"Ji Yun, Alfie. What do you think of this Titan Fortress mothership-class airship? Qianhang asked.

The black-haired young man was about to answer, but the silver-haired young man next to him preemptively said, "Knowingly ask." The corners of his mouth rose on one side, and a sinister grin appeared: "The mothership-type airship developed by the Windwind Society, the last one was in service during the Dawn War sixty years ago. After absorbing the essence of 60 years of scientific research, countless engineers have been mobilized to join the design, and the most advanced equipment and the best skilled workers have been assembled. How can such a finished product be disappointing? ”

When Qianhang heard this, he turned to the black-haired young man again and asked, "Ji Yun, what do you think?" ”

Compared to his friend Alfie, the black-winged man named Ji Yun replied much more indifferently: "I feel that I am one step closer to destroying the Qingyun Empire." ”

As soon as the words fell, the door to the bridge opened again.

Dire, still dressed in the exaggerated and gorgeous leather gown, with a dark and deep aura, stepped through the door calmly.

"Dire ......," Chihang beckoned, "and welcome aboard the Titan Fortress." ”

Ji Yun and Alfie also turned around and nodded to the comer.

"New ship...... It's huge. Dire said lightly, "Do you have a map?" ”

"Maps?" Alfie asked, "Map of the ship?" ”

Silence is an affirmation.

Qian Hang transferred the electronic drawings from the computer on the bridge and sent them over.

In a moment, Alfie continued: "What do you want a map? Could it be...... Burst...... Aha! The silver-haired young man burst out laughing, pointed to the Dire, and said, "Dressed so coolly, and so handsome, you can get lost in your own boat...... No wonder you, the attendee, came later than me, the one who took care of the aftermath! Ahaha - man, is your sense of direction really enough? Aha-"

…………

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

The next second, the Dire vanished from where he stood.

Alfie only felt a chill in his back, and the cold dagger was already against his throat.

"You seem to be pretty confident in your jokes?" Dire's icy voice sounded behind him.

A cold sweat broke out on Elfie's forehead, and she swallowed her saliva with difficulty.

He wanted to say something to lighten the mood, but he opened his mouth in vain, but he couldn't make any sound like a fish at the bottom of the sea.

Seeing this, Qianhang came out to play a round: "Okay, Dire." Put down your weapons. ”

Ji Yun also mocked Alfi mercilessly: "Self-inflicted guy...... Don't hurry up and surrender? ”

"It was me who was wrong!" The hero doesn't suffer the loss in front of him, and Alfie struggles to admit it, "I'm wrong big brother!" ”

Dire originally intended to scare the other party, but seeing that Qianhang came forward to stop it, Alfie also bowed his head and admitted his mistake, so naturally there was no need to pretend anymore. Then he snorted coldly, withdrew his hand and retreated, and the dagger disappeared into the sleeve without leaving a trace.

Qianhang's gaze swept over the three of them in turn, and the voice changed to a crack and hoarse voice sounded in the bridge: "Lucifer! We invite everyone to reunite here today, first of all, to celebrate the delivery of the Titan Fortress. As everyone knows, this airship is a rare mothership-class airship in the world, and it took three years from the announcement of construction to the completion and delivery. ”

"Three years later, the preparation work is nearing completion, and now the mothership has been delivered. In order to reclaim the territory that belongs to humanity from the damned winged people, our comrades have been lurking in the empire for many years, enduring humiliation, lying on their back, and even sacrificing their lives. Now, that moment is finally coming, and we have entered the final stage of the 100-meter sprint! ”

"Don't forget that we have become evil, and we will never look back when we embark on the path of revenge! Do not forget the sacrifices of our comrades, whose sacrifices will eventually be rewarded! Don't forget our noble ideals, which are always more important than life! ”

After Chihang finished saying this, the door of the bridge opened from the outside again.

As if he had been prepared, he shifted his gaze to the man who walked in.

The people who came in were the same as the four people on the bridge, with pitch-black wings on their backs. He had brown hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and well-rounded features, and was dressed in pitch-black battle armor with metal handmail wrapped around his forearm. If Ji Yun's figure is like lean and powerful, strong and toned like a long-trained athlete; The newly entered Blackwing was the undisputed fighter, with the piercing eyes of a man who lives by fighting and putting his life on the board all day long, and a body that could move easily even under heavy armor.

Seeing this man walk in, Dire, who usually doesn't smile and speaks coldly, has a look of confusion in his eyes.

The man walked to the bottom of the steps below the captain's position and stood still, with an unruly look on his face, like a lone wolf that had suddenly rushed into a pack of lions.

