Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 1023 A New Agreement!

As the dusk faded, the mother and son, and the man disappeared from He Ming and Mireille Linke's eyes, and the two of them escaped from the illusion.

"My Lord. Will General Demel be persuaded?"

Mireille Linke asked curiously.

The memories donated by Alyssa Demel were perfect, and it also made Mireille Linke admire Alyssa Demel's behavior of donating her memories without hesitation.

Therefore, she vaguely felt a little reluctant to see Alyssa Demel's contribution go to waste.

"No. I'm afraid it's difficult. Eric Demel's will is extremely strong. You also know that it is impossible to shake his will by relying on illusions constructed from past memories."

He Ming shook his head.

"I'm afraid that after we left, Demel was trying to find a way to wake up his wife, Alisa, and return to reality to complete the battle with the Yamato."

“But, but in this case, wouldn’t Alyssa Demel’s memory be wasted?”

He Ming said with a deep look.

"No, it will not be in vain. At least, at a certain moment, this illusion constructed with Alyssa Demel's memory has become the key to prying Demel's will at some point in the future."

After saying that, He Ming looked at Mireille Linke.

“There’s no need to talk about what happened here. After Demel wakes up Alyssa Demel, you should stop! Next, we have to solve it in reality.”

"Yes, my lord."

Mireille Linke responded.

"Oh, by the way. UX-01 was captured by you?"

Mireille Linke nodded.

"Yes. On board the UX-01 are Yulisa Iskandar, Melda Dietz, the crew of the Yamato, the puppet soldier, and the intelligent puppet (Anino) sent by you, sir."

"Really? Well, I'll have Belfast come over after the battle. Until then, I'm counting on you."

"Yes! Sir."

MACROSS Belfast, in the bridge, He Ming opened his eyes and saw the worried eyes of Sasha and Belfast.

"No, I'm fine. I just need to go out for a while."

He Ming nodded slightly at the two women, then looked at the screen, where the image of Gal Ditz was.

On one side of the image, Alyssa Demel was sleeping in a special hibernation chamber built by Belfast using sea fog technology.

"Major He. What's the situation?"

It can be seen that Gal Dietz also has some expectations.

As Demel's old boss, Gal Dietz knew very well what kind of man Eric Demel was.

"Sorry! I'm afraid I'll have to resort to this last resort."

He Ming shook his head.

Gal Dietz already understood.

He let out a long sigh.

"please!"

"Just do your best!"

A few minutes later, a trail of light golden particles took off from the MACROSS Belfast, and the silent Demeraz also gradually began to move.

"My Lord, I'm sorry! Demel has woken up."

Through Anino, Mireille Linke's information was also delivered to He Ming in a timely manner.

"Understood! UX-01 remains on standby. No intervention is required."

"understand!"

In the bridge of the Demeraz, Demel, who had regained consciousness, looked around and saw soldiers all trapped in the illusion created by Mireille Linke.

His deputy Wade Hedren suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself hard.

Facing Demel's astonished gaze, Wade Hedren pulled the corners of his mouth and wanted to laugh out loud, but immediately groaned in pain from the swollen side of his face.

"Ha...hiss...General, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Demel shook his head and patted his old partner on the shoulder. "No, Hedren, you've done a great job! Next, it's my job. You and the soldiers who have woken up, take those who haven't woken up yet and evacuate!"

Demel's words made Wem Hedren's eyes change, but he did not agree to Demel's request.

"It seems that I have to go to the military court."

Just as Demel was a little surprised, some noises were heard from the surroundings one after another.

This was the sign that after noticing that Demel had woken up, Mireille Linke withdrew her power and no longer had any influence on the Demelaz.

The two of them turned their eyes and saw faces that had woken up from the illusion and saluted Eric Demel with firm expressions.

Needless to say.

Everyone was ready for a court-martial.

"I'm sorry! I have to interrupt this touching moment. Please stop the ship! Your tombstones should not be erected here!"

However, vaguely, everyone noticed that there seemed to be some faint golden glowing particles appearing before their eyes.

"Quick! Evade immediately!"

Demel suddenly realized something, but it was too late.

A strong explosion suddenly came from the rear of the ship.

At the rumbling explosion, Demel realized that the engine of his Demelaz had been destroyed.

"The main engine is damaged, and the power loss is serious! The ship is about to lose power!!"

Before the report was finished, another series of explosion shock waves followed.

This time, on the shaking bridge, Demel saw a platinum-colored figure flying past from the right and swinging his sword to destroy all three turrets in front of the bridge.

"Report the damage!!"

Wim Hedren shouted quickly.

"The ship has lost most of its power and can no longer maintain navigation. The remaining power is only enough to maintain the ship's ecosystem."

"Asshole! Get someone to repair the power system as soon as possible!"

Wim Hedren was halfway through his speech when he was stopped by Demel.

"No, that's enough! The other side won't let the Demeraz move."

"General. We still have a way, don't we?"

Demel shook his head.

"No. There's nothing we can do."

Demel let out a long sigh.

"Since the fleet from Planet Badar arrived, we lost the possibility of victory and the chance to sink the Yamato."

"General! We haven't..."

Wim Hedren looked at Demel in surprise.

Demel gave a self-deprecating smile.

"Are you surprised? Hedron. The 'Cosmic Wolf' can be so embarrassed, isn't it?"

"No, General. I don't think so."

Wim Hedren said quickly.

Demel waved his hand, indicating that Wem Hedren didn't need to explain.

"Send a signal for all ships in the fleet to cease all combat operations, remain on standby, and accept the command of Commander-in-Chief Gal Dietz. From this moment on, this ship and its fleet will no longer conduct combat operations against the Yamato."

After giving the order, Demel closed his eyes and let Wem Hedren arrange the follow-up matters.

Just now in the illusion, the other party wanted to let me end it all in a dignified way.

But due to his persistence, he ended up with such an embarrassing ending.

But, at least, he fulfilled the promise he made with Alyssa in the illusion.
