Chapter 15: The Celestial Shepherd
。.。.。.。.。.。.。.。.。.。.。.。
To the northeast of Orion, not far away 15 light-years away, there is a celestial star; It belongs to the constellation Taurus and is a planet of the B5 star.
The celestial star has a rosy sky, and the surrounding skyline is always surrounded by a dark red halo, like a string of rubies around the neck.
This is because the B5 star is a red giant, and this unique Sun gives the star its unique hue.
Not only is the sky red, but the soil and plants are also mostly red.
The iron-rich soil stains the rocks and the earth red.
The leaves rich in chlorophyllin make the plants here look like maple leaves in late autumn.
This is a natural pasture, with rivers and lakes on the ground, and abundant water and grass; The lush vegetation provides a paradise home for the animals here.
Herds of bison, as many as the stars, have bred here since ancient times, providing an inexhaustible supply of meat for the entire constellation Orion.
A wide variety of plants also provide sweet fruits and five-colored flowers for the people of Orion.
From east to west, there is a long river that stretches for tens of thousands of miles, called the Bird Feather River, which provides water for this vast pasture and nourishes thousands of animals and plants in the pasture.
Bounded by the Bird Feather River, the pastures to the north belong to the Hall tribe, who are the northern alliance of Orion; The pastures to the south belong to the Guth tribe and are part of the Southern Alliance of Orion.
Because of this boundary river, the north and south have been in peace and harmonious relations since ancient times; This ranch has never been guarded here, and all the people have silently obeyed the ancient promise.
When needed, both sides will send fleets, land in their own ranch areas to pick up goods, load food, and fly away separately, so as not to disturb each other.
Occasionally, when they meet each other, they will also wave and greet each other across the river; But it is easy not to set foot on the ranch of the opposite family, so as not to cause misunderstanding.
On this day, 10 northern transport ships came to the ranch to pick up the goods, and the captain Duolun arranged for his 50 soldiers to prepare the goods while using drones to patrol the perimeter of the ranch.
This is also a regular part of his duties, and every time he comes to transport goods, he has to stop by to patrol the security of the ranch.
Duolun suddenly found that on the image transmitted by the drone, 500 kilometers to the west, at the foot of a mountain, there were dozens of transport ships, carrying bison, which was obviously not their northern ship.
Captain Doren immediately told the soldiers to stop their work, and the group boarded a frigate.
In the blink of an eye, the frigate arrived there, and sure enough, there were fifty transport ships, neatly lined up on the north side of the Bird Feather River, hundreds of bison had already been loaded onto the transport ship, and a man who looked like a captain was standing next to command.
Captain Doron and his 50 men quickly stepped forward, and Doron stood in front of the commander and asked in a loud voice:
"Excuse me, where did you come from, why did you come to our ranch to transport bison, please show your ID."
"We are from the Southern Union, and I am the commander of this convoy, Bahrain, and this is my ID."
Doren carefully verified Bahrain's documents and then gave them back to him.
"Mr. Balin, you must have gone to the wrong place, otherwise you would have run to our ranch to pick up the goods." Duolun wanted to give the other party a step down, and he didn't want to cause trouble.
"No, Mr. Doron, I am not in the wrong place, I was ordered to come here to collect bison." Bahrain clearly didn't want to take a step back, and with a tone of impunity.
How can we continue to talk about it this day!
With nothing to say to the two sides, Duolun quickly led his men back, lined up in battle formation, and then held the weapons behind him in his hands.
"I formally order you to unload all the bison and leave quickly, or I will attack you on the grounds of illegal incursion." Duolun shouted.
"It's you who invade illegally, you Hale people from Sirius, you are the ones who have encroached on our pastures, and we have come to fetch our own bison, why is it illegal." Bahrain shouted loudly.
Balin's words scared Doren, because their Hall people were indeed from Sirius, but that was millions of years ago, and even Doren himself felt that he had nothing to do with Sirius, and he was an Orion with red roots.
Duolun realized that this matter was not so simple today, so he shouted: "Brother Balin, don't get me wrong, I will speak slowly after something, I only ask you to unload the goods and leave." ”
"Brother Doron, that's impossible." After saying that, Balin beckoned, and two columns of soldiers, about 200 of them, walked down from his frigate one after another.
They were heavily armed and heavily armed, lined up behind him.
Both sides refused to back down and were on edge.
Seeing that the kind words did not work, Duolun shouted sharply, "Give you the last 5 minutes, and I order you to leave immediately." ”
The soldiers in the south ignored Doron's warning, and they continued to load the bison.
A soldier in the north, unable to bear it any longer, finally opened fire, and a blue ray flashed, and a soldier in Bahrain fell to the ground and died.
The soldiers in the south immediately returned fire, and the two sides immediately burst into gunfire, and the battle lasted less than ten minutes, ping pong, and after dozens of blue lights, more than a dozen fighters on each side were killed and wounded.
Duolun was also shot in the leg, he ignored his injuries, quickly assessed the situation of the battlefield, the enemy was outnumbered, there was no point in fighting, he immediately called off the battle and ordered a retreat.
Bahrain also returned the transports, carrying hundreds of bison that had already been loaded, and their fleet quickly took off and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Toron pulled the dead and wounded fighters and also returned to the transport.
They reloaded the bison, as well as fruit and other food, boarded the ship and took off, and also turned around and flew to their base.
