Chapter 47: Ambush (1)

Far interstellar, unknown universe.

Outside the window is the vast cosmic nebula, the interior of a starship.

The hall is extremely open, it was built like a resplendent palace, and the walls are inlaid with sconces and night pearls.

A long golden red carpet stretches on the ground, and the light of the wall lamp flows through the plush, silently brewing a luxurious atmosphere.

"We are very sorry for your loss on Beta Alien and the imperfect results."

At the end of the golden-red carpet, a man in black robes greeted the front with one hand on his chest.

The man's attire is very strange, a large black robe from the hood to the feet, wearing a hood can't see his face, and can only tell the gender from the voice.

And his tone was equally strange, as if it mixed two emotions of gentleness and indifference. Even though he said "sorry", it was more like a kind of grace from someone who has been in high positions for a long time, rather than a real apology.

On the carpet are steps.

At the top of the steps are the seats.

The gilded armrests are carved with hideous patterns of skulls and crowns, inlaid with diamonds, pearls and agate.

A young man with a beautiful face sat leaning on it, his crimson messy hair was like a magnificent burning flame.

"It doesn't matter, it was just a test of the technology you brought. I am very satisfied."

The red-haired boy spoke lazily, holding a black cat in his arms, red wine and goblets on the small round table in front of him, and a white floating screen.

The teenager tilted his head with interest: "Besides, life needs to be a little unexpected to be exciting."

He flipped the floating screen in front of him, and the screen turned to the man in black robe.

"Look, told me to find a new little treasure."

There was a video playing on the screen. It was the second military fortress of Yinbeidou. The war was raging in the air, and the specialized air fighter mechas of countless Lava pirates were shooting intensively.

And a cyan-black mecha pierced through the thick smoke like a fright, the gunfire could only brush its two wings, and the mecha climbed up at an almost impossible limit angle...

The screen freezes.

The red-haired boy tapped twice on the screen.

The video is zoomed in and zoomed in again.

The pilot of this mecha was displayed on the screen... It was a young and handsome black-haired youth.

"Don't you think? Such a person, such a mecha..."

The red-haired boy slowly stroked the black cat's fur with his fingers wearing a gold ring. The cat stretched its neck lazily under his hand and purred.

The teenager licked his lower lip, his eyes hot: "...It's so beautiful."

"It's so beautiful... I want to kill him with my own hands."

The man in the black robe below seemed to chuckle a little.

"Then, as you wish."

"The brilliance of the crystal particles will benefit all sentient beings and I. I wish us a happy cooperation this time... Your Excellency, Young Master Chilong."

Alpha Alien, the Silver Big Dipper Fortress.

Comet M-Chop set off the next day, before dawn was completely broken.

Xie Yuduo and Rita personally sent Garcia to the gate of the fortress on the first floor, looking up at the A-level mecha taking off.

Rita said softly, "Major General, do you think..."

Xie Yuduo looked indifferent, and before she finished speaking, he said, "Don't ask, this time something is not right, and I don't know what to do."

At this time, the major general no longer made public noises, another kind of cold and iron-blooded temperament overwhelmed the natural elegance in his eyebrows, he was the general of Yin Beidou.

"It stands to reason that I should not let Garcia go down."

Xie Yuduo closed his phoenix eyes and said in a complicated tone, "Three years ago, Prince Le'an drove Jin Xiaofei away from the first fortress of Yin Beidou and never came back."

He sneered and shook his slightly long hair: "This year's military general meeting will be held in a few days, if His Royal Highness Garcia makes another mistake in the hands of alien creatures... I should be among the old undead. He knelt down and kowtowed in front of him, took the blame and resigned on the spot."

Rita couldn't help but whispered, "Major General!"

"...But as long as I'm still in this position, the rules of Yin Beidou are my final say."

Xie Yuduo raised his head, looked at the sky with deep eyes, and said in a low voice: "There are no royal relatives here, only victory and defeat and life and death - this is my rule."

...

"—This is the rule of Major General Xie, and in fact, it is also the rule of most truly admirable imperial generals."

In Zhan Comet's cockpit, Jiang Jianming said lightly, "He loves me and he loves me, but he is not ambiguous about the business, so I want to come out with you, only secretly."

Garcia snorted with a half-smile beside him.

In fact, it is not difficult to secretly bring out the disabled human, as long as the disabled human is stuffed into the treatment cabin of the mecha in advance, and then the treatment cabin is pushed into the blind corner of the line of sight.

When he opened the mecha and entered the cockpit, Xie Yuduo who was outside didn't notice anything wrong at all.

The mecha kept flying at a constant speed along the preset route. There was no enemy in this part of the journey, it was just a mechanical hurry. Jiang Jianming handed over the driving to Seth Henry.

While chatting with Garcia, he openly flipped through His Royal Highness's military wrist phone and looked at the information transferred by Xie Yuduo.

Jiang Jianming: "At that time, when our team found the B-level subspecies, it was injured."

"According to the statistics, the alien creatures that suddenly appeared are all wounded."

Jiang Jianming had almost seen it, so he closed the information: "The fortress' speculation is that perhaps higher-level alien creatures suddenly appeared somewhere, and drove the alien creatures that originally lived there."

Garcia: "And you think?"

"There are too many coincidences," Jiang Jianming said calmly, "There may be artificial forces."

"Start with the 'new blood' of the officers during the adaptation period, and then quickly destroy all the expedition teams that came, so fast that they don't have time to send back specific information to the fortress..."

"I always feel that this set of procedures is a bit like putting a long line to catch a big fish - such as catching you."

Garcia looked at him deeply: "...Who were you before."

