Kalki's blond hair has not yet grown long enough to be combed into a perfect bun. Like a young retinue, he combed his hair up from both sides and pulled it into a loose bun.
A strong nape.
This reminded Schwartz of the young attendant he met when he was Deacon Lean.
Kalki was underage at that time, with a face as handsome as an angel, and eyes that were firm and innocent.
"Danke." (Thank you) The admiral still wants to retain some grace.
The two spoke German again in front of everyone, which was similar to the language spoken by insiders. This was an expression of the closeness between the White Tiger Knights, and it was particularly special in such a tense scene.
"Lean, you were my supreme commander during the Second Battle of Ceto, and I will never forget how well you took care of me. But you later became a shame to the Knights. You loyal to the Gaia army for the sake of glory and wealth. You
Your hands are stained with the blood of Platonists." Kalki raised his head arrogantly, and the atmosphere suddenly changed, "You severely damaged the White Tiger Knights in the Fomalhaut Corridor, and I almost died in this battle." p>
"I will treat you as favorably as possible, but after returning to Plato, you will be escorted to the Military Justice Department, and you must pay the price for your treason... You can no longer return to Gaia."
The leader said in a low and majestic voice. His original humble temperament could not hide the arrogance of a winner, making the Gaia prisoners of war who stood in front of him like subordinates being disciplined even more pitiful.
Kalki felt that he had given Lean enough dignity. Messier Base had severely damaged Plato's fleet several times. This battle also caused enough blood for Plato's people. Both the Knights and the Third Fleet suffered heavy losses, and even he himself was injured.
.
He looked at Lien, and the deacon suddenly looked much older. His blond hair was much darker than in memory, and the roots of his hair had turned dark brown, not to mention the thin crow's feet at the corners of his eyes and the darkened eyelids.
"There is no mercy... The Knights have suffered a great loss. This is the greatest favor I can give you." Kalki said coldly.
Lean looked very calm and closed his eyes silently. Time passed too fast.
The emotional young man in his memory disappeared and turned into a ruthless military commander.
He slowly opened his blue eyes, as if looking up to the sky far away, and sighed.
He thought of the brilliance of the setting sun that day in Mangxing City, which was so splendid that it shone on the face of a young girl.
From that day on, everything he owned was borrowed. That was not Lean's life. Everything Heinz Schwarz owned would be returned.
He lowered his head and turned the gold wedding ring on his right hand.
"Lisa, goodbye kids!"
He raised his right hand and, in the graceful manner of Plato's knights, gently kissed the ring on his ring finger with his lips.
"I can intercede with the Senate for you," Kalki looked at Heinz Schwarz with a puzzled expression. This behavior was very strange.
"I know your story, staying in Gaia for a woman... Young knights are always lonely, I can understand you."
Only through experience can people understand the difficulties of others. If he did this for Xuanji, maybe he would inevitably end up like this.
"This is all I can do for you..."
There was a strange and slightly painful expression on Lean's face, and his entire face turned pale.
"Kalki, zusp?t..." (Kalki, it's too late) He squeezed out the last words from his throat dryly.
General Schwartz suddenly fell heavily to the ground, and everyone present was shocked.
"Lean! Reen! What's wrong with you?!" Kalki knelt beside Rean who fell to the ground and touched the pulse on his neck with his hand. The pulse had completely disappeared. "He just poisoned himself!
”
He looked at Schwartz's powerless right hand. The gold wedding ring on his ring finger turned out to have a dark ring. After turning, the venom was squeezed out, leaving a bright mark.
"You can completely save yourself by committing suicide by taking poison!" Saxo, the medical soldier who had been following Kalki, rushed over with a medical intelligent robot. "He is asking for trouble!"
Nowadays, with Plato's battlefield medical level, even if the heads are cut off all at once, there is still a chance of survival if they are rescued in time. It is not difficult to treat those who commit suicide by taking poison.
The medic immediately typed quickly on the projection screen of the mobile medical box, and a first-aid injection popped out automatically. Just when he was about to hit the jugular vein of Rean's neck, Captain Kalki suddenly grabbed his arm.
"No need to resuscitate, let him go!"
