It was an endless grassland, the tall green grass swayed in the wind, and when the wind passed by, they were like undulating waves. On the edge of the grassland, there is a vast forest that has no end in sight. Tall trees stand on the ground, and black and green vines can be seen spreading in the depths, and the branches and leaves hang down in the interlaced space of the trees.
Mutt was standing on the grassland, at the edge of the forest, the undulating green grass covered his white soft boots. He stood there, looking up at the cloudless blue sky, and the sun was just right, shining warmly on his body. When the wind blew, it shook the green grass under his feet, and lifted the soft cloak as light blue as the sky behind him, like the light-colored wings spread behind the boy.
There was a black figure running in the grass, the soft grass brushed against the tall and vigorous black body, its running speed was like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, the black figure had already reached Mutt's around.
The panther slowed down, approached the boy standing there, and gently leaned over to bump the boy with its huge head.
Mutt withdrew his gaze from looking up at the sky, and looked down at Caesar beside him. Facing those icy blue eyes, he laughed, knelt down on the grass, and stretched out his hands to encircle the dark body.
He hugged it, closed his eyes, put his face on the warm black fur, and Caesar, who was hugged by him, bowed his head and licked his cheek lightly.
The green grass under the feet was undulating, one man and one beast gathered together, their ears and temples rubbed together, and the wind blew the light-colored cloak and passed over Caesar's black fur.
The black panther stared at the person holding it, its icy blue eyes were so focused at this moment, as if it knew what was waiting for it.
"Mute."
Someone appeared from the air nearby and landed on the grass.
The girl walked up to Mutt and looked at Caesar reluctantly.
"Is this really good? Are you willing?" She looked at Caesar, pouted and said, "Actually, it's not necessary? Caesar is yours in the first place, why would you want to..."
Gently stroking the black panther in his arms, the boy's eyes were gentle but firm.
"Sarah, you have to remember that no life belongs to another life."
Those thousands of lives, be it human beings or Jia, are after all just one member of countless beings.
No life is nobler than any other life, and no life has the right to control another life.
Mute said so, and slowly let go of Caesar's arm. Caesar squatted on the grass without moving, staring at him with ice blue eyes.
The boy smiled, leaned over, and lightly rubbed Caesar's fluffy head. Then he reached out and pushed Caesar.
After he pushed like this, the black panther stood up slowly, took a few steps forward, and looked back at him again.
The boy smiled at it, raised his hand, and pointed to the vast and boundless forest.
"Go, Caesar."
He smiled, pointing forward.
"Your true compatriots are out there... go back."
Caesar stood there, turned his head to look at Mutt for a long time, and then turned back again. He looked at the dense forest shrouded in black shadows in front of him, that strange world, a world he had never seen before, but it made him The blood of the ancestors in its body burned and boiled.
The blood of its body, as well as the soul memory passed down by its ancestors, are telling it that it is there, that place is where it should go, and that place is its true home.
As if being tempted there, it stepped forward. At first, he just walked, and later, he started to run faster and faster, like a black lightning speeding across the endless grassland.
In the end, the black shadow sank into the depths of the dense jungle and disappeared.
"Ugh... Caesar."
"Don't make a sad face, Sarah, aren't you happy that Caesar has returned to his home, to his brethren?"
"But, but... I'm so reluctant."
The girl stared anxiously at the place where Caesar disappeared, and said with her face crossed.
Mutt laughed.
"Don't worry, it's back home, but it won't forget us. As long as you miss it, you can come here to play with it. When it's evening, we will go back to our respective homes and be like friends. Isn't that good?"
Sarah pressed her head and thought for a while.
"Well, you seem to be right when you say that."
She shook her head, and felt that what Mute said was right, so she stopped crying and showing an unhappy expression, and thought that it would be good to come and play with Caesar as soon as possible.
"Speaking of which, although the elders of the earth temporarily pressed the plan to control the Marshal and the others, what should we do next? It has been two or three days, and it is not an option to continue the stalemate."
Thinking of some of them looking at Mutt with a heartbroken look on his face, Sarah felt very uncomfortable.
Hmph, those people have never been with Mutt, so how do they know that Mutt is good? They have never been with Marshal, how do they know Marshal is so good.
Mute and Marshal are the best together!
Sarah thought so.
To be honest, ever since Marshal Troll chased Mutt to the earth, and did such a thing for Mutt at the expense of discrediting herself, Sarah felt that she could safely hand over their Noah successor to Your Excellency the Marshal.
At the mention of this, Mutt also had a headache.
It's been three days, although he went to see the major general except for the first night, and he never showed up in the next two days, only occasionally peeking from a distance. However, the major general still maintained his calm expression, and he didn't seem to be unhappy because he hid and didn't see him. intention of.
Mute watched as the faces of the chairman and other earth elders became darker and gloomy day by day.
Ah, too...
Fighting with Robinvia's group of elites who have been on the battlefield and negotiating field all year round, it's no wonder that they are not crushed to death.
