Where is this? Hell? How do I feel a chill that chills are frozen?

Risen slowly opened his eyes, a tall middle-aged man was standing in front of him, he wasn't dead yet? However, at a glance, the little light looks bleak and gloomy, and the surrounding black metal walls and high ceilings are vaguely arguable, this should be a prison cell. It's just, I don't know where the cell is, is he still in Henison? Or is it somewhere else?

"You're Rissen. Nigaul? The man spoke, and Risen saw the man clearly, he was wearing a straight imperial military uniform, with a square face and a wide forehead, a very straight waist, bright eyes, and a cold expression on his face, very imposing, quite a little contemptive, but a few wrinkles on his forehead made him look a little sentimental. That epaulettes, he is a general?

"Yes, sir." Risen struggled to move, and suddenly he realized that his hands and feet were locked in large shapes with metal chains, and he was just fixed to the wall and couldn't move.

"You're not dead yet, isn't it a surprise?" The admiral didn't want to hear his answer, and continued slowly, "I tell you, I saved you and made the military court make a reversal of the sentence. Ha ha...... You know? My name is Giraud. Steve, it was my nephew who was killed by you, and it's ironic that I would have saved the life of my own nephew. ”

"You ......" Resson swallowed a few words of gratitude back into his stomach, the expectation he had had before shattered when he heard the man's name, he remained silent, facing the emotional man, he knew that the matter was not over, he already had the realization that the situation had taken a turn for the worse.

"Ah.......h

"Schneier, you.... What happened to him? Risen struggled, the chain rattled, but it was useless, he couldn't resist the metal chains that were much thicker than chopsticks, they were made of high-strength alloy metal, and even the head of the Anchorage mammoth was locked firmly, let alone a weak human like him.

"Don't worry, he won't die." The Admiral's mood stabilized slightly, and he smiled darkly, as if he was satisfied with Ryson's anxiety. "I just saved the two of you, how can I be willing to let you die so soon?"

"What do you want?" Risen asked in a deep voice. He knows that it is useless to say anything now, begging or distinguishing, just humiliating himself, and it will only make the other party look down on him more, as for Schneier, he doesn't imagine the usual passages in those popular novels, saying that it was me who killed your nephew, and it was none of my friend's business or other nonsense, if these words were useful, he didn't care to say it again, but, now that it came to this point, he knew very well that the other party would never let go of the two of them, and the fate of the two of them had long been linked.

"How? Ha ha. The admiral came up, and suddenly he hit Risen in the lower abdomen with a heavy punch that hit him so hard that he was about to shrink in pain, but the hateful metal chains held him firmly and couldn't bend over, he felt that his internal organs were about to turn over, and there was a faint fishy smell in his mouth, and blood slowly spilled down the corners of his mouth.

This guy has a really big hand.

The admiral retracted his fist for a long time, looking at Ryson's facial features that were about to be deformed in pain, with a satisfied expression on his face, "Let me tell you, my nephew lived to be twenty-five years old, and brought me twenty-five years of joy and pleasure, and you, the bastard who killed him, want to die?" I'm not going to let you die so soon, I'm going to give you a taste of some of the techniques that have been handed down by the Security Service, so that you can open your eyes to how we deal with disobedient prisoners, and let you know what it's like to live better than die. However, you can rest assured that you will never die until you have enjoyed enough punishment, so I will arrange a doctor for you to enjoy the second half of your dark life, boy. You'd better start praying now that you'll die unexpectedly soon, hahaha......"

With a smug laugh, the admiral walked out of the cell in a happy mood.

"Serve our guests well, but remember, you must not let these two people die for me, or else, hum ......"

"Obey, Admiral, I won't let them die, even if I bite my tongue and kill myself, I can save their lives......"

..........

The crackling, blue arc of metal probe ignored Ressen's fearful and twisted expression, and without pause, it drew closer and closer......

The screams were faint as they reached through the metal walls and iron gates, barely audible in the quiet corridors. Despite this, the Imperial soldiers who were guarding nearby managed to find all sorts of excuses to move slightly into the distance, to move where the terrifying screams could not be heard.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"Shi... How... Well, heh....." Risen cried out with difficulty, his voice now so low and hoarse that he could barely hear it. Ressen couldn't help but laugh bitterly at himself, how long did he scream? Maybe it's been almost a month, and it's a miracle that he's not dead yet, and he can still make a sound.

"Guy... Plan? What.... Affair? Cough... Cough... Ahem..."His friend coughed painfully a few times, which was an answer for him.

"Know... Know... Road.... I.... We.... Appear.... Right now.... At.... Going to.... Which..... Is it? It took a long time for Risen to utter the words that he usually said in a few seconds.

