Chapter 170: The Ricktown Man
Between the Sunburn Empire and the St. Prory's Star Zone, in addition to the Chakra Star Zone separated by the original Fourth War Zone of the Federation, there is also a colonial star sector called Ricktown.
The Ricktown Star District has three manned stars, seven or eight barren mineral stars of different sizes, a population of about 10 billion, and is not rich in resources, and its pillar economy is biased towards agriculture and animal husbandry. Somewhat different from other colonial star regions of the original Federation, the humans in this star sector do not seem to be very interested in advanced technology, and the people are simple and prefer the lifestyle of ancient humans.
On the three planets, life in Ricktown seems to be uneventful but indescribably comfortable. Any visitor from the extraterrestrial zone will be overwhelmed by the slow and comfortable pace of life of the Ricktown people when they set foot in the Ricktown Star Zone.
To give a simple example, in that era of highly developed technology, people have long been accustomed to using highly maneuverable hovering locomotives to get out of the house. However, on Star Lobito, the capital of the Ricktown Star District, it's hard to see hovering locomotives flying all over the sky. Even in Santa Fe, the capital city, which is only about a quarter of the size of the other star sector capitals, it takes about half an hour on average for you to encounter a hovering locomotive.
In Ricktown, where agriculture and animal husbandry are highly developed, people's favorite mode of transportation will definitely surprise you. Just look at the wide and smooth locomotive lanes in the capital, Santa Fe, and the heaps of cow and horse dung surrounded by flies, you can guess something.
That's right, the people of Ricktown actually like to use horse-drawn carts and ox carts to get out of the house!
In a word, this country, formerly the colonial government of Ricktown, has a rather tacit retro mentality from top to bottom. From the pots and pans used in the daily life of every civilian, to the weapons and equipment in the army, the stubbornness of the Ricktown people can even make people laugh.
However, even so, the other shili did not dare to underestimate this nascent country.
After all, in addition to a reasonably sized space fleet, the proudest capital of the Ricktown army is the extremely large number of ground forces. In the ground forces of the Ricktown Army, although there are not many advanced tank mechs, the individual combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Ricktown Army is definitely above that of other Shili armies. Especially the various cold weapon fighting skills, it is said that there was once an alien sector mission that wanted to see the skills of the soldiers of the Ricktown Army. As a result, the ten guards of the mission used daggers to join forces against a bare-handed Ricktown sergeant, but they were defeated.
In the Ricktown Mission that Haoyi met when he was on the home planet of Earth, the three guards with extraordinary skills were from the most elite Eagle Falcon Legion in Ricktown.
Even so, in the end, Ricktown's Shili is also the bottom of the many colonial star districts, especially after St. Prory's annexation of the Sharon Star District, Ricktown has become the weakest Liliang among the many warlords.
It is probably because the leaders of Ricktown have long realized that sooner or later, their own quaint star district will become fish on other people's chopping boards. So in order to survive tenaciously in this shijie of the jungle, the mission that Ricktown seeks to form an alliance has long been flying all over the shijie.
However, with the exception of the Third Shijie Alliance, the missions sent out by Ricktown had limited success. Of course, the final formation of the Third Shijie Alliance should actually be attributed to Hardy's Sharon Empire, and Ricktown's mission only played the role of initiator at best.
When Haoyi annexed the Sharon Star District in one fell swoop, Ricktown finally panicked. The original idle and comfortable pace of life is no longer seen in the Ricktown government, and there are officials at all levels who are crazy and busy running around. Regardless of the rank and so on, the common thought shared by all was that Ricktown's situation had reached its most critical moment. Thirdly, the Shijie Alliance has collapsed, and any Shili has the Shili that annexed Ricktown in one fell swoop. It's just that in the face of this piece of fat, everyone doesn't dare to be the first to reach out.
As a result, the gloom of the signs of death began to permeate the streets and alleys of Ricktown's planets, and the people of Ricktown could no longer be as leisurely as before.
On this day, in the Supreme Shogunate (the headquarters of the Ricktown Army) located on the planet Star Lobito, the capital of Ricktown, a terrible alarm suddenly sounded.
