Chapter 73:

The huge fleet returned and gradually shrank in the course of sailing towards Emperor Star. The fleets of several regiments left and returned to their respective stations. When the Ishtar ship approached the Emperor Star, only half of the regiment's fleet was equipped with escorts. The Guna Galaxy insurgents who have been arrested have been handed over to the Royal Guard fleet directly under the royal family, and they are escorted to a satellite of Emperor Star, a small planet where the insurgents are detained and disposed of.
Because according to empire law, except for the fleet directly under the royal family, any other noble and superior officer's fleet must be controlled within a certain number before entering the Imperial Galaxy, and any ship with ground strike capability must not enter for any reason. In the galaxy.
Isutar was hovering in the universe at a certain distance from the emperor star. The owner of the blue-black flagship stood in the command hall. Major General Troll slightly twisted the air with a radius of twenty meters, showing a spherical shape. Barrier, this invisible plasma barrier isolates the internal and external sounds, so that busy military personnel outside can't hear the conversation of the people inside.
The lieutenant colonel of Qingfa said something to the major general, then bowed slightly, and turned back with the other two, and walked out of the sonic barrier.
The landing ship is ready, and Troll will at this moment take the landing ship to the Emperor Star to meet His Majesty the Emperor, and return to the military action to destroy the Guna galaxy. Just as he raised his hand to press the virtual light curtain on the side of the upper body, the light curtain lighted up and a communication request was sent over.
When he saw the source of the communication request, the major general's raised finger paused slightly in the air, then moved down slightly, and the letter was connected.
The light curtain flickered, and it was so blurry that it could barely tell that a black figure in the shape of a human appeared on it, without making a sound, just typing a few words on the virtual light curtain.
[Arriving in an hour. 】
"Well." Major General Troll hummed, expressionless, "I will arrange Via to pick up."
A line of small print quickly appeared again on the light curtain.
[You have to go to Emperor Star now? What time is it? 】
This line flashed, and then a sentence emerged again.
【What are you afraid of. 】
"... You think too much," said the major general, faintly. "The emperor sent me an order for me to see you immediately."
He said so, then raised his hand and closed the communication.
There seemed to be some fluctuations in the air. The invisible noise barrier surrounding the podium melted away. At the same time, a round platform slowly rose from the side of the podium until it reached the podium. At an even height, Major General Troll stepped on it and the figure disappeared into the air.
Soon, dozens of landing ships left Ishtar and flew towards the blue Emperor Star.
…………
"It's rare ..."
The brown-haired man shook his head while watching the light-screen communication in front of him was disconnected.
There was an incredible feeling in his heart.
Troll, the guy, is unshakable no matter what he faces. He has followed him for many years, how many births and deaths, no matter how terrible despair he is facing, that person can face it with the most calm and rational emotion-like He's never seen this kind of shyness today-although the guy's good-looking face must still be expressionless.
Although, as a fleet commander, you must remain absolutely calm and stand still in the face of a cosmic black hole star explosion, but as a person, it is not bad to shake like this now.
At least like a person, isn't it?
But then again, why is Troll hiding from that boy now that he is a valued person?
Speaking of which, he also did not know much about what happened on that planet.
Forget it ... he doesn't understand what young people are thinking now, let them toss on their own.
…………
……………………
The resumption of Major General Troll was very smooth. His Majesty the Emperor met him in person and praised him. While giving a lot of money, he also hinted that he would promote him to lieutenant as long as he worked hard again.
Although these words of the emperor were not spoken in public, they quickly spread. When Major General Troll left the palace, a large number of people immediately came forward to show him good wishes, and He received invitations from several nobles who were loyal to the royal family to invite him to a banquet tonight or tomorrow.
"Do you want to reject them all? Major-General."
The subordinates beside him asked him.
If in accordance with Major General's previous practice, he would not accept anyone's invitation, even the daughter of the King, and would only return directly to Ishtar after reporting to the emperor.
But this time, he was silent.
"Accept Marshal Ugar's invitation."
Major General Troll said.
Major General Troll's abnormal behavior gave the subordinates who were ready to refuse all a moment, and after the reaction came, he quickly said yes, wrote the reply letter as quickly as possible, and gave it to the waiter waiting below. Hands.
Then, the group went to the house of Marshal Yujia.
Although Marshal Youjia was also a nobleman, he was promoted to the position of Marshal with great merit.
