"On the side of the ancient road outside the long pavilion, the grass is green and the sky is ~~~~~"

Yu Lian carried a large package and sang through the ruins of the ancient city of Thurro. Although there is no hot pot, although the red card false order seized last time has officially completed the historical mission, he is still very happy.

The contents of the bag can be divided among friends, or sold directly. As for those things that are not easy for friends to know, of course, they have already been put in the ring.

The only thing that's a bit of a pity is the ones that are buried under the rubble. Although the leader of Wanda is a layman, he is also a very tasteful layman, whether it is those mellow wines or high-quality tobacco and cigars, all of them are Yu Lian's favorites.

It's a pity that it's all gone, and there are a lot of gems that have been discontinued!

But in any case, this little episode that is not too pleasant still can't affect my good mood after all. When he was about to walk out of the ruins and arrive at the meeting place as originally planned, he was even happier to see his friends munching on field rations around the campfire.

Of course, Fei Fei is good, and the marines brought by Yu Lian are also intact, and there are a few more friends who are also intact, such as Miss Inahilika, and so on.

In addition, there is a Lumina man on the ground who does not match the style of painting. Take a closer look, isn't it the legendary Lumina savior, the rebel in the minds of everyone in the Red Maple Factory, the so-called white general "Colmore"?

Of course, this guy is not white at all, he has a short leg and an arm, he is covered in dried black-brown blood and dust, and his carapace is covered with scars, and in some places it is even obvious that it has been torn off, and it looks like it hurts.

This is like a demon who has just climbed down from the battlefield of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. However, considering that this thing is now lying on the ground, I don't know if I am alive or dead, and it is very likely that I have just suffered a miserable torture.

This is not good, and the mistreatment of prisoners of war is also a violation of the Interstellar Convention. Although countries have not complied with it much, the convention is the convention.

Yu Lian didn't deliberately hide the sound of footsteps, restrained his breath, everyone should have found out earlier, and he didn't deliberately stay vigilant.

When Fei Fei's eyes swept over, Yu Lian quickly restrained the smile that was about to flow out of his saliva and showed a graceful and breezy smile - this was the new expression he had just learned from the "Earl of Salvin" in the spiritual treasury.

"I was relieved to see that everyone was still healthy."

Fei Fei seemed very interested in this new expression, and stared at it for a few more seconds: "It's a pity that Flores Wanda escaped." Thankfully, we managed to take down Kormo. ”

"Are you sure it's him?" Of course, this is nonsense, Yu Lian is quite confident in the ability of Fei Fei and his friends. However, as a person in the system, you always have to go through the motions.

"I'm sure it's him!" It was Simon Vayali who spoke. Before entering the Military College, he had been serving in the Far Shore Star Sector, and had also served as a sergeant major, and had fought several battles with the Lumina rebels who had wandered to the surrounding galaxies, and even sniped psionics. Although Kormo is a junior who has only emerged in recent years, Simon has also carefully read the former's materials.

"There aren't many Luminas in White Armor, but I can't be mistaken about Kormo's appearance. What's more, there is such strength! ”

Looks! Yu Lian was suddenly in awe. He really couldn't tell what the Lumina looked like. If you don't rely on your psionic energy to sense the life magnetic field, it is estimated that no one will recognize it. He has always felt that there is really no difference between Babaru and Kormo, except for one black and one white, the former is 1.5 times the thickness and width of the latter.

"Excellent! As for ...... over there" Yu Lian glanced at the ruins of Guthro City behind him: "Almost all the cultists and the leaders of the Rumina rebels are there, everywhere. ”

"Marshal Peris once said that if you succeed this time, the community will no longer need to worry about the security of Rumina's planet for ten years." Fei Fei smiled: "So, I can use the victory record as one of the headlines of this report, right?" ”

Scold...... The rebels will always be an itch of mustard, and if I can't establish a sound development plan for more than thirty years of long-term peace and stability here, it will be for nothing. Yu Lian thought.

As for the longer term, there is no way, the course of history is still not good to look at the past.

However, the premise of all this is that the external environment of the Lumina system can at least be in a relatively stable state. Thinking of this, Yu Lian looked at Colmore who was lying on the ground. He broke an arm and a leg, and lay on the ground angrily, although his body was still huge, but he looked rickety and even a little cringe, like an old dog whose backbone had been broken.

Of course, he also noticed Yu Lian's arrival, so he raised his head and squeezed a pleading smile on his carapace with a flattering smile.

The expression system of the Lumina people is of course different from that of humans, but Yu Lian can still sense the other party's emotional changes with psionic energy. This shows that Colmore, a psyker, does not have any defenses, and is indeed really kneeling, and indeed really begging for mercy.

"This, is this really Colmore?" Yu Lian couldn't help but ask again.

The leader of the Lumina rebels probably died too early, and he will not leave more than one record in the history books in the future. However, after all, he is the best among the children of the Red Maple Factory, and the empire will use him as a leading party, at least he can be regarded as a figure. Yu Lian also thought that this guy would at least "show" a little backbone.

"It's really him." Simon said helplessly: "So the lower official thinks that this may be a trap." ”

But he ...... With such cooperation, there should be humanitarian treatment of prisoners. Meng Jiao tried his best to restrain his disdain, but he still spoke from the perspective of an excellent officer with a conscience.

"Cooperation?" What do you work with? Do you want to play with the prisoners of war?

"It's very cooperative. Almost as long as he asked, I recorded all his confessions from the very beginning. The big guys above should be able to use it. Fei Fei said with a smile.

