The fact that the Redrick Fortress was destroyed three years ago because of the spies of the infected people planted the seeds of distrust in Corson in their hearts. This incident has pushed him to the forefront again.
In this world, it is very difficult to be a hero. He must win constantly and cannot make a single mistake.
Because no matter how much you pay and do countless right things, as long as one thing is not good enough, people will remember your mistakes... What's more, the huge defeat at the beginning is indeed an indelible thing on Corsen. stain.
In the past three years, Kosen has put in countless efforts to stop Hicks, always fighting on the front line, rigorous self-discipline and due diligence, only to reluctantly make people regain some trust in him.
But no matter how much effort and make up, it seems so vulnerable in the face of rumors.
Three years is not enough to make people forget the price of the tragic failure at the beginning. He may not be good enough in other places, but he must not cover up Harvey, and he must not make the slightest mistake on this point.
All kinds of remarks are raging, and people begin to question Corson's character and ability, thinking that maybe someone else will do better, and the Federation of Humanity is not a must... People can't accept a person who has been stained and continues to cover up the infected Military commander.
Ye Ming couldn't help but sighed.
[Ye Ming: There is definitely a behind-the-scenes black hand behind the scenes, but this black hand is not Hicks. As an alien who everyone shouts to kill, Hicks has no such influence in the Human Federation.]
[888: That’s right, the black hands are Corsen’s political enemies in the capital star, headed by Senator Lint. They have wanted to divide up the power in Corsen’s hands for a long time, but because of Corsen’s high prestige in the army, they have been Unable to intervene, the entanglement of interests in this is very complicated, and it is difficult to explain in a sentence or two... But their purpose is very simple, that is, to attack Corson.]
[Ye Ming: It seems that even in the interstellar world, human nature has not changed much. There are always many people who are ignorant of the sufferings of the world who like to give pointers to the world. Although I understand the feelings of some people's anger and doubts, it is too easy to be led away. The rhythm is up... Corson is the spiritual symbol and cohesion of the army. The influence he has brought from fighting here for many years is not understandable to those people. If he really wants to replace him, no one can be qualified to replace him in a short period of time. The status in the minds of the soldiers also does not have enough ability to control the whole army, and they do not have prestige to convince the public. By then, the huge fortress of Muhe will be scattered. In this chaotic gap, Hicks only needs to control the remaining infected spies. If you are not careful, the tragedy of Fort Redrick will repeat itself.]
[Ye Ming: For Hicks, it is impossible for him to kill Corson or remove Corson from the position of commander of the army, but it only needs to send me to Corson's side, what? No need to do it and other humans will help him achieve his goals.]
[888: It seems that you have already figured it out.]
[Ye Ming: To be honest, I have always had some doubts before, why did Hicks want to let me come back even knowing that I betrayed it, does it really trust me so much? Now it seems that it has already expected that I will not be obedient. As long as I continue to help Corson, when Corson knows the truth, he will protect me at all costs. But the price of protecting me is high, it will make him no longer invulnerable, and those who don't like Corson will jump out on their own and help Hicks kill him. Some people always put their personal interests above the interests of the people.]
[888: Then what are you going to do now?]
[Ye Ming: I have an immature plan, let's take one step at a time... After all, Roy is indeed an abandoned child who was abandoned by Hicks. Light a candle for him ^_^]
[888: Hehe.]
[Ye Ming: I'm in a bad mood today, I'm going to eat grilled octopus to crush my surprise, eat a bunch of them and throw them away.]
[888:…]
In order to hide his golden eye, Ye Ming put on contact lenses that changed color, so that he looked no different from ordinary humans. At this moment, he was very glad that Hicks didn't turn him into those half-human, half-beast monsters, so it would be inconvenient to go out for shopping. It was totally acceptable to have only one eye color change.
Because of the video, there were many people who knew what he looked like now, and it was a bit risky to go out directly, so Ye Ming put on a hat to cover most of his face in a low-key way, which really allowed him to find the grilled octopus, and he took the time after eating and drinking. to the military base.
Ye Ming's identity is sensitive now, and it is inconvenient to enter and exit here directly. He stood at the door and pondered for a moment before sending a message to Brod.
