"Ding, a random mission is triggered."
"Make sure Sherry Nome and Orchid Lee are safe and do not fall into the hands of the Earth Unity Army Headquarters; protect the 25th Ship Group and resist the attack of the Earth Unity Army Headquarters; protect Queen Vajra from the Earth Unity Army Headquarters" Control; destroy the Earth Unity Army's conspiracy against the twenty-fifth fleet, Vajra."
"If the mission is successful, you will receive an unknown reward, 80,000 combat merit points, and one designated follower."
"If the mission fails, all combat points will be deducted, and Shirley's followers will be cut off. She will be jointly hunted by the Earth Unity Army and Vajra for three months. After three months, the mission will end and she will return to Prometheus."
"Huh..." Xiao Ran breathed out softly and rubbed his aching head. The random mission was indeed what he thought. Different missions would be triggered according to the different areas he went to. However, the random mission he received now was different. It's quite a headache. This is simply the pace of the Earth's unified army.
The Earth Alliance Army wants to control the Queen of the Insects and gain the power of the insects. What they cannot avoid is the 25th Fleet that has begun to live with the insects. Now, there are already many people in the 25th Fleet. After passing the assessment, they were infected with the bug virus and cured, and basically gained some ability to communicate with bugs, and more and more people joined the ranks.
These people who were infected by the virus and cured all 'adopted' a juvenile bug of their own as a partner. Under the fetters caused by the V-bacteria that coexisted in the body, these V-bacteria infected and cured people It is absolutely impossible to give up on your partners, just like an insect will never give up on them.
Even the citizens who are not infected with V-bacteria have developed a kind of recognition of bugs after the previous accidents, and they are also waiting for the government's arrangements for V-bacteria infection, not to mention that the current twenty-fifth fleet is basically Under the protection of bugs, there is no need to continue wandering in the unknown universe. This is a hard-earned happiness and security for the entire twenty-five ship group.
Among all the people in the crew, Lanhua and Shirley's power cannot be ignored the most, and they are the only two who can directly affect the actions of the Insect Queen. Among the two, Orchid and the insect have a deeper connection. They can even use the information of the gay fleet to control the mother queen of the insect, so the Earth Unity Army is bound to win over them both.
But if the Earth Unification Army wants to achieve its goal, it must drive away the twenty-fifth fleet, depriving the entire fleet of happiness and sense of security. Even depriving them of their relatives and friends who have been infected with the V-bacteria and adopted bugs. These things have been drifting in the universe for countless years and basically have no sense of recognition of the earth. That is simply... A kind of absolute hatred, so when the order of the Earth Alliance Army was passed to the fleet, the entire fleet was obviously on alert.
No matter where you look at it, Xiao Ran's mission is a full-scale war with the Earth Army. Although the mission does not limit the way to complete the mission, even if Xiao Ran drops an MDE bomb at the Earth, as long as the mission can be completed, it will count. Although this This approach is neither advisable nor possible. But at least it's an option.
According to the standard, the tasks given by Prometheus can be completed in different ways, but the current task does not give Xiao Ran more choices at all, because it is impossible for Xiao Ran to hand it over, and the task fails. She will also lose Shirley Lou. This leads to the fact that even if Xiao Ran is a little evil and willing to hand over Orchid to the Earth Alliance Army, it will be in vain.
When Xiao Ran felt a headache, Shirley was leaning on her hips with a nonchalant look on her face. In the bridge of the Main Angel, Basak suddenly frowned. Graham, Naluo, and Malu's hearts sank. There was a trace of solemnity on their faces, especially Graham and Naluo. When they looked at each other, they saw a determination that could never fail in each other's eyes.
Luo tightened the turban on his head, patted Xiaoba lying next to him and stood up: "Xiaoba, I will leave the operation of the battleship to you for the time being. I am going to start working."
The calm and mysterious smile disappeared from Cruze's face. He looked expressionlessly through the transparent glass of the bridge and looked at the huge spaceship in the distance that was sitting on the water or the sea. It was also a huge city. .
Xiao Ran's small plane landed directly on the lawn in front of the presidential palace gate. As soon as Xiao Ran stepped off the plane, the plane behind him took off again under Shirley Lu's 'order': "Moses, take me to SS."
