back to Earth

Cheng Zhen didn't know how to answer Ya Sai's question.

In fact, at the bottom of his heart, he also vaguely felt that the ancient star field that Sean and the others went to was related to human beings.Even, it is likely to be the home planet they fled from back then.

Milky way, solar system, earth.

These nouns that were extremely familiar in previous lives are so unfamiliar to Cheng Zhen in this life.

So much so that when a new hope is placed in front of him, how much he looks forward to it, and how much fear he has.I am afraid that this is still just a fantasy, and I will be disappointed in the end.

Therefore, he could only say this to Yasai.

"Regardless of whether the ancient star field that Sean and the others went to is related to humans, I must follow." The black-haired boy said. "I must draw the end of my battle."

Asai smiled. "It's better for you to say this to Lord Rhine yourself. The deployment of personnel to chase the enemy is all arranged by him personally."

Well, it seems that I have to go to Rhine once.

Knowing that he couldn't escape this link, Cheng Zhen simply didn't care and asked. "Is Master Rhine free these days? Isn't he very busy?"

Regarding the question of the black-haired boy, Yasai smiled mysteriously.

"Busy is always busy, but I think no matter how busy you are, there will be time for Master Rhine to see you."

When Cheng Zhen left the training room, Yasai's hidden smile still lingered deeply in his mind.

What did he mean by saying that, and why did he always feel that Yasai was smiling in a very unreasonable way?

Cheng Zhen shook his head, shaking off those chaotic thoughts in his mind.He asked Yasai where Rhine was, and was about to go find him now.

Although he thought it would be embarrassing to meet him before, but now he knew that he couldn't avoid it. Cheng Zhen decided to make a quick decision and find Rhine as soon as possible to express his intention to challenge him.

Along the way, he passed many damaged areas that were being repaired.The war has come to an end, and many air fortresses on the Algar line of defense have been severely damaged, and the logistics team is non-stop repairing.On the contrary, those soldiers who had just retreated from the battlefield seemed very leisurely after taking time off.

When Cheng Zhen was walking towards Rhine's office, he met many resting non-commissioned officers on the way.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the eyes of these non-commissioned officers looked at him a little strangely, and there was an indescribable heat in them.

He carefully recalled where he had seen such familiar eyes.After a while, he slapped his head violently and finally remembered.

I remember that time when I returned to the academy from Storm Fortress, the group of people in the academy also looked at me with such almost fanatical eyes, which was exactly the same as the eyes of these non-commissioned officers today.

Perhaps the only difference is that the fanatical eyes of the Algar defense sergeants are much more restrained than the trainees.If it was in the academy, Cheng Zhen was sure that he would have been surrounded like last time.

He didn't want to experience the experience of being chased and intercepted like last time.After thinking about it, Cheng Zhen quickened his pace and quickly walked towards the destination that he had originally avoided, Rhine's office.

At the door of Rhine's office, as always, there were two soldiers standing guard.

With the experience of being stopped in front of the command room last time, Cheng Zhen did not dare to trespass this time.He walked up to the two soldiers and asked softly.

"I want to see His Majesty the Emperor, I wonder if he has time?"

The soldiers on guard looked at each other and replied respectfully. "Yes! Master Rhine has ordered that if you come, you can enter directly."

Cheng Zhen, who had obtained the permission to enter, looked back in surprise, surprised that the two soldiers used honorific words to him.

However, before he was surprised, the door of the office was opened, and a person walked out slowly.

"Cheng Zhen?"

Obviously, the person who walked out of Rhine's office did not expect to meet the black-haired boy here.

Cheng Zhen was also surprised, and even asked the humanity in front of him in disregard of etiquette. "Your Excellency Arthur! Why are you here?"

Arthur smiled. "Of course it's the same purpose as yours, to fight for the human army. I think this task is something that any human being can't wait to take over, isn't it?"

Hearing the deep meaning contained in the words of the commander of the human army, Cheng Zhen nodded and said. "Indeed. At least, I met you here."

"You came at just the right time. I just finished talking with the emperor-level lord, and I got a good result." Arthur started to leave, and smiled at Cheng Zhen. "Good luck."

"Oh, that's right!" Arthur who had walked a few steps suddenly turned around. "Forget to congratulate you on getting the medal. You will go down in history because of it, Cheng Zhen."

Looking at the back of Arthur leaving in puzzlement, and getting the medal?When did this happen?Puzzled, Cheng Zhen decided to solve his primary goal first, and then consider other questions.

Rhine seemed to have expected his arrival, and was sitting in the room waiting.

Seeing the black-haired boy stepping forward, he raised his head slightly. "Are you also here for the battle?"

Cheng Zhen also said bluntly when the meaning of the word was conveyed by Taoist. "Yes, I hope that Your Excellency the emperor will allow it."

The dark golden eyes looked at the young man standing in front of him, his figure was clearly reflected in the eyes, Rhine said in a low voice.

"You and the leader of the human army are both determined to win this pursuit. Is it because you want to find the lost home planet? If it ends up being nothing, what should you do?"

Cheng Zhen didn't expect Rhine to ask him such a question, but he had already asked himself this question in his heart, so he could answer it soon.

"The reason why I asked to fight is not only because I want to find my home planet. I also want to make a settlement with Sean. Please allow me."

He lowered his head slightly, nervously waiting for Rhine's reply.However, after waiting for a long time for an answer, Cheng Zhen couldn't help but look up lightly.

When he raised his head, he almost took a step back in shock.

Rhine had already walked to his side at some point, and was only a step or two away from him at this time.The two were so close that they could feel each other's breath.At such a close distance, Cheng Zhen could clearly see the slight curvature of Rhine's mouth.

He couldn't help but think of his inexplicable dream again. In the dream, the black figure left him and left, but in reality Rhine was so close to him.

