The negotiations on the planet had already begun, and the people on the B Squadrons could only see the general situation outside the planet through the transmissions. They couldn't know the specifics of the negotiations, and they would choose their next course of action based on the signal sent by the A Squadron.
Although they couldn't see the negotiations happening on the planet, the tension radiating from the planet had infected everyone around it. The large images on both sides of the planet showed the factions of both sides, but there wasn't even a band music playing right now. The starships were all quiet, and the only thing that added a hint of liveliness to the solemn atmosphere was the fighter jets flying around outside.
According to Cillin's knowledge, there were three vice commanders in the entire Vanguard's upper echelon. Vice commander Solowis stayed at Sector K's headquarters, vice commander Kang Ling stayed at Sector Z's branch base, and Stanley was the only one who came with Ji Feng. This meant that as the only vice commander who came with Ji Feng, there was a high chance that Stanley was on the Fog's assassination list …
Silin stared at the name list in his hand and pondered. He felt that there were a lot of things that Ji Feng didn't explain to him clearly, and these secrets would probably be exposed after this war.
Just as Cillin was thinking about some of the things he didn't understand, the communicator in his hand suddenly flashed. It didn't have a fixed frequency, and it was like a secret signal that told Cillin who the caller was.
Silin raised his hand and motioned for the others to continue paying attention to the A Squadron's movements. Then, he returned to his own lounge.
"What's wrong this time?" Silin looked at Wushe on the hologram and asked.
"I'm just checking to see how your preparations are going." Uncle Yin was still holding a box of ice cream and eating leisurely. He picked a mouthful for himself and another mouthful for the little animal nestled in his arms.
"If there's nothing important, I'm going to disconnect."
"Don't be hasty. You youngsters just can't keep your cool."
Wushe passed the box to the little animal in his arms. It was only the size of two fists, but it was able to hold a small bucket of ice cream so easily. It was impossible for a normal animal to do so.
I just wanted to remind you this time. "Don't get angry if something happens later."
"Such as?"
"Such as your starship changing owners."
"Hmm?"
"I'm guessing. With Ji Feng's personality, if he sensed that the negotiations weren't going well and the war was about to escalate, he definitely wouldn't put all his hopes on you."
"Are you talking about the person in our team who's on the Mist's hit list?"
"Correct! Actually, I think the people from 'Mist' must have leaked some information to Tamir. Tamir wouldn't let go of this opportunity to attack Ji Feng. "
The Tamer that Wushe was talking about was the current leader of the Navigators. He was one of the Six Stars of Hunter, just like Ji Feng.
"Why is that person so important? Is he related to Captain Ji Feng? "
Hidden Wushe didn't seem to like Ji Feng, but when he heard Silin's question, he didn't keep quiet like before. Instead, he said, "They are related, but it's not just because of their relationship. Ji Feng has a lot of sons, and a few of his grandsons are about the same age as you. However, those people are very low-key, and only a few of them are known to the public. Even if a few of them are killed because of the war, he wouldn't care. However, this one is different. "
When he said this, Hidden Wushe's eyes flashed with obvious mockery. From Hidden Wushe's words, Silin guessed that one of the five newcomers must be Ji Feng's descendant. Since Hidden Wushe said it was his "son", then Phoebe and Kong Lujia were eliminated. The only choices were Mao, Mogas, and Pango.
However, Silin had a lot of questions. First, Silin had come into contact with all of them before. He had fought with them, but he hadn't learned any genetic information from them. Second, what was so special about Ji Feng's son? Was he worth Ji Feng, Songba Leruo, and the other higher-ups' nervousness?
"You want to know?" Hidden Wushe crossed his legs and said smugly, "You want to know?"
"Tell me."
"Of course." Hidden Wushe adjusted his sitting posture and stroked his short beard. "You know Olillo, right? Have you heard of the 'spell' that represents evolution in Olillo?"
Olillo again?
It seems that this person is related to the 'spell'. Cillin thought about everything he knew about Olilo. If he was connected to the 'incantation', then that person must possess some kind of ability.
"Hmm. What else?" Silin looked at Hidden Wushe.
Uncle Yin's eyes twitched. He only said this to see Silin's reaction, but Silin's reaction was only a little surprise when he first heard it. He was so calm that Hidden Wushe wanted to slap him. It was obvious that Silin didn't have much ambition for Olillo. Originally, he wanted to persuade Silin to create some trouble for Ji Feng, but he didn't expect it to have such an effect. However, Uncle Yin was very satisfied with the result.
"Other than that, there's nothing else. Good luck to you. Oh right, I'll mourn for your starship." With that, Hidden Wushe ended the communication.
Silin sat in his room and thought about what Hidden Wushe said. He felt that these people were all mysterious. Also, Wushe seemed to be communicating with him more frequently. What was he after?
While he was thinking, Silin's shoulder sank. Huimao ran over and squatted on Silin's shoulder. He raised his foot and tapped Silin's face. "Silin, can I change my form and go out to fight later?"
