Chapter 6 Chapter V Battle of Primus

It was not until one day three years later, in the sight of dying, that she saw him again. The surroundings were also burning fiercely, and countless warship wrecks were floating in the dark night sky.She exhausted all her strength and sent out a distress signal with the spare radio in the cabin, and her consciousness gradually became blurred.The footsteps of death approached, and in the blur, she suddenly saw a familiar figure - a soldier jumped into the blown up space shuttle and walked quickly. who is it?Is...is it Brother Bixia?no it's not... She tried her best to see that person clearly, but her vision was blurred and congested, and she could only see a pair of calm black eyes on her pale face, so indifferent yet so deep—is it... the admiral?

Blood and fire were burning, but the soldiers who had received the signal and led the team just stood in the dilapidated cabin, looked down at the dying woman curled up in the cabin, stood still for a moment, then bent down and hugged her across the cabin. Standing up——behind the soldiers was the flaming planet Crete, and a huge battle group centered on Primos. In the pitch-black space, tens of thousands of warships shone like stars. The flames of war continued to spread, gradually spreading from the east to the west of the galaxy. In the past few years, the Galactic Federation has changed several governments, and politicians have changed batch after batch, but there is still no improvement in military and politics.Governor Fernando of the Solar Federation passed away due to illness in the winter of the 39th year of the cosmic calendar. His successor was Admiral Miguel Hein, a young genius military strategist who was expected by everyone in the Solar Federation.

The war between the military empire and the Sun Galaxy Alliance intensified, and the battles became more intensive in the later period. In just one year, three large-scale battles were launched. Each time the troops mobilized were more than one million, and the combat radius expanded to dozens light years— And the fourth battle was called the "Battle of Primos" by later generations. "Report! The flagship is on fire, the flagship is on fire!" After a violent shock, a report from the rear equipment maintenance soldier came from the laser communication circuit, and echoed hoarsely in the command room, "The maintenance of the power cabin is about to be burned through!"

The Star of the Empire was vibrating violently, the voltage in the cabin was intermittent, and all the instruments gave off sharp and piercing alarms. Standing in the cabin, you could almost hear the sound of the outer wall alloy being torn under the laser cannon. "Marshal!" Lieutenant General Yuli Kenan couldn't bear it anymore, "Please replace the flagship immediately!" "Kenan, don't get excited." Marshal Phidias supported the podium, and kept staring at the intermittent holographic screen while the flagship was shaking, watching the changes in the battlefield situation displayed on it, "Hmph... don't worry , now that guy Hein won't be much better than me—his 'Glorious God' was also hit!"

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his sword eyebrows were raised slightly. At the same time, the flagship shook violently again, and the screen went black in an instant! "The explosion came from the inside! Marshal!" Lieutenant General Kenan exclaimed, and he couldn't help but go up and grab his good friend's arm, "Quick retreat! Quick! The flagship is about to explode, Bixia!" In his anxiety, he no longer cared about the difference between superiors and subordinates, and just dragged the imperial marshal away desperately. "Imperial Star, is it going to be blown up?" Marshal Bisha von Phidias sighed softly, there seemed to be a strange flash between his brows, he suddenly rushed to the command seat, and decisively gave the final order , "All personnel immediately retreat to the command ship 'Silver Wing' of the Eleventh Fleet of the Ninth Legion!"

When this order was just issued, Phidias paused and added: "Before the crew in the cab evacuates, switch to the automatic navigation system and speed up the flagship as much as possible!" "What's the destination of the autopilot, ask for instructions!" The personnel in the cab asked eagerly. "Choose any planet nearby! The flagship must leave the formation before it explodes!" Phidias ordered decisively, with a cold and decisive voice, "At all costs, it must be fast!" Lieutenant General Kennan also knows: as the flagship "Empire Star", the power system used is also the most advanced antimatter thruster in the Milky Way today-this kind of fuel with astonishing energy but also astonishing danger, if once If it loses control and explodes in your own fleet, the consequences will be disastrous!