Watching the plane take off again and leave, Xiao Ran also looked at the Presidential Palace in front of him, and thought in his mind that if the target he chose before was the earth, it would turn into a fleet. However, this idea only came up as a thought, and Xiao Ran suppressed it. He nodded to the butler who came to greet him, and followed the butler into the presidential palace.
President Glass still looks the same. I don’t know if it’s because of his previous tolerance and fat body, so his figure is a little fatter, but maybe it’s because of the order from the Earth Unity Army that his expression is a little bad.
After seeing Xiao Ran enter the study, Glass stood up from his chair very happily, walked around the table and walked to Xiao Ran, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Where have you been during this time? Let's go." You didn’t even say a word to us when you came, just sit down quickly, butler, and serve tea.”
The housekeeper nodded and bowed out. Xiao Ran was pulled by Glass and sat on the sofa in the study. He said, "Don't worry about me. During this time, I took Shirley to go on an adventure to the border planet and made a few friends." , I just realized something wasn’t right when I came back.”
"Hey." President Glass sighed deeply and said with a tone of helplessness and a hint of hatred: "You have been away for almost a year. At the beginning, everything was fine. The life of humans and insects began. Fusion, everything develops according to the plan you made before."
"But just over a month ago, the Queen fell into a deep sleep, and most of the bugs also left here, leaving only a few to protect us and the larvae. I learned from Orchid that the bugs went far away. After breeding with bugs from other galaxies, the Queen’s consciousness also left with it.”
"This news was originally top secret, but somehow it was dug out. After the Earth Unity Army, which had been spying on the power of bugs, learned of the news, they immediately issued an order to us to hand over Orchid and Sherry, hand over all those infected with the V-bacteria, hand over the military power of the Defense Union Army and continue sailing. How can we agree to such a thing, so the current situation between us and the Earth Union Army is very tense. "
"If the bugs were still there, how dare the earth do this to us? Damn it!"
Having said this, President Glass also glanced at Xiao Ran and said: "And you, because you took Shirley away and did not return to Earth after the mission was completed, you were officially wanted by the Earth Alliance Army in the name of defecting. Come back now." It’s really not the right time.”
"Am I wanted by the Earth? The Queen of Insects fell into a deep sleep?" Xiao Ran felt his eyebrows twitching and smiled bitterly: "This is really adding insult to injury. Then SS and other fleets, and even the border fleet gave this order to the Earth Army Any indication?"
President Glass shook his head and said with a wry smile: "There are some border fleets and forces from some border planets who are willing to support us and have officially made their voices heard. SS is also willing to provide us with some support in secret. Because of this, the Earth Army Although the authorities have issued an order, so far they have not taken any action against us due to the tense and confrontational situation and fear of causing more disputes."
"In fact, many fleets are currently maintaining a neutral attitude towards this, because the power of insects really scares the Earth Army and these fleets. The Earth wants to get this power, but there are also forces that are unwilling to let the Earth get this power. Yes, these fleets are more considering who gets this power without posing a threat to them and bringing them more benefits without expressing any opinions."
"In other words, at least some of these ship groups that have not yet spoken out can be won over by us." Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Prometheus will not issue missions that cannot be completed. If only twenty-five When it comes to the fleet facing the Earth, there is basically no possibility of victory. Even with the protection of some of the insects that are still on this planet, the Twenty-fifth Fleet does not have so many resources and people to consume in the war with the Earth. middle.
As long as most of the people in the twenty-fifth fleet are dead, the earth will also achieve its goal, and Xiao Ran's mission will still fail.
The support of the border fleet and border planets, the support of SS, and those fleets that have not expressed any opinions for the time being will become the key help for Xiao Ran to complete this mission, which will only provide an extra guarantee for the successful completion of the mission.
Fortunately, the Earth Unity Army has not made any moves yet, so Xiao Ran still has some time to prepare.
President Glass nodded and said: "Yes, I have also sent people to contact those autonomous shipping groups. I believe it will not take long to get a reply, but I guess there may not be too many shipping groups willing to support us. .”
"But if we can contact the 7th Ship Group and get their support, maybe this matter will be settled."
"The seventh fleet?" Xiao Ran frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "You mean the fleet that experienced the war with the original demon?" (...)
