The battle on Gaul 4 ended with the Galaxy's complete defeat. At the same time, Xiao Ran and the fleet had completed the second main mission. Whether it was the victory of the battle or the successful completion of the second main mission, it could be said to be inevitable, but at the same time, it was also a coincidence.
It was inevitable that Sherry Dew and Orchid, who were by Xiao Ran's side, had played a huge role in the battle against the Zergs. Their songs could communicate with the Zergs, which directly caused the Zergs to stop their battle with the fleet. Unexpectedly, they directly aimed their firepower at the Galaxy's fleet, causing the fleet to suffer the full brunt of the firepower from both sides before being destroyed.
Coincidentally, it was also due to the Zergs' sudden change in firepower that caused the Galaxy's fleet to be destroyed before they could reach their target. If the Galaxy's fleet had held on for a little longer, or if the three-party melee had allowed them to move closer to Gaul 4, even if all the Dimensional Devourers carried by the battleships had not been able to destroy Gaul 4, at that time, neither the fleet nor the Zergs would have the time to care about the five small landing ships that had appeared on the other side of the planet.
Xiao Ran was able to win this battle. In fact, they had won in a short amount of time. At the same time, the reinforcements from the insect fleet had stopped their attacks, causing the participants from the insect camp to not launch an attack. Instead, they had calmly discussed with Xiao Ran and decided to cooperate. Furthermore, they had destroyed the last dimensional devourer that Xiao Ran had almost missed.
In the end, both sides benefited from the cooperation. The participation of the Zergs' camp could be said to have picked up the 3000 points from the side mission reward, while Xiao Ran officially completed the second main mission with the help of the participants in the Zergs' camp.
When the battle ended, the Zergs gathered together and faced the fleet from afar. Although they were still somewhat vigilant, it was more of a peaceful atmosphere. Sherry Dew and Orchid had already stopped singing. When they saw the Zergs and humans facing each other but not continuing to fight, they looked at each other and smiled. However, there was a trace of exhaustion in their smiles, while Sherry Dew's smile had a sense of paleness.
Stirling piloted his sniper Jim II and slowly flew to the front of the Sacred Lightning Shield. Next to him was the scout Nairo.
Xiao Ran picked up the call and heard Stirling's voice, "Alex, can your faction provide a ship for us to rest on? I think we should formally meet."
Xiao Ran was just about to agree. But after a moment of hesitation, he said something else, "Wait a moment, I need to apply to the fleet commander."
"Sorry to trouble you."
"You're welcome." Xiao Ran controlled the Sacred Lightning Shield to fly towards the new MACROSS class warship. He turned off the communication with Stirling and connected to the MACRSOSS class warship. "Commodore Perry, spare a landing ship and prepare a place for our new friends to rest. By the way, there's no need to monitor them. "
"I'll arrange it right away."
Soon, a landing ship was completely emptied. Apart from the basic staff, all the fighters and unrelated personnel were moved to other warships. It took more than an hour to finish everything. Xiao Ran also rested on the MACROSS class warship for a while. After telling Moses not to continue monitoring, he directly sat on the warship prepared for the enemy faction and slowly moved towards the space between the Zerg fleet and the fleet.
When the landing ship slowly came to a stop, the Zerg faction members also flew towards the landing ship. In the end, ten MS-class warships were parked in the landing ship. The rest were all parked on the deck and outer armor of the landing ship. These participants entered the ship through other channels.
In the hangar of the landing ship, watching the two people slowly descend from the sniper Jim II and the scout Nairo, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
Stirling had short brown hair that looked as stiff as needles. Except for the helmet that exposed her head, her entire body was covered by a pilot's uniform. She was about 175 centimeters tall, but looked a little thin. Her face was a little yellow, not the yellow skin of an Asian like Xiao Ran. Instead, it was the yellow of a person who had a serious illness. Even her eyes were the same.
And the one who came down from the scout Nairo was indeed a little girl with short blonde hair. She looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. Her face was still childish. She had a very polite Xiao Ran on her face, but one could see from the corners of her mouth that there was a hint of arrogance in her smile.
The other participants also left their spaceships and walked over. There were all kinds of people, but they did not look much different from the humans of this world.
