All the corps merged to form an extremely large fleet, escorting all the spacecraft of the Kunde people, heading towards the lighthouse star.
The densely packed battleships dragged the transition streamers, the formations were dense, and the tail flames set off each other, as if forming a moving sea of light, setting off bright waves in the dark universe.
The imperial battleships are mainly distributed in the periphery, and in the encirclement, there are tens of millions of Kunde spaceships carrying the entire population of the Kunde people.
All the weapons on the ship have been unloaded, the power of the energy core is limited to the minimum level to ensure the operation of the spacecraft, the thin shield is broken as soon as it is stabbed, the ship has lost all armed forces, and it has been completely taken over by the imperial soldiers. Transformed into a prison ship.
The main ship of the Kunde ethnic group has been transformed most thoroughly. The cabin has been transformed into a prison cell, and various facilities have been demolished. The mechanical style of the heavy industry has collapsed to a minimalist style. Basically, there are only load-bearing walls left.
The command hall has been taken over by imperial soldiers, and two remote projections suddenly appeared in the hall, it was Han Xiao and Tarrokov.
"See Commander-in-Chief."
As soon as the two went online, there was a neat salute from the imperial soldiers all around.
Han Xiao was a coincidence. The old tower just made a plan to inspect the prisoners today, and he had already sent a notice, and the soldiers on the ship were waiting to greet him.
The senior imperial officers who commanded the various legions were also present, all with their adjutants and gathered together using remote projection.
"Everyone has worked hard." Tarrokov smiled, nodded, and had a friendly attitude.
These young elite officers are the rising stars of the imperial military, and they will be the successors of their veterans in the future. Tarrokov is quite gratified to see that the empire is full of talents.
Han Xiao glanced at the officers present, and couldn't help shaking his eyebrows that were too much drama.
Whoops, they're all big names!
A group of future famous generals and military bosses stood in front of them waiting to be reviewed. It felt like a group of people who were hung in the Imperial Merit Exhibition Hall walked down from the portrait on the wall.
Because he knew the future identities of this group of people, Han Xiao felt that the scene in front of him was quite memorable, and he couldn't help but want to take a group photo.
"Your Excellency Black Star, you are here too."
Tenny was also among them, and he said hello, with a smile on his lips, obviously in a good mood.
"Meet again." Han Xiao nodded in greeting. Seeing all the officers looking over, he simply said loudly: "Congratulations to all of you for winning this war. It is an honor for the empire to have all of your outstanding military talents."
Scope-style py attack, the effect is not ordinary!
Black Star's identity is here. Although he is an ally, his light status is now higher than this group of young elite generals who have not yet reached the peak.
No one dislikes good words, and when they hear the praise of the boss, everyone has a py smile on their faces.
"Where, the information provided by Your Excellency Black Star is the cornerstone of victory. In terms of credit, you are the biggest."
"What we do is hard work, and the contribution of Your Excellency Black Star is the main reason why we easily won this war."
It was also indecent to come and go, and some people immediately blew each other's business, and of course there were also officers who were indifferent and taciturn, but just nodded in agreement.
Han Xiao responded with a smile, suddenly paused slightly, and locked his eyes on the adjutant beside an imperial general, who was Gothe with a subtle smile.
"Hey, you are..."
He squinted his eyes, looked at the man a little, and found that he had no impression.
Seeing this, Gothe smiled lightly and took the initiative to speak, "I have admired your name for a long time, Your Excellency Black Star."
"Get to know, this is Gothe, one of the power users trained by the empire. I heard that he survived the self-destruction of primitive nether energy, which is very good." Tarrokov smiled and introduced to Han Xiao.
"Hello, Gothe."
Hearing this, Han Xiao said hello casually, secretly entered the field of quantum network, opened the internal interface of the empire, logged in to his account, and inquired about Gothe's information registered with the imperial military.
It is a habit for him to check a person's details when they meet.
With his authority, it is no problem to query the basic information of some members of the empire.
The next second, Gothe's information popped up on the screen in the brain. Han Xiao browsed it and saw that Gothe's innocent service history was recorded on it, and it seemed that there was no problem.
He swiped down, just as he was about to see more detailed information, a warning about insufficient permissions popped up on the interface.
"Can't see it? It seems that he is quite valued."
