Chapter 9: The Journey to Freedom
Brian paid the price for his crimes and mistaken loyalty.
In the control cabin, everyone looked at the fallen corpse in front of Feng Yuan, the head in the robot's hand, and a panic began to pervade. The main feeling of oppression comes from a team of robots lined up next to the two women. No one wants to be the next Brian.
"Everyone, I don't want to force you to surrender by force, but I need this starship, the Empress of the Sun has now been occupied by me, those who are willing to stay will become enemies of the empire from now on, those who are not willing to stay, I will give you a lifeboat, you can return to the queen's side." Feng Yuan told her true intentions in one breath, but she couldn't predict how the crew members of the starship would react.
Ai Yuan was obviously more nervous than her.
A dozen people in the control cabin began to talk, and basically did not recover from the riot just now. Feng Yuan's words had been broadcast to every corner of the Empress Brilliant Sun through the ship's broadcast, and most people panicked.
There are always stubborn people. After a terrifying silence, a person stepped forward in the control cabin, "With all due respect, Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess, if the entire crew of the Empress of the Brilliant Sun unites, you may not be able to win!" "It was the Great Vice-Sacred Calendar that spoke.
"If we resist to the end, you won't get anything good!" Another first mate, Riga, also said arrogantly. The Holy Calendar and Riga are Brian's direct subordinates and admirers of the Queen, and of course they can't allow what Feng Yuan does.
"Do you have the determination to break the net?" This was expected by Feng Yuan, and the two sides were at a stalemate. But she's still sure.
"Yes...... You can try it......" Obviously, both of them were frightened by Feng Yuan's cold aura, and they shouldn't just treat her as a little girl. But they still want to hold on.
"In that case, a lot of people will die." Feng Yuan said very calmly, but every word gave people oppression. She was always watching the reactions of the crowd.
The eyes of the battle robot began to light up with a faint blue light, which was the light of killing, and also represented the bottom limit of the sealing primordial.
Ai Yuan even felt that the person in front of him was neither Feng Yuan nor Fengya.
This sentence, coupled with the sound of the micro-gear twisting inside the mechanical arm of the combat robot, did play a great shocking role.
"The Sacred Calendar! Riga! Do you want to repeat Brian's mistakes? The lives of more than a thousand people on board, how can you ignore them so much! A man walked up to the two first mates and shouted angrily.
"But, she ......"
"Nothing but everyone has the right to choose. Now, everyone listens to the princess, stay or leave, and choose for yourself! This sentence was broadcast by the whole ship.
Feng Yuan looked incredulously at the man who was standing in the center of the crowd and talking, he was about fifty years old, and he felt a little familiar to her. Of course, this is Feng Ya's memory, and Feng Yuan has never seen this person, although he was in the same boat.
The man noticed that Feng Yuan was looking at him and smiled, "It seems that sooner or later, the queen will lose her heart, and even her two biological daughters have betrayed her." Your Royal Highness, I am the commander of the mechanical cabin of the Empress of the Brilliant Sun, and I am willing to stay. ”
After hearing this, Feng Yuan looked at the person more carefully.
Seeing Feng Yuan's puzzled expression, the man who claimed to be the commander of the mechanical cabin smiled: "The eldest princess should have forgotten me, my name is Dekai, and I used to serve in the queen's escort team...... The last time I saw you was at your 10th birthday party, and it's been 11 years now. Dekai explained, eleven years, it has become really beautiful.
Feng Yuan pretended to nod. Even Feng Ya may not remember you, let alone being ten years old at the time. However, she is still a little interested in this Dekai's past.
"The deputy commander of the control module is willing to stay!"
"The technical team of the control module is willing to stay!"
"All the members of the weapon bay are willing to stay!"
"The mechanical cabin maintenance team is willing to stay!"
"The mechanical cabin security team is willing to stay!"
