old light morning light

Chapter 75 "33"

With the towering commercial towers and the endless traffic, there is a vast and prosperous scene in front of you.

"The central city of Toliman is also the capital of the largest province in East [-]E Region, Toliman Province."

"Because it was the base camp of the rebels a long time ago, so it can be regarded as another capital here to a certain extent."

Is it just calling the stronghold of the Resistance Army the "capital"?

Although there are elements introduced for me, but it is more or less inappropriate in the public eye.

Because calling the losers of history "rebels" and then calling this place "the capital" in front of the winners, wouldn't both sides be offended at the same time...

How about changing the topic quickly, even if there is nothing to do now, there is no guarantee that someone will hear it again later.

"Look!"

At this time, some pedestrians on the street pointed to the sky, and we saw the "shooting star" flashing across the sky again.

Is it another Alliance destroyer taking off?
"I don't know what happened today, it seems..."

"Ding ding~!"

"...Ding~!"

Just when Eiffel was about to say something, his personal terminal and I sounded a message notification at the same time.

It should be said... It seems that the passers-by on the street have simultaneously notified that they have received the message at this moment.

It's a group message, and the sender is Beria?

Demanding that we immediately...seek asylum?

"Go, Lin Man! Go!"

Wait... Hey!

"Wait……!"

For a moment, a strong pulling force came from my hand, and I, who hadn't even read the news, could only subconsciously run along.

Meteors streaked across the sky again, but the difference was that this time the meteors dragged their long tails and slammed straight into the ground, slightly yellowing.

that is……?
"...Recently, guerrilla fleets of the empire have often appeared near here..."

Suddenly recalled what Eiffel said before in his mind.

Alliance warship, was... sunk near here?
The holographic projection road signs on the street flashed a dazzling red light, and various facilities began to operate at full capacity and began to instruct the crowd to evacuate.

Has it reached such a level?
It's time to evacuate the population on the planet. This should be considered a very serious situation.

Basically, it can be considered that the imperial fleet in the sky already has the ability to strike the ground?
I didn't feel any movement of ground-to-air weapons, nor did I see other alliance troops take off to fight.

What exactly happened here?
When I looked up, I saw Eiffel was still holding my hand, awkwardly passing through the dazzling holographic projection fence.

"Hey, did we run away?"

But what makes me curious is that Eiffel doesn't seem to run according to the arrow indicated by the holographic projection, but pulls me to run into one interval after another separated by the projection.

"Go first, we have to go back first!"

Go back first?
Can we go back like this?

If you look at it this way, facilities such as the subway should also be shut down for evacuation, right?
"How do we go back!"

"The subway or something should have been out of service!"

Seemingly realizing that what I said seemed to have some truth, Eiffel, who was just running with his head buried in his head, suddenly stood still, as if he had lost the meaning of living.

"Then let's go to the shelter first?"

Although I don't know why he is so anxious to rush back, but since the goal can no longer be achieved, it is more important to solve the immediate problem first.

"Well, let's go!"

This kind of large modern city has built quite complete equipment in all aspects, and in almost every large commercial complex, people can find shelters for people to hide from.

Interracial?

Seeing them makes me think of Gollum.

Apart from "human beings" like me running on the road, there are also quite a few alien races.

Although many aliens like to wear robes, their obvious appearance differences not only help us to identify them, but also bring considerable discrimination to them.

This is unavoidable, even among us humans there are countless discriminations.

But going back to the present, such discrimination is only due to the fact that we have entered the age of navigation earlier than them, and have the ability to freely roam the starry sky.

Now they are aliens, and at the same time they are slaves...

When will it be our turn again?

"What shall we do now?"

Seeing the senior brother running out of breath, he could only pat him on the back helplessly, so he should be able to catch his breath, right?
"Ugh... ho ho!"

But the person in front of me can only pant like Moral, according to my experience, it seems that he can't give me a serious answer for a while.

It is very wide and can accommodate a considerable number of people. Although it is not divided into several small areas like mainstream protection facilities, there is no sense of suffocation, which means that everything here is working well.

