Diamond Plaza of the Sky.
Seeing Nie Huaiting hurriedly leaving the concierge desk, followed by Klimo and Hodgkins who also left one after another, Lu Fenghan pulled Xia Zhiyang and the other two who were still excited out of the crowd and stood under a tree.
Xia Zhiyang was a little surprised: "What's wrong?"
Lu Fenghan looked at the light screen above the square.
The Secretary General was the only one left at the protocol desk. Perhaps because the three generals of the military had all left, it did not arouse anyone's suspicion.
Retracting his gaze, Lu Fenghan said seriously: "If I say that Leto will be in trouble soon and the rebels have already attacked nearby, do you believe it?"
Xia Zhiyang laughed and said, "Hahaha, how is that possible? Today is the founding day, the founding day of the alliance, how can the rebels—"
The smile on his face gradually disappeared. He looked at Qi Yan first, then back at Lu Fenghan, and gradually stuttered, "Really? Are you serious? Are you kidding?"
Lu Fenghan was very frank: "Eighty percent sure."
He underestimated the number. If you really calculate it, the probability is 99%, and the remaining 5% is just luck.
Ye Pei and Mondrian looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and spoke first: "I believe it!"
Xia Zhiyang raised his hand: "I... I believe it too!"
Although it sounds like a fairy tale, somehow, such bizarre words sounded particularly convincing when spoken by Lu Fenghan.
Obviously he was just Qi Yan's bodyguard.
Mondrian asked: “What now?”
Lu Fenghan didn't answer, but only asked: "Time is running out, what do you think?"
Ye Pei made a quick decision: "I'll go home! If something really happens, my parents are at home!" She looked at Mondrian, "Do you want to come with me?"
She knew that Mondrian's parents had been killed by rebels and that he had no other relatives in Leto.
Mondrian nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll go with you!"
Xia Zhiyang quickly said, "I'm going home too!"
Lu Fenghan nodded: "You all go home, and when you return, find a place to hide to avoid the explosion."
Ye Pei quickly asked: "What about you guys?"
Lu Fenghan looked at Qi Yan.
Qi Yan did not hesitate: "I'll go with him."
After a few simple goodbyes, they ran out against the flow of people.
Lu Fenghan stared at Qi Yan and asked, "Are you really coming with me?"
Qi Yan nodded seriously: "Yes, it is written in the contract that you protect me no matter when and where. Now, the contract period has not expired yet."
Lu Fenghan looked at the man for several seconds and laughed softly: "Okay, I'll protect you."
Outside the headquarters.
Nie Huaiting, wearing a black military uniform, strode into the command room. His aura was as solemn and murderous as winter, and the four silver stars on his shoulders reflected the sharp texture of metal.
Creamer and Hodgkins walked two steps behind him, each with a sullen look on their face.
Particularly abruptly, Nie Huaiting stopped, turned around and drew his gun, pointing the muzzle directly at Krimo's forehead!
Klimo's pupils widened and his voice dropped: "Nie Huaiting, what do you want to do?"
The murderous intent suddenly appeared.
Hodgkin was standing nearby, shocked by the scene. He didn't know how to persuade them, so he had to act as a peacemaker as usual: "The situation is urgent now, the overall situation is more important!"
Nie Huaiting's eyes were dark, and there were wrinkles on the hand holding the gun, but it was very steady. The shadow fell on the ground, and the edges appeared sharp.
"The question should be asked to you, Woodrow Creamer, what do you want to do?"
Klimo sneered: "Why, do you think it was my order to block the communication port?"
Nie Huaiting said nothing.
After nearly ten seconds of silence, he put down his gun and said, "If this order comes from your mouth, I will shoot you."
The command room was filled with solemnity.
At the same time, Lu Fenghan and Qi Yan had already boarded the hovercraft and left the Sky Diamond Plaza at an extremely fast speed.
The personal terminal was always on, and Vincent kept transmitting various information.
"General Nie just pulled out his gun at Krimo! But he put it down in the end! Did General Nie decide that Krimo was not the one who blocked the communication port? Or was he worried that the peace faction would revolt in an emergency, so he temporarily spared Krimo's life to stabilize all parties?"
