Chapter 96
When passing the seventh star, Shen Yinyin looked at the backward and dilapidated environment outside the window and felt the cruelty brought by war for the first time.
Although the eighth star was the front line of the war, the neighboring seventh star was still greatly affected.
It was different from the prosperous scene she saw on the fifth star of the capital.
Not only are the buildings on the Seventh Planet dilapidated, but the population is also mostly gender neutral.
The survivors had numb eyes, were mostly thin, looked frightened, and suffered from the torture and destruction of the war...
The closer you get to the eighth star, the more desolate and silent it becomes.
When the starship docked at the Imperial Legion Headquarters on the Eighth Star, Shen Yinyin's face turned pale.
"Be good, stop looking."
Lewis covered Shen Yinyin’s eyes, his low tone carrying a bit of heaviness.
A team of seriously injured male soldiers lay on stretchers stained with blood. Their bloody appearance with broken limbs and arms was tragic and desperate.
Shen Yinyin's long curled eyelashes trembled slightly, "Will they die..."
"The Empire's medical team will install the most advanced mechanical limbs for them."
Shen Yinyin pulled Louis's hand down, her eyes pitying and serious: "Will those things move as freely as their original hands and feet?"
"Yes." Louis paused before saying the rest.
"However, with their disabled bodies, they will either be abandoned by their female wives or will never be able to match with females again..."
This answer stunned Shen Yinyin.
The cruelty of the empire towards males was far beyond her imagination...
Shen Yinyin looked up at the tall building in front of her that was flashing with cold light, and the heavy night sky above the building.
There is a feeling of desperate suffocation.
She was wearing a white dress, with black hair and fair skin. She stood on this land soaked in blood, looking out of place like a pure and charming white rose blooming in the darkness.
All the soldiers and officers were in a trance for a moment when they saw Shen Yinyin.
After all, the Eighth Planet is dangerous and cruel. No woman, whether genderless or noble female, has ever been willing to come here.
Therefore, when everyone suddenly saw such a breathtakingly beautiful girl appear, they all felt a sense of unbelievable absurdity.
"Your Highness the Sixth Prince, why are you here?"
Louis supported the officer who wanted to salute: "No need to be polite, I heard that the battle on the front line was fierce and Colonel Winter was unconscious, so I came to take a look."
The officer's gaze unconsciously lingered on Shen Yinyin for a while.
"Your Highness, no one outside of the army is allowed to enter or leave without permission."
"She is Colonel Winter's sister and one of my people. She is not considered an irrelevant person."
Hearing this, the officer said no more.
After notifying Admiral Troy, he led the two men to the treatment room where Colonel Winter was.
The gentle and handsome man with flaxen brown hair was now pale and lying quietly in the medical cabin.
Shen Yinyin's eyes were red, and the feeling of having lost everything once again engulfed her.
When Troy rushed over, he saw the girl's slender white hands gently stroking the transparent medical cabin, crying silently and sadly.
Troy, who failed to fulfill his promise, opened his dry lips and his throat choked slightly.
He was dressed in a bloodstained military uniform, with messy white hair tied up high, a few strands hanging down on the cold and hard lines of his face.
"I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of him."
Troy's low and obscure voice made Shen Yinyin raise her head.
Troy, who had always been as aloof as a god, now had a cold and furrowed brow filled with self-blame.
His white eyelashes drooped, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and he didn't dare to look directly at the crying girl.
Shen Yinyin shook her head, "Admiral Troy, this is not your fault."
Louis asked the military doctor beside him in a cold tone: "It's been a day and a night, why hasn't he woken up yet?"
The military doctor said with difficulty: "Your Highness, the imperial reinforcements have not arrived yet, and the energy source warehouse for treatment has just been captured by the insect army, so..."
The familiar words made Louis' face look ugly.
After all these years, the Empire's way of doing things remains the same.
The empire that has never been abandoned by soldiers is always abandoning the so-called useless people...
Louis frowned and said nothing more.
Shen Yinyin was not a person who made trouble for no reason. She knew clearly that the legion was suffering a heavy blow at the moment.
No one would risk the lives of more male soldiers for a Winter...
She also had no way or position to request or ask them to do all this.
Louis arranged a lounge for Shen Yinyin, but she refused, she just wanted to stay with Winter.
As the night deepened, Shen Yinyin came to Troy's lounge and was about to knock on the door, but found that it was ajar.
She opened the door—
Troy sat on the edge of the bed, his upper body naked, his long white hair loose, his sharp and handsome profile biting one end of the bandage, the hideous wound on the back of his shoulder was still oozing blood.
"Let me help you."
Shen Yinyin said as she walked forward and took the bandage from between Troy's teeth.
Troy stiffened at the sudden approach of the girl.
He knew how much he missed her.
It was precisely because of this that he was afraid of seeing disappointment or resentment in her eyes.
So he restrained his strong emotions and gave her space rationally and calmly.
In Shen Yinyin's impression, Troy is a powerful, perfect, cold as ice, and like a banished immortal.
But even such an excellent god of war can get hurt and bleed...
The moment Shen Yinyin's slightly cool fingertips accidentally touched Troy's skin, Troy's breathing became heavier and his body instantly became tense.
She just thought he was in pain and moved even more gently.
Troy sat on the bed with his legs apart while the delicate and pretty girl stood between his legs.
Because they were so close, he could smell her warm, familiar scent.
The black hair that fell from her shoulders brushed against his broad and strong arms, and it was cold and tingling.
"Don't you blame me?"
Troy's eyes swept over the girl's slender waist and long neck, and finally stopped at her face.
"I should blame the space pirates, not you who got hurt while protecting the people of the empire..."
Troy's eyes moved slightly, and he grasped the girl's slender waist with both hands, pulling her to sit on his lap.
He held her pretty face in his hands, his silver eyes gentle and serious: "Don't be afraid, I will get the energy source for you."
After saying that, Troy's lips slowly fell on the girl's moist red lips...
After Shen Yinyin returned to the medical room, she glanced at Winter who was in a coma and opened the military map she had stolen from Troy.
The battle was fierce at the moment, and as a general, Troy shouldn't take risks for her.
He is not only her master, but also the protector of millions of people.
When Shen Yinyin was analyzing the route, a cold and unfamiliar electronic voice sounded -
Don’t take any chances.
