Byron's Blade

January 1, just after three o'clock in the afternoon.In the city of Artemis, the capital of the city of adventurers, in the barracks of the General Command of the Southeast Military Region, soldiers are performing daily training tasks, and there are orderly and loud chant sounds everywhere.On a tree-lined avenue not far from the mecha training ground, a battery car drove by, and there were two female officers in military uniforms sitting in the car.One is driving, the other is sitting in the back seat, there is silence between the two, and no one speaks.

The driver is Jill.The person sitting behind the car is Lanny.

The car drove under a magnificent building, Jill stopped the car, the two got out of the car, and walked into the building side by side.The military uniforms on their bodies are neat, but their faces are still covered with tapes, scars remain, and there is still deep fatigue and pain in their eyebrows and eyes.

The building they arrived at was the office of General Luo Jia, the supreme leader of the Southeast Army and one of the seven generals stationed in the city of Artemis.On the morning of this day, General Luo Jia invited the two of them to discuss matters, and the time was set at a quarter past three in the afternoon.So Jill and Lanny, who had rested for two days, came to the appointment together.

The reason why they were only invited to discuss matters was mainly because they were the only military personnel who survived this expedition, and their appearance in the army would not be too suspicious.Especially because of Jill's presence, he was able to lead Lan Ni, who had been suspended, into the command camp of the Southeast Army.Now is an extraordinary period. General Luo Jia is under the heavy surveillance of the Church and General Conrad, and cannot leave at will.This time, the meeting was specially arranged by General Luo Jia, and the surveillance was blocked for a short time before it could take place.

As soon as he entered the building, he saw General Luo Jia's secretary and adjutant waiting in the lobby. When he saw the two people coming, he led them to the safe passage in the building without saying a word, then entered the electrical room, opened the He got out of the maintenance elevator in the motor room, and took the elevator all the way up to the top floor where General Luo Jia's office was located.Immediately afterwards, he entered a utility room next to the bathroom, and removed the cabinet in the utility room, revealing a coded lock door.The secretary's adjutant led them to open the door and enter the secret room, where General Luo Jia was waiting.

I haven't seen her for several months, General Luo Jia is still dressed in a straight military uniform, her staff and knife never leave her body, her hands are crossed in front of her body, and she is sitting on a chair in the secret room with a big horse and a golden knife.The tall and straight body shows incomparable high spirits and perseverance.Seeing the two people coming in, she smiled faintly, stood up, and extended her hand to them.

"Heroes, welcome to your triumphant return." She said softly.

Hearing what she said, Lanny and Jill felt extremely complicated and bitter, without smiling, they shook hands with her seriously.Luo Jia asked them to sit down, and the two of them sat down directly, not in the mood to be polite.

Luo Jia naturally knew their state of mind at the moment. When she said this, she was not mocking the two of them, but she had to cheer them up.

"I know that you have just come back and have experienced a lot of pain, and you have not yet come out of the shadows. But I hope you can cheer up as soon as possible, time is running out, Rudolph's death is a great stimulus to the enemy, it is difficult To ensure when they will attack, we must act in advance.

Now, timing is of the essence.We have already sacrificed too much, and there can be no more sacrifices. "Luo Jia said very seriously.

Both Lanny and Jill are people who know the current affairs, and they both nodded to express their understanding. They calmed down and listened to Lorgar's continuation.

Luo Jia said: "I probably know everything that happened during your expedition, including some very secret things. Dr. Bailey compiled a detailed report overnight and gave it to me. Now we all know that the seriousness of the matter has already passed. It has come to the point where we have to fight each other with open swords and open guns. Especially in the Church, the death of Rudolf was a great stimulus to the first Pope Rafinu who was confined in the Nine Gods system. It is hard to say, the Church Could there be any overreaction there.

And Lanny, although I can't bear it, I still have to explain to you that your father and mother are in a very critical situation now.They were originally under house arrest in the city of nobles, and we can still get some news about them.But in recent days, the news has been completely interrupted, and all the people we placed in the city of nobles have been removed.We don't know what kind of revenge the church and Andres will take on your parents, the situation is urgent. "

Lanny shook her head, expressing that she was mentally prepared.road:

"General, I want to know what the overall situation is now? What should we do next?"

Seeing that she was calm and calm, Luo Jia nodded involuntarily, opened his bracelet ID, called up a three-dimensional military map, and explained: "The situation has been deteriorating recently. Western troops, including some stationed in Sa The troops under the control of Andres in the Lille, Terri and Crimean regions have frequently deployed their defenses and began to gradually move closer to the federal central region and the southeast region, as if preparing for a military operation. Their goal is to fight with the southeast The army formed a confrontation, oppressed and threatened me, and forced me to surrender, and then started the seven-pointed star general meeting, dismissed my military power and general position, and appointed others.

Here in the Southeast Army, He Yun and I have already formed an alliance, but because the main city is now controlled by the church, Lafontaine, the general of the noble city, has long since fallen to the church, so our west is full of Western troops.The terrain of the federation is high in the west and low in the east, and the internal war of the federation, under the premise of not using large firepower and destructive weapons, the army is the main force and the air force is assisted. and fortress battles.In this way, we will not have an advantage geographically.Although the new general Strong in the Northwest, the city of science and technology and culture belongs to us, she has just come to power, and the military power in her hand is empty, and she can't form a pincer attack with us. task.

