Following the trail of the Swarm, and AR-1368's target, he left the base.
"Firefly, do you really want to recruit such soldiers? A soldier who doesn't even rely on the Glamoth Iron Knights."
AR-1368 looked at Firefly, his expression a little complicated.
"Ah? I, I am... yes..."
Hearing AR-1368's words, Firefly was a little embarrassed. "But, I can feel that because of you, I have changed a lot."
"I see, I have also seen your great changes."
Ye Ming raised his head and looked at the smile under Firefly's mask. "The specific situation, I will tell you after I go back. Let's compare our spears first. After we finish comparing our spears, I will think about it again. After I think about it, what should I do in the future? From the beginning, she was just planting a seed in Ye Ming's heart. Let me fight for the sake of the weapon, and it became more and more like a human."
"I understand. Ye Ming, now the one in your heart who lives on is me, and the one who taught you that life is precious is also me, right?"
"No, I have to think about it."
AR-1368 was about to refuse.
Firefly wanted to say, but was not sure of the answer. A vague memory, unable to spell out a definite person. But, she understood Ye Ming.
She didn't grow up with him, what she was wrong about was that from knowing him to being familiar with him, even the name Firefly, Ye Ming had never tried it, but he had found it himself.
"Although it is said that I should plant a seed in your heart, the seed in your heart is your own." AR-1368 said righteously.
"Don't say that the two of you are right. But, this is Ye Ming's fault. These two ways of saying it are not contradictory?"
Firefly didn't think AR-1368 would recognize it.
"I think your thoughts still need to be tempered."
Ye Ming planted a seed for Firefly, and because of this seed, even if he forgot Ye Ming, or was affected by something, he would not forget it. She would only stay in that place, waiting for the broken soil to emerge one day.
AR-1368 didn't speak. He knew that after this, what awaited them was the worst plan.
But one day, she told Ye Ming her name, and Firefly wouldn't be harmed in any way. She was already used to Firefly not being affected, and her life had already started a new life.
This was Ye Ming's warmth.
AR-1368 wanted to break Ye Ming's obsession. But... the determination, no matter how firm, this warm memory, will always be unforgettable.
The choice, compared to the plan, was faster, and more urgent. When he sensed the approaching dangerous Swarm, a silent signal gathered, and the ground trembled. The active main attack was launched.
[The remaining Swarm after the loss of the Empress rose from the ground, their numbers staggering, their clamor incessant.]
[The Swarm has been detected! The Swarm has been detected! This is... the Swarm Tide!!!]
The alarm in the communication channel was deafening. Looking at the Swarm that covered the sky, they instantly drowned the remaining light, disappearing from sight.
On the base, Ye Ming looked back, and saw the Swarm that were like a sea of tide. He was extremely anxious.
He decided to fight to the death. On this day, he closed his eyes, and the last remaining mothership, or the last backup of the battle, let Firefly feel the main force of the Swarm.
"The drone soldiers? Why are you still here? The last team of our knights has already returned from the star system!"
The base also did not expect this to happen.
The Final Battle
The meaning of this was self-evident.
Ye Ming opened his eyes, and a hint of determination flashed in them. He said in a low voice, "The Swarm is cunning. This time, the Swarm has already pressed all their forces, and plans to fight us to the death."
"To be the defensive line, and to fight against the Swarm. With our current defensive advantage, we can rely on the firepower of the base to annihilate the Swarm on a large scale." AR-1368 suggested.
"No, now the places we have seen are only a few. But they are all ordinary Swarm, and there is no sign of the mothership. If we don't catch the mothership, the Swarm will never be exhausted. After exhausting the base's defense and waiting for it to run out, there is only one way to die."
After thinking for a moment, Ye Ming made a decision.
"Now, I think there is only one way to go. We will sneak into the Swarm, find the mothership in the depths of the Swarm, and kill it. This battle, we can only win."
"Come on."
"The way is very risky. How many Swarm motherships are there?" Firefly asked worriedly.
"This is the only way."
Ye Ming looked at Firefly and AR-1368, and said with a decisive tone, "Firefly, AR-1368, you guys are on the base."
"No, I'm going with you!"
Firefly's words were just about to come out when Ye Ming interrupted her.
"This is not a rash decision. With my fighting style, choosing to be a vanguard is my specialty! I will fight alongside you, I will protect you from behind. No matter what the ending is, I will die with you!"
Firefly looked at Ye Ming's shining eyes, her tone filled with a determination that could not be shaken.
"So that's how it is. This time's mission, if you fail, you will die here like everyone else, and you will not have to be tortured by the disease."
AR-1368 nodded, and looked at Ye Ming with a look of admiration. A faint smile appeared on his cold face. "Go, as a member of the Empress's Royal Guard, after destroying the Swarm, you cannot do anything that is not in line with your identity."
As the order was given to AR-1368, the drone buzzed, and after a slight nod, the data network was activated.
["Elite knight squad will be upgraded with me. Breakthrough, find the mothership, and carry out a new order!"]
"Go!"
"For the glory of the Empress, we shall march to battle!!!"
With a roar, a green stream of light rose into the sky, and in his body, it sank into the Swarm tide.
The final battle had finally arrived.
As he faced the Swarm that covered the sky, his aura was firm, his actions, still carrying the fearlessness of the past, as if this sudden attack, and any mission he had faced before, were the same, destined to end in victory.
"Will we win?"
Looking at his back, Firefly didn't know the answer. She didn't know the location of the many motherships, nor did she know how dangerous this trip would be.
She didn't know if this was the final ending. But her heart was calm.
She was tired of the long wait, and also tired of the repeated torment. It was time to end it.
The two of them held hands and made a promise to go to a stranger's life.
"Ye Ming, I'm going with you. I will protect your back. I will do my best to complete the mission, and I will be with you until the very end."
Even if the last card was exhausted, and he didn't have any regrets.
["I would rather die, than ever forget you!"]
