Section 361 Choice
"But," Ivan said. "As far as I know, due to what happened before...... It is estimated that all floating fortresses have undergone a complete overhaul. On the side of the Stygian Moon, the front line is in urgent need of combat support, so it is quite chaotic. The personnel are said to have been regrouped after being disbanded at random. β
"Experienced, but not just experienced. Red-clothed earnestly recalled, if Ivan looked closely at his face, he would see an indescribable sadness rise from the depths of his eyes. "He has the ability to take over a floating fortress in a very short period of time and use it to its full potential. β
"So powerful?"
"There have been similar incidents. The red coat said, and the sorrow became more and more intense, turning into remorse. "He's a very good talker...... "Knowing how to talk to people who are completely strangers, whether they are superiors or subordinates." In this kind of deep and sincere dialogue, he will use every bit of affinity and cunning of an orator to create a harmonious and friendly atmosphere, and in the midst of laughter, he will trick the other person into saying more information, and perfectly disguise his true mood swings.
"How can one be so good at talking?"
He will give high praise to the opinions of each of his interlocutors and praise them for their contributions, and according to the different personalities and preferences of each subject, he will show the most suitable side of his personality to the other person, so that the other person will unconsciously face him with the most sincere and frank attitude. Of course, he will also provide all sorts of hints about interests. By the time it was all over, they were basically in his hands. β
Redcoat paused. "As a commander, he can only be described as experienced in tactics, but nothing else. But when it comes to boosting morale and giving full play to the initiative of his subordinates, he is a real genius. He is the best base commander, especially for defense in difficult situations, as he is able to keep his men motivated in a hard, protracted battle. β
"Since he has this ability, then he must also be in terms of sycophancy," Ivan thought about another aspect. "Excellent, since you're a good defender...... Why did you command the Floating Fortress?"
"He was able to satisfy each of his superiors and thus have the utmost trust and kindness in him. From ground troops to floating fortresses, this is a lot of progress. Unfortunately, how to respond to this trust and kindness depends entirely on the value that the boss has for him.
"That...... You used to be friends?" Ivan was a little surprised. Of course, it was normal for him to ask this question, and many people speculated that the red coat was someone from the Dark Moon, or maybe a middle-level officer or something. In any case, such escapes are not uncommon. Just like on Earth, a wanted criminal in one country becomes an innocent civilian in another, and the world is no different. Often, though, those who are valuable (either warlocks or special people with some secrets) will be the first to ask for protection. And those who have no value need to live incognito in small border places. From this point alone, the highest status of the red coat in the past was that of a mid-level officer. This type of person is, in a sense, like a small stone on the side of the road. No one will pursue the origin of a small stone.
"Not a friend. Redcoat replied. "It's just that he can only command a floating fortress until now...... It's a little puzzling. In my opinion, he should have been qualified to command a floating fortress formation. β
"Maybe it's just fate. Ivan seemed a little emotional.
"Fate plays tricks...... "Red-clothed also smiled.
The conversation ended here, because the front was already Red's private quarters. Ivan said goodbye and left.
Hongyi opened the room and saw his daughter sitting on a chair idle, looking at him with a playful expression.
He's been busy with things inside the Floating Fortress for the past few days - although he has been doing it all the time, but in fact, he has been able to teach the ground troops in the real sense of the word, so that they can control the various systems in the Floating Fortress a little more correctly, instead of flipping the switch and standing aside and doing nothing.
But how to put it, this matter cannot be completed overnight, and it can even be said that it is not something that he alone can teach. Now, the Floating Fortress is indeed in their hands, and no one, including the high-ranking people on the Huiyue side, can influence the Legion's decision. But on the other hand, it is impossible to find qualified operators from outside.
So he didn't come back to his room for a few days. Sleeping is also a random place to deal with the past. Many in the Legion thought he was overzealous, but in fact, he knew that he wasn't that good, but that he had a fear of returning to his quarters.
Other things are fine, but this thing...... Red-clothed couldn't help but sigh. He knew it was dangerous, for himself, for everyone.
"The Ranger outfit...... Didn't you bring it back?"
"I thought you wouldn't ask. The Stygian Warlock spread his hands. "It's a shame I couldn't bring it back. It's broken. She muttered softly. And it was damaged before it started, so it didn't work at all.
