"Captain, Lieutenant Jin is back safely!"
Hearing the words of the signal soldier, the red knight's heart finally fell to the ground. He breathed a sigh of relief and lamented that this anticlimactic battle finally resulted in no casualties. He glared angrily at Zhuge Daozi, who was sitting in the captain's seat and playing with a paper fan. Although this glare was not seen by others because he was wearing sunglasses, Zhuge Daozi actually noticed it.
"What's wrong?" Zhuge Daozi asked.
"This battle is really anticlimactic." The red knight was dissatisfied.
Zhuge Daozi unfolded his fan and said, "Yes, it's because of my poor command."
"You'll be fine if you admit it?!"
"I will review it in the report, but, Vlad, you have to look at the bright side. I destroyed the North American Rescue Alliance's underground base, attacked their apparent base camp in Seattle, and dealt a heavy blow to their power. Your team suffered no losses, and it also fulfilled your wish to meet that boy.”
"Since you know that the North American Rescue and Rescue Base is under the lake, why do you still attack Seattle?"
"Can you blame me? Who let the cowards from the North American Rescue Alliance use Seattle as a cover? If I just throw a few missiles into the lake, other forces will just think that I have lost my mind, so I can only attack Only in the urban area will they know that I attacked the North American Rescue and Rescue Base. Secondly, I also trained new recruits in this way. Look at the New Muscovite Principality (TPM) and the Osiris sending so many aircraft to attack our New recruits, but not one of the new recruits was destroyed.”
The Red Knight waved his hand and retorted: "It just so happens that the enemy doesn't have any aircraft that can fly! Letting the new recruits attack the city is not training!"
Zhuge Daozi put away his fan and patted his head: "Well... you are right, this is my fault, I accept the criticism, so I plan to assign a new soldier to you for training, and let you personally train him into a qualified empire Soldier. By the way, there is a man named Alibaba who was recruited by Boris, that’s him.”
"You...ok, I understand."
The Red Knight turned and left the bridge. Sergeant Boris, who was waiting for him outside the door, stepped forward and asked, "Is Lieutenant Jin okay?"
The red knight turned back and glanced in the direction of the bridge: "It's okay... but I suspect that our captain accepted a bribe from someone. In this battle, he killed the North American Rescue Alliance, but he did not attack the Osiris with all his strength. Launching an attack, I guess he let the Osiris go on purpose!"
Boris was shocked: "Bribery, who bribed it!?"
The red knight blocked his mouth and told him to speak louder, and then said: "I don't know, but I am so suspicious. Boris, you have to help me investigate privately..."
…
Edward landed in downtown Seattle with dignity and recovered his "howling dog". It was his "roaring dog" that forced Jin Sangzhu back and rescued Natasha. He originally wanted to show off his life-saving grace in front of the fierce-eyed princess, but now Natasha was lying on the heavy-backed prince crying, and Edward knew that this was not a good time no matter how neurotic he was.
The doctor next to Prince Pump hurriedly bandaged his wound, and Pump stood up by himself. Natasha went to help him distressedly, but Pump waved her hand: "It's okay. I made preparations for being injured or even sacrificed before going out. Prepare!"
"Hurray for our heroes!!"
Led by the onlookers, other citizens also cheered. Prince Pump was very weak, but he still smiled and waved to everyone.
"Why are you cheering for these outsiders?! If the Osiris hadn't come here, how could HER's invading army pursue and attack our city? They had never come before! And why did the TPM army appear in North America? What on earth do you have? What purpose?!”
Hearing such questions, some citizens who were easily swayed became passive and began to talk privately, pointing fingers at Pump and Natasha. Natasha glared at those ungrateful people angrily, and wanted to curse, but Prince Pump said, "It doesn't matter, let them talk, I have done what I should do."
Natasha looked at her brother with some surprise. In her impression, Pump had always been Queen Anna's follower and never seemed to have any independent opinions. But now she saw Pump's mature side.
"Are you taking me back to Moscow?" Natasha asked.
"Would you like to go back?"
Seeing Natasha lowering her head and shaking her head, the pump chief sighed: "Now that you have saved my life, I will let you go!"
"Really!? But what will you tell your sister later?"
"Sigh... I have to find a good reason. Maybe my injuries are a good excuse. But you also know the queen's temper. Even if you escape me, you may not be able to escape her!"
Several TPM soldiers carried a stretcher and helped Pump up. Pump shouted to Natasha: "My sister! Go back to the Osiris first. We will contact you later!"
The TPM soldiers carried the stretcher and left through the crowd. Natasha looked at their backs and sighed, then looked at the Osiris hovering in the air. She doesn't have to worry about being captured and taken back to Moscow, but where should she go in the future?
"Dmitry, what should I do..."
Natasha said to herself.
…
"HER's Wuhou class retreated!"
"Really? You really?"
Captain Shepard couldn't believe it and repeatedly confirmed with Jessica.
"That's right, they are turning around and leaving Washington State! In my opinion, they certainly don't dare to fight against us and TPM at the same time!"
Shepard didn't think so. He felt that the Wuhou class could rush in for a decisive battle, and the Osiris might not be able to escape unscathed. But he didn't know why the enemy commander gave up this opportunity. Maybe it was to preserve his strength?
He scratched his beard and decided not to think about it for now. He asked Jessica: "Have you found Natasha? We must first hand her over to TPM's Pump Prince..."
"Well, Prince Pump's men said forget it and let us take care of Princess Natasha. They will pay us some Natasha's living expenses later."
"Huh?? What's going on? You were so tough to let us make friends before."
"I don't know, maybe Natasha convinced Prince Pump. After all, they are brother and sister."
Shepard let out a long sigh of relief and lay limply on his command bed. Now he doesn't have to get involved in the chaotic family affairs of the TPM royal family, but how to arrange Natasha is another problem. Is it really necessary for a princess of a country to be a soldier on this ship in the future?
Just as Shepard was thinking about it, Kobe Jordan, the leader of the North American Rescue Federation, came in with a face full of joy, as if the attack on Seattle just now had not happened. He couldn't hide his joy and said: "HER's battleship has retreated? It's great! Originally, I was angry that my troops didn't arrive in time! Now the enemy has escaped, and the disaster in Seattle is controllable. It's almost nothing. Civilian casualties, that’s great!”
Shepard found it a bit funny, and escaping by chance was not a "great thing" in his opinion. But he did not show it and asked Jordan: "There is no guarantee that the enemy will come again. Do you have any countermeasures?"
"I will concentrate my forces to protect Seattle, and at the same time step up the development of new humanoid weapons in Portland!"
"Is your strength enough? The Osiris has nowhere to go now. If your alliance is willing to pay..."
Shepard started doing business. Now the crew members want to return to the universe, but for the time being they can't find a port where the warship can take off. It's better to stay and serve as a mercenary for the North American Rescue Alliance, and earn a huge amount of modification fees for going to the universe in the future. This can be said to kill two birds with one stone, not only earning military expenses, but also solving the temporary problem of where to go.
Kobe smiled and said, "I originally thought so, but there are already richer people who want to entertain you, Major General."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"It's the Moore Chamber of Commerce. We have always had a liaison officer from the Moore Chamber of Commerce within the alliance. He just wanted to meet with you to talk about sending the Osiris to the universe."
"What? Really?!"
Shepard sat up suddenly, and the movement was so harmful that he coughed several times.
"Hurry, Jessica, please invite people from the Moore Chamber of Commerce to come in and give details!"
