Chapter 99 Fourteenth Legion

In the hyperspace of the galaxy where the pirate space station is located.

The start of the jump engine of the Afterglow Fleet has come to the last minute, and the fleet led by the Defender-class cruiser of the Sinda Company has barely arrived.

They have no way to stop it, so they can only watch the Afterglow Fleet leave and shift their attention to other places in the hyperspace.

After contacting the remaining company fleet in the hyperspace and investigating what happened before, the captain and commander of the cruiser immediately transmitted the situation in the entire galaxy back to the company headquarters.

At the Sinda Company headquarters in the Asconia galaxy.

In the meeting room on the top floor of the headquarters building, where the meeting should have ended long ago, all the directors are still gathered here, waiting for the result.

On the projection screen in the meeting room, the appearance of the Defender captain is displayed.

The chairman had already listened to the Defender Captain's explanation of the situation in hyperspace. Although he was a little anxious, he still kept a calm face and asked the captain: "What do you mean that the military's Ruler class may have been killed by Yuhui's cruiser? I need Chen Ming's information."

Faced with the chairman's question, the Defender Captain lowered his head slightly and said: "According to the information provided by the surviving Cowherd Captain, Chen Ming did enter this hyperspace channel."

"But after our search, we only found some wreckage fragments of the Ruler inside the channel."

"There is no mining ship wreckage, and no traces were left. "

"Combined with the situation that when we first arrived at the target location, we only saw a fleet of Yuhui that had already reached the final stage of the jump. "

"We can only speculate that Yuhui killed the ruler of the military who was chasing Chen Ming. We are not 100% sure about the situation afterwards."

The chairman's eyes stayed on the captain for a moment, and said: "Leave some ships to continue searching, and other ships will be responsible for rescue work. The military will definitely send spacecrafts later. Contact me then."

"Yes."

The screen projection was terminated.

The projections of other directors in the conference room focused their attention on the chairman again.

The chairman cleared his throat and said, "Let's rule out the possibility that Chen Ming was killed by Yu Hui and the entire spaceship was wiped out."

"Although Chen Ming's spaceship was converted from a civilian mining ship, it is certain that he mixed Baiyun steel into the material."

"This material cannot be directly annihilated even when facing the attack of the tachyon spear, so this possibility is ruled out first."

A director followed the chairman's line of thought and said, "Then there is only one possibility left, Yu Hui took Chen Ming away."

Another director agreed and said, "I think this possibility is indeed very high."

"But there is a big difference between being taken away by Yu Hui and being captured or leaving on their own."

"Haven't we discussed the possibility of Chen Ming's ability before? He has the ability to control all spaceships, and Yu Hui's spaceship is also a spaceship."

The directors present basically had some ideas about this conjecture in their minds.

A director immediately asked the question he had thought of before: "But if he can already control a cruiser-class ship, is there any need for him to return to the company? Even putting himself in danger of being hunted down?"

"We all know his experience. We can't say that he suddenly has some special purpose for no reason, right?"

The director's question immediately attracted a rebuttal from the director who had just proposed this idea: "In fact, I don't think he can control the cruiser yet. The use of psychic power always requires the support of mental power."

"He has awakened his psychic power for at most half a year. Even a talented psychic can't cover an entire cruiser with his mental power after awakening for half a year."

"Are you sure?"

"This is the upper limit determined by human physical fitness. I have a say in this regard."

The director said so, and no one else had any opinion on it.

At this time, the chairman, who was listening to the directors' discussion, also spoke up: "My opinion is that Chen Ming definitely has the ability to control Yuhui AI."

"And Yuhui's fleet was contacted by Chen Ming through the Yuhui AI on the Yuhui spaceship he once controlled."

"Why did Yuhui come?"

The chairman immediately replied: "It was Chen Ming's ability."

"Then Yuhui is not worried that Chen Ming will control them in turn?"

The chairman immediately gave another answer: "If Yuhui and the others were worried about this, they shouldn't have appeared in the first place. Letting Chen Ming die there is not the easiest and most convenient choice for Yuhui?"

"Even if they are worried that Chen Ming will not die, wouldn't it be better to wait until the military fails after the action, and then come out to give Chen Ming a final blow?"

"Indeed."

"I think so too."

The chairman's statement was recognized by several directors.

"So I think it is likely that Chen Ming chose to call for Yuhui's rescue when he was forced to the last by the ruler. This is the only completely unrestricted force near the edge star field that can support him."

