092 "Death Knight"
"Professor Monterey, do you really feel at ease with these people?" Trist asked.
Standing in the cramped cockpit of the "Kanhaifa", Professor Monterey had to bend over and reply: "Trist, you are always alone, and you don't know about the outside world. The gang rescued hundreds of refugees kidnapped by HER in a mine in New Jersey last week, so I believe them. ”
After the professor's words, a few people who had just made a mess returned to the university on the top of the mountain, and together with Dr. Hohenheim, who heard the movement and rushed back, after Professor Monterey's introduction, everyone learned that this was the campus of Ohio University in the past.
Professor Monterey introduced: "In addition to me, there are more than 100 people living here, and we have all gone into hiding without recognizing you before. Someone misunderstood the shape of the black body after seeing it, so he told Trist to rush back. ”
Seeing that Trist drove back in Guanhaifa, and many old people and children came out of the dilapidated building, Professor Monterey said to them: "Don't be afraid, these people are not bad people!" ”
The girl who had been throwing a stone at machine 2 suddenly jumped out, hugged Trist's leg and asked, "Death Knight!" Didn't you beat these bad guys away? ”
Trist smiled awkwardly and touched the girl's head: "Aren't the professors, they're not bad guys, they're just driving humanoid weapons that look like demons." ”
These old people and children didn't dare to approach the No. 2 machine, and when they heard Trist doing the same, they relaxed and leaned over to look at the No. 2 machine.
Edward: "Old Cui, do you still use the nickname of Death Knight?" ”
Trist twisted his head to the side and ignored him, and Lin Ao asked a little curiously, "You know each other?" ”
Edward: "I've worked with this eccentric guy a few times before when I was in the North American Rescue Alliance, and his grandfather was Lieutenant General Pyrrhus, the Alliance commander who was beaten by HER in the Battle of Carthage!" ”
Hearing Edward's grandfather like this, Trist came over and grabbed Edward's collar and was angry: "How dare you that my grandfather was beaten by HER?" It was HER who used a plot of intrigues! ”
"It's normal to use intrigue when you go to war, right? Besides, he was indeed defeated, and if he hadn't lost, how could HER be rampant in North America now? ”
Trist raised his fist to fight, but Professor Monterey hurriedly pulled the two apart: "Okay, okay, don't fight." Edward, you too, accumulate some virtue in your mouth! ”
"Am I excessive? I saw all of mine in the old newspapers. ”
Professor Monterey didn't want to escalate the situation any further, so he quickly changed the subject, and asked Dr. Hohenheim, the eldest in Lin Ao's group, "I don't know why the Osiris stayed in this area, and specially lowered the humanoid weapon, is there any movement of HER nearby?" ”
Hohenheim waved his hand: "No, no, no!" You can rest assured. It's just that there is an antique from the "legend" era on the Osiris, and there is a strange movement when passing around here, so we suspect that there are still antiques buried here, so let's take a look. ”
Professor Monterey scratched his chin and pondered, "Oh... I've heard about the resonance of antiquities, but our university has been around for hundreds of years, and we've never dug up anything that has been handed down to the times..."
"Underground! Deeper underground! ”
An old man who was watching suddenly stood up: "If it is really something that has passed down the times, it has a history of thousands of years ago, and it must be deep underground!" ”
Hearing him like this, many people immediately became interested and enthusiastically discussed.
Dr. Hohenheim saw that these refugees were greedy and did not look like ordinary civilians, so he asked, "Professor, are you..."
Professor Monterey nodded, "That's right, we used to be employees of Ohio University. ”
"Great! Is there an archaeologist there? ”
"Yes!"
"I can't ask for it! Can you help us? With the help of an archaeologist, you can get twice the result with half the effort! ”
Professor Monterey consulted with a few refugees: "Yes! After the outbreak of the war, the students joined the guerrillas, and we old fellows have been idle for a long time, and it is time for us to do activities! ”
The two sides hit it off, and a detailed archaeological plan was immediately established, as the Osiris was understaffed and an additional crew member was added to help disembark. Sergeant Anton really had a hard time in this regard, he wanted to let the doctors and them go to the mountains for a few hours and then leave, but he didn't expect to start archaeology in a real way, and now he wanted to shout that it was too late to stop.
How does the Osiris dig up treasures No, General Sasaki, who intends to meet Lin Ao, has already set off. Hearing that General Sasaki was coming to his station, Major Kondo, the HER guard of Ohio, panicked, and he wanted to turn a blind eye to the Osiris and let the Osiris go to the station. I didn't expect this damn ship to be parked in Ohio! Now that I hear that General Sasaki is coming, is it possible that I want to ask myself for rejuvenating my teacher?
Major Kondo was so anxious that his men advised him to attack the Osiris immediately, lest the general come down and blame him. But Major Kondo is still hesitating, unlike others, his way of managing the army is like doing business, and he will never do it at a loss. With the forces at his disposal, even if he could defeat the Osiris, the losses would be ugly. With the Empire's reduction in the supply of the North American garrison, it is not known when it will recover from the heavy losses.
"If you don't fight, you will be punished by General Sasaki; If you fight, it's not cost-effective horizontally or vertically..."Major Kondo had a headache.
His subordinates: "Major, I heard that the Osiris has three humanoid weapons that can carry out laser attacks, even if we only capture one, it is a great feat!" ”
Kondo dismissively: "Captured? You think beautifully! I don't know your combat effectiveness yet? The whole thing is nonsense! ”
After he finished reprimanding his subordinates, he sat down and suddenly slapped his head a moment later, as if he had an idea...
…
The excavation of the Osiris has been going on for a whole day, and everyone has dug many places but they can't find a place where it looks like a treasure will be buried. Many of the crew members were deflated, but the old professors at Ohio University were still digging happily.
Edward also took part in the excavation, and at once he was covered in dirt and sweating profusely. He sat on the ground and threw the shovel casually: "Archaeology is not interesting at all on TV!" ”
Dr. Hohenheim smiled: "Archaeology has to be slow and meticulous, so that you can't dig up good things." ”
"Slow work, fine work? Can't we dig it up, and we're going to be here for a few more months? The Osiris is really going to be turned into an archaeological ship! ”
The doctor scratched his head: "Of course it can't be for a few months?" If we don't find anything, we can only let those refugees continue digging and we get out of here. ”
"Nonsense, isn't this... It's also ridiculous to get up and let the crew of the battleship go to archaeology! ”
"Well, during the war years, whether you are a soldier or not, you have an obligation to protect cultural relics from being destroyed and stolen by bad actors..."
"Including those who are still in the soil?"
"Including those who are still in the soil."
While the two were talking, Li Si ran over from a distance, and he shouted to Edward, "Edward! Sergeant Anton told you and Lin Ao to go back to the ship, there is an urgent matter! ”
Edward pointed lazily: "Lin Ao is there to cook for everyone!" Go tell him yourself, and I'll go back when I rest!" ”
"No! Sergeant Anton tells you to go back right away! ”
"What's the matter with such a hurry, HER is here?"
"That's not it, but HER wants to make a deal with us..."
"Deal? And HER? ”
When Dr. Edward and Dr. Hohenheim heard this, they both looked at each other.