Brod came out soon. He obviously knew what happened on the Internet. He was very worried that Ye Ming would be in danger. He took him in nervously and asked, "How did you come out? No one recognizes you. Bar?"
Ye Ming smiled slightly: "No, I'm very careful."
Brod breathed a sigh of relief, then asked hesitantly, "Are you here to find the marshal?"
Ye Ming nodded.
"He's in a meeting right now, and I can take you there, but you might have to wait outside for a while," Broad said.
Ye Ming smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I have nothing to do."
Brod said, "Then come with me."
Ye Ming followed Brod upstairs. There were soldiers everywhere. Without Brod's help, he would not have been able to get in here smoothly.
Brod was worried that Ye Ming would be in danger alone, so he did not leave immediately after bringing him here, but stayed with him here.
It's just because of the previous incident, Brod felt ashamed of Ye Ming, his expression was very uncomfortable, and he didn't dare to ask for words, the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.
On the other hand, Ye Ming didn't seem to care. Aside from his identity as an infected person, he was first and foremost a soldier. He placed the mission of protecting mankind above his own personal life and death, so those things seemed unimportant at this moment, not to mention Blow at that time. De also doesn't know the truth. Under such circumstances, who would believe him
He didn't have the energy to blame everyone who didn't believe him.
Brod secretly looked up at Ye Ming, his face was red for a while, and white for a while, he couldn't help thinking of the past, he seemed to like this person more, but it seemed that he never had the chance to say it in his life. Ye Ming likes the marshal, and he has treated him like that before...
Brod thought about it, lowered his head, and looked very sad.
Ye Ming didn't notice Brod's complicated mood. He suddenly heard a fierce quarrel in the conference room.
Brod heard it too, and immediately looked at Ye Ming worriedly, not even caring about his discomfort just now.
A general's rough and angry voice came out, "Your Excellency Marshal, the public opinion outside is very unfavorable to you now. They all say that you are shielding traitors because of your selfishness. Don't you have anything to say to us? If you didn't learn from the outside world. News, we don't even know you've caught that traitor Harvey! Do you really want to cover him up? You have to give us an explanation!"
Corson's voice was low and steady: "General Kasha, please pay attention to your wording, the matter about Harvey and Roy has been explained to you just now, Harvey is not a traitor, he is wronged, I leave him naturally There is no such thing as a cover-up.”
Lieutenant General Kasha snorted, "Roy's few words alone are not enough to prove Harvey's innocence, everything is about evidence, if only a few words can clear the crime, wouldn't it be too easy? In the future, I don’t think those infected people need to be arrested, and they can say that they are not spies and wronged when they are caught.”
Although Kosen's prestige is very high on the military side, there are still some factional disputes among the high-level officers. Lieutenant General Kasha's family does not have a good relationship with Kosen, but is closer to Senator Lint.
He didn't dare to speak like this in front of Corson before, but now he rarely dares to attack when he seizes the handle.
Corson also seemed a little angry, his voice was a little depressed, and his tone was low, "Roy's confession is very important evidence, of course, it should be considered as evidence. As for other evidence, I'm still collecting."
Lieutenant General Kasha wanted to say more, but General Monroe coughed and interrupted him.
Admiral Monroe and Corson have always had a good relationship, and their popularity is also good. This time, he also intends to be a good friend. He said: "Although there is insufficient evidence now, since Roy said so, we can't just because of the pressure of public opinion outside. Harvey was once a member of us and our comrade-in-arms, no matter what, at least we should make a decision after clarifying the facts, and rushing to hand him over to quell the public anger is chilling.”
Lieutenant General Kasha sneered: "When will we find out the truth? Now we don't have time to investigate slowly. If we don't give people an explanation as soon as possible, you and I will not be able to bear the consequences. We are here to fight the alien beast to the death. , risking his life, but now he will be scolded as an incompetent soldier because of the wayward behavior of the marshal alone, saying that we have already been eroded by infected people, can you bear such a crime?"
