Tessa stood up when she heard Xiao Ran's words. She pointed at Xiao Ran with a complicated expression of shock, dissatisfaction, sadness, disbelief, and even anger.
"You … How can you do this!"
Xiao Ran also stood up and slowly walked towards Tessa. After gently patting Tessa's head, his originally domineering tone became gentle. "I've said it before. In order to protect you all, I'm willing to pay any price. I can't accept anything that can threaten you all and threaten Mithril as a partner."
"This incident happened too suddenly and deliberately. I'm sure you've already guessed the identity of the unknown armed group. It doesn't make sense for an organization like that to seize a US military base for no reason. In order to ensure your safety and prevent you from making the wrong choice that could lead to you getting hurt or damaging Mithril, I can only do this."
"Moreover, even with your identity, it's impossible for you to understand everything about this world. There are also various mysteries in this world. I can't give you any explanation. You only need to believe me. If it's really as I think, and all this is just a scheme, then I won't do this. What happens next will be something you never want to see."
"This time, maybe the enemy isn't just targeting Amalgam. They might target me as well. If that's the case, then the enemy we're about to face is definitely not something Mithril can handle with the current Mech."
"Ring ~ ~"
All of a sudden, the phone in the conference room rang. Richard glanced at Xiao Ran who was slightly bending over and patting Tessa's head with a gentle look. Then, he glanced at the stubborn Tessa who was expressing her dissatisfaction from head to toe. After letting out a light sigh, he picked up the phone in the conference room.
After hearing what was said on the phone, Richard couldn't help but look at El Erf who was acting as if nothing had happened. He nodded and replied, "Understood. Begin to float and receive the goods. Stay alert."
Tessa could feel Xiao Ran patting her head gently. Xiao Ran looked like he was coaxing a child. She pouted and slapped away Xiao Ran's hand. She turned her head away and said, "I don't want to talk to you. This is my battleship. It's my Dan-slave's Son. It will only listen to my orders."
"Ahem." Richard walked to Tessa's side and coughed softly. He said, "General Jerome has ordered that from now on, Dan-slave's Son will be under the command of Mister Arikos. Also, the gift from the logistics department has arrived and must be opened by Mister Arikos himself."
Xiao Ran smiled at Tessa. "You can't refuse my orders now."
Tessa was very dissatisfied, so she didn't look at Xiao Ran directly. She was supposed to be angry, but when she saw Xiao Ran's actions and smile, she felt less angry. However, her dissatisfaction still remained.
She knew that the combat department had already confirmed Xiao Ran's command and she couldn't refuse, but she still expressed her dissatisfaction. "Hmph. I will never agree to unreasonable orders."
"Hehe." Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled. He looked at Vice-Captain Richard and said, "Vice-Captain Richard, you said that you sent me something from the logistics department?"
Richard replied, "Yes. There are still 15 minutes to receive it."
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
Xiao Ran also felt a little strange. However, if it was something sent from Mithril's logistics department, it must be from Law. The problem was that Law didn't tell him about this before, so Xiao Ran didn't know what the so-called gift was.
"Could it be that the transformation fighter is completed?"
Suddenly, this thought popped up in Xiao Ran's mind. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. Otherwise, Law wouldn't have sent the gift to Dan-slave's Son with such fanfare. Moreover, he chose to send it at such an important time. The main mission was about to be completed, so it was also the most likely time for problems to arise.
Xiao Ran smiled. He suddenly thought of something and asked Richard, "By the way, can the missiles on Dan-slave's Son bombard the island where the UA base is located?"
"Bombard?"
Xiao Ran's question made Richard stunned for a moment. The domineering question of "bombard" came out of Xiao Ran's mouth so easily. It made Richard feel that Dan-slave's Son should be able to do such a thing. But in fact, with Dan-slave's missile equipment, unless they used nuclear bombs, it was impossible to bombard an entire island.
However, even Dan-slave's Angel might not be able to bombard an island in a short period of time. At most, it could only bombard the island with propulsive firepower. But if it were the Milky Way Singer, Frontier, and Burning Legion, any one of them could bombard the entire island with missiles.
