boom!

A loud noise came from behind him, and Zhou Mingrui instinctively turned around to see huge fireworks exploding in the sky.

"Setting off fireworks in broad daylight, the Queen certainly has... a refined taste."

As I walked up the gangway toward the Dayu, just as I reached the deck, a sudden, urgent cry came from the sky.

"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!"

Zhou Mingrui looked up and saw a small white bird circling above his head.

"Churi?"

Seemingly hearing Zhou Mingrui call her name, Chuli called even louder, her voice sounding somewhat anxious.

"Choo Choo Choo!"

After circling Zhou Mingrui's head three times, it immediately flew towards the direction of the royal palace.

Something's not right... Chuli seems to be trying to convey a message.

Zhou Mingrui frowned and quickly walked towards the CIC of the Dayu.

"Commander, contact the banquet hall immediately..."

The commander on duty paused for a moment, then asked, "What happened?"

"I don't know, but someone reminded me that something might have happened over at the banquet hall."

"Contact the banquet hall immediately..." The commander thought for a moment and gave the order to the communications officer. It wouldn't hurt to just make contact.

Before they could even make contact, a red alarm lit up on the communicator.

"Commander, the ambassadorial delegation has issued a response, contingency plan number 234!"

This is a pre-prepared emergency plan. If a problem occurs, simply sending a simple signal will activate the corresponding plan, allowing the Dayu spacecraft to take targeted action.

"234... Coup! Deploy drones immediately!"

Soon, the ASN-104 unmanned reconnaissance aircraft was pushed out of the container by the staff. Propelled by the rocket engine, the two drones quickly took off and flew towards the royal palace under the control of the operator.

"Commander, there's a situation!"

Under the detection of the reconnaissance drone's electro-optical sensor, the female officer who was engaged in fierce combat with the intelligence department soldiers was quickly spotted, and a purple figure cleanly and efficiently took down several soldiers.

"Corliss?"

After seeing the purple figure clearly, Zhou Mingrui was somewhat incredulous. Goodness... I didn't realize that the well-behaved girl, Corliss, was quite capable!

But why are these soldiers arresting her? Surely she's not like Ellie, the granddaughter of Queen Estée? Come to think of it, they do look somewhat alike...

Shortly after, another drone also transmitted the situation inside the banquet hall to Dayu.

Looking at that dazzling red streak, Zhou Mingrui clicked his tongue. Sure enough, that Charlie had a shifty look on his face; he was no good!

"Immediately prepare the Jiaolong Special Forces; we must rescue the ambassadorial delegation!"

The Z-9 helicopters in the hangar were pushed out to refuel, while the special operations team on the Dayu ship prepared for battle.

The combat zone is the castle area, primarily consisting of Closed Quarters Battle (CQB).

"Commander! There's an emergency at the port's forts!"

In the images transmitted back by the photoelectric probe, the gun emplacement at the port slowly rotated, aiming at the Dayu ship that was docked.

Meanwhile, soldiers from some kingdoms were approaching the Dayu Ship, among which the most eye-catching were several tank-like vehicles.

Chapter 40 Rightful Claim

Swish!

The rapier struck the thigh of the intelligence soldier chasing her, causing blood to gush out. Without hesitation, Corey delivered a spinning kick to the soldier's head, knocking him unconscious.

"Huh...huh..."

Corliss was slightly out of breath; the intense exercise in such a short time had left her forehead covered in fine beads of sweat.

"Chirp! Chirp!"

Birdsong rang out above Corliss's head.

"Churi?!"

"Chirp~!"

Chuli chirped happily, landed not far from Corliss, shook her head, and then flew towards the direction of the Dayu.

Just then, Corliss noticed several intelligence personnel talking to the port's garrison, and a bad feeling immediately arose in her heart.

Corliss glanced at the white hull, gripped her rapier slightly, took a deep breath, and ran towards the Dayu.

..............

Zhou Mingrui stared blankly at the boxy armored vehicles that had no concept of angled armor.

"tank?"

But what use is something that's almost identical to a first-generation tank? Can it withstand the attacks that every Chinese soldier carries, one or two of them?

It's said that now even individual rabbit soldiers are practically turning into humanoid six-barreled rocket launchers...

It's obvious without even thinking that it must have been that damned Charlie who forged the imperial edict and mobilized the capital's garrison... Soldiers are duty-bound to obey orders, and even if the garrison at the port had doubts about the order, they would carry it out first and then raise their questions.

Zhou Mingrui was also in a bit of a dilemma. Under these circumstances, the rabbit would definitely take action. The rabbit is not a ninja turtle. It's just that many of its countermeasures have not been publicized. Its technique of stabbing people in the back is quick, accurate and ruthless!

