Li Youde and Lin Ao stood on the observation deck, admiring the vast Indian Ocean.
Li Youde said: "Compared with this ocean, the Osiris is really a drop in the ocean. It is amazing that humans can leave such a vast earth and explore a broader universe."
Lin Ao nodded and asked him: "Captain, have you been to China?"
"No, this is my first time on Earth. What about you?"
"I was in China when I was a child, but I can't remember it at the time. My parents brought me to live in West Asia when I was young. I grew up with children from West Asia and listened to my parents' lectures together."
Li Youde said: "I sometimes wonder, where are the roots of a person? How important is it? I was born in the universe, I know that my ancestors are Chinese, and I also know which province, city and region my ancestral home is. Press Personally speaking, I was born in Mycenae, a colonial satellite in the universe, but I also have the identity of a Chinese. But what about going forward? I don’t know where my ancestors came from. Waiting for humans As I move further and further away from the earth, will my earthly origin be forgotten by my descendants? At that time, people may only say that my ancestors are from the earth, but how close and how far away the earth is in their eyes Woolen cloth?"
Lin Ao shook his head: "I don't know the answer, but now when I think about getting closer to China, I feel a sense of unknown joy. Maybe human beings will really go far, far away from the earth one day. , but I think as long as they can return to Earth, they will definitely feel the same emotions."
Li Youde nodded: "I have this feeling too. But I am confused as to what I am fighting for. Now that the whole world is fighting HER, I can still distinguish ourselves from the enemy, but if the Star Alliance and Chang'an cooperate in the future, If there is a conflict, what should I do? As a human being, I am a cosmic person. No one will blame me for standing with the Star Alliance, but I am afraid that I will be punished by my ancestors. After all, it is the homeland where our family has reproduced to my generation. I'm afraid I can only choose to retreat at that time, but even if I escape, I will feel sad knowing that either party has suffered losses. What do you think, Lin Ao?"
Li Youde thought that Lin Ao would think about it before answering, but Lin Ao responded quickly: "Why do we have to fight? Isn't peace bad? After this war, will mankind continue to fight?"
Li Youde was speechless for a moment and said, "Yes, why do we have to fight? I have been a soldier for too long and all I think about is war. I remembered a poem:
No one is an island isolated from the rest of the world.
Every death is my sorrow,
Because I am a member of the human race.
so,
Ask no more for whom the bell tolls,
The bell tolls for you! "
The two wanted to continue to enjoy the scenery quietly, but they heard the call from the radio: "Captain Li Youde! There is a HER battleship approaching us quickly, please return to the bridge quickly!"
"One? Lin Ao, go to the hangar!"
"yes!"
Li Youde ran towards the hangar, feeling strange as he ran. At present, the Osiris and the fleet of the Chang'an Cooperation Organization have a total of four warships, and the enemy only has one. What is it trying to do?
When he returned to the bridge, he heard Jessica ask him: "Captain, the enemy's captain requested to communicate with us."
"Communication? Come in and listen to what he wants to do."
The face that appeared on the projection was Heinrich.
"Hello everyone on the Osiris, I am Colonel Heinrich of the Holy Roman Empire in the universe. We had a brief encounter in the colonial satellite Liangzhu."
Li Youde frowned, thinking that although he had never seen this Heinrich during the Battle of Liangzhu, he did repulse an Yingyang-type special attack team that attempted to destroy the colonial satellite. If this Heinrich was the commander of HER at that time, then he was definitely not a good person.
"What are you going to do? I'm warning you, the Osiris is now operating with the fleet of the Chang'an Cooperation Organization, so don't try to do anything wrong."
Heinrich smiled and said: "You misunderstood, I am not here to fight you, I am here to ask for someone. Princess Elizabeth of our empire is on the Osiris, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the entire bridge fell silent, and everyone looked at Li Youde, wanting to see how he would answer.
"I don't understand, why is the princess of your country on board the Osiris?"
"Don't hide it from me, I have intelligence that our princess is on the Osiris."
Li Youde smiled and said: "Why, do you still want to search the ship?"
At this time, the three Chang'an Cooperation Organization submarines leading in front of the Osiris had turned and faced Heinrich's battleship together with the Osiris.
"I'm here to reason. You kidnapped our princess. If the world knew about this, how would they evaluate you?" Heinrich said.
"It's funny, you HER are not afraid of the world's judgment when you launch a war of aggression, but you are worried about us? Let me say it again, we did not kidnap your princess, get out!"
"I hope you will take care of yourself."
Heinrich didn't seem surprised by the result, he really just left.
Li Youde couldn't say he was relieved. He was not worried about what Heinrich would dare to do. If he really knew that Elizabeth was on the Osiris, he would definitely not dare to act rashly. But Li Youde couldn't understand why Heinrich would take the risk. Did he really think he would hand over Elizabeth obediently and let him take him away?
Heinrich wiped his sweat. He must not have dared to provoke him. He did so after receiving Zhuge Daozi's order.
…
"Do the people in the empire know I'm here?"
Lin Ao told Elizabeth what had just happened. Elizabeth looked at herself in the mirror, thought about it, and said:
"That's right, it's been so long, it's time for them to find out."
"Are you scared?" Lin Ao asked.
"No, I'm not afraid, but I'm worried that this will put you in more dangers and difficulties. My father will definitely find a way to target you."
Lin Ao hugged Elizabeth from behind and said softly: "Don't worry, everyone accepts you now. Even if something happens, I will stay with you until the end."
"I know you will."
Elizabeth kissed Lin Ao lightly on the cheek.
"I will not run away in the face of battle. I have chosen this path myself and will go on without hesitation. Lin Ao, stay with me!"
At this time, the sound of the radio sounded in the room:
"The Osiris has entered the HER occupied area in India. Please prepare all departments to prevent emergencies."
…
Late at night, above the waters of Somalia, in the fighter hangar of the Piercing King.
Boris carried Princess Mary, who fell asleep due to excessive exhaustion, and walked towards the only one-time shuttle on the ship that could break through the atmosphere alone. He, Princess Mary, and the Red Knight were the only three people in the entire hangar now, and this matter was kept secret from everyone else on the ship.
Boris turned back three times reluctantly, but finally couldn't hold it back. He stopped before boarding the shuttle and asked the Red Knight: "Boss! Why, why do you want to send Princess Mary back? Isn't it good to let her be in our hands?" ?”
The Red Knight shook his head: "Are you talking about using a little girl to realize our plan? This is too cowardly."
Boris said angrily: "But what we want to do is not a fair fight! Don't you want to kill Manfred for revenge?! He killed your father in the first place, so what if he uses his daughter now?"
The red knight still shook his head: "No, I can't do this. Listen to me Boris, I quietly asked you to take the princess away just because I don't want to cause trouble. When you send the princess back to New Rome, I will hide!"
Boris's face twitched.
"Are you...really giving up? Then those like-minded friends in New Rome..."
The Red Knight took off his usual sunglasses and looked at Boris for a moment.
"Boris, I will not end my revenge, but I will change my way. You go back and tell them that when I go back to discuss a new plan, don't act rashly. Go!"
Boris couldn't say anything else and took Princess Mary on the plane according to the order of the Red Knight.
"Take care, head!"
He drove the shuttle out of the hangar, flew high into the sky, and headed away into the universe.
