The stars, but they become the gray wind

"And for the sake of deterrence, it would be best to send a few fighter jets to escort the Osprey all the way out of London openly and brazenly in front of the enemy."

"That's no problem. A few ADF-11Fs are enough to penetrate all of London's defenses. If you need me, I can always send the Hundred-Armed Giants directly into the battle at low altitude and crush them all the way."

"It's a shame I didn't bring some tanks with me this time. I wanted to use them to send those noble insects from the kingdom and the rebels who were attempting a military coup d'état to the skies one by one."

"Hey... do you think you are Zhang Tai?" Yuki said embarrassedly.

"Nonsense, I just want to use tanks to send the Zerg and rebels to the sky one by one to meet a certain commander-in-chief." Carisi on the other end of the communication replied with a grin.

(I was a little angry today because of something, so the update was a little late. I have never seen such a stubborn guy. I was backstabbed by someone who suddenly fed you shit.)

Chapter 77: Divine Soldiers from Heaven

Dorothy pushed a cart full of dirty clothes and bed sheets and left Mary's bedroom, which was guarded outside the door by the guards, and pushed the cart full of clothes and bed sheets to the meeting place agreed upon with Angie in the kitchen.

"You can come out now. There's no one around." Angel walked to the cart and leaned over to speak softly to Mary, who was hiding under the dirty clothes in the cart.

A little head with blonde hair popped out from the pile of clothes in the cart and looked up at Dorothy and Anjie who were not at the cart.

"We will go out from here through the underground secret passage later. Are you ready, Your Highness?" Dorothy, wearing a maid outfit, bent down and looked into Mary's eyes and asked.

"Yeah!" Mary nodded.

On the side, Anjie picked up an iron hook leaning against the wall and hooked it onto the manhole cover on the floor. Anjie held the hook tightly and pulled it up suddenly. The heavy manhole cover was pulled aside, revealing the ladder hidden underneath.

As she climbed down the ladder, Mary smelled a terrible odor coming from the sewer, and she couldn't help but cover her nose.

"Although the smell is unpleasant, just bear with it for a while. After the rain, the situation is much better than usual." Anjie, who had already gone down to the maintenance passage next to the sewer, said calmly with a lantern in hand.

"Go this way and then meet up with Princess Charlotte. Your Highness Mary, follow." Angel silently adjusted the brightness of the lantern and reminded Mary behind her.

.........

On the other side, at the exit of the secret passage, Olivia, who was accompanying Charlotte and Beatrice, looked worriedly at the dark exit in front of her.

"Is it really okay?"

"Isn't it better for me to accompany Princess Mai?" Olivia looked at the exit in front of her that was still silent with worry.

"Don't worry, they will definitely get through it safely." Charlotte comforted.

As soon as Charlotte finished speaking, footsteps were heard from the exit of the passage. Anjie, who was leading the way with a lantern, raised the lantern in her hand to illuminate the darkness and gestured to Charlotte and Olivia who were not far away.

"Your Highness Mary!" Olivia shouted to Mary who was following behind Angel, as if relieved.

"Olivia!" Seeing her familiar friend, Mary happily ran up and hugged Olivia.

"I'm really sorry, both of you. This is the only way I can think of to help you." Charlotte's apologetic voice came from behind Olivia, who was hugged tightly by Mary.

"No, Your Highness Charlotte, I have been serving Her Highness Mary since she was born, but the palace is now fraught with danger. As long as I can make Her Highness Mary's life safer and happier, I will follow her to the end, no matter what."

"We have to hurry, there is not much time left, the patrol boat of the Republican Army will come to pick us up soon." Angel urged at this time.

"Okay." Olivia and Mary agreed together.

.........

"So many people are here?" After several people met up with Qianshi who was in charge of the connection, Qianshi looked at Mary, Olivia and himself.

Almost all the companions present sighed.

"Qianshi, sorry for the wait."

"It's okay, but Anjie, what are you going to do for the rest of the journey?"

"Use flying." Anjie replied calmly, pulling out the C ball from her waist pocket.

"Look over there, please." Angel pointed in a direction to Mary and Olivia. The building glowing in the distance was an aerial rail transit station in the Kingdom of London.

"We have agents and informants at that station, on standby. Or one of them can take you two directly there," Angel explained to Mary and Olivia, who were looking puzzled.

