Chapter 587: Expulsion

"To be honest, I'm generally not interested in talking to men."

Duanmu Huai put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at the blond man in sunglasses in front of him.

"So please keep your story short."

"Hahaha, okay, sorry to bother you... then, I'll get straight to the point."

Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, Captain Kuvatro also chuckled. Then he calmed down his expression and looked at Duanmuhuai seriously.

"Mr. Inquisitor, I remember you once said that the purpose of the Inquisition is to protect mankind, and as far as you are concerned, as long as the skull does not mutate, it will be regarded as a human being, right?"

"so what?"

"Then why don't you stand with PLANT?"

Captain Cuvatro stared at Duanmuhuai with a solemn expression.

"As you can see, PLANT are all genetically modified new humans. I think you also agree that these new humans are far more powerful than the natural humans on the earth. They represent the progress of mankind and the direction of future development. But the earth The old people in the world cannot admit and look directly at this. They fear and despise this power, and they just cling to the glory of the old bloodline."

Speaking of this, Captain Cuvatro's tone became excited.

"We all know that the decline of natural humans is only a matter of time. As you said, nature is the survival of the fittest, and natural humans cannot compete with genetically modified new humans. Their current struggle and resistance are completely in vain, and they are just sacrifices in vain. The lives of both sides, if the Inquisition can join PLANT and let the old diehards on Earth fully understand what kind of enemy they are facing, then they will give up the war. In that way, no one will bleed and die in vain. And humans can also unite to deal with enemies from outside the galaxy..."

Before Captain Cuvatero finished speaking, Duanmuhuai interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"I understand what you are thinking, but..."

Having said this, Duanmu Huai stared at the blond man in sunglasses with a half-smile.

"You should know very well that the facts are obviously not what you said. If the new humans are really as superior as you say, then they can completely conquer the earth with overwhelming strength. But now, the Earth Federation still has Now, and it seems to be prosperous, this shows that the gap between new humans and natural humans is not as big as you said. "

"………………"

"Also, if I remember correctly, the pregnancy rate of new humans seems to be very low. If we fight for another few decades, we still don't know which side will fall first."

Duanmu Huai was not stupid. He brought Lumière with him just to obtain information from all parties through the Internet. The attributes of the new humans are indeed stronger than those of natural humans in all aspects, but they are not overwhelmingly strong. Moreover, the new humans have a very fatal weakness, that is, the fertility rate is low, making it difficult to reproduce offspring, and the population is basically experiencing negative growth.

To be honest, under these conditions, if we fight for another few decades, we still might not know who will kill whom.

After all, war is about quantity and productivity.

Well, in every aspect.

"Furthermore, the Tribunal will not side with one party just because they are obviously stronger."

Duanmuhuai stood up as he spoke.

"Many of the enemies faced by the Tribunal are far stronger than us, but we still will not give up. Instead, we will fight until the last moment for humanity. If according to what you said, who is stronger? If it’s anyone, then our Tribunal should not fight those evil gods and demons, and just surrender.”

"That's not what I meant..."

"It makes no difference to the Tribunal, sorry, Captain. The reason why we assisted in the satellite blasting is because the Tribunal determined that this was an indiscriminate attack on humanity. But the war between the two forces is not ours. The part that needs attention, whether it is a natural person or a new human being, there is no difference for the Inquisition. "

In fact, there are many factions in the Inquisition. Some factions only hold the view of not getting involved in politics, while other factions are completely different - they will even actively intervene in the political field, and then ruthlessly obliterate anyone who dares to hinder the progress of mankind. the elements of. If Duanmu Huai acts according to this faction, then he will kill all the leaders of the Earth Federation and PLANT who want to start a war, and then let those who support peace take over.

However, Duanmu Huai was not interested in this, because he knew very well that this kind of thing would have basically no effect. It's like crime. Everyone hates crime, but it never completely disappears. You can certainly eliminate those who clamor for war, but there are others who will do so quietly. For example, a terrorist attack like this colonial satellite could trigger some kind of conflict.

Once the other party really succeeds, amidst the anger and hatred of the people, even leaders who insist on peace will have no choice but to bow their heads.

Of course, in addition, there are factions who are very happy to witness large-scale wars and even actively trigger wars. The Istvanists are the representatives. They believe in "the weak and the strong" and "survival of the fittest". In the view of the Istvanists, War can effectively accelerate and enhance human power, eliminate those who are weak and leave behind those who are strong, thus making human beings further stronger.

If Duanmu Huai is an Istvan sect judge, then he will definitely actively intervene in the war between the Earth Federation and PLANT.

On the opposite side is the Amaratean faction. Their creed is just the opposite. The Amaratean faction believes that strength is obtained through unity, so they must unite all forces that can be united and maintain law and order as much as possible. of stability.

Duanmu Huai adopted some of these methods, but he did not adopt them all. In fact, he did the same thing in other worlds. For example, in Duel City, he basically ignored the conflict between the three kingdoms of Seth, Lisas and Herman, and would not take action until the demons invaded Duanmuhuai.

It can be said that from this point of view, Duanmuhuai is half radical and half puritan.

"...Everyone, please pay attention and go to the bridge to assemble immediately."

