Breathless dark clouds hung over the city of Turin, heavy rain poured down, and the streets were filled with rainwater. The whole city looked gray because of the sudden rainstorm.
Visibility was poor in such weather, but Lin Ao still had to follow Li Si to drive the humanoid weapon to escort the vehicle carrying Deputy Speaker Robert to the Turin Palace.
"Wow! I have never experienced such heavy rain in my life!" Li Si said.
Lin Ao asked him puzzledly: "Aren't you a cosmonaut? Does it rain when you live in a colonial satellite?"
"Sometimes colonial satellites will rain artificial rain. Even if they were born in the universe, humans still feel like they are looking for Mother Earth. But the rain on the earth is too heavy. I am really afraid that the soles of humanoid weapons will slip! Is this also a negative consequence of environmental destruction? "
"That's not true. There have been heavy rains on the earth before, but they don't happen often."
The two of them chatted and reached the place where they could see the Lady's Palace. The building has two colors on the front and back. One side is a dark brick color, while the side facing the square is painted bright white.
When you get to Madame Palace, the royal palace is not far away. Sure enough, a few steps a week, the end of Po River Street was blocked by armored vehicles of the New European Union (NEU), and guarded by two "Partner Cavalry" humanoid weapons. This shows that the New European Union attaches great importance to today's meeting.
"Who are you?" shouted the NEU soldier responsible for blocking the street.
"We are the crew of the Osiris, escorting your Deputy Speaker Robert to the meeting!" Li Si replied.
After waiting for a minute or two, the roadblock was raised, and Deputy Speaker Robert's car entered the square and drove towards the palace. The NEU soldiers said to Li Si: "Thank you, please go back to your ship first."
"The work is done, go back!" Li Si patted the back of Unit 2 with his "lifeguard" hand, and when he agreed, he patted Lin Ao's back with his hand.
The two were about to turn around and leave when they received a communication from the Osiris:
"Li Si, Lin Ao! The sounds of multiple HER warships were found near Mount Viso in the southwest of Turin City. Come back quickly!"
"Got it!" Li Si turned around and saw that the NEU soldiers seemed to have received the news and were strengthening the defense of the blockade, so he led Lin Ao and rushed towards the Osiris parked outside the city.
Deputy Speaker Robert entered the palace. He also learned about the presence of HER troops nearby, but without the Speaker's order, the meeting would still be held. Some members of the palace were trying their best to hide their uneasiness, while others were whispering together, their faces full of fear.
Another deputy speaker reminded everyone: "The meeting is about to start, everyone go to the conference hall!"
The MPs entered the conference hall in silence and took their seats. Seeing that everyone was basically in place, the Speaker of the new EU knocked on the wooden hammer on the table to signal that the meeting had officially begun. The two soldiers guarding the door heard the sound of the wooden hammer, exchanged glances, took out the chains and locked the door of the conference hall...
The HER army approaching Turin was a fleet led by four people including Taglis and William. After crossing Mount Viso, they divided into three groups. Targris's Chimera went west; Talion's Hydra kept going straight; Zheng Jin's Cyclops and William's Medusa went east, which is the direction of Osiris.
The person responsible for guarding Turin is Colonel David of the New EU Mediterranean-Spartan Legion. He seemed very nervous after learning that the HER fleet was divided, which meant that the enemy wanted to surround the city of Turin.
Next to Colonel David, stood a brown-haired man with sharp eyes. He was the ace pilot who helped Osiris escape before—Captain Abraham Ferrari. He said, "Colonel, I have a tactic. Would you like to hear it?"
Captain Ferrari was assigned to him by the commander of the Spartan Legion. Although his rank was lower than his own, Colonel David thought highly of him.
"Speaking!"
Captain Ferrari smoothed his hair with his hand and said: "The enemy has four warships but they are divided into three groups, while we have five. Adding the Osiris, we have six warships. Every two warships go to intercept the enemy. Along the way, I feel like I can repel the enemy!"
Colonel David nodded and said: "Yes, but can you persuade the Osiris to help?"
Ferrari smiled proudly: "I helped them out of danger a few days ago, and they will not refuse me."
"Okay! Just do as you say!"
"Where are the MPs? Aren't they notified to evacuate?" Ferrari asked.
Colonel David said in embarrassment: "I would like to, but the speaker of the parliament is notoriously stubborn. He told me not to disturb their meeting unless he announces the end of the meeting!"
…
Captain Shepard happily accepted NEU Captain Ferrari's request to fight together. In fact, even if Ferrari, who had rescued them before, had not come forward, the Osiris would have actively asked to fight with NEU.
The whole ship entered a state of preparation for war. When Sergeant Anton saw Captain Charlotte still on the ship, he walked over and asked her: "Aren't you going to report back to your unit?"
Charlotte glanced at him and said, "Reporting? My legion has been wiped out long ago."
"But these are all NEU troops?"
"They are not my legion!"
Charlotte turned and walked towards her body. Anton took two steps and held her shoulders and said, "Hey, if you have no place to go, you are welcome to join the Osiris."
Charlotte hit Anton's hand hard, and Anton thought he was going to be scolded. But Charlotte stared at him with red eyes and said in a proud tone: "I am a soldier of the new EU. I will not leave the land and people I love. Thank you for your kindness!"
After saying that, Captain Charlotte shook his red hair and turned away from Anton.
Anton rubbed his hands and watched her get on the green "Partner Cavalry". Old Jack and Corporal Bart came over to tease him: "Boss, I didn't expect you to be so spicy."
Anton clicked his tongue at them: "What are you two talking about? I hope that the Osiris will have more combat power. In a legion of tens of thousands of people, she is the only one left alive..."
Old Jack became alert: "She doesn't want to think..."
Anton was shocked and planned to talk to Charlotte, but he heard the announcement of the Osiris taking off.
"Boss, you should get ready! We will all watch this woman on the battlefield to prevent her from doing stupid things!"
Anton nodded: "Okay, everyone is in your place!"
The Osiris slowly took off, merged with a NEU Spartan Legion battleship, and deployed on the east side of Turin. Although the heavy rain has not stopped, the shadow of the HER battleship can already be vaguely seen with the naked eye.
The Battle of Turin is about to begin.
