Chapter 1032: The Clash of the Two Camps
Although Shepard had already had a lot of ideas when she came, when she saw the dragon in front of her eyes, she still had a sense of surreality.........
"Ah......... Mortal. β
Looking at the three stunned villains in front of him, Fang Zheng, who had changed back into the form of a time dragon, also chuckled inwardly. He lifted his giant dragon head and stared at Shepard, Liana, and Tali in front of him. And feeling the sight of the dragon in front of them, even Shepard and the others couldn't help but weaken their legs and almost fell to their knees.
Although in the universe, they have also faced enemies like the overlordβββ in terms of size alone, the overlord is not known how many times larger than the time dragon.
However......... Does the overlord have dragon power?
Although this world is a very high-tech world, it is at least technology!
As for something as magical as Long Wei.........
"What did you do when you came to my territory?"
"Hello ............"
After all, Shepard was born in the military, relying on his firm will to be the first to recover from the shock of Fang Zheng's dragon power, and Liana and Tali were obviously not so lucky, they were directly stunned by his dragon power the moment they saw the time dragon, if it wasn't for Fang Zheng to restrain Long Wei, in a surprise situation, these two people might even become crazy directly.
"I'm Shepard, the ghost of the Citadel Council, and we've been ordered by the Citadel Council to investigate the previous conflict."
"Ah......... Those inferior reptiles ........."
Hearing this, Fang Zheng sneered even more.
"Is there anything wrong with them daring to invade my territory and attack my people, then they will have to pay the price?"
"Uh........."
In the face of Fang Zheng's arrogant answer, Shepard didn't know what to say for a while, she coughed lightly, and then reluctantly pulled the topic back.
"But according to the ......... of the Citadel"
"What is the Citadel?"
"Citadel is an alliance of galactic civilizations."
Shepard felt as if the conversation was getting out of her hands, but she replied stiffly. After all, it's not anyone who can see a hundreds of meters long talking to themselves face to face without changing their face and not beating their heart. And to be honest, Shepard now regrets taking on this task a little, she is a commander and a battle-hardened warrior, but she is not a diplomat, nor is she an ambassador.
Shepard has always been able to hide from the twists and turns of politics and diplomacy, and now she confirms that this is a new race...... Then things are very troublesome, and if you say the wrong thing, will it cause any problems? If there is a conflict or even a war, if the black cauldron is held on his head at that time, then Shepard will really be speechless.
If you think about it, those bastards in the Castle didn't mean to see their own jokes.
"Alliance?"
Fang Zheng poked his head out and approached Shepard, stared at by those golden eyes, even Shepard felt a little uncomfortable, and nodded hurriedly.
"Yes, about this conflict......... It was true that the Turks attacked first, but at that time, ........."
Speaking of this, Shepard suddenly got stuck, because she just found out that this thing was ......... Anyway, it's not appropriate!
You must know that from the beginning, whether it was the Turians, the Divine Citadel, or even Anderson and Shepard themselves, they all thought that the mysterious force that is now in the wandering galaxy was likely to be human. And if it's human, then it's an internal human affair, as long as it's coordinated.
But now, Shepard has confirmed that this civilization has nothing to do with human beingsβββ this is not nonsense, where can human beings have such an existence as dragons!!
Then things are in trouble.
As I said before, there is an old grudge between the Turks and humans, and the truce between the two sides has only been a few decades, and most of them have no good feelings for each other. This is also the reason why the previous Turks were so annoyed when they saw Fang Zheng. In the eyes of the Turks, the other party is human, so their presence here is an act of treachery to knowingly tear up the treaty.
That's why the Turks will attack.
But if according to the current situation, the other party has nothing to do with human beings and is a brand new civilization, then the attack of the Turks is an unjustified hostile actβββ at least in the eyes of the other party!
So what can you say?
I'm not a Turk, so there's no need to wipe their butts for them!
"Mortal, I understand what you are here for."
Fang Zheng also took the initiative at this moment, he stared at Shepard and continued.
"However, our Heavenly Dao Palace is not a place where people are bullied at will, all the races here are my people, and any attack on my people is a declaration of war against me and the entire Heavenly Dao Palace! We don't want war, but we don't fear war either, and if those low-level savage reptiles still dare to invade my territory and harm my people, then I will let those low-level reptiles experience true destruction and death! β
Speaking of this, Fang Zheng also snorted lightly, suddenly spread his wings, and raised his head. The terrifying dragon power exploded in an instant, enveloping Shepard and the others.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦οΌβ
Feeling the oncoming terrifying coercion, Shepard couldn't help but grit her teeth and take a step back, and Tali behind her was even more embarrassed, if she hadn't grabbed Shepard's arm, I'm afraid she would have collapsed to the ground.
And it wasn't until the three of them were about to take it anymore that Fang Zheng withdrew the pressure and curled up again.
"You've come from afar to work hard, we'll prepare food and room for you, and we'll help you repair your broken ships, and now you can leave."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
This time, Shepard didn't say anything, just nodded, and then turned away with the other two.
"Hoo ........."
After the three of them left, Fang Zheng returned to his human form and yawned.
"It's a real ........."
"Is that really good? Elder brother? β
Tilia, who was eavesdropping behind at the moment, also walked to Fang Zheng's side with a smile and grabbed his arm.
"Are you sure we don't need any further contact with the Citadel?"
"For now, there's no need for that."
Fang Zheng shook his head at Tilia's inquiry. In fact, when Shepard and the others entered here, he had thought about this issue carefully. However, in the end, Fang Zheng decided to distance himself from the Citadel, and he would not join the Citadel. What kind of force is the Citadel, it is very clear without Shepard saying that it is square, to put it bluntly, the Citadel is actually equivalent to a galactic version of the United Nations.
And there are currently four permanent members, and if Founder joins, it may become the Big Five.
However......... Joining the Citadel Council doesn't do Fang Zheng any good. At least for now, he didn't want the forces of this universe to be too deeply involved with his Heavenly Dao Palace.
But it's not like there's no way for him, at least......... The appearance of Shepard and others gave Fang Zheng an idea.
Unlike the relaxed style of the square, Shepard, who returned to the Normandy, was frowning.
She thinks things too simply!
Shepard is not stupid, nor is she stupid, and although she doesn't like the twists and turns of politics, it doesn't mean that Shepard doesn't understand the implications. The dragon had said before, "All the races here are my people......... Of course, Shepard understood the meaning of this sentence, that is, this time, what he and the others were facing was not a single alien race, but an alliance composed of several races like the Divine Citadel!
This is also why the dragon before listened to her introduction to the Divine Citadel with mockery, at that time she also hoped to use the alliance of the Divine Citadel to suppress the dragon, but she didn't expect that things were more troublesome than she imagined!
Compared to the Citadel, this alliance is even closer, and the Citadel Council is like the United Nations, there is no superiority between them, and there is no question of who is in charge. But this alliance clearly has an absolute, supreme ruler. This means that this is not a matter between the Citadel Council and an alien race, but a conflict between the two factions.
This is beyond the scope of its own handling!
"Joker, can the communication system still work?"
"Of course, commander, but this is inside the opposing ship........."
In response to Shepard's questioning, the Joker showed a look of embarrassment, knowing that he was a little worried about the security of the communication here.
But Shepard doesn't care about this now.
"Contact Anderson now!"
