Chapter 29 Interstellar 5
Ackerman at this time.
A deserted wasteland. A
huge Federation warship stands here.
A small spaceship slowly sailed out from this huge thing.
Considering the secrecy of the Admiral's whereabouts, Yuri arranged a simple guard.
Looking at the man who was still sleeping peacefully in the recovery cabin, the officer in simple military uniform slowly walked to the Admiral and gave orders as he had done countless times before.
- Set off.
At this time, the vast starry sky.
A ray of starlight cut through the darkness.
...
Brickell, the capital of the Federation.
The office of the Capitol Building.
An old man in military uniform sat upright in a large black chair.
The wrinkled face was facing the trembling secretary in front of him.
"Has the news spread?"
"...The black market has learned of this news, and the bounty for Anatole has also been announced. The pirates and the Empire have known about it for a long time." "
Very good. Now, let's see how Anatole escapes this time."
Ward Braden slowly stood up, leaned on his cane, and looked out through the glass from the Capitol that reached into the sky.
"The Fifth Legion has been in his hands for long enough, and it's time for someone else to change it."
The secretary didn't dare to respond. This matter, at the very least, is a power struggle within the Federation, and at the most, it is a charge of treason, plus the charge of murdering a Federation general. If you are not careful, you will be infamous for eternity.
"What's the situation in the empire?"
The old man turned around and asked the secretary.
"The civil unrest caused by the sudden death of the old king two years ago has basically subsided. Now the eldest prince is in power. In addition to the late second prince, the third and fourth princes all have certain power and are still competing with the eldest prince."
"Let our spies also intervene and make the situation as chaotic as possible."
The old man turned his eyes to the window again. Several clouds were mixed and intertwined, just like the current bizarre situation.
...
"Boss, we have deployed people around, just waiting for the prey to pass by."
A younger brother rubbed his hands and said to the red-haired man sitting on the leather sofa with his legs spread out.
The man was dressed luxuriously, tall, with long red hair draped softly on his shoulders, and a sinister look. The scar that spread from his jaw to the corner of his eye made him look like someone who was not easy to mess with.
Enemos touched the scar on his face with his hand, his expression unclear, and he turned his head to look at the boundless universe outside the window.
The stars shone in the darkness, and the flickering light and shadow were imprinted in his dark eyes.
Enemos' eyes flashed with excitement, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"...Anatole, I'm here to avenge you."
...
The spaceship sailed steadily in the empty universe.
"Report! Adjutant Yuri," the soldier trotted to Yuri and gave a standard military salute.
"In about five minutes we will reach the first relocation point and leave Ackerman. Do we need to take a short break?"
"No, keep going."
Yuri stared at the huge visor in front of him, the green pointer swept in circles, and there was no abnormal movement.
"Yes!"
Yuri took another step forward, frowned unconsciously, and scanned the seemingly peaceful environment.
The coverage area of Ackerman is not large. After the occupation, soldiers have been arranged to patrol and inspect, and the safety level is high, but the risk factor increases significantly after leaving this range and passing through the relocation point.
The soldier's intuition tells him that there will be danger ahead.
This is the only way from Ackerman to the capital planet. It is impossible to bypass it. No matter what dangerous traps there are, you have to bite the bullet and get through it.
Facing the unknown danger ahead, Yuri is also a little nervous.
Pirates, the Empire, and even people within the Federation may become threats.
"We are about to pass through the Ackerman-Kro land jump point, please be prepared."
The electronic sound of the machine rang.
A dazzling white light flashed in front of my eyes.
"You have entered the range of the third galaxy, Kro Earth."
In the circles of ripples, the spaceship just showed its head -
"Boom -"
"Turn on defense mode!"
The next second after seeing the unusual light, Yuri shouted, strode forward and sounded the alarm. As
soon as the voice fell, a powerful shock wave hit the translucent protective cover.
The blinding white light made people subconsciously wave their hands to cover their fragile eyeballs.
The next second -
just as they put their arms down, dozens of mechas came into view.
"Teams one and two will fight, team three will guard the ship's hatch, and team four will stay in the infirmary!"
Yuri had already prepared for the battle and quickly arranged the battle.
The detector that had been calm before began to beep, and dozens of small red dots on the display were approaching rapidly, showing an encirclement.
Staring coldly at the armor fighting with the soldiers, Yuri frowned.
Such moves and skills that are so different from those of regular troops must be pirates or mercenaries.
Mercenary operations are usually carried out by a single Dark Shark. Of course, it is not ruled out that multiple people will join forces when encountering a difficult mission target.
But Yuri still tends to speculate that the group of people in front of him are pirates.
After all, he will not forget that the admiral once offended a group of pirates entrenched in the third galaxy.
Yuri has also dealt with this group of people. Given their leader's vengeful character, there is no way he will not take action this time.
At least the good news is that for the time being, there are only these pirates...
"Boom——"
The roar of the collision resounded through the sky again.
Damn!
How could there be such a heavy weapon? !
