Chapter 217: Peering Together (Part 2)
All foreign guests at the Duke of Tesla were paying attention to the vehicle that came to pick up Count Hannibal early in the morning. No one was able to see another moving figure in the concierge car. Thinking that Princess Sipon, who was unlikely to even have a glimpse of a shocking glance, would later live with the Gentile youth, which was enough to make many of the first-line nobles in Xipon aroused jealousy.
The vehicle brought Lin Hai to the third base of the Special Administrative Region, where a visiting ship was already ready. Lin Hai boarded the boat and came to the luxurious and spacious cabin inside. Joses, who was fascinated by all the young nobles of Xipang, wore a decent black silk dress. His plump chest was embroidered with plasters near the collar, making it look even more noble. In the fragrance of the black tea in front of the table, she looked out the window with a beautiful outline. It was not until he entered Joses that he turned around and looked at him and said, "We will go to the Patton-1 satellite city to comfort the widows of the fallen soldiers. I don't want the people of Xipang to think that their emperor will only call on the soldiers to charge forward, and the families of the soldiers who sacrificed their country for their worries."
The spacecraft accelerates in orbit, and the entire process is only slight jerks and a slight sense of acceleration. At the same time, it will also create artificial gravity when passing through the atmosphere. The "Della" of this most advanced starship in Xipang can provide the most comfortable riding experience.
"But when you go with the princess to visit your widow, shouldn't it be someone who has a very close relationship with the royal family to accompany you? How would the outside world view His Royal Highness the Princess?" Lin Hai stared at her beautiful eyes and watched the clouds and mist moving outside the window.
Jose smiled embarrassedly, shocking the officers in the cabin, "Don't you want to have a closer relationship with me? Earl of Hannibal?"
Lin Hai smiled bitterly, "Your Highness Princess, don't joke. If you catch a lot of famous and famous people in Xipang, how could it be my turn? The princess has good intentions, and she should hope that Pandora behind me will do something."
Joses reached out and stroked his ears and smiled, "The strength of the Count's mecha is rare for me. The few war god-level pilots in Xipang are also very grateful. How many pilots can Pandora come up with behind him with the strength of the Count? Or how many inferior pilots are there? We can customize equipment for you. Believe in my promise. Pandora's efforts will definitely welcome the richest thanks and strongest friendships of the people of Xipang."
"I thought Princess Jose was not an active war promoter. Do you have any intention of letting us stab the empty part of the Eagle Kingdom?"
Joses shook his head, "No, of course I am not going to continue to expand the scale of the war, but there is indeed some trouble at present. The Eagle people are about to counterattack and the war is about to begin. Xipang retreated from the Sanyan Star Domain, which has already shaken some morale. Susa is trapped in the local battlefield of Granmei. Although we are not afraid of the Eagle people, if we have strong allies, at least we can reduce the trouble to the most inconspicuous level."
"Since the princess believes that the Sipang people will not be defeated, why do we need our joining? The Pandora people have no tradition of fighting in foreign countries. We are not mercenaries."
"But you have been struggling for your own interests, and this is closely related to your interests. Besides, I am not in a hurry to wait for you to express your opinion. You can have the will and time to consider it." She turned her head slightly and said softly, "I can wait."
The starship entered space, and the magnificent scene was outside the landing window. Joses got up and poured fragrant tea in the teacup, and brought it to Lin Hai. Lin Hai took it with both hands and accidentally touched her slender fingers as cold as water.
There was a dazzling ring on the index finger, which was extremely beautiful. Joses did not pull away his hand immediately, but waited until Lin Hai took the cup firmly before retracting it. This episode caused a brief silence between the two. Until the spacecraft arrived at the satellite city, Lin Hai's fingers seemed to feel the touch of silk satin.
After getting off the spaceship and entering the concierge car, the armed rotorcraft in the sky and the convoy arranged in a ****** shape drove the way, guarding their vehicles along the satellite city to the predetermined place of condolences. Along the way, you can see the crowds watching on both sides of the satellite city road, mostly women and children, watching the passing of the convoy, the atmosphere is not warm.
"Most of the people living in Patton-1 satellite city are soldiers and their families, with about 200,000 people. Those soldiers are distributed among dozens of elite divisions. After the war was postponed in the next three, most of them failed to come back, so Patton-1 became the target of focus."
Looking at the children and women along the way who had no father and husband, Josés looked sad.
Lin Hai looked at it and said lightly, "If Emperor Hemoding had not sounded the horn of invasion first, this scene would not have happened."
Joses turned his head and looked over, and was surprised at him boldly, saying, "Does the Count know that these words are very cruel? In the dry season, the species will fight for the only source of water, not for their own interests, but for the continuation of the population, and those who contribute to the country are always worthy of admiration."
