Although the troublesome little leader really wanted to play it cool, children couldn't keep things to themselves. Besides, she had wanted to show off in the first place, so it didn't take long for her to explain, amid everyone's astonished expressions, exactly why she had appeared there and happened to rescue them.
As it turned out, the reason so many Terran fighters were patrolling the area, and Gao Lanlan and the others had been tailed, surrounded, and relentlessly harassed by those crazed fighters, who seemed determined not to stop until they shot them down, was all thanks to their leader?
That's right. It had all started with her!
Not long ago, shortly after the escort team and Gao Lanlan had set out, Annie had taken a Viking to raid the camp of Taric Torgaddon, the Shadowmoon Wolves' Second Company commander. She had even nearly blown him up. Then, displaying great bravery, she'd flown her Viking into the enemy camp, transformed into its humanoid form, and caused enormous chaos. She'd also taken the opportunity to free many prisoners before calmly flying away amid endless explosions, confusion, and flames, successfully drawing enemy fighters after her all the way to the area nearby.
Unfortunately, Gao Lanlan, who had been flying fast and cautiously around the enemy-occupied zone, had ended up here. She'd flown right into the enemy interception zone and encirclement, where they'd mistaken her for the culprit and relentlessly pursued her, nearly making her the scapegoat.
Of course, all that was beside the point. It didn't matter anymore, because the enemy fighters had already been beaten so badly by the all-powerful Leader Annie that they'd fled in terror.
So Gao Lanlan, piloting the Medivac and flying close alongside the Viking, was naturally left speechless for a long while after hearing the story.
