Chapter 432: Greeting the Star Lord
Chapter 432: Greeting the Star Lord's Candidates
(Chapter 1 to)
The main city of Weston, the political center of the Lejin Clan.
The Lord's Mansion is located in the center of the square and has a hexagonal shape, as is the layout of the square, with five wide roads leading to all parts of the city.
On the square thousands of meters away from the City Lord's Mansion, nearly 100,000 people were divided into more than ten levels, gathered outside the main gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
The two hundred and thirty-five-year-old Notalode, along with tens of thousands of civilian young men and women, dressed in bright civilian gray low-necked robes and forced to smile on their faces, gathered in front of the huge City Lord's Mansion Square in Weston, the main city of Academia.
Such a welcoming formation was formed five days ago, and there are 12 strata, each with different numbers.
The richest people are the top rulers of the galaxy, who are the least numerous, probably only a few dozen.
From that level to the second level, there were hundreds of people, and when they reached the level of abject poverty at the level of Notalode, these tens of thousands of people selected from the 30 million poor people on the entire planet, became the bottom group of people in the Zuihou row, arranged in the outermost part of the square.
The high-ranking figures on the first three floors all temporarily resided in the City Lord's Mansion, waiting for the arrival of the Star Lord at any time. They can enjoy the most haode treatment while waiting, and they can eat, drink, and be merry in the city lord's mansion.
The city lord's mansion was built by the political magistrate Cooper tens of thousands of years ago, and it was extremely luxurious, stretching for dozens of kilometers.
From the fourth-tier merchants to the twelfth-level untouchables, known as Notarod, those who had the money could stay in hotels and other places near the lord's mansion, and if they did not have enough money, they were provided with food arranged by the administrative officer Cooper and simple dwellings that could be dismantled at any time.
Of course, that kind of food and accommodation is definitely not rich, and even makes them feel very awkward.
However, in order to welcome the star lord, the whole planet moved. Beautification has begun in all key cities, in an effort to enable the new Star Lord to see a peaceful, beautiful, but not rich, but peaceful Apocalypse.
According to the information received by Notarrod and his people, the political affairs officer Cooper will leave the sky after the handover and return to his home galaxy, which is considered a "popular project" before the completion of the administrative officer's thousand-year term.
The Star Lord, who was canonized by the lord himself, is equivalent to a real emperor in this galaxy, and if nothing else, the status of the entire galaxy will also be improved.
Historically, the Aqitian Star was the galaxy where the Lejin tribe distributed untouchables. Countless lowly people have been relocated here by the Lejin hierarchy for various reasons, in order to replenish the population that has been lost to the area due to the constant wars that have been waged for many thousands of years.
To put it bluntly, the Qitian Galaxy is the border galaxy between the LG clan and six or seven other races, which is used as a buffer zone in a state of war, so that the war strategy can be adjusted in time.
Therefore, for countless thousands of years, both the armament and the people here have been in poverty. However, the top brass in this galaxy have not lowered their tax rates or their standard of living.
Therefore, in order to survive, in the families dominated by the poor, in addition to agriculture and labor, the women of many families have already decided on their orders after birth, which is to train prostitutes to obtain the necessary funds for the family's living expenses.
Of course, this is an open secret, but in the official upper echelons, such a thing is absolutely not allowed to be mentioned verbally. In addition, the official and military have basically acquiesced in such things.
Countless officers and soldiers sent by local young men and the Lejin clan spent their military pay to find women to vent after the war on this poor planet, which also became one of the reasons for the breeding of this industry.
Of course, the customers are not only the local system, but also the travelers and merchants who pass through the Acalibrasia system in large numbers. Although the war continued, it did not affect the preference of those travelers and merchants for the service industry like Auritus.
In this way, organized prostitution services were carried out on Qitian Star more or less covertly, and became one of the main incomes of officials and military leaders, of course, this income was not included in the official tax items of the Lejin clan, but became a private gray income.
After arriving here, countless government officials and legion commanders were surprised to find that the harvest here was several times greater than that of the rich galaxy, and naturally tacitly acquiesced to such a situation.
On the planet, although the untouchables make up ninety percent of the planet, they have no status, not even as good as the slaves of the wealthy, so riots and revolts have been repeated for countless years. ,
Another reason is that the poor are unable to send a message to the LG hierarchy that they want to improve their lives and fortunes. In other words, their personal freedom and thoughts can only be confined to this planet, and cannot be transmitted at all. Information control pervades the corners of this marginal galaxy, and the exchange of information with the outside world will always be the power of those at the top.
