Chapter 1584: Full of evil spirits
The leader of the surrendered troll psyker, who claimed to be "Kaido Silver Fang", answered with a frank and even innocent attitude: "We are members of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mercenary Group, and we have led a certain We were rewarded by some big shots and came here to attack President Nishita. Of course, we acted as assists and became the main attacker. It was just a coincidence and it was really not our subjective intention.”
He said with an innocent face: "Look, I also told everyone to put down their weapons. In fact, as long as we kill President Nishita, we will have completed the mission. We really don't want the matter to get out of hand."
Colonel Myron, who was in charge of the inquiry, couldn't help but became furious, saying that he had never heard of the Wangui mercenaries from this family, nor had he heard of the mercenaries driving the Marauder warship. You plunderers are starting to talk, you are really not an ordinary plunderer, so you should hit hard.
Kaido Dayinga didn't seem to see the opponent's furious reaction, and still said at his own pace: "By the way, you just asked about the main attack and assists, right?"
I didn't ask that. It sounds like nonsense! Just as Colonel Myron was about to say this, the troll continued: "Some of us are indeed hired by big shots to help. Really, the real main force should be 'Ghost Eyes' Ludd and his men."
Yang Mingzhao's only thought suddenly dawned on him: "Oh, could it be that master of the Spiral Cross Nebula who is number one in spiritual power, swordsmanship, and technique?"
He had heard the elders of his sect talk about this great pirate king. Tantai Jing repeatedly expressed to him that this person is a rare saint in the world of black (meow) Taoism. He is very dangerous and should not be provoked by the third generation disciples. However, after all, this is discussed from the perspective of a warrior.
But in fact, this person does have strong brute strength, but in the "Snake Killing Battle", he has no sense of existence like an appetizer.
"Actually, I've heard about this too...but he was obviously killed by us during the snake-killing operation!" Colonel Myron nodded belatedly.
"His pirate group was killed, but he escaped. So, he summoned this attack?" Although Yang Mingzhao said this, this possibility is almost non-existent. A psyker who became a saint in the world of the underworld, with such organizational, charisma and planning power, how could he still be a top-notch pirate?
How could it be possible to do such an abstract thing as first escaping to provoke the Three Kingdoms United Fleet in the "Snake Killing Battle", and then being sent away by a barrage of artillery fire from the alliance?
"Yes, that is the idol of our black (meow) world! He can win such a big family fortune with just one punch and one sword. He is definitely the best brother Zheshe in the whole universe! All the brothers in the Tao obey him! Since he If you want revenge, there are still many people who are willing to follow.”
"Revenge? Revenge against President Nikita?"
The other person nodded.
"Because the Blue Star Community participated in the snake-killing operation to eliminate him?"
The other party continued to nod: "At least, that's what I heard from Brother Lude."
Yang Mingzhao was amused: "It was the Alliance fleet that wiped out his tribe, and strictly speaking, it was he who came to provoke him first, and then was attacked by the Alliance fleet. At most, our fleet could only make up for it."
< br>
Da Yingya sighed: "I think so too. However, this master, hatred can make people distorted. Who among the public can really break through this? Brother Lude is a person with a fierce temperament, probably I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
"So, where's that Ludd?"
"He and I are on the same ship. In the shelling just now, the cabin he was in was penetrated by your cannon!" the troll said.
"..."
Kaido Dayinga blinked his eyes as big as broad beans and nodded vigorously.
Colonel Myron had already picked up an impact hammer from the side and swung it with gritted teeth, but after all, he did not hit the troll, but only broke the floor next to it.
Yang Mingzhao on the side used his spiritual energy to deflect the opponent's landing point. Of course, it is also possible that the colonel deliberately asked the other party to do this.
However, even so, the Myshandar troll was frightened.
He couldn't help but show an innocent expression, raised his hands and tried to explain: "I swear to the spirit of the universe, and I promise to the big mouth god of my tribe, everything I said is true! It is indeed true... Hey, hey, saint He also died under the fire of the battleship's main gun. What's so surprising about this? Moreover, Brother Lude's injuries never healed. I think it was the same for such a fierce man. Seek benevolence and gain benevolence.”
