[Ishtar] Sailing slowly in the starry sky.
As the flagship of the youngest general-level star in the history of the empire, it is different from the majestic atmosphere of the flagships of other long-established generals, but it is extremely aggressive and full of vigor.
The pitch-black hull, the blue-black metal pattern, and the sharp curves, just like its owner, like a sharp blade out of its sheath, showing its sharpness.
Inside the hull, the outer wall's invisibility function has been turned on.
Looking from the inside to the outside in the main hall, you can see the endless starry sky without hindrance.
The endless starry sky of the universe presents a deep black tone, and the mysterious dark blue traces seep out of the tone due to the countless flickering stars, like a colorful oil painting slowly unfolding.
The magnificent galaxies are flashing stars in the distance, slowly rotating like a vortex, and from time to time, you can see a river of rubble rushing past the ship, at first glance it looks like Passing by yourself is generally thrilling.
Such a beautiful starry sky has long been commonplace for people who live on warships all year round.
And in the main hall of Ishtar, the only country bumpkin opened his mouth and looked straight at everything in front of him.
This is the legendary sea of stars.
The black-haired boy was so emotional in his heart, he just wanted to imprint the incredible beauty of the starry sky in his mind.
In front of him was the endless starry sky, but when he stretched out his hand, what his fingers touched was a wall with a cold metal feel.
It is clearly in front of your eyes, but you can't see any traces, completely invisible.
And this strange experience of seeing nothing when there is something in front of him made him caress the invisible cold metal wall tirelessly, laughing while touching it. Silly.
The young man is enjoying himself here.
Behind him, an invisible plasma barrier has been opened, presenting a half-open sphere, covering the main seat above and the surrounding range of tens of meters.
The slightly distorted air indicated the existence of a barrier that isolated internal and external sound waves and some electronic waves, so that people outside could not hear the conversations of the generals inside.
"Now I can't see that this stupid little guy is so bold."
The person who spoke was a red-haired man wearing the same style of blue-black military uniform. He raised his eyebrows frivolously, and gave the black-haired boy opposite him a sideways glance from the corner of his eyes.
[Pretending to be too aggressive is not good, really.]
God knows how he, who was following the boss back then, suppressed his urge to pound the wall and laugh wildly when he heard that little guy's words.
He felt that he had exhausted all the willpower in his life in that short ten seconds before he could barely hold back the laughter that was about to burst out.
Following the boss, he could only see the back of the boss. He really wanted to know the expression on the boss's face at that time. Even thinking about it now, he was scratching his heart.
...It's a pity that he didn't have the courage to go around to the front of the boss to take a look.
Thinking that my boss looks so disastrous to the country and the people, but no one dares to do anything wrong in front of him, isn't it because of the intimidating oppressive aura that comes with him
For the first time, someone dared to say that he was pretending in front of the boss.
Still such a little guy.
Hahahahahaha!
Oh my god, he wanted to laugh again.
He wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so he could only hold back, causing his face to be distorted at this moment, which was extremely weird.
And the young man standing on the other side gave him a sideways glance, and didn't bother to answer him, and took a step forward.
"Your Excellency Troll, what are your plans?"
asked the youth.
He has short blue hair, and the shoulder collar has the same silver pattern as the red-haired man next to him, except that he has two bars on his top, while the red-haired man only has one bar.
In other words, he was a lieutenant colonel one level above the red-haired man.
The youngest major general in the history of the empire sat quietly on the command seat of his flagship Ishtar, his slender eyelashes drooped slightly, casting light shadows on his fair cheeks.
The golden pattern with tassels on the shoulder collar represents his status as a general officer, with a golden stripe on it.
The shimmer cast a cool luster on his skin, and the jet-black hair ran down his fair neck and sank into his tightly buttoned neckline.
Jet black trousers wrapped his slender legs, and black military boots with shiny silver metal buckles stepped on the steps.
His hands rested on the armrest of the commander's seat, the white military gloves contrasted sharply with the black cuffs tightened around his wrists.
"I owe the Uriel family a favor."
He said lightly.
"Let him come here."
The lieutenant colonel with short cyan hair nodded and pressed the button on his side, the air trembled, and the plasma barrier disappeared.
He gestured to an orderly standing not far away, and the orderly turned around immediately, leading the black-haired boy who was still looking at the starry sky with a feeling of emotion.
"Tal Uriel is dead."
Troll looked at the other party, and the boy who was looking at him blankly turned pale when he heard these words.
He didn't give the other party time to digest the message, so he went straight on.
"He gave you to me before he died."
He said, repeating again what he had said to the boy not long ago.
"From now on, you follow me."
Is the old man dead
Mutt was a little dazed for a moment.
Thinking of the time he spent with that old man during the month, he suddenly felt a little sad.
However, the young man who was said to be the major general of the empire did not give him any time to be sad, but directly dropped a heavy shell, blowing his head unconscious all of a sudden.
follow him
Does this mean that he enlisted in the army
Just kidding, he used to be just an ordinary student, a frail and sick student.
What's more, he still can't speak enough lingo, and still has a half-knowledge of how to use technology products in daily life. How can he enter the army and fight in this state
You try throwing a primitive man into a tank
"I don't join the army!"
The black-haired boy shook his head vigorously and said.
"I won't join the army! I won't fight."
I dare not kill anyone.
