The news of the successful rescue of General Edmund Duke and his regiment soon reached the ears of Mengsk, and many people did not know what Mengsk's intentions were, and what could an enemy have to save?

But Monsk himself is well aware that Edmund Duke's link is particularly important, and now that the man has been successfully rescued, the next moment is to take the field himself.

Arcturus was very confident in convincing Edmund Duke to join the "Sons of Keha", at least eight levels of certainty, because he knew Duke very well.

As long as Duke can join the "Son of Keha", this will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the entire Federation, on the contrary, the "Son of Keha" can make a qualitative leap at this moment.

Four hours later.

Duke was already on top of Mengsk's flagship, and he looked out the window of his room into outer space, where the human fleet was at war with the Zerg, but there was no danger here, not a single bug could get close to it.

He stood in front of the window and sighed and sighed, he couldn't think of the person who rescued him or the one he had always wanted to swallow alive, Mengsk brought him into danger and rescued him from danger, so to speak, all this was directed by him, and now is it to thank him for saving himself from danger? What a hilarious scene.

This feeling of being toyed with and applauded, Duke felt very ashamed, but now he can only sigh, he has become a king and a loser, and now he has been placed under house arrest, what else can he do?

After a while, Arcturus personally approached General Duke.

"Huh! General, don't come unharmed! Mengsk said with a smile, there is General Warfield on the front line, he doesn't have to be afraid of anything, the most important thing for him now is to "pull Duke into the water" is the first big thing.

Seeing Mengsk's ugly face, Duke wanted to scold, but reason told him that he couldn't, he still held back, and he sighed helplessly: "What do you want?" You're a cunning fellow, Mengsk! You can't save me for no reason, what do you want? ”

Actulos: "Hehehe! I believe that it would be a great loss for humanity for a general of his calibre to die on such an occasion. ”

Duke: "Isn't that good news for you, seeming?" ”

With a pair of sheepskin gloves in his hands, Actulos took out a cigar and lit it, then walked to the window next to Duke, "Of course, this is good news for us, but it's also bad news for me. Although we are hostile, that doesn't stop me from appreciating your talent. General, you are one of the few outstanding generals I have ever seen, and among the few people I admire, the general is at the top of the list. Mengsk did not hesitate to express his appreciation.

Duke: "Hey, hey! Go ahead! Arcturus, your true intentions! I don't think you're here to praise me! ”

When Mengsk heard this, he fell into a brief silence, he took a slow puff of his cigarette, and puffed on the smoke, he looked sideways at Duke, "Join us!" ”

"Haha," Duke daxiao, "what do you think I should answer you?" ”

Mengsk's expression was very relaxed, and he flicked the cigarette ash in his hand lightly, and said, "Let me analyze it briefly." ”

"The Federation sent you to support Antiga at the cost of abandoning the Sara system, but..."

"Huh! You have a lot of responsibilities! The fall of the fifth shijie and the destruction of the Nimitz fleet, now, the main star of Antiga is mine again, and the Federation no longer has any control over Antiga, in short, the Antiga system is no longer owned by the Federation! ”

"And you, your responsibility is not small! Let me guess, it is inevitable that you will go to court-martials when you go back, and the lightest punishment will be to sit in prison! You tell me? Checkmate! ”

Duke had already restrained his smile when he heard these words, his face was extremely gloomy, and Mengsk's words spoke to his sore spot, how could the shrewd Duke not think of it? Unexpectedly, as a victorious general, his first defeat was so miserable.

Mengsk changed the subject, "The current government is crumbling, the entire star sector, the flames of rebellion everywhere have become unstoppable, even the Moriath Commonwealth and Yumojie have begun to wage war against the planets on the edge of the Federation, this regime is not far from the moment of complete collapse, General!" A new regime is about to be born, and he will also replace this old shijie, and this liliang is the 'son of Keha'! How do you choose? ”

"Me! Awaiting your reply, General! With that, Mengsk had already left, and the star-lit cigarette butts on the ground were flattened by his foot.

General Duke was left alone.

It was a difficult choice, and cigarette butts appeared in the ashtray beside him. An hour passed, and another hour passed. Duke never said a word, his heart was contemplating and struggling, this time he came to a fork in the road in life, he had to make a choice, and this choice will affect the rest of his life, and it is difficult to turn back, to be precise, no matter which path he chooses, as long as he chooses, there will be no turning back.

There are only two options.

One is to join the "Son of Keha", in this way, it is bound to have a great impact on his reputation, and he is not sure whether the "Son of Keha" can win the war, he really wants him to analyze rationally, he doesn't think that Keha can win this war, Keha This point is always not enough to see, for the military structure of the Federation, Edmund can be very understanding, and this is what Mengsk desires the most, of course, there is also Duke's excellent leadership ability, although this defeat, but a loss can not hinder his excellent ability.

