4692 Odatrik Galaxy, the fourth planet Matardak, Matargrad, 160 kilometers outside the suburbs

More than ten minutes later, Bai Yu and Anita sat in the armored vehicle and went to Matargrad with the S609 Desert Patrol.

"I'm really sorry, Sun, I must have been dizzy by the general." Omayu, who put down the communicator, apologized incoherently.

The roar of the engine of the armored vehicle was immediately covered by a scattered laughter.

"Forget it, Oma, Bai Yu won't blame you, right?" Anita said, covering her stomach that was laughing and hurt.

"Then our identity has been confirmed?" Bai Yu smiled and waved his hand, saying that he did not plan to make trouble.

"Yes, but only you. The Presbyterian Church of the capital galaxy Pador confirmed your identity. The Presbyterian Church said that it would do whatever it takes to protect your safety and try its best to meet all your requirements. Once conditions permit, a ship will be sent to pick you up." Oma promised.

"Take it down, the entire galaxy is closed, you can only enter and not exit. It seems that I have been here for a long time." Bai Yu waved helplessly and said, "But is it okay to drag it like this?"

Bai Yu pointed to the container dragged behind the armored vehicle and asked, "The three armored vehicles were pulling the giant container, and Aura's suspended robot only needed to carry it behind the container. If Aura carried the container to Matargrad by himself, he would not have to walk halfway, and the robotic arms would all fall into bed due to insufficient energy.

"Don't worry, General, we will enter the city in 30 minutes. There is no problem with this heavy armored vehicle." Leopold interrupted.

"Please trouble you. In addition, please take us to the command center of the local troops as quickly as possible. Captain Anita has very important military information to hand over to your highest commander." Bai Yu said.

Anita was very happy. With Bai Yu's help, the Emmada fleet would directly deliver the information to the supreme commander of the local troops to attack Matardak. Otherwise, after investigating his identity and then deploying according to the information, the Emmada airborne troops might all reach the city center.

"I understand, I'll send you there right away." Oma replied.

Matargrad, local garrison headquarters

"Is the news reliable?" Major General Alger, the commander of the gray-haired local troops, asked, rubbing his temples that were constantly hurting.

"Yes, they were blocked in this galaxy and had no supply at all, so this would be their main target." Anita said affirmatively.

"Okay, I will continue to set up my defense." Major General Alger patted Anita on the shoulder and said, "You are all good, the pilots are bleeding enough, it's our turn."

"General, I ask to join the battle," Anita said.

"No, good girl, you have more important tasks. I need you to protect this federal major general like you protect your own eyes. This is a direct order issued by the Presbyterian Church." Alger said.

"No need to think about me, General." Bai Yu looked at Alger and refused, "I will participate in the battle when necessary."

"This doesn't work. How could I let you take the risk? You must evacuate to the underground city with the elderly, young, women and children." Alger said firmly.

"If you are concerned about my identity, then this is not the issue you need to consider now." Bai Yu couldn't listen to the four words "old, weak, women and children". After she said that, she pulled off the major general's flower on the neckline, tore off the armband, and grouped it into a ball, stuffed it into a pocket. She recalled the heroic battle scene under the Star Gate and took a deep breath and said, "I, Bai Yu, as a volunteer soldier of the Gallent Federal Navy, volunteered to join your local garrison to protect the safety of the people until she defeated the Emmada invaders."

"This..., the Federation did send volunteer soldiers when we needed it most, but that was a long time ago. I must report to the Presbyterian Church. If they nodded, I naturally have no right to refuse." Alger said gratefully: "Whatever the result, on behalf of the Matargrad local garrison, I would like to thank you very much for your support and help."

"This is great, Bai Yu. If you can join us, I believe that you will have greater confidence in defending the city." Anita said happily embracing Bai Yu.

"I'm the only one, don't treat me as a super-large flagship. I don't have that strong firepower." Bai Yu's words made Anita and General Alger laughed.

