Chapter 16: Cause and Effect

I used to think that to human beings, they were "foreign enemies" and should be sanctioned.

However, such an idea turned out to be ignorant and ignorant in the end, that is, in fact, human beings who seem to be in a position of "justice" should be the one who is really sanctioned......

If it weren't for the seemingly never-ending demand for finite resources, the earth wouldn't have to come to an end...... People who cling to the glimmer of life do not have to be obsessed with dying......

After a seemingly endless flight, the spaceship finally jolted and staggered to land on a thorn-like asteroid.

"Saved."

Natalie, who only realized this until now, breathed a sigh of relief.

Vane was semi-forced to pull himself together and methodically overhaul the ship......

After all, it has to rest now.

"Need my help?"

For Natalie's quiet thoughtfulness and kindness, she refused without thinking -

"No, you just sit and rest. And to be honest, there are a lot of troubles in this guy's maintenance, so I'll do it. ”

However, that is just an excuse for prevarication, and the reason why he refuses to give in is that he "does not allow" himself to be idle. ”

"Because only by doing so can she do her best not to experience the sadness that seems to be cut by a thousand cuts."

- Father and mother sacrificed their lives early on the front line, and even my brother is ......

Who can I rely on now? What else can you rely on?

"One day, everyone will leave you, and you have to learn to face everything alone."

These are the words left by my father before leaving, and yet - I am not as strong as my brother,

He always seems to be able to put all the feelings; All the pain; All grief is borne and carried by one person.

But if it goes on like this......

If that person can never get out of the cage of the "past......

Maybe she just wants to be an ordinary girl under the protection of her brother and parents, but it backfires so naturally.

"Brother, brother...... Ahh ”

It was the result of being crushed by fear.

Without knowing the truth, Vane still couldn't hold back the violent emotions that seemed like a volcanic eruption.

"Really, if you want to cry, just cry, why bother to endure it?"

And at this moment, Natalie, who was in the other room, was thinking about this to herself.

"Is that person really dead?"

Faced with Hatfield's question, I saw her calmly make her own speculation-

"I don't think there's anyone who can escape in such a desperate situation, but—"

She couldn't help but awaken Hatfield's longing again and again.

Yes, he undoubtedly hoped that the man would survive, and then that he would have a chance to thank him.

But at the same time, he also understands that this desire is nothing more than wishful thinking.

It's impossible to survive against that overwhelming enemy, right?

But although he understood this truth, he kept praying in his heart that that person would survive, even if it was only a glimmer of life......

"But since we haven't seen the body yet, it means that it's likely that his current situation is just a matter of life and death. Although I'd love to say that—"

On this topic, Natalie paused several times in subtle places, which made him also confused-

"If that's what you think, why didn't you tell her? After all, the guy ...... Is that pathetic look now? ”

After listening to his words without saying a word, Natalie's smile was also mixed with a sense of powerlessness -

"Do you think she'll still be able to listen to me now?"

That's right, I'm always in the position of a bystander, and I'm not qualified to say comforting things as if "it's none of my business......

Because, it's just a bystander......

In that case, powerlessness is a matter of course, isn't it?

In the end, the inconclusive conclusion made both of them silent.

"By the way, this is here?"

Immediately after that, in order to break this silence that embarrassed each other, Hatfield racked his brains to lead to the topic -

"Here? As you can see, it's the archives. ”

"I'm looking for something about the beast...... So here it is. Of course, it's ...... with permission."

As soon as the words fell, I saw the book in her hand unconsciously turn a page.

Then she saw a self-description that seemed to belong to "someone" that she had to care about-

Once, I thought I could repel them with weapons or self-defense, but the truth gave me a head start.

That is, there is no essential difference between the two sides in terms of the concept of "weapon" itself.

But that was the conclusion of some fool......

That is to say-

If we have explored effective means of self-defense and attack, then the other side will also derive more powerful means of attack with the nature of "destruction" itself according to the gourd drawing......