"Wait a minute, it may not be certain when it comes to this. What about Wu An?"

The chairman's question made the directors present look at the director who managed the Pirate Space Station.

He just spread his hands and said, "I asked, and he gave me an answer that he knew. I don't know what he did."

"Is it possible that it wasn't Yu Hui, but he who rescued him?"

"He is not a psychic who can rescue people personally. When our ship arrived, there was no sign of conflict with Yu Hui except the ruler. It shouldn't be."

"Maybe he has other arrangements?"

"The arrangement that almost killed Chen Ming?"

The chairman reached out and knocked on the table lightly, interrupting the discussion about what Wu An had done, and said, "Don't guess, it's definitely impossible to guess. We don't know what the people in the Psychic Society did. Maybe he has rescued Chen Ming somewhere else."

"And now all the evidence we have found has completely pointed to Yu Hui, so let's assume that it was Yu Hui who took Chen Ming away, and then consider other things."

"Of course, we have to pay more attention to the situation on Wu An's side during this process."

The director who was in charge of the Pirate Space Station nodded and said nothing.

Another director asked, "What should we do now? Go find Yu Hui? Attack him?"

Other directors answered for the chairman directly, "We can't beat them, right? Even if Yu Hui only has a small wave, we can't handle it."

"We can use the thing in the test, we should be able to try it, the combat effectiveness is guaranteed."

The chairman directly rejected the director's proposal and said, "This is the key to our company's competition with several old companies. It is still in the research and development stage and must not be used. Even if we have it, doesn't Yu Hui have it?"

"Just raid them like Yu Hui raided us before. If the efficiency is high enough, we shouldn't collide with them."

The chairman glanced at the director who proposed it and said, "Okay, if we agree to call , where are you going to find Chen Ming? "

"Do you have Yu Hui's star map? Do you know which star system has Yu Hui's colony after passing the buffer zone? Do you know where Chen Ming was taken by Yu Hui? Finding someone is just empty talk now."

"And Chen Ming's current situation, I am very curious about what he thinks about Yu Hui's side, whether he wants to stay with Yu Hui forever, or whether he still has the intention to come back."

"Although there is pressure from the outside environment, since Chen Ming has prepared a backup plan for Yu Hui's rescue, he must have considered what he will do after going to Yu Hui's side."

"This is information we can't confirm at all."

The chairman paused for a while, sighed slightly in his heart, and said: "Chen Ming can contact us with the spaceship he controls, but we We can only send the information we want to convey to his spaceship."

"It's really uncertain when he will see it and when he will reply after seeing it."

"We can only wait for Chen Ming to contact us now."

"So instead of waiting and wasting time, we might as well do other things first."

"To take back our galaxy and our space station, we need to do more than just bring Chen Ming back."

"And even if there is no Chen Ming, after learning that there is sky steel production in the galaxy, we must do whatever it takes to take back the galaxy."

"Compared to the past, now is definitely the best time."

"In addition, we also have the escort fleet that needs rescue, the government that needs explanation, and the military that needs explanation. "These are new things, and the company's original work needs to be continued." "There is no end to what needs to be done." The director sitting on the left of the chairman stood up and said, "Then I will continue to contact the government and explain the matter of the armor-piercing ship, otherwise the company's business will be difficult in the future." "Chen Ming's situation must also be made clear. We will definitely not be able to keep Chen Ming in the future, and it will be difficult to bring Chen Ming back in person." "Since it is not certain whether Chen Ming can come back alive in the end, then use up the last value of his stay." "We have lost a lot, at least we can't even make back the losses." The chairman opened his mouth slightly, but finally did not speak. Watching the director leave the meeting after he finished speaking. Another director suddenly noticed a key word in the chairman's words and asked, "Chairman, what do you mean by the best opportunity?" "This is related to the situation on the military side." The chairman looked at the director in charge of military-related affairs. Although there are military factions in the company, he can be sure that all directors, including this director, are absolutely firm company factions.

The middle management of the company may have some thoughts because of the temptation of some interests from the military.

But the company's top executives, especially the top executives, that is, the board of directors, all know that the military is a hungry wolf that eats people without leaving any bones. The mining space station is the best evidence.

If you sell the company in exchange for your own interests, you will definitely be completely swallowed by the military in the end.

The director in charge of military affairs saw the chairman looking at him and said, "The situation on the military side is very strange. They should have created that rebel themselves."

