Him and their stars

The riot quickly swept through the entire city of Kelna like a raging fire.

Even the elite Imperial Army, ah no, the space station commander's security personnel, felt a little unprepared at this time. They did think about the possibility of pirates revolting in the city, and even prepared several emergency suppression plans; however, this sudden rebellion developed too fast, completely beyond their imagination, and all plan direction.

What's even more troublesome is that Lieutenant General Tadan and Marquis Odegaard said that they are still in the port, and another violent explosion occurred there, and the situation should be very critical. The area where the rioting pirates are located is much closer to the port and shipyard. Who knows if the thugs will suddenly think twice and go to the shipyard to do shopping for zero dollars.

Once the space shipyard where the empire spends a lot of money is destroyed, it will be a major dereliction of duty by all the security personnel present. If another vice admiral and a noble noble of the empire are injured... According to the imperial military regulations, all of them will not end well. , and may even affect family members.

Just thinking about that possible future made the imperial officers and soldiers present tremble with anger, but they couldn't even cry.

"Please your Excellencies, please evacuate from the emergency survival route immediately! The third team, go immediately to respond!" The imperial army brigadier general responsible for the defense and management of the military zone could only order this.

"But, sir, the emergency access pipe was also affected by the explosion. The entrance hatch to the dock was damaged and could not be opened for a while. And..."

"what else?!"

"There is a report from the port area that pirates are already attacking the shipyard! Also, several emergency passages that happened to pass through the business district were damaged in the riot just now... Our troops and combat robots cannot maneuver quickly. !”

"This is no coincidence at all!" The Brigadier slammed the table in front of him hard: "The enemy knows the structure of this space city and everything here! We have a traitor!"

The officers present looked at each other, feeling that what the general said made sense, but the more sense it made, the more suspicious the colleagues next to him looked.

But even so, they understood that now was not the time to look for traitors, so they could only suppress their doubts in their hearts, gritted their teeth, sent more troops, and entered the riot scene from the front.

They must get through the "business district" where riots are taking place before they can reach the ports and shipyards that are in urgent need of support.

But at this time, the pirates came first. They were crowded together at the entrance to the hatch, which they usually didn't dare to look at. They all looked like beaten bulls.

The leader of the Wookiee bandits shouted "waaaagh!", and then led a hundred and ten particularly capable pirates and mercenaries through the spacious passage and rushed towards the main entrance of the military restricted area.

"Warning! Warning! Outsiders, you have approached the restricted area of ​​this station! You have approached the restricted area of ​​this station! If you do not retreat after three warnings, we will automatically fire!" The automatic sentry gun turned its muzzle, A warning sound was sounded.

"For the Sunwind Radish! For the free Nebula!"

"For the free nebula! Down with the imperial oppressors!" the pirates shouted in unison, their eyes flashing red, as if they could burn the fire of the old world.

The security robot at the door is still executing the final warning program: "Back off immediately! Pirates! Stop your riot immediately!"

"This is not a riot! This is a revolution!" the Wookiee roared again, knocking out the dedicated announcer with a single shot of a rifle grenade, and then took the lead with a power hammer.

He was a heroic pioneer, so he soon got the end that a pioneer deserved. He was accurately beaten into a hornet's nest by the imperial soldiers, but he was unable to stop the completely crazy pirates.

Where are the pirates? Even those elite imperial stormtroopers who shout "repay the emperor's favor with death" every day are nothing more than that.

"The psychic energy detector has extraordinary fluctuations... They should be affected by spiritual psychic energy!" Soon a technician sent a report, and then looked at his boss expectantly.

His meaning is very simple. There are psykers among the enemies, so will our Astral Knights here also be dispatched? Haven't there been rumors that there is a combat team of three astral knights stationed in the fortress of Kerna City, plus their attendants? The existence of these astral knights is one of the reasons why pirates dare not cause trouble here at will! Now that the pirates are so arrogant, it's time to show them why the Empire is the father of half the galaxy!

The brigadier kept a tight face and said nothing, thinking to himself, if I had an Astral Knight in my hand, would I still be talking to you here?

After all, he was a general, and he was also born into a minor nobleman of the empire, so he knew a little bit about the games played by the big shots in the imperial capital. He knew that it would cost more to build such a large-scale space fortress in the Far Shore Nebula than to build twenty or thirty other places, not counting the compensation for those who died in the line of duty. In addition, the empire also needs to use its most elite engineers and technicians. This is no longer a move to mobilize troops, but purely a case of snake spirit.

In short, because of this matter, the Prime Minister's Office and the Privy Council fought with each other on a daily basis, and there were even fights within the Privy Council. After ten years of fighting, although the supporters finally won, many senior officials are still full of doubts about this arduous large-scale construction project. There are even ministers born as technocrats who believe that even if the fortress is built, the future maintenance costs will be astronomical, and sooner or later it will be abandoned due to lack of necessary revenue and strategic value.

