Listening to the trumpet

“…Ah goodbye, dear mother!

Please kiss your child goodbye!

Bye bye mom! Don’t be sad, don’t be sad.

Wish us a safe journey…”

“Tuk, tuk, tuk.”

“Come in.” Mo Yanqiu lay on the hospital bed and stopped humming.

Hearing this, Yiyi pushed open the door and walked in.

“I wonder how you’ve recovered?” she said politely.

“Very good, I can already get out of bed, I believe I will soon regain my fighting ability.,” Mo Yanqiu said.

Hearing that, Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief
“That’s great, not everyone can survive under forty-two times the gravity, thanks to the company’s help, I did not have to dismantle the life support device… …”

“Um… eh? What did you just say?”

“It’s nothing, it’s just a trivial matter.” Yiyi said casually, “Do you know your current situation?”

“Say.”

“Okay.” Yiyi took out her notebook.

“In that mission, according to statistics, you destroyed a total of 172 mechas, and killed eleven elite pilots and one ace on record. Now the major mercenary companies have listed you as an ace. In the field of pilots, in short, your new security company has already made a name for itself.”

‘However, there is a price.” Yiyi turned the page.

“When we found you, your bones were broken and your internal organs were displaced—of course, it’s not important, and we rescued you in the end. But Mecha suffered. A large number of parts of its body were crushed by gravity. It can be said that the whole mecha was scrapped, so we pulled it back and replaced it with a new debugged one. Now, if you don’t mind, come take a look with me.”

Mo Yanqiu’s eyes fell on her hospital gown.

“You go out first, I’ll change clothes and come out.”

“Okay.” Saying that, Yiyi went out. Mo Yanqiu hummed while taking out her clothes from the closet and putting them on.

“Those white bandits are only a bunch of flies, after all. To desire to trample us under their feet is stupid. The Red Army is the most powerful force in the world, from the coast of England to Siberia.”

“This is the improved Mecha.” Yiyi pointed at the seven-metre-high mecha in the hangar. Mo Yanqiu looked up and saw that there was no difference except for a slightly bloated backpack on its back.

“What is that thing on the mecha’s back?” Mo Yanqiu pointed.

“It’s a high-speed short-range attack aircraft.”
Yiyi glanced at the thing and then said, “It is 4 metres long, has a wingspan of 1.7 metres, and is one metre high. It is equipped with laser weapons and can perform tasks such as reconnaissance, escort, and auxiliary strikes.”

“Just a fighter jet doesn’t seem to do much,” Mo Yanqiu said.

“That’s another good news I said.” Yiyi turned on all the lights in the hangar, and Mo Yanqiu finally saw the whole picture of the huge hangar. It turned out that there were actually six more black mechas in the hangar!

“The ‘Herdwolfman’ land combat mecha, produced by the Legion Research Institute, is six metres high and weighs sixty-five tons. It is equipped with an electromagnetic cannon, thermal daggers and small nuclear weapons. It is inexpensive and suitable for team fighting. I will give you the number of mechas for two squads, each captain is equipped with an attack mecha, and the command is in your hands, of course, you have to find the pilot yourself.”

“Let’s go back to your Mecha. According to the last mistake, the company has improved the body. The specific performance is the same as the shepherd Wolf. The propeller is added to the legs, and it is equipped with a survival device and a low-level artificial intelligence system, which can be used by the driver. Do some actions without the mecha, as long as it is used in conjunction with your individual auxiliary equipment. At the same time, we have also improved the power system, reducing the maximum power to a safe range, even if it is overloaded, you can at most It’s only five times the gravity, and with your current body and the anti-G suit, you can fully bear it,” Yiyi said lightly.

At this time, Mo Yanqiu received news from Horton.

“Miss, are you free?”

“What’s the matter, Horton?”

“There is a commission here… It is very complicated. Please come to Morella’s station in person.”

“Okay.” Mo Yanqiu cut off the call, frowned and stepped into the vehicle leading to the station.

————————————

Morella was the second largest city in Phitia.

“Our boss has arrived in person, please wait a moment,” Holden said to the customer in front of him.

This time, the clients were two locals, one old and one young. The old man was wearing costumes with local ethnic characteristics, and the young one was a girl with sun-tanned skin that was full of youthful vigour. Hearing this, their faces were half happy and half worried.

“If I remember correctly, the leader of your company…is the ‘Butcher of Triega’?” The old man asked after a moment of hesitation.

“Yes.” Horton nodded. “However, our boss’s code name in the company is ‘Dark Emperor’. I believe she will like this title more.”

“Then, the cost issue…”

“This needs to be decided by the boss. After all, this commission is… very complicated for us,” Holden said after a pause.

Finally, after an hour, Mo Yanqiu finally walked into the living room.

“What’s wrong with Horton?” she asked.

“That’s right, Miss,” Horton said to Mo Yanqiu.

“Mr. Adeya and Miss Muliwa want us to… attack their competitors.”

“It doesn’t seem complicated, my dear butler.” Mo Yanqiu frowned.

“The problem is…their competitor…is the Mo Family Group.” Horton said hesitantly.

“Uh…Dragon Kingdom?”

“Yes. Dragon Kingdom, people from other families also intervened.”

“…” Mo Yanqiu was silent, and after a while she raised her head and said to the young and old,
“Please tell me the details.”

Then she saw that the old and the young
showed a confused look.

“bozi si, ke zali va luza.wuvi muti lida wuzhiva.”
(Phitiah: the boss said, tell everything, we need to know this.) Horton said as if remembering something.

Mo Yanqiu listened silently. At the same time, the old man began to speak, Horton translated it.

“They sent to our market at very low prices that we couldn’t compete with, and then our entire industry went bankrupt, and they raised the price, opened factories on our land, and Hiring our young people to work at very low prices, not working day and night for a meagre salary, and a lot of people dying of exhaustion.”

“Since then, we have lost factories, mines, workers and farmers have less income, but we have to pay taxes and it has no change. If we don’t pay taxes, we will be thrown into prison. In order to pay taxes, we have to borrow money. Their debts are getting heavier and heavier.”

“You should go to your officials, not to us.” Mo Yanqiu’s expression did not change.

“It’s useless, the Haya – er, nobles – took their money, the courts and the police are protecting them, they don’t care if we live or die.”

Hearing this, Mo Yanqiu frowned. She was quite clear about the situation in this world: the wealthy family controlled the country, and the commoners could only survive by labour. Or…they don’t even realize it?

Thinking of this, Mo Yanqiu said, “I’m sorry, I can’t accept this employment.”

When Horton translated these words to the old man and the young girl, and loneliness appeared on their faces.

“However, we can support you in another aspect,” Mo Yanqiu said with a slight twitching at the corners of her mouth.
