Chapter 41: The Federation and the Empire
After a quarter of an hour, the glow on the two-headed vulture faded.
At this time, the two-headed vulture is more extraordinary, its feathers are brighter, and even its body is larger, and its momentum has increased by a large scale.
"Chirp ————," the two-headed vulture raised its head and roared at the sky at the same time.
The voice was sharp and piercing into the sky.
The cries of the two-headed vultures could be clearly heard within a radius of dozens of miles, and countless frightened star beasts scattered and fled.
Zhao Xingchen was close, so he could only cover his ears hard.
Where the spiritual department students were, everyone had just passed through the Abyss Canyon, Qin Keqing looked in the direction where the voice came from and exclaimed in his heart: "The cry of the two-headed vulture, is this momentum a high-level star beast?" You must not be fine! ”
The call of the two-headed vulture seemed to be a declaration of sovereignty, telling all low-level and mid-level star beasts that a new king had arrived.
Xuanwu Star does not have a real king-level star beast, nor does it have a general-level star beast, and the high-level star beast is the king here.
And the power of the Double-Headed Vulture bloodline tells all the star beasts that they are not ordinary high-level star beasts.
After the two-headed vulture roared, he looked down at Zhao Xingchen with sharp eyes.
Zhao Xingchen was taken aback, wouldn't that be a good deal, he couldn't beat this guy now.
"After yelling, let Lao Tzu lie down obediently!" No matter what, the momentum can't be lost, Zhao Xingchen angrily scolded the two-headed vulture.
There was a moment of hesitation in the eyes of the two-headed vulture, and then obediently crouched on Zhao Xingchen, with both heads on the ground, like a chicken seeing a real eagle.
When Zhao Xingchen saw that there was a play, he was immediately overjoyed, and he was finally not busy in vain.
——————
When Zhao Xingchen returned to the team, everyone was waiting for him.
"Xingchen, are you alright?" Qin Keqing asked with concern.
"Of course it's fine, do you look like I'm in trouble?" Zhao Xingchen said with a smile.
"What about the two-headed vulture?" Qin Keqing wondered.
"Of course I dumped it."
Dumped? Light to say?
"And what's the call?"
"Maybe that stupid bird didn't catch me and went crazy."
Qin Keqing: "......"
The two-headed vulture that has returned to the Great Snow Mountain: "......"
The team continued to move westward, and spent half a month in peace.
Today, everyone has been walking on Xuanwu Star for more than 70 days, and through Zhao Xingchen's calculations, it will take at most ten days for the team to reach the end point.
Since the last encounter with the senior killer, there has been no accident from the academy.
Could it be that the other party has already given up?
It is unlikely that I will give up, and I am afraid that there is a bigger conspiracy waiting for me.
"Look at the big shooting star!" I don't know who suddenly shouted at the sky.
Everyone hurriedly looked up into the air.
A huge fireball fell from the sky, and it did look like a meteorite that had been caught on fire by friction in the atmosphere.
"No, that's not a meteor." Qin Keqing opened her mouth and said seriously.
At this time, Zhao Xingchen also felt that something was wrong, the speed of this meteor was too slow, and it didn't look like a meteor when it was on fire, and there was actually a thick tail smoke.
The meteor was getting closer and closer, and it was clear that it was not far from the crowd where it fell.
"That's ...... A battleship. Qin Keqing said in disbelief.
At this time, everyone also saw clearly, it was a burning battleship, and several huge holes in the battleship seemed to tell everyone that it had been attacked and fell on fire.
"This ...... How is it possible, is it possible that the academy is under attack? Zhao Xingchen exclaimed.
There must be a warship guarding the Xuanwu Star, is it really attacked?
"This is not the academy's battleship, I can't see where it is." Qin Keqing shook his head and said.
Qin Keqing was familiar with all the warships in the Star Academy, and even most of the warships in the Human Federation, but this battleship in front of him was definitely the first time he had seen it.
"Boom......." The battleship exploded in the air and disintegrated, burning violently.
With such a large battleship, I'm afraid there are a lot of staff inside, and I don't know if they have escaped.
Where did the battleship come from? How did it crash on the basalt? Did something happen to the Academy?
This is the question on everyone's mind.
Zhao Xingchen suddenly noticed that there was a small flying machine flying towards him and the others in the direction of the battleship's explosion.
"That's? Escape pod! ”
That's right, it's an escape pod, and both ships and warships will have a lot of this stuff on hand.
This thing can make people sleep in it for years, floating in space waiting for rescue.
The escape pod landed steadily in front of Zhao Xingchen, it was obvious that its purpose was itself, perhaps because it saw that Zhao Xingchen was the leader of this team.
"Help." Zhao Xingchen rushed forward, found the escape pod button, and opened the escape pod.
To Zhao Xingchen's surprise and everyone, it was not a warrior, not even an adult, but a little girl who was only about ten years old.
The little girl is like a princess in a fairy tale, with a porcelain doll-like face and a purple princess hairstyle, which couldn't be more cute, and everyone who sees her can't help but be attracted.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Xingchen removed the armor on his face and arms, and then stretched out his hands to gently carry the little girl out of the escape pod.
Remove the facial armor because she is afraid that the little girl will be frightened when she sees it and thinks it is an enemy.
