Chapter 557 My Brother’s Boss’s Boss is Really Awesome
"I knew that people like us can't be trusted."
"Alas, there should be no hope."
"Why on earth did those Imperial dogs arrest us? We're just scavengers, not wanted criminals. Is it illegal to pick up trash?"
"My brother really came to save me. I have asked him for help three times, and he must have believed it." Zorro forced himself to sit up and explained.
Asking for help three times? Surely he believed it? Everyone was too tired to complain.
"How strong is your brother?" the goblin next to him asked in a bad tone.
"A-level..." Zoro managed to speak, gasping for breath.
"F**k, what's the point of an A-rank? This is an entire formation of the Wandering Legion, seven A-rank lifeforms!"
"Don't worry, my brother is not good enough, but his boss is very powerful..." Zoro did not say a word this time, and continued: "To be more precise, his boss's boss is very powerful."
There was silence all around. After a moment, a cold laugh suddenly rang out: "How powerful are you?"
"Well..." Zoro hesitated, "It's hard to say right now, but it's really powerful anyway."
This response immediately caused a burst of sneers. "If you are so powerful, then why did your brother, the boss, come to save you? You are just a B-level life form. What value do you have?"
"Just because your brother is following his little brother, he has to offend the empire for you?"
"Forget it if you don't believe me."
Zoro was feeling unwell and didn't bother to say anything more.
Suddenly, rainbow-colored noise exploded on his retina, and a large number of jailbreak plans, both true and false, roared in his mind at the same time.
He saw himself being cut into pieces by laser seven days later.
He saw the scene of successfully breaking through the prison ship and escaping again, and he also saw the scene of himself being captured again.
All possibilities have an equally strong sense of reality and seem to be destined to happen in the future.
A large amount of information was intertwined in his mind, and he felt like his head was about to explode.
Everything in front of me was hazy, and the sounds around me gradually became quieter.
"What's wrong with this guy?"
Everyone looked at each other, looking at Zorro who was lying on the ground with blood coming out of all his orifices and almost no longer breathing.
"This... won't make you die of shame..."
"Didn't I hurt him too much just now? He was able to escape three times in a row, which is quite impressive..."
Everyone was muttering to each other, and at this moment, the cabin suddenly shook, accompanied by a loud roar, and everyone was thrown to the ground.
Some people bumped into the railings, sparking electric arcs and screaming in pain.
"What happened? Did something happen?" Everyone was confused and worried, and then they looked at Zorro, whose life or death was unknown.
"Could it be..."
In the fleet's main ship, a group of commanders looked solemnly at the virtual screen in front of them, and alarms continued to sound.
The holographic star map twitched into a sharp polyhedron, and the blood-red alarm light cast a dancing shadow on the face of each commander.
The subordinate hurriedly reported, "Captain Curtis, someone has intercepted our dimensional jump..."
"Who dares to attack the Empire's fleet?" Curtis's face was grim, his brows furrowed as he issued a series of orders, "Enter emergency defense mode, build a regional defense array, and fully charge all main guns..."
"captain!"
The commander standing in front of the porthole suddenly shouted that their communication equipment had been cut off and they could only observe with the naked eye.
Curtis' figure flashed and he was already in front of the porthole, his expression changed drastically.
I saw a row of standard warships suddenly appearing in the surrounding dimensional space. The armor surfaces that reflected the cold light were actually covered with fine energy cracks, and each gap was gushing with blue-purple space turbulence.
The thrusters at the rear of the battleship, which had not yet been completely extinguished, were spewing out purple flames, and a large number of combat machines emerged from them one after another, densely packed and covering the sky.
"That's..." He immediately locked onto the logo on the left side of a warship, a half-clenched metal hand. After a brief moment of thought, he locked onto the target and said in astonishment, "The Mechanical Court?"
"Mechanical Court?"
The surrounding combat commanders couldn't help but look over and asked in surprise, "The forces under Qinglong's command?"
"Why would they suddenly attack us?"
The commanders, who had not been too panicked originally, began to feel uneasy at this moment.
Immediately afterwards, eight mechanical bodies emitting a strong energy aura flew out. Curtis's expression tensed and his face turned pale. "S-class mechanical bodies, eight more..."
This scale clearly shows that they are here to wipe them out.
"This is the Mechanical Royal Court. Friends of the Empire, please don't be nervous..." A cold mechanical voice suddenly sounded in the communication signal.
