King of the Stars [Rebirth]

The dark red battleship moved closer to the airport, its hull was a little skewed, and it had long lost its former elegance.Just like a general returning from victory, after leaving people's sight, he finally let go of his arrogant self-esteem and staggered.In this battle, they won, but the price was even more tragic than imagined.

Since Charon and the Star Alliance officially established diplomatic relations, the three forces have changed.The civil war in the Federation subsided a bit, and then launched an offensive against new hostile forces.If Charon and the Covenant trust each other, they can certainly join forces to resist this expedition.But unfortunately, the "friendship" between them is obviously not up to the standard.

It was a pretty messy war.The Star Alliance wants to use Charon as a barrier to stop soldiers, and the Federation wants to use Charon as a springboard to invade the Star Alliance.Sandwiched between two huge powers, it was able to survive because Charon had two top generals who horrified the world.

They did win, preserving their territory and the dignity of the emerging forces, but what they lost was equally heavy.Humans are not the only enemies, but more insidious exotic creatures are also hidden.Perhaps this was a conspiracy against them.

The battleship was stable in the airport, and the mechanical arm for maintenance was stretched out in a hurry, and the outer shell began to be sorted.Soon after, a small landing craft quietly approached the battleship and landed in the airtight compartment on the upper deck.A figure walked through the emergency passage and walked towards the captain's cabin.

The captain's room has always been the place with the highest level of security on the warship, and any intruders will be genetically scanned to ensure safety.But the alarm equipment did not respond, and the figure was allowed to walk into the room.There was no one in the room, the man pondered for a moment, then walked down to the lower deck.This time, his target was the airlock close to the weapons warehouse.

Walking out of the expressway, through the open gate, he saw the person he was looking for at a glance.In front of a row of translucent space coffins, a man's head hangs down, standing in the middle of the room, like a frozen statue.After a pause, he slowed down and walked gently to the side of the man.

"Griffin."

As if awakened by this call, the man trembled slightly, stretched out his hand, and stroked the cold coffin door: "They are the ones who have followed me for the longest time. They have been by my side since the suppression of bandits in the west."

One after another, familiar faces lay quietly in the cold space coffin, Yan Beichen slightly closed his eyes.Of course he knew how difficult it was to get back their bodies from the air battle, and he knew even more how heartbreaking it was to see his loyal subordinates off with his own hands.But he didn't stop the movement of the people around him, he just put his hands on the other's shoulders.

"It's not your fault."

It is not.No one expected that there would be such a terrifying ambush on the flagship of the fourth family.The Griffin, responsible for containing this fleet, suffered an unimaginably terrible attack.If it were another person, what they would face would be annihilation of the entire army.But Griffin didn't miss.Even in such a situation, he managed to hold back the battle situation in that corner, and brought a turning point for them.

It's a pity that what he paid was equally tragic.

In the airtight chamber, there was a moment of silence.Slender fingertips slowly slid across the side of the coffin representing the inscriptions of Styx and eternal peace. Griffin raised his head: "We can't go on like this."

This is something both of them know well.

What those alien creatures hide is deeper than they imagined, rooted in the two major forces.The three-legged situation provides them with too many opportunities.If this kind of war continues, they will never be able to eradicate those sneaky creatures, and the troubled times will only give those insidious creatures more opportunities to take advantage of.

If you want to win the final victory, you can only change the existing defense mode, take the initiative to attack, and reunify the fragmented star field.It will no longer be a simple battle, but a comprehensive contest from politics to economy, a subversive war that can stir up this vast world.

They will definitely embark on a completely different path, no longer just pirates, but become a country, a leader who can unify the star field.

Just the two of them.

It's like a praying man's arm serving as a car, like a mayfly shaking a tree.

In Yan Beichen's memory, they should have had several years before facing such a crisis.But the butterfly's wings are already vibrating, stripping away the traces of the previous life little by little.They must face a more dangerous and urgent situation.

However, his expression didn't change at all. He lightly brushed the corner of his lips that was still oozing with blood with his fingertips, leaned over and pressed a kiss on the pale lips: "I know. Let's get rid of those ghost things."

This kiss seemed to light up something, Griffin's expression came alive, and the stone sculpture-like expression began to melt.He knew better than anyone the meaning of Yan Beichen's words.Although scary, what they have is much stronger and richer than the previous life.

A soul mate who can walk side by side and stand together at the apex of the star field.

He stretched out his hand and pressed hard on the back of Yan Beichen's head, their foreheads were pressed tightly against each other.Griffin closed his eyes, and felt the other person's temperature with his whole body, as if he wanted to draw more strength and courage from this touch.

There was no extra language, no cumbersome confession, the two just cuddled together so tightly.After a few minutes, Griffin took a deep breath: "Let me send them away with my own hands."

This is a standard cosmic air burial, and it is also the destination that every true mech knight desires.The special coffin will carry the body of the deceased and fly to the nearest star, burn and die in the blazing flame, and become a part of the cosmic dust.Not floating in the cold starry sky, nor silent under the lonely soil.What is born in the universe will return to the universe.

This is also the best ending that Griffin, their former captain, can give them.

Yan Beichen nodded, and walked out of the airlock slowly.In the cabin, Griffin finally brushed over the coffins, opened the material cover on his wrist, and covered his whole body with a standard knight decompression suit.Putting on a breathing aid, he opened the alloy door of the airtight cabin, and the icy and deep cold from the universe enveloped his whole body in an instant.

Without gravity and pressure, he floated into the air with several coffins.In this light and weightless environment, Griffin pressed his fingers on the coffin a few times, the coffin trembled, and the booster started.Like light birds, those space coffins flew out of the cabin, flung into the void, and headed for the nearest sun.

A long journey with no return.

Without closing the hatch right away, Griffin just floated in mid-air, watching the shrinking black spots until they disappeared into the vast universe.

The airtight cabin was closed again, and the feet landed lightly on the deck.Griffin took off the breathing aid and turned his head, just like any other time, the figure stood behind him, watching him firmly, silent but gentle.

The coldness and loneliness that belonged to the universe quickly faded away, Griffin threw away the breathing aid in his hand, and strode out of the cabin.
