The person who appeared on the screen on the bridge of the Victory was a demi-human race with obvious female features, but according to visual inspection, he should be taller than the average height of a human adult male, and his body shape was slightly slender.
Of course, perhaps because of her temperament, although she is tall, she does not look weak and slender, and her whole person is filled with a sense of strength like a leopard.
She has lavender skin and long dark green hair, silver eyes with the characteristics of a big cat, and the outline of her facial features and face are slightly sharp, but she is indeed an alien beauty that is very in line with human aesthetics.
.
This is an ancient Meiya.
On the Victory, the officers and soldiers who were already nervous seemed even more nervous.
The ancient Meiya people are a very rare ethnic minority, and most people don't know their origins. However, the woman behind the screen is definitely not an ordinary person at a glance.
When walking in the universe, the last thing you should not mess with are women, children and the elderly who dare to travel alone. Of course everyone has heard of this common sense that has been passed down for thousands of years.
Moreover, this chance encounter really made people feel horrified. In this remote channel that is inaccessible and is still a war zone, an ordinary cruise ship appeared. More importantly, this cruise ship was less than 100 meters away from everyone.
It was only discovered when it was ten thousand kilometers away. In a space battle, this can almost be regarded as a slap in the face. If the opponent carries weapons, he can inflict heavy damage on himself immediately.
That feeling was really terrifying. It was like being on a battlefield with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and seeing a little girl in a floral skirt carrying a basket, walking through the hail of bullets and bullets unharmed, as if she was going up the mountain to pick mushrooms.
With a relaxed pace, you can pass by the soldiers who are covered in dust and the smell of blood as if there is no one else around.
"Be ready to fire at any time!" said a captain.
"And everyone must also do security work to guard against gang hopping! This person always feels like he is a psyker, and his level is not low." The fleet security director said. He was perhaps the most nervous person present. After all, he himself was not
You are not a psychic, but if something happens later, you will have to work hard to deal with it yourself.
Horatio Venn's mood was relatively stable. He could intuitively feel that this ancient Meiya had no ill intentions. However, as a qualified officer, he was more interested in this ship.
A cruise ship that can avoid the Victory's detector and come within a dangerous distance of 1 million kilometers is definitely not an ordinary cruise ship. Even if you can't strike hard right away, you still have to be vigilant.
Mihir Kent also thought of something, stared at the other person up and down, and said thoughtfully: "I probably know this lady."
"Oh, did it fall from the sky?" Wayne laughed casually.
Mihir Kent didn't bother to pay attention and said directly: "It's the one from the God of War Festival, Yu Lian's teammate."
Wayne took a few more seconds, and then he showed a bewildered expression.
"That's great! You can even recognize ancient Meiya people? From my point of view, they look exactly the same."
They can be considered a demi-human race for the time being! Kent sighed, if there was technical support, he could even give birth to new humans.
"Why is she here? I heard that all the ancient Meiya people are now the emperor's domestic slaves. Since she won the Ares Festival back then, she must have been very sharp, and must have been very important, right? Could it be that she is the inquisitor of the empire?
Someone like that? Or the person in charge of the development of the Lanza Galaxy?" Wayne then showed an alert expression and nodded towards the first mate.
If Kent hadn't stopped him, I'm afraid the Victory would really have fired.
"Didn't you watch the God of War Festival?"
"At that time, I was still serving as the third officer on the battlecruiser Bifan, busy fighting pirates. How could I have such free time?" Horatio Venn said angrily.
"You don't know anything about the People's Federation, either?"
"Why do you need to know? I know that the People's League has expanded greatly, and I also know that it is basically a party property of our Pioneer Party, but what does this have to do with me? I am just a soldier." Wayne shrugged.
Kent glanced at his friend meaningfully, smiled silently, and then quickly explained the identity of the Gumeiya lady opposite.
"Where are the people from Beifeng Company? That is, employees of the People's Federation? That is, one of our own people?" Wayne asked doubtfully.
"It's better to communicate and observe first." Kent said. He has always been very cautious.
However, being pointed at by hundreds of cannons, even a powerful psyker would be under great pressure. Ms. Agnes tried to make her innocent expression more solemn: "I can accept everything legal
inspection, but are you a community army or an Earth battleship captured by the Galactic Empire?"
