"Beside the ancient road outside Changting, the green grass reaches the sky~~~~~"
Yu Lian carried a large package and sang songs as he walked through the ruins of the ancient city of Sero. Although there was no hot pot, and although the red card virtual order captured last time had officially completed its historical mission, he was still very happy.
The items in the bag can be distributed to friends, or sold directly. As for those things that are not easy for friends to know, of course they have already been stored in the ring.
The only thing that is a bit of a pity is actually the collection buried under the ruins. Although Master Wanda is a layman, he is also a very tasteful layman. Whether it is the fine wine or the finest tobacco and cigars, they are all Yu Lian loves.
It's a pity that they are all gone, and many of them are still excellent products that have been discontinued!
But no matter what, this unpleasant episode couldn't affect his good mood. When he was about to walk out of the ruins and arrived at the meeting place as planned, he saw his friends gathering around a bonfire.
Eating field rations makes me happier.
Of course Feifei is fine, and the marines brought by Yu Lian are also intact, and there are a few more friends who are also intact, such as Miss Ina Silica, and so on.
In addition, there is a Rumina man lying on the ground whose painting style does not match his style. If you look closely, it is not the legendary Lumina savior, the rebellious one in the hearts of everyone at Red Maple Factory, the so-called White General "Colmo"
?
Of course, this guy is not white at all now. He has lost one leg and one arm. His whole body is covered with dried dark brown blood and dust. The carapace that is densely covered all over his body is covered with scars, and some of them have even been obviously torn off.
, it all looks painful.
This looks like an evil ghost who has just climbed down from the battlefield of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. However, considering that this guy is lying on the ground now not knowing whether to live or die, it is very likely that he has just suffered a miserable torture.
This is very bad, and abusing prisoners of war is also a violation of the interstellar convention. Although countries have not strictly adhered to it, a convention is a convention.
Yu Lian did not deliberately cover up the sound of his footsteps or restrain his breath. Everyone should have noticed him long ago, and they did not deliberately stay alert.
When Feifei's eyes glanced over, Yu Lian quickly stopped his drool-worthy smile and revealed a graceful smile - this was something he had just learned from "Count Salvin" in his spiritual treasure house.
Here's a new expression.
"I feel relieved to see that everyone is still healthy."
Feifei seemed to be very interested in this new expression and stared at it for a few seconds longer: "It's a pity that Flores Wanda escaped. Fortunately, we finally captured Colmo."
"Are you sure it's him?" Of course, this is nonsense. Yu Lian is quite confident in the abilities of Feifei and his friends. However, as a member of the system, he must go through the cutscenes.
"It's definitely him!" The person who spoke was Simon Vayali. Before entering the Military Academy, he had been serving in the Far Coast Sector. He had also served as a sergeant major and had fought with the Rumina rebels who had fled to surrounding galaxies.
The army has fought in several battles, and even sniped and killed psykers. He is considered a local snake here, and has a certain understanding of these important leaders of the Rumina rebels. Although Kolmo has only emerged in the past few years.
Although he is a junior, Simon has also read the former’s information carefully.
"It is true that there are not many Rumina people with white armor, but I will never mistake Colmo's appearance. Not to mention his strength!"
What a look! Yu Lian was immediately in awe. He really couldn’t distinguish the appearance of the Rumina people. If he didn’t rely on his spiritual energy to sense the life magnetic field, no one would be able to recognize him. He has always felt that Baba
There is really no difference between Lu and Colmo, except that one is black and the other is white, and the former's body thickness and width are 1.5 times that of the latter.
"Very good! As for that side..." Yu Lian glanced at the ruins of Gusero City behind him: "Almost all the cultists and leaders of the Rumina rebels are there, everywhere."
"Marshal Paris once said that if you succeed this time, the community will no longer have to worry about the security of the Lumina planet within ten years." Feifei said with a smile: "So, I can regard the victory record as this time.
Is that one of the headlines of the report?"
Haha...Rebels are always an itch. If I can't establish a sound development plan for long-term peace and stability here for more than thirty years, then it will be a waste of money. Yu Lian thought.
As for the longer term, there is nothing we can do. The course of history is still not going to look good.
However, the premise of everything is that the external environment of the Lumina Galaxy can at least be in a relatively stable situation. Thinking of this, Yu Lian looked at Kolmo who was lying on the ground. He had a broken arm and
One leg was lying on the ground as if lifeless. Although the body was still huge, it looked rickety and even a bit cowering, like an old dog whose backbone had been broken.
Of course, he also noticed Yu Lian's arrival, so he raised his head and squeezed out a pleading and flattering smile on his carapace.
The expression system of Lumina people is of course different from that of humans, but Yu Lian can still sense the emotional changes of the other party with his spiritual energy. This shows that Kolmo, a psyker, does not have any defenses and is indeed kneeling.
Yes, he is really begging for mercy.
"Is this really Kolmo?" Yu Lian couldn't help but ask again.
This Lumina rebel leader probably died too early, and will not leave more than one paragraph of records in the history books in the future. However, after all, he is the best among the children of the Red Maple Factory, and the empire will use him as a
The leader can at least be regarded as a character. Yu Lian thought that this guy would at least "show" some backbone.
"It's really him." Simon said helplessly, "So I thought this might be a trap."
"But he... is so cooperative, so he should be treated as a prisoner in a humanitarian manner." Meng Jiao tried his best to contain his disdain, and still spoke from the perspective of an outstanding officer with a conscience.
"Cooperate?" Cooperate for what? Will we cooperate with you to engage in prisoner-of-war py?
