The sun rises above the ground, and the sunlight spreads on the sea. The sea carries the gentle sunshine to the beach...
This is Earth, Africa.
Lin Ao safely broke through the atmosphere with the help of Lu Ke who suddenly appeared, but because Luke rushed directly to high altitude to catch Lin Ao and then returned, too much energy was wasted. The result is that Luke cannot switch routes when landing, and can only land in a straight line on a large island. The two broke through the clouds and saw the magnificent scenery before them.
"Uh oh oh oh!! Lin Ao, come down now!"
It was a pity that the two of them had no time to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Seeing that the "Phoenix" was about to hit the cliff, Fudo Mingwang, who was standing on the back of the Phoenix, jumped up and down. He grabbed Fenghuang's wings with both hands and landed heavily on the ground with his feet. He grabbed the falling Phoenix forcefully. The last two machines fell awkwardly on the soft ground, and no one was killed.
"Luke, Fudo Meiou...the leg of Unit 2 just had a problem!"
"Wait a minute, let me figure out where we are first. Can we call for rescue... This is Madagascar?!"
Lin Ao left the cockpit and set foot on solid and gravity-rich ground again. Although Zu was thousands of miles away from West Asia and East Asia, he felt like he was already home.
He took off his helmet and shook his hair vigorously like a dog that had just taken a bath, splattering sweat everywhere. He pulled down the zipper of his driving suit, and sweat suddenly poured out. This showed how high the temperature inside Unit 2 was when it broke through the atmosphere. If it weren't for Luke, he might have been heated to death before Unit 2 was incinerated.
"Phew...I'm so thirsty."
Lin Ao deeply breathed in the air of the Lin sphere. Different from the pure artificial air on the colonial satellites and Osiris, the air of the earth was mixed with the fragrance of earth, trees and sea, which was particularly intoxicating.
"No wonder I saw a store in the colonial satellite buying canned earth air..."
He raised his head and looked at Fudo Myooh. Although his beloved machine was not destroyed by the atmosphere, many places were deformed and damaged due to the high temperature. Lin Ao felt very remorseful. Maybe the Red Knight was right. He had changed from a person who avoided war to a person who enjoyed it. If he hadn't been in love with war, Li Si would not have sacrificed...
While deep in thought, Luke controlled the machine to transform back into a human form, climbed out of the cockpit and looked around, and sighed: "That's a bottle tree! A unique tree species in Madagascar. It seems we are really in Africa!"
"Thank you Luke, I'm dead without you! But why did you show up suddenly?"
Luke tiredly lay on the hatch and drank a bottle of water: "Forget it, our troops were temporarily deployed to participate in a high-altitude battle with HER. We failed miserably because my aircraft was fiercely pursued by the enemy. In order to escape from them I had to fly until they reached the altitude. I wanted to fly back, but I saw you falling from the top...what happened to you."
"Alas, the Osiris is coming to Earth and fought a battle with HER's troops. It was almost the same as you. I also got separated... How is Mr. Billy? Did he participate in that battle with you?"
"It was him who taught me to fly high to avoid enemies. He and the large army should be on their way back to the Balkans... I haven't contacted them yet. Lin Ao, you can try to contact the Osiris. They landed on Where is it?"
Lin Ao climbed back into the cockpit and tried to contact the Osiris. To his surprise, he quickly succeeded.
"Hello? Osiris? I'm Lin Ao! I'm in Madagascar!"
Jessica's voice came from the other end:
"Lin Ao!? Are you still alive?? Thank you! We are also in Africa. Can you come to Angola alone to find us?"
"Eh? I originally wanted you to find me..."
"I see... we encountered some accidents when we landed. Now the whole ship is undergoing repairs. I'm afraid I won't be able to find you for the time being."
"It's okay, let's keep in touch, and I'll try to see if the machine can be repaired. Say hello to Lieutenant Anton and Captain Li Youde for me!"
"How's it going?" Luke asked standing a few meters away.
