"This can only happen when the Major contacts us. After all, we don't have the authority to contact the Major."
"That's indeed the case."
Hearing this, Vice-Captain Layton couldn't help but think.
"Speaking of which, our Major, when she's on the battlefield, it seems we also call her the Blood Queen."
"That's right. Once the Major is on the battlefield, or rather, once she talks about matters related to war, she immediately seems like a different person. So serious, and so cool!"
"How does she do it, being able to switch between two states so freely!"
"Is there a possibility..."
Angie, codenamed Snow Woman, narrowed her eyes.
"What possibility?"
"Because of my father's influence, I've come into contact with some medical knowledge. In medicine, there's a disease where two consciousnesses can arise within a person's body, called split personality. This split personality can cause a person to exhibit completely different appearances in different states. For example, they might seem very quiet and weak usually, but once a specific condition triggers something, they become incomparably strong and terrifying."
"So, that's a disease?"
"That's right. My father said it's a disease called split personality, a disease of the mind."
Angie said, pointing to her head.
"Um... Isn't it bad for us to talk about the Major like this?"
Smiling Fox Saiou couldn't help but speak from the side, listening to Angie's words. Originally, he was the first to dislike Milize, but now, after spending this time together, he could be said to be a loyal fan of Milize. After all, she's so strong in combat and helped him on the battlefield; it's hard for him to continue disliking her.
"Well, the Major isn't here anyway, she can't hear us."
"Okay."
"Speaking of which...."
Layton also narrowed his eyes.
"Since the Major is a queen on the battlefield, and now the Republic has suddenly become an Empire again, and also has a new founding queen, is there a possibility that the founding queen is the Major?"
"Huh? The Major becoming the founding queen?"
"Impossible!"
Kaye, the girl codenamed Sakura, repeatedly waved her hands.
"Absolutely impossible!"
"The Major is very powerful, that's true, but her personality, how could she really be the queen of a country?"
"Who knows about this kind of thing? You have to know, the Major alone can sweep through the entire legion, and she's very fair to us 86, completely different from those white-skinned pigs, giving us brand new equipment and various supplies. Maybe she'll provoke the other white-skinned pigs."
"According to the personalities of those white-skinned pigs, they'll definitely try to make trouble. If they make trouble and the Major enters combat mode, then the fate of those white-skinned pigs will be..."
For a time, the people of the Vanguard Squad were stunned.
"Layton, your theory... I inexplicably feel that there's a high possibility!"
Saiou nodded very seriously in affirmation.
"Right? Saiou, you think so too. This kind of thing is very possible, right?"
Layton grinned and laughed.
"If the Major really becomes the queen, then it'll be interesting."
"Wouldn't we be the queen's direct squad?"
"Oh, now that you mention it, our status has suddenly risen."
The base was filled with joy for a time, and everyone laughed happily, joking around.
Talking about what they could do if Milize was the queen, what kind of treatment they could have, and so on.
Just as this group of people was happily discussing, the synchronized communication device on their bodies suddenly lit up.
Everyone immediately fell silent.
"Everyone in the Vanguard Squad, are you there?"
Milize's voice appeared in their ears.
"Oh, it's the Major, scared me."
"We're all here, we're all here."
"Major, I heard something happened to the Republic, it's become an Empire. Do you know what's going on?"
From Milize's voice, they knew this was the gentle Milize from usual, so they directly and boldly asked.
"Um... that's indeed the case. The Republic is gone, and now the imperial system has been restored, and..."
"And what? Don't tell me you became the queen, hahaha."
"Um... yes, I became the queen."
"........"
The people of the Vanguard Squad were dumbfounded.
552. The Quilt Queen's Counterattack Legion Plan
The Vanguard Squad's base, the ministers of the Empire's Provisional Cabinet, were all gathered here. The Empire's queen was also here, all gathered here. And opposite them, the members of the Vanguard Squad were looking at this founding queen with surprised expressions.
Having already become the queen, Milize naturally couldn't continue wearing her standard military uniform. These military bigwigs didn't know where they pulled out a gorgeous formal dress, wanting to put it on Milize.
