Chapter 116: No Martial Ethics
…I was confused.
I stupidly didn't react and just stared at Milan blankly.
I never thought that I would get a word from Milan, a blessing and expectation, and only for me.
Not only was I confused, but the "Joshuas" who were always whispering in my head were also confused.
Milan's words were like a shot of medicine. After being injected, the "Joshuas" turned into cleared germs and suddenly "disappeared". My mind became more peaceful than ever before.
I…in my fourth life, I found my “self” again when I was 18 years old.
Milan held my face and wiped away my tears weakly but patiently. His expression was still cold. He looked very tired. There was not a single wrinkle at the corners of his lips, as if he had never smiled in his life. There was no trace of time or smiles on his lips or the corners of his eyes.
Because his nerve tentacles were still entangled with my glands, I could suddenly feel that Milan's emotions were the same as the lines on his face, thin, shallow and brittle, like a dry pond. Even if you stick your head in to drink water, you can only drink fishy mud.
It suddenly dawned on me that I was going to kill him again.
He persisted for a year in resisting the family's glandular surgery, and remained in a state of stress for a whole year. This state hurt him deeply. If he stopped the treatment, he would quickly enter a period of decline in a short period of time.
I thought that this was how his family tortured him until he was too weak to resist, and then threatened him with death and the safety of his comrades, before he finally agreed to the marriage.
At that time, I was divided into two halves. Half of Joshua wanted to take revenge on his family immediately, and the other half of Joshua said sorry to Milan.
But Milan didn't blame me. I could never understand Milan's thoughts quickly.
I apologized to him repeatedly.
He said it was okay.
No matter how many times I said it, he patiently responded to me.
I was overwhelmed with emotion, my tears soaking his hospital gown, and I listened to his heartbeat slowly decreasing.
Why is it this time again?
Milan opened the door of care to me, but I don't understand why he did that, but he opened the door.
At that time, I put my face on his chest and asked him, "Are you willing to marry me?"
Milan stroked my head twice for the last time and fell into a long sleep.
I don't feel sad.
…
What?
Yes, you heard it right.
I don't feel sad.
Milan of the fourth generation opened the door of care to me. He gave me gifts and encouragement that belonged to me alone. This was something that the "Joshuas" before had been seeking but could not get. Now that I have it, why should I be sad?
He fell asleep and I didn't leave. I disappeared with him into the storm nebula.
At that time, I felt that the next life would be the end of reincarnation.
Milan would open its arms to me when I became a colonel at the age of 18.
My mind was still confused at the time and I only remember this, so at the beginning of the fifth life, 12-year-old Joshua was very healthy. All the crazy "Joshuas" were suppressed by me, and I merged into the spirit of the fifth life Joshua.
…what?
…
How can you be so stupid.
Didn’t I say that in my fourth life I was a stitched monster, which means that my personality was unstable and I could become a parasite in the consciousness of a certain Joshua at any time?
…
Sorry, I'll be more polite.
…
The fifth generation.
I came to my fifth life full of confidence. The 18-year-old me was contained in my young body. I began to join the military, hoping to become a colonel even faster than in my previous life.
And I knew the real reason why Milan had to return to his family, so I intervened.
…Well, that’s a bad approach.
Why is it bad?
You stupid...
…could you please stop asking me stupid questions.
I was young and impulsive at the time, and I went to the front frequently in order to gain military exploits. I made myself a star target and a bayonet that never failed.
I have great potential and a bright future.
If I intervene in the military politics of the Second Army, doesn't it seem like the First Army is too ambitious and can't wait to split the Second Army?
…
I ignored countless small uncontrollable risks because of my anxiety, arrogance and sense of security.
[Author's note: At this point, Mr. Joshua suddenly turned around and apologized to Mr. Milan. It took 15 minutes. From Mr. Milan's skilled attitude and method, it can be seen that this is not the first time that Mr. Joshua has made such a mistake.]
…
In the fifth life, Milan's identity was exposed ahead of time because of my stupidity and arrogance.
The only good thing amidst all the misfortunes was that he returned to his family in good health.
But this is just my way of escaping reality.
How could it be considered lucky that he was exposed?
Milan Clement the Fifth hated Joshua Warsaw.
The miracle of Christmas, the words that blessed me and expected me, all disappeared with the cycle of reincarnation.
In the many lives that followed, I had only one dream left.
It was a nightmare. The nightmare had a pair of deep black eyes, filled with cold hatred, disgust, contempt and hatred.
Milan is a very polite bug.
He never left any grounds for gossip or criticism, and he never once expressed his dislike for me, but I knew, and not just me, but anyone who knew Milan and Joshua knew, that he hated me.
