Request reinforcements
Knox's face was gloomy. Unlike Valua and Gal, he was from the Imperial Army and was used to obeying orders.
As a lieutenant general, Eugene has the same rank as Valua and Gal.
But this is his canine team and flying fleet, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, he has to obey his orders.
Although Valua and Gal were extremely anxious, they also understood that Eugene's concerns were justified.
But Knox would not obey.
He asked coldly, "It would only take six or seven days to go directly. How much longer will it take you to take this long detour?"
Gal looked at the Starlink map and replied, "Twenty days at the fastest, a month at the slowest..."
He paused and sighed, "I wonder if my wife can't wait? But she hasn't contacted us recently, so she should be fine, right?"
Valua was a little annoyed, always feeling that he was dragging Anrita down.
He whispered, "But we can't take the risk. If we lead the mercenaries to their destination, wouldn't that be even more dangerous?"
There are too many secret outposts in the interstellar space, and the planet where the Dark Forest is located has far less military strength than the main planet.
It will be difficult to ask for help by then.
Knox was silent for a moment, then said, "You guys drop me off at the nearest planet, and I'll find a way to get there myself. You guys take your time, I'll go find my wife first."
Knox is the strongest among them and wants to go find Anrita alone.
Eugene refused: "My wife has an SSS-level Aqir with her, so don't worry. If you are really worried, we can contact the local garrison and ask them to go to the Dark Forest to find Aqir first."
Knox listened and nodded silently.
He forgot that all B-class planets have garrisons from the main star empire, and these troops will obey Eugene's orders.
After all, as a lieutenant general of the Main Star Empire, Eugene has this power.
Eugene was about to call the planet's garrison base when Gal's phone rang.
Gar picked up the smart computer and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
Gar: "The Stranger."
Valuya came over immediately and said, "Hurry up and answer the phone. It might be my wife calling."
As he spoke, he became a little dissatisfied: "Strange, why didn't my wife call me?"
Gal immediately picked up the phone and turned on the radio.
They haven't been in touch since Anrita called to report she was safe.
Valua hadn't been able to hold back and had sent numerous text messages to Achir's AI asking about Anita's situation, but Achir had only replied with three cold words: "She's fine."
There was no further news after that.
Valua was so angry that he suspected that Aqir had not shown the text message to Anrita at all.
But later they were worried that the intelligent computer was being monitored and someone might find Achir and Anrita, so they didn't dare to contact Achir without permission.
This time, when Gal's phone rang, everyone perked up.
Staring at the incoming call excitedly.
Gal picked up the phone: "Hello?"
Soon, Anrita's slightly hurried voice came: "Gar, it's me."
Several males' expressions suddenly changed. Garl said worriedly, "Wife, what's wrong? You don't sound well."
Not only was Anrita's tone wrong, the environment on her side seemed very chaotic, with the wind howling and rumbling sounds in the distance, like a large spaceship bombing.
Eugene's face was instantly covered with frost, and his originally resolute expression was replaced by gloom. His facial features seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and quickly became gloomy.
He thought to himself, they were trying their best to contain the mercenary group's flying ships here, so how come Anrita was still attacked?
What went wrong?
"They're desperately trying to hold back the mercenary fleet, but why is Anrita still under attack? What's going on?"
Eugene's voice was very low, and his words were full of suppressed anxiety and confusion, as if they were ground out from between his teeth.
At this moment, Anita's voice came from the communicator, still so gentle and calm:
"I'm fine, don't worry. It's just that the Black Forest Tribe is in danger. The people from Caster Island brought their troops here to encircle and suppress Achir's tribe. The situation is not too bad now. Gar, I want to ask for your help."
The voice came through the radio waves, and in this tense atmosphere, it was like a clear spring, slightly calming everyone's panic.
Gar's face had already turned red, with large beads of sweat dripping down his forehead and sliding down his cheeks: "Wife, it's already this time, don't be polite to me, what do you want me to do?"
His voice trembled slightly with anxiety, and every word was filled with concern for his wife and his eagerness to help.
Four males stood aside, their faces filled with worry.
Their eyes were filled with anxiety and uneasiness, their bodies tensed involuntarily, their hands clenched tightly, and they wished they could teleport instantly and appear beside Anrita immediately.
Anita paused for a moment and said softly:
"I'd like to trouble you to contact the planetary garrison and have them support Achir. Caster Island has only sent one super-flying ship. Their manpower and energy are limited, so they can only resolve the battle quickly, not engage in a protracted war. As soon as the garrison arrives to support them, they will definitely withdraw when they see no chance of victory."
She spoke steadily and clearly, as if every word had been carefully considered. In this critical moment, she remained calm and rational.
Eugene's voice was icy: "It's not that they didn't prepare reinforcements, they just happened to be stopped by us."
He raised his head slightly, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes. Fortunately, they successfully intercepted the mercenary group and drove away the enemy fleet with their tenacious fighting power.
Otherwise, if these mercenaries were allowed to meet up with the people from Caster Island in the Black Forest, the consequences would be disastrous, and the Black Forest tribe would probably be in trouble.
Eugene did not hesitate at all, nor did he ask Anita how to mobilize the planet's garrison. He knew that time was life at this moment.
He quickly reached out and grabbed the communicator on the table. His fingers operated it skillfully and dialed the number of the local garrison base.
He looked serious and focused, his eyes fixed on the communicator screen:
"Hello, this is Lieutenant General Eugene of the Prime Star Empire Marines. Immediately initiate an S-level rescue mission to the Black Forest Tribe. The situation is urgent and there is no time to lose!"
His voice was firm and powerful, revealing unquestionable majesty.
When the other lieutenant general heard that it was Eugene calling, he didn't even ask any more questions and immediately responded, "Roger!"
Gar's face was filled with worry. He spoke to Anrita on the other end of the communicator again, "Wife, Eugene has already contacted them. They should be here within half an hour at the earliest!"
As he spoke, he paced back and forth continuously, as if his feet were equipped with springs and he could not stop for a moment.
In fact, as soon as the super flying ship of Caster Island arrived at the Black Forest, the local garrison on the planet discovered the abnormality through advanced monitoring equipment and quickly launched a strict monitoring procedure.
The commanders of the garrison sat in the command center, their eyes fixed on the huge screen where various data and signals were flashing. They closely monitored every move of the Caster Island army.
Once the attack on Caster Island goes beyond the Black Forest and threatens the security of the surrounding areas, the local armed forces will immediately attack without hesitation to defend the peace and stability of the planet.
However, the people of Caster Island are very cautious, like a group of cunning foxes.
Even when the Black Forest tribe moved the females, they did not pursue them rashly. They always kept a good sense of proportion, not letting go of any opportunity easily, while also carefully avoiding triggering intervention from the local garrison.
In order to protect Anrita, Archer did not choose to leave the Black Forest in a short time in this difficult situation.
He led the tribal warriors and fought tenaciously against the army of Caster Island, building a solid line of defense with his flesh and blood.
At this time, deep in the Black Forest, the leopard carried Anita on its back and struggled forward in the dense woods.
Finally, the Archbishop and Anita escaped far from the Black Forest and came to the edge of a nearby town.
They hid in a forest on the outskirts of the city. The trees here were tall and dense, and their branches and leaves were intertwined, forming a natural barrier.
The archbishop carefully climbed up a big tree, placed Anita in a relatively safe place, and then leaned against the tree trunk, nervously observing the movements around him.
"They shouldn't have discovered us. This place should be safe."
The archbishop panted, his voice filled with fatigue and relief.
