Chapter 1613 The Uninvited Visitors from Mars
"Sister Lin Mingmei!"
As Rita curiously observed the crimson scenery around her, she suddenly spotted Lin Mingmei smiling at them. She immediately exclaimed in surprise and lunged forward, only to be blocked halfway by Xiaoya and Xiaoying.
"Forehead···"
Seeing the two "friendly-looking" little ones staring intently at her, Rita smiled obsequiously and quickly looked at He Ming.
He Ming pointed to his chest, and Rita immediately understood.
As she raised her hand and gently pressed it against her chest, the Baxia armor on her body suddenly contracted, transforming back into its crystal form.
Immediately afterwards, Xiaoya and Xiaoying crossed their arms and looked Rita up and down.
"A new partner?"
Xiaoya asked in a crisp voice.
Xiaoying nodded repeatedly.
"My name is Rita Bister. Hello! Hmm, I don't think I've seen you before."
Although the two little ones looked a bit fierce, Rita actually found them very cute and adorable, and fell in love with them at first sight.
"They are Xiaoya and Xiaoying. They were adopted by chance after He Ming and I left."
Lin Mingmei reached out and pulled Xiaoya and Xiaoying into her arms, introducing them with a smile.
"Were they adopted by your older brother and sister?"
Rita's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.
She took out the candy she usually used to tease Banagher from her pocket and waved it in front of Xiaoya and Xiaoying.
"Do you like it? Call me auntie and I'll treat you to some delicious candy."
Little did they know, Xiaoya and Xiaoying were not fooled at all, and they both turned their heads away, refusing to look at the candy in Rita's hand.
"They just ate a lot of snacks, they shouldn't be hungry now!"
Lin Mingmei came to the rescue.
Rita took back the candy and said casually.
"Then, I'll bring them some delicious snacks later! Michelle, didn't you say last time that von Braun's place had opened a few new pastry shops?"
"Ahem. Rita. I don't think Xiaoya and Xiaoying are eating because they're full."
Michelle reminded him helplessly.
Because of her grandson Banagher, Rita often teases children and asks them to call her aunt.
"is it?"
Rita pursed her lips.
"Never mind! We'll play again later, Mingmei-neechan. I'm going to take care of something for my older brother now."
"Okay, I'll have someone arrange rooms for you."
Lin Mingmei nodded, exchanged a glance with He Ming, and then left with Xiao Ya and Xiao Ying.
"Alright! Now, we need to deal with the problem of the Zeon remnants."
He Ming clapped his hands and explained the reason for inviting Rebil, Lydia, and Michelle to Mars.
"Zeon remnants? Zeon remnants on Mars? Are they the Independent Zeon Army?"
Reibir's gaze sharpened, and he immediately revealed the intelligence regarding the remnants of the Martian Zeon.
Unfortunately, after He Ming arrived on Mars and took control of the Versailles Empire, he did not find any trace or intelligence of the independent Zeon forces on Mars.
Apart from the ancient Martian ruins associated with the mobile battleship Nadesico and the ultra-ancient ruins possessed by the Viser Empire, there is nothing else on Mars.
"No. It's not the Martian Independent Zeon Army. Rather, it's an entity in the space region where Mars is located that is connected to the remnants of Zeon." He Ming uttered a name.
"Axis. My transport fleet encountered Axis in its orbit around Mars."
"Axis?!"
A glint of light flashed in Rebil's eyes.
"Didn't you find any trace of Axis when you were on Jupiter?"
"No. It's not that we didn't discover it. It's just that while we were fighting the enemy, Axis seemed to have noticed it beforehand and withdrew from the region where Jupiter is located."
While He Ming was explaining, the intelligent AI cube Adino also released a scene through the communication system of the Baxia armor, showing Axis leaving Jupiter's orbit and heading to Mars.
Seeing this, Rebil revealed a slightly amused expression.
"I didn't expect that not only would you scare me away on Jupiter, but you would also stop me here on Mars."
"It's just a coincidence. I didn't originally plan to take action on Mars so soon."
He Ming shrugged and said.
According to the original plan, He Ming would not begin his plans for Mars until the Jupiter outpost was completed.
Unexpectedly, the Shadow Fiend drones that had gone ahead to Mars to scout ahead discovered the existence of the Viser Empire.
Thus, everything was brought forward, and in a very coincidental and subtle way, Axis, who was trying to escape from Jupiter to Mars, was stopped.
To understand the reason, we have to start with the MACROSS Quarter, which escorted the transport fleet.
Perhaps it's because words become law?
Perhaps it was just a matter of luck?
Before setting sail, Jeffrey Wilder and his crew were joking about whether He Ming would once again shock them. However, when they exited the FLOD jump tunnel, they were startled by the piercing shrill sound of the radar.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any enemies appearing in the planetary region that He Ming has already taken control of.
But the piercing radar beeping told them that a huge hidden danger was lurking near the transport fleet.
"Ram, send the Skull Squad on an immediate attack and make contact with the General right away. Monica, double-check the radar information. Bobby, get ready!"
"Yes, Captain!"
At Jeffrey Wilder's command, everyone sprang into action.
The bridge goes without saying.
Meanwhile, in the hangar, Ozma, who was temporarily missing his wingman Killian, directly led Michelle and Kuka onto his fighter jet.
"Captain, shouldn't we add some more players?"
Michelle said casually as she started up the machine.
"What are you talking about? Killian is just in the hospital. He's not dead yet!"
Ozma retorted irritably.
Michelle shrugged and continued.
"Captain, look. Under General He's leadership, our combat missions have visibly increased. If Luca and I both end up in the hospital with Killian on the next mission, will the Skull Squad just disband?"
Ozma was speechless for a moment.
"Nonsense! Focus on the mission! The transport fleet needs our cover before it completes its landing operation!"
Michelle and Luca exchanged glances across the screen and immediately responded.
"Yes! Captain!"
The reason Michelle said this was, of course, because she had heard from some sources that her friend, the princess, was undergoing special training in preparation for joining the new unified army.
In order to prevent that "princess" from becoming a weak new unified princess, Michelle felt obligated to bring that guy over here and let him experience the tempering of war!
"Skull Squad! Attention! The target appearing ahead of our fleet is a rapidly moving satellite fortress. Its identity is unknown, but a large number of military facilities can be observed on its surface. Therefore, we preliminarily determine that it poses a certain degree of danger and is highly likely to affect the landing operations of our transport fleet."
