Star Wars: The Silver Pledge

After wandering briefly in the asteroid belt [Dui] for a few days, the Silver officially set off to return to the base of the Knights.

What surprised Xiao En was that the base of the Silver Knights was actually located in the most prosperous and prosperous trading hub planet [Xun] in the entire galaxy.

[Xun] has a very special status in the Qian galaxy. It is not the capital of the galaxy, but due to its unique geographical environment and historical origins, it has nearly half of the population of the entire galaxy—more than the capital [Kun], and nearly six into wealth.

When Xiao En first arrived at the capital planet [Kun] of the Qian galaxy, he was amazed at the prosperity of the place. However, when the Silver appeared outside the atmosphere of [Xun], Xiao En discovered that when it comes to prosperity, [Kun] is compared with [Xun]. It seems to be even worse.

Looking down from space, one can only see a prosperous scene on the surface of the planet. The buildings made of metal are like a dense steel forest, firmly occupying most of the surface of the planet, and they are rendered strangely by the lights.

In a daze, the Jedi apprentice seemed to have returned to Coruscant.

However, after a while, as the planet rotated and the prosperity passed, Xiao En saw the edge of this metal forest.

Not every corner has enjoyed the prosperity and glory of [Sunda].

Apart from the prosperity, there are large areas of desolation, abandoned metal old capitals, bare deserts, over-drilled mines, dry oceans...all of these are only a thin line away from the brilliant lights.

And the destination of the Silver is in an abandoned steel town.

Abandoned buildings full of rust appeared in the desert in a criss-cross pattern, surrounded by severely deserted rocks, the thin vegetation was completely unable to maintain the soil, and the flying sand covered the traces of people's existence on this land Into strange mottled shapes.

However, amidst the desolation, vitality can be seen.

In the abandoned mine pit, there are many metal buildings erected, most of them still maintain the basic structural shape and can still be used normally; several oases dug by man are stubbornly rooted in the desert, all kinds of dilapidated but still Booming machinery keeps the water source inexhaustible

Then, countless human beings live here, even if they are poor and poor, people are still living tenaciously.

——

"Finally home."

Chen Sanwan, who shared the room with Xiao En, stood at the window, overlooking the desolate land under his feet, but he felt as carefree as drinking hard alcohol, twisted his body unconsciously, and tried his best to show passionate dance steps.

Sean asked curiously: "Is this the base of the Silver Knights?"

Chen Sanwan corrected very seriously: "No, this is the home of the Silver Knights."

What is the difference between a home and a base?

The answer to this question was perfectly answered when Sean stepped off the Silver.

——

"Boss Li, welcome back!"

"Brother Li, we just got a batch of good wine, remember to drink tonight!"

"Brother Li, after being away for so long, do you miss us sisters? Don't be too fond of the new and dislike the old~"

"Boss, I heard that you are coming back. I prepared the food and drinks early on. This time, I will cook the food myself. You must do me a favor!"

When the Silver landed on a flat harbor covered with fine sand, there were already dense crowds gathered around.

Most of them wore simple and poor clothes, and their faces were dusty due to the wind and sand, but their faces were filled with satisfied smiles of relatives returning home, and they held all kinds of local products and gifts in their hands, as if they were welcoming the returning generals in triumph.

Li Yu stepped down from the Silver Room first, waving his arms enthusiastically in response to people's cheers.

"Haha, Lao Liu, I will thank Bumin for your good wine. One batch of wine is mixed with ten batches of water. I might as well just drink more hot water!"

"Boss Li, don't tear me down in front of so many people!"

"Sister Liu, you should also be calm. You are getting old, find an honest person to take over the job, and stop playing around. No matter how much makeup you use on your face, you can't pretend to be a young man!"

"Damn it!? Li, you forgot that your old lady fed you milk back then!?"

"Mr. Jin, I've been looking forward to your special dishes for a long time, but I'd better wait until you can really distinguish between sugar and salt before hosting a banquet for outsiders. I've had a hard time going out, and I don't want to wrong my taste buds."

"You kid grew up eating my food!"

"So I have always had childhood shadows, haha!"

Li Yu and the people who surrounded him spoke freely as if they were relatives. While he was coping with the enthusiasm of the crowd, the hatch at the tail of the Silver was slowly opened, and the two mechanical arms were constantly moving the huge metal box outwards, which was full of supplies urgently needed by the residents of the desolate land.

Food, drinking water, medicine, mechanical tools...

And someone had already been driving a crude transport ship, commanding a dilapidated second-hand robot, sorting out the materials unloaded from the Silver, and then transporting them to the place where they were needed.

Li Yu's robot assistant, Bai, stood coldly in front of the cabin door, directing the deployment of supplies on the ship.

The robot always maintains that cold posture and tone, showing no color to everyone who comes close.

"The excavation equipment in the third area has been put in place, please open the tunnel in the mining area as soon as possible according to the plan."

"The water purification chips in shelter No. 7 have also been put in place, please solve the drinking water problem of the shelter residents within three days."