…
Why don't you explain?
…
Of course I tried to explain, but he didn't believe it.
I have said that Milan's years of military service have tempered his tough and ruthless character. He is a generous god of death.
Do you really think death is a positive word?
In the fifth life, because I caused him to be exposed, I deliberately approached him many times and expressed my love to him.
Milan was not soft on me.
He's killing me.]
[Fuck...] [No, are you guys serious about this...?] [It makes sense... Joshua is too unstable, he will fall sooner or later.] [Milan-sama killed him... did he do it himself or? He was strangled to death by Milan-sama...] [Some XP is enough!] [Think about it, it's not illegal!] [Didn't Joshua think about this in the first life! He imagined Milan strangling him to death with her hair, and in the fifth life Milan-sama was exposed, and Milan-sama helped him realize his dream, how generous!] [God damn it, interpreting the Generous Death God Theory like this!]
…
Cat's eyes, a palace bedroom somewhere.
“Knock, knock.”
"Come in."
The bedroom door was pushed open from the outside, and the servant came in respectfully, "Mr. Gobelier, Mr. Valentine is awake."
Gobelier sat at the desk next to the French window. The smart ring on his wrist projected a half virtual screen. He murmured softly, "Oh, it's already this late."
"Go tell His Excellency that today we will be promoted to Saint level..."
The servant kept his head down. After several minutes, he still hadn't heard the second half of the etiquette officer's words. He didn't dare to raise his head and could only wait.
Fortunately, more than ten seconds later, the etiquette officer continued speaking.
"…Rest this morning. He went to bed late last night. Let him sleep a little longer. If he can't sleep, give him a glass of goat milk with a little night swan pollen. Make sure he gets enough sleep for 9 hours."
The servant felt a little strange, but did not think much about it. He just thought that the etiquette officer was concerned about your Excellency and worried that lack of sleep would affect your thoughts.
After all, Mr. Valentine will be an adult in September, so it is never too much to pay attention to him before then.
The servant responded and went out quietly.
After the door was closed, Gobelier's kind expression disappeared. He stared at the projection screen of the intelligent computer ring, and his dark pupils slowly shrank into needles.
…
[…
Are you asking me if I'm sad?
Of course I was sad, but not because Milan killed me.
It's because Milan hates my attitude.
Death means nothing to me. It only kills my body and destroys my honor.
But Milan's hatred... can tear my soul apart.
Before I died in my fifth life, I was thinking, if I pursue Milan in the way that I succeeded before, I will succeed in my fourth life! Death prevents Milan from loving me, so I will chase him even if I step on death.
I once had my skin pressed against Milan's in my armor, he held me in his arms, wiped my tears, and gave me words of blessing.
His door of care is indeed open to me, isn't it?
At that time, I believed that I could enter that door again by strictly following past experience, and I believed it.
So when I failed, my entire thinking, soul, and even goals collapsed.
I had succeeded before, and was just one step away from getting in. I took it for granted every night of waiting that Milan and I would fall in love, get married, and have children.
I overcame countless obstacles and deaths in pursuit of Milan, but the fifth time, I finally felt a despair worse than physical annihilation.
I am the only bug on this road.
Milan once hugged me, and I believe what he meant at that time. Our souls were so closely intertwined.
The fifth Milan's disgust and hatred are also real.
…
You are asking, what are you asking... ahem.
I was indeed desperate and sad at the time, but despair still couldn't defeat me.
…
I love Milan more than my own life.
I survived countless deaths and waited for Milan's gaze and embrace.
We can do it.
However, those external factors, the identities, responsibilities, goals and obsessions of different groups are the sharpest knives.
They severed the bond between Milan and me.
From the sixth life onwards, I decided to become those things, defeat them, and control them.
I couldn't stand Milan's hatred and abandonment, so I paved a new path with my body, reason, thoughts and all my goals.
If I didn't know that Milan once opened her arms to me gently and peacefully, if I didn't know that Milan once was willing to open the door of care to me, if I didn't know that Milan once wished me happiness and freedom.
I might not be so crazy as to treat death as a threshold that I tirelessly cross over again and again.
But I knew all this, so I completely destroyed all my escape routes and moved forward without looking back.
I had my chance, I was going to make it happen, I was swimming against the tide of despair.
I knew Milan would respond to me, so I didn't feel scared.
Sixth, Seventh, Eighth…]
Gobelier exited the live broadcast room, took off the smart ring and placed it on the table. He turned his chair and faced the garden outside the balcony.
