311 Determination and vacillation
With the arrival of the Steel, and the retreat of Archiport's troops, the battle at the Mitatori Island exercise ground finally ended. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAlthough Galion suffered heavy losses, it was not a loss to capture Falcon's DC remnants, after all, the tactical goal had been achieved.
Latoni, Major Kai, Irum and others on Mitaki Island also joined up with the ATX team on the Steel, and then went to the Izu base to rest and replenish, and then continued to pursue Archiport's troops. Of course, when the Steel is replenishing at the Izu base, it will also unload important goods in its own warehouse at the same time.
If it weren't for Archiport's request to come to the coastal areas of Japan because he was commissioned by "Rose", Captain Otetsu actually wanted to use a transport plane to deliver the important goods in his cargo hold to the Izu base.
Incidentally, because of the instructions received before the start of the battle with Latony, the Raptor Schunabel flew directly to Waterbird Island unmanned, and finally returned to the Steel Gnaku via automatic navigation. Because they have become accustomed to seeing the GM Research Institute come up with some scaring things from time to time, such unmanned technology, except for some of the newly replenished crew members on the Steel, everyone else is no longer surprised.
As the captain of the new special combat skills training team and the oldest pilot on the Steel, Major Kai has undoubtedly become the captain of the PT unit of the Steel. Although it was a shame that the prototype machine was taken away, the post-war summary meeting was still to be held.
After exchanging information with each other that they and others knew, the most important thing finally arrived, and that was Latony's performance on the battlefield. Having figured it out, Latoni faced everyone's questions and told the true identity of the opponent she was fighting against at that time.
"Is this true?" Major Kai asked solemnly.
"Theola, like me, is a survivor of the School." Latoni nodded with great affirmation, "When Shool was disbanded, Sister Xuefeng wanted to take over the school directly, but it turned out that everyone had disappeared. In the end, Sister Xuefeng only got the list of everyone who still survived. ”
"Is that the person you've been looking for for a long time?" Major Kai didn't hesitate to believe Latony's answer, and then sighed with a hint of helplessness, "I didn't expect it to be on the enemy's side." ”
"After the head of the school, Adela Keho, became the vice commander of DC, Sister Xuefeng and I already expected it." Before, he was only emotionally abnormal because of a sudden encounter on the battlefield, but now Latoni has been able to analyze it calmly, "Originally, we were also suspicious, but until the end, all the battlefields that fought with DC, and the various lists that we got after the war, there was no one at all. (At this time, Theora and the others were still in the cradle of the earth and had not played at all.) And the cradle of the earth can be said to be DC's henchman secret, and even after the end of the war, there is not much information flowing out)"
"I'm sorry, Latony." With an apologetic face, Irum folded his hands and apologized to Latoni, after all, if Arad hadn't blocked it, it was estimated that Irum would have killed Theola along with Falcon. If he does, even if Irum makes the right choice (Hayabusa also has a red-painted sister plane, so losing one won't be a big problem), Irum will probably always feel guilty about Latoni in the future.
Although he is a playboy, although he is a playboy, although he is a playboy who is six years old and sixty years old, he has to say it three times because it is very important, but Irum is also a very, very important person who pays attention to feelings and companions, and from now on, Mao Lin, who is a real girlfriend, except for occasionally complaining a few times to Xuefeng and other girlfriends, is still very satisfied and trusting Irum at other times.
"No, it doesn't matter. At that time, it was the right thing to do to destroy the Hayabusa directly. What's more, I didn't explain the situation to you, and you don't know Theola's identity. Latoni said this, but the trace of fear on her face was still clearly visible.
In short, Irum will probably become Latoni's henchman for some time to come.
After Major Kai hugged his chest helplessly and pondered, Hibikisuke, who was also calm, asked, "Latony, are there any other survivors of the School?" ”
"In addition to Theora, so is Arad, who is still unconscious." At the mention of this, Latony's face was even darker, after all, although Theora and Falcon were saved, Arad was really knocked down. If it weren't for the strong luck protector, Arad probably would have really gone.
"I'm so sorry!" Irum was ready to stand behind Latoni immediately.
After shaking her head slightly, Latoni continued, "In addition to the duo of Theora and Arad, there is also Sister Sakura. In addition to these three people, everyone at the school has ......"
"Sister Sakura?" The others looked at Latoni quizzically.
"Nagisa Sakura is the head of the school, and she is like an older sister to us." Latoni explained wistfully.
"That means it's okay to be a family member!" Brooke makes up for Irum.
"I'm so sorry!!" Irum already wants to kneel!
"Since Theora and Arad are in DC, then Sakura Sister must be there too." Latoni made a sure guess.
"What will happen to you if they appear in front of you in the future?" Major Kai asked the most important question.
"If you become an enemy, you can only fight." After Latoni said helplessly, she continued with an extremely determined expression, "But Theola's appearance was very strange at that time, it should have been mentally manipulated, and there had been such a thing in the school before. ”
"What!" Brooke, who has the strongest sense of justice, wanted to stand up, but Hibiki pressed his shoulder, and Kusuha on the other side covered his mouth in disbelief.
