The war started silently and brutally.

The day before, the people were still gossiping about the emperor's new lover, and the next day, an urgent war report was sent back. The Zerg invaded the empire's border planet under the guise of a stellar magnetic storm, and engaged in a fierce battle with the troops stationed there.

The empire was in a tense atmosphere, and even the capital planet far away from the battlefield and the students in the Royal Academy who knew no suffering no longer joked heartlessly.

Su Yi had just been quiet for a while, but as the war broke out, she became the focus of everyone again because of Huo Jun's work on the front line. But this time it had nothing to do with gossip, and those girls who usually laughed and joked came to comfort her one by one.

"Suyi, don't worry too much. Senior Huo is so powerful, he will definitely kill all the Zerg tribes without leaving a single piece of armor."

"Yes, even the S-level Zerg tribes are no match for Senior Huo, let alone those shrimp soldiers and crab generals."

"Senior Huo is the strongest person I have ever seen, he will be fine!"

"Suyi, I'm looking forward to attending your royal wedding with Senior Huo, you must invite us then."

Several people talked to each other, and after they finished speaking, Suyi smiled and said, "Thank you, I also believe that he will defeat the Zerg tribe and return triumphantly."

After separating from the girls, Suyi could still hear them whispering, "Let's not talk about war-related news in front of Suyi in the future, she will definitely be sad if she hears it."

"Oh, why do we have to fight? The Zerg are so abominable."

"Think about this time yesterday, everyone was discussing what His Majesty did with his new girlfriend, and today..."

"Don't talk about it. I feel so ashamed when I think about how our soldiers were desperately defending this country while we were chatting and laughing."

"I suddenly feel a little disgusted with His Majesty. Senior Huo was fighting the Zerg on the battlefield, but he found a lover who was younger than his son. He only knew how to enjoy himself every day. It's so disheartening."

"Pfft - let's not discuss this."

Su Yi was not too worried. With today's technology, if someone is injured on the battlefield, as long as he has a breath left and is treated in time, he can be saved. Moreover, Huo Jun is very powerful and has armor to protect him. Ordinary Zerg cannot hurt him. Even if he really encounters a difficult opponent and unfortunately dies, Su Yi has a way to bring him back to the world.

So Huo Jun, apart from suffering and pain, will not worry about his life anyway.

Su Yi had a premonition that this war would last for a long time, so he analyzed the reasons based on the data he collected and some information provided by Mao Tuan Tuan.

The causes of wars in the past cannot escape the competition for living space and resources.

Humans develop technology and expand from Earth to the universe, transforming many planets that were originally unsuitable for human habitation into habitable planets. However, the Zerg are just the opposite. They reproduce rapidly and are born to destroy and plunder, just like locusts. After consuming all the resources in one place, they will go to grab the next place.

Therefore, humans and Zerg cannot coexist.

Sue discovered that in history, the invasion of Zerg was not continuous, but had intervals of varying lengths. She guessed that whenever the Zerg population developed to a certain extent and the resources were about to be exhausted, they would start a war, one to grab territory, and the other to consume each other.

After a war, even if they cannot seize new resources, the remaining Zerg can survive on the few resources they had because many of their own kind died on the battlefield. When the population expands again and their living space is squeezed, they will choose to invade again.

In other words, as long as the Zerg are not completely eliminated, the struggle between humans and them will never stop.

However, if there were no Zerg, the struggle between humans and humans might escalate due to the disappearance of external threats, and the current minor frictions would develop into internal struggles, and then the world would be torn apart and the struggle would continue.

Absolute peace is almost impossible.

Because of the war, Su Yi originally thought that her monthly contact with Huo Jun would be interrupted. As a result, on that day of the month, her communicator finally rang after a few hours.

The first time Huo Jun contacted her, he was too excited and didn't think too much, so he woke Su Yi up in the early morning. After that, every time, he calculated the time difference and video-called her during Su Yi's rest time, but this time he postponed it until she fell asleep.

After only a few seconds of thinking about the special ringtone, Su Yi answered it.

Huo Jun's image appeared in the room, darker and thinner. Su Yi was too lazy to repeat this every time, but compared with the last time, he was indeed more unkempt.

His face was covered in dust, his chin was covered in stubble, his hair was messy and flying everywhere, his combat uniform was torn in several places, the buttons on his chest were broken, revealing his bronze chest, which was also covered with a mixture of sweat and dust. Compared with Su Yi who was wearing a white nightgown, the two seemed to come from two different worlds.

But Su Yi felt that her dog was still very handsome, even more handsome than before. He no longer had a boyish aura like before, but a wild charm that belonged to an adult man.

