DNF, made by the ancient gods

"Do you need an excuse?"

Theon sat in the prison, facing this colleague in prison uniform, he didn't show much emotion for a while, he just raised his hand and handed him a bottle of wine.

Obviously, his current behavior is against the orders of his superiors, but he doesn't care about it - now the biggest official in the No. Come in and talk to old friends, I believe no one will have any objections.

Even if anyone has an opinion, he has to hold back, don't really think that he is easy to bully.

"unnecessary."

The slovenly man said in a hoarse voice, not knowing whether he was answering Theon's question or refusing his drink.

Or, maybe both.

After a long while, Theon put down the wine bottle and looked at the sloppy guy again, deeply moved.

"You've changed a lot."

He opened the wine bottle, took two glasses, and poured half a glass into each.

"I remember that you were the only one who argued for drinking before, and was once physically punished by the instructor because of drinking, but now you have become like this."

Theon looked at the man's shoulders, the broad shoulders drooping as if bent under a weight.

He got it, he got it the first time he saw the man.

"You're broken..."

"my friend."

When the entire army of the main battleship he brought with him was annihilated, and his beloved wife died in the roar, this man was already dead.

What was rescued was just an empty shell.

Chapter 021 Chaos Battle

Theon downed a glass of wine, and it tasted the same as before—bitter, off-putting.

"That's why I don't like drinking."

He put down the wine glass, and then looked at the man who lowered his head.

"Do me a favor, Kurt."

He didn't hesitate any more, this man who was filled with self-blame and powerlessness would not refuse his request, especially his request was related to this battle.

"I can't help you fix the mistakes you made, but I believe you are still willing to do something for this battle..."

"Similarly, I also believe that you won't be willing to make those deep-sea girls feel better, if nothing else, even if it's for your girls... right?"

Kurt's shoulders trembled. The man who had failed raised his head and stared at his old friend who had walked together for many years.

"I didn't make a mistake, but a crime. I know this better than you..."

He spoke slowly, and first corrected the beautification of him in Theon's words.He's committed the unforgivable crime, and he's been dying to do something before he's court-martialed.

It's not for the sake of committing crimes or meritorious deeds, nor is it to give myself hope of surviving.

He should have died a long time ago, but a famous ship lady snatched him out before he died, and died before him, so he survived.

As Theon said, he was already broken, and the wife who loved him tried her best to pull back his 120 kilograms of flesh, but nothing helped.

It is impossible for him to have a new life, as soon as he closes his eyes, the laughter of the girls is so clear in his eyes, how could he leave this past behind and pretend nothing happened?

Death is his way back.

This is his greatest wish - to die in this war, to die after avenging his lover and subordinates.

"Tell me, what do you need my help with?"

"Do you know? You still have the eleven girls left."

"What happened to them?"

"They are still planning how to rob you from this prison."

Kurt's breathing slowed, but he didn't speak.

"Don't worry, they're fine... As early as when they met secretly for the first time, I grasped their movements, and they have been under my surveillance since then, and I haven't interfered much."

"What do you want to say?"

"There is a big problem in the current tutelary fortress... The ship's mother's trust in humans—"

"Just like the ship girls that belong to you, they belong to you, not to the alliance, and most of the ship girls outside used to belong to their admirals, but now that their admirals are dead, they only belong to themselves. "

"No one can restrain them anymore, and now the only ones who can keep them fighting for mankind are themselves."

"You want me to persuade them?"

"Correct."

Theon opened his briefcase and didn't know what was hidden in it, but judging from the bulging appearance, it was definitely not documents.

"The root cause of this problem may be deep-rooted institutional problems, but when it comes to direct factors, it is because of you."

"I have the ability to suppress your former ship girls, but it is meaningless to do so. The method of treating the symptoms but not the root cause will only cause greater counterattacks from the remaining ship girls. By then, it will be more troublesome to appease, and even one can't handle it. Well, the already fragile tutelary palace may completely collapse because of this."

Kurt shook his head. He understood Theon's difficulty and also understood the hardship of the current situation.

"I can't let this war completely fail, Kurt, you should be able to understand me, I urgently need you to help me now, as an admiral who is allowed to commit crimes and meritorious service, tell them with your actual actions that the ship's mother is in place in the hearts of mankind."

—that is, a lie.

It is impossible for Kurt to have the opportunity to be guilty and meritorious. His crime determines that no matter how hard he struggles, it will only affect his dignity when he dies.

"Of course, I'm not a big man who is bound by rules and regulations at the decision-making level. A small man like me is very flexible. Whether you are willing to accept my kindness or not, I will let 'Kurt' die in this battle ..."

Both sides fell into silence, and it took a long time to hear Kurt's hoarse voice.

"Theon, you know I don't want to live."

"Sorry, I don't know, my dear friend."

Sean's performance at this time is somewhat humorous.

"I think you are at fault, but you are not guilty... Unfortunately, the general is away, and the emperor's order is not acceptable. Here the sky is high and the emperor is far away. I want to do something and no one can control it."

His voice gradually lowered, and after a long while of depression, he opened his mouth to speak quietly again.

"My friend, I know I shouldn't interfere with your choice, but I have to do something... You must give me life now, at least until this war is over, and the remaining ships that still love you You can die only after the girls have settled down, and then whether you want to jump into the sea or hang yourself, I won't bother you anymore."

Theon's hand reached into the briefcase, and the noise of the rattling plastic bag made Kurt a little confused, but the next moment, the pure white color reflected in his eyes made his heart move slightly.

——A brand new admiral's military uniform.

