The muscular man's weird and angry laughter raised a lot of dissatisfaction.
The small assault starship, which belonged to the Third B Squadron of the Heaven's Origin Fleet of the Union Army, had just been put into service. The crew on the starship had been gathered recently. The Exos assigned to the starship had been summoned from various places in order to cope with the approaching war threat of the Imperium. They were not familiar with each other yet. The hideous, scarred man had always been a loner and mysterious. Many people did not know who he was.
"This guy …"
The dark gold Rising Dragon of the Nine Stars emblem on the chest of his Crystal Suit, which represented the rank of major. Nobody dared criticize him loudly, but the soldiers could not stop themselves from whispering to each other. "He is still laughing at such a moment. Is he crazy?"
"Don't piss him off. He is indeed crazy."
The veterans who knew the inside story immediately stopped the rookies from continuing their discussion. "Don't you know? He is the 'Undying Rabid Dog'!"
Their words immediately raised gasps among the soldiers. "It's — it's the rabid dog!"
The Undying Rabid Dog was one of the most famous people in the bottom-level troops of the Union Army. However, his brutality and brutality were the most intimidating kind.
He was the kind of man who took pleasure in danger and actively sought the thrill of death. In the peaceful years of the Federation ten years ago, he had been active in the underground arenas where life-and-death battles took place. While he defeated countless opponents, he also left indelible scars on himself.
Later, he found the underground arenas not exciting enough. Therefore, he wandered in the desolate lands at the edge of the cosmos, searching for demon beasts and space pirates everywhere. Hundreds of risky adventures had failed to kill him.
As the Federation explored the four new Sectors, and especially after the war against the Uranian Ring Sector broke out, the rabid dog was like a fish in water.
He joined the Union Army with his powerful armor arts and was very active in the war against the Uranian Ring Sector. More than a thousand Exos of the Uranian Ring Sector were killed by him. He was an out-and-out 'Thousand Slayers'!
Logically speaking, such a brave warrior who did not fear death should be crowned with the title of 'hero' and spread throughout the army.
But what enveloped this mad dog, other than the courage to laugh and joke with death, seemed to be an extremely strong curse.
In every battle, he would take the initiative to carry out the most dangerous mission. Every time, he would encounter the worst situation and only complete it after going through countless difficulties and dangers. Not only did he get a body full of shocking scars in exchange, his companions who carried out the mission with him often died an unnatural death.
Over a hundred missions, it was the same every time. A small team or a squadron went out together. He was clearly at the forefront, facing the fiercest artillery fire and the sharpest swords, but the end result was that the entire squadron was wiped out. Only he was like a pile of mud mixed with steel wreckage. After being dragged back and patched up, he miraculously survived!
It was as if there was some kind of extremely strong and weird power supporting him in this broken shell, allowing him to continue walking in the human world, fighting, and fighting with death!
"This guy, why can't he die?"
"But the companions who fought with him are all dead. He is an out-and-out jinx!"
"Not a jinx, but a mad dog. A mad dog who is determined to die but refuses to die no matter how hard he tries!"
Just like that, the name of the Mad Dog spread among the bottom-level members of the Union Army.
If that were all, with the military credits he had accumulated crazily, he would have been at least a colonel today, with the authority to command a legion.
But he was a man who would do anything for his training. He had purchased the forbidden drugs that the military and the government had banned through underground channels many times. He even went to the Dragon Snake Space Zone and Fish Dragon City in secret during his vacation to illegally stimulate and strengthen his body, violating the orders of the Union Army. Because of that, he had conflicts with the local gangs. It was said that he had killed hundreds of gang members on his own. Everybody in the Dragon Snake Space Zone was panicking because of that. They thought that the Federation was about to swallow the place.
Those who were familiar with the Mad Dog all knew that the reason why he went to the Dragon Snake Space Zone was that 'illegal stimulation and strengthening' was just an excuse. He was simply bored and wanted to kill or be killed!
The real Cultivators were all the firmest atheists. Therefore, the rumor of 'bane' was absolutely not valid in the official eyes. However, his repeated violations of military orders were enough to erase all his bloody military exploits one after another. He had been in the federal army for almost fifty years and had already advanced into the peak of the Core Formation Stage, but he was still just an insignificant major.
But the Mad Dog could not care less. Neither military rank nor command was what he pursued. All he wanted was to be devoted to the most dangerous battlefields, the most dangerous frontlines, and the most dangerous missions!
"No wonder we ran into the main force of the Black Wind Fleet. He was here!"
"I'm told that he is' that guy ', the one from a hundred years ago, right?"
"We are screwed this time. Ah. He — he is coming here!"
In their nervousness and panic, the soldiers did not intentionally lower their voices. Besides, even if they did, it was impossible for them to escape the Mad Dog's ears.
Carrying the dragon-slaying saber more than three meters long, he walked to the soldiers unhurriedly. With a creepy smile on his face that was full of scars and bulging muscles, he stared at everybody.