"All fleet commanders, listen to me: within 30 seconds, take the current position of the flagship as the central axis, turn sideways for a distance of five degrees and ten light seconds, and make way for a passage!" After retreating to the Silver Wing , Marshal Phidias ordered sharply. Like the wind, the flagship under the control of the automatic navigation system rushed out of the army and disappeared into the vast black space in an instant. A few seconds later, a faint red light flashed somewhere in the black space. "Is it finally destroyed? My war horse..." The young military dictator of the empire stared at the point in the depths of the universe, and seemed to mutter something, but then a sneer appeared on his face : "Kenan, look, the same situation seems to be encountered on the other side!" He raised his hand, and lightly pointed to a certain place on the screen——

At almost the same position as before, there was another faint red light flashing in a trance, and then disappeared. "The two flagships have been destroyed this time...is it a tie?" Lieutenant General Kenan murmured—a tie with Governor Hein is not a shame even for the Marshal of the Empire thing.Otherwise, he was really worried that Yi Bixia's personality with his eyes above his head would be unbearable. "Report!" A report came from behind, and Marshal Phidias suddenly turned his head, and saw that it was Lieutenant General Gordon Holman, the captain of the Eleventh Fleet of the Ninth Legion, who came to report to him in high spirits.

"Marshal, do you want to launch a fourth round of all-out attack?" Holman had an eager expression on his face, "The Eleventh Fleet requests to take the lead as an advance force!" Although it has been five days and four nights of continuous fighting, the "Satan Cavalry" has been recharging their energy all the time because they did not receive an order to attack, and the militant Lieutenant General Holman was already impatient. "Gordon..." Phidias couldn't help laughing, he knew this aggressive comrade too well.Lightly pointing his finger at the command seat, the marshal smiled at his fighting men: "Don't think that all soldiers are as energetic as you!"

The young Imperial Marshal looked back at the exhausted guards and servants around him—after a long period of continuous combat, even these people who were not fighting on the front line could no longer support them. "Lieutenant General Holman, lead the Eleventh Fleet to escort and guard," Bisha von Phidias looked at the soldiers under him, and then at the lieutenant general who seemed to have energy but no place to use it, and ordered, " Pass on the order, from now on, all the personnel who fought on the front line just now will be replaced and enter the pure oxygen chamber to rest for three hours!"

After giving the order, the Imperial Marshal picked up a glass of red wine wearily and took a sip. "Will the army of the Sun-Galaxy Alliance take the opportunity to counterattack?" Lieutenant General Kenan couldn't help interjecting.But the marshal said affirmatively: "Kenan, you must know that even our imperial army has such a large consumption, then the opponent's situation will only be worse-if Hein really wants to counterattack, I'm afraid it will be powerless." Phidias paused for a moment, raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows wearily, and continued: "And with the escort of the Satanic cavalry, I believe that even if they can't repel and counterattack on the spot, there should be enough time for the whole army to make a move. reaction." Hearing the marshal's praise for his troops, Lieutenant General Holman cheered up and raised his hand to salute the army beamingly: "Marshal, my subordinates will live up to the trust! Marshal, please rest well, and fight again tomorrow!" Phidias smiled slightly and raised the wine glass in his hand: "Thanks for your hard work, Gordon. You all go about your own business." After ordering everyone to go back to rest, the marshal sat alone in front of the podium, stretched his limbs as far as possible against the back of the chair, and sighed: "Albert, pour me another glass of red wine." The intern at the military academy next to the Marshal was a 17-year-old boy with chestnut hair. He had been watching the marshal's every move with respect and respect. Hearing this, he quickly poured the wine.Seeing the red liquid swaying in the crystal clear cup, the Marshal let out a contented sigh—— To be honest, he was the commander in chief who was the most tiring.Because this time the opponent in the battle is that damned Miguel Hein, the only deadly enemy who has been having some headaches since he