With a total length of 400 meters, the Osiris is currently the second largest warship among all forces, second only to the flagship "Red Beard" of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I of the Universe.
Anyone who takes a close look at this ship that combines technology and beauty for the first time will be sincerely impressed. Sima Qian, a female reporter from Global News Network, is also unavoidable.
"It's so, so grand."
As we get closer, we can feel the charm of the Osiris even more.
"Captain, the Osiris is so big, why don't you worry about being attacked if it's parked in the port of Trabzon?"
Shepard looked at the sea-colored cloth covering the hull of the ship. This disguise was indeed unsatisfactory. The satellite that most deceives HER is, unfortunately, there is no shipyard nearby that can accommodate the Osiris.
"This is a problem when the ship is big, but in the universe the size is not so obvious."
Anton pulled Captain Shepard aside: "Captain, do you really want this reporter on board? It's not appropriate in terms of confidentiality, right?"
"I led the Osiris to independence just to convey to the people of the universe my belief in not surrendering to HRE's atrocities. Is there anyone willing to report that we are not good? Moreover, there may be people who will sponsor us."
Seeing that Anton was still worried, Shepard announced to the reporters: "This is my adjutant Anton Gagarin, a former sergeant of the Covenant. His permission is required for the content of your interview." Shepard Looking at Anton, Anton nodded, that was all he could do.
"I heard that the Osiris has a special humanoid weapon. Can you show us it?"
"Where did you hear that?"
Sima Qian shrugged: "I am a reporter, and I have informants within the new EU."
Anton scratched his head. Judging from the actions of the New European Union to seize Unit 2, the information about Unit 2 on the Osiris must have been leaked. If the New European Union knows about it, then most other forces also know about it. There is no point in concealing the existence of Unit 2, but it is not appropriate to openly expose Unit 2 to the public...
He looked at Lin Ao and left the choice to the pilot of Unit 2.
Lin Ao didn't know what to do, but seeing that Shepard didn't seem to object, he nodded in agreement.
Sima Qian and his party were able to enter the hangar, and when they saw Unit 2, the photographer Herodotus couldn't help but say:
"It really looks like a devil with horns..."
"Yes, especially from this angle, the head of Unit 2 looks like a skeleton." Assistant Thucydides agreed.
"Um?"
This was the first time Lin Ao heard someone say this. Now when he looked up again, he felt that the head of Unit 2 looked like a skeleton with two curved horns.
"Have you ever played with a battle axe? This one is very similar to the Chosen of Chaos Gods in it!"
Herodotus thought he would find a comrade at this time, but no one paid him any attention.
"Why is it designed like this?"
"Miss Sima, I don't know either. Our Osiris just took in this humanoid weapon and its pilot."
"You should know the maker, right?"
"It's the Moore Chamber of Commerce. Maybe you can get off the boat and interview them."
Sima Qian smiled at Anton: "Our 'Global' News Network also has other reporters outside. We can let them come to interview the Moore Chamber of Commerce."
"Well...it's up to you..."
Sima Qian turned around and handed the microphone to Lin Ao's chest.
"You are the driver of this machine, right? What is your name? Does this machine have a name?"
"Um...my name is Lin Ao, and the name of this machine is...'Chongda', but I usually call it No. 2 machine."
"So are you a soldier on the Osiris?"
"I'm not."
"no?"
"Ahem, because Lin Ao was hunted by HER, our Osiris took him in. So although he is a crew member, he is not a soldier."
"Oh...did you stay on the Osiris voluntarily?" Another meaning of this sentence is: "Did the Osiris force you to stay?"
Naturally, Lin Ao didn't hear the deeper meaning: "It was the captain who asked me to stay..."
"Then have you ever shot anyone?"
"Forehead…"
Anton grabbed the microphone: "This is the end of the interview!"
Sima Qian put her hands on her hips: I remembered Anton Gagarin, the former Warrant Officer of the Star Alliance, known as the 'White Eagle'. During an interview, he beat a reporter and was imprisoned by the Star Alliance for 2 weeks, and was demoted to a sergeant. Mr. Former Warrant Officer, is this the reason why you followed the Osiris and broke away from the Covenant? "
"D-That was the reason at that time! That reporter insulted my sacrificed comrades. I followed the captain to fight against HER!"
Sima Qian snorted and followed Jessica Communications Soldier to her room without looking back.