Lu Fenghan's eyes moved slightly: "It's possible."
"The whole department is in an emergency meeting now. The door is tightly shut. We don't know what's going on inside! We've found out that the communication port was blocked from the inside," Vincent gritted his teeth and forced himself back to a calm working state. "The blocking procedure has been destroyed and the restart has been successful. According to the latest news, 'Fontaine One' was Leto's vanguard. All the fortresses were killed. Last but not least, they sent hundreds of 'enemy attack' messages back to Leto!"
Vincent's voice choked.
Lu Fenghan paused for a moment.
When Qi Yan heard the news, he couldn't help but look up at the sky.
He still remembered that when he left Fontaine 1 and returned to the ground, he had seen the fortress floating in space from afar. He still remembered clearly every person in it, as long as he had seen it.
All the fortress... killed
"The rebels have approached the perimeter of the Leto defense system, carrying a large number of unknown weapons. The small destroyer has been preheated and is the first to meet the enemy!"
The information was too confusing. Even Vincent, who had been on the front lines and was accustomed to the urgency of war, couldn't tell what was important and what was not.
Lu Fenghan held the joystick in his hand and looked forward. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. He always felt as if some details had been overlooked...
A chill ran down his back. Lu Fenghan gripped the joystick tightly and asked Vincent, "The control room of the capital planet's defense system!"
Vincent didn't react for a moment: "What?"
"Whose people are in the control room now?"
Vincent was stumped by the question. His breathing became heavier. After more than ten seconds, he gave the answer: "Crimo! It was originally in General Nie's hands for three months, no, four months, I'm not sure. Crimo asked General Nie to hand over the control of the capital planet's defense system. General Nie refused. In the end, the two sides compromised and the control was handed over to Hodgkin! A few days ago, after General Nie officially stepped down as the commander-in-chief of the alliance, Crimo immediately took the control away from Hodgkin!"
The sound of the last word was so loud that Vincent's heart beat so fast that he shouted, "Command—"
Lu Fenghan's profile was frozen into a cold line, his eyes were like blades.
Vincent's voice trembled uncontrollably: "Commander, is it possible-"
At this moment, a loud explosion came from an unknown direction, and the residual force even shook the glass of the hover car!
The electronic voices on Vincent's side all rang out: "Commander, it's a dwarf planet-class space missile!"
Lu Fenghan pressed the accelerator hard.
He could accurately distinguish the sound of the explosion just by relying on his hearing.
A space missile landed on Leto. What does this mean
It means that Leto's defense system has been shut down, shut down from the inside!
Leto, the capital of the Alliance, was now exposed to the rebels' artillery without any protection.
If it wasn't happening right now in front of everyone, who would dare to imagine it
Vincent couldn't believe it: "Unless someone with the authority of a four-star admiral has the authority, no one can shut down the defense system without authorization!" After that, he murmured, "Did Kerimo...really betray the alliance?"
The more critical the situation, the calmer Lu Fenghan's voice became: "I'm still 70 seconds away from the ground control room of the Capital Star Defense System. I'll take control first. Contact me if you need anything."
Vincent: “Yes!”
The scenery outside the window turned into invisible lines. The electronic sound inside the car was reminding Lu Fenghan that he was speeding, but Lu Fenghan seemed not to hear it.
At this time, the personal terminal displays a prompt—the encrypted channel has received a message.
Some guess came to his mind, and Lu Fenghan's fingertips trembled. After two seconds, he opened it.
Line after line of words came into my eyes, and each word seemed to be crying blood.
"Take up your weapons and protect the stars behind you."
"Commander, I have fulfilled my mission."
"Fontaine One, all the fortresses, died for it, hope the living take care."
Lu Fenghan clenched his five fingers into a fist and smashed it hard on the control panel of the hovercraft, his eyes full of bloodshot.
—The whole fortress died!
Qi Yan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, stretched out his hand and placed it on Lu Fenghan's fist.
After a long time, Lu Fenghan remained silent and shook his hand with his backhand.
