Napoleon once said that the course of the battle is the history of a brigade, not the history of the Grand Armies - when the number of troops exceeds one number...... They were just numbers on the map in front of the commander.

At night, the numbers start to spin in front of your eyes.

Levi felt that he had not gained the slightest superpower, and that the impact of the crossing was minimal, as mentioned in the important incident above complaining about not having thirty centimeters. Even the blazing and dazzling divine light of the artificial sun - Li could not see it, at most he could see the toilet paper in his hand burning hot.

Lately, though, he's been discovering more and more that he's starting to have some superpowers.

Whenever I fall asleep, a string of numbers flashes in front of my eyes.

Spinning, jumping, I close my eyes~~ This string of numbers Levi doesn't know what it means, but it keeps increasing. Starting with the initial unit [1], it is followed by a rapid increase. At first, he thought it was time he had traveled through? But that doesn't seem to be the case. Because those numbers are increasing dramatically, to 10,000, then 60,000, then 200,000, then 300,000. Sometimes it increases so rapidly that when you close your eyes, a series of numbers will fly by; Sometimes it's very slow, and it only jumps sporadically.

After the Second Battle of Mullen, Levi finally knew what the numbers meant.

- The number of people who died under his rule.

"We are all gold coins in the hands of the emperor." The emperor often compares himself to a gold coin - not precious, this is just a number, a cold number instead of a living life. To put it simply: a tradable item.

As we all know, Levi is relatively heartless, and war will bring casualties, and the casualties of the war after 40,000 years will of course be extremely terrifying. Tomorrow, two million Imperial soldiers will leap on the battlefield and fight against evil to the death—and at the right time, there will be countless unjust souls. When Li learned of the casualties, he would also sigh softly, choke his wrists and regret it, and if it was all he could, it would have ended here.

But there is a number that is getting bigger and bigger and more and more digits...... Those are two different things. When you sleep, it's affected.

"Yo...... Mary, haven't you slept yet? ”

Spinning, jumping. I closed my eyes—Levi didn't know if it was insomnia; But he still didn't fall asleep at two o'clock in the morning, and the number in front of him stayed at 355,324...... Oh, and it's multiplied again.

In the morning, Christine was forced to rest. Of course, it's more because Levi doesn't see that the other party is very mentally normal, at least normal people don't want to be 'hanged' by their superiors and beaten. (More often than not, you want to 'hang' your superiors and beat them!) It's easy to make mistakes when you drink too much, and many "little articles" mention that S and M are just a thin line away - look at the murderous Overseer Christine, Levi thinks it makes sense.

But at this point, Levi was going to talk to his living saint, Mary—for the evening. The saint still hadn't slept. Well, beautiful girls really don't need metabolism! Even if you need to, it's all rainbow petal color.

"Master, you're here."

The Living Saint is [tidying up] his "Power Armor" - that is the ancient artifact on his body. Looks...... Because of her personal hobbies, she felt a sense of joy from the bottom of her heart when she was tidying up the armor. If I'm not mistaken, I can still hear the sound of humming in the distance.

"Master, I don't know what to do?"

"I can't sleep, so I'll come to you and see if I want to sleep." Levi's eyes were a little round, and the nerves of the insomniac began to weaken slightly. Taking a deep breath, Levi walked over to Maria's side.

Mary's room does fit the premise of a "living saint". The meticulous neatness is also imbued with an imperial religious atmosphere. As soon as Levi entered the door, he saw his life-size figure with a tall face in the center of the house, and he heard that any armed maid would have a prayer to do anything. When you are afraid, when you are in pain, when you are attacking, when you are healing; Eating, drinking, thinking, etc. - I wonder if the 1.2 billion armed maids will watch themselves pray when they go to the toilet?

"Master, if you don't want such a thing as sleep, it's easy, just pry your brain open and inject a liquid invented by the Mechanical, but I don't recommend it - sleep is a blissful thing."

Surprisingly, Maria didn't stretch her pretty face, and the lotus on the ice bloomed delicately at this moment. Smiling slightly, the other party said, "Sleep makes people forget a lot of things. ”

"And what if you can't forget?" Levi felt that this was not the tone of his own speech, and after a moment of silence, he continued to ask, "I have insomnia." Come and seek a little psychological solace. ”

"What can't be forgotten is what you can't forget, and sleep is also a great weapon to test people's firm beliefs! - I don't need sleep anymore, but I still put myself into that 'state', sometimes forcing myself into that state to see if I believe in you. Maria proudly raised her soft and convex chin: "It turns out." I'm a winner every time! Master, I am extremely devout to you. ”

“…… Ha, that's not something that people who often keep me out of the stage can say. Levi also admired the other party, and after smiling bitterly, he sat down next to Mary. The two sat side by side on Mary's bed, lonely in the dead of night, but they didn't seem to have any other thoughts—two ruthless men...... Or that Levi, who is on his way to the [ruthless] class, is asking his predecessors for advice on how to evolve. The two got together.

