The Devoted Second Male Lead Decided to Favor Someone Else

Chapter 36: Bloody Rose (End)

Before Pei Yin could say "don't go" in time, Lu Shijin had already hung up the communication phone.

Pei Yin slumped back on the chair behind him, only thinking about the last sentence Lu Shijin said to him.

"Although I am an Omega, I want to prove that I will not lose to any Alpha. This is my lifelong wish. Your Majesty, if you really love me, please respect me and support my decision."

In the end, Pei Yin still didn't call Lu Shijin's personal terminal again.

He immediately went to the military headquarters, preparing to personally participate in commanding the battle against the Zerg invasion.

Most of the Zerg are huge in size, born with steel-like hard shells, extremely tenacious vitality, and relying on their large numbers and fast recovery ability, they often fight desperately.

Although the imperial army is out of the best, those who manipulate the battle mechs to fight are all flesh and blood. Once the mechs are damaged, the manipulators are almost certain to die.

In the huge combat command room, the atmosphere was solemn. Several generals participating in the command sat on both sides of the conference table, staring at the screen with solemn expressions.

On the screen is the central area of the Zerg battle, the green dots represent the number of imperial troops, and the red dots represent the number of Zerg.

Although the green dots and red dots have decreased to varying degrees, every time a green dot goes out, everyone in the command room feels a little more heavy.

The green dot will never turn on after it goes out, which means that the empire has sacrificed another excellent soldier.

The Zerg are well prepared for this invasion, sending "Destroyers" as the vanguard.

These disgusting bugs, which look like giant cockroaches, are not only very difficult to deal with, but also keep laying eggs.

These eggs are attached to the mech and will explode after a certain period of time, causing very serious damage to the mech.

Gradually, the number of red dots took advantage, and they marched towards the land in an overwhelming trend.

"Continuing like this is not an option. The Zerg have tried their best this time to fight to the death. We can't afford to lose and we must ask other planets for help!"

"But the planet that has a friendly relationship with us is 1,000 light-years away from us, and the reinforcements will take a day to arrive at the earliest. I'm afraid that the battle situation will be irreparable by then!"

"That's better than sitting here waiting to die! I'll go out and get on the mecha to meet the enemy now, and I'll earn if I kill one and kill two!"

Everyone looked at the person sitting at the top, "Your Majesty, I have to ask you to decide what to do!"

The young king's face was calm and unruffled, "How much combat power are there for all the troops?"

"All the troops have been assembled. In addition to those who have already been dispatched, there are still more than 50,000 soldiers staying on the ground."

"How many mechas are available for fighting?" Pei Yin asked.

"Less than... five thousand!"

Everyone's hearts cooled down, which meant that the remaining 45,000 people could only fight hand-to-hand with the Zerg.

Mechas with steel and iron bones are still incapable of fighting back against the Zerg, and mortals without protection, encountering them is tantamount to death.

"General Li, immediately send a distress signal to Meiya Star and ask them to send troops for reinforcements." Pei Yin stood up and straightened the brim of his army cap, "Select 5,000 soldiers from the remaining 50,000, Form a death squad to raid the left flank with the weakest firepower of the Zerg, and open up a battlefield for the frontal troops. Remember, this mission may never return, so sign up voluntarily, and don’t force it.”

"Obey!" That General Li raised his hand as a military salute, hesitated for a moment, put his hand down, and asked, "May I ask Your Majesty, who will lead the death squad of five thousand people?"

Pei Yin tightened his snow-white gloves, his blue eyes were resolute and decisive, "I am."

Opposition voices rang out in the command room.

"How can this work?!"

"You are the king of a country! Never!"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go on an expedition! Please let me lead the team to make a surprise attack, and I will not disgrace my life!"

"Don't even talk about it," Pei Yin smiled and swept across the faces of each general, "Everyone here is a hero who is loyal to the empire. I understand your loyalty, but how can you talk about having a king if you can't protect the country?" We all know very well that reinforcements cannot arrive in time, and these 5,000 people are our last hope. Those fighting on the front lines are all my comrades in arms. I can't convince myself to sit here and wait for the outcome of the war, and what Neither will, so please give me a chance to fight alongside them."

All the generals present have experienced hundreds of battles and made great military exploits to get to where they are today.

Some of them doubted Pei Yin's ability, or were dissatisfied with Pei Yin, but at this moment, they all respected their new king in awe.

"Your Majesty! We are willing to march with you!"

"Yes! I want to go too! With this old bone, I will shoot through the heads of several Zergs!"

"It is better to fight to the death than to live!"

"Stop arguing," Pei Yin interrupted their argument, and said in a deep voice, "You are all important ministers and veterans who have made many achievements, and the future of the empire depends on you, so let the young people have the opportunity to make contributions. "

Hearing that His Majesty the King was going to lead the army in person, morale was greatly boosted, and almost all of the more than 50,000 soldiers wanted to sign up for the 5,000-strong death squad.

