In the confinement cell of Base Six, Captain Ji Xinghe, who is prepared for battle, starts another interrogation with the Marquis Ape.
"Why do you always dispatch your Marquis or Dukes whenever we deploy a mech-warrior from our Ace Mechas?"
The Marquis Ape was quite intelligent. It looked at Ji Xinghe and asked, "How many more gold stars do you need?"
"Forty-six."
"Has this base become a target for our attack? Are you planning to acquire these forty-six gold stars?"
"Yes."
Ji Xinghe did not conceal the fact. Such interrogations had happened many times before, but the Marquis Ape was not always cooperative.
"That's unfortunate. I won't be the one to kill you." The tone of the Marquis Ape was filled with loss, followed by jubilation, "But, you're going to die finally, that's good."
Ji Xinghe did not argue but pressed on, "Answer my previous question."
"Okay." The Marquis Ape stared at Ji Xinghe as if imprinting his image in its mind, "Because it is a matter of glory."