Latoni said her truest thoughts with a firm expression: "So, I want to save Sister Sakura and them from the curse of the school, just like the original Sister Yukikaze, and then the four of them will live together!" ”
"But it's incredibly difficult." Major Kai said seriously.
"I know, but I'm not going to give up until ...... Sorry, this is my personal wish. If it interferes with everyone, I'll leave the federal army......"
"What are you talking about, Latony!" Hearing Latony's words, Longsheng couldn't help but say loudly, "You are our comrade-in-arms!" If you can't even fulfill the wishes of your comrades, you can't become a hero at all! ”
"Indeed, we are comrades-in-arms, comrades-in-arms who have experienced life and death, little Latony." Although not as excited as Longsheng, Exelin's eyes were full of determination with a smile on her face.
"I almost made an irreparable mistake before, and this time it can be regarded as my apology." Irum said firmly.
"In the DC Campaign and the L5 Campaign, GM Research has helped us a lot, so let's take it as our return gift." Staying on the Steel since the beginning of the salvage mission, Ledice said Ledice, who was in charge of guarding.
In the same vein, everyone present, except Lamia, looked at Latoni with the same determination and trust, as if to say:
Don't worry, we'll do our best to help you get Seora and Sister Sakura back!
"Latony, have you ever heard of a one-man team? And now you're the vice captain of the teaching team, so do whatever you want! Finally, Major Kai said to Latoni in a tone of equality, not superiority.
After all, although Latoni has left the GM Institute, the roots are still there, and in terms of the current status of the GM Institute and the importance of Latoni in the Institute, the real status is actually a little higher than Uncle Kai himself.
"Everyone......" Latoni said with a hint of tears as she looked at the people around her with emotion.
"Missions, though, are the top priority!" Major Kai finally stood up and concluded, "At worst, you will have to choose the undesirable option. ”
"Hmm!" Latoni wiped her eyes and said firmly, "I understand! ”
Later, in the Gnaku of the Steel, Lamia shrunk into the cockpit under the pretext of rebuilding the airframe, and closed the cockpit door, cutting off all view from the outside world. He took out a keyboard and began typing.
Trying to pull hostile people over is simply not a normal idea. If a soldier can't complete his mission, he has no value in existing. But why, I ......
While her fingers were rapidly tapping on the keyboard, Lamia's attention was involuntarily focused on the previous meeting. There seems to be some particular fluctuation or impulse in the thinking circuit, but it is not obvious and cannot be resolved.
Just as Lamia's attention was getting more and more drawn, suddenly the screen in the bow angel's cockpit turned red, and a line of flashing black letters appeared at the top of the screen.
Error sending the letter? The failure of the secret communication device is already certain, is the shock when it arrived here the cause? Just like my language circuit, there are no parts available to fix it. Is it just a matter of gathering information while waiting for the other party to come into contact? Or......
With this sudden mistake, Lamia's attention was pulled back again.
A few hours later, the Steel returned to the Izu base and began resupply. Several pilots aboard the Steel were given a short break to leave the base temporarily. Of course, Longsheng was captured by Captain Willetta, who heard the news.
Lamia, who was dragged out of the base by Axelin, seemed to have discovered something, and after finding an excuse to get rid of Axelin temporarily, she said to a corner: "Don't worry, there is no one else now, come out." ”
A beautiful woman in civilian clothes with short pink and purple hair walked out of the corner facing Lamia: "...... Worthy of W17. I should have hid it well. ”
In this regard, Lamia said directly: "Your movements are too perfect, and humans can't master the timing so much every time." ”
The beautiful woman with short pink-purple hair nodded slightly and said, "...... You're doing a good job. ”
Lamia asked noncommittally, "W16...... What was your name when you went on a mission? ”
"Azidna." Achedna replied, but then said, "But this kind of thing means nothing to us. ”
Lamia nodded and said, "yes." ”
It didn't seem to be going around in circles, Azidna said directly: "W17, the communication with you is interrupted, and Lord Raymond is very worried...... Here you go. ”
Lamia took the device from Achedna's hand: "Communication? The next instruction? ”
Azedna nodded and said, "Yes." ”
After trying, Lamia said helplessly: "Still can't be contacted...... It may be that the communication device is also malfunctioning. Forget it, what's the content? ”
"Isn't it just a confidential communication device?" Azdena frowned at this, and then said, "I just said 'hand it over'." ”
Lamia said casually: "If it is the captain, I will definitely say that no matter what means are used, you must master it." ”
Azdena glanced at Lamia suspiciously, and handed out another device: "This is a backup device that I am using for the time being, you can use it first." Later, I will send the relevant equipment and tools. ”
Lamia sighed slightly, then took over the backup device and said solemnly: "Understood, the instructions have been accepted." ”
Azedna, who didn't care about this, nodded and said, "Okay, W17, report the current situation." ”
"The mission has been completed to the second stage. And then ......" Lamia seemed to want to say something about Latoni and the others, but in the end she omitted it, "No, it's done!" ”
After getting the information she wanted, Azedna turned around without hesitation and disappeared into the darkness again: "Then I'll go back." ”
…… I said something superfluous. We, our words, just carry out the tasks given! ……
…… That's right, that's all it takes, and that's the only way it makes sense...... (To be continued.) )
