Gerhart returned to the Second Moon with the remaining fleet. At this time, he was still a little uneasy. After all, he did not carry out Izelkandar's order and also lost the Luna base, which made VEGAN's current weak situation
Adding insult to injury.
"Haha, you still have the nerve to come back, Gerhardt."
As Gerhardt's old rival, Zanader had already been waiting for him at the port when he learned that Gerhart's fleet was defeated. If Zanader, who had been suppressed by Gerhardt, could not respond immediately
To meet Gerhard and ridicule him, wouldn't it be an apology for his (self-perceived) status as his number one rival?
But Gerhart would not be offended by such a shameless trick.
"Zanard, I heard that the Second Moon was invaded by the Federation Army? And they were allowed to escape safely?"
"you!"
Gerhat's simple counterattack ignited the fire in Zainard's heart, and the burning anger made Zainard want to take out his gun and shoot Gerhat.
The enemy invaded his hometown and was deceived by the illusion created by the enemy, causing the enemy to evacuate safely. This was his greatest shame.
Gerhat has no interest in quarreling with Zainard. Zainard considers himself to be his rival. However, Zainard does not know that Gerhat has never taken Zainard seriously. He has such a narrow demeanor and narrow vision.
, he is not qualified to be regarded as his opponent at all.
Gerhart's inner rivals have always been Yang Hui, Fleet, Alugureas, and even Izelkandar. What he wants has always been the future of all VEGAN compatriots, not just personal selfish interests.
"Jerhart~!"
Seeing that Gerhat ignored him, Zanader rushed to Gerhat, grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.
"Zanard, what do you want to do?"
"Let go of Lord Gerhart!"
When the three Doll Frosts and Flam Nala saw that Zanader was about to use violence against Gerhat, they did not hesitate to draw their guns and pointed them at Zanader's head, threatening him to stop.
On the other side, Zanard's men also immediately raised their guns and aimed at Dole Frost and others. The two parties who were supposed to be companions were as nervous as a powder keg about to explode.
"What? Do you want to take action?" Gerhat asked Zainard coldly.
"You...hum!"
Zainard wanted to answer "I just want to take action", but he also knew the difference between right and wrong. Although Gerhardt returned in defeat, causing VEGAN heavy losses, and was even suspected of disobeying orders, as long as Izelkandar did not issue an order
If there is a formal execution order, then Gerhat is not a traitor, and he has no excuse to attack Gerhart.
Gerhart returned to the ground, straightened his wrinkled collar, glanced at Zanader, passed by with Flam Nala, Doll Frost and others, and walked towards the interior.
After they left, Zainard couldn't help but feel angry. Thinking that Gerhat looked down on him and that the spy he sent had betrayed him, he fired several shots into the sky to vent his anger.
"Ah~!! Gerhart! Flam! Just wait for me! One day I will make you die ugly!"
…
"Lord Gerhard, Zanader is going too far." Doll Frost reminded him.
"Don't worry about him. After all, he is just a chess piece. He is trapped in the illusion that he is a chess player and refuses to wake up." Gerhart said flatly.
"yes……"
"Okay, don't take it too seriously. He is still useful now, and what we are about to face is Lord Izelkandar." Gerhart said with a solemn expression.
"...Yes." X4
The four of them were very nervous at this time. Because of the failure of this battle, they didn't know whether Izerkanda would severely punish Gerhart, and...the slightly tentative order was not carried out.
The conflict between Zelkandar's faction may soon be brought to the surface.
"Lord Gerhart, should we make some preparations in advance?" Flam Nora asked in a low voice.
"Can you shoot at your compatriots and your homeland?" Gerhat did not answer Flam Nala directly, but asked them rhetorically.
"this……"
The four of them were silent. They couldn't do it. The difference between them and Izelkandar was just a conflict of ideas. They were VEGAN, and the other party was VEGAN. We were all compatriots, and they could not be enemies with their compatriots and hometown.
"There is no need to do anything. I believe Lord Izelkandar will understand us. Everything is for VEGAN."
“Everything is for VEGAN.” X4
…
Gerhart came to Izerkanda's room alone, and Izerkanda was sitting alone in the study waiting for his arrival. Although he was well-dressed and sitting upright, his face still remained sickly pale.
"Jerhart, you are back."
"Yes, Lord Izelkandar, I am very sorry. I failed to meet your expectations and lost the Luna Base. Please punish me."
"Well..." When Gerhart knelt down to report, Izelkandar had already stood up and walked in front of Gerhart. He held a silver pistol in his hand and slowly pressed it against Gerhart's head.
, "...You really should be punished, why don't you execute the [Mouth of the Abyss] operation?"