"What are we going to do now?" Anita asked.

"Continue to gather people. The entire planet of Mataldak is this city. Although there are few other small villages, they are all too far away. It takes a lot of time to gather together. Moreover, after receiving the order from the Capital Star, we have completely destroyed all factories, external roads and communication facilities, and burned down the warehouse of people's living materials. The remaining materials need to be raised and allocated. At the same time, the deployment of urban ground defense and the recruitment of wartime mobilization is only one week, and there is too much work." General Alger said with a headache: "But your task now is to rest. I will give you a day off, because starting tomorrow, it will be difficult to rest whether you go to the front line or in the rear."

"General, do you have mainframe computers and artificial intelligence here?" Bai Yu asked.

"There are large computers and two artificial intelligences, but it is definitely impossible to get them to be completely responsible for these complex tasks. It still requires a lot of manpower to complete them. What's wrong?" Alger asked in confusion.

Bai Yu looked at Anita and the two laughed together: "General, I recommend my artificial intelligence to you, Ola, she can help you do most of the work."

"Hey, hey, let me work after resting myself. I will be able to make a mistake in such hot weather." Ola appeared on the three-dimensional projection of Alger's desk and complained with his hands blowing.

"Oh my God, the degree of evolution is so high." Alger almost lay on the table and stared at Ola. He was so scared that Ola covered her chest and leaned back.

"Of course, I am the best artificial intelligence in the Federation, no one. Don't compare me with other programmatic artificial intelligence." Ola said proudly, closing his eyes and hugging his arms.

"Haha, this guy is good and can brag, I like it." Alger said with a smile like a child.

"How dare you say I brag..." Ora got angry and pointed at General Alger and shouted: "Old guy, listen, from now on, I will take all your work here. It takes less than a week, and it can be done at most 2 days. As long as your subordinates are busy."

"Okay, if you can't, hurry up and say, I'll find someone to take over immediately." Alger reluctantly agreed, as if he was worried.

"Hmph, you think I can't see the provocation method. Your person should not cry because he is tired." General Alger, who turned his eyes fiercely.

Bai Yu and Anita left the headquarters with a smile, leaving the two people to continue to fight.

Then Bai Yu and Anita had a big meal in the military camp of the headquarters and steadily took a rest.

"Uh, I finally got a rest." Anita said, moving her stiff neck.

"It's 4 pm, we slept for more than 7 hours." Bai Yu calculated.

At this time, Ora appeared at the end of Bai Yu's arm: "Awaken?"

"Ola, how are you doing there?" Bai Yu stretched and asked.

Ola said lazily: "Fortunately, I haven't been so busy for a long time. The whole city has begun to prepare for combat. 38 desert patrols have also scattered out to gather out villages outside. The trouble is that they have no fixed settlements, they all migrate with the underground rivers, and all ground communications have been cut off. It is estimated that it is not easy to find. The local garrison troops have a total of 28,000 people. They have begun to arrange circular defense lines. At noon, wartime mobilization orders have begun. Male residents aged 14 and above must join the army and participate in urban defense as reserves and auxiliary forces."

"I'm 14 years old, underage, Is this necessary? It's useless to gather it." Bai Yu was startled.

"This is the wartime mobilization order. Mimatal is not like your federation. It has 20 years of free compulsory education. All residents from the age of 6, except for a very small number of people who will enter the temple to work, and everyone else will participate in the military school of the tribal armed forces. At the age of 10, they will be divided into subjects according to their expertise. Most of them will enter the ground troops, and some will be selected as pilots like me. At the age of 18, except for pilots like us and excellent army soldiers who will continue to serve, they will be transferred to the militia reserve for wartime needs." Anita came over and said, "So the 14-year-old young people have been soldiers who have received military training for 9 years. Although they have not been on the battlefield, their military qualities are absolutely strong."