Ina was full of disdain: "Really, it's far worse than that Kazhan!" Since he is the leader of the Lumina rebels, shouldn't he have a bit of backbone? On the side of the galaxy itself, can't even the indigenous rebels compare to the New World? ”

"I still think it's a trap." Simon Vayali Road.

"Then cut off two fingers and ask again. Or rip off half of the carapace? Ina was starting to get excited to try. Yu Lian felt that this girl should not be that sickly and coquettish, she was just blindly coaxing.

"You can't do that, it's a violation of military regulations." Meng Jiao reluctantly adhered to the conscience of a career officer.

Yu Lian leaned down, looked directly into the eyes of the Lumina people, and said with a pleasant face, "Mr. Coolmore, huh?" You can also see that the soldiers of our community are not demons after all, and they have always paid attention to punishing the former and the latter. It's up to me to decide what you just explained to you just now, don't you mind telling me about it again, right? ”

The legendary White General's broken carapace twitched, and a wry smile came out of his mouth, saying, "...... Under the commission of the Empire. There is an important man in the Empire who needs the God of the Sky, the life core of the Ten Thousand Beasts, so he entrusted me to participate in this project from beginning to end. ”

...... "What a pitiful! The Limpur Behemoth.

"In exchange, the Empire promised to increase its support for the Lumina independence movement and to include the Lumina as a vassal state."

"It's quite sincere." Yu Lian nodded.

In the political system of the empire, although the citizens of the vassal states had no status, they were also "foreigners", which was much better than the true second-class races in the homeland who could not even obtain national rights.

Once it comes to diplomatic relations, even the imperial aristocracy will restrain three points, and even if they want to oppress, they have to pay attention to some ways and means that are reasonable.

Also, who said that a vassal state is not a diplomatic relationship? This is clearly an advanced form of alliance!

If the Lumina could really become independent and become a vassal state under the banner of the Empire, life should be much better than during the colonial rule of the previous Empire.

"In addition, you may be able to take advantage of the expansion of the empire in the east, swallow the entire Far Shore Star Sector, and establish a regional power belonging to the Lumina people. Is that so? ”

The other party laughed and didn't speak, which was basically a tacit acquiescence.

This is indeed the ultimate goal of the Lumina separatists in later generations.

You know, since the last independence movement, the Empire's visionaries have realized that it may be unrealistic to regain control over the Community and the Earthlings. Rather than this, it would be better to dismember it completely, and it would create a strategic buffer between the empire and the alliance, without irritating the fragile nerves of the alliance and the rest of the powers.

Or rather, the nations are happy to see it.

Once the community is dismembered, the relatively remote Far Shore Star Sector will be one of the fat that has been separated.

However, with a distant nebula and three or four vassal states, it is not realistic for the empire to rule directly, and if it is lost to other vassal states, it may lead to over-strengthening of one country and cause an imbalance of power.

Rather than that, it would be better to hand over this sector to a new, hungry but loyal new dog.

Anyway, it's all about being a dog, so why not just find the most powerful and generous owner?

"As for my words...... Because of the great favor of the Marquis of Odegar, he has become a subordinate knight of the Astral Knights, and if this time goes well, he can become an official Astral Knight. Colmo continued.

"Marquis of Odegar? The one who just succeeded to the throne? Yu Lian frowned slightly.

Seeing that the other party nodded, Yu Lian secretly said sure enough.

Yu Liangang wanted to ask the other party how he was going to connect with the Imperial side, but he saw that Meng Jiao next to him seemed to have received information from the outside world, pressed the headset, and his face sank suddenly.

"Sir, the Outer Space Fog Capital 14 has called and a fleet has jumped into the Lumina system, and it is confirmed that it is ...... Moda Black Flag Army. ”

Colmore's cheeks twitched again, and the muscles beneath the shattered carapace twitched the wound, tangled so much that it was clear at a glance.

"Coming to pick you up? That's it? Will their wrecked ship be able to pass through the Far Shore Nebula? ”

The so-called Moda Black Flag Army is one of the few units in the Lumina rebel army with space power. Of course, it was not so much the Lumina rebels as a group of pirates under the banner of an "uprising". Its leader is called Moda, a very rare naval leader of the Lumina race who "resettled in the land", and at its peak there were still hundreds of ships and tens of thousands of pirates under his command. Usually based on the distant shore nebula, it is a big pirate who gathers the galaxy.

The "Lumina Rebels" fleet that Wayne killed during his internship was the subordinate of this cargo.

However, there is one thing to say, the Moda Black Flag Army is really just pirates disguised as rebels. Moda is a Lumina, but most of his men are not.

Of course, the supplies and foreign aid received by the Lumina rebels were basically transported by them, and they were not wronged if they were really beaten.

It's just one thing to disguise yourself as a "rebel" to make some smuggling money, but it's another thing to fight for your "rebel partners" in front of the regular fleet of the community.

Besides, with the broken ships of the Black Flag Army, it is not a big problem to treat the Far Shore Nebula as a rat hole, but it is too unrealistic to run directly through the entire Nebula to the range of the Empire's strength.

To put it bluntly, in order to hide from the officers and soldiers, of course the bandits can drill into the cave, but there is no way to really climb the snowy mountain!

“…… This was all arranged by the Marquis of Odegar. According to the original plan, I should indeed have sent the life crystals of the Ten Thousand Beasts to Moda. That's all I really know. ”

Kormo is indeed too cooperative, no wonder the friends are still suspecting that it is a trap.

Yu Lian no longer paid attention to the other party and said to Ina, "Please contact Senior Sister...... Colonel Bonaparte, approve our boarding! ”
