The entire "engagement ceremony" lasted almost three hours.

In addition to the old priest at the beginning, according to the procedures that only exist in the formal marriage ceremony, he consulted Haoyi and Erin, and there were many customs and rituals unique to the planet Tikru during the period. For example, the groom will personally kneel on the stage and propose to the bride in front of hundreds of "relatives and friends". After giving the engagement ring, you have to carry the bride around the auditorium three times. Wait, one after another ritual procedures, Haoyi is anxious, confused, confused, and unable to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.

The ceremony is Zuihou, which is a representative of people from all walks of life in Tikru, who offered blessings to Hao Yi and Erin and sent congratulatory gifts. At the end, Bob, as the elder of the bride and groom, made a so-called speech, and delivered an impassioned speech by the way. The gist of the speech was nothing more than affirming the legitimacy of Haoyi and Erin's "big marriage", and took advantage of the situation to reveal Jeff's true face and the truth of the Felton Massacre to the news media present.

"We want to declare war on all the evil shili who are trying to strangle the republic! Revenge for our great Prime Minister Bertram and his wife! ”

Zuihou, the original "engagement ceremony" of Haoyi and Erin came to an end quite "tragically" in Bob's heroic and passionate declaration. And from beginning to end, Haoyi, as the groom, has been in a state of confusion with no owner, so that he doesn't know when he was thrown back into the super luxurious locomotive.

Of course, in addition to saying the three words "I do" at the initial marriage ceremony, throughout the engagement ceremony, Haoyi has been muttering a sentence that no one can understand, "I X that dead old bag ......"

Although Haoyi's repeated repetition of this sentence was almost inaudible in the entire noisy auditorium environment, it was still captured by some media reporters with sharp ears. As a result, on the day after the engagement ceremony, many media headlines appeared on the front page with headlines such as the following:

"Who the hell is the old bag? Why is it still unforgettable when the prime minister's daughter's husband is engaged? "The grudge between the groom and the old man!" "God-like old bag!" "The groom's engagement ceremony, I still can't forget the steamed buns I once ate with the bride......

The attention to the mysterious "old bag" almost in a short period of time exceeded the influence of Haoyi and Erin's engagement ceremony, so that for a long time, the word "old bag" became a special and mysterious term in the press.

The ceremony was followed by a grand dinner and a variety of exciting performances prepared by the staff of the Planet Management Center. Zuihou, the excited people ended this day in the history of the empire with a huge and gorgeous fireworks display. Those shows and fireworks shows are very exciting, but it's a pity that our Haoyi children's boots were put down on the wine table by waves of people who kept toasting and congratulating as early as halfway through the dinner.

"Bang, bang......" Listening to the movement of the fireworks show coming in from the holographic floor-to-ceiling window, Erin, whose pretty face was still flushed, sat on the edge of a huge and gorgeous bed, her bright eyes flashed with happiness, and she looked at Hao Yi who was lying on the bed and was asleep.

This is a wedding room that Bob asked the staff to modify in a hurry, although it is not very luxurious, but it should be all complete. In addition to the big bed, sofa, dresser, closet, and the 56-inch large holographic TV, etc., in addition to these furniture, some careful female staff also hung a big red letter in the room, and there were clusters of paper flowers on the ceiling chandelier. Under the light of the two burgundy lamps at the head of the bed, the whole wedding room is full of warmth and warmth.

According to the folklore of St. Prolis, engagement is almost as important as marriage, and in some areas, engagement is even considered more important than marriage. This is so because the people of St. Proli have always valued the commitment between people, especially the people who make promises and promises. In their opinion, engagement is the most important promise the groom makes to the bride in this life, and it is naturally a top priority. Therefore, at the engagement ceremony, there will be priests, wedding symphonies, etc., which make Haoyi misunderstand.

"Alas......" Although she and Haoyi were successfully engaged, for some reason, Erin was always unhappy in her heart. Looking at Haoyi's yellow face, which was young but had been clearly engraved with many traces of wind and frost, Erin sighed lightly for no reason. Vaguely, Erin had a hunch. The man in front of her, whom she fell in love with, does not seem to belong to her alone forever. Even though this guy always has a feeling of being out of tune from time to time, Erin can still feel that Haoyi has a special temperament. This kind of temperament did not even have her father Bertrane, and Irene, a petite woman, could not tell what kind of temperament it was.

"Perhaps, I am destined to be a part of his life!" Thinking of this, Erin's heart was filled with a trace of sourness, gently stroking Haoyi's slender yellow face with a slightly open mouth and drooling, and a sigh full of melancholy.

At this moment, the rumbling sound of fireworks outside suddenly stopped, and immediately after, a terrible and unusual alarm suddenly exploded over the base.

"What's going on?" Erin was taken aback suddenly, and just wanted to get up to see what was going on, Haoyi, who was sleeping like a dead pig next to her, suddenly sat up from the big bed as if she had been shocked, frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"I'm scared to death, you ......" Erin was so frightened by Haoyi's deceitful and abrupt behavior that her heart was about to pop out, and she just wanted to "teach" Haoyi two sentences angrily, but she heard an ugly and rapid computerized synthesized sound coming from the public address system in the room.

