Silence.
Still silence.
Whether it was the girl sitting on the edge of the bed or the girl lying on the bed, other than their almost identical faces, they were in sync. The silence was almost unbearable.
Teresa sighed inwardly.
She had originally thought that she would be able to obtain some information from Xia Yulan, who had just woken up from her heavy injuries, but she did not expect that after Xia Yulan had a few words with Xia Yufang, who had been standing guard by her bedside, she would close her eyes and no longer react to the outside world.
And Teresa also saw the communication between the twins.
However, Teresa was completely unable to make sense of the Gemini's words.
"Is it a secret message between them?"
After thinking about it carefully, Teresa felt that it was more and more possible.
But before Teresa could find a suitable way to break through, Xia Yufang, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, suddenly spoke.
"Where is the pilot of the white AS?"
"Knight?"
Teresa answered subconsciously.
"Why are you looking for Knight?"
In fact, Teresa was most afraid of Xia Yufang. Xia Yulan and the twins were silent. Because this would definitely make it impossible for Teresa to obtain the information she wanted.
Now that Xia Yufang could ask, it became Teresa's only breakthrough.
"Knight? Then, we must see him in the shortest time possible. Otherwise, we refuse to respond to any inquiries. "
A light flashed in Xia Yufang's eyes. She seemed to have a reaction to the code name Knight.
"In other words, as long as you see Knight, you will tell him everything you know?"
Teresa asked rhetorically.
"You can think of it that way."
Since then, the twins, Xia Yufang and Xia Yulan, once again fell into silence.
Although the atmosphere once again returned to the previous oppressive silence, for Teresa, there was progress.
Without hesitation, and without trying to communicate with Xia Yufang again, Teresa turned around and left the ward to meet with Richard who was guarding outside.
"Richard. Are we still in contact with Avalon? "
Teresa pondered for a moment and looked at Richard.
"Yes. Captain. We have always been in contact with Avalon. "
Richard nodded and said in a serious tone.
"Yes. Melissa, Wilba, and Xiangliang Zongjie, how are they doing? "
Teresa remembered the three people who had been sent to Avalon not long ago to learn how to use the lambda drive system. She couldn't help but ask.
"According to the report 12 hours ago, Cruz Wilba has already learned how to use the Lambda Drive System, but there is still a long way to go before he can freely use it in actual combat. In addition, Mao Melissa and Sagara Sosuke are also in the next step of the tutorial. I believe that they will soon be able to use the lambda drive system as skillfully as Cruz Wilba. "
Teresa couldn't help but nod at Richard's report.
Although Ray Mingkai had already left the 'Sons of Dan Nu' and took the AI-AL with him, from the current situation, the 'Sons of Dan Nu' was temporarily shelved due to the lack of combat power. This gap would soon be filled by Melissa and the other two who had learned how to freely use the Lambda Drive System in battle.
All in all, this transaction was not considered a loss.
"Richard. Send a request to Avalon. In the name of the captain of Dannu's Son and the frontline commander of Mithril, I request a friendly visit to Avalon. "
"Captain. This …. "
Teresa's sudden announcement made Richard stunned for a moment.
"Can't I? Richard. "
"No! Captain. I just think this may be a bit early. "
"Early?" Teresa tilted her head slightly and immediately understood Richard's meaning.
"Richard, are you saying that we should only mention the request for a friendly visit after this operation? Well, maybe that's the case. But now the situation has changed. The twin sisters requested to see the Knight. Otherwise, we can't get any information about the amalgam from them. "
Teresa's words silenced Richard for a moment, but he soon felt relieved.
After all, this was not a dangerous request.
The reason why Richard raised this question was because this request was indeed a bit presumptuous in the current situation.
"I understand. I will arrange it now. In addition, Captain, I hope you can arrange for a few more people to accompany us. "
For the sake of safety, Richard couldn't help but suggest more guards.
"Of course."
Teresa nodded and smiled slightly.