It's true that benevolence is rewarded, and it is indeed powerful! And it's very logical. Yes, who says that saints cannot perish in war? Not to mention anything else, there are already a number of saint-level knight captains under my uncle's command, right? General Yang in the New World across the way even elects an emperor. However, how many people died under the attack?
However, Yang Mingzhao always felt that the whole thing was more like a ridiculous farce.
Colonel Myron picked up a new warhammer and gritted his teeth: "...In other words, your employer is gone, but you are still continuing to perform tasks? Oh, I must be such a dedicated mercenary like you. Very famous.”
Kaido Dayinga showed a helpless look, and explained seriously with a "forced patience" expression: "I have said it many times just now, another master hired us to help." Ghost Brother Eye Ludd is not an employer.”
So that’s it, that “Ghost Eye” Ludd is also a tool man? This is more logical.
The troll added: "Besides, we are black Taoists after all. In the underground world, especially in the Abyss Nebula, we are still very famous. Many big guys need us to do the cleanup work. Reputation is very important. ”
Then, he looked at the expressionless Yang Mingzhao, and then at the furious Colonel Myron, with a puzzled expression: "No way? You don't think that only those directories are written in various government archives. Are those mercenaries real? Sir, the world is a big place. Although we don’t pay taxes to the government, we are also serious businessmen who work for money. Who can say that we are not serious mercenaries? Soldier? ”
Yang Mingzhao nodded: "Indeed, you look so humane and sophisticated, you do look like a serious mercenary."
After all, as a mercenary profession, you are still a businessman in the final analysis.
"Master..." Colonel Myron put down his war hammer helplessly.
The troll probably thought that Yang Mingzhao was also a decent person, so he immediately opened his mouth, revealing his steel teeth that shone with brilliant silver light: "Well, your master seems to be a luxurious person, so we won't hide it. You. In fact, we are just here to do the hard work. It must be said that the mercenaries are a little bit generous. Let’s just say that they are a group of thugs who specialize in serving big shots.”
Yang Mingzhao, who was watching the interrogation process, was amazed. Generally speaking, those guys who frankly admit that they are the evil party and are proud of the evil party are not ordinary bad people, and they may not be able to deal with it even if they are hit hard. These attackers may be more difficult to deal with than I thought,
"Haha, what a group of thugs, but they are using a predator's ship. You are really well-equipped!" Colonel Myron sneered.
"Strictly speaking, the ship is actually provided by the big shot who hired us, the middleman. There is actually a passage between the Abyss Nebula and the Galactic Center, and some big guys there like to collect Predator ships. This way If you do bad things, you can put the blame on others.”
"Don't evade the easy matter, aren't you a predator?" Colonel Myron said loudly.
"Who said I was a plunderer? Oh, how long are we going to struggle with this issue? Do I have to be a plunderer because I am a Myshandar? Mr. Captain, Mr. Colonel, you are a typical stereotype! I You are allowed to call me a terrorist, but I cannot accept this despicable racial discrimination." The troll showed an innocent expression. Yang Mingzhao looked at this polite but still unruly troll, and said with interest: "You are very frank. Aren't you worried about your situation at all?"
The troll grinned widely, his smile still magnanimous, unrestrained and even unruly: "Every time we take action, the settlement allowance is enough. Anyway, I was born to be a gladiator, fighting in hell and living. Just living, Just try your best La! However, an adult told me that my courage can actually live for myself, and I can live in a different way. So, I beat all the gentlemen in the gladiator camp to death. Happiness!”
"Is there an adult?" Yang Mingzhao frowned slightly. He felt that this person's identity might be the most important thing. But it was obvious that the other party did not want to continue this topic.
"I never thought that an embryo-killer like me would one day have a family of my own, with a living wife and children. That would naturally be double happiness. It was such a dreamy and happy time! My master, my life is actually much better than that of my compatriots who are still in the galaxy, so when we take on this task, we will treat it as if our lifespan is up.”
Yang Mingzhao looked directly into the opponent's dim yellow eyes, but showed no sign of flinching or hesitation. This guy doesn't look like a warrior, but more like a monk who is optimistic and knowledgeable about fate.
However, if he is really a so-called monk, why can he talk about happiness and a family with wife and children?