Lin Ao shrugged: "It sounds like they have too much time to take care of themselves."
Luke scratched his head: "It's too difficult. I can't contact the troops. I'm afraid we have to stay here for a while."
Lin Ao asked: "Is it safe here? Is it an area controlled by HER?"
"I don't know. I can't even remember how much land our new EU has lost and regained every week. I don't even know about the African Brotherhood area..."
The two of them deliberated for a while and decided that it would be safer to hide the machine first. Phoenix pulled Fudo Mingou, whose legs were supported, into the woods. The two worked together to cover the machine body with a camouflage net, and Luke, a technical second lieutenant, took the lead in repairing it. But before that, the two found a river to bathe in.
"You became a warrant officer?" Luke asked.
Lin Ao rubbed his nose: "It's just a Mycenaean military rank."
"Hum, even if you have the rank of Xingmei, you are still one level lower than me. I am the best big brother to you. If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me. But first, call me Second Lieutenant." listen!"
"screw you!"
The two of them were laughing and playing around in the river, unaware that someone was watching them nearby...
…
The perspective shifts to the Osiris.
The situation of the Osiris was even worse than that of Lin Ao and the others. This large ship broke into the atmosphere at an unsafe speed. After entering the gravity circle, it fell much faster than ordinary warships. Although there was data of landing on the earth before, That time I landed fully prepared, but this time there were too many variables. Under extremely unstable conditions, helmsman Yamaguchi had to change the landing trajectory in order to avoid the ship crashing and killing people, causing it to deviate from its original target and land in Angola, Africa.
The huge battleship fell from the sky like a giant beast, accompanied by a thunderous roar. In the eyes of the beasts on the ground, it was like the sky collapsed. When the heavy hull came into contact with the ground and began to slide, the friction with the earth made a louder sound that could be heard miles away.
The situation inside the ship was even worse. Even if there were shock-absorbing facilities, it was difficult to "land" with such a reluctance. Everything that was not locked tightly was smashed everywhere. This was not bad, some crew members fainted directly due to the huge G-force during landing, and most of those who did not faint also vomited.
The same was true for Li Youde. The Osiris taxied for several minutes before it came to a stop. The first thing he did was to take off his helmet and find a paper bag to spit in, and then he asked:
"Is everyone okay? Jessica? Yamaguchi?"
"Yamaguchi vomited badly!"
"Thank you for your hard work, take him to the infirmary! Jessica, notify the heads of each area on the ship and ask them to report the injuries and property losses. Then notify the staff to contact the locals. If we fall like this, the residents here will definitely come back. Looking for us. By the way, where are we?"
"Africa, Angola."
"Africa!? Damn it, I was supposed to go to Asia. This is too far!"
"Lin Ao sent a communication, he is still alive! But his body can't fly."
"Let him find a way to wait, or come back by himself, we will be in more trouble here. Okay, I'm going to go to the Parallax ship to see what's going on inside. Jessica will let me know if anything happens!"
Li Youde took off his spacesuit on the spot. This was his first time on Earth, and he suddenly fell down as soon as he took a step. He got up in embarrassment and complained: "Damn... the gravity on the ground is much stronger than on the satellite."
Li Youde quickly inspected various areas in the ship. The most important power room needed a day or two to repair. Fortunately, no weapons exploded due to tremors in the hangar, but it would take a while to pack them up. The medical room was full, and the doctor Apu was knocked down when landing. The restaurant is the most severely damaged, with a lot of tableware not locked and smashed everywhere. If it is not cleaned up quickly, everyone will not be able to eat today...
Li Youde quickly inspected the rooms one by one. When he passed by the rest area, he stopped. Almost all the drivers gathered in front of the "Wall of Heroes" to mourn. Old Jack held a laser engraver and carved Li Si's name on it. Li Youde stepped forward, expressed his condolences as the captain, and said:
"Li Si's body is being searched by the Agamemnon, which is still in space, but their time is limited..."
Bart and the others suppressed their grief and nodded to express their understanding.
