Chapter 1111 Cat and Mouse Game

"I won... I really won..."

"Four Azazel types...all destroyed...and...no damage found on the island!"

"So awesome! They are so awesome! No matter if it wasn't Valrhona, there was no [Siegfried] system, there was no SPD... they could still defeat Festum!"

"We can win! We can definitely win!"

The Valrhona troops stationed on Ryugu Island and Poseidon Island looked at the scene in front of them, and their eyes filled with tears, and their originally cold hearts began to warm up. The arrival of the alien Festum destroyed other human gathering points on the earth. I didn’t feel much at first, because Ryugu Island has always been independent from the world and has not had much contact with the outside world. Even if Festum attacked, it could only be repelled by the island’s Favna alone.

Until... they participated in the rescue operation in the Srinagar area, and for the first time they intuitively felt the powerlessness of mankind in front of the Festum army. They could only watch the despair of human civilization withering.

Of the human civilizations in the world, only Ryugu Island and Poseidon Island are still holding on and fighting hard. However, Festum's attack has never stopped for a long time. Festum is also growing, and the enemies that attack are getting stronger every time. , and the people on Longgong Island and Poseidon Island, who had been wasting their lives fighting, were also exhausted physically and mentally.

The more times they fly Valrhona, the longer the time, and the fiercer the battles, the closer they come to disappearing. For them, they are waiting to die, either at the hands of Festum or in the cockpit of Valrhona. , no matter how firm your will is, it will waver and be broken, especially when... the foreign Festum is boundless, no one knows how many there are, and no one knows how strong it is.

And now, they finally see hope, real hope that can be felt personally. For the first time, mankind has defeated Festum's army head-on. It is far superior to the army in common sense. Even the first [Sky War] and Si A large army that has never been seen in the rescue operations in the Linaga area.

Not only the pilots of Favna, but also the commanders in the command rooms of Ryugu Island and Poseidon Island, and countless ordinary people living on the islands, they all burst into tears when they saw the victory coming, and the sky was shrouded in dark clouds. , finally clearing the clouds and seeing the sun.

There was also Emily who was standing on the coast of Poseidon Island, and Orihime Makiro who was watching the whole battle from the lighthouse of Ryugu Island. As star cores, they, who had never had rich expressions, finally showed smiles.

"I said, they are hope." Minaki Orihime said to Mjolnir beside her.

"Yes, I'm sure, I've always been sure." Although Monnier was expressionless, she could hear determination in her tone.

"Now it's time for your fellow citizens to believe it too."

"Yes." Mjolnir nodded, because she had just received information from her fellow tribesmen. On their way to the Srinagar area, they encountered an attack from an alien Festum. Although the scale was not that large, it was still enough. Exterminate an entire ethnic group.

But at the critical moment, the Promes Legion arrived. After determining which Festum were friendly forces and which Festum were enemies, they immediately started fighting, helping her compatriots repel powerful enemies and preserve the survival of the race.

…

The four Azazel-types were eliminated, the Festum army retreated, and the people of Ryugu Island and Poseidon Island were cheering, but Yang Hui, Graham, Huang, Bucky Lulu, Wang Liumei, Fleet, Katie... the Prometh Army There was no happy expression on the faces of all the members, and they were even... very solemn.

"Retreating again?" Yang Hui frowned. He had encountered this once when he was in the universe. It was clear that the opponent still had such a huge force, and there were more than just four Azazel-types. They retreated in the middle of the fight. This is very strange. Weird.

The first time, if it was Festum's conspiracy to annihilate them once and for all after they got together, then now... Although not all members of the Promethean Legion are present, the high-level combat capabilities and high-level command team are here. Most of them were wiped out in one go, and the Promes Army was completely destroyed.

What? Are you saying Festum doesn’t know?

Putting aside the fact that the Festum clan is a highly intelligent race, Yang Hui’s [Dawn Gundam] and the only Macross-class battleship without a fleet organization, can’t you tell?

Even if the Festum clan couldn't tell because of their different civilizations, wouldn't the mastermind behind the alien Festum know?

"Didi didi..."

"Natal."

"Yang Hui, Fleet and Malu had an encounter on their way to the Srinagar area. The alien Festum clan attacked the local pro-human faction Festum. In the universe, Ray Bill and the others also encountered Festum's group when they were about to land on Earth. The attacks were huge in number, but none of the Diablo and Azazel types were encountered, and they have been successfully repelled," Baji Lulu reported to Yang Huihui.

"Order the space fleet to descend to the earth immediately and go to meet at their respective locations. The exploration mission is suspended and arrangements will be made after all members are reunited." Yang Hui ordered. He realized something was wrong, but also found that this was an opportunity. Festum had just retreated, and in a short time There shouldn't be an immediate attack within this time. That is, right now, all the fleets in the universe will land on Earth at the same time. There is no need to worry about being attacked by Festum in the process.

