Visadio PlanetStar Map Draftsman I: Federation War

“Why are you helping Ashton Federation?” asked Burt once he arrived on Burt’s ship and arranged a separate room to meet with Dawn Lucius, who sat down.

“I’m not helping anyone, I just want to stop you guys from harassing the solar system.” Dawn Lucius yawned as he spoke, he couldn’t remember the last time he had fallen asleep peacefully, he was always thinking about something to do with Stacean Lucius, even late at night, sleep was stirred up by sudden sadness. dawn Lucius put two fists to his eyes and rubbed them together, he wanted to squeeze the sleep from behind his eyes and let the pieces fall apart in his deep hippocampus.

“Let me tell you, the people who went to harass the solar system were people sent by Madam Winifred, pretending to be Strath people.”

“And,” Dawn Lucius put both hands on the table and pressed his forehead to the back of his hands, so that if onlookers could see his face, they would surely be shocked by the pain on his face, Dawn Lucius continued to ask after taking a long breath. “You say that the nuclear war on Earth was deliberately started by someone?”

“Yes, but you can’t imagine what’s at stake here.”

Burt began to give Dawn Lucius the reasons for the renewed war in Orion Arm, which had forgotten the ins and outs of the last war, and Dawn Lucius somewhat agreed with Burt that for the general populace, the war was nothing more than a collateral damage of the politicians’ redistribution of power, not to mention that almost all of them They are also willing to find reasonable explanations for their unfair lives, from a planet to a family, each with their own beliefs, or worship religion, used to explain their unreasonable life reasonable, they do not care whether Orion Arm is Madam Winifred or Strath people’s. War has come, then goes with the flow of the war, even if it falls into the abyss that can no longer surface. As for Earth’s nuclear war, Dawn Lucius has his own judgment: Orion Arm’s civilization, although fighting war, will not use weapons that can destroy a planet, “a smart war happens in the process of minimizing the destruction.” These are Burt’s exact words, and he explains that Orion Arm’s star field is so wide and sparsely populated that it is easy to destroy a planet’s already built city-states, but it takes a long time to rebuild them up, and there are even city-states that, if destroyed, will never be repaired again. When it comes to the matter of not using destructive weapons, Dawn Lucius is convinced that these first- and second-class civilizations have been able to travel across the stars, but in the war is still using simple methods of attack and simple weapons, which is right with Burt’s explanation.

“Well?” Burt asked as he looked at Dawn Lucius after a long speech.

“I don’t know, to be honest, I have mixed feelings.” Dawn Lucius shook his head and replied, he didn’t know whether to hate or cry, the desire of one man to pull up the entire Orion Arm to be buried with him just didn’t make sense to him.

“So what are your plans?”

“That I don’t know, if I could, I wish I didn’t know of your existence, hadn’t been here, or that I was still warm and captive in the solar system.”

“Are you beating yourself up a little?”

“Well ......” Dawn Lucius pressed both hands to his eyeballs as he felt a large mass of soreness well up in his nose.

“It’s not your fault what happened to your son, but you can continue to do something to preserve more planets like Earth.”

“That I really don’t know, I’m just an ordinary earthling.”

“You can be bolder and believe in what makes you special, and there must be a reason you were chosen as Star Map Draftsman.”

“Okay, I’ll think about it.” Dawn Lucius felt weak, as if he had just stayed up a long dark night, and at the break of dawn there was no sleep, but more and more wakeful like torture, he tried to clench his fist, clenched his teeth groove, after filling his lungs with the cold, cloudy air, a yawn started to climb up his throat, Dawn Lucius tilted his head expectantly, he could feel that yawn almost to the root of his tongue, even though Dawn Lucius blinked, not knowing if it was sleepiness or sadness, and two lines of tears slid over the corners of his eyes, down the skin of his temples, through the hair at his temples, and finally at the back of his head. The two tears slid over the corners of his eyes, over the skin of his temples, through his hair at the temples, and finally at the back of his head.

As for the return of the ship, Burt did not put pressure on Dawn Lucius, he seemed to know very well the calculations of Madam Winifred. Burt told Dawn Lucius to go back to the troop carrier and think about whether he should consider how to save the lives of the living before considering whether to involve himself in this war that has nothing to do with him. Yes, even if Burt is telling the truth, Dawn Lucius also has no sense to participate in the war, to avenge Stacean Lucius? When Dawn Lucius returned to the troop carrier, Sandra and a group of people had gathered in the command room, and she and Dawn Lucius looked at both sides suspiciously, Dawn Lucius wondering how she got out of the attack ship, she wondering how Dawn Lucius went to negotiate without discussing, and what the outcome of the negotiation was. Dawn Lucius walked towards Sandra, intending to tell her what Jonathan had told him, that he needed her understanding, or, perhaps, her comfort.

