Chapter 263: Return
“…… Therefore, it is not so much Speaker Rasmussen who created the cavalry, but rather the professor at the University of Iceland and the current chief scribe, Marven Murphy. Greg created the Cavalry. Although Greg used to have an academic close relationship with the two members of the Seven Society that formed the ACA, the scientists of the Seven Society in the early days of the ACA were all from top scientific research teams, and if this was really to be investigated, I am afraid that the First Academy of Sciences of the League would also have to be dismissed by half......

Spring has arrived, because the wind is not so cold anymore.
The town remained as before, silent early, or rather, fell into a deep sleep earlier than ever.
Linya sat on her mother's tombstone with her eyes closed, her knees folded, the cold stone already warmed by the girl's body temperature, and the refreshing night breeze was like a mother's smile.
The stars were still twinkling, above the girl's head.
Linya sat quietly, without any expression or movement, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep, and after hours, she had not even changed her posture.
"What's next for you?"
This calm was finally broken by the questioning coming from behind, and the young sheriff in high leather boots came to the girl's side at some point, kept a distance of two meters from her, and asked questions.
In this closed town, Simon is one of the few people who knows what happened in Philadelphia.
"I may need to take a moment to find the meaning of my real fight, or what I want to protect."
Linya slowly opened her eyes, glanced at the young sheriff with his hands in his pockets, staring at the sky, and then lowered her eyes.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with your idea." Simon. Linnell takes off her large-brimmed hat. Sighing, "It may be too naïve to be anachronistic, but it's definitely not wrong." ”
"Jeunese said something that I don't think I really understood until now." Linya looked up at the twinkling starry sky.
"Man, a small animal, cannot really compete with nature. All right and wrong become unimportant in the face of human insignificance, and if you dwell too much on the consequences, then you cannot move forward. ”
"So, we just have to do what we think is right." Simon did not agree or deny this statement, but simply gave his own comment.
"It's just that there's absolutely nothing wrong with saving as many people as you can."
Linya was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly opened her eyes.
"Yes, that's all. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. ”
Linya's expression changed suddenly, and like a schoolboy who suddenly understood the answer, the girl straightened up, was silent for a moment, and then spoke.
"I'm going to find a way to get into the Privy Council and stop this ...... Or at least, let the harm to civilians in this war be within the scope of my control. ”
"Are you serious?"
Simon frowned. raised an objection, "I don't think you're fit to play politics." ”
"When I'm leaving. Uncle said the same thing," Linya smiled softly, then shook her head, "More than ten years ago, I wasn't fit to be a warrior. ”
"It's different," Simon shook his head. "It's two different things, and you might lose more."
"I understand that life at Icarus has nothing to do with having fun." Linya smiled bitterly, "But she also sacrificed a lot of things, and I have no reason to be worse than her." ”
"There's no reason you're worse than anyone else." Simon smiled helplessly. "That's why you're here today."
"So I know you know me." Linya gave a long-awaited smile as she stood up, then put her hands on her chest and sighed, "At least...... It was also an opportunity for me to atone for her sins. ”
"Just carry on her legacy, you haven't really done anything wrong." Simon corrected Linya again, then smiled wryly and pulled out his phone.
"Looks like I can't nest here anymore."
"Where are you going?" There was a hint of surprise in Linya's voice.
"My years of work, experience and resume could have been transferred to the Icelandic Public Security Department a long time ago, and the police chief had an impression of me, and I thought it might be a path into politics."
Simon turned to look at Linya before shrugging his shoulders, "You're not alone in doing what you think is right. ”
"Thank you." Linya didn't think about it for long, she swallowed the words of dissuasion, and then smiled at Simon, "Thank you very much." ”
"Hmmm......"
Simon nodded, and was about to say something, when suddenly the phone vibrated violently.
"I'm sorry." Simon nodded, then turned on his phone, and immediately after, the young man's face changed suddenly.
"It's ......"
"What's wrong?"
Linya took a few steps forward and spoke with concern.
"Urgent notice from Reykjavík," Simon explained after glancing up at Linya, "police agencies are on high alert for possible ACA attacks...... This is a Level A Alert Notice! ”
"Class A Alert Notice! Could it be that something is happening in Iceland?! ”
Linya was also stunned for a moment, as a high-level knight, she naturally knew the condition for the A-level warning notice to be issued, that is, the possibility of an attack on Iceland itself!
"Go to the turbofan, I'm going to rush back right away!"
Linya didn't hesitate to ask, Simon frowned and hesitated, but nodded right away.
"I'll drive you."
Without any hesitation, the two men rushed down the hill one after the other, jumped into the jeep, and drove in the direction of the police station apron.
At this moment, when Barrett informed Payne to go to Hebburn and was killed, the girl who was preparing to go to Iceland did not know that this A-level alert notice was the last order issued by the Remaining Command.
***
"Your Excellency the Knight, we have just received such a report."
At the same time, Sauron, who had just finished work in Philadelphia and was about to rest, received this order. Rasmussen.
Sauron looked at the adjutant who hurriedly pushed the door in, he had planned to spend the night on the couch, so he did not return to his room. The young chief knight stood up, he knew that the adjutant would show such an expression and enter the office without knocking, there must be a very urgent situation.
Like the chief scribe who valued rules and dogma more than efficiency, Sauron's friendly and approachable habits earned him a lot of impression points.
