Immortal Soul of Steel

Chapter 1904 Murong Family’s Jin Murongliu

Chapter 1904 Murong Family's Daughter - Murong Liu

After arranging Claw to Izumo Souji and Sakurai Sagiri to Soma Piris, the old soldier Izumo Souji took Claw, the poor debtor, to meet other future comrades-in-arms.

Sergei Smirnov, along with Soma Piris and Sagiri Sakurai, drove a jeep to the other direction of the base.

In the car, Soma Piris asked worriedly, "Major, just now you said in the Gnacuri that you were not going to make defeating the Celestials your top priority. Is that really okay?"

Sergei Smirnov replied: "It's okay, rather, everyone wants to hear me say this."

Soma Piris looked puzzled, and Sergei Smirnov began to explain.

"Although I don't know what kind of political struggle those guys up there carried out to organize our troops. I guess there's a lot of factional struggle involved."

"But in the military, everyone still respects the gods. After all, their philosophy is to inherit the ideals of Dr. Lin Youde, and they are enemies with other countries for the future of all mankind."

"Since its appearance, it has only intervened in wars and never appeared outside of wars. It can be said that it is very dutiful and does not disturb the people."

"So whether they are among the public or in our Human Innovation Integration Forces, their popularity and support are very high."

"So when they learned that our unit was established to defeat the Celestial Beings, everyone's morale was low. This is also why it is so difficult for our unit to get supplies."

"In other units outside, I guess many people are scolding us for being traitors and bringing shame to Dr. Lin Youde."

Before Soma Piris could react, Sakurai Sagiri replied, "So Boss, you said that on purpose to restore morale and prevent everyone from being passive, right?"

Sergei Smirnov glanced approvingly at Sakurai Sagiri, who was sitting in the back seat but lying behind the co-pilot Soma Piris, and replied.

"Yes, the order we have received now is to go against the gods. Although I personally am not very willing, orders are orders after all. As soldiers, we cannot disobey military orders."

"And the ones who actually go to the battlefield are us, the pilots who drive the mobile suits. It would be very stupid if we were put in danger or even killed because of the negative logistics."

"So, I said that on purpose. To let everyone know that our goal is not to really fight against the Celestial Beings, but to survive the battle with them."

"You are not stupid. If you think about it, you will understand that we are helpless. You will be willing to help us repair our machines so that we have a greater chance of coming back alive."

"Of course, I also know that not everyone will believe this statement. But any morale boost will help."

"In the current situation, we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate."

Both Soma Piris and Sakurai Sagiri could hear the helplessness in Sergei Smirnov's voice.

This made the atmosphere among the three of them a little depressing, and just at this time Sergei Smirnov stopped the car.

Soma Piris and Sakurai Sagiri looked at the base gate not far in front of them and looked at Sergei Smirnov with some confusion.

"Major, you brought us here, are you planning to leave the base?"

Sergei Smirnov shook his head: "No, we will not leave the base. We are here only to pick someone up."

Soon, as Sergei Smirnov got off the car, Soma Piris and Sakurai Sagiri saw a beautiful woman with a ponytail standing at the gate of the base and saluted the three of them.

"Lieutenant Murong Liu, reporting to you, it is an honor to see you again, Major Sergei Smirnov."

Sergei Smirnov also saluted and then smiled amiably: "I never thought that in the blink of an eye, Xiaoliu, you have grown up so much."

Murong Liu, who had a serious expression, also smiled: "Uncle Sergei, long time no see. I heard that you were assigned as the commander of the special operations team against the Celestial Beings this time. There is no one else available, so my father asked me to come and help you."

Sergei Smirnov patted Murong Liu's shoulder with emotion: "Thank you, niece. With you coming here, I finally have a decent technician."

Sakurai Sagiri was puzzled: "Technician?"

Murong Liu looked at Soma Piris and Sakurai Sagiri and said with a smile, "This must be Lieutenant Soma Piris. I heard from my father before that Uncle Sergei adopted a daughter. Sure enough, she is as beautiful as my father said."

Soma Piris, who was not good at communicating with others, was suddenly praised for her beauty by her peers. She replied in a panic, "No, no, no, Lieutenant Murong Liu, you are too kind. You are quite beautiful. I am ordinary."

Murong Liu smiled and looked at Sakurai Sagiri, a little confused: "Who is this?"

Sergei Smirnov introduced: "This is Sakurai Sagiri, a member of your team from now on. But she is different from you. She is not a professional soldier, but a test pilot from a company called VXT. She came here to collect combat data for new machines."

Soma Piris suddenly reacted: "Major, are you planning to let me form a team with Second Lieutenant Murong Liu and Warrant Officer Sakurai Sagiri?"

Sergei Smirnov replied: "Yes, there are very few female pilots in our army, only you three. So I plan to let you three form a team to avoid being harassed by men from other teams."

"You also know how hungry these guys have been for women since Lieutenant Chitose Kisaragi left. If you weren't my daughter, they would have probably caused a big fuss a long time ago."

Hearing this, Sakurai Sagiri sighed and said, "So, men. But this is also good. Boss, you have a heart."

Murong Liu also responded: "Well, I think this is a good idea too. From now on, I will be responsible for debugging the machines of my team. I will ensure that the machines can perform at their original performance."

Sergei Smirnov explained amid the puzzled expressions of Somapiris and Sakurai Sagiri.

"Xiao Liu is the daughter of the Murong family and the young master of the Murong Research Institute. She has done in-depth research on MS and PT. She has a good talent for modifying and driving machines."

"You are all girls, so you can chat slowly and get to know each other better."

After the three of them nodded to each other, Sergei Smirnov looked up at the sky: "I hope that there will be no accidents in the upcoming battle. The Free Federation agreed so readily, I always feel that something will go wrong..."

PS: My train of thought has been a bit stuck lately, so let me take a break and I’ll get back to it later.
