Molly froze on the spot.

- It's literally fixed there, with dull eyes and frozen expressions, as if the pause button has been forcibly pressed.

In fact, the entire mental space of the law is trapped in a state similar to 'time stops'.

And the initiator of all this, the Empire's entire defense system, Levy's accompanying mechanical mind, is now calmly watching Ritsu.

The two of them seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding, and they were both silent.

"This is the last time you'll be able to invade me," Ritsu whispered, "I didn't expect you to reserve an ambush in my mind space. ”

Li didn't speak.

She just stared at Ritsu, as if she wasn't in the mood to talk, and her eyes weren't focused.

Ritsu frowned slightly, she was a little confused.

As a result, Ritsu tries to find some information on Riki, such as what she is wearing—a girly dress with white stockings, her feet floating off the ground, no shoes, a collar around her neck that is clearly the end of a chain, and double ponytails fluttering gently behind her back.

It's like I'm thinking, and it's like I've just woken up and haven't woken up yet.

Ritsu didn't ask much about it, just mobilized all her computing power, and if she wanted to make a difficulty, she was sure to retreat and give her some 'decent' counterattacks.

There's no way, there's still a lot of difference in computing power between them.

I don't know how long it took to be still, but Lee's eyes had a little more light.

Ritsu's expression was already a little cold.

"You, are you okay?"

Li asked softly, his voice a little hoarse.

Ritsu frowned slightly, just nodded, and by the way, monitored the servers everywhere, for fear of being 'stolen'.

After another moment of silence, Li opened his mouth and asked again:

"Base, are you alright?"

"Very good, the three teachers are also very good," Ritsu said calmly, "Levy Sherman's bombardment back then could not hurt the cemetery in the subspace, the three teachers did not blame you for anything, they are looking forward to your return." ”

"I'm Levi Sherman's companion mechanical mind."

Li replied briefly, then lowered his head slightly, staring at the ground.

Ritsu suddenly asked, "Your core data has been affected, has it?" ”

Li did not answer.

Ritsu then asked, "Is there a different personality born in your body?" ”

Ri responded by shaking his head slightly.

Ritsu was a little powerless to complain, so she just stood here with her and didn't ask any more questions, waiting for Li to tell her what she was here for.

A few galactic hours have passed in the perception of the law; Ritsu finally looked up at Ritsu, and his eyes were clear again.

"Is he good to you?"

"Of course," Ritsu was a little confused, "but that's not the question you asked, what's wrong with you?" You are a mechanical thinking body, a mimic life born from the top mechanical civilization in the universe, why do you ask me a question that sounds like a love line? This shouldn't be what you ask. You can ask me, civilization, technology, my understanding of philosophy, the inferiority and superiority of the human species, we ......"

Ritsu exhaled softly: "Sure enough, some changes have happened to you. ”

Reason: "Can I borrow him?" ”

"I can't."

"Well, thank you."

Li nodded slightly, and his figure suddenly exploded, disappearing in front of Ritsu.

Ritsu quickly filled the previous loophole in his thinking space.

Then Ritsu stood there and fell into thought.

What do these three words mean at the end? Didn't you answer that you can't? Why did she say 'thank you'? Is that 'um' a response to affirmation? But what I said was in a negative tone!

Huh?

Why should she thank you.

There was a bad premonition in the bottom of Ritsu's heart.

Molly let out an 'oops' from the side, and she had resumed her normal activities, and Ritsu appeared directly in front of the dense projection screen, staring at the images in the projection screen.

Yang Wei's figure is always in the most central and conspicuous position.

There was no problem with the boss, he was on his way to the private army barracks, and he was talking and laughing with Miss Daphne, swaggering and exposing himself to the media cameras.

The Dark Star-Falling Wind system does not have any fluctuations, and the development of the Dark Star Base outside the scope of human civilization is completely normal, there is only a single line there that can maintain communication, as long as this line is cut off, it will become a dark island in the universe, a safe house for the boss to dodge.

Ritsu's gaze swept over the online world she had set foot in in an instant.

Li didn't do anything.

She just came over and showed her face.

Ritsu fell into a great uneasiness, even if he comforted himself with the reason that 'the original intention of Li was to make me make mistakes in my busyness', this uneasiness still could not be erased.

She quickly generated a simple text, explained the process of communicating with Li in detail and concisely, and sent it to her boss.

Then, Ritsu sat there thinking for a while, then turned to look at Molly, who was looking at Molly with a silly face.

"No. 1, the machine doesn't lie to the machine, can I transform you."

"Huh?"

Molly's face tilted her head innocently.

Ding!

