"Strike?" The stars in the distance really looked a little strange.

Not only him, but Captain Hibi, who had temporarily retreated to the edge of the city, and everyone who clearly heard this speech were stunned.

The battle had been going on for a short time now, and in just such a short period of time, the damage to the city was already incalculable, but at this moment, the enemy who had the upper hand actually said the word 'truce', and they could not help but suspect the conspiracy that might be involved.

And stop here, what's the point of the battle just now, just let the enemy show off his strength?

But apparently the other side does not intend to give humanity a chance to object.

The mirror puppet that had already manifested itself dragged the big broken body and began to fly into the air, separating the crystals of its hands and feet from its body on the way, and together with a large number of shattered crystal fragments on the ground, they each returned to the crystal city high in the sky, clearly indicating that they no longer intended to fight.

"We don't mean to be hostile to humans, let alone invade, we just want to stay on this beautiful planet, so we don't have to fight with humans."

The ethereal voice in the air sounded again, this time without the backdrop of the mirror puppet, but it made people feel a little less resistant and a little more curious.

"We come from a galaxy far away, and we were expelled from our original home due to invasion, and we discovered this beautiful planet after countless years of wandering." As the voice sounded, the Crystal City, which had disappeared in the air, rerevealed its beautiful crystal formation, and continued to the people on the ground, "As for coming to Earth, it is only to seek friendly help and acceptance from humans, and for this, we are willing to pay the corresponding price. ”

After the words of Crystal City were heard by the citizens below, there was an uproar.

And Captain Xibi frowned when he heard this, but he didn't expect that the other party would negotiate with the human side in such a low-profile tone after showing off his force and deterrence.

It's just that the more the other party puts on a low posture, the more uneasy Captain Xibi's heart becomes, but he can't say the specific reason for the uneasiness, so he has to write down this uneasy emotion for the time being.

"Whether humanity accepts our request or not, please send a representative to negotiate with us, and we will be there at any time." After a pause, Crystallization City continued, "Please don't worry about the safety of the human representatives during the negotiation, if you feel that we can't be trusted, then you can designate the human to negotiate the location, and we will send representatives to participate in the negotiation as soon as possible, please consider our request, we will definitely pay enough price to contribute to humanity as the recipients." ”

The sound stopped, and then the Crystal City floating high in the air no longer moved, but floated quietly, showing its beauty to the people.

"Request for negotiation? What is the purpose of the other party..."Captain Xibi's frown did not let go with the silence of Crystal City, but unfortunately there was not much information in his possession at present, so he had to give up thinking for the time being, took out the W.I.T communicator and ordered his teammates, "There is no way, let's retreat for the time being." ”

"Understood..."The situation has developed to such an extent that Koda and the others are not in much better mood, and their tones are a little low, and after receiving the instructions, they all drive the body towards the base and retreat.

Saborica also gave the order to retreat, and the remnants of the Victory Phantom also slowly turned the fuselage, activated the optical camouflage system, and disappeared into the night.

Only Dinah, who had just barely managed to support his body, was still panting violently, covering his shoulder with his left hand that was scratched by the light of Soljet, and looked up at the crystal city standing still in the sky with some reluctance, and in the crisp urging sound of the timer, a faint white light emanated from his body, which gradually disappeared...

.....

"Dinah actually lost..."Seeing Dinah disappear in the light, the glasses boy Kazusuke was obviously a little depressed.

The big river on the side was no better, staring at the crystal city in the sky angrily, with the intention of going up to fight in place of Dinah.

It's a pity that it's just a fantasy after all.

Zhu Xingzhen sighed, tonight's battle plan against 'Asmantis' can be described as a complete failure, although it successfully pulled out the lurking crystal city, but no matter how you look at it, it looks like it was reversed by the other party.

I can't be happy with such a result...

"Alright, the battle is over, I'll have someone send you back." Reaching out and patting the heads of the two little boys, Zhuxing's thoughts really didn't know where they had drifted.

.....

TPC headquarters base, SUPER-GUTS operational command room.

"Why retreat without permission from headquarters! Is it just because of the aggressor's words!? Staff Officer Gondo, who had been waiting here for a long time, slapped it the table, and looked at Captain Kibi with a gloomy face.

"In my judgment, our armament is not capable of inflicting effective damage on the enemy, and since the other side is willing to temporarily cease fighting, there is no need for us to entangle with him." Captain Xibi was very calm, and explained without humility or arrogance, "Instead of staying where I am, it is better to rush back and seize the time to study the existing information and work out an effective way to defeat the other party, which is why I retreated." ”

"Humph!" Staff Officer Gondo only snorted coldly when he heard this, but he didn't continue to dwell on it, and jumped to another topic, "THEN WHY, YOU SUPER-GUTS MEMBERS ATTACKED THE TEAMMATE PLANE OF THE BLACK STORM TEAM, AND CRASHED AN ALFA PERIO AFTERWARDS!" ”

"At that time, the attack on the Victory Mirage had already caused massive damage to the city, and if it was not stopped in time, it would only trigger even greater economic losses." Captain Kibi still didn't back down, and retorted to Gondo Counselor, "MOREOVER, I DON'T THINK THE STAR ADVISORS ARE AT FAULT FOR CHOOSING TO CRASH ALFAS PERIO IN ORDER TO SAVE THE CITIZENS, AND TO PROTECT PEOPLE FROM THE THREAT OF DISASTER, ISN'T IT OUR SUPER-GUTS... No, is it the responsibility of the entire TPC! ”

"Nonsense! You don't have to worry about the pacification afterwards! If a fighter takes care of it in the performance of combat missions, how can he show his due abilities! Staff Officer Gondo also glared at Captain Kibi and shouted, "To fight means that there will be losses!" But for you as warriors, you only need to think about how to repel the invaders! In the course of the battle with the aggressor, casualties are inevitable! But sacrificing a powerful combat mechage in order to save a few people is simply stupid! ”

