"May the holy soul rest in eternal rest..."
The priest's eulogy echoed in the cemetery. As the eulogy ended, the luxurious coffin made of luxurious wood and gold was slowly lowered into the grave.
"Your Majesty the Emperor..."
The guard respectfully handed a shovel to Emperor Manfred. Manfred took the shovel with trembling hands and personally shoveled the first portion of soil for his daughter Elizabeth's grave. Then he had a painful expression and couldn't help crying. The shovel was thrown aside. The guards did not dare to say anything when they saw this and could only continue to fill the grave with soil.
Watching her sister's coffin being covered up little by little until it was completely invisible, the tears in the corners of Mary's eyes dried up. She didn't want to comfort her father. She felt that her sister's tragedy was entirely the result of her father's willful actions.
Become a member of the royal family who unified the earth circle, and be supported by hundreds of millions of people. In the past, her support for her father's aggressive actions was mostly due to her family's pride. She felt that supporting this kind of behavior would make the family bond stronger, and both her father and sister would be happy. But in fact, this was not Elizabeth's wish. Instead, it was because of her performance that her sister did not reveal her opportunity to her. Only now did Mary realize that her only wish was to live happily with her family, but she was already alone.
Mary laid flowers on her sister's tombstone in place of her father and wiped her tears. At this time, a man in military uniform hurried toward his destination with a serious expression, and whispered behind Manfred's luggage for a few minutes. After hearing what he said, his father's expression changed from grief to anger almost instantly, and he left with the soldier without saying a word.
Mary watched her father leave with disgusted eyes, and she secretly vowed to take over her sister's legacy.
…
The news that Manfred had to leave in a hurry even for his daughter's funeral came from North America.
Just a few hours ago, the North American Rescue Alliance located on the west coast of North America suddenly launched a batch of new humanoid weapons called "Bald Eagles" and launched a blitzkrieg against the HER North American Army.
The Bald Eagle, like the new EU's Buddy Troopers, can switch between flight mode and humanoid mode with a simple transformation, making them fast and equipped with high-strength armor and powerful firepower. The HER North American Army is not unprepared for this. They have already learned that the North American Rescue Alliance is secretly developing new weapons. However, the long-term advantage in the battle with the North American Relief Alliance made the HER North American Army paralyzed, thinking that the North American Relief Alliance's lingering strength would definitely not be able to make any waves.
However, the North American Rescue Alliance has been preparing for this day for a long time. They try their best to use all the remaining resources and talents after the nuclear attack in North America. Coupled with the secret help provided by the New European Union, the Chang'an Cooperation Organization, and the New Principality of Moscow, revenge operations were finally launched shortly after the alliance of major forces was re-formed.
In fact, the number of "bald eagles" owned by the North American Rescue Alliance is not large, only more than 20. Because of this, the HER North American Army originally wanted to directly report the victory after completely defeating them. But the situation of the battle was that the North American Rescue Alliance was advancing at a rapid pace. They relied on the mobility of the aircraft to quickly destroy every known HER stronghold and then attack the next one, without giving HER any time to assemble and organize. Until these "bald eagles" were almost exhausted and had to stop, 13% of the HER-occupied area in North America had fallen.
This is a great shame and humiliation for HER. North America was not able to conquer as soon as possible due to various reasons, but now it was hit hard by its former defeated opponent. The terrible thing is that not long ago the New Republic of Gran Colombia announced a break from its alliance with HER. In fact, a lot of the combat power of the North American HER defenders fell to Mexico to confront the New Republic of Gran Colombia. Presumably, the North American Rescue Alliance also took advantage of this opportunity. If they join forces with the New Republic of Gran Colombia in South America to attack from the west and south, the situation of the HER defenders in North America will not be optimistic, and they are in urgent need of support.
Manfred is not short of weapons now. He has HAL99999. The huge automated factory is working hard to produce weapons equipped with AI for him. So far, a terrifying number of Yingyang MK2s have been produced. He believes that as long as he waits and waits for the AI army to become larger in number before throwing these weapons into the battlefield, everything will be fine.

