The next day, according to the original plan, we went to check the armament and training status of the militia.

The militia is not a full-time professional soldier, but closer to the nature of a local famous regiment, and the salaries they receive are also from the local treasury, and theoretically they do not take a penny from the earth. As a result, the Military Command Headquarters only has the right to supervise and guide them, but it does not have any command or personnel power.

For Yu Lian, the commissioner, today's plan is naturally a formality.

What surprised him a little was that the quality of the militia in New Seville was actually quite good. Although the discipline is not satisfactory, the equipment is okay, and it can be seen that many people have really seen blood.

"It's just the so-called fierce folk customs. To put it bluntly, in a remote star region, which planet is not like this? Dinah: They're more exaggerated than I am. The cowboy even has a mobile fortress and an armored airship in his hands! ”

Miss Lilia Alfonso, the militia commander from Waterdeep and the local sheriff, sneered.

"These guys are still far from the real army!"

Yes, if it weren't for the discovery, it was Lilia who was in charge of docking this event, and Yu Lian wouldn't even bother to participate.

The so-called militia system of the Blue Star Community is generally implemented in some remote star areas. In these remote galaxies, which are not the main transportation routes, the security situation is always unsatisfactory, and there are always some interstellar outlaws who flow here. Due to the cost and administrative considerations, the community government does not have enough security maintenance forces in these places, so it can only open up its authority and directly sink the local law enforcement power.

Of course, this is also a kind of respect for the rights and interests of local citizens! There is absolutely no such thing as a literary conspiracy theory, and there is absolutely no political game between the local government and the earth!

Take New Seville as an example, this planet inhabited by more than 20 million earthlings is theoretically within the administrative area of the far-shore star sector. But in fact, the command of the militia, which has a total number of 100,000 people, belongs to more than a dozen municipal governments on the planet.

The Ninth Fleet of the Community Navy, also known as the "Far Shore Defense Fleet", is also included in it. However, although the starry sky of the Runa system belongs to the Far Shore Fleet, the law enforcement power on the planet belongs to the garrison and militia.

All right...... The main force of the garrison and the marines stationed here are basically on the planet Lumina next door, so the surface and sea of New Seville belong to the militia.

"But because of this, there are occasional fights between cities over one or two oversized emperor blade fish."

After all, it's the age of the universe, and everyone won't fight for fishing grounds. However, if you encounter the Emperor Blade Fish, it is a different matter. This hegemon, which lives in the seas of New Seville, is on average more than 100 meters long and more than 500 tons. Whether it is fish bones, fish meat, fish oil, or internal organs and gastrointestinal secretions, they are all very useful, and they can be called treasures.

If it is the kind of ancient individual that is more than two hundred meters, it has even reached the level of a phantom beast, and it can even precipitate zero element crystals in its body.

That's understandable, right? In the age of the earth, there were more than 10,000 people fighting even for water, let alone a big fish that could sell at least nine figures?

"Yes! That's why I said that the local celebrities in many remote star areas of the community are not much different from warlords. ”

Lilia glanced at Yu Lian: "Yes, you can call me Your Highness now." What do you think? No regrets? ”

Yu Lian sighed, revealing a sad expression: "Lilia Alfonso, you can't just go back to your hometown comfort zone for so long and indulge in low-level fun and can't extricate yourself. Is it so simple to forget your ideals? This planet is so involuted even a little bit of whaling, doesn't it want to see some positive changes? ”

"Okay, okay, I know that the captain has the world in mind, how dare I, the daughter of a rich man in the countryside, compare with Fina and them, I just lack consciousness!" Lilia puffed up.

"Anyway, Yu Lian, do you need soldiers now? I'm in charge, and I can send you a thousand people. ”

"I thought your militarization problem was serious. Do the militias of other cities listen to you? ”

"It's been years since the last fight. The main opponents in the past few years have been poachers, stowaways and fugitives who have turned around after the Far Shore Nebula. They've been getting more and more lately. And then there's the huge swarm of bloodfin fish monsters, which have been getting more and more irritable lately. Dad and the other mayors also knew that if they continued to fight like this, nothing good would come of it, so we had already set up a security coordination committee. Every six months, militiamen from various cities get together for a month of training. I'm the only moonman on the planet, and I grew up here, and I participated in several militia camp training before college...... People are still a little popular here. Lilia smiled sweetly

I feel that the problem of militarization will be even more serious!