Qi Yan projected the virtual screen of his personal terminal into the air and told Lu Fenghan: "I entered the system. In the past six months, the ground control room has carried out personnel transfers one after another. The scale of transfers reached the highest level in the past month. A total of 23 people were transferred, and 14 of them had problems. Today, 11 of them, plus 53 staff members who have been employed for more than five years, are on duty at the same time."
Lu Fenghan suppressed all his emotions and asked, "Who approved the transfer?"
"The person in charge of the control room is Lieutenant Colonel Gavriel." Qi Yan added, "I have obtained the authority to directly enter the ground control room."
Ground control room of the Capital Star Defense System.
Gavriel was trying to comfort his panicked subordinates: "From the information sent back, the rebels have already formed up outside the capital planet, but the current situation is unclear. We must remain calm until we receive the order to attack! Before receiving the order, no one is allowed to act on their own!"
He also emphasized: "You must believe that the big network of our defense system will surely protect Leto like a rock!"
The air in the control room was almost stagnant, and everyone was facing the console.
Only a few people knew that the control room's external communication channels had been controlled by Gabriel, and at this time, all the "real-time messages" received by the control room were false.
Of course, they will not wait for the so-called orders from superiors.
In fact, the defense system of the capital planet was not turned on at all. As early as three minutes ago, it had been shut down by Gabriel using the authority of a four-star admiral!
A long-haired female soldier asked why the superiors had not given orders yet. Gabriel replied, "The situation between us and the rebels is different now. It is right for the superiors to make careful decisions. Everyone should be patient."
At this moment, the metal door behind Gavriel suddenly slid open to both sides. He turned back subconsciously and frowned: "Who are you?"
Entering the control room without setting off an alarm means the person has permission to enter.
But both of them looked very unfamiliar.
Lu Fenghan took out a folding pistol.
It was the same sword that Qi Yan took out from the elevator wall on the day ISCO was attacked. He didn't return it after using it, but he didn't expect that it would really come in handy.
The muzzle of the gun was aimed at Gavriel's forehead.
Gavriel took a half step back and shouted, "Who are you?" He then raised his voice, "This must be a rebel! Someone come quickly—"
Lu Fenghan was filled with terrifying murderous aura and pulled the trigger directly. A gunshot rang out, interrupting Gabriel's words.
"Gavriel colluded with the rebels and put the Alliance's capital planet in danger. Under special circumstances, he was executed on the spot."
As Lu Fenghan spoke, he compared the people in the control room with the photos provided to him by Qi Yan, and found the eleven people on the list.
Afterwards, every gunshot took a life.
"Feng Ye, the same crime as above."
"I, Qi, am guilty of the same crime as above."
"Elliot, guilty as above."
…
Eleven gunshots were heard in succession.
It takes less than a minute.
Lu Fenghan was like the god of death reaping lives, and everyone heard the sound of the scythe dragging on the ground.
The control room went from being noisy at the beginning to dead silence.
Lu Fenghan didn't look like someone who had just killed someone. He even lowered the burning muzzle of his gun lazily and glanced at him calmly: "The execution is complete. Next, I hope you will cooperate."
His actions and words just now were also a warning to the few fish that slipped through the net.
After extreme silence, someone screamed.
The soldiers here are all civilians and have never been to the battlefield, so it is almost the first time for most of them to see blood.
Soon, a female soldier with long hair stepped out and calmly asked, "Why should we trust you?"
The next second, Qi Yan, who had been looking down and inputting a series of commands, spoke up: "The defense system of the capital planet has been reopened. In the past three seconds, a total of 31 White Dwarf-class space missiles have been intercepted."
The person asking the question was shocked: "What did you say?"
Then, someone else responded: "It's just as he said, the defense system is turned on, it was turned off just now!"
"What he said is true! We were just tricked by Gavriel!"
All the remaining people no longer cared about the series of gunshots and rushed to the operating table.
Lu Fenghan continued Qi Yan's words: "Before that, the defense system was shut down by Gavriel, and several white dwarf-class space missiles of the rebels had already landed on the capital planet."
