Chapter 213 Crazy Izelkanda
Jerhardt returned to the Second Moon with the remaining fleet. He was still a little uneasy at this time. After all, he did not follow Izelkanda's order, and he also lost the Luna Base, which made VEGAN's current weak situation worse.
"Haha, you still have the face to come back, Jehart."
As Jehart's old rival, Zanad was waiting for him at the port early when he learned that Jehart's fleet had returned in defeat. If Zanad, who had been suppressed by Jehart, could not meet Jehart and taunt him as soon as possible, wouldn't it be unworthy of his identity as the number one opponent (in his own opinion)?
But Jehart would not be stimulated by such a petty trick.
"Zanad, I heard that the Second Moon was invaded by the Federation Army? And let them escape safely?"
"You!"
Jerhardt's simple counterattack ignited the flames in Zanad's heart. The burning anger made Zanad want to pull out his gun and shoot Jehart directly.
His hometown was invaded by the enemy, and he was deceived by the illusion created by the enemy, which led to the enemy's safe evacuation. This was his greatest shame.
Gerhardt had no interest in arguing with Zanad. Zanad thought he was his opponent, but Zanad didn't know that Gerhardt had never taken Zanad seriously. People with such narrow temperament and vision were not qualified to be regarded as opponents by him.
Gerhardt's opponents in his heart have always been Yang Hui, Flit, Argureas, and even Izelkanda. What he wanted was always the future of all VEGAN compatriots, not just personal interests.
"Gerhardt~!"
Seeing that Gerhardt ignored him, Zanad rushed to Gerhardt, grabbed his collar and lifted him up.
"Zanad, what do you want to do?"
"Let go of Lord Gerhardt!"
Dor Frost and Fram Nara saw that Zanad was going to use force on Gerhardt, and they drew their guns without hesitation and pointed them at Zanad's head, threatening him to stop.
On the other side, Zanad's men also aimed their guns at Dor Frost and others at the first moment. The two sides, who should have been companions, were as nervous as a gunpowder barrel about to explode.
"What? Are you going to do it?" Gerhard asked Zanad coldly.
"You... Humph!"
Zanad wanted to answer "I am going to do it", but he also knew right from wrong. Although Gerhardt returned in defeat, causing VEGAN to suffer heavy losses and even suspected of disobeying orders, as long as Izelkanda did not issue a formal execution order, Gerhardt was not a traitor, and he had no excuse to do it to Gerhardt.
Gerhardt returned to the ground, straightened his wrinkled collar, glanced at Zanad, and walked past Dor Frost and others with Fram Nara and walked towards the inside.
After they left, Zanad could not help but get angry. When he thought that Gerhardt actually looked down on him and that the spy he sent over also betrayed him, he fired a few shots into the sky to vent his anger.
"Ah~!! Gerhardt! Fram! You wait! One day I will make you die ugly!"
...
"Lord Gerhardt, Zanad is getting more and more excessive." Dor Frost reminded.
"Don't worry about him, he is just a chess piece after all, and he is trapped in the fantasy of being a chess player and refuses to wake up." Gerhardt said calmly.
"Yes..."
"Okay, don't worry too much, he is still useful now, and we are about to face Lord Izelkanda." Gerhardt said solemnly.
"...Yes." X4
The four of them were very nervous at this time, because they didn't know whether Izelkanda would severely punish Gerhardt because of the failure of this operation, and...the slightly tentative order was not executed, and the conflict between Gerhardt's faction and Izelkanda's faction might be exposed.
"Lord Gerhardt, should we make some preparations in advance?" Fram Nara asked in a low voice.
"Can you shoot at your compatriots and your homeland?" Gerhardt did not answer Fram Nara directly, but asked them instead.
"This..."
The four were silent. They could not do it. The disagreement between them and Izelkanda was only a conflict of ideas. They were VEGANs, and the other party was also VEGAN. They were all compatriots. They could not be enemies with their compatriots and their hometown.
"Don't do anything. I believe that Lord Izelkanda will understand us. Everything is for VEGAN."
"Everything is for VEGAN." X4
...
Gerhardt came to Izelkanda's room alone. Izelkanda was also sitting alone in the study waiting for his arrival. Although he was dressed neatly and sat upright, his face was still sickly pale.
"Jerhardt, you're back."
"Yes, Lord Izelkanda, I'm very sorry that I failed to meet your expectations and lost the Moon Goddess Base. Please punish me."
"Well..." When Jehart knelt on one knee to report, Izelkanda had already stood up and walked in front of Jehart, holding a silver pistol in his hand and slowly pressing it against Jehart's head, "...I really should be punished. Why didn't you carry out the [Mouth of the Abyss] operation?"
