Xing Tie: After the simulation, they all wanted to lock me up in a dark room.

[Three years old. You are undergoing training in a base. Except for your birth, your childhood has been spent in this tin-clad place, a vast expanse of silver. The only companion you have is a Molten Knight who calls herself "Mother." Her hands are warm, and you like them very much. Although she looks the same as the other Iron Knights, you feel that she is different from them in your heart.]

She then told you that this nickname must never be known by anyone else, and you obediently nodded. But one day, she suddenly gave you something you couldn't eat and then disappeared.

After she disappeared, you felt sadness and grief for the first time. Several days after she disappeared, you took out the inedible thing—a book.

In the book, you saw many things you didn't know before, and you also realized that your feelings for the iron-clad woman who called herself "Mother" were actually "love." Love is a beautiful thing. Similarly, the way the book described you believed that was what living was all about.

As you read the book, a slight smile plays on your lips. In this silvery space, as if in winter, spring has arrived for you.

So this is the answer you've been searching for—the feeling of being alive is feeling warmth.

You treasure this book like a precious gem. Someone once tried to steal it, but no matter how hard they tried, you wouldn't let go and would beat up anyone who tried to take it from you.

[Four years old. Your Icefire Armor suddenly developed artificial intelligence. You originally planned to name it "Otto," but the artificial intelligence disliked the name, feeling it was too green, and instead named itself "Prometheus."]

Five years old. You stepped out of that silvery place for the first time, carrying that almost worn-out book. The dazzling sunlight almost made you unable to open your eyes, and then a blue world came into view.

Wow...what a huge, blue roof!

You gaze at the enormous, almost invisible roof, your eyes filled with curiosity and excitement. Meanwhile, some of your companions look on with mockery and disdain. Then, in unison, you lull them all to sleep.

You've mastered the Icefire Armor. Her Majesty the Queen has issued an order for you to carry out a mission called Project Frozen Earth. You've also asked her for a reward: the Ironclad Knight named "Mother." She's the only person you care about now, and the one who taught you the meaning of life.

Escorted by a group of Firefly V elite guards, you arrive at the battlefield, a battlefield known as the battlefield of death. The overwhelming swarms of insects are like a dark night, while the iron cavalry below are like insignificant fireflies. Their almost hopeless numbers make it impossible to see the day the war truly ends.

"Command center, the mother insect of Firefly Type IV has been discovered."

"Requesting backup!"

"Repeated, requesting backup!"

"Forward! Forward!"

"Firefly Team 4 has lost contact."

"We've been attacked!"

"Damn it! Wasn't there supposed to be backup?! Why hasn't it arrived yet?!"

On the battlefield, the Grammer cavalry and the insect swarms were locked in fierce combat, the ground littered with the insect corpses. A white armored vehicle with four pairs of wings on its back descended from the sky, its size far exceeding that of ordinary armored vehicles.

"Icefire All-Round Type has arrived on the battlefield." A Molten Knight in the co-pilot's seat said, trembling.

"Execute Operation Frost Soil!"

"For Her Majesty the Queen! I will give my life!"

"I will freeze the sea of ​​stars!" Chen Yue, in the driver's seat, also shouted out an incredibly cheesy line.

These were lines he learned from a book. He thought they sounded cool, so he just copied them, since that was all he knew about the book.

He was like a blank sheet of paper, and the contents of that book left a deep impression on him.

[As the Icefire Armor activated, the Queen Zerg, which had been harassing countless Grammer cavalry, was frozen and then torn to pieces. The sky, which should have been dominated by the Zerg swarm, was also frozen at absolute zero by the addition of the Icefire Armor, turning into ice powder.]

When the war ended, bluish lines appeared on Chen Yue's face. Looking at the Grammer cavalryman in her arms, frozen to half his body, her last words weren't the regrets uttered by the protagonists in books as they die, but rather…

"For...Her Majesty the Empress...Born to fight...It is the glory of the Grammer Knights..."

He had heard this line countless times and was tired of it. Every time those iron cavalrymen were frozen to death by his armor, they would say this line before they died.

The battlefield around me was littered with the corpses of Grammer cavalry and the Zerg swarm; this war could truly be called a meat grinder.

...Onpharos Campus Chapter...

Xi Lian·Fu Li Lian: I, [Memory] solemnly swear, war against [Pure Beauty] Aglaia! War against [Joy] Saifeier! War against [Void] Heather! War against [Order] Crydela! War against [Balance] Xiaodie! War against [Preservation] Fengjin! War against [Harmony] Tirispicius!

On the playground.

Xi Lian looked at Chen Yue, who was surrounded by that group of philanderers like a star, and felt extremely angry.

Xi Lian: Damn it! I didn't declare war on the [Immortals]!

Without a doubt, A-Yue was forced to come and help, making Xi Lian afraid to use her full strength. How despicable!

This tactic is really dirty!

If she hit A-Yue, wouldn't that give those philandering cats an opportunity to cause trouble?

You bunch of philanderers, you're so despicable and shameless!

In fact, Chen Yue didn't want to join in, since it was all girls playing. If he participated and won against any of them, it would make the other person unhappy.

But when he saw that Aglaia had an extra card, he immediately agreed.

It's just playing games, that's his favorite thing to do.

Meanwhile, Xi Lian sneered. So what if A Yue was here? She had brought in powerful support today.

At that moment, Xia, Bai'e, and Wan Di stood speechlessly behind Xi Lian.

Why should we get involved in your love war?

Xia was also bored at that moment; he didn't want to participate in such a pointless game. Should he pretend to be eliminated?

"Xia, keep it up!" Xia's older sister, Theotimar, was sitting on a seat on the playground and shouted loudly to Xia.

Upon hearing her sister's voice, Xia trembled instantly and could only respond with a smile: "Holy crap, what are you doing here, sister?"

Xi Lian now wore a knowing look on her face: "I don't believe that Xia-tong can't make a humiliating exit in front of her sister!"

Upon seeing this, Aglaia thought to herself: Xi Lian's move is too ruthless!
