After listening to Lin Luo's narration, Xing Mo couldn't help but feel lingering fear. They were really a little bit close to dying together. If Nelson hadn't intentionally dropped a negative ion energy transmitter and created a wormhole to randomly teleport him and Lin Luo to the Federation, they might have died from lack of oxygen before reinforcements arrived. If they were teleported, but did not happen to meet this starship, or if the owner of this starship refused to save them, they would surely die as well.
It can only be said that their luck is not bad, and their lives should not die.
"The owner of this starship, have you seen it?" Anyway, the owner of this starship has saved their lives, and they must thank them in person.
"I've seen it!" Lin Luo nodded vigorously, her big beautiful eyes were slightly bent, and she said deliberately like a trick, "You can't guess who it is!"
Xing Mo: ...
"Andre?" The Vermi star is located on the border of the empire, and beyond the border is the Federation.
If Andre had set off like them last night, it would be about this time to leave the empire and return to the federation.
Lin Luo's face collapsed all of a sudden, and he muttered softly, "How do you know?"
"Of course it's because the only federal person you know is Andre..."
Lin Luo who couldn't refute: ...
"Haha." Xing Mo patted Lin Luo's head amusedly, then softened his voice, "Let's go thank Andre."
"good!"
"Do you have a way to contact Andre?" It's not good to walk around in other people's starships. It's best to contact Andre first, and then make a request to meet.
Lin Luo shook his head. Their optical brains could not connect to the star network within the federal territory, so they could not directly contact Andre.
"Then how did you meet him before?"
"He came to see me..." Lin Luo scratched his head in embarrassment, "He came over after we were rescued, but he said that if there is anything, we can go directly to the main control room to find him. "
Xing Mo nodded, and since Andre allowed them to find him, the two left the cabin together and walked towards the main control room.
As soon as he entered the passage, Xing Mo had already recognized the model of the starship. This is a light private starship of the SC series. It is very expensive to build. It is larger than the GX warship. It can carry more than a hundred people. It does not feel bumpy at all during the extremely fast flight. The passage is also very spacious and it is very convenient to move around. And it is equipped with four arrays of heavy weapons and two embedded mech pods. Whether it is for combat or regular use, its performance is absolutely top-notch.
Such a starship is more than enough for war, so it is definitely not something that can be obtained just by having money. He remembered that Andre had said before that he had his own fleet. After seeing this expensive starship, he couldn't help guessing Andre's identity. He felt that Andre was more than just a Ordinary wool merchant.
The cabin where they rest is located at the tail of the starship. On the way, they met a crew member of the starship. The man did not intend to stop Lin Luo and the others, but after turning on the translator, he kindly reminded, "Two distinguished Guest, the starship is speeding up, and it is about to make a space transition, it is best for the two of you to wait until the transition is over before looking for Your Excellency Andre."
Andre has already explained to the entire Starship crew that Lin Luo and Xing Mo are his distinguished guests, so the staff treats them very well.
Lin Luo and Xing Mo didn't insist any longer, and when they were about to return to the cabin, suddenly the entire starship shook violently.
"Beep beep—" the ear-piercing siren sounded instantly.
"No, it's an enemy attack!" The crew member suddenly changed his face, and he didn't care about Xing Mo and Lin Luo, and hurriedly ran towards the bridge.
The bridge is the nerve center of a starship. The inner area of the bridge mainly concentrates on the steering, combat information center, telecommunications, confidentiality, navigation room, intelligence room, and the captain's main control room, etc.
Xing Mo and Lin Luo hesitated for a moment, then followed.
The interior of the bridge was in chaos at this moment. They were about to make the last transition just now. As long as the transition was successful, they would be able to return to their home planet.
However, just as they were about to open the transition channel, a mecha suddenly appeared from nowhere and attacked them.
"Open the shield!"
"All forts are ready!"
"Lock attack!"
A series of orders have been issued, and the starship has already begun to counterattack.
From the large screen in the center of the bridge, you can see the clear images of the mechas attacking the starships. Xing Mo recognized the emblems on these mechas at a glance, which are exactly the same as the emblems of the interstellar pirates who attacked them before.