graduated from the military academy. Since Phidias was twenty-one years old, the battles between the two of them, big and small, have never stopped.And since Phidias launched a military coup three years ago, with the support of young soldiers, he ascended to the commanding heights of power in the Galactic Empire; and after Hein officially took over the military power of the Sun-Galaxy Alliance a year ago, the relationship between the two The contest between them has escalated into a life-and-death struggle between two opposing regimes. "This guy Hein...is really a headache..." Phidias put his legs crossed on the podium, watched the enemy enter the adjustment period on the holographic screen, and put on a strict defensive formation , couldn't help but murmured while shaking the red wine in the glass.A series of reports on combat casualties, material consumption, and combat effectiveness estimates from the staff of the staff department came from the internal circuit next to the ear. It seemed that even if Primos could be captured this time as planned, the number of casualties would be considerable. Bisha von Phidias pointed the wine glass at the shadowless lamp on the cabin roof, admiring the beautiful luster reflected by the red wine, and seemed not to mind the shocking casualties just now—he was just doing what he wanted to do , As for how many thousands of people died and how much blood was shed, what does it have to do with him? He is not like that Miguel Hein, who thinks that fighting is to protect his nation and country, and it is his own mission—mission?Thinking of this, Phidias laughed again, what a strange statement... Does this guy, Hein, really believe that he is the so-called "guardian warrior" of the solar system? ridiculous!It's just a puppet hypnotized by spiritual opium and the so-called sense of responsibility! Looking at the smile on the great leader's face, the young guard who had always regarded Phidias as a role model and silently observed everything about him couldn't help feeling a little strange. "Report! Marshal, Governor Miguel Hein requires an urgent dialogue!" While Phidias was looking at the wine glass in his hand, a report from the staff of the Telematics Department suddenly came from the circuit, "Do you want to connect the circuit? Ask for directions!" "Miguel Hein?" Phidias stopped shaking his wine glass and frowned, "Connect immediately!" The battle has progressed to this extent, that fellow Hein, what else do you want to do?What's the matter with asking for dialogue in such a hurry?Certainly not a summation, then again... Phidias folded his legs on the podium, put the wine glass on the armrest of the chair, sat up and stared at the holographic display above the second circuit. At the same time, without his order, the young man serving as the bodyguard had already retreated quietly. "Phidias!" Before the image was displayed, Hein's voice sounded impatiently, "Can you come here? Or it will be too late!" Such an eager voice was contrary to the Governor's usual serious and indifferent personality. "Come over here? Are you kidding me!" Marshal Phidias was taken aback for a moment, raised his eyebrows and sneered, looked at the gradually clear image of the other party on the screen, and knocked on the command seat: "Hein, do you think you are in the 100,000 fleet?" During the match, can you invite me to be a guest? Are you dizzy from the war?" The sun on the screen - the governor of the Galactic Federation looked a little pale, and there was a patch of bright red blood on his cheek. —Could it be...was he injured when his flagship "Glorious God" was hit just now?The marshal thought to himself, but suddenly heard Miguel Hein say word by word: "Phidias, Miss Daisy de Moore wants to see you—if it's too late, it's too late." When Bisha von Phidias heard this familiar name, a dark cloud suddenly flashed across his face, and then he sneered: "Really? You wanted to use this woman to threaten me? Hmph..." He A cold light flashed in Bi Se's eyes, and he raised his hand and cut off the communication switch: "Do whatever you want - who cares?" "Shut up!" The Governor suddenly blurted out, pressed the "Stop Shutdown" button forcefully on the other side, and said sharply, "She's going to die! Do you know? Daisy is going to die! —— She's really going to die!" He turned around and pulled back the protective curtain behind him, pointing at the woman lying in a transparent sterile first aid cabin floating in the air. Through the transparent enclosure of the first aid cabin, one can see that in the gravity-free space field, the blood is like red pearls floating all over the red-haired girl's