Chapter 1452 Living Crystal

Not long after this, a shocking news broke out——Hassan Ed, the local lord designated by His Majesty the Holy Emperor to take over the Phoenix National Defense Army, was found dead in his home. Before that, he was arranging important The tribe left the territory and took refuge in the United States of Jupiter.

Regarding his death, there are different opinions in the civil society. There are rumors that the lord was aware of Kursk Alexander's intention to kill him, so he arranged for his tribe to take refuge in the United States of Jupiter earlier.

Some people also said that this was just a coincidence. The lord was afraid that the swarm would harm his territory and hurt his clansmen, so he would arrange the way out in advance.

But obviously, not many people think this is a coincidence. To know that the lord died in his own home, how many people in the empire can do this kind of thing? Reminiscent of His Majesty's appointment letter, who is the most motivated person to carry out the assassination? The answer is ready to come.

Although no one has publicly accused Ingrid Alexander and Kursk Alexander of being a major suspect and needs to be investigated by relevant departments...Of course, it can also be said that no one dares to stand up and say so. Even if someone said it, the relevant departments would not dare to investigate.

However, it is this kind of silence fermented in the official circles of the Fillmos star system that is the most terrifying blow to the radicals.

The idea that another well-known member of the Radical faction was assassinated by the irascible Prince Kursk Alexander after the straight-talking Melvin Gago became a thorn in the heart of the Radical ministers, tormenting them constantly the spirit of.

More and more local lords began to consider the way out, and became cautious when facing Ingrid Alexander and Kursk Alexander, not daring to say much, for fear of offending the male and female Shura.

At this time, news came from the front that the zerg swarms had captured the mining planet adjacent to the habitable planet in the Harmure star system. Zerg forces on the surface of the mining planet barely held the Harmure star system.

As the range of Zerg activities snowballed, Tang Fang became more and more tired of dealing with this matter. The people of the Phoenix Empire saw it and were anxious.

At this time, there was a news in the world that the well-meaning Captain Tang asked the Adam government to restrain the military actions of the Covenant Navy in the Phoenix Empire as much as possible, so as to avoid further penetration and cause greater losses. Adam's government did not fully comply with his request, because Rene Ismail, Luke Stillberg and others were worried that the withdrawal of the Star Alliance naval fleet from the Phoenix Empire would introduce swarms of insects into the Star Alliance border. Those who are threatened are replaced by the people of the Covenant.

Considering the previous military strikes against the Star Alliance by the Phoenix Empire, and considering the Star Alliance soldiers who died for the country when resisting the Jupiter Expeditionary Force’s invasion of the Sotuk star system, no one agreed to go up to the Cabinet Council or go down to the market. The Covenant Navy retreats home.

Everyone is saying that it is time for those guys in the Phoenix Empire to pay the price for starting the war.

Captain Tang did not show dissatisfaction, because he understood the resentment and anger that the Covenant members had accumulated in their hearts for a long time, and they could only continue to run around where the swarms appeared, fighting fires everywhere, exhausted.

On the other hand, everyone in the Phoenix Empire is in danger, and civil society is shrouded in great fear. They were grateful for Captain Tang's dedication, but they knew clearly that the Dreadnought Commander-class fortress ship was at the end of its strength, and once the Zerg's range of activities continued to expand, it was very likely that they would be beyond their reach.

Feeling the conscience, based on the insult and hatred that the citizens of the Phoenix Empire treated him at the beginning, what he is doing now is completely repaying hatred with kindness, and doing everything from benevolence to righteousness.

At this time, a radical local lord named Bai Ran decided to withdraw from the rebel alliance and lead his troops back to the territory.

However, before he left the Fillmos star system, he was affected by a sudden terrorist attack and turned into a wisp of unwilling soul in the shuttle, sinking into the turbulent course of the Lyon River.

First came Melvin Gago, then Lord Hassan, and then Marquis Bai Ran... Panic continued to heat up in the official circles of the Fillmos star system.

Kursk? Alexander said many times that he did not do these things, but who would believe it?

