On the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Corps, Moore contacted Liu Zhen: "We can't sit still, Lieutenant Colonel Liu, now the Federation is threatened by two lieutenant generals, we must take action first."
"You mean..." Liu Zhen pondered for a while, "Sneak attack?"
Moore nodded. Although he was in a hurry, his voice remained calm: "The two lieutenant generals are likely to be in the hands of the male insect kingdom. We must first find out where they hid the insects."
Liu Zhen said: "But after all, they are still in the federal defense line. The decisive battle has not yet come. The sneak attack on the federal defense line is too big. We have to report to the Office of the Marshal of the Capital Star Headquarters first."
…
"What? The worm is gone?!"
Augsger was holding Erlang's legs and looking at the map of the border between the two armies, he raised his eyebrows in surprise: "The male country smuggled them away?!"
Beside him, Visier lowered his neck, pointed to the spot on the map where Augsger had clicked, and smiled sullenly: "I said this organization is unreliable? The military wants to cooperate with them, and now Well, when others use it up, they will kick us out."
Augsger ignored Visil's sarcasm, and frowned, "Where did they send Lu Chen and Gu Yu?"
The subordinates who came to report could not answer why.
Visier tapped his fingertips on the territory of the empire, smiled lightly, and asked, "Where can they send Lu Chen and Gu Yu?"
Augsger stared at the vast territory of the empire, and paused in his words: "The headquarters of the male country? - Where will it be?"
The Federal Army is anxious, as is the Imperial Frontier Combat Command.
During the video conference, there were only two of the former five commanders. Alfried stared at Liu Zhen and Moore who came to report urgently, his eyes narrowed and he pondered.
Han Yi quickly got the same news from his subordinates, shook his head at Alfrid and said, "I can't get in touch. Indeed, the signal of the entire capital star Five Elements Circle has been cut off from the outside world. Not only the administrative headquarters and the First Army Corps. There is no contact with Congress, and the residents of the capital star also…”
In the past, in order to check and balance the military, the constitution required five army commanders to live on the capital star, and their relatives also stayed on the capital star.
Han Yi said this because he had already tried to contact the family on the capital star. Lieutenant General Han's parents passed away early, and he has not yet married. There is only one young nephew in the family.
Alfrid also tried, and shook his head likewise, sweating a little from the optical brain lens in his hand: "My side too... The central hospital can't be reached."
Bard, who happily retired from retirement, is still lying in the Capital Star Central Hospital.
"There is only one question now." Han Yi tapped on the table, trying to divert the anxious worms' attention, "-What happened on the Capital Star? Why was the signal cut off, and why couldn't we get in touch with the rear? "
Liu Zhen scratched his hair anxiously, and first said a guess that few insects dared to say: "There are only two possibilities, either the Federation circled behind us and attacked the five planets in the capital circle, or there was an undercover behind."
All the worms were silent.
The second guess they cannot accept. The first guess they are easy to accept, but the hardest to do.
How could the Federation bypass the iron-clad front and reach the rear, causing the entire capital circle to fall
The five planets in the entire capital circle are strictly guarded by the First Corps, making it the safest place in the entire empire. Even if it is a sneak attack, it cannot be successful overnight. Why didn't they get a little bit of wind on the front line during this period
The royal family is still on the capital star.
Outside the infirmary, when Kleist heard the secretary's report on the fall of the capital, his first reaction was disbelief.
"Marshal Randall is still sitting on the capital star, and the First Army is also there. How could the Federation be unknowing..." Kleister paused, "Could it be the male country?"
Soon he refuted himself again: "But it's impossible, not to mention that the base of the male insect kingdom on the capital star has long since disappeared, even if their entire organization is added up, fighting against the First Army is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. ."
The secretary wanted to say something, but Kleist took care of himself, and was about to go to the main control room to see Lieutenant Colonel Zong Moer, who was in charge at the moment. Another secretary guarding the infirmary rushed out, ecstatic. Said: "His Royal Highness! His Highness! His Highness Chris, he, he—he woke up!"
This time it was a rare sanity.
Kleist couldn't care about whether the capital star fell or how it fell, and rushed into the room two steps at a time, seeing the familiar figure sitting on the head of the bed, his eyes were filled with tears for some reason. famous.
Sure enough, old and old, insects began to hurt the spring and sad autumn.
Kleist reluctantly controlled his emotions and stepped forward to support him who was about to get out of bed: "Don't move around, the doctor said that you just woke up, don't stand if you can sit, and don't if you can lie down..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chris first grabbed his arm emotionally, his hair was disheveled, and his mouth was hoarse. He coughed before he could barely make a sound.