“What gives you the right to negotiate on behalf of the Ashton Federation?” Dawn Lucius hadn’t even gotten to Sandra when a fat white man cut him off and asked in a stern voice.

Dawn Lucius didn’t answer, he looked at Sandra, hoping she could give him some hints, and the old lord opened his mouth instantly. “Senator Samuel, this brother Dawn helped us plan this war with the Strath people, and now it is to his credit that we grabbed these troop carriers.”

“Merit? How can I not see the credit?” The white, fat Elder Samuel continued, staring at Dawn Lucius, a man Dawn Lucius knew to be a dead ringer for the Duncan family, as Sandra had told Dawn Lucius several times.

“Elder Samuel, if it wasn’t for Brother Dawn, we wouldn’t have been able to hold Prince Burt and his army here, which would have helped Visadio Planet slow down the pressure in favor of beating back the Strath people again,” the old lord said with a smile.

“Who says we’re resisting Strath people?”

“Genro, Strath people come to fight our planet and we don’t resist?” The old lord asked, putting away the smile on his face.

“Madam Winifred has her plans, so what do you care?”

“So tell me,” Dawn Lucius continued to ask as the old lord took a moment to take a deep breath and pick up where Samuel left off. “What’s the plan?”

“Are you entitled to know?” Samuel said coldly.

“Then what are you wasting your words with me? What do you care about how I negotiate, what does it matter to you?” Dawn Lucius walked around Samuel, walked over to Sandra and took her hand, then prepared to walk out the door.

“What kind of attitude is that?” Samuel asked, his voice raised high, almost yelling behind Dawn Lucius and Sandra, who ignored him and instead pulled Sandra on towards the door, where he heard Samuel stomping his feet in anger behind him.

Dawn Lucius pulled Sandra towards the end of the cavernous corridor of the troop carrier. There were many small empty rooms, or clothing rooms, at the rear of the ship, and after the two entered a random room, Sandra spoke up. “Dawn, what’s going on?”

“I went to Burt because I was interested in knowing that he said he knew who started the nuclear war on Earth, and it was important to me, but I couldn’t find any other reason if I said I was going to negotiate, so I went with a bang, I’m sorry.”

“There’s no need to apologize, I was just worried about you getting hurt and the Centurio’s were worried about you defecting and leaving us a Strath people."

“Not so much, because you’re here and I’m not leaving.”

“Well, I know.” Sandra stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Dawn Lucius as she planted a kiss on his hard face.

“Or maybe the reason behind this all out war in Orion Arm is not as simple as we know, Burt told me ......” Dawn Lucius pushed Sandra some distance away from her arms and then looked her in the eyes and continued. “All of this is being manipulated behind the scenes by Madam Winifred, who wants to get Orion Arm back into her pocket and restore Ashton Federation to its former glory, when it was ruled by Ashton Federation, as you told me. ”

“It is true that long ago, the entire Orion Arm was ruled by Madam Winifred. But, Dawn, is Burt’s word credible?”

“I don’t know, I still have a few questions, but the Strath people that Burt killed at Gyaly Planet were paid off by Madam Winifred with White Crystal to infiltrate any organization throughout Orion Arm. It took them many years to cleanse the Strath Federation’s army, but the Moreth Federation was not clean in this war either, and they claimed that the Star Bridge could not be used to transport troops, but the Strath people that Madam Winifred had impersonated used the Star Bridge to jump into the solar system to wreak havoc.”

“Dawn, that doesn’t make sense, why would Madam Winifred go and destroy the solar system?”

“Burt told me that it was to lure Star Map Draftsman into the war, he told a very old story, one that we still need to verify for ourselves.” When Dawn Lucius said this, Sandra’s eyes flashed without her knowing it, she clearly remembered that Madam Winifred threatened her family to bring Star Map Draftsman to Gyaly Planet and get involved in the war.

“That, I wouldn’t know how to understand.” Sandra said after a brief daze.

“What I’m worried about now is that Madam Winifred is going to come after your family or that she’s targeting you, which I really don’t dare to guess, so if you feel weird or if you feel danger coming on, tell me quickly and I’ll take you away.” Dawn Lucius grabbed Sandra’s shoulders and looked her in the eyes and said.

