Inside the Flagship, the internal structure was similar to what Shasha had previously destroyed. The spaceships seen in those Science Fiction Movies all seemed to follow this design, leading one to wonder if the directors had ever been abducted by aliens.
Wearing the Destroyer Armor, Shasha made his way toward the control room. Along the way, the Mechanical Gluttons were reduced to dust without making a sound, and everything went smoothly until he reached the door of the control room.
However, just as Shasha was about to breach the door, a conversation caught his attention.
“Sunlight is about to be transferred to a new location of confinement. Leader Shi Ao has chosen our side; the transfer ship has already reached Earth's trajectory and will arrive in three cycles. We must ensure everything goes smoothly.”
“Yes, Your Excellency, the Stag!”
This brief exchange revealed several pieces of information. Reina was not missing but had been captured and imprisoned by Tao Tie. Furthermore, Tao Tie's main fleet was operating just outside Earth's atmosphere, including their mothership where Shi Ao was located. Lastly, it seemed they were facing some trouble or had issues that needed resolving, which prompted the relocation of Reina's confinement.
Thoughts raced through Shasha's mind as he continued his actions. With a single punch, he shattered the door. In an instant, Tao Tie's defensive attacks came rushing at him, but he unleashed Vibration, incapacitating all the Tao Tie inside the control room, leaving only the captain of the Flagship. “Tell me, where will Sunlight be transferred?”
The captain struggled against Shasha's grip on his throat, gasping for air. “I won't tell you, Earthling.”
“Won't you?” Shasha replied coldly. He knew many ways to make someone wish for death using Vibration; although aliens were not human, they could not escape biological structure.
After some intense persuasion, the captain finally spoke and was relieved of his suffering.
Throwing aside the lifeless body, Shasha pressed his lips together tightly. He had three weeks before Reina would be moved from space to Luoyang City. This meant Luoyang City had to be secured; only then would he have a chance to rescue Reina.
“Side Quest: Save Sunlight. Knowing that Sunlight is imprisoned ignites your urgent desire to rescue them; however, you must ensure Luoyang City does not fall. Will you delay the battle in Luoyang to save Reina or seek reinforcements from North Star and abandon her? The choice is yours alone.”
“Rescue Reina: Gain Reina's affection beyond limits; reward: 000 Energy Points, one high-level draw, universal Reputation value 1000.”
“Reinforce North: Reina is severely injured; winning chances in the northern battle increase. Reward: 4000 Energy Points, one high-level draw, universal Reputation value 000.”
This was essentially forcing him to sacrifice personal feelings for national interests, even resorting to inducements as leverage.
With a gloomy expression, Shasha destroyed all the buttons in the Flagship's control room and communicated with Rosa to open the wormhole.
As the Flagship fell, the beheading operation was completed, yet Shasha couldn't bring himself to feel any joy.
Almost everyone could see that he was in a bad mood, but he didn't care, and no one would foolishly ask him about it. They all understood his personality.
The meeting to discuss the offensive to reclaim Luoyang City did not include him; they simply planned to inform him after they finished discussing.
However, just as they were excitedly preparing to finalize their plans, Shasha appeared and said, "Can we wait until after the week to fight this battle?"
Everyone fell silent, and Rosa's expression darkened. "Do you know how critical the situation is for North Star right now? We can't afford to delay even a moment. If North Star falls, it will demoralize all our troops in the field! Our leadership will also be paralyzed. Have you considered the consequences of this?"
Shasha looked at her expressionlessly. "Of course I know the consequences, but I want to save Reina!"
At this statement, everyone's expressions changed. Glen immediately asked, "What happened to Anna?"
Observing the concerned gazes of everyone and Rosa's silent demeanor, Shasha slowly continued, "When I infiltrated the Flagship, I learned that Reina is imprisoned on their mothership in outer space, and she will be transferred to Earth in three weeks. The transfer location is Luoyang City."
The joy on everyone's faces faded slightly as they finally understood why Shasha was so troubled. It was a dilemma between personal feelings and national interests—a headache of a choice.
No one dared to gamble on whether North Star would fall afterward. Even if they rescued Reina, would it benefit them? Would it provide any help? Or would capturing Reina give them a method to harness dark energy?
All these were uncertainties that made them hesitant even to think further.
After a long pause, Rosa broke the silence. "The operation proceeds as planned; everyone should prepare quickly."
Shasha was taken aback by her words, while Huo Ran's expression changed. "Are you saying we won't rescue Reina?"
"Then teach me what to do!" Rosa shouted for the first time in anger. "Are you going to let me watch North Star fall? Just for one person? Zhengzhou has already fallen, which means they have opened a path to attack North Star. Now North Star is surrounded by Tao Tie and could be breached at any moment!"
Shasha's face darkened, her fists clenched tightly. "You all take the long way around; I will go save Reina myself!"
"Brother Xia—"
"Don't mind him!" Rosa interrupted Glen, her delicate features filled with fury. "This is his business; it has nothing to do with us. Since he wants to go fight Luoyang City alone, let him. We are heading to North Star!"
Reaching this point, a break was inevitable. Shasha had always worried about this issue, which is why she had been forced to come out today, but it had ultimately evolved into this situation.
The next day, the main force set out, leaving Shasha alone here, facing the entire enemy of Luoyang City by herself. She was unafraid; she just hoped that this way, both sides could achieve their goals.
But is there really such a thing as a perfect solution in this world?