Yu Lian looked at the girl who seemed to be the most "silly and sweet" in the student union, and suddenly felt that the sea here was more suitable for her.

Lilia added, "I did ask my dad at the last mayoral meeting. The old mayor of the Red Reef Islands, Charlie, did propose to build a sea surface light track. From the largest port in the southern hemisphere to the largest city in the northern hemisphere, that is, Deep Water City. Once completed, more than 70 percent of the islands of New Seville will be directly connected by rail trains. ”

The economy of New Seville is indeed based on tourism and fishing. Fortunately, not every snake is so short-sighted. Once this planet-wide transportation artery is built, the closure and estrangement between these maritime cities will be a thing of the past. At least in the interior of this ocean week, a more powerful cycle will be formed.

From this point of view, the sages of the countryside on this planet are not particularly incorrigible.

"However, we have not yet fully decided whether the route will be designed by the Alliance or the Republic of Minlan. The alliance is indeed more expensive, but there is more adequate technical support. The conditions on Minlan's side are very good, but the light track they built has had several problems. ”

"It's better to use Minlan's side. However, we have to tell those profiteers that we are responsible for the main materials, and tell them not to recommend some messy middlemen. In addition, it is still according to the original plan that we have agreed before...... Add one more condition, let them take the lead in introducing the foreign trade officer of the Koromi people, and introduce the cultivation and processing technology of the algae. ”

Lilia nodded, "I've already told my dad about it, and he said he's thinking about it and asked the scientific advisor to start researching it." It's just that, Yu Lian, are you sure that Luozao, a highly nutritious alien algae, is suitable for growing in the Red Reef Islands? ”

"You always have to try it first! As long as everything is in compliance, it will not cause invasive species. Once it is cultivated, it can be used as a basis to breed higher-quality rare seafood, and at the same time build large-scale nutrient-rich feed.

In this way, the finished nutrient feed can be fed into the New Tennessee system, which is Miss Dinah Jefferson's hometown, not far from here, and greatly increase the production of agricultural products there.

Then, the new Shenzhou Tian District, which is being vigorously developed, will be able to obtain a stable, more convenient and naturally cheaper food import channel. Naturally, the development progress there will be much closer.

This is Yulian's layout of the entire industrial chain.

He didn't know if it was whimsical, but at least the girls thought there was a good chance of success.

"But first of all, it's the construction of this offshore light track. Yu Lian, we have limited time. If I can't see the results, even if it's on my father's side, I'm not going to be able to talk. Lilia bit her lip with a worried look.

"Don't worry, since I have decided to do it, I must have a bottom. When will you see me at the bottom? ”

Lilia glanced at the other party and said helplessly: "Yes, yes, Master Yu Lian is full of wisdom and strategizing, as long as you don't rush to the front every time to worry about the family, I will believe you!" ”

"Ahahahaha...... This is also a man's romance. Good girl, you have to respect such romance! Yu Lian laughed twice.

Lilia snorted, her eyes suddenly softened, and there was a hint of inexplicable emotion.

"Where's Fina?"

"Just now, I said that I had already set off from Fei Harbor and went to Riga D Star Harbor above to interview."

The Luna system has a large military starport, which is under the jurisdiction of the Far Shore Defense Fleet. It is mainly responsible for the material and logistical transit of the fleet, plus the maintenance of the ships. Of course

Lilia's eyes lit up, and she was about to say something, but Yu Lian had already stood up: "Then I'll set off!" By the way, Lilia, didn't you say you could mobilize 1,000 militiamen? Then let them stay the way they are. Waiting to do a big one. Good news waiting for me! Yes, good news in every sense of the word! ”

Just gone? We just sat down for lunch! Lilia bit her lower lip and sighed sadly as she looked at Yu Lian's back as she left.

I really owe you in my last life! She shook her head as she dialed the terminal and started calling: "It's me!" I pondered for a moment, how about simply each city send some elite manpower to form a rapid reaction force of 1,000 people? Yes, I think so, if the optical track is built in the future, then there will be a need for a mobile force responsible for the security around the track! ”

Almost at the same moment, more than two billion kilometers away from New Seville, behind a gas giant known as "Runa C", a medium-sized cargo ship with a sense of assembly was slowly skimming its orbit, little by little, towards the magnificent colorful nebula.

