The Whole Empire Thinks The Admiral Wants To Steal The Bride - Extra 1.3

Extra 1.3 – 　‘I always feel like I’ve forgotten something.’

　　☆☆、Chapter 28 – The Secret Love Story of the Fran Empire (Part 3)☆☆、

　　　The enemy attack occurred at 2:30 a.m. Fran time.

　　The sharp alarm tore through the darkness of the starship, waking Joshua and Leslie suddenly from their sleep.

　　They looked at each other, changed into their combat uniforms in tacit understanding, and grasped the standard weapons of logistics soldiers – small particle guns.

　　But Joshua soon discovered that these toy-like small weapons were probably useless. The enemy had deployed an astonishing number of mid- and high-level mechas, and the situation could be described as a hunt.

　　House Galaxy.

　　Joshua silently took note of this in his heart. He pursed his lips and walked lightly…

　　”Joe, where are you going?” Leslie watched his companion walk toward the door warily. “The sergeant ordered us to stay here.”

　　He emphasized the pronunciation of the four words “stay here”, his emerald eyes full of disapproval.

　　Joshua smiled and pointed his gun toward the side of the porthole: “Do you see outside the window?”

　　In response, a muffled sound of being hit was heard from the outer layer of the starship.

　　”I see.” Leslie was puzzled. “So what? We can’t help at all! We should just stay here and wait for this battle to end!”

　　If only it could end that easily…Joshua almost admired his naivety.

　　Judging from the current situation, the enemy had deployed thirty or forty mechas on the side opposite to this window, and the number of soldiers on the enemy’s side were definitely more than two hundred.

　　How many mecha soldiers were there on their starship? There are only a little over a hundred, and 30 to 40 percent of them were sick and disabled and taking advantage of the situation.

　　——Laziness and stupidity.

　　Joshua spread his hands speechlessly and explained in a low voice: “I don’t think I can help, but if I’m right, some of them have already sneaked into our starship – the alarm just now was a double alarm: enemy attack and invasion. Leslie, are you sure it’s safe here?”

　　Leslie remained silent.

　　Joshua was not in a hurry. He closed his eyes and listened to the noise outside the door for a while. He then said softly, “Don’t forget that the lounge we are staying in is the closest place to the driving area on this starship.”

　　This is the lounge for Glenn and Bernard, two new recruits who had unknowingly become bait in the spider’s web.

　　Although this was not the intention of the black-haired young man.

　　”Come on, don’t waste any more time.” Joshua looked back one last time, determination flashing in his disguised pupils.

　　Leslie gritted his teeth and followed Joshua, who finally chose to follow.

　　Joshua tilted his head to one side and raised the corner of his lips slightly in satisfaction.

　　——”Okay, let’s go.”

　　Two teenage boys gently pushed open the door leading to the driving area amid the sounds of alarms and gunfire.

　　The AI’s identity verification did not sound.

　　Joshua narrowed his eyes and walked as lightly as a cat.

　　•=|=•

　　Meanwhile, on the other side of the battle at the bottom of the starship, Glenn and the others didn’t even have time to chat.

　　The combat power they could use is about fifty mechas, which was only a quarter of the enemy’s.

　　Bernard, who was appointed as deputy captain, was almost going crazy. What made him most crazy was that his young, crazy leader, who was like a lone wolf on the battlefield, now seemed quite calm.

　　——Look how accurate he is at shooting, one shot kills a kid…

　　Bernard closed his eyes tightly and said, “Boss, aren’t we going to retreat?! Ms. Lux and the others are still in the room! If we keep going like this, the starship will be blown to pieces! This is not a cosmic-class giant, it’s just an ordinary big ship!”

　　Glenn smiled calmly, “Don’t worry, Bernard, the time is not up yet.”

　　Bernard rolled his eyes and gripped his mecha’s start button a little tighter.

　　Damn, what a lunatic who doesn’t care about his life.

　　The enemy’s mechas were still concerned about Lux and her colleagues on the ship, and were only attacking a few areas of the activity zones on the left and right wings of the starship. They were being cautious and must be feeling uncomfortable.

