Chapter 2:

[Ishtar] sails slowly in the starry sky.
As the flagship of the youngest general star in the history of the empire, it is different from the solemn atmosphere of other long-established generals, but it is extremely aggressive and full of vigor.
The dark hull, blue-black metal texture, and sharp curves are just like its master, like a sharp blade and sharp edge.
Inside the hull, the outer wall stealth function has been turned on inside.
From the inside to the outside, you can see the endless starry sky without any obstacles.
The cosmic starry sky, which can not see the end, presents a dark black hue, and the mysterious dark blue traces are exuded by the constantly flashing starlight in that hue, like a colorful oil painting slowly unfolding.
The magnificent galaxy flashes stars in the distance, slowly swirling like a vortex. From time to time, you can see a gravel like rivers coming in, passing by beside the ship. At first glance it looks like Brushed the general thrills from myself.
Such a beautiful starry sky is already commonplace for people who live on warships all year round.
In the main hall of Ishtar, the only hunk was opening his mouth, straightening everything in front of him.
This is the legendary sea of ​​stars.
The dark-haired boy was so emotional in his heart that he could not wait to imprint the incredible beauty of the starry sky in his mind.
The starry sky was endless in front of him, but when he stretched out his hand, he touched the wall with a cold metal touch.
Obviously in front of me, but could not see any trace, and was completely invisible.
And this peculiar experience that has something in front of him but can't see anything makes him tirelessly caressing the invisible cold metal wall and grinning as he touches it, in the eyes of others, it looks a little bit stupid.
The teenager is happy here.
Behind him, an invisible plasma barrier has been opened, showing a half-spherical sphere, covering the upper main seat and the range of dozens of meters around it.
The slightly twisted air shows the existence of this barrier that isolates internal and external sound waves and some electronic waves, so that people outside cannot hear the conversation between the generals inside.
"I don't see it now. This little dumb guy is so bold."
Talking was a red-haired man in the same blue-and-black military uniform. He raised his eyebrows lightly, and the corner of the dark-haired boy slanted the corner of his eye.
[Pretend to be too bad, really. 】
God knows that when he was behind BoSS, when he heard the little guy ’s words, he suppressed his urge to laugh at the wall and laugh at the moment.
He felt that he had exhausted his whole life's willpower in those short ten seconds, so that he could hold the laughter that was about to burst out.
He could only see the back of BoSS behind BoSS. He really wanted to know what expression was on that face of BoSS at that time.
... Unfortunately, he didn't have the boldness to go around in front of BoSS to take a look.
I think that my BoSS looks so blue and sullen, but no one dares to do it in front of him, isn't it because of the depressing oppressive gas field that comes with it?
For the first time, someone dared to say he was acting in front of BoSS.
Still such a little guy.
Hahahahahaha!
Damn, he wants to laugh again.
He wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh, so he could only stun, causing his face to be twisted at the moment, strangely terrible.
The young man on the other side gave him a sideways glance, too lazy to take care of him, and took a step forward.
"Hello Troll, what are your plans?"
The youth asked.
He has short blue hair, the shoulder collar is the same silver pattern as the red-haired man next to him, but his top is two bars, while the red-haired man has only one bar.
In other words, he is a lieutenant colonel above the red-haired men.
The youngest major general of the Empire ever sat quietly on the seat of his flagship Ishtar, his slender eyelashes dangled slightly, and a light shade fell on his fair cheeks.
The fringed gold pattern on the shoulder collar represents his rank of officer, with a golden bar on it.
The shimmer glowed a cold glow on his skin, and the black hair fell along his fair neck into his tightly-necked neckline.
Black trousers wrapped around his slender legs, and black military boots with silver metallic buckles stepped on the steps.
His hands rested on the armrests of the main seat of the command, and the white military gloves contrasted with the black cuffs tightened on his wrists.
"I owe a favor to the Uriel family."
He said lightly.
"Let him come over."
The lieutenant colonel with short cyan hair clicked a little, pressed the button on the side of the body, the air shook, and the plasma barrier disappeared.
He made a gesture at a serviceman standing not far away, and the serviceman immediately turned around, and brought the black-haired boy who was still staring at the starry universe with a look.
"Tal Ullier is dead."
Troll looked at each other, and the teenager, who had been staring blankly at his own expression, turned pale at the moment he heard this sentence.
He also didn't give the other party time to digest the message and went straight on.
"He gave you to me before he died."
He said, repeating what he said to the teenager not long ago.
"Follow me."
Is the old man dead?
Mute was at a loss for a while.
Thinking of the time he spent with the old man in the middle of a month, he was suddenly sad.
However, the young man who was said to be Major-General of the Empire did not give him sad time, but directly dropped a heavy shell and stunned his head.
Follow him?
Does this mean getting him into the army?
Just kidding, he used to be just an ordinary student, or an individual who was weak and sick.
What's more, he still can't say all the connected terms now. The use of technology products in daily life is still incomplete. How can he enter the army and fight in this way?
You throw a primitive man into the tank and try?
"I don't join the army!"
