can't just toss it out into space like in a movie. Enemies are monsters that swallow all organic matter. The dead must now be drenched in eternal peace.

The wind is strong and the smell of winter is intense. The high altitude unmanned aerial vehicles were still flying in the sky in Illuvelas today. The view of Illuvelas is presented on the thick, transparent lens of the machine.

According to the high-altitude drones, if you look down from the sky, Illuvelas was only alive in two places. Everywhere else is as quiet as being killed by a brutal winter.

One was Metropolis, the newly built giant of the subtle lemon glow. The dome-shaped building, which could be inhabited by 100,000 people, was made of beautiful curved design walls and glass ceilings that were safe from spills of volcanic gas.

On top of that is the glorious golden captain's castle, standing as stiff as a spire in several defensive towers. For now, this was the only facility to prove that the star was part of the Earth's coalition. Students are seen taking a yellow shuttle bus to the Castle of Illuvelas, or returning to a nearby village.

The other is the original capital of the Illuvelas Province. The Castle of Illuvelas. A change bag dispatched from the capital of Arubis holds the entire territory in its grip. The city was under the control of a greedy monarch who had not even sent taxes because he was returning thoroughly to the municipality.

Despite the political and military pressure of the empire, the old shameful abandonment of development itself remains within its walls. Nevertheless, white snowed walls have kept the empire from entering the north for many years.

At the time of the invasion of the former Empire. The captain summoned the entire population of Illuvelas to the castle with the name of providing groceries and an evacuation order. Two more families came to live in the house where one family lived. Normally, there would be an end to starving all without food.

However, thanks to the massive supply of synthetic meat, the living spaces were at least inhabited by people, and as if they were spraying disinfectant drugs throughout the area, they also prevented the risk of the epidemic.

Nevertheless, when you look down from the sky, people are still packed in every street. Refugee tents produced in a hurry because they didn't even get more houses. With a simple concrete construction technique, everyone was sticking together to build an apartment.

“Is this properly mixed? ”

“I called the wizards. You must have done well.”

The sound of people is caught on the sensor. The thermal imaging camera briefly analyzes the hot, magical concrete and turns its gaze. It was not possible to build a tall building that needed to be built from Illuvelas to the ground floor immediately, and Tyrant and the central production facility were working very hard to produce the main parts of the fleet, so it was purely human labour that made the three-story houses look like a pile of bamboo shoots.

Looking down from above, the colors of the old pale Illuvelas and the immensely expanding Illuvelas were completely contrasted.

“Dig the waterways! Stir the rod properly so that it doesn't get clogged. ”

Of course, there was no rinsing facility to get poop from, so people and androids dug a path together and made water flow in every corner of the castle. When the motor fiercely lifts the groundwater and pours it out like a waterfall from the highest part of the castle, it winds up the entire castle and makes the filth and impurities go out into the distance. Now the waterfall from the castle has become spectacular and a place for the villagers to pray.

High altitude unmanned vehicles again take up positions and begin patrols along designated routes. I've scoured this metropolitan area once, so I should take another look at this cold, frozen wasteland like dead land.

As the sensor sweeps through the floor, a strange anomaly is detected. According to the database, 'The dead who received the moonlight of Iriya, filled with grudges,' were ghouls that changed.

“Tsk, tsk. ”

“Shhh · ·..”

The sensors pick up the sounds they make. It was repeating utterly meaningless sounds that contradicted many possibilities but had no concept. Eyeballs pierced by rotten, rotten bodies. Walking erratically.

“It's always sad that a man loses his human form. ”

The captain sits there watching a high-altitude aerial transmission.

I was holding my hands together, and my face was tense, and I felt like I was taking on something beyond measure.

“Make yourself comfortable. ”

Bang, bang! Bang!

Multiple long-range sniper bombs have been fired from high-altitude UAVs. The bullets that freely changed the flying trajectory flew through the heads of the ghouls. I did not do as much damage to my head as I could with a low resistance bullet. Immediately, the brain-damaged ghouls fell to the ground.

“Reminds me of a painful memory. What grudge do you have against the goddess who lives on that moon, raising a corpse? ”

“Captain, there is no grudge against the moon. She just wants to remember. Everything that happens on this earth. ”

Krasus flew onto the terrace and became a man, responding to the captain. He shrugs his cape, his eyes piled on his shoulders. Silver dragons naturally joined the table.

“What does memory have to do with ghouls? ”

“I don't know. But that's what they say about her cult. Ask him yourself later. ”

Crassus smiles and eats a bite of cold soup. The captain gestured and let me bring you some new food. I could not fathom the dragon ship, at least five meals were prepared, and Krasus did not refuse and ate all the food he came out of. The captain looks at the well-fed Krasus.

“Did you hear the story? ”

“Yes. I heard there's going to be a convention soon. I'm thrilled to be able to escape the surface of this planet and return to the world of dragons. A lot of batteries are waiting for me. I will never look down on those who have wronged the dragon's honor. ”

White vapors gush from Krasus' mouth.