"Brother...it seems to be an interstellar pirate again! Could it be that they found us hiding on Andre's starship?" Lin Luo looked at Xing Mo worriedly.
Xing Mo's face is also serious. If Andre is dragged down because of their relationship, how can they be happy
The previous crew member noticed them and immediately came over to stop them, "Sorry, you can't come in here..."
Although they are His Excellency Andre's guests, they can come to see His Excellency Andre during non-wartime, but the bridge is an extremely important place in wartime, and he cannot let them in without His Excellency Andre's approval. of.
"Sorry, we..." Xing Mo knew this very well, and when he was about to apologize and leave, he suddenly heard a deep and deep voice.
"Rich, let them in."
The crew member named Rich immediately changed his attitude, and bowed respectfully, "I'm sorry, two distinguished guests, Your Excellency Andre, please come in."
What Andre said just now was through the intercom device, without using a translator, and they were finally able to hear his original voice.
Under the leadership of Rich, the two crossed the bridge and came to the main control room where the captain was, and Andre was waiting in it.
"I'm very sorry that this happened suddenly, but I will deal with the mess as soon as possible." Andre said to them using a translator, and his voice became that weird electronic sound again.
"No... It's us who should say sorry, those star thieves are probably targeting us."
Andre shook his head with a smile, and said with certainty, "No, this time they really came after me."
The federation is a federal state, a type of compound state, also known as a union state, a federal republic constitutional state composed of hundreds of small countries, equivalent to the United States in the ancient earth era.
Although the federation is led by a head of state, the confederations under it have greater autonomy, including legislative power.
And Andre is a grand duke with a very high status in one of the allied countries of the Federation. He is not only rich, but also powerful, and even the head of the Federation wants to give him some face.
Although the allied country where Andre is in is not big, it is rich in mineral resources. He himself has three resource stars, and he came to the empire this time to promote his new mineral veins, that is, those carbonized wool.
But maybe it's because the tree is so big that these star thieves took advantage of his low-key visit to the empire to attack him suddenly.
The Star Bandits suddenly appeared near the Wilmi star before, not to bet on the stone fair, but to attack him, otherwise they wouldn't have waited until the fair ended before making a move.
Fortunately, as a person with an important position in the federation, Andre communicated privately with the imperial army when he went to the empire, so the empire secretly increased its troops and closely monitored Vermi star. After discovering the traces of the star thief, he was sent to remind him, hoping that he could pay attention to safety.
After all, he is not from the empire. If any accident happened in the empire, the nature would be completely different.
After the Star Thief launched an attack, Andre left Wilmy immediately with the help of the prepared army.
After listening to Andre's narration, Xing Mo thought of the information he got when he fought against the Star Thief, and finally understood the ins and outs.
Those star thieves probably didn't attack Andre for money, but were hired by others. Fatty Ma who appeared on the star thief battleship is the best proof.
Those star thieves suddenly split a force to attack their civil aviation shuttle, probably because Fatty Ma wanted to get the piece of glass town purple and gold double-color emerald from Lin Luo. And when Nelson was on the phone with him, he once leaked a sentence, which seemed to be very afraid of the people behind Fatty Ma...
Andre frowned slightly after hearing Xing Mo's words. If these star thieves were not purely for money, but were employed by certain people, then the identity of the people behind them would be interesting.
It will take a lot of trouble to use star robbers to attack the empire, obviously trying to disguise it as an accident of robbery... The purpose of doing this is nothing more than... to clear yourself of suspicion...
After all, Andre's identity is unusual. Once something happens, the Federation will definitely send people to conduct a detailed investigation. If something is found out, it will definitely affect the people behind the scenes.
But if this incident happened in the empire, then it would be difficult for the federation to intervene in the investigation, and the people of the empire can only characterize this incident as seeking money without evidence. After all, star thieves are notorious, so There is never less to do.
"Oh, I probably guessed who was playing tricks." Andre sneered, then looked at Lin Luo and Xing Mo apologetically, "It seems that I have dragged you down, and when I return to Aux Star, I will do it for you Book the fastest boat back to the Empire."
"OK, thanks."
