Chapter One Hundred Land and Nine Underground Lonely Army
"His Excellency President, we..." The Admiral of the Second Squadron connected the president's dedicated line.
"Don't act rashly when you withdraw first, but don't retreat too far. Follow them from a distance first, so as not to think we are afraid of them... Major General, there is no objection to dealing with the military department like this?" The president turned his gaze to a senior military officer in the corner of the conference room. He was a military adviser stationed by the president, responsible for coordinating the affairs of the federal government and the military department.
"We have no objection, and even we dare not joke about the fate of the earth." The major general was also contacting the upper classes of the Federal Army distributed throughout the solar system. "It seems a bit inappropriate to do nothing. It is better to use the facilities of the Second Squadron to scan Neosfia's current specific situation, such as internal damage, whether there is any riot, and even resistance forces loyal to the Federation trying to contact the outside world. These can be learned directly through physical scanning. Now we have no clue about the specific situation of Neosfia. At least we need to have a general concept and make other plans in detail. Anyway, they just ask us not to send troops to the city. We believe that this level of temptation will not cause Neosfia's reaction."
"Ye... makes sense. Admiral, have you heard it? Just do it." Nodded slightly, the President issued an order to the Admiral of the Squadron.
―Neosfia underground? Anti-gravity department? Somewhere-
"Damn it, I can't find the way to the upper floor anywhere." Maria sat on a machine with a little deflated. They had climbed several floors along the emergency stairs, but they had never found an elevator that could directly reach the upper floor, which made the temporary team seem a little sluggish.
"Xiao Mengyu, we... won't be trapped here, right?" If anyone among the people was most afraid of getting lost, it was probably Li Jingyun. Looking at the endless steel maze that seemed to be endless, Li Jingyun asked Xiao Mengyu guiltily.
"Sister, don't worry, we will find a way out. If it really doesn't work, I will use my ability to open a way!" Xiao Mengyu was also very annoyed, but he still comforted Li Jingyun with words.
"I advise you to dispel this absurd idea. We are in the anti-gravity department of a floating city. If we destroy any important component, we must be buried with this city!" Maria obviously did not think that Xiao Mengyu's plan was feasible.
"What do you think you should do? We have been wandering around here for six hours. If we continue like this, we really have to be sleepy here as my sister said!" Xiao Mengyu was in a bad mood and immediately became angry.
"Okay, okay, do you still have the strength to quarrel?... That's why I hate the city. If I get lost in the jungle, I can still solve the problem of food and drink." Ren Tianmo stood up impatiently to persuade the fight, but from his tone, the complaints of "we shouldn't have come here at first" seemed to be more.
"I'm too lazy to argue with you, the willful little guy. How is the situation with you two?" Maria ignored Xiao Mengyu, who was angry, turned her head to Vader and the memory center who were busy on a terminal in the corner of the wall.
"No, the password security level here is too high, and it cannot be deciphered at all under the current conditions." Vader shook her head. She originally planned to obtain the accurate map nearby by repairing the terminal.
"Oh..." Maria sighed disappointed. The few of them returned to Neosfia when they were tired of playing in Dongdu. It was already dark and the water had not yet entered, let alone have a good rest. If this continues, the situation will be bad.
――The upper floor of the Anti-Gravity Department? Central Monitoring Room―
"How are our guests?" The old man with a mechanical prosthesis walked into the monitoring room and asked the man in black inside.
"As you expected, both physically and mentally are declining. If you sleep with them like this for a few days, you probably won't even have the strength to stand up." The man in black stood up respectfully and reported to the old man. On the screen behind him was the scene of Xiao Mengyu and Maria quarreling.
"Well, let them do this for the time being. Anyway, we have time to deal with them. This revenge of broken arms cannot be paid for in just one life." The old man stared at Li Jingyun, who was at a loss on the monitor, and said coldly.
The old man was telling the monitor something, and suddenly the few people on the monitor changed.
