Chapter 311: Little Gui Gains Recognition; [ Glamoth's Iron Cavalry ] Descends!
The Reverie Hotel.
The Lobby.
Along with Guinaifen's voice, many of the guests present showed expressions of disbelief!
Looking at the giant screen, no one had expected that Little Gui would jump out at this moment to deliver such a speech!
For a moment, many people were left utterly bewildered!
"Is Little Gui… alright?"
"This background story, she didn't just make it up on the spot, did she?"
"No! I've unlocked Guinaifen's character story, I've read it! Everything she said is true!"
"Why am I suddenly tearing up…"
"Once you indulge in this dream, do you lose the right to choose?"
"According to how it was described in the previous plot, yes…"
"Once you fall into the dream of Order, you definitely won't even realize you're dreaming, right up until the end of your life…"
"Uh, that… I was a bit hot-headed just now! Now I think it's better to think calmly!"
"Yeah, yeah! This matter is more important than I imagined. I need to reconsider!"
…
The Astral Express Crew.
March 7th looked at Little Gui on the screen, unable to help but show a surprised expression.
The original situation was already extremely unfavorable for the Astral Express.
But who would have thought!
At this critical juncture…
Little Gui was actually willing to stand up…
March 7th was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes!
"Sob, sob, sob…"
"I knew it! I didn't follow the wrong streamer…"
"Even though Little Gui usually loves to goof around, she never disappoints at critical moments like this!"
"This 6480 was originally meant to be saved for pulling Robin…"
"Now, I've decided to donate it to her!"
Stelle had a shocked expression on her face.
It seemed March 7th was truly deeply moved this time!
She was really breaking the bank!
Of course, Guinaifen's words had also touched Stelle deeply!
It was just that her pockets were empty, so she could only type in the bullet chat to show her support.
…
"This Galactic Baseballer supports Little Gui!!"
"If you're the Galactic Baseballer, then who am I?"
"I, Gray Peony, express my agreement!"
""The MC's Approval""
"There is no Trailblazer at all, or rather… everyone is a Trailblazer~"
…
Outside Penacony.
A spacecraft shimmered like a star, appearing and disappearing in the sea of stars.
Inside the cabin, Firefly was watching the live stream of the plot.
Seeing her own remarks in the story, she couldn't help but let out a soft "Ah."
Perhaps only she herself understood how heavy the phrase "living for oneself" truly was.
The words she spoke were not only as Firefly, but also as a Iron Cavalry of Glamoth.
The experiences of both had jointly shaped who she was today.
And Guinaifen's heartfelt words that followed… also resonated with Firefly.
Both of them had crawled out of the abyss to live their own brand-new lives.
Just as Firefly was wondering if she should also donate some money to show her support, Kafka, who was beside her, tapped lightly on the screen!
She directly sent the highest-tier donation!
Meeting Firefly's gaze, Kafka smiled faintly.
"Just consider it as our, the Stellaron Hunters', recognition of her~"
"Reaching the end by one's own will."
"If it's just a dream, then this life would be far too boring."
…
In the livestream room.
Guinaifen had originally thought she would receive a lot of criticism and accusations.
To her surprise, what followed was a deluge of various gifts and donations!
[ Galaxy Ranger Old Jing gifted Streamer Little Gui [Galaxy Star]… ]
[ Firefly-Flavored Oak Cake gifted Streamer Little Gui [Cosmic Light]… ]
[ Fireworks in March Heading to the Xianzhou gifted Streamer Little Gui [Galaxy Star]… ]
[ Lady in a Suit gifted Streamer Little Gui [Cosmic Light]… ]
Guinaifen was left feeling a bit lightheaded.
However, the even more shocking part was yet to come!
[ Ding-dong! The creator you follow, [Feathered Spirit], has uploaded a new video. Come and check it out~ ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail Animated Short: Embers of Glamoth ]
…
"Holy crap?!"
"Little Gui actually summoned Feathered Spirit directly?!"
"Embers of Glamoth? Could it be related to Firefly's past?!"
"Great, great, great! Just now I was wondering why Firefly would say she lives for herself. It must be closely related to her past!"
"Releasing a video at this time, Feathered Spirit must have some deep meaning behind it, right?"
"Is the secret of the Glamoth Iron Cavalry finally going to see the light of day?"
"Watch it, quick! I'm dying to know!"
…
Naturally, Guinaifen didn't hesitate for a second.
She clicked on the link immediately.
Based on experience, she first looked at the description below the video.
[ Article 22 of Glamoth's military regulations: Knights must give all they have to Her Majesty, the Queen. Including their lives. ]
There was only this short piece of information.
She continued to look at the thumbnail.
Guinaifen instantly froze!
The protagonist of the video thumbnail was indeed Firefly, no doubt about it.
But this Firefly was completely different from the Firefly in her memory!
The background was a hazy, dark gray.
Firefly's figure was shrouded in the gloom.
Her eyes were wide open, and tears streamed down her face, tracing down her cheeks.
"This sorrowful look seems somewhat familiar…?"
"Is it when she was pierced through the chest by Death… no, Something Unto Death?!"
"Back then, I thought it was just sudden pain and her regret for not being able to continue the journey…"
"But the subsequent plot proved that those two weren't the case!"
"Could it be… the real answer is in this video?!"
Before even opening the video, Guinaifen felt a premonition of dread!
This video was very likely to contain emotional damage!
Calm down, calm down!
These are all things of the past…
Guinaifen prepared herself mentally to avoid losing her composure like she did when Firefly got stabbed in the main story last time.
Then, taking a deep breath, she clicked on the video.
…
"Command, Firefly Squad 4 has spotted the Swarm Mother!"
"Requesting backup!"
"Advance! Advance!"
"Repeat! Requesting backup…"
"Firefly Squad 2 has lost signal."
"We've been ambushed in the rift zone."
The video had barely started when a flurry of tense battlefield reports sounded!
It instantly gripped the emotions of all the players watching!
If one listened closely, tired panting could be heard mixed in the background!
An exhausted, overworked face appeared on the screen, covered in sweat.
The girl… was none other than Firefly!
But what period of time was this… and what on earth had happened?
To actually make Firefly show such an utterly exhausted expression!!
The girl's face was gradually replaced by a mecha.
She had already activated SAM.
As the camera zoomed out, the environment she was in gradually revealed itself to everyone—
Black shadows constantly flashed past in the background, interspersed with continuous barrages of light!
"Boom!!"
Violent explosions occurred in the sky from time to time!
"Bzzzz…"
The sound of the Swarm's wings buzzing rang in the ears.
And beneath SAM's feet… was actually a mountain of corpses!!
Severed limbs, insect antennae…
These corpses… all belonged to the Swarm!
And the shadows constantly darting around in the background were also the Swarm!
…
"???"
"What's going on?!"
"A swarm that blots out the sky…"
"Where the hell are we? Is this the scene of the Swarm Disaster?"
"Sweat all over her face, exhausted eyes, piles of corpses… Just how long has Firefly been fighting continuously?"
"Oh my god! When did this happen?!"