"Don't go back to the capital, Kleist, ahem, don't go back!"
Kleister's tender peach blossom eyes suddenly froze, patted him on the back, and asked in a deep voice, "Chris, do you know what it is? What happened to Capital Star, why can't you go back?"
Chris hunched over and coughed in his arms for a long time before he gradually recovered and said in a hoarse voice, "Aris, Ares is not only my father and mother..."
Kleist looked like a thunderclap: "You mean, Ares has two?"
He asked urgently, "Who else is there?"
The moment they saw the capital star and the first army, Gu Yu and Lu Chen suddenly understood who the other one was.
"Lieutenant General Lu, Lieutenant General Gu." At the gate of the ship, the colonel of the First Corps pointed his gun at them and said, "I'm sorry."
The colonel waved his hand.
The army worms at the bottom took action one after another, took over the work of the members of the male country, and escorted them to the suburbs—a familiar route leading to the familiar military administrative headquarters.
Gu Yu and Lu Chen didn't say a word the whole time, and it took time to digest this astonishing truth.
Lu Chen actually knew the colonel who escorted them. Even when he was young, when Lu Chen was the lieutenant of Randall, who was a lieutenant colonel, the colonel was a division colleague with him.
They have been born and died together, and under the banner of the First Legion, under the leadership of Randall, have established an immortal medal. But now, the colleague that Lu Chen had handed over to his back pointed the gun at him.
The atmosphere of silence has been shrouded in the carriage, almost suffocating all the insects in between.
It was raining lightly outside the window.
The rain was sticky, and there was a layer of fog on the street, turning the starless streetscape of the capital outside the window into a veil-like veil.
These army bugs were very polite to Gu Yu and Lu Chen from beginning to end.
In addition to being extremely cautious to point guns at them from all directions to prevent any changes, the army worms remained silent from beginning to end, getting on and off the car were all "please", which is more polite than the kingdom of male worms who kidnapped them. times.
But this polite silence made it more difficult for Gu Yu and Lu Chen to breathe than the rude treatment.
Or rather, unacceptable.
It was not until he got off the car that Lu Chen raised his dark eyes, looked into the eyes of the colonel in the rearview mirror, and asked, "Why do you do this?"
Just as Gu Yu was about to get out of the car, he held his teacher Lu's fingers intertwined.
All the army bugs were attentive at the same time, raising their guns vigilantly, aiming at the two bugs in the carriage from all directions.
But Lu Chen really just asked this question and didn't make any small moves.
The colonel who was sitting in front of the co-pilot was silent for a long time, before he dared to look up to meet Lu Chen's line of sight in the rearview mirror. After a long while, after they all got out of the car, the colonel repeated what he said before:
"I'm sorry, Lieutenant General Lu."
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, but did not respond.
After getting out of the car, Gu Yu stretched out his other hand to catch the rain, rubbed the pads of his fingers, and held it to the tip of his nose to smell it. He glanced at Lu Chen with deep eyes and nodded secretly.
Lu Chen understood that this rain was exactly the same as the weird rain they experienced on the front line before.
They miscalculated a little bit from start to finish. That rain has nothing to do with the Federation, it is the kingdom of male insects, or the worm they are about to see.
The army bug did not take them to the main building, but went to the basement under the main building. Before that, Gu Yu and Lu Chen didn't expect that the headquarters actually had a basement. Take the elevator down, and there would be a whole third floor underground.
The walls on these three floors are thick, and the walls are all made of dark silver metal. The interior is tightly equipped, not like an office, but like the underground research room of the Mecha Research Institute.
Although there have been speculations for a long time, when I actually saw it, the feeling was another shock.
The military female with pale blond long hair, who was wearing a simple white military uniform, was sitting on a swivel chair, and slowly turned towards them, revealing a handsome face.
Lu Chen's naturally cold black eyes stared at him.
He also stared at Lu Shen.
After a while, Lu Chen read out his name word by word:
"Randall."
The military female sitting with her legs crossed smiled and the gentle expression on her face remained unchanged, just like his usual appearance. It was as if they didn't meet in this situation, but the usual reunion after a long absence.
"Long time no see, two." Randall said with a smile, "Welcome back to Capital Star."
Gu Yu rolled his eyes and smiled as well.
He was laughing at Randall, and at the same time he was laughing at them being tricked around.
"It's been a long time indeed." Gu Yu sighed softly, "When I left, I thought that General Lu and I had to triumph from the battlefield before returning to the Capital Star."
