Chapter 69

Gao Deng: "Several transport planes have already arrived at Paradise Island? Why didn't we notice them before? Is there a problem with the ship's radar?" —— He put on the reconnaissance device (monocular) separated from his battle armor and looked up at the sky.

Lin Youde: "It's probably due to the use of some kind of stealth technology. We can detect them now because the transport planes have opened their doors and dropped paratroopers. There are many small dots in the sky above your location..." —— Radio communication

Gao Deng: "I can 'see' them with the detector. They are real stealth planes. Many paratroopers have appeared out of nowhere in the sky, and the planes are cloaked by magical forces, making them invisible even to the naked eye." —— Radio communication

Lin Youde: "What should I do? Should I fire anti-aircraft artillery to shoot down the paratroopers, or intercept the fast boats..." —— Radio communication

Gao Deng: "After carefully observing the paratroopers' equipment and combat strength, absolutely not. The paratroopers are not from the U.S. military or the Illuminati agents, but a group of Amazons. This is a continuation of their civil war. We shouldn't directly intervene, or it could trigger a chain reaction from the U.S. and the Illuminati." —— Radio communication

Lin Youde: "But your safety and Cheshire Cat's safety..." —— Radio communication

Gao Deng: "Those fast boats aren't military landing craft, right?" —— Radio communication

Lin Youde: "Indeed, they don't seem to be. They are likely civilian." —— Radio communication

Gao Deng: "Then follow my order. Do not directly intervene unless you confirm that the fast boats carry regular U.S. soldiers or Illuminati agents who are about to land on Paradise Island for a military intervention." —— Radio communication

Lin Youde: "Understood. I will launch a drone to investigate. Take care." —— Radio communication

Gao Deng: "Yeah, if the situation gets bad, we'll make a run for it." —— Radio communication

Lin Youde: "Alright, I'll drive the White Pegasus to pick you up and provide cover when the time comes." —— Radio communication

Gao Deng: "If it really comes to that, just send a small boat to pick us up. Don't reveal the true combat capabilities of the White Pegasus unless absolutely necessary." —— Radio communication

Lin Youde: "Understood." —— Radio communication

I (narrator): "This old man's detector is really amazing. It can even measure the combat strength of the enemy, which is even stronger than Cheshire Cat's combat enhancement. But the design of this detector... doesn't it infringe on the copyright of 'Dragon Ball'? Or are there really Saiyans, and this detector is a product of alien technology?"

Captain America: "Our reinforcements have arrived! Everyone, hold on!" —— Shouting, continuing to engage the regular army

Dalei: "Reinforcements? (Observing the paratroopers in the sky) Hmph, unwilling to be driven to the American continent, now you're back to restore your rule? But choosing to drop from the sky is a really stupid idea. You don't know I'm back, do you? Watch me take you all down like sitting ducks." —— Gathering magical energy, the sky instantly darkened with clouds, strong winds, and thunder. The paratroopers in the sky were like small boats in a storm, in constant danger of losing their lives.

At that moment, a boomerang-like object flew down from the sky, heading straight for Dalei's neck. Unaware of the danger, Dalei was completely focused on casting her spell. Just as the boomerang was about to decapitate her, Gao Deng, quick on his feet, tackled Dalei to the ground, saving her life.

Dalei: "What are you doing? You interrupted my spell..." —— Blaming Gao Deng without realizing she had been saved

Gao Deng: "Princess Dalei, stop your magic. Didn't you realize you were almost killed just now?" —— Feeling wronged

Dalei: "Almost killed... (Seeing the returning boomerang) It's the 'Starlight Boomerang.' Is Hippolyta leading the charge herself?" —— Touching her neck, feeling a chill (aware of the power of the Starlight Boomerang)

In the sky, a paratrooper caught the returning Starlight Boomerang, then undid her parachute and dropped directly in front of Dalei. The other paratroopers followed suit, undid their parachutes after descending to a certain height, and leaped directly into the regular army, engaging in close combat with the ground soldiers. The sudden change disrupted the battle lines and formations, turning the battlefield into a chaotic mix of combatants, with command and control completely failing.

Diana: "Mother's forces came by sea. The airborne forces are under my command. We meet again, Eris." —— Enemies meeting, eyes blazing with hatred

Dalei: "Diana (feeling guilty)... Did you bring back the Amazon outcasts to rejoin Hippolyta's forces? Don't forget what kind of mother and queen she is, how long she deceived you and her subjects..." —— Trying to persuade Diana not to join the enemy

Diana: "Your lies have been exposed, Eris. I didn't know you were Ares' daughter. The undergarment in Ares' possession was stolen by you from Mother's bedroom during your work. Mother was framed and wronged by your scheme! I trusted you so much, and you deceived me, sowing discord between Mother and me. I thought you were my good sister!" —— Filled with anger

I (narrator): "Stole the undergarment during work? What did Dalei do before? Was she a maid responsible for washing the queen's clothes or cleaning the bedroom?"

Dalei: "Hippolyta was framed by me? If I didn't frame her, I would have been killed long ago, just like her son with Ares. Besides, I didn't want to deceive you, but if I didn't, you would definitely side with Hippolyta, and we would have no chance of winning. I did this to survive!" —— Equally agitated

Diana: "You're lying, Mother would never do that to you!"

Dalei: "I'm lying? Diana, you're too naive. Hippolyta wouldn't show me any mercy. She knows the importance of cutting off the root and wouldn't give Ares any chance to break the seal and regain his power."

Diana: "So it was you who broke Ares' seal, which escalated the scale and brutality of the civil war. No wonder Mother said she would execute you in the future."

Dalei: "Don't get the cause and effect mixed up. She wanted to kill Mother and me first, so I had to break the seal. Otherwise, would I do such a foolish thing? At that time, Mother and I were at a dead end!"

Diana: "Hmph, do you think I'll believe your lies? You say you did it to survive, but after the civil war, you and Mother gained tremendous benefits. One became the queen, ruling all of Paradise Island, and the other became the governor and princess, wielding life and death power over the Tidal Clan. It's hard not to suspect your true motives for the rebellion." —— Mocking

I (narrator): "Princess Diana's analysis makes sense, even though I know it doesn't quite match the facts. Ares is the true leader of Paradise Island, but who can blame Dalei for her low credibility? No one believes her."
