"The remnants of HER have invaded the Mycenaean space. There are three Eagle-type aircraft, one of which is red. Now three enemy aircraft are outside the agricultural satellite 3yj. The Osiris is dispatched urgently and invites the Humanoid Weapons Team A. Prepare to attack!"

"Red Eagle Style?!"

Hearing the announcement, Lin Ao, who originally ran to the hangar, suddenly stopped. There is only one person he knows who can fly the red Eagle. Could it be...

Thinking of this, Lin Ao's footsteps speeded up unconsciously, and he ran towards the hangar at a speed that almost knocked down all the people passing by.

"There are only three Yingyangs. We can just let our A team carry the 'transport aircraft'. There is no need to dispatch the battleships, right?" Miaohaus complained with a yawn.

"The captain is worried that the enemy has an ambush. After all, the enemy who attacked Mycenae last time sent five warships." Bart said.

"So I said there is no need to go to war. They must be just a bunch of HER remnants who became space pirates."

"Follow your orders, Milhaus."

Miehaus waved his hand. Bart had already said so and he could only obey the order. At this time, Lin Ao ran over panting and said: "Sergeant Bart! Can you let me join this battle?"

"Eh? This... shouldn't be necessary, but you should ask Lieutenant Anton. If he agrees, I have no objection."

Miaohaus walked up to Lin Ao and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Hey brother Lin Ao, you must have taken away all our credit when you came here! Hahaha!"

Lin Ao shook his head. He ignored Miaohaus's lame joke, but said seriously: "I care about that red Eagle... I want to confirm it myself, and I will go to Lieutenant Anton to ask for permission!" "

Seeing the back of Lin Ao leaving, Miaohaus asked Bart in confusion: "The red eagle style, does Lin Ao think it is the red knight? It's impossible, wasn't the red knight killed by Lin Ao?"

"I heard that the Red Knight gave up calling for help and fell into the atmosphere in order to keep Lin Ao alive. Lin Ao still couldn't let it go. But if he fell into the atmosphere with an immobile machine, he would definitely not survive."

Here, Lin Ao had just found Lieutenant Anton and had just finished applying to fight with Team A when someone shouted in the hangar: "No need to attack! The invaders have retreated!"

"Ah?" Lin Ao couldn't understand why the enemy retreated so quickly after the invasion. However, Lieutenant Anton understood what was going on immediately and left in a hurry after telling Lin Ao to stand by.

Sure enough, after a while, the radio was also talking about the enemy's retreat. The crew members who had just been busy in the hangar were complaining about the enemy's problems, and they had been busy for a long time in vain.

"In that case, can I go back and rest?"

As Lin Ao was thinking this, his personal terminal rang. It was Lieutenant Anton's message asking him to come to the tactics room for a meeting.



"Lin Ao is here."

"Let him in."

"Report! Warrant Officer Lin Ao, follow the instructions from your superiors!"

"Sit down, Lin Ao, watch a video first."

Lin Ao sat down next to Lieutenant Anton and scanned the tactical room. He found that in addition to Captain Li Youde who had just sat him down, there were also VR projections of Rear Admiral Shepard and the captains of the other two warships whom he had only met a few times. Lieutenant Anton and several staff officers on the Osiris. Such a large-scale meeting must be of great significance.

The large screen in the tactical room began to play a video, which showed the actions of the three Yingyangs that had just invaded the Mycenaean space. According to the video reaction, the leading red Eagle went on standby after invading the space domain. The other two ordinary Eagles retreated together with the red Eagle after destroying several automatic turrets. After the video was played, Li Youde asked Lin Ao: "Lin Ao, in the whole of Mycenae, you are the only one who knows the Red Knight's phone number best. Can you confirm through the video whether it is the Red Knight's phone number?"

"The red Eagle in the video does look a lot like the Red Knight's Xiahou Dun, but it is definitely not the Red Knight. He has fallen into the atmosphere and died."

"are you sure?"

"I am sure that I saw his body falling into the atmosphere with my own eyes. He was unable to escape from the body at that time."

"Then...is this a fake? Lin Ao, the person who just invaded the Mycenaean space claimed to be the Red Knight. After the empire collapsed, he gathered a large number of followers to rebuild the empire, and the first step was funds. To put it bluntly, his invasion just now was to threaten and extort. He wants Mycenae to provide 5 billion star coins, otherwise he will lead a large army to attack Mycenae in a few days."