"Worship of the master, of course, also includes correcting the master's mistakes-" Saying what no living saint would say, Maria stared into Levi's eyes with a righteous expression: "If necessary, I will advise you with death!" -- And then whether or not I will be resurrected again is up to you! ”

"That's not it, the 'numbers' in front of me are only increasing." Levi smiled bitterly and said something that Maria didn't seem to understand: "I hope you live a long life, there are not many people who can talk to me - by the way, I ask you one thing: Do people at the top of the empire flash those 'numbers' in front of their eyes?" ”

“？ What number? ”

“…… Is that the death toll? ”

“？ Something so handy?! "Mary is a little ...... A look of surprise.

“…… I'm sorry, I'm dying of annoyance with everything that flashes in front of me. "Levi felt that he couldn't even rely on Mary on the other side, what is [convenience]?

"The series of numbers in front of me kept jumping up, and after reading the report, I was very accurate in my own calculations! Every time an Imperial soldier dies, the number in front of me increases by one - I thought you could see ...... too."

"Sure enough, it's the master, the Great God Emperor." Maria sighed with sincere admiration and nodded frequently to Levi: "This kind of courage and responsibility is very human--by the way: How many people are there in your string of numbers?" ”

“…… Didn't you just say that? 355，395…… Hmm, 396? ”

"It's too little, I guess the number of people who died in the recent fighting. When our great holy war broke out...... For example, in the battle of the Eye of Fear, it is normal for an interstellar battle Emperor ** to suffer tens of millions of casualties, and the last time the Eye of Fear Emperor** killed 730 million people on the battlefield, the empire was killed. We also suffered heavy casualties in resisting the Zerg invasion, and we lost several worlds, and the people of those worlds were also ......."

"Alright, alright...... Thank you for making my nerves more fragile. Levi pinched the bridge of his nose and rubbed his face, thinking that he would be even worse in the future—and he would feel much better now.

"Don't dare to be, the God Emperor is the greatest." Maria seems to have taken Levy's words as a compliment: "Each of us humans has our own responsibilities, after all...... Five trillion human beings, it seems like a lot, but how big is the galaxy? No matter how large our population is, we are vulnerable in the face of extinction. ”

Li Wei quietly listened to how a well-known human commander in the galaxy 40,000 years later lamented the survival of mankind and worried about the future fate of mankind, and couldn't help but be silent.

Yes, there are five trillion human beings.

There are about as many demons in the subspace as there are? Or can humans be born, and demons in the subspace can be produced in countless quantities? Orcs are rampant in the universe, a little mud and sunlight can fill a planet in an instant, and then use the technology they have written in their genes to jump from the Stone Age to the cosmic age, and it only takes less than a year to cross the stars. The three invasions of the Zerg's reconnaissance forces almost didn't destroy the humans alive! There are also countless dark ...... hidden in the universe

Humanity, 40,000 years later, lives hang by a thread.

"The God Emperor will unify us, the God Emperor will lead us, even if we are down, we are still willing to continue to pay for us - this is the God Emperor! Willing to sacrifice for the sake of the race, this is our belief - without sacrifice, there is no victory! So...... Including me, they are just chips in the hands of the God Emperor. It's a great feeling, and it shows that we have the value of being used by the Emperor for humanity-" Maria's words came to an abrupt end, and she looked at Levi with reluctance: "However...... God Emperor, what is your personal inner thoughts? 40,000 years, what is your heart? ”

“…… I don't know for 40,000 years, I just know that I'm a little scared now. Levi suddenly collapsed on Mary's bed, and it didn't matter to Fengyue.

"Maria."

"Master?"

"Thank you, I'm sleepy—please lie down next to me and sleep with me."

It was past three o'clock in the morning, the morning sun rose in the east, and the day began. The decisive battle plan of the Northern Route Army [For the Emperor] will be launched soon, and two million people are ready, and they are willing to die for 500 trillion people just by waiting for an order. Seven hours later, Levi appeared at the command center of the 15 district, just ten kilometers from the front line, and personally gave the order for the start of the operation. (To be continued.) )
