Chapter 225
"You are willing to do anything for Troy and the others..."
Ash muttered, laughing quietly.
However, the self-mockery and bitterness that he could not suppress in his eyes almost burst out with the tears in his eyes.
Shen Yinyin paused for a moment, looking at the distraught Asus in front of her, crying in a hoarse voice: "No, not only them, but also those soldiers abandoned by the empire..."
"They are all the guardians of the empire. They are also human beings. They will be afraid and terrified. They also have the right to live. Their families are still waiting for them. They should not be abandoned..."
"Xiu, have you seen the cruelty of war? Have you seen the powerlessness of your comrades falling? Have you seen the land stained with blood and the ashes of the burning flames of war?"
"Have you ever experienced the feeling of being abandoned and waiting for death in despair?"
Every word the girl uttered, full of tears, was like countless heavy hammers, smashing Asus' blood to pieces and shattering his flesh and bones.
He seemed to be pushed back to the battlefield three years ago, and all the tragic memories resurfaced -
At that time, the Zerg army attacked frantically and formed a tight encirclement. In desperation, they sent countless requests for help to the empire, but all fell on deaf ears.
Asius also tried to ask his brother Louis for help, but he ignored his request for help.
In the end, the Empire even turned off their distress signals and they were abandoned by the Empire.
He just watched helplessly as his soldiers, his subordinates, his comrades... fell one by one.
He was seriously injured, his eyes red as he stood in front of the pile of corpses.
However, the so-called noble female who was saved by his soldiers at the cost of their lives, when faced with the death threat from the insect army, chose to identify his identity as the prince and betray him in order to get a chance to survive.
When his right arm holding the gun was cut off by the Zerg's sharp limbs, he used his only remaining left hand, holding the broken blade, and pierced the female's heart.
Blood stained his wisteria-colored eyes, and his world became cruel and scarlet.
The cold bullet pierced through his body, and the warm blood and his life quickly flowed away.
Asus couldn't remember how he fell. He only knew that everything in front of him and everything in his ears became hazy and blurry.
I don't know how much time had passed, but when he finally crawled out from the pile of dead bodies, he saw devastation everywhere.
In the dim night, the whole world was deathly silent.
The proud him, at that moment, seemed like a lonely ghost in the world.
Just when he thought he was going to die in the blood, the pirate leader recognized him.
The other party raised his foot and stepped on his chest, smiling sinisterly: "It's really pitiful that a dignified prince of the empire has fallen to this state..."
"It just so happens that I'm in need of a dog. Why don't you, the noble prince, be my dog? Hahahahaha!"
The other party laughed loudly and took him onto the starship.
Asus, who was almost dead, just dragged his empty right sleeve, in a crippled posture, barely lingering on, like a lowly dog, and was humiliated and tortured for several months.
Until he personally cut off the leader's limbs and slit his throat...
However, even after becoming a pirate leader, his situation remained unchanged.
The family members who had abandoned him still wanted him dead.
And the person he loves doesn't trust him or love him...
Why?
Why didn't anyone save him when he was in despair three years ago? ! No one asked him if he felt pain or was afraid? !
Why should he be the one to be abandoned? !
He had seen and experienced all the tragic scenes and desperate feelings she described!
He lost his right arm, his past, his dignity, and had died so many times that he had long since become a pathological madman.
He looked at the kind and beautiful girl in front of him, and his heart was filled with hatred and unwillingness.
Why could he be given up so easily back then, but now they are always remembered by her?
Why!
Asus' eyes were red, and his blood was surging and almost out of control. Suddenly, a beautiful bead rolled down from Shen Yinyin's body.
The crisp voice brought Ashus back from his confused thoughts.
When Asus saw the bead in front of him clearly, his pupils shrank slightly and he picked up the bead.
The meteor crystal still carried the girl's body temperature. Although its light was not as dazzling as that day, it was still brilliant.
Asus looked at the girl whose dress had fallen down to her chest, and his heart skipped a beat.
He raised his hand and restrainedly pressed down the dress she was about to pull down. With trembling hands, he held the crystal in front of her and said in a choked voice, "Why, is it still there?"
"I told you that I really like this crystal you gave me. I will keep it well."
Hearing this, Asus's pretended indifference was all shattered at this moment.
He suddenly thought of something and laughed at himself.
It was such a poor plan, but he still fell for it...
Ashus smiled and suddenly asked softly, "Little guy, what were you doing three years ago?"
"Why did I meet you so late..."
Too late.
Whether it was three years ago or in this relationship, he had lost miserably...
Asus placed the crystal in his hand into the girl's palm and gently helped her pull up her untied dress.
"Little guy, remember, from now on, you owe me..."
After saying this, Asus kissed the girl's tear-stained cheek reverently and gently.
When everyone on the pirate starship heard that their leader was going to support the imperial army, although they were reluctant, no one spoke up.
First, Shen Yinyin did not betray their leader, and second, as long as it was the leader's order, they would always obey.
Dawn breaks.
Duke Lebert, Dalton, Sally, Ivan and others who just missed Shen Yinyin were already on the battlefield.
Unfortunately, the empire's defeat in this war was inevitable.
All they could do was to allow all soldiers to evacuate the eighth star.
Just when the battle was getting intense, a huge pirate starship suddenly appeared above everyone.
Because the space pirates had previously launched sneak attacks on the Imperial Army, everyone looked alert and solemn for a moment.
"Why is Miss Shen up there?!"
I don't know who shouted.
Everyone noticed the girl standing with the blonde leader.
Just when they thought that the interstellar pirates had taken Shen Yinyin hostage and wanted to harm them, the pirate starship aimed its guns at the insect army.
The supplies looted by space pirates are almost countless, whether they are star coins and treasures, medicines, or weapons and ammunition.
Therefore, the powerful firepower temporarily suppressed the insect army's attack.
Now, everyone could see that the space pirates were not here to take advantage of their misfortune, but to help them.
As for why this group of space pirates known for their ruthlessness would help them, it would be self-evident just by looking at the girl next to the blonde leader.
The Zerg army, caught off guard, quickly turned their conflict towards the pirate starship.
The moment Shen Yinyin was hit by the powerful airflow of the exploding shell, she was not seriously injured because of Asus' protection.
"It's not safe here, go back to your room first."
Asus asked someone to send Shen Yinyin back to her room, but the entire starship began to shake violently.
When the bullet was shot at the pirate strategist, Shen Yinyin pulled him back.
"careful!"
The military advisor dodged the bullet, but before he could say thank you, there was another violent shake, and the girl in front of him was suddenly thrown out by the huge force.
"Miss Shen!"
The military advisor wanted to pull Shen Yinyin who was falling from the starship, but Asus was faster than him.
He jumped down without hesitation, his long golden hair flying in the wind.
Just as he firmly grasped the girl's waist and protected her in his arms, a stray bullet shot straight towards his forehead!
Ash's eyes narrowed and he tilted his head slightly.
"Bang" sound.
The stray bullet grazed the intricate and exquisite mask on his face.
The next moment, Shen Yinyin seemed to hear the subtle sound of a crack opening.
When she raised her head, she saw that the mask on Xiu's face was blown away by the strong wind, like shattered sunlight, scattered into countless golden fragments.
Under his long golden hair, his face, facing the dawn light, was fully revealed for the first time.
