583 Seeing the Light of Day IV (I made a mistake before, it should be III...) )
"My lord, there's movement outside the door again. They seem to be trying to crack the gate code, trying to open the gate. A soldier in a tattered uniform walked into a dimly lit room and saluted respectfully to a dark figure behind the table who had hidden himself in the shadows.
"Aren't those rebels still dead?" The shadow stopped what he was doing and asked in a hoarse voice.
“。。。 I'm afraid so, my lord. During this time, our brothers who were on guard near the gate could clearly hear the voices coming from outside the door. However, it seems that they are unable to crack the code of the gate, and they want to use violent means to destroy the gate. The soldier continued.
"Breaking the door violently? Hehe, after this door, is where the entire Source Domain communication host is located. A place that is enough to withstand the carpet bombardment of dreadnoughts! Unless you have the identity verification of Your Majesty or the Governor of the Star Field, no one will want to open this door! Hehehe... Not to mention, we've adjusted the external command permissions to the highest permissions... The rebellious group ... Hum! Leave them alone for now, are you ready for the last resort? Paul? The shadow continued to ask in a hoarse voice.
"It's ready, sir. Explosives have been planted in all key locations, powerful enough to blow up the entire computer room of the Starfield server host and the Source Governor's Mansion above. All detonation keys are set to be detonated by your terminal, just in case! The soldier said to the shadow with a solemn expression.
"That's good... That's good... The Domain of the Fountain must not fall into the hands of those rebels. We may not see the source of the Empire's recovery, but at least we can guarantee that we will hold our ground until the very last moment! Ahem, ahem! The shadow shouted hoarsely, followed by a violent cough.
He took out his handkerchief and covered his mouth, and when he took it away, the faint smell of blood and the bright red and harsh color on the handkerchief let him know that his time was running out.
"Your body, my lord..." The soldier looked at him worriedly, and then stopped.
"It's okay... Anyway, we are all dying people, is there a difference between living two days less and living two days more? Or do you fantasize about surrendering those rebels after seeing what happened to those who surrendered? The shadow asked, sneering.
"Of course not! My lord! We are all ready to protect the host room of the satellite domain server! The soldier hurriedly shouted.
"Nonsense! Die? It's good you're dead! It's a hundred! Ahem, ahem! But what about those who are still alive?! What about the wounded who are seriously injured?! Ahem, ahem! The shadow coughed and cursed.
"But my lord!" What else did the soldier want to say.
"Nothing! That's an order! Ahem, ahem! You have to know that the only people who are left now are all the seeds of the Source Fleet. Even if there are less than a hundred of them! Just give them a chance, and they can re-establish the Source Fleet again! Ahem, ahem, ahem! Ahh The shadow coughed violently.
The loud coughing sound even alarmed the soldiers on duty outside, who all entered the room and looked at the dark shadow worriedly.
"My lord, take some medicine! If you continue like this, your body will definitely not be able to hold on! A soldier said distressedly.
"Yes, sir. I'll help you get your medicine! The other soldier was more decisive, and he was about to go outside.
"Come back! I used all the potions, what did those wounded people use?! It's just an upset throat for me, and there's no need to consume precious medicine. Ahem, ahem, ahem! The black shadow hurriedly called out to him.
"But my lord, your body can't be dragged any longer! It's not a simple cough, you're coughing up blood every day! The soldier who wanted to get the medicine said with a crying voice.
"What? Don't even listen to my orders? You're still not my guard?! The dark shadow reprimanded.
"But my lord!" The soldier got down on one knee and tried to continue convincing the shadow.
"Nothing! That's an order! Do the order, soldier! The black shadow said categorically.
"What's wrong? What happened? Why are you all gathered here at the General? A plainly dressed woman in white walked in touching the wall.
"My lord, why are you here? This is not the place where you should be, I asked them to send you back. As soon as the black shadow saw the woman in white, he immediately said with a slight reproach.
"General, I heard your voice very loud here, so I touched the wall all the way over. Is something happening? Why are there so many people here? The woman in white asked suspiciously.
"My lord, our general, he...
"Shut your mouth! Nothing happens here! Am I right?! A soldier was interrupted by a dark shadow before he could finish his sentence, and he asked, after looking around.
Under the pressure of the dark shadows, the soldiers lowered their heads one after another.
"Your eye, my lord, is injured, and now you need to rest in bed, not walk around. What if I fall and bump into it, which aggravates the injury? The black shadow walked up to the woman in white, trying to make her voice less hoarse.
"General, your voice seems to be... The woman in white wanted to speak and stopped.
"Haha, it's not a big deal. Maybe I accidentally inhaled too much dust two days ago! Let them send you back, my lord! I still need to find a way to contact the Empire here, so I won't leave you, my lord! The black shadow said to the woman in white.
Hearing the black shadow's firm tone, the woman in white had no choice but to say to him, "Na... General, you must take care of your health! You've already done so much for the sake of the Empire. I'm going to feel the wall and go back, so that the soldiers don't have to tire me off again. ”
"With all due respect, my lord, you're just messing around!" The black shadow resolutely dissuaded.
Then he said to one of the female soldiers in the group in front of him, "Margaret, you and Paul will return to her room. After serving the adults, you are responsible for protecting them. Do you understand? ”
The female soldier immediately stood up and saluted, and replied respectfully, "Yes, General, I understand." ”
She walked up to the woman in white, and although she knew that she couldn't see whether she was saluting or not, she still saluted and said to her respectfully, "My lord, I am Margaret who the general just named. It is now up to me to escort you back to your room and protect you as your personal bodyguard. ”
"Then I'm sorry for you, Miss Margaret." The woman in white smiled softly and said.
"Needless to say, my lord. This is our duty, our duty, and it is incumbent upon us to do so. Please hold my hand, my lord, and I will lead the way. Margaret wiped her hand vigorously on her clothes and said.
Guess what, I'll see who can guess right.