"I don't have a second set for you. Redcoat said. "This time, the Floating Fortress will not stop halfway through, and will return to the city of Gashe. I can't find a chance to let you go in this case. β
"I didn't want to leave. Her daughter shook her head. "I made an accident, and it's really hard to say what will happen if I go back now, so it's safer to stay in the Floating Fortress. β
"You didn't mean...... Are the Rangers strongly restrained?"
"Ha, that's just to prevent the captives from divulging secrets, but to limit the time of the mission...... No idiot can make such a limitation. Zhu Hua leaned lazily on the back of the chair. "You see, I'm on a mission right now, but I just judge that it's necessary to continue. I didn't reveal the Rangers' secrets to anyone, nor did I have any intention of surrendering to Huiyue, so of course I'll be safe. She paused. "That Lu Wu ......," she lowered her voice a little. "Want to take control of the Banshee's Gate?"
"How do you know?"
"Your meeting is so loud that you can hear it if you have ears. Are you really going to help him?"
"Why do you think it's fake?"
"For I thought that my father had always been arrogant, and would not live under the fence. Even if it is, it's just a faΓ§ade and a puppet to fill the faΓ§ade......"
"Time changes a person's. β
"That's right, a man who even calculates his daughter shouldn't have such a thing as 'arrogance' for a long time, right?" Zhu Hua smiled, but the smile was like a sharp knife. "I heard them talk about the name 'Amber', who is she?"
"A high-level warlock of the Radiant Moon...... For some reason, with Lu Wu. Redcoat replied. One of his hands unconsciously rested on his chest, as if trying to soothe his heart.
"A young woman?"
"It's very young...... We all thought they were a couple. Redcoat said.
"When they spoke, it was as if the amber was seriously injured and unconscious...... Zhu Hua remembered what he had encountered in the underground world. If you can...... Taking out an unconscious warlock is really a good deal. Unfortunately not. She knew it was stupid. Anyway, she had an archon next to her! Without the Rangers' equipment, she was completely unconfident that she would be able to avoid such an existence, and as for the head-on confrontation, it was more akin to mythology. Although there was no conflict, she had seen the acumen and power of an archon in the Underground City (specifically, on the path to the Underground City). "Haha, I can understand why Lu Wu is taking this risk, he should be with Amber. β
The difference between an ordinary person and a high-level warlock (especially a high-level warlock who is likely to have a special value) is simply greater than that of a toad and a swan, to the level of a phoenix and a leech. Although the power of the warlock is undoubtedly passed down from the matrilineal line in terms of statistical science, superstition still occupies a lot of space - for no reason, but everyone believes that parents also have an influence on the power of their children. Especially Dad.
According to the results of scientific statistics, if the father is an excellent and outstanding ordinary person, the probability of the child being a warlock will increase. But in fact, this statistical result is not accepted by everyone. In many places, marriage matches within warlocks, especially between high-level warlocks, are still practiced, and strength is used as a criterion.
According to this traditional concept, with Lu Wu's "Legion Commander" grade, it is not worthy of amber at all. But if he can earn himself the status of governor, even in a desolate and remote frontier land, then he does qualify to be with Amber.
"Father, do you want Lu Wu to succeed or fail?"
Hongyi didn't answer, just looked at her daughter silently.
"There is a chance, and it is said that the air force of Kecha Goyat does not have the ability to attack on the ground...... They are just tools for air combat and transportation, and to put it bluntly, they are for floating fortresses. Therefore, the ground legions of the Stygian Moon are not considered to be large in number, but they are not equipped with the super-large anti-aircraft weapons that are usually used to attack floating fortresses. In the event of a victory in the air battle in this case, there is almost no threat to the ground forces. Zhu Hua said. In other words, a duel between floating fortresses directly determines everything. Still," she laughed. "There's one factor here that no one else knows about, and that's me. β
"I have sent the news to the rear that Kaicha Goyat is dead," Zhu Hua continued. "If you need it, I can also send back some plausible and misleading information. Although this kind of information cannot be said to be decisive, it should be okay to say that it has a misleading effect and makes people make wrong judgments. Of course, I can also pass on the real information intact, and once this happens, Lu Wu will not even have a chance of winning. β
"This is a ...... of victory and defeat," Zhu Hua said. "In a sense, it's in your hands, Father. β
"So, what do you want?"
"Ha, I don't want anything. Zhu Hua tilted his head lazily and sprinkled his long black hair on his shoulders like a waterfall. "I just want to do my father a favor and put such an opportunity in your hands. β
