——TR.81.4.22——

Emma Field, Systems Sara, Chau Sara, Settlement 66.

On the side of the new bar counter, a large screen hanging on the wall is playing the news of Tylen Federal Radio, and the beautiful host is chatting to a few blurred photos.

"After two months of heroic fighting by the Federation soldiers, a 'Carnival' campaign jointly launched by the rebels of Mimatar and Gadari has been declared a failure. 】”

"In this battle of unprecedented proportions, the 'Howi Fortress', which had been defending itself against Mimatar rebels for a year since the beginning of the rebellion, unfortunately fell, and only some of the logisticians survived by transporting supplies. 】”

"According to the news from the survivors, the Mimatar rebels were frenzied after a long period of attack, and used the 'Apocalypse' class strategic nuclear bomb to bombard the Howe Fortress repeatedly, and after breaking through the defenses, they took the same means of attack on the next three galaxies, which is simply appalling. 】”

"The valiant Federation fleet turned their grief and anger into strength, stopping the Mimatar rebels from the next stargate before they could continue to advance, and after a bloody battle, finally drove them back to their original control area, and preparations for the rebuilding of the New Howay Fortress were already on the agenda. 】”

"[Next, please see the interview of the front-line officer of the 321st Regiment who witnessed this battle——]"

Smack, Renault behind the bar raised his hand and turned off the screen with the remote control.

"Hey! Jim! I arrive at an interesting place! Tykes, who was sitting in his chair, exclaimed dissatisfiedly, "There aren't many opportunities to see that old stubborn liar. ”

"That's cut, there's no way there's a goofhole you want to see," Renault pushed over as he poured a dark drink for Tykes.

"Uh-huh, think about it," Tykes took a sip from his cup, "Hey! What the hell is this, it tastes like a cup of piping hot mud! ”

"Locally produced beer, there is only one flavor." Renault stopped his request for a "change of glass" in advance.

"Ha, that's great, Sludge Beer." Tykes gulped down his beer.

"To be precise, it's Joe' beer, just like Proxima Centauri's beers are called 'Mar' beers." With the wind chimes on the door gently clanged, Angela walked in.

"Hey, Angela~" Tykes raised his hand and greeted: "Also remove the power armor and put on civilian clothes, Jim and I look like dockers, and you still look like angels~"

"Please don't take me with you," Renault continued wiping the bar and cups.

"There's someone from the Federation, it looks like a gendarme," Angela looked inside the bar, "Are you going to hide?" ”

"Unless we are surrounded by five hundred men or the battleship fires its main guns without saying a word, we don't have to hide at all." Renault shook his head.

"That's right! Kill as many as you want! Tykes chimed in.

"......" Angela looked left and right at the two of them, making sure they weren't talking the same thing.

Joe Sara and Mar Sara are agricultural systems located on the border of Emma's Domain, and where Renault escaped with the survivors of Fortress Howe.

This galaxy is very special compared to other galaxies, firstly, it does not have a "Gaia planet", secondly, the only two planets in the galaxy are in the same orbit, and thirdly, the two planets have a vertical axis of rotation.

This directly led to the fact that the climate of the two planets was very evenly distributed and basically the same latitude, and eventually became two agricultural planets dedicated to food production, and because of its lack of military value, the Tyranid Federation did not garrison here at all, and the largest armed force on the two planets was the sheriff of the settlement, and Renault's "Heavenly Demon" could walk sideways here.

However, Lieutenant Colonel Javier did not stay, although this loyal officer of the Federation used his authority to bring Renault and them out of danger, but he was not willing to leave the Federation, and it happened that Renault's deliberately arranged back hand before leaving the fortress gave him a reason to return, so he said goodbye to Renault and others, and returned to the Union Army with his direct troops.

Although the rest of the special forces did not want to rejoin the Federation, they also did not plan to join the "Heavenly Demon" that was bound to be on the cusp, so they stayed for a while and then left, probably becoming free mercenaries, pirates...... They have been fighting for so many years, and it is impossible for them to be bored.

