The army of the empire went to the mine, facing Xing Kou Gang.
The two teams crossed and the artillery fire overlapped.
Xing Kou reacted and rushed back to stop the empire.
Lucas didn't go to the lion, and it's not necessary now. He just stood in the main control room of the battleship and gave orders to the projection screen and the imperial broadcast.
"Don't fight, keep the formation and rush forward! Our purpose is to occupy the mine!"
This is a very risky move, because the mine is full of holes in all directions, which are easy to attack and difficult to defend.
Although the Imperial Army's action was to prevent the star bandits from winning UNK, what Lucas should do is to pioneer the star bandits and take the best attack method, instead of occupying the unstoppable polar ice mine. .
But no matter what, Lucas gave an order, and no one would disobey.
But for any sergeant, what flows in his blood is blind obedience and worship to Lucas.
In this battle, Freeman was left behind and did not go out with Wang Qiuyang and others.
When going out, Lucas had to focus on the battlefield, worrying about Luo Ran who he couldn't take care of, so it was Lucas's habit to leave him an adjutant he trusted.
Although Luo Ran felt that it was not necessary.
"Sorry, Adjutant Freeman." Luo Ran and Freeman stood in front of the battleship's window to watch the battle outside. Luo Ran turned around and smiled, "I drag you here."
Luo Ran thought to himself, these adjutants must actually want to go out and fight with blood rather than watching in a safe battleship.
"No!" Freeman said immediately, "I feel very proud that the admiral asked me to protect you! This is a greater task than fighting!"
Luo Ran: "..."
Loran paused for a while, but asked deadly, "I take the liberty to ask, why do you think so?"
Freeman said seriously: "One, you are the admiral's partner, your safety and situation affect the admiral's war status, and thus affect the peace of the empire! Two, you are the key to the continuation of the empire's outstanding heirs! Rounding up, I protect It is the guardian of the empire!"
"… "
Luo Ran turned to look out the window, but didn't answer.
Seeing that Luo Ran didn't speak, Freeman smiled and said, "Secretary Luo, do you also like the general?"
"… "
Luo Ran was quiet for a while, and said, "Of course I like it."
But not that kind of like, he doesn't know.
And he never thought that Lucas would seriously want to develop this kind of relationship with him, which was beyond his cognizance.
He couldn't react at all.
Luo Ran smiled and changed the subject: "Is this the Extreme Ice Mine?"
"Yes!"
Looking out of the window, you can see the caves and machines below, as well as the warships and artillery fire on both sides.
"Hey, I hope the people above don't use UNK to do bad things." Freeman shook his head and said, "I also hope not to pay attention to us."
If UNK really continues to study as the eldest prince wishes, the soldiers will inevitably be injected with UNK.
Freeman said: "I'm not afraid of dying for my country, nor is I afraid of fighting with Xingkou! But I don't want to be injected with drugs, die inexplicably, lose my mind and hurt people, and become a tool that can only be used for war."
"Admiral will not allow such a thing to happen." Luo Ran said seriously: "Neither will I. Admiral's army has our own dignity. We are defenders, not zombies or tools."
Freeman grinned. "Yeah."
boom—
The battleship shook violently.
Outside, the Imperial Army successfully occupied the mine and forced Xingkou out with artillery fire.
The battleship stopped right above the entrance of the mine. Even though the number was similar to that of the Star Bandits, it was temporarily at the top with superior weapons and formations.
"It would be good if there was no UNK." Freeman said: "This thing is too crazy, can't the empire not use it?"
"Impossible." Luo Ran tapped lightly on the window frame and said, "As long as UNK exists, someone will definitely use it. The benefits are too great, it just depends on how people use it."
drip-drip-
The battleship suddenly sounded an alarm, and the original lights were all replaced by red alarm lights, which looked a little infiltrating.
"The system prompts all non-combatants to go to the base..."
"The system prompts that the main battleship is about to start the S-class guide bow list..."
"Four minutes and thirty-one seconds down..."
