Section 374 Trickery 2
A few days passed in a flash.
The two Floating Fortresses are always at a suitable distance. Both sides watched each other vigilantly and carefully, observing the surroundings. Everyone was prepared for the conflict, but in fact nothing happened.
The Destroyer is gathered underground, seemingly ready to move, but there is no real action. It seems that some order has suppressed them, so that these cruel creatures born for battle can watch the warplanes slip away little by little.
At the same time, Hades' ground forces were really retreating - not doing anything else dangerous. For example, heavy anti-aircraft weapons that can pose a threat to floating fortresses (almost all of these weapons can only be installed in ground strongholds due to their large size and energy consumption, and are difficult to use in field combat).
In the sky, two floating fortresses glided silently along the defense line of the Stygian camp like twin stars. Everywhere they went, the ground forces on Stygian's side retreated—not the kind of hasty "retreat," but a methodical march with all the equipment and supplies in the literal sense of the word. Leave behind those ground strongholds that have become empty.
……
Lying on the bed in red and in his clothes. Although the Floating Fortress is said to fly on anti-gravity, the noise is actually very slight. However, at this time, it was on high alert, and almost all secondary systems inside and outside the fortress were activated. If you lie down and feel it carefully, you can really feel the slight movement.
It was almost the last day. The ground forces on the Stygian side have already withdrawn from contact with the Destroyer. The Destroyer still has some threat and can launch a pursuit, but anyone can tell that they have missed out on a valuable fighter. In other words, Lu Wu's side has fulfilled its promise and achieved its goal - the troops on the Stygian Moon side will definitely retreat sharply next, leaving at most a small outpost position for observation and the like. But just an outpost or something, it's not a problem.
Of course, speaking of which, the Stygian Moon is definitely making a lot of money. They have at least a hundred legions on the first line on this side, and ten times as many troops on the second line as on the first line. If you include logistics and the like, you can double it again. These troops, which were originally immobilized by the Destroyer, were now able to liberate themselves and be thrown into other fronts where the two camps were facing each other. And Huiyue's side is a big loss - the enemy who was originally trapped has been liberated in a good way. The problem is that the interests of the individual and the interests of the collective are not the same thing. No matter how much the entire camp level loses, Lu Wu's side has earned it. Because he can literally declare that he has regained control of the Banshee's Gate region. And no one can compete with him - because as mentioned earlier, the regular army has been strictly ordered to not move, and the original local army of the Banshee Gate has long been beaten to pieces by Kaicha Goat, and now it can still fight, that is, the sixteenth legion on Lu Wu's side. There's a floating fortress over here.
With such a big profit, it's hard to imagine any extra thought those Stygian Warlocks would put into it. It is not beneficial to destroy the business, but it will be a recipe for failure in the future. As the saying goes: you can question someone else's character, but you shouldn't question someone else's IQ.
However, even so, the uneasiness in my heart remains. The uneasiness is fading – it's not clear whether the danger is fading away, or if the body has grown accustomed to it and spontaneously ignores the intuition.
Isn't the danger coming from the Moon's side...... But us?
Lu Wu's approach, in a sense, is to harm the public and private interests, and harm others and benefit himself. It is impossible to say that you are not hated by others. But on the surface, he couldn't find any shortcomings in his approach. As mentioned earlier, as long as the interests are suitable, there is no shortage of precedents in history for all kinds of strange situations, such as fighting first and then cooperating, cooperating first and then cooperating first, and cooperating secretly on the surface. This is true on Earth, and it is the same on this side.
Besides, the members of the legion are mostly natives of the Banshee Gate. Although the locals don't have a good impression of the Dark Moon, they don't like the Bright Moon either. Because the situation of the refugees evacuated to the Line of Control in Huiyue is quite bad, such as Lu Wu's case is almost unique. On the contrary, it is the norm to treat refugees as a burden and to treat them badly. Lu Wu's approach to the Huiyue camp, even if it can't be said to be above board, at least it is very popular. Therefore, if anyone attacks Lu Wu and instigates rebellion on the grounds of "harming the public and private interests," it will be completely unpopular and will not succeed.
Redcoat took out the tactical panel, and through this thing, he was able to observe the data indirectly. From the display on the detection instrument, the output power of the opponent's antimatter power furnace has not increased.
Anything can be fake, but this one can't be fake. Because if you do do do it, then you must increase the engine output to the maximum, and put enough energy into the various combat systems of the floating fortress, especially the main and secondary guns.
"Father, you seem to be very concerned...... a voice sounded. The red clothes didn't turn their heads to know who was coming. "Moreover, are you too concerned? If you continue like this, you will have a short life of at least thirty years, and I suspect that your life extension surgery has been done in vain!"
"Anyway, you're not the commander of the legion, and even if you succeed, it's not you who will be the governor, so why bother so much?"
"I don't want to live up to his trust. Red-clothed replied casually. He was the only one in the entire legion who knew how to control the Floating Fortress.
As soon as the words came out, he immediately felt that awkward atmosphere. An indescribable silence enveloped the father and daughter. After a long time, Hongyi finally reluctantly turned his gaze to his daughter's face, and from the latter's eyes, he saw an indescribable trace of hatred.