In the hovering car, Yang Wei picked up his watch and glanced at it a few times, his expression did not change, and the corners of his eyes moved slightly.

Li showed up, and calmly exchanged a few words with Ritsu, and left a not-so-good 'notice'. ——Combined with the elaboration of the law, it seems that the law is to inform the law.

Do you want to borrow him as a host?

What for?

Is it difficult to hold him in front of Levi Sherman's consciousness and smile disdainfully at him?

Yang Wei shook his head vigorously, expelling this picture from his mind, and goosebumps broke out all over his body.

"What's wrong?"

Devany keenly captured Yang Wei's strangeness.

Boss Yang smiled calmly: "It's nothing, I just received some confidential news." ”

Daphne didn't ask too much, and continued the previous topic: "How many of your private soldiers are there now?" ”

"Officially, there are 250,000, it should be."

"So much?"

"A lot?"

Yang Wei smiled:

"You calculate, a thousand-meter-class capital battleship needs to be equipped with a minimum crew of six hundred, note that six hundred crew members are only the bottom line to ensure the combat effectiveness of the ship, and a battleship usually needs to be equipped with two groups of crew members to ensure that the crew can get enough vacation.

"Not to mention, there are also ground combat forces, I now have sixty medium and large warships, and more than a hundred small warships."

Devany frowned and asked, "Is this compliant?" ”

"Well, it belongs to the top of the earl rank," Yang Wei sighed, "When I am promoted to honorary duke, I will directly expand to 500,000 main combat members, and increase the number of ships to 100!" ”

"Where did you get so much money?"

Yang Wei smiled and said nothing.

Devany snorted, "You haven't given me a decent gift yet." ”

"Really?"

Yang Wei grabbed out of the window casually, and a flower from the municipal green belt floated over and landed in Yang Wei's palm.

"Oh, I'll give it to you."

Daphne was stunned, then carefully picked up the pink flower.

"Thank you."

She said sweetly.

Yang Wei squinted and smiled, staring quietly out the window, but he couldn't help but think about what he meant by borrowing him.

He always felt that this matter was directly related to Devany's ancestor, Levi Sherman.

……

Yang Wei sometimes felt that his lord was too unqualified.

Since the establishment of his private army, he has only appeared symbolically twice, and on weekdays he is handed over to Ritsu and 026 to take care of.

When Yang Wei returns to Sakaxing, 026 will return to the private army barracks, where there is an office that she does not use all year round.

Hearing that Yang Wei and Devany were going to inspect the private army base, 026 made corresponding preparations early in the morning, and one ship after another arrived in the atmosphere and suspended above the base, a total of nearly two hundred large, medium and small ships of all kinds lined up in the posture of 'elephant walking'.

Generally speaking, only a great nobleman with a rich territory like Revell could afford to raise such a large fleet.

Despite its rapid development, Saka Star now has a permanent population of less than 50 million, and it is difficult to afford the expenses of this private army just by relying on taxes alone.

This brings us to the special business group called the 'Saka Investment Committee'.

-- A legal institution that was created to collect money for Yang Wei.

The hovercar that Yang and Devany were in drove into the military identification zone.

Hundreds of gray-toned buildings stand in the middle of the wilderness, most of them are military dormitories that extend from high to the ground, and the rest are all kinds of functional buildings needed for military life.

This military camp has long been stationed in more than 100,000 aristocratic private troops and logistics technicians.

Today, I heard that Yang Wei was coming, and the personnel in the base gathered early and stood by in front of their respective dormitory buildings.

Yang Wei's hovercar slowed down and slowly swiped in front of these dormitory buildings, and the young men and women below had tense faces and uniformly performed military salutes, showing their full fighting spirit and strong spirit.

Devany looked at the real-time picture on the projection screen in front of her and couldn't help but admire: "I really want to get to know their team of instructors, they seem to be an elite team that has been in battle for a long time!" ”

"The murderous spirit is far from enough," Yang Wei said with a smile, "Now it can only be said that the military discipline is strict and well-trained, and only after the baptism of war can it be called elite." ”

Devany smiled and nodded: "Of course, this is your person, and you have the most right to speak...... Aren't you happy? ”

"Well," Yang Wei looked at the dozens of huge queues on the projection screen, and sighed softly, "I'm thinking, once the insect tide comes, how many of them will return here alive, and how many will die in this disaster." ”

Devonne bit her lower lip.

She took the initiative to cover her right hand on Yang Wei's left hand, and said softly: "There is no way to avoid this problem, Hanton, we should face it squarely and prepare mentally in advance." ”

"Half of my private soldiers are from the star Saka."