　　Glenn took advantage of this and led a team of dozens of people to first clear out the House mecha soldiers that invaded the starship.

　　They used primitive electric shock guns and restraint guns, and the knocked down House people were controlled together by four teams. As long as they won the battle, they could return with a lot of military funds.

　　——Glenn was born into a poor family, but his obsession with military spending was unparalleled. Bernard admired this trait of his but did not want to learn it from him.

　　”How many?” Glenn asked.

　　”Twenty-two, and you handled fourteen of them yourself,” Bernard answered without hesitation, for he had a photographic memory in this regard.

　　Glenn nodded with satisfaction and looked down at the communicator. A message popped up on it almost at the same time.

　　[We have arrived at the designated location. Thank you for your help. I wish you peace.

　　PS. Are you really not considering leaving a private number?]

　　[From:TA-1294/Pilot]

　　Glenn touched his chin, hummed, and said, “Get ready.”

　　”What are you preparing for?”

　　”Take your little beauty and get ready to leave.” Glenn smiled. “It’s time to go out for a flight, don’t you think?”

　　Bernard blew his whistle and saluted in a standard military salute. At this moment, his deliberately grown beard could not hide the youthful energy in his body. After all, he was only twenty-four years old.

　　”Yes!”

　　But when the enemy was strong and they were weak, everyone knew that a head-on confrontation was not feasible.

　　Bernard then heard his young boss say with all his heart: “It’s just a flyaround, understand?”

　　“…” Oh, bait.

　　The bait Bernard quickly left with twenty mecha soldiers, and Glenn led the remaining men to continue moving towards the second floor of the starship.

　　The previous bombardment occurred on both sides of the living quarters on the second and third floors of the starship. They had to check the extent of the damage to the hull and make sure there were no remaining invaders on the second and third floors.

　　Whether it was a battle or a war, the most important factor in winning is the control of the battle situation. This is also the source of the importance of a good general.

　　The seconded mecha soldiers – Glenn’s former subordinates and companions, were basically assigned to Bernard. Glenn looked back with some ease, and as expected, he saw that these soldiers from Shizukumi Star who had been away from the battlefield for a long time had more or less fear in their eyes.

　　Between life and death, the most deadly thing is fear.

　　It could silently wear you down.

　　Glenn sighed imperceptibly, frowned, and said in a deep voice: “The enemy attack that occurred today was within the military’s expectations. Reinforcements will arrive in half an hour.”

　　The mecha soldiers looked at each other hesitantly and then looked at Glenn together.

　　”Our mission is to defend the starship within half an hour and try not to let the enemy escape.” Glenn smiled. “Can we do it?”

　　”Yes!”

　　Glenn nodded. “Team Three, go to the living area on the second floor to check the damage to the ship. Team Two, follow me to the mecha control area on the third floor and prepare for battle.” He paused. “Guard your companions’ backs, because they will also protect you. Let’s go.”

　　”Yes!”

　　The reinforcements were still outside the Twelve Stars, and it should take them at least an hour to reach the current coordinates.

　　But Sergeant Glenn Sasir wasn’t worried, at least not yet.

　　He hooked the handle of the gun and put the stun gun back into the holster…stroking the metal buckle from time to time.

　　‘I always feel like I’ve forgotten something.’

　　Fortunately, thinking did not hinder his steps, and Glenn quickly led everyone along the stairs to the top floor of the starship. The red alarm night light made it easy to communicate with gestures, and they quickly determined the direction of movement.

　　The team of thirty people carefully left the stairs and moved silently towards the driving area.

　　Glenn and Bernard had forcibly locked onto the artificial intelligence with their control authority before the alarm sounded. At this moment, the entire driving area was almost eerily quiet – until a miserable scream was heard from afar.

　　Who?

　　The mecha soldiers looked at each other.

　　Glenn, who was walking in the front, suddenly clenched his fists and cursed silently.

　　——He forgot about the two Beta logistics soldiers in the rest area!
