The Queen of the Free Kingdom of Gotark? She wants to meet us?
This wasn't too out of our expectations. A gigantic army suddenly appeared on our territory, claiming to be the XXX Federation's military. Not only that, they easily wiped out a large number of invaders who had occupied our colonial planet. No one would be able to withstand such a huge commotion. However, the fact that the Empress, whom we had only heard of but never seen in person, was personally coming was rather intriguing.
To be fair, I felt that my charm wasn't at the level where I could hook up with a Queen who was hundreds of millions of light years away (According to Zeon's friendly reminder, the Queen was still young and unmarried). A suspicious fleet suddenly appeared within the borders of the Kingdom. The Queen should have issued an edict for us to go over or sent a special envoy to contact us. For her to come personally — wasn't it a little beneath her status? Or did the Queen, who was full of foresight, discover some shocking secret of the New Eden Federation?
Also, speaking of the unmarried Queen, although it sounds quite alluring, it doesn't appeal to me at all. I already have a Queen at home who is both entertaining and entertaining. Just that one can eat up a third of any African country's grain harvest. If I have another one, won't I empty out the national treasury?
The plan to personally head to the Great Nebula region was slightly modified. I also wanted to see who the Queen of the Free Kingdom was. Naturally, I couldn't leave. A group of Proteus warriors were sent to investigate on our behalf. I believed that with Liliana's ability to harm the common people, even if she was blind, deaf, and blind, she would be able to sense the apocalypse in the air no matter where she went. Not to mention, the scouts who specialized in investigation. As long as we could regain contact with Liliana, everything would be fine.
The departure of the Proteus scouts didn't alarm the Free Kingdom's army. They directly launched from within the Light of Aiur. In this slightly delicate period, as a foreign army that descended from the sky and was about to welcome the Queen, we had to avoid causing any misunderstandings as much as possible.
We had already stayed on Planet Jedas for two days. In this period of time, other than allowing the Federation's spaceship to rest and reorganize, as well as allowing the two thousand unfortunate soldiers to recuperate from their injuries, my more important task was to accompany the excited Qian Qian and the lively Weska as they wandered around. This foreign planet was different from any other world we had been to before. Firstly, it was a high-tech plane. This made Qian Qian, who had always dreamed of becoming an astronaut and piloting a spaceship since she was young (How did this lass manage to write such a shocking plot in her third grade essay about "piloting a spaceship to destroy the evil Martians and rule the solar system to become the queen of the universe"?) I was overjoyed. This was a place where culture and technology were developing at an unimaginable rate. Jayne's stuttering about the local situation only fueled the two curious girls' passion for exploration. The two girls, one older and one younger, dragged me around the streets and alleys almost every day, trying to find any men in black hiding among the aliens …
Since I had nothing to do, I might as well go crazy with Shallow Shallow. But after going crazy, I really discovered something interesting.
First of all, humans weren't the only species in this world — I mean the humanoid creatures that looked the same as humans on Earth.
Here, humanoid creatures accounted for about 50% of the total population (this was a very high proportion, if you knew how many highly intelligent creatures were gathered on this planet), but the remaining 50% were aliens that looked more or less strange to us. I thought to myself that this wasn't easy. These days, the language of Earth had already unified the multiverse, and yet we were still able to see genuine aliens in this foreign world. At least someone still had a little bit of dedication. Aliens, after all, there wasn't much to say about them. In the past few years, Shallow Shallow and I had seen all kinds of strange creatures. Let's not talk about the distant ones. Look at Durotar, how many look like humans? Look at Teldrassil, look at Thunder Cliff, look at Gloom City. How many look like humans in the above places? Strictly speaking, those places were all considered alien territories. Furthermore, there were Proteans in the New Eden Confederation. Aliens weren't rare to us, but the aliens in this world were a little more noteworthy.
There were just too many species … Ahem, this might sound a little rude, but from what Qian Qian and I saw, there were dozens of different species living in the capital city of Jedas. Their skin colors and facial features varied, and their heights ranged from 0.9m to 9.9m. I had always thought that Azeroth's ecosystem was chaotic enough, but I didn't expect it to be even more exaggerated in this world. The dozens of alien species appearing together was a fresh experience for Qian Qian. Taking a picture with an alien had become her biggest hobby for the past two days. For a time, the rumors of a "group photo witch" in the capital city made the residents panic. Bai Qian Qian would lose her sense of time when she was happy, and she just so happened to be able to control time. Recently, there were more and more alien students wandering the streets early in the morning, claiming that they had lost a large portion of their memories …
At this time, I finally understood why Zeon was so calm when he saw Zeratul with us. This world was full of different species …
A large number of aliens from different planets, civilizations, and technological levels formed the main citizens of some countries in this universe. This was a true era of the universe. This might more or less explain why the fleets we encountered were pieced together like a militia, like a DIY exhibition. Originally, this place might have implemented the military service system of medieval Europe, where the poor knights carried the title of nobility (tail) and had to prepare their own weapons and armor when they really went to war. If the spaceships of Zeon and the pirates were also collected in this way, it would be easy to understand why they were able to deploy more than twenty different spaceships when they went out on patrol. Alright, this explanation was still very far-fetched. A highly advanced galactic civilization that didn't even have the concept of standardized equipment was too far-fetched, but could anyone give me a more reasonable explanation? Zeon didn't dare to say anything anymore … This was my problem.
