Chapter 172: Pandora's Fortress Attack and Defense (8)
Ye Chen walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of room 5707, opened the curtain made of expensive black velvet, and looked at the scene outside the window, silent for a long time.
Although the height of 57 floors is insignificant for the height of the 1,000-story building of the headquarters of the Galactic Empire's Dì Dū Odin Star Praetorian Guard. But in Ye Chen's eyes, the situation he saw at this time was very shocking!
Because in Ye Chen's eyes, there was no beautiful scenery of the planet Dì Dū Odin, what he saw was a huge space harbor as far as the eye could see! According to Ye Chen's understanding, the entire size of this spaceport in front of him was no longer inferior to the spaceport he was in the Tianqin Star Domain, Jinshan Star, and Blue Sea City at that time.
You know, according to the Marquis of Martin Rith, this is just a small spaceport for the Praetorian Guard headquarters near the Imperial City of Odin. This boundless scale, coupled with the various large space warships of unknown models that appeared in Ye Chen's eyes now, were constantly taking off and landing.
In Ye Chen's heart, he said that he was not shocked, it was fake!
At this moment, Catherine walked up to Ye Chen's side, holding two crystal cups in her hands, which were filled with expensive red wine.
She handed Ye Chen a cup and said:
"Auckland, is the scenery of Odin still satisfying you? Soon you will be able to see the three moons side by side in front of this huge floor-to-ceiling window. Today is exactly the fifteenth, the full moon!
Mind having a drink and celebrating our safe arrival in Odin? â
Ye Chen turned his head to look at Catherine, and then looked at the layout around room 5707. Ye Chen reached out and took the glass of red wine that Catherine handed him. I didn't drink it all, but slowly, sipping it down, and continued to look at the huge spaceport scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling viewing window, not knowing what to think about in my heart.
Seeing Ye Chen so puzzled, Catherine said:
"After running around for so long to get to Odin, I'm going to take a shower and get some rest. Take your time and look at the 'scenery'! â
Ye Chen ignored Catherine and continued with her actions just now. Catherine. Snort! Ignore him directly and go in the shower.
âŠâŠâŠ
The head of the Galactic Empire's Praetorian Guard, Marquis Martinris, was in his office, and next to him stood his henchman, Admiral Garabi.
On the holographic projection screen in front of them, Major General Chuck was reporting on the identification of Catherine and Orlando.
"It would be nice if Catherine was sure that she was the eldest daughter of Earl Kate, so that we could consider what to do next. It's Orlando, I'm a little interested! Chuck, tell me more about it! Marquis Martinreth commanded.
"Yes! Lord Marquis! This Orlando ......" Chuck recounted the details of the identity verification process for Orlando.
The Marquis of Martin Reis turned his head to look at Gallabi and said:
"What do you think?"
"Lord Marquis! As soon as I received the information from Chuck's report, I checked this Orlando and asked some cosmic pirates and cosmic mercenaries in the Golden Delta Star Field. This Orlando has no reputation.
Some cosmic pirates or cosmic mercenaries oppose his uncle Odom, learn more. Admiral Galabi said.
"Oh! I'll talk about that later, Chuck, do you have anything else to say? Marquis Martinreth said.
"No, but there's a question I don't know if to talk about or not?" Major General Chuck suddenly became a little slurred.
"What's the matter! Say it quickly, no detail can be missed! The Marquis of Martinreth said loudly, he was able to sit in this position, and was appreciated by His Majesty the Emperor. In addition to his military exploits, more importantly he was a person who paid a lot of attention to detail.
"Report to the Marquis! When Catherine was checking the identity verification just now, there was indeed a small problem. Chuck said.
"What's the problem?!" Marquis Martinreth continued to ask.
"That's right, this thing is also behind me
After asking how Auckland saved Catherine and in what capacity she followed Catherine, I didn't think of it until the report.
Catherine says Auckland is her lover! This is actually not a strange thing among the imperial aristocracy. Catherine is the eldest lady of Earl Kate, a great nobleman of the empire, and it is not surprising that she has several lovers who face each other.
Her half-sister is the second daughter of Count Kate, and she is not clear with Lord Milito, the butler of Count Kate, which is not a secret among the high-ranking nobles of the empire.
It's just that when Catherine was authenticating her identity just now, she checked that the brain had confirmed that Catherine was the eldest daughter of Earl Kate, which is right! However, she is still in perfect shape!
Oakland himself said that he was with Catherine after saving her more than a year ago. And now Catherine is still in perfect shape, this problem is really difficult for her subordinates to judge! Major Chuck continued.
Count Martin Reis thought for a moment, then said:
"Chuck! You continue to protect them! Don't relax the surveillance, I remember to arrange a room for them, there is surveillance! You continue to monitor and remember to tell me if there is any abnormality! Tell Galabi when I'm not there! Stand down! â
"Yes! Lord Marquis! After Chuck finished speaking, he disconnected the holographic projection communication of the brain brain.
Marquis Martin Reis casually turned off the brain holographic projection on this side of his office, and then said to Admiral Galabi:
"What do you think about this? And the topic just now! â
"Let's talk about my opinion on this matter first, I think that Orlando is just a native from the Golden Triangle Star Domain, and his identity is also a level 7 cosmic mercenary, and Catherine promised him something, or a delaying plan, which is normal.
Among the nobility of the empire, both male and female, there were a lot of things about the face of lovers, and there were many such cases.
