Protect the empire, and protect you. 【Short essay attached】

After the ember project team folded the space and entered the pirate star, Huo Dongxing's commander-in-chief began to lack sleep.

If you observe carefully, the bright lights in the bedroom on the second floor of the No. [-] Military Headquarters have already betrayed their master—Marshal Aiden Scott. the point.

On the tenth day, the first ray of morning light had just caught sight of the window lattice of No. 367 courtyard, and the captain of the Xihe Jialai Baihe suddenly came to report—if it were someone else, he would never have the guts to disturb the marshal's dream at this moment Yes—received the news half a day later, saying that at ten o'clock this morning, all the members of the Ember project team, all the officers and soldiers of the "Temple" who disappeared in the encounter at the Xiaofenggu Star Space Port, and the missing flight HAH[-] in the baby universe All the passengers, Captain Wu Liman, the "Valkyrie of the Empire", and...

The former king, Huo Dongqian, will go down to the apron of the Knights headquarters and return to Huo Dongxing.

Marshal Scott's lips trembled and he pressed them forcibly, staring at a brief title in the incoming message for a long time; his eyes were sore and swollen, and he was about to shed tears.

However, if you think about it carefully, if you really cry for him, that person may laugh and shake your head after seeing it.

The commander-in-chief of the armed forces touched the tip of his nose, and he also felt that he was funny.So he got up and went to the bathroom to wash his clean and refreshing face, dipped his slender fingers in water, and smoothed back all the silvery forehead hair; he shaved the stubble that he had neglected recently in front of the mirror, Showing the upright appearance of "seeing Aiden for life", he solemnly put on his military uniform, and went to meet the triumphant team from Gaowei.

We have won the battle of high dimensions.The commander-in-chief of the armed forces solemnly buttoned the highest collar button, quietly watching the person in the mirror, with a faint smile that he had not seen for many days floating on the corners of his lips.

The future of the empire is formidable, and the future can be expected.

**********************************

Those who arrived at the beginning were all people the marshal did not know.

Wave after wave of strangely dressed earthlings came one after another, step by step occupying the established waiting area planned by the commander-in-chief for the triumphant division.As more and more people appeared on the tarmac, Marshal Scott felt a little dizzy, and realized why the new king and Xu Shihui chose such an open place for the first stop of their return.

The people who returned first were not noisy, only some flight passengers who looked less stable stared back and forth at Marshal Scott with bright eyes.These earthlings from the infant universe repeatedly lingered on Aiden Scott's eye-catching facial features and the insignificant platinum stars on the shoulders of the military uniform with unconcealed curiosity. Sneaky for fear of being heard by the other party.However, through the automatic translation of the Earth language on the personal terminal, the marshal will still capture the scalp-wrenching phrases such as "the seal of the light descendants" and "the staff of the guards".

——Silver Ya, this bastard girl, how many people on earth have you talked about the grievances and entanglements on the original timeline?Marshal Scott didn't know if the princess had mentioned another secret and painful relationship between him and the old marshal, and the veins on his forehead couldn't help popping up.

...Moreover, how long will he be haunted by that old bastard Guangyi Tuxi in this life?The Marshal of the Empire thought displeased.

In the meantime, the source of the gossip was like a gust of wind blowing on his face, and it seemed to have a bit of the fragrance of the past, gently jumping in front of him.The former princess didn't wait for him to react, she stretched her arms around the Marshal's shoulders, and called him affectionately:

"Aiden!"

Marshal Scott was stunned, staggered by the vigorous princess, and took half a step back to stand firm; while he looked at the long-lost but still familiar eyebrows, most of the anger in his heart disappeared.

"...Silver Fang." He called softly, and couldn't hold back his smile in his cold words, "—ah, you will grow old too."

"To each other, you are too old." The princess supported the marshal's shoulders and looked at him, "You are actually more haggard than I remembered. Aiden, what have you been through these years?"

"—Troubled by love?" The Princess didn't hit hard.

"Nonsense." The commander-in-chief was expressionless, "What about your ordinary spouse? Let me see where it is?"

