It's a new week, I'm looking for a vote~~~

===============================================================================================

When Rhodes returned, Helen had finished talking to the bigwigs of the Earth United. When Rhodes walked to the factory gate, Andrea and others were still standing straight at the door. It had been hours since they even changed the sentries of the factory, but these elite soldiers had never moved their steps.

"Oh, Captain Rhodes, you are really leisurely. I hired you, probably not to ask you to visit the academy." Helen Wimbledsburg seemed to have been waiting at the door for a while. Seeing Rhodes slowly coming from the corridor, the woman said sarcastically.

"That's so sorry, but the elites under my command can still ensure your safety. Am I right? Andrea." Rhode ignored Helen, and even his face did not show any impatience because of the latter's attitude.

"Yes, we can guarantee Miss Helen's absolute safety." Andrea stood straight, and the woman who was stronger than most men smiled. This smile was self-confidence.

Rhode opened his hand and smiled, "As you can see, my men are the most powerful warriors in the Earth Circle, so you don't have to worry at all."

Helen Wimbledon was stunned, but he avoided this unpleasant topic. He walked away and chuckled, "So what does our leader Rhode feel when visiting the academy? I wonder if this leisurely environment is in line with your taste?"

"You are joking. As a mercenary, I can adapt to all environments, so the same is true here. And I just met some interesting teenagers, and talking to them was like returning to my school days." Rhode smiled, his face reflected the artificial sunlight and looked very gentle, and no one could tell that this man was a wild beast.

Helen had already walked to the car door at the entrance of the college. When she heard Rhode's words, she turned around in confusion and asked, "Student? So what was our student days like for the time of President Rhode? Forgive me, I'm just curious."

Rhode nodded, actually he was also confused, because he had never experienced university life in his previous life, and in his college years he was also in the Armored Soldier Academy in Vienna. However, when the car started, Rhode slowly said: "Study some mechanical things all day long, um... When I was about to graduate, I sat in a small tank to suppress the unarmed ordinary people. Believe me, there was nothing you were interested in when I was a student, it was nothing but the smell of gunpowder and engine oil."

Rhode slowly recalled, whether in his past or present life, his best youth was dedicated to the military camp and to killing. No matter how he recalled it, he could only hear the sound of automatic rifles shooting continuously. It seemed like the joyful life of the boy named Kira who had never experienced it.

"Oh? Is that sad or pitiful?" As a daughter-in-law, Helen Wimbledon could not understand this kind of life. In her impression, when she was in her teens, she should have fun with her friends and then enjoy a peaceful life.

"Sad? Poor?" Rhode smiled mockingly. He touched his chest, where a shrapnel once left a deep mark on him. "I volunteered to participate in the war. As a man, my value can only be reflected in the battlefield of blood and fire. My hands are not born to hold a black tea cup. When you live on the battlefield and use your skills to kill one fool after another, you can deeply understand your strength!!"

"Sorry, I can't understand your philosophy of life." Helen was stunned for a moment, and said with some depression. Her hand took out a page of the document from her bag and handed it to Rod, "But I still found a job for you, and this commission should satisfy you."

Rhode didn't expect that there would be a new commission so soon, and he had to admire the energy of the woman in front of him. He glanced quickly, raised his head and stared at Helen and said, "Earth is united? Let's attack the ZAFT army's supply ship? And the combat data needs to be shared?"

"Yes, this is a commission issued by the Earth United Space Army Command. After this success, the Space Army Command has more commissions waiting for you."

After hearing Helen's words, Rhode smiled coldly and asked, "So, is this a test? Or are you all the priests of the Earth United still doubting the strength of the Silver Wolf?"

"That's your reputation on earth, and it's not applicable to it when you get it into the universe." Helen answered without turning her head.

"What about the previous commission? A ZAFT army squad was completely repelled by us."

"That was a commission from the Waste Merchants Association. The Earth Army will not admit it. So will you accept or not accept the commission this time?" Helen suddenly turned her head and asked in a serious tone.

"Of course I accept the commission. I can't get in touch with the cosmic army that is united on Earth, but next time I don't want it to be the commission from the other side of the earth?" Rhode replied in a deep voice.

"Why? Is the commission fee of the Earth Army not high enough?"

"Miss Helen, you have to know that I am a businessman, and the Silver Wolf Mercenary Group is also a free mercenary group. My business requires both parties to do it. I don't want to turn the Silver Wolf into a joint foreign legion on Earth! So I also have to do the ZAFT business." Rhodes had his own idea. Now the Silver Wolf has registered on ZAFT. He doesn't want the Silver Wolf to become the new weapon test target of ZAFT, although there is already this trend.

