88 Chapter 088 - Helpless
The news that Prince Ax had not been able to bring the marshal out of the iQue reached the upper echelons of the military department, causing an immediate panic.
Originally, it was because the mermaid priests of JΓΆrmungandr led by Chen Jing were in urgent need of a high-level guide, but now there is another reason why Mrs. Reynolds must be sent to the Fifth Star Zone.
Fortunately, the Guide Guild quickly replied, and Mr. Enoch and Mrs. Renault, who had just returned to the Federation, were escorted by the Union troops that night to the Fifth Star Zone.
During this time, Madame Reynaud also contacted Prince Ax and asked about the specific situation.
"Your Highness, good evening." Madame Reynolds, as usual, did not panic in the slightest because of the urgency of the situation, and her gentle expression and tone made Acers feel a little calmer.
"Good evening, ma'am." Akers responded.
"This is the president of our Federal Guide Association, Mr. Enoch." Madame Reynaud introduced the little prince.
Acers had long seen an old man of fifty or sixty years of age sitting beside Madame Reynolds, with a beard, who looked like a well-read scholar with wisdom and open-mindedness in his eyes.
"Hello, Mr. Enoch, please advise me if we are meeting you for the first time." Axes immediately greeted politely.
"Your Highness is polite, I have heard of His Highness's name for a long time, and when I see it today, it is indeed worthy of its name." Mr. Enoch smiled and nodded to the little prince.
- Well deserved? Does it refer to his appearance, or is it something else?
Although Ax didn't know what the other word was about him, Mr. Enoch's tone was quite sincere, not the kind of hypocritical politeness or ridicule.
It was the first time he had ever met the president of the Federal Guide Association.
It is said that the president seldom stayed at Silst, and often spent eight or nine months of the year going out to give lectures, academic exchanges, and carry out overseas activities on behalf of the Federal Guide Association.
During the nine months that Ax "came" to the Federation, the other party briefly returned to Sister, but soon left again, and happened to miss out with Ax.
- Unexpectedly, the first time I met with the **oss of the Guide Guild was on the holographic screen...... I didn't expect it to be because I wanted to help him solve something he couldn't handle!
Just as Akes was about to take the initiative to mention Chen Jing's situation, Mr. Enoch spoke first: "Actually, this communication is just to meet His Highness in advance...... There is very little help we can provide with the matter of the marshal. β
Seeing Akes' surprised expression, Mr. Enoch continued, "When I say this, I don't mean to be perfunctory or to shirk any responsibility, but we don't know enough about the Dark Sentinels. β
Madame Reynolds added: "The few dark sentinels that have appeared in history, in the case of a smaller number of god-level guides, only the guides who combine with them have a way to enter their consciousness, and Mr. Enoch and I have tried one after another, but without success. β
As the only dark sentinel of the Federation, Chen Jing did not find a compatible guide until he was twenty-eight years old.
In the "long" years before this, as the two most capable and experienced members of the Federal Guide Association, President Enoch and Mrs. Reynolds had more than one "exchange" with Chen Jing under the commission of the military department.
But in the end, they were quickly rejected by Chen Jing's consciousness and ended in failure.
After learning that Chen Jing and Prince Ax had completed the temporary marking, but the little prince had still failed, President Enoch and Mrs. Reynolds knew that the situation they had to face could be very complicated.
And this is not a problem that can be solved by being knowledgeable and experienced.
The reason why President Enoch had to explain to Prince Ax in advance was to tell him that even if they reached the Fifth Sector, the main job would be to settle the matter of JΓΆrmungandr's chief guide.
For the marshal, they were equally helpless, so they could only let Prince Ax keep groping and try it himself.
However, the opportunity was rare, and Ax still described Chen Jing's situation to the two elders, and they analyzed and discussed it, believing that the reason why Ax was excluded was that there was a problem with fictitious memories in the final analysis.
But what exactly went wrong, and what did not conform to the "authenticity", they have not seen or experienced it with their own eyes, so naturally there is no way to know.
"I'm afraid you have to try more in this regard, since Admiral Bimont has appeared, then you can also consult him in detail, when the insect tide broke out at the gate of the Far Star Domain back then, what other details are worth noting." Mr. Enoch suggested.
"Okay, thank you." After Akes failed for the second time today, he was actually a little bit of a master of the six gods, and although he didn't get a definite answer now, he still got a lot of comfort when he learned that the two elders of the Guide Association were coming to the Fifth Star Zone.
- At least with professionals around, I feel a little confident......
"Hopefully, before we reach the Fifth Sector, you can take the Marshal out of the fugue." At the end of the newsletter, President Enoch blessed Ax.
"Thank you!" Akers had the same desire.
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
After ending their correspondence with President Enoch, Ax returned to Chen Jing's room.
Because Chen Jing's body was not injured, and he no longer needed a sterile environment and other treatments, and whether he could wake up and see his consciousness completely, Admiral Bemont sent the marshal back to his residence so that Prince Ax could accompany him to take care of it.
