The morning sun shone on the green lawn, and the round white ball was turning around in the air. Below it, a huge black panther was walking slowly in the lawn, stepping on the soft grass with its pitch-black paws. Occasionally, it would lower its head and lick the shiny dew hanging on the tip of the grass.
The black-haired marshal was bathed in the brilliance of the morning, his tall figure wrapped in a military uniform with black background and gold pattern was like a tall and straight green pine, and the shadow of a pair of long legs was stretched on the ground. The morning breeze brushed over that handsome cheek, and the jet-black hair softly brushed against his ice-like skin. Standing there, it became a picturesque scene.
Below the landing ship in the distance, the colonel with blue hair was standing there waiting, while the junior soldier with red hair was standing in front of the huge door in the courtyard of the villa, looking at Troy who was giving orders to the political officer of Planet Verna. Marshal Er, occasionally, his eyes will pass over Mutt who is beside the Marshal. The sun slanted on his face, and the shadow covered most of his face, making it difficult for people to see his expression at the moment.
Looking back with cold phoenix eyes, he looked at the person behind him. Troll turned around, and with one step of his long legs, he walked to Mute's side.
Mute looked up at him, and before he had time to smile at him, a pair of hands reached out to hold the boy's cheeks.
The man leaned over, his soft black hair fell on the boy's forehead, and his lips gently touched the boy's lips.
"wait for me."
Marshal Troll said that the star-like dark blue pupils seemed to have thousands of stars when looking at Mutt.
At this moment, his gaze seemed to be filled with the deepest vortex in the seabed, and something was deeply deposited.
After he finished speaking, he took another deep look at the boy, and then turned around. The navy blue cloak flew up from the pure gold epaulets on his shoulders, and swept across the sky, as if gathering the morning light in his cloak.
Mute was taken aback by the marshal's sudden attack, and by the time he reacted, Marshal Troll had already walked to the gate of the courtyard, which was next to Robin. Robin, who was lazily leaning against the wall, immediately stood up straight when the marshal walked over, and followed closely the marshal's pace. However, when he stepped out of the gate, he looked back, and his eyes swept over Mutt's face. Then, without saying anything, he followed behind the marshal without saying a word.
For the first time ever.
The boy muttered in his heart.
During this period of time, it is common for the Marshal to go to wars in the south and north, and it is common for him to leave Fana Star to fight, and sometimes he will take Jia to join the battle, and sometimes he does not need it, so he will stay on Fana Star. And every time they want to separate temporarily, the marshal will always kiss him before leaving... Not only is he used to it, but the marshal's subordinates are probably so numb that they have learned to turn a blind eye.
However, kissing is a common thing, but it is the first time to speak.
Mute raised his hand and looked at the dark blue starlight ring on his left ring finger.
It was something that had just been put on his finger last night... It didn't look like he could tear it off other than to chop his finger.
He held the ring, and it was cool. He didn't know what material it was made of. It looked like gold but not gold, porcelain but not porcelain. There was a cool feeling permeating into the skin, but it didn't make people feel cold.
Something fluffy rubbed against his calf, Mutt lowered his head, Caesar, who was walking on the lawn, came to him at some point, squatted at his feet, raised his head, his ice blue eyes watching him.
Mute laughed, leaned over and hugged Caesar, and rubbed it vigorously several times, messing up the fur on its body. Caesar continued to sit in a high-cold posture, letting Mute rub his body, flicking his long tail around, and sometimes gently licking Mute.
Just playing with Caesar all morning like this, Mute asked Da Da to lead Caesar to eat, while he lazily nestled on the sofa. The silver-white disc with lunch had already flown over and hovered over his in front of you.
He opened the light curtain casually while eating. During this period of time, he has developed the habit of checking some important recent events in the universe every day. Just like watching the league news every night, he thought.
The light curtain flickered, playing a lot of recent major events in the universe one after another, some of which were places he was not familiar with at all, and some of which he barely knew. Ten minutes later, a familiar star map appeared in front of his eyes, causing his eating hand to subconsciously pause.
