The space between the orbit of the Earth and the orbit of Mars may only account for a small part of the solar system on a star map, but when you are actually in that space, you will feel that its space is really unimaginably large. Humanity has colonized the universe for two hundred years, divided it into eight sectors, and built hundreds of colonial satellite cities. There are still many areas that are uncontrollable and undeveloped.
Due to the war in the area, many uninhabited space areas have a small number of HER troops on standby to cut off the resource transportation channels of major forces. After the new queen of the empire announced her surrender, most of these isolated small groups of imperial troops chose to surrender to the nearest colonial satellite city-state. However, many troops began to rush to a mineral asteroid called "SG3145" in a certain space area in the first sector, because they heard a rumor:
The legendary hero of the Empire, the Red Knight, did not die. He escaped to the asteroid and recruited the remnants of HER there to rebuild the Empire.
For the soldiers of the empire, the Red Knight is an absolute idol and the reason why many people join the army. Although he had previously been convicted of treason by Emperor Manfred, many Imperial soldiers did not believe their idol could commit treason. Now that their idol has "resurrected" and announced that he was framed, this naturally caters to their ideas. Now that the empire is falling apart, the popularity of the Red Knight is naturally overwhelming. In less than a week, he had gathered a sizable army.
During this period, the news that the Alliance supported Zhuge Daozi in establishing a new empire and accepted him as a member of the Alliance had already spread to all corners of the Earth Circle. However, the "resurrected" Red Knight said that the villain who framed him was Zhuge Daozi, and appealed to the imperial soldiers not to join the new empire established by Zhuge Daozi, which gained the recognition and support of many people.
The whereabouts of Queen Mary, the representative of the real empire, are still unknown.

Colonial satellite Myceniosiris
In the gym, two soldiers chatted:
"Hey, have you heard that a lot of HER remnants have gone to the moon to gather."
"I came across this news after watching the video, but it was posted by a small media with little authority."
"If you search further, you can find videos taken by moon residents. It's true!"
Another soldier next to him heard what they were talking about and said, "There was news before that the alliance absorbed the remnants of HER to form a new empire. These remnants should be the troops of the new empire."
"Then what do they mean by gathering on the moon? It's so mysterious that it seems like they're going to start another war."
"The Alliance is too embarrassed to publicize it in a big way. After the war was over, it did not account for HER's crimes. Instead, it supported a new empire. Many members of the new empire are still war criminals."
"Ah, yes, I have relatives in Austria. There have been demonstrations over the past few days against the alliance's shielding of imperial war criminals, but no authoritative media has reported this matter."
"What is the name of the leader of the new empire?"
"Zhuge Daozi."
"Yes, this guy has clearly besieged the alliance leaders in the Himalayas for a long time, and the alliance can still support him."
"Yes, even Princess Elizabeth, who was on the ship before, died there. She was not older than my sister. The guy who had an affair with her was so miserable. They all lived in the same room."
"Hey! Keep your voice down..."
The soldier who mentioned Elizabeth was gagged, and then he realized that behind him was Lin Ao, who was practicing pulling strength. Everyone on the Osiris knew about Lin Ao and Elizabeth. After Elizabeth's death, everyone maintained a tacit understanding and tried not to mention it in public, especially when Lin Ao was around.
"Forehead…"
The soldier who mentioned Elizabeth shuddered in fright and carefully observed Lin Ao's reaction, wondering if he heard the gossip he said.
Lin Ao was working out with his back to them. He stopped moving and remained motionless like a stone statue for more than ten seconds. Then he stood up, took his things and left without saying a word. He left with him. "Spider Cat" Thoth.
"Oh, I thought you were going to have a fit," Toth said.
"What they said is true. Elizabeth and I are indeed lovers and we have made a lifelong commitment. What they said is not exaggerated. What happened to me?"
Although Lin Ao said this, there was obviously some anger in his tone.
"No, I didn't mean they mentioned Elizabeth, but Zhuge Daozi. The news that Zhuge Daozi became the leader of the new empire and received support from the Alliance has been out for several days. I thought you would be extremely angry and felt that the Alliance I betrayed you and did something, but you were very calm."
"calm?"
Lin Ao stopped, turned to look at Toth at his feet and said:
"What reason do I have to be angry with the Alliance? I am the only one who suspects that Zhuge Daozi is the real culprit behind the murder of Elizabeth, and there is no evidence."
"You swore to avenge Elizabeth. Now that Zhuge Daozi is so powerful and has the support of the Alliance, how do you want to take revenge? In fact, it is right for the Alliance to support him. After all, there is still a big enemy like H. Zhuge Daozi can them Provide additional power. Even if we want to liquidate HER's crimes, we have to wait until humanity survives this crisis."
Lin Ao was speechless for a long time and then said: "I will not let H succeed. I will not die before Zhuge Daozi is executed! Until then... I want to take a good rest."
"If H is defeated and Zhuge Daozi dies, what are you going to do?"
"I...I will go back to West Asia first to find Hassan and see how they are doing. If they are in difficulty, I will stay there to help them, and then...I don't know where to go. I'm afraid I will continue to stay. Become a soldier in Mycenae. By the way! I have to find Elizabeth’s sister first. She is still missing. I have to find her and protect her on Elizabeth’s behalf!”
"Well... no matter where you are going, I will continue to follow you until I find my way."
Only then did Lin Ao's tense face reveal a smile, and he said to Tot: "Is this good? It seems that the crew has regarded you as my pet. Before, a young lady asked if I could pet you. Aren't you very nice?" Dislike it?"
"Huh... I just need to rely on this body for the time being. Once I study the structure of this body, I will find a way to transform it and give myself a new body. It can be a humanoid, female body."
"What? You, are you a woman?! I never knew..."
"I have no gender! Don't apply the concept of biology to me. I think women's bodies are more valuable for research than men's. For example, as an AI, if I can one day transform a body that is very similar to humans , then can I get pregnant? Can I give birth to life through pregnancy? If the mother is an AI, what is the child? This is a direction worthy of research..."
Lin Ao waved his hand quickly: "Stop talking! It's too weird! And if you become a woman and stay with me, there will be a lot of strange rumors!"
"What are you thinking...With the current scientific level and resource conditions, by the time I transform a perfect body, you will be long gone."
"I really didn't think you would want to study this kind of thing..."
Before Lin Ao could recover from the shock, he heard an alarm sounding inside the ship:
"A HER force illegally entered Mycenae and the Osiris entered combat readiness!"
