"Trash! Seven people can't catch up with one!"
Pirate King Black Sam kicked one of his subordinates, and the other subordinates hurriedly said: "Boss, that machine is too fast, we really can't catch up!"
"Hmph! It seems that it is really a machine from the Ten Swords series. Anyway, I know where it has escaped, so sooner or later it will be mine!"
…
The colonial satellite Carthage is currently undergoing a large-scale demonstration and strike to protest against their council selling materials that can produce weapons to HER, claiming that this is aiding evil. The Carthage Council's response was simple and crude. It dropped heavy rain on all satellites in an attempt to frustrate the demonstrators' determination.
The same was true in the A37 agricultural satellite. The farmers gathered in the city square to demonstrate, and no one noticed that a humanoid weapon had just fallen into the satellite where they lived.
"Wake up, wake up!"
Elizabeth, who was unconscious in the turbulence because Unit 2 crashed into the woods, was shaken awake by Lin Ao. She first heard the sound of heavy rain hitting the metal, then blinked and saw Lin Ao's unfamiliar face, and suddenly remembered What did she say? Tears welled up in her eyes and she choked with sobs: "The maid...is she...dead..."
Lin Ao did not answer. After confirming that Elizabeth was not injured, he rummaged around and found something from behind the seat, saying, "I'll let you go first, but don't run too far. I don't even know where this is."
Elizabeth seemed to still be immersed in the grief of her father's death. Lin Ao shouted a few times but had no response. He simply picked up Elizabeth and prepared to transport her down, but he did not expect that Elizabeth would resist fiercely.
"Let go! You bastard! Why didn't you save her then!!"
Lin Ao didn't catch her firmly, and the two of them fell to the ground together. Fortunately, they were not far from the ground, and Lin Ao deliberately acted as a backing to protect Elizabeth as she fell to Lin. He himself was in great pain.
"Stop making trouble! You...don't run!"
Elizabeth turned around and ran away after falling to the ground. Lin Ao endured the pain and wanted to chase, but saw the princess turned around and took out a silver pistol and pointed it at herself.
"Are you crazy?! Put down the gun! The sound of gunfire will attract others!" Lin Ao shouted.
"Don't come here! I don't trust you!"
"I've been running here with you and you still don't trust me!?"
Elizabeth shouted hysterically: "Who knows where this is! Did you bring me here on purpose? Who knows if those pirates are your accomplices? Who knows if you killed my maid!"
"Crazy woman! You are as crazy as your father!!"
"Shut up! We are enemies. You are living this on your own. You just used me to escape from New Rome, right!? It was a good plan, but it ended up like this, uh... wuwuwu..."
Elizabeth held up her gun and sobbed. Lin Ao wanted to go up and give her a slap in the face to correct it, but after a moment he was still patient: "Listen, I don't want to hurt you. I'm sorry that I didn't save your maid, but it happened too suddenly at the time. I can't react! Oh...please calm down. I will hide the body for a while and then try to contact the Osiris. Although the start is different from your plan, I promise to protect you. Nothing in the world is easy. That’s the plan!”
"I, my maid, she has always taken care of me. It was me who harmed her, wuwuwu..."
Elizabeth was still sobbing, Lin Ao repeated his words several times, and she finally calmed down. At this moment, both of them were exposed to the heavy rain, and half of their shoes were already stuck in the mud. Lin Ao waved: "Come here, I'll make the machine squat down, and you sit on the soles of your feet."
"Thank you...I won't run away, you don't have to worry about me anymore."
Lin Ao saw that Elizabeth refused to come over, so he had to hide the aircraft first. He climbed into the cockpit and took out the camouflage cloth he had just pulled out. After controlling the aircraft to a suitable position, he let the aircraft cover the body with the camouflage cloth like a quilt. , then he climbed out to cover other exposed areas, and finally returned to the cockpit to let the AI cycle send a distress signal to the Osiris.
"call…"
After doing this, Lin Ao's clothes were soaked by the rain. When he saw Elizabeth still standing in the rain, he ran over: "I have contacted the Osiris, but I don't know how long it will take to receive a reply. It may take a long time."
Seeing that Elizabeth was indifferent, she added: "This rain won't stop in a short time. Go to the cockpit and take a rest."
"Is there such rain on earth?" she asked suddenly.
"Yes, I've seen one bigger than this."
