Bengtie, I'm really not a villain!

Then, in order to transform the pain in her body into tenderness, Liuying no longer resisted Jingye's embrace and held him tightly.

Jingye fully felt just how scorching hot the firefly's body temperature was, as if it were walking on a furnace.

The searing pain that felt like his whole body was being burned continued to torment Jing Ye's heart, but he still refused to let go.

This is his beloved doll. No matter how cruel his methods were in the past when he was intimately involved with Liuying, what does it matter if it's just a scorching heat at this moment?

Just as his cruelty towards Liuying was merely a seasoning for their relationship, the burning pain Liuying was experiencing was simply a catalyst for the intensification of their feelings.

Jingye endured the scorching heat and the burning pain all over Liuying's body, and as always, he began to open his heart to Liuying.

As always, the actions were brutal, and as always, the minefields were targeted at Firefly.

He aimed at the firefly's entire being, allowing her to merge with him in that moment.

………………

[And in the embrace of the firefly, your passionate hearts collide with itss.]

Your actions in comforting the fireflies were still as brutal as ever.

However, Liu Ying could clearly sense an unprecedented tenderness in your movements.

This is the first time you've shown tenderness since you first opened your heart to Liuying.

Unlike the brutal methods of the past, at this moment you feel sorry for the doll who is suffering for you, and show her the warmest tenderness.

Although the actions were as brutal as ever, this moment was the sweetest tenderness for Liuying.

Your gentleness, which wouldn't let go even when you were scalded all over, completely captivated Liuying's heart, and tears of emotion streamed down her face.

[The familiar pain made Liu Ying groan softly, letting this pain occupy the most important place in her heart, filling it completely.]

The pain caused by the Grammer Cavalry's transformation was completely rejected by Firefly.

The pain you inflicted on Liuying made her truly forget everything else and immerse herself in her love for you.

[Until the Grammer Ironclad was successfully modified, the artifact was completely integrated into the Firefly's body.]

Under your loving care, the firefly completed its transformation without any danger.

From this day forward, Firefly is a member of the Grammer Knights, possessing the power to unleash flames from her armor.

The heartfelt connection you share with Liu Ying, a love that is both brutal and passionate, continues.

[With the transformation of the artifact complete and its integration into Liuying's body, her pure white body no longer glowed red, and she was able to perfectly control the flames and temperature.]

However, the rough marks left by your passionate love affair with her remain on Liu Ying's body.

[The firefly's pure white body, scarred and battered because of you, is now covered in mecha amidst the surging flames.]

This is the capability of the Grammer Cavalry.

[And I regard you, my beloved firefly, as my own, and I also include you in the Grammer Cavalry.]

Inside the armor, you and the fireflies remain inseparable.

Your hearts, intertwined with the fireflies' gentle flow, have made you utterly inseparable.

You are unprecedented, the Grammer Cavalry, a two-man unit.

[The other Grammer cavalry can only fight alone, but the Firefly is a miraculous existence.]

[Beneath the deep, sticky love between you and the firefly, the wondrous object that has entered the firefly's heart also regards you as a member of the Grammer Knights.]

Because you have completely occupied the heart of the firefly.

[The combination of you and the firefly will maximize the effect of the "Puppet" entry.]

[From now on, you and Liuying no longer need to communicate. Although in the past, during intense heart-to-heart talks, only a gesture and a glance were needed, and words were no longer required for each other to understand each other's feelings.]

However, at this moment, your hearts are truly united, and with your minds in perfect harmony, you are already the most understanding and compatible lovers.

With such a perfect puppet, are you confident that you can find hope of survival in the Zerg war by combining it with the effects of the "Marionette" mechanic?

Just as you were strategizing and planning your moves, you left the closed-door chamber with Firefly, only to discover a shocking scene—

The Grammer Empire fleet is nearly annihilated.

The next chapter will finally feature the egg-laying scene! The editor originally said I'd start with 6 words a day, but I couldn't resist writing a little more.

Sakurajima feels so itchy when I'm not writing; Mai is crawling all over me.

Chapter 55 Battlefield Tide

The unique combination of you and the firefly is something you never expected.