“Dawn, do I mean a lot to you?”

“That still needs to be said? The most important thing to me is Stacean Lucius and you ......” mentioned Stacean Lucius, Dawn Lucius then did not continue.

“So, Dawn, if ever ......” Sandra was about to say something when Duncan cut in on communications, telling the two of them to hurry back to the command room.

After the two rushed back to the command room, the image of Madam Winifred was hovering in front of the group as she glared at Samuel, and upon seeing Dawn Lucius and Sandra enter the room, Madam Winifred taunted. “The two with the biggest Orion Arm racks have finally arrived.”

“Madam Winifred,” Sandra said, saluting forward with an indebted bow.

“Down to business, Duncan, Sandra, and this Earthling, you three come to Visadio Planet first with Samuel, while the others continue to surround themselves with Burt.” Madam Winifred called out the names as her eyes swept over the four men.

“But before we ...... can finish speaking, Madam Winifred exits the hologram and everyone in the room stares at Samuel, waiting to see how he will show his prestige next, what no one notices is that Dawn Lucius’ fists clenched even tighter.

Samuel himself was not a fan of Duncan’s family, and as a revolutionary, he did not like the old style of Duncan’s father. Several people used shuttle boats to get into an attack ship and retreated as slowly as possible to the back of the troop carrier. Samuel detects that Smyrni Planet’s gravitational depression is on the other side of the planet, and without any plan, he rushes towards it, not caring if Strath people’s shuttle boats come to stop him. The shuttle boats will not come to intercept, fortunately, until entering the Star Bridge, also did not meet Strath people’s interception.

After stopping near Visadio Planet, Samuel gave a brief introduction of Visadio Planet’s current battle situation to several people. Currently, although the Strath people have camped near Visadio Planet’s equator, they have not yet broken Bourlo City, which is the largest city in the Ashton The army on Visadio Planet is not only Strath people, but also a mess of pirates, and the Ninth Legion is here. They intend to take the opportunity to sack Bourlo City, Samuel also introduced Jonathan in order to make Moreth Federation citizens from the Ninth Legion, coming with Centaly’s army. This is good, in addition to Prince Burt’s army still trapped in Smyrni Planet, Orion Arm’s army forces will be concentrated in Visadio Planet.

Samuel also revealed that even though Madam Winifred had ordered no resistance to the Strath people, there were people in Bourlo City who had organized themselves as a civilian force. Madam Winifred ordered not to resist Strath people, but there are people in Bourlo City who have organized their own civil forces, almost all of them deployed behind the walls of the Ninth Legion side. Several people in orbit to discuss countermeasures, scattered pirate ships continue to fly to the ground Visadio Planet, Dawn Lucius proposed that their ships can also be interspersed with pirates, so as to avoid Strath people or the Ninth Legion to find them trouble. Several people flew towards the north pole in the dark night, Visadio Planet is a super large planet without moons, the outer force field after flashing the starlight behind it, tinted Visadio Planet light green. The most obvious thing is the keel of the four defense systems connecting the north and south levels of Visadio Planet. The lights of Bourlo City illuminate the north pole of Visadio Planet, and the outline of the city’s main building is clearly visible.

“We’ll go in through the pass near the equator.” Sandra said as she adjusted the parameters on the screen, and when she was done, she walked over to the porthole and pointed directly at the planetary project on the equatorial circle.

Dawn Lucius heard Sandra tell him about planetary engineering, which is the technology of secondary civilizations to transform planets, digging up the equator and building a large circle on it, with a pipe leading into the core at intervals, which can artificially change the climate of the planet, and even the ability to modify the gravitational magnitude. Very impressive engineering, but Dawn Lucius feels awkward, it looks like a very ugly scar.

“Can’t we find a place to go closer to Bourlo City?” Dawn Lucius asked.

“No, there are Strath people’s troops all around Bourlo City, it’s dangerous for a few of us to go there.” Sandra said, glancing back at the dense red dots on the screen.

