"I am going to die," he said.

"There will be the best and most loyal fighters of the empire. According to the calculation data of the Black Shark base, 200,000 people can guarantee a certain blow to the crystal nest, and at the same time, the empire can withstand losses without collapsing."

"No."

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

Beside her, Chen Hanke's face was also livid: "Your Majesty, please think again. Even if you really need soldiers to die for your country, please allow me to lead the army!"

The thin light wanders on the glass of the government hall, outlining the outline of the founding emperor's profound facial features.

Leian sat on the throne, smiling easily, his emerald green eyes gleaming like cold knives: "Listen to me."

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

"The Black Shark Base will inherit the research results of the Gray Owl Laboratory, and develop several new concept weapons for crystal nests 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, crystal particles have obvious self-consciousness. Since this kind of consciousness can interfere with humans, it can naturally be interfered by humans."

Speaking of this, Lean paused, pointing to himself: "In fact, this is also the reason why I was born in this world."

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

"—Keos!"

Lin Geba raised her voice, thin beads of sweat dripping from her forehead, "Calm down first... I know the situation is bad, yes, the situation is fucking rotten! But we can think of other ways, at leastWait another year or two?"

"That's the way."

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

Chen stopped the emperor in front of him: "Your Majesty, if you leave like this, the empire will inevitably be in chaos; the 200,000 elite will be damaged, and there will be a fault in the military's talent pool that cannot be healed. It will only become more and more difficult in the future—"

Ryan narrowed his eyes: "Yeah, that's what you guys 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 disheveled, "Your Majesty!"

The atmosphere inside was freezing, Chen Hanke turned his head: "Your Majesty the Queen?"

Sylph ran all the way in a hurry. At this time, she pressed her hands on her knees and gasped, "You...you can't go in person. You are Kaios, 000 from the Gray Owl Laboratory. You have human body on your body.I hope...if His Majesty is gone, there will be no turning point for us!"

She walked quickly towards Ryan, with pleading eyes: "Give the Black Shark base a little more time, and we will be able to complete the spiritual consciousness projection technology. If the matrix plan can be successfully implemented, there is no need for everyone to die!"

Hiss... Chen Hanke gasped, lowered his voice in surprise and asked Lin Ge, "Is Your Majesty the Queen from the Black Shark Base?"

Lin Ge gritted his teeth sullenly and said, "More than that, she is the leader of the base."

"...Close the door first."

Ryan glanced back at Sylph, "Now the front line needs more hope than the laboratory. Besides, isn't the 000 data in your hands?"

Sylph closed the door behind her with a slam. She walked to Lin Ge and stared at the emperor: "What about the commander, what should the commander do!?"

Chen Hanke's eyelids twitched—why is there a commander here again!?

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

As she spoke, 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 woke up."

"rest assured."

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

...

In the 12th year of the new imperial calendar, Emperor Kaios launched the fifth sacred battle.

He left behind the concept of the White Bird Project, and entrusted Lin Ge, Chen, and Silf with the funeral, while he himself led the fleet to set sail.

The soldiers secretly signed consent forms and wrote last words.They came from Jinrilun, from Yinbeidou, and even from the general army of the empire that did not belong to these two legions. In the end, they gathered 200,000 people.

"Don't go."

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

This naughty woman, who had always been fearless, had trembling lips and flushed eyes, "Don't go, little bastard, if you go, the empire that Dawn is thinking about will be destroyed."

"It's just me, don't you know me yet? I'm just an untouchable in the wild with no parents, 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, and Kaios's face was as cold as iron. He strode past Lin Ge and whispered the moment he passed by:

"I leave it to you, sister."

Lin Ge stared wide-eyed, suddenly something cool was stuffed into the palm of his hand, and when he looked down, it turned out to be Jin Xiao Zhimian's mecha bracelet.

She doubted her eyes and ears, but heard Ryan's happy laugh behind her, 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 such a smile, and his back disappeared.

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

The starship is far away from the empire, and farewell to the human homeland.

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

During the projection, the emperor stroked a corner of the frozen hibernation chamber 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 from the air.

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

"If I and the commander-in-chief are buried with the lords, I will not wrong you."

That night, don't know how many soldiers were horrified and aphasic, and don't know how many soldiers were in grief and indignation.

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

Ryan ignored those cries, he knew in his heart that without his own strength, the fleet might not be able to reach the edge of the crystal nest at all.

And he also has an idea: since he is Kaios, perhaps the original consciousness facing the crystal particles can also play a greater role in suppressing.Regardless, it's worth a try.

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

The Crystal Nest seems to be aware of the unkindness of the comers. Whether it is the density of alien creatures or the chaos of the crystal particles, they are more than twice as strong as in the fourth holy battle.

The Imperial Army kept fighting and wasting away.

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

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

"Vanguard fires—"

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

Human beings have never faced such an opponent before, and every step forward is stepping on the road made of bones and dead souls.

"Forward, full speed ahead! Fast, fast, fast."

"Rush over!!"

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

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

"Sir, Dongri is still trapped by alien creatures..."

"I can't control it anymore, let's go!"

In front of the podium, as soon as the officer finished speaking, he saw a bright light on the screen.Diagonally behind them, the Toichi activated its self-destruct system.