[You wouldn't believe how "The Puppet on a String" can be triggered like this, sharing a mech with Firefly, truly feeling like you're right next to her, controlling her in battle.]

[You and Firefly tried moving around inside the armor. Under the effect of "Puppet on a String," you and Firefly were stronger than ever before.]

[The almost intertwined souls of you and the firefly, combined with the "Puppet on a String," make the armor's power even more terrifying.]

Even though it's two people piloting the mecha together, you two work together like one person.

Together, the two of them powered the core strength of the Grammer Ironclad, further increasing the power of the artifact.

With the "Marionette" tag effect, your and Firefly's combat power as Grammer Knights will be greatly enhanced, allowing you to perfectly utilize the power of the artifact.

With the power of the Grammer Cavalry, and recalling the elite troops you had encountered on the Zerg battlefield, you finally felt more confident.

With this power, you and Firefly might have a chance to survive the Zerg war.

[You and Liuying are closely linked within the mecha, and you smile warmly at how perfectly you both use this powerful force.]

As you and Liuying confidently leave the cabin, you discover something shocking—

The Grammer Empire fleet was almost completely wiped out.

All the Grammer Empire fleets on the Sky Front were utterly defeated.

[You are shocked to discover that the Grammer Cavalry, which was previously able to fight many Zerg forces to a standstill on the Sky Front, has once again been forced back repeatedly.]

The Grammer Cavalry, which were originally on par with the Zerg, seemed to have encountered an insurmountable enemy.

The Grammer Empire's fleet lines were broken once again, forcing them to retreat to the rear time and again.

[During the time you and Liuying were in seclusion to refine your skills, the battle lines that had maintained a stalemate for some time were utterly crushed. To date, the Grammer Empire has lost only the capital city as its remaining territory!]

Currently, less than 10% of the Grammer Empire's fleet remains, and all soldiers are gathered near the capital city.

This is precisely why the seclusion chamber you and Liuying were in was unaffected.

Although the battle lines at the heart of the Empire remain stagnant, the situation is far from optimistic.

The Grammer Empire fleet's earlier triumph over a stalemate, and even its plans for a counterattack, all crumbled overnight.

The Grammer Empire fleets led by other generals suffered over 80% casualties, and the remaining forces not personally led by generals were completely annihilated by the Zerg.

[Only through the combined efforts of all the generals have the center of the empire been barely preserved, but it remains in grave danger.]

Two generals have already died heroically in the war.

Only when faced with this desperate situation did everyone realize that your worries were indeed justified.

The sudden surge of Zerg power has swiftly destroyed what was once a relatively evenly matched battlefield, and now even the heart of the Empire is on the verge of collapse!

Everyone is eagerly awaiting your and Liuying's appearance.

Now, you and the fireflies have finally appeared!

As soon as you and Firefly, seen as the only saviors, appeared, the many survivors of the Grammer Empire fleet hurriedly cried for help.

[As soon as you left the cabin, you and Firefly rushed to the battlefield!]

On the smoke-filled battlefield, despair surged towards the soldiers like a tidal wave. The wreckage of warships floated in the darkness, their faint light barely illuminating this cruel area.

Faced with the endless swarm of Zerg, the soldiers were exhausted, their eyes filled with helplessness and despair.

At this critical moment, a blinding blue light ripped through the night sky! A tall mecha knight descended from the heavens like a shooting star!

This unique Grammer cavalry is engulfed in scorching flames, dancing like a fire dragon, its metallic shell gleaming coldly under the starlight!

[With the twin swords of Azure Flame unleashing streaks of fire, the densely packed enemy swarm of insectoids was instantly incinerated!]

Someone shouted, and hope rekindled in the soldiers' eyes; cheers echoed throughout the battlefield!

[The azure flames you and the fireflies ignited, accompanied by the cheers of countless soldiers, swept across the entire battlefield, engulfing the low-level insectoid swarms wherever the flames touched!]

The soldiers, already terrified by the dense swarms of low-level insects, seemed to have their fighting spirit rekindled by the raging flames!