He looked around at everyone and said, "From now on, Leto's safety will be in your hands!"
After confirming the situation, the female soldier who initially questioned Lu Fenghan stepped on her heels and saluted on behalf of the rest of the group: "I will not fail in my mission!"
Lu Fenghan returned a military salute.
Another person spoke up hastily: "No, Gavriel is dead. We don't have enough authority. We can only raise the defense level to level A at best!"
Lu Fenghan did not hesitate and strode to the person who was speaking. On the permission verification interface, he entered a string of numbers, verified his fingerprint, and then entered the triple key.
An electronic voice sounded: "Verification passed, defense level confirmed: S-level."
Everyone present knew that only those at the alliance general level were eligible to upgrade their defense levels.
But since Lu Fenghan did not reveal his identity, no one took the initiative to ask.
Permissions enabled.
The four walls of the control room lit up one after another, revealing a complete star map. In the center of the control room, a clear sphere emerged—it was Leto.
I saw that the defense network surrounding Leto was already in place, and a thin film-like layer of light covered every piece of land.
Before Lu Fenghan left, he turned to the female soldier who had questioned him and asked, "Can the Alliance trust you?"
The female soldier nodded, her eyes firm: "I am a graduate of the First Military Academy. The motto of the First Military Academy is to move forward for the Alliance!"
Lu Fenghan's lips curved up, and he handed the folding pistol in his hand to the other party, "The defense network is now fully opened, and it cannot be closed unless you are a four-star general. This gun is for you. If anyone tries to put the alliance in danger again, kill them without mercy."
The female soldier solemnly took the gun.
After leaving the control room, the two got in the car again, and Qi Yan asked, "Where are we going now?"
"Let's go to the transmission tower first."
These three words immediately reminded Qi Yan of the first day he came to Leto. On Xia Zhiyang's bright red limited edition hovercraft, the other party had pointed out to him the military's launch tower with the long sword and silver shield emblem printed on it.
Xia Zhiyang said at the time that although he had lived in Leto for more than ten years, he still didn't know what that thing was used to launch.
The car hadn't driven far when a big hole was blown out in the road ahead, breaking it. Lu Fenghan turned and slowed down without hesitation, and drove straight out of the lane.
The electronic sound in the car reminded people that the route was wrong and warned them that they were speeding, but no one in the car cared to pay attention.
The view outside the window changed to a street scene. The personal terminal started ringing. As soon as Vincent answered it, he was bombarded with messages:
“The Space Force and the Rebels have already started fighting, but two military starports were destroyed, and the speed at which starships leave the port has slowed down!
Commander, you guessed it right. General Nie requested to transfer troops from other places in the central area to guard Leto. However, the actual number of troops transferred was less than 60% of what General Nie requested!
What's even more annoying is that General Nie requested to upgrade the equipment of the local garrison in Leto, but the person who handled it was a peace advocate and refused to distribute it. Now 70% of the weapons are still piled up in the warehouse, and the local garrison is using old models from a few years ago! How can we fight like this? Hand-to-hand combat?"
Vincent said without taking a breath: "The most terrifying thing now is that we know how many starships are floating in space. We can count them with radar detection, but we don't know how many people the rebels sent to infiltrate Leto before this."
He paused for a second, "Especially with a four-star admiral from the alliance providing protection."
After saying this, he still felt like he was dreaming.
Even dreams can't be so absurd!
He still couldn't figure out why Krimo betrayed the alliance and opened the door to let in the rebels!
Lu Fenghan mentioned: "There are also interstellar pirates. There is no way they would not come to share a piece of Leto's feast."
Vincent's mind raced: "Those pirates seemed to be in hibernation some time ago. They made very little noise. Could it be that they have already—"
"Either they infiltrated Leto, or they set fire to the main planets of a certain galaxy." Lu Fenghan's jawline tightened, and he told Vincent, "In order to upgrade the protection level of the capital planet's defense system to S-level, I used my authority key."
Vincent was surprised: "Commander, your authority has not been revoked? You have been dead for so long!"
Lu Fenghan actually had the same question.