Emperor Star
He thought, the place where the major general set off this time seems to be near the Emperor Star
Projected on the light curtain are the ten or so artificial satellites surrounding the Emperor Star in the outer space of the Emperor Star. You can see ships approaching slowly around each satellite and then docking with the satellite.
[The royal family retrieved the wreckage of the two satellites destroyed by the "Scepter of Heaven" from orbit some time ago, and at the same time, maintained and overhauled other satellites.]
This is the host in the light curtain talking.
Mute remembered when he heard it. The said to be very powerful strategic weapon "Scepter of the Kingdom of Heaven" seemed to have been damaged last time. Wrecked.
It seems that the royal family recovered the wreckage of those two satellites, intending to restore them
The boy was still pondering this in his mind, when suddenly there was a click, the light curtain twisted a few times and disappeared before his eyes.
Mute was stunned for a moment, and tried to reactivate by typing on the virtual keyboard beside him, but for some reason, the light curtain reappeared, but it was covered with dots and distorted lines, and no image could be seen.
what happened
Mutt fiddled with it a few times, but it didn't work. He was a little anxious when suddenly a huge figure jumped over and landed in front of his eyes, startling him.
As soon as he raised his eyes, he met those slender icy blue pupils, and he was relieved.
It was Caesar.
Caesar, who jumped onto the table in a vigorous figure, stared at him for a while, then lowered his head and stared at the dinner plate on the table.
"Want to eat this?"
Mute reached out and rubbed its pitch-black head, smiled, and handed the half-eaten food to Caesar.
Caesar looked up at Mute, then lowered his head and sniffed the food on the plate. It suddenly let out a low growl, raised its paw, and slapped it on the plate, smashing the porcelain plate to pieces. The pieces, together with the food inside, scattered all over the table, and even dropped a lot on the ground.
"Caesar!"
Mutt was a little angry. He guessed that Caesar was used to eating fine clothes and fine clothes with the princess, so he didn't like these foods. It's just that if you don't like it, you don't like it, just don't eat it, but you have to make a fuss and smash the dinner plate.
He stared at Caesar angrily, wanting to reprimand him. But the black panther who smashed the dinner plate squatted on the table, looking at him with icy blue eyes so quietly, he lost his temper.
never mind.
The boy sighed, stretched out his hand and rubbed the jet-black fur on its neck vigorously.
"Don't do that next time."
He told Caesar that looking at the messy food on the floor, he had no choice but to call out Da Da and ask him to direct the cleaning robot to clean it up.
"That's right, da da."
"Da da here~~ What's the matter~~ Lord Mutt~~"
While watching the cleaning robot clean up, the round white ball rolled back and forth in the air.
"What's going on here?" Mutt pointed to the light curtain with only specks and distorted lines, "Why can't I see it anymore?"
"Ah~~~"
Da Da's pair of triangular eyes lit up a few times, and then quickly gave an answer.
"I'm sorry, there seems to be a problem with the optical frequency signal of the communication, I'll check it right away~~ During this period, I'm afraid I can't use the communication~"
"what?"
Mute's first feeling was that the internet was disconnected
The second reaction is that the future interstellar era will also be blocked and disconnected
"how long?"
"It's going to be soon~~ Why don't you go and have a rest first? It'll be fine if you wake up~"
Mute scratched his head. After Da Da said this, he suddenly felt a little sleepy, and couldn't help but yawned.
"All right."
he said, rubbing his arms around Caesar again.
"Hey, don't break anything anymore."
After he finished speaking, he got up and walked up to the second floor, directly into the bedroom.
As soon as he lay on the bed, sleepiness swept over him like a tide, he closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep...
...
……………
[wait for me].
...
dizzy...
What's going on... I'm so sleepy... I feel like I've slept for a long time... I'm still so sleepy...
The boy on the bed barely opened his eyes, a beam of morning sunlight fell on his cheeks, which made him feel a little dazzling for a while.
His mind was still in a trance, and he was still half awake and half asleep. He glanced at the sunlight outside the window, and the morning sunlight was not hot, but rather cool.
