"elder brother……"

When Mu Yunqi and Rong Zheng returned to their residence, Mu Yunshu had already been waiting outside the door for a long time.

He is much taller than Mu Yunqi, but still has a childish look on his face.Mu Yunshu's eyes were red, obviously she had just cried a while ago.

"what happened?"

Mu Yunqi patted his younger brother's head and led him into the house.Today, Rong Zheng didn't blow his nose and stare at the child who disturbed the world of the two, his expression was so clear at a glance, all the people in the base who lost their relatives and friends had the same expression.

"Not injured? Not bad," Mu Yunqi patted his younger brother on the shoulder, "It's the first time I went to the battlefield, and to be able to come back unscathed from the chaotic insect swarm, our little Shu is really capable."

"But... Linlin, Fei Li and Meng Nan... my teammates, they are all... woo..."

Mu Yunshu hugged her brother who was one size smaller than herself and cried sadly, "We said before we set off... we would go for a picnic together when we got back, and Linlin planned to confess to the boy she likes...but...but they never coming back..."

Mu Yunqi stroked his hair slowly, without saying any comforting words, just letting him vent the sadness in his heart.

This is something every soldier has to go through, cry for your comrades in arms, or let your comrades cry for you.

"They are still so young, they still have a lot of things to do..."

Mu Yunqi pulled Mu Yunshu away, stared into his eyes and said, "Then do what they want for them."

"Huh?" Mu Yunshu asked puzzled, "But..."

"Carrying the beacon of the dead is what we living people should do. We will fulfill their ideals for them, and we will continue their lives for them."

"Continuation...but...they are dead..."

"They are still here," Mu Yunqi nodded Mu Yunshu's forehead, "You can still remember their names and faces, this is the continuation of their lives. They may still appear in your dreams, They may cry, they may laugh, they may accuse you, but remember, it's all evidence of their existence."

"It still exists..."

"Forgetting is the scariest thing," Mu Yunqi sighed, "It's like human beings once abandoned their own civilization in order to chase the stars. Once you forget it, you can never get it back. So, you can't forget They, you remember them better than anyone, you know?"

Mu Yunshu nodded, "I understand, brother. I will never forget them. As long as I live, I will always remember them. Therefore, in order to let them live here longer, I have to work hard to live. OK!"

"That's right, that's it." Mu Yunqi smiled, "Have you cried enough? Go wash your face, just like a little cat."

Mu Yunshu wiped her face embarrassingly, and asked again, "Brother...you...can't cry?"

"...Of course not," Mu Yunqi said, pointing to his face, "Your brother, I am not a good person. I don't know how to cry except for acting. How embarrassing."

"Uh……"

"As for you," Mu Yunqi sighed, "Forget it, I'll just treat it as a younger sister."

"certainly not!"

Mu Yunshu asked quietly, "Brother...tonight...can I sleep with you?"

"no!"

The hellish voice from behind made Mu Yunshu shudder with fright, almost jumping up and lying on Mu Yunqi's body.

Rong Zheng said with a cold face, "Today your brother has granted you permission to sleep in Chu Tianhao's dormitory, get out!"

"Huh? Really, brother?"

"Go, go," Mu Yunqi said helplessly, "Brother is too big to stay."

After Mu Yunshu left with a blushing face, Mu Yunqi's expression suddenly darkened.

"You really know how to act." Rong Zheng sat next to him, pinching his face, "Don't be brave when you're sad, Xiao Shu is your relative."

"But he is not strong enough," Mu Yunqi said, "Before he learns to be truly strong, I must be his reliance."

"But now he has someone he can rely on," Rong Zheng said, "That Chu Tianhao, I have someone to watch over him. Although he is linked to the Chu family, he doesn't have the problems of those big families. And good personality."

"Who knows in the future, as a family member, I have to guard Xiaoshu."

"...Have you defined him as the one to marry?"

"if not?"

Rong Zheng and Mu Yunqi were silent for a while, Mu Yunqi leaned against him silently and closed his eyes.

"Rong Zheng...I can't cry..."

Rong Zheng circled Mu Yunqi and kissed his hair gently.