"All personnel immediately enter the XXX area, please note that this is not a drill! All personnel ......"

"XXX area?" Listening to the rapid computer-synthesized sound over and over again, Hao Yi was stunned, obviously not knowing what the so-called XXX area was.

"It's an underground emergency evacuation zone!" Erin had followed her father to this secret base, and she had heard her uncle Bob mention the so-called emergency shelter area, her pretty face suddenly changed slightly, and she said nervously: "Something must be wrong!" ”

"Let's go!" Hearing Erin's explanation, Hao Yi frowned, and hurriedly put a suit full of wine on his body, and grabbed Erin's little hand and ran out of the door without saying anything.

As soon as the two of them left the door, they ran into Bob's adjutant Colonel Guo Ling running over with a few guards in a hurry.

"Miss, aunt, come with me!" Seeing Haoyi and the two coming out of the marriage room, Guo Ling's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward and hurriedly waved to the two, then turned around and walked outside. "Uncle" is a new name given to Hao Yi by Bob's subordinates, although it has a bit of a feudal society, but it is the most reflective of the relationship between Hao Yi and Bob Erin's family. Bob's cronies like Guo Ling naturally call Haoyi this way.

"Colonel, what the hell is going on?" While being guarded by several guards and running out, Haoyi asked in a deep voice. Although he was dazed and drunk at the dinner, the long-term harsh training and the experience of actual combat on the battlefield still made Haoyi sober up in a very short time. It was very much like the terrible roar of an air raid siren, which made Hao Yi realize that it was very likely that the enemy Shili came from nowhere to make a surprise attack.

"There was an urgent telegram from the Outer Space Guard Department saying that an unidentified space battlecruiser had forcibly broken through the cordon and destroyed several patrol boats." Sure enough, Guo Ling said with a solemn face: "Judging from the situation monitored by the long-range radar system in the base, the current direction of this battle cruiser is directly pointing at Tik City. The Commander had ordered the various air assault divisions of the nearby Wehrmacht to send warplanes to try to intercept the battlecruiser. ”

"Battlecruisers! I'm X, what about your warships? Hao Yi was shocked and asked in a lost voice. Haoyi, who had personally participated in a large-scale counterinsurgency war, naturally knew the power of that kind of space fortress. If this steel giant were to force its way through the atmosphere without threat or interference, it would be a disaster for the in-depth combat force.

"I don't know, the base command has not been able to contact the warships parked in outer space!" Guo Ling shook his head and replied.

"I'm X! If we can't get in touch at this time, won't we wait to be slaughtered? Hao Yi was stunned.

Hearing Haoyi's words, Guo Ling was silent, but kept urging everyone to hurry up.

At this moment, the base is already in chaos. The crowd that was watching the fireworks display had already dispersed and turned into a chaotic flow of people. The staff of the administrative center, dressed in all kinds of work clothes, mixed with the crowd and shouted desperately, trying to maintain the already chaotic order. Groups of marines and chariots and mechs rumbled out of the barracks in the base and quickly entered the defensive positions on the periphery of the base. Those military and political dignitaries and celebrities also got into their own convoys and drove away under the protection of their own guards and bodyguards. In less than a few minutes, the originally lively fireworks show square was only a mess of garbage.

Under the escort of Guo Ling and others, Haoyi Erin and the two got into a locomotive wrapped in thick armor, and under the cover of a team of marines, they drove through the chaotic and noisy crowd and drove straight to the nearest entrance to the underground base, and then the two were taken into an elevator that led to the depths of the underground.

Watching the numbers on the holographic screen showing the number of floors in the elevator slowly jump to three digits, Haoyi couldn't help but be secretly surprised. According to this jiashi, the overall defense of this underground base is enough to easily resist the direct bombardment of the ground above it by any of the Federation's existing high-power weapons. Unless ground troops are sent directly into the base, or the entire planet explodes, it is almost impossible to pose the slightest threat to the personnel in the base.

After getting out of the elevator, Guo Ling took the two of them around and around to the door of a control room with a big sign of "Command Center". After checking his identity and hurriedly entering, Haoyi saw that it was a huge control center divided into upper and lower floors. On the lower floor is a hall the size of a football field, and all kinds of instruments are placed everywhere, and staff members and some officers in Wehrmacht uniforms are busy shuttling back and forth in it.

In the upper left part of the hall, there is a small platform protruding from the wall, and on the small platform is a command room surrounded by transparent floor-to-ceiling glass windows, which is also full of various instruments and various command personnel.

Guo Ling and Haoyi walked through the busy staff, and when they went up to the platform command room, they saw Bob and several generals with gold stars on their shoulders gathered in front of a huge holographic command platform in the middle of the command room, watching something intently.

"Captain, Miss Erin, they're here!" Guo Ling walked up to Bob and reported respectfully.

"Oh?" Bob looked up when he heard the sound, and saw Hao Yi walking in hand with Erin, his eyes lit up, and when he was about to say hello, an officer next to him suddenly screamed.

"XXX, YYY COORDINATES FOUND ANOTHER BATTLECRUISER!"
