At the same time, the girls, under the guidance of the springtails, walked towards the depths of the passage.

It's really beautiful here...

Looking at the elegant carvings and magnificent dome around the passage, the girls couldn't help but sigh, but the leader, Mio Sakamoto, still looked serious, with a bit of uneasiness in her eyes. Although she only took a quick peek, she could feel that the civilization and technology of this force far exceeded her own, even surpassing Neroi. If such a force was hostile to humans... Thinking of this, Mio Sakamoto felt that her responsibility was getting heavier and heavier.

After walking through the corridor and reaching the end, everyone stopped. Then they saw the door in front of them make a slight "ding" sound, and then open to both sides. Then, the figure of a girl who was human like them appeared in everyone's sight.

She first smiled at everyone and nodded, then turned her gaze to the springtail.

"Thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to me."

"--roar--"

Hearing the girl's words, the Zerglings growled and turned away. It was not until these terrifying monsters disappeared from everyone's sight that the witches, including Mio Sakamoto, breathed a sigh of relief - the oppression of those monsters was really too strong. When they were surrounded by them, they could feel that their eyes were always looking at their bodies, and they felt that it would not be strange if they pounced on them and tore them into pieces at any time.

But now, they were relieved to see that the person opposite them was a human like them. The girl in front of them also looked them up and down with a slightly strange expression. But she quickly retracted her gaze and smiled slightly.

"Hello, my name is Mei Raiden. I will lead you to see the commander. Please follow me."

"OK."

Looking at Mei Raiden in front of her, Mio Sakamoto was relieved. Along the way, she had met races other than humans, which put a lot of pressure on her. Although they could communicate and interact, the two sides were too far apart after all, not to mention that the threat and pressure she felt from those terrifying monsters also made her quite nervous. Now seeing humans like herself, she was somewhat relaxed.

Under the guidance of Mei Raiden, the girls got on the elevator and went up all the way. Then, when the elevator door opened again, they finally saw the person they wanted to see.

Sitting on the chair, Fang Zheng looked at the four girls in front of him. He had already learned their names from the introduction just now. They were Major Mio Sakamoto of the 501st Combined Fighter Wing of the United Nations Army, Sergeant Yoshika Miyato, Sergeant Linette Bishop, Lieutenant Perrin H. Klosterman...

You guys really aren't shy at all?

Looking at the four girls standing in front of him with their chests and heads held high, not minding showing off their fatness, Fang Zheng's face looked a little strange. Although he had seen similar scenes in his notebooks, to be honest, in such a formal diplomatic occasion, it would be even more absurd if you were dressed like this and acted so seriously.

Even the other people around Fang Zheng looked a little strange at this moment, but those who stayed knew that the matter was of great importance, so they didn't say anything.

However, the girls in the guest room at the back did not have so many concerns.

"Do they really not care at all???"

Looking at the four girls talking with Fang Zheng on the screen, Takarada Rikka felt for the first time what culture shock was. Although she had seen this term in books and on the Internet before, it was not until this moment that she experienced firsthand what it meant.

If it were her, if she were standing here chatting with a man wearing only a pair of trousers and without covering herself, she would probably have died of shame.

"Um... Miss Anna, we shouldn't have done anything that goes against your common sense, right?"

Xing Baixian was also feeling uneasy at this moment. They had never experienced cultural shock before. After all, Sidonia had always been a single colony ship, and everyone's ideas and habits were similar. Nothing like this had ever happened before, but now it seemed that this first lesson had left a deep impression on Xing Baixian and the others.

"No, no, it should be said that the reactions of people in this world are a bit strange..."

In the end, Fang Zheng only talked to these witches for a short while, exchanged some information with them, and then politely sent the four of them out. The reason was simple, that is, this kind of dress was really weird, and there were a bunch of girls staring at him from behind, which made Fang Zheng feel quite embarrassed.

But of course, Mio Sakamoto and the other three didn't know what the other party was thinking. They were just teleported out of the battleship again after that. Seeing the four people return safely, the other witches were relieved and came up to ask about the situation. Mio Sakamoto had a serious face. While answering questions, she quickly returned to the Joint Forces Operations Command to report.

After all, the information she obtained this time was really shocking.

After returning to the United Nations Command, the senior officials who listened to Sakamoto Mio's report were also stunned.

According to Mio Sakamoto's report, that huge fleet came from the depths of the starry sky. A mysterious and huge evil force invaded the world deep in the starry sky. In order to fight against this powerful evil force, they united to launch a counterattack against it and fought all the way here...and the reason why they attacked Neloy was because Neloy was also related to that mysterious force.