Each general quickly selected 5,000 Alphas with the best physical fitness and outstanding mental power from the troops under their jurisdiction, and gathered them together to wait for the king's dispatch.

The battle situation ahead is stalemate, and the frontal forces urgently need an opportunity to tear through the Zerg army's defense line and launch a counterattack.

Putting on the battle uniform, the king stood upright on the general platform with his head held high, making his final speech before the battle.

"Soldiers, this trip is doomed to a narrow escape, are you ready?"

"Ready!"

"Very well, you have to remember that at this moment, you are not fighting for the empire, not for me! If our homeland is captured by the Zerg, everyone will have no tomorrow, so you are fighting for yourself, Including me, do you understand?"

"understand!"

"This operation is code-named 'Dawn'. I hope we can bring the dawn of victory to the empire tomorrow! Get on the mechs, warriors!"

The voices of 5,000 people were impassioned, and their arms shouted: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Victory! Victory!"

Mo Bo was also on the expedition. Before getting on the mech, Pei Yin asked him, "Is there still no news about him?"

Mo Bo shook his head, "I have checked the operator list of all the mechs, and found no blood... I mean the matching information of Major Lu."

The army's mechs must be authorized by the military to operate them. If Lu Shijin is already on the battlefield, he should be able to find out.

But after that day, Pei Yin never heard from Lu Shijin again.

Pei Yin lowered his eyes, hiding the worry in his eyes, "If I can't come back this time, when you see him, tell him..."

"Your Majesty! We will definitely win! You and Major Lu will be safe too." Mo Bo said with a firm smile, "What you want to say, Major Lu will definitely want you to tell him personally."

Pei Yin raised his eyes to look at him, and suddenly smiled, "Yes, we will definitely win!"

Five thousand mechas carried the hopes of all the people in the empire, marching towards the center of the battlefield in an orderly manner.

In the place where the firepower is the most fierce, the sky is densely packed with dark Zerg, which makes people's scalp tingle.

Pei Yin ordered the frontal troops to attract the firepower of the Zerg, divided the 5,000 people into two teams, and launched sneak attacks from the left and right wings of the Zerg army.

However, the defenses on the left and right sides of the Zerg army were in place, and the sneak attack did not achieve very good results.

The ammunition stored on each rack is limited, and many mechas have run out of ammunition and cannot be replenished, just like scrap iron.

The number of death squads continued to decrease, and the ammunition on the remaining surviving racks gradually became unable to support the ensuing battle.

Pei Yin ordered all the remaining members of the Death Squad to transfer their firepower to the relatively weak left wing. He drove the mecha to take the lead and rushed to the forefront of the firepower. Relying on his strong mental power, he flexibly manipulated the mecha to kill countless Zergs. A small hole was made in the Zerg's defensive line.

But the others were held back by the difficult Zerglings and couldn't cooperate with Pei Yin's offensive.

The bloody road that Pei Yin fought alone was about to become a dead end, suddenly! Hundreds of battle mechas appeared in the sky above the battlefield and came to support Pei Yin!

The shells of those mechs are all bright black, with red lines drawn on the surface to form a pattern of rose flowers, like black lightning bolts, descending silently and suddenly on the battlefield.

Mo Bo's excited shout came from Pei Yin's earphones: "Scarlet Rose! It's Lord Blood Owl!"

This group of Heavenly Soldiers was exactly the Bloody Rose elite led by Lu Shijin. They had long been lurking near the battlefield, waiting for the opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the Zerg.

Although the body of the Zerg race is indestructible, most of the Zerg races have low intelligence. They will send signals to each other and arrange division of labor. Among the Zerg race, apart from the queens, the intelligent insects have the highest status.

Bloody Rose has found out where the sapient worms are, right in the center of the left wing where the zerg are strictly defending!

As long as the intelligent insects are killed, these low-intelligence Zergs will be a group of headless flies, and they will be self-defeating!

Lu Shijin didn't know that Pei Yin led the army to conquer himself, he just thought that someone in the imperial army thought like him, capture the thief first and capture the king first.

A total of 500 people from Blood Rose came, and the number was small and inconspicuous, so they never attracted the attention of the army and the Zerg.

Lu Shijin has been observing the situation on the battlefield, and when he saw a mecha penetrated into the Zerg position, he knew that the opportunity had come!

The mecha belonging to Blood Rose launched an attack on the Zerg along the route that Pei Yin had flown, and opened the way with fierce firepower, unstoppable all the way!

After a hail of bullets, more than 500 mechs surrounded the location where the intelligent insects were located, regardless of the harassment of other insect races, they concentrated their firepower to bombard the intelligent insects indiscriminately.

The sapient is a huge tumor-like creature. Although the surface is not protected by a hard carapace, a thick layer of fat has accumulated to protect its central nervous system.

