Chapter 390 Meeting Great President
"Ding, a random mission is triggered."
"Make sure Sheryl. Norm and Lanka. Lee are safe and do not fall into the hands of Earth Unified Army Headquarters; protect 25th Fleet and resist Earth Unified Army Headquarters's attack; protect Queen Vajra from the Earth Unified Army's control; destroy Earth Unified Army's conspiracy against 25th Fleet, Vajra."
"The mission was successful and an unknown reward was obtained. Merit Points was awarded as a reward of 80,000 points, and Follower Slot was designated as one."
"If the mission fails, all Merit Points will be deducted, and the relationship with Sheryl's followers will be cut off. Earth Unified Army and Vajra will jointly pursue him for three months. After three months, the mission will end and he will return to Prometheus."
"Huh..." Xiao Ran breathed out softly and rubbed his aching head. The random missions were indeed what he thought. Different missions would be triggered according to different areas. However, the random missions he received now were quite a headache. This was simply the rhythm of the Earth Unified Army.
If Earth Unified Army wants to control Bug Empress and gain the power of bugs, what cannot be avoided is 25th Fleet, who has begun to live with bugs. Now, many people among 25th Fleet have passed the assessment, been infected with bug viruses and been cured, and have basically gained some ability to communicate with bugs, and more and more people have joined this ranks.
These people who have been infected and cured of the virus have all 'adopted' a juvenile bug of their own as a partner. Under the fetters caused by the V bacteria that coexist in the body, these people who have been cured of the V bacteria infection will never give up on their partners, just like the bugs will never give up on them.
Even the citizens who are not infected with V bacteria have developed a recognition of bugs after the previous accidents and are waiting for the government's arrangements for V bacteria infection. What's more, 25th Fleet is basically under the protection of bugs and does not have to continue wandering in the unknown universe. This is a hard-earned happiness and security for the entire 25th Fleet.
Among the ship owners, Lanka and Sheryl's power cannot be ignored the most, and only they can directly affect Bug Empress's actions. Among the two, Lanka has a deeper connection with the insect, and can even use GALAXY Fleet's information to control the mother queen of the insect, so Earth Unified Army is bound to win over the two of them.
But if Earth Unified Army wants to achieve its goal, it must drive away 25th Fleet, depriving the entire crew of happiness, depriving them of their sense of security, and even depriving them of their relatives and friends who have been infected with V bacteria and adopted bugs. These things are in this universe For a fleet that has been drifting for who knows how many years and has basically no sense of recognition of the earth, it is simply an absolute hatred. Therefore, when the order of the Earth Unified Army was passed to the fleet, the entire fleet was obviously on alert.
No matter where you look at it, Xiao Ran's mission is a full-scale war with Earth Force. Although the mission does not limit the way to complete the mission, even if Xiao Ran drops a MDE Bomb towards the earth, as long as the mission can be completed, it will count. Although this approach is not advisable and unlikely, it is at least an option.
According to the standard, the tasks given by Prometheus can be completed in different ways, but the current task does not give Xiao Ran more choices at all, because Sheryl It is impossible to hand over Xiao Ran, and if the mission fails, Sheryl will also be lost. This means that even if Xiao Ran is a little evil and willing to hand over Lanka to the Earth Unified Army, it will be in vain.
When Xiao Ran felt a headache, Sheryl was leaning on his hips with a nonchalant look on his face. In the Second Archangel bridge, Basak suddenly frowned., Graham, Naluo, Mwu's hearts sank, and their faces showed a trace of solemnity, especially Graham and Naluo, who looked at each other and saw a determination that could never fail when they looked at each other's eyes.
He tightened the turban on his head, patted the Little Eight lying next to him and stood up. "Little Eight, I will leave the operation of the battleship to you for the time being. I am going to start work."
Cruze's face no longer had that indifferent and mysterious smile, and he looked expressionlessly through the transparent glass of the bridge, looking at the huge spaceship in the distance that was sitting on the water or the sea, and it was also a huge city.
The small plane Xiao Ran was riding in landed directly on the lawn in front of the Presidential Palace's gate. As soon as Xiao Ran stepped off the plane, the plane behind him took off again under Sheryl's 'order': "Moses, take me to S. M. S."
