mech warriors have no love

Chapter 38

Lieutenant César, who didn't want to be a bird, was taken back to the room to sleep with a cold face. He obviously had to go to a meeting later, but Lancelot took out the storybook and flipped through it: "What do you want to do today?" What story do you want to hear?"

César: "I'm an adult."

"This one seems pretty good? It's about a short story that happened on Planet Teller when the Alliance's first marshal confronted the Empire..."

César: "..."

He shrank into the quilt, only revealing a pair of watery eyes, staring at Lancelot who was serious about telling the story without blinking, somehow thought of Ellie who was persistently wanting to tell him a bedtime story, and closed his eyes helplessly. He closed his eyes and sighed inwardly.

Forget it... let him go.

The Marshal of the Alliance usually looks like a gentleman, but in fact he is extremely double-standard. When he beats his relatives and hugs him, César is no longer a child, but a baby when it is time to sleep.

Seeing César's head falling into sleep bit by bit, Lancelot was full of a sense of accomplishment, and carefully pulled down the quilt, exposing César's face.

The child was bored in the quilt for a long time, and his usually pale face turned rosy, looking extremely cute.

Lancelot looked left and right, felt that he had raised the child well, and turned away satisfied.

Lucy turned into a bird and stood on his shoulder, observing the scene, and said sincerely: "Lord Lancelot, you really look like an old father."

Lancelot didn't know what the face was for a long time: "Huh? Father-son love? If little César is willing to call me dad, I'm very happy, but the bigger possibility is to kill me."

Lucy was already numb. Seeing that the topic was off topic, he immediately shifted his attention: "The parliament has sent a third communication request, do you accept it?"

It has been almost a month since the Dal star base was breached.

From the panic at the beginning, the congressmen are now sitting firmly in the parliament building, and began to repeat the countless times in the past.

Although it sounds nice that the council does not get involved in military affairs until an emergency, in fact, no matter whether it is a small battle or who is fighting, the council can't help but intervene, narrate its own strange views, and harass the commander.

Ever since he was deceived by the parliament to lie about the battle report and returned to Delan Star for house arrest, Lancelot knew how restless the people in the parliament were. Advance", "When will Dar Star be taken back" and other voices remained motionless.

The huge alliance was taken down by the orcs in a border military base. It sounds like a joke. After the marshal of the alliance arrived, the orcs retreated steadily, but they did not attack in one fell swoop. It is very confusing to wash away the humiliation suffered by the alliance. up.

A group of people chattered for a long time, and the chairman of the assembly looked at Lancelot who had been silent since he connected the communication, and coughed lightly: "Members, please be quiet, let's listen to what the Marshal has to say first. .”

The surroundings fell silent, and the members of parliament who had been discussing in full swing just now looked at Lancelot, and Lancelot said slowly: "After arriving at the Orc, I have led humans and orcs to fight seventeen times. After a brief contact, the orcs all chose to evacuate."

This sounded a bit like bragging about how powerful he was. The councilors looked at Lancelot in wonder, wondering how Lancelot had turned from a dark coquettish to a bright one.

Lancelot still didn't change his face under the suspicious eyes: "During the dozen or so contacts, the orcs have never used space technology to deal with the enemy."

Speaking of this, the spirits in the council certainly understood.

The chairman of the council and several councilors looked at each other, nodded, and spoke on behalf of all the councilors: "The Academy of Sciences, the instrument for detecting space fluctuations, has been upgraded and will be shipped to the front line tomorrow. There has been a great breakthrough in space technology. Please rest assured, the Marshal. behind you."

Lancelot thought it was heavy enough, politely ended the communication, changed into his military uniform, and when he stepped out of the starship, the guards were already waiting for him outside.

Molly is good at reconnaissance. She has been sneaking to the vicinity of Dar Star these days, and followed Lancelot step by step, and reported in a low voice: "Marshal, after I approach Dar Star, the orcs' defense is too tight, and time is short." Hurrying, I failed to continue to break through, wandering around for two days, I saw two unexpected people."

She paused, lowering her voice: "The new leader of the orc clan, and Eugene."