"What's unremarkable?" The princess rolled her eyes, turned around and searched for a familiar figure in the crowd, "He should be with Shi Hui and the others... ah—Shi Hui, Madara!"

The princess saw Xu Shihui and the new king who had just reached the fifth latitude, and waved.Marshal Scott followed her gaze, and he never noticed Xu Yuanqi in the crowd, nor did he see the new king and Xu Shihui; he only looked far away and saw the former king.

Strange to say, there seemed to be light in the surging crowd, but it just shone on Huo Dongqian, and the commander-in-chief of the three armies noticed it at a glance.

The former king was attracted by the voice of the princess, and obviously also saw Marshal Scott here.The two giants of Huo Dongxing looked at each other across the crowd, the marshal was emotional, he pursed his thin lips, subconsciously, he took a step back.

But the former king actually smiled, stepped on a pair of rattling mechanical limbs, and strode towards him with big strides, and the sea of ​​people behind him seemed to be shining for this moment.The former king's eyes were fiery and frank, which even made the marshal timid, making him have nowhere to retreat from the opponent's enthusiastic footsteps.When the former king's warm embrace tightly surrounded him, he accidentally let out a cry from his closed lips, and the tip of his nose was sore.

Before the marshal could recover, he was hugged tightly by Huo Dongqian, and he could even smell the scent of herbal tea that he was used to drinking.He was as shocked as a piece of wood, his arms fell stiffly between the seams of his trousers, hesitating whether to lift them up, trembling back to embrace the king with mechanical limbs in front of him.

God knows how much he wanted to hold his sight, hug him, and kiss him.

Since he knew the secrets of the higher dimension, and dreamed back at midnight, he would selfishly think, what would happen if time went back to each other's teenagers.At that time, the young king had not yet had his legs amputated by the invaders. He was proud of his talents and had lofty aspirations.How stable and complete everything was at that time, and the timeline seemed to be moving in the best and best direction.

"—Let me protect the empire and protect you." At that time, he clearly made a sincere promise to the king who grew up with him.They can obviously become another pair of "double stars".

I changed first, Qian.

... modest.The marshal fell deeply into the arms of the former king, his lips parted slightly, and he wanted more greedily.

"Aiden!" Huo Dongqian only called him happily, hugged him tightly, let go of him, and slapped the marshal's broad back hard with his big hand, his face was full of joy of reunion with old friends, "Oh, I finally saw him again. You have a stinky face."

The Princess waved her hand, pulled her former brother over, and greeted briskly: "Is it? I was just saying that Aiden's face is worse than I remembered. It seems that his temper has grown over the years."

"You don't even know how arrogant he has been in these years. You are not here, I am the only one who endures it." Huo Dongqian rolled his eyes and looked at the princess.

"Know a thing or two, know a thing or two, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha." The princess nodded and laughed.

The brothers and sisters asked and answered briskly in front of the marshal, as if yesterday.The marshal's heart tightened, and the hand that was hanging in the air, which was about to be raised, was quickly put down, and the whole soul shrank into the shell like a snail.He was brought back to reality by the words of the two childhood sweethearts, and began to dislike himself as funny.

Now that things are up to now, it's like a joke to desire any more.

"Oh." The commander-in-chief of the three armies of the empire took a deep breath and raised his eyebrows, "My ground vehicle was split in half by the Daisy, and I was sent to the ICU of Zixun Hospital to save my life, which is less than two months It's just a matter of the past. I'm really sorry that I can't show my best state to greet His Majesty now."

"—Yinya, look at him, look at him." The late king couldn't help turning to the princess to complain.The princess leaned on her brother's shoulder and laughed again.

Alright Aiden.The princess raised her head amidst a laugh, and stretched out her hand to pinch his upper arm.

Huo Dongqian also smiled helplessly, raised his hand and pressed on the Marshal's chest, his tone was gentle and concerned: "Then...you were seriously injured back then and went to the battlefield, how is your recovery now?"

"I'm fine." The marshal's tone softened, and he looked at him gently, "What about you?"

"The medical technology on the Pirate Asterisk is advanced, and I'm fine." The late king nodded, and suddenly laughed again, "Oh, it's not all right, you see—after this farewell, my country has been usurped."