"Breaking through the atmosphere! The equipment conditions in each area are currently being tested. There are no abnormal conditions in Area 1..."
"Finally back to the universe..."
Li Youde took off his helmet, and the sweat inside floated in front of his eyes due to the loss of gravity, like small transparent glass beads. This is something that absolutely cannot happen under the Earth's gravity environment. For a cosmic person like Li Youde, seeing this familiar scene will make him feel at ease.
"Locate the navigation to Mycenae and let's go back directly!"
"Captain, there is another ship from the Wan Chamber of Commerce that wants to supply us."
"Oh? I was so nervous about breaking through the atmosphere for the first time that I forgot about it. Thank you for reminding me, Jessica, help me contact them. They are nearby, right?"
Receiving supplies in the space near the earth was impossible last week. Because HER originally deployed a large number of troops outside the atmosphere to form a blockade, the last time Osiris returned to the universe, it had a fierce battle with these HER troops. But now the situation is different. After the alliance was established, all major forces began to attack HER's blockade. Although there is no unified military action between them, their continuous attacks have forced the originally watertight blockade to deploy troops everywhere for support. The Osiris chose to break through the atmosphere now and receive supplies from the Wan Chamber of Commerce at this coordinate. Even after receiving intelligence from the alliance, this generation will not have HER troops to block it for 24 hours.
It is strange to say that Wan's Chamber of Commerce suddenly contacted Osiris two days before it returned to the universe to provide them with supplies. The reason was to support the troops resisting HER. It was regarded as a spontaneous donation by Wan's Chamber of Commerce. This kind of behavior was not allowed during the war. rare. The current Osiris is not short of supplies, but considering that the Wan Chamber of Commerce has a lot of background, it will be very troublesome to refute their face, and may even affect the diplomacy and economy of Mycenae, so Li Youde agreed to accept their offer. supply. Besides, there is no need to refuse gifts from others.
"Speaking of which...how does Wan's Chamber of Commerce know that this area is safe now? If you have money, you are really smart..."
Jessica interrupted Li Youde's thinking: "There is a person on the Wan Chamber of Commerce's ship who wants us to give him a ride to Mycenae."
"Huh? Why do you suddenly make such a request?"
Li Youde suddenly became alert. He felt that Wan's Chamber of Commerce's sudden courtesy had a purpose.
Seeing how nervous he looked, Jessica couldn't help but smile and said: "Captain, we are all familiar with the person who asked to come on the ship. He is Dr. Hohenheim. He was on the ship when Major General Shepard was still the captain."
…
"Dr. Hohenheim!"
"Lin Ao!"
Lin Ao and Dr. Hohenheim, who was wearing a brown coat, met again at the port of the Osiris. After seeing each other, they both jumped up and floated towards each other with the strength of their feet. However, they were a little excited to see each other after a long separation and used all their strength. , the two people who originally planned to have a simple hug directly bumped into each other.
"Ouch!"
"Doctor! Are you okay?" Lin Ao asked worriedly.
"Hahahaha, it's okay, Lin Ao, you've become stronger!"
Lin Ao stretched out his hand to help the doctor carry his luggage, but found that he only brought a simple suitcase. This was a bit unexpected. In the past, Hohenheim always brought things that had to be transported by truck or boat.
"Doctor, this is all you brought?"
Before Hohenheim could speak, Li Youde floated towards them and greeted:
"Hello, Dr. Hohenheim! I am Li Youde, who succeeded Rear Admiral Shepard as the captain of this ship. You must be here on behalf of the Moore Chamber of Commerce, right? Why did you come on the Wan Chamber of Commerce's ship? You are not a commercial A competitor?"
Hohenheim scratched the back of his head and said awkwardly: "Well...I have now defected from the Moore Chamber of Commerce..."