"The time is just right, now to introduce our new comrades to you-" Qianhang said, "the fifth Lucifer, Lei Yan." ”

"Is it really you?" Dire was the first to respond, "Aren't you the renegade primitive?" It seems to be ...... Playing black boxing? ”

"Primitive? Imperials? Alfie also asked curiously, "Are you saying that he betrayed the Empire and joined us?" Isn't it reliable? ”

In the face of his own people's doubts, Qianhang seemed to have no intention of defending Lei Wei at all.

And Lei Yan met the Dire's questioning gaze without fear: "I did have a former Empire, I don't deny that. But no one can choose where they were born, can they? ”

His gaze swept over the faces of his future companions and continued, "You have all been to the Empire, and you should know that there are no humans in that country, only the original people who work for the Empire. No one wants to be inferior at birth, and so do I! Lei Yan patted his chest excitedly, his hand armor and armor thumping, "I have lived in ignorance for 22 years, and I have struggled to survive under the oppression of the winged people for 22 years...... How many of you, like me, have seen the corruption and ugliness of the empire with my own eyes!? ”

Every word he uttered was loud and full of hostility towards the Empire.

Alfie looked at him with strange eyes, as if she were looking at a beast that had just been released from its cage.

Dire snorted through his nose, "Anyone can say pretty things." You'd better prove yourself with your actions. Then he looked at him no more.

Only Ji Yun, who had not spoken, walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Everyone here has a reason to hate the empire, which is the basic condition for becoming Lucifer. ”

Qian Hang cleared his throat, letting everyone's attention hit him, and then spoke: "Everyone, before taking revenge on the Empire, there is still the last enemy who stands in the way of revenge, and it must be impossible for everyone to forget!" This revenge against the Empire and the Winged People should have been launched five years ago. However, in order to accumulate his own political capital, a cunning hypocrite secretly obstructed and killed Lucifer Zero, which was modeled after the demon god Satan, which caused the complete failure of the revenge plan at that time, and forced us to re-prepare for five full years before the plan was carried out again. ”

When he said this, Alfie and Ji Yun both had resentful looks on their faces.

Especially Ji Yun, his right hand was clenched into a fist, and his nails were almost digging into the flesh.

Qian Hang looked at the expressions of several of them with satisfaction, and continued: "With the destruction of the Holy Revenge Plan as the capital, that shameless clown who jumped off the beam actually ascended to the first position of the Human United Alliance. Brutally killing his compatriots, betraying scientific research workers who are dedicated to the country, bowing down to the forces of the winged people, and using false words to deceive the people, the sins he bears cannot be repaid even by death! ”

"That's right!" Ji Yun echoed, "Death is cheaper for him!" ”

"So, we're going to smash his policies and make him himself a pawn in his revenge plan!" Qian Hang said word by word, "Roy. Grant, he must be paid in blood! ”

"Blood debt and blood payment!" Ji Yun roared angrily.

"Blood debt, blood ......," Alfie licked the corners of her mouth.

Dire tilted his head to the side, seemingly unwilling to participate in the discussion.

Lei Yan's eyes were firm, and his fighting spirit was burning in his eyes.

Finally, Qian Hang took a deep breath, returned to his calm and cold mood, and said slowly: "So, let's get started. In order to put Roy. Mr. Grant sent the Way to Yellow Springs, paved the way to the battle of revenge with his blood, and I proclaim that the 'Black Shield Project' has been launched. ”

"The world belongs to mankind." Ji Yun placed his right hand across his chest and saluted a military salute of the Human United Alliance.

"The world belongs to mankind." Alfie followed suit.

"The world belongs to mankind." Lei Yan's words were full of fighting spirit.

"The world belongs to mankind." Dire's tone was as calm as water as ever, uneventful.

"This is the next plan of action-" Qian Hang picked up a stack of materials from the console in front of the captain's seat and handed it out to everyone, "I wish you all good luck." ”

The four Blackwingmen, or Lucifer as they should be called, each took a plan of action and walked out of the bridge one by one.

Only when Alfie turned around, Qianhang stopped him: "Alfi, you stay, I have something to ask you." ”

The silver-haired young man took the information in his right hand, turned around and walked to the communication seat next to the captain's seat and sat down. The position of the communication seat is still shorter than the captain's seat, but it is already higher than the aisle, and the two can barely look at eye level.

"What's the matter? Top dog. Alfie turned her chair to face Qianhang.

"In the report you submitted last time, it was written that a total of five 'black nests' were ......taken by people from the Imperial Military Intelligence Service," the masked man clasped his hands to his chest, "Five places exposed in a month?" Is it true? That's more than the number of exposures in the last two years. ”

"What are you lying to?" Alfie pursed her lips, "The hiding place of the 'Black Nest' is not irregular, and if you really want to check it, you can definitely find it." ”

"How could it be ......" Qianhang's tone was incredulous.

