Chapter 652: Meet Again
The Klund Empire's border troops.
As the name suggests, they are the troops stationed at the border of Klund, and their main responsibility is to guard against foreign enemies.
Other tasks such as smuggling and hunting down fugitives are handled by specialized police departments.
It was only many years ago that this border force began to do the work of the police department. They hunted down fugitives, searched for stowaways, and eliminated all possibilities of entering or escaping from Klund, both inside and outside.
Now that all wormholes have been closed, it is actually impossible for anyone to choose to escape from the border.
Over the years, border troops have rarely seen anyone dare to run towards the Dark Star Sea.
The warp channel in the Klund Empire is closed. It would take nearly a thousand years to reach the nearest warp location by traveling at the speed of light alone, and this warp location may not even exist.
Going in without any preparation is almost the same as waiting to die.
Even with preparation, it is not certain that one can really reach the destination. There are too many dangerous areas on the edge of the Dark Star Sea, and there are many dangers even inside the Dark Star Sea.
A group of level 4 or 5 people trying to get through is simply courting death.
But since no one broke in, the border troops had no extra income, so they turned their attention to the surrounding planets.
So once they see the border troops coming, the indigenous peoples of these planets will spontaneously become alert.
For example, now.
The border troops of the Klund Empire use biological spaceships. They are not smuggled by pirates, or simply formed by themselves. They have mechanical spaceships in the imperial and federal styles.
When they saw a huge star beast streaking across the sky, they knew that Klund’s border troops were coming.
The commander of the border army corps in charge of guarding this part of the star region is called Anta. He has the genes of a dragon (Western) in his body, which is manifested in scales on his forehead and some parts of his body, and a very long dragon tail behind him.
Because she has dragon genes in her body, she is also very tall, which is obvious.
Just standing there can attract countless people's attention.
Coupled with her own temperament as an eighth-level strongman, she is even more eye-catching.
But today...she was going to attract more attention than usual.
Because next to her, there was a man from the leopard tribe.
"Tsk, he is worthy of being the commander of the Anta Army. There is actually a man following him."
"After all, he is the commander of the army..."
"That's true. Alas...men..."
Seeing the spaceship landing, Anta walked with the leopard male in his arms like a victorious general, and the residents below were whispering.
They appear to approve, but in reality they are mocking with jealousy and envy.
However, they did not dare to shout out loud, because everyone knew how cruel General Anta was. If she really heard it, the outcome would probably not be good.
But in fact, they were worrying too much. With the strength of the eighth level, and the Klund people who mainly focused on physical strength, their voices were all heard by Anta as early as when the spacecraft landed.
However, she didn't say anything. Instead, she deliberately straightened her chest and hugged the boy next to her tighter.
"...General Anta, you have some strength..."
The boy beside him let out a soft cry of pain. The cry was not loud, but it still made Anta loosen his hand:
"Oh, sorry, sorry, Kiri, I just... I'm just a little excited..."
"It's okay. I understand."
"I understand, I understand... Um, what you said before... as long as I listen to you during this period, you will marry me... Is this... true?"
General Anta, who seemed majestic in the eyes of others, was now like a little girl in ancient times, asking the boy questions cautiously.
The boy smiled at Anta: "Of course it's true. After all, I have nowhere to go now. Of course, I have to rely on someone stronger than others to protect me... right?"
"Yes, yes, yes. I promise, there is no one stronger than me in this entire star region! I can definitely protect you!"
Anta patted his chest and made a solemn promise.
The young man's smile became brighter and more handsome. He said to Anta, "Then what is General Anta worried about?"
The boy's gentle words made Anta feel very comfortable.
She nodded slightly, then looked around with an even more complacent look, her eyes full of the arrogance of a superior.
(No, didn’t you say you disdain to use this method? Then why are you so skilled at it?!)
When the young man... Li Qi, was charming General Anta with his soft voice, Xinlian finally couldn't help but complain.
I don't know who it was who had said "I don't like this" in a serious tone before, but turned around and faced the top brass of the border army, and began to exude his charm wantonly.
This General Anta seems to be at the eighth level, but now he has become Li Qi's love puppet. If he stays for a while longer, General Anta might even die for Li Qi.
"Just because you don't want to use it doesn't mean you won't use it. If the method works, why not use it?"
Li Qi argued with Xin Lian without blushing or beating his heart, and then said: "Or do you have a better way to deal with the border troops?"
Xinlian wanted to say, my method is the same method you are using now, but seeing that Li Qi didn't want to reason at all, she wisely chose to shut up.