"No... No... Know.... Dao, Rui.... Risson, don't.... Other.... Speak.... Alright... Good.... Rest, knots ... Province... Stamina, etc... Under.... Those.... Hybrids... Again.... Finish. Curled up on the cold metal bed, a body was silent again.

Save stamina?? Risen gasped in pain, when did they have to save the strength to say a word? He now felt pain everywhere in his body, and he probably didn't even have the strength to lift a finger, knowing this, Risen thought sadly, he should have committed suicide early when he had the opportunity to commit suicide on the planet Heinison, at least he knew where he died, not like now, he didn't know where he died.

They were long gone now, the only thing Risen knew, but where, he didn't know. After that ridiculous court-martial, he was no longer on Henison when he woke up to see the Admiral Steve, as Schneier later told him, and his friend was not stunned at the trial. From the mouth of his friends, he learned that as soon as the trial was over, they were thrown into a ship and flew in space for two or three days, sending them to an unknown place and meeting with the admiral. Where it is, Risen has been in a coma and doesn't know, Schneier doesn't know, because he was covered with his head covered throughout the escort journey, according to the time calculation, maybe somewhere in the hinterland of the center of the empire, but Risen and Schneier's star maps are not very good, and they don't even know how many galaxies the empire has, what are their names, relative locations, etc., and naturally it is impossible to deduce their possible locations from them.

After being tortured by the admiral's subordinates in that unknown place for a while, maybe those guys were tired of having fun, maybe they wanted to change places and other ways to torture them again, Risen and Schneier were thrown into a ship again, they didn't know where the ship was going, they only knew that the ship was carrying them and had been sailing in the universe for more than two weeks, and they couldn't remember how many space jumps they had experienced, how many short stops, If they had set off near the center of the Empire, they would have been in some remote frontier of the Empire in just over two weeks.

In the Frontier Star Region of the Empire, Ryson guessed a little distractedly, where the hell was it? It didn't matter where they went, though, and was there anything worse for the two of them than they were now? Worse than their condition may be death, but death may not be a relief for the two of them now.......

Just as he continued to think about it, I don't know how long later, very unexpectedly, the spaceship, which had been sailing smoothly, suddenly shook violently, throwing him off the metal bed board to the ground, causing severe pain from injuries all over his body, and he didn't bother to get up even if he was lying face down, in fact, he couldn't get up. The violent shaking was accompanied by a loud rumbling sound, which came from the port side of the hull, a feeling that he seemed to have experienced before, very familiar, and Risen suddenly realized that it was an explosion, and that their ship had been attacked.

"Listen.... Hearing... Is it so? Friends ....., there are.... Yes.... People come .... Help.... We knot.... Come to an end... This... Field bitter... It's hard, huh... Scold. Risen smiled hard at his friend. The ship they were on was attacked, and if it was sunk, the two of them would naturally not be able to escape, and Risen felt that fate would really play a joke on them, their maiden war began with the attack on a transport ship, and now, they are also going to face the end of their lives in the enemy attack.

"Listen.... Heard it.... Can... Pity.... Ignorance... I don't know.... Who is it, who is it .... Help.... I.... We, I.... Think... Thank.... None .... Machine... Yes.... Finish. ”

"I.... I think they... Also... Neither... Need... Need.... We.... Thanks for that, hey,.... Buddy..... In this life... Can I follow.... You die... At... One piece, there's a... Good.. Friend... Accompanied.... Under... Hell, I... Very... Know.... Enough. Risen turned himself over and held out his right hand to his friend with a trembling gesture, a simple gesture that almost exhausted most of his strength.

"I... Also... Yes, man,... If.... There is a next life.... I also do... Your wingman. His friend crawled to the edge of the bed with tears in his eyes, stretched out his left hand and held Ryson's right hand tightly, and the two friends stared at each other, and they both understood that this was the final farewell.

Two more explosions, this time from starboard, they could not see the attackers, nor did they know whether the ship was escorted or not, they could only surmise from the messy and panicked footsteps coming from the outer walkway that the situation did not seem to be too good, and the attackers had the upper hand.

"Listen....?" His friend said. Suddenly, the sound of the engine, which had been rumbling inside the ship, slowly died down, and Risen could even hear the sizzling sound of electricity coming from the parts hidden inside the hull.

"It's... This is the ion cannon ... of attacks. "Risen is no stranger to this, the Banshee fighter is equipped with two ion cannons, this cannon is more energy-intensive than the laser cannon, it fires a high-energy ion beam, it will not cause damage to the ship or the people on board, but it is quite effective against the shield, and once the shield hits the hull, it can quickly paralyze almost all the electronic and mechanical devices of the target, if it is used alone, it means that a boarding attack or ship capture operation is about to begin.

Someone is going to board the ship?? They are not trying to wreck the ship, but to occupy it. Risen moved in his heart, maybe, they have a chance, this is a rare turnaround.
