Since the destruction of the Scarlet Star, the star thief army has spread fiercely, and the people who mentioned it did not look afraid.

The jet-black battleship was called the "Black Phantom", and it disappeared like a ghost. And "Reaper" and "Firefox" were also spread, ranking first and foremost on the Empire's most wanted list, and the reward amount was so high that people were jealous, but no one dared to reveal the list.

Ruan Yuebai did not leave immediately, but stayed on the Black Phantom temporarily, and led Rong Heng and his party to Barham Star, to replenish the fleet and weapons Lansing had promised with the Barham Arsenal.

But aside from the necessary meetings, he was like a shadow on the Black Phantom, barely there.

Since the explosion of the Scarlet Star and Lansing's death, his mood has become very light. He used to be taciturn and gloomy, but now he has no mood at all.

In Nuota's words, he was like a migrating fish, but he lost his way and lost his companions halfway. Drifting dazedly in the water, drifting with the current.

Rong Heng was noncommittal about this, he had too many things to do, and he couldn't divide his energy to shut down other people.

But Nota's words moved him: "Didn't you always want to build an invincible fleet? He is strong enough to be a captain."

Today's interstellar pirate group is not without powerful people, but these people were originally wanted criminals or star pirates recruited from all over the world, and they are extremely vicious people. The premise of their allegiance to Rong Heng is that he can bring them huge benefits. Not to mention loyalty and faithfulness, it is impossible to even entrust oneself.

Once Rong Heng happened, the first wave of anti-water is estimated to be these people.

Therefore, Rong Heng has been selecting reliable candidates over the years, preparing to accumulate enough resources to build a fleet loyal to himself.

It's just that soldiers are easy to find, but good generals are hard to find.

So far, only Nota has passed his test.

Now that Nuota mentioned Ruan Yuebai, he thought about it seriously and thought that this was indeed a good candidate.

Ruan Yuebai is of mermaid bloodline. He is not only good at water attack, but also has a very smart brain. Compared with Nota's rough and simple fighting style, he is more like a strategist, who can strategize on all sides.

"You can get in touch and have a look," Rong Heng said the most.

With a wine glass in hand, Nuota searched for Ruan Yuebai in the rest cabin.

They were on their way to Barham Star, and Ruan Yuebai was happy to be quiet. Most of the time, he stayed alone in the corner of the rest cabin, quietly looking out the porthole.

"What's so beautiful outside? It's dark." Nota leaned over and looked out head to head with him.

Ruan Yuebai leaned back a little uncomfortable, pulled away, and said in a hoarse voice, "Is something wrong?"

He doesn't like chatting with people, and now he stays just to keep his promise.

"I can't find you if I have nothing to do?" Nota shrugged and shook the glass at him. She was originally very charming and beautiful in appearance, but the scars running through her cheeks made her a little more outrageous, and her words and deeds were rough, diluting the natural charm of the nine-tailed fox clan, and making her a little more forthright.

"I think we are very destined." She approached Ruan Yuebai again and pointed to the wound on his face.

It means that their faces are hurt and their faces are broken.

"I cut myself with a knife to avoid pursuit and trouble." She rolled her eyes slyly, stared at Ruan Yuebai and said, "How about you?"

Ruan Yuebai frowned subconsciously, and turned her cheeks to the side of the shadow, hiding the scars on her face.

The mermaid family noted that his appearance was engraved in his genes, and even though it had been so long, he still faced himself. When I stayed with Lansing in Scarlett, the place where they lived didn't even put a mirror.

He was also reluctant to bring up that difficult time.

But Nota's eyes were clear, and he was mentioned with a "we're the same" intimacy that didn't offend him too much.

About the time Lansing left, he was too lonely, and at this moment he had the desire to talk.

He brushed the long blue hair that covered his cheeks and said in a hoarse voice, "It was done in the laboratory. The injury has not been properly treated and it has deteriorated."

Originally, the scars should not have been so severe, but at that time, he escaped from the transport ship that transported the experiment, and was left in the junk star. At that time, the environment was harsh, and the scars on the face and tail were naturally impossible to be properly treated, and even the infection worsened. When he arrived, he left a large scar, and even one eye lost his ability to see.

Although he came to Lansing to find him and found a doctor to treat him, the fluid that eroded the wound was too special, and the damage had been reversed.

"I just said we were very destined." Nota propped his chin, and the only remaining flaming fox tail swayed gently on his body.

Ruan Yuebai noticed that she only had one tail.

Similar experiences have made the estrangement between the two fade away. Ruan Yuebai is still withdrawn and gloomy, but occasionally chats with Nuota for a while.

Ruan Shiqing watched as Nuota coaxed Ruan Yuebai into his own camp before arriving at Ballam Star.