"Actually, Mutt, I said, you might as well elope with the Marshal."
Sarah made a serious suggestion to Mutt.
"You said you wanted to stay because you wanted to take us to rebuild the earth. Now that the earth is fine, you don't have to stay. If they don't agree, you can elope. If you are worried that they will stop you, call us Yeah, we'll stop you—"
She made random suggestions.
"Or simply say, you are going to supervise the marshal to ensure that the marshal will not reveal the secrets of the earth, is that good?"
"Sarah..."
"Um?"
"I have a task for you."
"what?"
"Caesar has just returned to the jungle. Although he is very strong, he can't adapt to this wild environment immediately, and there are certain dangers. During this period, you'd better follow him secretly and take care of him until he fully adapts. Until the wild. Remember, it’s best not to let it find out.”
In order to prevent this energetic girl from having a big brain and secretly doing things behind his back, Mutt decisively cast Sarah as Caesar's temporary nanny.
When he said this, Sarah's eyes lit up immediately, and she agreed very happily.
"Okay, Mutt, leave it to me! I will protect Caesar well, and I will never let him find out!"
"Ah, please."
Finally, this troublesome girl was solved.
...
……………
fourth day.
To be honest, Mute has already started to feel a little anxious.
He really couldn't think of a way to get the major general and the others to leave the earth. It would be useless to just avoid them like now, but if he went to see the major general, it would only make the major general more determined to stay.
And, more than that, since that day when he confessed that he and the major general are lovers, and he was not persecuted by anyone, the elders of Jia on the earth are facing a big enemy. Starting from the chairman of the meeting, people keep coming to him, saying It's chatting, in fact, they are constantly persuading him to recognize the true face of human beings, not to be deceived by human beings, to stop covering up human beings, and so on.
It was useless for him to keep repeating that he hadn't been deceived or anything. The gangs believed that he had gone astray and was abducted by humans, and they all wanted to bring him back to the right path.
During the rare free time, the elders, who had been defeated repeatedly, probably went to the major general to negotiate with them again, so no one was buzzing in his ears for the time being.
Mutt sat in the courtyard and rubbed his temples. During this period of time, he was taught by those Jia elders that his head was getting bigger. He was born as an elder, and they all played for his own good. He is not good. When he quarreled with them, he could only stubbornly refuse to let go.
Laughter suddenly sounded in the quiet courtyard where he was alone. It was the hearty laughter of a very familiar man.
"He looks bitter, it seems that he is very annoyed by those old guys."
Although many of the so-called 'old men' were younger than him, Robin unceremoniously referred to the elders of the group as old men. Anyway, it is said that the elders of the group were all three or four hundred years old. The above is not an old man.
The red-haired man laughed and walked towards Mutt with big strides. He was wearing a familiar military uniform with black background and silver stripes, and on his shoulder was the insignia of the junior soldier that had not changed for thousands of years.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, but your arrogance is getting bigger and bigger, Your Excellency Mutt. It's so difficult to meet in person."
He sneered sarcastically.
"How do you know I'm here... no, how did you come here?"
Mute subconsciously stood up and looked at Robin.
Ga on Earth monitored this group of humans very closely and forbade them to move around at will, so Mutt was surprised how Robin found him and came here.
"I'm begging... Well, that person should be named Canaan, um, that's right, that guy, I told him I had something to tell you, and he brought me here."
Robin shrugged and replied, "It's inconvenient for the major general to get away, and you know that everyone is watching his every move."
"Tell me something?" Mutter repeated Robin's words, paused, "Is it your words... or the major general's words?"
"Is there a difference? Anyway, it means the same thing."
The red-haired junior soldier spread his hands carelessly, walked over, and grabbed Mutt's shoulders without any hesitation.
"Hey, tell me the truth, what do you think?"
"..."
Both shoulders were clasped tightly by Robin, and at the same time Robin questioned him face to face, but Mutt didn't answer.
He lowered his eyes, as if unwilling to meet Robin's gaze, his thin eyelashes cast a light shadow on his face, and his lips were slightly pursed.
"I really don't understand you—at the very beginning, you said you wanted to go back to Earth, well, the BOSS said to accompany you back, you said you wanted to rebuild the Earth, and the BOSS also accompanied you, but in the end you just wanted to get rid of the BOSS yourself Let's go, what are you saying that humans can't return to Earth?"
Robin clicked his tongue hard.
"Who stipulated it? It's not up to you to decide whether we can return to Earth or not. Don't be too arrogant."
"… It's not like this."
The boy still lowered his eyes and made a low voice.
"It's not like this, what is it? It's wrong to abandon the boss in order to return to Earth, right?"
"You do not understand… "
"Of course we don't understand if you don't say it! I don't understand what you are saying, let me understand! Why are you being hypocritical here?"