"Although the twins have shown a certain degree of obedience, in reality, we can't be at ease with them. Everything may only be known after we arrive at Avalon. "
Teresa and the others were not the only ones who wanted to know. As the party being requested, Ray Mingkai was also somewhat confused.
If it weren't for the twins, Xia Yufang and Xia Yulan, who took the initiative to request to see Ray Mingkai before they were willing to reveal all information about the amalgam, Ray Mingkai probably wouldn't have remembered the twins that he had forgotten about on Dannu's Son.
"Xia Yufang, Xia Yulan. Are they the assassin twins you were talking about, Kai? "
After replying to Teresa's request to board the ship, Euphemia looked at the resume about the twins in her hands.
"Yes. Yes. "
Ray Mingkai nodded.
Since the twins wanted to see him, they naturally couldn't avoid Euphemia, the Empress of the Empire. Therefore, Ray Mingkai straightforwardly gave all the information about the twins' origins to Euphemia.
"From the resume, they are similar to Mira, but they are much more distressing than Mira."
Euphemia's gaze fell on the twins' extremely similar faces.
Just by looking at the two beautiful faces that were almost identical, Euphemia really couldn't imagine that the Gemini were actually cruel assassins that had been carefully groomed.
"Your Majesty. This is the cruelty of war. "
Fiana, who stood behind Euphemia, suddenly spoke.
Perhaps it was the similarity of their backgrounds, or perhaps it was the resonance of the similar experience of being trained into killing weapons. Fiana, who had always been taciturn, couldn't help but express her thoughts.
"Fiana. I remember your original experience was similar to theirs. "
Euphemia looked back at the captain of the guards who protected her.
"Yes. Your Majesty. Since I was born, I have always been called the Elemental Body and fought on the battlefield under the command of the military. "
Fiana's voice was very dull.
For her who came back from the dead, the days of being controlled and killing everywhere were already unreachable.
"Is that so?"
Euphemia pondered for a moment and then looked at Ray Mingkai.
"Mingkai. I wonder if we can win the twins over to our side? "
Euphemia's words made Ray Mingkai slightly stunned.
To be honest, Ray Mingkai didn't have the idea of winning the twins over to his side at the beginning. It was fate that brought them to where they were today.
Otherwise, in the battle at the dock, Xia Yufang would have died under the sword of the crossbow.
"Your Majesty. I think it might be difficult. "
Ray Mingkai shook his head and spoke his thoughts.
"In terms of combat power, Xia Yufang and Xia Yulan are nothing more than soldiers and pilots with great combat power. However, in terms of human nature, perhaps it will be very difficult for us to subdue them."
"Crime?"
Even without Ray Mingkai's explanation, Euphemia already knew that what stood in the way of winning over the twins would be the rules of this world.
"Maybe, maybe not."
Ray Mingkai didn't care too much about this.
After all, under Mithril's command, how could there be a clean mercenary?
Even the protagonist, Xiangliang Sosuke, was a young soldier from the chaotic Middle East. In this case, as long as Mithril didn't pursue the matter, the matter of the twins could be big or small.
The only thing that troubled Ray Mingkai was the influence of the nine dragons on the twins.
Whether it was in his memory or now, after the nine dragons died, the twins' actions were still affected by the nine dragons. Even if it was an impossible task, the twins would complete the nine dragons' orders without hesitation.
This was a complicated relationship that was difficult to solve from the source.
"Is it that man?"
Looking at the troubled expression on Ray Mingkai's face, Euphemia's intuition immediately guessed the key point.
"Mhmm. Yes. Whether that man is still alive or not, he will definitely be a hindrance to Your Majesty's plan. "
"Is that so?"
Euphemia suddenly smiled and put down the document in her hand.
"Forget it. Kai. In that case, let's take a step. If it doesn't work, then we'll deal with it according to the rules here! "
"Yes! Your Majesty. "
Eight hours later, the helicopter carrying Teresa, Kalinin, and the twins, who were guarded by a group of soldiers, carefully landed on the deck of Avalon under the guidance of Avalon.