Randall smiled gently and persuaded with understanding: "Lieutenant General Gu, there is no need to be so sorry, everything is just a little bit ahead of schedule."
"It's better, the two of you first say hello to the people of the empire." He turned the chair again, slowly exposed the camera behind him, and smiled, but the smile never reached the bottom of his eyes.
"After all—the two have always been very popular among the public."
The signal of the capital star was indeed cut off, but it was unilateral, and it only cut off the signal of the four legions on the frontier battlefield.
In other words, the five stars in the capital circle, and the various galaxies in the empire's territory, large and small, all watched this live broadcast. Moreover, it occupies every screen, large and small, just like when the male insect kingdom was announced, forcing everyone to watch it.
The four frontier legions broadcast the live broadcast through signals from other galaxies at the same time.
Alfrid and Han Yi stood up at the command ship of their respective legions at the same time, their eyes widened, and they stared at the screen in amazement.
The two legion commanders are not fools either. The situation in the capital circle gave them the first and easiest guess as to who had betrayed the Empire, but again, their years of dealings with Randall made it impossible for them to say or believe that guess.
Moore and Liu Zhen paused, and opened their mouths in vain, not knowing what to say.
They saw Gu Yu and Lu Chen who had lost contact. But obviously, their mood is definitely not happy now.
Bud was sitting on the hospital bed, struggling to move with the prosthetic limb that he had just put on, but he was panting for a while and couldn't really stand up.
The TV that suddenly changed the channel also instantly caught his attention.
In recent days, Bud also noticed something strange on the capital star: the army was mobilized, the male worm was caught, the street was blocked, and everything pointed to the only worm.
He tried to contact Alfrid and the others, but to no avail. He wanted to escape, but in addition to being unable to move because of the injury, he was also secretly controlled by the insects of the First Legion outside the ward.
Bud stared at the blond female on the screen, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his fist slammed on the quilt angrily.
From the very beginning, when the main war faction and the development faction were divided, Budd firmly sided with Randall. After Randall was awarded the title of Marshal, which one of his decision-making opinions did not support Randall, convinced that the Marshal could bring new hope to the long-war empire
Bud's eyes were fierce and he gritted his teeth fiercely. As a result, Randall answered him like this, answering the people of the Empire
Gu Xi and Phimes, who were in the Gu family's old house, also watched the live broadcast.
In the past few days, the capital star has been under martial law, not only the airport has been shut down, all worms are not allowed to go out, all are trapped in the capital star home, and the male worms on the capital star are all forcibly recruited by the first army and taken away.
Gu Xi faintly sensed that something was wrong, he could not contact his brother and Lieutenant General Lu, nor Meng Liu, and was so anxious that he was about to get angry.
It wasn't until the residents on the Capital Star watched the live broadcast that they finally understood what had happened in the past few days - it wasn't the Federation that came in, or the Empire that was defeated.
But the biggest undercover agent is the imperial marshal himself.
Gu Xi was completely dumbfounded, and Phimes beside him was no less so.
This move is too big, not only all the people of the empire are stupid, but also the federal people who have eaten the empire through the star network are stupid.
Augsger was on the front line and was stunned when he saw the live broadcast. He murmured in disbelief: "The big boss behind the scenes who cooperated with us is actually the marshal of the empire?"
Visier laughed at himself: "This battle is really interesting."
So far, what is still unclear
Randall played with the Empire and the Federation at the same time. He used this war to transfer all four legions to the front line, leaving only the first legion, which he completely controlled, to stay behind. cold.
Randall's tone is still warm, just as he used to stand in front of the camera and make a statement to the people of the Empire.
"Who said there is only one Ares? It's too narrow-minded to think like this." He narrowed his eyes with a smile, "It just so happens that I'm the other one."
Gu Yu and Lu Chen looked at him and smiled, but felt extremely cold in their hearts.
If it was Randall who revealed his identity in private, the two of them wouldn't feel cold in their hearts. But Randall dared to reveal his identity in the entire empire, all the stars, and live it live—either because he thought it was completely foolproof, or because he decided to get the biggest vote in the end.
Gu Yu squeezed his teacher Lu's knuckles, and the brows on his face slowly opened with a smile.
"That's really because we're too narrow-minded. Marshal Randall—or should we call you Ares now?"
"Why don't you tell us stupid bugs how you went from being a marshal to the head of a terrorist/organization without knowing it? Forgive me, I really don't understand, what do you think? of."