However, at this time, there was no spaceship cabin followed by officials. The cabin in front of the two people in the rear seat of the vehicle could perfectly isolate the driver and guards from hearing the conversation behind.
"Those who fail to invade a country are called invaders, and those who successfully invade a civilization and make this civilization surrender are called conquerors." Joses raised his head, "I don't think I'm going to say that you also know how many conquerors there have been in the human world that have been highly praised from ancient times to the present. Therefore, this is just the difference between success and failure, and there is no distinction between good and evil, good and evil."
Lin Haidao, "Maybe the reason is reasonable... War seems to be a game for mastering the game between super power giants, but there is still one truth I agree with, that is, when a person's home is trampled on and his wife and children are about to fall under the invader's bayonet, the opponent's swords and guns will be broken and the enemy will be wiped out. This is the minimum justice."
Joses stared at Lin Hai with an unnatural expression, "I hope Pandora will never encounter an unfortunate war."
The car arrived at the destination, a small town, located on the edge of the satellite city, which was also the widow gathering area with the most dead soldiers in the war. Because of the princess's arrival, local officials had already organized a group of family representatives to welcome the princess on the street.
The reporters who had been waiting for a long time raised their cameras with flashes. The princess got out of the car, and Hannibal, who was in the same car as her, also became the focus.
"Your Highness Princess! Your arrival will surely give great comfort to the families of the loyal soldiers of the Empire!" A handsome and handsome young officer helped open the car door and salute Joses. This young noble officer named Perth was the guard officer of this event. In front of the Princess's Hall, he showed his standard and decent language and etiquette to the greatest extent, but he did not look at Lin Hai throughout the whole process.
However, when Joses stretched out his hand and Lin Hai naturally raised his arm to let her hold it, the Perth guard's eyes were slightly complicated.
Lin Hai accompanied Josés to present flowers to the widows of the martyrs. In order to reflect the preferential treatment for these families, Josés also distributed pensions for the widows on behalf of the royal family.
"I really hope to help them." This is what Joses said sincerely to Lin Hai before coming. This is also the meaning of her intention to carry out this activity.
The pension prepared by the Logistics Department is stacked with new banknotes and Xibei coins. All widows who line up along the street can get one. The officials chose this because the number of people in this town is not too large, and it is convenient for control and can achieve the purpose of publicity and the shooting effect.
However, when the seventh widow came to Joses and took the stack of banknotes handed over by Joses, she did not say thankful words like the one in front of her, but instead thought about the banknotes with a teasing look on her face and raised her other hand. Only then did people notice that her hand was carrying a cloth bag.
"Your Highness, thank you very much for your care. I have three children, but you know, just the soaring prices in Patton One satellite city now, how much does it cost to buy food for me and my children only for a week?" She raised the cloth bag in her left hand, "That's all! It's twice as much as you give! In a while, what else can you buy for this money? Ten breads or one bread? How did I support my three children at that time? My man died, and what we want now is not giving, we want to return to the life we used to be, now... can't do it anymore! It's your father doing all this!"
The widow spitted at Joses fiercely, and Joses's beautiful lavender hair was immediately stained with filth.
The guard quickly stepped forward, and the widow's face was blooming with a gun and fainted on the ground.
The sudden riot was like some kind of signal, and the air was suddenly filled with thick gunpowder. The buzzing of some kind of mechanical and the blast of fire broke out out of thin air. The guard rotorcraft hovering in the sky was suddenly bombarded by dozens of rockets, turning into two violent fire parachutes.
The woods near the town were crushed, the soil layer was broken up, and the walls of the houses that matched the materials exploded, revealing the steel figure of the mecha.
The guards immediately stepped forward to guard the war. In a short time, eight guards behind the convoy operated the dominant mechas, four of which had heavy shields blocked Josés and the guards, deflecting many shells that were smashing on them immediately afterwards.
The other four armed their rifles and fired at the mechas that were raiding.
Among these widows of martyrs, several women lifted their cloaks, exposed the submachine guns hidden in the cloak, and fired at the guards.
Lin Hai grabbed Joses' arm and dragged her towards him. Joses hit him into his arms. Lin Hai reached out to take her waist, held her whole body, and retreated quickly.
Their location whizzed through several lights, and they were shot in the chest of a guard in front of them, and their backs exploded. The hot and bloody meat foam splashed everywhere, sprinkling Lin Hai and Josez's face.
Several guards fell one after another, and pulsed energy light bombs exploded into big bloody holes on their bodies. Even Perth, who had opened the door for Joseth, had been shot through his head and penetrated his right eye. The guards caught off guard and were attacked repeatedly. The guards in the defense vehicle in the rear pointed heavy machine guns at the gunmen mixed with ordinary people.