"I don't agree with you." "I don't think we're going to be able to protect even a few people, so what qualifications do we have to protect even a few!" ”

Staff Officer Gondo sneered and said, "It's because of a captain like you who is old-fashioned and doesn't know how to be flexible, that SUPER-GUTS will now become Ultraman's foil!" ”

"Maybe you're right." Stretching out his hand to stop Koda, who was about to refute, Captain Kibi's face regained his composure, and he said seriously to Gondo Staff, "But as far as my status as a member of SUPER-GUTS and a member of TPC is concerned, I am proud of my old-fashionedness. ”

"You... It's unreasonable! Staff Officer Gondo was furious, but he was helpless against Captain Kibi, who did not eat oil and salt, and after leaving a word, he planned to throw his hand and leave.

Before walking to the door of the command room, Staff Officer Gondo happened to meet the returning Zhuxing Shin and the boy Okawa Nobo. After glancing at Zhu Xingzhen with complicated eyes, Quan Teng's staff officer snorted coldly, and without saying a word, he staggered past him, making Zhu Xingzhen, who had just rushed back, quite inexplicable.

"Star Advisors?" With a hint of surprise, Nakajima looked at the stars who walked into the command room and shouted.

Then, Koda, Kaya, Ryo, Mai, and Captain Kibi in the entire command room all focused their eyes on Zhu Xingzhen, and there seemed to be something in their eyes that they didn't have in the past, especially the girl Mai Midorikawa, who looked at Zhu Xingzhen's gaze as if it was even hotter than in the past.

"You... What's wrong? Being watched by such a collective, even Zhu Xingzhen felt a little unnatural, so he had to ask.

"Haha~ No, no, nothing." Seeing that this young man who had become unfazed was furious by his own few people, Captain Kibi's mood seemed to have recovered, and even the unhappiness in his heart due to the conversation with Gondo Staff Officer just now also lightened, "It just so happens that we are going to discuss it, and we can really come together about the situation of the enemy that appeared tonight." Hmm, who is this kid? ”

Zhuxingzhen may not have noticed it, but Koda and the others noticed that Captain Kibi's address to him had quietly changed from 'Zhuxing Advisor' to 'Masa'.

From politely addressing one's name and position, to calling him by his first name, the level of closeness is simply incomparable.

However, Koda and the others did not feel the slightest abruptness, because Zhuxing Zhen also won their respect with his self-sacrificing behavior tonight.

It's a pity that Zhu Xingzhen obviously didn't notice this detail at all, and after hearing Captain Xibi's inquiry, he pulled out Dahewang, who was going to follow him here, and said helplessly: "This is Dahe, Dahewang, the first discoverer about this incident, I think he may be helpful in the analysis of the incident." ”

Probably... Zhu Xingzhen silently added a sentence in his heart.

"Well, sit down." Captain Hibi seemed to see the helplessness on Zhu Xingzhen's face, smiled kindly at Dahe, and said.

Taihe nodded, and then quietly turned his head to Zhu Xingzhen and pouted defiantly, causing the corners of the latter's mouth to twitch slightly, this scene did not escape the eyes of Koda and the others, but everyone just laughed at it.

Just as Zhu Xingzhen pressed the dishonest Taikawa Wang to his seat and was about to take his seat as well, the door to the command room opened again, and this time it was Ito, the head of the Special Intelligence Section of the Intelligence Bureau, who had disappeared since the battle began, followed by Asuka who looked a little depressed.

"Asuka?!" Ito's arrival didn't cause any repercussions, but Koda and the others were taken aback when they saw the Asuka following behind, and Liang immediately stepped forward to hold Asuka who seemed to be a little out of energy, but was dodged by Asuka laughing.

"It's okay, it's just a little rock," Asuka smiled, clasping his shoulders, and then walked to his place and sat down casually.

Although Asuka repeatedly emphasized that he was in good health, he couldn't help but bare his teeth when he sat down, which made everyone's hearts tighten.

"Are you really not hurt? Let's go to the infirmary first. Liang frowned and looked at the bird next to him grinning, and there was a rare tenderness in his tone.

"This level of injury is not worth mentioning to me." Although it hurt terribly everywhere on his body, and even his expression became a little far-fetched, Asuka still smiled stiffly, "Don't worry, I'm an immortal Asuka~"

Seeing that Asuka insisted, everyone no longer persuaded him, but just cast worried eyes, only the true old god of the stars was there, only he knew how strong this kid's body was, maybe he would be able to jump around again after lying down for a few days...

"I'm sorry, but is there anything important about Section Chief Ito? Is it about 'Asmantis'? However, after confirming Asuka's situation, Captain Kibi stood up and apologized to Ito, who had been ignored by everyone since he came in.

"Hehe, there's one thing that matters, but I don't know if it's not about 'Asmantis.'" Ito was not annoyed, he still kept a gentle smile and shook hands with Captain Kibi, then turned to Zhuxing who was sitting next to Asuka and smiled politely, and said, "I'm here to bring a message to the Star Advisor, and the intermediary staff officer asked the Star Advisor to come to her lounge, it seems that there is something for you." ”

"Oh?" Zhuxing was really stunned for a moment, then thoughtfully, got up and glanced at Ito, who was smiling, then nodded to everyone, turned around and walked to the door of the command room, of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to cast a 'stern' look at Dahewang, but whether he was taken to heart by Dahe is another matter...

Looking at the back of Zhuxingzhen's departure, Ito's eyes fluctuated slightly, but he was not noticed by anyone...
