"When we first met, my name was Linda Vasti and I was his wife." Time stopped at this moment, and the two looked at each other in silence, as if there was an electric current between their eyes...... Of course that's not possible, and it's not a white album.

"Huh? The Admiral is married? Obviously he looks so young. When we first met, I was the general flagship of the Sea Fog Fleet, Yamato. The two women shook hands and greeted each other.

"Although I can't see it, he is over 80 years old~" Linda happily popularized science to Yamato. "None of us are humans in the conventional sense, so we should be considered demons now."

"Demons? There is such a mythical creature in the legend of my original home planet civilization, does it really exist? Yamato let go of the hand he was holding, turned his head and scanned Ian's body back and forth, "I can't see it at all." ”

Ian pondered for a moment and deflected his thoughts in the direction of recklessness, and the coat of arms on his forehead began to glow faintly.

"Although there is no physiological change in the body, the atmosphere of the whole person has changed...... It's not scientific...... "Yamato, a completely scientific creation, can't understand this change.

"No, it's scientific, you just don't know the logic." Ian shook his head and stopped the Great Demon state. "As long as you know the self-justification logic, everything is a part of science, and it can be studied and practiced, but the disciplines are different."

"Completely incomprehensible ......" is not available to analyze the principle of the change in Ian's state.

"It's okay, you'll understand it later." Ian shook his head and said he didn't want to explain too much now. "I'll send you the relevant information, now let's go home first. Aeolia, where do you disembark? ”

"Put me on the side of the outer spaceship Celestial."

Ian drove Ptolemy back to his small home in the Solomon Islands, parked Ptolemy back in the hangar and began automatic maintenance, and the group of three returned to Ian's former secluded villa.

Milena, who had grown into a big girl, prepared dinner with Tieria.

"Is the end of Daddy's world?"

"Well, it's over, and I shouldn't have to run back and forth between the two worlds for a while. Now that the world is looking into the universe, we can discuss the exchange between the two civilizations. Ian and the others sat at the dinner table and ate and chatted.

"Is there anything going on on the Federation's side?" Ian looked at Tieria.

"There are no events that require special attention, and now the federation is developing steadily." Thierria recalled a recent report. "Oh yes, 3 days ago, the Third Immigration Fleet reported seeing a creature that could survive in the universe, but it didn't catch up, and the other party jumped away in an untraceable way. This is the only video material. Tielia sent a blurry photo to Ian. It was vaguely clear whether it was a red bug lying on the meteorite or an arthropod insect.

Ian thought for a while, and then gave up thinking, because the color did not match the size, and the size did not match the shape.

"I see, raise the intelligence priority of this new species to the highest level, and if you're lucky, they can become new allies."

"Understood. I'll put Veda at the top of the intel. ”

"Anyway, when are you going to marry my family Milena, you've been talking for almost 10 years."

"Dad......"

"Soon, my down payment on the house in the magic capital was made up in no time. When I bought the house, I proposed to Milena. ”

"House? And the down payment is not enough? How big is this house for you......"

"A school district ...... of more than 100 square meters"

"That's not right...... I'll take a look at the location of the house. ”

"Here, what's the problem?"

"You can buy two houses at this price, why do you have to make a down payment?"

“？？？”

"You have a lot of wages and bonuses, and there are several war commissions and bonuses, so I can get tens of millions."

“？？？”

"You Gundam pilots have their names in the People's Revolutionary Federation, and at the beginning they were with the rank of major, and now they are almost commodore generals when they calculate their military merits, and they have not deducted a penny from their combat allowances and military merit bonuses." Ian still looked confused when he saw Tieria, "You don't wonder why other people are so chic?" ”

"After returning in an instant, he left with Marina, went to Azadistan, and is now the prince, Neil Lyle was quite rich before he joined the Celestials, and Arelua went to be an officer in the Super Army...... And the objects they married were all Bai Fumei...... Marina is now the queen, Elle is the lord of a large consortium, Filut's parents have left a lot of property, and Mary's adoptive father is a federal general. Milena's father, you are also a federal general. I didn't even think I had a salary for anything. ”

Here, Ian also found out the current status of several Gundam pilots through his own authority.

"All four of them have taken out their salaries...... You still have more than 60 million deposits, I just said that it is less, the old three major unions have been filed for you, and the salary of the celestial people is not low. You don't have to make a down payment, go back and prepare for the proposal. By the way, you've always lived here, how do you make money? ”

Tieria was speechless and looked at the sky, "Outsourced programmer, I take the programming job at night......"

"Mr. Ode...... Is that why you've had 3 new bodies in the past few years? ”

"Hmm...... There have been a few cases where I accidentally died suddenly...... Actually, I've already had 5 new bodies......" Tieria's expression was super embarrassed.

"You're amazing??" Ian was shocked by Tieria's sudden death five times and still trying to make a down payment. "But talk to me next time, you kid really has a real heart."

"Linda, can't she come back?"

"Well, she won't be able to get out of it for a while, the situation on the front line has deteriorated, and now the intensity of their offensive has reached a record high, but the defense line is still holding on."

"Okay, then I'll go to the front line tomorrow to have a look, just after completing the mission, I'm going to report too. Yamato, do you have any plans for coming here? ”

"Plans? The original plan was to come and see where the Admiral lives, but it sounds like you're still at war? Yamato was a little restrained.

"Well, but not in this world..."

"Can I go along? Your enemies, will we also fight against them later? ”

"It's up to you to choose, in principle, I won't put you into that meat grinder-like battlefield, in the frontal battlefield, even if your 300,000 hulls are all big warships, they are just a small fleet.

But in the world on the inside of the line, I hope you don't run away from the fight, because they are a risk shared by everyone on the inside of the line. ”

"Risk ...... Is it ...... I understand. ”

After dinner, Ian found that his wife didn't want him anymore......