Heavy machine guns that can strike mechas roar and shoot continuously. Wherever the ballistic passes, human limbs and blood explode on the ground.
A grenade was shot, and a domineering grenade lifted its shield to block it, but in the future, the grenade was very anxious and flew into the guard group behind. The guard standing in the first ring of the explosion was thrown up. The air current rushed over. Lin Hai hugged Joses's shoulder and pressed her body against each other, with his back against the impact of the mixture of soil and air currents. Both of them were thrown out and rolled out on the ground.
Although there was a soft woman in her arms, the two of them were constantly colliding and squeezing during the violent tumbling, and the whole body was painful everywhere. Even Lin Hai's strong body was also tinnitus and dizzy at this time. Looking at Joses under her body, Princess Cipon had a very healthy body covered by her skirt, and there were no major injuries. However, at this time, the clothes were torn apart in many places, and most of the beautiful skin inside was covered with colorful blood marks and bruises.
Joses subconsciously raised his arm to cover the pain of the collision with Lin Hai's body, got up, and her eyes trembled as she saw the guards attacking the town unscrupulously. Behind them, the guards, composed of forty domineering and fifteen armed rotorcraft on the ground, and twenty domineering heavy transport agencies, were approaching rapidly.
The domineering mecha opened fire at the attacking mecha indiscriminately. Joses saw someone in the building where the attacker's mecha was hiding in horror, or simply jumped down dozens of floors. The shells fired from both sides collapsed the building in a short time. The two- or three-story cottages on the ground were lifted up by the roofs, and there were civilians running for life everywhere, but in front of the guards that could no longer distinguish the attacker, anyone wearing civilian costumes became the target of killing.
Those women who waved to her before, old men with children, widows holding her hands and saying thank you, and many children, all of whom were transformed into corpses within their sight.
The arrival of the guards launched a terrible counterattack.
The attackers' mechas and firepower were unable to compete with the guards of the domineering mechas. Their energy level and power were far inferior, and soon all the attackers were injured and killed. The domineering mechas, which were distributed in front of them at first, still held the shields, and there was no loss at all. Only a few guards were killed.
"No!" Joses walked forward and screamed.
The current guards have begun to massacre this town.
Cao Qiudao, who came straight, pulled her arm and pushed it back in front of Lin Hai.
The royal chief guard was obviously extremely angry at the rebellion that happened under his nose. He stepped forward, and the guards behind him and the two mechas immediately separated Lin Hai and Josés.
Cao Qiudao took off his black gloves, his expressionless eyes swayed the town in front of him, and said coldly, "Closing all nearby passes!"
"Cao Qiudao, there are still civilians inside! Massacre of civilians is not allowed!" Joses's voice almost croaked.
"Civilians? They dare to attack you when His Highness the Princess expresses condolences. This is treason in itself! How many people know the inside story, but my Inspectorate Office has not received a warning..." Cao Qiu smiled, "This is what they deserve to be damned enough!"
He faced the ragged town residents who had been found from the ruins.
The voice was as cold as a judgment from heaven.
"One...no stay!"
The domineering mecha rifles that have been arranged in a circle have spewed out fire one after another, and the town instantly enveloped the explosion of the light ball.
Joses slowly knelt down on the ground, looking at the scene with his eyes wide open. There was an old man who had received compensation and held her hand. She could feel the grief of their loss of their children fighting for the country, but she was also really excited about her arrival and loved her sincerely. She saw the grief of the warrior's widow, the woman who lost the man who grew up together and fell in love until she got married, put her photo in her front corset before leaving, and sweared to have a fat white child with him, making her sad as if she felt sad. She saw many innocent children staring at her curiously, full of admiration and reverence, just like the dreams they had heard from the protagonists in fairy tales countless times came to her. In this era, it was an extremely luxurious thing to see dreams.
However, these elderly, young, and small bodies fell into the ruins incomplete limbs. These turbid, painful, and extremely clear eyes were covered with dark blood.
Such a cruel display in front of her.
Her tears slid down from her face, but it seemed to come from a deep well that was invisible to the sun. No matter how much it surged, it could not relieve the stinging pain in her heart at this moment.
Lin Hai squatted down and patted her shoulder gently. Joses suddenly hugged him with his backhand. Her body trembled, and the heat spread to Lin Hai's body through her thin clothes. Her lavender hair covered half of his body, and her head was buried between his neck, sobbing out a misty heat.
"Save me."
"Please save me... OK..."
Lin Hai was slightly stunned, then stretched out his hands and hugged her.
As if feeling Lin Hai's hug, Joses's body shook slightly and his sobs became smooth.