That's right, just like a malignant virus, as long as there is a certain "opportunity", it will continue to increase and multiply......

And it stands to reason that human beings can never allow "something" different from themselves to override themselves, how stupid is this?

Based on this awareness, the camps of various countries have begun to develop weapons and build defense systems as if they were in an arms race.

But I don't know if it's right or wrong......

In the final analysis, are we the perpetrators or the victims?

Hopefully, at this moment, you can come up with a convincing answer?

Are we the perpetrators? Or is it the victims?

In the end, after patiently reading these contents, her eyes were inexplicably attracted by a name-

"Lemuel Lavria. This person...... Would like to meet him if possible. ”

"I always feel that this person seems to ...... Déjà vu......"

Natalie couldn't help but think so.

At the same time, she realizes that perhaps, this is a wish that will never come true.

Because that person may have ...... And it's been more than ten years, even if I see it......

What can we do? Will he still recognize me?

- "Certainly, impossible, right? ”

But if that man remembers...... And how to do it?

Why...... What is this feeling? - I don't know, now ...... I don't understand yet.

"Sure enough, I still can't understand it, what this person left behind is not so much a document as a diary. But his words were so hard to understand. ”

A little later, Hatfield came to a similar conclusion.

"In that case, you still want to rush to see it? Why? ”

"Huh? Isn't that because you're the only one out there and it's cunning to empathize with you? ”

As soon as the words fell, the two of them noticed that the sky outside the window was completely shrouded in darkness as if it was bottomless.

And on the other side of this seemingly never-ending night, it is a matter of course, wave after wave of shouts of killing—

"The east gate and south gate of the fortress have been lost, and the north gate is about to be breached, what should I do? Captain Gareth?! ”

However, there was not even a space to speak, and all that appeared in front of Gareth's eyes was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood......

"Bring the team together in one place, lucky! Hurry up, if we continue like this, we will be wiped out! Even if the jade is burned, the north gate must be guarded! ”

As soon as the words fell, thousands of arrows were fired on the city wall!

After all, there will be a lot of inconvenient moving and moving materials here......

But in the face of the beast's hard shell, even if you use all your strength, it is simply an egg hitting a stone......

Not even the slightest centimeter can hurt it!

This kind of gap that makes people fall into autism in the blink of an eye really wants people to scold......

No, maybe after witnessing this kind of scene with his own eyes, the guy who can still scold without hesitation is admirable, right?

"Everyone focus their fire on the eyes and fire!!"

In the blink of an eye, there was another volley of artillery fire that looked like a downpour......

But even so, the defense line composed of rescue troops was still torn apart mercilessly!

They are fearless and break through from the front like a tidal wave!

...... The defense line has been torn apart, and they are simply showing off their might on the naked ground-

Pick up a bulky tank with huge, unbelievably dumb pliers......

Tear open the heavy, armor-like iron shell......

Then drag out the frightened driver, and then swallow it in front of everyone!

"Damn!? Why! Why? Ahh ”

Are these guys immortal?

No amount of bullets could stop their rampage!

Seeing this, Gareth and Yuki coincidentally slashed tirelessly at the front of the line, stepping on the corpses of their companions and rushing towards the onrushing enemy......

In short, use all the weapons you use until it seems to turn the entire space into a sea of fire!

"We can't afford to lose! You can't go back ......."

"Because, because once you show weakness, more innocent people will die! What's more, there are countless old people and children in the fortress! ”

"Those who can still fight, follow me!"

In fact, this is already the first time that this is the first charge......

I can't remember the first time I've done the same thing. It's just instinct that tells them: even if they are exhausted, they must not show weakness!

For the sake of the last dignity of human beings, too.

Isn't it the duty of a "warrior" to defend an existence worthy of protection?

That being the case, what is there to hesitate about; But what about the confused?

But then, time stood still in an instant that no one knew!

Then the earth began to tremble violently!