These words were quite sincere, but they sounded a bit harsh to the ears of earthlings. So, just when Wayne was about to get angry, Kent had already taken over the communication and quickly informed him of his identity.
"So, he should be considered one of his own." Agnes also forced a smile.
"...one of our own?"
"I'm still the general manager of Beifeng Company, so I can be considered one of your own, right? Anyway, I'm definitely more inclined to you than to the Empire." She paused, with a malicious look in her smile: "Of course, you
It doesn’t matter if the Imperial Army pretends to be a trick on me. I have a knighthood and am an upright Imperial noble!”
At this point, she actually took out a medal representing the knighthood. However, when she hung up the medal again, her expression was still somewhat disgusting.
As a member of the original God of War Sacrifice God's Chosen Champion Team, it is quite reasonable to have the most junior noble title that cannot be hereditary. However, the core members of the God Chosen Champion Team who received the title turned around and became rebels of the empire.
, which is of course more in line with the general trend.
Thinking of this, Wayne immediately ordered: "Close the gun doors and move the ship over."
"This..." The security director and first mate hesitated.
Kent also advised: "I also recognize this ship. If she had malicious intentions, she could have just pulled the ship over just now. If a psyker rushes into the Victory, we actually can't resist it for long."
"Actually, there are three psychics." Miss Agnes behind the screen pointed out three fingers.
This time, even Kent, who was as calm as he was, looked surprised: "The content of psykers is probably higher than that of the Imperial Army's Titan ship."
"Per capita, it must be higher than the emperor's ship." Agnes sneered.
Come on, since he was so disrespectful to His Majesty the Emperor, Wayne was completely convinced that this lady was indeed one of his own.
Ten minutes later, the ordinary spindle-shaped cruise ship finally docked with the Victory. Miss Agnes, dressed like an ordinary adventurer, entered the Victory without any weapons.
Even so, the soldiers wearing power armor on the ship still made the whole place feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Agnes walked past a group of soldiers armed with mechas without looking back, and just snorted through her nose to express her disdain.
However, the people who followed her off the dock were seventeen Ancient Meiyas, thirty-five humans, and nine Terrabis. Although they all had the temperament of capable pioneers, they
There were men, women, old and young, and they looked more like a group of armed immigrants with strong moral character.
Since the races are so diverse and most of them are humans, they shouldn't be enemies, right?
The security guards on board the Victory conducted another routine identity check. Putting aside the ancient Meians and Terabians, all the humans present were citizens of the community. This made them completely relieved.
Agnes added: "There are no dangerous goods on our ship. You can check it at will. However, try not to touch strange devices. Don't blame me for not warning you."
The Earth soldiers who had just been relieved suddenly became nervous again, but at this time, the ancient Meiya woman had already walked to the bridge with steps that she would not recognize her relatives.
On the bridge, in his capacity as commander, Horatio Venn expressed his welcome to the allies of the North Wind Development Company with a graceful business smile.
The Gumeiya female warrior should not be used to being watched by too many people, but she still managed a friendly smile and said calmly: "I know you are the boss's classmates and comrades. Rounding it off, we also have the same position.
We are colleagues. To be able to meet here is considered a blessing given by the spirit of the universe."
This means that Yu Lian is our boss, right? She should really mean that, right? Horatio Wayne couldn't help but think so, so his smile became a little stiff.
Therefore, the first person to go straight to the point was Michiel Kent, who had always been in a stable mood: "You can't be waiting for us here specifically, right?"
"I am indeed on standby here. I originally thought that the transport ship Pond Crow of the Amans would be passing by, but instead I waited for the battleship of the Community. After thinking about it, I decided to come over to say hello and test it out.
."
"Has the Pioneer Company turned into pirates?" Wayne almost laughed out loud. As we all know, in this universe and in this era, most of the so-called pioneer companies are composed of adventurers, and adventurers and pirates have always been able to
Seamless switching.
...Wait a minute, doesn't this mean that the People's Federation has begun to fund pirates? He immediately thought of another possibility, and the smile froze on his face on the spot.
The ancient Meiya woman seemed to have expected it, and said directly: "We are not pirates, and our company is a normal legal development company. However, the strongholds we established on the planet have been illegally incorporated by the empire, so of course we have to find a way
Some interest will be recovered. If the empire is not satisfied, it can go to the Galactic Civilization Council to file a lawsuit."