This layer of fat may be as thick as 20 to 30 meters in diameter. Unless a bomb can be buried in the sapient's body and detonated, it will not be able to completely kill the sapient in a short time.

On the battlefield, every second counts against time, and every thought is life and death.

Decisions are often made in just a second and a half.

The mecha that Lu Shijin was manipulating happened to be equipped with a heavy bomb, and his mecha was the fastest flying of all the mechas. He was undoubtedly the best candidate for the assault mission.

Looking out from the control room, Lu Shijin saw that the imperial army could no longer resist the attack of the Zerg on the frontal battlefield, and was retreating steadily.

There was no time for him to hesitate.

Over there, Pei Yin was surrounded by a small group of Zerg troops and fell into a fierce battle. Suddenly, he saw a black mech rushing towards the inside of the Zerg army not far away.

Facing the Zerg's interception, they did not hide or dodge. The weapon "Tudu" on the mech shot sparks, and shot and killed all the Zerg who tried to approach it, with the intention of killing them all.

For some reason, although he didn't know who was sitting in the mecha cabin, Pei Yin had a strong premonition that this person was Lu Shijin!

Pei Yin's heart almost stopped suddenly!

However, dodging left and right, he couldn't break through the encirclement of the Zerg, and was so anxious that he almost lost his position.

He could only watch helplessly as Lu Shijin rushed into the black army of bugs, was overwhelmed by the vast sea of bugs, disappeared without a trace, and his life and death were unknown.

Lu Shijin approached the position of the intelligent insect, and a spiral drill bit protruded from the front of the mecha, drilling a hole in the thick fat of the intelligent insect.

While manipulating the mech to advance into the intelligent insect, he notified the other members of Blood Rose to evacuate from the battlefield.

All the black mechs hesitated, followed Lu Shijin's order to stop fighting and flew away from the battlefield.

Mo Bo felt strange and asked Pei Yin: "Your Majesty, they withdrew suddenly, what should we do?"

Pei Yin suddenly understood what Lu Shijin wanted to do. He closed his eyes tightly, and then opened them again, his eyes filled with sorrow and regret.

Finally, he took a deep breath and said decisively, "Everyone, withdraw!"

Less than 50% of the 5,000 men he brought were left. The soldiers who were still alive had witnessed the sacrifice of so many comrades-in-arms, and their grief had turned into anger. The battle was not over yet, and no one was willing to leave the battlefield.

"This is an order! Withdraw!" Pei Yin's voice suddenly rose, trembling slightly uncontrollably.

His sacrifice must not be in vain...

All the mechas turned around and flew back. Mo Bo's mecha was next to Pei Yin and was about to turn around, but found that Pei Yin's mecha didn't move.

"Your Majesty, aren't you going?" Mo Bo shouted anxiously.

Pei Yin has already taken off the communicator and turned off the display panel, so that he can see the situation outside more clearly.

His blue eyes stared deeply out of the window, as if he could see through the darkness and see his lover's face.

Lu Shijin has already seen the beating central nervous system of the intelligent insect, which is shaped like a brain and keeps beating as if it is alive.

"Ah, sacrificing for righteousness, I'm really great, I'm going to be moved by myself."

Lu Shijin pressed the five-second countdown button for the missile launch, unfastened his seat belt, and leaned comfortably on the driver's seat.

"Convenience store, can you order a song so that I can greet death with the sound of music?"

711: "What do you want to hear?"

Lu Shijin closed his eyes: "Don't Cry For Me Argentina."

My prince, please don't cry for me.

If the lives of tens of thousands of people can be saved at the cost of sacrificing one person, even if there are tens of thousands of people, I will go.

I hope that with my sacrifice, the world's prejudice against Omega can be changed.

I am no worse than anyone.

At the last second of the countdown, in the sound of music to commemorate a great woman who fought for the rights and interests of the poor after becoming the first lady from a humble birth, the bomb detonated, and the flames shot up into the sky, mixed with the rolling heat wave, devouring everything!

Seeing that the flames were about to reach their position, Mo Bo quickly turned to Pei Yin's mecha, and accelerated with all his strength to push Pei Yin away from the range that would be affected by the explosion...

"The viewer's coolness value has reached 100%, and the plot completion rate is 100%. Congratulations to the host, you have successfully completed the task in this world. Do you want to teleport out of this world immediately?"

"no."

The Zerg's invasion plan was ultimately defeated due to the death of the intelligent insects. The Zerg's vitality was severely injured, and they fled back to the Zerg Planet. It may take a long time to recover before they can make a comeback.

The Empire ensured peace for a long time.

Although the empire won the battle with fewer victories and more victories, it won the victory at the painful price of sacrificing the lives of 100,000 soldiers and consuming countless weapon resources.

