In fact, since the arrival of the giant spaceships, Hilda and the ministers around her had been in a state of confusion. It had to be said that the group of captains that Hao Ren had gathered through the connections of 883 were birds of a feather. Their common style of doing things had caught the elves, who were determined to conduct a high-level diplomatic operation, off guard. The originally planned welcome ceremony was canceled, the diplomatic manuscript was declared invalid before it could even be read, and a large number of diplomats were left hanging on the platform. A group of starship captains had already started work before they could even get a foothold. Their swift and decisive attitude was even worse than Hilda's.
But when he thought about it, it made sense. Most private spaceflight captains were probably like this. They were here to get work, and to them, today was considered a daily business. Who else would take a shower and change their clothes before going out for a nap?
Fortunately, Hilda had more or less expected this situation and had given her subordinates the necessary training. Although the various functional departments of Aerym were confused at first, they quickly got on the right track and began to transfer materials and personnel according to the plan.
Hao Ren and Hilda stood on the high balcony of the Royal District, looking down at the busy scene of the city below. Looking at the nervous, expectant, and confused faces, the elves seemed a little caught off guard. Although preparations had begun three days ago, when the giant fleet suddenly appeared over the floating island, everyone still felt that it was unreal. Vimm could not help but pinch his ears and said, "Eh... this is not a dream..."
Vivian looked at Hilda and said, "Is it okay for the two of you to just watch at a time like this? It stands to reason that the higher-ups should be on the frontline at this time, right? "
"No, all the work is handled by a specialized department. This kind of large-scale operation requires a large number of professional staff and strict cooperation, not one or two big shots on the scene. My work with Vimm has been over for the past three days. Now we just need to watch everything go according to plan." Hilda smiled as she looked at the huge, strange shadow floating slowly over the domed city. "Finally... it has begun. The hard work of the past three days has not been in vain."
As she spoke, she lowered her head and looked at her slightly glowing body. "I suddenly realized that this form, which is called 'living holy spirit', has another advantage. I don't feel tired. I haven't rested at all for the past three days, but now I feel quite energetic."
Lily looked at Hilda's shimmering body. After careful observation, she found that Hilda's body seemed to have dimmed a little. "It's still affecting me. Don't you realize that your soul has faded?"
Hao Ren said, "… Girl, you're really creative. How about I give you a big bone to cover your stupid mouth?"
Lily was delighted. "Okay, okay!"
At this time, a group of miscellaneous shuttles with different styles of paint flew over from the northeast sky. They were the captains of the immigration fleet. When they approached the platform in the Royal District, they were not stopped at all. Obviously, they had applied for the air route in the dome in advance. The shuttles landed smoothly on the Royal District platform. A muscular man with a square face jumped out of the triangular spaceship in the lead. It was the captain of 883, whom they had not seen for a while. Behind this captain were the captains from other spaceships. Most of them were humanoid creatures, but there were a few aliens with strange bones among them. These captains had just circled around the other gates of the city, greeted the first batch of passengers, and distributed some small advertisements to their heart's content. Only now did they come to meet Hao Ren.
883 was very enthusiastic. Hao Ren didn't know if it was because he missed Hao Ren after not seeing him for a long time, or because he was excited to earn a lot of money from being an inspector, but he always gave Hao Ren a bear hug. "Hey, Hao Ren, why do you feel so uncomfortable after we last met?"
Hao Ren's body shimmered. "Of course. I activated my shield when I saw your body …"
The ministers behind Hilda finally saw the captain of the ship. They all came up to him and greeted him. The veterans immediately responded with the enthusiasm of the interstellar age. "Hello, hello. I'm Kabala, the commander of the Distant Planet. This is my name card …" "I'm the captain of the White Empress. This is my name card …" "No.883, we use both passengers and cargo. Let's keep in touch." "Yaolong, we specialize in large-scale passenger transport. This is our brochure …"
Hao Ren went up to them and chased them away. "Alright, alright! You guys are in too much of a hurry. It'll take at least a few years for them to settle down. Who knows when they'll need to travel in deep space. Is it really necessary to get business now? "
The group of old captains looked at each other. Someone yelled, "This is called an early investment. Don't underestimate these bastards. One of them might sneak away!"