body, and more blood seeps out from every inch of her skin irresistibly. !Soldiers who have been born and died on the battlefield for a long time know that such injuries are probably caused by strong radiation and shock waves, which completely destroy the hemagglutinin in the body, and the whole body bleeds, making it impossible to survive. "..." As if struck by lightning, Marshal Phidias froze on the switch.He raised his head in disbelief, staring at the familiar red-haired woman on the screen for a long time, as if he lost his soul for a moment.After a long time, until he was convinced of the truth of the matter, he asked in a shy voice, "Why is this happening? Could it be, could it be that you hid her in..." He turned back and picked up the wine glass by the table again, and lightly sipped the blood-red wine, as if he was trying to suppress his emotional ups and downs, but his violently shaking hands revealed his heart. "Yes. In the past few years, Ms. Moore has indeed lived on the planet Crete." Governor Hein's mouth twitched, and he said in a low voice: "And the planet closest to this battlefield is also Crete. For you, for you For me, it’s all the same—you probably remember it now? With the espionage capabilities of the military empire, it’s impossible not to find her whereabouts for three years.” "Phidias, have you forgotten too? At that time, you who just wanted to get out of trouble also forgot, right?" He suddenly raised his head, fixedly looked at Phidias, and smiled wearily, "The navigation system automatically Pointing to the nearest planet... Ha!" This usually serious and calm young leader actually had a chilling smile on the corner of his mouth! In an instant, as if hit hard by an invisible hand, Marshal Phidias shook slightly.He took another sip of the red wine, clenched the glass tightly, and asked in a harsh voice, "So... has Planet Crete been destroyed?" "Of course. Is there any luck?" Governor Hein sneered, "Two large battleships filled with antimatter exploded in the atmosphere-do you think it is not enough to destroy all living things on that planet?" Governor Hein let out a breath, stood up straight again, and said in a low voice, "Fortunately, at that time, she was leaving Crete by space shuttle and had already exited the atmosphere, so she was not annihilated at the moment of the explosion—just , after suffering such severe shock waves and radiation, she will definitely not survive. My battleship received a distress signal from her plane and sent her here from the wreckage of the spaceship." "She... asked you for help?" As soon as the words came out, Phidias felt a little regretful—when Daisy escaped from Koppel and went into exile in the distant Solar Federation, Miguel Hein, who was still the governor of the Federation, He once extended a helping hand to this lonely and helpless woman.Therefore, compared to her always indifferent self, it was not surprising that Daisy would ask Hein for help when life and death were at stake. Governor Hein did not answer this question, but raised his hand lightly to touch the brim of his military cap: "Miss Moore is out of time. She said she wanted to see Your Excellency, so I brought the message here. I hope it won't disturb the calendar. Your Excellency the Marshal. Resign." He reached out and pressed the switch, and the display screen went black again in an instant. The Silver Wing flagship fell into deathly silence again. "Crack!" The crisp sound suddenly echoed in the command room for a long time!The red wine juice spilled like blood on the ground in the cabin.The young Imperial Marshal subconsciously let go of the hand holding the cup, supported the command seat with both arms, buried his head deeply, and did not make a sound for a long time. ——If Albert was around at this moment, he would be surprised to find that the expression on the face of the Reichsmarshal now was something he had never seen for three years. "Wait for me...Brother Bixia! Brother Bixia!..." A voice from nowhere suddenly filled his ears, calling like a breeze, "Wait...wait for me Brother Bisha!" Phidias subconsciously raised his head and looked around the command room—however, in the empty cabin, there were only cold mechanical equipment silently facing him. Where... Where is the sound coming from?The Imperial Marshal retreated to the bulkhead in horror, and raised his hand to cover his chest—it was there!It was an echo sounding from the depths of his heart!For a moment, several expressions alternated on Phidias' face.Finally, he raised his sword eyebrows, and a resolute smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Lieutenant General Holman, come to the