"What, you're not interested?" Russen twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "If I remember correctly, General Catherine has been reading a lot of Earth's battle reports during this period of time, right?"
Catherine raised her eyebrows. "Are you spying on me?"
"Surveillance?" Russen smiled. "I'm just concerned about my general."
"Thank you for your concern, General, but I don't think I'm important enough for you to pay attention to me all the time.
”
"That can't be said. No matter who it is, as long as he has advanced to Level 30, he is worthy of my attention.
”
Catherine's eyes were calm, and her gaze was like the Nether River flowing quietly. However, her gaze towards Russen gradually deepened.
"Alright, don't look at me like that. You have to know that the Blood Gate Stronghold is very small. There aren't many things that can be hidden from me, let alone advancement. If I'm not mistaken, General Catherine came into contact with Void Origin Energy when she advanced, right? "
Catherine asked, "General Russen would like to know what Origin Energy I have?
”
"No, I don't need to know. All I need to know is that you already have the combat strength of a general. It just so happens that you will be in charge of this operation, General Catherine. "
"Then you?
”
Russen pointed out of the window of the command building, "I have to stay. If I leave too, who can suppress those planet natives?"
"Then General Russen means that I should take on the responsibility of the main general?"
"What, you don't have confidence?"
"Of course not." Catherine's lips curled up into a smile. "But aren't you afraid that I'll steal the news of death away?"
Russen said, "If you have the ability, just do it."
Catherine smiled but didn't say anything.
Russen said, "The specific mission has been sent to your tactical board. Simply put, Mr. President wants us to work with the Rose Empress to attack Mo Suo so that we can put pressure on the people of Nelm and force their main army to withdraw from Earth. As for the specific actions, you can discuss them with General Melinda. If there are no other questions, General Catherine, you can go down. "
Catherine closed her legs and saluted Russen. With a wave of his cloak, he left the command room.
Adahua Planet.
For the City of Gold, today was another sunny day. The bright and beautiful sunlight sprinkled down from the sky, dyeing the streets and buildings in a layer of golden yellow. Today's Golden City lived up to its name. Normally, such good weather was a good time for the people on the floating island to travel, but today, the atmosphere on the floating island was solemn, and an important meeting was being held in the palace.
Sunlight shone through the corridor, dyeing the vermilion carved railings with a layer of gold. A fair hand brushed past the railing, and the slender figure leaning against the railing let out a soft sigh. Her golden hair shone brightly in the sunlight. The breeze gently lifted her golden and slender hair, sprinkling specks of fluorescent light in the air like stars.
At the other end of the corridor, the female guard's ears twitched. She looked towards the left side of the corridor and saw a few people walking towards them. Before the person arrived, a voice rang out. His voice was warm, but his tone was so sharp that it made the female guard frown.
"I was wondering who was waiting outside the palace. So it's Sister Lucy. Don't you know that Father has an important meeting to convene today and doesn't have time to summon you?
”
The female guard looked over and saw that it was a fifteen or sixteen year old girl. She looked somewhat similar to Lucy, but she looked younger. Her clothes were dignified and luxurious, but there was a hint of ridicule and disdain on her childish face.
As soon as she finished speaking, a few girls of similar age behind her followed suit. Lucy, who was leaning against the railing of the corridor, gathered her hair that had been blown away by the wind. She turned around and whispered to the guard in the shadows, "Let's go, Annie.
”
That was Imperial Daughter Audrey, one of Lucy's many sisters. As for the girls behind her, they were Audrey's playmates and attendants. Lucy's cold attitude angered Audrey greatly, especially when the guard named Annie turned around and wanted to leave. This made Audrey lose face even more.
Seeing this, a girl beside her shouted, "Wait!
”
Lucy stopped and asked coldly, "What are you doing?"
The girl giggled and said, "Don't be angry, Your Highness Lucy. I don't dare to ask you to wait. But the guard beside you is too rude. She didn't even kneel down to greet Her Highness Audrey. Could it be that Her Highness Lucy hasn't taught her the basic etiquette of the palace? "
Lucy said in a deep voice, "Annie has just arrived in the palace and doesn't know the etiquette of the palace. I'll teach her well when I get back."
"So that's how it is." Audrey laughed, "Since she doesn't understand, why don't I teach her today? Your name is Annie, right? Remember, no matter who you are. In this palace, you're just a mere guard. When you see the royal family, you should kneel. This is the most basic etiquette, do you understand? "
The girl at the side sneered, "If you understand, kneel down and salute Her Highness Audrey immediately."
Lucy snorted coldly and was about to step forward. However, she pulled Angeloni's hand without a trace. Then Angeloni half-knelt on the ground and lowered her head to Audrey. "I was rude, Your Highness Audrey."
