"Loran."
Luo Ran was drowsy, and when he was about to fall asleep while lying in bed, Lucas called.
Luo Ran held her eyelids tightly, her voice hoarse and connected: "Admiral...?"
The other side was suddenly silent for a long time.
When Luo Ran was about to fall asleep, Lucas' voice came.
More hoarse than Lorraine.
"You... don't speak in that voice."
Luo Ran was a little confused, and he was really sleepy, so he said "oh".
The other side was silent again.
Luo Ran wanted to solve it quickly, then went to bed, and took the initiative to say: "Is there anything you want to explain, Admiral?"
"No."
"Then...?" Luo Ran frowned slightly.
The other side was silent again.
After a while, Lucas said again: "Luo Ran, I..."
"Um?"
"It's nothing, I just think you're pretty."
Then Lucas hung up.
Luo Ran: "..."
Luo Ran: "???"
Lucas seems to be... getting weirder lately.
Luo Ran was so sleepy that she didn't call back, so she fell asleep.
But Luo Ran fell asleep with a smile.
To be honest, Lukas suddenly praised him like this. Although it was inexplicable, Luo Ran still felt very happy.
…
After Lucas hung up the call, he stared at the blackened screen.
Then he put away the terminal and strode to the monitoring room.
After he and Shen Xiluo finished watching one, the battleship arrived at its destination, and Lucas immediately switched states.
And the adjutants behind him had guesses when they heard what Lucas said in the terminal.
They are used to it. Since the general has Secretary Luo, he will call Secretary Luo before deciding to fight.
This seems to be a ritual, and even Luo Ran doesn't know about this little habit of Lucas.
In other words, the admiral is going to fight now...
Stepping into the monitoring room, Lucas really pointed to the red dot on the projected map and said, "In ten minutes, we'll go to battle!"
Everyone in the monitoring room was a little surprised.
"Now is the best time, and the opposite side has nothing to notice. We have just arrived and we are ready to go. It is the best time for morale and mental state." Lucas tapped the map and said: "Divided into two teams, Friedman Man led the vanguard just in front, I led the team to copy from the back, keep up with the left and right flanks, cut off the two sides and the back three roads. This is just a small stronghold of Xingkou, and our operation is only a test, so we cannot let any Xingkou Escape to report, understand!"
Lucas's combat style has always been to strike first, sweeping away like a violent storm, and his momentum often makes the opponent fearful.
Adjutant Freeman stood up straight and said loudly, "Yes!"
"clear!"
During the meeting, everyone couldn't keep up with Lucas' thinking.
For example, how could Lucas quickly determine the general division of Star Bandit's military strength with the small amount of clues and information from the exploration team and satellites, and how to quickly customize the best attack route.
But they trusted him.
It doesn't matter whether you understand or not, where Lucas points to, where they fight.
Lucas controlled the system and turned the map over.
"Barryton and Zheng Lan are on the left and right, following behind my brigade. The coordinates Y8 and X13 maintain a fan shape."
"Hill, Cooper, support Pioneer from coordinates Y3, X1."
"Don't use any guides or gunpowder. Try to control the volume of this operation."
Lucas tapped the map and said, "Again, one can't be spared."
"This is the first battle of our operation." It was almost time, Lucas raised his head, his eyes were like hawks: "Win for Lao Tzu! You must win."
"Must win!"
"Must win!!"
Everyone shouted together, and the momentum was so great that the iron shell of the battleship was overturned.
…
— XXXX —
Luo Ran slept for a while, and woke up before it was completely bright.
Luo Ran went to the battleship hall after washing and tidying up a little. He could hear the sound in the bedroom, and it seemed to be very lively.
Luo Ran pushed open the door and entered, and saw a large group of people gathered together. After all, they were on an expedition, and they didn't dare to drink. They cheered and excited around the ring with healthy juices, looking a little harmonious and funny.
In the ring, Wang Qiuyang and Lu Cheng were fighting, and the cheers, screams and cheers of the people below were deafening.
Luo Ran felt that it was quite fresh, and sat down to watch it together.