"Drip..." The id card on Maria's body rang.
"Yeah?" Maria took out the ID card in surprise. It was a very unfamiliar communication number. She really didn't expect anyone to send her a message at this time.
"Maria Eisenfield, who are you?" Maria quickly connected the communication.
"I am the admiral of the Second Squadron of the Federal Earth Circle Fleet Roman Loren, Major Eisenfield, report your current situation." A majestic voice came from the communication. (Remember? All the current teachers of Zhongdu College are military.)
"Yes, sorry, who are you?" Maria couldn't react a little when she was suddenly ordered like this.
"Don't doubt, what you are receiving now is the Federal Army encrypted communication. If you don't believe it, you can check it out yourself." The Admiral understood Maria's suspicion and explained patiently.
"..." Maria quickly called out the source search option. Sure enough, there was no exact address, only a line of seemingly meaningless error code. As a current military officer, Maria knew that this line of numbers represented the encrypted communications of the military.
"I'm so rude, Lord Admiral, where is your fleet now?" Maria did not answer the Admiral's question, but instead asked the Admiral.
"We are now in the air less than a hundred kilometers away from Neosfia. What? Don't you know?" The admiral did not expect that the officer was even more ignorant of the status quo than they did.
"To be honest..." Maria smiled bitterly, "We were trapped and have been trapped in this maze-like anti-gravity ministry for six hours. We would be very grateful if you could point us a clear path."
"This is OK. I will ask the radar to use gravitational radar to send you a three-dimensional map. But before that, I would like to tell you the current situation. Maybe you don't know, but now you are the only one who can solve this deadlock."
"Stayoff?" Maria was stunned.
"About four hours ago, the Neosfia government declared independence from the federal government on the ground that the federal government was suspected of assassinating Grand Duke Anlinshe Heslop, and is now using the threat to prevent the federal government from occupying Neosfia."
"Ha?" The sharp change in the situation surprised Maria.
"To be honest, we were also surprised, but now is not the time to be surprised. Because of this threat, we cannot give you any assistance. In this city, the federal forces that can still be contacted are only a group of federal celebrities under house arrest in the Grand Duke's Mansion. Some of them have combat capabilities but are closely monitored. Without external rescue, they cannot act rashly."
"So what is the current situation of Grand Duke Heslop? I have contacted this person, and I don't think she will oppose federal rule."
"I don't know, if what you said is true, then she was either stabbed by the Senate Group as a fake act, or was under house arrest like those celebrities."
“…I understand, then what is our mission?”
"The most important thing is naturally to remove the local forces from the control of the city of Neosfia, so that we can send troops to land in the city immediately. If possible, please rescue Grand Duke Heslop and other celebrities under house arrest. I think their subordinate bodyguards should become a combat force. How about it? Can it be completed?" Judging from the admiral's cautious tone, this task is very important.
"Depending on the current situation, it's hard for me to assure you that it will be completed, but we will try it out." Maria is not the kind of hard-working national military officer, and will not boast about "guaranteed completion of the task".
"Then we can only wish you good luck. This attachment is a three-dimensional map we scanned and should be able to help. Once you control the agency, please contact us immediately. This fleet will log in as soon as possible to join you." The admiral simply put down the communication.
"What's going on?" The old man in the surveillance room also looked at this scene and asked the surveillance.
"The source of communication sent from outside is... the Federal Fleet."
"Can't it be cut off?" The old man seemed very dissatisfied with the inaction of the surveillance.
"No, the power stages are too different, we can't stop them." The monitor told the truth.
"So they already have a real map?" The old man also knew that the electronic functions of space warships were very powerful, and it would be fine to scan a planet, let alone a mere city.
"It should be like this."
"...No way. Although it's a pity, let the Ye team go out now. Just play whatever they want, but remember that little girl must keep a living, she is mine!" The old man said, "The finger was hard on the display screen.
"Yes!" The monitor lowered his head and agreed...
