The tight-fitting combat suits on their bodies allow them to adapt to the environments of most planets. Although it is actually safer to sleep directly in the Molten Knight armor, but...
This choice was tacitly ignored by the five people.
Although the [Firefly Armor] is very safe, the Grammer Iron Cavalry prefers to directly use their bodies to touch and experience this world full of vitality. And in the final analysis...
Their armor is sometimes also their prison.
"As expected, life always instinctively desires freedom."
Bai Ge said with emotion as he looked at the four people around him who were already fast asleep.
[Savior] looked at the knights with compassion. Tonight was actually a very ordinary night, but for the Grammer Iron Knights, it could be said to be an unprecedented happiness and freedom.
These girls and boys who don't even have names and are born with the fate of fighting may look to be seventeen or eighteen years old, but in fact, if Bai Ge is excluded, the oldest is only three or four years old.
They are born mature and strong.
Weapons born for war have no need for childhood.
Even... not even the future is needed.
Bai Ge was full of compassion for the Grammer Iron Cavalry, so in the dream woven by Titania, he always spared no effort to teach all the knights the fighting skills, and always accepted the most dangerous tasks.
In this way, I hope the survival rate of other knights will increase.
But even so, countless knights still fell. In this universe, the wreckage of the cavalry merged with the stardust into a long river, flowing quietly among the stars. This became the only trace of their existence.
As long as this world-destroying disaster called [Universal Locust Plague] continues, the Grammer Iron Cavalry will have no future.
"I should... do something."
Bai Ge murmured as he looked at the four people's sleeping faces.
[Savior] is a star god who likes to meddle in other people's affairs. Although Bai Ge initially accepted the identity of Grammer Iron Cavalry simply for the enjoyment of fighting, he now wants to do something for these knights.
And the first thought that came to his mind was.
End this disaster!
Only by ending this global locust plague and depriving them of their reason to fight can the Grammer Iron Cavalry have a future beyond weapons. Then they may be able to live a normal life.
But just when Bai Ge was thinking about what to do.
"Um... um... Captain...?"
The girl numbered AR-26710 next to her opened her eyes and raised her eyebrows in surprise when she saw Bai Ge was still awake.
"Hmm? Did I wake you up?"
"No, that's not the case, Captain. We Grammer Iron Cavalry don't have the ability to dream, and our sleep duration is much shorter than that of ordinary people."
"But you're too short. It's only half a system hour."
Bai Ge folded his hands around his elbows and said, "And... In fact, it's not that the Grammer Iron Cavalry doesn't dream, but that they have been living in a dream since the beginning."
A knight who has already lived in a dream will certainly not dream anything else.
In fact, this truth involves a cruel secret.
"Um, actually I'm... reluctant to fall asleep."
The girl hesitated for a moment and then said that she felt it would be a waste to spend the night sleeping. Usually at this time, she would either be soaking in strengthening fluid or on her way to a battlefield somewhere.
Looking up at the twinkling stars in the night sky, the girl felt extremely dreamy. Even though it seemed very ordinary to Bai Ge, this was indeed the most peaceful, tranquil and happy time in her life.
Because if you open the girl’s memories as if they were a photo album.
Then you will find that more than 70% of your memories are about fighting.
The remaining 30% are either in training or in the laboratory.
"Captain, tell me...why are we living?"
"……Why do you ask?"
Bai Ge looked at her in surprise. The Grammer Iron Cavalry rarely felt confused about their lives because they had long been instilled with the idea that they should fight for Grammer and for the Queen.
"...Aren't we weapons, born to serve the Queen and the Empire? But if that's the case, why are we given the ability to think? Why are we given hearts?"
The girl raised her hand and pressed it to her heart, looking confused.
Weapons don't require thinking.
Weapons don't need a heart either.
Just keep fighting.
"........."
Bai Ge looked at her silently. In fact, the answer was very cruel.
Because this makes their combat effectiveness stronger. Compared with weapons that cannot think and only obey orders completely, weapons that can think like humans can adapt to the cruel battlefield more flexibly.
That's why the Grammer Iron Cavalry was endowed with human minds.