flagship command room immediately! There is an urgent matter!" At the same time, he opened the communication circuit and ordered his subordinates: "Immediately inform the Governor of the Sun-Galactic Federation, His Excellency Miguel Hein, that the Imperial Marshal Bisha von Phidias requests an immediate secret meeting with the governor on the military median line in accordance with the conventions of cosmic warfare!" After a series of orders were issued, he breathed a sigh of relief, fell silent again, and was lost in thought while holding the red wine.After a long time, a low voice came out from his lips—— "Stupid girl, you are so ugly, how dare you die like this?" According to the current situation of the war, the number of casualties and material consumption of the imperial army and its own side are basically the same.In fact, to be able to draw a tie with the imperial army whose strength is higher than his own, I am afraid that there is only this black-eyed soldier in the entire galaxy. However, Miguel Hein, the governor of the alliance, looked at the information in the newspaper and shook his head slightly——if such a one-on-one struggle persisted, it would be a very bad thing for the relatively weak alliance! Miguel Hein had just started to adjust the formation of the fleet, just took a sip of mineral ion water, looked at the data on the screen and shook his head slightly: If this continues, sooner or later the imperial army will take away the victory... The strength is weaker than that of the empire, and with his personal ability, he can only try his best to delay the ending as much as possible. "Report! The wounded are in critical condition! All organs are in a state of shock and necrosis, and cannot be recovered!" The clear voice of the attending doctor Mueller came from the communication circuit, calm and cruel, "Governor, do you want to take out the patient's surviving brain tissue?" ?Otherwise, the death of the body will soon lead to brain death—only by cutting off the necrotic body can the survival of the brain be guaranteed!" Governor Hein's cold face twitched uncontrollably: take out Daisy's brain and let her live alone?He imagined that after losing the body, it would be placed alone in the culture medium, connected to the port, and the brain body connected to the computer. He couldn't help but silently took a breath, and said in a low voice: "Please ask the patient's own wishes, and she can decide by herself." "Yes." Dr. Mueller backed away. At the same time, another report from the correspondent came from the long-distance communication circuit: "Report to the governor, Marshal Bisha von Phidias of the Galactic Empire sent a note: request to conduct a meeting with the governor in the non-military buffer zone in accordance with the war practice. Secret meeting!" Governor Hein's eyes flickered for a moment, and he blurted out a soft "oh", the expression on his face was either joy or worry. "Immediately reply to the Marshal of the Empire, saying that I agree to his request - according to the usual practice, space capsules will be built on the military median line of the two armies, and they will arrive separately in six hours!" Governor Hein breathed a sigh of relief and ordered, "At the same time, send an order for backup Repair the fifth team, grab the time to build the space capsule as soon as possible! As soon as possible!" "Yes! Governor!" The soldiers under his command took the orders and left. Hein raised his hand and put on his hat, and got up from the podium to leave.Suddenly, the voice of the attending doctor rang again: "Report to the governor! I asked the patient just now, and the patient chose to die naturally and opposed the separation of the brain and body!" This time, even the doctor's usual cold and objective voice was a little shocked-you know, in the era of extremely developed medical technology, almost no one is willing to follow the objective laws of nature and choose to die. After death from exhaustion, the hospital has to take out the brain and store it in the culture medium, connect it to the computer, and continue to exist in the form of artificial intelligence. So Dr. Muller couldn't understand: a young woman in her twenties would voluntarily give up the operation when all the conditions and skills allowed! "Then, respect her opinion and try to prolong her survival time." After a while, Governor Hein gave the order to the doctor with difficulty, turned off the communication switch forcefully, and stayed in the space outside the cabin for a long time—— There, he saw a shooting star passing by, like a cold tear falling on the night sky. He knew... that girl