Chapter 420 Obligation
The dim sky covered the boundless land.
In the forest with faint fluorescence, waves of mechanical armors marched in unison with heavy steps towards the distant palace with faint brilliance. The originally silent forest suddenly became noisy, and the clanging sounds of mechanical operation and collision resounded throughout the imperial city.
Such a grand scene naturally could not be hidden from the many guards in the palace.
The bright searchlights suddenly moved, shining directly from the tops of the tall spire-shaped buildings to the streets around the palace.
The streets paved with high-strength materials were already full of Xinaro people wearing mechanical armor.
Looking at the scene in front of them, the guards took a breath of cold air, and the steady fluorescence on their bodies also showed extremely chaotic strobing.
[Imperial City Riot! ]
[Quick! Sound the alarm! ]
[Report to the Queen! Report the situation to Her Majesty the Queen! 】
【……】
Commands were sent one after another along the many communication lines buried inside the city wall. Their destinations were all the places of prayer in the core area of the palace.
Boom! Boom!! Boom!!!
The heavy footsteps were getting closer and closer. Under the gaze of many guards, some mechanical armors had already approached the walls of the Xinaluo Palace.
【Damn it...】
One of the guards looked at the mechanical armors that were constantly approaching in front of him, and couldn't help but curse in his heart. He turned his body slightly and looked at the solid city wall that was already behind him, and asked in a deep voice: 【What do they want to do? 】
【Why hasn't the queen ordered to stop these people? ! 】
The only thing that responded to the guard was the mechanical armors that were constantly approaching!
Behind the visor, he squinted his eyes slightly and observed each mechanical armor in front of him with the help of various visual aids.
The model of the mechanical armor and the corresponding driver information appeared in front of him quickly.
They were all ordinary Xinaluo people. Judging from the relationship network, these Xinaluo people didn't even have too many conflicts of interest.
It seems that this is not a premeditated riot, but an unexpected incident.
When this thought flashed through his mind, the guard subconsciously looked up at the sky.
A khaki starship was hovering above the palace, illuminating the huge palace with a very weak white light. The Xinaro people were very sensitive to changes in light. Although this white fluorescence was very weak, it still could not escape their eyes.
Could it be... because of this starship?
But this is the starship of the Star Envoy!
Just as the guard was thinking about it, the heavy and chaotic footsteps stopped abruptly.
Then, the leading one, a very old style mechanical armor, walked forward slowly with a somewhat stiff step.
Looking at the scene in front of him, the guard subconsciously held his breath. He had an idea and controlled the mechanical armor under him to make a defensive move.
[Mech number: 71XC1, driver: Gurchi, what do you want to do? ! ]
Facing the guard's questioning, the old mechanical armor shook gently a few times and stopped again.
The quality of civilian mechanical armor is far inferior to that of the mechanical armor worn by the palace guards. Not only are the styles old, but many of them are even on the verge of being scrapped.
This is the case with the 71XC1 mecha in front of us.
There are several deep scars on the chest of the mechanical armor that can be seen to the bone. The scars are torn and almost completely tear apart the outer armor layer of the armor.
It looks like... it was attacked by the claws of some animal.
Inside the cracks, the repair marks are obvious and the lines are clearly exposed to the air, flashing with barely detectable arcs.
Strictly speaking, this 71XC1 mechanical armor has only the function of transportation. It not only has no combat capability, but even the basic protection function has considerable defects.
Buzz...
Just as the guard carefully examined the mechanical armor in front of him, a loud buzzing sound sounded, and the visor on the top of the mechanical armor slowly opened, revealing a middle-aged Xinaluo with a resolute face inside.
[Dear guard, I just want to follow the footsteps of the Star Envoy. 】
The face of the middle-aged Xinaluo named Gurchi turned slightly pale, and the flashing fluorescence on his body also revealed a bit of strange breath.
Hearing the name of the Star Envoy, the guard's tense body relaxed a little: [The footsteps of the Star Envoy? What does this mean? ]
[Of course, we are going to the place of creation and taking back our home planet! ] The fluorescence on Gurchi's body flickered violently, but for some reason, unlike other Xinaluo people, the light on Gurchi's body was like a fluorescent tube that had been in disrepair for a long time, and from time to time there would be a little flicker that was hard to ignore.
[Take back the home planet...]
The guard looked at Gurchi in front of him in a daze, and he realized something from the fluorescence on Gurchi's body belatedly: [Your body...]
[Don't worry about it. ] In response to the guard's question, Gurchi waved his hand, [It's an old problem left over from the battle to defend the home planet. ]
As he spoke, he raised his hand while manipulating the mechanical armor and pointed to the two claw marks that were deep enough to see the bone.
The guard looked solemn.
He finally remembered.
