Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 1254 New partner!

"I have no intention of rejecting this commission. But, do I have to do it alone?"

Andegrin's request was expected.

However, according to the original negotiation results, both parties were to contribute their own efforts to form a joint team and then launch the action.

"No, it's still a joint team consisting of both of us. It's just..."

Andegrian was silent for a moment, then turned his gaze towards Lian.

This made He Ming look at Lian.

"Let me explain this. Although the disaster in the world governed by the Morningwind Elves has been resolved, the aftermath is still affecting other worlds. After the Yorozuya and the Castle Legion intervened, the master discovered that the aftermath seemed to be spreading to other worlds at an extremely fast speed."

"Will it spread? Will it trigger large-scale abyssal activity?"

He Ming didn't expect that such a serious situation would occur when he was busy dealing with affairs and testing sample No. 0, the Baxia armor system.

"No, there are no signs of the Abyss becoming active again. But the aftermath seems to have made the surrounding world unstable. Even if the Transdimensional Fortress takes action to try to smooth out the aftermath that has caused instability in many worlds, it will take some time."

Lian paused and told him some news which was not so good.

"Therefore, before the impact of the aftermath is eliminated, I am afraid that the number of people who can carry out the commission will be greatly limited. Master suggests that if possible, we should form a team that has some understanding of the world where the commission is located and has the ability to protect itself to deal with possible abnormal situations."

"Team? The number of personnel is limited?"

He Ming was stunned and spoke immediately.

If this is the case, wouldn't the Sea Fog battleship, He Ming's most important ace combat force, be unable to travel with him?

"Well, the equipment that personnel can carry will also be subject to certain restrictions. Excessively strong energy fluctuations and high-energy reactions are likely to cause the wave of instability in the world caused by the aftermath to further deteriorate."

Lian's explanation made King Kong immediately unhappy.

"What conspiracy are the Ghost Faces planning? Why did they go to so much trouble to stir up this mess?"

"We can't be sure yet. But the master gave a guess. It is very likely that the Ghost Faces are using this aftermath to collect something from the world that is showing signs of instability, or simply planning some conspiracy that may lead to the destruction of the world."

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Lian's eyes.

"But no matter what the Ghost Faces are planning, the Yorozuya and the Castle Legion have now launched a large-scale search operation. I believe that soon, we will know the truth about what those sewer rats who hide their true faces under masks are planning."

"The Morning Wind Elves have also taken corresponding actions."

Andergrien expressed his thoughts in agreement.

"For this reason, after I finish discussing with His Excellency He Ming, I will immediately return to my home planet and lead the fleet into action."

"Then, I wonder who the people His Highness Andegrin sent are?"

Andegrian bowed slightly and then mentioned a name.

"Deedlina Morningwind, step out."

"Yes! I will follow the orders of the Sky Knight."

As the clear and pleasant voice sounded, the female elf who had met He Ming several times before appeared in front of He Ming. "This..."

He Ming was stunned for a moment and looked at Andegrian.

"Your Highness Andgrien. It seems that Tinalina Morningwind is the princess of the elves. The situation of this commission is so serious, is it...?"

"No. Mr. He Ming, please do not place too much importance on my identity as the princess of the Morningwind Elves."

Deedlina Morningwind took a step forward and spoke in a sonorous voice.

Her star-like eyes sparkled with a firm, unshakable light.

"Deedlina Morrowind was first a warrior who fought for the Morrowind elves, then a member of the Morrowind elves, and finally a princess of the Morrowind elves."

"Therefore, Mr. He Ming, please do not think that I am just a vase that cannot set foot on the battlefield just because of my identity as the so-called princess of the Morning Wind Elves!"

After taking a breath, a fleeting ripple appeared in Deedlina Morning Breeze's eyes.

"As the man who defeated me personally, you should know my strength, instead of questioning whether I have the strength to participate in the commission because of my so-called princess status."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes immediately focused on He Ming.

Among them, there was also a teasing look cast by Lian in secret.

"Ahem. I made a slip of the tongue. Please don't be nervous! Princess Didelina. My original intention was just to confirm the thoughts of the Morningwind Elves. I didn't mean to question Princess Didelina's strength."

"Tina."

Andegrian raised his hand and patted Didelina's shoulder.

The latter was silent for a moment, and finally bowed to He Ming and apologized.

"Mr. He Ming. I am sorry for being rude."

"Sir He Ming, I am very sorry! When Tina was born, she was attacked by the Abyss, and she and her mother almost died. Thanks to His Highness Anduin and his men who came to rescue her in time, they survived. Moreover, when Tina was born, His Highness Anduin even performed the World Tree Blessing Ceremony for Tina on the battlefield and named her Didelina."

While Andgrien was explaining, Lian also came to He Ming and gently reminded He Ming.

"According to the customs of the Morningwind elves, the one who blesses an elf after it is born and gives it a name is equivalent to a parent, and its status is second only to the World Tree. Moreover, the name Didrina means dawn, light, and hope among the Morningwind elves. Only newborns recognized by the Sky Knights will be given such a name."

After listening to Andegrian and Lian's explanation, He Ming finally understood why Didelina's reaction was so big just now.

After all, Didelina was afraid that He Ming would refuse her participation in this operation, thus losing the opportunity to find Sky Knight Andun, who was like her biological parent.

"That's fine. It's natural to be eager to find your loved ones and not want to miss any action that can lead to clues about their whereabouts. It's also a common trait shared by all civilized races with sincere emotions."

He Ming stood up and stretched out his hand to support him.

"Please raise your head! Your Highness Didelina. This sincere feeling is the root of your search for the Sky Knight Anduin who has been missing for nearly six hundred years. I will not blame you. Moreover, I promise that I will work with you to find the whereabouts of His Highness the Sky Knight Anduin."

After saying that, He Ming turned around and looked at his companions with an apologetic look.

"Sorry! I'm afraid we can't bring you along on this mission!"