The main concern is that if the counterattack is too forceful, it could lead to a capital defense war like India's... which would have a significant negative impact on future cooperation.

If a xenophobic movement were to erupt among the people of the kingdom, the cooperation might fall through completely.

"Commander, a nobleman from a kingdom wishes to see Major Zhou Mingrui..." a sailor holding a 95B assault rifle saluted and reported.

"noble?"

Zhou Mingrui looked towards the entrance of CIC and saw Corliss, who was breathing somewhat unsteadily, looking at him with a worried expression.

"Mr. Zhou Mingrui, a coup has occurred, and the palace has been seized..."

“We know.” Zhou Mingrui pointed to the footage sent back by the drone, which clearly showed what was happening inside.

"This is?"

Corliss stared in disbelief at the scene in the video. She could clearly see Queen Estée arguing with Lieutenant Charlie.

"In fact, it wasn't just a coup; this Captain Charlie also falsely claimed to be acting on the Queen's orders, and the port garrison has already moved in..."

Corliss's face turned deathly pale, and she swayed as if she could already see the scene of the two sides about to fight.

"Is there no way to avoid it?" Corliss asked, biting her lip. Zhou Mingrui breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, she hadn't made any comments about cerebral palsy.

"Miss Corliss, there is no way we can surrender. We have never surrendered, we do not surrender now, and we will never surrender in the future!"

Zhou Mingrui said seriously, "Let me first emphasize their attitude: you want them to surrender? You'll have to step over their dead bodies!"

“Let me go and persuade the port garrison!” Corliss said, taking a deep breath.

"You?" Zhou Mingrui suddenly had a sense of familiarity.

"Yes, persuade them by virtue of being the granddaughter of Queen Estelle of the Kingdom of Bell!"

Good heavens... Zhou Mingrui knows these girls from another world, and their identities are all extraordinary!

Her idea was good, but based on the intelligence gathered, there was no information about a royal granddaughter at all. In other words, Corliss had never been exposed to the public since childhood, and the entire Kingdom of Bel was completely unaware of her.

"Your Highness, Princess Corliss, can you guarantee that everyone recognizes you?"

A person's identity isn't something you can just decide; it requires the approval of others... If she just jumps out like that, she might end up losing everything!

A coup d'état is no dinner party!

"I..."

Corliss opened her mouth, she had never felt so powerless. Indeed, as Zhou Mingrui said, her identity had just been revealed at the banquet, and only the high-ranking members of the banquet knew her. It had not been publicized to the outside world yet, and her current identity was that of an inconspicuous student.

"Then...what should we do? Mr. Zhou Mingrui..." Corliss looked up at Zhou Mingrui, completely bewildered.

"Simply put, since a conflict seems inevitable, we have no choice but to use swift and decisive measures to show our compassion!"

Cut the Gordian knot and restore order!

"However, before that, Your Highness Princess Corliss, we hope that you can grant us the authority to reasonably defend ourselves and retaliate within the kingdom's territory... We will take action to rescue the trapped diplomatic team and Her Majesty the Queen, and do our best to minimize the losses to a manageable extent."

Corliss stared into Zhou Mingrui's eyes as if trying to see through his heart, the meaning in her eyes was clear: Can you be trusted?

"Your Highness Princess Corliss...we have the capability, the determination, and the means to resolve our current predicament!"

Corliss turned her head to look at the scene in the palace and nodded.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Zhou Mingrui."

"We will live up to your expectations!"

Now that the kingdom's official leadership has authorized the operation, the next steps can be considered perfectly legitimate.

However, with only the personnel on board the Dayu, this rescue operation will be somewhat difficult... No problem, the Dayu has external support, and the number of troops involved also needs to be carefully considered.

Indeed, Zhou Mingrui could open a portal, and a massive horde of rabbits could flood into the capital, easily wiping out Charlie... But after the coup is resolved, how do you explain where these people came from? Were they prepared in advance?

The Kingdom of Bel is just technologically backward, not really stupid!

"Activate XT-01 and prepare the Jiaolong Special Forces!"

"Understood, Commander!"

Inside the container, the XT-01 photoelectric sensor, which was in standby mode, suddenly lit up and slowly walked out of the container after waking up from standby.

The photoelectric sensor detected the Kingdom's garrison in the port. After the IFF identified them as the enemy, the HJ-12 missile was powered on.

The fire control computer inputs the Kingdom Tank's data into the guidance head, and the advanced thermal imaging focal plane array guidance head locks onto the target.

At the same time, the Jiaolong Special Forces were ready for battle, and heavily armed soldiers quickly boarded the prepared Z-9 helicopters.

The first step is to eliminate the port's garrison and fortifications, and then occupy and control the port of the capital.
