"Lieutenant General Thomas, can you explain why you allowed the white ghost to swagger away in front of you?"

Holographic projections are arranged in a gloomy hall.

Thomas stands in the spotlight with a two-tiered structure of seats in front of him.

At the top are three chairs, the chair in the center has various reliefs representing the supreme status, and on it sits an old man in pajamas, but the figure of the old man is very faint and does not pay attention to it.

The chair on the left was slightly lower, and on it sat a kind old woman in a long robe and an intricate crown, with gentle eyes and a low gaze at Lieutenant General Thomas.

The chair on the right was lower, empty at the moment.

These three chairs are the symbols of the supreme power of the Sherman Empire.

Under the three chairs, there are eight figures in different costumes, three old generals with medals on their chests, two old men wearing the emblematic white robes of the House of Elders, two old men wearing ceremonial robes, and one young woman wearing a robe and veil.

This represents the military, the House of Elders, the Chancellor, the Holy See.

Although Lieutenant General Thomas is not low in the army, here he is still only qualified to use honorifics.

Why let go of the White Ghost?

"Because of public opinion."

Lieutenant General Thomas replied in a deep voice:

I couldn't have given the order to imprison the White Ghost or destroy the mech.

"This battle of extermination has been an outstanding victory, which is enough to boost the military prestige of the empire and the hearts of the people."

"The White Ghost has been regarded as a folk hero, and his heroic performance in the face of the Zerg has been recognized by the rank and file officers and the majority of soldiers."

"The decision to let him go is not because I cherish my reputation! Rather, it is considered that the whole country is now working together to fight against the insect plague and the evil federation! It is also in consideration of the empire's broad mind and tolerance for the people!"

He added:

"It wasn't a mistake, it was the only choice made given the circumstances."

"Of course, if the honorable ones decide that I must be held responsible for this matter, I will accept all punishments with all my heart!"

An old general said slowly: "Lieutenant General Thomas, you are not at fault, this is a great victory, we saved 26 million people at the hands of evil bugs, you have done a great job. ”

The white-robed old man in the House of Elders said: "The white ghost's appearance is very suspicious, before we are sure of his purpose, we must control him as soon as possible, he can be a hero if he wants to, but he must be a hero who obeys His Majesty and the empire." ”

The Secretary of State retorted: "There are all indications that this is a nobleman of our country who has excellent character and is motivated by the glory of the Imperial Star. ”

"No, you are wrong, the existence value of the nobles is given by His Majesty," the white-robed old man's gaze was a little cold, "His detachment from His Majesty's brilliance is itself a betrayal. ”

The Minister of State said, "Can't a mighty empire accommodate a hero of the people?" His contribution to the empire is indelible, and if it weren't for everything he did, if the insect plague broke out in a few years, more than ten years, we would have been pushed to the edge of the cliff!"

The white-robed old man said: "This can't change the objective fact that he is an uncontrollable factor. ”

"Alright."

An old and gentle voice came from the highest platform, and the old men who were arguing below immediately shut up.

The old woman sitting beside the emperor smiled:

If the empire can't tolerate even a young man with a full personality, why should it claim to be the number one power in the galaxy?

Praise him, praise him, give him enough credit, but need him to show up to receive it.

"When he kneels down in front of His Majesty, you can naturally lift his mask and make him a loyal dog of His Majesty, serving the glory of the Emperor Star."

"Keep asking, don't let General Thomas delay too long, he has to deal with the follow-up troubles."

"Yes."

"Lieutenant General Thomas, there is still a problem in the House of Elders, the white ghost's ghost mecha has shown extremely good performance, why hasn't the military studied this kind of mecha before?"

Thomas laughs, "Because it's not practical." ”

"Not practical?"

"Yes, Venerable Elder."

Thomas explains it simply:

"We have done a rigorous analysis of the data of that mecha, and according to the results of the preliminary analysis, this is a mecha specially designed for the Zerg, and the pilot must be a high-strength modified man."

Its strength, endurance, stability and response speed are all based on greatly reducing the number of buffer circuits, which has extremely high requirements for the driver's physical fitness.