The expeditionary force has never announced his death, but in fact most people have already assumed that he is dead.
The fact that he still had authority could only mean that Nie Huaiting, out of a one in ten million chance, believed he was still alive, or that he had kept his identity for remembrance.
But no matter what the reason was, it gave him convenience in an emergency.
After cutting off the communication, the hovercraft continued to move towards the transmission tower.
There were no civilians on the streets, and everywhere was covered with holes and charred areas caused by explosions. The Alliance had been peaceful for too many years, and now that war had broken out, countless people were in a state of panic.
Lu Fenghan felt a sense of depression in his heart.
For so many years, the expeditionary force has stood firmly on the front line of the Southern Cross Region, ready to fight at any time, made countless sacrifices, and never retreated a single step, all in order to keep the war out.
However, things are unpredictable. Step by step, the entire alliance was finally dragged into the quagmire of war.
Lu Fenghan opened his mouth and explained to Qi Yan: "Leto is in chaos now, it's a good time to fish in troubled waters. If I were a rebel, I would take advantage of the chaos to find what I have always wanted."
Qi Yan responded very quickly: "The source architecture of the military starship central control system?"
"Yes, if the space pirates had reached Leto ahead of time, they might have already taken action now."
Prayer: "Transmitter Tower—"
"The launch tower is just a cover," Lu Fenghan had heard Nie Huaiting talk about it a long time ago. "There is a safe under the launch tower. The source structure of the central control system is in Leto. General Nie does not trust Klimo, so he is likely to put the central control system in there. No one can touch it."
After the hover car traveled a long way on the street, Lu Fenghan was about to drive the car back to the lane. When he was about to turn, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure. He slammed on the brakes, opened the door, and said to the person who was standing there without reacting, "Get in the car."
After Chagall got on the bus, he realized belatedly: "Why are you here? Didn't the civilians take refuge there?"
Lu Fenghan didn't answer, but only asked: "Why don't you seek refuge here?"
Chagall couldn't help but answer honestly, "I went to the Sky Diamond Plaza to attend the celebration, and then the security robots began to quickly evacuate everyone. I didn't go to the shelter. This year is my senior year, and I will join the army as soon as I graduate. I thought I would go back to school to see if I could help, but I didn't expect that the road was blocked and I couldn't go back. Now Leto... It's too chaotic."
He listened to the continuous alarm outside, and Shang felt it was unreal: "How come the rebels... suddenly attacked? They suddenly appeared like a ghost. And, and, today is the day the alliance was established."
Yes, today is also the founding day of the alliance.
Unfortunately, no one could answer this question for him.
Chagall quickly gathered his thoughts and asked Qi Yan, "Where are you going now?"
At this time, Lu Fenghan's personal terminal rang again. After his voice command was connected, a virtual light screen appeared in the air.
The person in the picture is the one who was standing at the concierge desk of Sky Diamond Plaza not long ago.
Chagall's mouth opened wide, his eyes widened, and he thought he was dazzled. He reflexively saluted the Alliance: "General Nie!"
Nie Huaiting returned the salute and turned his gaze to Lu Fenghan: "Not dead?"
Lu Fenghan replied simply: "Not dead."
After using his authority to activate the S-level defense, he knew that Nie Huaiting would definitely find him.
Nie Huaiting: "Where are you now?"
"On the way to the tower."
"Well," Nie Huaiting ordered in a deep voice, "The source architecture is inside. Remember, after getting the source architecture, immediately set off back to the front line. If you can't take the stuff away, you destroy it yourself!"
Lu Fenghan raised his eyes and met Nie Huaiting's eyes, which were not cloudy at all: "Leto can't be saved?"
When this question was asked, Chagall, who was confused, was shocked.
Nie Huaiting gave a positive answer: "It is probably impossible to save it. I am afraid of being attacked from both sides, so I insist on leaving the expeditionary force at the front line. If all the troops stationed in the Central Corps are in place, they can still resist the rebels' attack today."
Unfortunately, nothing went as planned.
Not only was only half of the troops actually deployed, but the weapons could not keep up.