"We have no ill intentions. We simply want to retrieve a person from your hands, a member of the Mechanical Royal Court."
"Just for one person?" Curtis paused.
The cabin was silent, and everyone was confused.
All the people they caught during this period were scavengers, so there shouldn't be any important people.
He adjusted his composure and said in a deep voice, "Friends of the Mechanical Royal Court, we are willing to cooperate. Please provide us with the information and we will hand the person over."
drop--
As soon as he finished speaking, a piece of information was passed over.
"Zorro?" Curtis looked at the face on the screen and felt vaguely familiar.
"...He seems to have escaped prison three times. He's definitely not a simple person. Turns out he's from the Mechanical Court..."
Hearing the noise from the people next to him, Curtis suddenly remembered that this guy was indeed a little special.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "I didn't know they were from the Mechanical Royal Court. This is a misunderstanding. I'll let them go now."
He signaled with his eyes, and the commander next to him immediately gave orders.
In the prison cabin, everyone was still confused, and seemed to be able to notice that the battleship was still parked in the same place.
Buzz—the hatch opened again.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Joseph who had taken off his combat armor. However, his face looked a little ugly, and there was a large group of soldiers following behind him.
He walked quickly towards a cell, and when he saw Zorro lying on the ground, his life or death unknown, his expression changed drastically, and his voice was a little panicked: "Quick, quick, go save him."
The soldiers behind him were in a panic. Some of them were obviously medical soldiers. They quickly opened the hatch and walked in, and methodically removed the blockade device on Zorro.
And began to inject various recovery potions.
There was complete silence in the cell. Everyone stared at the bizarre scene in front of them, their throats rolling.
An irresistible guess emerged in my mind——
The boss of his brother's boss really came?
Are you so loyal?
Perhaps Zorro was not destined to die. After a few minutes of rescue, he suddenly coughed up blood.
He suddenly jumped up from the ground, his face still a little dazed, and immediately assumed a fighting stance.
But the severe pain in his muscles made it difficult for him to maintain.
However, when he saw Joseph with a serious expression and the medical soldiers around him examining his body.
His brows furrowed. "Let me guess. Someone came to save me?"
"Since you are from the Mechanical Royal Court, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Joseph said coldly.
"Mechanical Court?"
When the people around heard the name, they all took a deep breath. They certainly knew about this rapidly rising new force.
Backed by the super-powerful figure of Master Craftsman Qinglong, the leader is his student Li Ming, who is also very famous and is known as the person with the highest development potential in the interstellar space.
Zorro is from the Mechanical Court? That doesn't match what he said before.
Suddenly, everyone's faces froze.
The boss of the brothers’ boss, could he be referring to Qinglong?
This big boss is so easy to talk to, he is willing to come to rescue?
"Let's go." Joseph said in a deep voice.
Zorro's body swayed, and his expression was restrained. He did not have the slightest intention of taking advantage of the situation to bully others, nor did he take the opportunity to mock. He followed silently.
Now, the most important thing is to leave here first, he is still in someone else's hands.
"Zorro, don't forget me..."
“Save us…”
Seeing Zorro leaving here surrounded by a group of people, there was a sudden roar of applause from all around.
Following Joseph onto the small aircraft, the bluish-white air wave exploded from the engine nozzle and exited the ship's mouth.
The scenes on both sides made him breathe hard. Mechanical bodies like a sky curtain surrounded the imperial fleet, silent and yet like a star ring.
The most eye-catching thing is that the eight mechanical bodies exude a strong energy aura, and the surging energy turbulence forms a coronal ring.
His temples were throbbing with pain as the overloaded energy radiation in the air was penetrating the hull of the aircraft. It could also be called the pressure of a higher life form.
"With such a big scene, does that bastard Robin have such a big face?"
Zorro swallowed his saliva, feeling sour in his heart. He knew that Robin had some secrets, so he thought Qinglong had bad intentions in capturing him.
But now, it seems different from what he imagined, and it seems that he is quite valued.
Joseph's face was solemn. From the first time Zorro was captured to the last time he was captured, he was the one who carried out the execution. The fact that his superiors asked him to escort him was self-evident.
They didn't know Zorro's exact identity, but if he was honorable, then he was making amends.
"Don't worry, Imperial dog. Even though you beat me up pretty hard, you were just following orders. I won't take your life."