The only odd thing is Angela, who and her fellow medics choose to join the "Heavenly Devil" without much hesitation, causing Tykes to boast about his charismatic charm from time to time.

Renault privately speculated that it might be that the medics were moved by his tactics of not giving up any of the soldiers who could be saved, or that they were completely disappointed in the Federation of giving up their own people, but there was no need to get to the bottom of it.

Jingle bells! Ding-bang!

The door to the bar was violently pushed open, and five or six federal gendarmes, dressed in heavy cyan power armor and neatly draped, almost armed to the teeth, walked in, aiming their explosive rifles at Renault behind the counter, and making a muffled voice for the speaker on the leader's helmet:

"[James Reynolds, you have been arrested for treason!] 】”

"Hey! Do you want to fight? Tykes threw away his coffee and stood up ignoring the heavy armor, braking his hands as if he wanted to tear them apart.

[If you resist arrest, you can be killed on the spot.] The man at the front who appeared to be the captain of the gendarmerie glanced at Tykes, and the other gendarmes immediately raised their guns and aimed at him.

"Jim, what do you say?" Tykes bowed slightly and asked Renault, as if if he would pounce on him if he decided to fight, ignoring the difference between flesh and steel.

"I ask to see the arrest warrant." Renault waved his hand and said unhurriedly.

"[Heh,]" the captain of the gendarmerie raised his hand and pressed his helmet, projecting an action order in the air: "[We have been ordered to arrest the commander of the 'Heavenly Demon' who provided Mimatar with internal support and escaped from the battle, James Reynolds, if you want to hire a lawyer, you must also follow us back to Tasanis first.] 】”

"Well, the warrant looks real," Renault glanced up at him, "But what does James Renault, the commander of the 'Heavenly Demon', have to do with me, Jim Renault?" ”

"[You still want to quibble—]"

"Sir!" Renault interrupted him: "You were ordered to arrest someone, you must have carried an identification module, right?" Scan it for me to try? Anyway, it doesn't take much effort. ”

......The gendarmerie captain seemed to notice something, and tapped his helmet to scan Renault.

[Jim Reno, a native of Joe Sarah, Sheriff of Settlement 66, no Stargate records, criminal record: 0.] 】”

"Look," Renault said, "You're going to arrest Renault, the commander of the 'Heavenly Demon', what is the matter with my Joe Sarah's Sheriff Renault?" ”

"[You ......]" the gendarmerie captain had a hellish look on his face behind his helmet.

It seems that Nova's family is really planning to tear their faces.

"Man, what do you call it?" Renault walked around the counter and patted him on the shoulder.

Matt Horner. The captain of the gendarmerie was in a state of confusion and replied subconsciously.

"Okay, Matt, I'm sure you're a very righteous person, so I came straight after hearing that the culprit who caused the fall of Fort Howe was going to be arrested," Renault shook his head: "But obviously, someone has taken advantage of your 'sense of justice', if I am really a prisoner who caused great damage to the Federation, how could someone modify the file for me after you received the order?" As a gendarme, you should know what level of person this can do and what this kind of behavior means, right? ”

"[But the order ......]" Matt looked very confused.

"Obviously, your order is outdated, and the prisoner you want to capture has left Joe Sarah." Renault handed over a step.

"[Hmm......]" Matt opened the mask, revealing a resolute and simple face with black hair and black eyes, "Thank you for your cooperation, I will go to find the 'real prisoner'." ”

It seems that he has understood, the person he sent, and the forces behind that person, are the black hands that really destroyed the Howe Fortress, I hope he won't act directly on impulse.

"Welcome back next time." Renault waved to the gendarmes who turned away.

In addition to the literal meaning, this sentence also has the meaning of "if you can't get along because of this, you can come to me".

Matt apparently understood, and his steps paused, and without response, he pushed the door open and left the tavern.

"Hmph, that's a pity." Tykis threw the chainsaw gun he had hidden behind his back onto the table.

"The Federation has noticed you, what's next?" Angela looked at Renault.

"Stay in Masala for the time being," Renault returned to the back of the bar, "If nothing else, the Federation will soon run out of time to pay attention to me as a little person." ”
