Harmonic Battleship Hyperion

And the most important thing is that there are many guys in the Marine Corps who share the same smell as him, so during non-combat time, the bar will basically not be silent.

But this time, the situation is obviously different...

Whether it was the space-time distortion field that looked like it was about to tear apart the entire planet, or the twelfth-level psychic explosion that was comparable to the Queen of Blades, and finally Lin Yuan's psychic impact that directly pierced half of Baishere, it was all the same. A sight that ordinary people can hardly see in their lifetime.

Even a veteran like Odim, who has followed Renault to Ayr and seen countless big scenes, was extremely shocked, let alone other Rangers.

Renault is not a leader who likes to conceal and deceive, so as soon as he formulated the battle plan, he had already told everyone about the crisis facing the Koprulu Sector, including the soldiers on the Tex... To be honest, In Halm's view, this is a dangerous decision, because it may cause mutiny.

After all, not everyone can keep calm in the face of a world-destroying crisis, and they most likely want to escape immediately, the farther the better.

Fortunately, Renault's good reputation has played a role. Although it is impossible to calm all the rangers, as long as they can execute the battle plan calmly.

But now, the crisis has been resolved, and the soldiers under tremendous psychological pressure have also felt an irresistible sense of fatigue... Therefore, no matter whether it is the Hyperion or the Tex, most of the people who have no missions have returned. In the bedroom, the interior of the two battlecruisers became extremely peaceful.

The same goes for the Valkyries. As the main force of the battle, Jizi and the Yae sisters are naturally "unable to rise again". Qiyana, who participated in the reconnaissance mission throughout the whole process, fell asleep after confirming Lin Yuan's safety, and Mei was more abnormal. Locked himself in the room.

Excluding Bronya who went back to the bedroom to play games and dragged Xier over at the same time, the only ones who are still moving freely on the ship are Fu Hua, Rita and Deli in the training ground. Sarah three people.

"So... Rita, how did it feel to fight the protoss for the first time?"

"I don't quite understand what you mean, Madame Teresa."

The smiling Rita maintained an absolutely standard ladylike sitting posture, exuding an impeccable feeling all over her body.

She knew that the reason Teresa called her here was definitely not to sum up the lessons learned from this battle...

"It literally means, I want to know, after the real battle with the protoss, will you still underestimate the Koprulu sector?"

"Underestimated? Why did Ms. Teresa say that?"

"Stop pretending here, Rita, your thoughtfulness is not enough in my eyes..."

Teresa seems to have fallen in love with a small folding fan that she got out of nowhere recently, and she likes to shake it a few times no matter who she talks to, "When you first came here, you planned to make a deal with Lin Yuanxu and wait and see before changing. I understand that, after all It's human nature...but now, you'd better make a clear choice, whether you plan to help Lin Yuan deal with that dark god Amon together with us, or observe the world by yourself."

Fu Hua on the side didn't quite understand the meaning of Teresa's words. It seemed that she was forcing Rita to express her opinion, but Lin Yuan had already said that he would not restrict the freedom of any Valkyrie. What's the point of his statement?

Sure enough, Rita thought of this too.

"I don't think the two options conflict, Ms. Teresa."

She said calmly: "Also, please forgive me, I don't seem to have any reason to sacrifice my life for Mr. Lin Yuan."

"Yes, of course you didn't, but I don't allow two-hearted members of the Valkyrie team... because I can't guarantee that you will not act to disappoint us at the most critical moment."

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Rita's face disappeared completely, and Fu Hua looked at Theresa in surprise, as if she didn't quite understand why she said that.

In fact, among all the Valkyries summoned by Lin Yuan, Teresa was the only one who saw a hidden danger that had not yet appeared in the team, that is, alienation...

In the case where the team members are all "Saint Freya faction", this kind of hidden danger will hardly appear, and the reason why Teresa "recruited" the Yae sisters on Villitia is to let Qi Yana and the others can safely hand over their backs to them.

As for the last Seele, judging from her personality and relationship with Bronya, there shouldn't be too much of a problem.