Samuel used his ID to get in touch with the defender of Bourlo City to find out that the person in charge of defending the city was now a subordinate of Samuel, which gave the army great confidence when they heard Duncan’s arrival. After the ship landed, the shuttle station had been cleared out. Dawn Lucius could hardly imagine that the planet that was once the liveliest in all of Orion Arm was now as cold as the end of days. When they were looking for a car at the shuttle station, they met a hollow-eyed old man who was the maintenance man at the shuttle station, responsible for the maintenance of small pieces of robots. From him, they learned that the people who could escape from Visadio Planet had already escaped, and some had entered Bourlo City before the war to join the defending forces. A few people took a shuttle bus to Bourlo City, the road is not much life, empty streets like the veins of a dead city, the closer to Bourlo City, different dress corpses can be seen everywhere.

It took them a long time to enter Bourlo City through a secret passage, the exit is the southern side of Bourlo City, where not only is the defense force insufficient, civil resistance groups in the eyes of Dawn Lucius is just a bunch of rabble, if there is really a war, they are very likely to instantly become bandits, taking the opportunity to rob their own people. The worst thing is that the southern wall of Bourlo City is also the thinnest place, where Lord Winifred’s palace is located, he felt that the southern city is too obstructive to his view, so he demolished the walls much lower, he also eliminated the temporary resting place for the soldiers of the southern city in order to make his palace more exquisite, no shelter, no food supply station, and even no agency to deal with sudden fire mansion stationed here. And at this time, the Ninth Legion is assembling outside the city, the soldiers are happy to see Duncan, they may originally be desperate, Ashton Federation best general appeared, the army’s morale did get a brief boost, until the Ninth Legion’s small attack airships gradually approach the walls.

Duncan ordered the eviction airships to take off and fight against the Ninth Legion airships; if the defensive fire points were destroyed, the walls would be broken by the Ninth Legion. Dawn Lucius put Sandra behind him and retreated to the shelter below the wall to observe, looking through the window, the airships on either side were like two flocks of birds in a hurry, instantly mingling in the wind, tearing at each other, some falling, others, folding back with wounds and continuing to tear, until they fell, staining the yellow earth into a ball of fire, and then extinguished, leaving the black smoke listless. The black smoke is left floating listlessly.

Dawn Lucius had not yet recovered from the sound of the artillery firing from both sides, Duncan had already urged the ground troops to organize their formation, he had regrouped the scattered troops and concentrated the combat capable soldiers in the middle of the wall, after asking, he learned that most of the defensive fire points in the city had not been saved, which made the faces of those present hang with loss, Duncan was talking to Samuel discussing how to defend. “General ......,” Dawn Lucius said at the top of her lungs as she came up to the two men. “It’s clear that their first wave of attacks destroyed the fire points in order to protect the airships dropping troops in the second wave. Our fire points have been pretty much destroyed, I suggest placing our soldiers near a few open squares, the odds are that the Ninth Legionnaires will choose to land in a square with open terrain, and it will be more effective to attack when they are halfway down and before they can stand still we will attack.”

Samuel glanced at Duncan, after all, he was not sure if Duncan’s brother-in-law was reliable, Duncan also hesitated, but nodded yes. Sandra took some soldiers to guard the walls to avoid people climbing in outside the walls, while Dawn Lucius and two others took three groups of men to ambush near the three main squares in the city. Then the second wave of the Ninth Legion attack began, with the troop-carrying airships acting like an artificial curtain, covering the sky over Bourlo City. But Dawn Lucius wasn’t sure, he wasn’t sure if the Ninth Legion troop carriers would stop at the three squares they had ambushed, the soldiers were already like loaded bullets, when the carriers arrived, they would fly out like slugs driven by gunpowder.

Dawn Lucius ambled in front of the soldiers, an excessive amount of sweat seeping from his palms, making his grip on the butt of his rifle untenable as he rubbed it on his shirt and wiped it with the corner of his shirt again. He turned his face to look at the soldiers around him, who were staring straight ahead at the empty square. It was amazing that a sunny afternoon could be a preparation for a killing of your life. If there was no war, the old people might be sitting by the fountain sunbathing, the mothers hanging out, the children chasing happily. “Coming coming coming.” The soldier in front of the ambush said quietly in excitement, Dawn Lucius worried that the Ninth Legion is not coming, heart is put down, but the thought of the next life and death struggle, his heart again to the throat.

The troop-carrying airships began to gather above the square, the soldiers at the head were first beamed down, they quickly set up a defense at the edge of the square, the draped ladder on the ship began to descend, Dawn Lucius raised his fist to signal the people behind him not to move, first down a group of people, the soldiers around him have been anxious to press on. But this is not the time, if you rush out now, the troop-carrying blimp will take the main force to change places or escape, that does not achieve the purpose of elimination, Dawn Lucius breathed heavily.

