Interstellar octopus cute

Chapter 49

"All out?"

"That's right, all the ones who didn't leave have gone on a trip. Now you are the only seedling on the central star, and you can go on a trip too. I asked your mother to pack the luggage for you."

Lan Xiao frowned, feeling something was wrong.

"The alliance is in deep water now. Although you are not interested in operating forces, the rest of you are not like that. Needless to say, you should have heard the wind."

Lan Xiao didn't respond, but knowing a son is like a father, his silence gave Lan's father the best answer.

"Now that you've heard it, you should know that at this stall, whoever encounters this matter will be unlucky. What the internal army wants now is to take the place of the dead ghost."

Having said that, Papa Lan gave a cold smile and took a sip of tea.

"You don't understand the current situation. Over the years, because of the Zerg race, you basically have some ideas and ambitions. Those who can pass the medical examination line have gone to serve in the army. Look at your sister, she was admitted to the military academy by begging for nothing. , The border screening is strict, and the rest of them basically entered the internal army. After so many years of accumulation, the internal army is no longer the simple defensive army that it used to be. The words of the three generals are now more powerful than anyone else."

Hey, this can be regarded as the aftermath of the war.

Regarding the mechanism of the military department within the alliance, there is a clear distinction between the internal and external armies. Originally, it was thought that they could check and balance each other.

But it’s too late to understand these things now. The cabinet participates in politics but not the army, and foreign troops guard the frontier without interfering with the inside. Today’s internal army has become a fierce tiger ready to go. Without the Goshawk who can compete with it, the current alliance, the internal army has faintly dominated, and even in the past two years, they have even looked down upon the cabinet.

"There are traitors in the alliance."

Lan Xiao's tone was firm, and Lan's father said calmly, "I know."

The water is so clear that there are no fish, no matter what age or situation, the profession of traitor will always be unbroken, whether it is power, or wealth, or for the safety of life, in short, various reasons emerge in endlessly.

It can be said that if there is no traitor in any place, it is an incomplete family and country.

"It's high-level."

Papa Lan choked on a mouthful of tea and coughed for a long time before calming down.

"What's the reason?"

"On the way back from Azure Star, I ran into the Rose Star Bandit."

Lan Zi paused, Lan Xiao really never said this, "Then?"

Lan Xiao's eyes were full of coldness, "He came here to say hello to me."

Originally, according to the normal situation, Lan Xiao should have no intersection with these star thieves, but the rose star thieves are an exception.

The Rose Star Pirates are the largest interstellar pirates in the current cosmic sea of ​​stars. The first quadrant is their main active area. The heroic Lan Xiao, who was born at the beginning of the year, mercilessly wiped out most of them, leaving a few remnants who fled. Because the border war was anxiously waiting for the handover, he did not pursue these fleeing ones, but Liang Zi on both sides did. It's officially over.

In the following years, the Rose Star Pirates and the Third Legion also had dozens of confrontations. Although both sides had casualties, it was obvious that the former suffered a greater loss. Therefore, in the next three or four years, just It stopped.

But the cessation is the cessation, the blood feud is still there, and the heart that wants to kill Lan Xiao is still bright red.

The Rose Star Pirates were able to appear in such a timely manner before, and accurately intercepted a garbage transport ship, it was obvious that someone had leaked his whereabouts.

"The news of my disappearance was first reported by the orcs."

He collected advanced materials and was led to the wrong place. Those Zergs would explode when they met each other. It was so fast that there was no time for people to tell whether they were real Zergs. How could there be such a coincidence in the world.

"Beast race..."

Papa Lan frowned, obviously not aware of this episode, "Do you have someone to suspect?"

Lan Xiao shook her head.

Papa Lan took a deep breath, put down the teacup in his hand, and looked cold.

Hearing this, he finally understood why Lan Xiao was so sure that the traitor was a high-level person.

Being able to be intercepted so accurately by the Star Thief meant that there were some people's eyeliner in the place where he stayed before, and of course it could not be ruled out that it was the eyeliner placed by the Star Thief.

If it cannot be confirmed that this is a high-level problem, then one or two can be inferred from the premeditated ambush before.

