It's dawn.

The morning sunlight shone again on the land of Tasanis through the thick clouds and the thick smoke of war, on the site where humans first landed - the Sarengo Grand Canyon, which has remained unchanged in ancient times, just like when humans came to this land, like when humans did not exist on this land, like when humans no longer existed on this land many years later...

The light curtain expanded and extended on the earth. With the advancement of this light curtain, the shadows of the insect swarm faded away like a tide. Human soldiers advanced artillery fire and front lines, passed through the ruined cities, crossed the weapons burning into scrap iron, waded through the blood of their compatriots flowing on the ground, and drove away the terrifying tear and whirling away the terrifying whirlwind.

Cheers erupted from the surviving crowd, the sound of opening the bottle and the roar of gunfire to the sky, but soon, these strong but sudden cheers returned to silence--no music, the cheers stopped, and the precious wine in the opened bottle dripped weakly on the ground under the pull of gravity, mixing with the mud and blood on the ground, emitting a strange smell.

Jim walked through such a strange mud pit wearing CMC power armor, through the people and soldiers who began to cry for their dead compatriots and their lost homes, and walked to a small high ground where flames were sprayed in special armored fire bats, completely burning the bodies to ashes, and then these ashes would be loaded into various containers that people could find at hand.

Some containers will be handed over to the waiting family members, but more of them are lonely and unclaimed in the morning breeze and then scattered into the wind--this is the resting ceremony of the dead. According to the information sent by Lehman, the infection of the Zerg is quite dangerous, and all corpses killed by the swarm must be completely burned by high-temperature flames.

If it were in normal times, this would be a subject of protest, but now the dignity of the deceased is no longer a matter of consideration, because everyone has seen how terrible it is to infect the swarm, so when Jim ordered the burning of the corpse, no one said anything--the dignity of the deceased appears much smaller in the face of the struggle of the living.

People automatically made way for Jim. Just now, Jim Renault, as the front commander-in-chief of the ground forces, was already well-known. People were only grateful and respect for this warrior covered in ashes and blood. Jim slowly stepped forward in this respect, walked to the place where the ashes were placed, drilled out of the power armor, grabbed an ammunition box filled with urns with his hands, and raised it to the rising sun with trembling.

In the direction of the rising sun, in the already dim starry sky, on the bridge of the flagship Huberian of Khas, Akturas Minsk raised his hand like Jim Renault, with wine like blood in his hand. He paused for a moment and said to the radio communication that had been connected to every corner of the Khas star area:

"My fellow humans, when I speak to you now, in order to let you understand the current form, each of us should be aware of the crisis we face. Just as we fight each other and fight with fellow citizens of the same clan for some minor disputes, a greater threat has come to our doorstep! This threat is threatening to destroy all our achievements!"

Hearing the speech of Akturas Minsk, Jim Renault showed a slight smile on his lips. He nodded to Kerrigan and Tex who were leaning up, indicating that when he was fine, Minsk had already continued to speak:

"It's time, it's time to let go of these trivial differences, and it's time to unite, because an arduous war is imminent, and we must fight back, otherwise we will be completely annihilated by the flood of war!!!"

"The decaying and old Federation is no longer there, and the phantom of protection and unity created by the Federation has disappeared! What should we do?! The power of the alien invaders we face is unquestionable. We have seen our family and friends disappear under the terrifying alien attack with our own eyes. This is an enemy that we could not imagine before, and this unimaginable enemy is a signal!"

"The signal of unity, my fellow humans, unite, unity is strength!!! Let us all unite and form an indivisible force!!! From now on, let mankind no longer have civil wars, and declare to all the enemies of mankind----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jim Renault quietly turned off the radio, walked up to the height of the mound, turned around and looked at the people who had become more determined because of Arturas' speech, and then reached out to stop a Marine next to him who tried to take the ammunition box containing the ashes in his hand to sprinkle the ashes.

Under Tex's heavy gaze, Jim gently opened the ammunition box, gently dipped it in a little ashes with his fingers, and put it into his mouth in full view. A bitter smell spread in his mouth, as if the ashes felt the last moment of his lifetime. Jim felt his nose sore.

He grabbed a handful of ashes and was about to spread it into the morning breeze, but the moment before waving his hand, he saw the crowd gathering under the mound. His waving arm suddenly stopped. Looking at the piles of ashes, he suddenly stopped. Then he slowly inserted two fingers into the ashes, cut out a smear of ashes, slowly smeared on his forehead full of blood and sweat, and then grabbed more ashes and smeared on his face. Finally, when a group of people were shocked by his actions, Jim put down the ammunition box that acted as an urn and said loudly to the people under the mound:

"I will not scatter their ashes on this earth, I will not trample on these ashes, I will not build new buildings on these ashes, they are our brothers, our sisters, our blood, our flesh.... The fellows who have sacrificed for us... No, I will take them to fight..."

"Because my battle is far from over, our world is being besieged, we are fighting among the stars for our own survival, you have seen it yourself, those bugs that want to tear us apart, and our power is out of reach!"

"These bugs want to sentence us to death, without probation, without compassion, without appeal!!!"

"This is our darkest moment, the universe itself awakens these bugs from the darkest places to devour us, our home is burning, and we are the last shield to stop it all!!! No, our battle is far from over!!!"

"Survival through battle and sacrifice for the future. I will not scatter the ashes of these compatriots to the ruthless earth. I will continue to fight with them, continue to fight with them in the morning breeze, continue to fight with stars, fight on the vast earth, and continue to fight among the dark stars!!!"

"Until one day, one day in the future, I can proudly speak out the stars of humanity and our mountains and rivers are already safe, I will stop fighting and take these dead compatriots to rest in peace!!!"

"At that time, on this tower," said a woman who had been crying under the mound, and reached out and put her hand on the back of Jim's hand, tremblingly, "All the lights will be lit for you, we will fight behind you, waiting for you to come back and say to us-----We are back, the mountains and rivers are safe."

After saying that, the woman inserted her hand into the ashes, took a little bit, put it in her mouth and ate it.

Sarah Carrigan reached out his hand, and the ghost dug out a little ashes and gently stroked a piece of blood stained by his Canister rifle, leaving a white mark.

Brandon Needingal walked over with his chest that was still in severe pain, grabbed a handful of ashes and placed them near his mouth and nose, and sucked them violently.

Tex Finley walked over, first touching a little ashes and making a white mark on his forehead, then grabbed a handful of ashes and outlined a white skeleton on his armor. The legendary villain turned around and faced the crowd below, loudly shouting:

"I am not as good as my brother, but I know that if I am thirsty, shouldn't I drink water?! If I am hungry, shouldn't I eat?! Then.............. If you kill my relatives and burn my house, shouldn't I pick up the guys to take revenge?! Fight!!! Fight against those alien bastards who want our lives!!!!"

Jim grabbed Tex's hand with one hand and raised his weapon with the other and roared:

"Fight!!! Survive with battle!!! Fight!!! Humanity, glory lasts forever!!!!"

In the morning breeze of Tasanis, thousands of hands stained with smoke and blood were holding guns and raising them to the sky, and the human roar was straight up to the sky:

"Human glory lasts forever!!!!!!"
