"Former Major General Shepard, since the enemy has been defeated and fled, we have to return."
"Thank you very much, the kindness will be unforgettable..."
Watching the Tai'an and Shiga go away, Shepard couldn't help but sigh: "Lieutenant Colonel Dias is such a gentleman. Originally, I was worried that the Covenant's help without prior notice was to coerce Mycenae to return to the Star Alliance in the future. I didn’t expect that Diaz really just wanted to repay the favor. I judge a gentleman’s heart with a human heart..."
"Captain, we can enter the Lion Gate in three minutes. The first airport department has surrendered to us."
"Okay, this is the last step of this battle. Let the humanoid weapon troops and marines be ready. Fighters will block all airport exits. After this ship docks, we must control all important locations in the Lion Gate within half an hour!"
The final step of the Mycenaean War has begun. As long as the capital is suppressed, the entire Mycenaean colonial satellite circle will surrender. In view of the defeat of the HER troops and the parliamentary garrison, Lions Gate actually has no Lin resistance, but...
"Listen up! Let us go! Otherwise I will blow up those untouchables!"
Some former members of the parliament were unwilling to fail like this. They planned to flee here with their wealth, but now that all exits from Lion Gate were suppressed, they thought of the residents of the auxiliary colonial satellite who were imprisoned in various airport warehouses, and wanted to use this to blackmail them. Shepard lets them go. Unfortunately, they did find an airport warehouse that was not suppressed in time.
The leading congressman pointed at the "lifeguards" who were watching him and shouted: "Don't come near me! You ugly machines. There are 5,000 people in this warehouse, usually women and children, and they are locked up with the bombs. If I push the button, no one will survive!”
It was Sergeant Bart and Miao Haosi who were driving the "Lifeguard" to watch. Bart sighed: "Really... when will you do this again?"
A Marine shouted to the congressman: "Don't be impulsive! This is not good for anyone. The ship you want is ready. It is at the B4 platform of this airport. You can get there in five minutes. Put down the detonator and leave quickly." Bar!"
"I won't believe you easily! It's okay to let us go, but we have to take away a few hostages!"
"No! This is absolutely not possible!"
"Not negotiable!"
The two sides reached a stalemate. Shepard's side really wanted to let them go, but taking away the hostages was too much. After this gang of drunkards escaped, they might sell the hostages to human traffickers in the colonial satellite "Carthage" for money.
The congressman became anxious and held up the detonator as if he was going to press it as a threat. At this moment, only a gunshot was heard, and the congressman's raised hand was abruptly interrupted. His hand holding the detonator was like an airbag to protect the falling detonator. As he clutched his wound and screamed in pain, Marine Express subdued the group.
"Huh... I'm so nervous..."
Sergeant Anton was slumped on the ground on the rooftop in the distance, holding a smoking sniper rifle in his arms.
"I haven't fired a human gun for so long, and I'm still worried about missing it."
Anton looked up at the ceiling above his head, which happened to be a park. From his position, he could not hear the commotion in the distance, only the sound of the gentle wind flowing inside the colonial satellite blowing by his ears. Everything was so peaceful, as if Mycenae had never experienced war.
"I haven't been to that park very often. Fortunately, the battle did not cause damage to the satellite. But... we should wait until the war is over to relax and visit."
…
The Battle of Mycenae was over and the former Parliament was dissolved. Shepard immediately issued a speech to calm people's hearts and began to send the residents of the auxiliary colonial satellites who had been forcibly taken away from their places of residence back home. The citizens of Mycenae had long been unable to tolerate the evil deeds of the former council.
Across the street, cheers and music filled the main streets of the city, and balloons were flying everywhere. People, old and young, stood on both sides of the street to welcome the returning soldiers in triumph, and at the same time to celebrate the independence of their homeland again.
One bus after another drove slowly through the streets. The top floor of the bus was filled with the crew of the Osiris. Now they are the heroes who liberated the city. Pride, joy, touch, etc. can be seen on each of their faces. mood.
"We're back!!"
"Long live! Thank you for driving away HER!"
"Look! That's my son over there in the car! He's still alive!!"
Relatives called out to their loved ones on the bus, and the crew members saw their relatives and lovers coming to greet them, and got off the bus one by one to reunite with them.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ao, Anton and Natasha sitting in the last row were also quite emotional.