"Before I give an answer, you still owe me an answer." Rhine's voice seemed to come from the other side of time and space, and it was transmitted to the true ears with some distortion.

"Answer?" The black-haired boy was puzzled.

The emperor-level lord raised his eyebrows in displeasure. "Don't tell me you forgot, you once promised me that you will give me an answer when we meet again."

The dissatisfied tone in those words stimulated Cheng Zhen's nerves, and he remembered it almost immediately.Rhine, he was referring to the fiancé incident that was almost a joke a long time ago!

I remember that after Rhine was rejected, he said that he would continue to question when we met again.Cheng Zhen originally thought that he had forgotten it, but he didn't expect that the emperor would mention it at this time.

"Your Excellency..." Cheng Zhenxin said a little nervously after changing the address. "Rhein, wouldn't it be that you are not going to approve my application for war before I give an answer?"

If so, it's nothing short of a threat, no!It's a naked forced marriage!

The dark golden eyes flashed quickly, and Rhine said in an unpredictable tone. "Thank you for the reminder, even though I didn't mean to. But—"

The emperor-level adults raised their eyebrows. "Since you have brought it up, then I will take advantage of it reluctantly. Cheng Zhen, until you give me a serious answer, I will not consider your application for the challenge."

What does it mean to dig your own grave, what does it mean to be self-abuse and not live!

Cheng Zhen clenched his lips, scolding himself all over in his heart.

"Rhein, don't you think doing this violates your identity? Is it necessary for you to do this?"

"It's necessary." A certain emperor didn't feel any pressure at all. "Even if I am rejected, I will not be in a good mood. Naturally, I will be depressed and unable to handle official duties, thus delaying some applications for war."

Rhine concluded calmly at the end. "So in order to avoid my bad mood, I hope you can wish me a smooth marriage proposal."

Cheng Zhen was in a hurry, he finally saw one of the famous specialties of the Golden Clan once again, thick-skinned.However, Rhine didn't notice it, staring at him with both eyes, and opened his mouth slowly.

"I, Rhine Bertutan, am here to ask Cheng Zhen, a human being. Would you like to be my lifelong partner, accompany me for life, and hold my hand forever." He stretched out his hand and gently put it on the shoulder of the black-haired boy. "Trust each other, rely on each other, deliver life and death, and never separate."

The sacred words, like a wedding vow, were solemnly spoken by Rhine word by word.

Cheng Zhen couldn't deny that he was really moved by the serious and focused eyes and the vows Rhine said.It may not necessarily be the same kind of emotion, but the words of entrusting life and death and trusting each other deeply resonated with him.

No matter on the battlefield or wherever, he always felt that he could completely let himself do everything in battle, and that only Rhine could be completely entrusted to him.Even if it was Shadow, when fighting with them, he didn't have the hearty feeling when fighting with Rhine.

However, will anyone enter into a marriage contract because of this?Life and death on the battlefield, and a partner in life, are these two concepts the same?

Those dark golden eyes seemed to see through the young man's doubts, and Rhine answered for him.

"For us Botutans, life is too long, and no relationship can last long. But you are the only one who makes me want to take the initiative to enter into a partner's contract. Cheng Zhen, I don't want you to belong to others. You only belong to My mate, whether on the battlefield or elsewhere."

After experiencing tacit understanding and motivation to fight side by side again and again, Rhine is more sure.This human boy gave me a different feeling, only he could ignite a spark in his quiet life.As he continued to linger, Rhine decided to catch him early.

"I believe you can also feel this close and profound connection. No one can make us feel this way except for each other. Mastering each other's life and death on the battlefield, holding each other's life in the palm of your hand, is like holding each other tightly. connected." Looking at the wavering and doubtful young man, Rhine continued his efforts.

"In your mind, is there anyone more worthy of trusting your back than me?"

Cheng Zhen was not convinced by the confident words of His Majesty the Emperor.However, after careful consideration, he found that in his life, Rhine really had an unusual status.It was a different feeling from family members and friends, but it was also incomparable to anyone.

Perhaps, he had discovered this as early as when he realized that dream full of hints, and when he was attached to the exclusive warmth that belonged to Rhine.

In the end, the black-haired boy sighed, and met the burning metallic eyes in front of him.

"Please allow me to make one more request..."

Let it be the final struggle. After all, he never thought that he would enter into a marriage contract with a Botutan.

Everything is like a dream.

Finally, the emperor-level lord agreed to Cheng Zhen's small request, and also approved his application for the challenge with satisfaction.Inform the boy to prepare for attack as soon as possible, and the pursuit force will set off tomorrow.

After Cheng Zhen finished everything, he felt exhausted. He had endured too many surprises today, which made him even more exhausted than fighting on the battlefield.

"One more thing." However, Rhine didn't seem to have any plans to let him go. "About your medal..."

"Medal?" Cheng Zhen was surprised, this was the second time he had heard this word.

In a good mood, Rhine rarely showed a smile.

"Complete special tasks, and at the same time fully prove that you have the strength to rival the emperor. The General Council decided to award you a medal—Victor's successor."

The moment he heard the name of the medal, the boy's black eyes suddenly widened, full of surprise and disbelief.

Victor's successor, this medal signed by the God of War Victor.So far, the Interstellar General Assembly has only issued ten.

And these ten winners all have a common identity—for example, the Rhine in front of him, the emperor rank.

That's right, Victor's successor is a special medal of honor that is defaulted to be awarded only to emperors!

After the shock, Cheng Zhen finally came back to his senses.

He finally understood why all the non-commissioned officers looked at him with such fanatical eyes along the way, and even Arthur joked that his name would go down in history.

No, that can't be called a joke.

As the first human being to receive this medal in history, Cheng Zhen is destined to leave his mark forever in interstellar history.
