"Rescued?"

Standing under the big umbrella in the garden, some tall and tall old people stretched out their hands to touch the raindrops outside.

"Yes,"

The middle-aged officer nodded slightly, his words filled with some disbelief.

"To be precise, it was the mayor who saved the first mecha team.

"He first eliminated Lieka's mecha by himself, and then discovered the disguised high-energy guided missile before the mecha team. He also gave the mecha team a hint and asked them to adjust the muzzle. Without that hint, first

The mecha squad was probably wiped out."

"Then they intercepted the guided missile?"

The old man took back his hand, looked at the middle-aged officer beside him, and asked hoarsely.

"Judging from the report of the mecha team, there were some twists and turns in the whole process. The speed of the guided missile seemed to be higher than the normal data, which caused the Seraph mecha's automatic auxiliary aiming to be unable to keep up with the missile at a longer distance.

speed, so theoretically, even if they detect the missile in advance, there will definitely be casualties,"

Having said this, the middle-aged officer paused, "But the mayor himself is safe at this time. As long as he uses the mecha team as a shield, he can escape smoothly."

"But he didn't do that?"

The old man raised his head and looked through the night towards the dark city in the distance.

"Yes,"

The middle-aged officer's tone increased slightly, "He himself flew an aerial fighter plane as a decoy, changed the direction of the missile through several high-maneuvering operations, and created a suitable attack opportunity for the mecha team. He also determined the positioning data himself, so that

The mecha team was able to predict the attack and finally intercepted those missiles at the critical moment."

"Like something he would do,"

The old man nodded slightly, then seemed to realize something, and asked with a little doubt, "You said he piloted the aerial fighter himself?"

"Yes,"

When the middle-aged man said this, his whole tone was filled with disbelief.

"At first, the mecha team thought it was his guard captain who was controlling the floating fighter plane, but later they found out that he had been controlling it all along.

"Honestly, judging from the report sent back by the mecha team, there is probably no one in the entire Nancheng city defense force who can match this kind of floating fighter control technology.

"Judging from his familiarity with mecha control, he is probably a very skilled mecha pilot himself."

"Um?"

At this moment, a look of surprise appeared on Covey's old cheeks. Finally, he sighed slowly, "It doesn't sound like a civil official, but more like a brave and resourceful warrior."

"Yes, your choice is right,"

The middle-aged army also sighed in agreement, "When I didn't have contact with the mayor before, I thought he was a little indecisive. Now it seems that we are one-sided. If what happened today is reported back to the city defense army, I'm afraid there will be a lot of gains."

Supporters, I think he is becoming more and more heroic now."

"Didn't you tell me privately half an hour ago that you think the mayor is still a bit unreliable? You said that his courage to come to Nancheng tonight may be temporary, and we need to observe it again."

A slight smile appeared on Covey's old face and he glanced at the middle-aged officer.

"cough,"

The middle-aged officer coughed lightly and said, "Didn't I observe this? Please stop teasing me."

Having said this, he paused slightly and asked in a low voice, "Do we need to keep the First Mecha Team secret about what happened tonight? If the mayor's reputation in the city defense army is too high, will he treat us badly?"

Will subsequent decisions be affected?”

"Need not,"

Covey glanced at the rain curtain outside the umbrella, looked at the dark city outside the rain curtain, and slowly shook his head, "Since we are cooperating, we must show our sincerity. The wind and rain will rise, and vacillation will lead to disaster."

The middle-aged officer looked at the rain curtain in front of him and seemed a little confused, but he still nodded solemnly, "Yes."

"Has the First Mecha Team sent an invitation to the mayor?"

Covey did not continue on this topic, but slowly asked.

"He declined our invitation,"

The middle-aged officer whispered, "He seems to want to go back to the mayor's palace."

"Um."

Covey responded softly, his eyebrows lowered, thoughtfully.

"General, why is he so persistent in wanting to go back? We are obviously safer here."

The middle-aged officer hesitated and asked in a low voice.

"If he really hides here with us, then he is not who he is,"

Covey smiled and shook his head and said with a slight sigh.

"With the current situation, wouldn't it be dangerous for the mayor to return to the mayor's mansion now?"

The middle-aged officer asked in a low voice.

"Why do you think he came to our place tonight?"

Covey glanced back at the middle-aged officer.

"To ease our relations and prevent us from launching a coup?"

The middle-aged officer was stunned.

"This is on the premise that we have no coup and have détente,"

Covey asked, "What if we are completely on the opposite side of him? What if he can't ease up with us? Why doesn't he go north to find Scott compared to us who seem to be in danger?"

"ah?"

The middle-aged officer was stunned.

"Because the mayor's palace is in the south,"

Covey raised his gaze and looked forward, "From the very beginning, he planned to return to the Mayor's Mansion.

"The more chaotic the situation, the more he will stand at the center of the storm and tell everyone that he is there and has always been there. This will give his supporters great confidence."

"Most of the mayor's office should still be controlled by him, otherwise he wouldn't have been assassinated today."

Covey's turbid gaze passed through the raindrops in front of him, "As long as no one launches a mutiny, he is still safe in the mayor's palace.

"As long as he is alive and as long as the city council's impeachment of him has not succeeded, he will still be the mayor of Ilan and the nominal supreme ruler of the entire Ilan.

"What he wants is not just to survive the immediate crisis, but to continue the reforms he has left unfinished,

"So he must stabilize Nancheng's city defense force. As long as Nancheng is stable, his mayor's office will be stable.

"Then he can rely on the support of Nancheng's army and the mayor's legal authority to start the next showdown with the consortium."

"Come this far,"

The middle-aged Jun was slightly stunned and said with emotion, "He is still thinking about further competing with the consortium?"

Then he paused slightly and seemed to realize something, "Can he really succeed? Do we really have to put all the chips on him? Although he showed such strong personal ability today, but his personal

The impact of power on the situation..."

Although he personally admires and admires the mayor's personal abilities, when he makes a decision, he must also consider the situation of the entire Nancheng City Defense Force and the situation of the entire city.

"After making a choice, don't be half-hearted,"

Covey looked back at him and said, "He returned to the Mayor's Mansion calmly tonight to show his trust in us."

"yes."

The middle-aged officer looked at the old man's calm expression and lowered his head.

Covey looked back at the middle-aged man's expression. He didn't explain too much, but said slowly,

"We should also take some actions to show our attitude,"

Then he paused for a moment, as if he was thinking. After a moment, he said slowly, "Send a reconnaissance team to the vicinity of the Mayor's Mansion to provide peripheral intelligence support for the Mayor's Mansion."

Then he looked at the middle-aged officer, "Is the First Mecha Team still with him?"

When Covey mentioned this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across the middle-aged officer's face. He coughed lightly and said slowly, "The First Mecha Team sent me a message saying that if there is a need, they hope to stay with Mr. Mayor.

By my side, I will serve as the mayor’s bodyguard for the time being.”

"This old guy kidnapped my most elite mecha team in one trip, right?"

When Covey heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed dumbly, "Call back the first mecha team and promise them to temporarily serve as Mayor Linn's bodyguards and follow Mayor Linn's instructions.

"Let them do their best to protect the mayor's safety.

"Send the second mecha team to station at the east gate closest to the mayor's palace."

Then he withdrew his gaze and looked at the rain curtain, his voice calm and clear, "Go ahead, don't relax, this is also a battlefield."

"yes!"
