Chapter 215
"By the way, are Louis, Dalton, and Duke Lebert all right?"
The first thing Shen Yinyin did after returning to the military headquarters was to change clothes.
It’s not that she disliked Xiu’s clothes, but Louis said that the skirt suited her better.
As she changed her clothes, she asked about the empire, but Louis had something on his mind and answered absentmindedly.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the crystal stone that the girl had been holding in her palm at the head of the bed, and his eyes moved.
The glittering crystal is very beautiful, but it feels cool in the hand. Judging from the halo, it is obvious that it has just fallen not long ago.
When Shen Yinyin came out after changing her clothes, she saw Lewis holding her crystal stone with his white fingertips, and suddenly asked, “Who gave this to you?”
Shen Yinyin's heart skipped a beat.
She knew that Louis didn't like Xiu.
No, it should be said that no one would like Xiu... because he is an interstellar pirate and has never been the same kind of person as them.
Her long eyelashes trembled as Shen Yinyin took the crystal stone with a guilty look in her eyes: "No one gave it to me. I just picked it up..."
Louis could tell his young mistress was lying, but he didn't call her out.
He rarely saw her and didn't want to waste time on other people's affairs, even if he knew she was lying to him.
"I'll give you something more beautiful later. It's late. It's time to go to bed."
Shen Yinyin was gently coaxed to bed by Louis. After the other party covered her with the quilt, he sat on the edge of the bed and showed no intention of resting.
"Louis, don't you want to rest?"
Louis shook his head and said nothing, his handsome profile dazzling under the light.
Shen Yinyin's fair cheeks were slightly red, and her voice was soft and sticky: "If the military doesn't have any extra rooms, you can sleep with me..."
Facing the girl's shy invitation, Lewis's thin lips curled slightly, and when he leaned over, he showed a teasing smile: "The sleep you said, is it the kind of sleep I think of..."
Under the golden hair, Louis' violet eyes were slightly narrowed, and the raised corners of his eyes were elegant and charming.
Shen Yinyin blushed at the other party's deliberately prolonged ending tone and meaningful expression.
She tilted her head and snorted softly, "Humph, you obviously know what I mean!"
"Of course I know."
Louis smiled, lowered his head and kissed the girl's cheek and lips.
It's not that he wasn't moved, it's just that he was exhausted from traveling and had other important things to do, so he had very little time to spend with her.
"Be good, I'll wait until you fall asleep before I go to rest."
Shen Yinyin was indeed tired, and soon her breathing became steady.
Because she fell asleep, her palm loosened slightly, and the crystal lying inside rolled to the side of the pillow.
Louis had already guessed who had sent it, and there weren't many places near the eighth star where a meteor shower had just occurred and where one could get crystals directly...
After Lewis turned off the lights, his slightly cool thin lips covered the girl’s red lips.
When he raised his head, the tenderness and affection in his gaze, which was hidden in the darkness, faded away, leaving only solemnity and coldness.
"Wait until I come back."
"I will become the crown prince, and you, my little wife, will be the next queen of the empire..."
After saying that, Louis left without looking back.
Emily, who was sitting uncomfortably in front of the window, became even more panicked when she saw Louis leave.
Because she found that the queen didn't care about her life or death, and now the war was imminent, and the potion she used to disguise herself as Double S was almost used up.
She didn't want to expose her identity, nor did she want to die on the front line, so she had to leave here!
After the optical computer was connected, Emily yelled at the family members: "Are you useless? Didn't you say that you had already made arrangements? Why is there still no movement now?!"
"Without the Queen's order, we dare not make a big move. Miss Emily, please wait a moment."
"Wait?! The Zerg army is approaching. The longer I stay, the more dangerous it will be! Don't forget! I am a double S-level female. If I die, do you think the remaining useless females in the family can replace me?!"
The person on the other end of the computer was silent for a moment after hearing this and said, "We will try our best to arrange it."
After receiving this promise, Emily calmed down a little.
However, the war came faster than anyone expected.
At the break of dawn.
A deafening explosion completely shattered the tranquility of the sky.
When the Zerg attacked the Eighth Planet, the pirate starship that was hiding at the edge of the sea of stars was also attacked violently...
Shen Yinyin originally thought that the scene she saw on the day she arrived was tragic enough.
But when a more brutal war came, the cruel reality swept everyone doubly.
Under the successive military orders, mechas broke through the morning mist one after another, and the tall and cold figures of soldiers emerged like a tide.
Amid the smoke and gunfire, countless mechas were smashed and fell, and countless soldiers who were burdened with heavy tasks, covered in blood, and lost arms or legs did not even have time to be sent back for treatment.
The dark army of insects was like darkness coming from the horizon, ready to swallow up the sunlight and all life...
Soon, Major Grayson, Major Yuri, Colonel Winter, Admiral Troy...
Even Nornton, who was supposed to leave this morning, had to go to the battlefield one after another because of the critical situation.
Even the Eighth Star Legion Headquarters was in a precarious situation at this time.
Stray bullets attacked the building, and in the midst of the flames of war, everywhere was once again filled with seriously injured and dying male soldiers.
The strong smell of blood was mixed with the pungent smell of gunpowder, wailing, uncontrolled roaring, panicked screams of females, and the officers' commanding voices that had already become hoarse...
All this, amidst the deafening sound of artillery shells and the clouds of dust, formed a picture of despair.
After Shen Yinyin finished bandaging the soldier, she slowly raised her head——
Her clothes were stained with blood, her face was pale, and her ears were buzzing.
She and countless innocent people affected by the war stood under the gray sky and felt for the first time the insignificance of human beings in the face of life and death.
She didn't understand why the Zerg and the Empire had to start a war and why so many innocent people had to die...
"Get lost! I said! I won't waste time appeasing you!"
The sharp shouting brought Shen Yinyin back to her senses from her trance.
She looked at Emily, who was standing among the wounded in gorgeous clothes, and her eyes instantly sank.
"Emily."
Seeing Shen Yinyin, the worried officer seemed to have seen a savior, "Miss Shen, Miss Emily is unwilling to be comforted..."
"Shen Yinyin! Don't try to scare me again. I'm telling you! This time, you don't even know whether your lovers are dead or alive at the front line, and whether they can come back. Don't expect me to be here to die with you!"
Snapped!
As soon as Emily finished speaking, she was slapped hard by Shen Yinyin.
Shen Yinyin's eyes were red. She grabbed Emily's wrist as she tried to fight back, and said through gritted teeth, "Listen carefully, go and appease them now... Otherwise, I will make you die like Daisy, without a complete body!"
Shen Yinyin's threat in a low voice made Emily's face change.
"You also said that it's uncertain whether they and I can return alive. In that case, killing one female is killing, and killing two... is also killing..."
