Chapter Ninety-Six: Emergency Meeting
A1 bridge, half an hour later.
ββ¦β¦ So what did you do that angered you? After listening to A1's words, Yang Yi asked in disbelief, "It stands to reason that most people in the Port of the Dead know that we are now Renault's people, and even if we want to move, we should be secretly stumbling, and generally speaking, we should not directly send someone to block you." How troublesome did you do? β
"Maybe they think I'm currently loyal to the Empire and an undercover agent sent by the FΓΌhrer?"
"It's not like there's no Imperial officer in the Port of the Dead." He rolled his eyes, "Some Imperial officers came to the Port of the Dead to shop for goods or relax. This is not the time when the Port of the Dead was just taking shape, and no one cared about this for a long time...... Well...... It occurred to me that ...... All right. β
Yang Yi suddenly figured out this matter, and rubbed his temples with a little headache: "It's likely that your way of speaking has made others unhappy, and then people hinted that you went to the tavern to solve the problem, and you didn't know it, so you just ignored it, and then those people wanted to do it on the street or were put down by you, or they were directly stopped by the street patrol strips...... Gan ......"
A1 didn't speak, Yang Yi only took her as a default.
"Okay, okay, okay. Anyway, people who care about this kind of don't have the strength to come to the door. Black Rose and her pirates were more than enough to cope. You've completed your mission anyway, so let's put this matter aside for now. β
He threw away the trouble that A1 had caused for the time being. Compared to the troubles of Tadarin, Queen of Blades, and the Imperial fleet, the mercenary pirates of the Port of the Dead are not particularly worried unless they are top-tier mercenary pirates like Orran and Mira Han.
He was now more concerned about the failure of the cover-up operation and the fact that they had to face the trouble of Renault's impending operation against Castana's secret laboratory.
"We can only hope that the Imperial army will thus strengthen the garrison, so that the defense will be strengthened at a cost that Renault cannot afford." A1 doesn't have a good idea, they've already gone once, and if they go again, it's enough to make people suspicious.
"Based on the information from the last operation, you should prepare well. We don't have the support of the Star Spirit this time, and it will only be more difficult to attack. β
"Yes."
After returning to the captain's room, Yang Yi continued to talk to Santila about the previously interrupted topic: "...... So you don't know? β
"Yes, Executive. The being you call a hybrid is not to be underestimated. I wasn't sure I would be able to achieve my goals...... But again, it is not feasible to destroy the laboratory to release it. We don't know exactly what the hybrid is capable of, but if it could travel interstellar with powerful psionic abilities like Behemoth of the Alien, it would be catastrophic for the destruction of the sector. β
"Interstellar travel is still a ship-specific ability, and I don't think the guy who is still in the lab can do individual interstellar fulfillment, but I'm also worried that the hybrid will attract undue attention, as A1 said...... To be honest, the most desired one is the Golden Fleet, and it would be best for the Golden Fleet to wipe it out directly on the ruins of the laboratory......"
ββ¦β¦ Perhaps, I can contact the Golden Fleet for you......"
"Forget it, I don't want to have too much contact with the Star Spirit just yet. Tadarin is enough for me to drink a pot. I can't explain to the Council of Light and Shadow how I managed to free you from the ruins of the El. He quickly shook his head, "And, if nothing else, our Mr. Renault will lead us to the Gold Fleet, so let's plan our contact with Dharam and Nerazim at that time......"
Suddenly, the communicator on the table suddenly rang, and A1's voice rang out in the communicator: "Commander, there is an emergency in the Port of the Dead. Please come to the bridge, Mira Han has sent an urgent email. β
"Okay, I got it." Yang Yi didn't have time to complain, and after saying something to Shantila, he quickly got up and rushed back to the bridge.
Bridge.
As soon as he entered the bridge, A1 made a gesture to silence him, and he quickly slowed down his pace before he heard the sound of the communication channel echoing in the bridge. The voice is familiar, it's Mira Han's.
ββ¦β¦ The First Fleet of the Empire and the fleets of some of our local galaxies are wanted. This is the information that we have so far, and further information is still under investigation, but I think the situation is already clear. β
He quietly walked to A1's side, and saw that dozens of small sections had been divided into the communication screen, each of which was the avatar of a person, all of whom were well-known mercenaries and pirates in the Port of the Dead, many of whom he had dealt with, some had drunk, some had fights, and it seemed that something had indeed happened.
"You can talk to your own people first, and I'll have a meeting at the bullet bar in a week to figure out how to deal with this trouble. That's the case, sorry to bother you. With that, the portrait of Mira Han in the middle disappeared immediately. The other avatars also disappeared one after another.
A1 also turned off the communication and turned back to look at Yang Yi.
"What's wrong? Why did you send an emergency message all of a sudden? β
"That's right, according to Mira Han, her informant contacted her urgently a few hours ago to inform her that the Imperial Military Department was planning a raid on the Port of the Dead, and that the purpose seemed to be to clean up the most lawless pirate mercenary colony in the sector." A1 immediately replied, "The current participation in the operation includes the fleets of the Empire's First Fleet and some local systems, and the exact details of the operation are unknown. Mira Han invited us to meet at the Bullet Bar in a week to discuss the matter. β
Although I knew that this day was coming, I came at this juncture...... Yang Yi always had the feeling that it was because he had annoyed the empire that he made up their minds to come to the Port of the Dead.
"I see...... Well, I'm actually wondering what Renault thinks right now. β
"You'll find out right away." As he spoke, A1 directly opened the communication channel, and it was a communication from Renault. A1 directly chose to turn on, and Renault's face just appeared on the communication screen.
"Ah, I just wanted to contact you, boss. You should have seen that communication from Mira Han just now, how about it, are you going to intervene? β
ββ¦β¦ Meddle, of course. But it's not me who meddles, it's you who interfere. He glared at Yang Yi, "You don't have to follow Castana's mission next, stay here to defend the Port of the Dead." Whether or not the Empire is serious this time, I have to see that the Port of the Dead is still there before I return. β
ββ¦β¦ Clams? β
"It's an order, little one. I know that little bit of calculation in your heart. You know better than I do the importance of the Port of the Dead, and I'll fund you...... The rest, it's up to you. After that, Renault hung up the communication directly, leaving Yang Yi with a confused face.
He turned to look at A1 and asked, "...... Did he think I had brought in the Imperial fleet? β