... early morning
Mute sat up with his drowsy head, staring at the sun outside the window in a daze.
He slept for a really long time, from noon to morning.
The boy quickly shook his head vigorously to wake himself up. He heard a low growl from below, which was obviously Caesar's roar, and he didn't know if something had happened again, so he quickly got out of bed and wanted to go down to have a look. However, as soon as his foot stepped on the ground, his leg suddenly softened, and he almost fell to the ground.
what happened
Mute, who was holding onto the wall at the critical moment, was a little dazed, why did he feel his body was limp? Although it is true that after sleeping for a long time, the body will feel tired, but it is not to such a degree, is it
There was another roar from below, and it was still a little hoarse, as if it had been roaring for a long time. Mute was surprised and anxious when he heard it, and hurried out. As soon as he walked to the edge of the stairs and looked down, he immediately became angry.
He saw a row of metal railings erected in the hall, trapping Caesar like a cage. Caesar was locked up by the metal bars erected on all sides, and he couldn't bite, so he could only growl continuously. And the round white ball was just above the railing, up and down up and down, and Caesar seemed to be staring at it and roaring.
"Da da, what are you doing?"
Mute yelled, his voice was a little hoarse because he just woke up.
As soon as he shouted, the chubby body idling around Caesar paused in the air, and after a while, he slowly turned around. No matter how you look at that action, it looks like it was frightened and suddenly stiffened.
"Master Mutt, are you... awake?"
It said, but the tone of the speech gave off a very strange feeling, as if it didn't want Mutt to wake up.
"What are you doing?"
Mutter frowned and said, "Let Caesar out."
Da Da didn't make a sound, but it didn't dare to disobey Mute's order.
The metal bars erected on the ground quickly fell down and melted on the floor, as if they had never existed before. Caesar, who had regained his freedom, jumped upwards, and Da Da quickly flew away, narrowly avoiding Caesar's claws.
Caesar didn't try to pounce on him anymore, but stopped in front of Mutt who was walking over. He lowered his body, tensed his muscles, bared his fangs, and let out a shocking growl at Da Da. The roar was hoarse, like I yelled for a long time.
Mutt was stopped by Caesar, a little confused. He could see that Caesar's action seemed to be protecting him. For some reason, it felt that Da Da was a threat to him, so it stood between him and Da Da to protect him.
Why
The teenager has a feeling that the world becomes inexplicable when he wakes up.
He squatted down and hugged Caesar who was still growling from behind, trying to comfort him first, but he was stunned as soon as he hugged Caesar. Because he found that the body of the black panther he was embracing was much thinner than the one he was embracing yesterday, the touch was very obvious, the abdomen was deeply sunken, it looked like... almost like...
It's like Caesar hasn't eaten for several days.
The boy froze in place, as strange things flashed through his mind one after another.
…
Suddenly the ring on the finger...
...
[wait for me].
The major general's sudden parting words.
…
The light curtain signal suddenly disconnected...
[Communication light frequency is broken, it needs to be repaired, you should go to sleep first.]
... ... ...
Caesar, who has always been indifferent, sniffed his dinner plate for some reason and smashed it all at once...
...
...the morning sun...his limbs and hoarse voice that seemed to be weak from too much sleep...
Caesar's hostility towards DaDa... and this emaciated body that looks like it hasn't eaten for days...
…
The inexplicable sense of panic made Mute's heart tighten, and he stared at the white ball above as soon as he raised his head.
"Da da!"
"Ah! It wasn't Da Da's doing! It's not Da Da's fault! Da Da just obeyed orders!"
The round white ball started to circle over the room in a panic, and almost rolled over with nervousness.
Damn it—it's all that damn big cat!
Originally, Master Mutt could sleep peacefully for six or seven days as long as he finished his lunch, but he was knocked over half by that big black cat! Woke up after only four days of sleep! It will take at least three more days, how can it hide it
Moreover, this damn big black cat was on a hunger strike, refusing to eat what it gave, and insisted on running up to find someone, so it had no choice but to lock it in the hall temporarily.