After the group made it to the ground without incident, Dawn Lucius knew that it was time to swing his fist and shout with all his might, “Charge.”

The heavy firearms ambushed in the rear opened fire together, and the troop-carrying boats hanging in mid-air of the Ninth Legion scattered like popcorn, and those soldiers who were too late to disembark mixed in the debris of the airship and fell heavily on the ground. And the soldiers surrounding the ground, in the case of the absolute numerical superiority of the Ashton people, were purged in a very short time, the victory came so fast that some Ashton soldiers rushing behind did not even touch the enemy.

“Let’s hurry back to the walls.” Samuel said after the three of them rejoined.

“General, leave some of your men behind to take care of our soldiers’ bodies and drag the enemy bodies outside the city.” Dawn Lucius reached out to block Samuel, who was about to leave.

“Why? Where’s the time.” Samuel looked at Dawn Lucius impatiently, ready to go.

Dawn Lucius blocked his way and continued. “General, just because a soldier is dead doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter, they were someone’s son, someone’s husband, someone’s father, and when they die, they have to give their body back to their loved ones. Besides, if we don’t respect the dead soldiers, the living will think that death doesn’t get respect, and no one will sincerely sell their lives.” Samuel’s face eased, and Dawn Lucius, sensing that the other man was listening, continued. “The enemy’s body, return to the enemy, this is respect for the dead, most importantly, the body in the city decay may cause a virus, put outside the city will reduce the risk of the virus infecting the city.”

Eventually, Samuel listened to Dawn Lucius’s advice to see Sandra, her worry only to reduce some, to Dawn Lucius’s body all over, deeply afraid that he was injured. The next defense was set up in the city when the messenger came to inform them that Madam Winifred wanted to see them, including Dawn Lucius, and then after setting up the defense plan, several people took a small dirigible and flew in the direction of Madam Winifred’s palace. In the middle of the columns, there is a transparent cylinder standing, that is, the chambers of Madam Winifred, the cylinder is filled with airships acting as patrols and guards.

Samuel led a few of them outside the building and disembarked the airship, surrendered their weapons, and stepped onto the road into the palace with the usher, the road was blue-gray, flat, and so clean that they could see their own reflections. Dawn Lucius looked up ahead, and in the distance there were three female faces on the pillar with the same expression, especially the eyes that defied everything.

After a long walk, they finally met Madam Winifred at the top of the cylinder. Duncan had said that Madam Winifred was at least 9,000 years old, so in theory she should look like an old woman. Madam Winifred hair braided into many thin strips, tied at the back of the head and scattered on the shoulders, the top of the braid like a glowing firefly, the body of the dress into a light green, looks smoother than silk, she stood barefoot in the middle of the hall, looking at the four people with contempt.

“Madam Winifred ......” Samuel stepped forward and owed his luggage, raising his hand and pointing to the three Dawn Lucius behind him. “These three are from Cavnos Planet ......”

“I know.” Madam Winifred interrupted Samuel and turned to look out of the floor-to-ceiling window and continued. “You organized the army to repel the Ninth Legion’s attack thanks to you, but to say the least, this victory is not meaningful.” Before several people could respond, Madam Winifred said sternly. “You will stop sabotaging my plans, or I will treat you as enemies.”

“Ma’am, I didn’t understand what you said.” Samuel asked.

“Don’t understand?” Madam Winifred sneered and turned her face to look at him. “Lord Winifred is still in Carlson’s hands, all of Orion Arm’s army is rushing towards Visadio Planet, everyone has different shenanigans, but the end result, isn’t it that they want the White Crystal technology in my hands? Forget it ......” Madam Winifred waved his hand, turned his face to look at the three Dawn Lucius and said coldly. “Prince Burt and I have reached a truce, and the Duncan family deserves a lot of credit.”

“Ma’am, I don’t understand, what is the merit of our family?” Sandra asked tentatively.

“Ashton Federation can continue to keep, but, Strath people need Ashton Federation to give up military training and Prince Burt needs your heads as a gift for this negotiation ...... ” Madam Winifred pointed at Duncan and Sandra.

Just then, Dawn Lucius noticed a large number of heavily armed soldiers pouring into the hall, forming a circle around several people and slowly approaching them.

“Ma’am, you’re going to kill the people defending Ashton Federation?” Samuel cried, glancing at a few people before continuing. “By doing so, our soldiers will no longer have the confidence to protect Ashton Federation ......”