At this moment, a sudden notification came from the radio. When they heard the sound, Duanmu Huai and the man in sunglasses both raised their heads.

"what's the situation?"

"There must be something wrong with Captain Thalia. Didn't she negotiate with Orb on behalf of PLANT before? From the current point of view, the situation may not be good."

Facts have proved that the man in sunglasses’ guess was correct.

"Orb rejected PLANT's request and asked us to leave immediately."

Captain Thalia looked tired and annoyed.

"What's the reason?"

"They suspect that PLANT planned the crash of the colonial satellite..."

"Huh? But didn't we prevent the colonial satellite from falling? And the Orb representative... Miss Cagalli was also with us at that time!"

Hearing this, Yaz suddenly complained dissatisfiedly.

"But the current Orb chief Yuna believes that this is all directed and performed by our PLANT. In fact, we want to use this method to gain Orb's gratitude and trust, and then deceive Orb into cooperating with him..."

Speaking of this, Captain Thalia was also speechless. It was clear that the other party had no evidence at all, but he insisted on saying that he did it...

"If I had known earlier, I might as well have let the satellite fall down and smash these bastards to death!"

Hearing this, the others were also very angry. After working so hard, they turned around and the other party suspected that they had ulterior motives, which was unpleasant for anyone.

However, at this moment, An spoke.

"I don't think things are that simple, Captain Thalia. Although this is just my personal opinion, I think we should be ready for battle."

"Miss An?"

Hearing An's words, everyone looked at her in surprise.

"What do you mean?"

"Although I don't know much about the situation in this world, from a diplomatic and political perspective, few people would be so rude to the envoy, and would even drive us away directly. I think... Orb is very likely It has given up its neutral status and formed an alliance with the Earth Federation."

"What?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, while Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.

"I see, so as long as we leave Orb's border, the Earth Federation will come to kill us, right?"

"That's right, and maybe Orb will also turn his guns to face us when the time comes. Just wait and see if the other party will send someone to escort us when we leave."

"Indeed, I remember that the Minerva is still wanted by the Earth Federation. This Orb's plan is really good. If you engage with the Earth Federation, you can backhand Minerva to the other party as a pledge of honor. That would be a blessing. It’s…”

Duanmu Huai and An chatted harmoniously, and Captain Thalia's face turned pale when he heard their conversation.

Indeed, this possibility is not only possible, but also very high!

Thinking about it carefully, the attitude of Orb's leader when he met with him was indeed a bit unusual, but at that time Thalia was mainly focused on explaining to the other party that the fall of the colonial satellite had nothing to do with PLANT, so she didn't pay much attention to it. Now that I think about it, it is really unreasonable for me and others to be driven away just after they arrived. And Miss Cagalli, the Orb representative, is not here either, which is indeed a bit strange...

Of course, Duanmuhuai and An were very calm. After all, they were not Minerva's crew members, but just guests. It has nothing to do with them that Orb is looking for trouble - of course, if Orb is stupid enough to dare to attack them, Duanmuhuai doesn't mind calling in the Inquisition battleship and blasting it into pieces with one shot.

Duanmuhuai watched the excitement, but Captain Thalia was covered in cold sweat. She hurriedly ordered all the crew members to return to the ship immediately, and then quickly set sail. Sure enough, just when Captain Thalia applied for permission to sail from Orb, the other party He said that he would send a fleet to see him off. Before, Captain Thalia might not have cared too much about it, but after listening to Duanmu Huai and An’s reminders, she also discovered that——Ob, you are really No good intentions!

But at this moment, Captain Thalia had no choice. Although she wanted to find an excuse to refuse, Orb was very "warm and hospitable" and said that she must come to see him off. Considering that if he continued like this, he would only cause trouble. Orb was vigilant, and it would be more detrimental to him if he provoked the other party to take action within the territory, so Captain Thalia had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

Then Minerva set off to leave Orb and move towards the outside world.

"Will Orb really take action against us?"

Seeing that she was about to leave the Orb border, Anmari also looked at An beside her with some worry, and the latter nodded.

"That's right. After all, if I'm right, Orb must have contacted the Earth Federation, and when we set out, they had already told the Earth Federation our location. If we are too far away, we can go to the universe directly after leaving Orb, so I think the Earth Federation will definitely send troops to stop us..."

"A large number of MS signals have been detected!"

Sure enough, before An finished speaking, the communicator immediately reported this unfortunate news to everyone. Everyone looked up at the screen and saw that on the other side of the vast ocean, there were indeed warships and several MS teams of the Earth Federation, which had surrounded this place, waiting for them to step out of the country, and then directly started to attack.

What should I do next?

Just as Talia was thinking about this problem, the communicator sent another message.

"Captain, the Orb fleet behind sent a message asking us to leave the Orb territory immediately."

Good guy, you don't even act anymore, right!

Talia gritted her teeth. If she hadn't listened to Duanmu Huai and An's warnings, she would have thought that the other party was afraid of getting into trouble. But now that Talia has guessed that Orb is likely to be in cahoots with the Earth Federation, then... she has a way!

Thinking of this, Captain Talia immediately gave an order.

"Full speed ahead, target the Earth Federation fleet! Everyone prepare to attack!"
