Commander Tucker sent a transport vehicle to assist Ma Long and others, and successfully transported the four bodies to the royal capital.
When this unfortunate news reached the royal capital, the whole country was in an uproar. No one expected that four people were killed in the first battle of the Earth's reinforcements. Images from the scene showed that the battle was also very difficult.
.
However, since it is a war, death is inevitable. However, the Blue Star people who originally regarded Malone and other Earth reinforcements as their saviors have been cast a shadow, and there is a feeling of failed expectations.
Ma Long and others did not explain anything. After all, their dismal return was related to their carelessness and underestimation of the enemy. It was useless to talk more except to prove themselves with their actual actions.
After briefly reporting the war ahead to the king, Fu Yingya stood up and said goodbye, taking on the responsibility of escorting his dead companions back to Earth for the last leg.
After King Blue Star comforted everyone in good faith, he also stood up and sent everyone off. After all, these four people died for Blue Star, so he felt that he had to make some compensation.
Ma Long followed Fu Yingya and others, slowly walking on the road leaving the royal capital, and on the way to the wormhole. During this period, Ma Long hesitated to find an excuse to stay, otherwise he would pass through the wormhole.
He just went back to Earth. It would be fine if he was the only one on the trip, but with four people following him at the same time, he couldn't stay in the wormhole to practice alone.
Just when they were about to board the flight cabin, a young Blue Star man suddenly separated everyone and shouted loudly: "Princess, please wait a moment, Mr. Malone!"
Hearing this, Ma Long's eyes lit up and he felt that it was such a coincidence that the princess intervened at this time, just in time to find an excuse to stay!
Sure enough, Fu Yingya and others heard that the princess was coming here, but they didn't want to stay too much, so they said to Ma Long: "You can stay and wait for us. Leave all the transportation of the body to us."
"
Just what I wanted! Ma Long suppressed the secret joy in his heart and replied calmly: "Well, I will wait for the four of you to come back outside the wormhole, and we will go back together."
As he spoke, Ma Long approached the four of them and whispered, "It's just the right time for me to stay and find out about the traitor."
Fu Yingya nodded secretly and whispered back: "I think so too. You have a good relationship with the princess, it's best to be able to -" Just as he said that, the figure of the princess appeared in front of him. Fu Yingya gestured to Ma Long with his eyes.
Ma Long replied: "I understand, it's all on me. You go!"
In this way, the four of Fu Yingya set out on their way home. But Ma Long stayed alone in the capital, which was able to kill two birds with one stone. They could not only come to the wormhole to intensify their training, but they could also secretly investigate the issue of the traitor.
Princess Blue Star arrived in a hurry. Just now, when she heard that the frontline Earth reinforcements had returned and transported four bodies, the princess's heart suddenly trembled, worried that there would be Ma Long among the four. However, after confirming the list of those killed in battle
After that, she felt relieved. Then she heard that Ma Long had also returned to the royal capital, so she hurried there and caught up just a second before Ma Long left.
"I heard that you are back, so... uh - I came over to see you. Are you... are you okay..." The princess calmed down her excitement and joy after seeing Ma Long, and for a moment she didn't know
Where should I start? She also felt strange inside, why was she so nervous all of a sudden?
"The princess is worried," Ma Long said with a faint smile, "I'm fine. It's just that four of our companions died unfortunately because of our negligence."
"Well, I've heard about this. We are all very sad." The princess's expression dimmed, "They died for our Blue Star, and we will remember them forever."
The princess' expression was very firm and she spoke these words very seriously.
"Thank you." Ma Long thanked them on behalf of the four of them, "Princess, they would also be pleased if they knew about your words."
The crowd around them gradually dispersed, and the two of them suddenly realized that they were the only two people left outside the city.
"Uh - I've prepared dinner, let's go have a meal together." The princess actively invited, "In a few days, when your friends come back, you have to leave again."
Yes, I still have to go back. But this time, Ma Long didn't expect to come back so quickly. He had only left for just one day before he returned to the royal capital.
"Okay, let's go." Although Ma Long wanted to rush to the wormhole to practice immediately, he didn't miss a meal, not to mention that Ma Long also shouldered the important task of finding out the news.
On the way, Ma Long first asked the princess about the war in the West District, that is, the situation on the battlefield in the West District where the superpowers went.
The princess shook her head, "After all, it's only been a day, and there's no news yet. It's just that the troops there have been holding back and haven't taken the initiative to fight against the Gamma Stars."
"So that's it..." Ma Long thought to himself that the gringos were smart and did not attack rashly, but were waiting for the best opportunity. Recalling the bet proposed by the tall gringo before, everyone
The bet didn't work out, but judging from the current situation, it seems that they, the cultivators, lost anyway. Compared to that group of foreign seniors, after learning about the defeat of the Eastern District, they almost smiled crookedly, right?
The dinner was prepared in a small but very luxurious restaurant, with the princess alone at the table.
Seeing that the table was filled with various Blue Star delicacies, Ma Long was full of thoughts and had no appetite.
The two chatted casually, both looking a little absent-minded. They finished their meal quickly.
During the dinner, Ma Long paid attention to the surroundings and saw that no one was around. At the same time, he used Qi Discrimination to search the surroundings, and sure enough, no one was waiting around.
So Ma Long asked tentatively again in a low voice: "Princess, is it convenient to talk here?"
"Ah?" The princess was shocked. She didn't understand what Ma Long meant. She didn't know what he was going to say. He actually cared so much about whether there was anyone around or Fang Buconvenient's question. "Fang... what's wrong...?"
"Actually -" Ma Long hesitated for a moment, and then said solemnly, "I believe you, princess. But I hope you don't tell others what I said today, okay?"
What on earth are you talking about? The princess felt more and more strange, but she still nodded heavily. "No problem."
"It's about this war. We don't want to make any excuses for the failure, but we just feel a little strange. It seems that the enemy knew our movements and plans before we did, and targeted us everywhere, which led to this war.
It was a huge defeat and the entire army was almost annihilated. We suspect——" Ma Long hesitated whether to say it directly.
However, Blue Star Princess Bingxue was smart and understood immediately, and suddenly said: "Do you suspect there is a traitor in the army?"
The princess said something, which made Ma Long feel very relaxed, thinking that the rest of the conversation must also go smoothly.
As a result, what Ma Long didn't expect was that what the princess said shocked him even more - "Actually, we have already noticed it!"