"A-level alert notice, what's going on, the council hasn't heard anything."
Sauron was stunned for a moment when he saw the report. Looking up at the adjutant and asking rhetorically, it stands to reason that although the remaining command can issue this order, the warning notice in this situation should be issued directly to the meeting at the same time, which means that the local garrison should receive the report at the same time as the council, but looking at the time above, this report is not from the council, but from the feedback from the garrison command below.
"Does the Speaker know about this?"
Sauron looked at the adjutant in front of him. Frowning, he didn't continue to ask, because the adjutant in front of him obviously didn't know either, but asked another question.
"I just found out, Sauron."
As he spoke, the office door was pushed open again, and Isaac. Rasmussen put on an overcoat and walked straight in.
"Your Excellency, Speaker."
Sauron and the lieutenant gave a knightly salute at the same time. Isaac, on the other hand, frowned and shook his hand, signaling that there was no need to be formal. Then speak directly.
"And we've cut off contact with the left-behind headquarters now, I'm afraid things have changed."
Isaac had tried to contact the Remaining Command, but there was no response.
"Could it be ......" Sauron was stunned for a moment, gasped, and looked at his father.
"We've let our guard down these days, and Jess says a traitor. We subjectively assume it was Servette, and thus ignore the potentially more terrible betrayer......" Isaac shook his teeth.
"Could it be the Chief Scribe?!" Sauron flicked his right hand, "But why, what reason does he have?!" ”
"I don't know, for whatever reason. He fooled everyone and made Servete a substitute. Isaac raised his hand and motioned for Sauron to remain calm, "But the situation is not necessarily the worst yet, and there may be other accidents, and my side cannot be immediately mobilized on a large scale, which is why I came to you." ”
"You immediately take someone back to Iceland, contact Payne who set out earlier, dismiss Marven from his duties and put him under house arrest, if he has betrayed, kill him, and never let him take the information of the cavalry out."
"Understood."
"I'll go with you."
Just as Sauron nodded in agreement, a voice came from the door, and the two turned their heads to find Ling Yu and Helis standing at the door—the girl in the silver cloak was fine, while Ling Yu was panting and obviously galloping.
"How do you ......"
Sauron subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to ask Ling Yu a question, but when he looked down, he saw Helis's spinning cat ears.
"I'm sorry I hacked your device because I still have some issues that I haven't resolved." Ling Yu reached out and touched Helis's back, "But now I already have the answer." ”
"Let's not talk about that answer for the time being," Sauron frowned, not knowing if it was because of the pervasive number of princesses, or because of Ling Yu's words, "You haven't recovered your combat strength yet, I'm afraid I won't be able to bring you." ”
"We're not going to war, and I don't have a TF in the cavalry." Ling Yu shook his head, although most of the knights were brought out, there were at least one hundred TFs on Iceland, plus the two hundred people that Payne carried, three hundred TFs were enough to deal with any situation.
"But no matter how many people there are, you won't be enough, because this is definitely not just Marven's betrayal, this is the real purpose of Charl, or the 'candlewax' plan!"
Ling Yu's words made an incredible expression appear on everyone's faces.
"I wondered why Char staged a coup d'état in the ACA, he is not the kind of person who likes power, he did it so that the whole ACA would cooperate with his actions and get what he wanted!"
"All the numbers of the Ark and Caritas! That's what he's really interested in! ”
That's why Char instigated the ACA to launch a death-like Washington attack. Morgan's mutiny made it impossible for him not to know the existence of the Cyprus plan, and all his actions were aimed at trapping us all in Philadelphia! ”
Ling Yu gritted his teeth, apparently he had made a similar mistake with Isaac - thinking that Jeunse's so-called traitor was Servette, ignoring that Marven had also been the object of suspicion.
If Marven is the real chess piece, they will all be strung together in one qiē, and all the irrationalities will suddenly be solved!
"Specific to the tactical link, he will definitely attack the civilian city to contain your power, Marven will not run away with the information in disgrace, if there is really something, then obviously Marven has a way to temporarily seize the control of the ark from Karitas, he will act as an internal response, and Char will definitely attack the ark, this is what he needs most, so the number of people is meaningless, the control of the ark is the key!"
Ling Yu bypassed Sauron and looked directly at Isaac, and only after saying this paragraph did he look at Sauron, "Bring your most elite team, what we have to do is to find a way to prevent the situation from expanding and interfere, besides ......"
"If I were truly the Son of God, Karitas would listen to me and become our greatest dependence!"
Ling Yu raised his voice and directly gave the two of them a reason that they couldn't refuse!
I've fought with Karitas online, and you're going to need mine so you don't get straight to the plasma anti-aircraft cannon and turn it into a mass of high-temperature residue.
Helis was more straightforward and displayed her words on the electronic board raised with one hand, and the arrogant princesses were even a little unpolite.
"Alright," Isaac thought for a few seconds, then nodded, "Now I only have one commuter transport plane, and the three of you can take seven more men, and I'll tell the council to put the cavalry in order, and then I'll follow you." ”
"Besides, I'll contact Payne right now and ask him to cooperate with you, and I will give you the highest authority, and you must stop Char at any cost!"
"Okay." Sauron nodded and looked at Ling Yu, "Let's go!" (To be continued......)