The sun was shining brightly at noon, the flowers in the garden were dripping with water, and the emerald green dotted the gorgeousness of the blooming flowers, which was a beautiful sight.
But Gobelier's face showed no joy or sadness, his eyes were dark and his expression seemed empty.
Some distant memories tumbled in my heart, and the shadow of a nobleman quietly emerged.
He once smiled and said: Gobelier, I bless you!
He once said expressionlessly: Do you think I am as stupid as you? You coax me with such promises without any definite reality, Gobelier. How old are you and still believe in the saying of true love?
Gobelier leaned his head slightly against the back of the chair, his soft and beautiful silver hair flowing like a waterfall, covering half of the soft chair.
The hand wearing the gold ring touched the abdomen from time to time. Even though Gobelier knew clearly that the pregnancy cavity had been removed long ago, he would always subconsciously touch that place when he was free from thoughts.
The room was quiet, but suddenly a laugh was heard.
No matter what tricks this Fate was playing, Gobelil really wanted him dead now.
…
“4%.”
"Wow, Mr. Shi! Our total plot progress has reached 60%!!!"
The system said regretfully: "Teacher Shi, why is the plot point provided by this new character not as generous as before!"
Shi Cunjin didn't raise her head: "The plot points will become more and more difficult in the future. If you can still rely on the story to carve out some points, you should feel that this character is sensitive."
The system shuts up and continues upgrading.
Shi Cunjin wrote faster and faster, his fingertips turned red from tapping. Luo Lai and Luo Li woke up from a nap leaning against their uncle, and when they woke up they found their uncle was still working.
Feeling extremely bored, Rowley suddenly reached out and touched his uncle's cheek, pinched a strand of his uncle's hair, and paused for a moment.
I only heard Luo Li ask in a puzzled voice: "...Uncle, your hair is falling off?"
Shi Cunjin's heart skipped a beat.
I've been so busy these past two days that I almost forgot!
If you don't touch up your hair after it dries, it will cause dandruff!
Shi Cunjin immediately stopped typing and stood up with his backpack: "I'm going to the bathroom, you guys sit still."
Luo Lai and Luo Li nodded obediently.
Bill looked over when the young master stood up. The young master pointed to the bathroom and he closed his eyes to rest again.
Six hours had passed since the light rail started, and after two days of traveling, they had been escaping with all their might, and now, sitting in the temporarily safe carriage, everyone was drowsy.
Shi Cunjin walked across the driveway and into the bathroom. He carefully turned on the ventilation circuit and let the system check before taking off his hat.
The hat was full of paint chips.
Shi Cunjin raised his chin again and looked at the scale on the neck ring in the mirror. The level of inhibin was 36%.
He opened his backpack and searched for the inhibin box. He picked it up and took another look. When he opened it, he found that there were only 10 inhibin tablets left.
If everything goes well, I can make it to the 30th. If not...
Shi Cunjin injected the new inhibin into the neck ring, and then thought of another way. The most urgent thing was to escape first.
Just when Shi Cunjin pulled the scale on the neck ring back to the safe value of 85%, the carriage shook violently!
Shi Cunjin grabbed the medicine box and broke out in a cold sweat. Suddenly, he noticed that the smart computer ring suddenly popped up a message indicating that the network was disconnected!
Wasp!
The system's screaming sounded synchronously in Shi Cunjin's mind: "Teacher Shi!!! The Wasp Corps is hypocritical!!! They did not follow the rules set by the Third Corps!! After the entire fleet successfully entered the planetary orbit, they directly dropped signal jammer bombs on the surface of Planet 56! They blew up all the signal base stations in the southern half!! "
…
At the same time, the live broadcast room has a black screen, and the channel system prompts: The anchor's signal is unstable and the link has been disconnected. Please refresh and try to re-enter later!
The comment section is erupting like a volcano again.
【? !!! 】
【Wait! Wait, wait!!】
[Sudden disconnection? ? ? Impossible!! The wartime stipulated by the two groups has not yet arrived. They can't bomb the planet at this time!!]
…
[Help!] [If Fate didn't deliberately try to escape from us, then there is only one possibility, he is on a military planet or a habitable planet where the two groups have already exchanged fire! !]
In a flash! The official website of the First Army was bombed: [The two groups violated tradition!!! He must make the Wasp and Hornet Army disclose the coordinates of the planet where the firefight is happening at this moment!!]
Countless audience applications overwhelmed the First Army's official website.
But this time, no matter how they searched the entire Internet and all the star regions were in an uproar, Fate's live broadcast room never lit up again.
…
Five hours later, at 17:00 on the 26th, at the four major star region cosmic customs.