A staff officer continued Li Youde's words and added: "According to the Star Alliance's intelligence, there is indeed a group of HER remnants gathered under the command of the fake Red Knight, with at least three battleships' strength."

Li Youde continued: "It is absolutely impossible to give 5 billion star coins to him. Since Lin Ao has confirmed that it is a counterfeit, there is no need to be afraid of him."

"blackmail??"

Lin Ao could not have imagined that someone would take advantage of the Red Knight's reputation and pretend to be him after his death. If the Red Knight were still alive, I don't know what he would say if he knew about this.

"Five billion... This is not the first time that pirates have dared to blackmail us. This is the first time that a lion has opened his mouth like this."

"Let's not mention whether the 5 billion can be taken out. The war is not over yet. How can we give the money to the pirates?"

"Everyone, there is no need to discuss the topic of 5 billion anymore. We will not compromise. Now we have to consider how to deploy our defenses. We don't yet know the time and direction of the enemy's attack."

"I mentioned before that the Star Alliance has information about them, right? Can we ask them about the location of this remnant group? How about we take the initiative?"

"No, they will definitely run away and then come back to take revenge. We need to beat them back with an iron fist here and don't dare to do it again."

"Now that Mycenae has three warships, we can only divide Mycenae into three defense zones and let the three warships take charge of defense respectively."

"That's all. There are only so many soldiers we can use."

The meeting turned into a discussion among the staff about how to divide the defense zone. Lin Ao couldn't get in the conversation. He whispered to Lieutenant Anton next to him: "Lieutenant, if this fake Red Knight appears in the Osiris' defense zone, please send me to kill him. Kill that impostor, and this rabble will scatter like birds and beasts."

Anton looked at him and said: "I appreciate your attitude and will ask the captain for instructions. However, even if the enemies are remnants, they are still soldiers. We should not underestimate the enemy too much. It is time to obey orders."

"yes."

For some reason, after learning that someone was pretending to be the Red Knight, Lin Ao felt angry for no reason. He didn't have much feelings for the Red Knight. But as a warrior, he didn't want to see the name of the Red Knight being used and corrupted in this way.



Lake Tekapo, New Zealand more than a month ago

In the early morning, two farmers were riding horses around Lake Tekapo, chatting and wandering. As they walked, they suddenly discovered something they had never seen before on the lakeside. I saw that the thing was several meters high. Although most of it was in the lake, the whole thing was black as if it had been burnt.

The two quickly thought that a meteor seemed to have fallen nearby last night, but they didn't expect it to fall here.

Now New Zealand is actually controlled by the remnants of HER, so they don't want to meddle in other people's affairs and cause trouble, and are ready to leave here quickly. But after they took a few more looks, they realized that it was actually the wreckage of the Yingyang type.

The two looked at each other nervously, and after some discussion, they decided to go forward and check. If they didn't report the information, it would be even more troublesome for the remnants of HER to come to their door later.

After the discussion was over, a farmer rode forward to check, while the other stayed there and muttered to himself: "It probably fell from the universe. With the machine body burned like this, the driver inside must have been burned..."

He was thinking this, but the farmer who stepped forward to check suddenly shouted: "Johnny! There is a man here!"

"What? Qibelin, don't touch it, wait for me to come over!"

The farmer named Johnny quickly arrived at the place where Zeppelin was. Sure enough, he saw a man lying on the ground next to the charred remains of the machine. He was motionless and did not know whether he was dead or alive.

"Qibelin...could this guy crawl out of the burnt body?"

"Ah...it looks like his whole body is burned, and his face is so hot that he can't see his facial features. It's a miracle that he can still lie down a few meters away from the machine in this state..."

"It's a miracle that he wasn't burned inside the machine when it was burned like that. Is he still alive?"

"It's so embarrassing. Judging from how twisted his leg is, it must have been broken, so he crawled out."

Johnny bent down to test the breath of the fallen man, and his veins popped out in fear:

"Qibelin...he, he is actually still alive! Hurry! Regardless of whether he is from HER or not, we can't just die and take him back to my home!"