"For myself, for my subordinates, and for the entire VEGAN." Gerhart raised his head and let the cold touch transfer to his forehead, without the slightest fear, and his tone was as calm as a calm lake.
"I'll give you a chance to explain." Izelkandar became interested in Gerhat's answer, but did not move his gun away, and his tone remained cold.
"For me personally, I don't want to bear the reputation of a butcher. There are many ways to achieve victory, but it is definitely not this one. For my men, the battle situation has changed greatly. The federal army's trick succeeded, and the entire battlefield was shaken.
In chaos, if we insist on launching the [Mouth of the Abyss] operation, then less than one tenth of our compatriots will be able to return to the second moon safely; finally, for VEGAN, once the [Mouth of the Abyss] operation is carried out, the Federation and
The hatred between VEGAN will soar to the peak in an instant, and there will be no possibility of reconciliation in the future. This is an absolutely unacceptable result for VEGAN, so..."
"Why do we need to negotiate with them? Do you think VEGAN will lose?" Izelkandar interrupted and asked.
"No, VEGAN still has hope of victory."
"Then why do we need to leave room for reconciliation with the Federation? Stimulating hatred on both sides and stimulating the bloodiness of the soldiers is what VEGAN needs!"
"Even if it means taking advantage of the lives of our compatriots?"
"That's right! Even if it means taking advantage of the lives of compatriots! Gerhardt, take a good look at VEGAN now. Although the whole people are angry, how many people will only shout slogans and continue to huddle at home and wait to die, waiting for others to do something for them?
They strive for a better future? How many people go to the battlefield with passion, but lose their lives without being able to accomplish anything?"
"Lord Izelkandar! You..."
"There are also people on earth who are corrupt, stupid, and shameless. They only take things without knowing anything in return. Why do they have it? Just because they were born on earth? Just because they were not selected back then? Why do they have beautiful Eden?"
Will it be occupied by such a group of people?
The Eden in my dream has no wars, no diseases, no chaos and fights, an ideal land where only selected outstanding species are qualified to live! It will be the most perfect paradise in the universe!"
"Lord Izelkandar..."
"So what's wrong with those mediocre people dedicating their only value to a perfect Utopia? Their sacrifice is for a better future! They should feel honored for it!"
"No, Lord Izelkandar! You are wrong!"
When Izelkanda was going crazy, Gerhart quickly snatched the gun from Izelkanda's hand and roared at him.
"What did you say!?"
"Lord Izelkandar, VEGAN is also a member of the human race. We are the same race as the people on Earth. We are all living humans, not gods sitting high in the sky."
"You! Are you going to betray me? Gerhart!?"
"No, Lord Izelkandar, I have never betrayed, because the object of my loyalty has never been to a certain person, but to VEGAN, all my compatriots. For the bright future of my compatriots, I have been fighting so far, and the future will not be the same.
I will continue to persevere." Gerhat said sonorously and forcefully.
"Jerhart..."
Izelkandar discovered that he no longer recognized Gerhat. The child he had watched grow up had now surpassed him, and his mere momentum could force him to retreat.
"Lord Izelkandar, the people on Earth cannot be completely wiped out, at least VEGAN can't. Now that the technological level has been leveled, VEGAN, which is short of population and resources, is at a comprehensive disadvantage. We can only seize the opportunity to fight against the Federation in one fell swoop now.
A decisive battle, win this war, and negotiate with the Federation as a winner can we strive for the best future for VEGAN." Gerhart expressed his thoughts in one breath, hoping to get Izelkandar's understanding.
"VEGAN does not need to negotiate with the Federation. We own a small part of EXA-DB. As long as we get all of it, then..."
"It is no longer possible, Lord Izelkandar, the intelligence returned by the spies, the Federation... No, Mr. Yang Hui has obtained EXA-DB and destroyed it..."
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! There are guardians around EXA-DB, and even they can't..."
"This is a definite fact! Lord Izelkandar! Please wake up!"
Under Gerhart's fierce shouting, Izelkandar, who was gradually going crazy, slowly cooled down, and his whole body suddenly looked as slumped as if he had aged ten years.
"How is it possible...how is this possible...why..."
"Lord Izelkandar..."
"Jerhart...will you help me? You will support me, right? Just like before..." Izelkandar grabbed Gerhart's arms and begged. This was his last words.
A stone pillar supported his faith from collapse for many years.
"Unfortunately, Lord Izelkandar, I cannot agree with your idea. For the sake of VEGAN and all my compatriots, I will use my own methods to realize the [Eden Project]." Gerhart shook his head, regretfully.
replied.
"You...poof~!"
Gerhart's answer was like a heavy hammer, completely shattering the last support in Izelkandar's heart.
