"No, you don't need a Void Hunter?"
Pepe exclaimed, "How is this possible?"
"Why not?"
The elder brother said, "In the past thousands of years, I have lived on the Void Hunter and become a small... reptile under the protection of such a huge creature.
Such humble and humiliating days have passed for so long that many people have forgotten the more distant life.
The glory of the past has forgotten that when our ancestors were still living on the earth, we were the 'spirits of all things', we were the kings of the entire planet, we were the terrifying apes standing at the top of the food chain, and no living thing could compete with us!
"At that time, our ancestors were kings and hegemons on the earth.
Looking around, all life was either our food, our slaves or toys.
There was no such thing as the Void Hunter, who could be compared with us, or even vaguely superior to us. something above.
"When we wandered the sea of stars, fell into despair, and were dying, we were forced to cling to the Void Hunters and barely survive - this was a helpless move and was regarded by countless people as a great shame!
Now, we have recovered and embarked on the journey again.
Why should he be fettered by a mere void hunter on his dazzling rise?
"You know, Pepe, after giving up the Void Hunter, many fleets chose to use a certain cave as their base camp.
They developed extremely fast, leaving us far behind.
“Those people on the fleet still laugh at us as old stubborns who cling to the dregs of thousands of years and don’t know how to change customs and develop new production methods and social forms.
"This also involves the power struggle of the Supreme Operations Council.
The relationships in all aspects are very complicated, and even I can't explain it clearly.
"Now, more than half of the dozen or so fleets that still choose to support Void Hunters are wavering, and are ready to accept technical assistance from other fleets and completely abandon such backward and dangerous vehicles as Void Hunters.
"Our fleet commander is the most stubborn one in the Supreme War Council.
We always feel that we cannot put all our eggs in one basket.
Since most fleets have chosen new development directions, there are a few fleets that still maintain the past There is nothing wrong with a thousand-year tradition.
In this way, in case of any drastic changes, some seeds of hope can be preserved - and the reason why he can be so stubborn is that his father's persistence is also very important.
"However, it is precisely at this time that the Void Hunters in our fleet have touched the dangerous bottom line of 'awakening self-awareness'.
Now there are hundreds of millions of eyes staring at us, waiting to see how we deal with the Void Hunters.
This matter is going to take Not clean and profitable If it is solved, or even if something happens, then not only our fleet, but also the Void Hunters of more than a dozen other fleets, and even the entire way of life of "harmonious coexistence" between humans and Void Hunters, will not be preserved.
Do you understand?
clear!"
Pepe's mind was in a mess.
She understood every word her brother said, but when combined into a sentence, the murderous intention hidden in it made the girl shudder.
She neither could nor wanted to understand.
After all, Pepe is a sensible girl.
She knows that it is useless to get angry at her brother, and she just keeps crying.
"Stop crying."
My brother handed over a tissue and said, "How ugly is it for such a beautiful little girl to cry so hard?"
Peppa pulled the tissue handed to her by her brother, but she cried harder and couldn't stop.
"Don't blame dad for being cruel.
I think he is doing this to protect you."
The elder brother added, "In the past six months, the situation in the Supreme War Council has been very subtle.
The doves have become weaker and the hawks have taken over.
It is said that the newly appointed supreme commander will strengthen the control of hundreds of fleets and is hunting down heretics.
It is an extraordinary period. , have to be careful.”
"Hawk?
Dove?
Heretic?"
Pepe stopped crying and asked with swollen eyes, "What is that?"

"that is……" The elder brother thought for a while and reluctantly explained, "The hawks are the most iron-blooded and toughest soldiers.
They believe that the living space we are colonizing now is far from enough.
Human civilization should continue to expand outwards, expanding a hundred times, a thousand times or even ten thousand times." times of living space until we become the overlord of the entire star sea.
All those who may threaten our lives and civilization should be ruthlessly eliminated.
At least, their threats must be eliminated, completely suppressed, and serve human civilization.
"The doves think that this goal is too grand and far-fetched.
For the time being, we should live in harmony with those intelligent alien races in the sky and slowly develop and grow.
It will happen naturally.
"As for heretics, they are those... those who are controlled by cosmic radiation, alien races in the stars, or are insane for various unknown reasons, betraying the interests of human civilization!"
"Why?"
Pepe's eyes widened, "Does such a guy actually exist?"
"certainly."
The elder brother said with a melancholy expression, "If dad hadn't controlled you in time and asked you to secretly run to Shannuya to tell everything, wouldn't you have become a heretic who was 'controlled by the aliens in the starry sky and betrayed the interests of human civilization'?"
Pepe shuddered deeply and said subconsciously: "I, I am not!"
"It doesn't matter whether you are or not."
The elder brother said, "What's important is whether the Supreme War Council and the Supreme Commander think you are the three most important things for a new official to take office.
I heard that the current Supreme Commander used some disgraceful means when he took office.
He His position is not stable, so it is not surprising that he has been sharpening his sword, trying to scare the monkeys and consolidate his position.
We must not let him find excuses. " "Brother, what on earth are you talking about?
At first it was Shannuya's matter, then it became a matter of the Supreme War Council, and finally it was a matter of the Supreme Commander."
Pepe murmured, "I don't understand, not at all."
"It's best if you don't understand."
The elder brother smiled, "The biggest wish of my elder brother and my father is that you never understand these... bloody, dirty or even evil things, and always remain a carefree little princess.
"Okay, my little princess, have a good sleep.
We will transfer you to the hospital ship tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
Then nothing will happen to you."
As soon as he heard that he was going to separate from Shannuya, Pepe's nerves that had just relaxed became tense again.
But seeing her brother's expression, she knew that nothing she could say would be of any use.
"Brother, I just want to ask you one last question."
The girl whispered.
"Ask."
The brother smiled.
"I remember you told me a long time ago that the reason why you chose to be a 'warrior' was to protect all your relatives from any harm."
Pepe said, "Now, look into my eyes and tell me again - do you still think so?
Still 100%, sincerely and uncompromisingly believing that you are just for 'protection' and not for anything else."
Do you choose to fight because of your purpose?”