Lu Cheng and Wang Qiuyang were on a par with each other in strength. The match was fierce at the moment. The two were fighting vigorously at the top, and the arena was shaken by their big moves.
The person next to him noticed Luo Ran, and then handed him the juice with a smile.
"Good morning, Secretary Luo!"
"Secretary Luo, see you soon!!!"
Many people were in close contact with Luo Ran for the first time, and their voices were shaking with excitement. A group of elders gathered around Luo Ran hurriedly greeting and handing out water and food.
"Okay." Luo Ran responded with a smile and took over the juice and bread.
Luo Ran took a bite of the bread and asked, "Do you often play together like this when you go on expeditions?"
"That's right! If the distance is long, we will all warm up and compete together. The loser will be called the winning father! This is still led by the admiral, but no one can beat the admiral. The admiral's strength is simply unbelievable. Humanity!"
"Every time Adjutant Lu and Adjutant Wang are fighting, they love to compete with each other!"
Luo Ran asked curiously, "Then who has won in the past?"
"Not necessarily. Sometimes Adjutant Wang, sometimes Adjutant Lu, they have already called Dad several times in turn anyway."
Luo Ran just found it interesting, and followed everyone to watch the two in the ring.
There were shouts and cheers in Luo Ran's ears, and the noisy head was a little confused, but in such an atmosphere, people would also be excited and relaxed, just want to join everyone and make trouble together, this is the first time Luo Ran has such an experience.
"bump!"
On the stage, Wang Qiuyang threw Lu Cheng over his shoulder and knocked him down. Then Wang Qiuyang grabbed Lu Cheng's hand and turned it back, pressing him to the ground.
"three!"
"two!"
"One!! Adjutant Wang won—"
Wang Qiuyang grinned and pointed to Lu Chengdao: "Quick! In front of everyone, call out louder!"
Lu Cheng: "..."
There was a roar from below, causing Lu Cheng to call quickly.
Lu Cheng's face was helpless, he took a deep breath, and shouted loudly, "Dad! Dad!!"
Wang Qiuyang and everyone laughed together.
"Hey, darling." Wang Qiuyang patted Lu Cheng on the shoulder and smiled under the stand, "Who else?! Come up and recognize Dad!"
Then, I saw Luo Ran standing up with a smile.
"… "
There was silence for a few seconds.
then.
"Fuck—"
"Secretary Luo?! Really!!"
"Adjutant Wang, if you dare to beat up Secretary Luo, we will record it and send it to the general!"
"Secretary Luo, don't go up! Adjutant Wang is an ape!"
"It's okay if Secretary Luo wins, but if he loses, this generation will be messed up!"
Everyone is frying again.
Luo Ran didn't care about other people's obstructions, and he didn't want to give everyone the image of being weak and in need of protection.
Luo Ran turned her head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have fought with the admiral."
As soon as these words came out, everyone became even more excited.
correct… ! It is said that Secretary Luo was taught by the admiral himself!
Secretary Luo, but the only student of Admiral Shura of the Empire.
"Secretary Luo! Beat up Adjutant Wang!"
"Beat! Beaten!"
Everyone started to cheer for Luo Ran.
Wang Qiuyang looked at the person standing in front of him, with delicate facial features, a slender body, and long silver-blue hair tied high, making it easy to move.
At this moment, Luo Ran took off Lucas' coat and hung it aside, folded his sleeves with his eyes down, and under his long eyelashes were a pair of gentle eyes.
Even when rolling up his sleeves, Luo Ran's demeanor is still graceful and unhurried.
Wang Qiuyang swallowed.
This... If he beats the admiral's wife, will he be torn apart by the admiral's hand
Will he live to see the sun tomorrow
Luo Ran smiled and said, "Adjutant Wang, you don't show mercy."
Wang Qiuyang nodded with a dry smile, regretting why he was standing here.
It's better to call Lu Cheng's father.
Who can get it.
