The riot quickly swept through the entire city of Kerna like a raging fire.
Even the elite Imperial Guards, oh no, the space station administrator's security personnel, felt a little unprepared at this time. They had indeed thought about the possibility of pirates revolting in the city, and even prepared several emergency suppression plans;
However, this sudden riot developed so fast that it completely exceeded their imagination and all planned directions.
What's even more troublesome is that Lieutenant General Tadan and Marquis Odegaard pointed out that they are still in the port, and another violent explosion occurred there. The situation should be very critical. The area where the rioting pirates are located is much closer to the port and shipyard.
, who knows if the thugs will suddenly think twice and go to the shipyard to do shopping for zero dollars.
Once the space shipyard where the empire spends a lot of money is destroyed, it will be a major dereliction of duty by all the security personnel present. If another vice admiral and imperial noble are injured...according to the imperial regulations, nothing good will happen to all of them here.
The consequences may even affect family members.
Just thinking about that possible future, the imperial officers and soldiers present were trembling with anger, but they couldn't even cry.
“Your Excellency, please evacuate from the emergency escape route immediately! The third team, go over immediately to respond!” The Imperial Brigadier General responsible for the defense and management of the military zone could only give this order.
“But, sir, the emergency access pipe was also affected by the explosion, and the entrance hatch to the dock was damaged and could not be opened for a while. And...”
"what else?!"
"There is a report from the port area that pirates are already attacking the shipyard! Also, several emergency passages that happened to pass through the business district were damaged in the riot just now... Our troops and combat robots cannot maneuver quickly.
!”
“This is no coincidence at all!” The Brigadier slammed the table in front of him hard: “The enemy knows the structure of this space city and everything here! We have a traitor!”
The officers present looked at each other in confusion, feeling that what the general said made sense, but the more sense it made, the more suspicious it seemed to the colleagues next to him.
Even so, they understood that now was not the time to look for traitors, so they could only suppress their doubts in their hearts, gritted their teeth, and sent more troops to enter the riot scene from the front.
They must get through the "business district" where riots are taking place before they can reach the ports and shipyards that are in urgent need of support.
But at this time, the pirates came first. They crowded in the hatch passage that they usually dare not look at, and they all looked like beaten bulls.
The Wookiee bandit leader shouted "waaaagh!" and led a hundred or so extremely capable pirates and mercenaries through the spacious passage and rushed towards the main entrance of the military restricted area.
"Warning! Warning! Outsiders, you have approached the restricted area of this station! You have approached the restricted area of this station! After three warnings, if you do not retreat, we will automatically fire!" The automatic sentry gun turned its muzzle,
A warning sound was sounded.
“For the solar wind radish! For the free nebula!”
“For the free nebula! Down with the imperial oppressors!” the pirates shouted in unison, their eyes flashing red, as if they could burn the fire of the old world.
The security robot at the door is still executing the final warning program: "Back off immediately! Pirates! Stop your riot immediately!"
“This is not a riot! This is a revolution!” the Wookiee roared again, knocking out the dedicated announcer with a single click of the grenade, and then took the lead with the power hammer.
He was a heroic pioneer, so he soon got the end that a pioneer deserved. He was accurately beaten into a hornet's nest by the imperial soldiers, but he was unable to stop the completely crazy pirates.
Where are they still pirates? Even those elite Imperial stormtroopers who shout "repay the emperor's favor with death" every day, that's all.
“There are extraordinary fluctuations in the psychic detector... They should be affected by spiritual psychic energy!” A technician soon sent a report, and then looked at his boss expectantly.
What he means is very simple. There are psykers among the enemies, so will our Astral Knights here also be dispatched? There have always been rumors that there is a three-person Astral Knights combat team stationed in the fortress of Kerna City.
, plus their attendants? The existence of these astral knights is one of the reasons why the pirates dare not make trouble here at will! Now, the pirates are so arrogant, it is time to show them why the empire is half
Galaxy's father!
The Brigadier kept a tight face and said nothing, thinking that if I had an Astral Knight in my hand, would I still be talking to you here?
After all, he is a general, and he was also born into a minor nobleman of the empire. He knows a little bit about the games played by the big shots in the imperial capital. He knows that building such a large-scale space fortress in the far shore nebula will cost more than building it elsewhere.
Twenty or thirty, not counting the sacrifices and pensions of those who died in the line of duty. In addition, the empire also needs to use the most elite engineers and technicians. This is no longer an effort to mobilize troops, but purely a snake spirit.
In short, because of this matter, the Prime Minister's Office and the Privy Council fought with each other on a daily basis, and there were even fights within the Privy Council. The fight lasted for ten years, and although the supporters eventually won, many senior officials still had doubts about this arduous construction.
The project is full of doubts. Some ministers who were born as technocrats even believe that even if the fortress is built, the future maintenance costs will be astronomical, and sooner or later it will be abandoned due to lack of necessary revenue and strategic value.
Since it is such a remote fortress that was built after competing with each other, compromising with each other, and being built amidst countless accusations and doubts, how could the high-ranking Astral Knight really stay here to drink from the northwest wind?