In this case, they can only fight with violence. But unfortunately, Liliang is never proportional. Countless groups of Qitianxing people, after gathering a large number of manpower and weapons, have made seemingly thoughtful jihua many times, wanting to attack the government and the army.
They attempted to gain control of the galaxy in order to gain the power to send messages to the Lejin higher-ups, but they were unable to compete with the powerful garrison.
Even the Kaitian hero who had successfully advanced to the SSS rank, Du Kai, who was called the clown by the Lejin officials and garrison troops, was killed by the garrison commander of the Qitian Star after leading a loose group of angry paups to attack the City Lord's Mansion.
After that, the people of the desperate Apocalypse no longer dared to make trouble, because they were only a vulnerable group, and they were powerless to resist the system's officials and military.
The balance of power determines dominance, and the result is the same, whether it is between life groups or in any level of orderly matter and energy body duel.
Therefore, the arrival of this star lord is just another powerful figure on top of the people.
However, Nottarrod had a wish in his heart, that is, to risk his life, and he also wanted to find an opportunity to tell the Star Lord the wishes of the people on this planet.
Although he would probably be killed afterwards, he thought it was worth it.
My ancestors have lived on this planet for generations, and countless years have passed, always living in the gap between life and death.
The reason is that in order to be able to leave office with a full cup of money, the current army commander and political officer have exploited the people on this planet again and again, and they are also perfunctory in the battle against foreign races, and they will never take it seriously.
Strange to say, the military situation of several other racial galaxies is basically the same as that of the Qitian Galaxy. These neighboring galaxies are all extremely impoverished places, but every political officer and legion commander can more or less make a lot of military achievements or achieve certain political achievements after the war.
This puzzled Nottarod, who was only over 200 years old, when he was young, but as he grew older, he had now reached the stage of youth, and he understood everything.
Raising bandits is self-respecting, raising bandits is self-fattening, and the poor will not let you be fed, but they will not let you starve to death. In this way, the successive administrative officers and regiment commanders can obtain sufficient political achievements and military merits at critical moments.
The prostitution industry can be profitable, and only some women are consumed, but they can be exchanged for huge profits. How can such a thing let the above know that this is a treasure land for countless officials and military personnel to make a fortune.
Even in the upper echelons of the Lejin clan, there were many people who had tasted the sweetness, so the matter would not reach the ears of the lord of Utnad at all.
Lords with more than a thousand galaxies will not pay real attention to this galaxy unless it is truly occupied by foreign races, and usually do not care about the lives of the people of a certain galaxy at all. These matters are naturally handled by the ministers of state below the lord's mansion, how can the star lord be personally involved?
In fact, the annual tax paid by Qitianxing to the upper echelons of the Lejin clan is far less than the poverty alleviation funds issued by the upper echelons of the Lejin clan. Ninety percent of those poverty alleviation funds have fallen into the hands of the government and military at the first level, and the vast majority of the remaining little money has to be handed over to local officials, large and small, and Zuihou can reach untouchables like Notalod only by numbers, but without any improvement in life.
This reality, which made Notarod feel very angry, was the direct cause of his statement to the new Star Master.
He had to gamble once, and it didn't matter whether the star lord was righteous or evil. The strength of a star lord is definitely not comparable to that of an ordinary army commander or political officer, and he must control the entire galaxy until he dies.
In any case, if this star lord knew that the people under his rule had been so badly oppressed by the officials over the years, even if it was just for his own face, he would have made moderate improvements.
The so-called good deeds of pro-people will at least make the lives of the poor much easier, and if such a goal can be achieved, Nota feels that even if he dies, he will have no regrets
Therefore, Notarod had already made a decision when he learned that he would be the representative of the untouchables and could get very close to the great star lord who was coming. ,
"Nota quickly rushed to the center of the square, and the great Star Lord was about to lead the fleet to land."
Just as Nottarod thought of this, the intraplanetary communicator around his waist suddenly sounded. This was the communicator sent to him by the Administrator Cooper for this welcoming event.
"Yes, Lord Stranger"
Taking a deep breath, Notarod's face looked nervous.