"Da da, I order you, tell me who arranged this! Why do you want to do this?"
"Woo..."
Unable to resist the order, Da Da writhed her chubby body in pain, and could only answer honestly.
"Yes... It is the order of His Majesty the Marshal. He said, let you sleep for a few days."
"Major General?" Mutt was taken aback, "Why?"
"can not say."
"... tell me."
"I can't say it!" Da Da was about to cry with a bitter face, "Marshal's orders are the highest authority, Da Da absolutely can't say it, if you say it, the self-destruct system will be activated, woo woo woo."
Mute raised his hand and looked at the information ring on his wrist. The blue-black metal ring jumped for a moment, then stopped immediately. All the signal light frequencies of this villa are blocked by a special invisible barrier, and all signals cannot enter or exit. The boy gritted his teeth, a blue light flashed in his pupils, and he disappeared into the room.
Soon, his figure appeared above the villa, rushing out of the barrier covering the villa. He looked down at the ground below, closed his eyes, and his consciousness quickly expanded in all directions.
Canaan, Japheth, Sarah, Eber, Tina—
He called his companion by name.
come here! Come to me now!
Soon, with a few swishes, several figures appeared beside Mute.
"what happened?"
"Mute?"
"How did you—"
"Aren't you sent away by the marshal?"
"I obviously can't feel your consciousness—"
When the visitors saw Mute, they all showed extremely surprised expressions, and talked in a hurry.
Mute didn't care about listening to them, and looked around, and landed on the girl with short flaxen hair. He flew over and grabbed Sarah's hand.
He asked nervously, "Sarah, is there something wrong with the Marshal?"
...
Four days ago, because there was a small-scale rebellion near the Emperor Star System, the emperor ordered Marshal Troll to go to suppress the rebellion in person. Therefore, the marshal's ship Ishtar went to the Emperor Star System through the starlight transition point, and the marshal led the fleet to personally conquer.
On the way to suppress the rebellion on the second day, it was suddenly attacked by a large number of pirate fleets, and fell into a bitter battle due to ammunition shortages and military strength problems.
On the same day, Emperor Xing suddenly changed, and the emperor issued an edict, claiming that Marshal Troll was powerful and intimidated the emperor, and announced to the world that all noble forces should come to Di Xing to serve the king, kill the marshal, and use the Qing Dynasty's side.
On the third day, the nobles of the three parties who accepted the emperor's edict personally led their elite fleets to surround the Emperor Star System, and fought for a whole day with the fleet of Marshal Troll, who had just finished fighting with the pirates and was still exhausted.
On the fourth day, the ammunition and energy of the fleet under the command of the marshal were almost exhausted. In desperation, they were cornered by the coalition forces of the three nobles, unable to escape, and the fleet suffered heavy casualties.
...
Use body as bait.
After listening to Sarah's words, these four words popped out of Mutt's buzzing and chaotic mind.
The nobles of the other three forces advance and retreat together, and it is difficult to capture them. If this continues, the stalemate is likely to last for a long time. However, for the young marshal, the longer the stalemate lasted, the better it would be for him. After all, he is young, and he can kill those old opponents, but there is no one who can match him among the next generation of noble forces.
It's just that Marshal Troll is not willing to take that smooth road, and he is unwilling to wait for such a long time. Therefore, in order to defeat the opponent as soon as possible, he chose to go slanted with his sword and take risks with his soldiers.
[I will give you whatever you want.]
[I only want you.]
...
The Marshal's fleet has been cornered by the forces of the three-party fleet and cannot escape.
There is no escape.
... ... ...
The boy turned his head and looked blankly at the distant sky. The morning sun illuminated his somewhat pale face.
There was a heart-wrenching sense of panic seeping out of his body little by little, and he couldn't explain why, it seemed to be a premonition that made his hands and feet feel cold.
Using the body as bait, the soldiers are in danger.
That is a dance step on the tightrope of the abyss, if you are not careful, you will be smashed to pieces.
[wait for me.]