"That person was originally the stationmaster of the military outpost. He has a very high authority within the army and is also an old soldier. There is no reason for him to suddenly rebel and take away a ruler to chase Chen Ming."

"It is speculated that they thought that the ship they sent out at the beginning was not enough to kill Chen Ming, and then in order to complete this task, they asked people to rebel and cause trouble."

"Although the military has a high authority, the matter of mobilizing cruisers still needs to be approved."

"Unless their outpost is attacked by Yuhui like before, other places can immediately bypass the approval process and directly move the cruiser."

"But Yuhui didn't come before, so they used this method."

After the director explained, he said puzzledly: "I really don't understand how they can do such a thing."

"And they seem to have been complacent for too long, and they don't even want to understand the information outside the star zone. There is something wrong with their brains."

"They dare to provoke people from there."

The director who just asked the chairman a question said: "Do you mean that the rebel destroyed the ship of the person who came from there?"

"Yes, that's why I said they have a problem with their brains and provoked people they shouldn't provoke."

"So there will definitely be a big change in the military of the star zone later, and this is our best chance to take back the space station."

At the same time as the board meeting of Xinda Company ended.

The star gate near the colony planet where the capital of the star region is located suddenly started.

The huge ring-shaped star gate lit up with the glow caused by the energy required for the star gate to start.

Then in the center of the ring structure of the star gate, a film like a chaotic starry sky appeared.

A few minutes later, a ruler flew out of the star gate with a fleet of exactly 100 ships.

This special ruler, which is very different from ordinary rulers, did not stop at the capital of the star region. It led the fleet to turn around and leave the star system and enter the hyperspace.

In the center of the command room of this ruler, a three-dimensional image of a star system was projected.

The star system located in the middle of the projection is a planet full of volcanoes and unstable geological structures.

This is the Galo-2 star region where the pirate space station is located, the main station of the military.

The fleet led by the special ruler entered the hyperspace channel.

And in the only military colony on this planet under the protection of the ecological dome.

The headquarters building of the star region military.

In the office of the supreme commander, an imperial major general.

The adjutant in a neat military uniform was reporting the situation to the major general whose hair was already a little gray behind the desk.

There were two other people listening next to them, also wearing military uniforms. It can be determined from the shoulder straps that one of them is a colonel and the other is a lieutenant colonel.

The adjutant did not shy away from them and said directly: "The ruler lost the positioning signal and is suspected to have been destroyed. Before losing the signal, there was no report that the mission had been completed."

The major general's forehead was full of wrinkles. He slapped the table and said: "Impossible! Which force in the edge star field can use the fleet that can destroy the ruler without any movement? Give me their last communication records."

The lieutenant colonel next to him reminded: "He rebelled with his confidants and has cut off the connection with us. We can only locate the ruler's approximate position through the background program."

The major general immediately realized that he said the wrong thing in a hurry, but fortunately, everyone in his office was his own people.

He adjusted a little and said: "The speed of support from Xinda Company is quite slow. We have also blocked Wu An with other relationships. Who else can help Chen Ming escape?"

The lieutenant colonel suddenly thought of something and asked: "Could it be Yuhui? They have a criminal record."

"Chen Ming was blocked in hyperspace. Why did Yuhui go to hyperspace for no reason?"

The lieutenant colonel shut up and said no more.

The military had not yet learned the identity of Chen Ming, the psychic, so they could not understand why the ruler suddenly disappeared.

The major general did not get a response from others, so he could only say: "Go find a way to figure out what happened. I want an answer."

The adjutant nodded and asked: "Then where should we start?"

The major general frowned and looked at the adjutant and said: "Two places, one is the sentry post. It is impossible that all the people who killed Chen Ming in the past are dead. Those who came back must know something."

"The other is the Xinda Company. You can also try it. Some people in their company have always wanted to have a good relationship with us, and they will always know something."

The adjutant noted what the major general said, saluted and prepared to leave.

The major general continued to instruct: "There is also the station chief, he should still be classified as a traitor, let the station spontaneously recommend a temporary replacement, and we will arrange people later."

"Now let's find out whether Chen Ming is dead. The output of sky steel must not fall into the hands of others."

Just as the adjutant opened the office door.

The major general suddenly received an emergency communication.

He immediately called the adjutant back and read the content of this communication.

The emergency communication showed that a fleet that entered the galaxy from hyperspace without approval appeared in their galaxy.