……
In the end, 606 of the 1,400 people on the Empress chose to stay, and they knew full well that their choice would eventually be classified as treason. The rest of the people crowded onto the lifeboat in panic. Before the ship, the holy calendar said to Feng Yuan fiercely, "This is the queen's starship, sooner or later, you will return to the original owner!" ”
Feng Yuan's heart was shocked, she knew that this person would definitely become her most difficult opponent in the future.
"That's right, Haicheng!" Ai Yuan suddenly thought of something and rushed towards the tail cabin.
Looking at her back, Feng Yuan's heart became very calm, and she wanted to admit that once upon a time, in the days when there was only him and her, he did have a fantasy, a fantasy of taking care of her for a lifetime. Nowadays, that's just a fantasy.
"Princess, you shouldn't have let them go." An old crew member said worriedly.
"Why?" Feng Yuan is incomprehensible.
"The Queen won't let them go."
Feng Yuan fell silent for a while after hearing this. She was helpless.
"Those bastards in the power compartment actually ruined all the curvature engines!" Dekai reported sadly.
There is only one purpose for this. Without the curvature engine, the starship could not travel at the speed of light, which was equivalent to being trapped in the 18th sector forever, and it would be very easy for the pursuers to catch up.
Although this was not expected by Feng Yuan, she was quite calm.
Ai Yuan walked back alone in silence, and she shook her head at Feng Yuan.
Feng Yuan immediately understood that Haicheng also got on the lifeboat.
"Why wouldn't he stay?" Ai Yuan couldn't hold back her tears and fell into Feng Yuan's arms and cried.
Because, because he thinks you're dead. Probably so.
Everyone was silent when they watched this scene, just thinking that an older sister was comforting their younger sister. But why can that sadness penetrate so deeply?
Feng Yuan sat in the same place where Brian had sat under the gaze of everyone, and she paused for a moment and began to announce:
"The name of this starship has been changed to Freespace!"
The lights of the entire ship dimmed instantly, and then turned on again, and the system voice was automatically announced, "The name change is successful, and the identity of the new captain is being confirmed...... Confirmed successfully, the new captain - Twilight Grace. ”
Everyone cheered. Feng Yuan and Ai Yuan felt a burst of emotion in their hearts. It is not easy to get to this point, and I dare not think of it.
"Please confirm the new course."
"Additional Zone!" Feng Yuan announced.
Additional area? Everyone looked at Fengyuan together, it was a more barren place than the Nineteenth District, to put it simply, it was the edge of the galaxy, and the distribution of civilization was zero. What are you doing flying there?
Because it is the only region in the galaxy that is not bound by the Empire, it is the best destination for the pursuit of freedom. This is the main reason why Feng Yuan set the final destination in the additional zone.
"I also want to declare that on this ship, there is no longer a hierarchy, I have also betrayed the empire, I no longer enjoy the status of a princess, just call me by my name in the future." After the change, people kept calling her 'princess', which made it difficult for Feng Yuan, who still had a male mind, to accept.
"It's not good, you're ...... after all"
"Even if I expect a little from you. Feng Yuan replied skillfully, she didn't want to continue to dwell on this issue, "Everyone, do you still have any doubts about my arrangement?" ”
No one said anything more, but it was clear to everyone that the harmony that the princess brought was something Brian could not possibly bring.
"Very good, Ma'an, check if there is a supply station in the eighteenth district of this route, and send me the data."
"Yes, Princess. Ah no, graceful. As soon as Maan finished speaking, he was immediately kicked by Dekai.
"Hua Hui, a single-channel call with the Lost Princess."
"Yes."
Everyone was curious about what Princess Fengya would say to her sister.
Feng Yuan was a little distracted, she had to tell her this sentence. I'm sorry, Your Highness the Princess, but although we all seek freedom, we are going in different directions......
The Lost Princess.
Thea turned off single-frequency calling. Lost in thought.
"Rafimi, they really 'repelled' the Empress of the Sun!"
"Princess, we underestimated them before."
"Well, let's keep our promises."
"I always thought you wouldn't take it seriously!"
"Destroy the Allogeneic Brain Transplant ......"