Although the stars and the sea are almost every boy's dream, Mutt can clearly see the current reality. The current interstellar era is not a peaceful era, and he is not the material to be a soldier. He couldn't even point a gun at someone, let alone kill someone.
His reaction seemed to surprise the young major general, and he looked up at him.
He was still about to open his mouth to say something, when the big red-haired man next to him suddenly patted him on the shoulder.
"Not promising."
The red-haired man said so.
"But don't worry, the imperial law stipulates that minors are not allowed to join the army."
"I'm sixteen..."
Back then, the Allied countries had promulgated laws setting the global age of majority at fifteen, so it stands to reason that he was already an adult.
Just as Mutt was about to say this, he suddenly remembered that it was tens of thousands of years later, and the allied countries on Earth no longer existed, so he quickly shut up.
"Yeah, four years away from adulthood, boy."
"..."
That is to say, the current adult age is twenty.
Mutt thought.
It seems that the lifespan of human beings in the future has been greatly increased, but it is not known what the average lifespan is.
"I will be your guardian."
The young major general spoke again.
He doesn't seem to like to talk very much, and he seldom talks, but his tone gives people a sense of oppression that as long as he opens his mouth, he will be the final word.
Then, he turned his head and his eyes fell on a certain female soldier on one side.
"Shar, take him down."
...
……………
"In view of the fact that the proportion of minors is decreasing year by year, the empire has now stepped up protection measures for minors."
A crisp female voice sounded in front of him.
Mutt followed behind the female soldier, bright blond hair dangling in front of his eyes.
It was a tall and slender woman, her beautiful long blonde hair was tied up obliquely, wrapped around one shoulder, and the ends of her hair hung down on her towering chest.
"Minors without guardians must be sent to designated shelters for minors."
"Your grandfather Tar Uriel has died. Before he died, he hoped to entrust you to the care of Major General Troll, and the Major General has already agreed."
"That is to say, your guardianship has been transferred to Your Excellency the Major General."
The silver-and-black military uniform wrapped the proud figure of a female soldier. She led Mutter all the way to the door of a room, turned around, slightly bent her eyes, and showed a formulaic smile to the boy.
"So please rest assured that Your Excellency the Major General has no intention of enlisting you in the army. On the contrary, His Excellency the Major General will place you on Planet Roy, which is one of the safest and richest planets."
She smiled and said, "Besides, that is also the territory of the major general. As long as you don't kill anyone, you can do whatever you want on Roy's planet."
"..."
So you're trying to persuade me to be a dude on that planet, so don't be shy, are you
Mutt thought so embarrassingly in his heart.
"Also, please tell me the type of woman you like."
"what?"
"According to your preferences, we will pick ten women you like to wait in the residence before arriving at Roy's residence."
The female soldier showed a formulaic smile, and said the above sentence very naturally, which made the boy instantly confused.
He froze for a moment, thinking that he might have heard wrong.
"Pick, pick... What, what does this mean?"
He asked blankly, stuttering because he was so stunned.
The blond female soldier smiled at him.
"Please give birth to an heir as soon as possible to continue Uriel's surname. This is also the responsibility of Your Excellency the Major General."
"!!!"
The boy who was completely dumbfounded shook his head decisively, desperately.
"No no no no—I don't think he needs to have this responsibility to me—"
To Mutt's desperate refusal, the female soldier still responded with a sweet smile.
"Please tell me the type of woman you like."
"... I said, sister, I am a minor after all..."
The boy blinked his big eyes, trying to be cute to the big sister.
Forcing minors to do this and that will definitely not be allowed by your imperial laws, right
The blond female soldier was unimpressed.
"Because the fertility rate is declining year by year, in order to promote the birth of heirs of the people of the empire, the imperial law stipulates that regardless of whether they are adults or not, they can bear offspring at the age of fourteen."
"..."
What the hell is this imperial law!
"If you don't have a particular preference, then I'll arrange it for you."
The blond female soldier smiled and said.
"No, this, I, I think this is disrespectful to women! I can't use them as reproductive tools!"
And I don't want to be a breeding pig!
The boy who put on a righteous expression roared in his heart.
You just said a lot of things, Barbara. In a simple sentence, don’t you want to raise me in a mansion on some planet to be a breeding pig and give birth to youngsters!
"Please don't worry, those women apply in advance on a voluntary basis, because they can get enough pay, and similarly, men also have the same type of occupations on a voluntary basis."
The female soldiers still had flawless professional smiles on their faces.
"If you have no other questions, I will take my leave first. You can go to rest. I will wake you up in advance when you sail to Planet Roy."
Seeing that the female soldier was about to turn around and leave, it was too late, the black-haired boy reached out and grabbed her wrist.
He held her hand tightly.
Grit your teeth hard.
Look, come, only, can, send, big, move, done.
He thought so hard.
"no need!"
The boy gritted his teeth and said every word.
"... It doesn't matter how many women you find."
He looked at the other party with a distorted expression and tragic eyes, and spoke in an extremely painful tone.
"I only like men."
The author has something to say: Note:
Ishtar: The goddess of war in Sumerian mythology, symbolizing Venus, also in charge of love.
set up:
Mutt's time was a little more than a hundred years later than modern times. The earth has no countries, and there is only one unified alliance.
The approximate level of science and technology is that some humans have already lived on the moon, and the basic construction of the Mars immigration base has just begun.