“You shut up.” Madam Winifred yelled, she raised her hand and five soldiers instantly tied Samuel up and gagged him, the only thing Samuel could do was continue to weep.

“Ma’am, Ashton people never kill their own people.” Duncan said with an indulgence.

“It’s not what it used to be, General Duncan.”

“Madam, our family has laid down our lives for generations to protect Ashton Federation, my father helped the old emperor to fight numerous planets to have the glorious Ashton Federation, you want to kill us now, how can you face the people of Ashton Federation?” Duncan asked in a stern voice.

“Since your family is willing to lay down their lives for the Federation, you will die even if you fight in the war, so consider yourself sacrificed for the Federation in the battlefield.” Madam Winifred, like an abandoned woman with a broken family, was mindlessly destroying the things in her house, she raised her hand and pointed at Sandra, laughing coldly. “And you.”

Just then, a group of soldiers surrounded Duncan and Sandra and tied them up.

“Lady ......” Dawn Lucius shouted, the soldiers stopped what they were doing and looked at Madam Winifred, she raised her hand to signal to stop and Dawn Lucius continued. “Strath people now just let you destroy their own general, when Duncan and Sandra are dead, their next request is for your head ah. Have you thought about it, people are just letting you into the trap step by step, huh?”

“Nonsense, Prince Burt promised me in front of so many people, you don’t spoil my plan.”

“Ma’am, Ashton Federation now only Duncan family can keep, only his siblings are there, they can order all Ashton Federation people to protect Visadio Planet, you kill them, not only will let Strath people’s plot succeed, also will let If you kill them, not only will the Strath people’s plot succeed, but also the people of the Ashton Federation will hate you. Dawn Lucius pleaded.

Madam Winifred turned her back, looked down at the floor, and after a moment of silence, she shuffled over to Dawn Lucius, looked up at him, and said, verbatim. “Earthling, you have another purpose.” Hearing this, Dawn Lucius felt bad, and before he had time to think, Madam Winifred gritted his teeth and continued. “A deal with the Strath people is a deal, and as for you, there are plenty of people interested in what’s on your arm. When I cut it off and give it to someone in need, he will naturally destroy the Strath people for me.”

“What do you mean ......?” Dawn Lucius remembered what General Les had said, it seemed that he had been missed along the way, who was it?

“All right.” Madam Winifred raised her hand, and the three of them were tied up tightly and gagged.

Dawn Lucius can not die ah, Ashton Federation did not succeed in stopping Strath people, the solar system will not be able to save, that is Stacean Lucius favorite place ah, and Sandra and Duncan, they can not be beheaded, Dawn Lucius back of the head want to fire like uncomfortable, he clenched his fist He clenched his fist and tightened all his muscles, trying to evoke the purple layer of light to end it all. Dawn Lucius, with his head down, rushed through the crowd and was kicked to the ground after he hit the floor with his head, hoping to conjure up the purple color, but in the end, he only got a face full of blood.

Dawn Lucius was caught up, through the blurred vision, Sandra full of tears looking at him shaking his head, he can understand, Sandra heartache him. But she also does not understand, for Dawn Lucius, he continues to live the meaning is to protect Stacean Lucius where, people, right, a lifetime can go to many places, but want to go back to few places, there is only home, if the solar system is gone, he Dawn Lucius will have no place to go back to. There is still some reluctance, he wants to really live with the woman he likes, Dawn Lucius is not willing, his feet grinding from side to side, let the soles grip the ground, build up strength, he rushed hard to the house, but was held down by the soldiers. madam Winifred raised his hand, the soldiers mentioned Dawn Lucius in front of her, after unsealing the device sealed on the mouth, madam Winifred sneered. “Quasi-Star Map Draftsman, can’t afford to evoke dark matter, right? To be honest, I’ve only heard of it, but I’ve never really seen it with my own eyes.”

“Then you try untying me.” Dawn Lucius said provocatively.

Dawn Lucius rubbed his wrist and squeezed the Star Source on his right arm several times, but no matter how hard he tried, no matter how many times he recalled his previous experiences, he couldn’t conjure up the purple light, and Dawn Lucius fell to his knees in exhaustion. Dawn Lucius tiredly kneeled on the ground.

Madam Winifred walked up to him and said. “Earthling, call out, right, it seems you will not know why until you die?”

“I have a request, can I have it?” Dawn Lucius bowed her head in loss.

“I can cut off the arm for you, but please let Duncan and Sandra go.”