"We have developed a lot of similar mechas, and we have tried many times to use genetically modified fighters as pilots, but the experimental results are not satisfactory, and we cannot ensure the balance between strength and speed."

He actually did it, and there must be a strong scientific research team behind it. This helps us find out who he really is.

"Moreover, it is a pure melee mech, if this mecha is in a frontal battlefield, it can't survive in the firepower network for too long, and it can't play any value."

"It's only for the Zerg."

Thomas paused, and then added:

"Of course, I think the Military Research Institute should restart a similar design now, in case there is a dangerous situation of buried swarms under the administrative star again."

"I must remind you that I am a general, and the deployment of the army is my specialty, the research and development of weapons and equipment, you need to talk to those guys who don't go to the battlefield about this topic."

The three veteran generals smiled faintly.

The Secretary of State suddenly asked, "What happened in the ten minutes when the white ghost burst into the underground swarm to detonate the Queen?" At that time, the live broadcast was cut off. ”

General Thomas, who had always been at ease, fell silent.

His eyes flickered slightly, with a bit of light in his eyes:

"Captain Grace fought alongside him and recorded the general process, do you want to see it? If you don't mind the horror element inside. ”

"This is a powerful soldier."

"All politics aside, if he is willing to serve the Empire, I will try to apply to be his commander."

The elder said, "You can just describe it briefly." ”

"The simple description is that he single-handedly killed the queen who was protected by layers of biters."

Zubin Star Battlefield, the edge of a man-made crater.

Captain Grace of the Imperial Special Forces is now facing the insects and corpses all over the ground below.

One by one, warships sailed into the atmosphere and began to bombard the remaining swarms, and the swarms that had lost their mothers were left with the instinct to flee.

It stands to reason that by this time, half of the insects will resist stubbornly;

But today's swarm seemed to be frightened in some way, and everyone scattered in panic.

Grace held on to the battery supply box and sat down slowly, listening to the sound of return in the team's voice.

I'm going back to recruit people again.

The team of thirteen killed four people.

If you look at the loss alone, Grace's heart is naturally extremely painful.

But he had predicted that most of the team would be wiped out, but now that he got the news that most of them were alive, it was much easier to accept it in his heart.

This is the fate of a warrior.

Grace sighed softly and took off his protective helmet at the Imperial soldiers who died at the bottom of the pit.

Grace gradually regained his ability to think calmly, and he frowned in thought.

It's so perverse.

The White Ghost is so powerful that it's abnormal!

However, the white ghost is hiding in the mecha, so that Grace can't judge whether the white ghost itself is too powerful, or the mecha has done too much technology and ruthlessness.

After the allied commandos began to charge, the battle picture can only be described as tragic.

Ordinary soldiers stepped forward to tear a path through and cover the charge of several reinforced squads that served as sharp knives.

When the soldiers couldn't rush, they were surrounded, blocked, and devoured by the swarm, and all the pressure fell on these sharp knife teams.

No one retreated.

Even if everyone is full of resentment on weekdays, feeling that the empire is oppressing these transformed warriors;

But at this moment, in the face of the Zerg, the Queen, and the mission, everyone fought with everything.

There are just too many bugs.

Because of the existence of the Zerg flagship-level protective shield above, the most powerful fire support of their own ships could not be reached, and they could only rely on part of the firepower of those ships in the rear.

When the Sharp Knives were still more than a thousand meters away from the mother worm, they fell into a real wave of worms.

There is simply no way to move forward.

Even if they have strong physical fitness and individual fire system, they still have despair and powerlessness in the face of the layers of insect swarms.

At this moment, a shockwave of red light suddenly erupted.

Grace didn't see where the red light came from, but he noticed that the movements of the surrounding swarms suddenly became sluggish, and the swarm that was surging towards them began to spin around without a mind, colliding with the swarm further behind.

The familiar flame was beating in Grace's sight again!

The white ghost, who had already disappeared into the swarm, and his ghost rushed back to Grace.

On whom was the bomb on? ‘

'Me! The activation key is my iris!'

Captain Grace, try to keep up with me. ‘

Grace did not hesitate, and led the team to start a quick interspersed queue, followed closely behind the ghost, and charged towards the mother worm.

It was one of Grace's most thrilling, difficult, and hearty battles.

