In the HER "Wuhou-class" battleship hovering over Mexico City, Colonel Zhuge Daozi was looking in the mirror and arranging his appearance in the magnificent captain's room that he decorated. He felt that he was almost done, so he knelt on one knee in the room. in front of the display. The display screen turned on, and what appeared on the screen was a room. If Zhuge Daozi's captain's room could be described as "magnificent", then there were no words that could describe the luxury of this room. The room in the picture is decorated with goose velvet embroidery on both the ceiling and the walls. It is filled with gorgeous furniture that is worth a lot of money. In addition, there are also collections such as Chinese porcelain, Inca sculptures and famous paintings from various eras. These priceless collections reflect the owner's wealth and taste.
This was not the first time Zhuge Daozi saw this room. Rather than the treasures in the room, his attention was entirely on the owner of this room - a girl with shoulder-length short blond hair. The girl's skin is ice-white and her eyes are blue and sparkle like gems. Her slender body and limbs are as perfect as ancient Greek sculptures... She is the eldest princess of HER - Elisabeth Adenauer.
At this time, Elizabeth was surrounded by several maids and it was inconvenient to speak. After the maids finished putting on her gorgeous yellow dress and jewelry, Elizabeth signaled the maids to step back and faced the monitor in her room: "I'm sorry. Brother, it’s too much trouble to put on these clothes, I’ve kept you waiting for a long time.”
Zhuge Daozi said respectfully: "Her Royal Highness the Princess is still so beautiful."
"Cousin, we don't need to be so pretentious between us. Are you ready for the things I asked you to collect?"
"I'll show it to you here."
Zhuge Daozi operated the smart computer virtual interface on his left wrist, and some pictures were projected on Elizabeth's display. These pictures were all real scenes in Europe and North America. There are cities that have been destroyed by nuclear weapons, there are helpless refugees who are covered in dust and holding children crying because of hunger, and there are also natural scenery that has been dazzled by war. The scenes switched one after another, and Elizabeth's frown became closer and closer. She said "enough", and then slumped down weakly on her luxurious sofa.
"My father would never let me see these things. Thank you for taking the risk to show me these, cousin."
Zhuge Daozi still maintained a respectful attitude: "It's okay. I am also disgusted by the consequences of the war. It's just that I am in a weak position and can't do anything about it."
Elizabeth sighed: "My father always thought it was the reincarnation of Frederick the Great, blindly encouraging the people to invade other forces, but what is the difference between what he did and Hitler? I know that there will be no good results if this continues, let alone a war. Keep going...it's just that my father has gone crazy, and my sister Mary is not sensible yet, and even thinks war is a fun thing. Apart from you, cousin, I can't find anyone else I can trust..."
Zhuge Daozi raised his eyes and glanced at Elizabeth, and said slowly: "Maybe the war will not last much longer..."
Elizabeth: "Are you counting on HAL? Do you believe, like those princes and ministers, that its completion will quickly defeat the enemies of the empire?"
Zhuge Daozi shook his head: "No, I don't believe in things that are difficult to control. I just heard that our enemies, that is, the major forces that originally fought on their own, are secretly preparing to attack within the sphere of influence of the Xi'an Cooperation Organization in six months. Honduras will hold another United Nations Conference. Once the conference is reached, all forces will join forces to fight against us. At that time, I am afraid that the scale of the war will further expand, unless..."
Elizabeth's eyes lit up, she pondered for a moment, and asked, "Does Father and the others know this news?"
"I am confident that the empire's intelligence agency will notify His Majesty the Emperor of this matter two months later."
Elizabeth swept away the fatigue just now, her eyes were firm, and she said: "I understand, thank you cousin. The dinner is about to start, I will log off first."
"Goodbye, Your Majesty the Princess, please don't act rashly, I will find a way."
"I see."
The display screen turned off, Zhuge Daozi stood up, patted his pants, and looked at the chessboard in his room thoughtfully.
"There is still a channel missing...Maybe it's time for me to return to the universe."
…
"We're back to the universe!"
There were thunderous cheers in the cabin, and everyone excitedly unbuckled their seat belts and moved freely in the weightless environment, like a bunch of unrestrained children.
"Gravity! Gravity is gone! I'm still a little uncomfortable with it."
"This is the bridge. We have left Linqiu. All areas are in good condition. Please return to your respective posts."
The crew members left with a smile. Lin Ao hesitated and unbuckled his seat belt, and his body immediately floated up a little bit involuntarily.