Since this is such a remote fortress that was built after competing with each other, compromising with each other, and being built amidst countless accusations and doubts, how could the aloof Astral Knight really stay here to drink from the northwest wind?

However, how can this kind of thing be explained to outsiders? Isn't it reasonable for the pirates to think that there are a few reclusive Astral Knights here?

Who knew that we would actually encounter a situation where they would have to appear at this time!

Facing the expectant looks of the people below, the Brigadier General ordered seriously: "Does this small scene require the knights to be dispatched? Are you still worthy of being honorable imperial soldiers? This, um... let the frontline soldiers put on defense fields. Helmet and sedative ready!”

Some scientists believe that psychic control of people's minds is related to various force fields, so they developed this kind of helmet for front-line soldiers. It’s hard to say whether it’s useful or not. Anyway, combined with a high-concentration sedative injection, it has good resistance to ordinary mind-controlling combat techniques.

"Let all the combat robots out!" the Brigadier said again. He was very fortunate that the main backbone of this fortress were drawn from various departments. The largest backstage kings, King Weirent and King Dendur, were two of the more lively thinkers in the election of the emperor. They did not have the airs of those old legions with glorious histories, so Robots, war weapons that are looked down upon by old-school soldiers, can be used unscrupulously.

Then, twelve metal rolling balls were seen rolling out from the passage next to the front of the Forbidden Army. Then they made a squeaking and twisting sound, and then they bounced into a crawling machine more than two meters high and unfolded. The strong armor also leaves room for shooting angles and vision.

These large robots moved forward slowly carrying shield-like armor plates, with Vulcan cannons and revolving grenade guns on the armed arms extending out on both sides, and they bombarded crowded places indiscriminately.

Imperial soldiers wearing exoskeletons and anti-force field helmets also poured out. Under the cover of robots, they moved forward step by step, naming and killing the pirates who had slipped through the net.

The Imperial soldiers quickly gained the upper hand. Of course, their current goal is to break through the chaotic "business district" and go to the port area to provide support. It is actually made up of dozens of large space capsules. It looks relatively spacious, but the connections between the various cabins have a bottleneck effect. It is still a bit troublesome for these large robots, which are nearly three meters high, to pass through. . This battle still has to be fought.

Neither the Imperial Army nor the pirates noticed that in the gap between a pipe not far from their battle, an unknown creature with a strange skeleton was huddled in the corner, secretly observing.

The unknown creature thought about it for a moment, and turned into a liquid like a slime. With a slight jump, it got into the relatively spacious engineering pipe through the crack. It gently stretched its twisted body and returned to a human "girl" of fourteen or fifteen years old.

She climbed up bit by bit, heading towards the core of the fortress. She knows very well that what can make her recover quickly and improve her strength is not only the diverse genes of various creatures, but also some rare zero elements that can be absorbed by the body, such as spiritual marrow fluid, moon dew, golden blood, and various Gem of life. And the knowledge she possessed also told her that the warehouses of large military bases like this should have some zero elements, especially the empire, which was wealthy and very good at manipulating alchemical equipment.

In fact, she did sense the smell of the zero element - in this regard, the girl's perception ability was definitely comparable to that of the top demigods.

However, the imperial army is indeed impeccable in its work. It has arranged various self-disciplined weapons to guard and guard some places that are inaccessible to normal people. The "girl" felt that there was a high possibility of being discovered if she sneaked in rashly. After all, she was still a fugitive, so she didn't dare to show up at will, nor did she dare to take risks.

Fortunately, now that the empire's battle robots are out in force, there are a lot of gaps left for them.

Even so, she was still extremely cautious, turned on her perception to the maximum, and crawled forward cautiously, while thinking about the current situation.

In short, the empire was beaten? But that has nothing to do with me. Once you swallow the zero element, find a way to escape! Just break any wall and escape. No one would pay attention to me during the war anyway. By the way, there are also psychic fluctuations just now... There are masters fighting! It's even more unsuitable to stay here for a long time.

If it were in the past, the "girl" would have sneaked away and hid nearby to see if she could become a profitable fisherman. You must know that to her, psychics are the most precious delicacies and the most nutritious tonics, which are more tonic than ordinary zero elements or even fantasy beasts.

But during this period of time, she always felt as if she had been maliciously intruded by the spirit of the universe. She had been having a bad time recently, either being beaten by masters who occasionally passed by or being judged by justice from heaven. She felt that it was better to develop secretly first, at least until her strength broke through to the fifth ring or above, and then build up an army of her own before thinking about anything else.

"Don't be anxious..." The girl touched her flat belly again and murmured in a low voice: "We will find our own home."

She wanted to say something else, but she shrank involuntarily. Her spiritual sense captured more intense extraordinary fluctuations, which were also mixed with heart-stopping pain, anger and even fear.

There are people injured? Oh, how about... no, no, you have to calm down! You can’t be fooled by the little profit in front of you!

The "girl" forced herself not to think about the battle over there, forced herself to calm down, and continued to crawl and sneak carefully.
