The red-haired beautiful captain covered his mouth and smiled: "Don't listen to this fat pig's nonsense, my Captain Red Fox is very talkative, as long as you obey the rules when you get on the boat." ”

Of the dozen or so people present, only the guy who looked like a successful person responded with a smile, and the rest were silent. After all, they are all old rivers and lakes, and they know that the more beautiful the woman, the more dangerous it is, especially this kind of woman who dares to run to pick up private work, and you must not be provoked casually, otherwise people will kick you directly off the boat in the middle of the road, and you will have no place to cry, so everyone present did not appear to be a sperm worm with a brain to make any bloody moves.

The red fox didn't care about everyone's indifferent attitude, and turned around and twisted his hips to lead the way to the tarmac with a hello.

Everyone arrived at the tarmac with large bags and small bags, where a dilapidated cargo ship was already waiting, and several robot crew members were putting the finishing touches on the ship.

Red Fox took everyone to the spaceship to arrange a room for everyone, and reminded everyone again that if you want to leave the room after the spaceship takes off, you must apply to her captain, if anyone leaves the room without permission is equivalent to jumping out of the car halfway, then she will be happy to throw you into space.

The heart demon was the last to be assigned to the room because of the farthest distance, and the red fox said meaningfully before leaving: "Although it is not in accordance with the rules, I still want to remind you that every year, there are a few guys who are not afraid of death to try their luck on Zhiyuanxing, but none of them can come back alive." ”

Although the heart demon was sullen, the image he was playing now was that of an old mercenary who was about to see through the red dust, so he said calmly: "Thank you Captain Red Fox for the reminder, I understand where I'm going." Hope to be able to take your downwind boat again on the way back. ”

Red Fox smiled and said, "If you can really come back alive, I don't mind giving you a nine-percent discount." ”

"Okay, that's a deal." The demon pulled out a stiff smile and closed the door.

The red fox stared at the closed door with a disdainful sneer, and twisted his waist to the cab.

Ten minutes later, the spacecraft completed its final inspection, slowly started and took off towards the vast starry sky.

***

Zhiyuan, an important strategic planet discovered by humans during human exploration of outer space during the pre-Galactic Empire. Because there is a special mineral on the planet, which is the raw metal titanium alloy of A-class titanium alloy, the main material for human beings to make space battleship armor at that time, Zhiyuan Star immediately became the production base of large warships at that time after it was discovered.

However, with the outbreak of the war between the Terrans and the Star Alliance, the strategic location of Zhiyuan Star became the location of the Terran Space Command at that time.

Speaking of Star Alliance, we can't fail to mention the pre-galactic empire era of the human race, when human beings were still in the second-level cosmic civilization of long-distance exploration in space. However, because there was no unified regime within the Terran race, there were many countries and many forces, but because the universe was too vast enough to transfer the contradictions and conflicts between countries, the Terran civilization at that time did not break out to destroy its own civil war.

The discovery of Zhiyuan Star was both an opportunity and a turning point, when mankind had discovered many relics of ancient alien civilizations in space exploration, but there was no real third-type contact until the emergence of the Star Alliance.

The Covenant is actually a religious empire composed of many different alien peoples with strong religious worship, their political system is a theocratic class dictatorship, governed by a hierarchical system connecting various classes, and the High Council is the highest ruling class elite, and its sphere of influence spans most of the Orion's spiral arm region on the outer side of the galaxy.

In addition, the cosmic civilization level of the Star Alliance has reached the third level, and it has cross-galaxy shuttle technology that surpasses the technology of the Terran at that time, but the development of civilization is restricted due to its own religious reasons. And the appearance of the Terrans just caters to the catalyst of civilization that many Covenant ruling classes have been desperately looking for at that time - war!

Like many science fictions, the first contact between the Terrans and the Star Alliance directly greeted each other's families with cannons, and then kicked off the interstellar war between the two sides that had been in full swing for nearly a hundred years.

Because the human race was still in the second-level cosmic civilization at that time, it was pressed and beaten by the Star Alliance at the beginning of the war, resulting in the defeat of the war one after another, and even Zhiyuan, as the space command, fell into ruins several times.

However, the victory of the war did not bring civilization catalyst to the Star Alliance, but sounded the death knell for them.

