Chapter 373: Fire, Torches, and the Man Holding the Torch(2/2)

"Don't you like women?"

Yang Ming's voice came from a few meters away.

Daphne opened her eyes and found Yang Ming already sitting on the sofa, with a playful look on his face.

"You are so ungentlemanly!"

Daphne snorted, feeling a little sore in her wrist. She lowered her head and walked to sit opposite Yang Ming.

Her posture still maintains the elegance of a royal princess.

"Next, I will follow you. The original plan was for you to arrest the nobles for rectification and take a position in the Imperial Military Intelligence Bureau. But now that Captain Catherine has happened, it is unknown what the follow-up arrangements will be.

"However, I will try my best to help you control the impact."

"Don't worry," Yang Ming closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa to take a nap, "Katherine is just my girlfriend, not my wife. I can explain that she approached me before to try to get me to betray the empire, and I am determined

stand on the side of the empire."

"You have changed a lot suddenly," Daphne said softly.

Yang Ming smiled: "Nothing changes, I am who I am, I just want to understand some things. I have a message for you, this is my motto."

"What?"

"Give up your illusions and prepare to fight."

Daphne shook her head, unable to understand the meaning of this sentence.



At the same time, somewhere in the empire, there is an abandoned underground fortress on a poverty-stricken planet with a population of 200 million.

Catherine, who was wearing a combat uniform, was standing in front of several simple military solid-state screens with a frown, staring at the data that was constantly flashing across the screen.

She asked softly: "Have they all been evacuated?"

"Boss, all the brothers have withdrawn. How did they get exposed this time?"

"Someone has betrayed our intelligence, the organization we have contacted before," Catherine said with a cold expression on her face, "Don't worry about it, I have already sent people to eliminate those so-called revolutionary troops who are colluding with the imperial authorities. They

Having existed for such a long time, it really has its own way of survival.”

"Those bastards!"

"Boss, why not launch a direct attack on the empire now!"

"Yes, boss, other resistance groups dare not show up, but we are super reformers. We have the force to assassinate high-ranking officials and capture warships. Not to mention we have a killer weapon!"

"Notify all contact points to destroy all intelligence data and enter a fully silent passive acceptance mode."

Catherine said:

"We have worked hard for so long, and all we need to do now is wait.

"Yes, we do have the basic conditions for an uprising now, but now that the empire is caught in a war with other powerful countries, domestic conflicts are bound to intensify, and we still have the opportunity to unite more resistance organizations.

"To overthrow the empire, what is needed is not millions of machines, nor millions of soldiers, but the spirit of resistance of hundreds of billions of people. What we want to ignite is this flame.

"Other than that, all other sacrifices are meaningless, do you understand?"

"yes!"

"I'm going to take a rest. If anything happens, wake me up immediately."

Catherine nodded slightly, turned and walked to the side passage. The men and women looked at each other, and their expressions became much more relieved.

The leaders all went to bed, which meant that they were very confident that they could avoid this storm.

In the lounge, Catherine turned on the shielding device, pursed her lips tightly, and her expression became more solemn.

She walked behind the simple desk, turned on her communicator, thought quietly for a few minutes, and finally found the special contact person and sent a message.

[Thanks for the reminder, otherwise we may have lost at least half of our core members. 】

The other party immediately replied: [You're welcome, these are just instructions from my boss. Captain Catherine, my boss may want to announce some opinions that I have broken up with you a long time ago. I hope you can understand.]

Catherine sighed and continued typing:

[Now I just feel that he is letting me play nonsense and cooperating with me to play an uprising game.

[I am now afraid that when I most likely fail in the uprising, he will catch me by his side and tell me - look, you have tried it, and you will stay by my side from now on.

[After thinking about it recently, I discovered that he is too powerful.

[Under the eyes of the empire, such a huge power has been secretly developed, and the super-modifier organization has been controlled, and it has the appeal and popular prestige that can lightly challenge the royal family. ]

The other party sent a smiley face charm and continued to reply: [Didn’t you notice? Your future rebel army is also a semi-direct force in my boss’s power territory.]

Catherine was stunned for a moment: [Did he plan this a long time ago?]

[No, my boss just respects your choice, but your development route has been in my calculation before. 】

【You? Who exactly are you?】

[Me? I am the boss’s assistant, the boss’s most trusted assistant. You can call me, Law.]

"Law?" Catherine whispered.

Texts kept popping up on the projection screen in front of her:

[I can tell you right now that if you want to overthrow the empire, the existing resistance forces alone will not be able to accomplish one percent of it. However, the existence of the resistance forces, the rebel army, and the revolutionary army has a very high symbolic significance. You are the torch.

, and this torch is responsible for lighting up the darkness before dawn.

[I hope that you can continue to be my boss’s support in the future, a comrade and partner that transcends personal feelings.

[The power controlled by the boss is actually far beyond your imagination, and the enemy is also far more powerful than you imagine.]

Catherine raised her hand to cover her forehead: [Can you briefly describe it? 】

[Do you think that the modular design of the Emperor Star and the ability to absorb the energy of an entire star as an energy reserve are simply used to showcase the Empire's technology?

[In the empire’s dimension-enhancement plan, the Emperor Star is the core of the dimension-enhancement. Of course, I haven’t been able to find the core data in it.

[But don’t worry, that’s not an enemy you need to worry about.

[Please become a fire, illuminate the darkness of the empire, and burn the shackles of the people.]

Catherine replied: [I can only be a pioneer holding a torch. The real fire is not me, but us.]

[You are becoming more and more like a rebel leader.]

Catherine smiled and shook her head, ending the chat in a relatively happy mood.



Half a day later.

Imperial frontier.

In a transport ship that had just returned to the empire, Yang Ming sat quietly in the corner holding a professional military book.

Daphne hurried over, sat in front of Yang Ming, and whispered: "Things are a little troublesome."

Yang Ming asked without raising his head: "What's wrong?"

"Neither the super-modifier organization nor the Military Intelligence Bureau could find the whereabouts of Catherine. Forty-two super-modifiers disappeared together. It has been confirmed that there may be some kind of organization between them, and this organization has been revealed before.

We had some clues, but we didn’t pay attention to them.”

clatter.

Yang Ming closed the book and looked up at Daphne, who was a little anxious.

"Would you be so upset over something like this?"

"Of course not," Daphne snorted, "Uncle Ino was furious. Those are all important experimental materials for him, especially Catherine...Uncle complained before that he had not collected valuable materials for a long time.

Data, the super-modifier organization has been asked to provide a group of powerful super-modifiers before, and Catherine is on the list... This may not be a coincidence."

Yang Ming nodded slightly.

Sorry, this is just a coincidence. Catherine had been preparing for the uprising for more than a day or two. This time it was just accidentally exposed.

But this can be considered as avoiding a bigger crisis.

Daphne said: "Can you find where she is?"

"Sorry, I can't get in touch either," Yang Ming put the special watch in front of Daphne. Naturally, all the data in it had been altered by Lu, and all chat records were forged. "You can make sure for yourself."

Daphne hesitated, then grabbed her watch and searched carefully for a while.

Soon, she handed the watch back.

"Don't say anything next, and don't care about this matter. I will settle it for you."

Boss Yang smiled and nodded.

"Are we going to MI next?"

"Well, you first need to gain some real power. Major General Atro from the Military Intelligence Bureau has a good relationship with you and just happened to become your subordinate."

Ah, it seems that it's not bad to have soft rice occasionally. At least it's quite worry-free.
