"Earl Onegin is missing?" When Marshal Bruce received the report, his entire face was blank. The captain of the personal guard continued with the idea of ​​early death and early rebirth: "Including the prisoners in the cell opposite Earl Onegin, He is also missing." He almost didn't dare to look at Bruce's face that turned livid in an instant, none of them knew who the prisoner was, and all the meals were delivered by robots, and only the Marshal himself had seen him.

He stammered and continued to report: "There was nothing unusual during the monitoring night. No fingerprints or other abnormalities were found in the entire basement, and there were no signs of damage. Only the electronic shackles on the mortal collars were removed and put in place." Because of this, they judged that something went wrong. At the door that looked completely normal, and there was no abnormal monitoring at all, they didn’t find out that the monitoring seemed wrong until the robot came out with the untouched food at noon. I hurried in to check and found that the person had disappeared.

Marshal Bruce suddenly stood up. He had no time to scold his subordinates for being useless. Instead, he walked back and forth quickly, and found that it was too late to search and arrest under the martial law. Is Second Lieutenant Xia Ke still in prison? Check to see if Dr. Gunn is still there, if he is there, bring him to see me immediately, and if he is unwilling, he can take coercive measures."

The personal guards left in response, and soon reported back: "Major General Xia Ke is still in custody, and two bailiffs were specially sent in to check and confirm, but Dr. Gunn's family is no longer in the room, and he asked his colleagues in the research institute. Say you haven't seen them this morning."

Marshal Bruce has calmed down. He has accepted the worst situation and continued to deploy: "The First Legion is requested to put martial law in the near future. In addition, call Lieutenant General Ruth and Major General Willie to come over to my place."

"Earl Onegin and Master Gerry have escaped?" Willie's face was full of astonishment.

Marshal Bruce said: "Yes, it's fine for Earl Onegin. The new energy source can't be found at all, and we can't do anything when we go back. After all, Okata is still in our hands, but it is troublesome for Master Gerry to leave. We must do it well. For the prevention and control of public opinion, the news was released immediately, saying that Master Ge Li took the alliance's secret research materials and his family defected to the empire, and then all the star network news platforms required news control, and found a few former students of Master Ge Li to come out. Talk about his previous scandals, falsified papers, misnamed mechs and so on."

Willie said, "Okay."

Lieutenant General Ruth asked, "I think Count Onegin, who has left, has to be guarded. He is full of hatred."

Marshal Bruce thought for a while: "Fortunately, fortunately, the Second Army is now in the hands of the Third Army. How is the Third Army now?"

Willie said: "As soon as the Frostcrow reported to the Second Army, I heard that Sharco's personal guard captain was first arrested and imprisoned, and then I heard that the case of Brigadier General Brett's sudden radiation sickness was thoroughly investigated, and now the second Everyone in the Legion dares not speak out, but I heard that Frost Crow is moody and has a strong hand, but no one has disobeyed him in front of him, and now the entire Second Legion is pretty safe."

Bruce said: "Let Frostcrow take the other two Brigadier Generals of the Second Army into custody, and say that they found the evidence that they murdered Brigadier General Brett! The entire Second Army will be under review recently, and they are not allowed to leave the station without authorization. Violators will be dealt with according to military orders. "

The three of them were thinking together when suddenly Prince Ke Ye from the coalition command came to visit. Bruce was stunned and ordered someone to invite him in.

Prince Ke Ye came in with a calm face on his face: "I just wanted to tell the Marshal that Ke Feng resold gold, tin, energy and arms, and embezzled military funds. The evidence is convincing. He has been suspended from his post and is being held pending trial. His duties in the coalition forces are also suspended, and I have arranged for others to take over the legion he is in charge of, which will not affect the daily tasks of the coalition forces for the time being."

Bruce's heart skipped a beat, and Ke Ye had a half-smile: "He has embezzled tens of billions at a loss for ten years, and he can't tell the truth. His Majesty the Emperor is furious, and he has ordered a thorough investigation."

Ke Ye sat with a golden knife on his horse: "I heard that the alliance has a lot of things recently, and the trivial matters of the empire don't bother the marshal. It's just that some departments of the coalition army may need to cooperate in the recent audit. Please forgive me."

Bruce forced a smile and said, "Try to cooperate."