But Milize didn't care for this formal dress at all. Wearing an evening dress to a banquet would be fine, but wearing a formal dress in front of outsiders in broad daylight, what was that supposed to be?
The military ministers looked at Milize's unwillingness to change clothes, and one by one, they didn't know what to do. Then they placed their hopes on Wang Xiaoming. After Wang Xiaoming understood their thoughts, he immediately took out a piece of cloth from his space pocket and cut out a set of Saber King outfits on the spot.
That's right, it was the Saber King wrapped in a quilt. It was very thick, and Wang Xiaoming also gave her a crown very generously, and then let Milize wear it.
Therefore, Milize, standing in front of the Vanguard Squad, was wearing a crown and wrapped in a thick quilt. This posture really shocked the people of the Vanguard Squad.
Was this the Major they usually came into contact with? She really became the queen!
After telling the people of the Vanguard Squad that she had become the queen through the synchronized communication device, Milize immediately sent the army to the front line, preparing to solve the problem of the 86.
After all, the first decree she issued after becoming the queen was to restore the national identity of the 86. Among the 86, she was most familiar with the Vanguard Squad, so she directly chose to come here.
"Major?"
"No, no, no, now we should call you Your Majesty!"
Saiou looked at Milize, who was dressed completely differently, and tentatively opened his mouth, but was quickly interrupted by Layton next to him.
"Yes, yes, yes, now it's Your Majesty!"
Angie also emphasized to Saiou from the side, causing Saiou to couldn't help twitching his mouth.
These two guys, one said the Major had a split personality, and the other said the Major would launch a coup to overthrow the Republic.
Although it seems that both of these things are true now, but the things you guys discussed behind her back were seen!
"It's okay, Layton, we don't need to be so formal between us."
Although Milize became the queen, she was still the same as before. She didn't care at all about what Layton and the others said. She was very aware of how this queen came to be. She had already learned everything from Wang Xiaoming, and after learning everything, she was covered in black lines at the time.
She was actually made queen in an idol-like manner. This was too ridiculous. She felt that those people in the council died so miserably, being inexplicably overthrown by the military, who were originally their accomplices. However, she didn't sympathize with those councilors, because each of them had sufficient crimes, and none of them were wrongly killed.
"Your Majesty, what we care about is not your attitude, but the attitude of those ministers behind you."
Layton couldn't help but rub his forehead. Although he hadn't participated in politics, this situation didn't require a political mind at all. Because the ministers behind Milize had bloodshot eyes when Milize spoke to them, as if they would pounce and tear them apart at any moment.
After all, in the eyes of those ministers, this was like their idol smiling and shaking hands with a group of otaku right in front of them. This kind of thing made them too jealous. They hadn't experienced such wonderful things, so why could this group of otaku experience it!
As long as Layton wasn't an idiot, he could see the terrifying anger in the eyes of those ministers. Jealousy could burn people to death.
So he was feeling a headache now.
Logically speaking, they should be happy that Milize had become queen. After Milize became queen, she was still so close to them, but this closeness might bring them a lot of trouble.
"It's okay, they listen to me completely."
Milize also understood what Layton was worried about and explained with a smile.
"Is this something that can be solved just by listening?"
"Yes, this is something that can be solved just by listening. Trust me."
After all, this was done by Wang Xiaoming. This was the power of ghosts, and the power of ghosts could do anything!
Previously, when Milize requested the liberation of the 86 and the restoration of their national identity, this group of ministers directly agreed without any intention of resistance.
"After all, those who don't listen..."
Milize put on the indifferent expression that Wang Xiaoming usually showed, and the words she said made the members of the Spearhead squadron twitch their mouths.
Ah, they were so busy criticizing this group of white pigs that they forgot that the queen in front of them wasn't an ordinary queen, but a ruthless person who could go to heaven and earth and wipe out an entire legion with one hand.
In front of this kind of ruthless person, the abilities of those ministers weren't so important. As long as it was a military matter, this queen alone could represent the combat power of a country.
"Okay, we understand."
The people of the Spearhead squadron understood Milize's meaning.
"So, Major Milize, what are you here for this time?"
