The Last Cat in the Universe
Chapter 68
Before Yue An could reach the deck, he was stopped by the commander of the First Army and brought to the command room.
Yue An, who was about to rush out to capture the enemy, followed the commander of the First Army into the command room in a daze.
In the command room, besides the commander of the First Army and two messengers, there were also projections of the commanders of the Fourth and Seventh Armies.
They were in charge of two different corvettes, so only their projections could be seen on the Marshal Class flagship.
After they split up, the three of them followed Ji Xiuyun.
Other than the commander of the Sixth Army, who had set off with the logistics team, the other three commanders took a different route.
Ji Xiuyun didn't even need to be involved in a battle of this scale. He didn't even need to appear in the command room.
He trusted the capabilities of his subordinates. After Yue An hopped out, Ji Xiuyun casually turned on the surveillance camera in the command room. He even leisurely looked at the information on the history of the evolution of words.
In the command room, there were two projections of each of the three army commanders gathered together to look at the situation outside.
Yue An glanced at the panoramic view in the command room. When he saw the projection of the battle, he gasped in surprise.
Wasn't this one of the battle formations he had mentioned to the commanders before?
The one that came from the mysterious staff officer … How many battles was it again?
Yue An couldn't remember this kind of thing very clearly.
He went through it in his mind and realized that he couldn't remember it. He decided not to think about it and walked over to the three commanders.
"Wow, Yue An, you're here!"
The projection of the commander of the Seventh Army came to his side and happily pointed at the projection. "I've been thinking about this for a few days. Let me try it out this time!"
"I don't know what they're thinking. How can a vanguard army with so few people face our regular army?" The commander of the Fourth Army clicked his tongue.
"Doesn't the Free Army's staff officer like to use a maze strategy that we've never seen before to win a battle with a small number of troops?" The commander of the Seventh Army answered without thinking. "That's amazing."
Yue An listened and turned to look at the First Legion Commander who had captured him.
The First Legion General also looked at him and asked in a low voice, "Can you please stay and keep an eye on them?"
The First Legion Commander was still a little worried.
Unlike Ji Xiuyun, who was confident in his own strength and believed that no one could stop him, the First Legion Commander was the true deputy of the Marshal. He had to worry about the advancement and retreat of the entire legion.
With such a confident and powerful superior, although it was indeed reassuring, as Ji Xiuyun didn't really like to care about the trivial matters of the army, the First Corps Commander who bore such a heavy responsibility always thought about things more comprehensively and appropriately.
Although this battle formation had been practiced many times on the sand table, this was the first time it was used in a real battle. Out of caution, he hoped that Yue An could watch from the side.
After all, these things were taught to them by Yue An after he had thought it through.
Yue An puffed up his cheeks slightly.
He wanted to drive his mecha out and see if he could catch the person he wanted to catch.
Yue An looked at the simulation projection and then looked at the First Legion Commander. He was a little unwilling.
But even if he was unwilling, he still had to agree. He was now holding the position of Ji Xiuyun's assistant. Although it was just in name, his actions also symbolized a part of Ji Xiuyun's prestige.
The First Legion Commander was already giving him a lot of face by being willing to negotiate.
Yue An was just about to nod his head in agreement when the messenger made a report.
The three Legion Commanders and the Marshal's deputy all looked over at the same time.
Being stared at like this, the messenger couldn't help but shrink his neck. After realizing that something was wrong, he straightened his back and put on the posture that a soldier should have.
"Reporting to the Legion Commander!
The enemy has sent a communication request! "
Yue An and the other Legion Commanders looked at each other in confusion.
The Seventh Legion Commander was very confused. "Surrender?
Ask for peace?
Negotiate? "
It was very rare to ask for communication before a battle.
Usually, as long as they weren't mortal enemies, both sides would keep a communication channel open before a battle so that the other side could contact them and ask for peace or negotiate.
Although it was the victor's right to accept a peace request and negotiate, under normal circumstances, the communication channel would be sent when one side was clearly on the losing side.
It was very rare to send a communication channel before a battle.
"They already dared to send their vanguard troops to face our main force. It's not surprising that they would send a communication channel before a battle." The Fourth Legion Commander said as he signaled for the messenger to accept the communication channel.
The communication channel was just a voice call. After the call was connected, neither side spoke.
The dynasty's regular army wasn't in a hurry at all. They were very relaxed as they waited for the other side to speak. However, their actions were to send a message to their vanguard troops and logistics troops to ask if they were safe.
After receiving an affirmative response, the First Legion Commander made a silent gesture. The messenger explained the situation here and said that they didn't need any reinforcements.
It wasn't just Ji Xiuyun who had a strange confidence in himself. The soldiers under his command also had a strange confidence in him.
It was as if as long as Ji Xiuyun was here, they would be invincible and invincible.
The messenger didn't hesitate at all when the higher-ups told him that they didn't need any reinforcements.
They were the Army of the War God!
The Marshal was even on the flagship. What did they have to be afraid of?
Whatever the Legion Commander said, it was what it was.
They didn't need any reinforcements. That was how confident they were.
In the end, the ones who took the initiative to speak were the Free Army that surrounded the fleet.
They didn't know that the command center had rejected the request for reinforcements. They were also worried that if they delayed for too long, reinforcements from the vanguard troops would arrive and surround them.
A hoarse male voice came from the communication channel. "Negotiate."
The First Legion Commander raised his eyebrows. "Negotiate what?"
"We can retreat, but we have a request." The person on the other side of the communication channel said.
His tone was neither fast nor slow. It was as if he was planning a strategy.
When the youngest Legion Commander of the Seventh Legion heard this, he felt a surge of anger.
This group of people really stood on the side of the victor and made conditions?
The war hadn't even started yet!