"Then go to sleep." Rong Zheng said, "Just like what you said to Xiao Shu, maybe we will meet again in a dream."

The drones that cleaned the battlefield arrived one after another on the second day, sending the recovered military emblems back to the Soma base.After counting the military emblems, the list and photos of the soldiers who died were decorated on the huge monument in the base square.

This monument is specially erected to commemorate, and after every mission, the soldiers who died will appear here.The photo is accompanied by a brief introduction, telling people what they died for.These photos will be played in rotation on this monument, so that soldiers will always remember.

Now, information about more than 2 soldiers has been added to this monument, and a huge shady curtain has been pulled up on the square to form a solemn and huge mourning hall.There is no exquisite decoration, no professional orchestra, only soldiers holding white chrysanthemums lined up silently, seeing them off with tears and determined eyes.

Mu Yunqi didn't go down, but stood in the office and looked at the square, with unprecedented fatigue in his eyes.

He told Rong Zheng last night that he couldn't cry.Not only did he not shed a tear, but he didn't even have a dream, and slept peacefully until dawn.

He lost hundreds of comrades-in-arms who could be named. Most of these people were soldiers of the Yunzheng Fleet who had been with him day and night, victims of the Dawn Fleet, and good brothers who had practiced and cooperated with them many times. Even the soldiers in other teams had somewhat learned about them during the pre-war special training. The names and faces of the more than 100 top elite soldiers of the Federation could emerge one by one in his mind. Among the more than 2 soldiers in total, , and some he knew.

After these people died, not only did he not have a single tear, but he even slept until dawn without dreams.

The door of the office opened gently, Rong Zheng walked in, called out the report that Kerong had just sent and handed it to Mu Yunqi.

"The test report you did after you came back came out. There is no problem physically and mentally. Your actual combat power is growing rapidly. By the time of the queen's battle, your strength should be able to reach 12 stars."

"That couldn't be better."

Rong Zheng looked at the square through the window, "Aren't you going down?"

Mu Yunqi turned his head and said to Rong Zheng, "Look, what expression do I have now?"

Rong Zheng hugged Mu Yunqi in his arms, "I am exactly the same as the person I saw in your subconscious mind."

"What am I like subconsciously?"

"A killing machine."

Rong Zheng held Mu Yunqi's face in his hands, and said solemnly, "No one wants you to become like that, and you don't want it yourself. The subconscious you are Mu Yunqi in the previous life. You have experienced despair, but you are still looking for something in despair. Mu Yunqi of hope. But it is different now, in this life, you will never face such a desperate situation again, because I will not allow you to push yourself into such a desperate situation."

"But aren't we facing a desperate situation?" Mu Yunqi looked out the window, "The core of the Queen's Assault Regiment has been killed or wounded, and the strongest elites on the Western Front have all been locked away from the bug swarm by mental marks. Although the front team is not inferior to the original team, but in less than a month, are these fighters from various fleets going to face the Queen?"

"That's their job."

"I know, but I have to be responsible for their lives." Mu Yunqi rested his head on Rong Zheng's shoulder, "Do you know how much we sacrificed in our previous life to kill a queen? I thought we would do it all over again. We will sacrifice as much as possible with as little sacrifice as possible, but..."

"Xiaoyun, have you ever thought that some things may be inevitable in history."

"inevitable……"

"You have already done too much to change the butterfly effect of history. The part you change may be the one that could have been changed, but the part that cannot be changed is the inevitability of history."

"Unchangeable...sacrifice?"

Rong Zheng looked out the window, "The sacrifices of these 2 soldiers are the inevitability of history that you cannot change. But what you have changed is the lives of most of the surviving soldiers. And in the ensuing Queen's Battle Here, there is a part that you can change, but there is also a part that is inevitable in history that you cannot change."

Mu Yunqi raised his head, "But even so, we must eliminate the queen."

"That's right, this is the only target you should focus on. You are the trump card of mankind, and you are the only one who can decide the outcome of this war. Xiaoyun, we always said before that individual heroism cannot be achieved in real life." You saved the overall situation, but now it’s different, our outlook on the overall situation has been changed by you. Now, it’s time for you to perform your personal heroism.”