Jiang Jianming: "Didn't you read my file? It's just an ordinary military cadet."

Garcia glanced at him amusingly, and suddenly took out an apple slowly from his hand: "There is one point that I must explain in advance."

"Xie Yuduo may have told you... I don't care about the safety of Yin Beidou, nor the empire. Staying in the fortress is more of a cooperative relationship of interests."

Garcia put the apple to his lips, he didn't eat it, just rubbed his chin with the smooth red skin of the apple, and pondered:

"So in the event of an emergency, I will take my own wishes as the highest priority."

Jiang Jianming: "I know."

You are wild.

"I mean," Garcia emphasized, "Next, you have to obey my wishes, not the interests of the fortress."

"I know this too." Jiang Jianming nodded.

So His Royal Highness Garcia took out another apple, pulled the hand of the residual crystal human, and put it into his palm: "Very good, eat with me."

Jiang Jianming: "..."

Fortunately, after getting along for half a month, Jiang Jianming has completely recovered the feeling of coaxing His Highness Le'an back then, and he can handle this person's occasional ingenuity and willfulness with ease.

In this way, they talked nonsense while talking about their business, and in the afternoon, the snow mountain where the officers in the adaptation period were trained was already in front of them.

Jiang Jianming took over control from Zhinao Set, and manipulated Comet Zhan to lower the fuselage and turn to low-altitude flight.

They traveled in the direction of the Yinbeidou expedition team, and they saw a few traces of camping in the middle of the road.

"Calculate by time," Jiang Jianming glanced at the screen and said solemnly, "This should be the place where the exploration team rested for the last time."

He clicked on the map: "The environment ahead is... a dense forest?"

Garcia frowned slightly. There are many obstacles in the environment where tall vegetation grows densely, and the field of vision is not wide, which is conducive to ambush, and is a strong test for mecha manipulation.

If a battle between new humans and alien creatures takes place here, it is obvious that the former will fall into a disadvantageous position.

If this series of events is really man-made... then the soldiers of the Yin Beidou Expedition Team have come to death without knowing anything.

M-Chop Comet into the jungle!

The eye is obscured by giant trees and vines, and a pale white moss-like covering.

Most of the vegetation here is weirdly distorted. The surrounding crystal particles are very dense, and many tree trunks even condense thin real crystal ore by themselves.

It was very quiet in the jungle, Jiang Jianming held his breath, and vaguely heard a regular abnormal sound coming from the depths of the front.

The prince obviously heard it, his eyes darkened slightly, and he whispered: "It's like the sound of alien creatures eating."

Jiang Jianming understood and nodded lightly. The mech sneaks silently. The speed of slashing the comet was extremely fast, and in an instant, countless tree shadows were left behind, and the scene in front of him changed——

I saw that under a giant tree covered with vines in front, there were piles of human stumps and corpses!

The blood was frozen in the freezing temperature, and the corpses were disemboweled, some limbs were torn, some skulls were trampled to pieces, and their brains flowed to the ground.

The drone sent by the fortress to detect it was also destroyed here. In the tragic scene, the military emblem of Yin Beidou could be seen vaguely, and the original snow silver color could no longer be seen due to blood pollution.

And in the middle of the amputation...

Those were five alien creatures that had never been registered before. Their mouths and stomachs were huge, and their bodies were somewhat similar to toads, but they had eight limbs and were lying on the ground like tumors.

They were eating the ground full of minced meat with their long, curled tongues, and seemed startled by the mecha, when one of the toads let out a series of weird calls, and half of the human intestines fell bloody from its mouth.

The five of them together, turned around and ran.

This scene was terrible, Jiang Jianming's face turned pale and his lips tightened.

The mecha suddenly accelerated, next to Garcia Binghan's voice: "Don't look, let's chase."

Seeing Comet Zhan pass over the stump, Jiang Jianming suddenly said, "Wait!"

He endured the feeling of nausea, and through the glass barrier in front of him, he focused his eyes on the broken corpse again: "Your Highness, something is wrong."

"It is speculated that the expedition team was killed two days ago. These corpses... Although they were very fragmented, they were too intact."

Garcia raised his brows slightly, and he immediately realized the meaning of Jiang Jianming's words.

really. The bodies of these Yin Beidou advance teams looked bloody, but at least the head was the head, the body was the body, and the hands and feet were hands and feet... If they were eaten for two days, there should be nothing left.

Jiang Jianming: "The alien creatures should not be so considerate, and they wait until we come over to start eating."

As he spoke, he manipulated Comet Slash to open the cannon, and the flames ignited the giant tree in front of him.

"Bait?" Garcia's eyes dimmed.

After only a second, the prince made a judgment: "That's even more to chase."

Jiang Jianming understood.

- Just because they are in the light and the enemy is in the dark. If you don't pursue it now, you will never know who is the evildoer who wants to target Yin Beidou.

Jiang Jianming sighed softly: "Your Highness, so you don't care about the safety of the fortress."

His hands fell on the mecha's console again, "I can understand this sentence based on your 'won't take care of me' as a standard, right?"

Garcia: "...Shut up, turn on the armor."

The cold wind blew, and the firelight climbed up the giant tree like a snake. Soon, the withered grass, vines and corpses under the giant tree also burned with a crackling sound.

This is a cremation. Those sacrificed soldiers of the Silver North will be turned into ashes between heaven and earth in the fire, and they will go away in the wind, or sleep in the snow forever.

The M-Chopping Comet threw the fire behind the steel body, and it chased in the direction that the alien creatures fled.

The author has something to say: Garcia: Gao Leng, amnesiac, will not take special care of anyone, and will not care about anything.

Jiang: ... ok ok (sighing indulgently
