Chapter 194: Relinquishing the Throne
Yang Hui and the other two also stopped the pursuit after receiving the order.
No, it should be said that after presenting a grand "fireworks show" to the BEGAN fleet, they did not pursue VEGAN seriously.
Otherwise, the remaining fleet of Zanad would not have had the opportunity to join the Jehart fleet.
After returning to Lost Loulan, the three went directly to the headquarters and joined Argureas.
On the way, they also met the indignant Arthurm.
"Uncle, did you release it to the sea?" Arthurm asked directly.
"Oh? You can see this? You have improved a bit."
"Why?" Arthurm asked.
He is definitely one of the people who knows the strength of Yang Hui and the other two the best. Although the earth's environment has some restrictions on the strength of Yang Hui and Youlin, if they are serious, the Zanad fleet will not have a chance to retreat. It is not a problem to entangle the Jehart fleet and cooperate with the army to wipe it out in one fell swoop.
"If you are stupid, ask less and do more. You have to learn from Gerard in this regard." Yang Hui teased.
Gerard and Reina were also among the group, but neither of them directly expressed their doubts.
"Hehe, thanks for the compliment, Lieutenant General... Wait! Lieutenant General, are you saying that I'm stupid?" Gerard was originally complacent, but soon found something wrong.
"Well... it seems that I'm not that stupid."
"No! Lieutenant General, I admit that I can't think of a reason for you to do this, but I absolutely trust you! So I didn't ask, but didn't Reina ask either? Why didn't you say her?" Gerard said aggrievedly.
"Because she is smarter than you." Yang Hui smiled and looked at Reina, "How? Can you guess?"
"... I have a guess, but the information is insufficient and it can't be confirmed." Reina answered seriously.
"What do you think?" Yang Hui spread his hands to Gerard.
Gerard: (╥ω╥`)
While chatting, the group came to the headquarters. After Arugureyas arranged the aftermath, he took them to the combat meeting room and joined Fleet who had been waiting there since early morning.
"Thanks to the three lieutenant generals, otherwise we would not have achieved such a great result." Argureas said excitedly.
"Let's stop the meaningless flattery here, Argureas, what's the result?" Fleet scolded.
"Well, I'm rude, old commander. In this battle, our army eliminated 70% of the invading enemies. If the intelligence of the intelligence department is not wrong, VEGAN's fleet in the earth orbit is almost gone, and the planned goal has been achieved." Argureas reported.
"Well, then arrange for the fleet to take off immediately, and send the fleet to space before VEGAN's supplementary fleet arrives." Yang Hui said.
"It's already being prepared. At the latest tomorrow night, the first batch of fleets will be able to take off into space, including the Songstress and [Bai Ze]."
"Well."
Everyone nodded. Argureas's arrangement was very appropriate, and it was difficult to find any loopholes.
"But three lieutenant generals, I have a mission that needs three of you to perform."
Hearing this, Yang Hui and the other two stood up and saluted Argureas with a serious look.
"That thing has appeared again."
"Admiral, you are right!" Arthur stood up excitedly.
"Well, recently, there have been several merchant ship attacks near the No. 1 cemetery, and the subsequent investigation team failed to find any survivors."
"It is indeed them!" Arthur's expression was sometimes angry and sometimes excited. He himself has been looking for Sid, not for EXA-DB, but only to avenge his former comrades.
"Sid... Argureas, now is not a good time." Yang Hui said.
Generally speaking, Yang Hui would not object to orders. He also wanted to obtain EXA-DB and kill Sid to avenge his former subordinates.
But as he said, regaining control of the Earth's orbit requires a large amount of troops and combat power. Before the Earth's orbit is completely mastered, they, as the strongest combat power, have more places where they are needed.
"What the lieutenant general said is true, but the problem is... the investigation team found the wreckage of VEGAN's warship near the No. 1 cemetery."
"VEGAN!"
"Yes, according to the information collected by the Intelligence Department, Izelkanda has been secretly sending people to look for something, and has not stopped even at a great cost."
"I see, it seems urgent."
Yang Hui and others realized the seriousness of the situation. Only a small part of the technology allowed VEGAN to suppress the Federation in technology for decades. If VEGAN gets the complete EXA-DB, then the Federation will really have no chance of winning.
"So, Lieutenant General Yang Hui, Lieutenant General Graham, Lieutenant General Yulin, accompany the [Heavenly Man] Brigade to the Universe No. 1 Cemetery to seize the [Cursed Secret Treasure]!"
"Yes!" X6
"Old Commander's words..."