Mu Yunqi asked in surprise, "You... aren't..."

"I stopped your actions before because you always excluded me, but it's different now," Rong Zheng patted Mu Yunqi's face and said, "I will be with you, and we will kill the queen together. "

"Rong Zheng..."

"Xiaoyun, you just have to let go and do it. I will bear your burden for you."

Mu Yunqi nodded, and the mist in his eyes slowly melted away.

"What's more," Rong Zheng said with a smile, "we still have a strong reinforcement in this life."

"Reinforcement?" Mu Yunqi asked puzzled, "What reinforcement?"

"Dark Sentinel Legion."

"what……"

"This morning, the Soma base received a request for a remote military meeting from the Iron Thorns of the Star Alliance. The Marshal and the Iron Thorns have reached a preliminary cooperation agreement."

"The Dark Sentinel Legion..." Mu Yunqi suddenly realized, "By the way, they have been training in the star field outside the western front, how could I forget about this..."

"Not only that, after the previous exchanges between the Federation and the Star Alliance, the Church of the Star Alliance discussed it and decided to conduct an unmarked appeasement experiment, and the first batch of experiments were the Dark Sentinel Corps specially trained outside the Western Front."

"It's Basha and the others..." Mu Yunqi asked eagerly, "How was the result?"

"Very good," Rong Zheng said, "They have made improvements based on the actual physical conditions of the Dark Sentinels and the priests, which not only ensures the strong combat power of the Dark Sentinels, but also solves their health risks. Now the Iron Thorns are in Baba Under the leadership of Sha and Enuo, it has become a top sentinel corps."

"Although militarily, the Federation has another powerful enemy, but if they join, the sacrifice of the Queen's War will be reduced a lot."

"Then... why do they want to take the initiative to cooperate with us?" Mu Yunqi asked puzzledly, "No matter how good the truth is, the current bug swarm has no effect on the Star Alliance at all, and they have more reason to stand by than the Empire .”

"I won't talk about the official scene. According to our investigation, it is possible that the empire did something secretly and angered the Star Alliance."

"Is there such a thing?" Mu Yunqi asked in surprise, "Is the empire dead again at this time?"

"There are secret military changes on the border of the empire. Marshal Yang on the northern front has already reported to the presidential palace, and President Feinan issued a formal warning document to the empire. But if the military changes of the empire are not limited to the federation..."

"That is, what did they do to the Covenant?"

"Although the specific incident is still unclear, according to the reports sent back by the agents within the Star Alliance, the capital of the Star Alliance is under martial law recently, and a lot of itinerant priests have also been sent to various places."

Mu Yunqi's eyes widened, "Did they attack the Pope?"

"No matter how the matter has evolved to this point, it is beneficial to us after all. Moreover, Basha first mentioned this matter, I think it is more credible. If the group of priests first brought it up, it is necessary to consider whether there is something in it Problem."

In the previous tripartite joint exercises and competitions, Basha's personal combat power and character were affirmed by the soldiers on the Western Front.Mu Yunqi has even been short-sighted about Basha's brain. Although the part that touches the secrets of the Star Alliance cannot be detected, it is clear about Basha personally.

"Although Basha is the head of the Iron Thorn Regiment, his rank will always be lower than that of a priest in foreign affairs activities. If this regiment is a sentinel cooperation regiment, even if Basha is in charge, in fact it is very important to make the decision. Probably the priest behind him."

"About this point, I think you can rest assured," Rong Zheng said meaningfully, "It is indeed as you expected, although Basha, the head of the Ironthorns, came forward to contact him, but behind him there is still a secret manipulator behind him." Father, after all, it is impossible for the system of the Star Alliance to change with certain details in the army. But this priest... no, it should be the bishop, if it is him, there is no need to worry too much."

"Bishop Enoch?" Considering the private relationship between Basha and the bishop, Mu Yunqi immediately felt subtle.

"That's right, although Bishop Enoch joined the Corps in the name of deputy head, in fact Basha still obeys his command. But this bishop is the best candidate for us."

The author has something to say: the foreign aid team is about to arrive on the battlefield!
