Chapter 5: Black History

"Poof" Renault turned his head suddenly, and the liquor that had just reached his throat sprayed on the floor in a gulp, almost choking. "What's the matter? How is it a game again? Renault's eyes widened, and he also glared at Horner with an unbearable and helpless expression, "You really poked the old Hearthstone with Mira?" And as a bet? ”

"It's not just a poke of Hearthstone." The three people at the table turned around with a sudden voice and looked at Miro, who was walking towards with a smile on his face. Kaczynski.

"Bartender! A glass of Maitai beer, 39 degrees thank you! Kaczynski took the drink to the last empty seat at the table, he put the beer on the table and straightened the yellow duckbill that had been on his head, and after making sure that he was satisfied, he looked at the two commanders and smiled: "Matt has won!" ”

"Win? I thought I was losing, then" Renault was clearly attracted by the words, and his curiosity could not help but increase further.

"Mira. Han gambled and paid the bet, and helped us as promised, but "Kaczynski apparently ignored the black-faced Horner, completely ignoring him facing the two commanders, who was trying to reveal all of the pony's black history. "There is also a condition attached, which is that Horner and Mira should be married."

"I wonder what if Horner loses?" Frank forced a smile and said.

"Don't say it, there's really such a thing, if you lose Maite and marry Mira, ha~~" Kaczynski couldn't help but slap the table with his hand.

"What's the difference?" Renault opened his hands in astonishment and looked at Horner, whose face was already black.

"If I had known that the stakes were like this, I would never have played in this game." Young Horner argued impatiently, but this only made the smile of the audience even bigger.

"That's what you said last time!" Kaczynski retorted, laughing profusely.

"I" Horner was speechless.

"Good thing, pony! The best of both worlds! Frank patted him on the shoulder and smiled.

"Alas! It's hard to look back on. Don't make fun of me! Horner, who was already bitter melon-faced, was depressed.

But Kaczynski didn't want to get the story out of it. "Finally, all of us Rangers attended Matt's wedding, and you don't know how lively it was, Mira. Although Han is a woman, she is righteous enough, not only providing us Rangers with the resources to repair the 'Hyperion' in full, but also with enough standing materials, and also sending two battle cruisers to us, these are all free pay, tsk~~~ Horner sold it for a good price. I'm all red-eyed! ”

"Dirt !!" Matt's face was as dark as Cade's.

Frank and Renault looked at the depressed Matt, and they could imagine how depressed and helpless Horner would be on the day of the wedding reception.

"Okay, stop, that's the end! That's right, Matt. After laughing, Frank raised his hand, looked at Horner, and said, "One important question is, what's going on with that science ship?" And how did you know about Shakuras, say here. If you hadn't arrived in time, we'd be doomed. ”

As soon as he said this, Renault also remembered and couldn't help but look at Horner. The latter was eager to put the topic aside, which was the result he wanted most.

Horner immediately became focused, briefly organizing his words. "The person who communicated before was called 'Jack. Ramsey', who describes himself as an expert in space archaeology, works for an institution that does not want to be named. ”

"Jack. Ramsey? Frank muttered the name. He seemed to feel that the name was somewhat familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember, who was this? I kept searching for information about this person in my mind, but I didn't find the answer he wanted.

"Nope! Matt, he was obviously lying, the science ship, which represents the pinnacle of human technology, is not something that ordinary institutions can have. Renault emphasized.

"You mean the Tyranid Empire?" Frank looked at Renault, who nodded nondeniably, "I can't think of any so-called institution other than the Empire that can have such advanced ships." ”

This explanation seems plausible.

"But he said he knew about you." Horner Road.

"What?" Renault was surprised.

"I didn't believe it at first, but when he told him Al's coordinates, I had to take his word seriously, so I made a deal with them." Horner said.

"Aren't you afraid of being a trap for the Empire?" Reynolds apparently didn't agree with his emotional decision.

"You know me, sir! I left you behind in the El, there will never be a second time, the Rangers can't live without you. Horner said righteously, not feeling guilty of his reckless behavior, but firm.

"Alas! I don't know how to say hello. Renault shook his head and smiled, he could see that the young man in front of him was not flattering or lying, and it was a great honor to have such a deputy.

"What deal?" Frank was intrigued.

"They were very interested in the information we had about the Protoss and the Zerg, and they were willing to use it as a bargaining chip, and at the same time, the news that we had strengthened and modified the existing battle cruisers in Dead Man's Harbor was leaked, and he also asked us for the blueprints of the enhanced second-generation Behemoth-class battle cruisers, thanks to the two wonderful engineers Miro and Swan, I originally wanted to use this chip to make a deal with Mira, although I didn't use it in the end." Horner said.

"I see." Renault snapped and nodded his head.

"Can't think of this' Jack. Ramsey's even knows about Al? Even know about the world like Shakulas, which does not have coordinates on the star map. Frank muttered to himself in surprise.

"Who can be without a secret, I think he said that he is a cosmic archaeologist, which is quite credible, and it is not surprising that this kind of person who likes to run around the universe knows what we don't know." Kaczynski took a sip of beer, casually accosted, then got up and said, "You talk, I'll remove the bartender first!" Can I pay on credit? What the? No? Then I'll invite you to have a drink, ha~~! Isn't it enough buddy? Remember that you have to count mine, don't shirk it, then put it on the account together, and pay it in full next time, so happily decided"

The bartender looked stunned at the fact that he had just taken a sip of wine in his hand, and watched Kaczynski leave the bar in a daze, and after reacting, he yelled loudly at the door valve that was not closed: "I will never fool you again next time!" I promise!!! With that, he drank the whole glass of wine in one go.

"The Rangers are really hard, sir, the battle just now has consumed a total of seventy percent of the standing supplies, and the remaining supplies can only support three hundred hours of operation." Horner happened to hear Miro's voice, and immediately thought of this, and couldn't help but say worriedly.

"I know that too." Renault's head suddenly grew at the thought of this, but he swore and promised: "Don't worry! I'll take care of it. ”

"What's next?" Renault turned his head to look at Frank.

"You have to find a place to stay before you can do anything else." Frank thought for a moment and said, "Mar. How about Sarah? ”

"Mar. Sara? Renault was obviously a little surprised, he was no stranger to the world, he and Frank met on this planet, and were rescued from prison by each other.

"Ever since the alien invasion of Mar. Sara to the Protoss to purify the entire planet since Mal. Sarah's barren world on the edge of the empire is already deserted, and Mengsk is now busy consolidating his power, focusing entirely on the main planetary world, Mar. There's no time for a place like Sara where birds don't, at least not yet. That's exactly what we chose, Mar. Although Sara is a little barren, she still has some resources, and with the alien invasion and the purification of the planet by the Protoss, we can completely occupy the entire planet. Sara is no man's land, and could be used as a place for the Rangers to settle down at this moment. Frank analyzed them one by one, and Renault was clearly very much in favor of his idea.

"It seems that there is no place better than Mar. Sara is a better place for us to stay. Renault paused and said with a smile: "Besides! That's the Rangers' hometown, Marr. Sara. It's decided, let's go home! ”
