"No, looking at Miss Firefly crying, my heart hurts."

"Sigh~ This must be related to the destruction of the Republic of Glamoth."

"Miss Firefly's past must have been very cruel and arduous."

Just when many people were excited, Kafka had already clicked the play button, and suddenly, this animated short 【Embers of Glamoth】 also started playing.

【In the darkness, the voices of several Sam mechas like Firefly rang out urgently—】

【"Command, Firefly Team 4 found the Mother Bug."】

【"Requesting support!"】

【"Repeat, requesting support!"】

【"Advance! Advance!"】

【Firefly Team 2 lost signal!】

【"We were attacked in the rift area!"】

【"Advance! Advance!"】

【"Advance! Advance!"】

【"Requesting support!"】

【"Repeat requesting support!"】

【As the darkness gradually dissipated, Firefly's exquisite face appeared on the screen, but at this time, drops of sweat hung on Firefly's cheeks, and she was panting heavily, her state was already extremely bad.】

【As the camera zoomed out, the head of Sam, or rather the Firefly Type-IV mecha, appeared in front of everyone.】

【The Firefly Type-IV mecha operated by Firefly stood on a mountain of corpses, and all around, in the sky, countless firepower burst out, and the Swarm came like a sky-covering cloud.】

【The smoke of war obscured the blue of the sky, only blood and fire filled this battlefield. The tragedy and cruelty of the battle were vividly displayed in just one picture, one shot.】

Where the Astral Express crew is.

Stelle's eyes were complicated, and she said in a low voice: "Is this the experience Firefly had in the past?"

【"In such a tragic war..."】

Welt Yang sighed: "War has always been cruel, but for survival, for interests, for ambition, when has there ever been a lack of war in the galaxy."

March 7th said sadly: "But looking at such a cruel war and thinking of Miss Firefly, my heart aches."

Livestream room.

"Is this Miss Firefly's past experience? It really hurts!"

"War is like this, cruel and ruthless. No matter what, it is a rare luck that Miss Firefly could survive as a survivor of Glamoth."

"Sigh, looking at Miss Firefly in the video just now, she must be very tired, but she is still persisting."

"Sure enough, although Miss Firefly looks weak, she is a strong and amazing person!"

"I feel that the more I know about Miss Firefly, the more I like and admire her."

"As someone living in a relatively peaceful environment, this time I truly understand the cruelty and ruthlessness of war."

【The Swarm of Propagation kept flying and attacking, and the Glamoth Iron Cavalry kept fighting and fighting. Explosions rang out, clusters of firepower sprayed, and countless Swarms turned into fragments and fell from the sky.】

【Many Iron Cavalry also died under the siege of the Swarm.】

【Life and death blended together, becoming the most common scene on this battlefield.】

【Looking at the comrades fighting all around and the Swarm attacking without fear of death, Firefly operated the Firefly Type-IV mecha, burning flames flowing around her body, waving her fists to attack the bugs one by one.】

【Every time she hit a Propagation Swarm, a burst of flames would erupt, burning it to ashes.】

【But before, it could be seen from Firefly's state that she was already extremely tired. In this situation, I don't know if she can persist until the moment this battle ends.】

【Even though I already know that Firefly can survive, I still can't help but feel worried and heartbroken.】

【It seems that everyone's worries came true. After a round of offensive, perhaps because of physical exhaustion, the reaction of the Firefly Type-IV Sam mecha slowed down. Under the siege of countless Swarms, it was hit in the back and fell into a disadvantage.】

【Suddenly, a group of Swarms saw this and immediately seized the opportunity to attack the Firefly Type-IV mecha driven by Firefly, who had been repelled.】

【Suddenly, a beam of artillery shells tore through the void, blowing the attacking Swarm into powder. At the same time, a Glamoth Iron Cavalry mecha came to Firefly's side, temporarily clearing the surrounding Swarm.】

【Her mecha type seemed to be the same Firefly Type-IV as Firefly's. Perhaps because she had experienced too many battles, it was already damaged.】

Livestream room.

"That was close, it was really too dangerous just now."

"Fortunately, there was help from a comrade, otherwise this would have been really ominous."

"Is this the battlefield? A moment of carelessness is the distance between life and death. Even if Miss Firefly has such a powerful mecha as Sam, she still fell into such a crisis."

"The ruthlessness of war is never a false statement."

Somewhere on an unknown planet in the universe.

Firefly looked at the war in the short film, and a flash of sadness flashed in her eyes.