All kinds of bugs appeared like a military parade and constantly became an obstacle to them, but under the sweep of the light blade of the ghost, there was no enemy at all!

As the team begins to fall behind, Grace orders them to work together in pairs and snipes at the bugs in the back.

The figures beside the ghost gradually became scarce, and finally only Grace remained.

This is also because the ghost occasionally takes care of Grace a few times.

It's right here. ’

The white ghost's processed voice rang out again.

Grace couldn't imagine how this guy did it, and he was still so calm at this moment.

The Ghost Mecha unleashed its foot hammer, and after jumping, it slammed into the ground, and cracks immediately appeared on the ground mixed with insect corpses and glass-like materials.

The powerful ghost light blade swept through the swarm of insects that srang in, and took advantage of the situation to hold the light blade upside down, both hands, and thrust it into the center of the rift, and a shock wave exploded, and the vitrified ground shattered with a bang.

The Ghost Mecha fell straight down into the huge cavity below.

Dense Zerg elite combat units swooped down below, completely covering the protective shield of the Ghost Mecha!

Seeing that the energy shield of the mecha was about to be breached, the red shockwave reappeared, sweeping in all directions like a wave, and also briefly illuminated the countless space zergs inside.

The ghost mecha fell with a large number of bugs, and a fierce battle broke out again below.

Grace did not forget his mission, and he crashed headfirst into the cavity.

The bugs didn't bother with Grace at all.

All the bugs are converging towards the ghosts.

The ghost swung the blade of light out of the phantom, maneuvering at high speed in the direction of the darkness.

Charge, charge, endless charge!

The Ghost Mecha had lost its left arm and had several blades embedded in its back, and it seemed that it was about to fall at any moment.

But this mecha shows incomparably tough strength!

For a few moments, Grace had the illusion that the mecha seemed to be a living being, as if it had come to life, and that the steel body was not driven by those delicate circuits.

When Grace came back to his senses, the third red light blast erupted again, and the surrounding bugs stopped moving again.

The ghost leaped suddenly, and when it fell again, the light of the light blade shone the queen's shadow.

This monster!

This bloated and terrifying monster is trembling and dodging backwards at the moment!

It kept sending adult worms into the mouthparts of its chest, and hissed at the ghost mech.

Grace's eyes were red.

That's what he's going to blow up!

As long as you detonate the bombs you carry, the deaths of those soldiers will be worthwhile, and this decapitation operation will achieve the desired purpose!

Grace shouted and rushed forward.

But faster than Glis, it's still the ghost mecha.

The light blade slid quickly, the thruster exploded with all its might, and the ghost mecha withstood the last protective energy and drilled directly into the queen's huge abdomen!

The queen screamed, roared, and trembled!

A red light suddenly appeared on its chest and abdomen, and the demon rushed out of the female worm's neck covered in blood.

The mother worm collapsed with a bang.

The swarms scattered and fled.

Glis roared and became confused, and he realized that rushing over him had no effect at all.

Captain Grace!'

The white ghost cried out, his voice finally adding some emotion, it was thick tiredness.

Detonate it!'

Grace: Isn't that a fucking superfluous?

Isn't it all gone? It's also good to keep a sample for research.

At that time, the white ghost saw his hesitation and said something that made Grace sound ridiculous now.

This thing can be resurrected, not killed, and can also pop out of the little female worm. ’

Grace believed.

Grace immediately rushed forward and told all the personnel on the periphery to retreat in advance, but fortunately, the bugs outside were also fleeing, and the remaining combatants had time to evacuate the area affected by the explosion.

Syllable!

Grace sat on the supply crate, one large hand covering his eyes.

How did he believe this guy's nonsense!

Although the Zerg are terrifying, they are also living organisms, how can they be resurrected for no reason!

After entering the underground, Grace lost contact with the outside world. — There is a shielded area composed of special insects below.

When Grace examines his battle footage afterwards, he discovers that several videos have disappeared for no apparent reason.

Two bursts of red shockwaves in the cavity are not recorded.

The footage of the ghost burrowing into the queen's body was also not recorded.

The video of the battle has been handed over to the military, and Gris mentions that some of the material has disappeared due to the impact of the battle.

