"Did they really think these so-called 'victories' could cover up the truth?" Leo muttered to himself, seeing through the exaggerated language and photos to the slightest hint of reality.
For example, a report mentioned that only ten soldiers were killed or injured in a battle by the Interstellar Federation, but from another source, he saw that over a hundred soldiers had actually lost their lives. The photos of the war zone in the report had also been clearly doctored to minimize the visibility of destruction and chaos.
"It seems that the actual situation of this war is much worse than they have let us see," Leo felt a heavy heart.
He put down the electronic tablet in his hand and gazed again at the gradually enlarging Four Minnow Star outside the window. From the height approaching orbit, he finally saw the true face of that planet.
The red soil, pervasive dust, and orange sky all indicate an extreme and dangerous environment. This planet looks like a vast, scorching desert, completely unsuitable for human habitation. However, this is precisely the kind of environment that the Xyphos species thrives in, and it is also a strategically important location that the Interstellar Federation is attempting to control.
"Breathing apparatus, protective suit, firepower..." Leo silently runs through the various equipment he will need upon landing. He knows that in such an uncertain and perilous planet, even the slightest oversight could lead to irreparable consequences.
He stood up again, took a deep breath, and gazed one last time at the distant red planet. Whatever happens next, he is ready to give it his all.
"I hope this time we can achieve a real victory, not just empty words on a report," Leo thought to himself, then turned and left the observation room, heading towards the equipment storage on the ship to make final preparations for the upcoming mission.
Leo stood in the center of his personal equipment room, inspecting his energy gun, anti-gravity backpack, and custom tactical armor with focused eyes. He meticulously checked each joint, each electronic component, ensuring they were all functioning properly. In that moment, he felt a slight calmness, as if these equipment were his only certainty in this chaotic universe.
Suddenly, the emergency alarm of the entire ship sounded, as if a sharp knife had pierced through his inner calm. The deafening alert echoed in every corner, every corridor.
"All hands attention, all hands attention. We are about to enter the atmosphere of Four Minnow Star. Intelligence indicates a large number of Insect tribe anti-aircraft guns on this planet. All ships will enter attack mode. Please prepare for combat and brace for impact."
The voice came from Captain, his voice transmitted through the ship's internal broadcast system, carrying an unmistakable sense of authority and urgency. Leo felt a tense atmosphere as if frozen in the air. He knew this was a serious test about to unfold.
The ship's protective shield system is immediately activated. A faint blue halo begins to slowly form, surrounding the entire outer hull. This shield not only withstands attacks from the outside, but also provides additional energy supply in emergency situations. At the same time, various types of cannons, missile launchers, and high-energy beam cannons on the ship are unlocked and activated, as if a dormant hunter is gathering all its strength, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at a critical moment.
Leo quickly runs back to his room, closes the doors and windows, and then sits down, securing himself in the shock-absorbing seat. This seat is designed very scientifically to effectively reduce bodily harm from impacts and vibrations.
His heart rate rapidly increased, and cold sweat unconsciously seeped from his forehead. The complex emotions - unease, anxiety, but also a hint of excitement - seemed to rise with the rhythm of the alert sound inside the ship.
"Anti-aircraft type Insect tribe, anti-aircraft type Insect tribe..." Leo repeated this term in his mind. He still remembered from the tactical course at the Star Alliance Military Academy that the instructors had mentioned these Insect tribe as extremely deadly enemies. Once they locked onto a target, there was almost no chance of escape.
"Are we really ready to face this situation?" Leo couldn't help but question himself. This mission seemed more dangerous to him than anything he had experienced before. He recalled the training at the Star Alliance Military Academy, where they only dealt with simulated enemies, but now it was real combat.
Leo took a deep breath and thought to himself, "Now is not the time to doubt myself. I must give it my all, not only to complete the mission, but also for my own future and dignity." He tightly gripped the control stick, trying to steady his emotions.
At that moment, the ship began to tremble subtly, like a beast about to touch the ground. The entire hull vibrated as if issuing a warning to the outside world. Looking out the window, the red soil of Four Minnow Star and the swirling dust gradually approached, like a rapidly approaching doomsday scene.
Suddenly, a strong white light swept across the hull, the Xyphos anti-aircraft guns were attacking them. The shields immediately activated, with flashes of white light showing the shields resisting the external attack.
"Everyone, prepare for impact! We are about to descend through the atmosphere and land on the surface of Four Minnow Star!" The voice of the Captain came through the ship's broadcast system, serious and tense.
Leo immediately gripped the armrest of his chair, his muscles tensing with nervousness. He knew the danger of this mission and understood that once they successfully descended, a life-or-death battle awaited them.
"In order to survive, I am willing to pay any price." Leo silently vowed in his heart, with every cell in his body preparing for the upcoming battle.