[As flames burst forth, countless soldiers follow in your footsteps and the firefly's footsteps, charging into battle!]

After a brief clearing, you've cleared a patch of ground on the battlefield where you can catch your breath.

The soldiers of the Grammer Empire fleet were astonished by your and Liuying's Grammer cavalry, which appeared even more imposing and majestic than any other Grammer cavalry!

A profound sense of security took root in everyone's hearts amidst the extraordinary physique and dazzling armor, and cheers echoed across the battlefield in celebration of your and Liu Ying's names.

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, you and the firefly landed steadily on the battlefield. Your arrival turned the tide of what seemed like an inevitable defeat, and you became eternal heroes in everyone's hearts.

[Unbeknownst to the cheering soldiers, as the mech knights danced on the battlefield, your connection with Liuying inside the mech grew even stronger.]

【It is precisely because it is meant to accommodate you and the firefly that this mecha knight becomes even more magnificent and awe-inspiring】

Inside the mecha, you and Firefly are closely connected thanks to the internal armor. Coupled with your tacit understanding and the effects of "Puppet on a String," you can move with incredible dexterity.

What makes Ying blush is that every time you dance with her, the vigorous movements always bring you closer together.

[As the mecha knight wielded her twin swords, your close connection with the firefly caused her to let out a muffled groan.]

Although Liu Ying's tolerance threshold is very high, the novel experience of being on the battlefield in front of both friend and foe was so exciting that it lowered her physical threshold.

Of course, the connection with your love is also a factor.

Aside from shyness, both you and Liuying were surprised by the twin swords with their blue flames. Although you felt the power was overwhelming, its strength was unexpectedly powerful.

[Furthermore, you noticed that when the fireflies trembled slightly due to the closer connection, the blue flames grew even stronger.]

[It was as if fireflies were in high spirits, especially with the liquid fuel she provided, which could give the mecha knights even greater power.]

[And the many survivors of the Grammer Empire fleet who hailed you as heroes were unaware of the romantic encounters you and Liuying had inside the mech.]

[When you and Firefly are in close contact inside the mech, other survivors will approach with expressions of admiration and respect, providing you with information from the scene.]

[Connecting numerous messages from survivors at the scene, as well as fragments from other battlefields, you and Liuying not only stared intently, but your brows were also furrowed together.]

The message left behind on numerous battlefields can be summed up in just four words: Zerg elite.

The rest are just fragmented images.

[The messages coming back from the battlefield showed that many of the enemies he faced before his death were the same elite troops he had seen before.]

[Possessing high-speed flight capabilities and ranged attacks with corrosive armor, or having a hull even tougher than a fleet and a massive size]

[Or perhaps they are special Zerg that can charge at supersonic speeds and suddenly self-destruct; each one is practically a missile.]

Each of these is a far greater threat than those low-level Zerg that only know how to engage in mindless melee combat.

[What you've been worried about all along is precisely these elite Zerg swarms that haven't yet appeared on the battlefield.]

[Previously, even a small swarm of low-level insects had already routed the Grammer Empire's fleet, and it was only with the addition of the Grammer Iron Cavalry that the battle could be brought under control.]

With the addition of those elite troops, the Grammer Cavalry was indeed unable to stop the enemy's advance, leading to a rapid deterioration of the battle and its current precarious state.

The remaining Grammer cavalry, facing the elite Zerg forces, once again cleaved the previously evenly matched battlefield.

The soldiers here survived only because there were only low-level Zerg here, while the other elite forces were attacking the combined defenses of the generals.

You frowned. Although you knew the Zerg elites posed a significant threat, you hadn't expected the damage to the Grammer Empire fleet to be so devastating.

What's even more worrying is that the Zerg elites seemed to have deliberately chosen this moment.

It's as if they deliberately waited until you and Liuying temporarily left the battlefield to carry out the Grammer Cavalry transformation project before gathering their elite forces to launch a fierce attack.

It's as if you and Liu Ying are the biggest threat in their eyes, and they waited for a perfect opportunity to avoid you and Liu Ying before they finally made their move.

[And the battle situation did indeed tilt in favor of the Zerg, just as the enemy had hoped.]