Han Xiao would not be free to hack the empire's network to cause dissatisfaction among the high-level officials. He turned off the interface and began to think.
The old tower said that Gothe was on the list of power users that were mainly cultivated? With the size of the empire, the key training goal is basically to go to Transcendent A Grade seeds or even Transcendent A Grade. There are two types of power users that are cultivated. One is special ability, and the other is outstanding potential. It is a natural disaster grade and can survive in the primitive nether energy, so there is a huge gap in the hearts of every Kunde civilian.
After inspecting the civilians, the two came to the area where the high-level people were held alone, stood outside the interrogation room of the Kunde leader, and observed each other through the one-sided window.
Although he was reduced to a prisoner, the leader of the Kunde tribe was sitting upright and still maintained his bearing. He stayed in the interrogation room alone, closing his eyes and resting.
"When you ask questions, I'll just go in and listen." After glancing at the Kunde leader, Han Xiao turned his head and said to the old tower.
It was Lao Pagoda who presided over the interrogation. He just came to visit, and 80% of the Kunde leaders did not know him.
Tarrokov nodded, expressing no opinion, and pouted towards the soldier beside him.
"Open the door."
…
In the interrogation room, the Kunde leader sat upright in his seat, trying his best to sit up straight.
He is not as calm on the surface, but he must pretend to be calm. In his eyes, he represents the last dignity of the Kunde people.
"brush"
The door slid open, and the Kunde leader heard the sound, opened his eyes, and saw two figures walking in.
One was the enemy commander Tarrokov he had seen before, and the other was extremely unfamiliar. He was wearing a complex and gorgeous black trench coat with gold patterns. The way of wearing this dress looked like a big man, and he didn't know what it was. .
"This is the second time we have met." Tarrokov quickly entered the state, with a straight face, and said lightly: "We have fulfilled our promise and did not carry out massacres, you must tell everything you know now. I, including your thoughts and logic when making decisions, and the reasons for attacking us, will tell you all the reasons and consequences. Remember, your answer will affect our attitude towards you. It is best not to deceive, or you will not regret it. it's me."
Virtual technology can steal the intelligence of the other party, but there is no way to know the judgment process and thoughts of others. This is the focus of today's interrogation.
The Kunde leader knew that this would happen sooner or later, and did not dare to have the intention of concealing it, and at the same time there was no meaning of concealment. With a heavy heart, he explained the matter over and over again.
Listening to the other party's story, Tarrokov entered the report from time to time. Han Xiao came over to take a look and saw several such as "Xenophobia", "Indigenous Arrogance", "Vengeful Culture", "Coexistence Discomfort" sex" term.
Not good words... He blinked.
This interrogation report is likely to affect the empire's final solution to the Kunde people, and these words are undoubtedly dangerous.
After a while, the Kunde leader finally came to the end:
"… Your arrival has taken away our development space, so we would rather find a new home that will not be disturbed than live with you. This will only allow us to experience long-term, passive competition and the development of civilization. The prospects are limited."
Hearing this, Tarrokov nodded, too lazy to hide, "You are right, we will never allow you to rise."
Few civilizations are saints. The Scarlet Empire developed Glittering World, of course, not with the idea of benefiting all living beings. There is no plan to let the natives rise. The maximum kindness is just to leave some space and allow the other party to continue to survive. .
For most of the backward indigenous people, it is not a bad thing. The three major civilizations use the interstellar society to assimilate them, which is equivalent to giving them advanced enlightenment education. For the Kunde people, who have a certain scale, have begun to pioneer the interstellar civilization. In other words, it was an outright disaster.
The three major civilizations are not interested in cultivating more stinky younger brothers who covet their dominance, which will inevitably restrain the development of higher indigenous civilizations.
From the bottom of my heart, the Scarlet Empire actually doesn't hate the Kunde people's initiative to fight, just using force to conquer the opponent's civilization, justifiably.
"But..." Tarrokov's conversation changed, "By now, you must have understood that the crashed spacecraft you got was provided by some of our opponents, the purpose is to use you as gunmen and use you against us.
Their information contains real technology to enhance your military power, but the technology is true, but the information about the empire is a bunch of lies. He did not tell you what level of strength the Scarlet Empire has. Let you mistakenly think that there is a fighting force.