"He is very cooperative. He almost answers whatever he asks. I have recorded all his confessions just now. The big shots above should be able to use them." Feifei said with a smile.
Ina's face was full of disdain: "Really, he is far worse than that Kaz Khan! Since he is the leader of the Rumina rebels, shouldn't he have some backbone? Here in the Milky Way, even the indigenous rebels are not
Not as good as the New World?"
"I still think this is a trap." Simon Vayali said.
"Then cut off two fingers and ask again. Or tear off half of the carapace?" Ina became eager to try. Yu Lian felt that this girl was not the yandere type, she was just making fun of her.
"You can't do this, it will violate military regulations." Meng Jiao helplessly adhered to the conscience of a professional officer.
Yu Lian leaned down, looked directly into the Lumina people's eyes, and said kindly: "Mr. Kolmo, right? You can also see that our community soldiers are not demons after all, and we have always been particular about avoiding past mistakes and avoiding future ones. We are here for the time being.
It's up to me to make the decision. Do you mind telling me what you just told everyone again?"
The legendary General Bai's broken carapace twitched, and he let out a bitter smile from his mouth, saying: "...I have been entrusted by the empire. There is an important figure in the empire who needs the god of the sky, that is, the ten thousand heads.
The beast’s life core, so I was entrusted to participate in this plan throughout the entire process.”
"..." How pitiful! That virtual beast.
"In exchange, the empire promised to increase its efforts to support the Lumina people's independence movement and include the Lumina people as a member of the vassal state."
"It's quite sincere." Yu Lian nodded.
In the political system of the empire, although the citizens of the vassal countries did not have much status, they were still "foreigners", which was much better than those true second-class races in the mainland who could not even obtain civil rights.
Once it comes to diplomatic relations, even the imperial nobles will restrain themselves. Even if they want to bully, they must pay attention to methods and methods that are reasonable and reasonable.
In addition, who said that vassal states cannot have diplomatic relations? This is obviously an advanced form of alliance!
If the Rumina people could really become independent and become a vassal state under the empire, life would be much better than during the previous colonial rule of the empire.
"In addition, you might be able to use the expansion of the empire in the east to swallow up the entire Far Coast sector and establish a regional power belonging to the Rumina people. Is that right?"
The other party sneered and said nothing, basically acquiescing.
This is indeed the ultimate goal of the Rumina separatists in future generations.
You know, since the last independence movement, the wise people of the empire have realized that it may be unrealistic to regain control over the community and the people on earth. Instead of doing this, it is better to completely dismember it and form a
The strategic buffer zone between the Empire and the Alliance will not stimulate the fragile nerves of the Alliance and other powerful countries.
In other words, other countries are still happy to see the results.
Once the community is dismembered, the relatively remote Far Coast Star Sector will be one of the separated parts.
However, with a distant nebula and three or four vassal states, it is unrealistic for the empire to directly rule. If left to other vassal states, it may lead to over-strengthening of one country and cause an imbalance of power.
Rather than doing this, it would be better to hand over this sector to a new dog that has joined the team, is hungry but also loyal.
You are going to be a dog anyway, so why not just find the most powerful and generous owner?
"As for me... I have become a slave knight of the Astral Knights because of the great favor I received from Marquis Odegaard. If this goes well, I can become an official Astral Knight." Kolmo continued.
"Marquis Odegaard? The one who just succeeded?" Yu Lian frowned slightly.
Seeing the other party nodding, Yu Lian secretly said that it was true.
Just as Yu Liang was about to ask how the other party planned to contact the empire, he saw that Meng Jiao next to him seemed to have received a message from the outside world. He pressed the earphone and his face suddenly darkened.
"Sir, there is a call from Fog City No. 14 in outer space. There is a fleet jumping into the Lumina system. It is definitely... the Moda Black Flag Army."
Colmo's cheek twitched again, and the muscles under the broken carapace were twitching and the wounds were clearly tangled.
"Come here to meet us? Just these guys? Can their broken ship pass through the far shore nebula?"
The so-called Moda Black Flag Army is one of the few forces with space power among the Lumina rebels. Of course, it is more like a group of pirates under the banner of "uprising" than the Lumina rebels. Its leader is called
Moda is a very rare naval leader among the Rumina race who have "relocated to their homeland". At its peak, he still had hundreds of ships and tens of thousands of pirates under his command. He usually used the far shore nebula as his base.
The one on the end is a big pirate who roared across the galaxy.
The "Rumina Rebel" fleet that Venn killed during his internship was this guy's subordinate.
However, one theory is that Moda's Black Flag Army is really just pirates disguised as rebels. Moda is from Lumina, but most of his subordinates are not.
Of course, the materials and foreign aid that the Rumina rebels received were basically transported by them, so it was not unjust if they were beaten.
However, it is one thing to pretend to be a "rebel" to make some smuggling money, but it is another thing to fight for your "rebel partners" in front of the regular fleet of the Community.
Moreover, with the broken ships of the Black Flag Army, it would not be a big problem to treat the far shore nebula as a mouse hole, but it would be too unrealistic to directly pass through the entire nebula and reach the empire's strength.
To put it bluntly, in order to hide from the officers and soldiers, bandits can of course hide in caves, but they can't really climb over the snow-capped mountains!
"...This is all the arrangement of Marquis Odegaard. According to the original plan, I should indeed deliver the life crystal of the ten thousand-headed beast to Moda. That's all I really know."
Colmo is indeed too cooperative, no wonder the friends are still suspecting it is a trap.
Yu Lian stopped paying attention to the other party and said to Ina: "Please contact senior sister...Colonel Bonaparte to give us permission to board the ship!"