who liked to grow delphiniums was going to be gone forever. However, if she is bound to die...if it is a matter of time before death comes—then...why not—a flash of lightning-like light suddenly flashed in Hein's black eyes! After thinking for a long time, he finally opened the dedicated communication circuit and ordered his military doctor. "Dr. Muller, may I ask how long it will take for a patient to go from body death to brain death?" "Reporting to the governor will take about one to two hours—if necessary measures are taken, it can be extended to about two hours." The doctor replied honestly, "but during that time, the patient will feel great pain." "Ah... the meeting time is only about an hour?" Governor Hein suddenly murmured inexplicably, a flash of lightning flashed in his black eyes, and he whispered, "Dr. Muller, immediately Come to the command room, I have something important to tell you personally!" For some reason, there was a strange tremor in his voice. After notifying the doctor to come, the young governor turned his head and stared at the vast space outside the cabin again.The shooting star that fell just now was no longer visible—in the boundless night, it seemed that no shooting star had ever passed by... He knew that the girl who liked to plant flowers and trees during the day and gaze at the starry sky at night would disappear forever in this universe... just like the thousands of warriors he had seen before. He has been used to seeing the passing of life since he was a child, and the number of deaths can no longer shock him. "Miguel...Look, that's a meteor—" When he was a child, his mother-in-law walked out of the underground air-raid room with him in his arms. The ground was full of ruins caused by war, and she pointed out to him a certain place in the sky. Meteor, said to him gently, "Meteor is the soul of a warrior! It is a lonely soul somewhere in the universe that has been fighting for its beliefs—Miguel, you will definitely grow up to be like your parents. A strong and excellent warrior, to protect your people, right?" Yes, he was destined to become a soldier since he was a child, to fight for his homeland, for the nation, for honor and responsibility! Even if you fight until you are alone, keep going until death comes. At the same time, to him, those soldiers who died in the war were nothing more than a dazzling meteor shower falling all over the sky!One day, his life will inevitably fall in the dark universe like this-but now, whose soul is that lonely falling meteor?Is that ordinary, kind girl who loves to grow delphiniums? She was not a warrior, nor was she born to fight—why did she even fall?Why? The twenty-eight-year-old Governor Miguel Hein felt indescribably uncomfortable about war for the first time. "Governor... Thank you, thank you..." Although the doctor repeatedly prevented her from speaking, Daisy de Moore, who was wrapped in a magnetic compression suit all over her body, still struggled to say something.In order to prevent the massive bleeding caused by the loss of prothrombin, the doctor put her on a special pressurized suit and suspended her in the emergency cabin with a magnetic field, so as not to cause partial pressure on the body due to her own weight and make the bleeding situation become worse. more serious. "It's nothing. Miss Moore, in a few minutes, Marshal Phidias will be here." Accompanied by doctors and guards, Hein sat quietly on the "Sun Soul" that had just been converted into a flagship, and looked towards the The temporary space capsules on the military median line of both sides sailed away. "Governor, you have always, always taken good care of me...I know...my request is unreasonable...so, thank you...for your consent..." Daisy's already pale face became paler and almost terribly pale, every time she said With just one word, a danger warning flashed on the blood filter on the throat, "When I was in Crete, I often thought of you gratefully..." "Stop talking, Miss Moore." Governor Miguel Hein gently put his hands on the edge of the emergency cabin, leaned over and said to the female patient, "Marshal Phidias should be thanked instead? He is willing to come It is very unusual to see you—you rest well and wait for him to come." "Hmm." A smile appeared on Daisy's cheeks. A head of short crimson hair fell on her pale forehead, as eye-catching as blood—but her smile was full of happiness and longing, as beautiful and pure as an angel with broken wings. The governor couldn't help but his heart sank. "Lord Phidias?" "Governor Hein, it's a pleasure to meet you." At 00:15 on November 19, 40 AD in the cosmic calendar, on the military median line