Lawn smiled and said nothing, watching quietly as Gray picked up the wine glass, put it in front of his visor and smelled it.
Although he couldn't see Gray's expression under his visor, Lawn could guarantee that he must be very intoxicated.
Then Gray opened his visor and drank all the wine in the glass: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... What is this... Emperor..."
Gray was shocked and stunned by the delicious taste of the wine. He timidly enjoyed the pleasure and did not dare to indulge in it.
"Poor man." Lawn smiled and shook his head. "It's just a wine made from fruits. It's a trivial luxury. Of course, for a layman like you, it's still a delicacy that even a nester like you wouldn't dare to dream about."
After saying that, Lawn made a move that shocked Gray. He gave away all the remaining half bottles of fruit wine.
"Thank you, sir." Gray took the fruit wine with both hands and carefully placed it in the jetpack.
At this time, the relationship between the two has also become closer, and Gray is no longer as hostile to Lawn as before.
Lawn first looked at Gray's attitude, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided to go further: "You know, the wife of the governor's cousin is my sister, and I..."
"Why was a noble like you also sold out?" Gray interrupted Lawn and asked.
"Everything is the Marshal's fault. He underestimated the enemy and rushed in. This has nothing to do with the Governor." Lawn first answered the question, and then continued to say what he wanted to say: "If we go out from here, I will recommend you to the Planetary Defense Force. General."
After hearing this, Gray raised his head and looked directly at Lawn, his eyes under the visor full of desire.
Becoming a general is something that soldiers in the lower nest can't even imagine.
Gray knew that this meant that he could become a noble, take his family and friends away from the lower nest like a cesspit, and become a family in the clean and tidy upper nest area.
"But you know." Lawn knew that Gray had been persuaded, "This is an exchange of interests, and you must also provide something, something that seems insignificant to me, but is extremely important at this moment. "
"What is it?" Gray asked.
"Loyal," Lawn replied.
"..." Gray did not continue to respond. He lowered his head and pondered.
Seeing his hesitation, Laun was not anxious at all. As a nobleman who was proficient in conspiracy, he had a hundred ways to tactfully test out Gray's thoughts.
In Lawn's opinion, Gray is just limited by useless interpersonal relationships and unable to make rational judgments and decisions about his future.
All it takes is a little testing.
"You don't have to be so anxious to give me an answer." Raun smiled and shook his head, "I will go to other positions to inspect and tell the soldiers in other positions that a person who can truly accept the command of the entire defense line has appeared, and that is I, I want them to know this clearly.”
Gray listened quietly.
"If you are willing, you can bring your power armor and other warriors like you and come with me." Lawn continued.
After making the request, Lawn waited quietly for Gray's reply.
If Gray nods in agreement, it means that he longs for power and status. Although he is still unable to break away from useless interpersonal relationships and cannot make up his mind to betray Qin Mo, sooner or later he will stand with himself.
Under the visor of the power armor, Gray's expression was very complicated. After thinking deeply for a long time, he stood up and walked to the door.
Laun was disappointed and thought that Gray wanted to reject him, but Gray immediately opened the door and made a gesture of invitation: "I should obey your order, sir."
"Very good, soldier!" Lawn was very satisfied and walked out of the room with a smile.
In the corridor, Lawn strode forward with his hands behind his back, his aura becoming domineering as Gray followed behind him.
Lawn was so happy that he didn't notice and couldn't notice how fierce Gray's expression was under his visor.
……
next door.
Riley also has a room of her own. This room existed before the building was expanded into a fortress. It has a bedroom and bathroom with complete facilities.
Since there is even a water supply in the fortress now, just turn on the faucet and water that can be used for bathing will flow out. The water has a strong smell of filter, but what else can you ask for in this bottom nest?
Riley locked the door, took a shower and lay on the mat, recalling everything she had experienced today.
Then Riley thought of the scene when Qin Mo took off his mask to reveal his true appearance when he was sent back.
This man gave her a special feeling.
It's not a feeling of love, nor reverence or gratitude, but a familiar face, as if I've seen it before somewhere.
Out of the professional habits of an intelligence officer of the Ministry of Justice, Riley took out her personal information terminal and looked up the name Qin Mo in the information database of the Ministry of Justice.
There is only one such weird name in the hive, and the person who named it is in the information database of the Ministry of Justice.
[Name: Qin Mo]
[Prisoner number: No. 444. 】
[Reason for arrest: Uncertified psyker, attempting to use psychic powers to murder others. 】
Under this string of information was a photo of Qin Mo, who looked very bad when he was caught and photographed by people from the Ministry of Justice.
