Gyaly PlanetStar Map Draftsman I: Federation War
Dawn Lucius recalls that when she was a student in school, once a large number of people gathered together, even if they had a common purpose, there were unconsciously multiple small gangs formed. At first, gangs were built on the same fetishes, such as those who loved sports, those who did not love studying, those who were naughty, and even the kind of people who were marginalized by the mainstream gangs, would then consciously form their own gangs, and in special In times when people who fall alone do not join gangs, they will meet many obstacles in their daily activities, at this time, it is possible to choose to join any gang, they are welcome, but how should you prove your loyalty to the gang?
Red Pirate ship of slaves before the arrival of the young man, they all belonged to the gang of slaves, the young man came in not long ago, now there are three gangs have been formed, the iron cage choose not to take weapons, take weapons but discarded to grab food, and Dawn Lucius, their group, they are a gang of people who go to eat food but always take weapons. After the formation of gangs, there is very little cooperation between them, most of the time by destroying each other to show their position, which is not, the young people thought of how to manage their own hand-supported gangs.
“You decided in your hearts to stop being slaves when you picked up your weapons, but I underestimated your courage.” The young man pointed at the group who had dropped their weapons and grabbed the food, he let out a long sigh and continued after squeezing his cheeks with his fists. “Today, I gave you the simplest of food and you dropped your weapons, and by the time we get to Gyaly Planet, I doubt very much that you will really be free and able to have your lives back to yourselves. I have heard that on Gyaly Planet, an average Ashton soldier has as much as thirty times the rations of a Strath slave, and they have endless meat to eat and soup to drink, and a Strath slave? Only hard, dry food, and can not fill the stomach. Today, this kind of food ......” the young man pointed fiercely at the floor and continued after making a disgusted gesture. “This kind of food, you are all willing to throw away your weapons, if against our enemy, the other side’s soldiers only need to throw out a little ration, are you also willing to continue to be reduced to slavery? Have you ever thought about it? One day, when your descendants ask you what is the most regrettable thing, how will you answer?”
The young man rushed into the crowd, grabbed a slave with shaved hair, and forced the other man with a deadly stare: “Tell me, how do you answer?”
“I don’t know.” The bald slave replied, his thin clothes shivering against his body.
“Don’t know? Here, let me give you a hint. How many times in your life, before you met me, did you have the chance to change the fate of a slave?”
“No ...... no.”
“If not, why not take the chance today?” The young man shook the other man hard, as if all slaves who dropped their weapons had failed him deeply that way.
“I ......” the bald slave did not finish, then began to cry, Dawn Lucius noticed that the young man’s play directly made all those who had lost their weapons to raise their heads.
“I get it, I kind of get it.” The young man let go of the bald slave and stared at the floor, muttering to himself. “None of you want to change your destiny, you still want to remain slaves. Even if, one day, your descendants ask you why you have chosen to live your lives in shame, you will not feel ashamed, you will admit with great generosity that you just like to live in shame, you will even, with great generosity, admit that you are Strath people, Strath people are willing to be slaves.”
“No, we’re not.” Someone inside Dawn Lucius’ group spoke up, followed by a flurry of rebuttals, which the young man ignored, instead continuing to look down at the floor.
When the crowd quieted down, the young man first affirmed the labeled team, then walked up to the other team and posed before speaking harshly, like the tone of a parent before he is about to yell at his child in anger, he stared at the crowd and spoke, “I will ask you one last time, do you want to remain slaves?”
“No!” “No!” The crowd rose and fell and shouted, making their attitude clear, but still short of how to prove themselves.
“Okay, then you prove it to me.” The young man turned around, pointed to the people in the iron cages, and continued. “Now, you go over there and kill these Strath people who choose to be slaves, and show your countrymen how you draw the line at slavery, and from now on, to those Strath people who choose to remain slaves, we refuse to co-exist with them, slaves, are the Strath people’s permanent shame, we, need generations to fight for equality, or we, can fight for equality today, it’s all up to you, take action.”