"Honey ~ Today I slept with Yamato-san ~ You go to the guest room ~"

"......" Ian wanted to say something, but seeing Linda's long-lost squinting expression, he slipped into the guest room without daring to say anything.

"My damn mistake again?! Isn't right......" Ian hugged the pillow in the guest room, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, "What is the purpose of my going to Lelouch World......?" ”

Roll over and get out of bed, turn on the lamp, and pull out a notebook from your coat pocket. One of the pages was written by Ian before he left.

Mission Objectives

1. Freya warhead

2. The destruction of the Chinese Federation and Li Xingke

3. Karen and Suzaku

……

12. Superconducting grenade heavy artillery (???? ）

……

17、Float unit（???? ）

……

Why did I bring back a fleet of sea fog...... The style of painting is wrong...... And this bunch of set goals has been accomplished......

But if you think about it, there seems to be no reason for Karen and these people to form a rebel army again, Suzaku didn't have time to kill his father, Lelouch is about to be used to being a bear child by Charles, the eunuchs of the Chinese Federation are all people who have perseverance, Li Xingke should not have a coup d'état, Mariana is not dead, and Nina seems to be unable to develop Freya......

"The butterfly effect pits dead people...... "Ian fell asleep regretfully.

At 6 a.m. the next morning, Ian was woken up by the sound of a door slamming. "Admiral, what time are we leaving today?"

Ian opened his eyes in disgust, glanced at the clock, and thought that he couldn't sleep if he couldn't sleep. "I'll leave after breakfast."

Ian got up and changed his clothes, and took Yamato to the kitchen to order two packs of Master Kong's braised beef noodles...... Hit two poached eggs and a handful of vegetables, and the thief is happy to eat.

After breakfast, Ian took Yamato to the Brass Throne.

"Ian, I've read the report, but the lack of follow-up to the beta is beyond my expectations, besides, do you remember to ask you for the ELS information, through analyzing the data, we have clarified the origin of those creatures we are fighting against."

"Is it really the lost group?"

"That's right, it's the lost race, but apart from some of the same physical characteristics, they are completely different from ELS. Moreover, they are already unconscious. ”

"So we're actually fighting zombies?"

"No, after devouring enough creatures, they come to consciousness again, and of course, you know, most creatures have simple thoughts, eat, multiply. And intelligent creatures are a little more complicated, eating and multiplying and expanding, and when the higher civilization encounters this kind of existence, it will fight a wave first, so there is hostility. "Old K's expression is a bit complicated, and several changes finally form a dog-headed funny face." Eventually, these thoughts are re-infused into these bodies and mixed into new consciousnesses, and these are what we are fighting against. ”

Tzeentch personally led a team of champions to investigate the location of the ELS Lost Race mentioned in the document, and near the last communication point of the group, they discovered a planet that had been fully assimilated. Some of the champions jumped to tens of thousands of light-years to observe the planet with optical equipment. Then, everything was right. ”

"They determined that the ELS had been defeated and captured by a local civilization using magic technology shortly after arriving on the planet, and that civilization had erased ELS's consciousness in an attempt to transform them into silicon-based bio-warships. Of course, they failed, and the devouring expansion instinct of the biometal, which was not suppressed by consciousness, took the lives of everyone on that planet in an instant.

The planet was swallowed in an instant. The civilization that lost a planet amassed a great deal of combat power to engage the posthumous ELS in battle. The corpses of the attacked ELS instinctively took the form of the silicon-based bio-warships that the civilization had designed for them, and this form was the first stage of what we see now.

In the days that followed, that civilization attacked the corpse of Els with all its might, and of course, they failed. At that time, that civilization was in a period of expansion, and of course, the corpses of Els got their first thought, which was expansion, and then that nightmarish result, they began to divide and multiply. However, the last effort of that civilization worked, and they managed to erase the devouring assimilation nature of the corpse of Els so that things didn't get worse.

It's ironic that they defeated ELS only to be defeated by ELS's corpse. Old K shook his head, feeling a little funny. But even if we know the origin, we still have to fight how we should fight. It didn't matter, and I thought I could find their weaknesses...... But this is also good, blocking the luck psychology of many people, some people have heard that they have found their origin, and they can find a way to annihilate them in one fell swoop, so as to contribute to the present and benefit the future. The existing operations have dared to be passive and sabotage, and they almost made a big mistake. ”

"This is really ......" Ian didn't know what to say, did he dare not go all out in the face of such an enemy and look for death.

"Don't talk about those bad things, this is your newly picked up Sea Mist Fleet?"

"I've heard about you, and your Creator civilization was once part of us, but it was wiped out in several civil wars, and we regret it. I've heard that you've appointed Ian as your admiral, so you'll be confronted sooner or later, so let's go meet them first. ”

Bidding farewell to his boss, Ian came to the side of the subspace portal and came to the combat command room?

It was here that the emperor issued orders to direct the battle.

"Ian, you're here?" The emperor felt Ian's breath as soon as Ian arrived at the command room, and turned his head to look at Ian.

"I've taken a look at you, I haven't had time for the past few years. So, what's going on? ”

"It's rare for you to have this heart, now it's a tug-of-war, the defense lines of the enemy and us are staggered, and we can't get out if they can't get in."

Yamato looked at the pictures of them on the wall of the headquarters, and his face gradually deteriorated. "Admiral, the long axis is 500 meters, this is still a small body, even if the sea fog fleet is all pressed up, it will not be enough to fight against them...... I don't even think that with the existing armament of the sea fog, it is impossible to destroy the medium-sized body of the place. ”

"So you have to think about the future trend, sooner or later you will be equipped with the hull of a large space warship, and you will not even be able to participate in this war without strong enough weapons."