"General Qiyu, an urgent call has been sent from the outer space defense network, XX, YY Star Domain suddenly appeared a large Riyan Empire fleet, the purpose is unknown, and the other party has not sent a reply to our inquiry for a long time!"
In the shogunate command center, an old general with a gray beard was frowning and listening to the report of his staff officers. Xue Yue, the supreme commander of the Ricktown Army, was born in the army and was a battle-hardened veteran.
"Where is our fleet now?" Xue Yue, who was a little ignorant in his old eyes, pointed to a paper star field map on the desktop and asked in a deep voice.
In the supreme shogunate of the Ricktown Army, it is not that there is no holographic three-dimensional star field map, but this old general adheres to the style of the Ricktown people, and prefers the ancient paper marching map, even in the face of this modern space war, he has always been like this.
"Our fleet is currently divided into four patrol fleets, all of which are currently on the border of the star field. It is very likely that the Sun Yan Empire has already torn apart, and the outer space defense network of our star region, so it will directly jump into the interior of our star region. As for how the Imperial Army tore through our army's defense net, his subordinates are ordering someone to investigate it in detail! ”
"Closer inspection? At this juncture, do you still have a fart? Do you have to wait until someone puts the muzzle on your chimney, and then you say, hey, wait, let me find out how you came out? Xue Yue shrugged his eyebrows and sneered coldly unceremoniously, making his staff officers blushy and speechless for a while.
"Alright, let's talk nonsense with those guys who like to play with high technology! The order was given, the whole army was ready for combat at the first level, and the fleet immediately turned back to the capital star! Warning the Solar Empire's fleet that if they don't immediately withdraw from our sector within an hour, it will be considered an invasion! ”
Xue Yue clenched his old fist and slammed it on the paper map in front of him, blowing his white beard and saying sharply: "Tell them that I, tens of millions of officers and soldiers in Ricktown, are not afraid of these cowards armed to the teeth!" ”
"Yes, General!" Regarding the arrogance of the commander-in-chief, the young staff officer could only shake his head and sigh silently in his heart, and then turned around to convey the order.
As the supreme commander of the Ricktown Army, Xue Yue's thinking has been almost rigid and rigid, and it seems that he is still stuck in the ancient two-dimensional war stage. Of course, there is no justification for his arrogance. If you ignore the powerful superiority of the enemy in space, the Ricktown Army's large in-depth combat force can indeed give the invaders a headache.
Even the Alien Worm, known for its brutal killing, did not have much advantage in the face of the powerful Ricktown Army's ground forces after invading the Ricktown Star Sector.
A moment later, the staff officer hurriedly returned to the command center and reported to Xue Gao, who was leaning on a large wooden chair with his eyes closed, and reported in a loud voice: "General Qiyu, the fleet of the Riyan Empire has not responded to the warning issued by our army for a long time!" Now, they're heading towards the star field where our planet three is located! It is expected that in an hour, the fleet of the Riyan Empire will arrive in the outer space area of Planet Three! ”
"Oh? It seems that the little white-faced emperor is planning to attack us! Xue Yue sat up from the wooden chair when he heard the sound, and a fine light flashed in his seemingly cloudy old eyes, his old eyebrows furrowed, and he waved his hand and ordered the staff officer in a deep voice: "Immediately order our fleet to rush to Planet Three!" However, without my orders, they are not allowed to attack the Solar Flame Empire's space fleet without permission! Tell the fleet commander that when I give him the order, monitor the actions of the fleet of the Sunflame Empire at all times, and even if they launch an attack on my planet three, they are not allowed to fire the first shot without permission! ”
"Huh? This, general, I don't quite understand! The staff officer asked in surprise.
"Think about it with your head, young man, General Ben is by no means a real old fool!" Xue Yue smiled mysteriously, and said lightly with a cold glint in his eyes: "The gap between the strength of our fleet and the fleet of the Riyan Empire, General Ben knows very well in his heart!" What I want is for the Sunflame Empire to taste the power of my Ricktown Army's powerful ground forces first! ”