Hearing the young man say to kill the slaves in the cage, Dawn Lucius scared heart to the throat, in the early history of Earth civilization inside, the general in order to make the soldiers obey orders, will brutally kill the defected soldiers to warn others, the purpose is to control the soldiers through the means of fear. But this young man in front of him, does not look much better than the Ashton people in his mouth, Ashton people probably would not let the slaves to kill slaves, but he does not compromise, if that team opened the robbery to kill the cage, they get not the identity of the identity, and get not courage, but, more alien eyes. Dawn Lucius froze, someone opened fire, the cage cries instantly exploded in this small space.
“Wait, what are you doing, you’re the same people.” Dawn Lucius shouted as he ran toward the young men, waving his weapon to signal the firing men to stop, but he didn’t get far before the soldiers stopped him and held him down.
The adjutant beside the young man quickly stepped forward, took away the weapon in Dawn Lucius’ hand, grabbed him by the hair, glanced at him and then quickly walked over to the young man, muttered a few words and then took two steps back.
“You do not kill them ah, killing them does not mean anything to you ah.” Dawn Lucius continued to shout, he just woke up, the iron cage to lend him the clothes of small children are also inside the cage, that is Dawn Lucius big kid and little kid. In fact, when the young man shouted at everyone to pick weapons, all the children in the adult traction back to the cage. In exchange for Stacean Lucius in this group, Dawn Lucius will also choose to bring him back to the cage, as parents, no one is willing to take risks, even in humiliation, they will also be accepted as a whole, the child protection is the big thing.
“Don’t you kill them, there’s a lot of kids in there, they don’t mean any harm.” Dawn Lucius shouted, struggling on the floor, even banging his head on the floor to try to get the young man’s attention, but these. It only gave the young man a slight pause, the young man did not look at him, he waved his hand to signal another team to continue firing, just a gasp, the iron cage can no longer hear any sound, Dawn Lucius never saw the two children. His whole body muscles tense, anger in the pores of the cat can not be emitted, congestion in his body skin, especially around the temples, like on fire, burning, he gritted his teeth to make the body shaking less. He turned his face to the other side, and when he saw the caged crowd, his heart hurt like being drilled by a rough oil trader with a drilling rig.
After the gunfire ended, Dawn Lucius to return to Earth’s heart more firmly, the Earth’s situation is stable on the surface, but several major political regimes are still trying to find ways to compete for air supremacy, Dawn ship is just a small incident in the battle, if there is really a war conflict, then he has to protect Stacean Lucius, thinking of this, Dawn Lucius Powerlessly shed tears. The young man walked to the box containing galaxy coin, grabbed a handful, walked to the side of the firing squad, handed it to an older male, boasted straight to the other side that he had gotten rid of his slave status, then he instructed the other soldiers to distribute all the remaining galaxy coin, and the only guilt left in the firing squad, when he received the galaxy coin again, had been sold out.
“Prince, what about this?” The adjutant asked as he approached the young man.
“Kill it.” When the young man finished speaking, he intended to walk out the door.
“Wait, Prince Burt.” The Red Pirate ship’s original captain’s brother stopped the young man, he disliked his brother did not have the courage, then killed each other, think, Strath people can successfully board the Red Pirate ship, the formation of the current situation are inseparable from him. “You promised me something, but you have to keep your word.”
“Oh, what did I promise you?” The young man asked rhetorically, at this point, Dawn Lucius heard and understood that the man’s name was Burt, supposedly the prince of the Strath people.
“Prince, I’ll give you the Red Pirate ship and the slave, you promised me the Gyaly Planet.”
“Oh, there is such a thing, well, Gyaly Planet is for you, you go and get it now.” Prince Burt pointed to the door.
“Prince, we did say that after Gyaly Planet was defeated, you would give him to me to manage.”