Luo Ran saw Wang Qiuyang standing aside, and seemed to be waiting for him to make a move. She was not polite. She rushed in front of Wang Qiuyang with a teleport, and smashed a fist into Wang Qiuyang's face in the face!
bump!
Wang Qiuyang was accidentally punched in the face by Luo Ranlun, after all, it was a competition, and no one was dead, but Wang Qiuyang was still smashed so that his nose was red, and he took a few steps back.
Luo Ran's fighting style is very similar to that of Lucas, exactly the same, he likes to strike first, and then use sharp and powerful tricks to force people to retreat. At this moment, it was a habit, Luo Ran didn't give Wang Qiuyang a chance to breathe, and forced it up again, raised his hand to chop Wang Qiuyang's neck, and swept his lower waist and crossed his legs. A world of difference.
Grass… !
Wang Qiuyang's whole body was refreshed, and the cold hair also stood up. Together with the onlookers below, he recalled the days in the ring when Lucas was squeezed and dominated, and he didn't dare to underestimate the enemy or let the water go.
- There is no chance to release water.
Wang Qiuyang's eyes flashed, and then he became serious. He fought with Luo Ran, and he didn't have the concept of an admiral's wife in his mind for a while. This was just a powerful arena opponent.
"Come on Secretary Luo!!!"
"Come on, Adjutant Wang!!"
"Secretary Luo! Fuck him! Fuck him!!"
This time the scene was completely heated up, everyone stood up, and the voice was louder than the speakers.
On the stage, Luo Ran's figure was flexible and light, but the shot was visible to the naked eye with strength and sharpness, and her long hair drew countless silver-blue arcs in the air.
"Weakness! Weakness!"
"Grass!"
"Secretary Luo! Above!"
Wang Qiuyang's eyes narrowed, he found Luo Ran's flaw, and a hand immediately pressed Luo Ran's shoulder.
Seeing that the situation was about to be settled, Luo Ran smiled and grabbed the hand that Wang Qiuyang had brought up. A leg sweep made Wang Qiuyang lose his balance by surprise, and then used Wang Qiuyang's method to Lu Cheng just now - grab Wang Qiuyang and come directly. A shoulder fall!
bump!
Wang Qiuyang, a burly man of 1.9 meters, slammed onto the floor, raising a cloud of dust.
Wang Qiuyang was dumbfounded.
Luo Ran didn't press the person for three seconds like Wang Qiuyang did, but just stood aside and said with a smile: "Certify."
Luo Ran was sweating, but she felt comfortable.
Luo Ran now understands why these people, including Lucas, like to play in the ring.
"Secretary Luo is awesome!!"
"Secretary Luo is mighty—"
"Secretary Luo is amazing!! You are my father!"
"As expected of the admiral's wife!!"
Luo Ran: "..."
Wang Qiuyang got up, clasped his fists and shouted at Luo Ran in a thunderous voice: "Dad!!"
Lu Cheng also shouted at the bottom: "Dad! Luo Daddy!!"
Lu Cheng thought to himself, how did Secretary Luo have a good brain and a good fight? ! This is too outrageous!
A few people were making a fuss. After watching another round of the arena, the lights in the battleship suddenly flickered, like a power outage, but it was quickly reconnected.
The warship's alarm sounded, and the officers on the shift in the monitoring room also issued an edict for emergency assembly through the broadcast.
…
monitoring room.
"Grass." Wang Qiuyang looked at the red and green dots on the projected map and scolded: "What's going on?!"
Lu Cheng also looked serious.
The battleship is now about to arrive at the transfer station of B647, but—according to the data from the satellite, the transfer station has been completely occupied by Xingkou.
And now, not only did the transit station fall, but Xingkou also sent countless warships to hunt them down.
Come for them.
Lu Cheng also scolded Sheng Niang and said, "Xing Kou is about to catch up with us."
Luo Ran looked at the information on the screen for a moment, and analyzed: "The transfer station was occupied half an hour ago, so we can confirm two points - one, the Xing Kou wanted to catch us by surprise, and it was too late to retreat; two, their troops were strong. "
The transfer station was also stationed by imperial sergeants, and the combat effectiveness was not bad, and the transfer station had always been a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. To break through quickly, get it under control before the transit station sends out a distress signal, at least...