"Oops! Everyone, hurry up and take to the air!! ”

However, although Yuki sensed "something coming" in the blink of an eye, her order was still a step too late-

In an instant, there were countless tentacles that seemed to come out of the ground like blood!

In an instant, the tactical planes of his companions around him were punctured into thousands of holes, and then they disintegrated as if they were easily disintegrating in mid-air......

Not even ashes remained!

Even she herself was thrown into the city wall in an instant, unable to move!

"Luck!?"

Gareth wanted to help immediately, but he had to stay where he was in order to keep his course!

“...... Hey, isn't that good?! ”

Ah, that's right, and now we can't do anything but talk as fast as we can...... What an embarrassment!

Immediately after that, there were constant wails and screams......

Listening to those voices, he grabbed his hair with remorse, but he was helpless—

"We can't change anything after all."

This is both the cause and the conclusion......

And at this moment, fortunately, because of the exhaustion of energy, it can only become a unilateral beating; The object of abuse –

The shell of the tactical aircraft has long been uprooted unconsciously, and the entire cockpit is exposed without hesitation!

She herself was covered in blood and bruises......

The feeling of dizziness and vomiting was intertwined with the drowsiness of drifting consciousness, and she could barely breathe!

"The command is handed over to you for the time being, Huang!"

"I have to save her, and watch my friends who have been fighting together so far be killed or something......"

"I can't do that!"

As soon as the words fell, Huang immediately became panicked -

"Huh?! Before, seniors ......! ”

At this moment, she is completely stupid-

"It's okay, you can definitely do it! Besides, haven't you been learning with me all the time? ”

"I know it's a bit hard to say that kind of thing now, but I want to see your learning now!"

And in fact, every word is unquestionable trust, and in order not to betray this trust, Huang straightened his chest without thinking-

"I see, leave it to me!"

"You guy, don't get too carried away with me!"

Immediately afterward, Gareth used an unreasonable way to knock the chariot-class chariot class that was about to open its bloody mouth from the scarred body in a very unreasonable way, and knocked it to the ground in the blink of an eye!

Then, without hesitation, he pressed his head with his entire palm, and beat it with his bare hands!

Then, he began to pull at its invulnerable skin, refusing to stop until blood was splattered—

At this moment, Gareth seems to be like a beast that has evaporated his reason, completely losing his reason as a "human", and at the same time losing the ability to distinguish between friend and foe......

He's just pouring out anger, hatred, and pain and the like......

And the question of who is the object of bearing is irrelevant at this moment.

"Uhhh

As his emotions exploded, the tactical aircraft itself seemed to be undergoing "some kind of change".

However, thanks to this indescribable and incredible change, the tide of battle was reversed in one fell swoop!

"Wow, aa

And in the face of Gareth, who has lost his mind, whether it is his companions who participated in the rescue; Or maybe the other party as an enemy doesn't know what to do......

In the end, perhaps the energy was finally exhausted, and the body stopped like a candle in the wind!

That is, it was undoubtedly a "rampage" in the blink of an eye.

Machines, driven by pure emotion, respond instinctively by obeying the will of man......

"Wouldn't it? Do tactical planes still have this ability?! ”

Everyone, at this moment, was surprised......

Just when the rescue members looked at each other in disbelief......

I saw that Gareth's body suddenly became scorched and scorched like a burned out sun, and there were even signs of falling apart!

"It's not good, if the body disintegrates like that——!"

The first to notice this situation rushed into the enemy group single-handedly, regardless of the dissuasion of everyone!

"That guy really doesn't change his ways!"

At the same time, each member of the rescue team quickly dispersed in the four directions of east, west, south and north, forming an encirclement with no way out in the blink of an eye!

"Listen, don't let them move even a step until they rescue the man, don't skimp on ammunition, shoot!"

And thanks to such an order, Huang did not encounter many obstacles along the way. However, even so, the opponent was still too much for her with the sword in hand and her tactical machine.

It wasted her time-

"Get out of the way!"

Having said that, if you just look at the results, her goal has been achieved as a matter of course.