Although he is not afraid of death, it is unrealistic to meet a big man, a star lord canonized by the lord of an entire race, if he is not nervous at all.
"You are the first in the twelfth row, and when you meet the Star Lord, you only need to prostrate, and if the Star Lord asks questions, you must not talk nonsense...... You understand," the official's cold voice came over the communicator.
"Yes, my lord, I understand"
After saying yes, the communication was shut down, and a hint of anger ran through Notarod's heart.
The nervousness on his face disappeared in an instant because of the anger in his heart. He immediately trotted all the way to the center of the square.
Notarod, who had a B-level rank, quickly ran to the core of the team of hundreds of people hundreds of meters ahead.
Twelve rows, the front row are the government officials and the army commander, followed by the government officers and officers of the main city, the patriarchs of each family and the city lords of the cities of the planet, and now the rich merchants and representatives of all walks of life.
There are twelve levels, and there are naturally only two government officers and legion commanders who are at the top of the number. And after them, each row ranged from more than a dozen people to hundreds of people. But at the Notarod level, there were only eight people.
In other words, there are only more people representing civilians than the first-level political officers and army commanders, so it is conceivable that the high-level leaders of Qitian Star have also spent a lot of thought on the selection of candidates this time.
"If that star lord wasn't a bastard, at least he could reduce our taxes a bit. I don't ask him to punish these corrupt officials, but at least he can get us out of the painful situation of not being born and dying, then he can be regarded as a wise master. ”
Notarod's face remained calm, but his hands were clenched tightly, his palms already sweating.
He only had one chance, and he just hoped that he wouldn't be killed until he told the truth.
The sun was shining, and there was not the slightest cloud in the sky.
Above the sky, there were more than a dozen warships in the distance that looked a little old, but they were the latest warships in the Qitian Galaxy, slowly leading Leng Feng's fleet to land in the main city of Weston.
"The Rock Clan Ship of Lord Tianna Star Lord is so big, it is three times larger than the Rock Clan of Lord Kuoheji that I saw when I was a child in the Imperial Capital River System." Administrator Cooper stood at the front of the welcoming procession, and immediately exclaimed as he looked up to see Leng Feng's spaceship.
"Master Cooper, it's a good thing we got ready. Otherwise, the Star Lord will definitely be very angry when he sees that you haven't even cleaned up the main city. ”
The Legion Commander was surprised, but he didn't show it like Cooper.
A star lord, especially the lord's cousin, has been missing for tens of millions of years before returning to the clan, since he has not died for so long and can still come back, there must be some strange encounters, even if he has incomparably huge wealth, it is naturally normal.
The term of the administrative officer is 1,000 years, and this year Cooper has completed his term and will leave office at the end of the year.
The Silent Legion is automatically under his command because of the arrival of the Star Lord, so he will serve in this system for the rest of his life unless ordered by the Lord.
Therefore, although there is no expression on the surface, there is some joy in his heart.
Whether it was the Rock Clan's spaceship that had landed on the ground for thousands of meters, or the hundreds of pitch-black and brand-new spaceships, it was dark and clear to Dark Mo that this master must be an extremely wealthy noble child.
The Rock Clan Ship represented the strength of the Cold Front, and the battleships behind it were all models he had never seen before.
Although he didn't take a closer look, the energy shield that was retracted, the speed when he landed, and the state when he stopped running, all made him feel that the technological content of those battleships was definitely much stronger than the ordinary battleships of the Lejin clan.
Therefore, the cost is absolutely high, the number of private fleets is not absolute, it depends on the scientific and technological content, the scientific and technological content represents the combat effectiveness and defense, and the defense of these warships is at least one level higher than the warships of the Lejin clan, which he can be completely sure of.
The hatch of the rock spaceship slowly opened, and Leng Feng slowly walked down, accompanied by Naimo and Ya'an.
And Xue Wenhai immediately led the thirty soldiers of the law enforcement regiment who had just been promoted to the * rank, wearing protective clothing and quickly following behind Leng Feng.
The soldiers of the other law enforcement regiments, commanded by several officers, totaling seven thousand, immediately lined up from the battleship according to the predetermined steps.
As Leng Feng stepped off the battleship, he immediately saw two leaders standing respectfully in front of the crowd a hundred meters away.
"These are these two cowards who manage this galaxy?"
After seeing the political affairs officer Cooper and Na Murphy, Leng Feng's heart immediately rose with anger.