And the second option is stubbornness, which also means the end of life, obviously, Mengsk will not let the tiger return to the mountain.

Four hours have passed, has Edmund figured it out?

His cigarette had been smoked, and the frown he had been furrowing a little loosened a little, and at last, he got up, and he left his room, his mind having made a choice, and now he was going to find Mengsk.

……

Captain's room of the USS Hyperion.

Half an hour ago, Kellygan came to the "Hyperion" from the main star of Antiga, the battle on the ground is basically not too worrying, as long as the main force of the bugs is contained in outer space, there will not be much danger on the ground, and the main force of the bugs is at war with the fleet of the Protoss, it is impossible for them to send more reinforcements to the main star of Antiga, what the bugs are most eager for is the genetic sequence of the Protoss, although the human race has aroused great interest from the Lord, but compared with the Protoss, the human race is not very attractive.

And here on the main star of Antiga, it is only a matter of time before the bugs are eliminated.

"You're doing a great job this time, Lieutenant!" Mengsk stood in front of the window of the captain's room and looked out into outer space, his own fleet was fighting with the Zerg, and from his position, he could still see the Alpha fleet in low orbit, but their situation was a little bad, and the Zerg recognized them as fighting.

"Lieutenant! Can I help you? Mengsk still looked at the battlefield from afar, and his voice was low, neither fast nor slow. Kelly Gen on the side could only see his back.

"There's something I want you to report, Commander, we're ......" Kellygan had just finished speaking when the Captain's housekeeper in the room interrupted her.

The life housekeeper floated slowly and said, "Sir! General Edmund Duke asked to see him, and he was outside the hatch! ”

"Oh?" Turning around, "Please!" He looked at Kellygan again, "Lieutenant, I'll talk about that later." ”

"Good! Then I'll come over later! Kellygan nodded.

"Nope! Just wait here! Mengsk said.

"Yes! Commander! Kellygan's graceful body, which had been about to move, stopped.

The external hatch of the captain's room opened, and Edmund Duke walked in, he was still wearing the uniform of a Federation admiral, but he did not wear a hat, as a soldier, he did not have long hair, and he seemed to be much older. He glanced around the captain's room for a moment, and there were only two people inside, both of whom he knew.

"General!" Mengsk smiled and walked from the window to the living room of the captain's room, where he reached out and made a gesture to sit down, and sat down with him. Duke didn't hesitate too much and sat across from Arcturos, while Kelligan stood behind Monsk.

"How's it going? General, you still have time to think about it. Mengsk said with a smile.

Duke, who was sitting across from him, didn't answer him immediately, he once again picked up a box of Mengsk's cigarettes from a transparent glass table in front of him, smoked a cigar and lit it, Kellygan stood motionless, her face was unwavering, as if she were a perfect sculpture, she had no reason or qualification to interject, so there was only so much she could do, but no one would underestimate the lieutenant.

Mengsk was very patient, and he smoked silently, waiting for the other party's reply.

Duke took a deep breath and was silent for a moment before he said, "No, I've already made a decision, I'm joining you!" ”

Speaking of this, Duke sighed helplessly.

Mengsk didn't have much turmoil on the surface, but he was in ecstasy inside, and he quickly showed a happy smile, "I firmly believe that the addition of the general can play a huge role in promoting the whole revolution." Congratulations on making a wise choice, and congratulations to us! ”

Duke: "So..."

"No problem!" Mengsk preemptively said: "The 'Alpha Fleet' will still be retained, I will not make any changes to your formation, and you are still the supreme commander of this fleet, and we will do our best to build your flagship, I guarantee that this ship will definitely be better than the 'Nord II'." ”

"Forgive me for talking too much! Aren't you afraid that I will defect? When Duke heard this, he was a little surprised, so that his fleet could have stabbed him in the back when it was restored, should he be said to be wise or stupid?

Mengsk smiled again, and his expression didn't seem to care about it in the slightest, "Use people without suspicion, don't use suspicious people, this is my style." Of course, there's no turning back when you make your choice, isn't it? You and I are smart people, General! ”

"yes!" Duke sighed, he knew very well that there would be no good end for him to fall on both sides, as long as he joined the "Son of Keha", although Mengsk did not say it, but Duke knew very well that in order to show his allegiance, it was indispensable to vote, so that he would completely cut off the possibility of returning to the Federation.

He was originally a guilty man, and when he returned to the headquarters and waited for a military court, if the Federation learned that he had defected, even if he stabbed Mengsk in the back at that time, what would he gain? The grass on the wall never ends well, so he is willing to do such a role.

"Then I should call you," Duke said. As soon as these words came out, Mengsk knew that he had made his position clear, and the next step was to see how he actually performed.

"Feel free! You can call me by my name! Mengsk said.

"Huh! It's a bit unaccustomed, so I'll call you 'Leader'! Duke said.

At this time, Mengsk stood up, "Welcome to the team, General!" ”
