Chapter 29: Succession to the Throne

Time flies quickly in the world of Mass Effect in Mordred, and according to Ethan's calculations, the 'plot' over there should be over.

He didn't go over to pick up Mordred, he just messaged Mordred to remind her that she could come back.

What the results of the assessment are, it doesn't matter at this time, Mordred's life is smooth to the point where Ethan thinks it's okay, and the results are already out, and I believe that she has also completed the goals she set for herself during this time.

With a reply message from Mordred: It's okay!

Ethan opened a teleportation channel based on Mordred's location, and then saw Mordred return to the Venus with Galahad, Duke, and his men.

After looking at the subordinates behind Mordred, he found that the number was much smaller, and in addition to the more familiar characters such as Duke, Anna, and White Ghost, there were still four veterans left.

"So many fewer people?"

Is the world of Mass Effect so dangerous? Mordred's strength shouldn't have caused such a heavy loss to his men, right?

Mordred shook his head helplessly, and simply replied: "There are those who left the team halfway, and there are those who were bribed to deal with me in turn, plus the casualties ......"

Ethan nodded, it seems that the reasons for the attrition are very complicated, and it is not simply a battle loss, which is understandable.

Everyone has their own ideas and is faced with various choices all the time, some people choose to follow the established path, and some people choose to take a different path.

Ethan has nothing to say about this, everyone has the right to choose, and they also have to bear the consequences of each choice.

Looking at the few veterans left behind Mordred, I wonder if Mordred will feel depressed?

Even the rest of the few were not all willing to continue to play for Mordred, and only one of the four veterans that Ethan didn't know well ended up willing to stay, named James Jon, and the rest chose to accept Mordred's offer and go to Annette's pharmaceutical company as a security consultant (colloquially a senior security guard).

As for Mr. James Jon, who was willing to stay, he was 'driven away' by Mordred, because Mordred had already judged that this guy was an official agent, and he joined his team to spy on intelligence.

Since Annette was steadily developing her stronghold over there, Mordred did not choose to get rid of him secretly after discovering this, but only had a showdown with the other party after returning, which was considered to save face for the 'official'.

As a result, Mordred recruited only Duke, Anna, White Ghost, and Krausa, as well as ...... John Shepard, who Mordred turned back from this trip.

As a hero who saved the galaxy, there is no place for Shepard in that world, and I have to say that it is really quite ironic, he lives there very painfully, so when Mordred invited him to leave the galaxy, he agreed almost without hesitation.

Of course, he didn't expect that the so-called departure would be like this: to run away to another world.

Shepard, who soon wanted to open it, felt that it was nothing, and he could start a new life.

As for allegiance to Mordred, who had helped him many times in his years of fighting against the Reapers, and even saved himself, he felt that it was not unacceptable for him to work for her until he repaid the favors.

What's more, he also needs to live, and Mordred can at least ensure that he has something to eat.

"And what about the pilots you need?"

"I made other arrangements in advance. ”

Mordred had already 'booked' a Daystar-class frigate (Earth Federation classification) and a number of VF fighters as its most trusted core military force.

Originally, he recruited a large number of veterans, and Ethan thought that she was preparing to train these veterans into all-round elites, but now there are only a few left, although they are enough to be all-capable elites, but there are still one person and one VF left.

What does Mordred mean by this, is there any other preparation?Ethan thought for a while, and then remembered that Mordred had run a few times in the Macross world, maybe he recruited pilots there? After all, VF fighters are a specialty of that world.

"Give me some time to deal with these things, and then you can send me back. ”

Ethan nodded, he didn't tell Mordred, in fact, Merlin had already sent a message to himself, which meant that Mordred needed to go back to inherit the throne.

Even so, he didn't rush Mordred, he was already stuck at that point in time, as long as he aimed specifically at this point in time to 'land' when teleporting, then no matter how much time was wasted here, in Merlin's opinion, Ethan would arrive the next moment after he sent the message.

