Randall was live-streaming his footage from countless angles. He was silent for a while, but smiled indifferently.
He opened his lips lightly, and his words were calm and firm: "The empire will protect every male worm from harm, but it will also treat every worm's life equally."
"Any worm that violates the laws of the empire and endangers the life of other worms, whether male or female, the empire will make the most just judgment in accordance with the law."
The audience was stunned by his calm and firm words, and the audience before the live broadcast was stunned for a while, and they didn't respond to what their marshal said for a long time.
In this silence, a burst of applause suddenly sounded.
"Clap clap-"
The insects looked at them in amazement. It was Evel, the adjutant beside Marshal Randall. He was expressionless, but looked up at the marshal in white uniform with reverence in his eyes, and applauded steadily.
Immediately, all the insects present also reacted, and there was a long-lasting warm applause.
On the same day, #Marshal Randall's Fair JudgmentMale# ranked first on the Star Network's hot search list.
[Hot post on the forum: Marshal Randall speaks, judge the male worm fairly! ]
[l1: The marshal is so handsome! I announce that from today onwards, he will be my idol after General Lu! ]
[l2: I heard right? The marshal said that all the worms that violated the laws of the empire and endangered his life, should those domestic violence female worms and male worms who used lynching at home also be imprisoned? ]
[l: The marshal is really tough! I love it! ]
[l4: I don’t think it’s realistic at all, so I’m just talking about it. The male protagonists who killed the females with domestic violence are still alive and well? ]
[l5: Hehe, even if the marshal said it counts, even if the females in the male family were killed, they would not be willing to sue their male master. ]
[l6: Upstairs is too real... ]
[l: But what the marshal means is that if a female worm dares to sue, the empire will give a fair trial according to the law, right? ]
[l8: The marshal is not a court judge. Is the judicial power independent? Haven't you seen that now, a lot of insects have taken the title of the Supreme Court of the Empire, and they haven't responded yet? ]
[l9: The latest battle report on the front line! The Supreme Judge has responded! ]
[l10: Copy the original words of the official title: As Your Excellency the Marshal said, men and women are equal before the laws of the empire. @RandallCherricks]
[l11: Ahhh! As expected of the marshal's speech, it is so weighty! ]
[l12: Hehe, then according to this, the "Imperial Male Insect Protection Law" and the "Male Insect Rights Treaty" should have been abolished long ago? ]
[l1: After all, don't males have a lot of privileges? And do you licking dogs dare to sue? When one or two see real insects, they can't wait to post it upside down! ]
[l14: Upstairs is so extreme, we have a bottom line and dignity for licking dogs, okay? ! ]
[l15: whisper bb words, if there is a male who is willing to marry me, if I can lick a dog, I have no bottom line and no dignity...]
[l16: Are you sick upstairs? ! Lick the male, please go out and turn left to go to other posts, okay? ! ]
[l1: Are you sick on the 15th floor? Actually licking the male worm in this post, you should get rough! ]
[l18: By the way... don't you care about that male country? Does the marshal mean that the organization is really all males? ]
[l19: Isn't it? ! Why would the male worm engage in such a dangerous organization? I was on the Avenue of the Stars at the time, and a bomb came flying, which almost scared my soul out! ]
[l20: Could it be that the males still think they have no rights? Inexplicable, do we females still abuse them? They are not willing to serve them with delicious food and drink every day? ]
[l21: +1, I raise both feet in favor of going upstairs! ]
[l22: I hope the military will catch them soon and end everything soon. Lest they really make a big accident, then the imperial law will really not be able to spare them...]
Lu Chen said that he had met Gu Yu once when he was a child. Lu Chen could never forget the side of strangers who met by chance. After that, the side at the banquet could only be regarded as a reunion after a long absence.
But Gu Yu has no memory of the encounter when he was a child, and he would not have expected Lu Chen to remember it for so long. The first time he saw Lu Chen when he grew up was not at that banquet.
— but on live TV.
Gu Yu looked at the handsome Marshal Randall on TV and vaguely remembered Lu Chen he saw on the live broadcast for the first time.
That year, fifteen-year-old Gu Yu was still living a hard life. That year, it also coincided with the five-yearly "Venus Star Cup" Empire Star Armor Competition.
This well-known interstellar competitive competition is hosted by the Fifth Army of the Imperial Army. The origin of the name "Mengxing Cup" comes from the emblem of the Fifth Legion: the morning star with two slender willow branches arching the bathroom.
And the reason why the grand occasion aroused heated discussion among the whole people is that the championship prizes of this competition are jaw-dropping - a morning star trophy, and the privilege of entering the military directly seal major.
What does it mean to be a direct major
It means that you don't need to start from scratch in the military at all, the starting point is already the rank of major.
