Shortly after the Fallen Angel left the Talidar star system, Kelinia sent a message asking him why he had been there for so long, just to exchange hostages, how it took so long, and how he needed to be present for the completion ceremony of the first battleship production line. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This was something that had been determined a few days ago, and Kellynia had written a manuscript for him to memorize. But she didn't know that the manuscript had already been thrown into the trash by Captain Tang, and then dumped into the garbage recycling bin by Claire.

With a large number of engineering teams working around the clock, the completion of the first space production line suitable for destroyers and light cruiser-class warships is indeed a joyful thing. However, he really didn't have much interest in giving speeches, cutting ribbons, etc., even though many guests had already arrived in the Dillard star system, including Connor, the head of the Babylon branch of the former Redeemer Humanitarian Foundation, who had helped him speak? Raphael.

He hated this kind of formalism and felt that it was bureaucratic and had no practical significance. But as the person in charge of the Morning Star Casting, he must also attend the ceremony, talk about the scene, and meet the prominent figures of the Star Alliance society.

He had a headache, a real headache. Fortunately, the sudden change gave him an excuse to be absent from the ceremony.

He tells Kellynia what happened to the star system, and then sends a video of it, and presses the abort button under the woman's angry and helpless gaze.

When people learned that the horrific tragedy had occurred in the Talida star system, and the city in the sky had been reduced to a city of bones, and all this may have something to do with God's armament, Captain Tang drove the spaceship to pursue the dark power, and wanted to dedicate himself to the safety of mortal lives. Will they still blame him for his absence? Obviously not, people will praise him for the overall situation, will appreciate his dedication to society, and think that he is a good person with a sense of responsibility and justice.

Zhao Jiali didn't know what he was thinking, and said innocently: "You are really a very good person, I am proud to have a friend like you." ”

Captain Tang smirked innocently. Claire rubbed her temples with her hands, looking like she couldn't laugh or cry, few people knew Captain Tang better than her, and no one knew what he was thinking better than her.

………………

In about a day, the Fallen Angel arrived at the star system in the capital of the Republic of Ida, and successfully crossed the outer warp interception net and appeared in the distant airspace of Klengel.

The Fallen Angel's unique shield system was activated as soon as it exited the wormhole, and the beams from the space-based reconnaissance facility were absorbed and shielded, and it was discovered by the garrison navy in a short period of time.

Located in the heart of the Republic of Ida, the Eramok star system is smaller than the Akubado star system, orbiting only one planet------, Krengel, and Ilamok itself is a red dwarf.

As a star system in the capital of a country, this is obviously a bit petty. It is not a binary star system like the Covenant Duma star system, nor is it like the Sokathu star system of the Sauron Empire, which has a diamond planet that attracts the world's attention, and it is also different from the case of the Quehanos star system in the United Kingdom of Tulanx, which has multiple planets.

The reason why the Republic of Date has made the Ilamok star system the national capital is because there is an ancient city on Klengel------ Torchlight City.

Perhaps because he knew that he was about to part with Tang Fang and the others, Zhao Jiali's mood was a little low, and he no longer chatted around Claire as before. In fact, the age difference between the two is not too far, but it makes people feel that there is a big difference, one is so stable, and the other is innocent like a little girl.

Fortunately, this situation came and went quickly, as if she had figured out something, she jumped close to the door, looked at the bridge and said, "Although I don't like it here, but seriously, Torchlight City is a very beautiful city. ”

Tang Fang and Claire walked up to her and said with a smile, "Accustomed to seeing the bare ground of Laxis, it is also a pleasure to enjoy the scenery of Torchlight City. ”

"That'...... Miss Ben will be your tour guide reluctantly. She smiled brightly, and her teeth were as white as pearls: "Mr. Bukharin, Mr. Aros, do you want to come along?" ”

The way she waving her hands has a special contagious effect, which makes people's mood lighten.

"Ah, I forgot, there are still people here to guard the battleship." The smile was gone, and she became a little frustrated.

"It doesn't matter." Tang Fang clapped his hands, the security door opened, and a ghost walked into the bridge: "After we leave, he will leave in the Angel Seat, and he will return here to answer when things are done, and Tang Lin is still resting in the room." ”

The veteran hadn't spoken much since he returned to the Fallen Angel, and he looked preoccupied.