“Yes there is such a thing, but I just remembered that if I give you Gyaly Planet, won’t it be easier for you to enslave Strath people? Well, I can’t promise you that.”
“But Prince, that’s how Gyaly Planet has always worked.”
“That was before.” Prince Burt stared at the man viciously, his eyeballs bulging as if they might fall off at any moment. “Lieutenant, he killed too.”
“Yes, Prince.” The adjutant said as he walked toward the man with his gun.
“Wait, wait.” The man hastily waved his hand, backing up and begging for mercy. “Prince, it won’t do you any good to kill me, I’m the only one who has the spaceport’s passage identification information, you kill me, you have no way to get close to Gyaly Planet.”
“Oh, that too.” Prince Burt’s face sank for a moment, and just when the man thought he was victorious, Prince Burt shot him in the chest. I’m sure, seeing this move, all the slaves present couldn’t help but clench the guns in their hands, but his resilience not only made the slaves not afraid, but believed in him even more. After kicking the corpse on the ground hard, the young man turned to the slaves and said, “In this universe, there is one less person to enslave you.”
The adjutant gestured to the soldiers holding Dawn Lucius down, and the three men stepped backwards when they released their grip, raising the guns in their hands and aiming them at Dawn Lucius, and as they opened fire, Sandra jumped out of the crowd. “Prince Burt, please don’t kill him?”
Burt slowly turned around, glanced at Sandra, and slowly asked, “What’s in it for me?”
“What benefit does the prince want?”
“I don’t know, tell me about the benefits you can offer and I’ll think about whether it’s a good deal?” Burt picked up the gun in his hand and looked at it playfully.
“I have identifying information for the spaceport.” Sandra stammered and continued to add. “I can bring the Red Pirate ship to land.”
“It’s not much of a temptation, is it, and how do you know I can’t log in?”
“Moreth Federation’s spaceport, identifying information not only to be right with the system, but also to test the identification information custodian’s living identity, you just killed the person carrying the information, you are not able to land.” Sandra pointed to the ground as a corpse.
“Sounds like you’re giving a valuable benefit of the doubt.” With a smile piled on his face, completely unable to see that he had just killed someone, Burt took a few steps in Dawn Lucius’ direction before stopping to continue. “But why should I trust you?”
Sandra uncovered the outside clothes, re-reveal the diplomat uniform and replied: “My name is Sandra, I am Ashton Federation diplomat, and I have Moreth FederationStar Bridge identification information, space port can freely enter and exit. ”
“Ooh, so it’s a diplomat.” Prince Burt cheered and walked near Sandra, clapping his hands like a small child with a new building block toy, but he then sank his face and stared at Sandra and asked, “I’m even more curious when you do that, does he have a higher value is to make you give up to take us to the spaceport?” Burt pointed at Dawn Lucius and said.
“Hmph, that’s not true.” Sandra sneered. “He’s an Earthling, and all he wants to do is go back, it’s just nothing to do with our three major Federations.”
“Oh, so it’s an Earthling, this is the first time I’ve come into contact with someone from a level zero civilization, you’re a diplomat, how did you get involved with him and get mixed up in the slaves?”
“Prince Burt, this is none of your business, your concern is landing at the spaceport, the rest is none of your concern.” Sandra raised her voice as she pointed at Dawn Lucius and continued. “I’ll get you into the spaceport, you just give me the Earthlings.”
“This tone ...... of voice, you if not Moreth FederationMoreth steader eyes of the red, you have no chance to open your mouth to speak.” Burt looked at Sandra viciously and said, and then changed his smile, which made Dawn Lucius’ scalp tingle, Burt continued. “Let’s go then.” And led the group out of the room.