"I will follow the Diva." Fleet took the initiative to say, although he was also very interested in EXA-DB, but Yang Hui and the other three had already gone there with the [Heavenly Man] Brigade, and it was most appropriate for him to stay on the Diva to replenish the combat power.
"I understand. I'll leave it to you, old commander."
"Yes."
"That's it. Everyone, go back and prepare."
"Why don't you ask me why I let the remaining fleet go?" Yang Hui asked Arugureyas.
"The lieutenant general must have his own considerations." Arugureyas said without hesitation.
"Alas, you know it all, why can't my nephew, who has grown up with me since childhood, see it?" Yang Hui shook his head pretending to be sad.
"Hmm?" Argureas was stunned for a moment, then laughed randomly, "Hahaha, that's really a pity."
Everyone else laughed, but Fleet looked at Arthur with anger.
The official order has been issued, the meeting is over, and now it is private time, so the atmosphere is naturally casual.
"Uh... I don't understand, so I ask?" Arthur said awkwardly.
"So... you tell him?"
"Then I'll make a fool of myself."
As he said that, Argureas called up a piece of data, which was the casualty data of VEGAN's large-scale invasion of the earth.
"This is..."
"It's true!"
Arthur and Gerald looked at the data and were confused, but Lena figured out that this data just proved her guess.
"What do you mean?" Arthur and Gerald asked like dumb babies.
"The casualties of the VEGAN invasion were completely polarized. On one side, the casualties of cities and ordinary citizens were very serious, while on the other side, there were almost no casualties. The damage was basically military facilities."
"Is there any problem with this?"
"Ah..." Reina was also depressed. It was okay that her husband was not smart, but why was her boss like this too?
But the big guys present looked at her expectantly. Helplessly, Reina could only take out the PAD, call up the battle data of Lost Loulan, and then explain.
"In this Lost Loulan defense battle, VEGAN was divided into two fleets, one descended from the Earth's orbit, and the other launched an attack from the sea, but the timing of the two fleets' attacks was obviously out of sync, and the cooperation between them was better than nothing, so..."
Reina paused and said her guess.
"... I guess there are conflicts between VEGAN's troops."
"Go on."
"Yes, after the battle, I found from the records that both the admiral's deployment and the three vice admirals' fatal blow were aimed at the fleet that landed in the Earth orbit, and in the end they did not kill them all. So I guess... the vice admiral and the admiral should want to completely split VEGAN from the inside."
"Pa pa pa..."
The applause rang out. Reina's guess was very accurate and her analysis was very accurate.
"Excellent analysis and inventory. Although my deployment was not aimed at anyone, they just happened to get into the pocket." Argureas praised.
"Arthur, you can step down and let the wise man go. With your brain, you can't lead the [Tianren] brigade." Yang Hui teased.
"Um... this... that..."
"Excuse me, Lieutenant General." Asem was still speechless, Reina took the initiative to stand up and refused, "Captain Asuno is an excellent captain, very suitable to lead the [Tianren] Brigade."
"Reina..." Asem was very touched, but the next second, he was petrified.
"Although Captain Asuno is easily impulsive, likes to take all the responsibilities on himself, likes to snatch other people's opportunities to make meritorious deeds, his brain is not very bright, and his tactical command is very poor...but overall he is also a competent captain."
"Stop talking, okay?" Asem cried and begged Reina to shut up.
"Reina, are you sure you don't want to be a captain because you don't want to manage such subordinates?" Gerard asked weakly.
"Click~"
"... You too!"
"Hahaha."
"Okay, let's get ready. I'm afraid there won't be an easy life in space. Tell the little bastards to get enough rest and prepare for more intense battles."
"Yes!"
...
Graham took Gerald and Reina to the hangar and transported the machine to [Bai Ze]. Yang Hui, Yulin and Arthur stayed behind. There was something very important to make clear to Fleet.
"Is Chio also participating in the battle?" Yang Hui asked Fleet.
"... Yeah."
"Did he figure it out?"
"... No, he wants to find the answer in the battle."
"Is that so... Hehe, your family has been like this for three generations." Yang Hui shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Fleet was like this before, and so was Arthur. Even Chio had to find the answer in the battle. This is really a three-generation relationship.
"Blood is inherited." Fleet and Arthur also shrugged and admitted it.
"Flit, stop imposing your ideals on the child."
"I know..."
"He's leaving it to you, father. We'll meet up with you after we complete our mission."
"Well, don't worry, that child is much better than you." After saying that, Fleet glared at Asem unhappily.
Asem: (╥ω╥`)
It's definitely his biological father.
