"Back off, Alu, back off, hahahaha..." Hans shook Alu's shoulders desperately, his face flushed with excitement, and finally kissed Alu's head randomly twice, "We won the battle, we will fight Won!"
Unexpectedly, Aru looked embarrassed and hurriedly held him down. His voice sounded like he was about to cry: "Keep it down, keep it down, please!"
"Shut up!" Andrea stared at Hans, wanting to strangle this idiot to death.
"Why, Angsa's fleet surrendered, we won, this is a great victory for mankind, this is..." At this point, Hans noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere in the conference room, as if...no one except him People cheered.
The holographic real-time situation map above the conference table shows that the combined fleets of the Nordrassil Council and the Pantheon have just suffered heavy losses and are quickly escaping from the frontal battlefield. The coalition of thirty-one civilizations supporting Angsa within the alliance has long been destroyed. Separated and trapped in dozens of encirclements, surrender is a matter of time. Anyone who can understand a little bit of the situation map knows that the overall situation has been decided and there is no possibility of Prince Ang Sa coming back.
However, sitting around the conference table, more than a dozen senior officers belonging to the expeditionary fleet watched the combat process from beginning to end, especially the several battles in which humans participated. No one could laugh at this moment.
It's so tragic.
A pampered actor can only see that the Mass side won the war, but they know very well how much the human expeditionary force paid for this result.
Many people stared at the situation map with red eyes. Some people breathed a long sigh of relief, as if they were exhausted. Others silently took off their military caps and lowered their heads, letting sweat flow down their temples.
At this time, the captain of the Nautilus, Zoe Putnam Lee, the highest-ranking military officer present, looked down at the bracelet, stood up and walked out of the conference room.
Andrea gave Hans a warning look and quickly chased after him.
In the passage, a communications officer was reporting to Zoe in a low voice. Because the voice was too low, she could not hear the content clearly. She could only see that Zoe's expression became more solemn, even sad.
After a moment, Zoe nodded, turned around, walked outside the rest cabin not far away, and knocked lightly on the door.
Andrea knew Cain was in that room, and when Zoe entered, she walked past the door pretending to be nonchalant and found the hatch open.
The two people in the room saw her, but had no reaction. She simply returned to the door and "eavesdropped" openly.
“General,” Zoe took a deep breath, “So far, our army has lost a total of 41 battleship battle groups, 153 assault and independent combat formations, and a total of 46,500 casualties. Two people..."
Hearing this, Cain was obviously stunned for a moment, clenching his fist with his right hand, and the lightweight metal prosthetic limb made a heart-breaking crunching sound.
"In addition, I just received news that when the Vulcan support force was blocked two hours ago, the USS Base, where General Stigart was in charge of commanding the operation, was hit by a psychic weapon. Fifteen minutes later, Disintegrated, General Stigart... died."
Cain turned away, lowered his head and lit a cigarette.
"continue."
"After the 'Base' was hit, General Li Sen personally led the 301 mixed battleship group to rush to the rescue. Unfortunately, he was ambushed. The main engine of the 'Cassowary' mothership was damaged and lost its ability to move. The ship's personnel were attacked again when they were evacuating. , General Li Sen was seriously injured and has not yet woken up. The situation... is not very optimistic."
There was dead silence in the room.
Andrea, who was standing at the door, was dumbfounded. Among the three generals, except Bolsh, one was dead and the other was injured. This battle turned out to be so tragic.
Forty-one battleship battle groups were wiped out, one hundred and fifty-three combat formations never returned, and the Outland Army's wealth was almost wiped out...
After a long time, Cain put out his fourth cigarette with his fingers and asked softly: "What's going on with the beheading operation?"
"The Fourth Assault Group on the mission has returned safely."
"Okay...go and do your work."
"yes."
After Zoe left, Andrea walked into the room and looked at Cain's back. She wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it.
The price that mankind has paid for this war cannot be measured in numbers, but the value of winning the war is also extremely huge. She can already foresee the bright future of mankind, but at this moment, she is suddenly not sure about the two. Which one is more important? Are those tragic sacrifices worth it?
Soon, Cain turned around and walked towards the door, as if saying to himself: "I am really not suitable for fighting."
"Uh, Cain," Andrea followed in small steps, "Where to now?"
"Pick up Li Liang."
————
after an hour.
In the corner of the transit hall on the dock-type floating island where the Nautilus docked, Andrea stared in the direction of the door and unconsciously stepped left and right, hoping to see Li Liang's figure for the first time.
At this time, the hall was overcrowded, and people often shouted loudly. I don’t know which civilization they came from or what language they spoke, but they always attracted people to stop and watch.
It wasn't until someone yelled in Titan Standard that she understood through the translator that they were relaying the latest battle situation in the media, but the news was obviously delayed a lot, and she didn't know that the two princes of Terranza had already decided. Win or lose.
After waiting for a long time, Li Liang still hadn't appeared, so Andrea looked back.
I saw Cain sitting on the ground against the wall, with a lazy look on his face, and a child Li sitting on his lap. The little guy was so exhausted on the Nautilus during this period that he insisted on coming to pick up his "godfather". As a result, he was now holding his hands With a small face, he kept "nodding" sleepily.