Stirling carried her helmet with one hand and stopped about three steps in front of Xiao Ran. "Hello, Alex. Thank you for being willing to provide a ship for us to rest on. "
Xiao Ran did not wear a mask. Instead, he wore some light makeup. Under the lights of the hangar, he looked much younger and more handsome than the real him. In particular, there was a faint scar on his face, which gave him a strong masculine charm. "You're welcome."
Stirling smiled and looked around. She asked curiously, "Where are the others in your faction?"
"On another ship. Since this ship is arranged for you, I think it's better if no one else appears."
Stirling nodded. "That's good. I'm only the person who was elected to speak to the outside world. If there are any conflicts because of the faction, I can't control it. But can you speak for the others in your faction?"
"Of course." Xiao Ran smiled. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here alone."
Stirling did not think about the uniqueness of the ship's faction. The other participants did not even have the slightest bit of autonomy. Although she now knew that there was a participant who piloted a black spaceship in the ship, she had no idea what this participant's identity was. Even the second main mission was completed in a muddled state after a battle.
Stirling said, "Since you can make the decision, I'll be straightforward. When can you hand over Sherry Dew Noam and Lanhua Lee to us?"
"Hand them over to you?" Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment. He frowned slightly. "When did I say I'd hand them over to you?"
Stirling's eyes narrowed. She took a step forward and looked straight at Xiao Ran. "So you mean you're going back on your word?"
Hearing Xiao Ran's words, the other participants also frowned. Some of them even took a few steps towards Xiao Ran, their hands gripping the gun clips on their thighs.
"No, you might have misunderstood something. Besides, I've never thought of going back on my word." Xiao Ran smiled faintly and waved his hand in the air.
Xiao Ran's action caused Stirling to frown. She raised her hand and turned to look at the other participants. "Don't be rash!"
Stirling's tone turned cold. "What do you mean?"
"As expected, participants are all a group. They can be friends when they're working together, but when they get in the way, they're definitely enemies." Xiao Ran sighed in his heart. This also dispelled his desire to find one or two teammates among the participants. He shook his head and smiled at Stirling. "I never said I wouldn't help you complete your main mission. Your main mission should be to bring these two to Vajra's home planet, right?"
Stirling nodded. "Mm."
"My side mission is the same as well, so you don't have to worry about any conflicts between us." Xiao Ran smiled. "Of course, from the point of view of the mission, you only need those two to appear in front of Vajra's home planet. It doesn't say you have to personally bring them there, right?"
Stirling stared blankly for a moment before shaking her head. "No."
Xiao Ran spread his hands. "Since that's the case, it doesn't matter if I don't hand those two over to you. Besides, my third main mission also requires me to go to Vajra's home planet."
Stirling hesitated for a moment. "I want to see your mission."
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows. "Sure."
After speaking, he tapped a few times on his watch and held it horizontally in front of him. A projection that only participants could see appeared on the watch. The projection showed the two missions that Xiao Ran had accepted but had yet to complete. One was a main mission, while the other was a side mission.
D-rank side mission triggered. Lead Sherry Dew Noam and Lanhua Lee to Vajra's home planet. Let Vajra's home planet truly understand humans. Mission success reward X, mission failure penalty X.
Main mission 3 activated. Lead Fleet 25 to Vajra's home planet and settle things with Vajra's home planet. Mission success reward X, mission failure penalty X.
Apart from the unknown symbols for the reward and punishment, everything else could be seen. Of course, there wasn't anything special about these two missions. Even if Xiao Ran showed them to the Vajra faction participants, there wouldn't be any problems.
Xiao Ran also deduced from the third main mission that the fleet and Vajra faction should be considered as a true alliance. As long as Sherry Dew and Lanhua existed, this alliance would never be broken. After all, to the Zerg queen, only Lanhua and Sherry Dew were of the same kind, and not these participants who suddenly appeared in this world and chose to join a faction.
Although he was curious as to how these people joined the Vajra faction and what kind of tests or missions they went through in the faction, it was a little funny when he thought about it. He wondered if these participants had cried out for their mothers when they first chose to jump to the Vajra homeworld and saw countless Zergs.
After seeing Xiao Ran's mission, Stirling was completely relieved. Her originally cold expression was replaced by a warm smile. "My apologies, I misunderstood. It seems that our two factions have truly formed an alliance."
Xiao Ran smiled and didn't blame her at all. "If your mission doesn't have a time limit, you can wait a few days for us to head to Vajra's home planet together. After all, we need to make some preparations and think of a way to get the fleet and fleet commander to agree to go there."