"What kind of people did you find?" Hao Ren pulled 883 aside and whispered to him. The latter chuckled and said, "We've known each other for decades in the business world. Don't worry, he's a good person. But we're all like this. No matter who we meet, as long as they're intelligent, we'll send an advertisement to them. What if they become our customers after a few years? "
Hilda's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at the somewhat rude but passionate captains. She then suddenly bowed deeply. "Thank you for coming to help."
"Don't do that. You're making me embarrassed to charge you." 883 quickly moved away and looked at Hao Ren curiously. "Is this Her Majesty?"
Hao Ren nodded, and the group of people immediately surrounded Hilda and continued to advertise …
After a while, the elves finally got used to the enthusiasm of the veteran captains. They rested in the reception room at the corner of the Royal Platform. At the same time, various staff members reported the status of the transport ships to their superiors. A considerable number of elves had safely arrived in the cabins of the transport ships. They seemed to have adapted well to the ecological environment on board. The handover between the Aerymian leader and the staff of the transport ships was smooth. Hao Ren suddenly remembered something. "By the way, Hilda, how did you deal with the Lotto Group in the end?"
"All the skeptical elves are now on Darklight Isle," Hilda replied. "It's the base of the Lotto Group and many dissident groups. Through incitement and the last two days, I've finally succeeded in letting the skeptical dissidents completely 'occupy' Darklight Isle. Now, the isle has moved to the end of the island chain. There are people on it who don't believe in the Great Migration. They refuse to cooperate at the moment, but they can't change the overall situation."
"You're trying to coax and isolate them?" Hao Ren nodded. "So this is your solution. You can't just keep isolating them, can you?"
"Of course not. This is just a temporary compromise and delay. I want to wait until most of the elves have settled down in their new homes. By then, even the Lotto Group will not have to be stubborn in the face of solid evidence. They will naturally cooperate."
Hilda's method was gentle and effective. It seemed that she had planted her own forces in the dissident groups such as the Lotto Group. Perhaps it was to maintain the stability of the kingdom, or perhaps it was because the threat of the Lotto Group was not greater than the cost of uprooting them, she did not do anything to them. But now, the situation called for it, and the agents she planted in the dissident groups came in handy: they lured the dissident groups to gather on a floating island. The Lotto Group was probably still celebrating their success in occupying a territory. They had no idea that they were just temporarily quarantined.
883 listened to the conversation between Hao Ren and Hilda and asked curiously, "What's going on? Is there something fishy going on? "
Hao Ren briefly explained the situation of the Lotto Group and the other elves who questioned the Great Migration. He smiled and waved his hand. "Don't worry, it won't affect them much anyway."
883 thought for a moment and felt that it was not a problem at all. "Don't bother. It's just asking them to move. I have a way."
Hao Ren was puzzled. "You have a way? First of all, we don't do kidnappings. We're here to do something good today, you can't use violence. Even if the dissidents are not guilty, they're just suspicious. "
883 laughed. "Don't worry, there's no need for violence." He then looked across the table. "Kaipa, are your three ships ready?"
Hao Ren followed 883's line of sight and found an incredible creature squatting on the opposite side of the table. It looked like a plant. The upper part of the plant had leaves like a mimosa, but the lower part of the plant was a mechanical structure. Its roots were intertwined with a series of mechanical arthropods. It looked very strange. The plant was small in size, so it squatted directly on the table. No one had noticed it before. It was just a "person" squatting there in a daze. At the same time, it extended one of its roots into the small basin next to it to drink water.
It did not seem to be among the old pilots who posted the advertisement. It was a low-key guy, no wonder it was overlooked.
"There's still twenty minutes left. The force field generator isn't that easy to activate." A slightly sharp electronic synthesized voice came from the mechanical structure of the lower half of the plant's body. "The air in this place isn't very good. I feel that my leaves are a little withered … Popas! How many times have I told you not to smoke next to me! "
The other captain who was smoking next to the plant quickly put out his cigarette with an awkward smile. "Haha, it's a habit, a habit …"
Hao Ren was stunned. The world was full of strange things. It turned out that the captain profession had a herb member?!
