Chapter 1: The Marshal is critically ill
The year 3456 of the galactic ephemeris is destined to go down in history.
The Zerg, which is a great threat to humans, returned again, vainly attempting to annex all human empires by invading the Sirry Empire.
Huo Chenyan, known as the "God of War of Xierrui", has always been invincible on the battlefield, and this time is no exception.
It's just that when the Zerg was repulsed, Huo Chenyan was carried down from the spaceship by the soldiers.
His Majesty the Emperor immediately ordered all the palace physicians to go to Huo Chenyan for treatment.
After the doctors diagnosed, they all gave Huo Chenyan a critical illness notice.
This diagnosis, under the request and petition of the people, was broadcast live throughout the whole process.
Because Huo Chenyan was critically ill, the whole Xierrui Empire seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds, and even the emperor immediately issued an edict - as long as Marshal Huo could be cured, he was willing to be rewarded with a lot of money.
It's just that such a person has not appeared for a long time.
Huo Chenyan is the god of war of Xierrui, and it is also a belief that cannot be easily shaken in the hearts of the people, if he has an accident, the people will only panic.
Just when the emperor and other ministers were at a loss, a white-haired old doctor in the imperial capital stood up and said that there was a home remedy that might make Huo Chenyan better.
The old doctor's home remedy was to let Marshal Huo contract a spirit beast.
The so-called contract is a method handed down from the ancient earth, after the contract is concluded, people and spirit animals will live and die together, and share a lifespan.
But as we all know, today's spirit beasts are not as good as before, and spirit animals that can have the same lifespan as humans basically do not exist.
The old doctor's method can indeed allow Huo Chenyan to survive the temporary crisis, but it will cost him his lifespan, and even make this invincible god of war have a fatal weakness.
When the old doctor said the method, everyone objected, and only the emperor did not say that he disagreed.
"The marshal's spiritual power level is SS level, how can there be a spirit beast that can withstand a contract with the marshal now?" The first to oppose was Huo Chenyan's subordinates.
He was still wearing a military uniform, and the badge on his chest was still shining in the sun.
"Live and die with spirit beasts?! Old guy, are you kidding? ”
The lieutenant general was impulsive, grabbed the old doctor's collar directly, and looked at him with a hideous face.
Huo Chenyan is still very young, if he lives and dies with the spirit beast, wouldn't it prove that he can't live too long?
"What's the use of spirit animals? It will only make the marshal weak, and let our marshal have an Achilles heel! The marshal himself certainly didn't want to! Another lieutenant general also yelled at the old doctor.
The old doctor was a former military physician, and he didn't see many people with bad tempers.
"Do you have any other options? If there is no other way, then Marshal Huo will die soon, and if he contracts with the spirit beast, he can live for at least a few more decades. The old doctor calmly reminded the people present.
Today, the life expectancy of humans has been extended to around 300 years, and the oldest person on record is 343 years.
Several officers looked at each other a few times, and they really had no other way.
Every time the Zerg attack, a new virus will appear, and the marshal is infected with the latest type of virus, which those doctors have never seen at all, let alone treat diseases and save people.
After a long silence, the emperor, who had not spoken on the side, gave an order, "Just do what the doctor says." ”
With that, the emperor turned and left.
"Your Majesty—" The lieutenant general wanted to say something, but the emperor had already made up his mind.
