Max and the Mechanical Army Chapter 146

Many years ago, when his family used his mother, then the principal of Ulan College, to force Ethan back to the garrison of Watto on the grounds that "there would be trouble in the Silver Fortress", Ethan felt that they were all hateful and unreasonable.

He didn't understand why he couldn't just turn around and leave like the Ten Silver Guards, and use actions to seek an explanation for their general. He didn't understand why he couldn't insist on finding out the truth, and he didn't understand why he had to flee from the battlefield like a coward. He couldn't be like his companions and continue to hold on to their position and honor after General Lin left.

Ethan sometimes felt that they didn't treat him as a human being. He was already in his forties, but he couldn't even eat, drink, defecate or urinate on his own. It seemed that as long as he learned the two skills of "sitting down" and "shaking hands", he could live a good life. However, he had no way to resist, because he knew very well that if he left the family, he, an honorary graduate of Wulan College, would be nothing. Even the fact that he had the honor of standing beside General Lin was given by the family.

There are many people like Watto, who all look perfect, have received the most elite education, are humble and polite to others, and are elegant. They have the boundless interstellar space and billions of citizens in their hearts. Every day they cheer hundreds of times in their hearts, then drink their milk with their heads down, and go to work in an orderly manner, feeling depressed.

The pain of division tormented Ethan for many years, until the Silver Fortress was attacked and Watto fell. Marshal Wolf personally commanded the retreat. Because of his connections, Ethan was transferred to the safest place - serving as a guard for Marshal Wolf. He gradually became familiar with the commander-in-chief of the Alliance. Occasionally, when he heard the old marshal talk about the past and future of the Alliance, a tsunami would arise in his heart.