As mentioned earlier, the Star Alliance is a multi-racial united religious empire, and the ruling class itself has adopted a theocratic class dictatorship, so there are many contradictions between various races due to religion, customs, civilization, race, power and many other reasons. The reason why there was no civil strife before was because the elite ruling class had absolute military power to suppress it, but when the war between the Star Alliance and the Terrans reached a fever pitch and had to over-mobilize military forces, resulting in an emptiness in the rear, all kinds of contradictions immediately appeared.

The most obvious situation is that racial contradictions and religious conflicts have caused chaos within the Star Alliance, so that later there is no time to continue fighting the Terrans, and they have to give up the great fighters and withdraw troops from the front line to suppress the rebellion.

But the Covenant elite ruling class has apparently forgotten that war is both a catalyst for their civilization and for others.

The situation of the Terrans and the Star Alliance, who have been given a chance to breathe, is the opposite, because of this war, the Terrans who were originally many countries have to be closely united, so that the great unification is possible.

In addition, the birth of the Dragon Emperor, the protagonist of the era at that time, added a bit of legend to the magnificent history of the human race.

Like many online cool text routines, that Dragon Emperor is like a template for the protagonist of Long Aotian, at first he was just an ordinary middle-class civilian, maybe he lived a mediocre life without being remembered by history, but because of the war between the Terran and the Star Alliance, he was characterized as enlisted in the army, and a small soldier like him is basically cannon fodder, but because of various adventures, he has created legendary events that will amaze future generations.

Although many of these legendary accidents were obviously made up by later generations, the Dragon Emperor became the first emperor of the Galactic Empire step by step from a commoner, and led the Terrans to defeat the Star Alliance and dominate the entire galaxy, which is itself a legendary story praised by later generations.

And in that legendary story, the Dragon Emperor also has two right-hand brothers in life and death, who are the current ancestor of the Zhao family, Zhao Ritian, and the ancestor of the Ye family, Ye Liangchen, who has been submerged in the long river of history.

And the legendary experience between the three has been praised from generation to generation, and I don't know how many film and television dramas have been remade and rewritten into inspirational. So much so that the original face of history has long been forgotten, and only Murong Feng, who read the diary of the ancestor of the Zhao family when he was a child, knew what kind of bloody drama it was......

Although the Star Covenant that provoked the war was defeated by the Terrans for its own reasons, resulting in the loss of cities and even the almost extinction of civilization, the civilization heritage of hundreds of thousands of years cannot be underestimated, even if the current Terrans have already consolidated their hegemony in the galaxy, but the Star Alliance has always been like a hungry wolf hiding in the shadows licking his wounds, always looking for an opportunity to bite back.

And the temple founded by the Dragon Emperor himself and has survived to the present day is like a hanging sword, keeping an eye on the hungry wolf of the Star Alliance to prevent him from coming back.

This is also the reason why, although the current Terran civilization has split into a chaotic state of coexistence of many countries, it has never dared to go beyond the thunder pool by half a step.

At the same time, it is also why the current galactic nations are very unhappy with the temple above them, but no one dares to openly jump out and challenge the majesty of the temple.

Or that the forces or nations that pose a potential threat to the Templars have been weakened by the Templars, such as the Great War that divided the Confederacy half a century ago, and perhaps the Templars played a role behind it. After all, the growing Interstellar Federation at that time did threaten the transcendent status of the Temple, and no one expected the Quan family to suddenly declare secession and independence without warning. If the Templars hadn't been behind the scenes, no one would have believed them, which is why the Federation's attitude towards the Templars had taken a turn for the worse after the end of the Great War, and although it had not yet reached a hostile attitude, it would no longer obey any orders from the Templars.

The Demon of the Heart logged into the dark web in the spaceship's guest room to look at the latest information about Zhiyuanxing, and found that the Federation had almost cut off trade with Zhiyuanxing in recent decades, and only the Iron Fist Empire still maintained a trade relationship with Zhiyuanxing. Therefore, if the citizens of the Federation want to go to Zhiyuan, they will be subjected to all kinds of rude interrogations just like entering the enemy country.

This is also why the heart demon did not go directly to Zhiyuanxing, but first went around in a big circle and ran to the Water Snake Galaxy to smuggle Zhiyuanxing through the black market and waterway. After all, the actual distance of the Reach Star is less than 11 light-years from the Earth, while the Black Market Star is more than 740 light-years away from the Earth.