"For myself, for my subordinates, and for the entire VEGAN." Jehart raised his head and let the cold touch transfer to his forehead. He was not afraid at all, and his tone was as calm as a calm lake.
"I'll give you a chance to explain." Izelkanda was interested in Jehart's answer, but he did not move the gun away, and his tone was still cold.
"Personally, I don't want to be called a butcher. There are many ways to win, but this is definitely not the way. For my subordinates, the battle situation has changed greatly. The federal army's trick succeeded, making the entire battlefield in chaos. If they insist on launching the [Mouth of the Abyss] operation, less than one-tenth of their compatriots will be able to return to the second moon safely. Finally, for VEGAN, once the [Mouth of the Abyss] operation is carried out, the hatred between the Federation and VEGAN will instantly soar to the top, and there will be no possibility of reconciliation in the future. This is a result that VEGAN absolutely cannot accept, so..."
"Why do we need to negotiate with them? Do you think VEGAN will lose?" Izelkanda interrupted and asked.
"No, VEGAN still has hope of victory."
"Then why do we need to leave room for reconciliation with the Federation? Stimulating hatred between the two sides and stimulating the blood of the warriors is what VEGAN needs!"
"Even if it means using the lives of our compatriots?"
"That's right! Even if it means using the lives of our compatriots! Gerhardt, take a good look at VEGAN now. Although the whole nation is indignant, how many people can only shout slogans and continue to stay at home to eat and wait for death, waiting for others to fight for their better future? How many people went to the battlefield with a passion, but lost their lives without being able to do anything?"
"Lord Izelkanda! You..."
"And the earthlings are corrupt, stupid, and shameless. They only know how to ask for things without knowing how to give back. They Why? Just because they were born on Earth? Just because they were not chosen back then? Why would the beautiful Eden be occupied by such a group of people?
The Eden of my dreams, without war, disease, chaos and fighting, is an ideal place where only selected excellent populations are qualified to live! It will be the most perfect paradise in this universe! "
"Lord Izelkanda..."
"So what's wrong with those mediocre people giving up their only value for the perfect utopia? Their sacrifice is for a better future! They should feel honored for it!"
"No, Lord Izelkanda! You are wrong!"
When Izelkanda was crazy, Gerhart quickly snatched the gun from Izelkanda's hand and roared at him.
"What did you say!?"
"Lord Izelkanda, VEGAN is also part of the human race. We are the same race as the people on Earth. We are all living humans, not gods sitting high in the sky."
"You! Are you going to betray me? Gerhardt!?"
"No, Lord Izelkanda, I have never betrayed, because the object of my loyalty has never been a certain person, but VEGAN, all my compatriots. For the bright future of my compatriots, I have fought so hard until now, and I will continue to persevere in the future." Gerhardt said in a sonorous voice.
"Gerhardt..."
Izelkanda found that he didn't recognize Gerhardt now. The child he had watched grow up with his own eyes had surpassed him now, and his momentum alone could force him to retreat.
"Lord Izelkanda, the Earthlings cannot be completely wiped out, at least VEGAN cannot. Now that the technological level has been leveled, VEGAN, which is short of population and resources, is already at a disadvantage. We can only win the decisive battle with the Federation now, negotiate with the Federation as a victor, and strive for the best future for VEGAN." Gerhardt spoke out his thoughts in one breath, hoping to get Izelkanda's understanding.
"VEGAN does not need to negotiate with the Federation. We have a small part of EXA-DB. As long as we get it all, then..."
"It's impossible, Lord Izelkanda. The intelligence sent back by the spies is that the Federation... No, Mr. Yang Hui has obtained EXA-DB and destroyed it..."
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! There are guardians around EXA-DB, even they can't..."
"This is a confirmed fact! Lord Izelkanda! Wake up!"
Under Gerhardt's stern shout, the gradually crazy Izelkanda slowly cooled down, and the whole person suddenly aged ten years and became decadent.
"How is it possible... How is it possible... Why..."
"Lord Izelkanda..."
"Jerhat... You will help me, right? You will support me, right? Just like before..." Izelkanda grabbed Jehart's arms and begged. This was his last pillar, supporting his belief for many years.
"I'm sorry, Lord Izelkanda, I can't agree with your ideas. For VEGAN and all my compatriots, I will use my own way to realize the [Eden Project]." Jehart shook his head and replied regretfully.
"You... Poof~!"
Jerhat's answer was like a heavy hammer, completely breaking the last support in Izelkanda's heart.