Boom, boom, boom.
"Heart rate 97, nerve wave stability rate 95%, healthy."
"It is now 17:05 on the 26th. Most of the troops have passed through the black hole point of the Storm Nebula and are sailing smoothly into the seaport of the four major star regions. It is expected to enter the black hole point of the four major regions in 10 minutes."
"You have been dormant for 20 hours. The Black Ares is fully autonomously driving to escort you. Welcome back, Major General Kashu."
The cold voice of the armor AI played in Anushka's ears. He opened his eyes and the starry sky view of the cosmic customs appeared on the display screen of the console.
Anushka sat up and pinched his brows. The reclining chair under him transformed into a driver's seat. He turned off the automatic driving mode and methodically controlled the manual control and customs connection route. Instructions were issued one after another through the team's public radio.
This time, the Wanderer dispatched a total of 500,000 elite troops to the four major star regions, most of which were stationed at 1-3-5-7 advanced troops, and very few were stationed at 2-4-8.
These elite soldiers were promoted two levels to take up high positions: lieutenant to colonel, colonel to general, and general to branch chief.
Anushka is not the only general officer sent this time. She is just the youngest among the generals. The other major generals and lieutenant generals sent together are all over 60 years old and are jointly responsible for this resident operation.
"I have connected to the East Tiangong sector channel and have split up into teams. See you at the carnival, brothers."
A deep voice came from Anushka's earphone, and the team leader channel began to respond one after another from the captains of various units.
The large army dispersed, and the corresponding black hole point flashed white light. Several starships and huge armored army formations disappeared one after another, indicating that they entered the black hole orbit of the corresponding star region.
Anushka followed the crowd and responded in the leader's channel: "I have applied for access to the Western Andromeda Region route. See you at the carnival."
He began to process the signature guarantee documents sent by the Space Customs, and from time to time he would issue orders to certain military formations on his team's public channel to adjust their positions so that the formations could enter the black hole point faster and more smoothly.
Everything is ready, the Warframe AI reminds: "Countdown to enter the black hole channel: 10, 9..."
Suddenly, Anushka heard a discussion on the regiment's public channel that had nothing to do with the mission or the military.
Group internal channel:
[What the hell! Allen! Look at Fate Station! Am I still asleep? ? I haven’t been connected to the Star Network for more than ten hours. Fate’s real IP has been dug out by the worms. He is trapped in the war zone and can’t get out? ? Why is he in the war zone? ! ! ]
[It's a dead ball. The Wasp hates Fate so much. If they search the world for him, won't he be executed on the spot?! ]
[Stupid! You posted it on the public channel! You are killing yourself! ! ]
After three screams, the group’s channel fell into dead silence.
The female soldier who entered the wrong channel was terrified, fearing that Captain Kash would speak in the channel and bring down terrible military punishment.
However, until the large force of the Kashu Group entered the black hole channel, Captain Mai remained silent.
…
Inside the Black War God.
The armor AI coldly reminded: "Heart rate 179, nerve wave stability rate 61%, 60%, 59%... According to your authorization, I will inject you with a neuroleptic in 10 seconds."
Anushka, who had been sitting in the driver's seat for a long time, reached out to turn off the reminder sound. After turning it off, his hand stayed on the button for a long time without moving.
Anushka had a blank expression on her face, her arms were tense with muscles, and her pure black armor was bulged out, looking extremely ferocious.
Veins bulged on his neck and forehead, especially on the sides of his neck. They were like a few thin green snakes, winding all the way from his collar to his chin, trembling slightly with his breathing.
Anushka's face was expressionless and stiff, but her skin and body could not hide the rage and fury that was almost bursting out.
He was like a black rock that fell into a volcano, and the thick, hot emotional magma was about to melt the stone skin.
After an unknown amount of time, Anushka's eyes suddenly moved, her gaze moved to the left and down, landing on the smart ring on her wrist.
Anushka's expression was pure indifference, her pupils did not change at all, and it looked as if nothing could get through to those strange eyes.
He remained in this state and looked at the smart brain ring for five minutes before reaching out to turn on the entertainment mode of the smart brain ring.
There is no network in the Black Hole Channel, but when we stopped at the Space Customs just now, there was a star network.
Anushka's smart ring has always been operating in dual mode, military/entertainment, and switching does not affect the reception of information in a certain mode.
His entertainment mode interface has been hanging on Fate's account homepage, with a floating window of the live broadcast room next to the homepage.
Now, Anushka clicks into the entertainment mode, which retains the interface before the network disconnection.
The screen of Fit’s live broadcast room is black.