Marshal Scott rolled his eyes: "Anyway, you have no intention of governing the country, why don't you abdicate and write your novel that no one reads."

"Don't talk nonsense, my novel is serialized on the Pirate Star, but many people like it."

Alright alright.The Marshal patted him: "You... I'll send a car to take His Majesty back to the palace, the Queen Mother... I'm still waiting for you."

Um.good.

"I'll go too." The princess took the late king's hand, "I haven't seen the queen mother for a long time, I want to find her to catch up on the old days."

Huo Dongqian deliberately disliked it: "You went to her before, and nothing good happened. This time, she will probably have another headache when she sees you again."

"She won't." The princess sneered.

"The queen mother has been haggard recently, and I think she has been suffering from lovesickness." The marshal paused, and for some reason, he added in a mean-spirited sentence, "She has never listened to His Majesty's explanation of the dimensional dispute. Now that I think about it, there should be many I want to ask you something."

I guess so.Huo Dongqian nodded, because he owed her... a lot of explanations.

——I owe her a lot.The late king looked at the crowd behind him thoughtfully.

Marshal Scott remained silent, and, together with the former king, looked back at the apron of the Knights headquarters where the wind was flying.Since he was a child, he has often accompanied the prince to visit this open land on the hillside; later, he followed Guangyi Tuxi to inspect; and later, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he mobilized many people to come to give lectures. In 200 years, it seems that the scenery of this river valley has not been shaken by half.The Zhenhuang River is still and deep, rushing forward as always, surrounding the town of Mo'er; the tiger's beard grass that grows randomly on the cliff all the year round, has not been affected by the turmoil of the family and country, and continues to grow thick and strong, fluttering in the wind.

At this moment, all the soldiers trapped in the temple returned to the court one by one, and warmly reunited with the former comrades-in-arms of the Knights, embracing each other and weeping, the scene was lively and moving.Even when a medical officer stationed in the Knights saw his fiancée who was missing in the temple again, his blood pressure suddenly rose until he fainted, and was quickly dragged to the medical cabin by his colleagues for rescue.

What a blessing to meet again after a long absence.

While speaking, the new king of the empire pulled Xu Shihui and ran briskly all the way, excited like a child. He came to stand in front of Marshal Scott, and announced loudly as if the commander-in-chief of the armed forces did not know: "Aidenden, we are back!!"

"Understood, Your Majesty." The marshal took a step back in disgust, feeling that his ears were going deaf.

He was afraid that if the new king didn't care about his age and the old wounds hadn't healed, he would jump on him like he did when he was a child, hugging him in circles.

"We have mentally controlled the Protoss!! Implanted cognitive instructions! They have all migrated to the branch world!! There is no one in the sixth dimension! No one controls our timeline anymore!" The new king ignored it, Marshal Scott was still yelling, "Aiden! We have won!!"

Well done, Your Majesty.The marshal smiled, ruffled the hair of the king of a country vigorously, and stared at the other party's face that was somewhat similar to Huo Dongqian, but also much more handsome genetically.

Marshal, you have worked hard too.The new king was rarely annoyed, with disheveled hair and a sincere smile.

"Aiden still has old injuries on his body, you should be lighter." Huo Dongqian reminded his son.

I'm fine.The Marshal lowered his head and responded in a low voice.

"Don't spoil him too much." The former king pointed to the new king, and suddenly a nondescript metaphor appeared, "A loving mother is a failure, do you understand?" After finishing speaking, even Huo Dongqian couldn't help but chuckle.

What are you talking about.The marshal and the new king looked at Huo Dongqian at the same time and spoke in unison.

Huo Dongqian raised his hand and patted Marshal Scott on the shoulder. They looked at each other and paused for a moment.

"Aiden." His eyes were frank, just like his name: a modest gentleman, as gentle as jade.

--Um?

Go ahead and protect the empire, protect your king.

Yes, Your Majesty.

【Small Essay: Talking about Aiden】

Except for Madara and Shi Hui, the protagonists, my favorite among the characters is Aiden-probably many readers have discovered it. (The other one is Qimei, some people may also find it, hehe)

So some people probably want to figure out, if Aiden Scott has a love of his life, who is that person?