Lev? Milonovic? Bukharin walked over and pulled him up from the ground: "The little girl invited us so warmly, don't have an expression of not being allowed to enter, it hurts, just give me a face." ”

Aros glanced at him and didn't speak, obviously not intending to give him this face.

"You're going to make her cry, like ...... back then"

"Got it." The veteran interrupted him, picked up the lighter on the coffee table, and walked towards Zhao Jiali, who was full of anticipation.

Lev? Milonovic? Bukharin shrugged, raised his middle finger at his back, and muttered in a low voice: "If even you can't handle it, I'll still be some kind of black boss." ”

A special operations transport ship detached from the belly of the Fallen Angel and sailed towards Klengel.

Five minutes later, the energy ball on the tail of the Fallen Angel rippled in a circle, and the light marks like water waves spread across the hull of the ship, and disappeared into this cosmic space in the blink of an eye, and disappeared without knowing where to go.

With Emma's help, the special operations transport ship carefully evaded the surveillance of the Klengel Star space-based equipment and the patrol fleet, cut through the dividing line between night and day, and finally landed in a mountainous area designated by Zhao Jiali.

It was already evening, and the glow of Ilamok passed through the woodland, shining on the pitch-black hull of the special operations transport ship, painting it a warm color. Zhao Jiali took Claire's hand and ran out of the cabin, looked up at the sunset, took a deep breath, and said, "The time is just right." Then he pulled Claire and rushed to the woods in front of him.

When Tang Fang, Aros, and Bukharin came out of the cabin, there were only two looming figures left in the woods.

"This girl is not afraid of getting lost." Bukharin shook his head, glanced at the sky, then switched the mobile video camera to compass mode, and saw that the two men were running in the wrong direction.

Because there was a dense forest in front of him, he couldn't drive the vehicle, Tang Fang shook his head, and had to choose to walk: "Let's go." ”

The three of them walked forward for a while, as the trees became denser and sparser, and as the height increased, the roar of a car engine was faintly heard, mixed with the conversation between Zhao Jiali and Claire.

When they stepped onto the ridge, they found that the terrain ahead was gentle, and the clean and bright road stretched out beneath their feet, curving and twisting in the distance, forming a visually striking trail around the mountain.

At a time when shipping is the mainstream of long-distance transportation, few people have chosen road transportation. Whether it is out of feelings or from a historical and cultural point of view, in short, this mountain ring road gives him a special sense of intimacy.

"Hey...... We're here. The girl's shouts woke him up, and he smiled helplessly, and the two behind him jumped down the hill, crossed the driveway, and entered the protruding cliff area ahead.

As the altitude slowly increases, the closer you get to the location of Zhao Jiali and Claire, the wider the field of vision.

It wasn't until he stepped on the stairs and arrived at the well-manicured platform at the top of the cliff area that he was amazed by the scene that jumped into his eyes. It was at this moment that he truly appreciated the beauty of Torchlight City.

Torchlight City existed long before the founding of the Republic of Date, and it is a relic of the Starlink era, no, it should be said that it is a legacy.

In the middle of this mountain range there is a flat lake, and in the center of the lake stands a huge torch dyed golden by the setting sun, which is inserted straight into the mountains and rivers, casting a burning light and shadow on the lake waves.

Around this flat lake, the white beach is surrounded by staircase buildings that radiate into the mountains that rise in the distance. The mountain road ends there, and the greenery that covers the world embraces this pearl. There was a white trail left by the shuttle in the sky, and occasionally waterfowl could be seen soaring from the shore of the lake towards the place where the sun had fallen.

The slightly moist wind blows in the face, washes away the wind and dust on the body, and cleanses the distracting thoughts in the heart.

No wonder Zhao Jiali wanted him to fall here, looking from here, the beautiful scenery of the entire Torchlight City came into view. Green mountains and clear waters, the slanting sun shines in the evening, the birds of the white beach, and the golden roof...... Although it is not the cradle of human civilization, Earth, has accumulated culture and history, it also has a place in the history of interstellar exploration.

