036, Father and Son (Final)
But the excitement didn't make him lose his mind, and he guessed that the reason why the pirates had gone crazy might be that Azir's side was about to end.
As long as the Emperor arrives, the battle will be over quickly, and then disappear into the silent space, and the people of Shurima will not know that an invader has arrived in the sky here, and they will continue to boldly march forward in the sun.
The facts are also good as Yan Shou's guess, except for the first ship group that lost contact at the beginning, the remaining two ship groups have also lost contact, and even the ship group of their leader, which is equipped with quasi-star destroyer weapons, has no news.
And before the signal is completely lost, the last message they came from had one thing in common.
Monsters made of sand!
A strange sense of panic spread among the already disunited pirates, and they were infighting, with some wanting to get out of the damn place and others not believing in the evil and wanting to find out.
In this panic, they were angry because they were being played by inferior civilizations, and they felt furious because of the successive disappearances of their companions.
Yan Shou thought, a pirate is a pirate, there is no organization and discipline at all, it can't be compared to a well-trained army at all, as a soldier, he really wants to see what a cosmic war is like.
But then the change happened suddenly, and the pirate's main ship actually took the initiative to fire at a frigate next to him!
And that is where the smoke guard sails.
In the light of the fire that engulfed everything, the yellow ship was swallowed up.
On the main pirate ship, a guy who had long wanted to fight for the position of leader seized the opportunity, he let his men take the opportunity to kill everyone who tried to escape, and then threatened the others to obey his orders.
He snatched the driver's bridge, and the smoke guard had angered the new pirate leader, and he would do whatever it took to kill him, like crushing an ant.
Finally, when the course of the smoke guard was locked on the frigate next to him, this ruthless guy directly activated the attack program, since you like to fly so much, let's send you a brilliant fireworks.
Dealing with the flies that got in the way, this pirate leader still locked his target on Shurima, and he had lost so much if he didn't plunder it properly, how would he get back to his roots?
As for the weird golden spaceship before, he was not afraid at all, anyway, there were two frigates next to him!
"Position...... It's still there! ”
The sound suddenly appeared in the communication band like a candle in the wind, and even the frenzied pirates felt a tremor in their souls.
The yellow spaceship was in tatters, and the flames and billowing black smoke on its tail all indicated that the air inside the ship was leaking in a large area.
A crack opened in the cockpit, and a red liquid floated out of it, first drop by drop, and finally a mass the size of a human head.
And the people inside turned out to be alive!
"The position is still there!"
He spoke Kamigawa, and they understood it.
This crazy guy actually rushed to the ship group with the last fuel!
"Shurima...... No offense! ”
Yan Shou's consciousness was completely blurred, the high temperature just now had burned all of his sensory system, he was using the only remaining subconscious control hand to push the joystick, there was no strength, he used the viscosity of flesh and blood to stick his hand, and then used his body as a scaffold to make sure that the joystick was always in front.
He is also unstoppable.
There was only a bright red in front of his eyes, but when a golden light appeared in the bright red that could not be concealed, he finally grinned and completely relaxed.
The pirate leader was horrified to find that the hull of the main ship was covered with a layer of sand, and those sand gathered together as if they had life, and gradually coalesced into a human form!
He'd never seen anything so unbelievable!
Those who had gathered up from the sand began to attack the ship with such force that each attack left a deep depression in the wall of the ship, and it was not until the ship sounded the air leak alarm that he realized that the information of his companions was all true.
The sand, they came in......
……
Azir was holding the smoke guard who was no longer breathing, his body had been scorched, the lower half of his body was almost gone, and there was a shocking hole in his upper body, and even his face was completely unclear.
It wasn't until Azir took the last drop of blood from his body that the warrior's blood was completely drained.
The rest of his body had been blown into particles by the explosion just now, and he could no longer see it, and it seemed that this place had become his eternal rest, and he could never return home.
Not long ago, Azir piloted the spaceship to establish a radio connection with Yanmori, and it was difficult to establish a connection between the two cross-generational technologies, but Azir caught up.
He told the smoke guard to hold on for a little longer, the space jump had already started, and he would arrive soon.
But Yan Shou only said that he wanted Azir to recover his body, because the experiments he had done on himself in the early stage could not be in vain, and even if the body was out of life, there would be a certain amount of data that could be recovered and verified.