Robin is irritable. It should be said that he has been irritable for more than four years. From the day Mutt left, the constant low pressure around the boss is too painful. He must follow the boss. People have felt the terrible low pressure so hard for four years-now I look back on it with bitter tears.
And all the suffering he has suffered in the past four years is all thanks to the ruthless little guy in front of him who abandoned his husband and son.
"It would be great if I could say it... It's just that I don't understand it very well, and I don't know how to say it... I can only say that this is a feeling. If you come to the earth, bad things will happen."
"Feel?"
"Yes, feeling."
"No evidence, no feeling, it's a fart! You just abandoned the BOSS just because of an illusory feeling?!"
"..."
Knowing that Robin would say that, Mutt sighed, quite speechless, but he could only remain silent.
He is also very distressed.
This feeling is only felt by him, not by Noah, let alone other people, he just vaguely feels that it shouldn't be done, it's not good, but he doesn't know exactly what will happen.
Seeing Mute bowed his head and said nothing, Robin took a deep breath, suppressing his temper that was about to explode, and he kept telling himself to be calm and calm.
He let go of the hands clasping Mutt's shoulders, took a step back, looked at Mutt, and suddenly grinned.
"Mute, do you know why you have avoided seeing the boss these few days, but the boss is still in such a good mood?"
"… what?"
Not understanding why Robin suddenly changed the subject, Mutt looked up in a daze.
The red-haired junior smiled at him meaningfully, opened his mouth suddenly, coughed a few times, cleared his throat, then raised his voice, as if imitating someone, and began to speak in a strange tone.
"Cough, cough, that...[I want to protect him, even if I am against you.]"
With a bang, the boy's entire face exploded.
"You, you, you, you - how do you know, know, know, know -"
Excessive shock and shame made his mouth stammer as if he was speaking in a knot.
One of his face was blushing uncontrollably.
Robin knew, so the major general also—
"Hmph, for a group of undefended guys, it's too easy to steal information."
Robin snorted.
"You speak domineeringly. Why do you only run away from the boss? Tsk, you obviously like the boss to death."
"you… "
The boy was blushing so badly one second, and a little bit dumbfounded the next second.
He also probably guessed that Robin and the others used some high-tech eavesdropping equipment to eavesdrop on all the information.
It seems that the people on Earth thought they could control these human beings, but in fact they had been seen through a long time ago. At the beginning, he was worried that the major general and the others would be really injured, but it was really useless to worry.
Mutt sighed.
In fact, to be honest, he also knew in his heart that although Jia had special powers, it was still far inferior to humans who grew up in a war environment.
If human beings are really determined to attack the earth at all costs, Jia will not be able to stop it at all.
"What are you thinking?"
In the face of Robin's inquiry, Mutt did not hide anything.
"I'm thinking, if you really want to attack the earth, how long can Jia last."
Robin grinned.
"Up to three days, this is still on the premise of releasing water."
"..."
"But don't worry, with you here, this place will be solid."
As Robin talked, he changed the subject again.
"So, what's your plan? Let me warn you first. Don't even think about abandoning the boss. It's best to obediently go to see the boss with me now. Lovers, it's okay to quarrel and have fun every once in a while." That's all, running away from home or something is over—"
"I said you..."
The red-haired man running the train with his mouth full was really unbearable to the young man, he raised his eyes and stared at him.
This stare made Mute startled.
"Robin."
"Why? Let me tell you, if you don't come with me to see the BOSS, I'll depend on you. I'll follow you wherever you go."
"It's not...you..."
Mute raised his hand, as if wanting to touch Robin's face.
Robin was taken aback by his action, and leaned back to avoid Mute's hand.
"What are you doing, I'm warning you, don't try to accuse me of molesting the boss's lover!"
He leaned back, but his body was shaking a little, and he couldn't stand steadily. He quickly took a step back, and then he stood still. With such a movement, he couldn't help but take a few breaths.
"Don't change the subject, Robin, your complexion looks bad."
"..."
Robin didn't say a word. He also vaguely felt that his physical condition was deteriorating these days, and he wasn't the only one who had this problem.
He once wondered if he was poisoned, and discussed it with Via. But these days, they didn't use the water and food that Jia gave them at all, they just used the nutrient solution they brought from Ishtar, so even if Jia poisoned the water and food, it was useless. And they also checked the body with a small therapeutic device to confirm that there is no toxin in the body.
He was thinking, and just about to speak, suddenly the metal ring on his wrist lit up.
The figure of a soldier was projected in front of Robin's eyes. The soldier's face was very pale, and he was panting quickly when he spoke, which was very difficult.
He said, "Your Excellency Robin, please come back immediately!"
"What? What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty Via has fallen!"
"what!"
Following Robin's shout, Mute's heart beat violently.
coming.
He thought, clenching his hands into fists.
That ominous... ominous omen that terrified him.
...
At noon on the fourth day, the human Major General Via and his five guards suddenly fell into a severe coma with unknown reasons.