Saxo's wide blue-green eyes flashed with panic: "Karki, it is my duty to save people. I once swore an oath to save lives and heal the wounded, just like you also swore allegiance to Emperor Plato and the army."<
/p>
"Lean is a very proud man. Being sent to the Military Justice Department will bring disgrace to his honor. He was a deacon when he was captured, and he was a traitor when he returned. For a soldier, having his honor disgraced is more terrifying than death," Kalki said.
Frowning tightly, he watched Schwartz's facial muscles relax from pain to calmness.
"He is a good general. As a noble nobleman, the Senate will spare his life, but he will inevitably be squeezed out of the political core. He may be exiled to the distant 'Suyata Ring', where the cold is unbearable.
It’s nothing like the fairyland-like ‘Neckat Ring’ we live in...”
Following Kalki's voice, Saxo and the surrounding knights seemed to see before their eyes the exile life that most frightened Plato's nobles - living an elusive existence in a cold, dark world of ice and snow.
"Of course I will try to protect him from being exiled. There are many widows of noble blood nowadays. He may have a wife, but as a soldier with the stain of rebellion, he can only work on the ground to survive. What will others do to him?
There are a lot of discussions behind the scenes. Lien is such a proud person, even aloof. His wife and children are all in Star City. This is a divided life. Sometimes, life is more painful than death..."
Kalki stood up quietly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Just like him.
At first, he felt that time would heal the pain. Losing Xuanji was just the failure of first love, so what big deal it was? But excessive longing will forever change a person's soul and become colder...
"He is dead..." The medic announced the death of the Messier base commander a moment later.
"Execute them all!" Kalki ordered to Luo Hu simply and neatly, looking at the defeated group of defeated soldiers with a pair of clear but cold blue eyes, his tone was very calm, "Lien is their lord, and the vassals should die with the lord.
."
Because Kalki's voice was very clear, Lancer heard his order and there was a loud "boom" in his head.
No way, you will be shot immediately???
Lancer secretly learned Plato in order to pursue Xuanji, but since she was growing up in Mangxing City, she never told him and was basically idle. She didn't expect to hear such words.
"What? You want to shoot us?!"
"This violates the treaty of war between the two sides!"
Several people understood it at the same time, and the words of Supreme Commander Plato spread immediately.
For a moment, the surrendered senior commanders all looked panicked, while the female soldiers turned from silent tears to screaming and wailing, and the scene began to become chaotic.
"No way! Lancer Xu, how could such a thing happen! Think of a way!" General Dlamini pulled him and shouted loudly. He suddenly became very clear-headed and did not look like a drunk person at all. "
Tell this blond bastard, we are not from Messier Base, we are affiliated with the Seventh Fleet!"
"Damn! This is crazy! We are high-ranking generals, and all of us are of extraordinary worth! We can exchange for many of you Sergeants Plato, are you crazy?!" The general's protruding eyes were bloodshot, and he was extremely excited.
"Lance Xu, we can't be shot in such an unexplained way! What does this have to do with us? What kind of son-of-a-bitch relationship between king and minister... As acting chief of staff, I order you to find a way!" the general said excitedly.
Pulling on the collar of his uniform, almost growling at him, Lancer suddenly faced the situation of being shot, and was so panicked that he didn't know how to react.
Lancer was originally a person with slow reactions, and General Dlamini's gaffe made his voice tremble slightly because of fear.
"Our Seventh Fleet shot down a Grand Commander-level fighter. It should be Kalki's fighter... We also caused a lot of losses to the White Tiger Knights... Schwartz knows him at least. The more you scream, you will die.
The faster you go!"
Second Lieutenant Xu looked extremely embarrassed. He wanted to push away the sturdy general, but now he was too tired and weak.
As expected, Kalki was watching this interesting pair. Their behavior was the most eye-catching among the group of people, and their appearance could almost be described as ridiculous.
I was afraid that you would hurt Lancer. Kalki suddenly remembered this name. Xuanji once mentioned it when he was about to rush into the Great Hall of the People occupied by Thorin that day.
There is also "Xu Sang" mentioned by the boss of Weishan Bookstore.
Xu Sang...Lance Xu...
