Chapter 520 Scholar Meets Soldier
"Damn it, they actually want us involved in this kind of thing! What is the commander thinking?!"
A girl with horns, her tail wagging wildly behind her, looked extremely anxious: "Are we going to start a war with the Void Hunter? New Ellie doesn't even need a civil war, this is going to be a military court!"
The acquisition of Huijing Meike is the hottest news in New Elidu recently. It concerns a new Void Hunter, a Void Hunter who will bring peace to New Elidu.
She was talking about it with great enthusiasm not long ago, but she never expected that she would lead her team into a quagmire today.
If not handled properly, her beloved descendants may be sacrificed on this meaningless battlefield.
How could this be? What is Iserld thinking? To actually carry out Lorenz's order!
"Captain Ghostfire, calm down!"
Orpheus reassured his tail behind him, "Perhaps things aren't as bad as you think. We're here on a protection mission, not a combat mission."
"hope so."
The will-o'-the-wisp raised its electronic eye and looked at the foreground from afar; the outlook wasn't too optimistic.
War is not child's play. The fact that they've adopted this posture indicates that Lorenz is prepared for war.
She looked at Iserd, wanting to get to the bottom of things.
If necessary, she should report the matter to a higher level to prevent any unfortunate incidents from occurring.
Soldiers are duty-bound to obey orders, but this is a rebellion, and she is being forced to rebel. She has to prepare for the worst!
When confronted by the will-o'-the-wisp, Iserd simply replied, "You don't understand. I have my own plans."
"Ok?"
Ghostfire was stunned. The usually talkative girl suddenly felt like a stranger to her old comrade-in-arms: "But this is a crime! That's not what you told us yesterday!"
The acquisition of Huijing Meike was announced by Su Chen and the mayor in a live broadcast; the military had nothing to do with it.
Yesterday, Iserle only said it was a normal security mission, but now it's clearly not normal.
What's wrong with her upright old comrade-in-arms? It seems she never really understood Iserde.
“I said, I have my own plans.”
With her hands behind her back, Iserde's sharp and bright eyes, framed by her tousled hair, said, "Sometimes, I envy your ignorant passion; I can never do that."
"what are you saying?"
The feeling of the will-o'-the-wisp was getting increasingly strange.
Why did Iserde say that?
Could it be that she completely sided with the corrupt Lorenz, abandoning honor for personal gain?
"You don't need to understand."
Iserd gave the will-o'-the-wisp a deep look, her voice high and clear: "All you need to know is that if you follow orders, your fate will not be bad."
She glanced at the Valkyries across from her through several figures and gave a self-deprecating smile.
The false god did not descend, and even the resurrection of a few soldiers was hesitant and evasive. All that effort only produced a flawed projection. It was simply the world's number one shockwave!
The true god, without a sound, resurrected the entire Silver Army and related experimental subjects in a short time, instantly clearing all the voids within the safe zone. The false god's domain crumbled at the slightest touch; this is the true god!
Iserd flicked a strand of hair, her posture ramrod straight, and said calmly, "Be thankful, will-o'-the-wisp. Before the false god descended, the true god suddenly arrived and favored goodness. Otherwise, this world would have burned."
She was very unlucky; she joined the ranks of the false god early on, and now she has to rely on this kind of suicidal opportunity to meet the true god again.
Even with such an opportunity, she couldn't say whether she could seize it.
I just want to give it a try, so I'll have no regrets in this life.
"..."
The will-o'-the-wisp couldn't understand it at all; it really couldn't comprehend Iserde.
She had a premonition that her old comrade-in-arms was about to do something big.
But she didn't know what this big event would be.
She's in a hurry. Can't she just say what she wants to say? She hates riddles!
……
And at this time.
Lorenz stood in front of Luke and Philoxes, looking like the boss.
He looked at the girls of the Silver Army and asked with a gentle smile, "Gentlemen, is Lord Su Chen not here today?"
"Yes."
Anbi nodded and said seriously, "Su Chen entrusted this matter to us, and we will complete the mission."
"Lord Su Chen is extremely busy, it's a pity I have no chance to meet him."
Lorenz's smile widened, and he felt a sense of relief.
It's good that they don't come; it's good that they don't come. We don't have to confront that powerful Void Hunter head-on.
This also shows that Su Chen doesn't value Huijing Meike's assets and is very likely to give the military face, getting his hands on hundreds of billions of dinis.
"..."
Ambi gave Lorenz a strange look.
This matter seems to have nothing to do with the military. Why would a major general of the defense forces be here?
Without much thought, she addressed Luke and Philoxes behind Lorenz, saying, "Are you ready? Cooperate in handing over all of Huijingmei's assets, and then come with me to receive your punishment."
Her mission was clear: to assist the artificial intelligence in receiving the Radiant Crystal, with the AI responsible for receiving the property and the AI responsible for eliminating any obstacles to physical destruction.
It's a very simple task; no wonder Su Chen gave it to them.
"..."
Luke and Philocne were enraged, and their faces immediately darkened.
Are you kidding me? Just hand over all your assets and accept the punishment.
They get slapped every day while sweeping the streets; they might as well be killed!
I'd rather die than not be rich and powerful!
"Cough cough."
Lorenz also felt a sense of being ignored, but he still looked at Ambi and smiled, "This representative, you are somewhat unaware of the current situation. Previously, on behalf of the Defense Force, I invested in Huijingmeike, acquiring a 20% stake."
"I strongly support Lord Su Chen's Idinney Acquisition Act, but I hope that the military's assets will not be damaged. I believe Lord Su Chen thinks so too."
He gave a crisp military salute in the direction of Ambi and solemnly declared, "All for the new Elidu!"
This little girl looks a bit naive; she should be easy to handle.
So young, yet in charge of such an important project, even a major general like him has to greet him with a smile.
The world is so dark, how can someone like him, from the bottom of society, ever turn his life around?
We must hold onto our 20% stake in Huijing Meike. Whether we can climb higher depends on this opportunity.
Success would not only bring substantial profits, but also the support of a group of TOPS conglomerates, making a lieutenant general or even a commander a possibility!
"Are you trying to get in my way?"
Ambi looked at Lorenz with a strange expression, and the Leo Cloth began to gather light: "Execute, clear command."
She didn't understand what the major general was babbling about, but the powerful AI connected to her Cloth told her that she could perform the cleanup.
Although targeting a major general in the defense force was contrary to her previous understanding, since Su Chen felt it was acceptable to act, she would still listen to him.
Her former general did not help her resurrect her sisters.
"See? This is the ugly face of the defense force. He's trying to rob Commander Su Chen of his money!"
At this point, Twiggy points to Lorenz and tirelessly promotes the idea to her sisters.
These sisters died too young, still clinging to a corrupt sense of honor, unaware of how despicable some of the defense forces truly were.
She must constantly instill this in her, lest something unexpected happen in the future.
"Uh-huh."
The other Silver Army girls nodded earnestly.
Having gone through a near-death experience, one's mindset naturally changes.
It was a certain general who made them kill each other to eliminate the so-called failures.
Even Su Chen, who resurrected them, said they were all perfect, which means there are bad people in the defense force!
"Gudu~"
Lorenz swallowed hard, his smile freezing on his face: "I am a Major General in the Defense Force, the Guardian of New Elidu. You cannot kill me."
They didn't even listen to a word before taking action?
Do these people have absolutely no respect for the defense forces?
At least, at least talk to him a little more, right?
That golden light looked terrifying.