If Lord Marquis is worried that the Empire is now eventful, and at the same time there is a war with the Elven Empire and the Alliance, and Catherine has returned from a place like the Golden Triangle Star Field, it is very likely that she will be coerced or something.
Then we can continue to monitor it, now they are all under our control, and they can't make any waves! If Catherine is really being blackmailed, we can easily get rid of Orlando! â
After listening to the analysis of his henchman Admiral Garabi, Marquis Martinreth nodded and said:
"Tell me about Uncle Orlando!"
"Yes! Lord Marquis! Orlando's uncle is called Odom. I've verified that Odom is indeed a level 3 cosmic warrior, but he is not a cosmic mercenary, but a cosmic pirate.
What's more important is that I also found out that the real boss of Odom is the legendary 'Lord of Shadows' Tokay!! Admiral Galabi said solemnly.
"What!! Behind Orlando, is the 'Lord of Shadows' Tokay?! He is a Tier 1 cosmic warrior who has been famous for a long time, and one of the existence at the pinnacle of the entire universe!! Are you sure you're talking about that Tokaj? Marquis Martinreth said in surprise.
"Dear Marquis! Indeed, it was him! Therefore, Orlando is not a level 7 cosmic mercenary at all, and it is more appropriate to say that he is a level 7 cosmic pirate! Do I need someone to dispose of him?
This is Odin, even if he is the 'Shadow King' Tokaj, we are not afraid of him, the Empire's worship......"
Before Admiral Galabi could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the Marquis of Martinris:
"Garabi, you're still too young! In Odin, we certainly don't fear Tokaj, the 'Lord of Shadows'. But, you know what? Why did the 'Lord of Shadows' Tokaj stay famous in the universe for so long? And not because he's the king of assassination!
Since I know his history, except for the 'Ice Emperor' Wales who suppressed him because of domain problems, I heard that Tokaj fought with a certain master of the dragon clan, and he was able to get out of the way! Offending him is not a good thing for the current empire! â
"Tokaj and the masters of the dragon clan can fight and get out of the fight?" Lord of Shadows' so
Powerful?!! Garabi shouted.
This surprised him very much, because although Garabi had never seen a real dragon, because the dragons in the entire universe were very, very rare.
Even fewer humans have seen dragons, and the entire 'King of Shadows' Tokaj can fight with the masters of the dragon clan, and he can retreat with his whole body, and his whole strength makes Garabi feel very terrifying!!
Admiral Galabi relented for a moment and said:
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for telling me these secrets! So now look at Catherine's matter, judging from the previous incident that she was still complete, there should be something between her and Orlando.
It is possible that she will tempt Orlando with her body or other conditions, so that Orlando can help her take back actual control of the Kate family! â
The stupidest person in this world thinks he is the smartest person! There is no stupid person who really comes out to go out of the world!
"Teachable! Now the empire is eventful! Although I want to help Earl Kate, an old friend! But the interests of the empire cannot be sacrificed either!
As for Orlando, his identity is a cosmic pirate, or a cosmic mercenary. This doesn't need to be bothered!
Although the Cosmic Mercenary Guild, or the Cosmic Pirate Group, rarely openly participates in the power battles between the great powers, in history, in the dark realm under the bright side, those who see interests as more important than their lives, have not been less involved in the past!
Cosmic mercenaries by day and cosmic pirates by night! This kind of thing is not uncommon! Marquis Martinreth said slowly.
"Lord Marquis! So what to do next? Admiral Galabi asked.
"Let's do what we arranged first, and protect them! Waiting for His Majesty's new will, we will make a decision! The other thing is to keep an eye on that kid named Orlando for me, and if you find out that he is trying to blackmail Catherine into doing something, arrest him immediately, and then inform me, don't kill him yet!
If something really happens, it would be a good deal to exchange him for a promise from his uncle Odom! Although a level 3 cosmic pirate can't be on the table in Odin, the friendship of the 'Shadow King' Tokaj is different......" Marquis Martinris continued.
"Lord Marquis! I understand! After Admiral Galabi finished speaking, he saw Count Martinrith wave his hand, and he immediately stepped back respectfully.
After Admiral Galabi left the office, the Marquis of Martinreth typed in a set of numbers in front of the miniature brain at the desk in front of him.
Soon, the holographic projection screen in his office immediately turned on, and soon after, a figure shrouded in black robes appeared inside.
Marquis Martinris, after seeing this figure, immediately stood up from his desk and seriously performed a galactic empire aristocratic etiquette. Then, said:
"Worship your lord! Hello! â
"What's the matter with me?" The black-robed figure said.
"Worship your lord!" The Shadow Lord's Tokaj, there is a subordinate named Odom, did you know? Marquis Martinreth said respectfully.
"Tokaj! Call Odom's men, I think ......"
After a while.
"Yes, I remember the little cub. He's the child of one of Tokaj's former concubines, and the last time I saw him, he was only 3 years old and was urinating in my arms! What, little Martin, do you have any holiday with Tokaj? Is it an imperial business? Or is it your personal matter? The black-robed figure continued.
"Worship your lord! How dare I have a holiday with Tokaj, the 'Lord of Shadows'! Now Odom has a nephew named Auckland, and Catherine, the eldest lady of the Earl of Kate's family, came to Odin together!
When I sent the people below to check Orlando's identity, I found out about his relationship with his uncle Odom and the 'Lord of Shadows', Lord Tokaj, so I wanted to ask you about it. Marquis Martinreth said hurriedly.
"Oh? Little Martin, is there such a thing? Talk to me! â