"Wow!"
Lin Ao felt weightless for the first time in his life, and actually let out a cry of loss, which made other people snicker.
Sergeant Anton skillfully floated over and reached out to support Lin Ao, who was floating in the air: "It doesn't matter. You will get used to it after a while. I will arrange for you earthlings to conduct training in a gravity-free environment."
As soon as he finished speaking, an alarm sounded inside the ship. The Osiris' automatic counterattack system intercepted several sneak attack missiles.
Sergeant Anton shouted: "Quick! Everyone get to their positions!"
"What's going on? Captain." Lin Ao asked.
"The thing that has been worried about has happened. HER knows that we are leaving the earth and will definitely wait and see. Don't worry, members of Team A and the newly reorganized Team B have been on standby in the hangar since departure. This battle is left to them. Our team can just guard the deck, and by the way, you can also see how we fight in the universe."
Sergeant Anton is right, but HER's attack was not specifically aimed at the Osiris. In fact, they have been using the cosmic garbage gathered in the earth's orbit as a cover to ambush humanoid weapons teams everywhere in order to cut off the connection between the earth's hostile forces and the universe. Once these teams see a target they can attack, they will attack on their own.
This team only has three Eagle Types, because most ships will use the residual acceleration force of liftoff to escape from this dangerous area, so the HER team must take the first step to intercept them, even if they face one of the Osiris level. As long as it can be delayed, it can give time for the patrol ships waiting behind to arrive.
Knowing Li Rao's intention, Captain Shepard didn't want to stay long and ordered to speed up and fly out of this garbage patch.
"Ignore them! Get out as far as you can!"
"Captain! Organic mine!"
The Osiris hit many mines hidden in the garbage patch. Although these mines were not very powerful, they still slowed down the battleship.
Captain Shepard said angrily: "Damn HER, do you think the universe belongs to them? In just a few months, they have installed so many mines outside the atmosphere!"
Jessica asked: "Captain, there must be a lot of mines if we keep going. It's too late to clean them up. Do you want to keep going?"
"Of course! It's better to be hit by mines a few times than to fight against enemy warships. It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Keep moving forward!"
At this time, the deck was also in chaos. It was learned that there were a large number of mines in this area. Teams A and B could not leave the battleship to pursue only three enemy aircraft. They could only stick to the deck and shoot the enemies hiding in the space garbage. This is hardly effective.
"Captain, another group of enemy planes has arrived!"
"Don't worry, keep rushing!"
At this time, on the outskirts of this cosmic garbage patch, a HER battleship was speeding up. The female captain, Captain Vega, had been silently calculating the time for the Osiris to leave. Suddenly, she waved her hand and shouted: "Now! Start the whaling net!"
Under her command, several "whaling net" devices that had been set up outside the garbage patch were activated. Large nets with a diameter of 200 meters trapped the Osiris, which was just about to escape.
"Captain Vega, the target has been captured!"
"Okay, let the eagle-type net with the whaling net device nearby catch the tail of Osiris. Remember to fix the whaling net on the giant cosmic garbage while catching the net to slow down the Osiris! "
Sergeant Singer, the adjutant next to Vega, flattered: "Captain, your battle is really wonderful."
Vega took off his helmet, showing off his smooth blond hair, and said proudly: "No, thanks to Lieutenant Colonel Taglis' permission to use the newly developed whaling net, otherwise I would not have thought of a way to trap the Osiris. Now that the enemy is unable to move, we just need to wait for our reinforcements to arrive and dig out the flesh of the Osiris bit by bit, hum..."
…
Outside the atmosphere, a fleet of five battleships appeared. The flagship ship headed by it was all white with some golden embellishments, which made it particularly eye-catching.
"Report, there is a firefight in the space garbage patch."
The signalman on the flagship thought that what he reported was nothing serious. We had seen many such exchanges during the war, and the report would only be recorded in the logbook by others. But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone wearing leather boots making a "ta-da" sound walking towards him. Before he could turn around, a jade hand patted his shoulder heavily. The communications soldier took a closer look and saw that a beautiful woman with short black hair parted in the middle was standing next to him and carefully staring at the surveillance screen he was responsible for. The signal soldier's first reaction when he saw the beauty appeared was not that he was shy or excited, but that he was so scared that he almost sat down on the ground.
The beauty ignored the signal soldier's reaction. She stared at the besieged Osiris on the screen and muttered to herself: "I can't believe we met here."
