Chapter 683 The price of being an honest person(1/2)
Steinbel endured it for a long time but still couldn't help it. He said angrily: "Can you stop walking around in front of me? It's really annoying."
"I'll walk my way, you knock on your handrail. We don't miss the river. Why do I have to listen to you?"
Steinbel was stunned, subconsciously stopped the action of tapping the sofa armrest, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"I know you're anxious, but if you walk back and forth like this, I'll be anxious too."
Cleiston said: "Don't you be anxious if I don't leave?"
Steinbel was speechless.
In fact, not only the two of them were anxious, but also the commander of the Obsidian Fleet Carter Bonarotti, the Governor of "Atia" Buffalo, and even the always calm Kelinia has been in a daze these days.
No matter how powerful the Tang side is, it is impossible to compete with a country's military. He may be able to fight a bloody path and survive in this turbulent world, but the people under Duke Knar's leadership cannot escape from the place of life and growth. Who will protect them? Who will save them?
The young officers dared not speak, and lowered their heads and listened quietly to the children's quarrels of the two generals.
At this moment, an intelligence officer stood up and said, "General, the detector detected a large-scale warp speed abnormality, with a position of 305/202, only 5 kilometers away from the military port."
"What!" Clayston stopped.
Steinbel also stood up from the sofa, showing a shocked expression.
It was discovered by detectors that they could break through the border warp intercept network and approach the Golding Military Port. In the past, only Captain Tang's biological warship could do it, but now neither the "Morning Star" nor Behemoth could appear here.
If it weren't for them, who would it be?
The same thought flashed through Clayston's mind: "Can it be the Supreme Council?"
Everyone knows that Burwell and the hybrid warship were killed by the Tang side. Duke Knar opposes the reformists and cannot guarantee that those who will not report to the Supreme Security Council and request new hybrid warships to come here to take revenge.
Steinbel's face became ugly. If it were really a mixed warship, without Tang's help, they would be like a lamb slaughtered.
"what to do?"
Before he could come up with a countermeasure, the curvature line on the indicator connected to the detector showed violent oscillation, accompanied by a short alarm sound.
On the other hand, silver light flashed on the No. 2 large screen, which had been synchronized with the corresponding optical cameras, and a spacecraft with a length of more than 800 meters jumped out of thin air, which was originally dark and deep.
In fact, it is a bit inappropriate to call it a spacecraft. It is more like a miniature space station. From a distance, it looks like a mottled and disabled octopus, because its tentacles vary in length and style.
If you look closely, you can find that those tentacles are not ship facilities, but spacecraft of different sizes. There are large shuttles, cargo ships, engineering ships, and unknown combat ships.
Especially in the core area, the gray-black armor surface was filled with sky blue light, which was very dazzling.
Steinbel did not exclaim at the unknown spacecraft like those young people. He focused all his attention on details and tried to find characteristics that match the V-00 phagocytose.
Then... he didn't find it.
The weirdly shaped spacecraft does not have all the signs of any hybrid warship on the surface.
That must not be the "Morning Star". Of course, it cannot be Behemoth, nor is it a hybrid warship. Who would that be?
Just as the small fleet patrolling outside the military port was about to turn around and some space-based unmanned defense platforms also switched their alert postures, the communications officer reported an emergency and requested access to the communications.
When Cleiston walked to the front of the No. 3 screen, the picture flashed, and Tang Fang's calm face appeared in front of everyone.
The atmosphere in the hall seemed to solidify. Perhaps it was more appropriate to describe it by stopping for a few seconds.
The depressing atmosphere came quickly and went quickly, and was distorted by the exclamations of young people. No one expected that Captain Tang's face would appear on the big screen. It was obviously not the "Morning Star". It was not Behemoth, and the "Serraine" stayed at the dock honestly. Why did he appear on the strange-shaped spaceship?
Are you changing the cannon of a bird gun?
Captain Tang’s flagship has actually been upgraded from a snail residence to a villa specification?
Steinbel was helpless. On the one hand, he was shocked by its warp speed ability, and on the other hand, he was speechless about the boy's surprise: "Where did you get such a spaceship?"
Tang Fang blinked: "I robbed it."
The flesh on Cleiston's face shivered and said in surprise: "Did you go to Georgia to save people? Or did you like someone else's warship?"
This kid has always been smart, but what he did in "Georgia" is surprising. Compared to Captain Tang's own city wall, he is more willing to accept the "going to the door to rob" under the banner of saving people", which is in line with the usual style of the little fox.
Tang Fang said: "This... really doesn't have it."
Cleiston said: "I don't believe it."
Steinbel said, "I don't believe it either."
Even the young officers showed a look of contempt, thinking that he was lying.
The core of the spacecraft with a weird shape is clearly the ruins of Ipsilon. The "Serraine" and "Angel of True" in Captain Tang are also the ruins of Ipsilon. God knows what method he used. In short, these things that should have been lying in a research institute for dismantling have all turned into important combat forces.