*

A storm was silently killed in the bud, and those guards outside the prison, who were only tens of meters away from the center of the storm, didn't know about it; The ship girls don't know; and likewise, Bai Hua doesn't know either.

The world is so big, not everything revolves around him.

The next day, an admiral named "Kurt" appeared in front of everyone. His eyes still revealed the unresolved depression, but it already made many ship girls extremely happy.

Strange to say, only a small part of these girls who are happy for Kurt belong to his girls, and the rest of the girls have never even had any connection with him.

But they just admired him, as if this sinner in the eyes of human beings was a stalwart hero in their eyes.

Bai Hua couldn't understand this phenomenon, and he didn't understand the cause and effect. Although he had joined the human camp, unless he took the initiative to ask, Theon would rarely communicate with him.

This is also normal, Xien is the admiral of this town guard mansion, he can be regarded as having a lot of opportunities every day, and he attaches great importance to Bai Hua when he has time to take care of Bai Hua, but how can he think about what Bai Hua lacks all day long?

After a day of observation, Bai Hua could find that there was a change in the mentality of the girls guarding the mansion.

--strange.

He was followed by the noisy girl who was chattering like a sparrow, and she was untouched.

She didn't know the cause and effect of this incident.

"War...will it be a good thing?"

Chapter 022 Chaos Battle

"Then you have to see what kind of war it is."

By the time he answered this question, they had already left the noisy crowd.The out-of-group blood mage likes to be quiet, but this uninterested little guy insists on following along.

"There are... different types of wars?"

"Yes, intelligent life defines the word 'war', and thus derives the two concepts of just war and unjust war within the race, and externally... that is race war."

He knows what mankind is facing in this era. If they had a choice, these war-torn people would definitely be happy to stop the war, but they couldn't do so, and even now they are still living in pain, for this A small part of the war.

Because, this is a war between races.

The deep sea is going to destroy human beings, and humans are going to kill the deep sea. The war between the two is life and death. As long as one side has not completely fallen, this war will continue forever.

"A race war..."

Shimakaze raised his head with emotion, and didn't pay attention to whether the road ahead was smooth or not.

"When both sides have the idea of ​​​​severing the war completely, there is no hope of reconciliation in this war..."

"Can humans win?"

The girl asked suddenly.

"Yes, but it's difficult. The greater possibility is that the two sides will fall into a stalemate. If the deep sea really doesn't have any hidden weapons, the combat power they have shown now is only enough for them to dominate the sea, not enough to defeat human beings." .”

"As for humans, humans who possess nuclear weapons are no longer afraid that the deep sea will one day exterminate mankind, but they also cannot solve the deep sea. I heard that the birthplace of the deep sea has not yet found specific coordinates, and human technology can only barely determine one. range, at least below 5000 meters in the deep sea."

"This kind of depth... even human nuclear weapons are powerless."

The moment a nuclear weapon explodes, everything can be destroyed, even Bai Hua cannot face that kind of disaster - his blood will be evaporated by the high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees in an instant, and he can't even withstand the physical shock wave produced by the nuclear explosion.

But even if it is such a nuclear weapon, it is impossible for it to explode to a depth of 5000 meters... No, this value is only the limit that human technology can detect. The birthplace of the deep sea may be [-] meters deep, or even It's [-] meters...

"Is stalemate mean that the war will never end?"

"The stalemate is going to end sooner or later."

He looked at a group of ship girls, six schoolgirl-like ship girls were transporting resource blocks compressed into one cubic centimeter.These resource blocks are one of the manifestations of the deformity of the world's technology tree - space compression, quality reduction.

The original solid steel of one cubic meter is compressed into small cubes of one cubic centimeter. The most important thing is that the quality of these steels seems to disappear with the compression. The small cubes are so light and frightening that even children can easily throw them up.

It may be acceptable for such technology to appear in civilizations of the fifth or even sixth technological revolution, but it is intriguing to appear in this human society that is still in the third information technology revolution.

"Maybe decades later, or maybe soon, this war will come to an end one day."

Resources are not unlimited, even without the intervention of an outsider like him, this war will come to an end due to the consumption of resources—or the "life" and resources on the bottom of the sea will be exhausted, or the land on human hands will no longer be able to survive. Production of steel, oil, or human technology breaks the limitations of the information technology revolution and enters a new world.

The possibilities for the future are many.

"And my preference is that this war will end soon."

The blood mage twisted his fingers, and the bloody thing boiled in his shadow.

He glanced at Zheng with a melancholy expression, showing an island style of pre-war anxiety.

Before it's too late, he will always "taste" what Jian Niang tastes like.

*

"Eh!!?"

The tone full of surprise was elongated, and the cherry-haired girl looked around, and found that she and the admiral were indeed the only two people in the lounge.

She trotted out the door, and took another serious look at the door sign——the lounge of the 502 team.

That's right, this is the break room of the 502nd team... But what about the people?

"The only ship girl I have now is you."

Bai Hua, who was questioned, told the "tragic" news to the fledgling and cute new ship girl. He saw the girl's uncontrollable expression, and disbelief was written on her face.

"No, Lord Admiral, why didn't Lord Theon send some seniors to come over, we are only two, and you..."

"They all have their own missions, and the ship's mother is usually a six-person team. Even if four people are really removed, there is no tacit understanding between us."

——It's better not to.

He glanced at the girl who was also classified as "no tacit understanding at all". Unfortunately, the girl obviously didn't realize that Bai Hua was implying that she was in the way.

He understood that this extra girl had to follow, she would be the link between Bai Hua and the Human Alliance, at least on the bright side, he would be the admiral belonging to the Human Alliance.
