Only after making various guarantees to the military doctor, Kalki could go to the dying area. Now he can no longer enter any area at will.
In the snow-white ward, Yehusha was lying on the medical bed in the center, covered with a white blanket. There were no visible instruments or connections. The light was not dazzling, but instead was as warm and pleasant as the spring woods in the evening.
.
Kalki walked over, and the sound of his combat boots broke the deathly silence. He smelled a special aroma in the Bukhara prayer room, and his thoughts immediately returned to the days of "Tla Yestera Mausoleum"
Here, there are so many young knights, so happy...
But now... it's like this place, so pale.
Nahusha's face originally had the roughness of a tough guy, but now it became much softer. Kalki carefully looked at his body covered with a medical quilt. Unlike Varuna whose body was almost mutilated, he was injured.
The injuries were internal, and there were no serious external injuries or blood stains.
"Wait for me, Nahusha, we will meet again soon, in Valhalla..."
He said softly, leaned down, stretched out his arms and hugged his friend tightly, just like the intimate embrace of knights after drinking the nectar before the battle at the mass ceremony.
"...Did we win?..."
He suddenly heard Nahusha say something softly, very clearly.
This made Kalki immediately raise his head and look at the face of the deceased. It was a noble face, just like all the White Tiger Knights. Some of them had slightly longer hair. Although the face was cleanly shaved, the roots of the beard looked very thick.
, like his hair, has a golden brown tone.
"We won, the Gaians escaped."
"...ha...that's great!..."
After speaking, a low sigh came from his throat, and Kalki saw a brilliance slowly disappear from Nahusha's blue eyes, and the joy of victory solidified on his face with a slight smile.
He gently covered his friend's slightly opened eyes with his hands, which were still stained with his own blood.
This was the first time that he accompanied a friend to leave this world. The space war made everything go too fast. Even in the ground war, he only focused on fighting. The scene was in a mess and such a quiet and beautiful farewell could not be seen.
"Goodbye, my friend, good-bye."
He turned and left, wiping away tears with his hands.
The scene of entering the "White Peacock Restaurant" for the first time is still fresh in my memory. Shatayu and Nahusha warmly welcomed the newcomers. Under the flowers and candlelight, the "Knight's Corner" was always decorated like a banquet of the gods.
, those handsome knights and the beautiful young ladies were talking softly. This world was too perfect, so perfect that it was unreal, and in the end, it was shattered like a dazzling crystal ball.
"A whole generation... We have lost a generation, and all we have gained are ashes..." He lowered his head and murmured to himself.
Victory has never been so pale, so worthless.
Kalki walked out of this clean and sterile small room. Nahusha had always been a heroic knight, but he began to waver. For the first time, he hated this endless interstellar war from the bottom of his heart.
"Hiss...hiss...ouch..."
Lancer Xu made a soft sound in his mouth, and his body involuntarily ducked back. Lily Wu, the ship's medical officer, wore medical gloves and used a medical suture stick with red light spots to help him suture his right eyebrow.
A deep wound.
"Bear some pain, I've already sprayed you with analgesics."
"I can't bear it. My whole body hurts. It hurts so much that I can't even speak even now." Major Xu moved his left arm that was already on the fracture fixator. His movements looked as weird as a robot.
The suicide attack by the White Tiger fighter plane almost completely destroyed the "Xuanji". Fortunately, this flagship had just undergone the most advanced modifications, and its anti-collision ability was put to the most severe test. However, after the entire flagship rolled over, it was considered a casualty.
It was so tragic that even he, the supreme commander, was thrown off his command seat and suffered serious injuries.
Seeing his embarrassed look, Lily couldn't help but lower her head and smile.
"Are you laughing at me? Am I ridiculous now?" He was always so sensitive to the opposite sex. "You don't know, I was so scared that I almost peed on my body. If I really peed my pants, wouldn't I be laughed to death by you guys?
."
"How could it be..." Although Lily said this, she was obviously more amused by him, "You are the youngest legendary commander in Gaia's history, and you are also the soul of our small fleet. We
You killed a large number of White Tiger Knights before retreating, and they all started calling you 'White Tiger Hunter'."
"These all sound like rainbow farts. It's all luck on the battlefield. That's how life is... My grades at the Military Command College were very poor and I almost couldn't graduate. Even the staff major was squeezed in through the back door. Otherwise, I had no choice but to study.
Logistics major. Where did those outstanding graduates go? Many of them died in the first two years of graduation. I really saw through it..." Lancer always found it difficult to suppress the pessimism and self-loathing in his nature.
"No! You are a very kind person, and you are honest. I will never forget that you rescued me on the Kunlun Ship. Without you, I would be dead now and would be sent to the Ministry of War every day.
Statistics.”
"Oh! There is also this matter! I forgot about it..."
Lancer no longer cried out in pain, but turned his face docilely like a little sheep, allowing Lily Wu to carefully re-implant artificial eyebrow follicles on his eyebrows, otherwise his right eyebrow would look like it was broken in the future.
General.
Her hands were very gentle. Apart from Xuanji, he had never been touched by girls of his own age... Once he had this awareness, he started to squirm again.
"This is the first time I've been injured. I won't be disfigured like this."
"No, I will make you more handsome than before."
"Am I handsome?"
"Of course, aren't you handsome enough? Oh my god..."
For the first time, Lancer felt so elated that he could not even feel the pain in his body for the first time when a girl directly complimented him on his appearance.
Maybe, he was looking for happiness in the wrong direction at the beginning. Xuanji is too unique, not like a Gaia girl at all, and doesn't even have the hobbies of a normal person; treating Kalki as a love rival is really stressful.
He is so big that he is so perfect that he is not like a mortal. He, the "Metropolitan Fira" in Xuanji's mouth, can't catch up even with his bare feet. A top product that has been bred for 700 years, feeling ashamed in front of him can make people feel a mountain of pressure.
Maybe... he should try a new direction.
He turned his head slightly and looked at Lily Wu. She was excellent, had an excellent mind, and looked very cute.
"If... we return to Mangxing City safely, I probably... won't have any combat missions for the time being. Can I..." Major Xu blushed and mustered up the courage to ask, "Can I buy you a cup of coffee?