However, the universe itself is a multi-dimensional space, and there are many natural wormholes that can shorten the distance between two galaxies, so it cannot be measured simply by time span.

For example, it took three days for the heart demon to fly from the earth to the Black Market Star by boat, but it only took two days to smuggle from the Black Market Star to Zhiyuan Star by boat, which was hundreds of times farther.

The dozen or so people who had been on the ship with the heart demon had disembarked and left one after another in the interior of the country in the past two days, and only the mercenary team and the well-dressed successful man stayed on the ship until the end.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Zhiyuan Star has arrived, and you can now see the destination of our trip through the porthole of your room." As soon as the cargo hold finished the jump, the red fox's coquettish laughter sounded on the radio: "However, our spacecraft cannot land on Zhiyuan, and can only be connected and logged in on the dock of the outer spaceport, so please pack up your personal belongings and prepare to enter the port and disembark within half an hour, and finally wish a few guests a happy journey." ”

The demon turned around and pushed open the visor in front of the porthole, and saw a huge planet floating quietly in space, with two large and small moons next to it.

As the interstellar cargo ship slowly slows down and turns, a near-Earth airport orbiting the planet comes into view.

This airport is like a jade belt around the entire Zhiyuan star, in which there is a gyroscope-shaped connecting airport every 1,000 kilometers, and outside the port is a long queue of spaceships waiting to enter the port.

Red Fox turned on the authentication signal, and then lined up behind a long line of spaceships according to the guidance of the airport command tower. Then there was a long wait.

The demon packed up his personal belongings, opened his personal terminal, entered an encrypted signal password, and dialed out. After a while, the call was connected and said directly: "I've arrived at Zhiyuanxing, do you have any latest information over there?" ”

Murong Feng, who was on the other end of the communication, seemed to be holding a meeting at the headquarters of the Burning Legion, and after receiving a call from the demon, he asked his grandfather to preside over the military meeting, and she came to the inner room to say; "There's no new information yet, but federal agents are already one step ahead of you. I'll send you the agent's information, and you can follow him to Domsack. ”

The demon shook his head and said, "No, I like to act alone." ”

"Okay, whatever you want." Murong Feng knew the strength of the heart demon best, so he nodded and reminded: "The temple is very strict with the inspection of transit personnel, you must not show your feet, especially do not carry some sensitive items." ”

The sensitive items in Murong Feng's mouth did not refer to those standard weapons and equipment on the bad streets, but any new scientific and technological products or books in the past ten years. This is a death rule set by the temple, and no one can break it. Obviously, this is a technological blockade policy, just like what the Star Covenant did to humanity back then, and the Temple is just to treat people the way they do.

The heart demon shrugged his shoulders and said, "You know, I know, don't tremble much." ”

"Just remember." Murong Feng snorted and hung up the communication, then returned to the conference room to continue the meeting: "Have you discussed the result?" ”

Grandpa lit up the virtual projection of Tiantai Continent painted with various graphics, and said, "Xiaofeng, we just discussed it, and we feel that this battle can't be led by the nose by the Underworld Legion, otherwise it will be a fiasco like the Xiuzhen Alliance, so we are ready to take them by surprise!" ”

"Oh? What's the surprise? Murong Feng said in surprise.

Grandpa immediately got up to zoom in on the entire virtual projection, and then explained the step-by-step battle plan in detail, and a group of veterans also gathered around to discuss possible loopholes or deficiencies in the battle plan.

All of you here are veterans who have been on the battlefield, so when it comes to commanding a war and drawing up a battle plan, Murong Feng only has an open mind to learn.

Soon, a detailed diagram of the battle situation was placed in front of Murong Feng, and Murong Feng finally combined his understanding of those demons in the underworld and couldn't find any flaws in them, so he nodded and said: "Just implement it according to this battle plan, and inform the logistics and quartermaster department that work can start, I just received the news that the second expedition of the Xiuzhen Alliance has been prepared, and this war may start in advance." ”

All the veterans returned to their positions one after another, and Chief of Staff Li Menghu asked directly: "Then who will be the front-line commander of this operation?" ”

All the generals here immediately pricked up their ears!