The three formed an alliance.

Rong Heng wanted to find out the truth of her mother's death and avenge her; and Nuota wanted to be the governor of Tutar, and let those noble purebloods kneel at her feet; as for Ruan Yuebai, since Lansing and Sijia Lan star After perishing together, he lost his goal and was able to find a good place, so he followed Nuota's advice and stayed, trying to use Rong Heng and Nuota as new companions.

Ruan Shiqing shuttled through the huge "Black Phantom", watching the three people continue to perfect the plan to attack the Ballam star.

The three occasionally disagree and argue. Nota and Rong Heng's tempers were not good, and most of all, Ruan Yuebai was the mediator, trying to make a compromise.

Everything seems to be completely different from the first one, but in subtle ways, it reveals similar shadows.

Even though the experience is different and the character has changed, it seems that they are still the cubs that Ruan Shiqing is familiar with.

He roams on the battleship, and will sit with Ruan Yuebai for a while when he sits in a daze; when Nuota is drunk, he will remind her that alcoholism hurts her health; and when Rong Heng is fighting alone While browsing the news related to Si Yan in the room, hug him from the back and tell him over and over that your father is not what you saw, he loves you very much.

Even if they didn't feel his presence, Ruan Shiqing still took the trouble to repeat it.

Until the Black Phantom arrived at Barham Star first, the battle began.

After several battles, Rong Heng stormed the Barham star. Just when they were about to bring troops into the garrison, there was a sudden change——

A gigantic ark rises from beneath the Barham Armory, full of robot soldiers, posing as a guard. And the commander of the ark made Ruan Shiqing feel more familiar.

The other party did not come to war, but initiated a communication request.

Rong Heng connected the communication and negotiated with the other party.

It was a tall robot, all gold, wearing a black suit and a black top hat, like an old-school gentleman. Even when the muzzles of both sides were aimed at each other, they were still polite.

He introduced himself as "Apocalypse" and explained his purpose.

——He wants to cooperate with Rong Heng.

Staring at the Barham Arsenal is not just Rong Heng, but Apocalypse is also planning to seize control of Barham Star.

Barham's star is quite mechanized, with much of the work being done by robots. Therefore, when Rong Heng stormed the Barham star, Tian Qi also took the opportunity to implant the virus program into the control system, instigating these robots.

But now he is looking for Rong Heng to discuss a business.

"I've heard about the Black Phantom for a long time, and I admire it very much." If you don't look at the appearance, Tianqi's words and deeds are different from those of human beings: "Now is the time when the building is about to fall, since we have the fate to meet, and we have the same fate. For the same purpose, why kill each other? It’s better to work together and get a share of the pie.”

"I know that there are several secret arsenals under the four chaebols, which not only produce a large number of warships and weapons, but also countless robots." He performed an elegant etiquette: "It's just that I can't eat so much by myself. A big cake needs a strong ally."

His attitude can be described as friendly, but unfortunately Rong Heng does not trust him.

In particular, the behavior of this robot has obviously exceeded the scope of robots. He is not like a robot with a set level, but more like a cunning human in a robot shell.

He looked at Nuota and Ruan Yuebai, and the two shook their heads.

Apocalypse obviously saw their doubts, and explained his purpose succinctly: "My word comes from the Book of Revelation, which says that on the Day of Judgment the Lamb will unseal the seal, Summon knights on four horses, white, red, black, and green. These four knights will bring plague, war, famine, and death to mankind, and the world will be destroyed.[Note 1]"

He stretched his arms and grinned with a smile: "The empire is so rotten, only the destruction can usher in a new life."

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse represent the coming of the end.

And he took the "apocalypse" for himself, apparently thinking that he would bring destruction and new life to the empire.

But Rong Heng did not believe his words.

A robot who has awakened self-consciousness and has mastered an army of robots, he doesn't feel that the other party invites him to cooperate just to destroy the world in China. Even if the other party behaves like a human, it will change the fact that the other party is a robot.

Robots and people are only two words apart, but the essence is very different.

As the old saying goes, "If they are not of our race, they must be different." Rong Heng took it seriously.

Their positions are different, and rash cooperation is different from raising tigers.

The negotiation broke down, and the two parties who had a polite conversation a minute ago fired at each other without hesitation.

The artillery fire spread throughout the star of Barham, fighting fiercely for three days and nights, and finally ended with Apocalypse leading the robot soldiers to drive the ark away.

But Rong Heng didn't get a good deal either, and the casualties were much greater than expected.

After tidying up the battlefield, Rong Heng brought Tianqi's hologram to let people check Tianqi's origin.

Ruan Shiqing stared at the hologram and measured this unfamiliar robot with a little familiarity, and finally determined that the apocalypse turned out to be 09.
