Livestream room.

"I found it too. If it is really as stated in the relic story of 'Firmament Frontline: Glamoth', then I think Glamoth's destruction was purely self-inflicted."

"But when they treated living human lives as weapons of war, they were already heading towards destruction."

"But such tragedies have never been rare in the vast universe like the galaxy."

"Sigh~ I seem to understand Sunday's thoughts better. Although I still don't agree with his approach, but... such a world really makes people feel desperate."

"If you feel desperate, just think of Mikhail, Tieernan, Lazalina, Robin, the Mourning Actors, and the Nameless of the Astral Express."

"It is because of their existence that I am still full of hope for this world."

【The animated short continued in the discussion. Under the increasingly strong suppression of the Swarm, beside Firefly, a remaining Glamoth Iron Cavalry killed a Swarm and said in the voice of the Iron Cavalry mecha: "Who else is alive, cover me to approach the Mother Bug!"】

【Behind this Glamoth Iron Cavalry, Firefly's mecha nodded decisively and responded: "Yes."】

【Hearing the voice of her comrade behind her, this Glamoth Iron Cavalry handed an ignition device to Firefly: "Take it."】

【Firefly looked at this device and exclaimed: "This is..."】

【But on the battlefield, there was no time to hesitate. After the Glamoth Iron Cavalry saw Firefly take the ignition device, she immediately turned around and charged towards the Mother Bug, leaving only one sentence: "Start it immediately when you see the signal."】

【Afterwards, I saw that Glamoth Iron Cavalry trying her best to dodge and charge under the continuous offensive of the Swarm, jumping up her body and heading towards that huge Mother Bug.】

【Just as she was about to get close, a huge bug foot pierced the chest of this charging Glamoth Iron Cavalry like a sharp blade.】

【Firefly looked at the appearance of her last remaining comrade, and shock, sadness, and pain flashed in her eyes. Complex emotions were surging in her heart at this moment.】

【The music at this moment seemed extremely tragic in this scene.】

【And that Glamoth Iron Cavalry used her last strength to take off the mask of her helmet and throw it towards the Mother Bug.】

【Under the blood-red sky, this Glamoth Iron Cavalry whose body was pierced by the Mother Bug said in a painful voice: "Protocol passed..."】

【"Executing scorched earth operation..."】

【"For Her Majesty the Empress!"】

【Suddenly, Firefly also murmured: "... For Her Majesty the Empress!"】

【With the landing of the mask, a violent explosion swept across the battlefield, spreading to the surface. Under the intense firelight, even the Mother Bug was submerged in it and turned into ashes.】

【And the Swarm that covered the sky around was also turned into countless ashes under the impact of the explosion.】

【And the Glamoth Iron Cavalry who sacrificed herself, the mecha on her body also shattered, revealing her true body inside. Although her appearance could not be seen clearly, from the body curve and that long hair, it could still be seen that she was a girl like the previous one.】

【This also proved from the side that the previous guesses of everyone were correct, these Glamoth Iron Cavalry were really composed of girls.】

【Firefly's situation was obviously not an exception, but the norm.】

Livestream room.

"Damn it, why does even Miss Firefly's PV have to cut me!"

"Even though we are strangers, why do I still feel so heartbroken looking at them sacrificing themselves!"

"If only my emotions weren't so abundant, I wouldn't be so uncomfortable now."

"So, was Miss Firefly the only one who survived in that final battle?"

"Watching her comrades die before her eyes, how uncomfortable must Miss Firefly have felt."

"Ahhhhh, damn it, why can I only be furiously angry here!"

"Tragic and hot-blooded, cruel and desolate, ruthless death, war, why must you appear!"

"Woooo, war, it's too uncomfortable."

"Because war is paved with mountains of corpses and seas of blood."

"Damn bugs ahhhhhhh! Many disasters in the universe were caused by you Propagation bugs. Sooner or later, I will eliminate you bugs completely."

【After a violent explosion, the screen fell into a gray color, and Firefly's face appeared on the screen, as if she had fallen into a coma due to the impact of the explosion.】

【I don't know how long it had passed, in a slight babble, Firefly slowly supported her weak body.】

【And after Firefly got up, a head similar to Firefly's appearance appeared on the screen.】

【Her eyes were not tightly closed, but they had lost their luster, and messy hair was scattered on her cheeks, but the owner of the hair could no longer tidy it up.】

【The Swarm on this battlefield had all been annihilated in the explosion just now. Between heaven and earth, only the gray color of ashes remained. Firefly supported her weak body and stood up, her blank eyes looking around.】

【But the surrounding world was terrifyingly quiet. The ashes of the Swarm, the corpses of comrades with the same appearance, seemed to be endless on this land.】

【Looking at the dead scene in front of her, Firefly whispered: "... Dead?"】

【"Who... died...?"】

Livestream room.