The monitor also projected a map of the route to the foundation on the wall.
Lucas' voice came over Freeman's radio at the same time.
"Take Luo Ran to the foundation, his mental power can't bear the loud noise."
"Yes!"
… S-class guide single
it's here
On the polar ice mine
Luo Ran's eyes widened.
How powerful is this weapon, everyone knows, why did it choose here
Is it...
"Secretary Luo, let's go!" Freeman said immediately, "I'll take you to the foundation!"
If the empire wants to launch an S-class guide bow, presumably the Xingkou will not be outdone, and they will fight back. At that time, the battlefield will be covered by loud noises, and the main battleship will also increase the air pressure in order to improve the defense capability, coupled with violent shaking, etc. Wait, if Lucas and other soldiers naturally think it's nothing, but the ordinary staff in the battleship and Luo Ran who are mentally injured have to avoid it.
"Okay." Luo Ran glanced in the direction of the main monitoring room, paused, and obediently left with Freeman to a safe place.
The closed foundation blocked the sounds and changes from the outside. Luo Ran sat down and leaned against the iron wall, staring at the only small round window in the foundation.
The window could not be opened, and because of the seal, the scenery outside could not be seen clearly, but Luo Ran still watched quietly.
It was pitch black all around, and there was only the two of them in this foundation.
"Secretary Luo..." Freeman sat opposite Luo Ran and said cautiously, "When Secretary Luo recovers, he will be able to go out and fight side by side with the Admiral. Now it's just a temporary rest."
Luo Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Do you think I'll be lost because I didn't send it to the battlefield?"
Freeman said nothing.
"How is that possible." Luo Ran said: "The general hired me not to let me help him fight. If he fights, he has you, Adjutant Lu and Adjutant Wang. My duty is to help him take care of his internal affairs and logistics."
Luo Ran smiled and said, "Each one of them performs their duties. I'm very happy that I can do my job well. If it's not my field, why should I be brave and burden the admiral."
Freeman stared blankly at Luo Ran, who smiled gracefully and confidently.
He spends most of the time in the frontier, and is Lucas's most trusted adjutant in the frontier of the empire. He has only been transferred back recently, so he does not contact Luo Ran as often as Lu Cheng and Wang Qiuyang.
He only now understands what Lu Cheng and the others mean by "golden partner" and "protecting each other".
At this moment, Luo Ran found that the scenery outside the window was covered by white smoke and firelight.
boom -
fired.
The entire battleship was shaking violently, and Xing Kou also broke the jar and used a weapon of the same power.
Xingkou's artillery fire is naturally not as powerful as the empire, but it is still terrifying.
After the white smoke gradually dissipated, Luo Ran could vaguely see the situation outside.
Luo Ran's eyes widened.
The entrance to the ice mine - collapsed.
The entire mine was covered with stones and mud, and the geological fluctuations caused by the explosion caused the mine to sink.
Lucas took Xingkou together and blew up the polar ice mine, the production site of UNK.
Freeman also lost expression management.
"Grass… "
They really didn't intend to blow up the M4 ice mine. After all, the mine was not big, but I didn't expect that accident to give Lucas... Inspiration
This is crazy too... !
The explosion affected the surrounding trees and land, and the entire ice mine was razed to the ground in an instant.
"No wonder... No wonder!" Freeman gave a high-five, "Yesterday, the Admiral told me and Pharaoh to inform Luobing that we must ensure that all the mine workers are evacuated, but after the Xingkou invasion, the mines were gone, so no What do we need to do... It turns out that the admiral had plans so early! But he didn't say it!"
Luo Ran was also surprised.
He didn't even say it.
I want to come to Lucas is also thinking, and looking for opportunities, after all, it may not be successful.
But Lucas finally did it.
For the soldiers of the empire.
Also for Luo Ran.
No one can rob and hurt a lion.
Lions will keep their territory firmly.
Luo Ran stared blankly at the small round window.
I don't know how long it took, the door of the foundation was pushed open with a "touch".
A tall and straight man stood by the door, bringing the light from outside into the dark foundation.