Zorro's voice came from behind, and Joseph's face changed. Following the command of the Mechanical Royal Court, he drove the aircraft to dock with a warship.
When Zorro came down, he saw Robin standing on the platform, wearing a custom-made combat uniform and looking like a decent man.
"Fuck!" After holding it in for a long time, Zorro couldn't help but squeeze out a word from between his teeth.
"Haha..." Robin grinned and looked at Zorro who seemed to have suffered a serious injury. He didn't care. Instead, he said with a tut, "It seems that you haven't been doing well recently."
"You..." Zoro's expression changed. He walked up quickly and whispered, "You're awesome. I'll ask you for one more favor. My men are still in their hands. Can you take them over together?"
Robin's face twitched slightly, "Fuck, why didn't you say so earlier?"
"Aren't these all your people? The people under me are all small characters and not important." Zorro urged.
"Who told you these are all my people?" Robin said with a grim expression. "The Empire also has to maintain its dignity. Surrounding them is already disrespectful enough."
"Now you're going back on your word and asking for another group of people. Isn't this a slap in their face?"
"Besides, I can't make my own decisions. These machines won't listen to me."
Zorro was still worthy of his and Li Ming's help, but he had only met a few of Zorro's men and didn't care about them at all, let alone ask Li Ming for mercy.
Zorro's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Talk to him. There is something in my body. As long as he is willing to rescue my men, he can do whatever he wants to me, even if it means dissecting me. I am willing to do that."
"You..." Robin's face changed slightly, but a voice came from the side, "Okay."
The bright blue light intertwined, and it was Li Ming's virtual projection that descended. He looked Zorro up and down, "You are a responsible boss. Remember what you said."
Zoro was stunned for a moment, took a deep breath, ignored Robin's gesture, and nodded heavily.
Li Ming immediately issued an order, "Seize the Empire's fleet and don't let anyone escape."
The response in the “Yes…” channel was brief and powerful.
Zoro widened his eyes and looked at Robin. Is it that simple?
Robin snorted coldly, "I'm the boss, you idiot, think about yourself."
Li Ming then looked at Zorro with an indifferent expression: "I will send someone to escort you back as soon as possible. I know you have some special abilities, but I remind you that it is best to appear in front of me in one piece."
"Uh..." Zoro was stunned, his face embarrassed. "Um, Boss Li Ming, can you let me think about what you just said?"
Li Ming ignored him and the projection disappeared.
A shadow covered the two of them. At some point, an S-class mechanical figure riding a mechanical warhorse appeared behind them.
Zoro turned stiffly, his cheeks twitching as he managed a forced smile.
It didn't take too long to return from the dimensional world.
Zoro was nervous all the way, and he was still asking questions until he came out of the dimensional portal.
“…I don’t mind dissecting me, but can you spare my life?” Zorro followed Robin in a small aircraft.
I didn't even have time to appreciate the magnificent artificial planets around me, and my heart was filled with anxiety.
"Are you scared now? What did you agree to in the first place?" Robin sneered.
"...Who knew it would be so easy? After all, it's the Empire. I thought it would take some effort, but it ended up being just a matter of a word." Zorro looked dejected and helpless.
Robin said indifferently: "Let's just pray that the thing in your body can be easily taken out."
His face was filled with sorrow, and he added, "I'm afraid that's impossible. The Empire's rigorous testing measures haven't revealed anything, so how could it be so easy to remove it?"
Robin glanced at him and was quite curious about the thing in Zorro's body, but he restrained himself and never asked.
"arrive…"
Soon after, the two arrived at the star base and, led by the mechanical body, went straight into the Heavenly Palace.
Zoro looked left and right along the way, his face full of envy: "This is the boss's base."
"Don't make jokes later." Robin warned. Zorro also knew the seriousness of the matter and nodded quickly.
Stepping into the magnificent highest hall, Zorro met Li Ming, the young but already emerging in the interstellar space, the life form with the highest potential for interstellar development, the student of Qinglong.
Quite handsome.
He looked at her cautiously, but saw that the other person's gaze was also on him, like a bottomless pool, calm and without ripples.
Then he slowly stretched out his hand.
What kind of etiquette is this?
Zoro felt a little embarrassed and hesitated for a moment. Just as he was about to step forward, his body suddenly stiffened.
As he looked horrified, a bright blue light flew out from his chest and slowly fell into the other person's hand.
Smooth and natural, as if it was supposed to be in the other person's hands.
