The expected battle did not happen.

The journey between the two wingmen and the two wingmen from the departure to the arrival at the Venus Fortress satellite was smooth sailing and unimpeded.

When the Tengyun sailed steadily into the port of the Daystar Fortress satellite, Meng Haoran, who had not been in contact for a long time since the last farewell, had already stood at the exit with many officers, waiting for He Moming and the others to arrive.

"Long time no see! Commander Meng. He inexplicably took the lead in saluting.

"Long time no see! I didn't expect that after saying goodbye last time, see you again today, Colonel He has become a general. After Meng Haoran returned the salute, he teased him a little and then turned the topic to the topic, "I already know that Commander He's task is urgent, so let's make a long story short." Please! ”

"Please!" Without saying a word, the two commanders and their respective subordinates walked towards the conference room.

Just when He inexplicably walked into the conference room, he was surprised to find that Cong Yunjie actually appeared here. As far as he could see, there were the other members of Serpent's Tail standing beside him.

"Cong Yun impeachment?" He inexplicably walked in front of Cong Yun and stopped.

"Yes. Colonel He, no, it should be General He. Cong Yunji nodded, then tightened his face and said, "General He, we already have a clue about the previous commission. ”

"Oh?" He inexplicably raised his eyebrows, then looked at Meng Haoran and asked, "Is that so?" ”

Meng Haoran smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Probably so!" Just a few days ago, the airspace that was originally relatively calm here was put into a tense state due to the intrusion of the Serpent's Tail, and we even fought with the ZAFT fleet that was chasing the Serpent's Tail. We won, but overall, the fight wasn't what we had hoped for. ”

"There's a reason for that. Commander Meng. Cong Yun interjected.

"I know. If I hadn't pressed too hard, you wouldn't have told me a word! Meng Haoran shook his head and said helplessly. Although he knew that the famous Giant Serpent's Tail was very reliable, as the innocent party who had harmed the pond fish, Meng Haoran couldn't give any positive evaluation to the Giant Serpent's Tail from this aspect.

Cong Yun moved the corners of his mouth, and after glancing at He Inexplicable, he said lightly: "It can be announced now." ”

After barely figuring out what was going on, He inexplicably raised his hand to signal everyone to do a good job, and then let Cong Yun impeach him to play freely.

Cong Yunqi looked at his partners and shouted. "Li De."

"Me?" Li De was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and asked himself. He didn't expect that Cong Yun's impeachment would ask him to report on the progress of the commission in front of the two generals at this important moment.

"Li De, you go." Lolita, who was standing on the side, shouted in a low voice after poking Li De's arm from her elbow.

In desperation, Li De had no choice but to step onto the podium under the gloating eyes of his partners.

After looking around, Li De gave a military salute and said the opening remarks. "Ahem. I'm Lid Weller. Former non-commissioned officer of a unit of the Earth Union. I've seen you, chiefs! ”

"Li De, let's get started." He inexplicably raised his hand to signal that Li De could start.

"Well, it's rude. We are members of the mercenary group Serpent's Tail. Everyone knows this fact. From a few months ago, our Serpent's Tail received a commission from Colonel He, who is now General He Moming. And this commission is to investigate all the relevant information of a mysterious organization. ”

"Although from the beginning, we did not know that this mysterious organization existed. However, out of the adherence to professional ethics, even if we were faced with a situation where we had no way to start, we still chose the option of starting to entrust. ”

"A month before the start of the mission, we had nothing. However, by chance after landing on Earth, we found relevant clues in other operations. In a moment of excitement, we returned to the universe without stopping, and moved towards the coordinates pointed to by this stumbled intelligence. ”

When Li De said this, he took out a piece of data memory from his arms, plugged it into the data interface next to the podium, pointed to the screen that lit up behind him, and said, "Everyone, please see, this is some strange man-made facilities that we found in that airspace. ”

At Li De's motion, everyone turned their eyes to the screen that appeared behind him.

After a few flashes on the white screen, a photograph with a dark background appeared. And in the center of that photograph is a man-made facility that He Moming and Feng Yun and others are extremely familiar with. It was a colonial satellite with the same appearance characteristics as the colonial satellite that was violently demolished by He Mo and Tengyun before.

As the picture continues to refresh and enlarge, a pattern drawn on the edge of the port entrance also appears in front of everyone's eyes.

"Library?" Looking at the half-open book pattern, He said subconsciously inexplicably.

"Yes." After hearing He Mo's voice, Li De nodded. At the moment when the picture was completely frozen, Li De's voice sounded slowly. "I remember General Ho's commission for us to investigate an organization called the Librarians. After a lot of hard work and serendipity, we finally found traces of this organization in a lost universe. It's also ridiculous to say that the place where they exist is actually the abandoned colonial satellite of the United Earth. It's just that the people of this organization pushed these satellites away from their original coordinates and hid them in other remote airspace. ”

"So even you famous mercenaries can't get news of them." Meng Haoran added.

