Chapter 666 Cooperation
The confidential test project mentioned by Barbatos is most likely the plan of the Great Consul.
So Lu Yang continued to ask: "Aren't you the colonial governor sent directly to Yunhe City at the beginning? Don't you know what conspiracy the empire is doing?"
Barbatos just smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I was only responsible for managing the indigenous grassroots administrative staff back then. Even if the empire planned secret operations, it would not hand it over to us staff with low status. According to the situation we currently have, the empire's planning should have been interrupted by our rebellion before it made progress. It is for this reason that the empire will firmly suppress our rebellion."
"Didn't you just say that the Empire attacked you because it could not tolerate rebellion?"
Barbatos explained: "This is only one of the reasons. If Yunhe City is really worthless, the Empire mobilized a large number of space warships to forcefully break through the energy barrier of Yunhe City. It is impossible to destroy us traitors! Although the Empire has a very low tolerance for rebellion, this does not mean that the Empire Emperor is an idiot fool. He will never do such a stable and unprofitable business."
Lu Yang then asked, "Do you have any clues about the empire's conspiracy?"
Barbatos sighed and said, "We only know that in ancient Yunhe City there were terrifying physical experiments, but the level of confidentiality of this experiment is too high, so we have no right to know the details. But what should the imperial emperor know? The natives whom he controlled have been secretly unearthing the remains of various ancient laboratories for a long time. There are many ancient laboratories in Yunhe City, and we are far from fully mastered at present."
Seeing that the other party didn't know much, Lu Yang asked another thing: "You just mentioned that the current situation in Yunhe City is very serious. Did you find any clues?"
Barbatos answered honestly: "Although we don't know the specific conspiracy of the empire, we have been fighting with the empire for so many years, and we have penetrated into many undercover agents in the expelled barbarians. Recently, the activities of the expelled barbarians have suddenly become active. I originally thought they were cooperating with you to make trouble, but after catching a few interstellar adventurers, I realized that you alien visitors were probably being used by these indigenous people..."
Shen Changye's face suddenly became a little uneasy.
Babatos was right, they seemed to have been used as guns by the native named Bai Zhu.
Fortunately, they planned for a long time how to deal with the imperial forces. It turned out that the imperial forces were just around them to make suggestions!
"Feng Yan, over the ancient laboratory..."
Shen Changye subconsciously asked about Feng Yan’s situation in the ancient laboratory, but suddenly remembered that Feng Yan was dead, which made his face look even more ugly.
In the end, Lu Yang took the initiative to rescue the siege and said, "Captain Shen, hasn't the ancient laboratory responded yet?"
Shen Changye said helplessly: "Those interstellar adventurers made up their minds to be turtles, and they had already shut down all remote communications. Unless we run back the same way, we may not be able to contact them."
The wind god Barbatos also spread his hands and said, "Telection is prohibited in Yunhe City, and even legal citizens can only conduct emergency teleportation, otherwise I would have uprooted the natives of the expelled barbarians long ago."
Lu Yang couldn't help but frown and said, "But can you suddenly appear in front of us?"
Barbatos was obviously a little surprised at this question: "Of course my holographic projection would not be subject to such restrictions, it was just that it could not be projected into ancient laboratories."
Lu Yang knew that he was a little timid in this problem.
Fortunately, his ancient status as a great nobleman has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and neither Chen Changye nor Babatos thought much. He quickly changed the subject and said, "What else do you know about the conspiracy of the empire?"
Babatos did not doubt it and replied casually: "There are still a lot of indirect information. For example, Yunhe City Urban Management System detected that Yunhe City has experienced many abnormal energy reactions recently, which are related to the Yunhe Academy of Sciences above our heads. But when I wanted to query the detailed information, the system prompted me that my power was insufficient, and my elite indigenous investigators did not achieve any results."
Xiao Huang scratched his head and said, "Look at the ruins of the ancient Galaxy Federation, what can you do if you send me a mere indigenous people..."
Barbatos said seriously: "Don't underestimate these elite investigators of mine. They are all my carefully selected Lords of Honor in the Ancient, Honorary Citizens of Yunhe City, and descendants of scientists from Yunhe Academy of Sciences. The authority they have all-encompassing. As long as we find traces of ancient laboratories, we give me enough time, I can find the right holder to open it."
It sounds like this wind god Babatos really raises a group of easy-to-use "authority tool people"!
After complaining in his heart, Lu Yang continued to ask: "Is there anything else other abnormal?"
Barbatos said in a deep voice: "Aren't these abnormalities enough? In addition, the Fifth Fleet of the Empire suffered a crushing defeat inexplicably, and the main force of the joint fleet entered the star domain around Yunhe City. The conspiracy planned by the Empire is likely to have entered a critical stage!"
Lu Yang pointed to the space fleet in the distance and said, "Since you have discovered so many suspicious points, why don't you directly choose to cooperate with the Joint Fleet?"
Barbatos immediately asked back: "Do you think the United Fleet will trust us guys?"
Lu Yang was not familiar with the United Fleet and didn't know how to answer for a while. Fortunately, Shen Changye took the initiative to take the verb: "The Federation will definitely ask you to disarm immediately and accept the leadership of the Federation."
"That's all!" Barbatos shrugged helplessly and said, "We are in power in the seventh world and the empire for thousands of years, just to be the local emperor of Yunhe City. Why can we surrender when we first arrive? If the United Fleet wants to realize that we need equal dialogue, we must first show our own strength. Lord Lu Yang, I admit that I can't do anything to you, but you may be able to do anything to me!"
Lu Yang could not do anything to him, so he admitted without any psychological burden: "I really have no choice but to do anything to you."
After being recognized by the ancient nobles, Babatos couldn't help but feel a little proud: "But since the great nobles of the Skatiya family arrived in person, we can have a formal talk. With your noble status, you can speak even with Commander Weiyang of the United Fleet!"
Lu Yang didn't know any Commander Wei Yang at all, and his words were probably not as good as Chen Changye. But this did not prevent him from taking on a big deal: "Well, we both have a complete foundation for cooperation."
Lu Yang said this very terrible.
He just said that "the two sides have the basis of cooperation", but did not say that he could represent the Federation or the Scartier family. However, in the eyes of Barbatos and Shen Changye, he was obviously speaking as a representative of the federal high-level representative.
Although Barbatos seemed calm on the surface, he needed to be wary of the empire's conspiracy and also showed his strength to the joint fleet. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a sluggish person.
He is obviously very excited to see hope of quickly reaching cooperation with the Joint Fleet.
Before Lu Yang could say anything, he took the initiative to invite him: "Honor Lu Yang, it is not convenient to speak in the wilderness. You can go to Monstad to be a guest first, so let me take a break from the friendship of the landlord!"