Before landing at the spaceport, Dawn Lucius had a hard time thinking of what the Red Pirate ship looked like, although it was a pirate ship, but it did not look like those down-and-out pirate ships in pirate movies, the Red Pirate ship was bright red from the head to the location of the engine cluster, the ship’s head was relatively thin, the bottom of the porthole had a door facing the A high-powered gun in front, near the midpoint, there are three arrays of guns on the left and right, and a smaller porthole directly above the guns, where Dawn Lucius was kept after he emerged from the iron cage. The stern of the ship consists of a cluster of engines, they seem to be tied into a bundle, and the hull of the ship is just one of the other things inserted inside. The engine cluster ignites in addition to emitting a blue light, it has two engines that are opposite to the direction of flight, which must be used to slow down or turn around, or, in a special scenario, someone driving the Red Pirate ship upside down.
Dawn Lucius looked out of the porthole, the stars in the ancient times emitted light, and in the vast voyage of dark space rush, reached Dawn Lucius’ eyes, leaving him with a strange feeling, and eager to go back to the mood. He had seen countless nebulae in the space agency’s data, gorgeous smoke floating quietly in space, like a painter’s paint spilled from the table to be framed in a certain moment, and in the colorful nebulae, but also scattered with Crystal clear planets, and even, the effect of the newborn stars are still glowing like diamonds. But in fact, even in space, the distant nebulae are dull, not as bright and colorful as the effects in textbooks on Earth, and as for the newborn stars, the naked eye can not distinguish them.
Dawn Lucius sat down at the root of the wall, he gripped the flexible device on his wrist, remembering Stacean Lucius and he played the game of pirate ship, not like now on the Red Pirate ship, Stacean Lucius think of the pirate ship and swing similar, every night before going to bed, he would sit in the middle of the blanket, let Dawn Lucius tugged on the four corners of the blanket, carrying him around, even if the two turned almost vomited, he would climb up to Dawn Lucius chest to let Dawn Lucius turn again, his favorite words are “Dad, I promise this is the last time.” Dawn Lucius took a break and carried him around again before he would fall asleep happily. Dawn Lucius remembered one night before he left, Stacean Lucius was laughing in his sleep, almost waking himself up, and Dawn Lucius and his wife were looking at each other’s confused expressions, covering their mouths and laughing too. “Daddy promises to come back.” Dawn Lucius clenched his wrist and gave Dawn Lucius the assurance in his heart.
Sandra came to visit Dawn Lucius halfway through the ship, and as for “Why did you bring me to the Red Pirate ship? Who told you to do that?” These two questions, Sandra promised to tell him later. He learned from her that Prince Burt was one of the princes of Strath Federation, a man who was warlike and murderous, but he could ensure that the soldiers who followed him were fed and lived a good life, even if the means were not very honorable, but for those ordinary soldiers who might lose their lives at any time on the battlefield, war is to seize resources, war is not honorable and dishonorable The war is a war. But this long down, there are some generals who feel too brutal, as far as Sandra knows, Burt is now beside the deputy general Les, feeling that Burt is more and more temperamental, following him is a very dangerous thing.
The Strath Federation’s regime is a chieftaincy system, voted on by multiple heads inside the Federation, the old chief is now very old, they despise taking White Crystal, his life is coming to an end, this war, in fact, is a test to select the next chief. Carlson’s prince, this person and Burt just the opposite, he does not like to kill, and will negotiate before fighting with the opponent, even if Carlson is in an absolute advantage, will give priority to and the other party to make peace, he has half of the people in Strath Federation support him, but the other half will feel that Carlson is weak. This attack on Gyaly Planet, nominally to rescue Strath people who were used as slaves, in reality, is to let the two princes find their own way to canvas.
“Oh no.” Sandra said in shock as Dawn Lucius exclaimed after she and Dawn Lucius explained the situation.
“What’s wrong?” Sandra asked.
“You said it was two princes competing, and since Burt was going to attack Gyaly Planet, where did Carlson go to attack?”
“Ah, I just remembered when you said that, yeah, where did Carlson go? He’s got quite an army with him.”
“That’s a problem.” Dawn Lucius asked, propping one hand on the porthole glass and looking at Sandra. “By the way, why are you willing to take them to the spaceport so they don’t kill me?”