But Rita is different. Even if she has never been hostile to St. Freya, even if she has been carrying out the mission of observing the Houkai phenomenon in the Quantum Sea or another world, she is still an S-rank Valkyrie of Destiny, a potential enemy. .

And Teresa has long since ceased to be naive, so it is naturally impossible to allow such hidden dangers within the team.

Therefore, Rita has to make a statement, whether to obey based on the premise of working together, or to part ways and leave on her own... Although this cannot guarantee anything, as long as she clearly states that she chooses the former, then the future "orders" will be true. It's an order.

In this way, I have completely handed over the initiative to the other party.

"...Ms. Teresa, I suddenly understood why you were able to mediate between governments of various countries with the help of a St. Freya Academy."

She narrowed her eyes slightly, and said in a tone of admiration and emotion: "It seems that those presidents are not all for the sake of destiny and Bishop Otto."

"There's no need to talk to me, Rita, I'm past the age when I need to be more self-respecting. It's not ashamed for me to take advantage of the situation reasonably, even if the person I want to borrow is that man."

"The principal of the school..."

"Don't interrupt, Fu Hua!"

Teresa suddenly raised her voice, but her tone was not too harsh, "I know what you want to say, but this must be clear, otherwise Rita won't be considered as really joining us."

Ok?

Rita suddenly felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell where it was.

However, she didn't have time to think about it, because Teresa's extremely serious gaze had already swept over, obviously waiting for an answer.

With strong demands, reasonable coercion, and proper language, the school principal has almost done everything that should be done in the negotiation to the extreme, making it impossible for him to avoid the inevitable, and it is even more impossible to fish in troubled waters and play Tai Chi... The other party stopped Fu Hua's speech was probably to prevent her from stepping up to smooth things over, so as to give himself room to maneuver.

No wonder even Bishop Otto is afraid of St. Freya...

"Ms. Teresa, you should give me time to think about it?"

"From the moment you set foot on Baishir, you should consider this issue."

Tsk...don't even give a chance to procrastinate...

Rita's hands on her lap were slightly clenched, obviously under psychological pressure.

This situation of "forcing to stand in line" abounds in world history, because most leaders hate neighbors who waver and have ambiguous attitudes, so a paper of covenant is indispensable... although not necessarily Nothing really guaranteed, but at least nominally able to occupy the commanding heights.

It's just that what Rita didn't expect was that Teresa was able to use classic political methods to such an extent.

To put it simply, if I choose to officially join here, then if there are any objections in the future, I will definitely have some scruples, because after all, it is my own decision, and if I choose to leave... well,

Just as the atmosphere in the martial arts training ground became more and more serious, the guy who spoiled the scenery suddenly appeared in the martial arts training ground.

"Theresa? Rita? Are you here too?"

"Ah... Mr. Lin Yuan!"

Rita had never imagined before that she would be so happy to see him one day.

Without giving Teresa any time to react, she stood up directly, walked quickly to Lin Yuan, crossed her hands on her lower abdomen, and bent down respectfully and gracefully, "Dr. It's over, isn't it? Glad to see you safe and sound."

Um?How did Rita's attitude become so nice?

Confused, Lin Yuan looked at Fu Hua and Teresa behind him, and found that one of them had a forced smile on his face, as if feeling a little embarrassed, while the other pouted with raised eyebrows, apparently I am very dissatisfied...

Could it be that I came in at the wrong time?

I have to say that Lin Yuan is actually quite smart, knowing that the word "you" should be used here...

"Uh...thank you, Rita, by the way, what were you discussing just now, did I disturb you?"

"Oh, it's not a big deal, it's just a trivial matter. Ms. Teresa felt that after this battle, I should have understood the current situation, so I must clarify the responsibilities of my Valkyrie team members and accept the status of superiors and subordinates, otherwise I have to leave the Rangers It’s almost the same as what you told me on Baisher hahahahaha..."

Rita, you...

Lin Yuan just stood there dumbfounded, Teresa barely broke her small folding fan, and Fu Hua tried very hard not to laugh out loud.