"Yes, I was also surprised. And you can't imagine that the recruitment situation is good. Many children under the age of 14, as well as the vast majority of women, also require them to participate in the battle. At around 2 pm today, a pregnant woman even went to the recruitment station and asked her to send her weapons, saying that she could participate in the battle. Although she was rejected, she had a lot of trouble for a while." Ola said with a headache.

"This is too outrageous. I have to join the army with a big belly. Isn't this causing trouble?" Bai Yu said helplessly.

"Haha, her reason is that her due date is still 5 months, and she is absolutely fine... and since she is destroying Emmada, she must go." Ora said with a wry smile.

"Why?" Bai Yu asked: "Is there any special reason?"

"Avenge, her husband and father are both local garrison pilots." Ola said sadly: "Everyone died two days ago, and the whole family was left with her and the child in her belly."

"Yes, who doesn't have the blood debt of Emmadas? They commit more crimes than the sand in the desert." Anita sighed and said, "In my tribe, nearly 510 people have died at their hands in 400 years."

"Did you die in battle?" Bai Yu asked.

"Some died before the Patriotic War, but some were civilians." Anita said angrily: "Some of them were buried alive, some were thrown into space by the Emmadas, some were dragged to death by the behind the chariot, and some were killed by their bloody 'Shiyige Killing Order'."

"Shi Yige Killing Order?" Bai Yu shuddered: "What is that?"

"The Emmada used to abuse and kill civilians. Whenever a group of civilians were caught, they would line up to draw lots. One out of ten people would draw red cards. They would strip the red cards and tie them to the desert, and then expose them to the sun for a day. As long as the red cards were drawn, anyone who drew red cards did not die before sunset, then everyone would be released, otherwise, they would be killed." Anita said tremblingly with her arms in her arms.

"There will always be strong people who survive, right?" Bai Yu asked with a frown.

"It is completely impossible. Your limbs and neck will be tied with a special rope. The rope will shrink extremely slowly under the high temperature in the desert. In less than a day, at most 6 hours, you will be slowly hanged and no one will survive. Humph, unless the desert will also be cloudy and rainy, everyone will die." Anita said, pinching her neck and gritting her teeth.

"We will make them pay the price." Bai Yu said, stroking Anita's trembling back.

"By the way, there is another big question. Have you eaten?" Ora changed the subject.

"I've had breakfast, what's wrong?" Bai Yu asked.

"That's good, because from now on you are going to be hungry, the amount of haunted food is too different." Ola said: "After my calculations, after receiving the order from scorched earth, the local garrison troops burned most of the reserved materials, including a large amount of food. The remaining reserved food will be only supported for 10 days starting tomorrow, even if each person is distributed at 50% of the daily needs, it will only be supported for 10 days. This has not included the data that doubled the consumption of soldiers during the war, and then the whole city will be out of food."

Bai Yu and Anita were both stunned. Emmada would conduct airborne operations in about 7 days. Even if each person was rationed at 50%, it could only last for 3 days. In a high-intensity combat environment, the combatants needed at least twice the usual calories, not to mention that there was a heavy combat preparation work needed in front of the station.

"The Emmadas cannot be repelled by us in three days. Their airborne troops are too powerful, and our projectile weapons are difficult to penetrate their armored combat suits." Anita said: "What does General Alger say?"

"That old guy, I just fought with him for this matter. Guess what he said, continue to compress and ratio, and each person is allocated according to the minimum living limit." Ola said angrily: "He said that the people of Mimatal have extremely strong willpower and can completely overcome the difficulties."

"The willpower cannot be used as a food..." Bai Yu said without temper.

"No, as long as we unite, even the minimum living limit quota can be eliminated." Anita said firmly.