Huimao's eyes lit up. This guy was looking forward to the upcoming battle.
Silin swatted Huimao's paw away. "You didn't even clean up the fish biscuits after scooping them up. It smells like fish …"
As he spoke, Silin suddenly paused. He looked at Huimao and lowered his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Wheeze, do you think you're the only cyborg in the entire League of Stars?" Silin asked.
"Huh?" Huimao, who was licking his paw, was puzzled. "Didn't you guys say that the stable state of cyborgs basically doesn't exist? If I hadn't eaten that unknown thing, I wouldn't have been able to transform so smoothly. "
"What if there's another cyborg that's as stable as you and can transform smoothly?"
Huimao narrowed his eyes and said with a deep look, "If it's not a friend, then it's an enemy. If it's an enemy, I'll kill it! "
Silin: "…"
"Silin, is there really such a thing?"
"I don't know. I just thought of asking." Silin wasn't sure if the one on Wushe's side was the same as Huimao's. Although the probability was very small in Silin's eyes, the remaining probability couldn't be ignored. However, if it really was that small probability, Silin couldn't imagine how Huimao would react when faced with a "fellow" that looked like a mouse. Hmm, he would probably choose to eat it?
What a headache. Silin rubbed his forehead.
"What's wrong?" Huimao asked.
"Nothing, I'm just thinking too much."
"Oh, don't think too much. You'll turn into an idiot," Huimao said in a serious tone.
Silin: "…"
When Silin returned to the command room, the A Team had already sent out a warning signal. It seemed that the negotiations weren't going well. They had only talked for a short while and they were already starting to get restless.
"Should we get ready?" Kari shook his arms. There was a thruster at the joints of his arms and legs. There was also a retractable device on his back. Xi Mu had decided to add a few pieces of equipment to Merciless's suit of armor. This way, they wouldn't have to rely on any other tools to fly in space. Moreover, the suit of armor was very sensitive. The faster a member's reflexes were, the better they would be able to utilize the suit of armor.
"Let's get ready …"
Before Silin could finish his sentence, he received a call from the A Team's starship.
After accepting the call, an image appeared on the screen. To everyone's surprise, it was one of the three vice-commanders, and the only vice-commander who had come to this meeting — Stanley.
Stanley looked very serious. After the communication was connected, he went straight to the point. "I need the leadership of your starship. I'll take over later …"
While Stanley was speaking seriously on the light screen, Wheeze had already left a few claw marks on the table beside him.
Give up the starship? Why the hell? Are they trying to steal my territory? Do these people have a death wish or something?!
Czedow poked Huimao, who was gradually losing control of his emotions. He shook his head and motioned for him to calm down.
At first, Stanley thought he'd have to waste a lot of time trying to convince him, but he didn't think that Silin would agree right after he was done talking. However, he also made some demands. Stanley looked a little impatient, but he didn't care about Silin's demands at all. Right now, his main goal was to take over Silin's starship and protect the person on it.
"Alright. I'll send someone over in two minutes." Stanley ended the call after that.
"Why did you give up Little Eleven, commander? What's the meaning of the A Team taking over right now?"
"Yeah. We may not have a lot of people, but we're still a squad. They can't just take our starship away even if they look down on us."
"We built our own starship. Why should we give it to them? It's not like the A Team lacks it!"
"Fuck, isn't he just a vice-commander? Why should he take our starship? "
Kari and the others were very dissatisfied with Stanley's decision. The B Squadrons of Vanguard had always been independent and never interfered with each other's business. Although the A Team had the right to assist in the management of the B Squadrons, that was all they were allowed to do. The reason why a Freedom Starship was called a Freedom Starship was because of its freedom. It wasn't like the military, where the orders of the higher-ups were strictly enforced. Not even the commander of a B Squadrons could say no to their commander's request!
But the problem was that Silin had agreed to it.
No matter how dissatisfied they were, they still trusted Silin after spending so much time with him. That was why they waited for Silin's next order after they were done complaining. They believed that Silin had his reasons for making such a decision.
"Get ready, everyone. Kari and the rest of you will fly the fighter jets out of here. Mogas and the rest of you will stay behind. "
"Of course, we won't give them our fighter jets! Damn it, this is blatant exploitation! " Kari grumbled as he left with Xiao Shang and the others. However, the way they looked at Mogas and the rest of the B Squadrons didn't look too good. Stanley had said on the hologram that the five new members would stay behind and the others would be free to do as they pleased. In other words, the others could either leave or stay behind and be at Stanley's mercy.
What the hell!
The conflict between the A Team and the B Squadrons had always existed. Many A Team members looked down on the B Squadrons unless they were particularly capable, like Songba Leruo and the others. However, people like Shotton didn't fare as well in the A Team as the B Squadrons imagined. He thought that the situation would improve after the A Team was demoted, but Kari couldn't help but feel extremely displeased when he recalled Stanley's tone just now!