And what does the rank of major mean
A company captain! It can govern a whole ten armored teams, ten imperial ships, a hundred armors, and a thousand army worms!
have power
, followed by status, power, and wealth.
This seems to have been the case since time immemorial.
Therefore, in the five-year Venus Cup, winning the championship has almost become synonymous with one step to the sky.
Even if you don't work hard after entering the military and stop at the rank of major all your life, it is a position that most insects can't climb for a few lifetimes.
And Gu Yu, who was working hard in the past, with so much love for Jia, deserted in class. With his math teacher gushing in the background, he buried his head under the cover of a book and peeked at the live broadcast of that year's Venus Cup Finals on his bare brain.
In the live broadcast, the tall female with black hair and black eyes, driving even a tattered armor, was neat and slick and gorgeous in half an hour.
For this finals, I was ready to touch the fish for a few lessons, and I was shocked in front of the brain.
He didn't even finish a math class, and the final, which was watched by the whole empire, was over.
Gu Yu, who has never had a memory, remembered the name "Lu Chen".
At the award ceremony, the host asked the champion which prize he wanted to choose. Gu Yu knew that the prize for this year's champion was different. In addition to the 100-year-old Morning Star trophy and the rank of major, there was also a new one from the Imperial Armour Research Institute. The latest research and development of new combat armor.
The first time that A, called "Empire Star", appeared on the scene and showed it in front of the entire Empire audience, all the insects were shocked.
- Different from the excellent combat data and configuration, its exterior design is extremely concise, as a silver streamline, silent and tall sitting in the lights and sights of the audience.
Like an emotionless war weapon, the outer shell flashed cold-blooded silver.
Gu Yujin's eyes had some eager light, and as a fan of Buddhist armor, he looked a little greedy.
But inexplicably, he felt that the silver armor called "Empire Star" was somewhat similar to the tall, taciturn female insect in front of the camera... It seemed to match very well.
Incompatible with the enthusiasm and madness of the crowd, under the spotlight, he and it seem calm, silent, alienated...
The host went on to say: "But unfortunately, we all know that in addition to the Morning Star trophy, only one can be chosen from the rank of Major and the 'Empire Star' armor."
"I don't know our champion, have you decided which one to choose?"
Gu Yu was stunned for a moment, but suddenly felt a little pity.
In the eyes of most insects, armor, no matter how good it is, is just a foreign object that cannot be attached to other values. The rank of major is a real power and status.
Once you get this prize, you don't have to work hard at all, the next second of power and wealth will come rolling in immediately.
But Gu Yu felt a little pity.
He didn't know whether it was a pity for the armor or the female worm. He also thought they were a good match.
But as long as his brain is not broken, he will choose the rank of major. This so-called prize selection, at first glance, is used by the show as a gimmick.
However, the black-haired female who had been silent for a long time spoke up, her voice deep and cold: "I choose the 'Empire Star'."
The whole place sucked in a breath of cold air. The host was incredible: "What, what did you say?!"
Gu Yu was also momentarily incredulous.
The female worm's cold voice did not change at all. It was as smooth as before, and she repeated it quietly: "I choose the 'Empire Star'."
This time, I completely understood, and the whole audience was in an uproar.
And the tall female named Lu Chen raised her head and looked at the silent tall silver armor, her cold and deep eyes finally revealed a hint of imperceptible eagerness.
"I like it," he explained so simply.
After remembering Lu Chen's name, Gu Yu, who has always had a bad memory, remembered that face again.
And those deep, pond-like, eager eyes.
- Gu Yu has an intuition that the hidden undercurrent in the quiet pool is a kind of eagerness, a kind of paranoia that is willing to go crazy if it can't.
And that kind of paranoia is an emotion that Gu Yu, who has no aspirations, no dreams, no great joy and sorrow, no enthusiasm, cannot understand.
So five years later, when he was twenty years old, at that banquet, when he met an imperial knight who had climbed up from the bottom of the military, but was awarded the title of major general at the age of twenty-two, he recognized Lu Chen at a glance.
Is the owner of the "Empire Star".
It is also the owner of those eyes five years ago.
At night, un010 sank slowly, passed the automatic opening, and fell into the underground car.
Gu Yu took the elevator upstairs. He thought that at this time, Lu Chen should go to sleep on the second floor, so he wanted to take a bath and sleep on the first floor after drinking a cup of nutrient solution.
But as soon as he got to the first floor, he noticed the faint light coming from the living room.
Gu Yu approached wearing slippers, while the black-haired female was sitting cross-legged in the corner of the sofa, with her back to him, under the warm yellow lamp, she was intently burying her head and looking at the light-brain display.