“It’s not your business to be involved for no reason, and besides, aren’t you chanting to go back to Earth?”
“Your answer is obviously not very convincing, I’m on your mission, right? But thank you for saving me anyway. But have you thought about it, if you take them over the spaceport, then Gyaly Planet falls.”
Sandra did not continue to answer the question of whether Dawn Lucius was convincing, but answered the latter half of his sentence. “I’m not worried about that, the Moreth Federation ships will jump to the spaceport in no time after the spaceport finds out it’s been invaded, it’s a good thing for us that we saved the time to go to the Strath people and gather their main force and destroy it quickly.”
“Was this something you and the Moreth Federation planned ahead of time?”
“That’s not true, I was supposed to go to Moreth Federation and bring the meaning of Madam Winifred’s cooperation there, but I was caught by the Red Pirate ship.” Sandra said as she straightened her sleeves.
“Madam Winifred is?”
“The supreme leader of the Ashton Federation, the White Crystal that the rich people on Orion Arm eat was invented by her ......” said Sandra after a pause, she noticed Dawn Lucius was staring at her, Sandra avoided his eyes and continued. “Madam Winifred also has a son, Lord Winifred, the future rule of Ashton Federation will be given to him yet.”
“You guys knew the Strath people were going to call?” Dawn Lucius asked.
“Ashton Federation has placed monitoring equipment in some areas of the nebula, we saw Strath people assembling their fleet and coming towards Gyaly Planet, plus the merchant fleet coming to Gyaly Planet became less, they knew there would be a war here and avoided it in advance, what we didn’t expect was Burt came so fast.”
Dawn Lucius and she looked at each other, not knowing whether to say goodbye or comfort, and then Sandra left with the soldiers. At this point he was like a passenger in the back of a small car, trying to view the view from the window, face pressed against the glass, keeping his eyes as straight ahead as possible, he saw half of the spaceport. At the top of it was an observation room supported by an oval vault, with a high-powered guiding light at the very top, a band of lights near the floor of the vault, and on the floor, a huge circle with some large machinery on the side of the circle that looked like machine arms for unloading or loading, and some other low devices that looked like artillery. On one side of the circle also stood a column with two sharpened ends, it was not clear what purpose it served. At the bottom of the circle is a much longer cylinder with lots of blue flames, and it looks like the bottom cylinder is the powerhouse of the spaceport, along with the engine cluster.
The Red Pirate ship glided some distance away, hovered briefly not far from the spaceport, and then flew towards the ground of the spaceport. It was obvious to the naked eye that the Gyaly Planet was at least three times the size of Earth, and as it approached the spaceport, Dawn Lucius looked down at the planet with clouds above it, making it difficult to see the terrain below, and. After the Red Pirate ship came to a complete stop, Dawn Lucius walked toward the door, each time he lifted his leg, it took more force to do so.
“You can’t go out there yet!” Dawn Lucius said as the soldier outside the door looked at him as he raised his hand to open the door.
“I want to go see if I can help?” Dawn Lucius said with a smile.
“No need.”
“Look, I’m unarmed and I’m not your enemy, so instead of wasting your time watching me here, why don’t you go see if there’s anything you need help with?” Dawn Lucius finished, and when the soldier didn’t say anything, he continued. “Think about it, Prince Burt to take over the spaceport first, need manpower ah, if you do not hurry to help, Moreth Federation’s warships hit over, you will not fail ah.”
“Don’t be a smart ass, Moreth people are busy!” The soldier said with the corners of his mouth gently rising.
“Why do you say that?”
“You just mind your own business and stay.” The soldier didn’t turn his face to look at Dawn Lucius, but replied coldly.
“As you know, I’m an Earthling, and this is the first time I’ve traveled this far in space, can you take me outside to see it?” Dawn Lucius changed tactics and chatted with the other side, hoping that the other side would let him out.