The falling spaceship is a poisoned fruit, and under the sweetness of advanced technology, there are deadly toxins hidden.
Therefore, in your opinion, acquiring technologies such as nether energy, transition, star gate, etc., is equivalent to filling up most of the gap between the strengths of the two sides. You think that you have obtained the same weapons as us, just like an ancient and a modern man fighting with a cold weapon in their hands. Although the era is different, the outcome of the fight is still uncertain, but the fact is that the weapons in our hands Weapons are several iterations past yours, like you're still wielding a sword, we've shoveled you and the planet with a star destroyer.
As you can see, we originally had the possibility of coexisting peacefully. Although you will lose room for improvement, you can at least ensure the independence of civilization. Compromise is sometimes a good choice. "
Hearing this, the Kunde leader shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"Watching the road ahead is blocked but indifferent, that's not what we Kunde people do, we would rather give it a shot."
"Well said, a civilization without ambition has no future. I understand you. It is really unwilling to give up your homeland."
Tarrokov did not object, but nodded in appreciation, then slowed down his tone and shook his head: "It's just that your only mistake is to choose the wrong opponent."
The Kunde leader lowered his head.
He didn't regret his decision, and his heart was still full of resentment.
However, what he hated most at this time was not the Scarlet Empire, but the mastermind who used the Kunde people as spearmen!
In his eyes, that was the root cause of their family!
"Okay, let's go here, thank you for your cooperation."
At this time, Tarrokov stood up, summoned Han Xiao, and prepared to leave the interrogation room.
"Wait a minute!"
The Kunde leader suddenly spoke with a low tone:
"You won't actually kill us, but plan to keep us in captivity, right?"
"Well, there is such a possibility... However, we will not resort to your physical means of intellectual castration. At most, we will start from the cultural aspect."
The Kunde leader understood and took a deep breath, "So... I must die, right?"
Tarrokov paused, did not choose to hide, nodded and said: "You are a symbol for people to vent their anger, a target for people to spurn, a lesson left in history, and a useful propaganda. tool."
Han Xiao shook his head.
These people speak in clouds and mountains, but fortunately he understands them.
If the empire chooses cultural transformation, it needs to choose a puppet to lead the Kunde people, and the candidate for the puppet will never be the Kunde leader.
The role of this guy is to be used as a marionette by the empire to perform a grand pot-throwing ceremony.
And the scene will end with his execution.
"I understand that wrongs need to be carried by one person, and I don't care whether I leave infamy or not." The Kunde leader has already given up his mind, "I can fully cooperate with you in this play, but I have two requests... No need to do that. Looking at me, I know that I am not qualified to make conditions, but I can only tell you, you can take this as my last wish."
"...Then tell me."
"First, we have surrendered, it doesn't matter if you kill me, but I hope other compatriots can be properly settled and no more lives will be killed, and second..."
The tone of the Kunde leader suddenly became hideous, "I want to pay the price for those who use us behind the scenes!"
When the voice fell, Tarrokov was indifferent, as if he didn't hear it, he turned around and left.
Seeing this, the Kunde leader silently bowed his head.
He knew in his heart that the other party would not accept his request, but today may be the last chance to speak, and he has no choice.
At this moment, a black figure suddenly appeared in his lowered vision.
The Kunde leader looked up and saw that the man in black who had been silent after entering the door, who didn't know the details, walked in front of him, looking down at him condescendingly.
Before he could wonder, what he heard next made him almost jump up in shock, suspecting that something was wrong with his ears.
"I accepted your request."
"!!"
The Kunde leader was stunned.
Tarrokov stopped in his footsteps, turned his head suddenly, and a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
Han Xiao looked calm and continued:
"I will report to the empire that I will place your clan on my site and take care of it as much as possible. It is not difficult to make the mastermind behind the scenes pay the price."
He has a style of doing nothing and not getting too early. Just when the Kunde leader made his last wish, a new task popped up on the panel, which he guessed.
The moment he saw the requirements and rewards, Han Xiao decided to take this quest!
"who are you?!"
Hearing these words, the Kunde leader finally couldn't help but ask Han Xiao's details.
"You can call me Black Star, as for who I am... Well, my title is relatively long, and I guess you don't understand what it means, so, you only need to know one thing is enough... "
Han Xiao smiled slightly.
"I alone can overturn your entire civilization."