Edward crossed his legs and couldn't hide his pride: "Well, it feels good to be a hero."
"What do you have to be proud of? Weren't you and Lin Ao captured by the enemy halfway?" Natasha choked.
"Hey, hey! We are not paddling. Lin Ao killed a Ten Swordsman, and I defeated Commander Li Rao! Isn't that right, Lin?"
Edward hugged Lin Ao, and Lin Ao nodded vigorously several times.
"Stop it." Edward changed the subject: "Sergeant Anton, we each have a bonus of 100,000, how do you plan to use it?"
Lin Ao thought for a while: "Well... I have never had so much money, and I really don't know how to spend it. Let's buy clothes first. Apart from the clothes I was given on the ship, the only clothes I have are the ones I had in the refugee camp. Old T-shirt.”
"What about you, Natasha?"
"Buy books and a new personal terminal. It's still too boring on the ship, so I need to relax early."
"Huh huh huh..." Edward sneered for some reason and said in a condescending tone: "The things you want to buy are too ordinary. Let me tell you, I want to buy the best guitar and become the best guitar in history. Hands!"
"Whatever you want...we're not interested."
Loud orchestral music sounded, accompanied by fast-paced drum beats. The band's playing drowned out the sound of the three people talking. The three of them looked back in unison. Following their bus was a convertible car opened by the band. The car drove slowly, and sitting in the car were the protagonists of today's triumphal ceremony: Shepard and Sergeant Anton.
The crowd burst into cheers like waves. In order to calm people down, Shepard did not come out in a wheelchair. He forced himself to sit as high as possible to greet the citizens on both sides, so that everyone could see him. Sergeant Anton sat on Next to him, he smiled and waved to everyone.
The three people on the bus were envious when they saw Shepard and Sergeant Anton enjoying the treatment of heroes.
"Heroes are also divided into levels. Even if we defeat HER, pawns like us won't be able to enjoy such treatment." Edward.
"Are you fighting just to get addicted to being a hero?" Natasha asked disdainfully.
"That's right! I just want to be as majestic as the heroes I saw on TV. As long as what I do is right, you don't care what my original intention is?"
Lin Ao said nothing. He thought: Will peace really be achieved after defeating HER? There will still be conflicts between people in space and people on earth, and between major forces. I just want to die of old age. No solution could be found, and the war was only temporarily extinguished.
…
"Mycenae has fallen, my friend."
The red knight stood on the bridge of the "Wuhou-class" battleship with his hands behind his back, staring out the window at the stars and sea.
"I heard it too. It's the Osiris. That's what you're thinking."
Zhuge Daozi, who had his legs crossed, took the tea in a fine ceramic cup from the soldier serving him next to him and tasted it carefully.
"My friend, the Star Alliance should be happy now. Mycenae has become an important city in the colonial satellite. Shepard will definitely return to the Star Alliance."
"I don't think so. If the Star Alliance could still be trusted, Shepard would not have given up the title of major general. He could have used the name of general to recruit troops and plan to take back Mycenae."
"Are you Mycenaean and will you be neutral? That's really unfortunate. I haven't been able to fight against the boy who piloted the Ten Swords Unit 2 on the Osiris."
Zhuge Daozi smiled: "Sometimes I really doubt your orientation. You always talk about that boy like an idiot, but in private you take special care of Sister Jin..."
Hearing Zhuge Daozi mention his personal affairs, the red knight stood on tiptoe and whispered in Zhuge Daozi's ear: "My friend, you can't do this in front of so many people."
"What? Are you serious?"
The red knight smiled and shook his head: "Brave warriors should get matching rewards, and I just happen to know what Sister Jin wants. Let's not mention this... We finally returned to the universe, let me hear your plan .”
"Plan? Are you planning for future battles?" Zhuge Daozi put the tea cup back into the hands of the respectful soldiers, and tapped his palms with a folding fan: "We have fought so many battles on earth, and the soldiers and I need to rest. . Let’s go to Nineveh first to receive the equipment customized for you. Then we will return to New Rome. After returning, the emperor will definitely give you a promotion, so don’t wait in a hurry.”
The two laughed loudly, and the orange-red Marquis of Wu slowly drove towards the colonial satellite Nineveh.