"Senior! Doesn't it matter?! ”

At this moment, Gareth has long since lost consciousness. How could you hear her......

By the way, the mech's body also fell apart as a matter of course because it reached its limit at the moment when the fence arrived......

"In short, the goal has been achieved, let's retreat! Fast! ”

Subsequently, they began to retreat in order to avoid the annihilation of the entire army.

- There are too many enemies. It's endless!

"Hey, you're still chasing after you?!"

Seeing this scene, Huang and the other 20 people volunteered to stay behind the palace, but in fact this is just a nice statement, in fact, it is equivalent to letting them die.

- In terms of results, it's no different......

It's just a nice way to put it.

Maz, on the other hand, was busy with Lemuel's business.

All were doing everything they could to save his life-

Ironically, however, perhaps he himself didn't want to "do everything in his power to survive."

And once such an idea is ingrained, then that is...... Is it futile to try from the outside?

"How? Is there a salvation? ”

Matz grabbed the paramedic who came out of the tent with incredible force, and asked impatiently.

"My heartbeat and pulse have stabilized. But he was still in a coma. ”

"What do you mean?"

- But even if the other party doesn't say it, he understands-

"Do you mean, is it His Highness himself who refuses to wake up?"

As soon as the words fell, both sides fell silent.

This is equivalent to default......

"Isn't there any way to wake him up?"

However, the other party's silence again is equivalent to telling Maz the answer-

"That person might be able to do it...... But it's impossible to call her back here now, right? ”

- They all know who "that person" refers to......

However, if that were to happen, there might be an increase in the number of patients.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, Maz shouted as if he had suddenly grasped a life-saving straw-

"It's okay, I'll find a way to convince her!"

After all, even if the relationship between the two is bad now, they won't die without help, right?

In the blink of an eye, he boarded the tactical plane that had been waiting for his master for a long time.

“...... Even if there is a glimmer of life, I am willing to go to the soup for this! ”

Then, having made up his mind, he ran to the sky...... It's like a roc spreading its wings!

Whether it was truth or a lie, he would not hesitate to do it if it was possible.

Not to mention that at this moment, it is a matter of life.

"Having said that, I don't know where Her Royal Highness the princess is, isn't this no different from looking for a needle in a haystack?"

However, Matz knows better than anyone that even if you look for a needle in a haystack, there is no turning back. Now, one can only hope that Her Royal Highness the princess will not play hide and seek with herself.

And on this point, Vane's position is the same, because she can't accept the fact that her brother may have "disappeared" from any corner of this world.

At this moment, I am very desperate for someone to tell me a completely different truth.

"You've been doing this since you started, what are you going to do?"

- I didn't eat a bite of the snack in front of me, even though my stomach was so hungry that my chest was pressed against my back......

"Leave me alone."

In fact, because Natalie is not very good at comforting people, she doesn't know how to express her thoughts in this situation......

In the end, without thinking, she said it very bluntly-

"You haven't seen the man's body, so how do you know he must be dead?"

"Huh? Other words? ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Vane's expression suddenly sparkle like a rainy day—

She just wants someone to deny such a negative self...... That's all.

This caused Natalie to pause delicately for a moment......

"I mean to die to see the corpse, but now that you haven't even seen the corpse, isn't it too early for you to grieve?"

In fact, this is just a statement of facts, but in Vaen's opinion it is undoubtedly the greatest and best consolation......

"Well, put these on the ...... No, it's a hurry to eat! ”

- Fasting is the main culprit for her current negative thinking...... No doubt.

Although she is simply stating the facts, if she can realize what she is not aware of, then it will be an unexpected gain for herself.

After all, although she is used to "such things", if possible, she still doesn't want anyone to be sad because of this seemingly natural but actually unreasonable thing.

"No, wait...... If that's the case, then am I treating this guy as a friend? ”

At the same time, a natural question once again plunged Natalie into a paradoxical puzzle in the blink of an eye -

"What kind of relationship are we now?"