There is a 800-meter-long Ipsilon ruin on the other end of the display. It is normal to launch a war for such things. There is really no need to hide it. You have to lie to face your own people.
His massacre of the nobles was indeed a bit cruel, but when I think about how Surbaggio treated Meng Haoyu and Madol, most of the nobles deserved the crime.
Of course, it is always wrong to kill so many people, because there are too many hypocritical people in this world who like to stand on the moral high ground to condemn others, to establish prestige for themselves, or to create hot topics, seek personal interests, or even just to be happy for themselves.
Therefore, he must have a suitable excuse. For example, Bai Hao, Roy and the others fell into Tripati's hands, and their lives and death were unknown. In order to save his little brother, even if he was fighting to offend the fenceists, he would send troops to "Georgia".
When they contacted each other last time, they clearly saw Bai Hao, Roy and others talking and laughing. There was nothing wrong with it.
They understood why Captain Tang said so to the outside world, which was nothing more than a layer of emotional color for his robbery behavior, making people feel sympathetic and respectful, and minimizing the negative impact of the massacre.
He really doesn't need to lie when facing his own people. Really... all of them are Steinbel and Cleiston's confidants, most of whom are civilian officers from poor backgrounds. They hate the nobles deeply, and believe that those guys who squirt white and bloated bodies like maggots should be killed. They will only applaud and cheer for what he does. They will never feel disgusted with it.
So, he really doesn't have to hide it and openly admits how good the "robbery" is.
It is obviously a great pleasure to rob the nobles’ property and then kill all the vampires.
Steinbel asked: "What is the origin of this spacecraft? It is also the remains of Ipsilon?"
"Yes." A smug smile appeared on Tang Fang's lips: "'Angel', my new flagship... a mysterious military port can accommodate 12 medium-sized ships, 20 small ships, and a certain number of aerospace fighter jets. It is equipped with a starlight shield that is stronger than the Aurora Shield, and a warp speed level of up to 9.95."
"Hiss..." Every time he said something, a sound of air conditioning came from the equipment pool.
What these functions mean is that it will become an indestructible invincible fortress, stronger, faster and safer than the Morning Star. Having such a warship is the dream of every young man.
Too powerful, beyond imagination!
Everyone stared at the weird aircraft slowly approaching on the big screen of No. 2, and their shock and envy were intertwined with dull faces.
"I don't admit that you had planned it." Clayston said angrily: "The Angel of True... Seraph... Angel. I bet that you must have even thought of your name before you start."
A staff officer said: "I should have thought of it long ago, how could this guy be so stupid? He is simply a little fox."
A captain muttered, "I will rob you if I want me, even if I kill twice as many nobles."
"You really don't have to lie to us," Steinbel said. "Anyway, we'll stand on your side. What I hate most in my life are those guys who are used to morally kidnapping others, so... you really don't have to use that to block our mouths."
"Why don't you believe it? Why don't you believe it? I really went to save people..."
Tang Fang felt very wronged, really wronged, and there was also a deep sense of helplessness and melancholy.
To be honest, no one believes it. What's wrong with this world?
It was not that the world collapsed, but that such words came out of his mouth and no one believed them.
"Things have come to this point, are you still going to stick to those lies?" Cleiston said: "You sly kid, don't act in front of us old guys, okay?"
Tang Fang's lips squirmed a few times and sighed hard: "Okay, you won, I went to grab someone's spaceship."
Cleiston showed a look that you should have admitted it long ago.
Steinbel showed an expression that he knew his mistake could improve his mistake.
The others showed an expression that you kid was too underestimating our IQ.
So Captain Tang could only speak out.
Not only was he speechless, but Claya, Aros, Roy and others behind him were also speechless.
Hausen smiled with his stomach in his arms until he was cramped.
Bai Hao used dark particles to form a mask. He thought that when he covered his face, others would not know that he was smiling.
"This world...it's true that honest people can't survive." Captain Tang complained with a bitter face when he disconnected from the command center.
Claya said, "Don't worry, you will live a very nourishing life."
"What do you mean?"
"Are you an honest person?"
"Aren't I an honest person...what do you all look at me?"
……………………
The "Angel" was docked into a fully enclosed pier at Golding Military Port. Tang Fang, Claya and others came down from above and met with Steinbel and the others as soon as possible.
It was not until they saw Linglong and Yingluo and her two old guys believed that he was indeed telling the truth.
Of course, this is not the main topic. What should I do now?
Tang Fang's return gave them a reassurance, but when they thought of the sinister situation in the United Kingdom of Tulanx, they were still full of anxiety and didn't know how to turn the world around and get out of adversity.
Unfortunately, they did not get any useful information from Captain Tang, and Tang Fang finally asked.
"Do you want to play crazy?"
Steinbel accidentally bit his tongue, and his old face squeezed into a ball in pain.
Cleiston slipped out and walked under the chair. Only Lieutenant General Carter's quiet face rippled. He asked, "How to play?"