Its hull is completely black, and it is barely visible through the interlacing of time in the universe.

This armed merchant ship named "Ten Thousand Years Eagle" is a smuggling ship with a lot of reputation on the road. Captain "Black Hawk" Hanford is also a top smuggler who has been crisscrossing the galaxy for almost fifty years, and he also carries tens of millions of bounties in the empire's sphere of influence. In the road, he can be regarded as one of the famous bigwigs.

He's a Wookiee, with long, stout limbs and an equally thick torso, and he looks like an enhanced gorilla. He does have the wrist to break steel bars, but he's also an experienced captain.

Now, the big guy is having lunch in the ship's cafeteria with a guest who has just boarded the ship. He behaved very politely to the guest who had just boarded the ship.

"Brother Black Moon, we have cooperated many times, but this is the first time I have seen you come to the trading site in person." The captain said.

"This time is special." The other party said with a smile.

Known as "Black Moon", he is an earth "man" with a mediocre height, a mediocre body, a mediocre appearance, and a very mediocre sense of existence, wearing a close-fitting power soft armor. Although he dressed like a third-rate soldier, and although he would not be able to find him if he threw it into the crowd, he was a more famous thief than Captain Hanford on the road - "Earl Black Moon".

The scope of activities of the Earl of Black Moon, a thief who robs the rich and helps the poor, is indeed mainly in the territory of the community, but his reputation has already spread to the underground world of the entire galaxy.

Even in the underground taverns of the most remote barren star districts, there are people who happily talk about the story of the thief who made the emperor go home.

Captain Hammerford also knew that although the other party's current ordinary appearance was impeccable, and there was no trace of camouflage at all, it was really not the other party's true face.

He'd seen each other several times, and each time they looked different.

"Special?" The captain was puzzled. He doesn't think that there are a bunch of fake drugs, no, there is anything special about generic drugs. Arms, anesthetics, and even Zero Elemental and Enlightenment Legacy have all been poured down.

"Yes, the goods are special, the timing is special, and the traders are special. It just so happens that I have been on Earth for a long time, and I also want to come out and meet old friends. The Earl of the Black Moon smiled at Hanford and said, "How are you doing?" Grandson is going to college, right? ”

The smuggling tycoon, who is quite famous on the black (meow) road of the whole galaxy, nodded: "Yes! I was able to be admitted to Alliance Ocean University! Hehe, although he may not even know that there is such a grandfather as me, he still has to prepare the tuition fees. This kid is different from me, and he can live in a different way. ”

"Then you'll have to launder your tuition. The most powerful thing about the alliance is not the Extraordinary Authority and the Guerrilla Association, but the Internal Revenue Service! ”

Mr. Captain's cheeks, covered with hair and hideous muscles, twitched with a look of distress.

"You're wrong! The Extraordinary Administration and the IRS are one and the same, and it is not uncommon for guerrillas to catch tax evasion. He said.

The old captain was about to complain a few more words about the evil alliance and the capitalists who wanted money, but at this time, he received a message from the first mate of the bridge.

"Two units away from us, two assault ships are running parallel to our ship...... Sure it's the patrol fleet of the Far Shore Defense Fleet! The first mate's voice said.

"Keep on the lookout! The second engine remains warmed up and opens the mirage system! The captain said.

The first mate said yes, and then he said again: "Then, you and the passengers, let's take turns eating." ”

Captain Hanford gave the order step by step, but there was no tension. In the eyes of this free man who roams the stars, the surveillance laid by the Far Shore Defense Fleet is not much different from a sieve. In other words, the border surveillance network of all countries in the galaxy is a sieve.

Seeing that Count Black Moon was looking at him with a smile, he explained with a smile: "I actually run this channel a lot! Although the Far Shore Nebula is dangerous, there is actually a certain pattern! Tomorrow, a transition channel will open. It's a secret that only we old scoundrels have in their hands, and the Community Navy doesn't know it. Even if they found us, they would at most symbolically chase after us, and they would have given up. ”

"I understand. Moreover, with the performance of your ship and the capabilities of the crew, the two assault ships are no match for each other. ”

"Don't say such terrible things! I'm just a businessman, so I don't dare to have such a right or wrong with an official family. Captain Hanford shook his head.