Remove the hand armor because the little girl only wears a long dress and the armored arm may hurt the little girl, or it will be uncomfortable.
Zhao Xingchen's actions still alarmed the little princess in his arms after all.
I saw that the little girl's eyelashes trembled, her eyes opened slightly, she looked at Zhao Xingchen, and then said something that broke everyone's hearts.
"Brother, save me!"
After saying this, the girl closed her eyes again, it was obvious that she was too tired.
At this time, many people had gathered around Zhao Xingchen, and when they heard the girl's words, all of them felt heartache.
"Someone else is coming." Someone looked at the sky and said.
A medium-sized shuttle plane stopped above everyone, and more than a dozen figures flew down from the shuttle.
These people are dressed in standard armor, and they fly in an orderly manner, like soldiers, but they are not too similar, but they are certainly the strength of a certain force.
More than a dozen people stopped in the air more than ten meters above Zhao Xingchen and the others.
The first person looked at Zhao Xingchen and said in a fierce and unrefusable voice: "Give me the little girl in your arms." ”
"What if I refuse?" Zhao Xingchen asked tentatively.
"Yaga! Dare to be disrespectful to the imperial army, a capital crime! The empty men were immediately furious, and one of them opened his mouth to curse.
Hearing the other party's words, Zhao Xingchen laughed mockingly.
In the previous life, I had only seen these guys on TV, but I didn't expect to be met by myself in this life, and it seems that in this life they are also destined to be enemies.
Qin Keqing took the lead in activating the laser sword and held it in his hand, looking like he was fighting to the end.
All the students around Zhao Xingchen saw Qin Keqing's movements, and they all held the laser sword and activated it.
"Humble galactic natives, do you know who you're disrespecting?" The leader still roared arrogantly.
"It's just a wolf, haha!" Zhao Xingchen laughed mockingly.
"You're looking for death!" Hearing Zhao Xingchen's words, except for the person in charge, everyone else couldn't help but pull out the long knife they were wearing, looking like they were going to rush down and kill Zhao Xingchen. Fortunately, he was stopped in time by the leader and pacified.
In fact, Zhao Xingchen deliberately provoked the other party, others may not know, but Zhao Xingchen knew that the minimum combat power of these people must be above level 25, and the person at the head must be more than level 30, he wants to attract the other party's hostility to himself, and then he can switch the armor and escape with the little girl, this group of people will not embarrass others.
After all these years, the word "Wako" is still taboo for them.
"Are you really going to be our enemy? Have you thought about it? The leader stared at Zhao Xingchen and threatened.
"There's nothing to think about, I just can't get used to you." Zhao Xingchen replied.
"I admire your courage, but you'll regret it, we'll meet again." The leader said, and then returned to the shuttle with everyone behind him, and soon the shuttle disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Just gone?" Zhao Xingchen wondered.
Zhao Xingchen originally thought that there would be a fierce battle today, and he was ready to summon the two-headed vulture, but he didn't expect that these guys who thought they had no one in their eyes actually took the initiative to retreat.
"It should be the Dreadnought Legion that has been dispatched, and they have to temporarily withdraw from the territory of the Star Academy. The reason why they didn't make a move on all of us is that they are afraid of the forces behind so many people, and if something goes wrong, it is not something that a few of their small roles can afford, but if there is a real war, the empire behind them will not be afraid of any federal forces. Qin Keqing said.
"Empire? What the heck? "Zhao Xingchen has only heard of the Human Federation, when did people come and establish an empire.
"The full name of the empire is called the Holy Imperial Kingdom, they are not in the Milky Way, but in the Andromeda Galaxy, their ancestral home should be familiar to you, it is the nation on the earth that wanted to dominate the world more than a thousand years ago, and shouted about the common prosperity of the world all day long. At the beginning of the interstellar era, they took the initiative to go against humanity, went to the Andromeda galaxy and established their own empire, less contact with the Federation, and the Federation rarely mentioned them, but according to reliable sources, their desire to dominate the human world is still unextinguished, or even stronger, many people predict that they may one day return to the galaxy in the form of war, but the Federation knows very little about the Empire, and even the strength of the other party is not very well understood. Qin Keqing said to Zhao Xingchen.
Zhao Xingchen only felt that his scalp was numb, and if he was not careful, he provoked a force whose strength might be equal to that of the Human Federation.
"You don't have to worry too much, the relationship between the Federation and the Empire has always been hostile, first, because the distance is too far, and second, everyone is immersed in the development of science and technology, and they are not yet capable of fighting an interstellar war across the galaxy."
"Will they ever come back?" Zhao Xingchen is very concerned about this problem, if they come again, it will definitely be a tough battle.
"Theoretically, the Federation will not have any compromise with the Empire, and the Star Academy belongs to the Federation and will insist on this, the problem is the importance of this girl to them, if they give enough benefits to the snobbs in the Academy, I am afraid that those guys will also make concessions, and the final result can only be five or five points, which is possible." Qin Keqing carefully analyzed.
"Is there a way to contact Dean Qin? I would like to know what they are doing. Zhao Xingchen looked at Qin Keqing and asked hopefully.
"Just leave it to me." Qin Keqing agreed.