Although it can't provide enough shelter in the current violent situation of weapons, at least it is better than nothing, at least it can provide reliable life support.

Eiffel is constantly operating something on the terminal, although the distance is not very far, but the disadvantage of the reflection of the screen is that I can only feel it through guesswork-his current state does not seem to be very good.

I seem to have seen him in such a state somewhere, it seems that he is anxious about something, or afraid of something?
"That, brother?"

Are you hiding something from me...

"It's okay, I'm just feeling a little scared."

Even if he asked, he wouldn't tell me, would he?

But I think he should explain it to me, but now that there are so many people here, it's not a good time to ask these questions.

It seems that he should be contacting someone, it should be Mr. Pruss.

Then he rushed back so anxiously just now, probably because he wanted to get back to Prussian side as soon as possible, right?
Then that would make sense.

Although it's just me thinking wildly all the time, combined with his current state, it makes me feel very curious again.

What is it?
I was restless, I felt like I was worried about something, my eyes were wandering, although I could respond to my actions, but the logic of my words was greatly reduced, and I even wanted to take the subway back immediately.

The reason for these things is that the guerrillas of the empire entered the airspace of the planet. So all this has something to do with the empire?

At least it is directly related to the small group of enemies rushing in.

But still why?
People ran past from time to time. Although the scattered crowd kept making noisy noises, with the help of some police-like people, there was still a certain order in the end.

There were no violent explosions or other abnormal noises from outside.

Gee!
Following Eiffel's passive movement, my thoughts were interrupted again.

There is still too little information now, and I can't understand why Eiffel would be so nervous when the imperial armed forces appeared.

Moreover, it is reasonable to say that only a small light fleet can enter the deep space behind the enemy, and it is impossible to dare to sink the alliance warship in the low-earth orbit of the planet...

Could it be that they feel that it is aimed at them... Then if they think so, they have to ask why?

Are the things related to them at this stage research-related?
Or is the empire curious about the research results of a certain image of Mr. Pruss?
If that's the case, then regardless of the previous reaction, at least they should be very nervous the first time we see the Alliance warship take off, right?
It's even more impossible to let Eiffel take me wandering out here...

So at first they didn't think the target would be themselves, then...

Now is also the time period when the colleges of the alliance start recruiting students. Could it be because of this?
"Ok?"

Before he knew it, Eiffel had put down the terminal in his hand, and now he was looking at me squatting by the wall.

"Brother, what's wrong with me?"

It seems that the matter at hand has been dealt with, and now Eiffel looks much calmer, at least his brows are no longer frowning.

Since you don't want to talk to me, don't keep looking at me!

"Is everything settled?"

"Um……"

It turned out that I was still thinking about things, I blamed him wrongly...

"Don't you think it's weird?"

After being interrupted by me from thinking, Eiffel also walked to my side and squatted down together.

"We are running around in such a hurry, so there is still something wrong?"

It looks like he wants to explain the situation to me.

"Didn't it come out from the empire before that our alliance troops attacked the settlements of the empire?"

"Ah."

"Now they have launched what they call 'resistance' operations, using guerrilla fleets to attack some coalition facilities in non-sensitive areas."

Is this an act of revenge, or a form of acting?

What, it's surprisingly in line with my style of doing things.

"So you're afraid of them attacking us here?"

That shouldn't be the case, if he was also afraid that Teacher Pruss would be attacked, he shouldn't be in such a hurry to go back, at least he wouldn't change his face so much that he would lose his mind, right?
"No, no, I suddenly thought of something before."

"one thing?"

"Before there was an alliance light passenger ship in the UUI galaxy, which was sunk by the empire's guerrilla fleet while sailing, did you know?"

A passenger ship sunk by an imperial guerrilla fleet, but what does that have to do with the present?

Was it a high-value passenger on board... an act of assassination?
"I don't know, does this have something to do with our current situation?"

"The passenger ship that was sunk was the student ship of the Alliance University of Mines..."
