Chapter 247 Marching (4)

"I am going to die," he said.

"There will be the best and most loyal warriors of the empire. According to the data calculated by the Black Shark Base, 200,000 people can ensure a certain blow to the crystal nest, and at the same time the empire can withstand losses without collapsing."

"Do not."

Lin Ge's face was tense, she glared at the emperor in front of her, "This won't work, Kaios."

Beside her, Chen Hank's face was ashen: "Your Majesty, please think again. Even if you really need soldiers to die, please allow the minister to lead the army!"

A thin light wandered on the glass of the council hall, outlining the profound facial features of the founding emperor.

Lean sat on the throne, and smiled easily, his emerald green eyes contained a light like a cold knife: "Listen to me."

"The fleet will take the crystal nest as the final target coordinate. But with the current technology of human beings, it should be very difficult to really break into the crystal nest... Wherever you can go, you can count."

"The Black Shark Base will inherit the research results of the Grey Owl Laboratory, and develop several new concept weapons for Crystal Nest based on tranquilizers and curing rays. The fleet will be equipped with these weapons and transmit feedback data to the Empire."

"After the weapons are exhausted, these 200,000 people will not return. According to the existing information, the crystal particles have obvious self-consciousness. Since this consciousness can interfere with humans, it can naturally be interfered by humans."

Having said this, Lean paused and pointed to himself: "Actually, this is the reason why I was born in the world back then."

"Therefore, there is every reason to believe that when the heroic soul of the empire is buried in the crystal nest, the human will itself will become the last bullet fired at the enemy."

"—Kaios!"

Lin Ge raised her voice, thin beads of sweat on her forehead, "You calm down first... I know the situation is bad, yes, the situation is fucking rotten! But we can still think of other ways, at least Wait another year or two?"

"That's the way."

Ryan stood up, the scarlet robe dragged to the ground and slid, and finally stopped at the feet of the two, "I can't wait any better."

Chen blocked the front of the emperor: "Your Majesty, if you leave like this, the empire will inevitably be in chaos; if two hundred thousand elites are damaged, the military's talent pool will also have a fault that cannot be healed, and it will only become more and more difficult in the future—"

Ryan narrowed his eyes: "Yeah, that's what you have to worry about, otherwise what's the use of confessing so much to you today?"

List:"……"

Lin Ge: "..."

Suddenly, the door of the council hall was pushed open, and Sylph's hair was messy, "Your Majesty!"

The atmosphere inside was solidifying, and Chen Hank turned his head: "Your Majesty the Queen?"

Sylph ran all the way in a hurry, at this time, her hands were on her knees, and she spoke with a gasping voice, "You...you can't go in person, you are Kaios, 000 from the Grey Owl Laboratory, and you have a human body on your body. Hope... if His Majesty is gone, we will have no chance of turning around!"

She hurriedly walked towards Ryan, her eyes pleading: "Give the Black Shark Base a little more time, and we will be able to complete the mental awareness projection technology. If the Matrix plan can be successfully implemented, there is no need for everyone to die!"

Hiss... Chen Hank breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his voice in surprise and asked Lin Ge, "Is Her Majesty the Queen from the Black Shark Base?"

Lin Ge gritted his teeth gloomily and said, "Not only that, she is the leader of the base."

"...Close the door first."

Ryan glanced back at Sylph, "Now the frontline needs more hope than the laboratory, not to mention, isn't the data of 000 in your hands?"

Sylph closed the door behind her with a bang, she walked over to Lin Ge and stared at the emperor: "What about the commander, what about the commander!?"

Chen Hank's eyelids twitched - why is there a commander here again! ?

Lin Ge had a headache: "Old Chentou, the whole story here is a bit complicated, but it doesn't really matter now, Kaios!"

She raised her face and looked at the emperor: "Sylph is right, Kaios, have you forgotten?"

"You promised him back then that you would be by his side when he wakes up."

"rest assured."

Ryan didn't change his face: "Of course I will take him with me."

...

In the 12th year of the new emperor's calendar, Kaios the Great launched the fifth sacred battle.

He left behind the concept of the White Bird Plan, and entrusted the funeral to Lin Ge, Chen, and Sylph, while he personally led the fleet to set sail.

Soldiers secretly signed consent forms and wrote their last words. They came from the Golden Sun Wheel, from the Yin Beidou, and even from the ordinary army of the empire that did not belong to the two major legions, and finally gathered 200,000 people.

"Don't go."

On the eve of his departure, Lin Ge stood at the highest point of the palace and confronted Kaios.

This ruffian woman who has never been afraid of the sky and the earth trembled, her eyes were red, "Don't go, little bastard, if you go, the empire that Daoen is thinking of will be destroyed."