"I really can't see that my father is such a trustworthy person...... Why, then, did you betray my trust in the first place?"
"At that time, I was forced to do so. After a long time, Redcoat finally replied.
"Father, do you know what kind of damage you have caused me?" Zhu Hua clasped her hands on her chest, her fingers dug deep into her arms, her nails had pierced the flesh, and the red blood stained her fingers, but she didn't notice it. "My whole life...... I was supposed to be a proud bird soaring above the sky, but now I'm a reptile struggling in the quagmire of filth. Want to go back to that sky...... The price I'm going to pay...... It's something you don't understand!"
"I know it's mine...... Responsibility ......"
"You don't know anything at all!From the moment you took advantage of my young ignorance and asked me to use all my power to add that powerful protection to you!" Zhu Hua's whole body trembled slightly. "My fate is already sealed! You don't understand how much I protect you! Who do you think is still standing here and talking today? If it weren't for the fact that I hid your traces in fate, if it wasn't for my power to keep you away from all malice, how could the Moon Warlocks allow someone like you to live until now!"
"I know, I owe you, and I'll find a way to pay it back. ”
"It's a pity that this debt is too heavy," Zhu Hua showed a twisted smile on his face. "You can't, at least for now. ”
With that, she turned to leave. The last obstacle was removed, and my father was still as innocent as ever. I don't understand the difference between a young daughter and an adult daughter. With the cooperation and cover of the red clothes, she is sure that she can accomplish her goal.
It's just that she herself doesn't understand why the slight tremor on her body has never gone away. It was as if this anger was not deliberately faked by her, but the expression of her true emotions. The feelings she had thought had been completely buried by her own reason.
Then she came outside. During this time, she didn't dare to go out, because she was afraid that she would come face-to-face with Lu Wu and reveal the secret of heaven. However, Lu Wu should still be at the command center on the other side of the Floating Fortress. Speaking of which, even if his father was exhausted, Lu Wu was also cautious. But she knew it was redundant. She has already sent the relevant information to the rear, and the intelligence of a Ranger (especially a Ranger who has repeatedly performed miraculous feats) can always be highly valued, and it is sent to the relevant units in a timely manner. So as long as the guy called Arsha still has a little brain, there will be no conflict at all.
In order to prevent the information from being intercepted (deliberately withheld, or because of the negligence of a stupid and obtuse official), she lowered the level of the information. This means that a large part of the Stygian camp will be able to get the news as soon as possible. This is a good thing for the Huiyue camp to dig into their own corners, and the people on the side of the Stygian Moon will be happy to watch the Huiyue internal friction, isn't it?
Through the porthole, you can see the floating fortress of the Stygian Moon camp in the distance.
The night was dark, and the two moons each occupied one side of the sky, and the floating fortress was shrouded in the light of the dark moon, shrouded in that pale red moonlight, as if brushed with a faint layer of blood.
In fact, the two Radiant Moon Warlocks have already left, and at this time, she can use magic to change her appearance - it doesn't take a lot of strength, just a few changes in details, which are enough to invalidate the human ability to discern. Lu Wu would treat her as someone else, and would never think that she was the Moon Ranger who met him by chance in the underground city. But for some reason, perhaps out of cautious nature, she still didn't want to do it.
"Your Excellency in Red...... Your Excellency Red, are you resting?" The voice of the tactical control panel came from the room behind him.
"Okay, what's the matter?" Although the voice of the red clothes was clear, there was an inexplicable haggard in it.
"The Legion Commander told you to come over...... It seems that the other side is asking for a call, so Lord Aqi asked everyone to be there. ”
"Call, is this the call? Okay, I'll go right away. ”
By the time he said this, the red clothes had already walked out of the door. He seemed to pause slightly as he walked past the Stygian Warlock. But perhaps it was just an illusion, as he quickly quickened his pace and disappeared into the aisle.
"At this time...... Why do you want to call?" Zhu Hua looked at the location where the red clothes disappeared suspiciously, "The matter should be almost over, right?" Even she could see that this retreat had ended smoothly. The goals of both sides have been achieved, what else is there to say on the Stygian side?
When the red coat arrived, in a room next to the command room, the electronic machine that looked like a thick pillar was already running. As mentioned earlier, wireless communication between the two camps is actually quite cumbersome and requires complex conversions. Of course, you can grab a terminal (or get one by other means) directly from the opposite side. However, almost without exception, these terminals are monitored. No one would risk exposing such a private conversation in broad daylight.
"Your Excellency Lu Wu, have you arrived?" Arsha's voice sounded from the other side.
"I'm here. Lu Wu replied from the side. At this time, the main officers in the regiment were already in place, and everyone felt that there was still a need to communicate, presumably to communicate some important things.
"First of all, thank you for your help in allowing our troops to retreat safely. Although Arsha was thanking, there was no taste of "thanks" in his voice at all. "However, we need a favor from you. ”
"What's the busy?"
"We lack a successful victory in destroying the Radiant Moon Floating Fortress, and I hope you can do it. ”
