The battle on the planet Taga-Pentaros has ended for several days.

But Cano was still disturbed by what happened that day. At the angel's request, he kept the secret and left early from the ruins full of sewage.

He didn't know why the gray-armored veteran lost his mind, nor did he know what method the angel used to deal with him.

The whole thing, from beginning to end, was like a stone falling into a calm lake.

Although there will be ripples, in just a few breaths, the lake will become calm again, and the stone thrown into the lake will be forgotten.

Of course——

Because of this incident, Kano also received an unpleasant nickname.

Corporal Kano heroically killed two enemies in the Battle of Pentalus - this was a disgrace to the entire Space Marines.

Even some outstanding mortal auxiliary troops achieved better results than him in this war.

Kano's inner pain cannot be expressed to others.

I can only come outside to relax alone.

After the Battle of Pentalus, the soldiers of the Ninth Legion did not leave the planet immediately. Instead, they took a short rest here and waited for the arrival of the Legion's flagship.

It was a Queen of Glory class battleship named Red Tears. Kano was lucky enough to see the overall image of this battleship at the Jupiter Foss Shipyard from the expansion pack. It was not so much a powerful tool that brought destruction and war.

, rather than a work of art, the entire battleship is full of coordination and amazing artistic beauty.

Kano continued along the gravel path.

Behind a tall hedge, a well-groomed garden lies in gloomy ruins. The hedge and surrounding trees pierce the sky, and the dust in the garden casts a haze on it.

In the center of the garden are rows of gray-black rock slabs, with lilies and daffodils growing on the shallow water bottom. The source of the living water comes from unknown sources, nourishing the bright flowers. Delicate orchids and weeping poplars dot the pond.

Surroundings.

When the Space Marines of the Ninth Legion raided the capital of the planet Pentalus, this garden was also affected by the flames of war.

Many stone slabs were shattered by artillery fire, and the huge crater made the pond deeper than before. The scattered gravel and plant roots have not been completely cleared, dotted on the pebbled path. Fortunately, the source of the pond has not been completely cleared.

After it was destroyed and the contaminated water source was replaced, the beauty of this flower garden was preserved to the greatest extent.

Surrounding the pond, auxiliary troops in twos and threes were bragging and playing cards in the bright moonlight.

Kano tried his best to keep a distance and not let his appearance disturb their interest.

But usually, this is difficult.

Space Marines are already extremely tall, and Kano is recognized as a "giant" even among Space Marines. It is not easy to hide himself.

One after another, the sound of greetings rang in my ears.

Respect mixed with a little fear.

Kano nodded in response. At the beginning, he was a little proud, but soon he was just troubled.

Fortunately, the deeper you go into this garden.

As the lights dimmed, there were fewer and fewer soldiers playing cards and chatting around.

It was rare for Kano to be quiet, and he could finally hear the chirping of amphibians and the buzzing of night flies.

The air is filled with moist water vapor, and the thin color of the daffodils is almost invisible in the thick night. They are floating in the clear lake water.

At the end of the pebble path, there is also the end of the pond.

Where the living water gurgled out, stood a young girl with golden hair.

He looks about fifteen or sixteen years old, with fair skin and slender limbs. There is not a single flaw on his well-sculpted face.

All her attention was focused on the drawing book in her hand. The pencil in her hand was quickly drawing lines. Kano could hear the rhythmic rustling sound coming from the girl's fingers, which made people feel peaceful inexplicably.

His appearance distracted the girl's attention.

The rustle of the pencil rubbing against the paper stopped. The girl raised her head and nodded to Kano, "Hello, Corporal Kano."

"Hello."

Kano made a fist with his right hand and placed it on his heart, performing a military salute of a fist of unity.

He didn't know if his appearance had disturbed the girl's creation, but Kano decided to leave this place as soon as possible.

After taking two steps, Kano's brows gradually frowned. He was sure that he had never seen that girl before, but he felt inexplicably familiar.

And——

How did she know her name?

Bang!

Kano stopped abruptly, turned around, and saw the girl holding a picture book in her hand looking at him with a crooked eyebrow, a teasing smile on her fair face.

Kano felt his second heart tremble violently.

The moment his eyes met, an incredible idea appeared in his consciousness.

"Angel!?"

Kano looked around to make sure there was no one around, then he boldly lowered his voice and spoke.

The girl nodded slightly, and a pair of wings composed of pure light appeared behind her. In an instant, they turned into countless light feathers and dissipated in the bright moonlight.

"This is crazy!"

Kano's brows twitched fiercely, he lowered his head and circled around the girl.

I was so shocked that I almost stepped into a puddle.

"My mom, how did you do that?" Kano said, "If it weren't for the echo brought by psychic energy, it would be almost impossible for me to realize this."

"In the eyes of a thousand people, the Emperor of Mankind has a thousand different images."

The angel explained, "And I inherited this special ability from my father."

"Did you predict that we would meet here?"

The angel nodded.

"Is it because of that incident?" Kano regretted it after saying it.

The smile on the angel's face disappeared, and his expression became gloomy, but he still nodded, "You are also an insider about that matter, and I must give you an explanation."

"What the hell is going on?"

Kano asked in confusion, "How is that veteran doing now?"

"He was lost in the blood and fury, but it was not his fault." The angel replied, "There is a certain hidden expression in my genetic spiral, like a poisonous snake lurking in the darkness. Once it reaches a certain level,

At a critical point, it will completely break out of control, turning the most noble warrior into a bloodthirsty beast. In the past few days, I have tried to wake him up from his confusion, but I can't do anything."

Kano is silent.

With the help of the moonlight, he could see the unwillingness and pain on the angel's face.

There is even a trace of confusion.

"We will always find a solution to the problem. We have 30,000 souls in common. We work towards one goal. There is no enemy that cannot be defeated." Kano comforted him. In fact, he did think so.