"We are in Africa now, and there are HER troops stationed here. You must not relax and let no more tragedies happen."
"yes!!!"
Li Youde's expression became solemn and he walked towards Elizabeth's room. Seeing him coming, the female soldier guarding the door of Elizabeth's room saluted him: "Hello, Colonel!"
"Thank you for your hard work. I came back on duty just after landing. Open the door, I want to go in."
Li Youde entered the room and saw Elizabeth still fixing herself to the wall, sobbing. He hurriedly untied it from the wall and caught Elizabeth lying down.
"What's wrong with you?" he asked.
"My sister, I saw my sister fighting, if she was..."
"What kind of machine does your sister drive? Red?"
"That's right. Do you know if she's okay?"
"She got into a fight with Team Z, but they didn't harm her life. It seemed like she was rescued."
Hearing this, Elizabeth stopped crying. After wiping her tears, she asked, "Are the crew members okay? If it weren't for the fact that I'm going to Lhasa..."
Li Youde sighed: "That's the problem. We have deviated from the route and are now in Africa."
"Eh?"
"How long will it take to repair the ship? In its current condition, the Osiris cannot fly to Lhasa at full speed. It will take a month at the earliest."
"That's it..." Elizabeth lowered her head and thought for a moment: "It doesn't matter, the meeting in Lhasa is about three months away, so I can make it in time."
"Then I have two things to tell you. One is that Lin Ao is in Madagascar now and he won't be able to come back in a short time."
"Is he okay?"
"It's okay, don't worry. One more thing... The Osiris is in urgent need of manpower right now, and there are a lot more injured people because of this landing... If possible, can you go to the restaurant to help?"
"Eh?"
"Can't you?"
"Okay, but I can't cook."
"It doesn't matter, you can just do the chores. I will ask the restaurant manager not to arrange tiring work for you. As compensation, I will pay you the salary of an ordinary crew member, and you can buy what you want on the ship."
"Does this mean I can move freely?"
Li Youde nodded.
"Then...can I go to the ground and have a look? This is my first time on Earth."
Li Youde was embarrassed: "This...I'm afraid..."
Elizabeth flashed her big eyes: "Is it okay? Please..."
"Um...I understand. I'll ask the guard at the door to take you down, but you can only move around the ship for five minutes and then report to the restaurant. Do you understand?"
"Thanks!"
Seeing that Elizabeth agreed, Li Youde breathed a sigh of relief. He had been thinking about how to arrange this HER princess for a while, and it was undoubtedly the best to put her under house arrest like this. But Li Youde was worried about what she would do at the Lhasa Conference, if she instigated new disputes... The answer he finally considered was to let this princess, who had a silver spoon in her mouth, live with civilians and let her understand the war from a different perspective. , I hope she can be touched by this, so that she can speak more conducive to peace at the meeting. The area with the most civilians on the ship is the restaurant.
"Okay, I have to say goodbye. There are still a lot of things that I need to do..."
…
"Colonel Chen Ma, is the news I heard true?"
"Yes, Mr. Chief, Princess Elizabeth of HER will attend the meeting hosted by us."
“Will what she publishes be beneficial to us?”
"Yes, but the real situation will have to wait until we receive her before we can judge. Even if she is not allowed to participate in the meeting, having her under control is still a good card."
"Where is she now?"
"Mycenae's Osiris was responsible for transporting her. Now she has landed in Africa due to some accidents. I request that a force be sent to guide them."
"This is a bit difficult. The African Brotherhood is not stable right now. I'm afraid they won't agree to our request, but I will find a way. That's it, Colonel Chen Ma."
"Goodbye! Mr. Chief!"
Colonel Chen Ma turned off the video communication, and the young man standing behind him asked: "Colonel, does the chief agree?"
Chen Ma nodded: "It's almost the same. Let's just wait for the news, Zhang Lei."
The man named Zhang Lei smiled: "Really, the Osiris, right? I really want to see who is driving the Ten Swords machine like me."
