[Future] The sword is not old

80

Maybe the happiness of the two of them was too good to be envied by the heavens.

The general became slack, he thought that he could be an ordinary person quietly and peacefully by taking off his armor and weapons.

The hatred and malice accumulated in the first half of his life never let him go.

"Andorika... Andorika... how are you doing?"

The civilian spaceship was littered with severed limbs, and the general staggered open the hatch.

Behind the door is no longer that beautiful and gentle woman, but an ugly parasite.

The madam's side was full of insect corpses, and she had fought in corners before she was alive, but she was outnumbered.

The old general came late.

too late.

"Andorika..."

"Andorika..."

He called his lover's name in vain.

"Please, be sober. We'll be back on the capital soon, and everything will be fine."

The parasite frantically bit the general's arm.

"Andorika... hold on..."

The general held her face tremblingly, the pupils of those radiant pupils were already hollow.The parasite's sharp teeth pierced the general's neck, and the aorta tore a hole, bleeding profusely.

The man who once dominated the battlefield lost his purpose of living.

he ordered.

"Wright, start the self-destruct program."

"Application denied. My mission is to protect your life at all costs."

"Start the self-destruct program for me!!!"

The general slammed his sword on the ground, and the energy stone jumped and flashed.

"Application rejected."

The cold mechanical sound of the laser sword echoed in the room.

"It is detected that the red high-risk creature remains, and the holder loses the will to fight. To ensure the safety of the holder, the automatic defense program is activated..."

At the moment of the parasite's next attack, Wright shot out the blade.The laser penetrated the top of the parasite's skull, and the pitch-black slurry slowly slid down like tears, drop by drop.

The old general knelt down on the ground.

He used his most cherished sword to end the life of the woman he loved the most.

81

The old general lost everything.

Nothing matters anymore.

The old man can still laugh and cry, and still looks like a sword idiot, adding a few famous swords to his collection every month.But none of the hidden swords in the window have been used again.

After all, the woman he had protected all his life was gone.

82

The general picked up Wright and wiped it on his sleeve.

"Erwin..."

The boy raised his head, tears streaming down his face.

"I will leave this sword to you."

Erwin lost his voice in surprise.

"No, General, I..."

"No need to say more."

"It's just a waste sword that has been in disrepair for a long time, and there are many flaws in the program. I can't dance anymore. If you like it, take it."

There seemed to be faint tears in the eyes of the old general. He made up his mind and issued an expulsion order for the little attendant.

"Erwin, let's go."

Never, never come back.

83

late at night.

The entire barren star is at its darkest moment, in order to welcome the next round of sunrise.

The lowest prison of the St. Gerry family was originally used to hold cheap slave goods. After the old general moved here, he dismissed the slaves and gave them civilian status to maintain a normal life.

Erwin was also one of them.

The teenager hung his head, and the torture device forced his limbs to lean back.

The thorny metal whip lashed at him, splashing blood, but he didn't let out a single cry from the beginning to the end.

"I really don't know if the general is old and a little confused, and he gave you the sword."

The head of the servants knew the boy's filthy blood, so he gave the boy a noble surname, which simply tarnished the honorable name of the whole family.

The boy said nothing.He held Wright tightly, the last thing the general left him, his lifeline.

The supervisor was furious, spat on the young man, and turned to tell the soldiers.

"What are you doing in a daze, continue to torture!"

The shackles on both arms tightened little by little, and the boy's wrist bones made a creepy cracking sound.

Erwin's expression didn't change.

Even if the arm loses feeling, even if the bone is broken, even if the hands that dance the sword are lost.

——I can’t let go either.

84

"How can an inferior citizen be qualified to hold this sword?"

The supervisor tried to pry open the boy's fingers, but was thrown down by Erwin, who bit him like a beast, and the sharp tiger teeth hit the weak spot, almost tearing off a piece of neck flesh.

The guards quickly separated the two.

"This crazy dog!!!"

The electric shock system was activated, and the boy bit his lower lip tightly to prevent himself from passing out.

The supervisor was palpitated by those blue eyes, and backed away again and again.