Lu Fenghan said nothing more: "You are only seventy years old, you still have decades to live, don't die."
Nie Huaiting didn't have time to say more to him: "Got it."
After saying that, he disconnected the call.
Chagall blinked slowly. "Just now... was it really General Nie? Leto really couldn't hold on? You, you, you are—"
Lu Fenghan didn't answer any of the questions, but asked him instead: "You are in the First Military Academy, and your grades are very good?"
Chagall's attention was instantly drawn away, and he nodded: "Not bad."
"What about the actual combat simulation?"
Chagall said proudly: "The highest score in this grade!"
"Okay." Lu Fenghan turned to Qi Yan, "Can you see the situation around the launch tower?"
Qi Yan went into Leto's monitoring system and quickly found the monitoring point near the transmission tower, projecting the view into the air.
Lu Fenghan converted the hover car into a semi-automatic driving mode and asked Chagall to watch it together.
Near the launch tower, five armored vehicles were parked, and a group of people were exchanging fire with the regular garrison of the launch tower. The enemy was obviously fierce, and the regular garrison was more showy, so they were suppressed and beaten.
Chagall was nervous: "Those garrisons must have failed the fighting class in school! Hit him on the temple with your left fist! Hit him!"
Lu Fenghan: "Guarding the launch tower is a sinecure with no benefits. The fact that these people have been able to hold on for so long is considered to be of good quality."
Qi Yan said: "I found something good."
Lu Fenghan raised his eyes: "What?"
"There is a small hidden turret near the launch tower. It should be a backup. But I checked the ammunition supply and there are only five rounds." Qi Yan asked Lu Fenghan, "Where should I aim?"
Lu Fenghan didn't hesitate: "Blow up their armored vehicles."
Qi Yan's fingers quickly inputted commands, and on the surveillance screen, he saw three bombs falling between five armored vehicles. To prevent any accidents, the fourth and fifth bombs arrived soon after and directly blew the armored vehicles into pieces.
Several enemies were caught off guard by an unknown attack and gathered together to defend the surroundings, barely giving the garrison at the launch tower a little breathing time.
Lu Fenghan spoke again: "When we get there, I will drive my car directly into them. Chagall, you take advantage of the chaos and shoot all those people with your gun."
"Yes!" Chagall answered, then realized, "But I don't have a gun!"
"All the guns on the ground are your guns. It depends on whether you pick them up or not. Do you understand?"
"I understand! Diligence and thrift are virtues!"
Chagall stared at the surveillance footage and noted the locations of the guns scattered on the ground.
All the people lying on the ground were seriously injured or dead, and he began to pray that he could pick up a gun with more ammunition.
Lu Fenghan drove the black hover car and plunged into the battle circle like a knife. He braked suddenly, and Chagall opened the door while leaning forward due to inertia. He climbed up the car frame with his long arms and grabbed two guns at the same time. He stood up and closed the door in one go.
"Don't worry, just press the trigger. This car is made of liquid composite metal. The door can be removed to serve as a shield."
After hearing what Lu Fenghan said, Xia Jiaer exclaimed: "Qi Yan, you are too extravagant! Really too extravagant! I can't even afford one square centimeter of liquid composite metal!"
At this moment, Lu Fenghan pulled the joystick, and the whole car body swung forward, freezing the angle of view. Chagall kept his hands very steady, focused on aiming, pressed the trigger, and with a "bang", he shot someone in the head!
The people on both sides in the battle circle immediately understood the identity of the newcomer, and soon, the black hovercraft was hit by several consecutive gunshots.
The muffled sound echoed in the car.
Chagall exclaimed as he fired his gun: "It's a bull, or a liquid composite metal bull!"
He only opened the window a crack, just enough for the muzzle of the gun to stick out. And he found that Lu Fenghan had countless pairs of eyes, and every angle created by the swing of the car body was the perfect angle for him to shoot.
Chagall felt a sense of satisfaction as if he was being protected by a big boss!
They were like hiding in a mobile bunker, easily taking the lives of their enemies. Chagall did not put down his gun until all the enemies were killed.