But soon, this smile disappeared, because she suddenly remembered that Rita seemed to have said that when she was in the Stetmann base, if she didn't obey the order, Lin Yuan would take off her clothes and leave. drive her away?

Wait a minute, do we need to take care of this matter?

"So it's this... Don't worry, Teresa, you don't have to worry about anything, I'm sure I won't let Rita go."

"……Clam?"

Now, it was Rita's turn to be dumbfounded, while Teresa and Fu Hua looked at each other.

"Mr. Lin Yuan, you obviously..."

"Yes, I will not restrict your freedom, but I must consider your safety."

"An... safe?"

Lin Yuan nodded, taking it for granted.

In fact, it was because he had changed his mind after witnessing the danger Rita encountered in the face of the Immortals on Baishir.

The current Koprulu sector has been thrown into chaos by Amon, and it may be affected by the flames of war everywhere. Under such circumstances, it would be irresponsible for her to let the "unfamiliar" Valkyrie leave... just in case of luck If he ran into a rampant golden fleet or a raging zerg swarm, Lin Yuan who summoned her here without authorization was equivalent to an indirect murderer.

So, Rita can't be let go!

"At least until I defeat Amon, I can't let you leave alone. The Koprulu sector is not a peaceful place, even if you have seen many worlds before."

"It really touched me, Mr. Lin Yuan."

Although she said so, Rita's tone and expression didn't seem to be moved, instead she was a little dumbfounded and embarrassed, "But I'm more interested in a bustling planet like Keha."

The implication is that even if you want to leave, you will only go to a safe place.

"That's not okay, I can't go up to Keha to protect you."

"...No need."

Rita's patience was almost exhausted, and Lin Yuan's serious eyes made her feel quite uncomfortable, and it was difficult to look at them.

Intuition told Rita that the guy in front of her was not talking pretty.

"Then the Hyperion probably won't go back now, anyway, let's stay here first, and besides... I really appreciate you taking care of me on Baishir, Rita."

……

"There is an old saying: the first is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the next is to attack the city... Although I trapped Rita in the way of the enemy, it is still not as good as Lin Yuan's attacking style... ..."

"What do you mean?"

"It's just a sigh, don't worry about it, Lin Yuan."

Not long after Rita left, Teresa returned to her calm and breezy look, shaking the small folding fan in her hand again.

In fact, her "forced" just now was not for Rita to fully integrate into the Valkyrie team, or it was not just for this purpose...

True politicians undoubtedly need to take a long-term view. Although Teresa does not meet this definition in a strict sense, she must also act in a similar way. It is impossible for the garden to fight against the destiny with a thousand-year history.

The fastest and most effective way to get acquainted with Rita, Kiyana and others is because Teresa is seven or eight percent sure that she should not be the one who supports Otto.

As for Void Manzang, judging from ordering Rita to go to various worlds to observe the phenomenon of Houkai, the main purpose of this unknown existence should also be to deal with Houkai, so naturally it will not be of one mind with Otto.

Then, relying on getting along in this world, even if she can't instigate rebellion, it should still be possible for her to remain neutral in the event of a confrontation.

In this way, two of the three S-rank Valkyries of Destiny will not become enemies... That Youlandal has always been a wild crane, far away from people's sight, and he must be the commander of the Valkyrie Troop The official shadow wolf will be a problem.

Yes, all of Teresa's considerations at this time are to prepare for dealing with Otto in the future.

"What the principal means is that you chose to attack the heart first, Lin Yuan."

Fu Hua tried to explain it from her own point of view. Although she is not a politician in any case, she can still see the essence, "How do you feel now?"

"It's still the same sentence, great, it's like being reborn."

To put it bluntly, now Lin Yuan has even developed the confidence that he can confront the Queen of Blades head-on.

Of course, this refers to the previous one, how strong the original Queen of Blades who got the power from Zerus is, it is not sure... When attacking the palace of Augustegrad, In order to avoid hurting the surrounding civilians and Raynor's rangers, Kerrigan has been extremely suppressing the release of his power, and he can't see his true level at all.