Anton shook his head: "Lin Ao, be careful of these reporters. Many people are eyeing you now. If they know that you are a rookie and even hesitate to kill, they will kill you without hesitation!"
…
In the steam-filled shower room, Lin Ao was thinking about what Sima Qian and Anton had just said. At first, I shed tears because of the person who killed HER. Last night he destroyed three humanoid weapons, and the pilots of the three machines were probably dead, but now he doesn't feel anything at all. It has only been a few days and I have become so numb...
After he took a shower, he was about to lie down on the bed, but he heard someone knocking on the door.
"It's me, can you let me in?"
The person outside the door turned out to be Sima Qian. Lin Ao didn't know whether to open the door for her. What if she came to interview him?
"Don't worry, it's just me. I didn't bring anything with me for interviews, including a voice recorder!"
Lin Ao opened the door and saw Sima Qian changing from her suit to wearing a T-shirt and jeans.
"Let me in, I'd like to know about the accommodations for the crew of the Osiris."
"You...why don't you go find someone else?"
"Because I think you are a gentle person."
Lin Ao was a little shy after being praised and let Sima Qian into his dormitory.
"Oh...although the area is not big, it has everything you need. Can I sit on the bed?"
Lin Ao nodded and agreed for her to sit down. Sima Qian patted the seat next to her and motioned for Lin Ao to sit down too.
"How are you doing on the Osiris?"
"Fortunately, you can take a shower here, there are soft beds, and the food in the cafeteria is also delicious. Fiona...my sister also gives me extra meals every time. That's..."
"Just what?"
"I have to participate in training every day. The driving training is okay, but the physical training is too torture..."
"I see that you are quite thin, but you are so handsome and have developed muscles, you will definitely be popular with girls!"
Lin Ao blushed: "I never thought about such a thing!"
"Haha, I'm kidding you. You are so innocent. It's hard to imagine that a child like you would become a humanoid weapon pilot."
Seeing Lin Ao lowering his head and remaining silent, Sima Qian touched his head and said, "If you have anything on your mind, you can talk to my sister at any time. Although my sister is a reporter, she also understands the ways of the world and will keep it a secret for you."
"Um…"
"That's good. I thought you were a withdrawn child. It seems that I was worried in vain."
Sima Qian stood up to leave.
"Eh? Are you leaving now?"
"What, you want your sister to spend more time with you?"
"No, no."
"Haha, I just moved in and I still have some things to pack. See you later!"
"See you…"
Sima Qian went out, leaving Lin Ao sitting alone in the room.
…
"I'm really embarrassed about myself, Colonel Zhuge."
"Don't worry about it, Vlad. The Osiris has the strength of at least two humanoid weapon formations. You only brought that few people to grab the second machine. You have done your best."
"I caught up with the Osiris twice, but couldn't fight against the No. 2 machine. It's a pity..."
Zhuge Daozi handed a document to the red knight.
"You take a look at this first."
"This is…"
The Red Knight opened the seal of the document, and what was written inside was the information that the new European Union would launch a full-scale counterattack the day after tomorrow.
"Is this information reliable, Colonel?"
"We caught a spy from the new European Union. He refused to speak up even after being tortured in various ways. Finally, we found the spy's family and blackmailed him before he was willing to reveal the information. It should be reliable and he also passed the polygraph test."
"Will the army of the new EU attack the Odessa area, and the navy will march from Istanbul to the Crimean Peninsula... How did General Karl arrange it?"
General Karl is the commander-in-chief of HER's European battlefield. When he mentioned him, Zhuge Daozi shook his fan.
"Brigadier General Karl arranged for my 'Martial Lord' class and you, the Red Knight, to stay on the Crimean Peninsula. Obviously he was afraid that I would take away his credit."
"I thought he would fawn over you. After all, you are the emperor's nephew."
"The old men at the top thought I had become a school officer through the back door, and they were worried that I might one day become a general and take over someone else's official title."
"That's really a pity. The empire's great cause is far from successful, and they are just trying to fight for power and profit."
Zhuge Daozi stood up and patted the red knight on the shoulder.
"We still have many opportunities. As long as we wait for the opportunity, our time will come. When the time comes, I will be indispensable for your help!"
"Yes!" The red knight saluted Zhuge Daozi and watched Zhuge Daozi arrive at the captain's room. He took off his sunglasses, revealing his sharp eyes like an eagle...