Kent pondered for a moment: "When we came here, we originally planned to intercept and kill a transport ship Lavaux, which belongs to the Grand Duchy of Letalin..."
"I killed him three days ago." Agnes showed a proud look: "The ship is still intact, and a lot of the cargo on it is also preserved. I have limited manpower here, so I can't take it away.
If you are interested..."
Horatio Wayne took a step forward, stretched out his hands to hold the hand of the ancient Meiya female ranger, and showed clear emotion: "Thank you so much!"
One thing to say, this red-haired man is indeed an upright type, and when he expresses his gratitude, he is naturally sincere and without any compromise.
Agnes looked at the other party in surprise. However, her spiritual sense could not detect the slightest hint of forgery on the other side, so her smile became more natural.
"...I can't guarantee that the goods on it will be useful to you, but at least you can dismantle the ship and use it as consumables."
"So, what kind of cargo is there?"
"...high-quality compressed energy blocks, integrated capacitor plates, and high-carbon railgun warheads, as well as some high-explosive phlogiston tanks and some mithril ingots. Oh, I took all the mithril ingots."
"Miss Agnes, you are simply the goddess of victory bestowed upon the Blue Star community by the spirit of the universe!" Horatio Wayne's thanks became even more disgusting, but still very sincere.
Of course Kent was also very excited and ordered the fleet to sail towards the space point marked by Agnes. As for the temporarily unmanned "cruise ship", it can be towed by the Victory for the time being.
Of course, he also very keenly noticed the subtext: "Is the empire building an arsenal in Lanza?"
"Yes. In addition to the two livable planets there, there are also rich ores of excellent quality in the asteroid belt, and the star's illumination is also very stable. There is also mithril and orichalcum on Lanza. It is suitable for building an arsenal, good
The current scale is not large. In the future, the empire will expand the scale of construction, right? Tsk, those mithril mines were discovered by us."
"Is this to supply the fire god Ai Ran? To expand the scale of construction... Hmm, huh?" Horatio Wayne seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up.
At this time, the chief of staff had already arranged for a group of people from Beifeng Company to wait for dinner in the restaurant. After receiving the notification, Michiel Kent ordered to arrange for them to live in spacious guest rooms on the Victory.
He could see it now. With over sixty people crammed into the cruise ship size ship across the way, it was easy to imagine how cramped the living environment was. However, these people could run a pioneer camp.
If so, it would be too unrealistic.
Kent did not hide it and directly raised his question.
"The camp? Of course it was incorporated by the empire. Now, Mr. Wu has surrendered. Don't blame him, general. Although he is a famous adventurer and planet pioneer, he is just an ordinary person who wants to live a good life." Gumeiya
The person sighed.
Kent had already found Beifeng Company's information from his terminal, and of course he knew that Mr. Wu was talking about the company's co-founder, Mr. Urnovich, a famous adventurer who was born on Earth. He and his
Madam’s husband and wife team are indeed celebrities in the planet development industry.
"Mrs. Wu is pregnant, and Mr. Wu has brought his family to the Lanza system. They are just adventurers and cannot fight against the empire's army. If they accept the rule of the empire, they may be able to become pioneering nobles.
What about a title?" Agnes added.
There is a saying, this is actually the smartest choice for ordinary people.
"As for Mr. Ginsu, he returned home before the war started, saying that something big was going to happen in his hometown of Terrabi, and he had to go and take charge."
Wayne and Kent looked at each other.
Of course they knew what the so-called major event was. It was nothing more than that the top management of the Cathay Kingdom was almost wiped out, the fleet was completely destroyed, the capital was hit by several big bombs, and almost all the country was burned, so the Terrabi people took advantage of the opportunity.
An independent country was established.
Because this group of cat-eared people behaved pragmatically, respectfully, humbly and loyally, they were really recognized by the big bosses of the empire. The great cause of independence is equivalent to more than half of the success.
Under such circumstances, it is reasonable for Ginsu, as the number one master of the Terrabi people, to return to his country to participate in such a major event.
As a result, the three founders of Beifeng Development Company all left their stage, leaving only Agnes who got on the bus last.