Although Admiral Monroe knew that Lieutenant General Kasha was a bit selfish, the current situation was indeed not optimistic. He thought about it and turned back to Corson: "Your Excellency Marshal, I understand that you want to give Harvey a clean mood. , but you concealed the news without authorization and kept him, which is really not in line with the procedural process, and gave others the opportunity to attack you. It is better for you to hand him over and put him in jail for investigation and retrial, so that Harvey is not in danger for the time being. , you can also block the mouth of Yoyo outside, isn't it the best of both worlds."
Ke Sen struggled in the bottom of his eyes, his fists clenched, and he did not answer the words of Admiral Monroe.
He knew that Admiral Monroe said these words to give him a step. In order to maintain the stability of the army, it was in their best interest to hand over Harvey, but Admiral Monroe only considered the overall situation. He didn't even consider what would happen to Harvey for this, and actually wanted to abandon him in disguise.
In addition to Roy's testimony, he couldn't produce enough evidence to clear Harvey in a short period of time. If Harvey was put in prison, he would soon face trial, and the case would be handed over to the Supreme Military Court. Incapable of manipulating this trial in front of the whole world.
It is very likely that Harvey will still be executed, or sent to research as a rare infected individual, losing his name and even his freedom, any of these results are unacceptable to Corson.
He can't look at the person he loves and suffer such censure and torture innocently.
So even though Corson knew that it was irrational for him to risk keeping Harvey, he still refused to hand him over, because once handed over, the angry public opinion would make Harvey die without a place to die, and they desperately needed a Humans bear the consequences for their defeat in the first place.
Ke Sen's sharp eyes glanced at the people in the conference room, and said solemnly: "There is no need to mention these words, I have my own arrangements for the disposal of Harvey."
Admiral Monroe did not expect to come to this point. Corson still refused to give in at all, and his face was a little ugly. He said, "Are you really going to do this?"
Ke Sen raised his brows, and said slowly and firmly: "I will never cover up any traitor! Since Harvey is not a traitor, I have the responsibility to give him a clean slate. If anyone doubts it, I can't wait. I'm sorry to push innocent people to bear the guilt in order to clear themselves, so I'm not that kind of person, I'm going to let them down."
Admiral Monroe was a little anxious: "But..."
Kerson stood up and glanced at everyone with condensed eyes, "This is the end of today's meeting." After speaking, he strode out, ignoring the ugly faces of the others present.
As soon as Kesen walked out of the door, he saw Broad and Ye Ming standing outside, their expressions changed slightly, and their eyes suddenly softened, and said, "Why are you here?"
Ye Ming knew this was not the place to talk, so he whispered, "Go to your office and talk."
Ke Sen nodded, and went downstairs with Ye Ming, indicating that Brod could go to his own business, it didn't matter if he was here.
Brod nodded, and before leaving, he said seriously to Ye Ming, "Don't be sad, I'm on your side!"
Ye Ming couldn't help but smile.
Ke Sen and Ye Ming returned to their office, closed the door, and then said gently, "Why don't you stay at home, are you bored?"
Ye Ming said: "I know all the news on the Internet, and I also heard the content of your meeting just now."
Ke Sen's expression stiffened for a moment, he pursed his lips, and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of it."
Ye Ming smiled helplessly, "It's hard for you to find strong evidence. After all, Roy did this by himself, and he would definitely do it cleanly. Fort Redrick... has disappeared."
Cosen said slowly: "In any case, I will not let them continue to wrong you, I will protect you."
Ye Ming was not optimistic. He was silent for a long time and couldn't help but say, "Actually, what Admiral Monroe said is a good idea..."
Cosen was a little angry and a little sad, he interrupted Ye Ming and said, "Don't you know what you will face then?!"
You will be the scapegoat because there are many more people who don't care if you are wronged or innocent... They only know that you are an infected person and they have to have a sinner to take that charge.
Even if you are truly innocent, you will not end up in a good situation just because you are an infected person.
Ye Ming's lips moved, his eyes lowered, showing a sad look, how could he not know
But he really didn't want to see Corson pay such a price to protect him.
If he doesn't stay, it will make Corson sad, and if he stays, Corson will be in a dilemma. Maybe his existence is simply a mistake.
Ke Sen let out a sigh of relief, he hugged Ye Ming and pressed him into his arms, his voice was gentle and low, "Sorry, I was in a hurry just now..."