between the Empire and Alliance positions, the "Silver Wing" and "Sun Soul" successfully docked with the temporary space capsule respectively. The supreme military leader: Marshal Bisha von Phidias and Governor Miguel Hein, accompanied by their entourage, both stepped into the cabin, met face to face and shook hands. Although they have fought countless times in hundreds of battles and talked in holographic communication, but this kind of on-the-spot meeting is still the first time.When the two people extended their hands and shook each other politely, all the accompanying people couldn't help but pause for breath! —You know, no matter which one of these two hands can easily command millions of troops in the universe; and these two hands, which have been pointing at each other for more than thirty years, are holding together for the first time! Just a light touch as a courtesy, the two put down their arms indifferently and stood facing each other. "Please." Governor Hein raised his hand and made an inviting gesture towards a temporarily isolated intensive care unit in the cabin, "Miss Moore is inside." "Okay." Phidias responded briefly, turned his head and slightly raised his chin at the personnel of the Imperial Intelligence Department accompanying him, and two fully equipped spies immediately rushed into the room and took out various instruments. Everything in the room was thoroughly scanned, even the first aid aseptic cabin where Daisy was in was also checked. Miguel Hein suddenly turned his head, his black eyes flashing coldly: "What do you mean, Your Excellency? After the space capsule was built, your country sent people to inspect it, right?" The young governor's face darkened. "But when I came to check last time, this emergency room hadn't been isolated yet." Jason Alexis, the adjutant next to Marshal Phidias and the newly promoted Deputy Chief of Intelligence of the Galactic Empire, replied. Hein's eyes fell on him, and he suddenly said coldly: "When is it your turn to speak while I'm talking with the marshal?" Although the Deputy Chief of the Intelligence Department who was reprimanded by accident remained calm, he couldn't help clenching his fists because of the humiliation—"Yes, Alex is right. I will never step on the emergency room until I am sure it is completely safe." Take a step inside." Suddenly, the Imperial Marshal standing at the door replied coldly, with his hands folded on his chest, he calmly looked at the busy spy personnel and the red-haired girl in the transparent first aid cabin. Looking at the casual Imperial Marshal and the accompanying staff who were facing an enemy, the smile that had just opened froze on Daisy's pale face.The corners of her mouth moved, but she didn't say anything after all.As soon as the ardent expectations fell through, suddenly, uncontrollable drowsiness and powerlessness hit her, making her want to fall into a deep sleep. "Hold on, don't close your eyes!" The doctor's voice sounded anxiously. But... so, so tired... Never in her life had she longed so much for such a long, peaceful sleep.In the doctor's voice, Daisy's eyes still closed slowly. Since fleeing Coppel three years ago, she has been exhausted physically and mentally by the life of nowhere and nowhere.Forget it... go to sleep, go to sleep, or don't care about anything—— Nothing, nothing... "Governor, I'm sorry." The moment the girl closed her eyes, all the instruments flashed the sign of "terminate operation"! Everyone was startled and turned around with various expressions.The attending doctor, Mu Le, shook his head helplessly, and spread his hands: "I have tried my best - now the patient's body has collapsed, but the brain will last for a while. All the measures now are only slightly satisfactory..." Governor Miguel Hein straightened his body and swayed, and immediately put his white gloved hand on the handle of the cabin door. "Okay... you go down with the medical team." He put his other hand on his forehead and whispered to the doctor. Dr. Muller lowered his head, his eyes seemed ashamed—as a doctor who is known as the number one medical doctor in the galaxy, he must feel uncomfortable when he saw his patient die with his own eyes, right? "Your Excellency Phidias, it's too late now..." Governor Hein smiled wryly, and turned his head to the Imperial Marshal who refused to go in by the door.But when Fang turned his head, he was surprised to find that Phidias was no longer there. Looking at the situation in the cabin, the governor was suddenly speechless. The transparent sterile weight-free cabin has been opened, and the young Marshal of the Empire is leaning over, gently stretching out