Since the trial, everything has gone smoothly. Arnold Percy was targeted by the First Army's investigation team and dared not make any more moves. Charles Hank, who had always wanted to go against them and find fault, also died. Liz Isaacs transferred to the First Federal Military Academy, leaving only Randy Buckle and Dylan Lowell behind.
Randy Buckle was a sophomore and Oakland a junior, so without them in the same class, they were no longer bothered. Dylan, however, refused to give up, occasionally coming over to try to get close to Oakland, still hoping to buy the emblem and storage equipment from him.
Oakland and Hall discussed it and finally decided to wait and not consider cooperating with the Lowell family until the Lowell family and Arnold Percy completely severed their cooperative relationship.
Campus life was peaceful and harmonious. Auckland spent all his time on cultivation and making storage jewelry. All the space equipment he made was first given to the Second Army. The Quartermaster Department placed a large order for Auckland personally, and the amount in his account became increasingly huge.
However, the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. Less than two months after such peaceful days, problems arose.
General Williams received word that a patrol ship of the Third Army, while preparing to depart, had been inspected by the starport garrison during a routine safety inspection. The alleged problem was that not a single mecha was found on the patrol ship.
In space, you may encounter various dangers at any time. If you don’t carry a mecha, you will have no way to escape if you encounter danger. I have never heard of a patrol team not carrying a mecha when on a mission, unless they are not a patrol team but a suicide squad.
It was also bad luck for the Third Army. The starport garrison on their planet happened to be under the command of the Second Army. Therefore, they checked more carefully during the port departure inspection, hoping to cause trouble for the Third Army and at most delay their departure time. However, they did not expect to find such a big problem.
Since it was a security check, without the mechas, the fleet was obviously unsafe. Therefore, the fleet was immediately detained, and the garrison commander immediately contacted General Williams.
General Williams immediately realized the problem. This fleet was probably not without mechas, but was carrying mechas in another way!
He ordered the Starport garrison to search the patrol ship again, and sure enough, they found the same type of "suitcase" in every soldier's cabin. If the suitcases were uniformly distributed to the Third Army, it would make sense, but the fact that these suitcases were even the same weight was a bit strange.
When the Starport garrison proposed to open the boxes for inspection, they were refused by the Third Army patrol.
The star port garrison could not force the box to be opened, so they could only report to General Williams again. General Williams then submitted an application directly to the federal head of state, and finally obtained a search warrant specially approved by the head of state.
The suitcases were indeed problematic; they were mecha storage boxes with a modified exterior, but the substance remained the same. More importantly, they discovered a blood moon symbol on the bottoms of the suitcases. That blood-red moon was the emblem of the notorious Blood Moon Pirates of the Dark Star Region.
During the interrogation, the patrol directly admitted that they had purchased the storage devices from Arnold Percy, but refused to admit that they were related to the Dark Star Region.
The Dark Star Region, as its name suggests, is a land of darkness. The word "darkness" is embodied there, both literally and metaphorically. It's home to vicious interstellar fugitives and various dark forces. There are no laws or rules; only the strong reign. This is also where the black market lies, where, as long as you can afford it, you can buy anything you want.
Trading with people from the Dark Star Region violated federal law! Therefore, the Third Army patrol had no choice but to hand over Arnold Percy. As for why there was a blood moon logo on the suitcase Arnold Percy sold them, they would have to ask Arnold Percy, because they didn't know anyway.
When General Williams learned about this, he was furious. This Arnold Percy was really lingering around. He had been investigated by the First Army Investigation Department for two months, but not only did he not keep a low profile, he even dared to sell items that the federal court had ordered him not to sell, and even had a connection with the Dark Star Region!
The Führer had originally intended to replace the commander of the Fifth Army because of a series of recent events involving Arnold Percy. Now it has been revealed that Arnold has ignored federal laws and privately sold products he illegally seized. As the commander-in-chief of an army, he has even secretly cooperated with the Dark Star Region.
These were beyond the tolerance of the Federal Head of State, who immediately ordered the arrest of Arnold Passy and removed him from his post as commander of the Fifth Army.
General Williams immediately led his team to Arnold's house, but it was empty. Judging from the mess in the house, it was obvious that he left in a hurry.
Later, after multiple investigations, General Williams discovered that a suspicious man and a woman had left the capital planet on a private airship. After in-depth investigation, it was discovered that the suspicious man was actually Arnold Percy who had changed his appearance. He had secretly undergone plastic surgery during the two months of low-key operation and had completely changed his appearance.
His accounts had been emptied and all the valuables in his home had been taken away. Arnold Percy's escape was obviously a carefully planned escape plan. It seemed that he had known that this day would come.
During the investigation, General Williams also discovered that the woman he took away was his wife, but not the one he knew, but Susan Deren, with whom he had been married for less than a month.
According to Arnold Percy's subordinates, Susan Delenn was originally Arnold's mistress. She was a girl from an ordinary family on the colony planet. She possessed a remarkable talent for heraldry and quickly distinguished herself working in the Fifth Army's Quartermaster Department. Her youth and beauty caught Arnold's eye, and the two quickly developed a relationship that went beyond friendship. After Arnold's wife passed away last month, he quietly married Susan Delenn. The mecha storage box that Arnold used to make a fortune was developed with Susan's help.
General Williams immediately sent people to locate the private airship and discovered that it had headed towards the Dark Star Region...
What should I do next?
What else can we do? We must bring Arnold Percy back!
Arnold Percy was so bold that he dared to ignore the federal law, so he would certainly not be so obedient to obey the decision of the federal court. He might have a copy of the ancient magic rune fragment on him. He made a fortune by secretly selling mecha storage boxes at a low price and transferred the funds to other accounts. When he fled, he also took Susan Deren with him so that he could make a comeback in the future!
Carter Williams believed that Arnold Percy must not be allowed to gain a foothold in the Dark Star Domain. This man was vicious and deep-minded. If he was allowed to unify the power of the Dark Star Domain, he would definitely become a major threat to the Federation in the future!
Just wanting to go to the Dark Star Region to capture someone is no easy task. Not to mention the complex network of forces there, and the inherent strength of the forces, coupled with the complex environment surrounding that star region, with wormholes and black holes appearing one after another, it's easy to get into danger if you're not familiar with it.
Otherwise, the federal government would not have allowed those vicious interstellar fugitives and dark forces to reside there for so many years.
It seems that we have to find another way. We have to send a small number of people to sneak in after being disguised, find out the distribution of forces in the dark star field, and find Arnold Percy's whereabouts.
But it's not easy to arrange this person...