This was a memory from a long time ago. At that time, she didn't have the name Firefly, she was just... a weapon of war.

【Inside the Firefly Type-IV mecha, Firefly was panting heavily, looking at the comrade in front of her. Perhaps because she was too tired, she couldn't even say a word at this time.】

【The Glamoth Iron Cavalry who saved Firefly from the Swarm's offensive turned to look at Firefly behind her, and said in the unified voice of the Glamoth Iron Cavalry mecha: "Stand up, the target is right in front, continue to break through!"】

【Firefly panted and responded forcefully to the order: "Yes!"】

【Then, Firefly pulled herself together, drove the Firefly Type-IV mecha, and launched an offensive against the Swarm again.】

【At the same time, under the huge smoke of war and explosions, not only Firefly, but other Glamoth Iron Cavalry also broke through to the front one after another. Under the background music, their backs looked particularly tragic.】

【In the process of breaking through, comrades and companions around them kept sacrificing and passing away, but the offensive of breaking through never slowed down. This is war, this is the battlefield!】

【Firefly kept operating the Firefly Type-IV to raise her fists, and the burning flames burned the Swarm blocking the front one by one.】

【The Swarm covered the sky and the sun, as if it had infinite numbers. Even under the continuous killing of Firefly and her comrades, the number did not seem to decrease.】

【Roaring, fighting, explosions, flames, the cruelty and heroism of war were vividly displayed at this moment.】

Livestream room.

"Is this war? It clearly has nothing to do with me, but looking at those Glamoth Iron Cavalry dying on the road of breaking through and charging, I feel bad inside."

"This is war, it is cruel, ruthless, but also heroic and moving."

"However, if there were no war in this world, how good would it be? They wouldn't have to become weapons of war, and maybe they would have their own lives."

"Sigh~ But there has never been a lack of strife in the world. How difficult it is for war to disappear."

【Just when Firefly and other Glamoth Iron Cavalry were desperately breaking through in the ocean of the Swarm, suddenly a huge True Stinging Bug appeared in front of all the Glamoth Iron Cavalry.】

【Its huge body obscured the sky in front, and the terrifying and horrifying hiss resounded through the battlefield. Those blood-red eyes stared fixedly at the surviving Glamoth Iron Cavalry, as if they were meals waiting to be enjoyed on a plate.】

【And under the huge True Stinging Bug, countless Swarms gathered into a wave of ocean, drowning towards the Glamoth Iron Cavalry who looked like ants.】

【One Glamoth Iron Cavalry after another resisted desperately in the desperate situation, but eventually died one by one under the sea of bugs.】

【One of the Glamoth Iron Cavalry was directly broken out of her mecha, her helmet shattered. Inside the mecha, the long hair of the young pilot girl scattered because of the shattering of the helmet, and then, she lost her life.】

【Comrades and companions beside her died one by one in the sea of bugs, and Firefly's panting became heavier and heavier, but under the will to survive, she was still resisting the Swarm's offensive desperately.】

Where the Astral Express crew is.

March 7th's eyes shone with water, she covered her lips and whispered: "Is this the Propagation Swarm Disaster?"

【"Did Mr. Tieernan and the Moth Family face such a crisis back then?"】

Welt Yang also sighed: "The suffering caused by the Propagation Swarm Disaster may be much more serious than we imagined."

Stelle said in a low voice: "That Glamoth Iron Cavalry who died under the siege of the Swarm was also a girl! Why let these people get involved in such a cruel battlefield!"

Livestream room.

"Are there no men in the Republic of Glamoth? Letting these young girls face such a cruel war, you really have a way!"

"Could it be that every operator inside the Glamoth Iron Cavalry is such a girl?"

"Bastard, it's really infuriating."

"That True Stinging Bug, my god, it's so oppressive, how did Miss Firefly survive in this situation!"

"The Propagation Swarm Disaster is indeed an extremely terrifying disaster."

"And those bugs, ordinary people would probably have weak legs if they saw this scene."

"How can this break through? Is it really going to be wiped out?"

"Wiped out your head, Miss Firefly is still here."

"I'm curious, why are the Glamoth Iron Cavalry driven and operated by these girls? Is it really like what the brother said before, that Glamoth has no adult men?"

"Yeah, although I don't discriminate against women, after all, even the Cloud Knights have many powerful female experts, but this is too outrageous."

"Damn it, I felt so uncomfortable when I saw that girl's mecha being smashed and her hair scattered."

"Speaking of which, in the relic set 'Firmament Frontline: Glamoth', you might be able to find some clues."