He paused, his eyes were deep, and he said slowly and firmly: "Please stay by my side, okay? I will think of a way."
Ye Ming sighed and finally stopped talking about handing over himself, but instead asked, "Do you know who leaked the news?"
Corson frowned, "I'm still investigating."
At the time of Ye Ming's interrogation, there were not many people present. There were only Brod and a few of his cronies. They would never betray him. Who the hell leaked the news
…
The public opinion on the Internet is still fermenting, the pressure on Corson is increasing day by day, and the time to go home is getting late every day.
In order not to cause trouble for Ke Sen, Ye Ming didn't go out anymore, it was too dangerous to go out now.
It was not until three days later that he unexpectedly received a communication from Corson, saying that he had caught the person who leaked the secret, but the other party had to ask to see Ye Ming before he would explain it. Now he asked Broad to pick him up.
Ye Ming was very curious about who leaked the video and why he had to see him, so he rushed over quickly.
Ke Sen was waiting for Ye Ming in the interrogation room, and when he saw him coming, he nodded slightly and said, "We found out that it was Dr. Sledley who leaked the video. At that time, he volunteered to participate in your interrogation, although he later also questioned him. A gag order was issued, but he risked uploading the footage anyway."
Ye Ming turned his head to look at the handsome black-haired and green-eyed man who was fixed on the chair. He instinctively felt a little uncomfortable. He still remembered the appearance of this man circling around him at that time, looking at him as if he was looking at someone As a cherished test object, his tone and demeanor made him feel very unpleasant.
But he did not expect that he would be the one who leaked the video.
Corson turned his head and said coldly: "Dr. Sledley, you said you wanted to remove the surveillance, and you had to see Harvey before you could explain it. Now that he's here, you can say it."
Sladeley ignored Cosen, he only had Ye Ming in his eyes, and looked at him with a strange hoarse voice: "You are here."
Hearing this voice, Ye Ming suddenly shuddered, raised his eyes in disbelief and looked at him, his face pale.
The countless terrifying memories rooted in the depths of his heart instantly poured out, causing his body to tremble slightly.
Cosen immediately realized that something was wrong with Ye Ming, and the voice that Sledley made just now was completely different from the voice he had spoken before. The body was occupied by another soul.
Sladeley slowly turned his head, his movements were very subtle, and the center of his pupils was faintly glowing with a strange golden light, his lips were opened and closed, like a puppet, and he said word by word: "My child, you Betrayed me again."
When Ye Ming heard this, it seemed that the terrible nightmare had finally come true again. He staggered back a step, his pupils contracted, and his voice trembled: "No, it's impossible, how could you be here..."
This voice was exactly the same as the voice that Hicks had spoken in his mind back then, but he was clearly just a human being in front of him.
'Slideley' looked at Ye Ming, stared at his golden pupil, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "My most perfect creation, do you like the look I made for you?"
Ye Ming's fist clenched tightly, he tried his best to restrain his inner fear, Ke Sen was standing by his side, this is the territory of human beings, he doesn't need to be afraid of this monster at all!
He suddenly raised his eyes, with a firm and dazzling light in his eyes: "What are you going to tell me?"
'Slideley' smiled and said slowly, "I just wanted to tell you that you made me angry and disappointed, so are you ready to come back and be punished..."
Ye Ming listened to this sentence and remembered what Hicks said to him when he woke up from that endless nightmare. He said let him take off Corson's head to prove his loyalty, otherwise he would come back and merge with him. One…
Ye Ming remembered the torture he suffered in Hicks' body. He looked at those green eyes, as if he saw Hicks staring at him in the depths of the distant universe. Fear drowned him in an instant, even if he left there... The pain was still engraved in his soul.
Ye Ming finally couldn't hold on anymore, he knelt on the ground and let out a rapid breath, clutching the collar tightly, the expression on his face distorted with fear, pain and pain.
'Slideley' looked down at him and said lightly, "Come back, become a part of me again, and be with me forever..."
Before he could finish a sentence, his head was suddenly shot, leaving only a headless corpse on the chair!
Ke Sen's expression was cold and serious. He put down the gun in his hand, turned to look at Ye Ming anxiously, and said with concern, "How are you?" Completely beyond his expectations, he thought there would be no danger at all.