Whenever I encountered something strange, I would always want to get to the bottom of it and find a reasonable explanation. When I really couldn't find a reason, I would just make up a temporary one. This made me feel like a very philosophical philosopher. In this aspect, Shallow Shallow was much more relaxed than me. She wouldn't even think about things that she could understand, let alone things that she couldn't understand. Look at how happy she was right now, leading Visca to sweep through half of the dessert houses in the city …
I can let it go if it's Visca, but Shallow Shallow, are you sure that your stomach can digest those desserts made of God knows what?
"Pandora, aren't you going to play with your sister?"
I said as I tilted my head helplessly to look at the (fake) loli who was grabbing onto my arm as if she was a half-bound piece of equipment. She had been following me without saying a word all this while.
It felt pretty good. Speaking of which, Pandora's 1.2m height was practically made for head-banging. When she hung her arm down, it formed a comfortable 30-degree angle. It was effortless for her to knock on my head …
"No."
Pandora's reply to my question was really concise and comprehensive.
"Big Brother Monopoly, there won't be many chances."
After a moment of silence, Pandora finally nodded her head in conclusion. Her soft little face subconsciously rubbed against the back of my hand. Her gray eyes flashed with a sense of superiority as she looked at Visca, who was lying on the ground with Shallow Shallow at what looked like a roadside food stall, bargaining with a tall and skinny alien. It was obvious that she felt that she had won this time.
What a cheap victory. Your reinforcements were just a bunch of barbecue that happened to attract Visca's attention. However, there was still a barbecue stall on the street of a highly developed foreign capital (I really had no idea what that stall was for). Did the profession of Town Security really disappear in the process of civilization's development?
"Big Brother Monopoly! I'll give you this to eat! "
Just as Pandora was still enjoying the 'fruit of victory' that her younger sister had easily let go of her hand, Visca finally received the food that she and Shallow Shallow had lined up for ten minutes to buy. Holding up a bunch of strange, gray, and smoking cylinders, Visca's cute little face, which was just like Pandora's, was filled with happiness. His red cat eyes were almost squinting into thin lines. The moment I caressed Visca's little head and accepted the "food", Pandora, who was beside me, visibly tightened her arm. Then, a faint voice entered my ears, "I was careless … I lost …"
… Are the two of you competing to improve our relationship?
"Huhu — — Ah Jun, Visca specially saved that for you!" At this moment, Shallow Shallow also jumped over with a bunch of similar things in her hand. She was chewing on half of the "barbecue" that I wasn't even sure if I could eat. "This food is so strange. It looks like meat, but it tastes like apples. That old man said that the real way to eat this is to soak it in the juice of Bamo Bamo and eat it raw. But to cater to the habits of the humans here, he invented this method of barbecuing. The taste doesn't change much, but when it's heated up, it smells a little pungent …"
Fortunately, there were no Town Security on foreign planets. Otherwise, that old man over there would have been dead long ago.
Seeing that Shallow Shallow didn't have an upset stomach after eating so much, I tried this unique alien barbecue as well. Indeed, the texture and appearance of the meat and the taste of the apples. If this was back on Earth, it would definitely be the result of cooking with additives. But here, it was a rare local specialty. In front of Visca's puffed up face, I bent down slightly and stuffed the barbecue into Pandora's mouth. As expected, the two little brats who were competing with each other had once again reversed the situation.
I would never admit that I had the bad taste of teasing lolis!
"Right, about the psionic crater that our special agents discovered when they were fighting on land, did they find anything new?"
I had been wandering around outside with a few crazy brats for two whole days. I felt that if I didn't bring up some serious business now, even Pandora would completely enter a sightseeing mode.
Shallow Shallow didn't care about her puffed up mouth. She immediately raised her hand in excitement. "Oh my god (I sent another probe), ha (discovered) …"
"Swallow it first!"
"Oh." After finishing the 'barbecue' that probably couldn't be digested by humans, Shallow Shallow patted her chest and said, "Of course I wouldn't forget such an interesting thing. I sent a lot of probes over, but they couldn't get close to the center of the crater. There are sentries everywhere."
Even the probes created by the Schilling people couldn't get close? The technology of this world was really unbelievable. How did they actually develop?
"This idiot sister and I both have our guesses," Visca licked the oil stains at the corner of his mouth and glared at Pandora angrily. "I think that it might have been bombed by a psionic weapon, such as a star wave energy missile. Because the explosion wasn't strong enough, it caused a large amount of energy to remain and became the energy well of those low-level civilizations. Idiot sister thinks that there might have been a crash of an Empire spaceship, and the leakage of the spaceship's energy furnace led to the formation of the psionic crater. Hey, big brother, who do you think is right?"