As the captain had said, the two Community patrol ships probably hadn't noticed them at all, and after a few minutes of parallel two astronomical units, they turned straight away. The farther and farther the sides went, and soon left the radar capture range.

At this time, the crew also began to take turns to come to the cafeteria for lunch. In addition to the crew members of this "Ten Thousand Year Eagle" who were full of the atmosphere of extralegal fanatics at first glance, there were also a considerable number of ordinary passengers who were plainly dressed and dusty.

"Not the slave trade! I don't do this kind of pit daddy thing where I can't grow a son and can't grow hair! It's just refugees and stowaways. The captain explained to the Count.

Earl Black Moon said that he had no doubts, and if it was a slave, they would definitely wear restraints, but he still asked curiously: "On the other side of the Nebula on the far shore, but the Empire's sphere of influence!" ”

"Heh, it's all about life. There's nothing wrong with being a lord under an Imperial Lord! If that lord still has a little conscience, then maybe he can earn some family business after working hard all his life, which can be regarded as a creation given by the spirit of the universe. ”

Count Black Moon nodded noncommittally, his gaze sweeping over the passengers who were preparing to eat.

Captain Hanford was a big smuggler, but he was generally good-looking. The meals for these refugee smugglers were not bad, although most of them were canned food with high salt and high preservatives, but at least the portions were adequate.

Earl Black Moon was just about to glance at it casually, but when "his" eyes swept over the crowd, his gaze froze, and a playful smile gradually appeared on his ordinary face.

"Captain Ford, where did these stowaways come from?"

"That's not all. Alliance, Ralt, Vero, oh, and of course the New World. It's already a bus lane that spans the universe! As soon as the captain smiled, he quickly realized something, and his expression sank.

"You'll need to get ready to scrub the floor."

With these words, Count Black Moon stood up and walked straight towards the crowd of diners.

He ignored the gaze salute thrown at him, and walked straight to the corner, standing in front of a man sitting by the wall with his legs hugged.

This should be a human being, because wrapped in a dusty robe, it is not possible to tell the age of the gender, but it is obvious that it should be a small person. He, or she, carefully held a plate of canned meat and bread, and ate it in small bites.

The other party seemed to have sensed someone approaching, tightened his robe, tried to keep himself close to the wall, and tried to make himself a little transparent. Poor innocent and helpless.

"I also like to see the world from a different identity and a different perspective. It doesn't make me get carried away and forget the fact that I'm human. So, I understand your pleasure. The Earl said.

The figure shrunk under the robe seemed to be even more frightened, shivering, and the thin arms stretched out under the robe could barely hold the food plate in his hand.

No matter how you look at it, this scene is a **bully bullying a lonely stowaway. After a short period of stunned, the passengers present were somewhat angry. They were all refugees, so naturally they didn't dare to react violently, so they could only express their support with their eyes.

As if unaware, Earl Black Moon continued, "However, the work after that is very important to me, and I can't let go of any hidden dangers. ”

The Ash Cloak lowered the food tray in his hand and put both hands under the cloak.

"You're a psyker, aren't you?" Earl Black Moon said.

The other party was silent.

“…… We are the same astrolabe, so I can feel your breath, your psionic fluctuations, your current rings, and even your abilities that are activating right now. Earl Black Moon restrained his smile, and his voice suddenly had a hint of solemnity: "But other than that, I can feel more!" Tell me, an individual...... Why is there such a strong smell of blood? How can an individual feel such a dense fluctuation of life? ”

"Phew!" Suddenly, there was a deafening crash in the air.

At some point, a tentacle like a giant scorpion tail stretched out from the shadow covered by the gray robe, circled behind the Earl of Black Moon, and immediately launched an attack.

However, the Count did not turn his head back, but raised his left hand. At some point, a sharp butterfly dart was between all of her fingers, spreading out like a fan, and swept the scorpiontail's hooked tentacles into it. In an instant, the latter was completely unable to move as if it had been entangled by four or five steel cables at the same time.

The man finally raised his head, and under the stained gray cloak was a delicate and beautiful girl's face, pitiful and delicate. If it weren't for the reddish-brown and black pupils in her eyes, anyone would think that this was just an ordinary high school girl.

"You shouldn't have seen through it!" She roared, her voice hoarse and low, like a lone wolf cornered.

Still looking for "Him and Their Stars" for free?

Baidu direct search: "easy" is very simple!