If he didn't do it, why couldn't the military find the real culprit? With current science and technology, how can mere terrorists be opponents of elite troops like the Jupiter Expeditionary Army and the Phoenix National Defense Army?

The news media dominated by conservatives began to make a fuss about a series of assassinations. By guiding public opinion, Kursk Alexander and Ingrid Alexander became the target of public criticism.

If it was just Virginia Alexander's condemnation, people would feel that there was a court power struggle involved. But now the problem is different. Kursk Alexander and Ingrid Alexander, in order to maintain the integrity of the rebellious coalition forces, did not hesitate to assassinate those radical lords who wanted to leave by radical means, so that the army of the local lords would fall into their hands. Questioning is a very good development for the two of them, but it is a bad news for the residents of Bai Ran's territory.

If the worm swarm arrives, and Captain Tang's Dreadnought Commander-class fortress ship can't arrive in time, what will they do to resist the zerg landing force?

This incident caused a lot of noise among the people. Ingrid Alexander and Kursk Alexander can control the mouths of the media within their sphere of influence, but they cannot control the mouths of every public.

Not only are the people hostile to the two, but there are also many discordant voices within the Jupiter Expeditionary Army and the Phoenix National Defense Army. Because the soldiers who make up the army come from the local star system, where their parents, wives and children live. The cruelty of those two people exposed their loved ones to the threat of insect swarms, and of course they would complain.

This is what has happened for many days, and this is why Ingrid Alexander and Kursk Alexander are overwhelmed and exhausted. On the surface, it seems that they are taking the initiative in the military, but the pressure from other aspects is getting heavier.

"If you get the right way, you can help but if you don't, you can't help much." They understand this truth, but they are powerless to change the current situation. Whether it's the zerg swarms from the Queen of Blades or the Black Hand lurking in the shadows, there's nothing they can do.

Kursk? Alexander knew that there was not much time left for them, as if an invisible hand was manipulating the situation in the Phoenix Empire.

He decided to immediately launch an attack on the Quintaza star system where Virginia Alexander is located. Even if it was a bit hasty, the morale of the army was unstable, and the morale was low, he couldn't take care of that much. If he dragged it on, he would not need to attack the conservative army, and it would be composed of radical members. The rebellious coalition forces will fall apart.

Ironically, before he and Ingrid Alexander gave the order to start war, Marlo Smith stood up on behalf of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, gave a mobilization speech to the conservative armed fleet and the public, and vowed to bring those two countries to war. The sinners who fell into the quagmire of war were brought to justice, and the Fillmos star system was retaken.

It was under such circumstances that the military force gathered by the conservative faction took the lead in starting the war process, marching from the Quintasa star system to the Fillmos star system.

The international community was in an uproar. They did not expect that Marlo Smith would make such a bold move. The people of the Phoenix Empire were waiting to see. Many people hoped that the Capital Guard would be able to eliminate Ingrid Alexander and Kursk Alexander. Unkind fellow, do your best to heal the growing scars on this land.

Some international observers and military experts secretly sighed in their hearts, who said that Earl Marlowe was just a civilian politician, and the timing of sending troops to the Fillmos star system was just right. With this military vision and political literacy, It can be said that he is a rare talent in the world.

Of course, this matter does not rule out the help of Virginia Alexander.

While Ingrid Alexander and Kursk Alexander were confused by a series of situations, Tang Fang had already enjoyed a leisurely time.

Everyone thought that he was running around the Phoenix Empire, busy with dredging floods and fighting fires, and was exhausted. Even some kind-hearted Catholics and Jews never forget his name when they pray before meals, hoping that the true God will bless him safe and sound, so that he can contribute to world peace for a longer time.

Don't you know that Captain Tang on the Dreadnought Commander-class fortress is just a phantom of himself, a puppet, only acting according to the established policy. And the master who created the current situation has been spending a peaceful time with his big and small girlfriends on Akron.

This reminded him of his childhood fantasies --- how great it would be to have a clone, who could go to school, attend classes, and do homework instead of himself, so that he could continue to play carefree all the time, no need to be young Just bear so much pressure in study and life.

