Chapter 188 Darkness
In the deep starry sky, there are many "light bodies" traveling at high speed. They do not emit light themselves. It is an illusion caused by the radiance of stars shining on their highly reflective armor.
They are the remnants of the defeated soldiers who escaped from the battlefield, the survivors of the Fourth Fleet. Among them are deserters and refugees who successfully escaped from the civilian transport ships.
After all the motherships were destroyed, these battleships are currently on the run.
These battleships use pulse engines, so they can accelerate to extremely high speeds and can throw Hogu, who is still in the chemical engine stage, a few streets away, so Hogu did not choose to pursue them.
But this does not mean that the alien’s escape journey will go smoothly...
"What should we do now? This issue is of great importance."
"Part of the battleship was taken over by refugees."
"Their behavior has seriously violated the empire's sacred and unshakable laws."
"Yes, even if they return to their home planet, it will be a capital crime that will be tried immediately upon disembarkation."
…
In the military channel, the warships controlled by the military were conducting encrypted communication meetings with each other. The core of this meeting was the refugees who expelled the soldiers from the warships and usurped control of the warships. No, at this time, Diao
People are more suitable.
The conversations in the channel are very violent, but without exception they all express one meaning - to convict those unruly people.
The channel meeting was noisy for a while, and finally, a person with enough weight in the fleet spoke.
"...You know, I don't like beating around the bush. It's meaningless. Just do it. There's no need to explain too much. It's just a waste of time."
With that said, the captain made his final speech for this meeting.
"The Rumbler-class battleship Leon agrees to this treason trial verdict."
"Assault-class destroyer USS Skitter, reconsideration."
…
"Silver-class frigate detachment 021, reconsideration."
"Predator-class cruiser Artemis, reconsideration."
One warship after another agreed to this resolution, and after agreeing on a combat time, the staff officers of each ship began to formulate a judgment plan against those rebellious ones.
There will be nothing else for the captains to do next, their meeting has ended, and the communication channel is the home field of the staff at this time.
However, at this moment, a discordant voice joined the channel.
"Gentlemen, you seem to be having a great time chatting."
"Sir Maven? So you are still alive!"
All the captains immediately recognized the identity of the person who joined the channel.
"Yeah, I'm still alive. I'm very lucky, but I'm also very lucky, because a dark farce is about to be staged in front of me, and I'm very uneasy."
The captains recognized what Maven was referring to.
"..."
"We are only dealing with rebellion in accordance with the laws of the empire, that's all..."
"Yes, we are here to deal with rebellion."
Some of the captains chose to remain silent, while others chose to defend themselves. Maven retorted coldly.
"Oh, is that so? Lying is not the behavior of a gentleman."
At this time, the captain of the battleship Leon spoke.
"Sir Marvin, with your intelligence, you should understand the problems we are currently facing. Noble people cannot survive. You can choose to commit suicide, but you cannot ask others to die with you."
"We are captains and we are responsible for the lives of our own crew members."
"Besides, we gave them the right to choose, but they didn't know how to cherish it."
Maven sneered at the Leon captain's remarks.
"If you want to do bad things, just say you are doing bad things. Isn't that what you said before? Why have you changed your words now?"
"Choice? Don't be ridiculous, even if they know how to cherish it, the result will still be the same, right?"
The captain of the Leon's face darkened, as did the captains of other battleships.
"So are you planning to stand against us?"
While saying this, the battleship's guns, which were still under the control of the original soldiers of the empire, turned and aimed at a certain ship in the fleeing fleet - this communication skill was enough for these well-trained war machines to search for and lock onto the ship where Maven was.
The position of the ship.
"How could that be? I just came here to ask if I can join?"
The captains were slightly stunned, their minds still not turning around for a while.
"You said you wanted to join?"
"reason."
The captain of the Leon asked directly, and Maven didn't waste any words.
"I am also a captain now. Is this reason enough?"
The captain of the Leon did not immediately answer Maven's question, but closed his eyes and remained silent at the captain's seat.
However, Maven's subsequent additions immediately moved the captain of the Leon. That sentence contained too much meaning.
"You don't really think that my brother is a fool, do you?"
"...Okay, I agree with your joining, and I believe others do too."
After weighing the pros and cons, the captain of the Leon agreed with Maven's joining, and the last words stopped those idiots in the fleet who didn't know Maven's other identity.
After the conversation ended, Maven sighed quietly and left the bridge.
"Maven, you seem to have something on your mind."
On her way back to her room, Marvin was stopped by someone who knew her.
"You are...Nav Rosen."
"So you're still alive!?"
Maven couldn't help but widen her eyes. According to the news she received, the Nav she knew had died near the door of the library in the shelter.
"This... there are many reasons, which are quite tortuous. In short, it's just good luck."
Nav scratched his head and asked with concern.
"It's you, are you sick? You look so ugly, do you need my help to help you back to your room?"
"No."
Maven shook his head slightly.
"I'm thinking about the battle ahead."
"Oh, I know this. I heard you say on the channel that some ships were seized by lawless mobs. As a member of the empire, we need to do our part for the empire."
Nav patted his chest and showed a confident smile.
"Don't worry, I am the number one in battleship command in the military academy. I will never let this battleship be harmed by a group of enemies who don't even have the professional knowledge to meet the standards."
As the top topical figure in the military academy, he did not dare to say anything else, but the bridge was definitely his territory. Even the active captain had defeated many in the simulated battles at the military academy.
However, Maven showed a bitter smile, pursed his lower lip, and buried his eyes in the shadow of his hair.
"Wrong, not 'enemy'."
"Well……"
Nav was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but become curious.
"If it's not an enemy, what is it?"
"yes……"
"Food."