So Ethan wasn't in a hurry, and Mordred had plenty of time to take care of his own affairs.

However, Mordred moved much faster than he predicted, and soon Mordred appeared in front of Ethan with several other people.

Crane Crane, Ozma Lee and Brera ...... Ethan looked at these curious people looking around, Ethan didn't expect Mordred to directly fool the elite pilots of that ship group.

It's not surprising that the Boundary Ship Group has found a suitable habitable planet and stopped, and these few people are more or less in trouble.

Ozma's SMS company, a private military contractor (mercenary), had previously planned and executed a rebellion, and even if it proved that they were right, it would not be possible to avoid further trouble.

Not to mention whether the company will be retaliated against, the future of these people can basically be declared over.

Brera's situation is even worse, he was originally working for the villain Galaxy Ship Group, and even if he is controlled, it is difficult to clear his suspicions, so his situation over there is also not very good.

To briefly describe it, these people are similar to Shepard's situation, although they are the heroes of the Boundary Ship Group and even the galaxy, but they can't get along in their own world, so they are easily recruited by Mordred.

Strictly speaking, it's not simple, the plot of the Macross border has long been over, the entire ship group should be in the development of a new planet, Mordred should befriend these people in advance, and then wait for them to live an unsatisfactory life for a few years, and then go over to recruit.

It is precisely because of this that she was able to recruit so many people smoothly.

Crane Crane is in a special situation, Mordred and her promise to resurrect Michael before fooling the female pilot of the Zenith.

What is certain is that as long as this group of people mix well under her, she will be able to recruit another group of elites.

For example, Duke's good brother Ricade (parachute line) is a good fighter and a good pilot.

Ozma is not the only one who is not very comfortable in SMS, such as the captain and pilot of SMS Makulos, as well as several other communications and radar officers, are all potential recruits.

"Unfortunately, you don't have time to continue training your new recruits. ”

When Ethan glanced at the newcomers, they were also looking at him. Just like when Krausa first arrived, the young captain didn't know much about Ethan, and it seemed to them that this time it was just a new job, and the new job was still flying a fighter.

As an elite air combat player, Ozma didn't understand what else he needed to train.

He didn't ask, he was sure that he would get the answer soon, because Ethan then said, 'When you get back, you can give them the relevant intensive training alone, and you can get what you need.' ’

This means that he can quickly know the situation and there is no need to rush it.

What really cared to him was the message he overheard from Crane Crane: resurrecting Michael.

He wondered what kind of scam it was.

Even if Mordred had shown some magical means, he didn't think that there really was a means to resurrect the dead, and he even wondered if there was some conspiracy in what Mordred had done?

He agreed to accept the invitation, and there was also a reason why he wanted to investigate the truth.

When he followed a large group of strangers and his new boss Mordred into a 'backward' world, he finally began to face up to what Mordred had said to him: You will follow me to a new world and start a new life!

I don't know how many years have passed, and the Camelot has become more 'modern', but the place where they landed, the compound dedicated to Ethan, has barely changed from back then.

Merlin and Arthur waited here, and when Ethan appeared, they greeted him directly.

Looking at the elderly Arthur who had turned into gray hair in front of him, Ethan couldn't help but sigh: time is really a terrible force.

"Wish fulfilled?"

Arthur had said that he would fulfill his wish and then hand over the empire he had built to Mordred. Merlin will summon himself to send Mordred back, which means that Arthur is ready to pass the throne.

"After all these years, I have figured out a lot of things...... For example, some things can't be perfect, so I'm not going to continue to cling to them. ”

It's been a long time since he dominated the world, but instead of calling Mordred back right away, he 'wasted' many more years.

As he grew older, Arthur began to feel powerless, and his increasingly bloated empire exposed more and more problems, but he had no mental energy to deal with them.

"I was going to give Mordred a strong and prosperous empire, but now it seems...... She needs to do better than I do. ”