Zhao Jiali grabbed the railing and looked at the lake, and shouted: "It's been 7 years...... I'm back here again. I'm fine, how are you? ”

Claire was puzzled and asked who she was talking to. The girl said it was those who grew up with her. It is the mountain, the tree, the water, the stars in the sky, and the charming torch in the distance.

"You know what...... It reminds me of the twilight of Czumer. "Bukharin did not know when he climbed over the fence, and sat on the top of the cliff without any scruples, his eyes falling on the sunset of the western mountains.

"Hmm." Aros didn't say much, just said yes softly.

Bukharin held up the slightly white photograph, held it above his head, and placed it in the sunset, watching as the sun stained the faces in the photograph gold.

Zhao Jiali saw the photo in his hand, and suddenly suggested, "Let's take pictures." ”

Tang Fang shook his head and said helplessly: "Is this considered an occupational disease?" ”

Claire nudged him, "Haven't you always been good at pleasing girls?" How has it become as nasty as hausen now. ”

"Hey, hey...... You're always the best one. ”

Claire said so, and even Aroth, who was the most afraid of trouble, had to sell her face.

Tang Fang originally thought that he was just using a mobile video camera to take a group photo, just like when Bukharin uploaded a photo of the two to Facebook and installed X, and at the same time paved the way for the Red Martyrs Party to wash white.

Who knows that Zhao Jiali opened the backpack on the stone table next to him, took out a retro-style high-precision camera from it, and then took out a folding bracket and fixed it on the ground under the dull gaze of everyone.

When she fixed the camera and was about to adjust the lens, she saw that there was something wrong with the eyes of several people on the other side.

"Have you forgotten...... I'm a photographer. ”

"So, you're an occupational disease." This sentence was said to Zhao Jiali, but his gaze slanted to Claire beside him.

The girl ignored him, moved slightly closer, and gave Bukharin a place.

Zhao Jiali adjusted the angle and focal length, expanded the scenery of Torchlight City, set up the timing function, and quickly ran back to Tang Fang's side.

In the current order, she and Claire are on the left and right side of the Tang side, and a little further behind are Bukharins and Aros.

In terms of taking photos, Tang Fang's attitude is a bit similar to that of Aros, he is not very interested, and even has the feeling of deliberately avoiding the camera in the eyes of outsiders. In fact, he didn't understand why this was happening, just like right now, his expression was always a little unnatural.

Aros's face was always the same, hard as a stone, and there was no fixed smile in sight. Maybe it's because everyone has long accepted his character and has no sense of disobedience.

Claire smiled very gently, and Zhao Jiali smiled very brightly. Bukharin put his left hand around Aros's shoulder, clenched his right hand into a fist, gave a thumbs up, and tried to open his mouth, revealing a row of shiny silver teeth, which looked a little funny, and there was no trace of the seriousness of the black bang.

Just a second before the shutter was about to fall, he shouted a sentence, not "eggplant", not "money", not "Tian Qi".

"Come, one, two, three, open the room!"

Aros's face was like an iceberg exposed to the sun, showing signs of loosening. Tang Fang had a strange expression on his face that was stunned and thoughtful, which was naturally much more than the stiff smile just now.

Claire stopped smiling softly and burst out laughing. The expression on Zhao Jiali's face was the most exaggerated, from the original brilliant to unbelievable, and then to crying and laughing.

The indicator flashes, the shutter falls, and the scenery in the presentation frame freezes. Also retained are the vivid and interesting faces of Tang Fang, Claire and others.

Aros glanced at him and walked away. Claire shook her head and smiled bitterly, finally understanding why Tang Fang had an inexplicable smile in his eyes every time he mentioned the black bang.

She is not Elena, so naturally she will not be so shy because of Bukharin's sentence "open a room" that she can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

She was really curious about how such a guy could become the boss of the ruffians of the Red Martyrs Party.

Zhao Jiali woke up from his stunned and twisted the face of the black bang: "You old pervert, you're talking nonsense again." ”

"Hey, my little aunt, you take it easy, it hurts." Bukharin said aggrievedly: "I also want everyone to be natural, look at that photo, how vivid." Much better than you did for the crew of the Red Beret. ”

"Really?" The girl glanced at the preview and let go of the hand that was pinching his face: "I also think this photo is very good." ”

It's not the kind of posing for a photo, it's more like a happy moment in family life. (To be continued.) )
