Chapter 188: Darkness
In the starry sky, there are many 'light bodies' traveling at high speed, they do not emit light themselves, they are the illusion of the light of the stars sprinkled on their reflective armor.
They were the remnants of the defeated army who had fled from the battlefield, the survivors of the Fourth Fleet, some of them deserters, and some of them were refugees who had managed to escape from civilian ships.
After the destruction of all mothership classes, these ships are currently on the run.
These ships use pulse engines, so they can accelerate to extremely high speeds, and can throw Hogu out of the chemical engine stage a few streets, so Hogu has no choice but to pursue them.
But this does not mean that the aliens' escape journey will be smooth......
"What do we do now? The stakes are high. β
"Some of the warships were taken over by refugees."
"This kind of behavior of theirs has seriously touched the sacred and unshakable laws of the empire."
"That's right, even if they return to their home planet, it's a capital offense that will be tried immediately when they get off the ship."
β¦β¦
In the military channel, those warships controlled by the military are conducting encrypted communication meetings with each other, and the core of this meeting is the refugees who expelled the generals from the warships and usurped the control of the warships.
The conversations in the channel are very intense, but without exception, they all express one meaning - to convict those troublemakers.
The channel meeting was noisy for a while, and finally, a figure with enough weight in the fleet spoke.
ββ¦β¦ You know, I don't like to beat around the bush, it doesn't make sense, you can do what you have to do, there's no need to explain too much, it's just a waste of time. β
With that, the captain made his final speech on the meeting.
"The Roarer-class battleship Leon, agrees with this trial verdict for rebellion."
"Raid-class destroyer USS Flyover, reconsideration."
β¦β¦
"Silverwing-class frigate 021 detachment, reconsideration."
"Hunter-class cruiser Artemis, reconsideration."
One warship after another agreed to this resolution, and after agreeing on the time of the battle, the staff officers of each ship began to draw up a plan for adjudication against those who rebelled.
There was nothing to do with the captains after that, their meeting was over, and the communication channel was the home of the staff officers at this time.
However, at this time, a discordant voice joined the channel.
"Gentlemen, you seem to have a good time."
"Sir Marven? So you're still alive! β
The captains immediately recognized the identity of the person who had joined the channel.
"Yes, I'm alive, lucky, but also bad, because a dark farce is about to play out before my eyes, and I'm very disturbed."
The captains could see what Marven was referring to.
ββ¦β¦β
"We're just dealing with rebellion according to the laws of the Empire, that's all......"
"That's right, we're here to deal with rebellion."
Some of the captains chose to be silent, some chose to defend themselves, and Marven coldly retorted.
"Oh, is that so? Lying is not what a gentleman should be. β
At this time, the captain of the battleship Leon spoke.
"Sir Marven, with your ingenuity, you should understand the problem we are currently facing, the noble cannot live, you can choose to kill yourself, but you cannot ask anyone else to die with you."
"We are the captains of the ship, and we are responsible for the lives of our own crews."
"Besides, we have given them the right to choose, but they themselves do not know how to cherish it."
Captain Leon's remarks, Marven scoffed.
"If you want to do bad things, just say do bad things, isn't that what you meant before? Why have you changed your tune now? β
"Choice? Don't laugh, even if they know how to cherish it, the result will still be the same, won't it? β
The face of the captain of the Leon darkened, as did the captains of the other warships.
"Are you going to be on the opposite side of us, then?"
As he said this, the guns of the battleship, still at the disposal of the former soldiers of the Empire, turned to aim at one of the ships in the fugitive fleetβenough to communicate enough for these well-trained war machines to search for and locate Marven's ship.
"How so? I'm just here to ask, can I join? β
The captains were slightly stunned, and their minds hadn't turned for a while.
"You said you wanted to join?"
"Reason."
The captain of the Leon asked directly, and Marven didn't talk nonsense.
"I'm also a captain now, is that enough?"
Captain Leon did not immediately answer Marven's inquiry, but closed his eyes in the captain's seat and fell silent.
However, Marven's follow-up additions immediately moved the captain of the Leon, and there were too many meanings in that sentence.
"You don't really think my brother is a fool, do you?"
ββ¦β¦ Well, I'm in favor of you joining, and I'm sure so are the others. β
After weighing the pros and cons, the captain of the Leon agreed to Marven's joining, and the latter sentence was to block the idiots in the fleet who did not know Marven's other identity.
Ending the conversation, Marven sighed faintly and left the bridge.
"Marven, you seem to have something on your mind."
On the way back to her room, Marven is stopped by someone who knows her.
"Are you...... Naf. Rason. β
"You're still alive!?"
Marven's eyes widened, and according to the information she had received, the Nav she knew had died near the door of the library in the vault.
"This ...... There are many reasons, more tortuous, and in a word, good luck. β
Nav scratched his head and asked with concern.
"But you, are you sick? Your face is so ugly, do you need my help to help you get back to your room? β
"No need."
Marven shook his head slightly.
"I'm thinking about the battle ahead."
"Oh, I know this, I heard you talk about it on the channel, some ships are being taken over by lawless mobs, and as part of the Empire, we need to do our part for the Empire."
Naf patted his chest and smiled confidently.
"Don't worry, I'm the first in the battleship command major in the military academy, and I will never let this battleship be hurt by a group of enemies who don't even meet the professional knowledge standards."
As one of the top topic figures in the military academy, he didn't dare to say anything else, but the bridge was definitely his territory, even if he was an active captain, he was better than him in the simulated battle of the military academy.
Marven, however, smiled bitterly and pursed her lower lip, burying her eyes in the shadow of her hair.
"Wrong, not an 'enemy'."
"Uh......"
Nav was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but be curious.
"Not an enemy, what is it?"
"Yes......"
"Food."
Marven turned away, leaving Naf, whose mouth was slightly open and who had been unable to return to his senses for a long time, was in place.
