Resurrection Empire
Chapter 1279 - 486: Epitaph for the Living, Written by the Doomed (Part 3)
Until the rapid rise of the Ren family group completely changed the social atmosphere of Source Star, providing opportunities for those at the bottom to rise through ability, this family with extraordinary talent for driving vehicles finally got a chance to soar.
The father of the three brothers, Mamnun Sammy, passed through numerous selections and boarded the last train of the Source Star Fleet with his family as an excellent Weilon X-type fighter pilot.
Mamnun participated in the Moral Committee trial battle that occurred within Source Star, the "rebellion war" against the Tracer Spaceship, and also participated in the Mother Empress Ship campaign. However, Mamnun was not a super-level professional within the Water Drop Ship but a Reconnaissance Ship pilot in the Third Reconnaissance Army.
When Ren Zhong personally led his team to attack the Mother Empress Ship, Mamnun, who was physiologically over forty years old, charged out from a concealed position, providing effective fire support for several super-level professionals, earning a second-class merit and being promoted to colonel.
Over the years following the fleet’s advance, Mamnun did not choose to hibernate but fought long-term on the Reconnaissance Ship, and diligently taught his three sons in his spare time, cultivating the three brothers into talents.
Two years ago, Mamnun Sammy passed away peacefully. Before he died, he said to his three sons, who were by his bedside, "If it weren’t for the Earl, I would never have had the chance to showcase my talents and would have been thrown on the surface of Source Star, like a discarded gecko tail. The Earl gave me new life, and I have fought for him all my life. I am also fortunate to have lived until now, witnessing you three grow up to become outstanding individuals. I remember when I was young, I never dreamed I could have such a happy and fortunate life. This was all granted to me by the Earl. You were born and became such excellent lads because of the opportunity he provided. Perhaps he does not even know your names, but that does not matter, nor does it mean he does not love you. He is busy and must be responsible for everyone in our civilization. He is my god and should be yours and everyone’s god. When he needs you, you must bravely board the fighter like I did and fight for him till the last moment."
After saying these words, he persisted until his three sons nodded and swore, tears streaming down their faces, before Mamnun Sammy closed his eyes contentedly.
At this moment, the three brothers awaited their chance to fulfill the vow to their father.
Ahmed Sammy, as the eldest brother, is already a major commanding an Eye Squad and a top pilot in the Third Reconnaissance Army.
Although his two younger brothers are behind him in age and experience, their absolute skills are very close.
The three brothers believe that since the military management department says this mission is so important, the Sammy family will surely shine brightly in the mission.
Their father’s god would praise the Sammy family just like he once honored Navy Chief Ding Canghai, making their originally unknown surname a symbol of glory in Source Star Society.
In Heaven, their father would surely feel proud of this.
Ahmed said to his two brothers, "When the time comes, we will surely be separated and assigned to three different ships. If this is a secret mission, private communications will surely be forbidden. But I want to say, our hearts will always be together."
Saying this, Ahmed reached out his hand; Luchade and Panxim also reached out theirs.
The hands of the three brothers clasped each other’s wrists, forming an equilateral triangle. This triangle represents an unwavering will, a ritual the three brothers have explored themselves.
Just then, the official recruitment order was issued.
The three brothers’ expressions changed.
Luchade and Panxim were unexpectedly eliminated; only Ahmed, the elder brother, was among the selected.
"This..." Luchade held his head in agony.
Panxim sighed in disappointment, "Alas..."
Ahmed was momentarily dazed, then said solemnly, "It’s okay, it’s okay. My performance on the front line will be closely related to your safety, and I will do my utmost for you. You are still with me, still my motivation. You are still playing a role."
Just then, a message arrived on the wrist watch of the three.
This order was a video message from Ren Zhong.
The projected image simultaneously rose from the wrist watches of the three brothers, and Ren Zhong’s face appeared in the air.
Ren Zhong said calmly, "This is an epitaph written for the living."
"I am happy that so many have signed up. Even though you all know that the mission is certain death, you have responded to my call."
"Though you are still alive, you are destined to sacrifice."
"On behalf of myself and everyone in the fleet, thank you for your courage and sacrifice, thank you for your generosity in facing death."
"Thank you."