"learn."

"Well, I will return directly to Ryugu Island. After the fleet is lowered, all senior officials will immediately hold a video conference."

"Understood, the preparation team will set off immediately and go to Longgong Island to be on standby."

"Um."

After the communication was interrupted, Yang Hui drove [Dawn Gundam] back to Ryugu Island. Because the Gnaku of Ryugu Island did not support the parking of mobile suits such as [Dawn Gundam], it could only be parked in the uninhabited area of ​​​​the back island.

In the Back Island area, Miyagi Orihime, Myonir, Fumihiko Makabe and others were already waiting for Yang Hui.

"Thank you for your hard work, Your Excellency Yang Hui." After Yang Hui got off the plane, he was warmly welcomed by Fumihiko Makabe and others.

"It's your duty, Commander Makabe."

"We have made preparations to integrate into your chain of command. What instructions do you have?"

Fumihiko Makabe has already decided that as long as the Promes Legion can bring them hope, it doesn't matter whether he is the commander or not. Anyway, he was the one who became the commander in a hurry. Perhaps the expertise of the personnel in other departments They are all very strong, but he is not very competent as a commander. He was once at most a colonel commander, so it would be difficult for him to take charge of the entire island.

"For now, it's okay to carry out business as usual. We will make specific arrangements in the future, but don't worry, the personnel transfers in your various departments will not be too big. We will only send out a communication team and a support team, and will not completely intervene in your side. related matters.”

"This..." Fumihiko Makabe was a little surprised and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Yang Hui.

"Commander Makabe, please take us to the central command room of Ryugu Island."

"Okay, please follow me."

"By the way, Miyagi Orihime, Myolnir, and Commander Makabe, please participate in the following meeting as representatives."

"……I see."

"no problem."

Monnier did not answer, but just nodded in agreement. Under the leadership of Fumihiko Makabe, Yang Hui came to the central command room of Ryugu Island with him, Miyagi Orihime and Monnier.

"I've told Emily, you can go online at any time." Before Yang Hui could speak, Miyagi Orihime said to Yang Hui.

"Thank you." Yang Hui did not show any surprise at Miyagi Orihime's behavior. After all, it was basic for the star core to be able to read human hearts.

Soon, Yang Hui plugged a data device into the socket of the central command room. VEDA intervened in the central command room. Emily and Jonathan Mitsuhiro Bartlan from Poseidon Island were already online, and the people from the Promethean Legion came soon after. After going online one after another, the home screen is divided into many blocks.

"Yang Hui, this attack is not normal." After the communication was connected, Ray Bill, who had just landed on the earth, said directly.

"It's okay on our side. It's an encounter, but the other side's retreat is too strange." Fleet Report reported.

"I have calculated the time point. After you kill the Azazel type, the time for the three forces to retreat is exactly the same." Xia Yahui reported.

"Azazel type...at the same time...could it be that...these four Azazel types were Festum's commanders? After the commander was killed, they chose to retreat?" Tianmu analyzed.

"It's possible, but it's only possible." Gerhardt believed that Tiam's analysis was reasonable. According to the intelligence they had, the superior-subordinate affiliation of the Festum clan was absolute. Ordinary Festum would definitely obey the command of the superior Festum. Above the regular Festum is the Diablo type, and above the Diablo type is the Azazel type.

The Azazel type is the currently known senior leader of the Festum group, after all, there is a core within their bodies.

There are also two special cases: the dominant type and the core type.

The dominant type can command the superior Festum of other Festum and has independent thinking, such as Mjolnir.

Although Mjolnir has independent thinking, it does not mean that other Festum will definitely listen to her. Those who agree with her will listen, and those who do not will regard her as a life and death enemy.

The core type is more special. It is an independent individual that is a fusion of humans and Festum. They have a self but are independent of the Festum group. Their ability to command the Festum group is the same as the dominant type.

In other words... the core type can't be said to be commanding the Festum group, but communicating and communicating.

Therefore, Tianmu's judgment is not completely wrong. After all, the Azazel type is already the highest level of Festum known so far. The highest brain has been killed, and retreat is normal.

But... they all felt that it was not that simple, especially the existence of the mastermind behind the scenes, whose level must be higher than that of the Azazel type.

Yang Hui, who had been listening to everyone's discussion and thinking about it himself, even used [Zero Time Calculus]. Suddenly, he calculated a result that shocked and angered him.

"Yang Hui, what did you think of?" During the discussion, Huang keenly observed the changes in Yang Hui's expression and asked immediately.

"Do you think... is there a possibility... that this is just a game?"

"game?"

"Yes, a game, a game of cat and mouse."