He is about the same age as the Marquis of Mia. It is said that when he was young, he studied at the same military academy with the Marquis of Mia and had a good relationship, but unlike the Marquis of Mia, he is a royal supporter Therefore, with the different ideas of the two, the friendship between them was broken.
Troll didn't have an aversion to this Marshal, and Marshal Yugar's invitation this time was just to invite him to a light meal and talk about the situation of the Guna galaxy war, not to celebrate like other nobles Banquet, so he chose the invitation of the old marshal.
【What are you afraid of. 】
He never knew what it meant to be afraid, but he was hesitant not to face the child.
It's not that it's not, it's just ... As long as the child thinks of another man when he looks at his face, he has an unexplainable anxiety in his heart.
The man died on the planet, but remained in the child's memory forever.
They have the same face, so when Mute sees his face, she must remember the existence of that person.
He is running away.
This kind of behavior like a coward, something he never bothered to do, now actually appears to him.
There was an unknown flame burning in his heart, and he couldn't calm down.
He always thought that he was so strong that he would never be controlled by anyone, but now all his emotions were controlled by that boy.
It's like a runaway spacecraft, and no one knows what future it will drive beyond control.
He didn't know.
The only thing he knew was now.
That is, no matter what happened, he didn't want to let go of that boy.
…………
……………………
It was already late at night when Major General Troll ended his dinner and conversation with Marshal Yugar and returned to the ship Isutar. Because of the non-war period, in accordance with regulations, except for the soldiers and officers on duty, most of the people on the ship have already fallen asleep. He asked all his subordinates to step back and rest, and he returned to his room.
For a moment, the automatic door opened silently in front of him. He wondered whether the child had fallen asleep and walked in.
The hall was very dim, there was only a little faint light. The major looked at the bedroom. The light in the bedroom was very dim, but the door was open. With the dim light, it was clear that the bedroom bed was empty.
He listened intently, and could hear a very light breath coming from the observation room, and it seemed that Mute was now in the observation room.
The observation room has special projection equipment, a variety of scenery, the beauty of each planet, where the most realistic scene can be projected, whether it is landscape, temperature or air can be restored to the maximum, giving a kind of Immersive feeling.
There is actually a lounge where people can relax and rest.
When Major General Troll walked in, he found that the stereo projection equipment in the room had not been activated, and still showed the original original appearance-a large silvery hall with a cold luster.
When this silver-white hall is in its original state, the giant glass window, which is five meters wide and ten meters high, will be exposed. Through the glass, the cosmic starry sky outside the ship can be clearly seen.
The slender boy sat on the long window sill of the giant glass window, leaning aside, as if sitting on a bed.
The window sill was long and wide, and it was more than enough to sit and lie on it.
I felt a little cold. The mute sitting there was covered with a thin white sheet, like a shawl, wrapped around the young man's arms, covering the young man's body, and a corner of the sheet fell from the window sill. Landed on the ground.
Mute was sitting on the window sill, his hand wrapped in a white shawl rested on his erected knees, he leaned against the cold silver-white wall, his head was sideways, and he looked at the outer universe through the huge transparent glass window Starry sky.
In the dark starry sky, a clear blue planet slowly turned in the dark night.
The cosmic sky, shattered light spots flickered around the blue planet.
The silver-white hall has no lights on, and the light is very dim. The cluster of star-like broken spots of light slides like flowing water in this hall. Countless fine broken spots scattered from time to time and sometimes gather together into A light galaxy slowly passed by the teenager.
As the tiny streamer passed, the light shone on the teenager's cheek.
The slender eyelashes were barely reflected in the shattered light, and the skin on the cheek with a childish glow was shining, and a little light on the lips. The boy sat quietly, his dark pupil gazing at the blue planet outside the window.
He sat there quietly as if he had forgotten everything.
His look was so serene and peaceful at this moment, as if it had melted into the blue night ...
A hand stretched out abruptly, holding Mute's shoulders sitting there.
Mute was startled, looking back, facing the pair of dark blue pupils, those eyes staring at him tightly, the eyes were sharp enough to almost sting.
"Major Major?"
He asked a little erratically, Major General Troll still clenched his shoulders so strongly that he twisted his body to one side and stared at him without letting go.
"..."
After staring at Mute for a while, Major General Troll slowly let go.
He thought maybe it was just an illusion.