That was why Kari vented his displeasure on Mogas and the rest of the B Squadrons. Mogas looked aggrieved, but the five of them didn't say anything. Silin had a feeling that they knew something.
Silin took out another spaceplane. This was the one Xi Kai and the others had built through practice. Silin had Dias's youngest son, Mo Heng, Xi Kai, and Xi Mu board it. Part of Xi Kai's mech army was also inside. Once the battle began and the spaceplane was safely away, Silin wouldn't have to worry about their safety.
Silin had a private conversation with Xi Kai and Xi Mu, but no one knew what it was about.
After the spaceplane left, Silin arranged for the rest of the B Squadrons to return to the spaceplane. There was another modified spaceplane on the starship, so Silin had the rest of the B Squadrons board it and the rest of the fighters move inside as well.
"Eleventh, keep an eye on this place. Don't let anyone go to the places I told you about," Silin said.
"Alright." Eleventh sounded a little sad.
"Don't worry, we'll be back soon. We haven't abandoned you."
Silin turned around and saw Huimao dragging his locker into the spaceplane. Behind him, Czedow was even helping him carry a few things like his furry cat nest.
"Wheeze, we're just leaving for a while. We're not moving."
"No, I don't trust them!" Huimao dragged his precious locker into the spaceplane without looking back.
Seeing Huimao's reaction, Xueqiu and the others also started moving their stuff. They were afraid that their "treasures" would be taken away.
Stanley was the one who was going to take over the starship when he said he was going to send someone to take over. He didn't think that the vice commander would come to take over the starship himself instead of helping Ji Feng.
Stanley didn't pay attention to the others' movements. He only looked at the five Mogas's group of five when he arrived. After giving Silin a nod, he walked toward the command center with his men.
After that, Silin made a gesture in the air and said, "We're leaving now. Keep an eye on this place, Eleventh."
After Silin boarded the spaceplane, the spaceplane took off and left the starship. For the first time in their lives, the Eleventh Squad members felt bitter inside.
It was as if someone had taken over their own home.
Kari didn't know why the A Squad was doing this, but he knew a thing or two about a Hunter's habits. For example, they wouldn't treat things that didn't belong to them as precious. Back when they were on the Eleventh Squad's starship, they made sure not to damage the walls around them even when they were fighting against each other. But would these people do the same? Would they take care not to shoot at the wall, kick the chair, or kick the table?
The more Cary thought about it, the more upset he felt. He decided to vent his pent-up anger and dissatisfaction on the enemies in the upcoming battle.
Silin told them that he would take back control of the starship, so they didn't retaliate. Otherwise, Kari wouldn't be afraid of them even if they were the A Squad members.
On Stanley's side, after the A Team took over this small starship, they looked down on it at first, but gradually, they discovered some special things on this starship. For example, many places could not be accessed at all, and some places had access control. Stanley could not command the access control system, and the person who cracked the code could not do anything about it either.
When someone threatened to shoot down the door, Phoebe sent him flying with a whip. The five of them wouldn't allow that to happen.
"Isn't it just a stupid starship? Do you really need to protect it so well? "The person who was sent flying waddled over to them.
Phoebe and the others didn't say anything. Stanley also told his men to be more careful. He was clearly going to accommodate the five of them.
"Vice-captain, there are many places on this starship that are sealed off. The lounges, workshops, and so on are all locked up," one of them said.
"I advise you not to barge in recklessly." Mogas leaned against the wall and said to the group of people who were looking left and right.
"What if I barge in?" the person asked.
This time, Mogas didn't answer. Instead, a childish voice answered, "Then I won't hold back."
…
On the other hand, Silin was chatting with his men on the spaceplane. He told them about the new operation plan and some emergency measures.
Cillin only ended the call after he received repeated assurances that they would execute the plan according to Cillin's instructions.
"What are those people trying to do, Silin?" Huimao was lying listlessly on its side, fiddling with a ball-shaped nut in front of it. It was worried about Sigma's indoor orchard on the starship. It was worried that the place it had rubbed its scent on would be destroyed by someone. That was why it couldn't afford to give up territory!
Silin stroked Huimao's fur. "You'll know when the time comes."
"What if they destroy the starship? What about Little Eleven? What about Sigma's indoor orchard, your workshop, and my turf? "The last sentence was the main point.
"Then we'll teach them a lesson as well. When the time comes, many people might enter our starship. Other than the people from Vanguard, there are also people from Navigator and others. "
"No matter who they are, we'll teach them a lesson together!" Huimao stood up and shook his fur.
"Yeah, we'll teach them a lesson together."
"We need to teach them a lesson!"
"Of course."
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Three alarms sounded, indicating the start of the battle. After these three alarms, an explosion occurred in a place on the planet, and a huge mushroom cloud rose. That was the place where the negotiations were taking place.