Audrey sneered, "As a guard, you should know humility, but I can only hear arrogance in your tone. Rosa, go up and give her a slap. Let her remember her identity! "
The girl called Rosa walked forward with a smile and looked sideways at Lucy. "Your Highness's expression is so scary."
Lucy didn't even look at her. She only stared at Audrey and said, "I hope you know what you're doing."
Audrey sneered, "Of course I know. I'm teaching a lesson for my sister so that she won't lose face for my sister in the future. Of course, sister, you don't have to thank me. This is my duty. Who asked us to be sisters? "
Rosa used a finger to lift Angeloni's chin. There was no expression in the latter's eyes. Rosa revealed a disgusted expression and slapped Angeloni's face with the back of her hand. Seeing this, Audrey laughed complacently. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly heard Lucy's words behind her.
"I heard that Sister Audrey had once flirted with Franco in public, but unfortunately, she was rejected. I say, Sister Audrey, as a member of the royal family, you should have the dignity and modesty of the royal family. Besides, you like someone like Franco. Your taste needs to be improved. "
Audrey's expression changed on the spot.
That time was a lifelong shame for Audrey, especially after Franco rejected her. Not long after, he forced Lucy to marry him outside the Royal Library. Wouldn't that tell the world that she was inferior to Lucy? This was something that Audrey cared about very much. Now that Lucy had said it in front of so many people, Audrey's rationality immediately disappeared.
When she turned around, her small face was terrifyingly distorted. She shouted, "Shut up, what right do you have to say that about me? Franco, that coward, should have done it with you outside the library. That way, no one would have to see a hateful woman like you in the palace! "
The girls beside her turned pale with fright. Although Audrey was a royal daughter, Lucy was also a member of the royal family. It would be extremely disadvantageous for Audrey to publicly insult the royal family like this.
Lucy sneered and walked over in large strides. Seeing that the situation was not right, the two guards behind Audrey hurriedly stepped forward. One of the guards said softly, "Your Highness, please wait."
Without saying a word, Lucy raised her hand and slapped the guard's face. Then, she said, "How dare you! A mere guard dares to make me stop? Annie! "
Angeloni raised her head. She had a smile on her face, but a trace of killing intent appeared in her eyes. The corridor suddenly turned cold. Angeloni appeared in front of Lucy like a ghost. She grabbed the arms of a guard with both hands and with a slight shake of her hands, the two guards were thrown away. There were no obvious wounds on his body, but he couldn't get up for a while.
Lucy passed by Angeloni and came to Audrey's side. She opened her hands and slapped Audrey twice in a row.
A clear voice rang out in the corridor. Audrey's small face revealed a stunned expression. After a long while, she said, "You dare to hit me?"
"Why wouldn't I dare to hit you?" Lucy waved her hand. "You and I are both members of the royal family, and I am your sister. You don't know how to respect your elders. As an elder sister, I can only let you have a long memory so that you don't lose face for our royal family outside. "
"You, you!" Audrey was so angry that her chest rose and fell. Lucy had almost returned her words to her, and she couldn't find a way to refute them. How could she not be angry and annoyed?
After a while, Audrey said, "Alright, alright, alright. I want to see how long you can be proud of yourself in this palace without the support of your family!"
"Oh, I forgot that Your Highness Audrey has a marquis uncle." Lucy smiled and said, "But I have to remind you that I am the successor to the Golden Rose. Have you forgotten that every generation's successor will receive the firm support of the Golden Rose Family? Do you think your family is stronger than the Golden Rose Family? "
The Golden Rose Family was one of the oldest families on Adahua Planet. They were descendants of the Rose Empress. After the end of the Rose Empress' era, she retired from politics, but she had announced that the Origin Tool that the Empress had used would be supported by every successor of the Golden Rose.
Audrey's expression was a little ugly. Of course, she didn't dare to say that her family was stronger than the Golden Rose. No matter how stupid she was, she knew that this was a heartbreaking remark. Unwilling, she could only say, "The Golden Rose Family has been in seclusion for many years. Whether they will keep their promise or not is another matter. I advise you not to hold too much hope, sister."
At this moment, footsteps sounded. A palace guard came to the side of the two women and said to Lucy, "Your Highness, His Majesty wants to see you."
Lucy nodded and winked at Angeloni. The two of them walked to the other side of the corridor. Audrey was about to step forward when she was stopped by the guard, "Your Highness Audrey, your name is not on His Majesty's invitation list."
Just as Audrey was about to attack, the guard lowered his voice and said, "Also, just because the Golden Rose Family has retreated doesn't mean that we can't hear the voices of the outside world."