The 71XC1 armor in front of him was from the Mother Planet period!
He pondered for a moment and slowly said: [I know what you are thinking, but we have not received any notification about the counterattack on the Mother Planet, so...]
[How could this happen? ! ] The mechanical armor under Gurchi shook again, his face was a little grim, and he raised his hand and pointed at the khaki starship that was speeding towards another corner of the palace: [That Star Envoy...]
[I don't know. ]
The guard raised the mask of the mechanical armor and said to Gurchi sincerely: [Perhaps... the Star Envoy has other considerations.]
Gurchi fell into silence.
He stopped talking and just silently manipulated the mechanical armor to return to the crowd behind him.
His face was gloomy, and he murmured to himself: [In this case, I will wait until the Star Envoy appears.]
...
Xinalo Palace, the place of prayer.
The slight hum of the investigator starship and the heavy footsteps mixed together, coming from the open dome of the place of prayer.
"This machine has found something abnormal."
Yi's electronic synthesized voice suddenly sounded, breaking the tranquility of the place of prayer.
At the same time, a holographic interface appeared beside Chen Fan.
Looking at the wave of mechanical armor that was constantly surrounding the palace in the holographic interface, Chen Fan raised his eyebrows slightly, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes: "Queen Ophelia, the imperial city... seems to have had some accidents?"
Ophelia looked at Chen Fan in surprise. She didn't quite understand what Chen Fan meant.
It was not until Chen Fan had an idea and presented the aerial footage from the investigator starship in the holographic interface to her that Ophelia's originally calm expression changed.
[What's going on? ! ]
Ophelia's face suddenly changed, and she subconsciously stood up and walked towards the gate of the prayer place: [Sorry, Master Star Envoy, I may...]
A burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the heavy palace door of the prayer place. As the palace door was slowly pushed open, a familiar figure appeared in everyone's eyes.
Seeing the person coming, Ophelia breathed a sigh of relief: [Aldesia, what happened in the imperial city? ]
Facing the queen's inquiry, Aldesia quickly glanced at Chen Fan and the three people from Hongshi not far away, and hesitated to speak.
Chen Fan noticed this at the first time.
Oh?
Could it be that there was a rebellion and riot within the civilization?
This is troublesome...
If there is no influence of dangerous technology, according to the order of the Administration, investigators cannot intervene in the internal affairs of the civilization...
Thinking of this, Chen Fan's expression moved, and he subconsciously prepared to stand up from the prayer platform.
Needless to say, Hongshi beside him also stood up and walked towards the open palace door.
[Aldesia, just say it directly, there are no outsiders here. ] Ophelia frowned slightly and stopped Chen Fan and Hongshi's actions: [Master Star Envoy, you and your companions don't need to leave. ]
[Yes...] Aldesia sighed softly, and with some helplessness, she cast her eyes on Chen Fan, who sat back on the prayer platform and watched the show with peace of mind: [It was Master Star Envoy's starship that caused the riot among the tribe. ]
Chen Fan: "???"
What the hell is a surprise? !
Can this be blamed on him?
In Chen Fan's stunned eyes, Aldesia briefly described the many things that happened on the landing platform and outside the palace wall.
"Counterattack the mother planet..." Chen Fan scratched his head, his expression became strange, "Queen Ophelia, your subjects... are very unusual."
[I'm sorry, Lord Star Envoy, this is my fault. ] Ophelia bowed and apologized to Chen Fan again, [Please give me some time, I will handle this matter. ]
As she said that, Ophelia's expression turned cold, and she turned to the palace door: [Aldessia, follow me! ]
"Wait!" Chen Fan's expression moved, and he stood up and left the prayer platform, "Don't rush to deal with it."
"Before Kraken fell into sleep again, he asked me to go to the place of creation as soon as possible."
"By then..." Chen Fan said frankly: "Your help may be needed."
According to Academician Wang Jing's previous statement, the Human Union is sending a support fleet to the anti-universe.
But...
Unlike the conventional universe, the anti-universe is located in the hyperspace membrane.
Needless to say, it must not be easy for the support fleet to reach this anti-universe.
At least, it will not be there for a while.
Before the support fleet officially arrived, he really needed a capable helper - or a thug - to investigate the truth of the alien invasion.
The Xinaluo civilization, which once mastered the sixth-level civilization technology, was undoubtedly a good choice.
"This is related to your star god." Chen Fan continued to add, "In the alien invasion, the Kraken was severely damaged. If left alone, the Kraken is likely to..."
[Lord Star Envoy! ]
Regarding the life of the star god, Ophelia's face suddenly changed, and she interrupted him without hesitation: [The Xinaluo civilization is willing to help you go to the place of creation! ]
She bit her silver teeth, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes: [In this war, the Xinaluo civilization has no choice but to fight! ]