The flagship of the fleet is a ruler, but its size is nearly one-third larger than the ruler that the star zone military also has.

And the armor of this ruler has a clear orange-yellow paint, and also has the emblem of a spread-wing eagle, and a "ⅪⅤ" logo.

"The mark of the 14th Legion? What's the situation with that ruler? Is it a new model? Why did it enter our jurisdiction without approval?"

The major general asked a series of questions.

But the people in the office could not give him an answer.

"I have to deal with it."

The major general stood up and said to the lieutenant colonel: "You go and increase the wanted list for Chen Ming. Find a way to use your connections to get other star regions to start wanted him, and put some pressure on Xinda."

"Add some crime of treason and collusion with Yuhui. Add more serious crimes."

"And you."

The major general looked at the colonel and said: "You continue to appease those who have been urging us to solve the problem because of Chen Ming, and give them more confidence."

The lieutenant colonel and the colonel left the office immediately after they responded.

The major general took his adjutant to the general command room of the headquarters building.

At this time, the large screen in the general command room showed an ongoing communication.

On the communication screen, it can be seen that the other party is a soldier wearing the special uniform of the 14th Corps, wearing a pair of glasses, and his rank is also major general.

However, it is obvious that the major general of the 14th Corps does not want to talk to others.

It was not until the major general arrived at the command room that the major general of the 14th Corps said as if notifying: "The military jurisdiction of the Galo-2 star zone will be taken over by our 14th Corps in the future, and the formal transfer of jurisdiction management rights has been submitted."

"Major General Guo Hongzhuo, please return to the Star Domain Military Headquarters to report on your work."

Guo Hongzhuo did not show any special emotions because of the words of the 14th Corps. Instead, he asked: "What's the reason? I have been here for 35 years, and I will retire in two years. What does it mean to suddenly ask me to go back to report on my work?"

"The star zone where a traitor appeared and lost a cruiser should be yours, right? This alone is enough for you to go back."

Guo Hongzhuo's face suddenly froze.

He had obviously passed on the responsibility of this matter to other people who could take responsibility through the relationship in the Star Domain Joint War Zone, which is a higher level than the Star Domain Military.

In this way, although he has some faults, he should not be sent back directly.

And the person who helped him do this is definitely a trustworthy person, and he should not be questioned.

Guo Hongzhuo said with some disbelief: "Although I have some responsibility for the traitor, it should not be to this extent."

The major general of the 14th Corps pushed his glasses, and the reflection of the lenses made it difficult for everyone in the star zone military command room to see his eyes clearly.

"It's true that it's not, but I don't know if you have ever heard of the smuggling that the military zone took the initiative to do?"

"Someone sent the report file to the inspection team, and the inspection team found many problems after verification."

The major general of the 14th Corps simply named several military-controlled items and reported several locations, dates and times.

As Guo Hongzhuo listened, some cold sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.

Because the few smuggling cases mentioned by the major general of the 14th Corps happened to be the ones in which he made the most profit.

But he still said with some reluctance: "If we did something wrong, it should be examined by the inspectors. Your direct army has no right to point fingers at the local army. What right do you have to do these things? Where are the documents of the inspectors?"

"First of all, you call this a wrong thing? You may have some misunderstandings about doing something wrong. What you did should be brought to the military court."

"Secondly, the documents just sent to you are the documents of the inspectors."

"Finally, the inspectors were driven back by us."

"This is the temporary duty replacement consent letter with the seals of the inspectors and the Imperial Military Affairs General Administration. Please accept it."

Four simple sentences, each of which made more sweat overflow from the forehead of the major general. He had never heard that the once weak 14th Legion could do this.

In other words, he had been here for more than 30 years and had only heard about the reorganization of the 14th Legion once.

Could it be that after that reorganization, the 14th Legion had such a big change?

The major general of the 14th Legion obviously would not give any explanation for this, anyway, the contents of the document were all true.

He pushed his glasses again, revealing his terrifying eyes to everyone.

"The reason why we sent the inspection team back and came here in person is that we lost one person here."

"It seems that he was killed by your traitor."

The threat in the eyes of the major general of the 14th Legion was almost overflowing.

"For soldiers who violate the law and military discipline, the Imperial Independent 14th Legion now has the power to investigate this."

The communication was hung up.

The entire fleet composed of ships modified by the 14th Legion itself, led by the special ruler of the 14th Legion, has appeared in the orbit of the planet.