“I can’t help you with that, but I’m just curious, how did you get here when Earth is so far from Gyaly Planet?” The soldier’s curiosity seemed to probe into the conversation between the two of them.
“I’m curious too, I was doing an expedition not far from home, and as a result, I was hit in the chest by something, and when I woke up I was in a slave colony.”
“This is a strange thing, Red Pirate ship never plundered near Gyaly Planet, which is convenient for them to be able to sell the captured slaves to Gyaly Planet, and also convenient to get rid of the stolen goods in Gyaly Planet, your appearance here is certainly not a coincidence. ” The soldier’s attitude was a little better.
“Yeah. Will you let me out?”
“What can you do if I let you out, you can’t do anything outside, it’s safer here.”
“I want to find Sandra and get her to help me get back to Earth.”
“You won’t make it back.” The soldier shook his head.
“No, I have to go back to my child, for sure.” Said Dawn Lucius then raised his wrist, intended to wake up the flexible screen to show the soldier Stacean Lucius’s picture, probably because there is no electricity, the screen did not respond.
Dawn Lucius was still trying to wake up the screen when the soldier opened the door and gestured for Dawn Lucius to come out of the room, he looked at the soldier and hesitated before walking out, the soldier told him the general situation of the spaceport, Dawn Lucius also needed to wear a space suit to do so, the Red Pirate ship landed some distance from the spaceport command room, plus The spaceport was no longer crowded, and no one was driving the shuttle buses that normally transported passengers, so he needed to wear a space suit in order to walk to the command room.
“Why are you helping me?” Dawn Lucius turned to ask the soldier as he walked out of the Red Pirate ship.
“You helped the slaves in the iron cage to speak up, although they were killed in the end, but this, we thank you.”
“So oh, is it convenient for you to tell me how to get back to Earth?”
“You can only turn to the Moreth Federation, only the Star Bridge, to get you back, otherwise, no one can go that far alive in the space of Voyage.”
“Thanks, you take care.” Dawn Lucius said, then took a few steps in the direction of the spaceport command room, Dawn Lucius stopped, he looked at the starry sky behind him, and then looked at the stars to the left and right respectively, in fact, he now has no idea which direction home is, the solar system does not know that much about space, even though several major countries are studying space, but they are always busy with how to prevent each other. Only a few idealistic scientists have considered cooperating with each other, or, trying to persuade top managers to support their research further afield, but, in the end, they were pulled back to the development of the moon base and the Mars base. It seems that the way back can only rely on the Star Bridge.
Sandra told Dawn Lucius that Gyaly Planet is one of the busiest places in Orion Arm, and the longest queue for ships to enter the port to unload cargo can take up to ten days, and many ships enter the spaceport, the management does not allow the crew to leave the ship, and after they unload the cargo they pull, agents on Gyaly Planet will help After they unload the cargo they pull, the agents on Gyaly Planet will help them dump the goods, and the final settlement of galaxy coin will appear on the galaxy coin account of the captain or merchant. When the ship purchases the goods loaded, the spaceport urged them to hurry up and leave the port, to free up space for those ships lined up to enter the port, to and from the spaceport, only Moreth Federation and Ashton Federation’s top management have the opportunity to go down to Gyaly Planet to rest. But nowadays, there are no ships entering or leaving the spaceport, and there is no managerial staff, so the bustle that Sandra mentioned is not reflected at all.
Dawn Lucius walked into the command room and occasionally ran into two or two groups of Strath soldiers on patrol, the lights in the room were out, and a few palm lights flickered sporadically in the long corridor. After walking some distance, Dawn Lucius stopped two soldiers on patrol and asked them where Sandra was located and then rushed over. When he found her, Dawn Lucius thought Prince Burt was dragging her to discuss how to fight to the ground of Gyaly Planet, but in fact, Sandra was staring out of the window. Dawn Lucius and she communicated that Prince Burt had led the attack on the ground of Gyaly Planet, and the Moreth people were facing a greater threat, which is why no one came to support the spaceport.