“Haha, joke.” Madam Winifred sneered and raised her foot on Dawn Lucius’ hand and continued. “It’s come to this, it’s not up to me to decide whether your arm should be cut off or not?”

“I am willing to tell Lady Datheon the secret of energy, the secret that only I know.” Dawn Lucius ninja pain said.

Madam Winifred retracted her foot, she seemed interested.

“What’s the secret?”

“Dark energy, the ability to live forever and sweep across the universe, I know how to master.” Dawn Lucius said as she looked up at Madam Winifred.

“This is new, dark energy only Datheon can master, they rely on this ability to sweep the entire galaxy at first, hard to Orion Arm from my hands, divided between the dirty Strath people and treacherous Moreth people, you a Terran will this? ”

“Ma’am, have you ever seen Datheon use dark energy?”

“Purple energy, Orion Arm who doesn’t know?” Madam Winifred’s voice slows as she seems to understand.

“Yes, I called out twice, madam, I had died in the Kuiper belt of the solar system, but before I died I gained the secret of mastering dark energy, which you have heard of, right?”

Madam Winifred waved her hand and defied Dawn Lucius, acting as if she had little interest. “I’m not interested in hearing about you.”

“Madam, spare Sandra and Duncan, I am willing to tell you the secret, then, not to mention Strath people, Orion Arm people will be loyal to you again, loyal to Ashton Federation,” Dawn Lucius said while the momentum .

“How do I know if what you say about the secret is true or not?”

“Ma’am, if it’s a fake, then why should the person on my arm care so much?”

Madam Winifred didn’t answer as he walked over to Sandra, who was bundled into a dumpling, and stroked her hair playfully.

“I can promise you to leave Sandra alone, you are her husband right?” Madam Winifred yanked Sandra’s hair so hard that Sandra’s face turned in pain as she walked over to Dawn Lucius and continued. “But she must not reappear, or at least, be dead when she enters here, understand?”

Dawn Lucius held back her anger and spoke up. “Ma’am, I told you the secret to spare the two siblings, not to mention, Duncan’s political stance is on your side ah.”

“Don’t get ahead of yourself, Duncan is the key token compared to Strath people’s agreement, either, all three of you die together, or you tell me the secret and I’ll spare Sandra, think about it quickly.”

Dawn Lucius looked up at Sandra, she shook her head one after another, he looked at Duncan again, Duncan nodded heavily, Sandra turned around to see her brother nodding, tears like a broken reservoir

“Okay, I promise you. Can I say goodbye to them alone?”

“Whatever, hold on to it.”

Sandra was untied and Dawn Lucius took her in her arms. “I’m sorry for not being able to protect you and your brother.”

“No need to apologize, it was an honor to meet you.”

“I still owe you a wedding.”

“I’ll wait for you, there’s always a chance to do it.”

“Good.” Dawn Lucius touched the back of her head, he let go of Sandra, took off the flexible screen in his left hand and handed it to her, looked her in the eyes and said solemnly. “This is the most precious thing I have, you keep it for me, my son, the meaning of my life, he’s gone now, but he’s still the meaning of my life.”

Sandra nodded vigorously as she took the device and carried it in her left hand.

Madam Winifred urged him to hurry up and finish, and Sandra was put on a small spaceship, piercing through Visadio Planet’s atmosphere and disappearing from Dawn Lucius’ view, which gave him a lot of peace of mind. Then, like a huge plant began to grow wildly, until the sky was obscured before stopping. During the time he waited for Madam Winifred to dispose of him, Dawn Lucius felt himself become unusually calm, he was not afraid of death, nor was he worried about what would happen to Orion Arm, perhaps, a little regretful not to be able to say thank you to Katherine, thinking of Katherine, Dawn Lucius always felt some of her The sense of closeness, yes, and Norm Quentin, Dawn Lucius always felt that his demeanor reveals the feeling of relatives, but this seems unlikely, unless, forget it, Dawn Lucius’s wife is not much likely to go and marry another one.