Who gave them the courage!
He turned his head and glanced at the First Legion Commander, who shook his head slightly. He held back his words and didn't say anything. However, his actions were very clear.
He took off his military uniform and put on his combat uniform from a place that Yue An couldn't see.
If the Marshal was here, he would have hung up the communication channel and gone to f * cking hell.
He muttered in his heart.
The voice on the other side of the communication channel said, "We want that cat."
When Yue An heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Oh."
The Legion Commander of the Seventh Legion, who had just put on his combat uniform, was so angry that he wanted to laugh.
Although he was a little traumatized by that cat, no matter what, it was still Ji Xiuyun's cat!
It was the cat that saved Ji Xiuyun's life!
You want our Marshal's cat?
Keep on dreaming!
The Legion Commander of the Fourth Legion, who knew that the cat was a human, turned his head and looked at Yue An.
The Legion Commander of the First Legion also looked at Yue An, who seemed to know something. He gave him a questioning look.
Yue An pointed at himself and then at the communication channel.
The Legion Commander of the First Legion thought for a moment and nodded.
In the next second, Yue An immediately hung up the communication channel. He pressed the button on the communication channel of the mecha clans that were already prepared for battle on the deck.
"Attack!
F * * k them! "
The mecha clans wouldn't question the orders from the command center. The moment the order was given, the mecha clans immediately activated their mechas and rushed out of the deck without hesitation.
Yue An waved his hand at the stunned Legion Commander of the Seventh Legion. "Commander, I'll patch you up."
The Legion Commander of the Seventh Legion, who had just changed into his combat uniform, immediately reacted. He looked at the situation and gave out a series of orders without stopping. The two messengers quickly opened up the communication channel and gave out the orders.
The Legion Commander of the First Legion felt that he was about to suffocate.
This was because this operation was so familiar to him. It made him feel as if he saw his own Marshal who didn't follow the rules when he was commanding. He just liked to lead his troops and rush forward.
The Legion Commander of the First Legion, who was used to being cautious, was harmed by Ji Xiuyun.
Now, from the looks of it, he was afraid that he would be harmed by Ji Xiuyun's students.
The Legion Commander of the First Legion felt his vision turning dark.
Yue An was still patching up the Legion Commander of the Seventh Legion softly. His gaze was fixed on the battlefield as he held the communicator in his hand.
Ji Xiuyun sat in his office. He raised his head and looked at the surveillance screen in the command center. He felt a little heartache for the Legion Commander of the First Legion.
That trace of heartache instantly disappeared without a trace when his gaze returned to the battle.
The Free Army, who was supposed to have the upper hand in this ambush, seemed to have met their nemesis. Their movements were all restricted.
They had just dodged the cannon on the left when the beam blade on the right sliced off half of their mecha's arm. They had just managed to escape from the encirclement of a few people, but as they retreated, they were unknowingly surrounded by the encirclement formed by a few other mechas.
It was as if they had sunk into a swamp. It was difficult to move forward. The more they struggled, the deeper they sank.
This battle, which was neither big nor small, ended five hours later.
The Legion Commander of the Seventh Legion, who was mainly in charge of this battle, had his mind filled with the calculations of the various positions and numbers of people. When Yue An shouted for them to stop, the young Legion Commander immediately fell to the ground. It was as if his soul had left his body.
After the call connected, Yue An was in a very good mood. Even his tone was light and lively. "Let's negotiate!"
The other end of the communicator was silent.
Yue An pulled a chair over and sat down. He said, "Question. Are you that staff officer?
I mean … Prophet? "
There was a lot of noise coming from the other end of the communicator.
Yue An heard light breathing sounds.
"No." The person on the other end of the communicator replied.
"Oh." From this reply, it seemed that the staff officer and Prophet were indeed the same person.
Yue An thought about it and said, "Although you're not, we won't retreat. We won't let you go."
"…"
"…"
Both sides of the communicator maintained a slightly awkward silence.
The Legion Commander of the First Legion had never seen such a strange negotiation method.
He loosened the top button of his shirt. He was afraid that he would suffocate to death.
"Then you can send a message to your person now." Yue An said slowly, "If he wants to take the cat away, he has to come here himself."
The other end of the communicator was silent.
"He's not coming. Is it because he's going to die?"
Yue An's tone was very firm. It was as if he had already received the information.
The person on the other end of the communicator was uneasy for a moment. "Why are you …!"
Sure enough, he didn't come to the frontline this time. His body was probably in a bad condition because of the karmic retribution for revealing Heaven's secret.
Yue An stuffed the information into his memo board and continued, "He's going to die. All the more reason for him to come here himself."
"Don't even think about it …"
"It's up to you whether you want to say it or not. Anyway, we're coming to catch you now!
If you don't want to be a captive, you'd better kill yourself as soon as possible. "
Yue An interrupted the other party. His voice was slightly upturned at the end of his sentence. It was obvious that he was very relaxed and happy.
It was as if defeating the vanguard was as easy as playing. The person on the other end of the communicator was very angry.
Yue An quickly hung up the call before the other party scolded him. He delightedly went through the information he just obtained in his mind and wrote down all the relevant guesses in his memo. He then stood up and prepared to go to the cafeteria for lunch without any psychological burden.
"Yue An!" The Legion Commander of the First Legion shouted.
Yue An turned around and looked at him in confusion.
"The information you gave me …"
"Oh!"
Yue An pretended to be enlightened. Then, he quickly threw the blame at Ji Xiuyun.
"Go and ask Ji Xiuyun. Ji Xiuyun taught me to do this!"
Marshal Ji, who was sitting in the office and watching the whole process, was speechless.
What else could he do when the cat threw the blame at him?
Of course, he had to take the blame and forgive him!