The dark-haired boy shook his head hard and said.
"I won't join the army! I won't fight."
Did not dare to kill.
Although the sea of ​​stars is the dream of almost every boy, Mute can clearly see the current reality. The current interstellar era is not a peaceful era, and he is not a soldier. He couldn't even raise a gun at someone, let alone kill.
His response seemed to surprise the young major general and raised his eyes to him.
He also wanted to say something, the big red-haired man next to him suddenly patted him on the shoulder.
"Nothing."
The red-haired man said so.
"But rest assured, the law of the Empire stipulates that minors are not allowed to join the army."
"I'm sixteen ..."
At that time, the Confederate State had promulgated a law to set the age of adulthood in the world to be fifteen, so it is reasonable to say that he is an adult.
Mute just wanted to say this, and suddenly remembered that it was now tens of thousands of years, and the alliance nations on the earth had ceased to exist, and he quickly shut up.
"Yeah, four years from adulthood, kid."
"..."
In other words, is the age of adults required to be twenty?
Mute thought.
It seems that human life expectancy has greatly increased in the future, but I don't know what the average life expectancy is.
"I will be your guardian."
The young major general spoke again.
He doesn't seem to like to speak very much, and speaks very little, but the tone gives a sense of oppression as long as he speaks.
Then he turned his head, and his eyes fell on a female soldier on one side.
"Shar, take him down."
…………
……………………
"Given that the proportion of minors is decreasing year by year, the empire has now increased its protection measures for minors."
A crisp female voice sounded in front of her.
Mute followed the female soldier, his bright blond hair shaking in front of him.
It was a tall woman, with beautiful long blond hair obliquely, around one shoulder, with her hair hanging from her tall chest.
"Minors without a guardian must be taken to a designated minor shelter."
"Your grandfather, Tall Ulir, is dead. Before you die, I hope you will be entrusted to Major General Troll, who has already agreed."
"That is to say, your custody has been transferred to Your Major General."
The silver and black uniforms wrapped the female soldier's proud posture. She took Mute to the door of a room all the way, turned around, her eyes slightly bent, and she showed a formal smile to the teenager.
"So please be assured that Your Majesty does not mean to enlist you. On the contrary, Your Majesty will place you on Roy's planet, which is one of the safest and richest planets."
She smiled and said, "Moreover, that is also the Major General's territory planet, as long as it doesn't kill people, you can do anything you want on the planet Roy."
"........."
So you're persuading me to be a puppet on that planet, don't you be polite?
Mute thought so ruefully in his heart.
"Also, please tell me the type of woman you like."
"what?"
"According to your preferences, we will select 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 that made the teenager momentarily aggressive.
He stayed for a while and thought he might have heard it wrong.
"Pick, pick ... what does this mean?"
He asked blankly, because he was so wrong that he stuttered.
The blonde female soldier smiled at him.
"Please give birth to your son-in-law as soon as possible, and continue Uriel's last name, which is also the responsibility of your major general."
"!!!!!!"
The teenager who had been completely dumbfounded shook his head decisively and shook his head desperately.
"No, no, no, no--I don't think he needs that responsibility for me--"
The female soldier's response to Mute's desperate refusal was still a smile.
"Please tell me the type of women you like."
"... I said, sister, I'm a minor anyway ..."
The boy blinked with big eyes and tried to sell a cute little sister.
What imperial law would you force a minor to do this and so wouldn't it?
The blonde female soldier was unmoved.
"Because the fertility rate has been decreasing year by year, in order to promote the birth of the children of the imperial people, the law of the empire stipulates that regardless of adulthood, children can be born at the age of fourteen."
"........."
What the empire law is this!
"If you don't have any special preferences, let me arrange them for you."
Blonde female soldier says with a smile.
"No, this, me, I think it's disrespect for women! I can't use them as reproductive tools!"
And I do n’t want to be a breeder!
The teenager with a righteous expression roared in his heart.
You said a lot just now, and a simple sentence is not just trying to raise me as a pig breeder in a mansion on that planet!
"Don't worry, those women apply on a voluntary basis in advance, because they can get enough compensation, and similarly, men also have similar occupations based on voluntary basis."
The female soldier's face is still a perfect professional smile.
"If you don't have any other problems, I will retreat first, you can go to rest, and I will wake you up in advance when sailing to Roy."
Seeing that the female soldier was about to turn away, saying that it was too late, and the dark-haired teenager reached out and grabbed her wrist.
He held her hand desperately.
Grit your teeth hard.
Look, come, only, can, send, big, move, move.
He thought so hard.
"no need!"
The teenager gritted his teeth, word by word.
"... It doesn't help to find as many women."
He looked at each other with a distorted expression and a sad look, and said in an extremely painful tone.
"I only like men."
The author has something to say: Note:
Ishtar: The goddess of war in Sumerian mythology symbolizes Venus and also controls love.
set up:
The age of Mute is a little more than a hundred years behind modern times. The earth has no country, there is only one unified ally.
The approximate technological level is that some humans have already lived on the moon, and the construction of the Mars migration base has just begun.