"Take care of him! Tomorrow morning, after the general sets off, throw him on the Death Star, the most serious pest disaster!"

"Yes!"

85

I hid in Erwin's coat pocket the whole time, and no one searched me out.

The boy was exhausted, and his body fell to the cold ground.

The soldiers left, and a boy whose hands were broken couldn't make any more disturbances.

"..."

To be honest, I'm a little sad.

Erwin was abandoned by humans.

The soul of the spirit is gathered in the shape, once it is broken, it is tantamount to death.

I don't know if the same is true for humans.

Erwin's once beautiful blue eyes dimmed, lifeless like a dead sea.

86

The development of things is really weird.

Why did the general's personal guard suddenly appear on the deck?Where did the large number of Zerg on the starship go?How could the old general himself have believed false testimony and refused to mention the truth?

We seem to be caught in a huge conspiracy, caught up in complicated branches, getting deeper and deeper.

And worst of all, Erwin is now unconscious, and Wright is unconscious.

"If there are energy stones that can be replaced..."

I was in a daze.

"--unnecessary."

I was taken aback.

"Huh? Wright, are you awake?"

Wright's spiritual consciousness emerged. It was originally a huge mass like an ancient monster, but now it was only a little bit the size of a fist.

Although his expression was serious, I couldn't help laughing.

"Hahaha, are you healthy? Your spiritual consciousness has shrunk like this..."

Wright hit me straight up with a stick.

"My body has nothing to worry about."

"The Zerg that I met today, I met when my wife passed away."

87

It happened to be the honeymoon of the general and his wife at that time, and the two had booked a boat ticket to the resort planet Pulan.The general forgot to buy a commemorative bouquet on the eve of boarding the ship, hurried off the ship, and missed the sailing time.

"I thought it was a civil attack and the lady was involved by misfortune."

There are a large number of parasitic Zerg with strong aggressiveness, and they are all over the outer circle of the Northwest Nebula.Before the worm mother was expelled, the outer periphery of Puran planet was also the hardest-hit area, and ships were unfortunately killed every year.

Wright paused.

"Thinking about it now, the Zerg's goal, probably from the very beginning, was the general."

I tilted my head and thought about it.

"How many light-years are there between the Northwest Nebula and this border star?"

Even if the Zerg are physically strong, they cannot withstand interstellar travel, and generally live in a specific breeding circle.

They lost their queen mother, and they are a group of reptiles without will. How could they take revenge similar to humans?

"Furthermore, the general's body is tightly guarded, and the guards are strictly screened. They are mentally strong and will not be easily manipulated."

Such a large number of parasites appear in batches, unless...

Wright nodded slightly.

"The Zerg have many ways to parasitize. If a large number of eggs are injected into the body regularly, even a determined person will be eaten away and become an empty shell."

I rubbed the knife face quickly, afraid that I would get goose bumps on my body.

"You may not know that last year, the physicians in the family were recently replaced, and they were assigned by the elders' house."

The original old doctor was forcibly dismissed, and it was rumored that he had a major medical accident during an operation.

"The monthly routine medical examination was carried out as usual, and 280 members of the corps of 30 people were dismissed, which is the highest number in recent years."

I connected all the broken clues, and the tiger's body shook.

"Wait, if our judgment is correct..."

"Isn't the general in danger?"

88

"Do not."

Wright gently wiped away the tears from Erwin's eyes.

"My master is a very smart person. If he is aware of all this, there is only one reason for keeping silent."

Wright didn't say it, but we all knew it in our hearts.

He wants revenge.

To take revenge on the Zerg who took away his beloved wife, the unscrupulous people hidden in the family, and even the leader of the Federation who acquiesced in the action of the elders' house.

89

"I have explored the energy storage device on the starship, and the energy level is quite high."

Wright opened the projection terminal, and a three-dimensional data panel was mapped on the energy stone.

"The energy storage device is still operating, and the highest peak value is expected to destroy the capital star in an instant."

"The general set off this time and took almost all the horses. He will leave early tomorrow morning."