The figure of Lucas against the light looked even more stalwart.
Luo Ran was a little stunned.
At this moment, the scene behind Lucas turned into a purple flower field.
Luo Ran thought to himself, his hallucination reappeared.
After two days, Luo Ran could probably distinguish between hallucinations and reality, unless she was too tired.
"It's over, come out." Lucas stepped forward and grabbed Luo Ran's waist, coming to pick him up.
Freeman felt like a sauerkraut fish and couldn't help covering his mouth and crying.
Absolutely beautiful love.
Lorran followed Lucas out of the battleship and returned to the main control room.
The Xingkou was defeated again and fled, and the empire also captured many people, and at the moment is clearing the battlefield.
Since Admiral Alton killed the former Xingkou leader, the father of Hunting Fox, after Lucas took office, although Xingkou has been jumping up and down, plundering a lot from the empire, but in the frontal battle with Lucas. never won.
On the one hand, the fox hunting is no match for his father, and on the other hand, Lucas is indeed very capable.
It is also thanks to the fact that Fox Hunting can still maintain his mentality until now, and continue to spend with the empire, looking for opportunities to turn defeat into victory.
Luo Ran saw the big crater that was bare outside and formed with the mine as the center, shook her head and said, "It's crazy."
"That's it." Lucas grinned, smiling domineeringly, fearlessly.
The Buddha blocks and kills the Buddha, and the god blocks and kills the god.
The fearless man has always been a lunatic.
"I want to know what the expressions of the gangsters in the capital are like now!"
"Since there is no way to use UNK properly, then don't use it! Save my army from harm." Lucas held Luo Ran's waist and hurt his secretary.
…
After half a day.
Shi Xiuqi's trembling voice came from the conference room.
"Crazy! He's crazy! Admiral is crazy...!" Shi Xiuqi pinched the report and dared not say anything: "Admiral razed the ice mine in the East District of Fallen Ice to the ground!"
"What are you excited about?" Second Prince Zhou Mingjing raised his eyebrows and raised his chest: "It's just that UNK is gone. If the normal ice mines have fallen ice all over, don't worry."
"The key is UNK...!" Shi Xiuqi's face was distorted.
After the M4 was destroyed, he felt distressed for a long time, and now...
Shi Xiuqi people are going crazy.
"These soldiers... they will never think about the development of the empire's interests!"
Many of the other supporters of the eldest prince also showed regretful expressions.
No one expected that UNK would be blown up like this.
just this.
The previous disputes suddenly became meaningless. If a new UNK mine could not be found in the future, then the empire would not be able to use this new energy.
"Shut up!" Zhou Mingjing couldn't listen anymore, got up and "touched" the tabletop, and shouted angrily, "The soldiers are on the front line to protect you dog officials who are corpses, you have the face to talk about them!"
Shi Xiuqi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Zhou Mingjing to scold him directly, so he was immediately stunned.
Another supporter of the eldest prince got up and responded: "We naturally recognize and cherish the sacrifices of the soldiers, but the situation is different now. The second prince does not need to be morally kidnapped. Mechas and battleships are monitored, and the actions of the army have always been Under the supervision of the empire, we all know what happened to this accident. It was not necessary to do so, and the UNK ice mine could have been kept. However, Admiral Lucas issued the order to launch the guide and deliberately bombed it. Ruined the UNK mine!"
"Nonsense!" The supporters of the second prince also stood up and spoke, "According to the analysis, the admiral had every reason to make such a move to win the victory!"
So the ensuing dispute became whether Admiral Lucas deliberately blew up the mine.
The situation analysts on both sides have their own opinions.
"Enough!" The eldest prince Zhou Mingyu shook his head and said, "UNK has already been destroyed no matter what, it's useless to make noise. It's just..."
The eldest prince lowered his eyes and said: "Admiral Lucas blew up the UNK mine without any decision before the empire. This is undeniably an arrogance."