When he realized that something was wrong, he quickly shot Sledley, but Ye Ming's pain did not seem to dissipate.
What exactly is going on
Ye Ming grabbed his collar, he trembled all over, and after a while, he seemed to realize that he was no longer in Hicks' control, that person was not Hicks, he was just controlled by Hicks a puppet.
Ye Ming raised his eyes and saw a small tentacle-like thing entrenched on a piece of smashed meat in Sledley on the ground. He suddenly grabbed the gun in Corson's hand and pointed at the tiny tentacle. Shoot several times! Finally, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his hands trembled again.
Ke Sen didn't rush to ask Ye Ming what was going on, he knew that when Ye Ming calmed down, he would take the initiative to tell him.
All kinds of guesses flashed through Ye Ming's mind, and finally he thought that Hicks should have parasitized the human through the tentacle. Before that, no one knew that Hicks could control others in this way. .
Sladeley is not an infected person, but he is still controlled by him, but this method must be expensive, otherwise Hicks has already controlled countless people, and he will not wait until now to expose his method.
It was clearly running out of patience and had almost used up his cards against Corson. Sledley's exposure made this method invisible, and he deliberately brought himself over and said these words just to cause trouble for Corson.
Ye Ming took a deep breath and said to Kesen, "It wasn't Sledley who was talking to me just now, but Lord Hicks."
Corson was very shocked and surprised. Although many people knew about Hicks, no one had ever seen it. It has always existed in legends, not to mention face-to-face communication. Humans only learned of the existence of Hicks from the mouths of those infected and alien beasts.
Ke Sen remembered Ye Ming's painful appearance just now, and recalled what Roy once said. He said that Hicks made Ye Ming suffer endless torture, and Hicks also personally said that he would punish Ye Ming who betrayed him again... That should be What a terrifying torture, so much pain just to hear that monster's voice...
And for the past three years, I didn't know anything about it, but I foolishly thought that you betrayed me...
Ke Sen was so distressed, his chest was full of powerlessness and self-blame, he hugged Ye Ming's shoulder and let him lean on his body, determined that he would never let Ye Ming fall back into Hicks' hands! Never let him suffer like this again!
Ye Ming felt Corson's embrace, the warmth dispelled the fear that Hicks brought him, his expression gradually became calm, and continued: "It should have parasitized Sledley, so he can control him like this. Corson…”
Corson bowed his head and said, "I'm here."
Ye Ming raised his eyes, showing a sad and helpless expression, he said: "You should have guessed it, if Sladeley had been controlled by Hicks, then he used a separation agent on me to expose me The identity of the infected person... This is all premeditated. It wants to use me to bring you down and divide the human army."
"It let me back, and the order it gave me was to kill you. Now it seems that it actually wants to use me to destroy you. Even if I betray it again and find the traitor, it is meaningless. I am still it. Weapons used to hurt you."
"The more you stand up for me, the more you go against people, the more it does what it wants."
Corson is obviously aware of this, although he already had a bad premonition that everything was directed at him, but the fact that Sledley was parasitized finally brought the truth to the fore.
Hicks doesn't care if he knows the truth at all, because it's an open-ended multiple-choice question, the answer is there, but you can't make a cold choice.
Ye Ming said softly: "handing me over to quell the public anger is what you should do. If you continue to leave me, it will not only endanger you, but the Federation of Humanity. I will not be executed immediately, you must -give up on me."
Ke Sen hugged Ye Ming tightly and said, "We still have a solution."
How could he really be cornered by a despicable conspiracy? If Hicks dares to invade Muhe Fortress again, he must let his army go back and forth!
Ke Sen lowered his head and kissed Ye Ming's forehead lightly. His dark red eyes were deep and firm, and he had a certain kind of confidence. He said, "Trust me? This is human territory, and it's not up to it yet. A monster is unscrupulous here!"
Ye Ming looked at Ke Sen a little lost, but he couldn't think of any other way...
He didn't want to be the weapon that Hicks used to hurt Corson, which made him feel pain and sadness. Do he have to be protected by Corson like a burden
He wanted to protect mankind, he loved mankind, but mankind hated and hated him... This made him feel sad and painful.