Of course, Su Yi would never admit that this was the result of her three-hundred-meter-thick filter.

"Are you going to sleep?" When she was looking at him, Huo Jun also stared at her intently, his eyes burning and hot, and his voice was a little hoarse because he hadn't spoken for a long time.

Su Yi leaned against the head of the bed with the quilt in her arms, her long hair spread out softly, "I'm ready to sleep, but I'm not sleepy yet. How are you doing?"

"Not good, but not too bad either." Huo Jun said. The team he led had already gone on several missions. Fortunately, no one was killed, but the battle losses were still considerable. Several team members were seriously injured and are still lying in the medical warehouse.

He had a few wounds on his body, but they were not serious. He treated them a little and refused the proposal to enter the medical warehouse for treatment, because today was the only day this month that he could contact the outside world. If he missed it, he would have to wait until next month.

Su Yi also noticed the occasional blood stains on his clothes. She reached out and gently touched the image in front of her.

The image was virtual. Even if Su Yi passed through it, Huo Jun would not feel it. But at this moment, he clearly felt that he could feel her body temperature where Su Yi touched him.

He also reached out and virtually held the hand of Su Yi's image, holding it in his palm as he often did before, and squeezed it carefully.

"I miss you very much." After a long silence, he spoke.

Su Yi looked up at him, and instead of saying "me too", she asked, "Do you need me to find you?"

Huo Jun glared slightly. He knew that Su Yi was very powerful, but he never thought it would come to this.

You have to know that he is now on the battlefield, which is countless light years away from the capital star. At the beginning, their fleet went through several jumps and took several days to arrive. Su Yi's simple words of "I'm going to find you" mean that she needs to be alone in the universe, crossing several light years, risking encountering Zerg or interstellar pirates at any time, to reach this desolate and dangerous battlefield.

This is no longer within the scope of human ability. At least in Huo Jun's cognition, the strongest person can't do this.

Maybe others will regard this sentence as a big joke, but Huo Jun never doubts Su Yi, he blindly believes in everything about her.

He himself did not realize this until now. If someone had said a few months ago that he would take another person as his belief, Huo Jun would not even bother to express his disdain. But now, his whole body and mind are trying to prove this point.

He opened his mouth, but for a moment he did not know whether to say good or bad. After a long time, he smiled helplessly and said, "Aren't you afraid of scaring me silly?"

Su Yi blinked and asked him, "Are you silly?"

"Not yet," Huo Jun curled his lips, "but if you told me that you have a tail, maybe I would really be silly."

"Do you like the ones with tails?" Su Yi supported her chin with her hand, frowned slightly, and made a somewhat distressed look, "I don't have a tail, but if you really like it, it doesn't matter if you have one. Do you want a full set, such as cat ears or rabbit ears?"

Huo Jun couldn't help but imagine the picture in his mind, and then he felt his nose itchy, and quickly put aside a certain thought, lest he didn't fall down because of the injury on the battlefield, but lost too much blood because of her few words, which would be too embarrassing.

Su Yi smiled and added, "A fox one is also OK."

Huo Jun touched his nose, "We'll take it slowly in the future..."

Both of them knew that Su Yi's strength was abnormal, but she didn't say it, so he never asked, and didn't even show his surprise too obviously.

Su Yi felt that, regardless of other things, at least in terms of psychological endurance, probably no one could match her dog.

"Are you really not curious?" Su Yi asked him.

Huo Jun paused and said truthfully, "Very curious."

Not to mention how old he was when he started pursuing power, even an ordinary person would be surprised to know that someone has such ability.

But Huo Jun chose not to ask. In addition to trust, he was actually afraid deep in his heart that if he got to the bottom of it, Su Yi might find him too annoying and boring, and then turn around and leave.

Compared with the possibility of losing her, nothing else mattered, not even the powerful power he had always pursued.

Su Yi could probably guess what he was thinking, and with satisfaction, she comforted him, "In my opinion, there is nothing that cannot be said. When the time is right, I will tell you everything."

Huo Jun nodded, and then he looked at her, and she looked at him, and they fell silent for a moment in a strange way.

After a few seconds, Huo Jun coughed lightly, and his fingers unconsciously gestured in the air, "You really don't have..."

"Huh?" Su Yi tilted her head and waited for him to finish.

He uttered two words vaguely, and probably no one except himself could hear what they said.

"What is it?" Su Yi asked patiently.

Huo Jun coughed twice again artificially, and then said seriously, "You really don't have a tail?"

Su Yi glanced at him, "You have a tail, your whole family has tails."

The author has something to say: The dog was aggrieved: I had one originally.