But because of this, Bai Ge couldn't say the answer.
"I've actually been on missions to many planets. On some planets, I saw children around our age who were free to choose their own paths. Captain... what do you think, if the war ends one day, can we be like them?"
The girl looked at Bai Ge hopefully.
"Yes, it will definitely work, definitely..."
Bai Ge gave his affirmation without hesitation. He raised his hand and gently touched AR-26710's head. This girl, who was born as a weapon, developed a yearning for being human. She wanted to become a human.
This made Bai feel very relieved.
After receiving Bai Ge's affirmative answer, the girl immediately showed a beautiful smile on her face, and then nodded heavily.
As mentioned before, she had a longing for Bai Ge.
However, this was not just because of the latter's powerful strength, but more because she was attracted by Bai Ge's living appearance, that kind of life that was completely different from weapons, full of vitality and burning.
Although they are all Grammer Iron Cavalry and are fighting to destroy the Zerg, compared to others, Bai Ge's fighting looks so free, even... it can be said that she is enjoying it!
AR-267190 has never been able to figure out the reason.
But it's actually very simple.
Because they are weapons forced to fight.
Bai Ge was the one who chose to go to the battlefield.
However, although she could not understand the reason, she was involuntarily attracted to Bai Ge. The girl numbered AR-26710 admired Bai Ge and wanted to become a human like him.
"...That's right."
Bai Ge noticed the girl's intentions.
No, I should say I had already vaguely realized it.
It’s just that I’ve never been sure about the nature of this feeling.
At first, I thought he was in love with me, but later Bai Ge denied this guess. After all, it was impossible for a Grammer Iron Knight who had not even fully awakened himself to awaken the feeling of [love].
And now he was sure that the girl's heart was filled with desire.
She wanted to be like herself.
Just like a fledgling bird that has not yet grown its wings feels longing when it sees a white dragon soaring in the sky, and just like a moth in the dark will chase after the light of fire without hesitation.
Bai Ge is not a blockhead with negative emotional intelligence. In fact, when it comes to "understanding people's hearts", even Alicia cannot compare to him. So after thinking for a moment, he spoke.
"Do you want a name?"
"Eh? But I already have AR-26710..."
"It's not a name, it's just a number."
Bai Ge shook his head and said, he firmly denied that this thing made up of cold numbers and abbreviations was a name.
On the other side, AR-26710 was stunned for a moment, then remembered that the person in front of her had always called herself "Bai Ge". At this moment, she realized that this was her real name, and suddenly a desire surged in her heart.
She wanted a name, a name as nice as Bai Ge.
"It seems you agree. Emmm, let me think about it."
"Please, please!"
The girl looked at Bai Ge nervously and expectantly. She knew that she was too ignorant and could do nothing except fighting. She definitely couldn't come up with a nice name.
So the girl gave the right to name herself to Bai Ge. She believed that if the captain who was omnipotent, who could kill messengers and barbecue meat, he would definitely be able to give her a good name.
Even if it doesn’t sound very good, it doesn’t matter!
Now she just wants a name that belongs only to her!
AR-26710 should be thankful that the person in front of her is Bai Ge, a person with rich naming experience, and not some star core spirit. Otherwise, if she were called Xiaobai or Xiaomi...
At this moment, a firefly suddenly flew over and landed on Bai Ge's fingertips as if by fate.
This gave him a wonderful inspiration.
"Flashes of light are fleeting, their brilliance is fleeting, while the flicker of a firefly's flame burns forever... How about your name be [Firefly]?"
"Liu... Firefly?"
"Well, it's the same as the armor we wear. Fireflies are just ordinary flying insects in the sun, but at night their light can even outshine the stars. These seemingly tiny lives have the potential to illuminate the night sky."
Bai Ge smiled and looked at the girl in front of him.
"A life as thin as a cicada's wing can also burn brightly. May your life burn brightly and find your own future."
"!!!"
At this moment the girl was given a name.
Liuying looked at the white boy in front of her.
Her heart began to beat vigorously as if she were reborn.
First update, please give me flowers, votes and rewards.