"Damn, let's have another one, okay, I'll calculate it for you. On average, each person needs to consume 1,500-2,300 kcal per day. This is only calculated based on the amount of light activity. If calculated based on the minimum living limit set by you Mimatal, the city has about 230,000 people. That number of quotas can barely last for 24 days. After 24 days, there will be no food after 24 days. However, according to my deduction, the Mimatal Republic fleet will take 30 days to gather enough troops to come here to wipe out the Emmada fleet." Ola said: "And, if the minimum ration is based on this, it will only be enough for the whole city to do nothing and wait for death. If the Emmadas do not need to attack in a week, I guarantee that those military personnel can pick up their guns and run two laps. By the way, this is a desert climate, and the calorie consumption is increased by 20%.

"Wait, Mimatal's minimum standard of survival is different from that of the Federation?" Bai Yu asked.

"Of course, we are 65%, and they are a little more than 10%. "Ora said with a gloomy face: "Oh, just the information I just retrieved, the meal you had in the morning is probably your share of 4 days. Do you understand now?"

"Oh my God, do you mean that I want to divide those things into 4 portions, each portion or the amount for the whole day?" Bai Yu was frightened. If the calories were calculated based on that calories, then the calories in the coofei she usually drank would be calculated based on the ration of 1 day for a can.

"That's right, but I don't recommend that you only eat one meal a day. Old Jack has studied before that in the case of insufficient calories, the longer the interval between your diet and the lower the absorption efficiency, it will be converted into useless fat. When fat is converted back to the required calories, it will require additional calories to be consumed, which will waste more." Ola reminded.

"Can't you contact Pador or the nearby galaxy to get them to ship a batch?" Bai Yu asked.

"Did you get your head clamped with the hatch?" Ora said in a pirate way: "The rest of the entire galaxy fleet can only fight guerrilla warfare. Who will escort those transport ships? Will you supply Emmada or us? Don't tell me the stupid words of letting the Mimatar government provide warships to escort. The number of warships that can escort will be enough to destroy the Emmada fleet, not to mention that the scorched earth strategy is what they have."

Bai Yu was taught a lesson and had nothing to say.

"By the way, I took the time to decipher the star-domain-level message from Kate's. There was no big problem. I just reported your situation to Rita every day, including what you said, how you were in your mood, what you were eating, etc." Anyway, it didn't matter, and Ora did not avoid Anita.

"By the way, Rita, I forgot her. Since she cared about me so much, wouldn't it be enough to let her send a fleet to escort the food?" Bai Yu said excitedly.

"Go cool, do you think the Federal Navy is run by her family? What's the difference between this and joining the war directly? Not to mention whether Mimatal agreed to the federal fleet entering the territory, the reaction of the Emma Empire is very subtle now. Even if the Emma Empire doesn't matter, wait for the Federal Navy to submit a military plan, the Federal Court approved it, the members of the parliament held a meeting to discuss, and then submit the president's ruling, and then order it to the Navy. The Navy gathered and dispatched again, and then arrived here. It will be two months later. Even if Emmada does not attack, everyone will turn into mummies early." Bai Yu and Anita said that he had different degrees of nausea and dizziness.

"Where is Roy? They can't watch us starve to death, right?" Bai Yu whispered.

"He dares! I'll scold him!" Ola's forehead bulged with blue veins and said angrily: "But he may be powerless. He doesn't have so much money to buy it from private channels."

"I'll try it out, if I have money, I have it." Bai Yu's words scared Anita so much that she almost bit her tongue.

"My God, do you mean you can afford the food for the whole city?" Anita saw Bai Yu nodding without hesitation and asked again: "How much does your Federal Admiral pay a month?"

"Haha, that's not much. Not long ago, I got a pirate's ill-gotten fortune. Who is the flower?" Bai Yu smiled and opened the star domain liaison and began to contact Roy.

Roy seemed to be drinking with everyone again, so he connected the communication to the bar.

"Hi, girl, is Mimatal fun?" Roy asked with a smile.

"Well, except for being surrounded by the army and not living for a few days, it's not bad here, at least it's full of sunshine." Bai Yu said jokingly.

‘Puff’, a mist suddenly spurted out from the bar, and then the glass broke all over the floor.
