Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 977 Demel's Return!! (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone!)
Under the arrangement, Eric Demel, who was recalled from the Small Magellanic Cloud defense line, was welcomed by the people of Gamilas Empire.

The huge crowds of Gamilas people on both sides of the main road kept shouting Demel's name, welcoming the imperial hero, the Wolf of the Universe - Eric Demel with the most intense and loudest voices of their lives.

Sitting in the car, Demel asked people to roll down the window and raised his right hand to wave to the people on both sides.

It was a grand ceremony, and also a performance that brought people together in the name of Eric Demel.

And on the way, a small incident happened.

A young Gamilas girl, ignoring the obstruction of the martial law soldiers, rushed out of the crowd and chased after the car that Eric Demel was riding in, just to give the bouquet of flowers she was holding to the imperial hero Eric Demel.

The moment Eric Demel took the bouquet from the little girl, the cheers resounding over the imperial capital became louder.

Amidst thunderous applause, Eric Demel, surrounded by his guards, stepped out of the sedan, walked through the long and wide passage, and came to the platform where Albert Desla and many ministers were.

The moment Eric Demel, a burly man with a serious face, stepped onto the platform, Albert Desla, who had recalled him from the border of Small Magellan, could already see the doubts of this famous general of the empire, the Space Wolf.

"Your face is full of doubt. Are you wondering why I recalled you from the front line?"

Upon seeing this, Eric Demel immediately expressed his concern about the border of Small Magellan and his vigilance against Gatlantis, which had been fighting with the Empire and the fleet he led.

Albert Desla had already guessed this.

He knew how much the famous general of the empire valued the Small Magellanic Border, and he was even more aware of the concerns that Eric Demel, known as the Wolf of the Universe, had about Gatlantis.

But these issues no longer matter at this moment.

Because, beneath these problems, there is something more important that needs to be dealt with urgently.

Albert Desla admitted that the Gamilas Empire had encountered some difficulties in the Milky Way.

Clearly, Eric Demel had done some homework.

The Gamilas Empire's combat plan in the Milky Way can be said to have been largely paralyzed, and the entire combat plan can almost be concluded as failure.

This is something that Eric Demel cannot understand.

No matter how excellent the performance of that Terun (Earth) warship was, it could not cause the Gamilas Empire's combat plan for the entire galaxy to almost completely collapse.

Albert Desla did not answer this question, but looked at Misela Celestella, who was standing aside and in charge of disseminating intelligence.

The latter nodded slightly, indicating that the situation was under control.

Albert Desla took the medal brought by the waiter and personally put it on Eric Demel.

This is the highest honor belonging to the Gamilas Empire!

At the same time, it was also announced to everyone in the Gamilas Empire that from this moment on, Eric Demel would exist as the admiral of the Gamilas Empire, and in this capacity would lead the imperial fleet to clear the way for the expansion of the empire and defeat all stubborn enemies.

"Demel. I want you to attack that barbarian ship. What do you think?"

Albert Desla spoke slowly amid the loud Imperial March.

Eric Demel did not refuse this, and he had no right to refuse.

As a soldier,

As a soldier of the Gamilas Empire,
He has no choice but to be loyal and responsible!
Seeing Eric Demel agreed, Albert Desla smiled with satisfaction.

He stepped forward and patted the shoulder of Eric Demel, who was more than half a head taller than him, and told him another reason why he was called back.

"Demel. Don't be too anxious to conquer that barbarian ship. Before that, you need to complete a mission first."

"President, please speak!" Albert Desla's words did not seem to cause any ripples on Eric Demel's side.

"Sasha Iskandar. The sister of Queen Iskandar, the second princess of Iskandar, is on the barbarian ship."

"what?"

This time, Eric Demel finally showed a hint of fluctuation.

"Why is the princess of Iskandar on that ship?"

The next second, Eric Demel suddenly realized.

"Could it be that the ship uses Iskandar's technology?"

As a general standing at the forefront of the empire's defense, Eric Demel is well aware of the great influence of Iskandar on Gamilas.

If it was really the Queen of Iskandar who provided technical assistance to the people of Terun (Earth), then the current situation where the Gamilas Empire's combat plan against the Milky Way has come to a standstill seems understandable.

"Well, that's what we guessed. But you have to verify it yourself."

When Albert Desla saw that Eric Demel had understood the meaning, he said nothing more and concluded the awarding ceremony as planned.

At the end of the ceremony, Eric Desla received a piece of information.

Melda Dietz, daughter of Gal Dietz, commander-in-chief of the Universal Fleet, stayed on the Terun (Earth) warship for the purpose of protecting Her Royal Highness the Princess.

This news made Eric Desla confused about the president's thoughts for a moment.

For this reason, he raised doubts to Gal Dietz, Melda Dietz's father, who was familiar to him, and Winter Tallan, the Minister of Munitions and Defense.

Winter Tallan, who had wanted to remind Eric Demel to be careful about his too high prestige among the people and the series of problems that might arise, was also driven out of his temper by Eric Demel's doubts.

"Actually, this is the wishful thinking of Melda and Vals Lange. I will have someone send you a report on what happened later. Demel."

As Melda Dietz's father, Gal Dietz decisively passed the relevant intelligence report to Eric Demel.

As superiors and subordinates,
As a colleague,
Gal Dietz knew very well that his father-daughter relationship with Melda Dietz would not be an obstacle to Eric Demel's battle plan, nor would it be the reason for Eric Demel to show mercy to Melda Dietz in the fierce battle.

Handing over all relevant information to Eric Demel is the key to maximizing the chances for his daughter Melda Dietz.

"Well, I have learned some of the general statements from Misela Celestella. But why did Miss Melda choose to stay on the ship under such circumstances instead of returning with EX178?"

Eric Demel thought.

"From what Misela Celestella told me, EX178 was being pursued by Gatlantis's infiltration fleet at the time, and then encountered the Teren (Earth) warship, and received assistance from the other side, sinking the Gatlantis's infiltration fleet in one fell swoop."

"So, what factors led EX178 to decide to let Melda Dietz stay on the Yamato?"

Gal Ditz and Winter Talan were stunned, and suddenly realized that there was a hidden clue that they could not detect.

Originally, when the news that Abelt Desla left Melda Dietz on the Yamato and Sasha Iskandar was on the Yamato was made public, almost everyone subconsciously believed that the reason why Melda Dietz stayed on the Yamato was because of Sasha Iskandar's existence.

"It's really interesting. I didn't expect that the appearance of the noble Princess Iskandar would lead to such a situation."

Eric Demel smiled.

"No wonder President Desla asked me to rush back from the Small Magellan border."