"There are five batches of emergency rations. Please come and collect the top five regional representatives in the lottery."

...

Bai's assignments were orderly and unquestionable. Most of the people around her obeyed silently to maintain order at the scene.

But after all, there are very few people who are unwilling to follow the crowd.

Several heavily armed men rushed out from the crowd, stood in front of Bai, and asked sharply.

"Hey, since you still have food here, why don't you share it with us!?"

Baitou responded without raising his head: "The remaining batch of food is for Chunquan Village. There has been a famine for a long time, and there are still many women and children. The priority is much higher than you newcomers."

The man in the lead was a little anxious and amused: "Chunquan Village? There are only a group of wastes who can neither work nor fight, right? In this deserted area, why should women and children have higher priority than us? Boss Li also wants to go out to fight Yes, you can bring people from our fraternity! The men of the Iron Fang Brotherhood have never lost to outsiders!"

Bai said coldly: "There is no need for wastes on the Baiyin, and there is no need for scum who regard women and children as cumbersome."

"Who do you call scum? It's just scrap copper and rotten iron..."

Before the burly man finished speaking, several murderous figures appeared behind Bai.

They were all crew members on the Silver, some wore the protective clothing of a mechanic, some wore a chef's apron, and some even wore pajamas and nightcaps, completely looking like a good family of non-combatants.

But from that ferocious and hungry smile, there was an undisguised killing intent.

"Iron Fang Brotherhood? I haven't heard of it, are you new here?"

"Insulting Lord Bai in front of us, you really have the guts."

"The boss was basically bored on the boat during the whole mission, worrying about itchy hands and having nowhere to vent. I didn't expect that someone who didn't have a good eye would come to my door!"

"However, Boss Li has always warned us not to fight indiscriminately."

"This kind of mess deserves to be called fighting? At most, it can be regarded as beating bags. The boss didn't say that beating bags are not allowed?"

"It makes sense, then I'll make a salute first!"

While speaking, the armed men from the Iron Fang Brotherhood watched helplessly as a group of wolves and tigers charged fiercely at the crew.

They subconsciously wanted to raise their weapons to fight, but found that the battle was over long before they could react.

Everyone was thrown to the ground in an instant, and the armed arms were bent into strange angles. The metal armor, heavy blaster guns and other equipment they used to show off their strength could not be fully utilized in close-range hand-to-hand combat. effect.

Everyone was lying on the ground like livestock on a slaughtering assembly line, unable to move.

As one of the parties involved, Bai didn't even look at this farce, as if everything was taken for granted, and he was still deploying supplies in an orderly manner.

Soon, the huge cargo hold of the Silver was completely emptied by her, and all kinds of supplies were flawlessly distributed to the poor people around.

"Master Bai, thank you very much!"

"Please be sure to visit our town next time. With this batch of emergency supplies, the next year will surely have a bumper harvest. Our specialty Ziying fruit is the number one in the surrounding area!"

"By the way, Mr. Bai, there is another problem with our generator set, can you please help us pay attention to the spare parts when we go out next time?"

...

Sean stood behind the crowd and watched the whole process, and finally realized why Li Yu, an exceptionally elite team, was always troubled by financial problems.

Because they have a warm and poor home.

Seeing the warmth and hustle and bustle of this home, Xiao En suddenly felt that no matter what the reason for the Silver's attack on Nanjia Manor was...it doesn't matter anymore.

Just thinking of this, Sean suddenly felt someone approaching from behind.

It turned out that Li Yu had finished dealing with the enthusiastic people, returned to the boat, and came to Xiao En's side.

"How about it, are you particularly moved? It feels like the Silver Knights are like the messengers of justice who are chivalrous and righteous?"

Just as Xiao En was about to speak, Li Yu patted his shoulder hard and swallowed all the words.

"If you think so, you are wrong. We are just a group of mortals struggling to survive. We have neither the interest in being a hero nor the energy for righteousness. Although the life-saving supplies on this ship can make countless people laugh, but more than 80% They were not obtained through legal channels. So don’t have any moral expectations of us, you can’t afford it.”

Xiao En was silent for a while after hearing the words, and asked, "Why are you telling me this?"

Li Yu laughed and said: "Because you look like a messenger of justice, so I must make it clear in advance, so as not to drag others down by doing stupid things in the future. Remember, the Silver Knights are never responsible for maintaining World peace never pursues moral superiority.”

"If you really want to do good deeds, and you can't help it, I can donate 10 million Qiankun coins to the charity fund in your name, so that you can work on the Baiyin Bank to pay off your debts for the rest of your life. Otherwise, just obey orders honestly , don't think about superfluous things. You are in debt now, and your bounden duty is to repay the debt, understand?"

Sean nodded silently.

"Okay, I like dealing with smart people the most. Although it saves lines, it also saves worry. Since you nodded, I won't talk nonsense with you about what happens to people who break the rules... After that, I will take you to the red Team Xing, I wish you happy paying off your debts over there."