Also following were Hans and Aru, who were stretching their necks and looking toward the entrance of the hall. At this time, Hans already knew how stupid he was for cheering in front of the officers, and his excitement subsided a little. A little, but there is still an unconcealable passion in his eyes.
Looking back, Andrea regretted bringing these two fools close to Cain, and now Cain has a good relationship with them, and he can't get rid of them even if he wants to.
When she was irritated, she suddenly felt someone tapping her shoulder. When she turned around, she saw that it was the Dasha among the two fools.
"Ahem, Andy," Hans looked embarrassed and lowered his voice, "When will Father God arrive?"
Andrea said impatiently: "I don't know, what do you want to do?"
"Then, let me go to the bathroom first."
"..." Andrea took a deep breath, resisting the urge to beat him to death, and twitched the corners of her mouth, "Yeah."
"I'll go back quickly."
Hans said nothing and hurriedly ran to the other side of the hall. The employees of the KGB security company responsible for the safety of the group did not know why and sent a Blue Star human magician to follow him.
The two walked through the crowd one after another and entered the area where each civilization's "office" is located.
When they got off the Nautilus, the group first went to the human "office". There was no bathroom in that small room. When they came out, Hans noticed that there was a public toilet opposite, which came in handy at this moment.
When different life forms gather in one place, excretion is a big problem, especially for carbon-based life forms. Fortunately, the Nangre Terseiyad Agent Resolution Court took this into consideration and set up different specifications and shapes. bathroom.
Before entering the bathroom that he had chosen in advance, Hans carefully read the sign on the door. The pattern on it indicated the applicable body size range and excretion method. Humans could indeed use it.
Feeling relieved, Hans opened the door and walked in. He walked around a screen wall and suddenly saw a human standing next to the urinal. It turned out to be...
"Child Li?"
He was confused and looked back subconsciously, only to see the KKK magician following him. The Blue Star man also looked confused.
Turning back, Hans wondered: "Aren't you asleep? Why are you here?"
"Hey," Li said with his little face raised and an innocent smile, "I want to pee."
"Who came with you?" Hans knelt down and said seriously, "It's not safe here, how could you mess up..." At this point, he felt that the child Li in front of him was different from what he remembered. What exactly was different? I can’t tell.
At this time, a man walked out of the cubicle and said coldly: "I came with her."
Hans looked up and stood up quickly: "General Cain."
Cain said expressionlessly: "Have you finished urinating?"
"Uh, not yet..."
"Urine."
"Okay," Hans stood on the urinal and jumped down again after a moment, "I'll go to the cubicle."
However, when he "cautiously" finished solving the problem, one big boy and one small boy were still standing there, staring straight at him.
"Uh...you guys..."
Li said in a sweet voice, "Uncle Hans, I haven't peed yet."
"Oh, I'm sorry," Hans suddenly sweated on his forehead, turned around and walked out. When he reached the door, he asked the magician next to him, "Why do you think they arrived before us? We went the wrong way?"
Blue Star Magician thought for a while and nodded: "It's possible."
When the voices of the two people talking disappeared at the door, the innocence in Child Li's eyes gradually disappeared, the corners of his mouth raised, and he said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Hans, you look like a retard at this time."
"Yes," "Cain" lowered his gaze, his body expanded rapidly, and finally turned into the appearance of Hans, speaking indifferently, "At this time, I was stupid and arrogant, and I didn't even understand what war was until three months later. That day..."
"Come on, Alu told me that you peed your pants that day because you were so scared. You could only cry. You were more like a retard." Child Li snorted disdainfully.
"Each of us experienced the most desperate moment that day... What else could we do but cry?"
"Yes, despair and fear. In fact, I understand you very much, Mr. Retarded."
"..." Hans shook his head, "I have no interest in quarreling with you, Seventh Princess. Facts have proved that Dododisar's guess is correct. The law of cause and effect of the sacred timeline is very stable, otherwise we would not be able to meet here. 'I'."
"Has Teemo replied?"
"No."
"They won't be discovered by Harlan Potter, right?"
"I said, the law of cause and effect of the sacred timeline is very stable. Since what happened three months later has not changed, then they will not be discovered by Harlan Potter."
"Dodorisal has already made a mistake once. That brainy flower made us lose track of Li Liang's beacon, causing us to keep spinning in this vortex."
"You'd better show some respect to Mr. Desal."
"Hmph," Child Li curled his lips and shouted into the cubicle, "Nini, let's go."
There was no response from the cubicle.
Hans became nervous instantly and slowly raised his right hand, the double ring flashing slightly: "Nighold?"
"Nini?" Child Li raised his eyebrows, "If you don't come out, I'll beat you up."
The next moment, a slow and low dragon language sounded: "Li Liang is nearby, I must be careful enough to avoid being discovered by him."
"Li Liang? Oh, Li Liang at this time, he came out from the Seat of Spiritual Gold. When?"
"Just when you two idiots were arguing."
"Huh?" Child Li rolled up his sleeves, "Do you deserve a beating?"
————
When he returned to Andrea, Hans discovered that Cain and Child Li had arrived earlier than him. He and the Blue Star Warlock looked at each other, and the two finally confirmed that they had taken the wrong road and had taken a detour. A big circle.
But it didn't delay things. They waited for a few more minutes before Li Liang's figure appeared at the door of the hall.
