NIKKE, When the Milky Way Blossoms

What does "kill the disobedient ones, and you just take over" mean?

Dorothy always considered herself radical. Compared to John, who claimed to be radical but was actually effeminate and whom even the Ark was unwilling to retaliate against, she, the goddess of victory who wanted to lead humanity as Niki against Lecher, was the true representative of the hawks.

however,

Compared to that lieutenant who constantly threatens to kill Ark government officials and plans a political purge...

Atao suddenly realized that she wasn't so radical after all.

In contrast, the effeminate John is like a spineless coward who is too righteous.

"Do you even know what you're saying? You killed someone for me, and now you're going to give me the entire Ark? Do you think I'm that easy to fool, Phoenix?" the pink-haired old woman retorted unhappily.

She had trusted humanity many times, but without exception, she was always betrayed by them.

She would no longer trust anyone; she would only trust herself…

And Pina.

The lieutenant below, upon hearing this, emphasized, "I didn't say I was going to give it to you for free. My condition is that if you can manage tens of millions of people in an orderly manner, I'd be happy to lend you a hand."

Unfortunately, I guess you probably don't have that ability. The Garden of Eden is such a tiny place, it's only difficult to manage a few hundred people at most.

"I have Niki here, managing the food, drink, and daily needs of 100,000 people, and these are 100,000 people in the outer district, which is no less difficult than managing the city center."

"Impossible! How could Niki manage 100,000 people!"

Atao was stubborn, which greatly shocked her. Atao simply couldn't believe that any human being in the world would be willing to entrust the territory of 100,000 people to a Niki.

"Her codename is Viper. Have you heard Isabel mention that name before?"

As Phoenix spoke, he leaped over a long van blocking the middle of the road, and after landing, he added:

"Come visit Ark sometime, and I'll introduce you to them."

Atao: "..."

……

"Introduce yourself..."

After nearly two days of wandering around the far north as the advance team, Isabel finally found the five members of Walcher and his companions hiding in safe house number 045.

The infatuated woman gracefully brushed a strand of hair from her temple and addressed Rudmila and the others in a friendly manner:

“I am Isabel, wife of Lieutenant Phoenix.”

My wife hopes that Commander Walter Clyde can lead the Limitless Force, the Counterattack Force, and his squadron to join forces.

"wife?"

Alice, hiding behind Her Majesty the Queen, puffed out her rosy cheeks after hearing the woman's boastful self-introduction. Her large, round eyes widened as she retorted in a sweet voice:

"Hmph! You big liar! The Mad Hatter doesn't have a wife!"

If it were someone else who said that, Isabelle would probably have a fit of madness and give the other person a good scolding.

However, Alice's sulking appearance was so adorable that the infatuated woman instantly filled in a large number of memory details, and her eyes became even gentler.

"Alice, please don't be angry with Mommy anymore, okay?"

Rudmila: "???"

Huaer Qiulei: "???"

Alice: "..."

The little girl, who was sulking just a moment ago, turned into a frightened bunny after hearing Isabel's crazy ramblings. She quickly hid behind Rudmila, only showing half of her head and a pair of big, watery eyes.

"Your Majesty... Queen."

"The mad March Hare lady has come knocking!"

Chapter 267 On the Eve of the Battle

Five days after Isabel found Valcherie, or the seventh day after they set off, Phoenix and his companions arrived in the far north after a day and night journey.

"Including the half-day we encountered each other, it's been a total of seven and a half days. Given the impulsive nature of the Fire Dragon Nihilista, it's impossible for him to still be in the Sky Ring. Xiaocao, who is in a state of serious injury, is probably still in the Sky Ring undergoing repair and treatment."

Inside the crowded Safe House 045, Phoenix stood in front of the 3D projection sand table, scanning the twenty-one Nikis and Waltham Clyde around him, and said:

"As far as I know, there are currently four heretics who can move freely. One is Crimson Lotus's sister Normantechesh, and the other three are the fire dragon Nihilista, the jellyfish Liberelio, and Cinderella Anagiole."

"Assuming the worst-case scenario occurs, where four heretics arrive one after another, and Raucous leads the Lechers from within the Sky Ring and the far north to surround us..."

At this point, under the expectant or solemn gazes of the crowd, the lieutenant looked at Huaerqiulei in the corner, stroked his chin, and spoke in a tone that was both casual and helpless.

"Then I'm probably doomed. Everyone who survives will follow Commander Walchure's orders. Red Lotus, Snow White, and Dorothy can do as they please."

"..."

Undoubtedly, the outrageous solution proposed by someone surprised everyone, causing the already not-so-lively atmosphere in the room to grow even colder.

"Ugh—what do you mean '80% sure to die'?! What kind of commander gives Niki a tactical plan like this?!"

Hearing the commander say such ominous things right off the bat, how could Anise possibly contain her fiery temper? She immediately launched into a classic reprimand.

"This is pre-war mobilization! Pre-war mobilization!"

"Even if you don't care about it yourself, Commander, please at least pay attention to the morale of your subordinates!"

Anise's words represented the sentiments of the vast majority of people present. Phoenix first looked at Mihara, then at Labi, and finally at Helen, Honglian, and the others.

Unanimously, everyone's expressions were rather grim. Clearly, the commander's disregard for his own life had genuinely displeased them.

"Ok."

Realizing he might have inadvertently angered the crowd, Phoenix had no choice but to steel himself, straighten his expression, and change his relaxed tone to a serious one, saying:

"Then I'll be frank, and I hope it won't hurt anyone's feelings. First of all, Master, Anker, Signa, and Delta, the four of you can go out first..."

……

……

time,

In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the end of the meeting.

Red Lotus, who had summoned Phoenix to the snow-covered hills to the north in a private capacity, was now silently gazing into the distance, seemingly exchanging glances with her sister, who was dozens of kilometers away.

Why go to such lengths?

As the swordswoman spoke, she didn't glance at the man beside her, as if subconsciously avoiding some unspeakable thoughts.

On the other hand, Phoenix was no fool either, and naturally understood that the other party was worried about his life.

After all, the main task of this trip was to retrieve his sister, Rose. If something were to happen to him, the initiator, during the process, Honglian would surely feel guilty for the rest of his life.

So, the lieutenant considerately comforted him:

"Don't put so much pressure on yourself. Even if you're not here, Rose isn't here either. There are other heretics stationed in Tianhuan. I'll do this job sooner or later."

It's simply a matter of who went first and who went last.

He spoke sincerely. However, to Honglian, it still wasn't an answer; the woman repeated her question:

Why go to such lengths?

"..."

As everyone knows, Fei has never liked discussing serious topics with others. Seeing that the drunkard kept asking, and it seemed like he was going to ask again and again, the lieutenant immediately glared at him and replied irritably.

"Because I still want to wander the world with you, okay?"

"!"

Phoenix was only saying it half true and half false, but Honglian suddenly tossed her white hair, turned her head, and frowned at the lieutenant because of this.

"If you wish to wander the world with me, then I will accompany you."

As for the last sentence, I don't like it, so I'll pretend you never said it.

"..."

Because I want to wander the world with you...

Because I still want to wander the world with you, okay...

"no!"

After a moment of silence, realizing the seriousness of the problem, the man quickly shook his head and said, "Without that last sentence, the meaning of these two sentences is completely different..."

call--

Before Phoenix could finish speaking, a gust of wind howled past, mercilessly irritating his newly repaired eardrums.

The next instant, a delicate and charming face appeared almost nose-to-nose in front of the lieutenant.

"What's wrong?"