"Yes." Someone answered: "The general holds great power. If in the future, the army will only act on the general's personal emotions rather than the general interests of the empire, it will be bad! Today he can explode mines. Dong, tomorrow he can blow up the capital!"
These remarks immediately offended and angered the people in the military department.
a mess.
…
The situation in the capital did not affect Lucas, who was still out of town for the time being, and Lucas was eating with Luo Ran at the moment.
After eating, Lu Cheng sent a report to Lucas.
"Tsk." Lucas raised his eyebrows after taking a look.
As expected.
"What's wrong?" Luo Ran felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to return to work quickly.
"The round table asked me to temporarily hand over the management authority of the military department and 'rest' for half a month." Lucas rolled his eyes.
Thinking of the eldest prince, he wanted to weaken his authority.
Luo Ran frowned slightly.
"What are you afraid of, Zhou Mingyu worked so hard to get me a vacation, I'm still happy." Lucas sneered.
The eldest prince thought it was too simple.
Even if he rests for half a month, he and Luo Ran have not been in vain in the past few years.
He can't chew.
Besides, the empire has to rely on him to fight, how can it really "rest".
"I'll take good care of the public relations, and I won't let those who have the heart smear the general." Luo Ran said: "I will also pay attention to it when I return to the capital."
It means that he should return to work when he returns to the capital.
Lucas frowned slightly.
"Admiral, don't stop my work." Luo Ran said helplessly, "I'm not that squeamish."
"Okay." Lucas said: "You have to exchange conditions."
"?"
Lucas pointed to himself and said, "Kiss me and I'll put you on the job."
Luo Ran: "..."
These days, the secretary still has to sell his superiors in exchange for more workload
Who will believe it!
Luo Ran lowered her head and blushed: "Admiral, don't make trouble..."
"I'm not making trouble, you won't have a job if you don't kiss." Lucas said confidently, "I think it's fine, other bosses have to have more in-depth unspoken rules to give a job, I just want a kiss, It's fair and humane."
Lucas put his legs on the table and said with a smile, "Come here."
Luo Ran: "..."
Luo Ran took a deep breath, stabilized her heart, and tried to keep her rationality in a cold voice: "Admiral, if I don't resume work, the workload will increase, and it will be me who will be the hardest."
"The most important thing is that if I haven't gone back to check, then after the general passively handed over power, a small mistake will have very serious consequences."
Luo Ran thought to himself that his work really couldn't be delayed any longer. And... he may have been abused out of Stockholm. These days, he doesn't work or read official documents at all, and he feels uncomfortable all over, and he has a sense of emptiness like wasting time.
"If it wasn't for your last sentence, I would really think how rational and ruthless you are." Lucas raised his eyebrows and said, "I said, just kiss and change."
"… "
"Luo Ran." Lucas said with a smile: "I'm on vacation next, Zhou Mingyu deliberately gave me time to pursue you, we can spend it slowly."
"… "
Seeing Luo Ran sitting upright all the time and posing that look of alienation and professionalism, Lucas felt dry.
Little bastard.
Lucas didn't care so much, got up and grabbed Luo Ran's collar, and pressed the person directly to the table.
Luo Ran's eyes widened.
Then Lucas leaned over and kissed Lorraine.
"Well… "
Luo Ran was nailed to the table all over, and Lucas put his hand on his forehead, so that Luo Ran could only passively kiss Lucas.
Lucas's kissing skills have always been very poor, not much different from a big dog that bites.
The smell of tobacco made him dizzy, and Luo Ran suspected that Lucas did it on purpose.
But Lukas clearly thinks he's a Beta, so why would he do that? Why deliberately tease with pheromones... !
After it was finally over, Lucas looked at Luo Ran with an unfinished look, "If you kiss me softly earlier, it's just a matter of kissing the cheek. Now this is what you asked for."
"Admiral...!" Luo Ran gasped, with a rare emotion, the corners of her eyes were red, and she said with a bit of annoyance: "You are unreasonable, it is too much."
"Yes, I'm unspoken rules for you."
Lukastan was frank.
