The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

"...Grammer's Embers..."

"Command, the Firefly Division has discovered the queen."

“Requesting support! Repeat, requesting support!”

“Forward, forward!”

"Firefly Team 2 has lost signal."

"We were attacked in the Rift Valley."

"Ha...ha..." In the cockpit, Liuying gasped lightly. Her eyes had lost their luster after a long battle. She was completely exhausted. All she could hear was the noisy chatter of her companions.

"Is it Firefly's past again? Grammer's Embers...just hearing the title sounds ominous."

Liu Xiu murmured.

They won't all die, right?

Otherwise why is it called "embers"?

So many Sams actually died... How terrifying are their enemies?

"No wonder Liuying ended up in the hands of the Galaxy Hunter... Her companions are probably already dead."

Yin Lihua felt heartbroken.

Although Liuying looks so weak, she has experienced so many cruel things.

…………

"The scene gradually shifted from the cockpit to the exterior. At Firefly's feet were at least a thousand dead insects."

"But... it's too little."

"She looked up at the sky. An endless swarm of insects covered the entire sky, obscuring the sun."

"Compared to that, a mere thousand bugs are far too few."

"The sky was filled with Grammer's cavalry and Zerg swarms flying around, explosions were everywhere, and there was no sign of life on the entire planet."

"As the insect swarm attacked, Liuying clenched her fists, and blazing flames erupted."

"With one punch, more than ten insects were instantly burned to ashes."

"But more bugs immediately attacked!"

"Liuying, who had been fighting for who knows how long, only felt a wave of weakness."

"The sharp teeth of the insects were about to rip through her armor."

"Another Grammer cavalryman descended from the sky and dispatched the bugs with a clean and efficient blow."

"Stand up! The target is just ahead. Keep breaking through!"

""yes!""

"Liuying followed him and charged forward. Not only them, but countless Grammer cavalrymen were also charging forward with all their might."

"They killed the insects one by one, and some of Grammer's cavalry fell to the swarm."

"I didn't understand how terrifying the insect swarm was before. After all, those people in the Sky Curtain include the Fate Walker and the Order Envoy. Each one of them is incredibly powerful. Wouldn't it be easy to kill a few insects?"

"Now I understand... No one told me this bug was so scary!"

A villager who had just experienced a locust plague not long ago was still in shock.

The bugs in the sky are as big as humans!

And there are so many of them, they cover the sky and the earth, and you can't see the end of them at a glance.

He thought, if the locusts in the locust plague he had experienced grew to the size of humans... then he would not survive and would be eaten by the insects.

…………

"Finally, they're approaching, approaching that mountain-sized queen!"

"They stood on the ground, looked up, and felt as small as ants."

"The giant queen insect flapped its wings, and countless insects the size of humans were born from its body, attacking us like a flood."

"Faced with the sandstorm-like sea of ​​insects, thousands of Grammer's cavalry vanished in an instant."

"Gulu! Why is this bug so big?"

Yang Jian's eyes were filled with horror.

The Star-Breaking King Bug cultivated by Ruan Mei doesn’t seem to be this big, right?

"Maybe this insect is specifically used for reproduction?" Dugu Jialuo guessed.

It is reasonable that they will be larger in size to reproduce.

…………

"Who's still alive? Cover me as I approach the Queen!" the captain shouted.

"Yes." Liuying immediately took the order.

"The captain handed Liuying a device."

"What is this?" Liuying was puzzled.

"The captain didn't explain, only ordered: 'Start immediately at the signal!'"

"Then, the captain rushed directly towards the queen."

"Liuying didn't dare delay and immediately provided cover from the rear with artillery."

"After overcoming numerous obstacles, the captain finally landed behind the queen."

"But before she could even rejoice, a sharp horn shot out from the queen's back and instantly pierced through the captain's body!"

"Ah!" Liuying exclaimed.

"But the captain wasn't dead yet. He used the last of his strength to tear off the visor from his helmet and threw it at the queen's back."

"Agreement passed...carry out...scorched earth warfare...for Her Majesty the Queen!"

"He let out a final cry, and Liuying, shedding tears, activated the device."

"A beam of azure blue light, emitting blazing energy, descended from space, first piercing through the captain's body, then the queen's."

"boom!"

"The horrific explosion instantly spread over tens of thousands of miles."

"What a loyal group of soldiers." Wu Zetian smiled.

It's hard not to suspect that she was delighted by the words "For Her Majesty the Queen".

For her, this sentence is so relatable!

It’s just a pity that her Great Zhou did not have such powerful weapons and army.

Otherwise, we wouldn't have lost so much territory.

…………

"Liuying was blown away by the huge explosion. I don't know how long it took for her to wake up."

"Everywhere I looked, there were corpses...both those of insects and those of Grammer's Iron Cavalry."

"She looked at everything in front of her with eyes filled with sorrow, her voice hoarse: "Dead? But who is dead?"

Another severely wounded, short-haired "Firefly" rose from the corpses. A glimmer of light disappeared from her eyes as she murmured:

"Born for battle... the glory of the Grammer Iron Cavalry... for... Her Majesty the Queen..."

"Then, she completely lost her strength, fell to her knees, and didn't move again."

"Liuying was speechless, tears just kept falling from the corners of her eyes."

"Why...die? Why...live?"

"It seems as if past memories appeared before Liuying's eyes."

"It's a huge underground warehouse, filled with thousands of petri dishes. Fireflies grow one after another in the petri dishes simultaneously, and then become soldiers at the same time."

"For Grammer! For Her Majesty!"

"All the Fireflies shouted in unison."

"They are just such lives, designed by humans to exist for war and die for war."

"Until now, the purpose of the existence of all Grammer's Iron Cavalry is only two things: for Grammer! For Her Majesty the Queen!"

"But..." Liuying said with a sad expression, "Grammer no longer exists."

"So, what's the point of their existence? Why are they fighting the Zerg here?"