“Then according to your meaning ...... “Dawn Lucius listened to Sandra’s explanation, probably understood, he had some doubts about Prince Burt’s confidence before, Dawn Lucius looked at Sandra and continued. “Carlson and Burt are divided, they know that if Burt attacks Gyaly Planet, Moreth Federation will send support to Gyaly Planet, in order to cut off the support, Carlson simply goes to attack Moreth Federation first. Let Gyaly Planet spaceport troops retreat to help, Burt to spaceport, there is completely no pressure.”
“Yes, now the question is, why did he still pretend he didn’t have the spaceport’s passage identification information and bring us along?” Sandra became suspicious of the actions of the two Strath princes as well.
“What if he is jealous of your status in the Ashton Federation?” Dawn Lucius asked.
“No.” Sandra shook her head, Strath Federation since they chose to make war on Moreth Federation’s and Ashton Federation at the same time, they wouldn’t care who they were.
“That’s true.” Dawn Lucius thought for a moment and continued to ask. “So is it possible that he’s trying to get us to take the message out?”
“What kind of information?”
“I don’t know, it could be that Burt also acted, and the information we saw was all he wanted us to take out, and it was highly disorienting.”
“That’s also a possibility. But here’s the thing, he has no intention of taking us to Gyaly Planet ground and has destroyed the entire spaceport’s communication system, so we can’t send any information out, can we?”
“Have you thought about it?” Dawn Lucius continued as she approached Sandra. “And Burt didn’t stop us from going to Gyaly Planet, did he?”
“You mean ......,” Sandra turned her face to look at Dawn Lucius as she understood what he meant. “He’s hoping we’ll choose to visit Gyaly Planet ourselves?”
“I think so. Look, we can choose to go straight away, Strath people’s several warships are here to stay, using the Star Bridge, directly back to Moreth Federation’s, or something ......” Dawn Lucius wanted to say can also go to Earth, Sandra interrupted him.
“No.” Sandra shook her head and pointed out and continued. “The communication system is broken, the Star Bridge can’t be opened. The Star Bridge needs the starting point of the ship’s departure to initiate a voyage request first, and the end point to confirm it before it can travel through the Star Bridge, otherwise it can’t be used.”
“Where can we go without Star Bridge?” Undeterred, Dawn Lucius continued to pursue Sandra.
“The primitive planets around us, further away we can’t go, how small we are in this space.”
“What if we go get someone to fix this communication system?”
“Too late, they blew up the communications tower, that tower would have taken a lot of people and a lot of time to fix.” Sandra pointed to the cylinder outside the spaceport that had been sharpened at both ends, and the small half of its head was now floating in the air.
“Then we’ll just have to go to Gyaly Planet and see what’s going on.” Dawn Lucius took a quick glance out the window, trying to find a pickup craft that would work.
“That’ll have to do.” Sandra said and stood up, leading Dawn Lucius outside. Eventually, they found where the shuttle boats were parked and the two flew through the clouds in a mixture of scents, and even as they flew downward, they encountered no ground-based air defense.
“Where do we stop?” Dawn Lucius asked Sandra.
“I don’t know, but we have to avoid places where Strath people gather, and we can’t run straight to the city of Ashton Federation.”
“I understand this, there are risks no matter which way you go.” When Dawn Lucius finished, Sandra didn’t answer, but continued to fly down with Dawn Lucius.
Eventually, Sandra landed on a remote hillside, the two took some water and dry food, then walked towards the city of Ashton Federation, standing on the hill and looking into the distance, a blue-purple nebula hanging in space, if you look closely, you can see a sporadic bright light in the nebula pulsing, Gyaly Planet outer meteorites and ice Crystals formed a number of rings The outer layers of the Gyaly Planet are made up of meteorites and ice Crystals that form rings, the approximate shape of which can be seen in the three bean-sized moons above the rings. Above the forest, flocks of animals were flying, and they seemed to be heading for the plains further away, where the plants grew golden, like waves of wheat in the autumn sun, and Dawn Lucius couldn’t look away, “If it weren’t for the war, this would be much better than Earth.” He thought to himself.
