Chapter Seventy-Three: Preparing for War

Gibraltar Ξ² a place of chicken feathers in Starport has finally been properly resolved. Two hours later, Yu Lian and Yang Xiyi arrived at the Hyperion, the flagship of the Outer Ring Fleet, to report to Admiral Perris.

The reason why it went so smoothly was naturally because Major Horn was very cooperative, as if he had made up his mind to change his mind and be a good person.

It stands to reason that the crime of espionage is a felony everywhere, and according to the laws of the community, spies who are caught are basically a dead end. But the premise is that Major Horn is an ordinary person.

"He's a psyker after all. You know, according to the Law on the Protection of the Awakened, the death penalty is not imposed as long as you don't die on the spot, or commit an anti-civilization crime enacted by the Galactic Civilization Council. You can even make some contributions through your extraordinary strength and apply for a commutation of your sentence, and you can be released from prison in a few years. When the time comes, I will find a private company to work, and I may earn more than you and me. Heh~~ No way, the empire has the heraldic academy and the astral knights, the alliance has the transcendent administration and the guerrilla association, and there are always powerful institutions that can adjudicate transcendent crimes...... But we don't, so we have to abide by international conventions. ”

"However, also according to international conventions, if he does not surrender, I can wage a duel of honor against him, and even if he is killed on the spot, it is legally justified. After all, he was the first to do it, right? Yu Lian asked.

"That's why." Yang Xiyi's face was full of admiration: "...... The Psyker is truly the darling of the Universe Spirit! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I think you're sarcastic, but there's no evidence! Yu Lian shrugged.

According to his confession, he has been a sensitive person for a long time, but he has never been able to confirm it, let alone have no way to awaken. Until the time of the public travel of the paradise city......"

"Wait, why do soldiers organize groups to travel to the city? Isn't that place full of casinos and green houses? ”

"How can I explain the matter of the local army clearly." Yang Xiyi said confidently: "In short, that guy met the messenger of the Kaitai people when he was traveling at public expense in the Paradise City, and, according to his own words...... A representative of a great nobleman on the other side of the Empire. They helped Major Horn awaken his psionic energy and open the 'Soul Possession' Astrolabe. ”

"Supporting the spirit" and "purity" belong to yin and yang, and the first ring is "believers". The latter focuses on healing and purification, while Major Horn's "Spiritual Supporter", which focuses on the spiritual realm, focuses on concentration, perception, and reinforcement, and in the later stages has the potential to develop into a powerful prayer and sΓ©ance.

Illusion is not its best field. But even if you don't specialize, it's the difference between 100 points and 80 points, at least it's much more powerful than Yu Lian's hexagon. Even if Horn is only a link, he can't talk about working hard in the cultivation of psionic energy, but he can still pull the remnants of psionic people of the same level into the illusion.

If it weren't for the fact that Yu Lian had seen too many more exaggerated scenes a long time ago, and had raided the soul realm full of dangers and calamities, I am afraid that the spirit would have been penetrated and died directly into a vegetative state.

He also said now that his illusion labyrinth had been trained by that master from the empire, and that four or five psionics who were idle could be killed by him quietly, and that you must be a psionic agent cultivated by our country or something, otherwise it would be impossible to escape his illusion curse. So, Yu Lian, are you? ”

"Does the community have such an organization of psionic agents?"

"As far as I know, it's not ...... yet" Yang Xiyi sighed and suddenly stopped: "Also, I'm sorry, Yu Lian." ”

"What for?"

"I used you as bait for what I just arranged. Of course, if you're really in danger, I'll act in advance. But if you psionics are hit on a spiritual level, the trauma will be with you for the rest of your life, right? ”

Not really, just find a doctor who can break the cow. However, for most of the "ordinary" psionics who have no way, it is indeed a lifelong damage.

"However, even so, I will not give up on this plan. Laugh at me if you want to laugh at me, Yu Lian, like you said, I'm already a realistic incompetent greasy uncle! ”

Yu Lian looked at the other party with a calm face and said, "If I am not the one in the know, then I am indeed qualified to punch you in the nose now." But didn't you inform me? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"You're about to turn your glass into a top, how sluggish would I be if I couldn't read it? Then, I poured you a full drink and turned it to 360 degrees, and it was you who kept me on my toes. Heh, isn't it a code that was set a few years ago? ”

Yang Xiyi was stunned for a moment, and then showed a relieved smile: "It's growing up fast!" You kid......

"But what do you do if Major Horn doesn't make a move?"

"Then keep staring, there will always be a time when he shows his feet. As for the commander, of course, I have prepared another set of arguments to convince him. With Major Horn as proof, it was just the icing on the cake, and without him, I had other evidence ready. ”

"You...... It's really cunning! ”

"A good staff officer has to have several plans in place. However, it is not easy to get your compliment. ”

"But I will still tell Xiaoxuan, Xiaoyong and Xiaomi that their father has become such an adult!"

"So, I thought today's scene was over!"

"yes, so this is to get revenge for the 20 you won against me last time."