The medicine of the Federation was highly developed. Most of the scars and wounds could be repaired, or at the very least, by all kinds of plastic surgery techniques.
Although some of the valiant warriors who worshipped valiance intentionally left a few scars on their face or body on the grounds that 'scars are the medals of a man', or to commemorate a certain unforgettable battle, such as the Mad Dog, who did not put on any disguise when his face was already ruined, was definitely an anomaly among anomalies.
From this, it could be seen that the Mad Dog truly lived up to his name!
"I am a man who has been toyed with by the heavens."
The Mad Dog grinned. His voice was so hoarse that it seemed that his vocal cords had been soaked in the boiling oil of the eighteenth floor of hell. "The wretched heavens are unwilling to kill me. They want to play with me slowly and torture me bit by bit. They won't let me die so easily.
"However, you won't be as unlucky or lucky as me. You will die, and you will die a quick death.
"If you don't want to die, stay away from me after you get out of here. Don't stand in my way of dying. Do you understand?"
All the soldiers were dumbfounded. Under the oppression of the Mad Dog's strong and crazy aura, none of them could say anything.
The Mad Dog bulged his eyes and raised his voice. "Do you understand?"
The soldiers shuddered hard and hurried to nod their heads.
The Mad Dog smiled and tapped on his shoulder plate. The foldable helmet immediately rose from the gap between the shoulder plate and the back plate, completely covering his ugly head.
According to the tradition of the Union Army, the Exos had the right to paint their Crystal Suit freely as long as the emblem and the logo of the troop were not covered. Many of them would paint some personalized patterns on the helmet or the chest of the Crystal Suit, which was both a good psychological cue and a way to make the suit more intimidating.
On the Mad Dog's helmet was the pattern of a pale skull, which was a skull whose eyes were spurting out endless fury!
"Warriors of the Union Army!"
The roars of the commander of the fleet echoed around the assault deck. "In front of us is the most brutal and dreadful army in the entire universe. Behind us is our motherland, our home, and the families of our compatriots who are waiting for our triumphant return! Although the sea of stars is vast and boundless, we have nowhere to retreat to! This will be the greatest war in the history of the Xing Yao Federation. Countless history books and poems will eulogize every one of us for a thousand years! Ten thousand years! Attack! For our motherland, for our home, and for our families! Let's march forward bravely! "
Including the 'Undying Mad Dog', a large batch of Exos of the Federation jumped into the sea of stars. At this moment, the sea of stars was no longer cold and dark but had been boiled into magma by the flames of thousands of power rune arrays.
They accelerated to get away from the mothership, in case they were affected in the cruel battle between the warship cannons and the warship cannons. Tens of thousands of crystal suits formed a dense array of light spots at the front of the rectangular battle formation. At first glance, it looked like a colorful cloud.
Far away on their opposite side, another cluster of light spots that was even more intense and dazzling was rushing at them. They were their opponents, the Exos and the space shuttles of the Imperium!
There, in the tactical communication channel of the Black Wind Fleet, the voice of Heiye Ming, the commander of the fleet, was echoing in the ears of every hungry, roaring Exo of the Black Wind Fleet.
"Brave warriors of the Imperium, honorable Immortal Cultivators, loyal defenders of the civilization of mankind! Look, our enemies are waiting to die, like filthy pigs about to be slaughtered! Do you see their fear? Do you see their hesitation? Do you see their trembling? Let's go and end the lives of those wretches. Don't let them wait in extreme fear for too long. Harvest as much as you can. Slaughter as you can. Show the ants at the edge of the cosmos how magnificent the real civilization of mankind is! "
The two military formations were majestic and solemn as they slowly advanced.
Different from what many people imagined, the space battle where a thousand starships were gathered did not have dazzling tactical changes. If anything, they seemed to be sluggish, slow, and clumsy.
The existence of spiritual energy interference, spiritual shield, and force field deflection technology made the defense ability of the starships much higher than their attack ability. Or rather, the hit rate was reduced to an appalling level.
Distance, on the other hand, was the most insurmountable obstacle. In the distance of one light second, which was almost three hundred thousand kilometers, only the mystic ray weapons that were moving at the speed of light could hit the enemy instantly. The greatest shortcoming of the mystic ray weapons, on the other hand, was their low firing efficiency and long cooldown. A heavy mystic ray cannon could only keep firing for dozens of seconds before it had to stop and catch its breath for another dozens of seconds.
On the other hand, when the enormous starships were accelerated to a certain degree, it was difficult for them to perform agile maneuvers and dodging actions instantly. When the speed of light was higher than 1%, even a tiny turn could lead to serious cracks on the shell or the internal structure of the starships. Even if the starships were not torn apart, the members on the starships would not be able to bear the 'rapid turn', and their internal organs might explode.
It meant that they could either give up part of the speed and gain some agility.
Or, f * cking agility, he could just endure the enemy's inaccurate artillery fire and charge forward, forward, and forward! — —