Anushka saw the black screen, her eyelashes fluttered, and a self-explanation came to her mind: It was my StarNet link that first…
Before he could finish his self-explanation, he saw a new message updated in the Bug Introduction column on Fate's homepage, which had never changed.
@Fite stay tonight
Introduction: [Involved in the civil war between the two groups, the star network is unstable, and updates are suspended. 】
…what?
A few seconds later.
Anushka did something stupid. He reached out and wiped the screen of his smartphone, as if a few wipes would be enough to erase the new notification.
He rubbed harder and harder, and soon cracks appeared on the smartphone screen.
As soon as the crack appeared, Anushka's hand froze and her stiff fingers slowly clenched.
His mind became two beings.
One is asking: What are the requirements and scope of the advanced position-changing war?
One of them answered: The war can only end when one of the two regiment leaders dies. The two armies enjoy the highest war immunity in the fixed war zone and can use any weapon to attack the other side's source of manpower planets. They can commit crimes by their subordinates and do not have to abide by any modern laws.
The fixed war zone is a killing hell and a purgatory. Whoever is still standing after the last kill is the winner and the new superior legion.
Fixed war zones will notify citizens in that zone to evacuate in advance. Those who cannot evacuate or who do not have time to evacuate can only endure the seven-day killing war. The victorious army will plunder the financial resources of the defeated army to compensate those citizens who were accidentally injured.
But the prerequisite is that the citizens can survive the replacement war.
One is asking: What is the survival rate of citizens accidentally injured?
One in answer: 0%
The voice of the answer: No unarmed citizen can survive in the Shura Field of the Higher Legion. The starship-armed magnetic cannon is a rain of fire from heaven, repeatedly falling on the surface of the planet, and even the deepest underground air-raid shelters will be blown through.
If the magnetic cannon fails to successfully penetrate the military base's defenses, the second wave of meteor weapons will be biological gas.
After the skyfire comes the plague, which will pollute the water and air in every possible way, forcing out the soldiers hiding in the military base. Finally, the senior army lands fully armed and harvests the enemy's heads like mowing grass.
The last high-level legion replacement war in history took place in 1550. The defeated legion suffered more than 60 million high-level insect casualties, its racial system collapsed, and no citizen of the war zone planet survived.
Why haven't you withdrawn from the war zone yet?
Didn't you tell me you were retreating?
Why was this notification issued?
Why did you…?
You promised me you would get out safely.
You promised me...you...
Anoushka sat there stiffly. Because of the internet outage, he had no idea about Fate's current situation. He was not sure why Fate was unable to retreat. The unknown and sinister guess stabbed Anoushka's nerves like a knife.
He started working as soon as he woke up. His intelligent brain ring was always in military mode. Bringing a large number of armed forces into the four major districts was an important matter, and Anushka would not be distracted by important matters.
He has a ruler in his heart. Once a limit is crossed, he will no longer distinguish between public and private.
Anushka has always adhered to the code and military law in her official duties.
So during the short ten minutes he was able to connect to the Star Network, he did not switch to entertainment mode to watch Fate's live broadcast room.
This was the first time since he started following Fate that he didn't pay attention to Fate when there was a StarNet link.
“…Just once.”
Anushka's mind was so full of excitement and fear that he couldn't tell whether it was a thought in his mind or just talking to himself.
"This is the only time I'm not looking at you."
Anushka gasped twice and she didn't know when she held her breath and almost suffocated.
His stiff body suddenly softened, Anushka leaned his head back and tilted his face up, his eyeballs moving slightly uncontrollably. AI injected him with two shots of tranquilizer, but his heart rate still rose rapidly.
Losing control brings out one of Anushka's most disgusting memories.
Fate's bleeding hands, he was bleeding a lot, and his heartbeat was weak.
Anushka gritted her teeth, making a horrible crunching sound.
The madness, anger and violence that Fate had tamed began to burn again in Anushka's heart.
The bloody history of the legion that he had learned in the past replayed in his mind endlessly, and photos of corpses with various tragic deaths flashed before his eyes.
I just didn't look at you for once.
Anushka swallowed the broken teeth and felt the intense growth pain of new teeth growing rapidly in his gums. His eyes turned horribly red and the bestiality in his mind erupted like never before.
Anushka ordered the entire group to speed up, forcing the entire group to operate at overload and rush into the Western Andromeda Ring at the highest wartime speed.
The second directive required that as soon as the Internet was connected, the military media department within the regiment thoroughly investigated the network information related to Fit's IP, the combat intelligence of the two regiments and the advance route.
Screw your respect.
I can't bear it anymore.
