When the Galaxy Wept
After a rest, Malcolm went to Yorick’s room by himself. Other officers went to the banquet hall together. When they walked to the hall gate, Malcolm led Yorick to another room at the end of the hallway. “Marshal, Patrick Lewis is waiting for you in the room.” Yorick nodded. The door slowly opened. There were some fine dishes on the table. A tall, strong man was sitting quietly behind the table. He stared at Yorick Gabe with his dark eyes. Although he had seen the image of Patrick Lewis, he still complemented Patrick’s handsome face and special disposition when he saw the famous marshal, who made the machine men surrender, in person. Their trip to these planets seemed spontaneous, but it was likely that someone had arranged it. However, they chose one by one among Malcolm’s options randomly, so it was impossible to fake the situation. Yorick now believed that all the species were equal and peaceful in Galaxy Eternity, including the arrogant machine men, and the Galaxy seemed to be prosperous. He felt happy, but at the same time, he was a little upset. He had never succeeded in destroying the machine men in his whole life, but Patrick Lewis managed to bring peace to the species. Certainly, he was still very happy about it. As the descendant of the Gabe family, he abided by the honor and oath of his family and only fought for the resurrection of humans. Therefore, he respected and was curious about Patrick Lewis. Patrick’s face was as calm as water. He stood up and said in a sonorous voice, “Marshal Gabe, welcome.” Yorick Gabe walked a few steps forward, and he saw that the detector of machine men on his wrist was glittering. The light could only be seen in his angle, which was reflected in his eyes. Virtual humans developed this technology in recent years. In this way, even if the machine men simulating humans didn’t release their energy, the detector could still locate the energy. But Evan Silas and Kahlil Silas had no idea about this instrument. This was the reason why this man dared to meet him alone. Yorick looked at this handsome man in front of him, the human hero who suffered a lot from the machine men’s torture and almost lost his wife and child. The man who brought peace and equality to all the species. Yorick suddenly pulled out a laser sword, which was disguised as a belt and almost a meter long.“Evan Silas? Kahlil Silas?” He shook his head, “No, you’re not like them.” Patrick raised his eyebrow, and he looked at Yorick sharply. Yorick suddenly understood and laughed, “So you are the mysterious machine marshal, Kenneth Silas?” Out of Yorick’s expectations, Patrick didn’t panic when Yorick found out his identity. Instead, he laughed. “You’re very discerning.” Yorick looked at him silently. He suddenly understood why the machine men gave up on invading the species and coexisting with others. The machine men still held the command of the army of the Alliance. “It’s a pity,” Yorick’s laser sword suddenly glowed, “That I hate machine men.” Patrick’s expression didn’t even change. His black figure was as fast as the wind, and he suddenly moved to the other side of the round table and dodged Yorick’s sword! “Let go!” Patrick’s body seemed to be surrounded by blue light, and a blue light wave went straight to Yorick. Yorick smiled coldly, and his body suddenly became virtual. He disappeared in front of Patrick. The laser sword fell to the ground and was torn into pieces by the light wave. The gate behind him was cut through, and the walls around them kept falling. However, the two people both knew that no one could run away from this battle and only the braver one could win. The room was filled with blue light. Patrick’s face was as dark as iron, and his eyes were red, which showed his desire to kill Yorick. A figure flickered outside his energy field and bumped his energy wall repeatedly. No one said anything. New wounds showed up on Patrick’s shoulder, and blood-soaked his black uniform. Yorick’s figure was still virtual in the air, but the smell of blood was spread in the energy field. “Surrender.” Yorick’s voice seemed to come from a space far away, “Both of us will be hurt if we keep fighting. My warships have surrounded Planet Hope. If you insist on resisting us, I will blow up the whole planet and kill all the machine men!” He wasn’t threatening Patrick. Although he was emotional when they came back, he still ordered every warship to be prepared for the attack since he was always alert after many years of war. He only needed to touch his wristwatch to send the signal, and his warships would start to bombard the whole planet. However, Patrick wasn’t frightened at all, and his energy field became stronger. He said coldly, “I don’t care as long as you virtual humans can die with us.” Yorick said sarcastically, “You think you can take us down with your soldiers and your technology?” Patrick smiled, “I have already taken you down.” Yorick was surprised. He thought back and realized that their trip to the planets was Patrick’s trap. Although they were virtual humans, they still had human bodies. They didn’t take precautions since Malcolm and his people were humans. When did Patrick put his poison in? The water in the Milky Way Waterfall? The lunch on Planet Peace? Yorick suddenly felt bitterly disappointed. He knew that the people ordered by Patrick must have taken down his men. He shouted angrily.” Despicable! I can’t believe those humans help you, a machine man!” Patrick smiled lightly, “They don’t know that I’m a machine man, but they know you are half-machine men who come here with unknown purposes.” Yorick was so angry that his moves were slowed down, and Patrick’s energy field got close to him. He moaned and spat out some blood. The sun was fierce at noon. Emerald let the babysitter take care of the child, and she walked out of the room after dressing up. But she was stopped by several mercenaries.“My lady Marshal told us to protect you.”