"Correct. If it weren't for our deliberate search and some luck, we wouldn't have been able to find these rats hiding in the depths of the universe. Li De said mockingly.

"Just one place? And on this satellite is the headquarters of the librarian, who is in charge? He touched his chin inexplicably, and while thinking, he asked relevant questions.

"This is the first satellite we have discovered. In order not to startle the snake, we just glanced at it from a distance, gathered as much information as we could, and left. Li De pressed the play button on the podium, and pointed to the photo that was slowly changing under the automatic playback and said: "This is the second, this is the third, this is the fifth..." At the time of our discovery, we had discovered as many as seven such moons. ”

"Seven ??" Meng Haoran suddenly exclaimed. He had never imagined that an organization could have seven colonial satellites, even if it was an old-fashioned small colonial satellite, such a force could be hidden in the shadows all the time, without revealing a trace of horses' feet. Such a discovery made Meng Haoran jealous.

"Seven?" Unlike Meng Haoran's surprise, He Mo, who knew most of the plot, would not be surprised by these numbers. After all, in Gaiden, the power of the librarian has always been a mystery. If it weren't for the fact that Preya, the supreme scrivener within it, was secretly funny, I'm afraid Luo and the others wouldn't have discovered the librarian's base so quickly in the Gaiden.

And now, with Ho's inexplicable prior intervention and the activity of the giant snake's tail, the librarian's various bases have also been exposed in advance.

"Commander He. If all seven of the opposing colonies are guarded by armed forces, I'm afraid your task force won't be able to wipe them out in a short time. Meng Haoran's brows furrowed deeply. As one of the insiders, Meng Haoran naturally knew how tight the time of the task was. The task force must complete the task of encircling and suppressing this mysterious organization in the shortest possible time, otherwise, I am afraid that it will be too late to participate in the great war on the earth side that is based on high hopes between the earth union and the ZAFT. In this way, this task force, which has high hopes for the East Asian Federation, will also miss a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions there.

"Hmm. Let's take a look at other information before making a conclusion. He nodded inexplicably, raised his gaze, looked at Li De and asked, "What is the state of armament of these colonial satellites?" ”

"Please." Li De didn't say much, just opened the next file and played the content inside.

As the screen played, everyone could see that a large number of transport ships were slowly moving out of the satellite on the screen. It looks like it's moving something.

"Is this a transfer?" Graham, who had been sitting silently, asked with squinted eyes.

"It's a transfer, indeed." Li De nodded. "In the beginning, we just thought it was a normal shipment. But soon, this misunderstanding was broken. Under the keen attention of our member Lolita, the flaws of these transports are discovered. So, combined with a combination of intelligence, we concluded that a large-scale relocation operation was underway inside the satellite. In addition to this one, there are two colonies that have the same action. ”

"Three?" He nodded inexplicably, thought about it, and said, "If it's only four, it's acceptable." ”

"Definitely. If there are four, the task force can be divided to attack. It's just that these three suspected abandoned colonial satellites must be scouted. Meng Haoran added.

"Then, please ask Commander Meng." The meaning of Meng Haoran's words, He is inexplicably very clear, and he is also willing to push the boat along the river and send a favor along the water.

"That's what I'm supposed to do." Meng Haoran smiled and replied slowly.

After estimating the severity of the division of troops in his heart, He inexplicably looked at Li De again. When Li De noticed that He inexplicable's gaze fell on him, he immediately knew what He inexplicably meant.

"In addition, there is one more piece of information that needs to be explained."

"Say."

"Yes. Due to time issues and the fact that our whereabouts were being pursued after they were revealed, this information has not been extensively researched, so this information is only for reference. At this time, Li De's attitude was very cautious, which was diametrically opposed to the confident appearance before.

"Oh? Go ahead! He inexplicably expressed his position.

"According to a friend, there is a guy named Matthias who seems to be planning something and is aggressively recruiting reliable mercenaries."

"Matthias?" As soon as He Mo heard this name, his pupils suddenly shrank. He won't forget the name. After all, behind the name is the "family" that established the mysterious organization of librarians, and Matthias is the former patriarch of the "family", and the current patriarch is his sister Maltis. And in the next second, He inexplicably suddenly thought of the various grievances between Matthias and Maltis, and the most important thing was that in a certain period of time, Matthias suddenly launched a revenge war, vowing to regain the position of patriarch that once belonged to him. But the result is a pity, in the final battle, Matthias and Mattia ended up together. Subsequently, the librarian's scrivener's unit fell into the hands of Prea's photocopyers.

Now, judging from the information that the Serpent's Tail has discovered, this may be an opportunity.