Of course, victory in the end is inseparable from the sacrifice of one person.

It was he who stood up at the critical moment and died together with the intelligent insects, which turned the tide of the battle.

A month later, in the post-war capital, the king held a memorial ceremony for the 100,000 sacrificed soldiers.

Eight soldiers in uniform strutted forward carrying a coffin covered with the imperial flag.

The people on both sides of the road who came to see them off held a bright red rose in their hands, watching the last journey of the hero who saved them.

"The knight who breaks through the darkness, the warrior who brings light, was born here and buried here."

This is the epitaph written by the young king for the hero.

Not so long ago, the king announced the repeal of all laws and regulations that unfairly treated Omega across the country.

Include "allowing Omega to participate in politics and the army" into the constitution, establish an Omega Protection Association, help Omega defend their rights, and severely punish all behaviors that harm Omega.

Although these policies will affect the interests of some nobles, none of these pedantic old guys dare to stand up and say no.

Because when the Zerg invaded fiercely, without the sacrifice of that Omega, these nobles would have already become a delicious meal for the Zerg.

What's more, Pei Yin received the support of various generals from the military, and no minister dared to oppose any decision made by the king.

After the funeral, Pei Yin returned to the palace.

After going through a battle, the young king not only received countless voices of support, but also his temperament changed greatly.

He became more mature and stable, his emotions and anger were not visible, and even when his lover passed away, he did not show excessive sadness.

It is more in line with the aura that a king of a country should have.

The king didn't go anywhere once he returned to the palace, and went directly to his bedroom.

In front of the king's bedroom, there is a large rose garden in which various rare varieties of roses are planted.

Every midnight, when you open the window, you can not only smell the intoxicating fragrance of flowers outside the window, but also hear the singing of unknown birds.

But it was not midnight, and the windows were not open.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows stood a man in a black cloak, without a mask on his face, looking out the window thoughtfully.

His shadow was reflected in the window, exactly like the man in the photo of the tombstone at the funeral that just ended.

Pei Yin approached him lightly, hugged him from behind, and kissed the man's ear, "I thought you would go to the funeral too."

Xue Xiao smiled at himself in the mirror, "It feels too strange to attend my own funeral. Besides, it's not auspicious."

"I promised you, and I did it." Pei Yin took off the disguise, with a childish grievance on his face, "What did you promise me? When will you do it?"

"Are you sure you want the boss of the dark forces to be your queen?" Xue Xiao turned around, pointed at Pei Yin's chest, and said with a chuckle, "Aren't you afraid that your ministers will find out and join forces to rebel against you? "

"Don't be afraid," Pei Yin raised his eyebrows indifferently, "They dare not control me, besides, Blood Rose also made great efforts in the battle with the Zerg, as long as your subordinates are willing to submit to the government, I will give them every Personally a great position.”

Xue Xiao shook his head in disgust, "Excuse me, thank you for your kindness, they are used to being free and free, and they don't like to be bound by those rules and regulations. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Since they live on this planet, they can't stand by. Watching their own homes destroyed."

"What about you? You also like freedom, don't you want to be by my side?" Pei Yin frowned sadly, just like a resentful husband who was abandoned by his wife.

"No one doesn't like freedom, and no one would be willing to be a nightingale kept in a cage." Xue Xiao touched Pei Yin's face, his eyes became gentle, "Besides, you love the eagle and not the nightingale, right? Why force to be with you day and night, you just need to know that I have you in my heart, and I will come to see you often."

"Then when did you have me in your heart?" Pei Yin seemed to be convinced, and his blue eyes lit up with excitement.

Xue Xiao's trick: "Longer than you think."

Pei Yin blinked, "Will it be longer than the first time we met? Could it be when we were studying in the military academy?" He recalled the scene at that time, with sweetness on the corner of his mouth, "Is it love at first sight?"

Xue Xiao shook his head, "No, it's not love at first sight, it's been longer than that time, it may have happened in a previous life."

Pei Yin knew that he was teasing himself on purpose, but what is there to be dissatisfied with hearing such romantic words of love

"I love you too, whether it's the previous life, this life, or the next life, the next life, I will love you as always."

Xue Xiao raised his hand and put it on Pei Yin's shoulder, where he had clenched his teeth, and slightly curled his lips: "Me too."

The two hugged and kissed in front of the window, and behind them was a large piece of roses blooming brilliantly, bright red like blood, just like their passionate and pure love.

The end of a good show does not mean the end of the story.

The temporary farewell is also to pave the way for the next reunion.

The author has something to say:

Explain the ending of each small world. Gongshou is not a real character in the play, but an actor. So after the play is over, Gongshou will leave and go to the next world to continue acting.

Of course the story in the play is still going on, of course Jinjin in the talented painter is not dead, and he and his uncle are happily together

Every world will not be tragic, after all, I am a sweet writer, huh