Watching the plane take off again and leave, Xiao Ran also looked at the Presidential Palace, who was right in front of him, and felt in his heart that if the target he had chosen before was the earth, he would not be able to deal with it. The ship group had such an idea, but this idea only came up as a thought, and was suppressed by Xiao Ran. He nodded to the steward who came to greet him, and followed the steward into the Presidential Palace.
President Glass still looks the same. I don't know if it's because of his previous heart-warming and fat body, so his figure is a little fatter, but maybe it's because of the Earth Unified Army's order that his expression is a little bad.
After seeing Xiao Ran enter the study, Glass stood up from his chair very happily, walked around the table to Xiao Ran, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Where have you been during this time? You didn't even tell us when you left. Sit down quickly, butler, serve tea."
The housekeeper nodded and bowed out. Xiao Ran was pulled by Glass and sat on the sofa in the study. He said, "Excuse me for worrying. During this period, I took Sheryl on an adventure to the border planet and made a few friends. As soon as I came back, I realized something was wrong."
"Hey." President Glass sighed deeply and said with a tone of helplessness and a hint of hatred, "You have been away for almost a year. At the beginning, everything was fine. The lives of humans and insects began to merge, and everything developed according to the plan you made before."
"But just over a month ago, the Queen fell into a deep sleep, and most of the bugs left here, leaving only a few to protect us and the larvae. I learned from Lanka that the bugs went to far away places to reproduce with bugs in other galaxies, and the Queen's consciousness also left with them."
"This news was originally top secret, but someone dug it out for some reason. Earth Unified Army, who had been spying on the power of bugs, immediately issued an order to us after knowing the news, asking us to hand over Lanka and Sheryl, hand over all those infected with V bacteria, hand over the military power to defend Unified Army and continue sailing, how can we agree to such a thing, so the current situation between us and Earth Unified Army is very tense."
"If the bugs were still there, how dare the earth do this to us? Damn it!"
Having said this, President Glass also glanced at Xiao Ran and said, "And you, because you took Sheryl away and did not return to Earth after the mission was completed, you were officially wanted by the Earth Unified Army in the name of defecting. It's really not the right time for you to come back."
"Am I wanted by the Earth? The Queen of Insects fell into a deep sleep?" Xiao Ran felt his eyebrows twitching, and smiled bitterly, "This is really adding insult to injury. So what does S. M. S., other fleets, and even the border fleet have to say about this order from Earth Force?"
President Glass shook his head and said with a wry smile, "There are some border fleets and forces from some border planets who are willing to support us and have officially made their voices heard. S. M. S is also willing to provide us with some support in secret. Because of this, although Earth Force has issued an order, so far it has not taken any action against us due to the tense and confrontational situation and fear of causing more disputes."
"In fact, many fleets are currently maintaining a neutral attitude towards this, because the power of insects really scares Earth Force and these fleets. The earth wants to get this power, but there are also forces that are unwilling to let the earth get this power. These fleets are more considering who gets this power without posing a threat to them and bringing them more benefits without expressing any opinions."
"In other words, at least some of these ship groups that have not yet spoken out can be won over by us." Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief. Prometheus will not issue missions that cannot be completed. If 25th Fleet alone has basically no chance of victory against the Earth. Even with the protection of some insects that are still on this planet, 25th Fleet does not have that many resources and population to consume in the war with the Earth.
As long as the people of 25th Fleet are almost dead, then the earth will also achieve its goal, and the mission of Xiao Ran will still fail.
The support of the border fleet and border planets, the support of S. M. S, and those fleets that have not expressed any opinions for the time being will become the key help for Xiao Ran to complete this mission, which will provide an extra guarantee for the successful completion of the mission.
Fortunately, Earth Unified Army has not made any moves yet, so Xiao Ran still has some time to prepare.
President Glass nodded and said, "Yes, I have also sent people to contact those Autonomous Fleet. I believe it will not take long to get a reply, but I guess there may not be too many ships that are willing to support us."
"But if we can contact Seventh Fleet and get their support, maybe this matter will be settled."
"Seventh Fleet?" Xiao Ran frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Are you talking about the fleet that experienced the war with Primal Demon?"