"Just me, don't you know me yet? I'm just a wild pariah with no father, mother and no culture. How can I be an emperor? Think about it again, I beg you to think about it again-"

The dark night sky enveloped them, Kaios' face was as cold as iron, he strode past Lin Ge, and whispered in the moment when he passed by:

"I'll leave it to you, sister."

Lin Ge opened his eyes in a daze, and suddenly a cool thing was stuffed into his palm. Looking down, it was actually Jin Xiaozhi's mecha bracelet.

She doubted her eyes and ears, but heard Ryan laugh happily from behind, like a child who had completed a prank.

She turned her head against the wind and watched Ryan walk down the long steps of the palace with a smile, and her back disappeared.

Until the end, the emperor did not look back, just like the troops he personally led.

Starships are far away from the Empire and farewell to the homeland of mankind.

When flying over the Alpha star field, Ryan confessed the truth of the mission to the entire army, and simply confessed the secrets about Dawn Aslan.

In the projection, the emperor stroked the corner of the frozen dormant warehouse with one hand.

He stared at Jiang Jianming's face for a long time, then raised his stern eyebrows, and looked at the soldiers who were about to die.

"Even if it is difficult to bury the bones in the homeland, the heaven and the universe can be buried... I see the heroic soul flying to the sea of ​​​​stars, and it should be like a white bird returning to its nest."

"I and the commander-in-chief are buried together with all the monarchs, and I will not wrong you."

That night, don't know how many soldiers were horrified and speechless, and didn't know how many soldiers were grief-stricken.

"Your Majesty!" Even some people couldn't help crying, "Please, Your Majesty, return to your country, and bring your commander back... We promise to complete the mission, why should Your Majesty go to death in person!"

Ryan ignored the cries. He knew that if he didn't have his own strength, the fleet might not be able to touch the edge of the crystal nest at all.

And he also has an idea: since he is Kaios, perhaps facing the source consciousness of crystal particles can also play a greater suppressive effect. Anyway, it's worth a try.

In the last time, all that was left was the tragic blood.

Crystal Nest seems to realize that the comers are not good. Whether it is the density of alien creatures, or the chaos of crystal particles, they are more than doubled compared to the fourth sacred battle.

The Imperial Army kept fighting and reducing its numbers.

"Report, there is a large group of alien creatures ahead!"

"Okay, the whole ship is ready to meet the enemy and start collecting data."

"The vanguard fires—"

The closer to the crystal nest, the more alien creatures become like "creatures", they have been completely parasitized by crystal particles, and even their minds have been swallowed.

Humanity has never faced such an adversary before, and every step forward is on the road of piles of bones and souls.

"Go ahead, go full speed ahead! Fast fast fast fast."

"Rush over!!"

I don't know who will die tomorrow, whether it's a close comrade-in-arms, a beloved officer, or myself.

But sooner or later, they will all die in the end, and no one is destined to see the victory, because it is the invitation of the god of death to go.

"Sir, the East Sun is still trapped by alien creatures..."

"Can't handle it anymore, let's go!"

In front of the podium, as soon as the commander's voice fell, he saw a bright light on the screen. Obliquely behind them, the Tosuri activated its self-destruct system.

The starship exploded, and the flames engulfed the twisted and deformed alien creatures, as well as the nearly 1,000 soldiers who were still fighting on the Tori.

"Report!"

A projection of a young soldier appeared on the screen, "Your Highness, Major General Xie!"

"Huh?" In the command room, Xie Yuduo, who was sitting on the command seat, raised his head and lifted his phoenix eyes.

At the same time, Crown Prince Le'an also came from the other side and stood behind Xie Yuduo: "Speak."

"The vanguard has been captured...you have a look."

The screen flickered, reflecting the metal garbage floating in the universe.

It was distorted, ugly, and riddled with holes, but a scan of the reconstructed lens revealed that an area had once been engraved with a military insignia that looked like a blazing sun and a shield.

"..."

Xie Yuduo stared at the scorched black and deformed metal garbage, and after a while, the always bohemian major general took off his military cap.

He whispered: "Give the whole army a look. The wreckage of the starship of the Jin Rilun should be more than 50 years ago."

Ryan: "That was the 12th year of the new emperor's calendar, when the first white bird expedition... tsk, what did you see me doing? I don't remember now."

Xie Yuduo looked complicated: "But you are still here now."

To this day, he already knew all the causes and consequences, including why the crown prince could turn into a crystal monster, and why the little lord could activate the authority of the commander of Aslan on that day.

Major General Xie paused and murmured in a low voice, "Before, you have already died twice in Crystal Nest."