Gu Yu deliberately lightened his footsteps, so that Lu Chen, who was familiar with the sound of his footsteps, was not even half alert and let him walk behind him.
Gu Yu could clearly see what monographs Lu Chen had been reading on Guangnao these days. The title of the book is printed right on the footer.
- "A Design and Maintenance Encyclopedia".
His shadow was projected on the optical brain screen, and Lu Chen turned his head, slightly surprised: "Master, are you back?"
Gu Yu stood behind the sofa and bent down naturally, passed the two through Lu Chen's neck, and rubbed his white hair on his head.
into his shoulders.
"Charge." Gu Yu said.
He stretched out like a cat, rubbing his head on Lu Chen's neck, as if he wanted to rub away all the tiredness from today in Lu Chen's place.
Lu Chen turned his head slightly, carefully brushed away the broken hair on his forehead, and printed a kiss: "Are you hungry? I left you a meal, which is still hot in the kitchen."
With Gu Yu's head still resting on his shoulder, Lu Chen only saw the white haired head with a bundle of long ponytails slightly moving up and down, so he directed Chubby and the others to fetch it with his light brain.
There is no rule that meals must be served at the dining table at home. Chubby and chubby delivered the dishes to the coffee table in the living room.
A table of hot dishes came out.
Gu Yu was surprised: "Major General, this is the dish you left for me...?" Who can keep so much for dinner after cooking so much
Lu Chen said naturally: "I like to see you eat more. Even if you can't eat it, it's good to try every dish."
Gu Yu was speechless. I finally understood why there were so many cars in the family: it was entirely because Gu Yu didn't make a choice, so Lu Chen waved and bought whatever he could. Reflected in cooking, Lu Chen also did the same.
But after so many years, Gu Yu had gotten used to Lu Chen's character and habits, so he didn't say much, he accepted it and sat on the carpet in front of the coffee table, picked up chopsticks and started eating.
He always eats slowly and doesn't have a big appetite for food. If it weren't for the fact that the body would automatically signal that he was hungry because he didn't eat, Gu Yu would probably have completely forgotten about one day's meal.
Lu Chen brightened the warm yellow light of the table lamp, so that Gu Yu could recognize every dish on the table. Their family has never liked to turn on all the lights in the room at night. Gu Yu was too lazy to turn on all of them, so it was enough to leave enough space for their own activities. Lu Chen was simply not used to being too bright.
His military career has made him basically accustomed to the life of working at night without lights. Too bright, but not used to it.
Gu Yu was eating something. Lu Chen sat behind him and looked up at Gu Yu who was eating for a while.
In order not to affect Gu Yu, Lu Chen removed the large display screen projected by his optical brain, and put on a monocle, so that only one worm could see the screen.
The two insects were doing their own thing with each other. The night and the room were silent, but the lights were warm.
When Gu Yu was almost full, he took his chopsticks and started poking east and west on the plate, thinking of the test Lu Chen gave him. And the book that Lu Chen was reading just now.
Armor.
The "Empire Star", which was once brilliant with its owner, is now announced to retire with its retired owner. After restoration, it was sealed in the storage compartment of the Fifth Legion.
Gu Yu knew that an imperial knight who used to be invincible on the battlefield with his armor would not be able to travel in the starry sky with his armor anymore, and that would be a bad feeling.
Just thinking about it, his heart felt empty for a while, as if a large space had been vacated for Lu Chen.
He couldn't help being sad, sad, breathless, and loved by him.
Then, why did Lu Chen read books related to A? How did you feel when you read these books? Nostalgia, loneliness, remorse... or something else
If possible, if the current technological level of the empire can really do it, Gu Yu would rather replace his healthy legs with Lu Chen, so that he can return to the armor he yearns for, the starry sky, and the battlefield he yearns for.
No matter how nice Gu Yu usually says, he still understands what Lu Chen really yearns for.
This may become a lifetime regret, but regret can exist, and Gu Yu didn't want this regret to eventually become a depression in Lu Chen's heart.
He put down his chopsticks, leaned back on his upper body, leaned on the sofa and looked up at Lu Chen, his eyes earnestly said, "I found a job today, Lu Chen."
Lu Chen rubbed his head: "Well. I know you can."
Gu Yu grabbed his and kissed him gently in his heart: "Tomorrow will be better, right?"
Lu Chen was stunned for a while, then smiled faintly, as if the sun was shining through the thick clouds in winter.
"With you, of course my tomorrow will be better," he said rightfully.
Gu Yu was heartbroken by his laughter, and kissed the one with clear joints, from one fingertip to the other, not letting go of any of his ten fingers, and said the same: "Me too."
"With you here, of course my tomorrow will be better."