"Chise and I will go to the ground first to ensure the safety of the station. Princess Mary will be left to you, Ange." Dorothy said to Ange with great trust.

"Get ready, both of you. We are going to fly in the rain at night." Angel kindly reminded the two people in front of her.

Olivia and Mary exchanged a glance, still not understanding how Anjie could fly over there with them without a large aircraft.

.........

“Ahhhhhhhhh!!?” Olivia tightly hugged Ange’s arm and screamed in the air hundreds of meters above the ground.

"Close your eyes if you're scared." Angel reminded Mary and Olivia who were hugging him tightly, and skillfully controlled the C ball in his hand to fly with them to the distant station.

"Woo...?" Compared to the screaming Olivia, Mary seemed very calm. Feeling the airflow blowing during the flight, Mary even felt an unprecedented sense of freedom.

Guided by the flashlight emitted by the contact informant on the platform, the three of them landed safely on a maintenance platform next to the platform roof. Dorothy, who had been waiting there with several Republic intelligence personnel, was relieved to see the three of them land safely.

"Thank you for your hard work, Anjie. Please follow me, both of you."

"it is good."

.........

While the commentators Mary and Olivia were being escorted onto the skytrain, Chise's mind was elsewhere on the platform.

"Sigh... How am I supposed to explain this to Lord Horikawa?" Thinking of the possible consequences of participating in this operation, Chiyo sighed.

What Qianshi didn't know at this time was that she would no longer have to worry about this problem soon, because Carisi and Aze had completely prepared a series of heavy-hitting actions, and these few people would turn London upside down.

After the Republic's intelligence personnel confirmed that the route ahead was generally safe, Anjie started the train in the cab. The train started to rumble forward, spewing thick smoke.

Inside the car, Mary, who had been confined to the palace for many years, looked curiously at the brightly lit city of London outside the window. Mary called out the beautiful angel sister in her mind.

【Angel sister?】

【I'm here, what's wrong? Mary】b

[It's okay, it's just that I've never seen the night view of London from this aerial perspective. It looks very...]

【pretty?】

[Well, before, except for important political activities, I was almost never allowed to leave the palace.]

This is the first time I've seen the night view of London from the air.

[As a city that has initially completed industrialization, it does have its own unique style]

But, Mary

What's up, Angel Sister?

I promise you, you will see something even more magnificent and beautiful in the future.

[Eh? Is it something more beautiful than the night view of London?]

[Beautiful? I can't guarantee that, but I can guarantee that what I'm about to show you will be much more spectacular than London's night view!]

[Really? Angel Sister?]

[Really? I promise.]

.........

"So, Her Highness Charlotte is a spy working with the Republic?"

On the side, Olivia was shocked to hear Charlotte reveal the secret she had hidden for a long time.

"How should I put it? Actually, we wanted to use him at the beginning, but ended up being used by us instead." Dorothy sat in the chair and thought for a moment, recalling her not-so-pleasant meeting and first acquaintance with Charlotte.

"The princess is joining forces for the future of the kingdom, and we are joining forces for the Republic."

"It was also thanks to the princess that casualties were avoided in the explosion of the Londinium." Dorothy inadvertently revealed a series of dangerous actions that Charlotte had secretly carried out in order to protect Mary and the future of the kingdom.

"So, Her Highness Charlotte has done so much for Mary and the entire country without my knowledge?" Olivia looked at Charlotte, who was sitting silently beside her, with an expression of great admiration.

"Thanks to my sister for saving us all before. If she hadn't asked us to evacuate at that time, who knows what the consequences would have been." Mary, who had been lying by the window and listened to the entire conversation between the people next to her without saying a word, said to Charlotte with great respect.

.........

Charlotte opened the driver's door, walked into the cab and closed the door behind her.

"How is Mary?" Anjie asked calmly while concentrating on operating the train in the cab.

"Looks very energetic..." Charlotte answered absentmindedly as she walked into the cab.

Noticing that her lover, who was leaning against the door behind her, was feeling a little down, Anjie turned around and looked Charlotte face to face.

"I'm sorry for forcing you to make a difficult choice." Anjie suddenly apologized to her lover.

"No, this is clearly something I asked you to do..." Charlotte knew clearly how much risk her actions would bring to Anjie and others, and obviously felt guilty towards Anjie.