"So, where are those Alliance warships? Where's the Neutron Star?" Colonel Myron couldn't help but roar.
"I don't know! This is actually the first time we have met." The troll's expression was still innocent, even with a bit of wild innocence and innocence.
Colonel Myron felt that he should really chop off this guy's head before talking about it.
Anyway, with the vitality of the Myshandar troll race, even if a big head is cut off, it can grow back, right?
"We really don't know. It's just that the introducer told us that someone will help us at a critical moment. As for why the cooperation is so good... Sir, and this colonel, you don't think that the ship is ours. Human?”
Yang Mingzhao secretly said, "Sure enough."
Colonel Myron asked doubtfully: "What do you mean?"
"We were on the ship for more than two weeks and never met a crew member."
"Those Predator battleships are fully automatic?" Colonel Myron understood immediately, but still slammed the table: "Troll! Don't lie to me! How could the Predator have such technology!"
"We are really not predators..."
"That's not the point!"
There is certainly no shortage of autonomous aircraft in space. Drones that serve as wingmen for manned fighters, automatic mining machines and transport aircraft in the interstellar space, and even floating turrets in space are among them.
However, there is no such thing as full automation for an interstellar ship that can make super-light jumps. Even small and medium-sized cargo ships and yachts with minimal operational requirements must maintain a considerable number of crew members.
In the public opinion, this is of course due to the insufficient level of automation and AI technology.
In the "Battle of Conviction" in the New World, the coalition forces that attacked Tomitelli did encounter automatic combat spacecraft that could jump, but it was later determined that these were ancient creations of the Enlightened Ones.
However, this is not information that ordinary people can know.
In Colonel Myron's knowledge, autonomous aircraft cannot jump. This is also the perception of most people.
"...I don't understand what kind of technology this is. However, I am certain that we only jumped once. And then there was the battle?" said the troll.
"Jumped once?"
"Yes. We took a smuggling ship and arrived at the nearby Red Bear W system 15 days ago. At that time, the ship was already waiting for us here. Of course, you said they were predator spaceships, but I think they are more like It’s a one-time big bump.”
Subsequently, the attackers, namely "Ghost Eyes" Ludd and his helpers, waited for half a month on these disposable automatic aircraft disguised as predator battleships, waiting until the Azure Princess passed by before launching their attack. A surprise attack.
During the charge, the largest "Predator Battleship" came under concentrated fire from the escorting battleships, and "Ghost Eye" Ludd was evaporated to death by the main cannon. Everyone knows what happened next.
Yang Mingzhao felt that this situation was probably more serious than imagined. The attackers were hiding on the ship. As long as they remained silent, it was indeed difficult to be spotted by passing ships, which can be explained. However, the question arises. The Grand Open Sea Star Territory is so large, how can we ensure that the Azure Princess will just pass by nearby?
Is there a mole on board the envoy ship? And it’s still the command level that can decide the ship’s route! Yang Mingzhao frowned. He was 80% sure of this conjecture, but it was just a guess at the moment.
However, the troll psyker was very cooperative and seemed to know everything.
On the other side, the questioning of the remaining prisoners of war is indeed proceeding intensively.
Someone discovered the cadres of the "Ghost Eyes Pirates" among the prisoners of war. They were gangsters on the wanted list. From his words, everyone also confirmed that the death of "Ghost-Eyed Ludd" was consistent with what the troll said.
As for the other attackers, they came from five different illegal armed groups. They were all veteran war dogs that had been operating in the war-torn star area all year round. They were the type with rich war experience and good reputations on the road.
Of course, we also know that the better the reputation of a mercenary organization in the underworld, the faster the employer will change. Their organization and personal relationships are really too complicated.
Then, the key question should be the true identity of the "big man" who hired them.
But the problem is that mercenaries all get their jobs from brokers who jump between black and white, so it is naturally impossible to know the identity of their real employer. This is actually the way the Black (Meow) Road has always been.
I still want to investigate in more detail, but it is a huge system project. This is not a job you can do on the Celeste Princess.
Therefore, Yang Mingzhao could only report the situation to the earth as the president's secretary. I hope that Chairman of the National Defense Commission Maxell and Chairman of the Internal Affairs Commission Shona can direct the national intelligence agencies to find out something.
