Interstellar Survival: Invasion

/p>

A few seconds later, the two bridges touched.
After several attempts in accordance with the simulated data, the two bridges were finally locked together.
The docking process had been completed.

After a short depressurization process, Fearless ’s airlock opened.
A group of people walked in.
Next, the bridges disconnected and returned to their respective ships.
Zhang Xingxing and the two princes entered.
Surprisingly, three other people were behind them: Wind Spirit, Dondon, and Domo.

”Are the children here for tourism? ” sneered Zhang Bao ’er the moment he saw Domo.

”We are assisting the commander on an important assignment.
We will not waste any time with slow-witted individuals, ” said Domo to Wind Spirit, deliberately ignoring Zhang Bao ’er.

”Commander Xingxing, what is so important that you have to come yourself instead of using the communicator? ” I asked doubtfully.

”Prince Toruse has some thoughts he wishes to share with us.
I believe it will be better for the conversation to be private, ” said Zhang Xingxing.

”Is there a problem? Why must you be so cautious? ” I asked Prince Toruse.

”Canyue, I have a presumptuous request, ” said Prince Toruse without beating around the bush.

Hearing his words, I understood that he was about to make another big request.

Unsurprisingly, the prince requested, ”Is it possible to lend me and Arude a battleship? We need to carry out a secret mission independently.
We will regroup with everyone after our mission. ”

I found the request shocking.
I wasn ’t shocked by the prince ’s audacity in making the request but by the prince ’s words, which made it clear that there were more secrets buried in the Horsehead Nebula.
The two princes were still holding back some information from us.

”Secret operation for the two of you.
How are you going to pilot a ship with only two people? ” asked Zhang Bao ’er.

”Princes, can you tell me about your mission? If it is appropriate, we can even help you with it, ” I suggested.

”The two Storm warriors, Wind Spirit and Dondon, will be helping us.
We only need to borrow five more Blueling soldiers to help us staff the ship.
We really can ’t reveal the contents of the mission at this time.
We will arrive at the predetermined location after 24 hours.
At that time, I will tell all of you about the mission, ” said Prince Toruse with a polite yet resolute tone, completely unwilling to leak anything.

I looked at Zhang Xingxing.
It wasn ’t an easy request to agree to.
Zhang Xingxing sank into deep thought and remained silent for quite a while.
Seeing that, I was prepared to reject the prince.
After all, we were already lacking in numbers.
Losing another ship would greatly reduce our strength.

Before I could speak, Zhang Xingxing suddenly asked, ”Wind Spirit, Dondon, are you willing to accompany the prince on this secret mission? ” 

”What secret is it that he ’s so tight-lipped about? I don ’t mind going along to take a look, ” said Wind Spirit.
She had always been a curious one.

And so long as Wind Spirit was willing to go, there wasn ’t even a point in asking Dondon.
The only thing he wanted was to spend all his time with Wind Spirit.
I could see that Zhang Xingxing had reached a decision after confirming that the two were willing to join the secret mission.

”I am willing to lend you Fearless for the secret mission.
I ’ll also lend you 50 soldiers.
We will reconvene at the predetermined location in 24 hours.
Keep the communication channel open at all times, ” Zhang Xingxing said, agreeing to their request.
I wasn ’t even surprised that she would reach this decision.

And since the commander herself had agreed, I did not disagree.

”You ’re not invited to the secret mission.
Why are you here? ” Zhang Bao ’er suddenly asked Domo.

”This officer is carrying out a classified task.
Only the commander has the clearance to know about my task, ” replied Domo smugly.

”A junior sergeant like you dares to call yourself an officer? You even claim to be equal to the commander? Don ’t you think that ’s a little excessive? ” said Zhang Bao ’er.

”Bao ’er, this is not the time to bicker.
Reconnect with Skyhawk.
We will retreat to Skyhawk.
The two princes will take Fearless, ” I said.

Support us at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

At that time, I noticed Prince Toruse rejecting Baron Sisse ’s offer to help with the secret mission.

”Just what are the two princes planning? Just like that, they took one of our ships away.
And Zhang Xingxing even agreed! ” I was still doubtful.

But since the decision had been made, there was nothing I could do.
Zhang Bao ’er and Lin Feixue worked together to have the docking bridges link up again.
At the same time, we picked 50 capable soldiers to help the princes with their mission.
In less than 10 minutes, the bridges were connected.
We started moving out, leaving Fearless to the princes.

”Princes, we will be moving out.
I look forward to hearing good news from you.
Please return safely with Fearless and the crew members, ” said Zhang Xingxing.

The princes promised firmly that they would return safely.
We then walked through the bridge and entered Skyhawk.

The moment we were inside, Zhang Bao ’er said, ”Commander Zhang Bao ’er, why did you agree to let them go with our ship? With the strength they have, I don ’t think they will be able to complete their mission safely. ”

Zhang Xingxing calmly looked at Fearless ’s withdrawing bridge without saying anything.
I understood how she felt.
She had chosen to believe in the two princes and was waiting for the two to bring everyone an unexpected miracle.