his arms to pick up the girl whose body just collapsed.All the catheters connected to Daisy's body had been torn off by him with one hand, and Phidias gently held the dead red-haired girl on his arms and hugged him across his chest.The blue eyes stared at Daisy's pale face without blinking, and did not leave for a moment. An indescribable emotion—gloom, sorrow, sullenness...was clearly expressed on the always majestic and haughty face of the Imperial Marshal.Phidias' eyes flashed with indifference and sternness, which made all the soldiers under him tremble!Even the governor of the alliance, Miguel Hein, was shocked by the sudden look on the marshal's face—— Sure enough... what he guessed was right... "Fool... are you finally willing to stay by my side now?" Marshal Phidias looked at the dying red-haired girl in his arms, with a strange smile on his lips as he murmured Said generally, "Shouldn't you say stupid things like running away and fighting me desperately?...Really, you must have suffered so much before you learn to be good—a fool." "Yuan, Marshal?" The accompanying adjutant, Brigadier General Alex, stunned and asked stammeringly - not only him, but all the imperial soldiers present were stunned - it turned out that the secret meeting was held this time. Is that the only reason?What a proud leader you are on weekdays!The imperial marshal who is used to giving orders in the army, and even speaks in a short and powerful command style on weekdays! And that woman was the one who broke her marriage contract and eloped with someone three years ago, who was charged with treason and surrendered to the enemy, the woman who once damaged the honor of the empire and the marshal! "How stupid," Marshal Phidias murmured, with a complicated expression, "You are so ugly, yet you dare to run away..." Everyone didn't dare to make a sound, they just quietly watched this strange scene.Even the other protagonist, Governor Hein, turned his head to look at the quiet space outside the cabin. Time passed by, and this embarrassing silence lasted for tens of minutes, making everyone in the cabin a little breathless.Marshal Phidias stared at the red-haired girl and was silent for a long time. Finally, as if he came back to his senses, he raised his head and said slowly to the Governor of the Alliance standing at the door: "Your Excellency, I'm going to take Daisy back." Miguel Hein looked at him, and nodded slowly after a long time: "Please go ahead." However, there was also a trace of indescribable sadness and bitterness in the eyes he stared at the red-haired girl, which was completely different from the eyes of this strict and self-controlled soldier on weekdays.However, he just stood by the door, very politely raising his hand to lead the way for his opponent. "Dess... are you going back to Coppel, okay? We're going home." Phidias said in a low voice, then turned and walked towards the door. hatch. Suddenly, everyone was shocked! —— "Bi Xia...Brother Bi Xia..." A very soft moan came out suddenly. In an instant, a twitch flashed across Governor Hein's face, as if he had forced himself to suppress the exclamation that just came to his lips!The moment Marshal Phidias heard that extremely soft voice, several different expressions alternated across his face, but he was even afraid to look down at the woman in his arms.His arms froze suddenly, his footsteps stopped by the door, and he blurted out, "Daisy? Is that you?... Dai?" “比夏哥哥，你……你在叫我吗？”满身是血的少女微微动了一下，居然吃力地睁开了一线眼睛！方才那一阵永恒的睡眠袭来时，一个遥远的声音奇迹般地传来，竟然把她硬生生从死亡阴影里暂时拉了出来！ 耳边有什么冰冷的东西，硌得她好痛……金色的金属——是肩章吗？那个人居然在身边吗？how is this possible?她想看仔细一些，可眼皮却沉重如铅，视觉也模糊成了一片，只有一些轮廓。 不是梦吧？不是那个自幼以来就一直在做、却永远不可能实现的梦吧？ “不准死，黛丝！”她听见比夏的声音有些颤抖——他害怕什么？从小到大的记忆里，这个人是从来不知“畏惧”为何物的啊！ “笨丫头，长得那么丑，还敢就这样死了？”他喃喃，抱紧了她。 又在命令我吗？ 黛丝想苦笑，却不知脸上是否还能露出这个表情——身体里已经是一片冰冷。逐渐麻痹的意识、逐步吞噬的生命……连她自己也明白，此刻，已是弥留之际了。 比夏哥哥，就算我想听你的话，也是力不从心了啊…… “等等我，比夏哥哥！”十三年前的呼唤又回响在她渐渐变得模糊的意识中。 “真没用！”记忆中那个英武的帝国军校学生头也不回地走开了，只留下她一个人跌倒在公园的地上哭泣——和那个人比起来，她真的是很没用的啊。 迷路了。十一岁的她不记得回家的路，无助地边哭边走，空荡荡的公园里却没有一个人……天色渐渐全黑了！ 大得可怕的公园，只有她一个人。 “比夏哥哥！比夏……哥哥……”只有呼啸的风声回答她。天上的星星渐渐一颗一颗地亮了起来，照亮了漆黑的公园——仿佛是引导她归家的路灯。她迷路了，回不了家！ “比夏哥哥！比夏哥——” “黛，我在呢，就在这里。”恍惚中，她居然听到了回答！ 她看见斐迪亚斯站在她身边，微微俯下身来，一向骄傲自负的脸上居然带着温柔的表情，伸出手想拉起她——陡然间，这张脸又化成了一只穿着军靴的脚，狠狠地踩倒了那棵飞燕草。绿色的浆汁染在粗砺的地面上！ “别……别踩死它！”所有人惊讶地看见昏迷中的少女忽然大声地惊叫起来，一下子抓住了帝国元帅军服的衣领。出于本能反应，亚里克斯准将向前跨了一步，却看见元帅用目光阻止了自己。 苍白的手流着血，痉挛地揪住了斐迪亚斯的衣服。“比夏哥哥……别、别踩它！我知道……我一辈子也跟不上你的。你走的好快啊……是我太没用了。”昏迷中的少女叹了口气，声音微弱地响起在寂静无声的太空舱里，“挡了你的路……哪怕是一棵草、也会被踩成浆吧？……你走的好快啊。我是跟不上你的……我要死了，比夏哥哥。” 声音越来越微弱，那双手终于无力地滑落。 舱里所有的随从人员都不敢出声，自觉地退到了一边。看着红发少女身上渗出的血越来越多，渐渐打湿了帝国元帅军服的下摆和脚下的地面，海因总督脸色也是一片苍白，对随从打了一个手势，示意再次传唤医疗人员。 不知为何，在打手势时，他的手竟微微发抖，目光一刻也没有离开过那个垂死的少女的脸。连太阳－银河联盟的军人们，都发觉了总督失态得近乎无礼的目光，在心中暗暗纳罕。