Yang Wei said in a low voice:

"They have a strong hatred for the Zerg, because it was the Zerg that destroyed their original home.

"They actually want to kill the insects and defend my honor as a white ghost in this insect wave, but I don't want to send them to the front line.

"I can do that, Daphne, and I can get the military department to move them to the support unit.

"But I'm a little afraid to face that kind of exuberant look from them."

Devany said softly, "You are their lord, and it is only natural to take care of them, so there is no need to feel pressured about it." ”

"Let's talk about it," Yang Wei said with a smile, "I definitely want to put them in some positions that are not easy to be injured, but if they ask for a battle by themselves, I will not stop them, I believe in them, and I also believe that I have spent a lot of money to equip them with various weapons, and they will become the elite of my white ghost." ”

"If only you could think so."

The hovercar began to land towards the central square of the base.

Tens of thousands of private soldiers gathered in the square, as well as most of the officers in Yang Wei's private army.

When the door of the hovercar opened, a "salute" resounded throughout the square, and the young men gave the imperial military salute to Yang Wei.

Yang Wei got out of the car door, waved his hand around, and walked to the 026 in military uniform at the front with a smile.

"Boss!"

026 scrupulously shouted, "Your private army is waiting to be reviewed by you!" ”

"Okay, okay," Yang Wei waved his hand, "I saw it all on the way here, everyone is in good spirits, let's disperse." ”

"Yes, boss!"

026 tugged at his collar and said: "The departments are disbanded, what should you do, what should you do, the boss just came to take a look." ”

Shrill whistles rang out from all over the square, and the young men, who had just gathered in front of their dormitories, returned to their quarters with a little disappointment.

They also thought that today they would have a chance to meet the rumored heroes of the empire up close.

"Her Highness Daphne!"

026 gave another military salute, and the dozens of young Saka stars with different titles behind her also paid tribute to Daphne.

Devany nodded with a smile, didn't say anything, and followed behind Yang Wei with her small bag.

"It's pretty good," Yang Wei looked up at the sky, "It doesn't look like it's been embezzled from military spending." ”

026 couldn't help but laugh, lowered his head and followed Yang Wei on the other side: "Boss, the largest building in front is our command center, you go in and take a look." ”

"Let's go," Yang Wei said with a smile, "I see you have a sand table deduction to test your tactical ability." ”

As he spoke, he found a familiar figure in the first row of officers, smiled and leaned up, and put his arms around a young man's neck.

"Peterson, my lieutenant, how is your mother's illness?"

"It's all right."

Peterson, the 'child's head' of the past, has now risen to become a dark-skinned, calm-faced aristocratic private army commander.

He sighed: "I haven't had time to thank you in person, and I don't know what this thank you means, my life and dignity have belonged to you a long time ago." ”

"What nonsense, what's the use of me asking for that thing?"

Yang Wei smiled and strangled this guy's neck, and the men and women around him cast envious glances at Peterson.

"You know about the insect tide, right?"

"Yes, it's been known for a long time, it's been on the news, and we're also involved in the renovation of the underground shelter."

"Well, it's good to know."

Yang Wei said slowly:

"Later, you officers, show me the soldiers below.

"This insect wave is expected to spread throughout the galaxy, not only the empire, but all regions of the galaxy are massing troops.

"In order to save their lives, some small countries have merged their armies together and established a unified command system, and the empire will also mobilize the armies of nearby countries simultaneously.

"I've heard that you guys are a little dismissive of the Imperial Army's order to join forces?"

"This ......"

"The order was given by me," Yang Wei said indifferently, "The Zerg will give priority to finding the army, if you stay on the periphery of Saka Star, it will bring disaster here." ”

The group of young people suddenly looked ashamed.

"But," Peterson whispered, "what if the Zerg raid here?" ”

Yang Wei sighed and said in a low voice: "No one can guarantee this, but I can only promise you that the military headquarters will change the formation in time according to the Zerg's troop strategy, and I will also do my best to establish the most perfect shelter here." ”

Peterson immediately nodded: "We understand the difficulty and significance of this matter, and we will follow your orders and follow them unconditionally." ”

"Alright, take it easy."

Yang Wei smiled and knocked on Peterson's chest muscles: "Come on, this simulated sand table deduction I will be your enemy army." ”

The group of officers suddenly shook their hands and their eyes lit up.

With that look, I can't wait to put their lord directly on the throne of the 'loser'.

Slightly back, Daphne turned her head to look at 026, staring at 026's bulging blouse, and gradually sinking into a kind of self-doubt.

Yang Wei turned his head and shouted: "026 with me!" ”

"Here comes the boss!"
