Chapter 237: I Am a Legend
“…… Khan, the time is coming. ”
In the office, Hawkeye Khan, who was reviewing documents, heard a voice in the shadows and immediately stopped what he was doing.
Days of intense work had already exhausted him, and after the "unexpected enemy" crisis was over, he, the person who had given the final blow, naturally received a lot of attention, and he had been dealing with these things all this time.
But as soon as he thought of the "day of the sweat" that would follow, he pulled himself together again, took stimulant drugs to relieve fatigue, and walked out of the office.
The place of work is a highly automated modern building, and the working environment of some interstellar civilization leaders is not even as good as his.
The so-called "Khan" and "nomadic civilization" do not represent their primitive or backward, but are just a unique name because of different trends of thought and customs.
Outside the office building, there are not electronic prairies and cyber tents, but bazaars with different functions.
Countless high-speed vehicles fly in and out of it, and there are "ladders" that go straight to space from some cities to connect with the "orbital ring world" looming in the sky.
This is the "Star Horde", a grassland planet with a high degree of development under the management of Hawkeye Khan.
During the "Great Khan Trial" phase, all participants will be traditionally assigned a habitable planet, and they will use everything they have obtained from the previous trials to develop the planet, strengthen themselves, and then dominate the stars.
Hawkeye felt that he had done a good job, from the moment he decided to participate in the trials as a khan, he was the best at every stage, and no khan could compare to him.
All opportunities were used by him as much as possible, and he did not hesitate to take risks in order to achieve his goals, and even the "Void Realm Mentor" became his help.
He has never slackened, the day he became the Khan, he gave up all entertainment, put all his leisure time on hard work, and he will personally participate in almost every session of the "Star Sea Community" meeting, in order to grasp the galaxy events as soon as possible.
thought that the "position of the Great Khan" was in his pocket, but the sudden nobody "Lone Wolf Khan" who was killed from the corner made all his efforts seem to come to naught.
He found that he couldn't compare to a lone wolf, whether it was the background, or the assistance, and even the "Star Tent" that he had run for half his life was completely inferior to a certain "Gaia Planet" run by the lone wolf in his intelligence.
And at the last moment of the galactic crisis, he was supposed to be in the limelight in the reservation, but he was also replaced by a lone wolf who came to the rescue as the "Lost Empire".
Now, the "Great Khan Trial" is coming to an end, and the winner will gain everything that the loser has, and the loser will lose even his life.
He knew that he was no longer as good as a lone wolf, but he was not willing to give it all up, he hadn't lost yet, and he still had one last chance.
Eventually, he boarded a spaceship that flew to a hidden galaxy.
There is a Council of Elders made up of the most respected elders from the various Marauder tribes, where the selection of trials will begin.
And what Hawkeye wants to do is simple, he wants to assassinate his biggest rival when he can get closest to a lone wolf.
Time passed quietly.
In the blink of an eye, the ship was in that hidden galaxy.
In order to get here one step ahead of others and prepare in advance, he even equipped the ship with an experimental jump engine that would turn into scrap metal once used.
In addition, his fleet is also equipped with these engines and ambushed, just waiting for the lone wolf to appear here in the moment, and destroy the lone wolf's car with lightning speed.
Luck seemed to be on his side at this moment, and when he came, the lone wolf had not yet come, which gave him ample preparation for one ring of assassinations.
So after everything was ready, he patiently waited for the time to come, and his eagle-sharp gaze controlled the whole situation of the galaxy.
However, as time passed, and the deadline was approaching, the lone wolf still did not move, not even a report to the Council of Elders.
By the end of the trial, only one of the lone wolf's subordinates had brought a "pigeon."
Hawkeye was a little incredulous, because according to custom, those who failed to participate in the final selection stage were considered to abstain, that is, the coveted "Great Khan Position" was his.
But it wasn't that simple, and soon news came from within the Council of Elders, announcing that the selection would be postponed until the lone wolf came to participate.
It is clear that the Council of Elders also values the power of the lone wolf, believing that he will be able to bring all the tribes to the top, and will not hesitate to break the custom to do so.
This feeling of being rivaled made Hawkeye extremely uncomfortable, and even the ambush was flawed, until the lone wolf and the convoy suddenly arrived, and he was too late to launch an assassination.
So the assassination phase in space ended inexplicably, and the focus of the assassination shifted to the interior of the planet.
