In the supreme commander's bed, which was as narrow as a small boat, Kalki could only sleep on his side, with Xuanji lying safely in the middle, so that the two of them could sleep soundly.
"Her hair was very long, and her nose, mouth, and eyes were all bleeding. She pulled me with cold hands..."
"Don't be afraid, this is just a dream. You have always been brave and the best warrior." He comforted her, his blue eyes shining coldly in the darkness.
"I'm not brave, I miss home, I miss home, I miss Gaia, I miss Mangxing City, I want to have a good sleep at home after returning, I want to order takeout, I want to eat a bowl of noodles, I want to take a good bath , I even want to go shopping. I am really tired from the war. I have seen the destruction of the entire pilot division, so many young people died. I have seen the mutual hatred and calculation between slaves and interstellar pariahs. , I want to be safe, safe with the one I love. I am afraid, I am afraid that people from Plato’s military administration will suddenly appear and take you away directly, just like in Urustiva... Destruction in happiness Then came suddenly, breathtakingly fast, such a beautiful fairyland was destroyed in a few hours, I lost our child, I dreamed about it, a child's voice called me mother, and then disappeared …”
At this point, Xuanji almost burst into tears and pressed her wet face tightly against his bare chest. This made Kalki feel affectionate. He saw Xuanji's most vulnerable side, the female side she only showed him. .
"Women are not suitable for war." He sighed, "War is too cruel, women are too beautiful. You want safety, family, husband and children, but here I only have death and darkness..."
"No...don't stay in the Punishment Corps anymore, my Lord, please come with me back to Gaia, back to Star City, where we will get to know each other and fall in love. It was the best time in my life." She raised her head and begged. He had an oriental tenderness and sadness that fascinated him.
"Beautiful? It is not beautiful for a prisoner of war. I am at a loss for Mangxing City. It is too complicated." He stroked a strand of her hair that had turned silver with pity. "The education I received since I was a child is that even if I am taken back to the military commission, If you are put on trial, even if you are shot by one of your own people, you cannot defect to Gaia."
"Gaia is not your enemy, you are Gaia's general. We can live very well there, very well..."
"In the end, is it the same as Visakha, Lien, or Thorin?" Kalki frowned tightly, "Gloss and wealth are just bait, and they will be discarded like rags after being used for a while."
"No, I won't." She quickly shook her head, the tears in her eyes making her eyes even brighter, "I promise, I promise you won't be like them."
Kalki was stunned for a moment and said: "Your guarantee? How do you guarantee it?"
"I, I am..." She hesitated, Kalki's words lingering in her ears - "Xuanji is just a gift, look at me and sleep with me."
He saw through her humbleness and was accustomed to this kind of seemingly chivalrous but superior love charity.
If she tells everything in the Andaman Palace truthfully... Kalki only verbally apostates and lives a self-centered life, but still deeply retains some of the Platonic ways of thinking. Yuan believers regard the followers of the Great Illumination Cult as evil
Devil believers, how will their "queen" be treated?
She couldn't forget his disgusted and alienated look. If it became normal, she would go crazy.
"They will listen to me, I promise, they will not disobey me." She unconsciously showed a hint of arrogance and confidence.
Kalki was silent. He recalled that the priestess of the Great Light Cult called Xuanji "mistress". It seemed that the two of them were completely equal, at least they were treated that way.
"What happened after you were brought back to Gaia? How did you end up hanging out with the pirates of Addis?"
"I woke up in a palace. This palace was called Mandaan Palace, also known as the 'Palace of Stars'. I can't describe its magnificence in words... Later I escaped and became an interstellar wanderer.
I can only work on the pirate ship 'Time Rose'." She saw that his blue eyes were full of suspicion, and Kalki's nature was extremely sharp.
"Star Smurf is coming soon. I have to hold a battle meeting to make a plan to prevent these beasts from using us as cannon fodder and throwing us into the Gaian cannons. Namoshiro once said: 'Every minute on the front line is to fight against death.
Borrowed, I have to go." His usual rational and cold tone reappeared, and he just touched her hair and cheeks with his hands, seeming a bit tender and reluctant.
Kalki got out of bed naked, picked up the robes scattered everywhere and quickly put them on.
"Don't mention the defection to Gaia again. Brothers are not friendly to women. You stay in my room and ask Aini if you need anything."
"You said you were willing to do anything for me." Xuanji covered her chest with a blanket, like an aggrieved kitten.
"Yes, I am talking to you on the mothership of the Punishment Corps now. I have paid enough for our love." Kalki tightened his belt and turned around.
"What if I get pregnant?"
"We'll talk about it later. I'm entering the pre-war abstinence period. You live here while I go to the soldiers' dormitory."
For the first time, they began to have grudges about their future direction.
Xuanji clung to her naked body in embarrassment, tears falling on her slightly bruised collarbone. He was passionately in love with her, but with a touch of roughness, he could not help but hurt her, which made her feel,
He was using her body to vent his dissatisfaction and humiliation.
He called her madam, but she felt like a military prostitute.
"I want to leave Gaia with you... just the two of us..."
A familiar voice came to my ears. Lancer Xu looked so handsome and affectionate in the shadow under the transmitting tower.
What Kalki didn't have the courage to do, Lancer was willing to do... Why did she suddenly think of this suitor who was always ridiculed and rejected by her?
"Hey! Boss! Why did you desert again?" Tan Lin called softly and patted Major Xu's shoulder helplessly.
Lancer then showed an expression as if he had just woken up from a dream. The heads of the commanders of each unit were flashing on the huge screens in front of him. This was a plenary meeting of the Seventh Fleet. There were too many participants, so I couldn’t interrupt.
With all the chattering going on, he couldn't concentrate.
Before departure, Wu Lili broke up with him and was unwilling to participate in the expedition to defend the supply line. She found an excuse to switch to military medical care on the ground. This kept him in a bad mood during the 6,500 light-year journey, not to mention for the sake of
In a hurry to take a shortcut, the Seventh Fleet used a natural star gate with unstable energy, but the entire army was almost wiped out——
Almost instantly, ten battleships disappeared from his small squadron.