"How could it not be? Before, it was because you blocked the intelligence and used money to deal with local relations, plus ......" Alfie stretched out a hand and counted them one by one, "The black nest has been dismantled in detail enough in terms of management and division of labor, and the workers on each link can't see the whole picture of the matter, so they won't have any doubts about the whole process; The empire did not pay enough attention to the original groups themselves, and nearly 40 years have passed since the unrest of the 'Black Independence Day', and the investigation and punishment policy on the smuggling wing has also been loosened. To sum up, the 'Black Nest Project' has been implemented unharmed for so many years. ”

"Even if you can really check ......it," Qianhang raised a hand and touched his chin and said, "Even if it can really be checked, it shouldn't cause such a big reaction from the MIA." Anyway, it's also an agency led by the Winged People, why should you be so concerned about the affairs of the original people? ”

"So it's not normal." Alfie said, "You don't believe it, the person who has to find out about this is actually an idle ***, pure-blooded wingman nobleman, named Carl. Orlando. ”

"Carl?" Qian Hang said movingly, "Why did he get involved again......

"Again?" Alfie was also surprised, "Why do you say 'again'?" ”

"Before you took over, the first 'black nest' was killed by him." Qian Hang thought for a moment and asked, "Are you sure that he is the one who tracked down the 'Black Nest'?" ”

"Of course. The golden retriever, the red eyes, and the expensive custom red dress are just walking normally as if they were swaggering through the market...... There's no one else but him, right? ”

Qian Hang fell into thought again and said in a low voice: "Is it because of ...... Pride...... Is it? ”

"I don't know how you messed with him." Alfei said, "Can a case of official investigation hurt people's self-esteem? The Winged Aristocrats are really sensitive animals...... Speaking of which, aren't those people who are born winged all snobbery who are good at power, corrupt and wealth-accumulating? If that Carl is really dedicated to his job and must follow the clue of the black nest, I really admire him. ”

"Now is not the time to admire. Black Nest's matter, how far do you think he has found out now? I don't want to roll over here. ”

The chair that Alfie sits on can be rotated from side to side. He sat on it, twisting left and right, and explained in a seemingly unserious but fluent manner: "He must know about the Smuggler's Wing, and he thinks that it has nothing to do with the Dark Merchant. Blake has a connection. Recently, he has been tracking down the purchase channels of 'Trickster', hoping to connect with the shipment channels of 'Black Nest' and directly arrest a big smuggling gang. ”

"Hmm...... If that's the way of thinking, that's fine. ”

"But ......"

"Huh?"

"I don't know if it's because Dire showed his face in front of his original people last time, and he's already alerted to the affairs of the Blackwings." Alfie continued, "I have obviously lost some bait and deliberately leaked information about the channels through which the smuggling wing flowed into the black market, but he is not satisfied, and he has to continue to investigate along another line. ”

"Look for what?" What is the connection between 'Black Nest' and 'Black Winged Man'? ”

"Hmm."

Qianhang sighed: "Could it be that he got information related to the 'Black Wing Man'?" ”

"How?" Alfie asked, "There have only been a few contacts between him and the Blackwings, and the two Blackwings under the Dire command have been recovered from one dead and one maimed, and their bodies have been recovered; The last few times the black nest was taken care of by me, and it was impossible to leave any clues for the people of the empire. What's more, the only difference between the black-winged man and the winged man is the color of the wings, and normal people will think it's nothing special, right? Just like the human skin color is black and white......"

Qianhang shook his head: "Investigate five 'black nests' in a month, and according to your report, they are still in different cities...... This kind of investigation and frequency of sorties would take a lot of work time even if I were to take care of it myself...... Carl is too attached to the 'Black Nest'. Unless you get the information of the Blackwingers, there is no reason to bite the hell like this...... It's really no good......"

"Then how do you think he got the information about the Blackwing?" Alfie asked rhetorically.

"I don't know."

“……”

"Very few people know the information of the Blackwings. There's no way it's going to leak out of us. ”

“…… What the hell is that? ”

"......" Alfie was noncommittal.

Qianhang lifted the mask on his face and pulled his emotions out of his thoughts: "Let's not drill the horns of the bull ourselves." At present, the one who is clinging to this matter is just a rich second generation who is incompetent. He has no real power in the military and no right to speak. If you really think he's in trouble, kill him. Don't influence the 'black box plan' that follows. ”

Alfie nodded in agreement, "I don't want to alarm those Origin Wingers, but in order to make sure that the plan is foolproof, this is the only way to do it now." ”