"But PLANT didn't contact you." Helen felt that the man in front of her was too smart, and she could see at a glance the purpose of Earth United's goal to recruit them.

"Then I have to rely on you, Miss Helen Wimbledon, I believe your energy and my relationship with PLANT can bring us ZAFT friendship." Rhode crossed his hands and replied steadily, as if he knew better than Helen himself.

As soon as he finished speaking, Helen stared at the man in front of her for a few seconds, and then slowly said: "Then I will do my best. You must know that some of my friends are from the Klein school in PLANT, and ZAFT under the control of the Sara school is not so easy to settle."

"I never asked you to settle anything! I just wanted the coordinator to know that our Silver Wolf Mercenary Group could do anything as long as it was given money. There was no problem targeting a certain force in the past or now!"

"Then do you want to get along with the world? In fact, fighting with the Earth Army is also a good thing. Moreover, the consortiums standing behind your Silver Wolf are all industries on the earth." Helen understood Rhode's meaning, but she mentioned it casually.

"Then will you tie yourself to Aubu or the chariot of the Earth? As for those consortiums, their funding is just to let us solve some things that cannot be seen for them. The direction of this war has nothing to do with them. As long as the earth is not destroyed, then this war is just a money tree." Rhode asked back, and to survive in this world where the strong prey on the weak, appropriate means are absolutely indispensable.

"Including LOGOS?" Helen smiled slightly and asked in Rhode's surprised eyes.

"Oh? It seems that I underestimate you. Yes, LOGOS is indeed one of our sponsors, but the blue cosmos under their control are just toys that control audio-visuals. If this war continues, it will be their ideal." Rhode glanced at the girl without showing his expression, and didn't care about the other party's investigation so clearly. Silver Wolf is not scary, what is scary is the consortium bosses who are constantly investing behind Silver Wolf! But their control is not strong, and they just enjoy preferential policies in some aspects.

"I understand, I will contact PLANT." Helen was silent for a while and gave a positive answer.

Half a day later, the shuttle returned from Leopolis to Hayeser, Helen Wimbledon, and continued her conspiracy, while Rhodes returned to the airport, where the 255M fast cruiser "Fenrier" had been renovated and was spreading the sharp fangs of the demon wolf, ready to take off into the universe to tear all enemies into pieces.

The single-mounted 120MM beam cannon has been prepared, and the 450MM electromagnetic cannon from Baku is installed in two turrets, which will greatly supplement the long-range firepower of the warship. Although the short-range air cannon is still half empty, this warship is also the most powerful killing machine among the mercenaries in the Earth Circle.

"The whole ship is in good condition, and the personnel at all positions have undergone special training, so it is no problem to participate in the battle." Brandt Valris reported to Rhodes sitting in the commander's position in the wide bridge.

"Very good, how is the system assembly?" Rhode nodded and asked again.

"No problem at all, the fire control system has been adjusted." Mingshen Zhou, who was sitting in the CIC position, replied. The little girl was not tired at all. This was in sharp contrast with Brandt, who had two panda eyes. It can be seen that the scientific research team and the preparation team have worked overnight in the past few days.

"Then let's attack and let those who question us see the true power of the Silver Wolf." Rhode clenched his fists tightly, as if he couldn't wait to show his power.

"I understand." The "Knight" on the captain's seat nodded. Although he had never had the experience of commanding a warship, he had worked overtime to learn from Pike during this period, at least he was already quite good now.

"Put off the restraint device and move forward one-third of the speed of the ship!" He waved his hand and ordered.

"Yes! Put away the restraint device, and the entire ship is moving forward one-third of the speed!!" The helmman repeated the command, then pressed the ignition button, and the injector at the tail of the Fenrier began to spray out light blue flames.

The Fenrier slowly accelerated and slowly escaped from the Universe Harbor, and the posture controller of the entire body of the battleship also began to eject, and the 255M long ship began to turn with the posture controller.

"Direction: The third channel on the back of the moon! The goal is to completely destroy the ZAFT army's supply fleet." It was then that Rhodes informed the course that from now on, the ship will communicate completely silently, and kill its prey like a ghost.

"Yes! Change the course! Enter the second level of alert." Even though it took half a day to reach the destination, the warship entered a state of combat from the moment it started the mission.
Chapter completed!