Ke Ye smiled: "Recently, the Zerg race has become much more peaceful. His Majesty the Emperor was considering abolishing part of his troops. Last time, he went against his habit and attacked the Principality of Hawke in a large-scale inexplicably. His father was hesitant, fearing that he would suddenly attack the Empire again. Territory, I don’t know if the biological experts have put forward any theory? Is there any law in the attack of the Zerg?”

Bruce said: "Biologists are still working on it."

But Ke Ye said: "The Zerg race has no rules, but if it continues to fight for such a long time, the national power of the empire will not be able to support it. Now that there is such a big deficit, it makes our emperor displeased. Our emperor's opinion is that the coalition forces The inner empire is withdrawing, and the location of Liro Port is connected to the Empire and the Alliance. Whether the Empire will send a legion to Liro Port, and I will lead it to facilitate the scheduling of the Zerg confrontation, and the rest of the legions will withdraw and return home.”

Bruce was furious in his heart, but his face was still calm: "The coalition has been there for ten years, and it has provided a lot of support to the alliance and the empire. Now the Zerg may just be temporarily dormant, and it is too early to talk about withdrawing the army. Port Liro is now the first The garrison of the first legion is also the territory of the alliance, and the garrison of the empire is not suitable, and the parliament will not agree."

Ke Ye chuckled: "Let's discuss it again. It's just that Ke Feng is short of military funds. Before we find out, our country's coalition military expenditure and energy expenditure this year will be suspended. This is also the meaning of His Majesty the Emperor."

Bruce's face changed: "Is the Golden Kite Empire going to cross the river and demolish the bridge? The lack of military funds is a matter of your empire. What does it have to do with the military expenditure of the coalition forces?"

Ke Ye said: "What our Majesty means is that during this period of time, the emperor is responsible for the Zerg attacks in the empire area. After all, the alliance has traveled a long distance to help, and it is too late to discuss the alliance's next plan after the settlement is clear. Of course, If Port Liro allows the Empire to garrison troops, then it can be considered. Military expenses can also be discussed."

Bruce said angrily: "Your country is also a bit of a big country, right? Why do you bargain like a businessman? This is a matter for all mankind! You are better off, crossing rivers and tearing down bridges, taking the opportunity to ask for cheap, it's like a rogue!"

Ke Ye chuckled: "Your Excellency, Marshal, could it be that he has a bad memory and has forgotten what kind of temper our emperor is? He was born in the army, and who can deceive him about military tricks? Ke Feng was young, so it was naive to think that he could hide it from him with that little means. I followed him for decades, and many generals in your country were defeated by me. Your Excellency, you should think about it carefully. What can you do after finding out? To be honest, with Ke Feng’s IQ, you haven’t been discovered by his father for so many years, don’t you think it’s too smooth? Hehe, the advantage of the empire is so easy to take advantage of What? Father, the best thing is to give others some sweetness first, and then get back double. If the marshal trusted me more, I might have given the marshal more thoughtful advice." He smiled meaningfully, got up and left .

Bruce was furious: "After fighting for so many years, how much benefit the empire has taken from the coalition forces, is this going to tear down the fire! They think that the Zerg has been wiped out, so they can tear down the bridge, right?" Earl Onegin and Master Gerry Escaping already made him extremely annoyed, and the empire's cross-river check bridge raised prices, which made him even more furious and deeply exhausted: "Let the Zerg attack the Empire on a large scale!"

Willie said: "Last time, the Principality of Hawke and Star Valley Fortress used up a lot, and we have to wait for the next cycle, which will take at least three months."

Marshal Bruce said solemnly: "Get ready, I want them to have a taste."

Willie was slightly embarrassed: "However, the base has just sent a report. This time the consumption is too high and new funds are needed. If Prince Ke Feng's side is cut off~ the empire will not pay military expenses. Also, Onegin The family has turned their faces, and we can no longer count on continued funding, and we are about to run out of money."

Bruce sat down and frowned: "Originally, if everything went well, we have now successfully obtained new energy sources and mastered the military power of the entire alliance. Funding will not be a problem. Destroy that base and destroy all evidence."

In the end, how did you come to be so at a loss and in a dilemma?

All because the Star Valley Fortress was not successfully captured by the Zerg.
