Chapter 1870
Beatrice? No, I'm Maid Lian!
Chapter 1870 Beatrice? No, I'm Maid Lian!
Beatrice Bremey is the commander of the Werewolf Tactical Machine Squadron under the Stasi, and a terrifying executioner in the Stasi's ranks.
This is Alice's perception of this former acquaintance, now her enemy.
However, the killer who so readily murders the innocent, coldly ignores the pleas of the fugitives, and ruthlessly orders a massacre, would one day don a maid's outfit and stand respectfully beside He Ming, truthfully answering her questions.
But Alicetina had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration swept through her mind, dispelling all the fog and prompting Alice to turn her gaze to the Venerable Gundam, who stood quietly to the side.
That's a mobile suit, and even a mobile suit with the name Gundam!
Judging from the skill level she displayed, Beatrice is probably a much more skilled pilot than Alice, a novice MS user.
That power, capable of unleashing a terrifying attack like a nuclear bomb in the blink of an eye, was something Alice Tina, or rather, the former Stasi, had never imagined.
If Beatrice Bremee in Alicetina's memories truly possessed such terrifying power, then the Stasi would likely be doomed.
“My name is now Lian. The name Beatrice-Brame has been lost along with that hopeless world.”
While Alice was pondering Beatrice's origins, Beatrice offered an explanation.
“Alice Tina Bernhard, my old friend! You are indeed very lucky. At the time when the world was destroyed, you were able to meet this great man among countless fragments of the world.”
"Colonel Ming? Beatrice, you've known the Colonel for a long time?"
Alice Tina exclaimed in surprise.
"Very early, much earlier than you can imagine, Alice. The things hidden in this world far exceed your imagination. Even though you have made up your mind to follow this great one, what you can see is only a tiny fraction of the world's true size!"
"Cough. Lian, don't frighten Alice."
When He Ming saw that the usually composed and well-mannered maid Lian was gradually going in the direction of chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur), he quickly spoke up to remind her.
"Oh. I lost my composure. I'm sorry!"
The maid, Lian, quickly bowed and apologized.
Her elegant and proper demeanor once again refreshed Alice's understanding of the werewolf mobile tactical squadron leader.
“As I said, Beatrice is dead. The woman standing before you now is Lian, a maid under the care of the castle’s master.”
Lian glanced at Alice, gave another reminder, and then respectfully asked He Ming.
"Sir, where were we?"
"Yes, speaking of the castle's attack on the interstellar fortress held by the Tahuanga clan."
He Ming nodded and said.
Although the reason is still unknown, Lian's arrival did give He Ming the opportunity to learn the details of the war that swept across the entire Star Sea.
"Yes. At that time, I was ordered by my master to participate in a decapitation operation against the general of Tahuanga as an assault soldier. When the mission was launched, our operation went very smoothly. No matter how Tahuanga guarded against the strongmen of our castle, they could not withstand the attack of the decapitation squad personally selected by my master."
"After we succeeded and were preparing to leave, we unexpectedly discovered that the Ghostface Gang had left the Tahuanga interstellar fortress just before we broke through Tahuanga's defenses. So, after urgently consulting with our master, the decapitation squad disbanded on the spot and, acting individually, pursued the various Ghostface Gang leaders along the possible escape routes." "And then, you ended up here?"
As He Ming listened to Lian recount the details of that interstellar war, he also began to have a vague guess about the actions of the Ghost Face Clan.
"Are you suggesting, sir, that the masked officers deliberately lured us into a trap, which is why they gave themselves away?"
Lian smiled slightly and said softly.
“Indeed, that is possible. When I consulted my master, he also instructed us to be wary of enemy ambushes. Fortunately, after penetrating deep behind Tahuanga’s defenses for some time, I successfully tracked down the Ghost Face cadre and launched a surprise attack while he was distracted.”
"Did you succeed?"
"Yes! But when I killed the opponent, a black hole suddenly appeared and sucked me and the opponent's corpse in at once. When I regained consciousness, I was already here."
As Lian spoke, she slightly raised her hand, showing He Ming the ghost-faced corpses she had obtained.
In the blink of an eye, a corpse wearing a demon mask with long horns on its head, a ferocious and terrifying face, and eyes as big as copper bells fell to the ground.
He Ming looked at it for a moment, then squatted down to reach out and remove the demon mask, but Lian stopped him.
"Sir, please be careful! In previous battles, we have captured members of the Ghost Face Gang and similar incidents have occurred. However, in many cases, if the masks are removed without proper handling, it may trigger certain self-destruct mechanisms."
Upon hearing this, He Ming immediately showed a hint of displeasure.
"I didn't expect them to be so secretive, never showing their faces, and even including things after death in their plans?"
"Fine! I won't reveal it then."
He Ming waved his hand and asked again.
"So what are you going to do now? Find a way back to Xinghai? Or stay here and help me?"
Although Ren's true identity is Beatrice-Brame, that is in the past. The amazing combat power that the maid Ren is now displaying is probably among the top combat power in the castle, or even the Hyperdimensional Fortress.
If we can get her to stay, it will likely make things much easier in the subsequent battle for Level 6 HIVE.
"Yes. Stay here for now and help the adults deal with these bugs! Otherwise, they'll continue to use the G elements here to create things that are unpleasant to people."
As if she had seen through He Ming's thoughts, or perhaps it was also what she herself was thinking, the maid Lian did not hesitate to help He Ming after hearing He Ming's question.
“Very good! Next, our target is that Level 6 HIVE. Ren, did you find anything in the occupied zone?”
In response to He Ming's question, Lian smiled and raised her hand. A projection screen shot out from the brooch she was wearing, condensing into a huge map in front of He Ming and Alice.
Upon closer inspection, the two realized that it was a map related to the BETA-occupied zone on the floating continent.
On this projected map, everything is clearly visible, whether it's areas easily spotted by satellites or BETA in underground tunnels that satellites cannot observe.
At this moment, He Ming finally understood why BETA had gathered such a terrifyingly large force to besiege Lian!
Everything's done! Regular updates will resume tomorrow!