In fact, Grace carefully recalled that when they left the underground without hindrance and quickly escaped from the detonation zone with the ghost mecha, Grace was invited to sit on the mecha's shoulder and was carried by the other party.

Gris suspects that the battle record is that he was passive at that time.

"Who the hell is this guy!"

Grace burst into a few meaningless foul words.

A female team member wearing a tight-fitting combat suit with several orbs floating around her floated over on a hoverboard and handed Glis an energy drink.

"We don't know who he was before, but from today onwards, he is already a hero of the empire, a living legend."

Grace pouted slightly.

An interesting picture suddenly came to mind.

The white ghost's powerful ghost mecha, if it were against that cosmic creature Valkyrie, who would be better?

He voted for Valkyrie.

At the same time, it was far from the Feinan star.

Yang Luo collapsed in the aft compartment covered in insect blood, and was carried back to the treatment compartment near the bridge by 026.

This ghostly mecha has become a mass of scrap metal.

As Yang left the cockpit, its components were rapidly being scrapped.

Fortunately, Yang Luo was not physically damaged, he just spent too much energy, and the whole person fell into a deep level of tiredness.

"The boss only needs to sleep ten galaxies or so to get back to normal."

Ritsu explained softly, much to the relief of 026 and Hera.

Hera stared at Yang Luo for a while, and then said, "I'll deal with the data, if he has any abnormalities, please call me immediately." ”

026 hurriedly said: "Go ahead, I'll just keep watch here." ”

Hera nodded, bowed her head and walked away quickly, plunging headlong into the various instruments placed on the bridge.

Lil pouted.

She began to deal with the follow-up events and guide public opinion, so that the boss's hard battle could get the highest returns.

It's no problem if the mecha is scrapped.

The income from this live broadcast alone is enough to build ten such mechas.

The important thing is the combat data, which is of great significance for the next step in the development of a special mecha for the insect.

Moreover, Ritsu noticed that during high-intensity combat, this mech showed signs of being assimilated by the boss. Similar to the ability of the Zerg to assimilate Terran ships.

This may be the direction of the development of the next model of mecha.

"Ril!"

026 shouted in surprise:

"Look! The boss is glowing!"

In the treatment cabin, Yang Luo's skin appeared with light red lines.

Ritsu smiled:

"The boss estimates that he can improve a lot this time."

"Inject the boss with a gene stabilizer in two hours, and I'll keep an eye on the data, you don't have to worry."

"Also, don't notify Miss Hera of this anomaly, let her do the research on the bugs first, you keep watch here, and I'll deal with the follow-up of the live broadcast."

"Hmmm! Go ahead!"

026 nodded hurriedly, then stared at Yang Luo with bright eyes, and sat on the chair next to him meticulously.

In this battle, the ghost mecha captured not only the young people of the Sherman Empire.

026 actually trained for two years as a mecha pilot combat as the boss's fire support unit, but this time the restrictions were too big and she didn't have room to play.

Ten galactic hours later.

Ritsu's projection reappeared, looking at 026 who was sitting next to him and falling asleep, and couldn't help but pinch 026's face forward.

If you don't turn on the analog touch, you won't wake up 026.

Then, Lu frowned slightly, thinking about whether to wake Yang Luo up.

There was a slight problem with Emilia.

The boss values Edwang and Emilia very much, and most likely will not sit idly by.

The boss now has returned to normal body data, and the brainwave composition has also returned to normal humans, and there will be no problem waking up now.

But even if you wake up the boss now, can it help with the emergency that just happened?

It would be better to let the Feinan reach the airspace where the fief of Count Mensa is located first, which will also take two hours and go through several jumps.

The law is a little tangled.

But she soon realized a problem - her understanding of the complex human emotional system was not very comprehensive.

She can't fully define the significance and value of the siblings Edwan and Emilia to the boss.

"Boss!"

Li's voice sounded in Yang Luo's ears:

"Emilia has dealt a blow to the grandson of the Count of Mensa, and Emilia has been judicially seized by the Imperial Court of Nobles."

In the treatment cabin, Yang Luo opened his eyes, and the red light under his eyes slowly faded.