Are you going to start fighting on the spot if I just casually express my opinion?
Both of our guesses were just guesses. When the traces of the Empire's non-flammable garbage appeared in another world again, I knew that the unscrupulous Imperial Army had prepared a huge problem for me. So, any guess was possible.
"What about the star ring? Did you find anything? "
I looked up at the sky. From my position, I could see an extremely blurry silver-gray shadow moving slowly towards the west. The star ring was located at the equator of Jedas, but its own power system seemed to still be operating. This caused the entire ring to sway back and forth at a slow speed within a thirty-degree angle. On the surface of Jedas, the constantly shaking star ring in the sky became a big scene.
"They also launched probes, but the security there is even tighter than the psionic crater," Qian Qian's voice was very discouraged. For this extremely curious girl, launching probes had always been her favorite entertainment in the new world. However, in this place where technology was strange, especially detection technology was abnormally advanced, she was very annoyed that she repeatedly ran into a wall. "After all, it's the power supply of the entire planet …"
"It's confirmed to be a planetary shield generator. It's different from the one used by the Empire." Pandora finished her barbecue and reported her analysis like a robot. "But it's broken. The humans only know how to use it as an energy source. What a waste."
It's broken?
I suddenly had another guess. Could this broken shield generator be related to the crater that was suspected to be the attack point or the crater where the spaceship crashed?
Ugh, there are too many guesses. I can't even sort them out.
Just as Shallow Shallow discovered something interesting and was about to pull me to lead the way, the communicator that Zeon had given us suddenly rang.
"Hello, the owner is currently busy accompanying a girl. If there's anything, please leave a message …" Casually picking up the strange-looking ellipsoidal communicator, I tossed down a few words and prepared to hang up. There was an 80% chance that it was another introduction to this "picturesque" capital city and some new scenic spots. A dignified General might have been too bored recently, so these two days, he was about to switch over to the tourism industry.
It was also better than the two generals beside me who had already switched classes to tourists …
"Lord General (This is the title I randomly gave myself. Does it sound impressive? It's a pity that Zeon couldn't remember the more impressive name of the Grand Marshal of the Frontier Conquering Cavalry). Please hurry to the military center of the colonial planet as soon as possible. We've encountered trouble! "
Alright, sightseeing time was over. It seemed that my troublesome constitution hadn't been written in the past two days. This fellow was accumulating energy to cause trouble for me.
I pulled Shallow Shallow and the two disappointed sisters back to the military center, which was the extremely showy forty-five degree tilted tower. I noticed that the security here had been raised to a whole new level. There were armed guards everywhere, as well as vigilant robots patrolling the area. There was also an endless stream of warning lasers, and … General Zeon was sitting on a chair with a frown and sighing like Hamlet.
It must have been hard on this old man. He was already so old, yet he still had to manage the military and politics. However, the frontier planets of the Free Kingdom seemed to be managed by a combination of military and politics. There was no other reason than the fact that there were only soldiers and miners on the frontier planets. What use was politics?
"Her Majesty the Queen's' Glory of Victory 'fleet has been attacked in the Oblique Star Belt. All of them are trapped!"
In the end, as soon as we met, Zeon gave me such a shocking piece of news.
There were many facts in history that proved that having a mighty name had no effect on the outcome of a war. In a war between two armies, it didn't mean that your name could scare people to death. Think about the invincible Spanish fleet, and then think about the 'Glory of Victory' fleet that was surrounded and beaten up. It was actually the same logic. Big Big Wolf had the word 'wolf' in his name, but he still couldn't beat Pleasant Goat. There was a fat boy in my fifth-grade class who scared girls to tears every day called Nangong Batian …
This was a digression.
"Alright, alright. Your Queen really knows how to cause trouble. It was a mistake for her to come here." Ignoring Zeon's angry expression, I casually sat on the awkwardly tilted chair in the office. There was one more thing that I didn't say: So the Queen's only purpose for coming here was to create a plot for kidnapping?
"Her Majesty the Queen has led us to survive in this dangerous universe until now. Without her bravery and vision, we would have long been killed by the Shepherdians!!"
Zeon, who had always looked like a nice guy, actually got agitated. It seemed that the Queen's prestige in this kingdom was really extraordinary. I could imagine the serious consequences if someone said "Your Emperor is an idiot" in front of the Schilling soldiers. So —
"Alright, I just said it without thinking. So, rescue, right?"
After all, I had a good impression of this strict and unreliable old man. It wouldn't be good if I got mad at him.
However, after such a long time, I actually didn't manage to find a single image of Her Majesty the Queen within the borders of the Free Kingdom. This was truly inconceivable. If you were in China, not to mention the Queen of a galactic civilization, even a deputy mayor would want to announce it to the world.
"I know this is a little too much. You are not from the Kingdom of Freedom." Zeon knew that he was asking for help, so he sat back down dejectedly. "But the nearest garrison to the Oblique Star Belt is here. I need your powerful battleship. Her Majesty the Queen is in danger!"