The second lieutenant staff officer is probably older than Xuanji...
The figure of the young man holding the flying mouse and wearing the combat uniform of a Gaian soldier slowly overlapped with that of the officer with a mixed-race face.
Lancer found Kalki staring at him with his deep blue eyes, and the Plato soldiers had come to take them to the place of collective execution.
There is no joke in the army, and Lancer doesn't think Kalki's character is like a person who likes to joke. If he doesn't muster up the courage to give it a try now, he will die in front of his eyes.
"Captain, I am Xuanji's friend. We met at Jinsha Base! It's that small base NGC2547..."
Lancer shouted to Kalki loudly in German.
Thanks to the conspiracy theory books he had read, it was said that the White Tiger Knights were almost all of German descent, and some were even said to be descendants of a German army that disappeared 700 years ago. They were hiding in the underground city on the roof of the world, and met on earth at the end of the 22nd century.
In times of major crisis, use the name of "Yuanjiao" to rebuild National Socialism.
These books were so imaginative that they seemed to be making up stories, but he heard Kalki and Schwartz speaking German with his own ears, and thought that maybe this would be closer than speaking directly in Plato.
"Do you really not know Xuanji? Grand leader?!"
Kalki was stunned for a moment.
He waved his hand and ordered a temporary halt to the execution of all executions, which made all the Plato knights present look at him.
"Say hello to her for me." Kalki took a few steps towards him and actually spoke Gaian Chinese, but his tone was very cold.
His reason told him that the moment he cruelly left her and returned to his own world, they had already missed it in this life. He did not want to show any emotions for her anymore, especially in front of so many people.
Even with all the love and reluctance, the apricot blossoms under the Gangdise Mountains have fallen and produced bitter fruits.
"Execute all young officers under the age of 25 and keep the regular and corrupt old men." Kalki immediately changed the order.
"Except for this person." He pointed at Lancer Xu.
After this order, all the senior commanders in the headquarters suddenly relaxed, while the young officers became furious.
Kalki showed a faint sneer. Xuanji was obsessed with his appearance like an ignorant girl who fell in love, but she didn't know that he had been on the battlefield for many years and was no longer an ignorant young man.
That time when he and Xuanji had dinner in the cafeteria, the joint struggle of the young rangers allowed him to see the spirit and strength of the young people in the Gaia army who had changed the world. As an enemy general, he certainly hoped that the Gaia army would be full of people who were in the same camp.
, so that Plato’s soldiers can shed less blood.
Lancer was instinctively relieved at first, but then he heard the young female officers in the command post burst into tears.
"Why should we be shot? We are just managing communications..." Emily, who belongs to the Seventh Fleet, cried bitterly.
They had just graduated from the military academy and were assigned to do some of the lightest tasks at the headquarters, but they were actually dragged away for execution.
Lieutenant Xu felt pity.
"Xuanji is not that kind of casual girl. She has always loved the most ideal man in her heart. He is a peerless hero, a brave and invincible knight, and a kind and generous king. Kalki... you can obviously be such a hero.
..." Lancer raised his voice slightly excitedly, "If she knew that the person she loved was so cruel, how sad she would be!"
"Stop mentioning her!" Kalki immediately ordered Second Lieutenant Xu to stop talking.
Xuanji is his best memory and his secret. He doesn't want to mention her in front of so many people. His friends and subordinates are very smart. Although they may not all understand, they will understand the relationship immediately. "There are no heroes on the battlefield, and the romanticism that fantasizes about the knight on the white horse will die miserably. On the battlefield, I am a commander based only on real interests, and I only make choices that are beneficial to me..." The blunt German from Kalki
He spoke even more forcefully, and his blue eyes looked at Second Lieutenant Xu, who was half a head shorter than him, with a scornful expression.
"I am just a referee, a screener. I will sift you just like passing through a sieve."
She and he are just two pieces of duckweed on the sea of destiny, meeting by chance and separated by the wind.
The 53 days together were so beautiful. In the end, he was still Plato's general, and she was... the goddess worshiped by Manxing City. Cishi and Ishtar can never be together, leaving only an empty dream.
"You have to thank her."
Kalki turned around and left after coldly leaving a word.