"That's a showdown with star cards! Cards in hand, life in the sky, win or lose, life and death, destiny! I said that I can't retaliate afterwards! ”

"But that doesn't change the fact that you've bought me off for cheating! I'm equivalent to three dozen one, and one of them is disguised as his own! ”

"Who told you to play cards with three men? If you come here, the little girl who learns to give birth won't have such a thing. You don't even count your popularity, do you want to blame me? How can this be called cheating, but it is an upright person who has gained the right way and has more help than the unjust! ”

They exchanged such meaningless nonsense and came to the gate of the bridge.

Yang Xiyi said: "You have also seen that His Excellency the Commander, who was born as a veteran, does not like elite bureaucrats, and even less likes the moon people. So, for a while, if the commander doesn't ask you, you must not speak. ”

Aren't you also an elite bureaucratic plus a moonman?

"I'm different, after all, I've been working with him for a while, and he has a gentle temperament and is harmless to humans and animals."

Yes, at least this guy's persona in the command is like this.

After routine questioning, the two men entered the bridge of the Hyperion under the guidance of an adjutant who claimed to be Captain Green.

The decoration of this heroic ship, which has made great achievements in the past and in the future, is actually very simple and simple, and the atmosphere is rigid and resolute to be reminiscent of a heavy machinery factory, but there is no sense of sacred and solemn ritual of Rauschzi. In addition, Yu Lian really didn't have the heart to look at the decoration here, you know, as soon as they entered the command hall, Admiral Perris's cold gaze swept over.

Yu Lian felt that at this time, even if he was half a beat slower to salute, with wrinkles on his collar, or half a centimeter crooked in his military hat, he would be scolded by this grumpy old man so much that he couldn't lift his head, how could he dare to look around.

Fortunately, his military posture and salute this time were perfect, and the old general should not be able to pick out anything.

Sure enough, the old man glanced at Yu Lian, and when he saw that he couldn't find anything wrong, he snorted coldly and turned his gaze away.

But on the other side, a middle-aged South Asian man with the rank of lieutenant general sprayed directly at Yang Xiyi: "Colonel Yang, what the hell are you doing?" I'm asking you to inspect the 40,000 tons of high-explosive dust we newly purchased, not to let you go to Xinggang! Car chases? Explode? Gunfight? Do you think you're making a movie? Don't you know how much traffic Gibraltar has every day Ξ² the city? I've had enough headaches lately! You sleep on the boat every day because it's comfortable, huh? I don't want to go back to sleep in my two-metre bed with Nord velvet cushions? Isn't it just because reporters are surrounding me every day? It's good now! I can think of how many people are squatting at the door of the doghouse? What the hell are you going to do? Do you want me to swallow a gun and kill myself? ”

Yu Lian guessed that this dark-skinned but chattering Vice Admiral Ah San should be Vice Admiral Shaluk Rapash, the chief of staff of the fleet.

"Well, actually, we're locking off the block." Yang Xiyi said with a smile.

"Blocked a fart!" The lieutenant general said angrily, and then with a wave of his hand, he threw a "light curtain" that appeared out of thin air in front of the two.

Four images appeared on the light curtain, and at first glance they were news images, and they were all scenes from the previous car chase.

Yu Lian recognized that those four were all quite influential media outlets, and one of them even came from the alliance.

"Under the protection of the Outer Ring Fleet, which is known as the most powerful in the country, such a vicious incident has occurred at the entrance of this stargate, this starport transit station that is related to the interests of the whole galaxy. We are justified in asking whether the Outer Ring Fleet is not yet capable of protecting the lawful manners of its citizens, and is it qualified to continue to waste valuable taxpayers' tax dollars? ”

The man who said this was a male journalist wearing a "GNN" logo. He looks thoughtful, dignified, and has a clever tongue, but he must admit that he is also a personable and infectious guy.

"That's all it takes from the alliance, even the people from GNN have found out! Don't you know that these guys are all kraft candy? ”

Yang Xiyi nodded, and saluted again: "Yes, it's all the mistakes of the lower officials!" ”

He put on a mocking look, but the lieutenant general was even more furious: "Okay, good, good, I hope you can give me a reasonable reason!" Otherwise, I'll tie you to the proton torpedo's eye, add another ton of high-explosive dust, and launch it into a black hole together! ”

"Major Horn is a spy for the Cathesians."

"Actually, it's a spy of the Imperials......" Yu Lian wanted to add, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

"Ridiculous words. Major Horn has always been diligent, dedicated, steady and steadfast. Colonel Yang, if you want to accuse him, you have to pay attention to evidence! The lieutenant general sneered.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ He himself has already admitted it. Soon, Colonel Chaimon will send his confession! ”

"Well, I've thought before, that fat man seems to be generous, but he has always been a little scheming. Now it's really exposed! Lieutenant General Rappash said righteously: "Well, does he have some terrible grand conspiracy?" ”

"The chief of staff has seen everything!" Yang Xiyi naturally sent a sycophant and continued: "Just now he has already informed that the fleet gathering of the Kaitai Kingdom in front is not just a exercise. Their 1st and 3rd fleets are ready to paralyze us through maneuvers, and then wait until the royal fleet arrives, and then launch a surprise attack to repel us, and then capture the star port of Gibraltar in one fell swoop! At that time, Major Horn, as the director of logistics, will find a way to shut down the fortress defense system of Starport at the right time to welcome the Marines of the Kaitai people into the port! ”

Admiral Perris, who had not spoken a word since the beginning, finally changed his expression.
