She decided to stop thinking about it. Since things had already come to this, there was no point in thinking about it. She could just take it back to Ningguang and let her give her opinion.

Beidou was pondering another question at this moment, her one exposed eye rolling around.

"Now we have a problem in front of us."

Beidou looked at the two of them and spoke.

"Is it a matter of our stay?"

Anxin reacted immediately.

“That’s right. Did you notice that Mr. Jiang Ming mentioned that their new generator set is still waiting to be assembled? We need to wait for a while.”

If I'm not mistaken, both sides, especially Mr. Jiang Ming's side, should be taking advantage of this special opportunity to break the balance and step up their preparations.

Once we leave, or once they are all ready, that will be the moment when these two sides officially go to war. If we stay here to wait for delivery, we will inevitably get involved.

So now, are we going to hurry up and leave, or stay and wait to see what happens and join in the fun?

Beidou sat on the stool, leaned forward, and leaned close to the two of them to ask them a question, looking at them expectantly.

The two of them leaned closer together.

"I think the task Seven Stars gave you, Big Sister, is just to see it for yourself. It doesn't mean you have to bring it back, right? Now, let's hurry up and leave. There shouldn't be any problem."

"What about your two tasks?"

"Big Sister, you can put us down here. We'll stay here for a while. Big Sister, please tell Lady Ningguang, and then you can pick us up next time you come."

“How can this be allowed? What if those extremists come to power? Look at what’s written here, they’re quite xenophobic.”

"Don't worry, boss, those people can't do it."

Anxin might dismiss this idea.

His judgment isn't that bad.

If these muddle-headed bastards could actually get things done, he'd write his name backwards.

"Then what about your intuition?"

"..."

An Xin fell silent.

His intuition, indeed, hasn't disappeared to this day; it remains lingering.

"Well, as Liyue's Night Watchmen, our missions inevitably carry some risk..."

Upon hearing this, Beidou immediately interrupted the spellcasting and gave them a thorough dressing-down.

"Stop talking nonsense. You all came out with Beidou, and Beidou can't just abandon you like this."

An Xin and Wen Chen exchanged a glance.

What's with this inexplicable feeling of being moved?

"Well then, we've gathered quite a bit of information now, enough to get this over with."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that Beidou's gaze towards him held a hint of helplessness.

what happened?

"Wait a minute. This is a big matter. I think we should discuss it with the brothers. I'll go and call them over."

As Beidou spoke, he stood up and walked towards the door.

"?"

The two of them looked at each other, somewhat puzzled.

What's the boss doing?

Soon, Beidou called over all the sailors who had followed her ashore and explained the situation to them.

The originally spacious room felt very crowded with so many people gathered there.

After Beidou finished explaining the situation, a quiet discussion began in the room.

Soon after, the discussion gradually subsided.

The sailors' eyes were filled with a strange gleam.

"Big Sister, we've discussed it to the point. We've seen plenty of small-scale operations before, so they're nothing new. But this large-scale one... we'd really like to see what it's like."

"Hahahaha, this is the kind of brotherhood we have in Southern Cross! A coup d'état is a rare spectacle, one you might only see a few times in your life!"

Beidou seemed very happy.

Wen Chen and An Xin, who were standing next to her, looked completely bewildered upon hearing this.

No, so you've been talking for so long just to stay and join in the fun?

So why did you ask us that in the first place?

No, that's not important. What's important is, why are you staying here to join in the fun?

Is this kind of fun possible?

They have a lot of questions on their minds, but they don't know where to begin.

On the platform, Beidou began to explain the details to the sailors.

"Dalan, go to the Death Star later and tell Colonel Chong to explain the situation. By the way, it seems that they mainly use ranged weapons here, so find more brothers who know how to use crossbows and prepare to provide support."

"Make sure all the brothers have their weapons ready and carry them with them at all times. Don't sleep too soundly, or someone might grope you."

"Once we receive the signal, everyone should quickly regroup and follow my orders."

"Do you understand everything?"

"Understood!" the sailors below the platform responded with booming voices.

The loud noise shook the house, startling even the sparrows on security downstairs.

After the sailors left, leaving only Beidou, Wenchen, and Anxin in the room, they began to stare at each other, one eye on the other.

"Why are you all looking at me like that? This is what the brothers decided, I didn't interfere!"

Beidou felt a little uneasy under their stares and quickly waved his hand.

"Boss, why are we getting involved?"

They were both very puzzled.

"Hehe~"

Beidou smiled.

These two are always bickering and fighting; their ambitions are too small.

"I'm asking you, is the opponent clear now?"

"Yes."

"Can those people overthrow the Coral Palace?"

"Impossible," An Xin denied again.

"How strong is our opponent? Does he/she pose a threat to us?"

"Uh……"

The two of them thought about it carefully.

They were already a second-tier unit, and now after a large-scale expansion, a number of key personnel have been withdrawn. They are just second-rate trash, relying on their dissertations.

They were no match for the powerful and well-equipped Southern Cross fleet.

Aside from having a large number of people, it has no advantages whatsoever.

Even if there are too many enemies to fight, they can still break through and escape back to the Death Star.

"The threat is not great, it is very limited, and I even doubt whether it can cause us any casualties."

This is how they answered the question.

"Isn't this enough?"

Seeing the bewildered expressions on their faces, Beidou felt a bit disappointed in them.

"But if we are attacked or implicated, how do you think Coral Palace will compensate us?"

"!"

Chapter 78 A Gunshot

"Furthermore, if we are implicated in the process and then help them resolve the problem, how should the compensation be calculated?"

"Sigh~"

They roughly understood what Beidou meant.

To put it bluntly, it's about seeing the situation stabilize and then jumping in to grab some benefits.

"Then why are you asking us, boss?"

"Ahem, well, there are still some risks involved, so I was a bit hesitant and came here to ask for your support. Since you're all here, haven't I made it obvious enough?"

Understood.

So when they saw that there were differing opinions and that they were focused on running away, they simply asked the sailors directly.

But they really didn't understand what that meant.

"Not obvious enough," they both said in unison.

"..."

"Alright, alright, it's perfect. With you two here, I'd like you to go and find out what's going on on both sides. We'll know more about this side so we can make some preparations in advance."

"That's it..."
