Chapter 24 - Chapter 24: Even if the Blade is at My Throat, I Won't Shed a Tear

Ye Ming's words were brief but powerful. Before Firefly could react, he let out a laugh and then explained with a natural expression: "Because our little family's savings are all with you. When it's time to get married, if those candies are not the sweetest, and there are some that we don't like, it would be a bit of a waste not to be able to get the best of both worlds, wouldn't it?"

"It's not bad to eat!"

Firefly pouted her cute little mouth and replied to Ye Ming. Ye Ming smiled and cooperated with her performance.

Firefly was used to this kind of playful teasing. The corner of her mouth curved into a faint smile.

"In the future, and during our days off, in the city where we live, after we get married, we will have a semi-rich life. And every month after the old man retires, besides our first bucket of gold, at that time, we will use it for our wedding expenses."

Firefly gestured with her fingers and began to calculate.

"So that's how it is. Before we get married, there is still the last part. This time, I will help you find a job. We can learn from the dessert shop you used to work at, open a mochi shop, and at that time, many people will like our mochi shop. You operate, I operate the mochi shop."

"The dessert shop is not bad at all," he said. He had not forgotten AR-1368's original proposal to help them. Everyone came together to start a chain store.

"That's great. It can not only greatly ease the social pressure, but also not be a burden for our life."

She just wanted to arrive at the picture she had imagined. Firefly closed her eyes and the crescent moon appeared in her mind. Her eyes were full of anticipation for the future. She planned to have a flash of light.

Firefly's blushing cheeks were seen by Ye Ming. If in the future, it could be like the life Firefly had imagined, that would be great.

But in his heart, he was not sure of such a future. He knew that this was impossible. The ruthless shelling of the war, in the front line, after the retreat, was very skillful. For example, now, the front line had not received any orders from the Empress for a long time.

He only said that after the Empress destroyed the Swarm, she absorbed their power, and she was already exhausted. It was just a rumor. The Empress had not been seen for almost a few decades. The normal situation was that the Empress could not contact the front line.

This could only happen in one situation. The Glamoth Empire, or in other words, the possible scenario was that in the historical war between the Glamoth Republic and the Swarm, it had already been destroyed.

Under the Empress's orders, the Glamoth Republic, it was very likely that they no longer existed. This matter, Ye Ming had no one to tell, and it was also meaningless. Because as a decision-maker, any hesitation would not affect the morale of the knights of the Glamoth Iron Knights, but he would believe, how could the death of the Empress be reconciled? The knights who had heard the news would also not hesitate to follow him.

The death of the Empress, the knights who were loyal to the Empress, would most likely, after hearing the news from the Empress, go to the desolate place and die for the Empress.

Ye Ming did not want to see such an ending. Even if it was just a fleeting moment, he had a selfish desire to use his own ability to change the sound of his voice, to more quickly wipe out the Swarm, to end this battle, and to let more knights…

If he had the chance, he also wanted to try to help Firefly and find a solution. He was willing to do all this, and he needed more battle merits.

The price was that he would be forgotten by her even faster, and he would die even earlier.

The Final Choice

The war was still going on. He was still on the front line every time, opening a path for the knights behind him. The fierce battles came one after another. The Swarm's attacks became more and more fierce, and the number of knights of the Glamoth Republic became fewer and fewer. The Iron Knights and the Swarm were still holding on. For who knows how many battles, they had already reached the end.

The Zeronos card in his belt, which had been transformed several times, had already become much dimmer. There were not many cards left that could be used. And he had long since lost track of the other knights. Even if he used the new card, he was only a lot.

In the final battle against the Swarm that cut off contact with the outside world, there were only a few cards left. Could he even touch the completely wiped out Swarm?

Ye Ming didn't know the answer. He could only do his best.

[You are burdened with the card of the mothership, and you have nothing left.]

[You know that after the battle is over, or when the card is used up, it will be the time when all memories are forgotten.]

[You are reluctant to part with the knights who fought alongside you, and you are also eager for the happy future that Firefly has drawn for you. But for the sake of ending the battle faster and letting more knights survive, you are still determined to fight to the last moment.]

[You know that when you are forgotten by everyone, you will be unable to stay in this world, leaving behind only a trace. But because you think that there will be more knights who will live a new life with Firefly, you will not feel that your sacrifice is meaningless. In your heart, there is even a hint of relaxation and comfort.]

When this card was used up, when Firefly once again talked about the future, and saw Firefly's eyes full of hope and anticipation, you still felt the strong unwillingness and pain.

[You decide that in the last moments of your life, you will fulfill one last small mission.]

[You want to give Firefly a special gift.]

[You will let Firefly forget you, and forget the meaning of the memory. You will also be like Nokono, not leaving behind any gifts of will. But you can't bear to do it.]

[You will have a wedding in the ruins of the city.]

[You will ask Firefly for a kiss.]
