Lin Ao used the shield as a ski and the long-handled battle ax as a sled, sliding down the mountain and snow.
"This kid actually used a shield to ski."
Lieutenant Anton at the foot of the mountain couldn't help but admire Lin Ao's creativity. Natasha on the side said worriedly: "Some flying eagles are heading towards Lin Ao. If Lieutenant Anton, your body can still snipe, you can cover it." Him."
Anton said: "I wouldn't have been able to support Baibu if he hadn't been like that by the Red Knight. The mountain is too complicated...but he doesn't seem to need my help."
While they were talking, Lin Ao had already killed a Yingyang equipped with a flying device. The remaining Yingyang Shi absorbed the lessons of the hussar that was killed by Lin Ao before, and chose to shoot Lin Ao from a distance. But this won't bring much benefit. Lin Ao's laser rifle has a longer range than them and is far less agile than the Hussars. They are like targets hanging in the sky.
"Zhuge Daozi..."
Lin Ao's mind was not on those Ying Yang Shi. He now only wanted to catch up with Zhuge Daozi's flagship and shoot him down to avenge Elizabeth. If you can't do it today, who knows when you can meet him again in the future.
To Lin Ao's despair, Zhuge Daozi's battleships began to retreat, and at the same time, the alliance's battleship group also switched from defense to offense. In this way, Zhuge Daozi will only run away faster, and it will be difficult to catch up with Fudo Mingwang.
But if you don’t pursue it now, how much will you regret later? Lin Ao felt that his chest, abdomen and thighs were now wet and cold. It was the cold feeling caused by the blood of Elizabeth in his arms seeping into his clothes. His tears mixed with blood kept flowing, and his lips kept twitching. This is a reaction that occurs when a person is extremely sad and crying. Lin Ao wanted to hold Elizabeth's body and cry loudly, but doing so would waste time and let Zhuge Daozi, the murderer, go.
But he can't take revenge today.
The advancing alliance battleship group used artillery fire to drive away the Yingyang type that harassed Lin Ao. The main force of HER began to retreat at full speed, and Zhuge Daozi's Wuhou class was getting farther and farther away. Lin Ao was constantly struck by the hopeless feeling of powerlessness in revenge, and the passion that drove him to fight gradually faded away. The side effects of his originally deliberately ignored and numb activation ability became more and more obvious. He had a splitting headache and blurred vision. Finally, Lin Ao fainted, and Fudo Meiou also lost control and fell off the shield ski. Thanks to the AI Toth who took over the control in time, Fudo Meiou didn't roll down the hillside and was shattered to pieces...
The Battle of Shishapangma is over. The HER fleet returned to the Indian occupied area, and the Chang'an Cooperation Organization and the missions of various forces returned to the fortress.
That night, the live broadcast of the Alliance meeting once again appeared on media terminals throughout the Earth Circle, announcing to the world the results of the Battle of Shishapangma and the death of Princess Elizabeth. Although the scene of her murder had been completely broadcast live, it still caused a sensation in the entire earth circle after being officially confirmed.
"...Princess Elizabeth loved peace. During the short time we spent together here, her charisma and desire for peace moved us all. I feel sorry for her death, and I am also angry at the madness of the Holy Roman Empire in the universe!" Secretary Zheng Zichan, ambassador of the host Chang'an Cooperation Organization, said so.
Representatives of various ambassadors hurriedly completed the signing ceremony of the alliance in the dilapidated conference hall. The conference ended with all those present observing a minute's silence for the sacrifice of Princess Elizabeth and the soldiers who died in this battle.
…
Although the battle was won, the morale of the diners in the Osiris's dining room was low.
"Why didn't you see Fiona?"
Someone asked the chef, but the chef shook his head and gave no explanation. He knew that Fiona was hit by Elizabeth's death. Fiona took care of her when Elizabeth was helping in the kitchen. Although the time was short, Elizabeth often came to the restaurant to visit Fiona after leaving the kitchen with her identity revealed. Ona sees Elizabeth as her sister.
"Official statement from the Holy Roman Empire in the universe. A few hours ago, the royal palace in the colonial satellite New Rome was subject to a terrorist attack, with explosions and exchanges of fire. The attack was quickly suppressed, and the captured attackers claimed their purpose It was to assassinate Emperor Manfred. According to the imperial spokesperson, the death of Princess Elizabeth was also committed by this group of people..."
The news was playing on the TV in the restaurant. There was no doubt that all the TV stations were reporting on what happened today, and there was no channel to switch to. After hearing the statement from HER, Old Jack cursed: "Asshole, that's nonsense! That's not what the murderer said in the live broadcast."
"Where is the young man named Lin Ao?"