Luo Ran frowned and said, "We were counter-designed by Xing Kou."
"Yes." Wang Qiuyang slammed his fist into the wall and said viciously: "Admiral and they played lonely, we finish the ball here."
What Lucas and Luo Ran thought was to use Luo Ran's team as a cover, pretending that the destination of the empire's expedition was B647, in fact, Lucas and the elite were ambushing on the southeast plank road transporting UNK, ready to catch them all.
But maybe it's because Xingkou broke the maid, so he's more cautious, maybe it's the fox hunter...
The fox hunter's mind and five senses seem to be more sensitive than ordinary people. Maybe he thought of something, and he gave up hijacking UNK directly and came to B647 instead.
The purpose, I think, is to arrest Luo Ran, Lu Cheng, Wang Qiuyang and others, mainly Luo Ran, and then use him as a threat.
This way he can also get UNK.
Luo Ran's back was a little cold.
With the lessons learned, they have done a good job of keeping secrets in this operation, and it should be impossible for the high-level inside the empire to know.
So... That fox hunter is really a bit scary, he can think of what Lucas thinks, and then break the game.
Wang Qiuyang said irritably: "Can't the communicator be repaired?"
The soldier sitting in front of the machine shook his head.
After the transfer station fell, the signal tower was destroyed by Xingkou, just to prevent Luoran and the others from contacting Lucas.
Today, the warship is still operational, and it also uses its own generator.
Everyone else in the monitoring room looked at Luo Ran, Lu Cheng and Wang Qiuyang.
Lu Cheng and Wang Qiuyang looked at each other, and their comrades for many years saw each other's thoughts in each other's eyes.
I saw Lu Cheng took out a dice and tossed it with Wang Qiuyang.
"I'm relatively young." Wang Qiuyang grinned and said, "Then it's decided. Lu Cheng took the elite team and escorted Secretary Luo to the southeast plank road to join the admiral. I'll take someone to stay for a while. Those bastards!"
Luo Ran was taken aback.
Lu Cheng clenched his fists and clenched his teeth tightly. As the one who could leave safely, he was irritable.
But now is not the time for ink blots, he and Wang Qiuyang each perform their duties.
Lu Cheng said to Wang Qiuyang loudly: "Don't worry! I will take Secretary Luo to the destination safely! If there is any problem on the way, I will not have a life!"
The rest have no opinion.
Luo Ran took a deep breath and said, "I don't agree."
"Secretary Luo, we can't make ink and refusal now!" Lu Cheng said: "We are facing the star bandits who are unreserved and all come out to let loose. It is impossible for our team to compete with them. Then everyone is here. Meaning, it doesn't make sense for Secretary Luo to stay!"
Wang Qiuyang also patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I and the rest of the brothers will kill you, you won't lose if you kill one, and you will earn blood if you kill two! There's nothing to worry about. If Secretary Luo doesn't believe it, you can go and ask anyone, whoever you want. , we are all willing!"
Before departure, Wang Qiuyang and Lu Cheng had promised Lucas, and they had sworn that they would guarantee Luo Ran's safety no matter what.
Luo Ran said solemnly: "Although this kind of sacrifice is bloody, it is a hero and a man. But I am the owner of this battleship now, and my obligation is to try my best to keep everyone alive, not to make you sacrifice to protect me. It doesn't make sense."
"Secretary Luo..." Lu Cheng frowned slightly.
Luo Ran was rarely tough and interrupted: "I'm not willful and I don't understand the current situation, but... I choose to believe in the admiral."
The military emblem on Luo Ran's coat shone brightly.
Luo Ran said: "Let's take a gamble, retreat together, and go to the southeast UNK plank road together. If we are caught up by that time, we will kill them together. If we are lucky... we can catch up."
Lu Cheng frowned and said, "If you can't catch up, even if you let the battleship retreat at full speed, you will be caught up on the road in a long time."
