Over the Caspian Sea, the Osiris was blocked by several fighters of the new European Union.

"We are the Macedonian Legion of the new European Union, and I hope that your ship can report to its forces and legions and leave this area as soon as possible."

Anton, who had just escaped from the fire, walked into the bridge and saw Captain Shepard pick up the communicator and say:

"I'm Brigadier Shepard, the former Brigadier General of the Star Alliance. Donnie, as far as I know, the Caspian Sea is not part of the sphere of influence of the new European Union, and I hope your commanders will let it go. ”

The other side did not reply immediately, and after a while, a video communication signal was connected to the big screen. A small, gray-haired, bespectacled white man appeared on the screen, greeting Captain Shepard warmly:

"Brigadier General Shepard! Long time no see! The last time we met was in 'Carthage', right? ”

"Your Excellency Admiral Alain, long time no see, congratulations on becoming a general. And I've left the Covenant and I'm no longer a brigadier general. ”

"It's a shame, but I've heard that you left the Covenant so you didn't surrender to HER, and I appreciate your actions."

"That's all for the greetings, Your Excellency Admiral, as far as I know, the Caspian Sea is not the sphere of influence of the new European Union, and I hope your legion can let it go."

"Our war with HER has spread here, HER has broken through our northern line of defense in Eastern Europe, and we are going to surround it from the south."

"There are quite a few refugees on board the Osiris, and I need to cross the Caucasus Mountains to find a new home for them. We are all enemies of HER, and I hope you will hold your hand high. ”

"The alliance between the new EU and the Star Alliance has long ended, not to mention that you are not a member of the Star Alliance now. If you want to help us fight HER, your ship can join my legion. ”

"I'm afraid not, Admiral Alain, I'm about to be buried in the ground, and I don't want to be dispatched anymore."

"Your ship always needs supplies, right?"

"The Osiris is very well stocked."

Admiral Alain sank his face and said:

"That's a pity, I'm afraid I can't give you the green light, but I'll report the situation of your ship to the military department, goodbye!"

Admiral Alain's video signal was cut off, and Shepard tiredly put down the communicator.

"Didn't you tell them that one of our drivers was kidnapped nearby?" Anton asked.

Shepard waved his hand and said:

"We don't have any room to deal with them when we say this kind of shameful thing, we have to find the kid ourselves."

…

When Lin Ao wakes up, he finds himself in a narrow cave. He tried to stand up, but there was a labor pain in his left leg, and he remembered that he had been hit in the shin while escaping, and he fell to the ground and fainted.

"I'm being arrested again..."

He looked around, and at the bend of the cave sat a robber smoking a cigarette, staring at Lin Ao with wary eyes.

It seemed that he couldn't escape, Lin Ao picked up the simple gauze wrapped around his calf, looked at the place where he was shot in his calf, fortunately only a piece of meat was knocked off by the inferior bullets of the robbers, if it was hit by a bullet to the bone, then this leg was useless.

There was silence all around, except for the crackling of the torches embedded in the cave walls, and the robbers guarding Lin Ao smoked fiercely, as if they were wrestling with sleepiness.

"Is it late at night? How long have I been fainting..."

Lin Ao was not sleepy at all, but he didn't dare to move, so he had to stare at the torch in a daze.

At this moment, a dark shadow quietly approached the robber guarding Lin Ao, grabbed the butt of his rifle and slammed it on the back of the opponent's head.

"Hafi! You..."

The black shadow was actually Ha Fei, Lin Ao just wanted to call his name, but saw that Ha Fei's left sleeve was empty.

He pointed to Hafei's sleeve, and Hafei made a quiet movement, helping Lin Ao to leave the cave carefully.

The two of them didn't even dare to breathe, and they didn't even dare to breathe a sigh of relief until they reached a place where they couldn't see the cave.

"Hafi! Why are you here? What about your left arm? Lin Ao asked with some distress.

"It was blown up during the assault on the fortress! I fainted in pain, and I guess the people there threw me into a garbage dump when I died. When I woke up, I was caught in a sandstorm and couldn't find the direction of the canyon, and I was rescued by the bandits halfway through. Actually, they're not bad, but I can't watch you get caught and be indifferent. By the way, didn't you go into the fortress with Bashar? What about Bashar? ”

Lin Ao shook his head, and Ha Fei hurriedly asked, "Bashar is dead??" How did you escape? ”

"I also fainted, Bashar snatched a humanoid weapon and took me out before he died, but unfortunately he died of excessive blood loss on the way..."

Ha Fei sat on the ground with his ass slumped, tears rolling in his eyes, but he held back the tears, stood up and patted his ass and asked Lin Ao:

"What about the canyon? Are you back? How is everyone? ”

"Everyone is fine, although the HER attack on the canyon injured someone, we were all saved by the Osiris. Hafei, it's great that you're okay! I thought you were dead! ”

Lin Ao couldn't suppress the joy of reuniting with Ha Fei and hugged Ha Fei tightly. Hafi patted him on the back with his right hand and said:

"I don't call it okay, but it's a blessing that we're both alive. Now the most important thing is to find your ship! ”

Lin Ao wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at the dark surroundings, and couldn't see the Caspian Sea.

"Do you know where this is?"

"I don't know, they took you for a long time, but I remember the direction of the Caspian Sea, let's go!"

In this way, Hafi helped Lin Ao in the direction of the Caspian Sea.

After walking for two hours, both of them were a little sleepy. Because he was in a hurry, Ha Fei didn't have any water with him, and now he wanted to nibble on a fruit, any fruit.

In the dark night sky, a huge airplane appeared, the two had never seen this kind of plane, and Hafei waved as he ran towards the plane.

"Help us!"

The plane saw them and turned around and flew in their direction. But when the plane approached, he was so frightened that Hafei didn't dare to move.

This is HER's plane!

Soon the plane landed next to the two, and Lin Ao and Ha Fei looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Two officer-looking men and three or four HER soldiers got out of the plane. One of the officers was bald, the other had blonde hair and large sunglasses that covered half of his face.

"I'm Captain Vlad of HER, have you two seen a silver battleship?

This was to ask the Osiris, and Lin Ao swallowed his saliva and said:

"No, I haven't seen it, we are villagers living near the Caspian Sea, kidnapped by robbers, and just escaped."

This is a half-truth, and Lin Ao does not know if there are any villages near the Caspian Sea, but it is true that he was kidnapped by robbers. The officer in the sunglasses saw that one of them had lost his left arm and the other had suffered a leg injury, as if he had been attacked by a robber.

"The Caspian Sea is not far from here, and it's a pity that we have military affairs on hand to give you a ride. But we can give you a little water and dry food, take care! ”

The HER soldiers actually handed Lin Ao a pack of compressed biscuits and a bottle of water. Lin Ao and Ha Fei nodded their heads in thanks with sweaty profusely and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

The officer in sunglasses suddenly called out to them.

"What's wrong?"

"You..."

The officer in sunglasses looked Lin Ao up and down, which made Lin Ao a little hairy.

"I take the liberty of asking, are you a girl?"

"Huh?"

Lin Ao was confused by this question, and Ha Fei on the side couldn't help laughing, and explained to the officer: "He is a natural woman!" ”

"My daughter??"

It was the first time Lin Ao had heard anyone say that.

"Hahaha! I thought that the war here had spread to the point that women needed to dress as men to protect themselves, so I couldn't help but ask, it was rude. ”

Lin Ao said an awkward farewell to the officer, his first encounter with the Red Knight.