"Ahhhhh, the one who died is me, it's me, I'm going to be cut to death, ahhhh!"

"Miss Firefly's past is too heartbreaking."

"Glamoth Iron Cavalry, why use such a cruel and illusory lie to deceive these Glamoth Iron Cavalry? They are all such young girls, why do they have to experience such a cruel war."

"Did you guys notice? These Glamoth Iron Cavalry girls, their appearances seem to be about the same."

"You mean..."

"Could it be that they are all cloned lives!"

【"..."】

"You said it well, this possibility is very high."

"In order to ensure that the number of Iron Cavalry would not be exhausted under continuous sacrifice, this approach is definitely what those guys would do."

"Remember the content of the 'Firmament Frontline: Glamoth' relic? - 【In order to reverse the situation under the terrifying offensive of the Swarm, the Governing Council made a desperate move, determined to shake the essence of humanity to adapt to war - creating weapons born for war.】 How to create, for efficiency and results, then there is only one answer."

"Bastards, those bastards, what kind of method is this, what do they treat life as."

"Perhaps facing the Swarm Disaster, the Republic of Glamoth couldn't think of any other way."

"But they didn't just trample on life ethics like this, they even deceived them with the fake 【Empire】 lie. For an empire that never existed, those Glamoth Iron Cavalry died one after another on the road of fighting the Swarm, but they couldn't get the hero's name."

"Hero? If those guys had a shred of recognition of the beauty of humanity, the Republic of Glamoth would not have perished in the end."

"I even suspect that Miss Firefly's Entropy Loss Syndrome is the genetic defect left behind during those cloning processes, in order to keep them under their control and become a pure weapon of war."

【What met the eyes were only broken limbs and corpses everywhere. Firefly's eyes were full of blankness. Suddenly, sadness and grief surged into her heart, and low, powerless sobbing sounded gently on this battlefield, which was so heartbreaking.】

【Suddenly, behind Firefly, a girl with the same appearance as Firefly but with short hair walked towards Firefly with steps that could fall at any time.】

【Half of her body had been blown up, and blood stained her body.】

【In her mouth, she was still using her last strength to say: "Born for war... is the glory of the Glamoth Iron Cavalry..."】

【"For... Her Majesty the Empress..."】

【In the end, that short-haired girl with the same appearance as Firefly knelt powerlessly in front of Firefly and completely lost her breath.】

【Watching her comrade completely cut off her life in front of her, Firefly's eyes shone with tears, two lines of hot tears flowed slowly, and low sobbing sounded faintly on this land that had completely quieted down.】

【Unstoppable tears slid down Firefly's cheeks, silent crying, heartbreaking.】

【"Why... die..."】

【Who was the girl asking? Perhaps even Firefly herself didn't know at the time.】

【Suddenly, memory seemed to return to the moment of birth.】

【In a nutrient tank, rows of neatly arranged girls with the same appearance appeared on the screen.】

【"Why... live?"】

【Firefly asked blankly with a sobbing voice, but no one could answer.】

【In her memory, the scenes of her former self and those comrades existing as Glamoth Iron Cavalry were still vivid, but they were also so distant.】

【"—For Glamoth! For Her Majesty the Empress!"】

【The former Firefly and her comrades thought this was their lifelong philosophy and pursuit.】

【Firefly standing on the battlefield looked up blankly at the gray sky, but for the first time asked a question: "But..."】

【"Glamoth..."】

【"Hasn't existed for a long time..."】

Where the Astral Express crew is.

Stelle had a low look, clenched her fists, and wanted to say something, but for some reason, it was difficult to speak.

March 7th's eyes were filled with overflowing sadness: "Miss Firefly... is this Miss Firefly's past?"

【"She... is really a strong girl."】

Welt Yang said in a low voice: "However, after this ordeal, Miss Firefly must have awakened."

【"It can be seen from the question Miss Firefly asked at this time that the current Miss Firefly is no longer the weapon of war that regarded the past Glamoth and Her Majesty the Empress as the supreme standard."】

The Luo Fu Xianzhou.

Yanqing looked at the screen in the short film, and for a moment, couldn't help but flash a look of sadness: ". Miss Firefly, she is a role model for me to learn from in spirit and will."】

Jing Yuan looked at the short film and sighed: "I believe that Miss Firefly's future will definitely be bright enough. Doesn't she already have partners now?"