Sitting at the window watching the blue planet the night-tolerant figure of the teenager blurred for a moment, as if it would disappear from his eyes, that feeling made his chest tighten, and the hand was out of control in the next second, tight He grabbed Mute's shoulder tightly.
"what are you doing?"
The major general asked, standing in front of Mute.
The young man smiled at the white quilt that just slipped from his arm.
"Look at [Earth]."
"That's not Earth."
"But it's very similar."
Mute said, turning his head and looking out the window again, the beautiful blue star turning quietly in the dark cosmic starry sky was so similar to the one in his memory.
He said, "Do you want to watch it together?"
Troll didn't answer, and after a while, he sat down on the windowsill on the other side, facing Mute.
One hand rested on the erected knee, and the other slender leg stretched out on the window sill. Major General leaned his head and looked at the blue planet outside the window. It walked around the hall like a firefly Fine spots of light passed gently from his side, faint light illuminated his face.
The beautiful face under the satin-painted black hair, the skin-skinned eyes, the dark blue pupil iris glowed differently, the shadow of the blue planet reflected in it, two different blue meanings blended in together.
Just like Mute, he sat on the window sill and looked up at the starry sky outside the window.
The two of them were sitting against the huge glass window, one sitting on one side, facing each other, looking up, and looking at the blue planet slowly turning among them.
Major General quietly gazed at the blue planet for a while, lowered his eyes, and covered a layer of light shadow on the snow-like skin.
He turned to look at the child sitting opposite, still staring quietly at the blue planet outside the window, with a wonderful serenity on his face.
He said, "I didn't think you would want to see my face."
Mute looked back at him, tilting her head slightly.
"why?"
The teenager asked him puzzled.
"........."
The major general did not answer, and the dark blue eyes just looked at each other.
After looking at those eyes for a moment, Mute blinked softly, and suddenly a look of complete realization appeared on her face.
"Do you think I think of Tran when I see your face?"
The teenager simply said what Major General did not want to say, without covering up.
"Will not."
Mute said so, and he looked calmly when he spoke.
"You are not like you. You are Major General Troll. He is Tran."
He said, "Perhaps I did feel sad for his death at the beginning, but I have now figured it out. I want to keep him alive. That is my selfish thought. For him, he was tied around his neck. It ’s the cruelest thing that a chain is alive like a livestock. "
He said, exhaling gently.
"Now he's free. That's fine."
The major general did not speak again.
He lowered his head, and after a long while, he suddenly burst out.
"I do not have."
"what?"
"At that time, I didn't drink other people's blood or eat their meat."
"........."
"I only drank my own blood."
"........."
The hall was exceptionally quiet. Only the numerous light spots scattered randomly in the dark room. Only the blue planet outside the window was slowly turning.
The major general lowered his head, the dark hair dangled in front of his eyes, blocking his face, only to see his pale lips clenched tightly, apparently thin and sharp lines, somehow at this moment it gave people Feeling of grievance.
Mute thought for a long time whether this feeling was an illusion.
He didn't want to understand, but he had already got up, climbed a few steps, and climbed from that window sill to Major Troll.
Then, he straightened his upper body and sat down on his knees in front of the major general. The major general still sat quietly with his head down, and Mute could even see the point above the major general's head.
He thought for a while, then reached out and touched Major General's head.
"I'm happy to meet you."
He said, gently touching the black hair in the palm of his hand, the touch was delicate and smooth like velvet.
He stroked the man's head in front of him and smiled at the man.
"So, Major-General, you can live. From the past, I have lived to the present. I am very happy."
[I'm happy to meet you alive. 】
The major general moved his head, his eyes came through the gap of the black hair, and he looked at the boy touching his head.
The eyes of those Dan Feng were narrowed slightly, the corners of the eyes were slightly raised, and they became more and more slender.
Being stared at so much, Mute, who had just planned to touch it lightly but couldn't stop because of the silky, silky and soft touch on her fingers, quickly put his hands up and raised her hands quickly to admit it.
"Oh, that what, I apologize, but I didn't hold back for a while, that, um, I will reflect on it, so please don't care about it ..."
Let Mute explain for a long time and admit it, Major-General's pair of Dan Fengyan also stared at Mute for a long time, and finally, his lips moved with two words.
He said, "Continue."
Mute: "..............."
The teenager felt that there might be something wrong with his hearing.