He believed that Azir and His Majesty would succeed, and he was very grateful to Azir for allowing him to see the bright stars again, and that fear was truly gone, and he was very happy.
Just sorry Siaret, if you can, hopefully the empire won't treat his wife badly, and his children.
If he could, he really hoped that his children could also join His Majesty's research program in the future, he knew that as a father, it was a bit domineering and selfish to decide the future of his children without authorization, but he really wanted his children to see with their own eyes the future that he did not see, the future that His Majesty depicted.
It must be wonderful, and it must be an honor.
After that, there was nothing in Azir's communication channel, and he rushed to the scene, just in time to see the all-engulfing flames, but he couldn't see the yellow ship.
……
……
Aatrox was a little sad to hear this, but he still didn't shed tears, he asked, "What about later?" Were Dad's body really taken by them...... In his grave...... Is there nothing left? ”
Siarette rubbed his head and smiled, "He just slept there." ”
Aatrox didn't understand.
Siaret said: "His Majesty the Emperor has returned to outer space many times since then, he has been looking for particles floating in the universe, he knows that your father is there, and in the end, His Majesty the Emperor has returned him to me in its entirety." ”
"That'...... Is His Majesty the Emperor a good person? Aatrox asked.
"If you have the opportunity to meet him in the future, then judge for yourself." Siaret said.
"Mom, I want to see Daddy."
Aatrox went to see his father again, but this time he ran faster than he had ever looked lost.
Sialet recalls that when he was born, her hand was not held by anyone, and the pain of childbirth made her feel like hell, and when the cry came, her world was light again.
At that time, Azir was holding this fresh life, but his eyes were full of sentimentality and guilt, Siaret did not blame him, she hoped that His Majesty the Emperor would give a name to the child of Yan Shou.
He said, "Just call him, Aatrox!" ”
There is no one in the world who deserves this name.
Sialet looked up at the sky, the red sun was about to set, and her thoughts seemed to drift to the past, and whenever she stood in front of the tombstone of the smoke guard, she would always say:
"My dear, we often look up at night and admire the starry sky, it's really beautiful!"
……
Fifteen years ago, everyone who knew about the invasion was sternly warned by Nasus that no one should be allowed to know what was going on, and that if a word came out, they would all be killed!
Everyone was silent, and everyone forgot about the smoke guard.
Only Azir and Empress Vicina attended his funeral, and the tomb next to the previous emperor was empty in the cemetery, except for a tombstone engraved with the name of the smoker.
His body was to be returned to Siaret, where the tombstone was exactly the same as here, with an epitaph written by the Queen Mother herself, which was her respect for the warrior.
The rise of civilization cannot be smooth sailing, this is something that must be experienced, and Shurima may be accompanied by the departure of countless people as she welcomes the new era, who may be pioneers and at the same time vanished.
"He was supposed to be a hero, but no one could know about him." Azir stared at the tombstone and whispered.
"Heroes always endure loneliness and injustice." Vishina said.
Azir shook his head slowly: "He may endure loneliness, but he must not endure injustice!" One day, Quanshu Ruima will know that he is a hero! ”
Azir's gaze shifted again, and his father lay next to him, and he suddenly felt that he was also a heroic son, as the emperor, this man really did his duty, and he also used his life to prevent the catastrophe that destroyed the world.
Fifteen years later, young Aatrox also stands next to a tombstone where his father is buried.
The fiery red light filled the entire world, but this ominous color could not invade here.
The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and there are many stories hidden in it.
Because there is no special person to maintain it here, the tombstones here have weathered quickly, and some of them are so worn out that they can no longer see the handwriting carved on them.
But this tombstone is very clear, without any damage, as if even time can not bear to scrape them.
Two hundred years, six people, three fathers and sons, three eras.
Epitaphs shared by the pioneers and the departed.
The little guy couldn't read it, he just thought he liked it, he wanted to remember, he thought, maybe he would understand it when he grew up.
——
The beacon that my heart has been looking for,
When it lights up, it doesn't look like the edge of lightning,
Lost travelers, do not be afraid of the other side of chaos,
Follow the guidance of the light,
Go and claim your peerless exaltation!