Eugene suffered a loss at the hands of Lancelot. He narrowly escaped and returned to the beast clan. He didn't cultivate well, and started jumping around again.

Lancelot said casually: "Okay, old acquaintance. Are the orcs trying to break through the alliance? Even the leader is here, so you are not afraid of being killed by me. The boss will be in chaos for a few years? I heard that the orcs choose the boss? Democracy like an alliance, autocracy like an empire, well, democracy is better."

Lei Ge stared at him silently: "..."

Marshal, is this the point?

"Elton said that the space technology research of the Academy of Sciences has some clues." Lancelot didn't seem to see the eyes of his subordinates, "The orcs would not be kind enough to hand over the space technology to others. If it were me, a hundred Yuu would die Jindu will not hand over the space technology, but also love his uncle and nephew... huh?"

As if he suddenly thought of something, he rubbed his chin, "The new leader has an affair with Eugene, right? Tsk, Eugene looks so shabby."

Molly turned away in pain: "..."

You can shut up!

"No matter what, the matter of space technology is definitely not that simple. Even if the Academy of Sciences makes a breakthrough, we can't use it." Lancelot kept walking, went straight to the temporary base, and looked up at the night sky.

The universe is like a black curtain, covered with layers of star sand, dots of star brilliance, without end.

The vast alliance is just a tiny speck of dust in the vast universe.

"Marshal... what are you looking at?" Harry looked at Lancelot's back in reverence.

The sense of security this man gives people is not the slogan of "the alliance is always behind you" that is proclaimed by the parliament at any time, which is flooded and unrealistic, but a real, steady and steady peace of mind.

Lancelot withdrew his gaze, and said oh, "It's nothing, I was just thinking, it's obviously a rest time, why do we have to come out for inspection."

Harry lowered his head indifferently: "..."

Lancelot sighed: "What if little César had a nightmare at this time, woke up and saw that I was not there, and cried?"

The three elite guards stood behind him expressionlessly, falling silent together.

As expected, it would be better for the Alliance Marshal not to speak.

Lancelot, who was dedicated to raising children, suppressed his restlessness, and returned to the base with the guards on patrol. Thinking of César, who was sleeping soundly on the starship, he gritted his teeth and said angrily, "He's the only one who will be lazy." ..."

The other three heard it clearly on the communication channel, and Harry suppressed a smile and said, "Then we will also arrange Cesare's work tomorrow, and accompany us to patrol and run errands?"

Lancelot changed his face in a second: "Harry, are you quite free, and you can still find work for others?"

Harry immediately silenced himself, pretending he didn't exist.

Although César showed excellent individual combat ability, on the battlefield, no matter how strong individual combat ability is, it can't compare with a gravity cannon.

Letting César stay in the safe base is the best choice, and no one has any objections.

Several people teased each other on the public channel, and when they were about to arrive at the base, Lu Xi suddenly said: "Lord Lancelot, Colonel David sent a communication request."

Ever since Molly came to the front line, David has been extremely attentive, contacting Molly twice in three days, completely forgetting his immediate boss.

Lancelot felt strange, so he connected to the communication casually, and joked, "What? I had a fight with Molly, and you want me to say something nice for you?"

David's face was serious, he ignored his teasing, and said solemnly: "Marshal, the matter you asked me to investigate has some clues."

Lancelot straightened his face, turned off the public channel, clasped his hands, stared at David, and nodded.

He can let Lucy directly decipher the code to check some information, such as the defected researchers and female orcs that have been dusty for many years, the council will just turn a blind eye.

But it is not possible to target specific family forces, and many things are difficult to explain clearly, so they can only be handed over to David.

David said in a low voice: "After checking all the people who have appeared in Leslie's house in the past ten years, I found that there was something wrong with him. It was a servant named Levin, who was very close to César, but César was 15 years old. , it never appeared again, and it was announced that he died of illness, a small person, no one would care about it, and there is no other information except the year of birth and death, which is very strange."

As he said that, he sent a photo to Lancelot: "It took me a lot of effort to find it. Here, a photo of Levin and César."