But Lu Fenghan was in no hurry to get off the car.
Qi Yan said, "There is no problem with garrisoning the launch tower."
The car door was then opened.
Although Lu Fenghan and his companions had just helped to defeat the enemy, the garrison did not rush forward and remained vigilant.
Lu Fenghan did not come closer, but just said: "I am here to get something under the order of my superiors."
After saying that, he immediately walked towards the transmission tower.
Several garrison soldiers were covered in wounds and no longer had the strength to fight. They looked at each other, neither stopping the fight nor asking further questions.
Firstly, nowadays, the launch system is fully automatic, and they are guarding here just to guard against special situations. Therefore, if the visitors’ target is the launch system, their trip will be in vain.
Secondly, they were just low-level soldiers and had no idea what they could take. If it was indeed an order from their superiors, then it was a military secret that they had no right to know.
Lu Fenghan walked very quickly, saying as he walked: "There are only about ten minutes left before the defense network of the capital planet is shut down and restarted. The armored vehicle we just destroyed belonged to the team that came to test first. The rebels probably don't know the specific storage location of the source structure, so they will send people to multiple suspected locations. Now that we have wiped out a team of people, there must be reinforcements coming. We have to hurry and take the things and leave."
After walking around to the back of the transmission tower, Lu Fenghan attached his personal terminal to the tower. Three seconds later, a string of fluorescent blue characters appeared on the metal surface. After Lu Fenghan checked the permissions, a door that only allowed one person to enter and exit appeared in front of the three people.
Lu Fenghan let Xia Jiaer go in first, Qi Yan was in the middle, and he was the rear guard.
After they stood still, the door closed in an instant, and the three of them descended rapidly along the metal plate under their feet. Chagall then discovered that this was actually an elevator.
In just ten seconds, the elevator stopped. Lu Fenghan strode forward, opened the safe with the key sent by Nie Huaiting, took out a suitcase from it, and turned around to return the same way.
Sitting back in the hovercraft, Lu Fenghan pulled the joystick and the car immediately sounded a warning tone of "You are speeding". Lu Fenghan treated it as white noise and drove all the way to Leto's starport.
Chagall held the gun and opened his mouth, wanting to ask Lu Fenghan if he was that person in our school's history, but for some reason, he couldn't find the answer.
After much thought, he finally asked, "Shouldn't we go and help?"
Lu Fenghan's answer was almost cold: "How can I help?"
Chagall was stumped.
Lu Fenghan said bluntly: "Today's situation was destined as early as the first major defeat of the expeditionary army on the front line. It was not caused by the power of one person, nor can it be changed by one person. Instead, it is a chain of events, one step after another, that has gradually led to today. Everyone is innocent, and everyone is a pusher."
Chagall was confused.
The education he received at the First Military Academy taught him to fight whenever he encountered a battle, but now he found that he couldn't even fight in the face of the current chaotic situation.
"Then... if we can't hold it, will Leto just give it up? What will the alliance do?"
"What can we use to defend it?" Lu Fenghan leaned his elbows on the window sill, and said in a short voice, "So what if Leto is gone? Wherever the people of the alliance are, my alliance will be there. If they are robbed today, at worst we can get it back tomorrow."
At this time, Vincent called again.
Lu Fenghan's heart sank, and he had a bad feeling.
He answered: "Go ahead."
Vincent lost all his calmness and restraint, his voice was as taut as a string about to break: "Command, the latest news! General Nie Huaiting is seriously injured. Before entering the treatment cabin, inform the entire army and demand that the former four-star general Hodgkin be arrested immediately at all costs!"
Lu Fenghan spoke word by word: "Hodgkin."
The representative of the neutral faction who never participated in the disputes between the pro-war and pro-peace factions was regarded as a peacemaker, a soft persimmon, and a dull nut within the military.
Due to his extremely weak sense of presence, Lu Fenghan might not be able to remember Hodgkin's appearance if he had not just seen him in the Sky Diamond Plaza.
Vincent was so angry that he choked up. "The charge is treason. He was the commander who opened the door of Leto and the entire alliance to the rebels!"