"Welcome to Avalon! We meet again. The lovely captain of Dan Nu's Son. "
The welcoming team led by Royd and Cecil welcomed Teresa.
"Your Excellency Royd, Miss Cecil. It's nice to see you again! I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you two today. "
Teresa, who walked down from the helicopter, walked to Royd and Cecil and bowed slightly.
"No, no, no! How can you say that! It's a great thing for us to have such a lovely captain visit Avalon. Okay! Okay! Don't just stand here. The captain of Knight has arranged everything. "
After Royd casually finished a simple welcoming ceremony, he anxiously invited Teresa and Kalinin.
"Miss Cecil. Where are Mao Melissa and the others? "
Kalinin, who was following behind, found an opportunity to ask Cecil.
"Miss Melissa? They're waiting for you inside! "
Cecil smiled mysteriously and only gave a vague answer.
For some reason, Kalinin suddenly felt that this visit was a bit rushed.
As for the soldiers following behind them, other than sizing up this unknown floating battleship that had been cruising in the skies above this region of the sea, Xia Yufang, who was escorting Xia Yulan in a wheelchair forward, followed behind the crowd and moved forward.
But then, when the door in front of everyone slowly opened, steel giants, who were ten meters tall, stood facing each other. They were covered in silver armor and wore red cloaks. They pulled out long swords from their waists and slashed into the air.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The long swords pierced through the air, and the buzzing sound of metal colliding could be heard.
At the same time, the light refracted from the blades was so sharp at this moment that people could not look directly at it and subconsciously felt a trace of fear.
Teresa narrowed her eyes. Amidst the light refracted by the blades, she could vaguely see some silhouettes standing at the end of the welcoming formation formed by the steel giants standing opposite each other.
Among them, Teresa vaguely recognized the figures of Melissa, Cruz, and Sosuke Sagara.
"Is this a show of strength?"
Teresa raised her head and looked at the steel giants standing on both sides of the corridor. Then, she looked at the corridor formed by the steel giants' swords that stretched out from under her feet.
"Colonel."
Kalinin, who came back to his senses, glanced at Royd, who still had a smile on his face, and reminded Teresa softly.
"It's okay. Kalinin. This is a grand welcoming ceremony, right? Your Excellency Royd. "
Teresa gave Kalinin a reassuring smile, then turned to look at Royd.
"Yes. Captain Teresa. This is a welcoming ceremony prepared to welcome distinguished guests, and it is also one of the grandest welcoming ceremonies in our empire. "
Royd had a kind smile on his face as he explained to Teresa in a slow voice.
"Is that so? Then, this welcoming ceremony is really memorable! "
Teresa chuckled, then stepped onto the red carpet. She fearlessly walked toward the end of the red carpet in the midst of the scattered sword light above her head.
Under the sword light.
Teresa's petite and delicate body seemed to be emanating a fearless and tenacious radiance, and it actually caused the sword light that was pouring down to faintly avoid her.
"Colonel."
Kalinin sighed secretly, then nodded to Royd and Cecil, and waved his hand.
"Follow."
So, under the leadership of Teresa, Kalinin and the others also stepped onto the red carpet paved by the sword light.
"Very good people! Kai, don't you think so? "
At the end of the red carpet, Euphemia, who had changed into a royal robe, looked at the petite figure walking on the red carpet fearlessly under the sword light, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Yes! Your Majesty. This is the captain of Dannu's Son, Teresa Taestarosa. A strong and smart girl. "
Standing next to Euphemia was Ray Mingkai, who had changed into the empire's standard military uniform. And he wore a long sword on his waist that symbolized his identity as the captain of the Knight Guards.
This time, in addition to responding to Teresa's request for a friendly visit, Euphemia, as the Empress of the Britannia Empire, was also conducting a foreign exchange.