"Red Eagle" next to Old Jack asked. Red Eagle has Indian blood, that's why he has such a strange name. Red Hawk is also the only member of Team B besides Old Jack to survive the Battle of Copper Valley.
Old Jack shook his head and said, "Still lying in the ward, unconscious."
"The body of Princess Elizabeth is still on the Osiris."
"That's right. After all, we brought the people here, and we are responsible for collecting the bodies... This is a bitch's war, and such a young and beautiful girl died like this."
Leaving aside the people in the restaurant, the perspective shifts to Li Youde. He heard embarrassing news from Colonel Chen Ma in the captain's room.
"What? Say it again?"
"Captain Li Youde, HER requested that the Osiris return the body of Princess Elizabeth to them. They will hold a state funeral for the princess. A ship will pick up the body in a few hours."
"this…"
Li Youde rubbed his forehead in embarrassment and did not give a reply for a long time. Colonel Chen Ma said: "I know you are very angry about what HER did. You traveled thousands of miles to send Princess Elizabeth here, but it turned out like this... But this is also human nature. What Manfred did was outraged by everyone, but he also had She has the right to bury her daughter."
Li Youde waved his hand and said: "I understand, but you don't know something, Colonel. Princess Elizabeth is actually married to Lin Ao, and they were married according to the customs of a certain place in Africa. I also let them live together on the ship. They are husband and wife. "
"this…"
"Here's the trouble. Although Manfred has the right to take back his daughter's body, Lin Ao, as the husband of Princess Elizabeth, also has the right to dispose of the body. But he is unconscious now. If I don't wait for him to do this, If I wake up and ask his opinion, he will hate me forever.”
"But we can't just refuse HER's ship to come."
"Okay, I'll think of a way."
"please!"
Li Youde turned off the communication, slumped in the chair and thought: "No matter who killed Elizabeth, it was Manfred's own fanaticism that indirectly killed his daughter. This is retribution... But Elizabeth is too pitiful like this. Wow, Lin Ao is so pitiful..."
…
The HER's spaceship to pick up Elizabeth's body was about to arrive in an hour, and the Osiris flew out of the fortress under the "Zheng He" to complete the handover of the body. At this critical moment, Lin Ao woke up.
Lin Ao, who was lying on the bed, listened to Li Youde's description of HER's request, and looked at the white ceiling of the ward with dull eyes, as if reminiscing about something. After a moment, he responded.
"Let them take away Elizabeth's body."
Li Youde didn't expect Lin Ao to agree so easily, and asked in surprise: "Are you...really relieved? They may use Elizabeth's body to make a fuss."
Tears flowed from the corners of Lin Ao's eyes, and he said: "Elizabeth and I talked about death and the concept of ashes to ashes and soil to earth. She asked me where I wanted to be buried if I died, and I said it didn't matter, although Chinese people believe that the soul returns to its hometown and rests in peace, but I feel that the soul is extinct after death, and the place of the body is meaningless. It does not matter where it is at that time. And she said that if she died, she wanted to return to the universe and return to the earth. New Rome. She feels that her soul will not be annihilated, and she hopes that she can still watch over everyone at that time, as a speck of dust in the universe."
…
In the early morning, the deck of the Osiris was full of people. On the bow side of the ship were HER soldiers. They lined up in front of the spacecraft responsible for transporting the remains, waiting to receive the remains. On the side near the bridge, there were many crew members who came to see Elizabeth off. It was impossible for the crew to go to New Rome to attend Elizabeth's funeral, so here they were saying goodbye to her.
Elizabeth's body was placed in a transparent coffin brought by HER. Except for the person who delivered the coffin to the deck, the crew stood one meter away and observed a moment of silence to show respect. Seeing this scene, people on HER's side were also moved.
At this moment, Fiona pushed a wheelchair to the bridge. Seeing the person in the wheelchair, the crew members took the initiative to move out of the way. Fiona pushed the wheelchair to Elizabeth's coffin, and the man in the wheelchair touched the coffin with his hand for a long time.
The people on HER's side didn't know who the person in the wheelchair was, but they guessed from the reaction of the Osiris crew that this person had an unusual relationship with Her Majesty the Princess, so they chose to wait silently for this person to finish collecting the Princess's body. farewell.
"Okay, let's take her home."
Lin Ao slowly withdrew his hand, and the crew of the Osiris stood on both sides of the coffin. The HER soldiers walked to the coffin in goose-step, took off their hats and bowed their heads in silence, then saluted Captain Li Youde, who represented the Osiris, and Li Youde returned the salute.
Lin Ao watched quietly as the HER soldiers respectfully carried Elizabeth's body onto the spacecraft and left. Looking at the departing spaceship, Elizabeth's phantom seemed to appear in front of his eyes, and then disappeared in an instant.
"Goodbye, Elizabeth."