The starship exploded, and the flames engulfed the twisted and deformed alien creatures, as well as nearly a thousand soldiers who were still fighting fiercely in the Dongri.

"Report!"

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

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

At the same time, Prince Lai'an also came from the other side, standing behind Xie Yuduo: "Say."

"The vanguard ship has captured... you can take a look."

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

It is distorted, ugly, and riddled with holes, but after being scanned by the restoration lens, it shows that a military emblem like a scorching sun and a shield was once engraved in a certain area.

"..."

Xie Yuduo stared at the scorched black and deformed metal garbage. After a while, the major general, who was always unrestrained, took off his military cap.

He whispered: "Show the whole army a look. The wreckage of Jinrilun's starship should be more than 50 years ago."

Ryan: "That was the 12th year of the New Emperor Calendar, during the first White Bird Expedition... Tsk, what do you think I am doing? I don't remember now."

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

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 young master was able to activate the authority of Commander Aslan on that day.

Major General Xie paused, and murmured in a low voice: "And before that, you have already sacrificed your life twice in Crystal Nest."

Ryan didn't take it seriously: "It's just one time. The original body is not dead, so it can't be considered a sacrifice."

Xie Yuduo: "Back then, the Emperor and the Commander...uh, that was you and Your Excellency...What happened in the end?"

"Did the two really go to Crystal Nest? How did the base project you? Did your Excellency tell you these details?"

"That's not true," Ryan said thoughtfully, "but even today, I can almost guess it."

boom……!

When the starship landed, or fell into the crystal nest, there were very few 200,000 golden sun wheels left.

The weapons were emptied, and many people died. The starship was affected by the excessive concentration of crystal particles and could no longer fly. Even the high-level mechs did not have much energy left.

The vast expanse of crystal nest land stretches in front of your eyes, snow-white and snow-white, like a faded alien space.

The crystal particles are rioting, and the crystal nest consciousness is screaming.The invisible huge waves covered the sky, engulfing the ant-like human beings.

"what……!"

Countless imperial soldiers died the moment they stepped on this land, and countless people vomited blood and fell to the ground.

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

They fell, and their fellow-citizens stepped over the corpses.

The emperor finally ordered that the whole army move towards the direction where the crystal particles are thicker.

Go forward, take one step forward if you can.The closer one dies to the mother nucleus of the crystal nest, the greater the impact of human will, even if it is only a little bit larger.

And Ryan himself carried his lover out of the dormant compartment.

Crash... The sleeping black-haired remnant crystal man was fished out of the dormant liquid, and the snow-white crystal nest ground illuminated every drop of water that fell, making him look like a legendary merman.

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

First he lay limply in His Majesty's arms, was bumped a bit, his head rested on His Majesty's shoulder, and wiped a few strands of beautiful platinum curly hair.

"We have arrived." Lai An whispered: "Jiang, did you see... This is a place that even starships cannot reach, so I brought you here."

This is what he once promised Jiang, regardless of life or death, he will be by his side and in his arms.

Lai An stretched the last crystal bone, and the red-gold iron wings tens of meters long spread out behind him in an instant, and then bent in front of him, protecting the disabled human being sleeping in his arms.

He moved forward, towards the direction of death.

Behind him, soldiers of the empire followed with difficulty.

Gradually, one soldier after another fell, and the fallen never got up again.Crystals wriggled out, engulfing the body of the dead, dragging it into the white depths.

I don't know how long it took, but the number of followers behind the emperor became less and less, and there was no last one left.

On the vast white crystal land, only he was left, turning into a small black spot and walking.

The crystal alienation on Lai An's body became more and more serious, his cheeks were covered with crystals, and his emerald green eyes were full of pain.The crystal bone is no longer a dignified and mighty appearance, 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 his body, protecting the drowsy Jiang Jianming from the crystal particles.

The so-called crystal nest mother nucleus, but still don't know where it is, still don't know how far it is.

I don't know how long walked.

Lai An's human structure begins to crumble again and it turns into a monster.

And on the pale and thin face of the disabled human 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, and it can no longer protect its lover.

But at this moment, it suddenly became frightened: Ah, will Jiang still feel the pain, will the crystal particles still torture him on the spiritual level?

But it once told Jiang that it wouldn't hurt when he fell asleep.That person has endured too much pain and should not be destroyed by despicable enemies anymore.

What to do, what to do.

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

The skin is ripped open, the flesh is split open, the bones are smashed, and the viscera are ground into mud.

Open me up, you put me inside, okay?

Suddenly, the monster let out an inhuman cry, and a huge hole was suddenly opened from its chest to its belly.The blood was like pouring rain, spattered into the sky and then sprinkled back to the ground.

Its skin ripped open, its flesh cracked, its bones cracked under the weight before shattering, and its guts melted into pulpy blood.

The monster felt very painful, very painful, the pain could not be described in any words, it was more painful than any torture in the laboratory in this life.

But its mood became joyful, it endured the pain, and gently and carefully put the sleeping human being into itself.

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

Until a certain moment, the red-gold crystals completely engulfed Jiang Jianming.The monster ate its lover, and finally sat still.

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