Ryan didn't care: "It's only once. The original body is not dead, so it can't be considered a death."

Xie Yuduo: "At that time, the emperor and the commander... er, it was you and the little lord... What happened in the end?"

"The two of you really went to the crystal nest? How did the base project for you? Has the leader told you about these details?"

"That's not true," Ryan said thoughtfully, "but to this day, I can guess about it."

boom……!

When the starship landed, or in other words fell into the crystal nest, there was not much left of the 200,000 golden sun wheel.

The weapon was empty, and people died in seven or eighty-eight ways. The starship was affected by too many crystal particles and could no longer fly. Even the advanced mecha did not have much energy left.

The boundless crystal nest land stretches in front of you, snow-white and snow-white, like a faded alien space.

The crystal particles are rioting, and the crystal nest consciousness is screaming. The invisible giant waves were overwhelming, engulfing the ant-like human beings.

"what……!"

Countless imperial soldiers would die the moment they stepped on the ground, and countless people vomited blood and fell to the ground.

boom! boom! Many people shot themselves in the temple on the spot to avoid crystal chaos.

They fell, and their compatriots stepped over the corpse.

The emperor finally ordered the whole army to move in the direction of denser crystal particles.

Go forward, take one step forward if you can. The closer you die to the nucleus of the crystal nest, the greater the impact of human will may be, even if it is only a little bigger.

Ryan himself, on the other hand, hugged his lover from the dormant warehouse.

Whoops... The sleeping black-haired residual crystal man was fished out of the dormant liquid, and the snow-white crystal nest ground reflected every drop of water, making him look like the legendary mermaid.

Jiang Jianming's appearance is still the same as before, and now, he is younger than his majesty.

He first lay softly in His Majesty's arms, was flipped, and rested his head on His Majesty's shoulders, moistening a few strands of beautiful platinum curly hair.

"We're here." Ryan said in a low voice, "Jiang, did you see it... This is a place that starships can't reach. I brought you here."

This was something he had promised Jiang, no matter life or death, he would be by his side, in his arms.

Ryan stretched out the last crystal bone, and the red-gold iron wings with a length of tens of meters spread out behind him in an instant, and then bent in front of him, protecting the sleeping crippled human being in his arms.

He moved forward, in the direction of death.

Behind him, the soldiers of the Empire followed with difficulty.

Gradually, one soldier after another fell, and the one who fell could never get up again. The crystals wriggled out, engulfing the body of the deceased, and dragging it into the snow-white depths.

I don't know how long it took, but the followers behind the Great Emperor became less and less, and the last one was gone.

On the vast white crystal ground, he was the only one left, walking as a small black dot.

The crystal dissimilation on Ryan's body became more and more serious, his cheeks were covered with crystals, and his emerald eyes were full of pain. The crystal bone is no longer stern and mighty, but gradually develops into a distorted and chaotic appearance.

Even so, the crystal bone that was about to collapse was still tightly clasped in front of him, preventing the sleepy Jiang Jianming from being disturbed by the crystal particles.

The so-called crystal nest mother nucleus, but still do not know where, still do not know how far.

I don't know how long it took.

Ryan's human structure begins to crumble again, and it becomes a monster.

And on the pale and thin face of the disabled human being in the monster's arms, the first crystal finally appeared.

The monster suddenly let out a shrill and angry roar!

It is exhausted, its life is almost exhausted, it can no longer protect its lover.

But at this time, it suddenly became frightened: ah, will Jiang still feel the pain, and will the crystal particles still torture him mentally?

But it once told Jiang that it would not hurt when he fell asleep. That person has endured too much pain, and should no longer be devastated by despicable enemies.

What to do, what to do.

Then, can you cut my chest open, or cut my belly open?

The skin is torn, the flesh is split, the bones are broken, and the innards are ground into a slurry.

Open me up and put you in me, okay?

Suddenly, the monster let out an inhuman scream, and it suddenly opened a huge hole in the line from its chest to its belly. The blood was pouring down like a torrential rain, gushing up the sky and spilling back to the ground.

Its skin ripped open, its flesh cracked, its bones screeched overwhelmed before they shattered, and its innards melted into slushy blood.

The monster felt a lot of pain, a pain beyond words, more painful than any torture in a laboratory in his life.

But its mood was rejoicing, it endured the pain, gently and carefully, put the sleeping human into its own.

Shh, it's alright, it won't hurt. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you are in my arms...

Until a certain moment, the red gold crystal completely engulfed Jiang Jianming. The monster devoured its lover, and at last rested contentedly.

In the depths of the snow-white crystal nest, a huge cluster of red-gold crystals appeared.