But, how can this kind of thing be tolerated by outsiders? Isn’t it reasonable for the pirates to think that there are a few astral knights who live in seclusion here?
Who knew that we would actually encounter a situation where they would have to appear at this time!
Facing the expectant looks of the people below, the brigadier general ordered solemnly: "This small scene also requires the knights to be dispatched? Are you still worthy of being glorious imperial soldiers? This, um... let the frontline soldiers put on defense
Force field helmet, prepare sedatives!"
Some scientists believe that psykers' mental control over people is related to various force fields, so they developed this kind of helmet for front-line soldiers. It's hard to say whether it will be useful. Anyway, combined with high-concentration sedative injections, it can be effective for ordinary soldiers.
Mind control combat skills still have good resistance.
"Let all the battle robots out!" the brigadier general said again. He was very fortunate that the main backbone of this fortress were drawn from various departments. The largest backstage kings, King Wilent and King Dendur, were two of the more lively thinkers in the election of the emperor.
As long as they don't have the airs of those old legions with glorious histories, they can unscrupulously use robots, war weapons that are looked down upon by old-school soldiers.
Then, only twelve metal rolling balls were seen rolling out from the passage next to the front of the Forbidden Army. Then they made a squeaking and twisting sound, and then they bounced into a crawling machine more than two meters high and unfolded.
The strong armor also leaves a shooting angle and field of view.
These large robots slowly advanced carrying shield-like armor plates, with Vulcan cannons and revolving grenade guns on the armed arms extending out on both sides, and they launched a burst of indiscriminate bombardment at crowded places.
Imperial soldiers wearing exoskeletons and anti-force field helmets also poured out, moving forward step by step under the cover of robots, calling and finishing blows to the pirates who slipped through the net one by one.
Equipped with equipment, the Imperial soldiers quickly gained the upper hand. Of course, their current goal was to break through the chaotic "Business District" and go to the port area for support. It was actually made up of dozens of large space capsules. Look,
It is relatively spacious when going up, but the connection between the various cabins will have a bottleneck effect. It is still a bit troublesome for these large robots, which are nearly three meters high, to pass. This battle still needs to be fought.
Neither the emperor nor the pirates noticed that in the gap between a pipe not far from their battle, an unknown creature with a strange skeleton was huddled in the corner, secretly observing.
The unknown creature thought about it for a while, and turned into a liquid like a slime. With a slight jump, it got into the relatively spacious engineering pipe from the crack. It stretched its twisted body slightly, and then
Restored to a human "girl" of fourteen or fifteen years old.
She climbed bit by bit, heading towards the core of the fortress. She knew very well that what could allow her to quickly recover her body and improve her strength was not just the diverse genes of various creatures, but also some rare zeroes that could be absorbed by the body.
Elements, spiritual marrow liquid, moon dew, golden blood, and various life gems. And the knowledge she mastered also told her that the warehouses of large military bases like this should have some zero elements, especially those with deep wealth and wealth.
An empire that is extremely good at manipulating alchemical equipment.
In fact, she did sense the smell of the zero element - in this regard, the girl's perception ability is definitely comparable to that of the top demigods.
However, the Imperial Army's work is indeed impeccable. They have arranged various self-disciplined weapons to guard and guard some places that are inaccessible to normal people. The "girl" feels that there is a high possibility of being discovered if she sneaks in rashly. After all, she is still on the run.
Those who do not dare to show up at will, nor do they dare to take risks.
Fortunately, now that the empire's battle robots are out in force, there are a lot of loopholes left for us.
Even so, she was still extremely cautious, opened her senses to the maximum, and crawled forward cautiously, while thinking about the current situation.
In short, the empire was beaten? But it has nothing to do with me. Once I swallow the zero element, I will find a way to escape! Just break a wall and escape. Anyway, no one will pay attention to me during the war. By the way
, and the psychic fluctuations just now... there are masters fighting! It is even more inappropriate to stay here for a long time.
If it were in the past, the "girl" would have sneaked away and hid nearby to see if she could become a profitable fisherman. You must know that for her, psykers are the most precious delicacies and the most valuable food.
A highly nutritious tonic, it is more tonic than ordinary zero elements or even phantom beasts.
But during this period of time, she always felt that she seemed to have been maliciously intruded by the spirit of the universe. She had been having a bad time recently, either being beaten by masters who occasionally passed by or being judged by justice from heaven. She felt that it was better to develop first, at least until she
Break through to the fifth ring or above with your strength, and then build up an army of your own, then think about other things.
"Don't be anxious..." The girl touched her flat belly again and murmured in a low voice: "We will find our own home."
She wanted to say something else, but she couldn't help but shrink back. Her spiritual sense captured more intense extraordinary fluctuations, which were also mixed with heart-stopping pain, anger and even fear.
Someone is injured? Oh, how about... no, no, you have to calm down! You can't be fooled by the small profit in front of you!
The "girl" forced herself not to think about the battle over there anymore, forced herself to calm down, and continued to crawl cautiously.