This question has a clear answer here.I tend to answer: the Aiden on the original timeline (Volume [-], Volume [-]), the person who loves the most is the Seal of Lightborn; and the timeline opened from the baby time emblem (Volume [-], Volume [-]) However, it was Huo Dongqian who kept Aiden in his heart.

Admiral Scott on the original timeline, after emotionally breaking up with Guangyi Tuxi, still spent half his life with the Marshal as the "wind under the banner" and took care of the Marshal's clone as if it was his own. Adults; at that time, if there is no love hidden in the heart, it is absolutely impossible.Even though that Aiden knew that Guangyi Tuxi was an ambitious man who put himself to death; after the reversal of time and space, he was still emotional.Until the end, he was brainwashed by the light-born Tuxi, and his identity was changed to the "second Aiden" in volume [-] & volume [-], still because of his emotional weakness towards the light-born marshal.

"Second Aiden" was different.All his memories of Guangyi Tuxi came to an abrupt end after his death, and he had no experience of being entangled with Guangyi Tuxi for most of his life; all his doubts about the death of the marshal turned into hatred towards Huo Dongqian.It can be said that since the second Aiden split into two from the Aiden on the source timeline, all his attention has been focused on Huo Dongqian.Before knowing the truth of Gao Wei, this kind of attention was full of hostility; after knowing the truth of Gao Wei, it turned into guilt and regret, and finally slowly turned into love (he also treated Huo Dongqian's son Ban as he did back then. The same as the time emblem of the Marshal clone, silently guarding all the way).How much he hated Huo Dongqian at the beginning, how guilty he was when he knew the truth, how much he regretted the inhumanity he entrusted to him, and regretted that the person he had chosen was Guangyi Tuxi instead of being so miserable that his legs were cut off by the enemy. To watch the bamboo horse fall in love with Huo Dongqian, his savior.

(This is also the reason why Huo Dongqian went from being a good young man who was proud of his talents to lying down and hiding from the world after being cut off. I tend to think that the two of them liked each other a little hazy back then-there was a silver tooth added in the middle of the year, is it A very pure and happy young tame dye trio - but the young Aiden still fell in love with the shining fighting hero after all.)

There has always been a subtle sense of tension between Guangyi Tuxi and Huo Dongqian.Whether it's because of the natural confrontation between military power and royal power, or because the young Aiden has gradually moved from Huo Dongqian's side to the hero in his heart, these two people are probably destined not to get along well.Even the Marshal of Lightborn, who had been firmly occupying Aiden's body and mind during his lifetime, showed his concern for Huo Dongqian (as a rival in love) in his daily conversations and actions.I intentionally left a lot of minor hostility of the marshals in Volume [-] and Volume [-]. If readers are interested in rereading, they will see traces of the jealousy of these marshals.

As for Huo Dongqian, the only time in his life that he was forced to face to face was when Aiden raised his gun tearfully and questioned after his memory was edited: "Why can't you tolerate him"?Huo Dongqian completed a major awakening at the end of the third volume. The emperor of waste wood led his troops to encircle and suppress the magic ear Alpha star, and forced the light descendant map seal to a dead end; some of this was out of righteousness, and some of it was out of selfishness Only the king himself knows (but of course he wouldn't get the right answer under the circumstances, stupid Aiden).And in the end, the humble gentleman stopped at friendship with Aiden.

Looking at the two Aidens, after completing the transformation from one to two, the second Aiden is full of hatred, his personality is gradually cold, and his style of doing things is quite vicious; after learning the truth of the timeline, he yearns for the original timeline Aiden felt that the other party was benevolent and kind, and he was worthy of a great responsibility.But in fact, the "perfect Aiden" in his heart does not exist; although the first Aiden is loved so much, he still can't let go of the Lightborn Seal that represents "evil" in his heart; the second Aiden has many evil deeds, In my heart, I yearn for Huo Dongqian, who represents "goodness".The two Aidens reflect each other and add a lot of fun to my creation.

——However, Marshal Scott still didn’t get any of them in the end, what a pity.