The room where Dawn Lucius was held was empty, with a large window facing west. He had seen the sunset over Visadio Planet several times, and the sunset he saw on Earth did not differ much, and he did not know when Madam Winifred disposed of him, or whether Duncan had been killed, and as to why his ability to awaken dark matter had disappeared, he didn’t care that much anymore. He lay on the floor. The breeze blew, and Dawn Lucius felt a chill on his face as he clasped his hands to his chest and tightened the collar of his shirt. The trees on either side of the road were almost blocking out the sky, and none of them were willing to be smaller than the other, trying to grow into each other’s space until they were so intertwined that the trees couldn’t tell whose leaves were tangled together and whose were the other’s. Dawn Lucius looked back and forth, and it didn’t look like there was much difference between the two ends of the road, so he was going to go ahead and maybe, find someone to ask questions. He walked for a while and came to a crossroads, where there was a simple hanging pavilion, the original red washed by the rain and became old, the stools inside were worn smooth, probably a bunch of old men often played erhu here, or, like Dad, took Stacean Lucius here to do his homework, and exchanged toys with the neighboring children here. At the other end of the intersection, there is no difference, the trees surround the city a gradually smaller channel, the farthest point of the channel in the eyes of Dawn Lucius shrunk into a point, a wind blew through, blowing away the leaves, the sun naturally down through, the whole road becomes light and shadow shifting.

“Wake up.” Someone kicked Dawn Lucius and he woke up from his dream, fixing his eyes on the visitor, who was none other than Jonathan’s finance officer.

“It’s you?” Dawn Lucius asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Then who do you think it is?”

“What are you doing here?”

“What did you expect?” The treasurer said as he looked at Dawn Lucius’ right arm.

Dawn Lucius glanced at his right arm, Star Source no longer glowing, more like a scar embedded in his hand.

“You’re the one who wants this equipment?” Dawn Lucius asked, looking at the finance officer.

“So what if it is?”

“What did you bring it for? The device doesn’t necessarily choose you.”

“What do you care about me, the choice is not up to me, the device is just a device.”

“I remember, no wonder you were so arrogant in front of Jonathan.” Dawn Lucius also did not give the finance officer a good tone, said contemptuously.

“What do you remember?” The treasurer came to his senses and turned his face to look at Dawn Lucius.

“Isn’t your little ambition to replace your Moreth steader?” Dawn Lucius stood up and walked over to the finance officer, looked down at his forehead and continued. “You don’t have the life to be a Moreth steader, got it?”

“What makes you think I don’t have that life?” The treasurer looked at Dawn Lucius with a look toward two arrows coated with venom.

“Moreth steader should be a benevolent man, not a trickster villain like you, and what’s more, even if you become one, you’ll be scolded for at least ten thousand years, and for a generation you’ll be a traitor.”

“I’m afraid of scolding?” The treasurer asked rhetorically through clenched teeth.

“At first you must not be afraid ah, become Moreth steader, look around, the whole Moreth Federation is yours, you hold the power of life and death of everyone. You do not say, this must feel great ah, but, with the loss of time ...... and then ......”

“And then what?”

“Then you begin to doubt yourself, the voices against you grow, and instead of a hero, parents tell their children bedtime stories about how a traitor killed a king and usurped the throne. Then you must not be happy, you start to suppress, you start to kill, and the more people you hurt, the more people who curse you increase exponentially. You know the result, don’t you?”

“What’s the result?” The treasurer glared at Dawn Lucius.

“That’s not to mention, you die with a bad name on your back. If you want me to say, you might as well be a good financial officer, to keep the Moreth Federation prosperous, the Moreth Federation’s people will regard you as a hero.” Dawn Lucius finished, the treasurer’s face looked a little hard, he turned around and walked to the door.

Pausing for a moment and then folding back, he stood in front of Dawn Lucius for a moment, looked up at him and asked. “What do you want?”

“Let me go.” Dawn Lucius’ heart pounded and he looked anxiously at the treasurer’s lips, expecting the answer he wanted to emerge from there.

The treasurer did not answer directly, he walked out the door and called three soldiers to come with him. Dawn Lucius put his hands up so that it would be easier for the soldiers to open the metal shackles that were binding him. After the three soldiers came up, the leader walked up to him, and the other two stood next to him. The two men held his arms, and just then the lead soldier punched Dawn Lucius hard in the stomach, causing the acid in his stomach to squeeze down his throat, and Dawn Lucius bent over in pain, spicy saliva pouring out of his nose.

The treasurer walked up to him, and when Dawn Lucius looked up, the treasurer began to laugh, and he couldn’t breathe at first, and then the laughter sent his saliva into his alveoli, and the treasurer began to cough, coughing as if his insides were bursting. “What an inferior creature, your nonsense, to deceive Ashton Federation fools okay, in front of me you will be honest. You never understood what was going on until you died, sadly.”