Strath people were pulled to Gyaly Planet as hard laborers after crimes in other Federation, and as the number of hard laborers became more, they started to grow their own food. Food and vegetables, the entire Gyaly Planet’s food is self-sufficient, and can even be traded outside, however, there is a session of the Ashton Federation’s chief executive greed, Strath hard labor rebellion, the chief executive killed 320,000 Strath people after the Gyaly Planet lack of food, the chief is afraid of being Federal accountability, it acquiesced to the pirates can catch slaves sold over as hard labor, the formation of the special situation today Gyaly Planet.
“And does Madam Winifred not care?” Dawn Lucius asked.
“How to manage? For Ashton Federation, the most important thing is to keep Gyaly Planet running so that Ashton Federation can continue to sell White Crystal, and profit maximization is always the goal of the polity.”
“What about the Moreth Federation?”
“Same thing, the more people use the Star Bridge, the more galaxy coins they will be able to receive.”
“Well, it’s no wonder Burt’s bringing people over now.” Dawn Lucius said with a sigh.
“Things are not that simple, Strath people fighting the war is not the main purpose of this, in fact, Prince Burt is not a good person, his own men often capture Strath people to Gyaly Planet trafficking, he is not what Strath people’s savior. Sandra said, paused and pointed to the distance. “All this ground defense, no one manages it anymore, no wonder Strath people can come down without any problems.”
Following the direction Sandra pointed out, Dawn Lucius saw those tall ground anti-aircraft, a single foot as high as five stories, with a certain angle of inclination of the barrel body is brass-colored, from the muzzle to the base gradually thickened, the base of the barrel like a circular floor, the floor has four claws, deep grip on the ground at the same time, it also looks like the energy flow of the pipe. After spending some time crossing the anti-aircraft array, the two came to a building built deep in front of, how to say? These buildings are built inside the ground, like digging a ten-story deep trench in the ground first, and then building glass buildings against the sides of the trench.
“Look over there.” Sandra continued, pointing to the towering building in the distance. “That’s Sok City.”
“Do all the Ashton Federation people live over there?” Dawn Lucius asked.
“Not really. These buildings underneath are specially built to view the underwater world, my brother told me, whenever there is a major festival in Gyaly Planet, the official is to fill these rivers with water, Ashton Federation citizens can walk freely in the buildings, watch the animals in the water, and the show that flows in the water. If it is usual, these buildings are ordinary citizens’ living places. As for there ......,” Sandra added, pointing to the building further away. “No one has ever been inside that building, and some say that it is the palace of Madam Winifred, and no one knows what it is like inside.”
“Burt came to attack Gyaly Planet, did he come to capture Madam Winifred?” Dawn Lucius said while catching his breath, Sandra hadn’t stopped since the moment she set foot on the land, and she led him all the way over to the direction of Sok City.
“Oh no.” Sandra suddenly shouted.
“What’s wrong?”
“If what you say is right, then wouldn’t Carlson go on the offensive against Kunek Planet?”
“What does Kunek Planet have?” Dawn Lucius asked, pausing.
“That’s the administrative center of the Moreth Federation, where the Moreth steader of the Moreth Federation lives.”
“This is good, there is a saying on Earth that the thief is captured first, if the leaders of both Federations are captured, won’t that be chaos?”
“It’s not that easy to catch, but it’s enough to bring tension to the surrounding star fields. Kunek Planet isn’t that easy to fight, as you’ll slowly learn, but let’s go to Sok City first and see if there’s any way to activate the Star Bridge.”
“Good!” Dawn Lucius said, and the two of them rushed towards Sok City at a faster speed.