It can be said that Fang Zheng did not lie at all. The world of Neloy was destroyed by the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, so they launched a large-scale attack and adopted the tactics of changing homes. So it cannot be said that there is no relationship between the two sides, right?

But this point needs no explanation.

But for the United Army, they obviously believed that Neroi was also one of the forces of that evil force.

According to Mio Sakamoto's report, the opposite side was obviously also a similar joint army, but unlike the joint army, there seemed to be other races among them, such as giants more than ten meters tall, and monsters that looked more terrifying than the legends in hell. Just listening to Mio Sakamoto's description, the top leaders of the headquarters felt like they were listening to a story.

The only thing that relieved them was that, according to Mio Sakamoto, the Blue Legion that commanded this joint army was led by humans - at least on the surface they were humans like them.

"So, the other side's statement is that they will destroy Neloy?"

"Yes."

In response to the questions from the top commanders, Mio Sakamoto nodded.

After hearing the answer, one of the senior executives immediately showed a relaxed expression.

"Oh, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Now, it won't be long before we can take back Europe."

"What are you talking about?!"

However, another person obviously disagreed with his colleague's opinion.

"You mean, we are going to hand over the mission of taking back Europe to these outsiders who came from nowhere, while we just sit there and watch? That's our country!"

"However, it is true that the coalition forces are helpless against Neloy. Even just defending is already very strenuous. If they want to attack, it is simply impossible, right? In this case, when will they be able to recover the lost territory? As long as the goal can be achieved, the process itself is not important..."

"Don't you have the dignity of a soldier?!"

"I'm just against unnecessary sacrifices!!"

Seeing that an argument was about to break out, the person presiding over the meeting hastily made a decision to ask Mio Sakamoto to leave - as for what was next, it was time for a closed-door meeting.

Quietly closing the door to isolate herself from the quarrel inside, Mio Sakamoto sighed. On the one hand, she also felt that it was a good thing to be able to successfully recover the lost territory, but on the other hand, as the people above said, her dignity as a soldier made her somewhat unwilling to accept such a gift. She would rather defeat the enemy and recover the lost territory through her own efforts than to watch this scene happen.

But war kills people...

Thinking of this, Mio Sakamoto smiled bitterly and shook her head.

I'm just a major, and I can't refuse whatever my superiors think. After all, she is a soldier, right?

After three days of closed-door meetings at the Joint Forces Headquarters, they finally came to a conclusion. Mio Sakamoto, on behalf of the Joint Forces Headquarters, went to the Azure Fleet again and met with Fang Zheng. This time...

"You want to fight with us?"

Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and stared at Sakamoto Mio in front of him, and the latter nodded.

"Yes, the Command hopes to cooperate with the Azure Fleet and fight together..."

At this point, Mio Sakamoto's face was a little hot. She knew that this was just a euphemism from the headquarters. To put it bluntly...

Boss, please give me a hug!

"Oh? What exactly?"

"That is... that... the Joint Forces Command has allowed our 501st Combined Combat Aviation Regiment to operate with you... I don't know if the commander..."

"sure."

Fang Zheng waved his hand. This was the same routine as when Xing Baixian used Sidonia. He was used to it. After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Sakamoto Mio was relieved.

"Then I will lead the rest of the team to report here tomorrow!"

"Go ahead."

After receiving Fang Zheng's clear answer, Sakamoto Mio breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave. Tesla next to him stared at him with a pair of dead fish eyes.

"A group of beautiful girls are coming again. Are you happy?"

"certainly."

Fang Zheng did not hide his thoughts at all.

"It's better than facing a bunch of ugly men."

"What if it's not ugly?"

"Then we can't let them come."

“But these people are really obedient.”

Faced with Fang Zheng's shamelessness, Tesla had no choice but to change the subject.

"This is normal. In other words, any force with a normal IQ would make a similar choice. Of course, those with an IQ of less than 50 who think they can smash warships with catapults are another matter."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng looked at the screen. The meaning of the Joint Forces Operations Command was actually very clear, that is, the main force of Neuroi would be handed over to the Azure Fleet, and they would advance from the ground to recover the lost territory. After all, Neuroi also had ground forces. The reason why the Joint Forces had never been able to defeat them before was mainly because they had no air superiority. After all, the technology of this era was not advanced enough. In addition to flying witches and fighter planes, the only anti-aircraft guns were left. On the battlefield, once air superiority was lost, the ground forces were basically lambs to be slaughtered.

So while seeking assistance from Fang Zheng's Blue Fleet, the United Forces Headquarters also quickly assembled ground forces to prepare for an attack.

But... when Fang Zheng saw a black tank coming ashore and arriving at the assembly point, he was still a little surprised.

Especially when the members of the tank appeared, Fang Zheng was stunned.

How come she is here?