"No, I forced you to make that decision even though you knew there was no other choice. If Mary had escaped successfully, the royal family would have surely begun searching for the mastermind who led the way."

"But no matter what happens, Charlotte, I will definitely protect you, even if it means risking my life." Anjie said each word with a firm expression.

Just as the two were having a private conversation between lovers, they did not notice that there was actually a third person in the cab. Aze leaned against the car window with an expressionless face and listened to the two people's affectionate and special confession to each other.

"I shouldn't have come in earlier. Now I'm like a lightbulb." Aze, who was in optical invisibility and leaning against the car window, made an extremely awkward face and complained silently.

.........

Just as the train was about to reach the next station, Angel noticed something unusual ahead. She decisively pulled the brakes on the train. With a sharp braking sound, the heavy train hanging on the track slowly stopped.

"Why did it stop?" Beat asked puzzledly in the car.

"I'll go take a look." Dorothy stood up, walked to the cab, opened the hatch and asked the two of them.

"What happened?" Dorothy looked at Anjie, who was leaning against the window and looking at a station ahead through a telescope.

"There's an ambush ahead." Anjie said, handing the binoculars to Dorothy who walked into the cab.

Dorothy took the telescope, raised it to her eye, and aimed it at the platform in front of her. On the platform, a large group of Royal Military Police with guns were waiting, as if they were waiting for something to happen.

"It seems that the military has invested a lot of resources in the ambush ahead. I had a bad feeling before. Let's go, we have to change the route." Dorothy put away the telescope and instructed her companion in front of her.

.........

The gendarmes who were waiting on the platform waited for a long time but no train arrived, so they had to drive another train parked on the platform to check the condition of the train that had not arrived yet.

After the two trains merged, the Kingdom's military police rushed into the now empty train and searched everywhere, but they found no one.

"Damn it! Where did they all hide?" The leading military police captain frowned, looking at the empty carriage and looking at each other with his men.

.........

On the top of a castle with a strong sense of history, Beat looked at the train in the distance with lingering fear.

"That was a close call. I almost got caught. Luckily I ran away in time."

"Tsk... We wasted a lot of extra time. The airship should be arriving soon." Dorothy nervously checked her pocket watch and looked at the London Wall in the distance that divided the Kingdom and the Republic.

"Let's just go through the wall from here." Anjie suggested as she calculated the straight-line distance between the roof of the building and the London Wall.

Anjie checked the remaining amount of anti-gravity mineral solution in the C ball in her hand.

"Although it's longer than expected, it should be doable."

"Princess Mary, after you pass through the wall, you may not be able to see Charlotte again for a long time."

"If you have anything to say, please say it here as quickly as possible." Angel thoughtfully left some private time for Charlotte and Mary.

"I believe that you, sister, can definitely change the current situation of the Kingdom of Albion." Mary walked up to Charlotte and said to her seriously.

"Mary... I... will definitely eliminate the existence of the wall and create a world where I can meet you at any time and even live with you." As she said this, Charlotte squatted down and hugged her sister in front of her tightly.

"Once one of the searchlights on the Republic side of the wall goes out, the patrol boat will rise to the edge of the wall. We'll take the opportunity to jump on it and let the other side pick it up. Are you ready, Mary?"

After receiving affirmative responses from Mary and Olivia, Anjie activated the C-ball in her hand, took Mary and Olivia's hands, and flew into the sky, heading towards the London Wall in the distance.

As the three men continued to approach the London Wall, one of the searchlights went out, and an airship rose from the wall as the searchlight went out.

"Is that the airship?" asked Mary.

"Yeah." Anjie replied briefly.

Just as the three were about to approach the airship, something strange happened. Angel heard gunshots behind her. She subconsciously turned around and saw a large group of fully armed military police rushing to the top of the castle and surrounding Charlotte and the others.

"Oh no! Charlotte!!" Angel panicked when she saw Charlotte was surrounded. Just as Angel was panicking, within a few seconds, another airship with the Kingdom Air Force logo rose from Angel's flight path. Two soldiers were standing at the open side door of the airship and had pointed the muzzle of the net gun at the three people flying in the air.

"Oh no!!" The three people had no time to dodge and were hit by the net that was shot out from the muzzle at high speed. Angel, Mary and Olivia crashed into the net. Mary screamed in fear.

At this moment, the voice of a young and lively girl suddenly reached the ears of the three people trapped in the net.