Elizabeth slowly raised her head, her face facing the rain, and looking at the hazy ceiling of the colonial satellite:
"The rain is so cold, but I always thought it was warm... My father hates rain. I have never seen it rain in the capital for as long as I can remember, let alone snow. When I was young, I often fantasized about being in the rain or snow with my sister. I played happily in the space, thinking it was a very happy thing, and enjoyed being able to go to Earth and experience things I had never seen on a colonial satellite, but it seems that I really don’t understand anything.”
"There is indeed cold rain on the earth, but there is also warm rain. I promise, I will take you to the earth."
"You promise? What can I get from your help?" Elizabeth asked.
Lin Ao asked: "Why do you want to end the war even if you betray your father?"
"I...I am for...more people."
"That's right!" Lin Ao stepped forward and held Elizabeth's shoulders excitedly: "Look at me! I was also a refugee! My parents were killed by people from your country, and I am also a victim of the war! On earth, No, there are many people like me in the entire earth circle, who are even more powerless than me, praying that the war will end soon, and all you have to do is help them!"
Elizabeth had grown up next to a powerful father and was accustomed to seeing hypocrisy, flattery and fear in his eyes. She had never seen such a sincere look in Lin Ao's eyes at this moment. For some reason, she felt warm in her heart, and her cold body hit by the rain became warm again.
"I...I know. Well, is there a place for me to sleep? I'm very sleepy."
"You can sleep in the cockpit, I'll help you up."
"Thanks…"
Lin Ao handed the halyard to Elizabeth. She had never used such an unsafe thing before and almost fell off when the halyard automatically retracted.
"Why don't you come up? There's another person left here," she asked.
"No need! I can also take shelter from the rain. You can have a good rest!"
Seeing Elizabeth getting into the cockpit, Lin Ao sat tiredly on the feet of the aircraft and sighed: "Osiris, please respond to me quickly."
…
"Asshole!!! What do you do for food! Where is my daughter!? Get him back to me!"
HER Emperor Manfred's roar could be heard in most of the palace. The disappearance of Princess Elizabeth was originally a secret, but with his loud voice, at least the lower-level staff of the kingdom could not hide it.
The red knight saw that the black tea in his cup was trembling due to the emperor's roar, and he was worried: "I really didn't expect that the eldest princess who knows the book and is polite will disappear. It would be terrible if she was kidnapped."
The red knight sitting opposite him waved his fan gently: "Are you worried?"
The red knight looked at him doubtfully: "Aren't you worried? She is also your cousin."
"I believe nothing will happen to her. It is not my task to find her. Speaking of which, Jin Sangyu has also disappeared. Do you think the two are connected?"
"Where are you? The princess's maid is also missing. I remember that the maid was very close to you when we were in the military academy."
Zhuge Daozi laughed and said: "Farewell, farewell, this matter will not make us suspicious of each other, I was joking."
The red knight put down the tea cup and stood up: "Thank you for the tea. I am really worried about Jin Shangyu. If you have any news, please tell me as soon as possible."
"You've said this twice, walk slowly."
"Also, I heard that Unit 2 disappeared just after the Merchant Chamber of Commerce's merchant ship left New Rome. The merchant ship was attacked by pirates, and Unit 2 seemed not to be found at the scene... Do you have any clues?"
Before he finished speaking, Zhuge Daozi showed a hint of surprise that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.
"Don't you know? It has just been in the news. If it was the Moore Chamber of Commerce, then the No. 2 aircraft might have been taken away by pirates. I still have to train new recruits, so I'll take my leave."
After the red knight left, Zhuge Daozi immediately started his personal terminal and found this news:
"...Currently, the Moore Chamber of Commerce has taken over the distressed ship Seth. The pirate Hessam said he was responsible for the attack and said that he had more than 100 hostages and demanded a high ransom from the Moore Chamber of Commerce...The following is A list of the victims whose DNA identities have been identified in this incident..."
Zhuge Daozi uneasily looked through the list of victims and hostages, but could not find the names of the princess, Lin Ao and the maid. .
His head was confused. The princess was really missing now, and the situation was completely out of his control.
"Is this a mistake I made because I was too young... No, we can't say that Elizabeth is dead just yet. I have to find her, otherwise..."
Zhuge Daozi turned off his personal terminal and looked up out of the window. What he saw was a huge "eye" shining with red light.