It's all because he's an infected person, what if he wasn't an infected person...
Then they wouldn't have to go through the ordeal.
Ke Sen lightly stroked Ye Ming's cheek, gave him a reassuring look, and his voice was calm: "Don't worry, Hicks wants to use public opinion to force me, split the human army and disturb the military's morale, I will let him know, this idea. Too naive."
Ye Ming forced a smile.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside, and there was also the sound of gunshots.
Brod slammed the door open and rushed in. He seemed to be injured, his face was dark blue, and he said anxiously: "Lieutenant General Kasha has brought people around, and with him there are stars from the capital city. Senator Lint, the special envoy, has brought an order from the highest government for you to hand over Harvey immediately."
Ke Sen's eyes were cold, Lieutenant General Kasha and Senator Lint, they not only colluded together, but also dared to act directly, I'm afraid they didn't want to take this opportunity to mutiny, what an excuse!
Brod said to Corson, "You take Harvey first, and I'll stop them!"
Corson stood there, his eyes solemn.
The situation is really critical now. Lieutenant General Kasha wants to strike first. He has an order from the highest government in his hand, and he has an advantage. If he controls Ye Ming again, he can not only directly manipulate Ye Ming to continue to bear the grievances , you can also use Ye Ming to put a charge on himself and pull him off the horse together, so Ye Ming must not fall into their hands.
However, the person I was waiting for has not come yet...
Kesen tightened his jaw, and finally ordered: "You stop them, I will take Harvey away first."
Ye Ming saw that Brod was seriously injured. It stands to reason that Kasha would not dare to kill directly now, so he would not take care of it, but everyone knew that Brod was Corson's henchman, in case the other party took advantage of this Opportunity to play a black hand, saying that Brod was killed by mistake, who can tell
Since Kasha has already made a move, he must be desperate and not give up, because if it fails, Corsen's counterattack is absolutely unbearable for him! He has no way out.
It's too dangerous for Brod to stay!
Ye Ming hurriedly said, "You come with us..."
Brod looked at Ye Ming seriously, showing a shy smile that he hadn't seen for a long time, he said, "I'm fine, you go first."
As I said, I will definitely protect you!
Ke Sen also understood this in his heart, but he was more decisive, grabbed Ye Ming's wrist, and said solemnly: "The time is urgent, let's first—"
At this time, the ground shook, and the huge roar that was hundreds of times louder than the previous movement made everyone stunned for a moment.
Brod looked surprised and shocked. Did Lieutenant General Kasha dare to use heavy weapons at the military base? Is he crazy? Don't you care about the reputation on the surface
But now I can't care about so much anymore. We must let Ke Sen and Ye Ming leave first. He said, "You guys can go!"
But Kesen didn't move this time. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked outside, and finally a shallow, barely discernible smile appeared on his lips, and said, "We don't have to go."
Because the person he was waiting for has come.
Brod looked back blankly and looked outside. In fact, now everyone is looking outside, looking in the same direction.
On the square in the center of the base, a huge silver-white mecha stands there. That mecha is bigger and more magnificent than any fighter plane here. The silver-white streamlined lines and flying wings are beautiful. And the shape full of Weiheli all shows that this is an awesome weapon of war, but she is so good-looking and addicting.
But this is not the whole reason for people's attention, her attractiveness is so unparalleled, in addition to her powerful charm, but also because of the entire human federation, everyone knows who this mecha belongs to.
There was silence all around, and everyone stopped and looked in that direction respectfully.
After a moment, the cockpit in the middle of the mecha finally opened slowly, revealing the owner sitting in it.
She stood up from the inside, took her long legs and stood in the center of the huge mecha, as if being held by an ancient giant in the palm of her hand, and then jumped directly from the hundreds of meters high cockpit, landing firmly on the ground!
She slowly stood up straight, because she was wearing a close-fitting combat uniform, her graceful and tall figure was unobstructed, and she raised her head to reveal a beautiful and noble face, with silver hair and purple eyes shining in the sun.
People looked at her with admiration and bowed respectfully.
Princess - Her Royal Highness Veranica.
The twin sister of His Highness Sarn.
She is coming.