Lancelot received the photo, opened it and looked at it.

The location in the photo is the back garden of César’s family. César, who is in his teens, is still a child who loves to laugh. His green eyes are shining, as if there are stars in them.He was hugging a big white cat, tilting his head and looking at the camera, with an innocent and cute expression. Standing next to him was a gentle and kind young man, who was circled by David and marked with a brief introduction.

He quietly looked at César in the photo, feeling that he couldn't get enough of it, so he looked away for a moment: "Continue."

David picked up the information from the table: "I can't find out what happened to César when he was 15 years old, but after César disappeared for a year, he returned to Leslie's house in a low-key way, and after a round of investigations, he was found by a retired The servant learned that César was in a very strange state at the time, and became like a child—as if some aspects had degenerated."

Lancelot's pupils shrank, and his face was covered with frost unconsciously: "And then."

"Mrs. Ellie and Mr. Lambert taught him for a long time before Cesar re-adapted to normal society. Later, Mr. Lambert sent him to a nearby planet to finish high school, changed his name, and was admitted to Odo Military Academy .”

Speaking of this, David pretended to be relaxed and laughed: "Maybe César passed you by at the Odo Military Academy, and the two of you missed it a bit."

Lancelot couldn't laugh.

César is unsophisticated, ignorant in many ways like a child, and has a slight emotional cognitive barrier and communication barriers.

He couldn't imagine what kind of blow he had suffered to become like this.

But he somehow felt that in order to appear normally in front of others, César must have worked very hard.

David failed to calm down the atmosphere, and rubbed his nose in embarrassment: "There is something about Senator Lambert... It is said that the empire once had seven advanced intelligent mechs, six of which were dismantled and rebuilt, and the last one was directly used. Compared with other high-level intelligent mechs, many aspects are more mature, such as intelligence, but ordinary people cannot use it."

Lucy flew over Lancelot's head and nodded reservedly.

"Member Lambert used that mecha back then, but after César's mother died of illness, Senator Lambert's condition declined. During the battle with the Star Thief, the mecha was destroyed. The council didn't believe it, so he sent Lanbert Representative Burt was imprisoned and tortured repeatedly. These matters were covered up too tightly by the council, and I only found out a little bit of corners. But since they are covered up, it probably isn't a good thing."

After listening in silence, Lancelot suddenly said, "Cesar said that someone once called him a little angel."

But César had a weird look when he spoke.

David froze for a moment: "Huh?"

Lancelot rubbed his forehead and shook his head: "It's nothing, thanks for your hard work, I'll ask Molly to write you a condolence letter later."

"Go away." David pouted at him, "What I want is your sympathy."

After hanging up the communication, Lancelot looked at the photo expressionlessly, asked Lucy to print it out, took out a knife, and cut off the man named Levin neatly.

Lucy: "...Humans compare the jealousy between lovers to jealousy. You are a bit fierce with old jealousy."

Lancelot raised his eyebrows, didn't choke back, put the photo away cherishingly, and walked briskly back to the starship, pushed open the door of Cesar's hatch, and walked to the bed.

César's sleep has always been light, and he woke up when the cabin door was pushed open. He opened his eyes, but before he could see who was standing beside the bed, his eyes were suddenly covered by a big warm hand.

"Ceizer."

Lancelot called his name in a low voice. He had a lot to say, and he wanted to ask César if that man named Levin betrayed him, was it painful back then, and was it difficult to learn how to reintegrate into this world? Not very tired... The words came to my lips, but I couldn't say a word.

After a moment of silence, the eloquent Alliance Marshal could only say dryly: "I... come and see if you are sleeping well."

Being woken up in the middle of the night, no one would have a good temper. César slowly pushed Lancelot's hand away, murderous intent in his bright eyes.

Lancelot laughed dryly.

Lucy was floating around outside, saw Lancelot being kicked out, and when the time was up, he calmly said: "I was kicked out in 3 minutes, Lord César is becoming more and more tolerant to you, I am really gratified. "

Lancelot: "..."

As expected, this broken mecha was specially sent by the council to confuse him.