Seeing the stunned look on Richard's face, Xiao Ran also understood what he meant. He waved his hand and said, "It seems that I asked an unreasonable question. Load all the missiles before the mission starts. If necessary, I will give you the coordinates to bombard the island."
Richard glanced at Tessa, who was in fact pricking up her ears but pretending to ignore Zhang Heng's question. He nodded slightly and said, "Okay."
Ten minutes later, Tessa, Richard, Chidori, Yanni, El Erf, and Lang Ba stood on the deck of the Dan-slave's Son, which was now out of the water. The sea breeze carried a fishy smell, and the sun shone on them as they waited for their gifts to arrive.
Kalinin, the combat commander, stayed in the war room to explain the mission to everyone who would participate in the operation. Of course, he did not forget to tell them who would be the commander of this operation.
Soon, a black shadow appeared in the distant sky. Following the appearance of this black shadow, Xiao Ran and the others heard a soft roar. As the black shadow approached the Dan-slave's Son at an extremely fast speed, the roar gradually grew louder and louder.
At the same time, they also saw the appearance of the black shadow. After seeing the appearance of the black shadow, Richard was about to protect Tessa and leave the deck. At the same time, he turned to Xiao Ran and said, "Let's go down. If that fighter lands, this place will become very dangerous."
El Erf did not respond to Richard's words. When Yanni saw Xiao Ran standing still, she followed Xiao Ran and did not move. Chidori was about to leave when she saw the fighter getting closer and closer, but when she saw that Yanni did not move, she quickly took Yanni's hand and prepared to take her away from this dangerous place. When Lang Ba saw that Xiao Ran and El Erf were not in a hurry, he could only shrug his shoulders in Richard's direction, indicating that there was nothing he could do.
"It's okay." Xiao Ran turned to look in Richard's direction, indicating that he did not need to be nervous. "If you stay, I believe that what happens next will not disappoint you. Don't be scared."
The fighter that appeared in Xiao Ran's eyes was a fighter that obviously did not belong to this world. It was black all over, with many golden lines in it. When he saw this fighter, Xiao Ran had already confirmed his previous thoughts. Law had indeed rushed out the fighter at the most critical time.
The design of this fighter was very unique even in this world. The special adjustable forward-swept wing was not something that could be manufactured with the technology of this world. It was not the VF-25 Black Eagle that Xiao Ran was most familiar with, nor was it the VF-27 that was made using Gundam alloy, nor was it the VF-171 that the fleet was gradually replacing. It was a fighter with a VF = 19 design.
"The VF-19 that has similar performance to the VF-171, but the shape is more suitable for atmospheric combat."
Just as this idea came into Xiao Ran's mind, the black fighter accelerated and rushed in the direction of the Son of the Dan Slave, as if it was going to crash directly into the ship. Everyone present was shocked except for Xiao Ran, El Erf, and Langba.
The speed of the transforming fighter jet was extremely fast. It quickly flew to a position that was only a few meters above the deck. It looked like it would be able to brush past the Dan Nu's son in an instant. At this instant, the fighter jet shot out its arms and legs under the stunned gazes of Richard, Tessa, and the others who were dodging.
Everyone on the deck could feel the blazing flames as it ascended forward. In an instant, it caused the warship to stop moving at high speed. Then, it slowly stepped onto the deck with its blazing feet. Following a burst of white smoke, the cockpit in front of the warship opened up, and a human figure jumped out from within.
Before the smoke dissipated, Xiao Ran heard a familiar voice, "I thought you might need its help now, so I sent it to you. I also tested its stability on the way. It seems to be good now."
Xiao Ran heard Law's voice and smiled bitterly, "Law, it's been hard on you."
When the smoke dissipated, what appeared in the eyes of Xiao Ran and others was Law, who was wearing a vest with his hair tied up and holding Little Hachi in his hand. However, the Law that appeared in Xiao Ran's eyes was not as energetic as usual. Whether it was his voice or his appearance, he looked very tired.
Seeing Law like this, Xiao Ran also walked towards Law with a touch of apology and said: "Sorry, it seems that you have suffered a lot of pressure because of my request. Now take a good rest. If there's anything, we can talk about it after you wake up."
