Chapter 605 Rescue Target: Qingluo
The special vehicle drove into the central area of Fortress 59 and then came to a smooth stop in front of the main gate of the Imperial Command.
Two Imperial soldiers who were on guard at the entrance immediately stepped forward, inspected the vehicle, saluted it, and then returned to their posts.
“We’ve arrived, Major Dorothy. Please follow me.”
The Imperial officer who was driving got out of the car and opened the door for Dorothy, who was sitting in the back seat.
"it is good."
Dorothy nimbly jumped out of the car and curiously looked around. This was her first time in the war zone, so naturally everything was very new and exciting to her.
Who was the commander-in-chief of the Imperial 59th Army again? My boss never told me...
[Hmph, no matter who it is, I have to be at my best. I can't be like that silly girl and embarrass the Qingying Squadron!]
Led by the imperial officer, the two walked through a long corridor and arrived at the door of Ye Yang's office.
"The Commander-in-Chief is inside, Major Dorothy. Mission accomplished, please allow me to take my leave."
The imperial officer's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, leaving only Dorothy alone.
After figuring out in her mind "how to embody the spirit of the mecha hero", she took a deep breath, straightened her chest, and tried to make herself look more dignified as a "hero".
However, Dorothy's petite figure, comparable to the current "tall ruler" of a certain autonomous region in the neighboring Federation, made her look more like a Doro puppy mustering the courage to go out.
Just as Dorothy raised her hand to knock, her knuckles paused for a moment in front of the magnificent golden nanmu door.
Countless "Qingying-style" knocking methods flashed through my mind, from Electra's lightning-fast three-knock combo to Priscilla's bursting down the door...
After much deliberation, Dorothy chose the most decisive and swift move—"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Reporting, Major Dorothy, from the Qingying Squadron of the Imperial Z Mech Army, reporting for duty!"
A few seconds later, a reply came from inside the door, serious yet languid: "Please come in."
Dorothy swallowed hard, then pushed open the door and went into the office.
She had mentally prepared herself to face an imperial general with a serious face, and possibly even a big beard.
Even so, one must maintain the composure that the "elites" are born with.
But the moment Dorothy saw the scene inside the office, all the "pretense" she had rehearsed crumbled instantly, as if it had never existed at all.
In this spacious and bright office, there were no imperial veterans as she had imagined, nor were there mountains of complicated documents.
Only one black-haired girl in military uniform sat quietly behind the desk, savoring the black tea in her hand.
Dorothy had seen that beautiful face countless times in newspaper headlines and on television news.
Princess Ye Yang, one of the most favored imperial heirs by His Majesty the Emperor and the most exalted princess, is the current commander-in-chief of the Imperial 59th Army.
【This...this...this...isn't right!】
Why is it Her Highness the Eldest Princess?!
Why didn't you tell me when we were leaving, boss?!
Dorothy could clearly feel that her tongue was tied in knots, and she couldn't utter a single word.
Her once straight back immediately bent over, like a punctured balloon, and her so-called "elite" temperament vanished instantly.
"Oh...oh...it turns out it was you...Your Highness, Princess...it was...it was I who was rude!"
Dorothy's voice was barely audible, a stark contrast to the loud "report" she had given just moments before outside the door.
She stiffly raised her hand, attempting to give Ye Yang a standard military salute, but due to her height and nervousness, the movement appeared somewhat comical.
Ye Yang gently put down the black tea cup in her hand (she had temporarily replaced the almond milk with black tea), and the cup and saucer gently bumped against the table, making a crisp and pleasant sound.
She raised her deep eyes, her calm gaze falling on Dorothy.
"Relax, Major Dorothy."
Ye Yang's tone was very gentle, completely unlike the imposing general Dorothy had imagined: "Just maintain the most basic etiquette, there's no need to be so reserved. I'm not going to eat you."
Hearing this, Dorothy became even more flustered.
She cautiously glanced around and was surprised to find that Ye Yang wasn't the only one in the office.
Behind Ye Yang, a silver-haired girl carrying a purple-gold katana stood quietly.
It is aloof, solitary, and reserved, like a sleeping sculpture.
The personal maid of the Imperial Princess, the undead spirit Xiang Yuekui with eighth-order dual spiritual power, Mu Xi.
On the sofa in the corner of the room sat a gray-haired, red-eyed girl in Hanfu, exuding arrogance.
She made no attempt to hide the scrutiny in her eyes as she sized up the trembling Dorothy.
Xuan Yuan, a judge dispatched by the Empire to War Zone 59, is a zombie spirit warrior with tenth-tier zombie spirit power.
"sit down."
Ye Yang casually pointed to a sofa in the office, then stood up and sat down opposite Dorothy.
"The pilot of the Paradise Mech, the elite pilot nicknamed 'Candy Burst,' your feat of single-handedly annihilating a Federation armored combined arms brigade is still fresh in my memory."
Hearing Ye Yang's generous praise, Dorothy blushed and couldn't help but grab her skirt, lowering her head shyly like a child being praised.
[Caw! To be remembered by the supreme Princess, even if I were to sacrifice myself for the Empire tomorrow, my life would be worthwhile!]
"Alright, I won't waste any more time. Major Dorothy, Old Z sent you to Fortress 59 to see me. What brings you here?"
Once the conversation turned to business, Dorothy quickly sat up straight, took out a chip, and handed it to Ye Yang with both hands: "Your Highness, the boss sent me to find you this time to assist you in rescuing the reserve member of the Qingying Squadron who was kidnapped by the Redemption Path."
With Dorothy's explanation, Ye Yang and the others finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.
The Elite Squadron of the Empire's Z Mech Army is a project directly overseen by Commander-in-Chief Old Z, with the aim of cultivating a distinctive and powerful special operations mech force for the Empire.
These elite team members were all handpicked by Old Z; they are genius pilots who can perfectly unleash the combat power of the mechs, and their value is self-evident.
The eleven-year-old girl named Qingluo was the model student that Old Z had encountered and personally recruited after arriving in the zombie city not long ago.
Just as Old Z finished recruiting, he had to leave Zombie City due to unforeseen circumstances. Qingluo, who was out alone, was encountered by the Redemption Road and then forcibly kidnapped by the group of villains.
Old Z received Qingluo's distress signal and immediately located the unfortunate child using the locator that had been implanted in her body.
After discovering that Qingluo had been taken into War Zone 59, Old Z contacted nearby army groups and requested them to carry out a rescue operation immediately.
It has only been less than three days since Qingluo was arrested.
Dorothy, who had just finished a field mission and was fast asleep in her dormitory, was also unfortunately conscripted by Old Z.
She set off from the bustling metropolis of Oceania, spending a day crossing the vast ocean to reach War Zone 59 in North America, bringing with her a system chip capable of displaying Qingluo's real-time location.
Only in this way can the Imperial 59th Army pinpoint Qingluo's location and rescue her from the clutches of the Redemption Path.
