Chapter 5: Day and Night
Presumably because DG was quite satisfied with the conversation between the two in the cockpit, and was holding back his strength to continue watching Roger's jokes, they hadn't broken out of BETA's zone of control until the morning sun rose behind the shock.
"I can...... Shall you go down and take a look? While Roger was racking his brains on how to avoid BETA, the Imperial General suddenly made his first request to him since the two came into direct contact.
Terrible request.
But there is nothing wrong with this requirement in itself, as DG has reminded countless times that the tactical aircraft is visualized using retinal projection technology, which means that even if the two are in the cockpit at the same time, Roger is still the only one who can see the outside world (although in many cases it is only simplified). At most, the general saw the light of various instruments or diodes in the cabin, and it must have been very boring along the way......
But if you go out because of this, isn't it a little too bold?
If Roger were to be replaced with any of the human ace guards, there would only be one dead word for the two of them to break away from the tactical aircraft on foot in the BETA de facto control zone. The smallest BETA is also better than the strongest and fastest humans, and you want to go out at will when staying in the cab may not guarantee absolute safety?
Fortunately, Roger is no ordinary person.
Taking advantage of the general's release, he could just order DG to properly sweep the surrounding BETA, so he agreed to the general's request almost without thinking about it.
Even the good opportunity to be courteous was completely ignored, such as "Your Highness, did you bring paper?"
Thankfully, he didn't ask.
General Zhengwei, His Royal Highness Youyang of the Huangwu Academy really didn't order Roger to stop advancing in order to solve personal problems.
She said to take a look, but she was really just standing at the cockpit of the shock, condescendingly taking in all the surrounding scenery.
Three minutes.
The fifteen-year-old girl stood at the cockpit of the shock for more than three minutes before she sat back on Roger's lap with a calm face. By the standards of a tactical manual, this dwell time would have been at least five or six rounds illuminated by the rays.
But Roger never said a word, because he probably knew what the girl wanted to do. And the same or something like that, he had just done in the middle of the night.
“…… My fault, everything is my fault. ”
Sure enough, not long after Zhen Zhen re-embarked on the journey, the voice of Youyang of the Huangwu Academy echoed leisurely in the cockpit.
See, this is the standard Madonna template, DG commented in Roger's mind.
"The sacrifice of 36 million subjects was all caused by my useless general." Although he didn't know how good His Highness General Lu Dao's eyesight was, Roger guessed that she had at least seen several times the bleak ruins near Tieyuan back then. Moreover, the country of Heguo is much more developed in all aspects than South Korea a week ago.
It's been more than a year since Roger first set foot on the Korean Peninsula. He himself has some things that he can't bear after a hundred battles and has tempered enough nerves, what kind of pressure will it bring to the fifteen-year-old girl in front of him, Roger guessed.
So someone thinks that they can only use gags to adjust the atmosphere now. "If it weren't for Your Highness's accurate grasp of time, there would have been two more in that number."
"It's not ......a pity for me to die as a sinner," Obviously, this lame diversion of the topic did not work, and the eyes of the imperial general began to turn red.
Roger began to realize that he had obviously chosen the wrong direction for his self-made cleverness just now, but now he could only continue to fool around, otherwise even if he forced to change the topic, it would only make the current atmosphere more embarrassing. "However, the empire still needs a great general to boost morale."
"Shadow dancers or heirs, and so on. I have a twin sister since I was a child...... "Originally, the topic that Roger was looking for was also lame, but who knew that after the general muttered half a sentence, he was reminded a little by something, and his tone changed slightly.
The topic of twin sisters seems to have the value of digging deeper, "Your Highness's sister must be as bright and radiant as Your Highness." ”
“…… Her name is Nightstyx. Since he was a child, he was sent to a distant relative, Edgeworth's house, as an adopted son. I owe her a lot...... "It's not the credit of someone's persuasion at all, it's just that this fifteen-year-old girl just wants to vent."
So Roger could only listen obediently, trying not to talk too much.
Since ancient times, in the Huangwuyuan, a wealthy family that gave birth to generals, the twins have been superstitionally regarded as a bad omen for "dividing the world". And the only way to "crack" is to send the one who was born later incognito and send it as far away as possible.