"Just like the notice you received before, you have regained your national identity. If any of you want to withdraw from the army, you can directly submit an application now. I'm here this time to ask you about this matter."
"Withdraw from the army?"
"That's right, because we will launch a counterattack against the Legion next, which may be more dangerous. Although I will also be on the battlefield, I may not be able to take care of everyone. Therefore, I'm asking you if anyone is willing to withdraw from the army? If you withdraw now, I can immediately send someone to arrange for you to return to the 85th district. I have already arranged for people to send all the residents of the 86th district to the 85th district."
"If that's the case, there's no need."
Shin directly refused.
"If it were a few years ago, we might have chosen to withdraw from the army, but now, there's no need to withdraw."
This group of 86s at the forefront had already lost everything they could lose, and all that was left were these teammates.
"But you can still start your new lives."
"We can indeed start new lives, but that will be after we eliminate the Legion."
"That's right! With Major Milize's promise, we completely believe that we will have a wonderful new life, but that will be after we eliminate that Legion. So, let us help you, Major Milize, eliminate those troublesome trash."
Everyone in the Spearhead squadron looked at Milize seriously. Over the past month, they had trusted Milize very much. Therefore, after Milize said that she wanted to counterattack the Legion, not a single one of them chose to leave. Everyone stayed!
553. The Counterattack Plan Begins
Not a single person in the Spearhead squadron retired. They all chose to stay and help Milize eliminate the Legion.
This made Milize very happy. After spending a month together, especially face-to-face, she really liked these comrades in arms. Although Wang Xiaoming was basically controlling her body during battles, the leisure time after battles, chatting with these people, was the most relaxing time for her.
In the 1st district, it was basically flattery between a group of white-haired nobles. Except for her good friend Anrietta, there was basically no one she could talk to. But it was different at the Spearhead squadron's base. The people here spoke nicely, the atmosphere was relaxed, and they could talk about anything. She liked it here the most.
Now that all these people she liked were staying to help her, how could she not be happy?
So, the happy queen directly announced on the spot that the status of the Spearhead squadron would be raised, and Shin would be directly promoted to major. Shin, who originally held the rank of first lieutenant, was directly promoted by one rank.
Of course, Milize also wanted to promote him directly to general, but she felt that it wouldn't be good, so she would promote him by one rank first, to major.
Then the entire Spearhead squadron was changed into the queen's direct subordinate unit. The direct subordinate unit that Layton and the others had mentioned before had really become a reality.
When a man attains the Tao, all his pets ascend to heaven. They belonged to the kind of pets who ascended to heaven.
Launching a counterattack against the Legion wasn't that easy. After all, the Legion had already captured the Republic, oh no, it should be said the Empire now. The Legion had captured all of the Empire's original territory, encompassing the capital's 1st to 85th districts. So now, if they wanted to counterattack the Legion, they not only needed to attack eastward, but they also needed to ensure that the remaining three sides didn't fall while they were actively attacking.
After all, defensive strength was still needed.
The attack could be left to the Spearhead squadron on the eastern front, but what about defense?
Therefore, before launching the counterattack, Milize needed to make some changes to the army.
Although the white-haired race's army had terrible combat power, they still had to go to the front line. Even if they died, they had to block the Legion's attacks!
All the cannons were updated. All the ones that could be used were pulled out. There was no need to fight the enemy in close combat. As long as they saw the enemy approaching, they would bombard them directly, using artillery to wash the ground and intercept the Legion's ground forces.
Although it was said that they had to intercept the Legion's forces even if they died, they couldn't really let all the white-haired people die, because that would cause the Legion to obtain brains as new processing units, which would be troublesome.
So, the main thing was to rely on artillery for long-range ground washing. If close combat was necessary, they could only rely on the 86 units.
Milize directly led the people of the eastern Spearhead squadron to the western, southern, and northern Spearhead squadrons in turn. In front of all the 86s, she announced that they could retire at any time and live in the 85th district. But except for a few people who retired, the rest didn't retire. Shin's name as the Undertaker was very famous among the 86s. With Shin's endorsement and persuasion, these 86s all trusted Milize, especially after Milize really transferred those who originally lived in the 86th district to the 85th district, they trusted Milize even more.
