Chapter 53 Conference
One hour later…
…
The Joint Operation Conference was held in the conference room of the Defense Center.
Since this was the highest meeting of the Human Front, not only were the girls invited to attend, but many current leaders also participated in the conference.
For example, Governor Dongfang Tian, whom the girls had rescued at Space Station 2.
This man with a stern face was very formally leading the meeting:
“Everyone has had a very tough journey. On behalf of the governor of the First United Fleet, I express my highest regards to all of you… However, the past is the past, and I hope everyone can focus their energy on the present to face the upcoming threats.”
“Um… Admiral Dongfang Tian, please rest assured, we will prioritize the overall situation.”
Elus nodded, trying to calm her emotions.
Time and time again, watching her companions die beside her had been a severe blow to this tsundere girl. However, she was still able to remain calm and solve all problems with reason.
This showed that Elus was a truly mature girl—she could distinguish between reason and emotion, and was the “brain” of the girls.
However…
…
“Mhm, Admiral Dongfang Tian, of course, we will focus our energy on the present~~ Please rest assured, no matter what happens next, we will fight to the end~!”
“Lonis?”
“(Idiot Fox?!)”
…
Lonis’s reaction stunned the girls.
Because all her companions, including Elus, knew that Lonis had been very depressed until this morning… Why was Lonis suddenly acting like a different person, becoming so cheerful and proactive?
(Has this idiot fox gone mad?)
…
Among them, Elus was the most worried.
Because she could confirm that Lonis’s heart was filled with a “silly happiness”—this seemed like a result of extreme emotional distress.
So Elus whispered a reminder:
“Idiot Lonis, don’t talk nonsense.”
“Huh?”
“Stop pulling my tail!”
…
It was very sad that Isumi had left, but if Lonis also lost her sanity, Elus feared she would not be far from depression.
However…
Lonis quietly replied:
“Elus, why are you pulling my tail?”
“You don’t need to speak now, let me handle the negotiation.”
“Bullying me… Elus Wife is such a tsundere!”
“You!”
…
If it weren’t for the meeting, Elus might have directly pushed Lonis onto the bed and dealt with her.
She would have interrogated her about what had happened… After all, whether it was a disguise or being stubborn, when the sheets were wet, Lonis would surely confess everything.
But now, during the meeting, Elus could only glare at Lonis and mutter:
“Hmph, idiot fox, I’ll settle with you later!”
“0v0…”
“Strange, what a silly expression.”
…
But regardless, because Lonis’s expression was also extremely cute, Elus’s mood was somewhat affected, and gradually calmed down.
She became even more serious during the meeting, and had more insightful opinions on many matters.
“Everyone, according to my deduction, the Supreme Civilization might directly use the Homogenizer for a devastating blow in the third invasion. However, with the deductions of our companions, we have already confirmed the location of the Homogenizer.”
“Mm, it’s on Pluto.”
Tsukimi Shimo also stood up, marking Pluto’s location for everyone.
Luo Bei took a deep breath and said, “If it’s on Pluto, then do we still need to dispatch the First and Second Fleets for an expedition? If that thing isn’t destroyed, the situation will be very critical.”
“We and the First Fleet can depart at any time, even if it costs us our lives, I will definitely destroy those Homogenizers.”
Because of Isumi’s sacrifice, many generals participating in the meeting were filled with enthusiasm, wishing they could also contribute on the battlefield.
However…
Elus shook her head, saying helplessly, “No, we can’t make an expedition to Pluto… because as far as I can see, Pluto is likely a trap.”
“Uh?”
“Everyone, doesn’t this seem too coincidental? Pluto is exactly the farthest area our fleet can reach—the Supreme Civilization had the opportunity to place the Homogenizer in a safer location.”
“Senior Elus means that…”
“That’s right, they are aiming for us to act rashly. And this time, they might deal a more cruel blow to the First and Second Fleets. I don’t know what it is, but based on the current intelligence, it must be a terrifying Supreme technology even more so than the evolved bodies.”
“!”
“Then, are we to await our doom?”
Zhisheng Luo also gritted her teeth, saying with great unwillingness.
Because she knew that Senior Isumi’s sacrifice was also for her sake—so Zhisheng Luo was determined and eager to avenge her senior.
…
“Of course, we won’t await our doom, so our best choice is to lure the Supreme Civilization over again. The battle against the evolved bodies ended in victory last time, largely because we were fighting on home turf, and everyone had high morale… and in a place like Jupiter, everyone would be uneasy.”
“Then Elus, I agree with your idea. Do you have any good plans then?”
Tsukimi Shimo smiled slightly, seeming to strongly approve of Elus’s performance.
“Mm, of course. In fact, the plan Violet Qin devised last time was quite good? We can feign chaos and then lure the Supreme Civilization to attack.”
“That plan?”
Upon hearing this, Violet Qin also sighed: “But last time it was successful thanks to the magical Rainbow Abyss Powers of a few people. And this time, the Supreme have already suffered a loss, so they definitely won’t appear rashly.”
“I know, so we just need to leave enough bait to make those guys want to attack.”
“Bait…?”
“That’s right, after the journey to Jupiter, I already know what those Supremes want.”
——————
…
…
The plan was thus decided.
And Lonis, while feeling at ease, also greatly admired Elus’s plan. This black-hearted girl’s ideas were simply brilliant, forming a perfect chain, logical and flawless.
So after the meeting ended, Lonis couldn’t help but want to “act cute” towards Elus:
“Miss Elus, you are so smart! If we do this, our chances of winning will greatly increase~~~~”
“Hmph, idiot maid… Your flattery has gone too far this time.”
“Huh?”
“This operational plan wasn’t drawn up by me, but by Miss Tsukimi Shimo… She previously went to the Supreme world to find out their details.”
“Ah?”
“So, she can be sure that as long as we do this, the Supremes will definitely launch an attack. Because on the Supreme side, there have also been voices opposing interference with humans, so some Supremes need to achieve results and resolve us as soon as possible.”
“Then why did Elus say it…”
“Isn’t it to make everyone listen to my command more?”
“!”
“Dongfang Tian and Violet Qin are fine, but many human generals, after all, don’t know us. Only by showing my intelligence and capability can I command all forces as I wish?”
“It turns out to be like this…”
“Mm, unity is essential. So for the next step… idiot fox, come with me!”
Elus’s gaze darkened, and she then grabbed Lonis’s long tail.