Through the cracked transparent protective cover and the floor-to-ceiling glass, more than a dozen black battle armors joined the battlefield, and the cannons in their hands were aimed at the spaceship where Yuri was.
Very good, now the bad news is coming:
it's not just the pirates who are coming.
Yuri took a deep breath, exhaled heavily, and calmed his buzzing brain.
"Report... The west gate of the spaceship has been breached!!"
"Now, withdraw the third team and concentrate on protecting the admiral!"
Yuri turned around, picked up his pistol, and strode towards the infirmary.
The spaceship was attacked from both sides and was riddled with holes.
As soon as the airship was attacked, Yuri had already requested military support from the Federation, but the distance was too far and it was impossible for them to arrive in a short time.
Now, there was only a delay.
Try to prolong the time.
Yuri held the gun all the way, rushed to the infirmary, and knocked down several enemies who broke in.
When Yuri rushed to the infirmary panting, the door was wide open and the bodies of the Federation soldiers were lying in front of the door.
Breathing lightly, lowering the center of gravity of the body, holding the gun in his hand again, Yuri stepped into the room.
A man with short red hair pointed a gun at the nutrition warehouse where the admiral was.
"It seems you came quickly after all."
The man raised his lips when he saw Yuri:
"I thought you would come after I dealt with your Lord Admiral. Adjutant Yuri."
"Enemos..."
The famous pirate leader of the Third Galaxy.
Yuri saw the familiar face and shouted in a low voice with gritted teeth.
"Oh, so you still remember me..."
Enemos's eyes turned from Yuri to the sleeping admiral:
"I haven't forgotten you all these years."
"What happened to our Lord Admiral? Why is he lying here so pitifully?"
Enemos raised his voice, unable to hide his full of malice.
Enemos smashed the protective cover of the nutrient warehouse roughly and put the gun in his hand against Anatole's head.
"You said I'll shoot, bang--"
"Can your admiral still escape?"
"By the way, please ask our adjutant to put down his weapon first, otherwise..."
Yuri knew the threat in Enemos' words, and did not dare to act rashly. He slowly raised his hands, bent his waist and put the pistol under his feet.
At the moment of letting go--
Yuri grabbed the pistol with lightning speed, and the moment before he made a move, Enemos also pulled the trigger.
Damn, it was too late.
At that moment, Yuri seemed to hear the violent beating of his heart again and again.
Everything in front of him seemed to be slowing down, and slow-motion scenes appeared before his eyes:
his fingertips stretched forward with all his strength, the mocking smile on the corner of Enemos' mouth, and the bullet that was about to be fired from the magazine.
A black shadow flashed out from nowhere, like a ghost.
The slender right leg kicked at the muzzle of the gun with fast, accurate and fierce speed.
"Bang--"
The pistol that was kicked over fired a bullet in an instant, landing on the wall of the infirmary, leaving a black mark left by the bullet.
The leg that kicked at the pistol did not fall, but adjusted its direction and kicked at the red-haired man.
Enemos, whose arms were numb from the shock, immediately crossed his hands in front of his chest to block, and the force transmitted from his forearm made him step back a few steps and leave the attack range.
Enemos put down his aching hand and looked at the person who came.
The man wearing a black hood and revealing a section of long golden hair stood steadily in front of Anatole's nutrient cellar.
No one spoke.
At this time, the three people in the room stood in a triangle, and the air seemed to be condensed and stagnant, and there was a tense atmosphere.
"May I know who you are?"
Yuri looked around, but did not find the figure of this person in his memory.
Since Enemos was stopped from shooting, at least the person who came was not going to kill the admiral. As long as the admiral was saved for the time being...
"Anatole's life is mine." The
man in black robe said to Enemos.
Yuri: "..."
Admiral, how many people have you offended?
Enemos narrowed his eyes and looked up and down at the person in front of him.
"Mercenary 'Falcon'?"
Yuri secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Enemos's name for the mysterious man.
This mercenary known as "Falcon" has been very popular in recent years. Even Yuri, who doesn't pay attention to this group, has heard of this title and his achievements. He
killed five high-ranking government officials and two pirate leaders in a month.
Although those who died at his hands were not very clean people, anyone would be very wary of such a high-destructive weapon.
What Yuri didn't understand was that according to this person's previous selection criteria for assassination targets, his own admiral shouldn't be among them, right?
Regardless of Yuri's doubts, Enemos, as the leader of the great pirates, had heard of this mercenary known as "Falcon" in the industry:
a famous lone ranger with a terrifyingly high mission completion rate. It would be very troublesome to deal with such a person, but...
"That's really unfortunate, my target is also him."
Enemos sighed with regret.
"...I owe you a favor."
Jun Zhaoliu glanced at the soldiers who were still fighting desperately outside.
"Okay." Enemos answered readily, turned around and walked out, making a gesture to let his men retreat.
Facing this famous mercenary, Enemos could not guarantee that he could escape unscathed.
If both sides were to suffer losses, the other team would benefit. Enemos did not want to be such a scapegoat.
And looking at this "Falcon" who was coming with great momentum, it was estimated that he was here to seek revenge on Anatole.