When the news of Lan Xiao's disappearance was ambushed, it was very fast when it spread in the alliance. They also searched for the source of the spread, but there was no response.

There are only two possibilities in this situation, one; the source is dead.[-]. I was stopped by some people who used power for personal gain.

At that time, everyone was worried about Lan Xiao's life and death, and there was no continuous investigation into the source of the news, which happened to take advantage of some people's hearts.

But now that Lan Xiao said that the source is the beast race, then the second possibility is very clear.

The second quadrant where Lan Xiao went was not adjacent to the orcs. Some Zergs might understand it, but it would be too much for a southern hemisphere to be the first to know about the northern hemisphere.

Since they are the orcs, it is certain that they participated in this premeditated ambush. As for whether they came in person or provided a plan, it does not matter. The important thing is to know Lan Xiao's itinerary and prepare the trap just right. There is no cooperation between the inside and the outside. , is impossible to do.

Knowing that Lan Xiao was going to the second quadrant, there were four people in total, Father Lan, Xingchen helmsman Zuo Lang, captain of the first escort ship Lan Yan, and captain of the second ship Song Zifei.

Except for Lan's father, the other three were brought out by Lan Xiao himself, and they were all lacking in rights and money, so Lan Xiao couldn't think of a reason why they would betray.

The only possibility might be that there is no other choice, and when there is no other choice, there must be someone more powerful than him standing behind him.

Papa Lan also thought of this and couldn't help sighing.

In recent years, the orcs and the human races have been at odds, and there are constant frictions between the borders of the two, but these are not big problems compared to the real enemy-the Zergs. The orcs are also clear about this, so the struggle cannot Stop, but nothing really went wrong.

As for star robbers, this profession has existed almost since human immigration, but their main threat is still aimed at interstellar merchants. With the border zerg raging, no one has the energy to eliminate this group of cunning star robbers. .

The main reason why this incident happened like this is that the star thieves began to attack humans inexplicably, no matter if it was a commercial transport ship or an ordinary cruiser, or even a garbage transport ship. They seem to be more inclined to kill.

As for the orcs, they don't know what's going on. Humans are temporarily free from the troubles of the Zergs. It is reasonable to say that their border should still be anxious, but they have spent a lot of energy to start confronting the humans.

Regarding the issue of the adjacent territory between the Star Pirates and the Orcs, the three generals and the five councilors have discussed at least five times.

Eight people, four battles and four talks, which is why neither side has taken any measures to let them deal with it on their own. It is also because of this that the four commanders who should not have intervened in the internal military affairs have become their targets.

It's a pity that because of the temporary inaction of the upper echelons, the people below have begun to spread dissatisfaction, especially those whose relatives lost their lives. The star network is a mess.

In today's situation, no matter who stands up, no matter what decision is made, there will be no benefit.

If you fight, why didn't you act before?

If there is no war, is the alliance worth trusting?

Whoever picks up this mess is unlucky, but no one is stupid, knowing that this trip is impossible, they still have to be shy, so the other three old fritters in the four commanders are so fast.

As for Lan Xiao, as his father, Lan Zi cannot be said to be 100% sure of his son's temperament, and he also has 80.00% understanding. If he doesn't explain in advance, this guy will probably take over this matter.

It has to be said that what Mo Ruofu said is very reasonable. Even if Kou Zhong told him so, he still has another completely opposite idea in his heart.

Because of this matter, someone must come forward to break this stalemate, and the more delays, the more people will suffer.

Although he is not ashamed of those traitors, the people are innocent, and they should not be the victims of the struggle for power by the superiors.

Looking at his son's expression, Lan Zi knew that his words might be in vain.

Originally, he was just thinking that the third general wanted to find a replacement, and the fourth general had all gone out, so he also wanted his son to leave this muddy water, but he didn't expect that this matter was much more serious than he imagined.

Lan Xiao's ability has reached an insurmountable peak, and there are many people who want him to die. Father Lan is also aware of this, but he has never worried too much about his son's strength.

In his thinking, if he wants to bring down others, he can use all kinds of low-handed means, but collusion with foreign enemies is the only one, because this is no longer a simple fight for power and position that kills people, but yes--

treason.