What they claimed to the outside world was that the marshal had been mentally and physically exhausted after entering the frenzy, and now that the battle was over, he needed to recuperate for a while.
Such half-truths sound more true, and explain why the marshal did not immediately appear in the army.
But how long it will last, no one can predict...... After all, now they are still on the front line!
With Jermungard suffering heavy losses and the only chief guide being captured alive by the Federation, it is impossible for the other party to remain unmoved.
Either launch further provocations, or contact them for negotiations...... In any case, if the marshal could not attend in person at that time, the other party might be able to detect something.
Akers originally wanted to try to enter Chen Jing's consciousness again before going to bed, but was stopped by Lin Zexi, who was accompanying him.
Use empathy to construct memory fragments within the sentinel's consciousness...... These require a lot of mental energy, and if you want to act three times in a row in such a short period of time, even an iron person will not be able to bear it.
Although the marshal's delay in sobering up made people anxious, Lin Zexi also knew that if His Highness Akers did not pay attention to rest at this time, he might drag his body down.
"Your Highness, you can rest first and try again tomorrow morning." Lin Zexi persuaded Akers.
"The general is like this, where can I sleep," Akers shook his head, "I talked to President Enoch and Mrs. Reynolds today, and I feel that I have gained a lot, and maybe I can find some breakthroughs." β
Lin Zexi couldn't persuade the little prince, and suddenly thought of something, and said to Akers: "Your Highness, do you want to talk to your aunt?" β
"Mrs. Lin?!" Akers looked at Lin Zexi in surprise.
The other party immediately explained: "In this world, apart from you, the closest guide to the marshal is my aunt, and perhaps she can provide some advice on this matter." β
Although asking Mrs. Lin about the general means telling her that the general is not doing well now.
However, in a hurry, of course, the most critical issues should be solved first.
I believe that even if the general comes to his senses, he will not blame them for making their own decisions.
Thinking of this, Lin Zexi felt that this was a good idea, so he said to Akers: "There is exactly a twelve hour time difference between us here and my aunt's side, and now communication will not disturb my aunt's rest." β
It hasn't been too long since Akes last "met" Mrs. Lin.
Mrs. Lin regularly communicates with her youngest son, and Axes, who is a day student, will play with Xiao Zhengtai for a while at night, so occasionally Mrs. Lin calls Xiao Zhengtai, and Axes will talk to Mrs. Lin on the holographic screen.
But unlike the usual gossip before, this time Akers felt very guilty and uneasy.
- He is obviously the closest person to the general, but he can't play the role he should have...... If Mrs. Lin knew, she would still be worried about the general, and I don't know if she would blame him......
But after thinking about it like this, Akers felt that it didn't matter if he was blamed by the other partyβas long as he could make the general's situation better, he was willing to try any method!
After making this decision, Ax first sent a message to Mrs. Lin, saying that he wanted to see her and had important things to ask.
Mrs. Lin quickly replied, saying that she could now connect with Akers at any time.
Seeing Mrs. Lin's reply, Akers was very excited, and he immediately sent a communication request, and the other party was immediately connected.
Mrs. Lin's gentle and loving face appeared on the holographic screen.
"Your Highness, I should tell you, good evening." Mrs. Lin said softly.
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
After listening to Akx's description and understanding the general situation, Mrs. Lin asked in detail: "What do you mean is that Chen Jing did not enter the madness at the beginning, but suddenly entered the madness when he heard that the situation of the main ship was becoming more and more dangerous. β
"Yes, madam, that's what Colonel Lin Zexi told me." Akers replied.
The other party thought for a moment and guessed: "Judging from your description, it seems that JΓΆrmungad's target was the main ship from the beginning, perhaps it should be said that their target was you, Chen Jing's guide." β
This point Qiuqiu had also analyzed with Ax, so he nodded and said, "At present, it seems that this is indeed the case, they should want to affect the entire First Legion by eliminating the general's guide." β
Although this may sound a bit arrogant and narcissistic, everyone is vaguely aware of it, so it is not an unrealistic conjecture.
"That's basically certain, Chen Jing took the initiative to enter a state of madness because he was worried about your situation." Mrs. Lin has been stationed at the gate of the Far Star Domain with her husband, Admiral Chen Xing, for many years, and she understands this behavior of her eldest son very well.
Hearing this, Ax lowered his head slightly-the general entered the madness for him, and he knew this very well, so he felt even more guilty and uncomfortable!
Seeing that the little prince was depressed, Mrs. Lin immediately comforted him warmly: "This is what he should do, this is out of instinct, if a sentry can't do it to such a level for his guide, then how can he be worthy of those mountain alliances and sea oaths?" β
Speaking of this, she was suddenly silent for a moment, and then said to Akers: "The bell must be tied to the bell, since he is in a state of madness because of His Highness, then why don't we think in a different direction...... Don't let him think about the battle, maybe let him think about you, and he will immediately feel a sense of substitution! 166 Reading Network