"No. 444!" Riley took a breath and closed the information terminal hard, trembling all over.
She remembered where she had seen Qin Mo.
When arresting Qin Mo!
It was precisely because of her participation in the dangerous operation to capture Qin Mo that Riley was qualified to be promoted to an intelligence agent. When Qin Mo was arrested, she was watching, but she only saw a glimpse.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Riley quickly put on her clothes, opened the door, and walked towards the room where Rao En was. He had to report to Rao En that Qin Mo was a prisoner.
But when he walked to the door of Lawn's room and pushed in, he saw no one.
"Laun took Gray out." Grote, who took over Gray's patrol on the first floor, came over and looked down at Riley in the power armor.
"Good evening, sir, can you take me to the legion commander?" Riley requested very respectfully.
"If you have anything, please report it directly to Qin Mo." Grote said.
"Sorry, but I really have something important to do."
"Do you know where the leader of the rebels is or something? Otherwise, don't talk nonsense. You're a guy from the Legal Department who has a lot of weird things going on."
"Please...sir..."
"..."
"Why don't you let me take you to find Lawn?"
A voice that sounded absolutely terrifying to Riley sounded from behind.
Riley turned around tremblingly and saw Qin Mo.
Qin Mo smiled very gentlemanly and stretched out his hand like a good man: "Come on, madam, I will take you to find Lao En."
"I'm not looking for the legion commander anymore." Riley shook her head vigorously, trying to walk back to the room as if nothing happened.
But Qin Mo blocked her path and ordered in an irresistible tone: "You don't have to ask for help, but you must come with me."
Chapter 22 "Death in Battle"
……
Laun didn't know what happened at this time. He was walking on the road to the bottom of the nest under Gray's escort.
"I thought I was doomed, but I didn't expect that someone would integrate all the positions on the defense line. It's really the emperor's blessing."
"Yes."
"You must have been fighting for a long time. Is the power armor on your body an ancient relic dug out of the bottom nest?"
"Yes."
"You guys are so lucky."
"Yes."
Lawn said and Gray listened, and the two walked forward.
After walking a certain distance, Lawn suddenly felt tired. He turned around and asked Gray: "Why don't you call the transport plane? How long does it take for us to walk? I'm afraid we can't finish it in a year."
"Yes." Gray nodded again as before, but this time Laun was angered.
Before, Lawn could think that Gray was struggling in his heart, so he was not in the mood to talk nonsense. It didn't matter if he kept saying yes.
But now that we were talking about business, Gray still said yes, which was unbearable.
"Watch your attitude, soldier." Lawn reminded.
"Yes." Gray raised his hand and called the unmanned transport plane, "The transport plane will be here soon."
"Hmph." Lawn thought to himself, that's pretty much it.
While waiting for the transport plane to arrive, Gray suddenly asked: "Did you know that Qin Mo is actually a prisoner, a psychic prisoner."
"Yeah." Lawn nodded calmly at first, and then looked at Gray in shock: "Huh?!"
"Qin Mo is not even a soldier, he is just a prisoner, a prisoner assigned to the 44th Regiment." Gray said.
"..." Lao En shook his head in shock. He never dreamed that Qin Mo was actually a prisoner.
How could a prisoner lead soldiers in battle?
"Actually, this war has nothing to do with Qin Mo." Gray continued, "The reason why he was imprisoned was because he didn't want to be hunted. Why should he fight for this planet, why should he lead us to fight, and why should we ask He has to be on our side instead of joining the rebels to kill us all?"
Lawn listened quietly and understood what Gray wanted to express.
That is, Qin Mo actually has nothing to do with this war. There is only one reason why he is willing to participate in the war, and that is that he is selfless and just.
Then Lawn felt hairy all over, he didn't know why Gray said this.
"Qin Mo protects us and leads us in battle."
"Groat once cursed him because he did not contribute when building the bunker, but after the 44th Regiment was almost completely wiped out until a few days ago, Grote still got the power armor and was not ostracized or retaliated against."
"He supported all positions in need along the entire line, supplying those who were running out of ammunition and food."
After talking a lot more, Gray looked up.
The unmanned transport aircraft has already flown over and is floating in the sky using anti-gravity engines.
Gray suddenly took off and jumped onto the platform of the transport plane with the help of his jetpack. Then he took off his mask and looked down at Lawn.
The transport plane was rising slowly, and Gray stared at Lawn with his hair blown by the air current, while shouting loudly: "Remember my face, remember that I executed you!"
"Wait!" Lao En raised his hands, "Don't be impulsive, we can talk!"
As he finished speaking, the shoulder cannon fired a beam.