As for General Petrov in the Northern Ice and Snow City, he is an idiot, and he still maintains a neutral stance so far, neither leaning on either side.It's hard to say if he's going to help Andrés and stab us in the back.Therefore, we also need to deploy defenses in the north. In this case, the troops will be too scattered and the defense line will be too long.We do not have an advantage in terms of military strength.

Analyzing it this way, the situation is not optimistic.What worries me the most is the first pope Rafinu who is lurking in the Nine Gods system. I am afraid that she will do something in the Nine Gods system to interfere with or even attack our soldiers mentally, causing paralysis of our troops here. We are helpless and have no power to fight back. "

Jill frowned and said:

"Could it be that she can control the soldiers when our soldiers take off the bracelet ID?"

"It's hard to say. You know, as early as a generation ago, almost all the people of the Federation had integrated the Nine Gods system into their brain cells from the very beginning. Every child, during the entire process of artificial gestation, is affected The Nine Gods System has a subtle influence on brain development. It is during such a process that the Nine Gods System is implanted in everyone's brain, and as the brain develops more and more complete and mature, hundreds of millions of Nine Gods System are formed. A living branch port. The Jiushen system does not rely solely on the bracelet ID for monitoring. I think that as long as the human brain is still alive and emitting brain waves, it cannot be separated from the Jiushen system.

Taking a step back, even if you really get the bracelet ID and you can get out of the Nine Gods system, this is still very difficult.The bracelet id represents legal federal citizenship. This concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for decades. Even my soldiers, I can’t guarantee that everyone will dare to take off the bracelet id and follow me to launch an uprising revolution. There is no turning back Not everyone can make up their minds on the road to death.It would be unimaginable if officers and soldiers defected at the critical moment of the uprising and revolution. Lorgar said with a sigh.

"It seems that the top priority is to eliminate the threat of the Jiushen system to us first." Lan Ni said.

Luo Jia nodded, and continued:

"So, I want to ask you, when will Mu Li start to act. The most important thing to eliminate the threat to us from the Jiushen system is her. She cannot be missing in our plan."

Mentioning this matter, Lanny's complexion seemed even paler.Jill glanced at her and sighed silently.Things are really hard to describe these days.

In the early morning of January 1, a group of people who landed at the southeastern foot of the Himalayas successfully sent out a rescue signal. After waiting for two or three hours, they waited for the rescue sent by the Southeast Army.In fact, this rescue force is a flying brigade stationed in Sarrier, a reconnaissance force that is responsible for border patrols and scouting the movements of Zerg and predators all year round.Sarrier was a mixed force at that time, there were people from the western army and the southeastern army. Sending a reconnaissance plane in the name of patrol would not attract too much attention, so Luo Jia ordered this army to go to the rescue.

Seriously injured and exhausted, the 13 expeditionary force survivors, together with the remains of Colonel Sona and Major Chris, were all brought back to the camp of the Flying Reconnaissance Force in Sarrier for temporary adjustments.

At that time, all the wounded were sent for treatment immediately, and the slightly injured fell down to sleep after treatment.But at [-] o'clock that night, they were all woken up. The train sent by the Southeast Army to pick them up arrived. The group was transferred to the train and rushed back to Artemis City overnight, where they were placed in the Southeastern Army General Headquarters. In the big camp.The wounded continued to receive treatment, and Lan Ni and other slightly injured were also arranged to continue to be nursed and recover their strength.

On the train, Dr. Bailey rushed out a report, detailing a series of events that happened during the expedition, and presented it to General Lorgar without any delay.On the 21st, Luo Jia summoned Lanny and Jill to discuss follow-up matters.

And for the past two days, Mu Li was in a coma and never woke up.After a doctor's examination, it was said that she had been severely mentally stimulated and was self-enclosed. Whether she could wake up or not depended on whether she wanted to wake up.

This is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Lanny.In the past two days, she didn't have a good rest, she was always worried about Mu Li and stayed by her side.However, this person, as if he was determined, did not give her any response.Lan Ni was tortured to the point of exhaustion. At this moment, she no longer had any support. Her father and mother were imprisoned in the enemy's base camp. Her brother was gone, Mu Li was in a coma, her teacher Mu Xin was gone, and her friends were dead or injured. Injured, empty all over, the loneliness and the huge pressure made her breathless, so that this strong, courageous, intelligent and cunning young lady was almost crushed and lost her previous courage and self-confidence.

But she hasn't given up yet, and today she cheered up and came here just for Mu Li, and for the cause that Mu Xin left for them.

She said: "General, I want to ask you one thing. This is also related to whether Mu Li can wake up, I hope you can agree."

Luo Jia's expression turned cold, and he asked:

"You said, I will do my best to do it."

"First you cooperate with all of us to play a play, say that the teacher Mu Xin is not dead, and then you record the scenes of sending a search and rescue team to search and rescue Mu Xin. On my side, I keep trying to use these pictures to subconsciously stimulate Mu Li , maybe she can really wake up."

Luo Jia was a little stunned.

"General, Mu Li's mother died. This incident hit her too hard, and it hit all of us. If she wants to cheer up, she must give her hope. Only when she has hope, can all of us have hope." hope. I know it's difficult, but I want you to say yes to me."

Luo Jia was silent for a while, and finally replied solemnly:

"Don't worry, I will take care of this matter. Moreover, it is definitely not a fraud. The hermit is someone I respect very much. Now that she is gone, she doesn't even have a body. I was about to send someone to dig Zeus. The place where the number fell, this matter, leave it to me."

"Thank you General, thank you."