However, this does not mean that the child who was sent away can live an ordinary life from now on. You must know that being twins is the best stand-in or shadow dancer talent. So the child who was sent away not only did not enjoy the treatment of the general's relatives, but was also ready to make sacrifices for the general at any time.
Yes, the kind that gives one's life at any time, sacrifice.
"If I do die here, it won't necessarily be a bad thing for the night. At least the life of a general that I have enjoyed for the past fifteen years has been hers ever since. "Huangwuyuan Youyang's eyes seemed to be flashing with some indescribable colors.
But let's be honest, that's not what Roger wants to see. After all, no matter what, even an ordinary doll is better than a general who has awakened suicidal tendencies, isn't it? So he had to keep changing the subject. "That Night Highness must be as good as you, if you have three longs and two shorts, Your Night Highness must be the saddest one. So, please take care. ”
"There may be some truth to what you say. Although my sisters and I have never met, I will be upset for a long time if something happens on the other side of the night. ”
"So ......"
"However, if I have always been a great general of the empire, I can only be my shadow for the rest of my life. Forever, I will never see the light ......"
(Why did you go back again?) And it still sounds like the most troublesome kind of wealthy palace doujia house douwen...... )
In any case, it is a good thing that the fifteen-year-old general has finally succeeded in turning the 15-year-old general from worrying about the country and the people to his parents. At least it sounds a little more relaxing than directly shouting that you want to die or live - if the general is going to commit suicide, can he complete the task without taking the initiative to stop it?
And unlike Youyang, who is just sitting on his lap, Roger has been driving the shock. Although it is actually handed over to DG for automatic control, it has to be put on a show on the surface, isn't it?
During the three minutes that the general was stunned at the cockpit door just now, DG released several small clones by shaking his feet, and cleaned up the first few soldier-level betas that came nearby. And from the memory of the soldier, I tried to collect as much as possible the strength and patrol range of the nearby beta population.
Since this is the only one that has been specialized for the search for people among the major types of BETA, and the others are all aimed at tactical aircraft, it is easy to squeeze out a safe escape route after killing these soldiers and then manipulating their corpses to spread false news.
Of course, the word safety is relative, after all, chasing tactical planes and even BETA of high-performance computers like DG also have, in case you are accidentally targeted, plus if you listen to the general's story of the past and get a little distracted and don't get rid of the enemy, if you want to survive, you can only expose your true strength......
Before he knew it, a thin layer of cold sweat had broken out in Roger's palms gripping the joystick.
It's as if both suicidal generals and literary generals don't look good for themselves.
So for the next few hours or so, Roger continued to deal with BETA, while carefully guiding the train of thought of Lord Yuyang of Huangwu Academy, trying to keep the latter in a healthy and upward state of mind.
This is obviously the job of a psychiatrist, so why would I be entrusted to a pure warrior to do it?
Roger was really distressed.
Then, he began to notice that the Shogun's side also seemed to be a little speechless.
Again...... What's wrong with it?
No matter how nervous Roger's side was, the Imperial General seemed to have finally made a second request after thinking about it repeatedly. "Can you ...... Stop one more ......"
Still coming?
"General, we've just turned north. The direction of progress now is the staging point for the first landing of BETA on the Korean Peninsula. I'm afraid the situation on the battlefield is even worse than before, and I personally recommend that you look no further. "Someone's bitter mouth.
It's a pity that the general still seems to be stubborn, "It's okay for a while...... This time, it will only take two minutes at most......"
"Staying an extra minute is also irresponsible for your safety! Fortunately, there was no accident just now, but if it stops again this time, the subordinates really can't guarantee it...... "It's strange, I didn't see the general so unreasonable just now."
Roger felt that something was wrong, and when he looked away, he was surprised to find that the unreasonable general even had a little red cheeks this time. "No guarantees! All you have to do is ...... Just clean up the connection between the reinforcement suit and the cockpit......"
Belch...... Worst......
How did you forget about this?!
Roger couldn't wait to raise his hand to slap himself, obviously he still thought about it when the general shouted to stop for the first time, why did he forget the key issue after a few hours had passed?
Damn it! It's just damn damn!!
I didn't say it, but I have to stop this time. Not only do you have to stop, but you also have to choose a secluded place in advance......
"DG, check the ...... for me"
"I'm not a toilet locator!"
"Do you have to be so direct?!"
"I'm not an insulated cushion, so I can say whatever I want......"