To this day, the childhood vision has been realized to a certain extent.

During his stay on Akron, he wasn't completely devoted to his children's love. Apart from the beautiful time when he kissed me with Freya and Claire, he also devoted a lot of energy to other things, such as adjusting The structure of the Akron Star Creep Continent further releases the development potential of the original Zerg; for example, it helps Valentine and Abathur to adjust and improve the Zerg unit at the genetic level, and to breed a new strain associated with zero isotopes. Insects; Another example is to help Dagos completely suppress the Zerg group belonging to the Queen of Blades in the paradise world, and let this planet be completely labeled with the word "Don".

In addition, Tang Yun and Kudelia came here during this period, the former was to visit her sister Claire, and although the latter said that she came for Claire and Yingluo, as far as Captain Tang knew, Turan The female generals of the United Kingdom of Turanx spent far more time on Tang Lin than on Claire and Yingluo (shortly after the civil war broke out in the Phoenix Empire, the United Kingdom of Turanx officially awarded Kudelia rank of brigadier general).

Chen Jian didn't stay in the Acubado star system for too long. To Tang Fang's surprise, Miss Cathy changed her usual indifferent image and got on the shuttle of Deputy Head Chen.

He really didn't know what kind of sweet words that guy who was full of trains used to abduct his brand new Valkyrie. But it’s good to think about it, this helps Cathy forget those unpleasant experiences, adjust her mentality, and welcome her new life with a positive side.

For Captain Tang's so-called "aftermath" in the Alcubado star system --- such as repairing the zero element collection system of Erna star. Miss Kelenia tends to use the four words "taking the opportunity to be lazy" to describe it.

He also needs the help of the female executive to contact Liliatta's Bahamut Pirates to cooperate with Marlo Smith's military operations. So I can only hold my nose and listen to her run on me. Anyway, that woman just complained because she was upset, and she is more responsible than anyone else when it comes to business... This is why he rest assured that he will entrust the morning star casting to her for management. .

Nehemiah just sent a message saying that the Star Alliance President Adam Oliver hoped to have an interview with him to discuss the follow-up military operations and strategic deployment.

He rejected Adam Oliver's request. It wasn't because the Adam government didn't agree to withdraw troops from the territory of the Phoenix Empire... that was a play on both sides. It's because he is busy doing one thing right now --- repairing the energy core of Paradise Star, that is, the mysterious crystal.

The aftermath of Akron is over, and Valentine's scientific research has also come to an end. It's time to turn our attention to Paradise...

You must know that Paradise Star can perform warp speed jumps, thanks to the huge crystal in the center of the lake that provides energy for the artificial solar system. In the previous battle, he destroyed the ring-shaped mechanical equipment used to gather the energy inside the crystal. As a direct consequence, the warp speed module of the artificial sun lost its energy supply and fell into a shutdown state.

He didn't want Paradise Star to stay here forever and become the third planet in the Alcubado star system. Although it does not have the attack power of a wandering planet, it is a good choice for a large mobile base with strategic significance. As a result, restoring the energy supply of the artificial sun is a big problem that needs to be solved urgently.

Fortunately, according to the guidance of the information stored in the Last Leaf system, several sets of T energy stone rectifiers developed by Noah on the basis of the equipment left by the Destroyer were found in a warehouse in the central fortress. specification rectifier.

"Samir Duran... You really can't determine the material composition of this crystal?" Alexey Stukov stood on the back of an eyeworm, looking at the figure floating in the sky with suspicious eyes .

He doesn't think that the dignified Sarnaga can't penetrate the secrets of the crystal. He suspects that Samir Duran is passively sabotaging his work in order to fight against Tang Fang's enslavement.

"If my main body is here, I may be able to see through the essence of the crystal. Unfortunately..." Mr. Doctor shook his head and said: "Although there is no way to know more about the situation, what is certain is that the energy level of this crystal is lower than that of pyroxene. To go above and beyond..."

He stopped suddenly at this point, glanced at Tang Fang, and said in an uncertain tone: "Also... I suspect this is a living crystal."

Thanks for the glass smashing reward.