"Half a day." Luo Ran said, "There is still half a day."
Even if he really can't catch up, he is there, the goal is clear, and he can fight for the opportunity to negotiate, so that the whole army will not be wiped out.
but…
Luo Ran smiled and said, "I can catch up, I believe the Admiral."
Luo Ran chose to trust Lucas, while Wang Qiuyang and Lu Cheng...
This time, they also chose to believe and obey Luo Ran's judgment.
The battleship retreated at full speed, and Xing Kou also caught up.
…
"There are still ten hours before being caught up by the target..." The mechanical female voice in the monitoring room broadcast the distance between them and Xingkou without emotion.
"Six hours before being overtaken by the target..."
Everyone got together for dinner and recharged their energy to prepare for the next change.
"Four hours before being overtaken by the target..."
…
"Two hours..."
Wang Qiuyang and Lu Cheng went to reorganize the army, ready to kill.
"One hour… "
Luo Ran stared at the screen.
"Half an hour..."
Wang Qiuyang had already brought people outside, and Xing Kou's battleship could already be seen with the naked eye.
Luo Ran did not look at the map screen anymore, but stood by the window of the battleship, quietly looking at the starry sky outside.
"… what is that?"
Lu Cheng, who was standing beside Luo Ran, widened his eyes.
Behind them is the Xingkou battleship, and the red light of the guide bow is facing them.
But in front of them, there are countless lights.
Luo Ran smiled and said, "It's the empire's battleship."
caught up.
Lu Cheng was stunned.
Lucas and the others... Even though they didn't receive a signal for help, they still came!
Luo Ran and the others couldn't catch up, but...
Lucas and the others can come and join them! !
Luo Ran looked at the densely packed imperial battleships ahead with a smile in her eyes.
He trusted his general.
He also believed that his general must be more powerful than the fox hunter. The fox hunter can turn against the general, and Lucas can turn against the general again.
…
Ten hours ago, at 5.08 in the morning.
Southeast plank road.
A grim-faced man was kneeling on the deck of the imperial battleship.
"bump!"
Lucas shot the man, the leader of Xingkou, on the head, and blood spurted out.
ended.
Lucas stood on the deck of the battleship, looking at the situation below, expressionless.
"Captured four hundred and three star bandits! Among them, three hundred and forty-three were men and fifty-eight were women." Freeman gave a military salute and said proudly, "No one escaped!"
"Um."
Lucas said: "Capture it alive and bring it back to the empire."
These people are often sent to work in growing areas, but at least they are guaranteed food, drink and shelter.
"Yes!"
Lucas tapped lightly on the railing with his fingers, thoughtfully.
After a moment, he turned his head and said, "Quickly organize! Let's turn around and go to B67!"
"Ah...?" Barryton and Zheng Lan, who were standing behind him, looked puzzled.
They haven't reached the official stronghold of the Xingkou, and they haven't successfully destroyed it yet. This is just a vanguard.
Barryton asked: "Now that UNK has set off from Luobing and is ready to transport it, aren't we going to intercept Xingkou?"
"Intercept the fart." Lucas pointed his head and said, "Look at the formation of this vanguard, don't you understand?"
There is no stronghold here at all.
"Walk!"
Lucas strode back to the battleship.
"Admiral, are we...?"
Lucas turned his head, smiled and said, "Go pick up my secretary."
…
ten hours later.
Luo Ran saw the light, and also saw Lucas, who was riding in the lead.
Lucas drove his large mecha and led the group and battleship forward.
Then, the two teams blended together.
The battleship on Loran's side was integrated into Lucas' army, and the two became one.
At the moment when the two teams crossed, everyone saw that the battleship that Luo Ran was in drove past Lucas' mecha, meeting his vision for a moment.
At that moment, Luo Ran's silver-blue long hair and Lucas' mecha-silver body and blue shrapnel Lion 01 set off each other.
It's the exact same color.
"Boom—"
"boom-"
The Empire's battleships fired all the guide bows at the chasing Xingkou and blasted them towards them.
The starry sky was illuminated by firelight.
