If it had been girls, or troops like the Cloud-to-Cloud Cavalry or Silvermane Guards sacrificing themselves, Hua Yi would definitely have been heartbroken.
No, he would most likely protect them the whole time.
But the Swarm received entirely different treatment.
"I want them to become your weapons, used however you please. Squeeze 033 dry! Turn the Swarm Disaster into tools for you to command at will. If you ever get bored one day, I'll burn some bugs and set off fireworks!"
Bang! A huge firework~
Firefly wrinkled her nose and waved her little pink fists, looking fierce.
Then she stuck out her tongue again.
"Um, if you really can save my comrades, please save as many as you can. I'm begging you~ They're cute girls too. I'll make them listen to you from now on; they won't be any worse than those bugs!"
Firefly's series of changing expressions and actions made Hua Yi laugh.
"Why do I get the feeling you want to replace the Empress? You're already giving orders to the other Iron Cavalry?"
"Glamoth may not have been all that glorious, but the Iron Cavalry's ideals were pure. I hope my comrades can be saved, and I hope they can gain new lives."
—Nothing could be happier than being bound to Hua Yi.
Firefly did not say the latter half aloud.
Her eyes merely sparkled as she leaned forward and kissed Hua Yi's cheek.
Smooch.
Sweet and innocent, with a slight dampness.
Firefly's long hair reached her waist, its ends soaking in the dream fluid. As she moved closer, it clung to Hua Yi's clothes, unwilling to part.
"Do you know what our top priority is right now?"
"What?"
Hearing Hua Yi's question, Firefly asked back in a drifting voice, her face red.