Forget it, forget it. After all, she is just a small Horcrux and has no say.
Xinlian died down and Li Qi didn't continue talking to her.
For Li Qi, confusing the commander of the border army is the most cost-effective way.
It's better than actually destroying this legion and then being wanted by the Klund Empire.
By hooking up with Army Commander Anta, Li Qi will have an official identity in Klund. Moreover, this Army Commander has great power and can go to many places that Li Qi cannot go.
With her identity as a guarantee, Li Qi can enter some "forbidden areas" in Klend unimpeded.
As for now, Li Qi wants Anta to help find the legend about the inherited mecha in Klendene.
Li Qi had heard the legends about the inheritance mechas in the Empire and the Federation, but he knew nothing about Klund's attitude towards the inheritance mechas and the records related to them.
Anta was bewitched by Li Qi and did not doubt him at all. She stopped the pirate ship, searched for Li Qi and Angie on board, and then she immediately believed them both.
And he began to search for the legend about the ancient empire's inherited mecha inside Klund as Li Qi said.
At the same time, they also prepared clearance certificates and spaceships for the two, because Li Qi said that he and his sister were explorers and wanted to explore this universe.
Anta, who had long been intoxicated by the beauty, didn't think too much about it. He not only prepared relevant things for Li Qi, but also gave the two of them a large sum of money.
But at this moment, the thing that Li Qi hated happened again.
Yes, it was an accident.
This is a word that Li Qi hates very much now.
Accident, happened again.
It was neither a natural disaster nor a man-made disaster, and Li Qi did not expose his identity. He just met a familiar person here, a woman he had met once on the Imperial Star.
[Coordinates] Holder, Brianna.
"Hey, Commander Anta, where did you get this little beauty?"
The coordinates appeared directly in Anta's room. Sitting on a cabinet, she saw Li Qi next to Anta and asked with a smile, with the mask facing Li Qi.
Brianna was still dressed the same way as when Li Qi first met her.
She was wearing a silver-white knight uniform similar to the ones worn by members of the Renaissance Society, and an opaque helmet on her head. The cat ears on the helmet moved as if they had life. That was her symbol.
This is also one of the reasons why Li Qi recognized her identity.
"Brina, why are you here!" Anta said to Brianna in a dull voice.
She directly called out the other person's name, which further confirmed Li Qi's guess, but at the same time also made Li Qi certain of another thing.
Brianna and Anta knew each other well.
Very familiar.
Brina dodged and came down from the top of the cabinet, coming to Anta's side, walking lightly, and then explained:
"I'm just bored, and the princess doesn't like me hanging around her."
"So you come to trouble me?"
Anta's expression was even uglier. It could be seen that although the two were familiar with each other, their relationship did not seem to be very good.
Brina disappeared and reappeared in front of the bookshelf in the room. She observed the books used as decoration on the bookshelf, looked them up and down, and then answered Anta's question: "I'm not here to cause trouble for you. I'm here to work. More than ten hours ago, I sensed that there was a special spatial fluctuation at the border you were responsible for. I suspect that someone must have smuggled in...you..."
As Brina spoke, she glanced at Li Qi beside her, and then asked Anta, "Do you have any clues, Commander Anta?"
"It was a group of pirates who wanted to sneak out of Klund. I've already dealt with them. Do you have anything else to do?"
Anta's tone was harsh and his attitude towards Brianna was extremely bad.
Brina didn't care much, she shook her head:
"Oh, then according to Commander Anta, there is a group of fifth-order... maybe sixth-order? Seventh-order? Probably a pirate team like this. They have obtained super-high-end technology that can break through the national barrier and are trying to escape from the border. Am I right in understanding this?"
She put emphasis on the word 'attempt'.
Anta frowned: "Is there a problem?"
"And such a group of pirates was easily dealt with by you, Commander Anta. Now here comes the problem." Brina clapped her hands: "Where are the high-end technical equipment of those pirates? Why didn't you hand it over?"
“…”
"And the space fluctuations I sensed didn't seem to be generated by leaving from the inside, but by coming in from the outside. Commander Anta, can you explain to me why this is happening?"
Brianna's tone sounded very innocent, as if she was asking Anta like an ignorant girl.
But no matter how you listen to these words, they sound a bit weird.
Anta couldn't answer Brianna's question. She gritted her teeth and said to Brianna in a businesslike manner:
"I will look into this matter."
"You should indeed conduct an investigation, and how about... starting with this little beauty?"
Brina said this, turning her attention to Li Qi who was watching the show on the side.