The Council of Elders tried to break the custom of "Ten Days of Mind Cultivation" once again, and held a selection ceremony for Hawkeye and the lone wolf in advance, and they were obviously aware of Hawkeye's behavior, and wanted to directly determine the location of the lone wolf in order to prevent too many dreams in the night.
However, the lone wolf unexpectedly refused, and even showed extreme resistance, seemingly completely unconcerned about the "position of the Great Khan".
So Hawkeye's assassination plan was once again given room to be used.
After analyzing the lone wolf's daily schedule, his killer hides in the shadows and will use a special weapon to directly snipe the lone wolf from an ultra-long distance.
Until the day the assassination began, he was anxiously standing by the communication equipment, praying for good news from the killer.
The waiting process was not easy, and the moment the communication rang, he connected the communication as if he had been prepared for a long time.
However, the first sentence on the other side of the communication made his whole body soften.
"The assassination failed, but ......"
Hearing that the killer seemed to have something to say, he reluctantly listened again.
“…… I made three shots. The first time, the leg of his alloy chair suddenly broke, and he flipped out of the chair without warning, frustrating my attack. ”
"The second time, my weapon calibrator was inexplicably off, and my attack didn't even get close to the target within ten meters. I checked the weapon afterwards and there was nothing wrong with it, and then I suspected that I might have been exposed. ”
"As for the third ......" The killer paused, and stopped talking, as if he couldn't believe it, but he had to continue.
"The third attack, the sudden appearance of metal blocks in the path made the attack ineffective halfway through, when a smoking aircraft passed by in the sky, and I think it was the detached parts that happened to block the attack......"
The things that the killer said were like a fantasy, and no one would believe anyone else, but Hawkeye felt that it was unexpectedly normal for these things to appear in a lone wolf.
Originally, after reporting the assassination, the killer should have cut off communications.
However, the killer seemed to think that he had done a terrible job, and specifically informed Hawkeye of what he found during the assassination and said:
"In addition, I found that the lone wolf Khan seemed to be extremely disgusted with his identity, and tried to flee several times, but was brought back by the guards......"
Only this time did the killer cut off communications completely.
And this "good news" unexpectedly did not make Hawkeye happy, but instead changed the previous decadence and became angry.
He didn't understand that the Council of Elders would make an exception for such a person who was not willing to shoulder the position of "Great Khan" many times, and begged the other party to come with a face.
He even felt that these people who could give up everything, including dignity and tradition, for the sake of profit were not worth the effort.
At this moment, he remembered the last battle against the "unexpected enemy", those who could not care to fill the gap, and let him take the final blow just because he said "more efficient".
He felt that it was good to fit in with this group of people, and after the "retirement" of the Tinder Alliance, the civilization he represented was even about to sit in the position of "Council Civilization".
So after a little thought, he decided to go it alone, he didn't care about any "Khan's honor" anymore, and only letting himself keep up with the footsteps of the galaxy was what he wanted to do the most.
After all, he still has the support of the "Void Realm Mentor", and the development of civilization has a foundation, and it is not so easy to let civilization go to destruction.
As soon as the decision came out, he directly took people out of the hidden galaxy, which means that he automatically gave up the competition, and will become a "traitor" that the "Great Khan" will definitely purge in the future.
However, the good times of the Marauder tribe did not come, and the lone wolf suddenly "disappeared mysteriously".
So the last khans of this "Great Khan Trial" all ran away, leaving only the marauder tribes who had waited for the "new king" to lead them to plunder the galaxy, but now fell into chaos.
The stars are shining, and the Milky Way is as good as ever.
The lone wolf hummed a little song, drove his precious "love boat", sailed between the stars, and wrote his diary.
"I'm a lone wolf, and today is ...... Anyway, I've run to the other side of the galaxy, and the marauders will never find me. ”
"I really took great pains to get another competitor to give up, and I used the spiritual energy I just mastered to create a series of accidents, and finally succeeded in making him 'realize the gap between us'."
"What kind of bullshit Khan, the dog is not appropriate, and you still want to cause trouble to the galaxy?"
"But the group of believers will still find me...... When my psionic power is a little stronger, they probably won't be able to find me. ”
"Rather than dealing with those irritating political affairs, space adventures are more interesting!"
That was the end of his diary, and then, remembering something, he took out another diary, ready to rearrange his life's experiences and record them on it.
It was one of his dreams, to publish a book of his own, and when he thought about it, he felt that his experience was quite appropriate.
"What should I call it...... It's better to call, "I Am Legend". ”
